Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

At this moment, Topa, who had been silently observing from the crowd, finally stepped forward.

She kept smiling.

"First of all, this is neither your press conference nor his press conference."

"This is a product launch event for the company."

"Secondly, this is exactly as agreed, Mr. Shuojin."

"This launch event will belong to the winning product."

Only then did Shuojin realize what was happening, and, reeking of foul odor, he pointed at Topa and cursed:

"Topa! You treacherous and vicious corporate dog! I will never let you get away with this! I'm going to kill you!"

Topa ignored Shuojin's venomous words, simply turning around and giving the order:

"Security, clean this up."

Jimi quickly grabbed the microphone and continued explaining.

"Just as you all just saw!"

"Luca, using the [Mamitu 17ProPlus combat exoskeleton], even defeated the company's latest [next-generation powered combat armor ARMS]!"

"What an unexpected and surprising showdown of contradictions!"

At this point, an audience member asked a question.

"But I still have both arms, how am I supposed to use these prosthetic arms?"

"It's simple, just cut them up!" Yan Huan suggested to the audience while holding a basket of eggs.

"Great!" Some people were so excited that they raised their right hands and looked around.

"Does anyone have a knife? Cut off my hand to liven things up for everyone!!"

"Hey, hey, there's no need for that!" Jimi quickly dissuaded him:

"Please rest assured."

"[MamiTu ProPlus Combat Exoskeleton] now offers free customization services, tailoring an exoskeleton to suit different body structures for our clients!"

At this point, another audience member asked a question.

"So, where can I buy it?"

Jimi quickly replied:

"It's available at all Star Peace Mall stores! I, Old Jimi, have also secured 100 free trial slots for everyone. Join me at the press conference today and shout the redemption code—[Iron Fist Luca! Invincible Fist]—for a chance to win!"

The audience was in an uproar.

"Free trial? This is incredible! It's rare for the company to be so kind! Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of such a good deal!"

"[Iron Fist Luca! Invincible Fist Technique!]"

"[Iron Fist Luca! Invincible Fist Technique!]"

Jimi excitedly raised his right hand and shouted along:

"[Iron Fist Luca, Invincible Fist Technique!]"

"[Iron Fist Luca, Invincible Fist Technique!]"

Seeing this lively scene, Luca couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Is this all over?"

“Yes, you can withdraw from the competition.” Yan Huan appeared out of nowhere and patted Luca on the shoulder.

"I earned about 30 million credits from selling eggs. Your mission is complete."

"Huh? Young Master Duo?!" Luca stared at him in disbelief.

"Thirty-three million...?!"

"Yes, all the eggs in the venue today were contributed by me."

Yan Huan put down the egg basket, deeply moved.

"Being a guest is great, there were so many people in the venue, and I was the only one who could sell... Is this the benefit of a monopoly?"

“It seems Mr. Yan Huan is in a very good mood.” Toppa walked over slowly and stood in front of the two of them.

"It's too noisy here, let's find somewhere else to talk."

Amidst the thunderous cheers of the audience, Toppa led the two to the upper level.

It's much quieter here.

"So, Luca, are you satisfied with my arrangements?" Topa asked with a smile.

Luca seemed a little embarrassed:

"Although it has revealed Shuojin's true colors, Miss Topa, please tell me the arrangements in advance next time."

"I never expected that in the end, I would still be advertising for the company..."

"It's okay. You didn't receive any advertising fees, so it's just telling the truth whether it works or not."

Having made a fortune, Yan Huan was beaming with joy, and the competition format of the martial arts ceremony didn't seem so absurd anymore.

Toppa looked at Yan Huan and said with a faint smile:

“Mr. Yan Huan, the attitude of those viewers seems to have changed rather quickly.”

"Based on my initial estimate, I think half of the people should still be questioning Luca today."

"That won't do!" Yan Huan spread her hands.

"I've already made all the money, so of course I need to prevent imitators from emerging!"

"..."

Chapter 996 Do you think I would believe that?

"I don't understand," Luca said, puzzled.

"That guy Shuojin hates companies to the core, how could he so easily take the bait and agree to Miss Topa's cooperation invitation?"

"Huh? You think he's like you?" Topa crossed his arms.

I don't think so.

……

Some time ago.

It's in the same location.

Shuojin was unwilling to be brought here by Topa.

"Advertising endorsement?"

Shuojin put his hands on his hips and said seriously:

"what do you mean?"

"I am currently the opinion leader in the entire Luofu region who opposes corporate capital involvement in Xianzhou martial arts!"

Toppa explained:

"The Strategic Investment Department is not here at the Martial Arts Ceremony to compete for some insignificant rankings."

"Our goal is to use this match as an opportunity to gain more commercial benefits."

"Mr. Shuojin, I believe you feel the same way, don't you?"

"For people like you and me, morality, opinions, and stances are nothing more than words for others to hear."

"The only thing that matters is the countless credit points, isn't it?"

"..."

"Ha, ha ha ha ha!!"

Shuojin laughed shrilly.

"Topa, what kind of person do you take me for?"

"Do you think I would abandon the persona I've always maintained for such a small gain?"

"I can tell the difference between one full meal and a full meal!"

"Don't be naive; you think you can bribe me with just an advertising flyer."

"I've dominated the arena for so many years, do you think I'm short of your little bit of money? Only a country bumpkin like Luca would be bought off with such a small sum!"

"And I've heard for a long time that the person you've always wanted to sign is Luka and his coach!"

"No, no, no." Topa shook his head.

"I have given up on them."

"They are not pragmatic people, and they all rejected my proposal."

"If someone refuses a win-win situation, someone else will accept it."

"That's why I found you."

"Next, I will organize a competition in the name of [new product launch], with you and Luca as the two sides."

Toppa smiled faintly and handed Shuojin a product brochure.

"I will prepare the latest armor for you."

"With your skills, plus the mecha the company has recently developed, do you really think you're afraid of a one-armed boxer?"

Shuojin took the manual and examined it closely.

"...This armored vehicle from the company is the one you're planning to have me endorse?"

“That’s right,” Topa continued.
