Chapter 291: Chapter 290: Brainwashing Begins [2nd Update, Please Subscribe]

Two days later, those high-quality science popularization soft articles had already spread across the internet.

However, Brain Black Gold’s sales did not see any significant increase.

This scene further chilled the hearts of everyone at Brain Black Gold Company.

They felt that Brain Black Gold was thoroughly doomed this time!

On that day, at eleven in the morning, the first wave of the advertising bombardment began.

Everyone at Brain Black Gold Company was focused on the impact of this leading salvo.

Even Wu Yuanren, who usually lived a life of debauchery, forcefully washed his head with cold water to calm himself down and start paying attention to the ads.

The TV advertisement began.

The screen suddenly displayed two characters that people on Earth were very familiar with.

An old man and an old lady, these were personally vetted by Lu Xiaobu and gradually crafted by professionals.

The effect was almost exactly the same as the "Brain White Gold" TV advertisement from his world.

As soon as they appeared, the animated characters of the old man and old lady started bouncing around.

"This year, for the holidays, no gifts to give!"

"No gifts to give, no gifts to give! No gifts to give, no gifts to give!"

"If you’re giving gifts, give Brain Black Gold! Brain... Black... Gold!"

The 15-second advertisement ended!

After watching it, everyone at Brain Black Gold Company exclaimed in unison—indeed, it’s a brain-dead ad!

Wu Yuanren even opened another bottle of Erguotou, unable to stop his eyes from moistening!

He dedicated a song of farewell to himself.

However, they felt the chills were their problem, and Liang Lan’s plan had to continue still.

This was just the beginning.

Three billion in advertising investment, the bombardment of brain-dead advertisements had started.

In an instant, whether on TV, forums, Weibo, video sites, newspapers, in first-tier cities, second-tier cities, third-tier cities, or even county-level cities, this brain-dead ad popped up everywhere.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

It was as if the world had changed beyond recognition quietly within a single day.

Everywhere they looked, they saw those two blindly bouncing old folks, and everywhere they listened, they heard that ungodly catchy lyric.

Therefore!

Netizens exploded!

"Damn, what kind of brain-dead ad is this?! Are they sick?!"

"Ha! What the hell is this?!"

"I feel like I’ve gone blind!"

"What is this brain-dead ad?!"

"Brain Black Gold? More like Brain Stupid Gold!"

"The one above got it wrong, they already said it’s Brain Black Gold, blackening your own brain’s gold!"

"Video sites are also full of these Brain Black Gold ads now! Such a scam! I’m almost brainwashed! How can there be such a rubbish ad!"

"What kind of company made this brain-dead ad, I want to curse at them!"

Soon, someone revealed the truth.

"This is an advertisement planned by Lu Xiaobu single-handedly; others just cooperated, this whole thing was orchestrated by Lu Xiaobu."

Hearing the name Lu Xiaobu, for some reason, the cursing on the internet paused for a moment.

"Eh... it’s Young Master Bu! Then it seems I kind of understand now!"

"I also understand, it really is Young Master Bu’s style!"

"I feel like I can kind of guess what Lu Xiaobu is thinking, he definitely did this on purpose to bombard us!"

"..."

Some even joined in.

"This year, for the holidays, no gifts to give, if giving gifts, then give... receive!"

"Give Brain Black Gold, hey, barter black!"

"Damn it, I actually sang it out loud! I’ve truly been brainwashed!"

"It’s so devilishly catchy!"

...

However, these were just a small part; there were still more curses raining down like a storm.

"The prodigal son’s brain-dead advertisement, no refutations accepted, no explanations!"

"Stupid ad, stupid Lu Xiaobu, no explanations!"

"Lu Xiaobu is ill-fated all his life, especially this Brain Black Gold, dad would rather die than buy it."

"..."

Watching these curses, the people from Brain Black Gold Company showed an expression that indeed it was as expected.

They said to Liang Lan in utter anguish.

"President Liang, shall we change our advertisement?"

"Yeah, really, let’s drop this ad, I feel if this goes on, we’ll be lynched!"

"President Liang, please talk to Young Master Bu."

"..."

"Do your jobs, this isn’t for you to worry about."

Liang Lan rebuked, "Increase the advertising power again, invest another hundred million!"

Others may not see its potential, but she did.

See? Now people are starting to sing it.

Give it some time, and she guaranteed that no one would ever be able to forget those two old men and woman, that devilish dance and song!

...

Meanwhile, Wu Yuanren finally couldn’t hold back any longer, hurriedly finding Lu Xiaobu who was having a meal: "Xiaobu, your Uncle Wu has never begged anyone in his life, I’m scared now, I surrender, okay? I beg you today, let’s change the advertisement, will you?"

"No change."

Lu Xiaobu said decisively.

"Do you really want to see your Uncle Wu begging on the streets?" Wu Yuanren asked, filled with anger.

"If that’s your kind of entertainment, I don’t mind, but if you’re talking about being so poor to beg on the streets, that’s unrealistic. Consider taking a bath in money," Lu Xiaobu replied nonchalantly.

"Xiaobu, won’t you really reconsider?!" Wu Yuanren said angrily.

"Really won’t." Lu Xiaobu was very sure: "And the sales will definitely explode!"

"Explode my ass, things are already this bad and you’re talking about sales explosion! Do you know how the industry is cursing me calling me an idiot?" Wu Yuanren exploded with anger: "If we still get explosive sales after this, I... I’ll twist my head off!"

"Uh..." Lu Xiaobu paused, then looked at Wu Yuanren’s head, pondering: "I don’t think my house has a place to put your head, besides, it wouldn’t look good, maybe you should just shave your head bald, could probably use it as a light bulb."

"Pfft!"

Wu Yuanren almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood for three kilometers!

After I said all that, you’re still this confident?!

Fine, I’ll fight it out with you today!

Let’s wait and see!

It’s just the company, right?!

I don’t want it anymore, okay?!

Wu Qianmin on the side was stomping in frustration: "Xiaobu, can’t you give in a bit to my dad?"

"That’s your dad, not mine." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.

"Hmph, with the current situation, you can forget about hoping I’d be your father!" Wu Yuanren coldly huffed with a deeper meaning!

"Uh..." Lu Xiaobu was stunned.

Uncle Wu is really something else!

While they were talking, Lu Xiaobu’s phone rang.

"Hello, dad, what’s up?" Lu Xiaobu answered.

"What’s up? What else could it be? That advertisement for your Uncle Wu’s company, did you pull that off?" Lu’s father inquired.

"Yeah!" Lu Xiaobu nodded.

"Xiaobu, listen to me! Messing around with others is one thing, but you have to draw the line with your Uncle Wu!"

Lu’s father advised: "Your Uncle Wu helped us out a lot, if you end up really upsetting him, wrecking him, and it ends up preventing Qianmin from entering our family, be careful, I’ll spank you when I get home!"

"Don’t worry, she will definitely not enter your doorstep!" Uncle Wu shouted angrily: "After ruining me like this, you all still have the nerve to think about my daughter? Do you have any shame?"

"Uh... Old Wu is here." Lu’s father was suddenly embarrassed, this was quite the mess.

"Don’t worry, dad, I have my own plans, he will deliver Qianmin to our home!"

Lu Xiaobu said with confidence.

"Keep dreaming!" Wu Yuanren was fuming.

What, does your family eat up ours!?

Lu Xiaobu ignored him and continued eating.

So, even his own dad, who usually dotes on him, doesn’t believe this stupid ad will work!

It is true that a normal person wouldn’t believe it.

However, reality is going to shock everyone to the core!
