Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 202 Public Opinion Explosion
Although Supervisor Du and the others did not understand how Wu Xian specifically planned to achieve this, they were impressed by his abilities.

The methods of great scroll painters are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us.

"Alright, please give us five days, and we'll definitely make you satisfied," Manager Du said, patting his chest. "As for the virtual character design, we'll use your scroll image, right?"

“That’s right. You can design the specific borders, levels, decorations, etc. yourself.” Wu Xian took out a stack of drafts from his Qiankun bag: “These are the final drafts of my current scroll. I’m giving them to you for reference.”

Supervisor Du and the others glanced at it and were all stunned: "Six Cases and Four Judges? Is the Vice President going to release a new work?"

Wu Xian nodded, "This is a good opportunity to launch our new product."

"Great!" Director Du and his colleagues were overjoyed. "This will also give a boost to the release of this system."

Subsequently, under the leadership of Supervisor Du, the network department colleagues began to build the official website's gacha system.

Wu Xian also logged into the club's official website immediately and edited his personal column.

The first step was to freeze and cancel the orders that had been in the queue for over seven years.

He also issued a special announcement explaining: "Dear fans of Yin Shuai, due to the outrageous number of orders for the scrolls, I, Wu, have had to change the way the scrolls are sold, and therefore all current orders are cancelled."

A brand new sales system will be launched in a week, and some compensation will be given to users who have placed orders.

This reform is the result of comprehensive consideration from all aspects, and we eagerly anticipate its implementation.

In addition, along with the launch of the new sales system, my new scroll series, "Six Cases Officials," will also be released simultaneously.

Please stay tuned for further announcements in my personal column for details.

It must be said that Wu Xian still wields considerable influence in Yaoyang City.

The announcement immediately caused an uproar among the official website's fan base.

Before long, the customer service department contacted him urgently; his phone had been ringing off the hook.

But there's no way around it; suddenly pulling this stunt is bound to cause a media frenzy.

Immediately, fans complained and conspiracy theories arose.

"What the heck? Why did they suddenly suspend sales and cancel all orders?"

"The queue is already seven years in advance, which is really outrageous. Even I would have a headache if I were in their shoes."

"Something's not right, something's a million times wrong."

"Could this be an internal power struggle within the club? Is Chairman Xue going to target Master Wu?"

"What are you thinking? They are master and apprentice, not just a simple superior-subordinate colleague relationship."

"What's going on? Could it be that the Alliance and the Association are secretly suppressing Master Wu?"

"It's unlikely. I work for the association, and they value Master Wu highly."

"Can anyone tell me what happened? I finally got an order, and now it's almost my turn to see it, waaaaah..."

"Didn't the announcement say that a completely new sales method would be adopted, and that current order users would also receive some compensation?"

"A completely new way of releasing it? Aren't all picture scroll releases the same? What other way could there be?"

"Who knows? We'll see."

"Hehe, it would be great if we could start queuing up again, that would be awesome!"

Many netizens who have been waiting in line for ages are filled with fantasies about this.

"You upstairs are just watching the show, aren't you?"

"By the way, can you guys focus on the important part? A brand new 'Six Cases Officials' series will be released in a week!"

"Has Master Wu already released the scroll depicting the rise of the Ten Great Underworld Marshals in such a short time?"

"By the way, what's the situation with these Six Cases Officers? Has any veteran insider revealed any information?"

"Since it's a higher-level system, it can't be bad."

"Don't rush, let's wait and see."

……

Xue Lingling also received the news quickly and expressed concern about Wu Xian's actions.

"What are you trying to do?" Xue Lingling asked, puzzled. "Even though we're the dominant force now, this kind of behavior is likely to alienate people." "Don't worry, Master Sister, I know what I'm doing," Wu Xian chuckled. "We'll see in a week."

He then explained his card-drawing system to his master.

Xue Lingling became increasingly speechless as she listened. "This...is this even possible? What if I never manage to draw the picture scroll I want? Won't they curse you to death online?"

"Let them criticize," Wu Xian said indifferently. "It's normal to want to slander someone you can't have. Isn't it the same with gold tickets in the normal sales system?"

“That’s different. A normal sales system doesn’t require any investment,” Xue Lingling shook her head and said, “The key to your approach is that you might end up wasting money and there are certain legal risks involved.”

"Isn't there a safety net system to cover everything?"

"That's true, but a lot of people will definitely resent it and it will affect your reputation."

Wu Xian said he didn't care.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own taste. No matter how talented a scroll artist is, it's impossible for everyone to like them; there will always be a group of people who dislike them.

All you need to do is serve your own "fan base".

"Alright," Xue Lingling said helplessly, "How do you plan to compensate the current order group? It's hard to silence public opinion. If the compensation is too little, they won't be happy. If it's too much, can you afford it?"

That's nearly 100,000 orders!

Wu Xian smiled calmly, indicating to Xue Lingling that she could rest assured.

He already had a strategy for dealing with this.

For users who placed orders for the copper axis replica, simply compensate them with one "Encounter Fate" item and that's it.

The key focus is on the orders for upgrading to silver switches. Wu Xian counted over six hundred silver switch orders in total.

This group of users consists of existing users who already own the Yin General's Scroll, and they are also the future loyal user group. When the time comes, we will compensate each of them with a low-level Yin Soldier, which will definitely make them grin from ear to ear.

It can also reveal the existence of special beings called "ghost soldiers and demon soldiers" along the way.

When the time comes, the ghost soldiers will be added to the card pool as special cards. If you want to build your own ghost soldier team, you will still have to draw cards.

However, before that, there is another very important thing: to cultivate and "capture" the ghost soldiers.

……

Dengfeng Martial Arts Hall, Bai Family.

When Shiraishi returned to the dojo, he was like a completely different person, radiating humility and composure from the inside out.

Along the way, many of his fellow disciples made sarcastic remarks when they saw him return, but he didn't care.

Because only he himself knows how much he gained from his trip to Yaoyang City.

"You're back?" Bai Qifeng, the father who was handling the affairs of the dojo, raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Ah."

Bai Qifeng seemed somewhat puzzled: "According to the messages sent back by my subordinates, it seems you messed things up in Yaoyang City?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shiqi nodded helplessly, "I am not as skilled as you, and I have disappointed you."

Sensing his son's change, a strange light flashed in Bai Qifeng's eyes.

My son is young and impetuous, and he doesn't respect anyone. It's rare that he can now calmly admit his defeat!

"I heard she's a young girl from the Necromancer's Gym. For someone to win your heart so sincerely, she must be an exceptionally outstanding person." Bai Qifeng couldn't help but feel a little curious.

“Yes, Miss Xue is indeed outstanding,” Bai Shiqi said noncommittally, “but what’s even more outrageous is her apprentice.”

"Disciple?" Bai Qifeng was stunned.

After graduating from the dojo and becoming a dojo practitioner, it's not surprising that they can take on apprentices in the general public; they are perfectly qualified to do so.

The problem is, judging from what the son said, this apprentice seems to be even more capable than his master.

Bai Shiqi took a deep breath. "This person is named Wu Xian. He is eighteen years old and has embarked on the path of a scroll painter through self-study. He was recently discovered by Xue Lingling and taken as her disciple."

"Self-taught and figured out?" Bai Qifeng was surprised again.
