Chapter 300: 【championship】 Brand God, Frog Farming Makes You Someone Superior To Others!
After strolling around the lively Cat Street for a full circle and seeing all of Running’s nightlife, Yuan Zhu didn’t spend even a single cent. Relying solely on his stubborn willpower, he walked past one enticing shopfront after another without looking back once.
Leaving the street entrance, with the neon lights gradually dimming, Yuan Zhu re-entered the pitch-black chilly streets and couldn’t help but sigh: “I’m short on cash!”
Snake Snake quickly comforted him: “This kind of willpower-draining money pit isn’t worth browsing! King, your entrepreneurship is only halfway done—how can you get depressed? Keep struggling! Sooner or later, we can go to nightclubs in Taixi City for indulgent spending, or to Yellow Millet Town for hedonism and leg-watching. Running is just a small place.”
“Sigh, Yellow Millet Town… You almost made me forget if you hadn’t mentioned it.”
Reminded by Snake Snake, he suddenly realized it had been over 10 days since he last went to Dream Chasing Tower to listen to music, and he suddenly missed it a bit.
Snake Snake continued: “If you want to enter Dreamland, should we gather the old members of White Feather Association and issue new mission instructions?”
The slight desire he had just felt for Yellow Millet Town was instantly extinguished by thoughts of business. Yuan Zhu complained painfully: “Can we not talk about work-related things?”
Snake Snake: “We can’t just leave this group unmanaged and do nothing at all, right? For an Underground Society, the most important thing is to hold frequent activities. It doesn’t require giving away many benefits, but it must maintain activity levels and a sense of participation to foster belonging. If you don’t contact these believers for too long, their loyalty will scatter over time.”
Yuan Zhu: “Let me think—what can this group do? Just handing out welfare to them doesn’t satisfy me; but right now, I don’t have any suitable work to assign them.”
Snake Snake: “If Goblin Hegemony Competition shows some progress, why not hand this ‘event’ over to White Feather Association (Taixi Chamber of Commerce 63) to host? Cultivate White Feather Association into an ‘event organizer,’ turning it into a commercial organization. It gives these believers something to do and can generate profit.”
Yuan Zhu thought about it and felt the plan was feasible.
So he communicated with Snake Snake: “Right now, retrieve from my previous life’s memory bank the footage I’ve watched of WWE, UFC… and various exciting fighting highlights. Then feed it to Immortal Scripture, and redesign similar ‘melodramatic scripts’ of love, hate, passion, and grudges, plus exciting Goblin Fighter move sets, tailored to goblins’ physiological structure.”
“Best to assign each competing goblin contestant a unique, eye-catching, flashy, kill-mat hairstyle, clothing style, shameful chuunibyou lines, signature moves, and corresponding character personas. Like a mysterious Bull Warrior goblin with a mask hood that can never be removed…”
“These minor details won’t catch anyone’s attention in the early stages of ‘Goblin Hegemony Competition.’ But once the event attracts an audience with its hot-blooded, exciting content and gains its first batch of fans, they’ll dig a little deeper and be amazed by the ‘scripts, personas, worldview’ we’ve prepared in advance—hidden plot stories?”
“This mix of truth and fiction, full of narrative content, has never appeared in past underground boxing matches. Compared to traditional stage dramas, it adds a layer of real immersion. After all, Goblin Hegemony Competition won’t replay every scene like a drama.”
“Our Goblin Hegemony plot is continuous, one-time, with tight causal links between events. It advances in real-time based on match wins and losses, plus the ultra-strong entertainment from Immortal Scripture. Compared to real black-market matches, it adds dramatic tension. It makes people aware it’s ‘fake’ but still addictively bingeable like a soap opera!”
After all, real love-hate passions take lots of time to develop and can’t involve shameful showdowns under public scrutiny. But Goblin Hegemony perfectly ignores time flow, compressing dense plot into a concentrated chain of explosions that bombard the audience’s three views, leaving them overwhelmed.
Who would think this formula wasn’t Yuan Zhu’s original creation, but something his predecessor came up with while fighting in black-market boxing.
As a child, his predecessor was often taken by his lazy, pleasure-seeking mother to watch stage plays and dramas.
His somewhat vain mother enjoyed the superiority of entering theaters and chatting with others more; his predecessor didn’t get those emotions and focused more on the performances on stage.
Though he never went back to theaters or playhouses after becoming an orphan, his predecessor had knowledge reserves in this area. And while staring blankly at the arena in underground boxing gyms, having seen too many fixed matches, he suddenly conceived ‘fighting performances with plots.’ If the performance also featured flesh flying and bones breaking, how many audience members would really scrutinize whether it was real or fake?
