After several days of preparation.

On September 13th of the summer, at the High School of Magic in Nilata City, there was a large auditorium in this school that could accommodate ten thousand people.

Zhou Ming held a product launch conference.

A unique new product launch conference.

In order to successfully organize this press conference, Zhou Ming asked Elder Renaud to use his identity and name as the "Forbidden Curse Mage" to send out invitations and invite celebrities. More than 10,000 invitations were sent out.

As for the invitees, they include hundreds of magicians above the legendary level, members of the royal family of the Waitrose Empire (including Emperor Cyril), some influential nobles, and all the teachers and students of Nilata High School of Magic... All received invitations.

In short, the characteristic of this press conference is one: grand.

Extremely solemn.

Even in order to warm up, Zhou Ming spent a lot of money to place advertisements in prominent positions on the front pages for a month in many newspapers and media in Nilata City.

Finally, after a viral brainwashing bombardment, on September 13th, all important guests entered the auditorium of Nilata High School of Magic.

There are 16,840 seats, all of which are occupied.

The darkness was overwhelming with heads.

In the auditorium, the magic air conditioner has already been turned on, and the magic lights on the top cast a dazzling light.

All the guests present noticed the arrangement on the stage.

It can be described in two words: simple.

Quite crude.

There are no various complicated magic props.

There was only a tripod erected at the front of the empty stage, and behind the stage, a huge rectangular white cloth... There was also some light in the center of the white cloth.

Many guests present had a bad first impression when they saw this arrangement.

This arrangement is too simple and simple, which is a bit inconsistent with their status.

But out of politeness and strong curiosity, they did not choose to leave.

At 6:55 pm, there are only five minutes left before the official start of the press conference.

"brush!"

All the lights in the auditorium suddenly dimmed.

There was a slight commotion.

"What's going on? There's something wrong with the magic lighting system?"

In a dark corner, a ball of white light suddenly lit up - it turned out that a legendary mage had released a first-level light magic [illumination].

Seeing this scene, the staff who were operating the lights at the venue all had black lines... The atmosphere of the rehearsals in the previous two days was suddenly destroyed.

"Don't panic, it's normal. This is normal."

A voice came from a dark corner on the stage.

"Click!"

A beam of light immediately hit the source of the sound.

host.

The audience all looked at the host.

A host dressed very strangely.

He was dressed very casually, with a black crew-neck shirt on his upper body and tight green linen trousers on his lower body. Due to uneven dyeing or excessive washing, there was still some white color.

There was also a black belt around his waist and white sneakers on his feet, which gave an even worse first impression to the nobles present.

Regarding what he was wearing, the first impression most people had was two words: casual.

Very casual.

It seems to be an insult to all those who pursue the ultimate color and complex combination.

An insult given by the lower class to the nobles.

Winnie also appeared at the press conference and sat quite close to the front.

Originally, she didn't want to attend this press conference, and didn't want to see that bastard steal the show... But she came anyway. She was cursing someone in her heart for messing up and making a fool of herself, and even had the intention of causing trouble... For example, she asked a few questions during the Q\u0026A session. His overwhelming questions and more.

"Haha~"

But now there was a sarcastic smile on her lips, and she felt that there was no need to make trouble. Judging from the bastard's clothes, he had already ruined half of the press conference. She could just add insult to injury when all the audience members were gone. .

but……

Zhou Ming on the stage was also aware of his dressing style. The audience was not too cold and even felt offended.

He held the magic microphone and explained: "Please don't pay attention to what I'm wearing."

"My dress is not the key point. This combination does not attract the light." He shrugged, and the audience chuckled.

“And what I’m going to talk about next, as well as the products released, are what deserve everyone’s focus.”

Zhou Ming's few words quickly resolved the embarrassment and diverted the audience's attention.

"First of all, I want to introduce you to a plant, a beautiful plant."

"Its name is - Mandala flower."

"Click~!"

As soon as Zhou Ming answered his words, a strong light shot down from the top of the auditorium and hit the huge rectangular white cloth behind Zhou Ming.

A colorful plant image was suddenly displayed on the white cloth.

Rich colors, high definition and uncensored.

"Wow~" the audience exclaimed.

Various exclamations came.

"That painting looks just like the real thing. How did you do that?"

“So that’s how that piece of white cloth is used.”

"It's amazing! What a magical device!"

Zhou Ming paused for a while and looked at the audience's reaction below. He was a little surprised: Isn't it just a PPT, and the reaction was so big?

Of course, the effect was achieved. As soon as the plant picture appeared in the PPT, the interest of all the viewers immediately increased a lot and they were brought into his rhythm.

So he continued:

"Many people think that the datura flower is a very beautiful plant. It is charming, beautiful, noble and generous. Poets have written many poems praising it..." A widely circulated poem appeared on the PPT.

"The mandala flower is not only beautiful, it also has many uses. Its roots and flowers can be used as medicine. Every spring, the mandala pollen it releases brings good news to countless mages who are stuck in bottlenecks... "A few more pictures of the mandala flower sea were displayed in the PPT.

"The usage of Manluo pollen is very large..." The PPT began to display a large amount of data after authoritative investigation.

"There are a wide range of people who take Mantora pollen. Not only powerful and noble magicians are taking it, but many nobles are also taking it. Even among the people, many workshops use the leaves of the Mantral flower to make tobacco. There are also a large number of people in the middle and lower classes. Civilians are taking it.”

