382 My Score Was 30 For the College Entrance Examination. Have I Ever Felt Smug About This?!

Tian Du City.

Sword Card Master Association.

Zhang Yang was lounging and sitting in the conference room.

“This doesn’t seem too appropriate?”

Li Haoran felt somewhat worried.

He felt that this kind of slogan was not good.

It is such a fraud! Master has top-notch talent and is so good looking. In what way is he a loser!?

After all…

With Master’s talent, he could easily get into The First Academy.

Look, Master has already beaten the students in The First Academy to a pulp! Obviously, Master didn’t want to go to The First Academy because he didn’t want to waste a quota.

He is so kind.

As to Master being a one-star loser…

That is even more nonsensical.

Zhang Yang had brought along Lu Ming’s past information from the Card Creators Association when he came over. Master had even received a powerful series of honors… these were his achievements!

“Let me ask you.”

Zhang Yang sighed. “Do you think the affiliated college at the crossroads has the capability to nurture the incoming students to become truly formidable characters?”

“Yes!”

Li Haoran was very confident.

This was the baseline of their recruitment!

Due to talent constraints, they could not recruit too many people! Coupled with problems with the number of teachers and so on, they were recruiting college students so that they could join the Sword Card Master Association in the future!

You could understand them as — the third generation of disciples!

Therefore…

They would certainly treat each student very seriously!

“That’s right then.”

Zhang Yang felt grateful. “s are always filled with half-truths. The important thing is that we have to fulfill our promise to the students.”

“Oh.”

Li Haoran seemed to be slightly enlightened.

He knew management studies at the back of his hand now. However, he was still lacking in terms of publicity knowledge. The pros of adding Senior Zhang Yang to the team outweighed the cons.

“But we don’t have that much of an ad budget.”

Li Haoran felt very worried.

This time, their opponents were the various established associations!

Each association was now in full swing in their public activities. If their publicity budget was slightly lower, they would be drowned out by the s of the various associations.

“Calm down.”

Zhang Yang looked calm. “Associations who rely on publicity to stay afloat are the ones who publish fake news to deceive other people! True publicity never requires such s!”

“Really?”

Li Haoran was doubtful.

How are they going to promote themselves without advertising?

“Don’t worry.

“Leave this to me!”

Zhang Yang was full of confidence.

Hence…

Zhang Yang launched his own publicity plan very soon: Maximize publicity at the least cost!

Afterward…

He just needed to sit and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

After Zhang Yang finished his work, he went for lunch.

He was very satisfied with his recent daily life. When the millennium legacy occurred, Qing Ming City had gone through a major transformation and he was very fortunate to be able to make use of the aura to reach five-star!

Henceforth…

He had become a five-star Card Creator!

Of course, most importantly, the article about the cultivator with humble origins had widened his horizons. He found out that there were many fools in the world. The numbers were not even enough for fraudsters to swindle…

Hence…

He took a different path.

Well… Publicity!

Therefore, when he saw that the Sword Card Master Association was recruiting people, he joined them without any hesitation. This was the course of events which led him to become the publicity manager!

He believed that the Sword Card Master Association would be made known to everyone through his hard work!

“Eh?”

He suddenly paused in his tracks.

Just as he walked to the entrance of the association, he saw a security guard in black squatting in the corner, seemingly reciting something. This figure…

“Friend, have we met somewhere?”

Zhang Yang felt puzzled.

“No! Impossible! I’ve never bashed you before!” the teenager in black denied.

“Really?”

Zhang Yang scratched his head.

That seemed true. This was not Qing Ming City and he had just arrived in Tian Du City. How could he possibly encounter people that he knew! Therefore, he shook his head and left.

The teenager in black wiped his cold sweat.

He had had the fright of his life!

Why is Zhang Yang here?!

Must be freaking kidding me?!

Fortunately…

Zhang Yang had not seen what he looked like!

True enough.

He could not do such things too many times. Otherwise, he would be frightened to death if he were to run into customers outside. Nevertheless, just at this moment, his wristband suddenly vibrated.

Eh?

The teenager in black took a glance and his eyes widened instantly.

This…

At this very moment…

Tian Du City.

With the launch of Zhang Yang’s publicity plan, an article titled “How A Retarded Child Who Scored 64 Marks in His College Entrance Examination Became an Association President!” had gone viral in his circle of friends…

Student Lu Ming entered the view of the public again.

This phase was very special.

The students had just finished taking their college entrance examination and were very concerned about their future!