Snake Snake: “Piece of cake, leave it to me! I can whip up three seasons of melodramatic scripts for you in one night! Guaranteed to blow the minds of Running’s bumpkins!”
Yuan Zhu: “Don’t make the script too stimulating. The locals haven’t tasted fine grains anyway—start with coarse ones. We also need to maintain competitiveness.”
He could already imagine that once Goblin Hegemony goes viral, there would inevitably be tons of copycats jumping in to steal business.
At that point, if he didn’t want to abandon his hard-built Fighting Brand, he’d have to keep investing costs and develop ‘core competitiveness’ that outsiders couldn’t imitate.
Snake Snake’s compiled Earth melodramatic scripts would be a key link. Those mind-blowing plots that shatter human three views would absolutely be traffic magnets.
Additionally, the relatively cheap ‘Frog System Modification costs’ are just a small advantage and can’t truly create a gap. Though he has cost advantages from Frog Factory + Nie Yin, Frog School also has other suppliers + excellent trainees.
On the contrary, Brain Eggplant CPU + Artificial Stupidity Program + Immortal Scripture intelligent plot generation is an ultra-strong core competitiveness that can’t be imitated short-term.
Other forces wanting to awaken goblin intelligence, force-feed such high-info scripts, act them out meticulously, fight fluidly and spectacularly, with injuries more realistic—bones breaking, tendons snapping, vomiting blood, passing out—would cost copycats way too much!
Yuan Zhu suddenly asked: “Snake Snake, if I really scale up Goblin Hegemony Competition and make it somewhat famous in Running, could the event itself condense a corresponding Commercial Deity or Event Deity to propel my deification?”
Snake Snake nodded in agreement: “Absolutely possible! From what I know, all of Du Ling’s famous brands are closely tied to ‘supernatural forces.’ At minimum, they birth a Brand God; at maximum, a supernatural system that incubates a series of Brand Concept Gods. Your Holy Church has many related enterprises—mostly higher-ups who see no hope on the Holy Light Path and switch to Holy Light Commercial Concept God for immortality.”
…
If Holy Light is seen as cultivation, the Seal Casting Path is the most orthodox Golden Immortal Path of the Immortal Path.
Because it’s the righteous path, it’s arduous. Many cultivators lacking aptitude, fortune, or mental fortitude, seeing no hope in the orthodox method, simply switch to side paths like incense deification, merit deification, and so on.
A top Immortal Sect, besides a few heaven-reaching core cultivation technique inheritances, naturally has tons of side methods. Easier difficulty, more side effects, but still able to achieve immortality and deification, long life eternal.
Du Ling Star’s brand-class concept gods are an extremely low-threshold but equally high-ceiling system. Every industry can hook into it. If you can’t cultivate ‘Angel’ inside Holy Church, no problem—just switch to the internal side path of Holy Light Brand Concept God (no longer orthodox Holy Light System Angel).
Similarly, that Old Yellow Heaven Geometric Four Heavenly Kings Visualization Diagram recorded in his mind can be seen as a side system of Yellow Heaven Way.
If you can’t cultivate Yellow Heaven Method, no problem—just practice the lower-threshold Power Path (Frog-Type) that needs less aptitude, and still deify within Yellow Heaven System, achieving Protector Heavenly King position.
Yuan Zhu fantasized: “Say, if I really condense a Goblin Hegemony Concept Deity, how should I handle it?”
He truly disdained inheriting that identity to become Goblin Hegemony Competition God. But ignoring it? Yuan Zhu couldn’t do that either—it’s a minor divine position. Though not as good as Mountain Lord position, it’s not something ordinary ability users can scam.
Tasteless to eat, a pity to discard. Chicken ribs! Chicken ribs!
Snake Snake: “Toss it into Anti-Law, and done. Anti-Law, like Law, can bind all ‘Pollution System’ things, provided you have absolute ownership of that ‘pollution.’ It can only bind inward, not outward. But this kind of Concept Deity is absolute private property—containing it in Anti-Law is effortless. You could even designate Goblin Hegemony Brand God; I think Yuan Tiao would be good.”
Yuan Zhu clicked his tongue: “The deities in this world are way too casual!”
In Du Ling, the deification threshold is getting lower and lower. He’s already half Shadow Demon God + Mountain Lord; on the Holy Light side, since he doesn’t join any faction and exists independently, as long as he develops ‘Personal Holy Light’ downward, he can condense some ‘position’ too.
