Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Qianjia News, Chief Editor Mei, who had been watching the evening news alone in his office, stood up and rushed out of the room as soon as the news broadcast ended. He yelled at his subordinates working outside, "Follow me!"
Almost immediately, all the employees on that floor of the building sprang into action, with the sound of typing, ringing phones, and conversations filling the air.
In every corner of Qianjia News, articles and videos analyzing and exploring the "prophets" were being dug up and analyzed by various "prophets" as they worked. In an instant, countless users who had downloaded the Qianjia news client on their phones, tablets, and computers, as well as those who followed Qianjia's media accounts, received the push notifications.
The entire network was saturated with coverage, reaching millions of users across the Daxia Prefecture.
At the same time, at the headquarters of the Huoxian Group, CEO Zhang also stood up abruptly from his office chair and shouted, "News Department, release the article! Operations Department, redirect all traffic! New Media Department, push it hard! Every terminal under the Huoxian Group must have a direct link to these news reports, as well as a cover push notification!"
With his series of commands, every user of Huoxian Group products, including many who were not even using news applications, received the push notifications in real-time. This saturation-style push was more effective than just simply covering the network, causing a wave of reposts on the Internet and reaching hundreds of millions of Daxia Prefecture users through word of mouth.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Dadao Group, CEO Ma went even further, saying, "No matter what type of app it is, push today's news to all of them. Notify the technical department that anyone who reads the news report can receive a half-price coupon of any category, and sharing and forwarding coupons will receive an additional discount! Also, change the title to 'The Prophets Clear Your Shopping Cart!'"
Ma was truly a businessman at heart, and his wave-pushing strategy was even more effective than saturation-style push notifications. In an instant, at least tens of millions of people in the Daxia Prefecture could not resist clicking on the news push notifications. Then, they were deeply attracted by the content inside.
People who were working stopped what they were doing and began to carefully read the news reports. Even young people who were playing games stopped their actions and began to read the content of the push notifications. Countless geological research institutions and many geologists who were interested in earthquake research also put down their research to read the concise yet informative news reports. Then, they frantically searched online for information about the "prophets" and their prediction of the earthquake and tsunami in Elfa City.
At this moment, the entire Daxia Prefecture was in a frenzy. However, there was also a profound silence. The news media were ecstatic, but everyone who read the news was silent. At this moment, everyone's mind was filled with one word: "Prophets!" Tonight, he was the "superstar" shining brightly on the entire network. Tonight, he was the unique protagonist of the entire network, with no equal!
On the other hand, with the vigorous promotion and overwhelming publicity of Daxia Prefecture and the top internet media, many small media and individual self-media were also stirred up.
For a while, there appeared a large wave of follow-up reports analyzing and exploring various aspects of the "prophet" that had been hidden in the corners of the internet, all of which were uncovered by "interested parties" and made public.
Even Wu Li himself, who had been staunchly supporting the "prophet" on the internet and seemed to know a lot about the "prophet's" deeds, was interviewed live by journalists from "Qianjia" news.
At first, when asked by the reporter, Wu Li was a little confused and even candidly said, "I am just an ordinary teacher in the civil engineering department of Donghai University. To be honest, I really know very little about the 'prophet'."
When the reporter asked Wu Li how he became a fan of the "prophet," Wu Li spoke fluently, "I first came into contact with the 'prophet' on the Donghai People's Forum."
Pausing for a moment, Wu Li's teacher's habit came out, feeling the need to explain, "Oh, the Donghai People's Forum is a local forum in Donghai City, mainly for local people. If outsiders are interested, they can check it out for themselves."
"Okay, enough digression. Let's get back on track," Wu Li continued. "At that time, the 'prophet' used his real name account to post a thread predicting the collapse of the South Lake Tunnel in Donghai City."
"At that time, like many others, I thought it was just a clown trying to attract attention."
"Later on, the section of road that the Donghai City South Lake Tunnel prophet predicted actually collapsed at the time the prophet predicted, and my whole family was saved because of the prophet's prediction. From that time on, I became his fan."
When the reporter heard this, he interrupted Wu Li with a cry of surprise, "So you mean the event of the South Lake Tunnel collapse predicted by the 'prophet' circulating on the internet is true?"
Without hesitation, Wu Li replied, "It's definitely true. I was there at the scene and saw it with my own eyes."
"However, at that time, it may have been too mystical, so the news was completely blocked on the internet."
"I guess if you search for it now, some related keywords are still being blocked."
As he spoke, the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded.
"Well, I just tried it out and it's true. When you enter related keywords, it shows content related to sensitive issues and won't show it..."
"What a great prophet!"
"The 'prophet' is really awesome!"
"I'm a fan now!"
Looking at these barrage messages, Wu Li continued, "After that, the 'prophet' began to publicly predict the outcome of this year's Dafu Cup on 'Qianjia' after predicting the collapse of the South Lake Tunnel in Donghai City."
"And I myself was the first lucky fan to win the 'prophet's' lottery on 'Qianjia'. Since I became a fan of the 'prophet', I feel particularly lucky!"
As the barrage messages continued to pour in, Wu Li's face was full of smiles.
"He must have made a lot of money. He's so happy."
"The 'prophet' must be laughing his head off when he sees him like this."
"Really, this fan is so genuine!"
More barrage messages expressed a sense of regret.
"I never followed such a treasure blogger before?"
"Ah, it hurts so much. I feel like I missed out on a fortune!"
"I am a senior football enthusiast and had heard of the 'prophet' long ago, but I never took it seriously. Looking back now, I feel a bit foolish!"
"There was once a chance to get rich in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I'm really crying in the bathroom!"
"Boo-hoo! +1..."
"I won't say any more. I missed so many opportunities. I have to go and follow the 'prophet's' 'Qianjia' account now!"
"Team up and follow +1..."
This is only a small part of the barrage messages. At this moment, more people are frantically rushing to the "prophet's" "Qianjia" account on the internet.
As a result, every time someone stops at the "prophet's" "Qianjia" account, they are surprised to find that the number of followers of the "prophet's" account is skyrocketing at a rocket-like speed.
Nine million two hundred thousand...
Nine million three hundred thousand...
...
Nine million seven hundred and seventy thousand...
...
Every time they refresh, they can see a significant increase in the number of followers.
Moreover, the speed of increase is getting faster and faster.
Not only that, but this wave of growth in followers has also led to an increase in all of the "Qianjia" account's data, including likes, shares, and comments, which are all exploding.
The most common comments are expressions of amazement from everyone!
At this point, it seems that the entire internet in Daxia Prefecture is talking about the "prophet" and nothing else.
However, just as the entire internet was discussing the "prophet," some of the "prophet's" believers and die-hard fans realized some important issues.
"Where is the 'prophet'?"
"Today, Daxia Prefecture's news broke the norm and reported on the 'prophet,' and everyone's attention is focused on him. Why hasn't the 'prophet' made any moves yet?"
"Not only has he not made any moves, but he hasn't even been on his 'Qianjia' account. Has he not even gone online?"
"What is the 'prophet' doing?"
"By the way, when can we see the 'prophet's' face?"
"Curious +1..."
