Chapter 229 Media Platform
While the Mithril team was discussing, Luo Feng's team was also having a meeting.
Only three team members and Io's ball attended the meeting. The Transformers family, Yao En, Kara and Akanis who were recruiting in the Faerun continent were all rejected by Luo Feng.
The team members had already learned the rules of the meeting. Tang Xiaotian raised his hand first: "Captain, the way we gain negative reputation is to start a big revolution in Faerun?"
"of course not."
"Then what you said to Drizzt just now..."
"Half truth, half lie. If I had proposed letting him capture Menzoberranzan from the beginning, he would definitely not be able to accept it and would not even consider it."
Luo Feng explained with a smile: "Conquering Menzoberranzan is already a fantasy for him. He might be able to sneak in like a knight and fight the mistress of a certain family, but when it comes to conquering this This city, even a Faerûn hero like Drizzt, doesn’t have that kind of ambition.”
"But what does helping Drizzt capture Menzoberranzan have to do with gaining negative reputation?"
Klein raised his hand and asked. He didn't understand the captain's intention.
"Open your investigator communicator's light screen and take a look."
Luo Feng said while turning on the light screen: "The progress of the reputation mission is close to 50%, but the distortion of the plot world is pitifully low. After all our hard work, our reputation has reached the level of being famous in Faerûn. The stage drama Phantom and Art The work is well known to everyone, but the distortion of the world obtained is not as much as beating Chanem, and it has no impact on the world at all."
Tang Xiaotian suddenly said: "It turns out that the captain wants to increase the distortion of the plot world. If Drizzt captures Menzoberranzan and becomes the master of Menzoberranzan, the distortion of the plot world will definitely increase significantly."
"I originally thought that by bringing some classic works from the real world to the continent of Faerûn and reproducing them, the people of Faerûn would be more or less affected by them and change the inherent trajectory of the world. But unfortunately, the result was different from what I thought. different."
Luo Feng said helplessly: "It seems that if you want to change the world, it's not enough to be imaginary. You must do something real."
"Menzoberranzan is a large dark elf city in the Underdark. There are more than 20,000 dark elves, almost all warriors, priests and warlocks. There are no civilians. Even if the goal is to capture Menzoberranzan, it only depends on us and Mithril. Isn’t it difficult for a small team to do this?”
Klein raised his hand and asked.
"Everything depends on human effort. How will you know you can't do it if you don't try?"
Luo Feng said: "If Drizzt can really read the few books I gave him, he will be more than enough to become Lord of Menzoberranzan."
Klein, a native of the plot world, does not know what is written in the books that the captain gave to Drizzt. He cannot understand why reading those red books can allow an adventurer to capture a city and become a qualified city lord. But since the captain said so, he didn't ask any more questions, thinking about reading it when he had the opportunity in the future.
"Captain, if Drizzt is persuaded by you, shall we leave for the Underdark Region?" Zhang Daniu asked: "Then can we complete the task of gaining negative reputation?"
"Of course." Luo Feng replied: "Every mission should be as perfect as possible. This is my principle."
"But we are in the Dark Territory, how can we gain negative reputation on the surface?" Zhang Daniu then asked: "Is the team going to be split into two parts?"
"I don't dare to let you go too far away from me." Luo Feng shook his head and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to gain a negative reputation. Even if we are in the Dark Area, we can quickly become demons in the hearts of people on the surface."
The team members all made a listening gesture, waiting for the captain to answer their questions.
Luo Feng said with a smile: "Faerun is a very strange place. Black technology is obviously very advanced. In the slums of Ascatla City, a spaceship (dimension magic ball) with the ability to space jump even crash-landed. Various technologies Creation has also appeared, but the education level of ordinary people is very poor. The clerk of the city hall once complained that no one read the notice he wrote, and it was written in vain.
In Amn, even if people who can only write their own names are included, the literacy rate only reaches 10%. The papermaking technology in Faerûn is relatively mature. Scroll paper and book paper are very common, but there is no communication medium like newspapers. Knowledge is only in the hands of a very few people such as mages, priests, and nobles.
When I was doing the task of building a positive reputation, the reason why I didn’t plan to be a copywriter was because even if I wrote something good, not many people would read it. That’s why I formed a theater troupe and used a stage that everyone can understand. Play to gain reputation. "
After Yao En invented the 'Light and Shadow Magic Box' and the 'Illusion Magic Crystal Disk', the speed of information dissemination on the continent of Faerûn has been greatly improved. Otherwise, it would have been the most primitive way of telling people by word of mouth and writing letters. way of information circulation.
The 'Shadow' discs and illusion stage plays we produced made merchants profitable, and 'Shadow Theaters' were established all over the continent of Faerûn. Now, as soon as the newly recorded stage play and shadows are released, it won't be long before they can be seen across Faerûn. Invisibly, we have actually established a media platform that can cover Faerûn. "
After Luo Feng's explanation, the team members nodded slowly.
"Shadow Merchant" has become a very profitable profession in the continent of Faerûn. The theater troupe's works are burned into discs and will be snapped up by "Shadow Merchant" overnight. These businessmen immediately embark on a journey after getting the new works. , sending the works to "Shadow Theater" across Faerûn for play.
The Bredlow Troupe made a lot of money by selling video discs. Many envious businessmen wanted to follow suit and hired illusionists and dwarf engineers to crack Yao En's invention. However, they encountered a technical threshold and there was no mature copycat product in more than two years. come out.
Therefore, the media platform built by the "Shadow Merchant" and the "Shadow Theater Operator" is firmly in the hands of the Bradero Theater Company, which is the only one capable of recording Magic Crystal discs.
As long as the Bradero Theater Company does not sell the Magic Shadow discs, the Magic Shadow merchants and the operators of the Magic Shadow Theater Company will have no choice but to go bankrupt and lose all their money.
Faintly, these businessmen formed a community of interests with the Bradero Theater Company. They followed closely behind the theater group and provided the theater group with convenient conditions for information dissemination.
"We have the only media platform in Faerûn. Isn't it easy to make our reputation notorious?"
"Captain, you mean we start making bad movies from now on?"
"Why make a bad movie?" Luo Feng shook his head and said: "No matter how bad the movie is, the audience will just think that I am crazy and stupid. How can I become a devil in people's minds?"
