Chapter 665 A Special Press Conference
After several days of preparation.

On September 9th, Xia Sui, at the Higher Magic Academy in Nirata City, in a large auditorium that can accommodate ten thousand people.

Zhou Ming held a product launch event.

A new product launch event.

In order to hold this press conference well, Zhou Ming asked Elder Reynolds to use his identity and name as "Forbidden Curse Mage" to spread invitations and invite celebrities widely, sending out more than 1 invitations.

As for the invited guests, 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 in the Nirata Advanced Magic Academy... All are invited.

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

Extremely grand.

Even in order to warm up in the early stage, Zhou Ming spent a lot of money in many newspapers and media in Nirata City, and placed advertisements in prominent positions on the front page for a month.

Finally, after a viral brainwashing bombardment, on September 9th, all the important guests entered the auditorium of the Nirata Higher School of Magic.

There are 16840 seats, all of which are packed.

There was a mass of black heads.

In the auditorium, the magic air conditioner has already been turned on, and the magic lights on the top are shining brightly.

All the guests present noticed the arrangement on the stage.

It can be described in two words: simple.

Quite crude.

There are no various and complicated magic props.

There is only a tripod erected at the front of the empty stage, and behind the stage, a huge rectangular white cloth... In the center of the white cloth, there are some lights.

When many guests present saw this arrangement, their first impressions were not very good.

This layout is really too simple, and the simplicity does not match their status.

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

At 6:55 p.m., there were only 5 minutes left before the press conference officially started.

"brush!"

The lights in the auditorium suddenly went dark.

Suddenly 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 released a first-level light magic [Illumination].

Seeing this scene, the staff who were operating the lights at the venue were all black... The atmosphere effect of the rehearsal two days ago was destroyed in one fell swoop.

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

From a dark corner on the stage, a voice came out.

"Crack!"

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

host.

The audience all looked at the host.

A very weird host.

He was dressed very casually, with a black round neck shirt on his upper body and tight blue linen pants on his lower body. Due to uneven dyeing or excessive washing, there was still some white.

There is also the black belt around the waist and the white sneakers under the feet, which gave the nobles present a very bad first impression.

For his outfit, most people's first impression is two words: casual.

Very casual.

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

An insult to nobles by inferior people.

Winnie also appeared in this press conference, and sat in a quite front position.

Originally, she didn't want to attend this press conference, and didn't want to see that bastard show off... But she still came, and she cursed someone in her heart for messing up and making a fool of herself, and she even wanted to make trouble... For example, during the questioning session, she asked some His overwhelmed questions and more.

"Hehe~"

But now there is a sneer at the corner of her mouth, she feels that there is no need for her to make trouble, judging from the bastard's clothes, he has already messed up half of the press conference, and when all the audience is gone, she can just make trouble .

but……

Zhou Ming on the stage was also aware of his dressing style, and the audience didn't catch a cold, and even felt offended.

Holding the magic microphone, he explained: "Please don't pay attention to my clothes."

"My clothes are not the point, this kind of matching does not attract the lights." He shrugged, and there was a chuckle from the audience.

"And what I'm going to talk about next, as well as the products released, are what deserve everyone's attention."

These few words of Zhou Ming quickly resolved the embarrassment and diverted the attention of the audience.

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

"Its name is - Datura flower."

"Crack~!"

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

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

Rich colors and high definition.

"Wow~" the audience exclaimed.

All kinds of exclamations came.

"That painting looks like the real thing, how did you do that?"

"That's how the white cloth was used."

"It's amazing! Fantastic magic device!"

Zhou Ming paused for a while, looked at the audience's reaction below, and was a little surprised: Isn't it just a PPT, so the reaction is so big?
Of course, the effect has also been achieved. When the picture of the plant picture in the PPT appeared, the interest of all the audience immediately increased a lot, and they were brought into his rhythm.

So he continued:

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

"The mandala flower is not only beautiful, but also has many uses. Its rhizomes 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 mandala flowers were displayed in the PPT.

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

"Mandala pollen is widely used, not only by powerful and noble magicians, but also by many nobles. Even among the people, many workshops use the tobacco made from the leaves of Datura flowers, and there are also a large number of middle and lower classes. Civilians are smoking."