"According to small-scale sampling statistics, in the Waitrose Empire alone, one-third of the magicians are taking high-purity Manlo pollen, about half of the nobles are taking low-purity Manlo pollen, and a tenth Around 100,000 civilians often smoke Manro tobacco... There are about 600 million people in the entire Waitrose Empire consuming these things."

"Also, about one-tenth of the arable land in the Waitrose Empire is planted with datura flowers... creating profits worth trillions of gold coins every year."

"Yes! In these senses, Datura flower is a good thing. It brings a lot of beauty and happiness to people. It promotes economic development. It is said that it can also lose weight and extend the life of ordinary people."

"Hahaha~"

Hearing Zhou Ming's words, many people in the audience laughed out loud and recognized his words very much.

However, Zhou Ming suddenly changed his tone and his tone was very serious:

"But! What I want to say now is that the beautiful mandala flower is a poisonous flower!"

"Manlo pollen, which can bring happiness and improvement to people, is a poison that everyone should stay away from!"

In the PPT, the ugly shape of a bunch of withered mandala flowers suddenly appeared, as well as two big words "poison".

boom!

There was a commotion and uproar in the audience. It was completely unexpected that Zhou Ming, who had been praising the flower for a long time, suddenly started to speak ill of Mandala Flower.

This turn is too sudden!

"Don't be anxious, don't be confused. Please listen to me carefully. I don't mean to speak ill of the mandala flower, but the ten characteristics of the mandala flower that I will tell you next, I believe that in your daily life, you will I’ve definitely seen it with my own eyes!”

On the large PPT screen in the center of the stage, Zhou Ming began to explain the huge impact of mandala flowers on people in a low and serious tone.

First, Manluo pollen has toxic effects on the human body, which manifests as extreme excitement, drowsiness, unresponsiveness, ataxia, hallucinations, delusions, extreme weight loss, disorientation, etc... Zhou Ming gave numerous examples to the PPT, And explain the principles from a medical perspective.

Second, it is addictive. It is extremely addictive. Once addicted, it will be difficult to quit for life... Even the less toxic Manro tobacco cannot be quit.

Third, the impact on mental state.

Fourth, the impact on personal economy.

fifth,……

…,…

Ninth, complete loss of happiness, resulting in a deeper dependence on manlo pollen.

Tenth, the impact on individual life span, a large amount of survey data proves that no matter what class, once exposed to Manlo pollen or Manlo tobacco, life span will generally be shortened by about 30 years, and in some cases it will be shortened by 50 years or even longer... And those about Zhou Ming systematically refuted the idea that smoking Manlo pollen will lead to longevity, and even proposed the concept of "survivor bias", saying that it cannot be concluded that smoking Manlo pollen can prolong life just because there are a few long-lived drug users. Lifespan, this view is too ridiculous!

Finally, Zhou Ming concluded:

"I believe that everyone here should have seen or experienced the ten dangers I have summarized, so I won't describe them in too much detail!"

"If the ten points I mentioned are not enough to explain the dangers of datura flowers and prove that they are poisonous flowers and poisons! Then the press conference I held and what I did for this conference are almost A year of preparation will be meaningless!”

"But I personally firmly believe that Datura flowers are 100% poisonous flowers! Datura pollen is 100% poisonous!"

"Please also ask everyone present to ask your inner selves: Is Datura flower a poisonous flower? Is Datura pollen a poison?"

Boom~

As soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking.

The entire auditorium seemed to have been detonated, falling into a huge commotion and explosion!

Everyone is questioning their own soul!

"Woooooo~ I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Someone hugged his face and cried loudly.

"My beloved husband, please, please stop smoking. It's poison, it's poison that will kill you!" A lady knelt in front of her husband.

"Poison, I have been taking poison, poison that is difficult to quit?" someone murmured to himself.

"It's false. Don't believe him! Everything he said is false!" Some people stood up and refuted loudly. This man has planted millions of acres of datura flowers, how could he allow others to say bad things about datura flowers! He even wanted to send someone to kill the bastard on the stage!

but……

No matter how loud and hoarse the clamor of a handful of people is, most people have to lower their heads in the face of detailed introductions, large amounts of data, scientific analysis and daily common sense.

Some even trembled: "I want to quit drugs, I want to quit this damn Manluo pollen!"

Sitting in the first row, Emperor Cyril of the Waitrose Empire stared at Zhou Ming on the stage with bright eyes: "Over the years, I have been trying to crack down on the Datura flower industry. I have always banned Mandala pollen and Mandala flowers." The idea of ​​​​tobacco has been unable to be implemented. Unexpectedly, this guy's speech actually gave me hope of banning datura flowers..."

At this moment, Wei Ni in the audience was staring at the guy on the stage, her eyes full of astonishment.

She murmured: "This bastard doesn't want his life? Isn't he afraid that after this press conference, his life will be taken away the next day?"

Wei Ni now admires the courage of that bastard. She is not a fool. There are huge interest groups behind the mandala industry. How dare this kid challenge such a huge interest group?

Is he tired of living and doesn't want to live anymore?

She became a little concerned now. After this press conference, under the endless assassination, how many days can that bastard on the stage still be able to dance?
