Chapter 1228: 702: Wagering the Reputation of the Knight Organization
The President’s eyes lit up. Most of the senators were over 50 years old, and some of them had become like hand-held tractors from fighter jets in certain abilities.
Extending their life by 21 years meant returning to the best years of their lives!
The senators… would definitely go crazy recruiting talent.
Qing Chen grinned and said, “However, regaining your freedom doesn’t mean you can do whatever you please. I hope everyone can live honestly after leaving the camp, not like before. I went through the promises each of you made to the voters over the years. Among the 73 senators, there are 631 promises that have not been fulfilled. You’ve let the voters down.”
The President sighed and said nothing.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said, “But the two industry giants I recruited still have some doubts. They don’t quite believe in the 21-year life extension thing and hope for more proof… They believe more in science.”
Within the Federation, science and mysticism were very distinct, although there was no contempt chain, everyone played in their own space.
Qing Chen laughed, “Don’t worry, I will provide them the proof. I found someone very persuasive for them.”
…
…
Countdown to return: 14:00:00.
As policies kept being rolled out in City No. 10, Qing Chen eventually threw out the concept policy of settling in to extend life by 21 years.
At this moment, all the people paying attention to City No. 10 online were dumbfounded…
What the hell? Extend life by 21 years? Why not say Qi Gong can cure diabetes?
Next, the President began to speak from his own experience, sharing how he extended his life by 21 years.
Not just the President, even three celebrities including Song Niannian, who had been very cooperative in promoting City No. 10, were empowered by Qing Chen to come out as examples one after another.
But even with these people proving the credibility of the matter, the public still found it hard to believe.
This event even severely damaged the credibility of the President and Song Niannian, with many trolls cursing them online, saying they must have been paid by some unscrupulous businessman.
Until the official media of City No. 10 started a real-time live broadcast…
In the video, Uncle Li Dong said expressionlessly, “Today, I’m here to introduce everybody to the secret of the Knights’ longevity…”
The face of this Knight’s contemporary leader was as dark as it could be, full of reluctance.
He was seen walking slowly to an old man in the video, covering the man’s head with his palm, injecting Knight Vital Energy.
In front of the high-definition camera, the old man’s hair instantly turned from white to gray, and many wrinkles on his skin smoothed out, with his entire complexion rapidly becoming rosy.
Beside the old man was an old lady as a reference to prove that the live broadcast wasn’t beautified.
Uncle Li Dong calmly said to the camera, “The world admires Knights for having a lifespan of up to 251 years. The Knights were even a major target for soul-snatching by the Jindai Consortium because of our Knight Vital Energy, which has longevity capabilities. You know that the only God in the world, Ren Xiaosu, was also a Knight… From now on, anyone who settles in City No. 10 can gain 21 years of life through empowerment. I’m waiting for you in City No. 10…”
Qing Chen watched from the side, grinning broadly, feeling an odd resemblance to watching Chen Baoguo promoting Hongmao Medicinal Wine on TV.
After the broadcast, Qing Chen hurriedly leaned in behind the camera, “Master, you worked hard! Have some water!”
Uncle Li Dong replied grumpily, “You’ve really sold your master’s face for this city!”
“But it does work,” Qing Chen chuckled.
Uncle Li Dong had a point; the average Transcendent lived to about 150, but Knights were absolutely special, and everyone knew the uniqueness of the Knight Organization.
In the past, Knights outlasted opponent after opponent, and every Knight’s lifespan was historically documented.
Moreover, even though Knights were despised by various forces in the Extraordinary World, they had the best reputation among the public of all organizations.
Back then, when Uncle Li Dong chased criminals for a thousand miles to avenge civilians, it was common in the Knight Organization.
So, the public’s image of Knights is of upright heroes.
This is what makes the Fire Pit, Jindai, Deer Island, and Chen Clan so frustrated; they want to expose the true face of Knights, but the public doesn’t believe them at all…
Now, Qing Chen used Uncle Li Dong as his trump card, using the Knights’ millennia-old organizational reputation to vouch for City No. 10, staking everything he could.
Qing Chen smiled and said, “Master, we’re not lying. If I were a health product scammer, I wouldn’t dare invite you to endorse it. We genuinely can extend people’s lives!”
“Cut the crap,” Uncle Li Dong said, “don’t call me for such things in the future.”
“Master, if you talk like that, I have to straighten things out with you,” Qing Chen started counting on his fingers, “Who used me to make money in the Octagon cage back then? Who lied about giving me gifts but then left me with huge debts? When I heard the loan amount, I almost awakened! Also, just tell me when you plan to repay the Taboo debt?”
Uncle Li Dong instantly became pleasant, “I was just speaking offhandedly. Of course, as a master, I have to support my disciple’s career! Absolutely must support it!”
How unlucky!
To be honest, Qing Chen, the Outer World person, underestimated the personal charm that Uncle Li Dong accumulated over the years and the Knights’ reputation.
When Uncle Li Dong endorsed City No. 10, when he mentioned Ren Xiaosu’s name, the entire Federation went crazy.
But it was also at this time that Qing Chen timely released the settlement particulars, pouring cold water on everyone’s excitement.
The settlement particulars informed everyone: It seems settling here isn’t so easy, either.
None of the three settlement conditions were easy to fulfill; one must do their utmost to contribute to City No. 10.
In Qing Chen’s view, if this matter was really accomplished, the Federation would no longer have anything like a Gemini Star, and City No. 10 would stand out as the sole shining gem of the Federation.