"According to small-scale sampling statistics, only in the Waitrose Empire, one-third of the magicians are taking high-purity Manlo pollen, about half of the nobles are taking low-purity Manlo pollen, and one-tenth About one or so civilians often smoke Manlo tobacco... There are about 6 million people in the entire Waitrose Empire consuming these things."

"And within the Waitrose Empire, about one-tenth of the arable land is planted with Datura flowers...creating trillions of gold coins every year."

"That's right! In these senses, datura is a good thing. It brings people a lot of beauty and happiness. It promotes economic development. It is said that it can also lose weight and prolong the life of ordinary people."

"Hahaha~"

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

But then, Zhou Ming's tone suddenly changed, and his tone was very serious:

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

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

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

boom!
There was commotion and uproar in the audience. Zhou Ming, who had just praised for a long time, suddenly started to speak ill of Datura flowers.

This turning point is too sudden!
"Everyone, don't worry, don't be confused. Please listen to me carefully. I don't mean to say bad things about Datura flowers, but the ten characteristics of Datura flowers I will describe next, I believe that in daily life, everyone Definitely saw it with my own eyes!"

On the large PPT screen in the center of the stage, Zhou Ming began to explain the great influence of Datura flower on people in a low and serious tone.

First, manlo pollen has a toxic effect on the human body, which is manifested in extreme hyperactivity, lethargy, unresponsiveness, movement disorders, hallucinations, delusions, weight loss, disorientation, etc... Zhou Ming gave a lot of examples to the PPT, And from the medical aspect, explain the principle.

Second, addictive, extremely addictive, once addicted, it is difficult to quit for a lifetime... Even the less toxic manlo tobacco cannot be quit.

Third, the impact on the mental state.

Fourth, the impact on personal economy.

fifth,……

……,……

Ninth, completely lose happiness, and thus become more dependent on manlo pollen.

Tenth, the impact on the life span of individuals. A large number of survey data prove that no matter what class, once exposed to manlo pollen or manlo tobacco, life expectancy will generally be shortened by about 30 years, and some 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 smoking manlo pollen can not be assumed to prolong life just because of a few drug users with longer life spans. Lifespan, this point of view is too absurd!

Finally, Zhou Ming concluded:

"I believe that everyone here should have seen or experienced the ten hazards I have summarized. I will not describe them too much!"

"If the ten points I said are not enough to explain the dangers of Datura flower, and it cannot prove that it is a poisonous flower and poison! Then the press conference I held, I did almost everything for this conference. A year of preparation will be meaningless!"

"But I personally firmly believe that the Datura flower is [-]% a poisonous flower! Datura pollen is [-]% a poison!"

"Everyone here, please ask your inner self: Is Datura flower a poisonous flower? Datura pollen, is it a poison?"

Boom~
Zhou Ming finished speaking.

The entire auditorium, as if it had been detonated, fell into a huge commotion and a bang!

Everyone is torturing their souls!

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

"My beloved husband, please, please don't smoke any more, it's poison, it's poison that will kill you!" A lady knelt down in front of her husband.

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

"Fake, everyone, don't believe him! What he said is all false!" Someone also stood up and refuted it loudly. How could this person allow others to speak ill of Datura flowers after he had planted millions of acres of Datura flowers!He even wanted to send someone to kill that bastard on stage!
but……

No matter how loudly and how hoarsely a few people clamor, most people have to lower their heads in the face of detailed introductions, a large amount of data, scientific analysis and common sense.

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

Sitting in the first row, Cyril, the Emperor of the Waitrose Empire, stared at Zhou Ming on the stage with bright eyes: "Over the years, I have always wanted to crack down on the mandala flower industry, and have always banned mandala pollen, mandala flowers, etc. The idea of ​​tobacco has been unable to be implemented, but I didn't expect this kid's speech to let me see the hope of banning Datura flowers..."

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

She murmured, "This bastard is going to die? Isn't he afraid that someone will take his life the next day after this press conference is over?"

Winnie now admires that bastard's courage. She is not a fool. Behind the Datura flower industry, there is an enormous interest group. How dare this kid challenge such a huge interest group?
Is he tired of living and doesn't want to live anymore?
Now she is a little concerned. After this press conference is over, under the endless assassination, how many days will that bastard on the stage be able to dance?
