Chapter 111: Chapter 111: This is the comment section, not a no-man’s land!
There’s no denying that Sheng Qinghong’s beauty attack is truly out of this world.
The tickets priced at 30,000 each sold out quickly, with Sheng Qinghong personally handing each ticket to the buyers while also delivering the freshly printed IKD Flying Group promotional brochure from yesterday.
The cover of the IKD brochure boldly features Sheng Qinghong in a sexy black bodysuit that highlights his figure, lazily leaning against a private red hovercar, with a handsome and picturesque scene that’s almost worth keeping secretly.
Inside the brochure, various IKD products are introduced, including but not limited to various airplanes, hovercars, wireless aircraft, gliders, and more.
"Dear customer, there will be a glider and single hovercar sales event in 3 days, with discounted prices and considerate services. Those who purchase on the day can even enjoy a practice session accompanied by a model with model-like measurements ~"
Qian Qi winked at the ladies, "At IKD, we specialize in thoughtful service!"
"Indeed, so considerate." An awakening lady couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up, "If I return safely, I’ll definitely support you in 3 days."
"And you can bring along your girlfriends too~" Qian Qi gave an understanding look, "Good things should be shared!"
"Hahaha~" Several nearby female Awakeners couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up, "You IKD people are really interesting!"
The Awakeners who bought return tickets all went into the instance to hunt for the boss, while those who didn’t manage to get tickets couldn’t help but inquire, "Are there really no tickets left? Can you sell just one more?"
After speaking, they couldn’t help but glance at Sheng Qinghong hiding behind Qian Qi after selling all the tickets.
His strong muscles were truly something women drooled over and men envied, no wonder some male Awakeners also sneaked glances.
Qian Qi showed a difficult expression, "Well..."
"Hey, little brother, why are your plane tickets only sold to female Awakeners? Are you guys at IKD determined to do business only with women?"
A male Awakener said indignantly, "Are you looking down on our men’s spending power?"
"That’s not... that’s not the case..." Qian Qi suddenly became tongue-tied, looking quite flustered, then sent a pleading look to Sheng Qinghong in the jacket behind her.
"What’s going on?" Sheng Qinghong, receiving Qian Qi’s gaze, walked over with great momentum, "Why are you arguing with customers? Have you forgotten our IKD service philosophy!"
"Well, boss..." Qian Qi said awkwardly, "We only printed 30 plane tickets, initially prioritizing women, but now not only many female Awakeners didn’t get tickets, even male Awakeners feel we’re being too stingy..."
"I see." Sheng Qinghong pondered thoughtfully with his long fingers on his chin, then waved his hand large and decisive, "We shouldn’t limit ourselves to plane tickets, as long as you have an IKD brochure, you can pay directly inside the instance and get on the plane!"
"But!" Qian Qi shouted excitedly, "If you stay in the instance for 2 days and personally pilot the plane, your body won’t be able to handle it!"
"No problem, this is what being the person in charge of IKD requires." Sheng Qinghong firmly stated.
"Though our plane has strong endurance and we’ve prepared enough energy, many Awakeners will bring Demons onto the plane, which will cause us more losses..." Qian Qi said impatiently, clearly disagreeing with Sheng Qinghong’s decision, "We need more revenue to offset the losses, so we’ll have to increase ticket prices."
"That won’t do!" Sheng Qinghong responded righteously, "Business is all about integrity, how can I raise prices on the spot!"
"Boss—" Qian Qi saw Sheng Qinghong’s stubbornness and yelled heart-wrenchingly, "You have to think clearly! We’ll lose money this way!"
"How about this!" Sheng Qinghong frowned and thought, then waved his hand large, "We’ll issue another 100 limited special plane tickets, as long as you pay the original price now, you’ll get a receipt that allows you to bring a Magic Beast corpse out of the instance for free, but if you pay inside the instance, you’ll have to pay an additional five thousand for each Magic Beast’s transport fee!"
Hearing that paying outside the instance could waive the transport fee, the Awakeners quickly perked up and rushed over, fearing they wouldn’t get the special plane tickets.
"I want to buy! I want to buy! Hey, no cutting in line!"
"Who’s pushing me? Damn! Don’t fight with me!"
