Chapter 14 - Crazily Publicizing (1/2)

Chapter 14 – Crazily Publicizing

Truthfully speaking, publicizing wasn’t an embarra.s.sment. It was also a form of advertis.e.m.e.nt.

And publicizing on the web was an even cheaper and more efficient form of advertising. In his previous life on Earth, a few superstars, authors, or anybody with even a little bit of fame, they would all wildly publicize themselves on the web to increase their popularity.

If there was some movie coming out, everybody related to it would be even more proactive. The weather channel, all the main forums, microblogs, and whatnot, they would crazily publicize everywhere and make it so that everybody knew about it.

After all, the era where good quality products sold in even the worst of places was over. Now, good quality products needed even more advertising and even more publicity to ensure their success and profit.

Naturally, Xia Ping also wasn’t a good bird. In his previous life, he had seen too much darkness. If a product wanted to be successful, fifty percent depended on the product itself while the other half depended on good management.

And on Yanhuang Star, the people on the web were all very pure and innocent. They hadn’t experienced the insane amounts of publicizing that had happened on Earth’s internet. All of them just honestly posted something on the forums to discuss with other people.

Under such circ.u.mstances, it was likely that all he needed to do was use some of Earth’s publicizing tricks and he could immediately become popular and gain a lot of fame.

Thinking up to here, Xia Ping instantly took action. He planned on going onto Yanhuang Star’s largest forum, Skyhawk Forum, and start publicizing, but before that his first step was to create a troll account.

Using this troll account, he immediately wrote a post t.i.tled: [Teacher Bai Rong is the BEST erotic web novel that I’ve read recently! All the other web novels are TRAs.h.!.+]

This post was dedicated towards sucking up.

From the plot, idea, the depth, everything was described in the most flattering way possible. It made this web novel seem as if it was the best and most unique story in the world and that if you didn’t read it, you would regret it the rest of your life. So nauseating were the contents, that even Xia Ping blushed.

However, this was only the beginning. After that, he registered five to six other troll accounts and commented on the post.

“Totally agree with you. Although this web novel isn’t the best in the world, but from what I know, there isn’t one that can beat it so far. It is what will bring up and support erotic web novels, a landslide amongst those other trash-like web novels. I can absolutely guarantee that this web novel will be the most popular erotic web novel of the year as a new erotic web novel master rises,” a troll account boasted.

“Yeah, right, keep on boasting! A master? Why don’t you go screw off with your bulls.h.i.+t. I already read that web novel and it completely sucks. Even if a preschooler wrote a web novel, it would still be better than this one,” a second troll account mocked at full force. After all, publicizing couldn’t just rely solely on boasting or promotion, otherwise people will quickly figure things out. It needed to be praised and criticized the same time to make it look realistic.

“What the guy above me said is right. I took a look and found out that it was actually written by a dog from the province of Yangzhou! Who doesn’t know that this Yangzhou Province is basically a literary desert without any literacy at all? And a web novel written by somebody from Yangzhou is even worse! Practically tras.h.!.+ To be honest, and don’t hate me for this, people from the province of Yangzhou are basically illiterate. At least, they’re behind my Jizhou Province by several hundred years!” troll account three taunted, maliciously provoking a battle between provinces.

Due to Yanhuang Star’s unification, the entire star had been divided into nine great provinces. Jizhou Provonce, Yanzhou Province, Qingzhou Province, Xuzhou Province, Yangzhou Province, Jingzhou Province, Yuzhou Province, Yizhou Province, and Yongzhou Province.

Every province developed differently, and thus naturally, there was a lot of compet.i.tion and conflict between them. Every province disliked the other. On the web, there was even the occasional war of words between people from different provinces.

“Jizhou dog, you dare?! Don’t overestimate yourselves just because a few famous people came from your Jizhou Province! All of you just basically depend on those old fogeys to hold things up while not a single person from the young generation can make the cut! Your province has already declined and can only depend on its former glory! Without mentioning anything else, just this web novel alone is enough to crush your Jizhou Province underfoot for another hundred years!” a fourth troll account hysterically raged, as if he was somebody from the province of Yangzhou.