Once, he thought Luxury Children’s Wear God Mao Mao King was unattainable; now, looking again, it seems just so-so? He could take her place! Acquire her Children’s Wear Company.
The more he uses Uniform, the more he finds Uniform awesome, with sky-high cost-performance. If possible, he’d really want to plagiarize and knock it off hard, like stealing Steel Breathing Method, and claim her Uniform for himself!
If that’s not feasible, just talk straight with Mao Mao King to become her dealer; or acquire her supernatural children’s wear and inherit her Happy Home! As for funds, he’s saving up…
…
The next day, sleeping until late morning without going to Yellow Millet Town in his dream, Yuan Zhu felt spiritually refreshed and dove into the new day’s work.
He made two morning trips to the suburbs, transporting all remaining Insect Pillar Town Stones to Yin Mountain Cave Dwelling in two batches. But he didn’t rush to set up the subsequent Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Formation.
This wasn’t because he didn’t want to develop his Domain, but because the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Formation set up the previous day, though initially formed, was still in the expansion, grind, and fusion stages.
On the surface, Heavenly Dipper Formation was fully laid out and deployed, overlapping and fusing with the entire Yin Mountain, even condensing a Deed for Yuan Zhu, making him a Landlord ahead of time.
But like a newly transplanted ‘heart,’ it could indeed pump blood for the patient, delivering oxygen and nutrients to sustain life and health, allowing long-term survival.
But that doesn’t mean the ‘heart’ is fully ground in, completely adapted to the body, ready for intense exercise like running a marathon.
On the contrary, a patient fresh out of heart transplant surgery still has a bedridden observation period. They need various drugs to reduce rejection, ultimately letting the ‘heart’ truly adapt to the body, integrate into the physiological system, indistinguishable from the rest.
Heavenly Dipper Formation is the same. It still needs time to accumulate Shadow Spiritual Energy, then through the root tendril vascular network pervading Yin Mountain’s interior, repeatedly temper the entire mountain body several times before deploying the second round of Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Formation.
So after transporting the Worm Pillars, Yuan Zhu didn’t rush to complete the Domain’s final step; instead, he kept shuttling between Haunted Houses, transporting batches of dormant Shadow Eggplant Essences, various cultivation resources brought from Eclosion World… all to Yin Mountain Cave Dwelling.
Now, the formed Heavenly Dipper Formation matches Haunted House in safety and defense, or even surpasses it.
Yin Mountain just falls short of Disease Garden. But that’s because Mountain Lord’s Domain hasn’t fully developed yet, hasn’t opened internal space. Even so, it crushes Haunted House. And it’s safer, with no risk of the original owner showing up.
Moving property over one day earlier lets him relax one day sooner.
……Another day……
After two consecutive days of relentless moving.
Now inside Haunted House, few ‘eggplant essence embryos’ wrapped in membranous sacs remain; the villa interior is empty and desolate. Only 45 newly acquired ‘frail, sick, pitiful goblins’ are re-wrapped fully by Shadow Eggplant Vines, completing eggplant parasitism, undergoing pollution erosion toward Eggplant Goblin direction (gestating).
This morning, Yuan Zhu didn’t head into Misty Mountains for once; instead, unusually dressing neatly, he headed to Rain Courtyard. Yesterday during the big move, he passed Frog Factory Site multiple times and, unsurprisingly, was spotted and intercepted by Senior Student Chen, who reminded him to meet at Rain Courtyard today—she had gifts for him.
As for the gifts? Naturally, the promised sports car!
The reason Senior Student took so long, besides personally selecting the promised ‘sports car,’ was she specially went to her uncle’s to get a high-performance, hundred-ton capacity dump truck used year-round in mining areas.
Finally, there are a few cheap villas on sale; Senior Student plans to tour them with Candle. If any suit, take a loan early. With debt, it better sparks the drive to struggle, work hard for oneself! No—entrepreneurship together!
Senior Student Chen, who spent a full week at the construction site supervising progress but never saw Yuan Zhu, grew increasingly suspicious: whose undertaking is this? How can you not care?! Starting tomorrow, you’re officially on the job—drive Hundred-Ton King starting from Frog School to haul goods!
Haul the first batch of Frog Spawn to the first completed ‘frog farming pool’ at Frog Factory, use Holy Light talent for cleaning and sterilization, and start the official frog farming road to riches!
So Yuan Zhu came today to claim the sports car, receive Hundred-Ton King, buy a villa… one-stop service.
From now on, he’s someone superior to others, a private entrepreneur (frog farmer) with car and house!