These Awakeners have never seen this kind of "scripted" marketing trick, fearing IKD might change its mind if it felt it was losing money, they hurriedly deposited ticket money into Qian Qi’s POS machine, while long-arranged employees walked out from the airplane seating compartment, wearing IDK uniforms and taking over Qian Qi’s work, entertaining the Awakeners present.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the Awakeners, Qian Qi unconsciously curved her lips slightly, she signaled a nearby hired photographer and editor, who nodded and left.
An hour later, a video about Sheng Qinghong’s beauty-muscle attack went viral on the instance forum, sparking heated discussions.
[--Whoa, where is this? It’s got such a handsome guy?]
[--Seems like the Chuyun Mountain instance, I missed it because of the flight restriction, oh my, what have I missed!]
[--Tsk tsk, muscle, figure, attractiveness, I heard this is the heir of IKD? Actually serving us personally, enough said, I’m going charging in!]
[--Heh, just a high-level trick to please our wallets! I’m not falling for it! So I’ve decided to just go and see the person!]
[--Wow, has the airline industry become so competitive now! Please, more! Not enough for me to surpass!]
[--Attention upstairs, this is the comment section, not a no-man’s land!]
Awakeners nationwide, after seeing the video, decided to head to the Chuyun Mountain instance for an impromptu trip. Of course, the muscle handsome guy isn’t the only reason motivating them to come, but also hearing that IKD’s helicopter will enter the instance to pick up Awakeners, they wanted to see what’s going on.
Moreover, going to the Chuyun Mountain instance now means they can personally gather the latest firsthand news, if the instance’s strategy difficulty isn’t too high, they can also take IKD’s helicopter out of the instance, allowing them to enter the instance ahead of other Awakeners to find the Demon Boss.
As for the male Awakeners, they even rushed to Xia City, not only full of interest in the upcoming display of gliders and hovercars but also excited to enter the instance.
Therefore, a large number of Awakeners rapidly poured into Xia City that day, charging into this red-hot land, and the attracted ones were not just the Awakeners, many ordinary people without Awakened Skills also arrived, looking for the handsome guy and taking a tour in Xia City incidentally.
"Little Sheng, you keep busy." Seeing the ticket sales go smoothly, Qian Qi checked the time, "I have some things to do, remember to fly into the instance at 8 PM sharp and bring the passengers back."
Sheng Qinghong followed and checked the time, discovering it was only 6:30.
He didn’t understand why Qian Qi was so certain the instance would be conquered by 8 PM, but so far, her C plan had been verified feasible, so he decided to trust Qian Qi.
He was about to express his gratitude and trust to his trading partner, when he suddenly saw Qian Qi with a serious face.
"And..." Qian Qi pointed sternly at him, "Why did you put your jacket back on? Hurry up and take it off! I’m not asking you to take off your pants, just show your arm, what are you afraid of?"
Can’t you just learn from her and sell some beauty, after all, how can you go against money!
Sheng Qinghong: ...
Slightly aggrieved, Sheng Qinghong took off his jacket, never imagining that once wealthy, he’d be forced one day to rely on selling beauty to save his company from near defeat!
----
Inside the Chuyun Mountain instance, many Awakeners had already started teaming up for exploration, and quite a few who bravely ventured into the instance a couple of days ago were fighting Magic Beasts.
Qian Qi showed a slightly apologetic smile through the thin clouds at them, then excitedly, with a little psychotic grin, charged towards the Sakyamuni Demon Vine boss.
This time, she didn’t mess around. When 8 PM arrived, she descended from the sky and smashed the Sakyamuni Demon Vine boss, gaining the Poison Attribute boost.
At that moment, the entire instance’s Awakeners suddenly sensed the instance was conquered.
Them: ???
No way?
How was it suddenly conquered?
They had only been there for an hour and a half? Not even encountering a Magic Beast, and it was over?
Outside the instance, the slightly anxious Sheng Qinghong waited until 8 PM, then quickly donned his jacket and boarded the helicopter, under the watchful eyes of the crowd and broadcast, he flew the helicopter into the Chuyun Mountain instance.
Meanwhile, those waiting outside the instance to observe, both Awakeners and civilians, looked expectantly at the instance entrance, discussing whether the IKD helicopter could indeed bring Awakeners back safely.
If it could, many things would drastically change as a result.
For example, the most concerning house prices.