Which vocation should they choose?

Which way should they go?

Which school should they choose?

Minimum passing score!

Minimum admission score!

The internet was filled with related questions!

Therefore, at this moment, such special headlines and content went viral instantly and dashed into the views of the public!

In the article, there was a detailed elaboration on how a ‘retarded’ child who scored 64 marks had trouble surviving in life because of his low intellect and what happened after he joined the college at the crossroads…

In the end…

He became a dignified association president!

He even introduced how this association vanquished the Swordsman Association and created a legend during the recent on-campus job fair at The First Academy!

Everyone gasped upon reading it.

“It’s so inspiring!!”

“Oh my goodness!”

“Sob… I feel some hope after reading this.”

“Although I can’t get into The First Academy, I can accept you guys as disciples. How domineering!”

“As long as one doesn’t give up, there is hope in life!”

“I’m going to forward this article once a day!”

“This association…”

Everyone was shocked.

It turns out that such a genius exists in this world?!

It turns out that…

Diligence truly exists!

Yes!

If there is a will, there is a way?!

Hence…

Lu Ming became famous overnight.

He was even more popular than times when Fruit Ninja was popular!

The Sword Card Master Association had already made all the necessary preparations!

However, Lu Ming’s recipe for success gradually developed into something strange and mysterious which was completely different from their imagination.

For example…

A certain Pharmacist’s circle of friends.

Someone said, “How annoying! People send cultivation elixirs to their circle of friends everyday!

“I’ve blacklisted all of them!”

“Actually, you don’t need to be bothered. Lu Ming once said: When you discover that you can’t afford to buy the cultivation elixirs in your circle of friends, you should begin to strive for success!!

The shrewd ones saw the information from their circle of friends as a business opportunity!

The tycoons saw the information from their circle of friends as a way to elevate their cultivation level!

Only the losers saw the information from their circle of friends as s!

Another example was—

A certain promoter of an association.

“Don’t ask me which level you can reach after joining our association!!!

“When you ask me this question, your thoughts are still in the stage of working hard for other people. You have to ask yourself which level you want to achieve!!!

“Where there is a will, there is a way!

“Lu Ming can become a president even though he only scored 64 points. What else is possible?!”

Of course.

It was fine if things ended here.

As people became more familiar with the Sword Card Master Association and its various disciples, they came up with brand new versions.

For example…

A certain for a lottery company.

If you rely on your parents, you will at most be like Zhao Yunshan!

If you rely on your sister, you will at most be like Yan Suqi!

If you rely on yourself, you will be the next Lu Ming!

Friends! Don’t miss the paths that you have tread on! Diligence is very important but so are resources! In the past, Lu Ming bought a lottery ticket by the road and then began on his journey of retaliation!

Zhao Yunshan’s expression was very ugly.

Yan Suqi’s expression was filled with murderous intent.

Lu Ming looked like he was about to kill someone.

Damn it!

This is too much!

What kind of publicity is this?!

“Get this person to come out!” Zhao Yunshan said coldly.

“Okay.”

Smiling bitterly, Li Haoran went to look for someone. After a long time, there was a creaking sound and Li Haoran pushed out Zhang Yang, who was seated on a wheelchair and in a cast…

Everyone had a look of confusion on their faces.

“He has created huge trouble with his words.”

Zhang Yang said furiously, “He acually struck mi at de steambot shopp, he iz too moch!”

“What?”

Everyone looked confused.

Cough, cough.

Li Haoran coughed. “According to the surveillance cameras, Manager Zhang Yang was given a round of bashings at the steamboat shop during lunch. That’s what happened!”

“Has the culprit been found?”

“No.”

“Is it that difficult to do so?”

“First, the other party did not have an energy aura. Second, he did not reveal his looks. Third, he was swift in his action and has very good concealment skills. Fourth, he is well aware of Zhang Yang’s habits. Tian Du City’s police are very certain that the other party is very familiar with this and has committed such crimes many times…”

Li Haoran went on to say.

At this point in his speech, he was wearing a strange expression.

Everyone was silent.

Multiple offenses?

Hence…

Zhang Yang went to assist with the investigations…

Cough, cough.

Lu Ming coughed and glanced at Li Haoran. Li Haoran looked very guilty. “Master…”

“It’s him, right?” Lu Ming said in a low voice.

“Yes.”

Li Haoran felt guilty.

Who else could it be?!

“I’ll educate him.”

