Chapter 73 2/2

“It will indeed result in a significant loss, but we won’t be operating at a loss. Don’t think that twenty cents is too much. Compared to the reputation we’ve built up during this time, it’s nothing.”

It might even reflect positively on Xingmang Entertainment or other companies.

After finishing the call with the general manager of Fragrant Fragrant Snail, Shengquan made another call to Xingmang, asking the personnel there to arrange and find the management of the selling side.

She still had high hopes for the future development of Fragrant Fragrant Snail. Mainly because, having tasted it herself, based on Shengquan’s taste for snail noodles spanning two lifetimes, this snail noodle factory just needed time to become popular.

And now, due to unforeseen events, it doesn’t even need time.

The phrase put on the general manager of Fragrant Fragrant Snail could also be applied here: It’s really unexpected how things turn out sometimes.

She had manipulated so many promotions herself, and the highest heat was just all over the internet.

But precisely this time, when she did nothing—didn’t buy the hot search, didn’t promote—the heat rose even faster than every previous time.

For example, the time at Xingmang Manor could be considered comprehensive coverage, and it seemed like the heat was high all over the internet. However, most of those joining the celebration were young netizens, and the heat was limited to the online world.

But this time was different. The people of Huaxia had a characteristic. Normally, if something significant happened in a province, other provinces might join in for the excitement, but the attention was not high.

However, once a province experienced a natural disaster like a flood, the eyes of the entire nation would focus on that province. Regardless of age, occupation, rich or poor, people would donate money and supplies, or those without money would follow the progress.

Usually, events occurring during this time would instantly get the highest heat.

Not to mention this time, which was stacked with heat elements.

Helicopters and drones for rescue caught the attention of most young people.

Thirty rescue supplies and a young entrepreneur leading the entire crew to participate in disaster relief attracted the attention of most middle-aged and elderly people.

Emergency hiring of drone enthusiasts to operate five hundred drones in Lucheng, the entire university drone society “mobilizing,” attracted the attention of college students and drone enthusiasts.

Xingmang security guards who followed Shengquan to contribute to disaster relief were all retired soldiers. This not only made the public like them more, but it also made some military units that hadn’t been in contact with Xingmang remember this company.

And the various actions she took after the disaster occurred gained favor and support from the government. The reason there’s no news yet is because the flood relief hasn’t completely ended. When it does, she will probably receive an award.

Not to mention other things; just watching the interview videos of flood relief workers fighting on the front lines, Shengquan could tell that the leaders being interviewed intentionally mentioned her name.

Shengquan was indeed quite sentimental. Now, she finally had time to reflect, although the flood was still ongoing. The most unexpected and chaotic moment had already passed.

【Rescue supplies from all over the country have either arrived or are on their way, and the time gap caused by the sudden disaster has finally eased the demand for scarce resources.】

Shengquan sat on her small stool, found a piece of wood to lie down on, and said casually, “People do get spoiled. Suddenly working around the clock, it’s a bit tough. Let me rest a bit, Jiang Ge; you should take a break too.”

In the past, as a wage slave, she could work continuously at high intensity for a month, relying on the spirit of endurance coffee.

Now, it was only two days of continuous work, with a four-hour nap in between, and she felt incredibly tired and sleepy.

But she was quite content. Other tasks could be delegated to others, but in such matters, Shengquan would rather be a bit tired and handle it herself.

There was no time to go to the tent to sleep. Shengdong found a piece of wood and decided to use it on the spot.

Jiang Lu took off his coat, laid it on the wood, thanked Shengquan with a smile, and quickly entered a sleep state.

He didn’t rest together but stood in front, trying to block light and wind for Shengquan.

Passing rescue personnel, when they saw them from afar, tried to keep their movements as light as possible. Compared to the images and words on the internet, they were truly experiencing how much effort Shengquan was putting into helping with the rescue.

Let alone other things, just the hot soup cooked in the big pot and the fleets of mobile shower cars that arrived were tangible contributions.

They were currently without internet access.

If they had time to go online, many of these rescue personnel would definitely express their real feelings, letting more people know that Shengquan deserved more praise.

Maybe it was because she was too tired, or maybe the passing people were trying to keep quiet, but even though Shengquan had only slept for half an hour, she still slept soundly.

After waking up from a nap, Shengdong was full of energy.

She sat up, stretched lazily, and looked at the time. “Let’s go; check if the batch of medical equipment is about to arrive.”

This batch of medical equipment wasn’t purchased by her. Her small treasury had been used for a lot of expenses, and currently, she couldn’t afford those expensive medical devices.

But the prize pool had opened.

Shengquan successfully drew many valuable medical-related devices, including even a large mobile medical vehicle.

This vehicle was probably the most expensive prize in the pool. Although it was a vehicle, its interior provided a perfect medical environment in outdoor conditions. In other words, it came with a lot of expensive medical devices.

It had to be said that since the system lifted various restrictions, enjoyment had indeed doubled.

After the disaster relief, Shengquan planned to incorporate these expensive medical vehicles and devices into the shooting. It would allow the audience to feel the shock she experienced when she saw them.

When she received them, the medical staff were truly amazed.

“Is this equipment expensive? Is it new?”

“Is this a medical vehicle? Let me go up and take a look. Oh my god, Director, come and see!”

They already knew that Shengquan had contributed a lot of medicine and continued to purchase and transport it here. However, they never expected her to buy so many medical devices.

Everyone looked at Shengquan with admiration.

How much money did this cost?

Shengquan: I didn’t expect it, right? I didn’t either.

She originally thought that the prize pool might offer medicines or other rescue supplies. The interval between draws wasn’t long, so she didn’t expect to get so many expensive devices.

Only one thing could be said: 006 made a great contribution.

When the disaster relief was almost over and the resources were gradually arriving, the relief efforts entered a well-organized stage. The trapped individuals had been mostly rescued, and the drone squadron could finally disband.

At the parting moment, the drone enthusiasts could be described as reluctant to leave.

Maybe for them, playing with drones was just a hobby that was sometimes not understood by those around them.

But from now on, they could proudly say, “I’ve used drones to save lives too.”

When the disaster relief was basically over, the large props of the crew, which had been active only in the military rest area, began to leave.

They arrived at night when it was busiest; almost everywhere was transporting relief supplies, or large trucks were coming in. Naturally, it didn’t attract much attention.

Later, they stayed hidden in the rear, working diligently. In that situation, even if someone saw them, they wouldn’t have the time to take out their phones and shoot or upload it.

And now, the disaster relief was almost over, and everyone had free time.

A clear video recording of them appeared on the internet, revealing these hidden, large props.

When the giant, futuristic-designed mechanical vehicles and the mechanical dogs walking in the sandy soil appeared before everyone, they were stunned.

The cool and futuristic appearance filled with technology and the future made people unable to help but open their minds.

Everyone’s first reaction was, “Is this real or fake?”

If it’s fake, it’s too real.

If it’s real…

Isn’t this the heartwarming disaster relief channel? Why did it suddenly become science fiction?

Some staff came out to clarify, “Everyone, don’t misunderstand. These are all props provided by the ‘Interstellar Battle’ crew, used to complement the shooting of the rescue.”

【Netizens: “???”]

Looking at these mechanical arms, then the robotic dogs, and finally the life-saving robots

You’re telling us… These things are props?
