"Why not simply spend 1,000 headline points to buy a control talisman?"
Yu Lei pondered whether this choice would be cost-effective but decided it was not worth it after some consideration.
He needed to save up 150,000 headline points to exchange for a Qi-Raising Talisman, which would help him advance to the later stages of Qi-Controlling.
In his previous attempts to obtain news clues, he had spent many headline points to exchange for control talismans and memory talismans to manipulate the news subjects. Unfortunately, once the news was reported, the response was lukewarm, like throwing a stone into the sea—hardly making a splash.
Not making the news headlines meant the system points were wasted, which pained him for a long time.
Hot searches are something that celebrities and marketing companies can easily achieve with some money, but his system did not work that way; it required genuinely completing tasks. Sometimes, his own miscalculations could also lead to failure.
