Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 663 - 496: Sour Cabbage Beef Noodle Soup_3

Xiaoga Yexiong thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "I heard that kid comes from an ordinary background. His family only has 'Chen Biological', so it's no wonder he'd do anything for a bit of money. Those with low origins tend to be shortsighted."

However, by that afternoon, as Xiaoga Yexiong was riding home from work, he saw a holographic advertising space playing an ad that seemed to feature Chen Gu.

He glanced at it in the car and didn't look again, thinking it must be a promotional ad for his commercial competition.

But then, mere seconds later, he spotted another ad on top of a building showing a similar promotion. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

His home was on a floating island, and it took about half an hour to get there from the head office building, with twenty-six minutes of the journey on the ground. During that time, he saw at least sixty advertising spaces playing ads for this "commercial competition."

Xiaoga Yexiong smirked to himself. Those living on the surface are all poor, he mused. A celebrity like Chen Gu is indeed low-end; his audience all lives on the ground.

Yet, as soon as his car entered the floating island where he lived, the most expensive advertising spot above the entrance was prominently displaying Chen Gu's ad.

Furthermore, this ad was quite lengthy. It started playing while he was queuing to enter the island and was still going when he finally arrived!

During the four-minute journey on the floating island, he saw ten more advertising spots broadcasting Chen Gu's competition ads!

The floating island is different from below; it's inhabited by the rich and noble. To avoid disturbing their rest, there are very few advertising spots up here. Being able to advertise heavily in this area was previously a luxury. Now it seems... Chen Gu's target audience isn't just those low-level people on the ground...

Although no one knew Xiaoga Yexiong's inner turmoil, he felt a burning sensation on his face.

As soon as he entered his house, he saw his servants hurriedly hiding something.

Xiaoga Yexiong's expression changed. "What are those things!?"

The servants, not daring to disobey, nervously brought out the items. Xiaoga Yexiong was furious to see they were various supporting props for Chen Gu's competition!

Moreover, each item was of excellent quality, not the usual, crudely made kind. They actually fit the "taste" of the floating island.

Xiaoga Yexiong exclaimed angrily, "You are all fans of Chen Gu?"

The servants didn't dare to hide it. "Young Master, it's not just us... We can't afford such expensive supporting props. The Young Miss gave us the money to purchase these. During the competition, she's planning to lead us all, forming a 'Chen Gu Supporter Fan Xiaogasa Family Squad'..."

"Silence!" Xiaoga Yexiong was on the verge of exploding with rage. What kind of absurd formation was this? Didn't they know our Xiaogasa Family is in a life-or-death struggle with Chen Gu and Aviloya?!

But his anger was impotent. He was keenly aware of his position within the Xiaogasa Family. Frankly, he was merely a "utility person." The Young Miss, however, was the Family Head's youngest granddaughter, the pearl of the family. Cherished and meticulously protected since birth, she remained innocent and carefree, blissfully ignorant of all the dirty and vile political struggles.

At her age, fifteen or sixteen, it was no surprise she would like a big star like Chen Gu.

Xiaoga Yexiong was frustrated but couldn't vent his anger. He desperately wanted to go over and stomp all those fan props to pieces, but if he actually did that, with the Young Miss's temper, she would definitely come looking for trouble with him. Shaking his head, he stormed inside.

Once in his study, he sat alone and stewed for a while before he turned on the Star Internet to look closely at how much money Chen Gu could earn from this so-called commercial competition and why it had garnered such grand attention.

Then he realized there was no need for him to perform laborious calculations himself. Some eager netizens had already created a thread, updating in real time the sponsors and broadcasters who were constantly joining the competition.

The competition would start in three days. To date, all the major live-streaming systems in Star Sea were vying for broadcasting rights. The platforms that had secured broadcasting rights so far were each offering prices ranging from three hundred million to nine hundred million Starshield, depending on the scope of their "exclusive broadcasting rights." This only covered the broadcasting rights for about half of Star Sea; the rights for the other half were still being fiercely competed for.

And there were even more sponsors, one familiar brand and company after another appearing on the list. Advertising sponsorship prices started at two hundred million Starshield, with the highest one now at six hundred and seventy million Starshield!

The current total income was calculated at fifty-seven billion, four hundred ninety-seven million Starshield. According to everyone's estimates, the final income from the competition would surely exceed one hundred billion Starshield!

Xiaoga Yexiong felt his vision blur, a bit lightheaded. Just one competition, and the income is over a hundred billion?! Have people gone mad? Is Starshield not considered money anymore?

After calming down, he started to analyze the competition carefully and soon understood why the income was so high.

Chen Gu, leveraging the Behemoth Alliance, had successfully hyped this competition to an extreme level, with all platforms continuously providing in-depth coverage.

Not only was Heibo packaged as a "down-and-out middle-aged man fighting for his dream," generating a universal eagerness to watch the competition, but Chen Gu was also portrayed as "willing to help the underdog, with great sympathy and professional ethics," simultaneously donning the mantle of "dream achiever."
