Chapter 161: No matter how much you blow, it's all for the sake of making wedding clothes
"After Roaring Sky Dog appeared, the role-playing points really went up."
"The shock value is no less than the previous Renton incident. This is really unexpected."
But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Feng didn't find it too surprising.
As a media powerhouse, the United States is much better at manipulating the media and controlling public opinion than China. Their media matrix and means of publicity are much more professional and orderly than those of China's wildly growing media.
Therefore, although the scale of the events and the strength displayed are completely different between Howling Dog's handling of Hydra's minions and Yang Jian's turning the tide in Renton, the American media has the ability to exaggerate the two events to the same level, and strive to make everyone think that Howling Dog and Yang Jian are at the same level.
Oh, now they named Roaring Sky Dog the Giant Dog God.
Thanks to their hard work and publicity, this incident swept the world in just half a day. Everyone knew about this giant dog that suddenly appeared in the sky above the United States and was called the national guardian by the US government.
The benefits behind this can be seen from the rapidly increasing role-playing points and shock values in the system.
In just one night, the harvest was already half of the entire Renton incident.
They'd better work harder to keep the heat on this matter going a little longer.
The United States did not disappoint Lin Feng.
Not only did the central government and state governments issue corresponding official tweets, but media giants also cooperated overnight to report the scene of the dog swallowing the sun as the front-page headline in traditional print media and Internet streaming media.
Things are escalating, and even the Chinese are getting restless.
Some government officials asked for Lin Feng's cell phone number, wanting to ask him privately whether he knew the origin of this so-called giant dog god?
Reporters from CCTV, many TV stations and various online platforms also contacted Lin Feng.
Even Professor Fang Min couldn't help but send him a WeChat message, asking him the question indirectly.
Lin Feng did not answer anyone's questions, but allowed the CCTV reporter to connect with him temporarily.
CCTV reporter Bing Bing, with her usual sweet smile, got straight to the point: "The . recently had a strange phenomenon of a giant dog eclipsing the sun. The new . president claimed that it was the patron saint of the . I wonder what Professor Lin Feng thinks of this. Do you know the origin of the so-called giant dog god?"
"Of course I know." Lin Feng nodded with a slight smile, "Its name is not the Giant Dog God, and it is definitely not the patron saint of the United States. As for its specific origin, I don't plan to reveal it now, but will announce it to everyone at the new press conference next Tuesday."
Bingbing raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Professor Lin, are you going to keep us in suspense?"
"Even so."
Right now the shock level is still rising sharply, and the American media has only exerted less than 30% of its power.
If they were to directly reveal the origin of Roaring Sky Dog at this time, would they still be able to publicize it so loudly?
Hiding the truth for the time being, letting them work hard for you, and when the shock value is basically harvested, then revealing the truth, the Americans will be angry and can only fuss and stare helplessly. And other people in the world will become interested in Roaring Sky Dog again because of this huge reversal, causing a second wave of shock value.
Lin Feng was calculating very quickly and had several plans in mind.
……
Unlike Lin Feng's slow pace, the United States held a press conference that evening.
The representative spokesperson who attended the press conference was a congresswoman who was famous for her blonde beauty.
She also got straight to the point. "Today, on behalf of all the top leaders of the United States, I announce to the world that we in the United States also have a god of our own. Maybe not just one, but this is the first god to appear before everyone. That is our giant dog god..."
"As the patron saint of the United States, it showed an unrivaled attitude as soon as it appeared on the scene, and even swallowed the sun in one gulp, which undoubtedly proved its strength..."
A reporter from the US media asked: "Have the US officials figured out how powerful the Giant Dog God is? Compared to the Chinese gods, who do you think is more powerful?"
The representative smiled and said, "For now, this question cannot be answered. Because no one knows whether the giant dog god used his full strength in the Washington incident. In the Renton incident, the god from China seemed to have tried his best. Before we have more data on both sides, I think all discussions on this issue should be cautious."
This statement was flawless, and although it looked humble, it was actually secretly insulting Yang Jian.
The reporters from China present all frowned slightly.
After the representative finished saying these flawless words, he continued.
"Of course, as an American, I naturally believe that our American gods are the most powerful in the world."
"This incident did not allow the Giant Dog God to exert its full power, but I believe that this god will not only appear once. We still have a long time to explore its potential."
"No matter what, the Giant Dog God is the patron saint of our country! He is the pride of all of us!"
Her tone became more and more excited, and finally she raised her fist high.
This gesture was immediately spread through the media to the eyes of all the Americans watching. Many people were immediately infected and inspired. They also raised their fists high and shouted "Long live the giant dog god!"
The Chinese reporter who was interviewing on the spot was much calmer. He raised his hand and asked a question.
"I would like to ask how the US government confirmed the existence of this giant dog god? In what era was the giant dog god active? What was its origin and experience?"
This question left the representative speechless.
The top leaders of the United States actually knew nothing about the shadow beast. It was just that in order to cover up the Hydra incident, they had to give it the title of the giant dog god, and they had to make the whole world believe that the United States also had a patron saint in a short period of time.
But no matter how they arranged it, they couldn't create a large piece of evidence and history out of thin air.
Now, except for the name of the Giant Dog God, everything about the shadow beast is still blank and there is no way to make it up!
But the representative still maintained a certain level of rationality and spoke calmly.
"How we discovered the existence of this giant dog god is a state secret and cannot be disclosed to the public for the time being."
"As for the time when the giant dog god lived...it was probably several thousand years ago."
"About?"
The Chinese reporter immediately caught the flaw.
"If there is already definitive textual evidence, why use a broad term like 'approximately'?"
The representative's smile froze a little, and she was filled with rage. If this wasn't a live broadcast of the press conference, she would have wanted to kick the person out herself.