Li Haoran felt very ashamed. He should have been a manager with a clear distinction between work and private matters. However, when the policemen had come there to inquire, he pretended that he did not know anything!

Therefore, the policemen could not find anything!

“I’m sorry.”

Li Haoran lowered his head.

“It’s okay,”

Lu Ming took a glance at him. “When the police come again, remember to hide this properly.”

“Huh?”

Li Haoran was instantly grateful and touched.

Master…

True enough, Master treats me excellently!!!

“Prepare yourself for the publicity.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

The situation had been developing better than he expected. Well… Why did he have to protect that silly child? This was because he had published the mission to beat up Zhang Yang…

→_→

Zhang Yang is very annoying!

He vaguely remembered that he, Lu Ming, was the Prince Charming of Qing Ming City!!!

Prince Charming?!

He even had his own fan club!

But, look at the outcome!

After Zhang Yang had meddled around, he now had a moronic image…

Could he not feel angry?!

Therefore…

Cough.

He casually sent a mission to the teenager in black. He did not expect this guy to be that swift in his actions. He was an Assassin, indeed! The child had a great future…

The campaign ended with Zhang Yang’s departure.

However…

That article spread on the Internet and the popularity of the crossroads college and Sword Card Master Association were increasing day by day. The official website even crashed at one point in time due to the high number of visitors!

The Sword Card Master Association and the affiliated crossroads college were truly known to everyone now!

The various colleges were very calm about this.

The crossroads college was a branch of the Sword Card Master. Furthermore, they had limited resources and could not recruit that many people. Therefore, they were not worried at all!

More than 10 million people took the college entrance examination!

How many students could they accept?!

Besides…

The affiliated college mainly focused on two things – swords and cards. They did not teach other things. Therefore, the various established colleges could not be bothered with it.

In fact…

Regardless of the year of enrollment, affiliated colleges were the first to fulfill their quotas. This was because joining the affiliated colleges was equivalent to getting an entry pass to the various associations!

90% of them would become association disciples in the future!

Therefore…

The various affiliated colleges in Tian Du City could not sit well with this!

Especially—

Those who had come into contact with Lu Ming at The First Academy!

They had more understanding of Lu Ming’s Sword Card Master Association. If this guy were to take action, he would most likely poach all the best talents!

“Hurry!

“We have to launch our student enrollment plan too!”

“Regardless of which schools these geniuses go to, we must not let them join the crossroads college!”

“You can rest assured!

“This is not an on-campus job fair which only allows disciples to take action. We’re not afraid of him!”

One by one, the associations expressed their views.

However…

They spent a huge sum of money on s but they had very little effect.

Just at this moment, people discovered that, with the developments of the internet, this world had entered an era of internet celebrities and influencers.

Conventional means of publicity were no longer effective.

Hot and trending topics!

Attracting the eyeballs!

People would only take notice when these occurred.

“What should we do?!”

“Is Lu Ming the only one who can catch people’s attention?! Humph! We’ll do that too! I only scored 30 points on the college entrance examination many years ago. Did I ever act smug because of that?! What’s there to be smug about for 64 points?!”

“Calm down!

“Principal, calm down!”

One by one, the disciples held onto the presidents of their affiliated college.

What a joke!

Lu Ming scored 64 points because he was young and good-looking and everyone knew how powerful he was. You’re a dignified college president but you only scored 30 points. No wonder no one dares to join us anymore?

Furthermore…

What is the point of comparing who is a greater loser?!

“It’s not necessary for us to compare who is more miserable!”

“Although Lu Ming gained popularity because of this, this has caused a great impact on his image. We should not follow suit. We can work on other aspects!”

Hence…

The various affiliated colleges of the associations began to launch their ‘Internet Celebrity Publicity Programme’.

The big shots of the affiliated college of the Elementalist Association went to various forests and parks and performed the powerful Flaming Dragon Devouring Sun for students who were passing by!

The flaming dragon shrouded countless six-star living creatures and culminated in an alfresco barbecue event.

Of course.

The city’s urban management fined this big shot more than ten million yuan for ‘damaging the greenery’.

Somewhere.

The big shot of the affiliated college of the Swordsman Association performed the swallowing of a huge sword with his mouth… He swallowed the 20 meters sword which had stood towering outside Tian Du City for more than 10 years!

This caused tremors in Tian Du City!

Somewhere.

The third affiliated college of the Energy Warriors Association branch in Tian Du City took action and shattered a huge mountain with his chest…

This rocked the entire world!
