After who knows how long, Viscount Roster suddenly pulled out a stack of parchment and began writing. This was actually a little trick he’d learned from Ren. Not long ago, when the database feature was released, he wanted his subordinates to compile statistics about various things in the territory. He discovered that just giving verbal instructions always seemed less efficient. Sometimes they’d misunderstand and do the wrong thing, sometimes they’d forget important matters. Later, during the factory reforms, he and the wandering wild mage tried assigning tasks through written text and recording important information. The final results were naturally very good. From then on, whether it was territorial matters or the Finance Minister’s business, everything became simpler and more effective. He even discovered this method had another benefit—no matter how many people he needed to give instructions to, he didn’t need to explain things himself or have subordinates relay messages to each other. The completion rate for multi-person tasks improved exponentially. The benefits were just too numerous, so he started using written processing for everything. He even found he could write things down once in reality, then give instructions again in group chats. That way, he didn’t need to worry about "dead men telling no tales," and his subordinates would be much more careful when doing things. Soon, a document titled "Public Opinion Squad Formalization Experiment 0001" was written out by Viscount Roster. Its opening even directly emphasized the importance of this matter—for mortals in this world, every word could be considered devastating! 1). The Magic Internet is the fastest information dissemination medium in history, created by the God of Technology and Goddess of Magic. It has wide coverage and highly efficient dissemination efficiency, capable of spreading something throughout the continent’s upper society in the shortest time. If you can master a certain ’authority’ within it, you can ensure your voice and intentions are rapidly and widely disseminated, which helps increase your own influence. 2). Judging various events from a ’third-party perspective’ can effectively use ’public opinion’ to influence and control the dissemination of various ’information content’ with different intentions, thereby guiding public opinion. Refer to the ’Internet Public Opinion Squad.’ 3). After a ’third-party perspective’ gains certain authoritative attributes, through careful planning, reporting, and promotion, it can improve one’s own image and shape others’ views on specific events, long-term influencing mainstream people’s attitudes and behaviors. Googlᴇ search 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥 4). Can rapidly disseminate ideas, propositions, and values. For example, major nobles’ attitudes toward the God of Technology, etc. Just focus on sharing the God of Technology’s proven impact on various territories—mining machinery, agricultural machinery, self-charging magic arrays, Magic Power Networks, etc. Ignore minor flaws, present facts, give data—publish specific increased production quantities, gold coins earned, installation numbers, etc., to influence other nobles. 5). Shape public perception and behavior... 6). Handle crises and public relations management... 7). Promote Magic Conductor development and Magic Conductor popularization efficiency... Just the benefits section went on for over a thousand words. After that came specific details on how to operate, how to establish authority, how to maintain authority, what to report, how to respond to various situations, and so on. Swindler Megan, captain of the ’Magic Internet Public Opinion Squad,’ stared dumbfounded at the strategy handed to her by her boss, the legendary Viscount Roster. Her face was full of astonishment! Swindler Megan wasn’t some terrible insult—she really was a swindler, and a fairly famous one in the Kingdom of Dawn capital’s underworld. Born in the lower classes of society, with no land, unable to become an artisan, like rats in a gutter—whether it was her or her colleagues, they all felt their whole lives they could only survive through theft and fraud. Maybe one day they’d be caught and beaten to death in the streets as entertainment for freemen, or one day they’d freeze to death outside. Until one day, the legendary Finance Minister, the legendary Magic Conductor merchant Viscount Roster found them, wanting to hire them... Honestly, at the time they really thought they’d met a fellow con artist. How could such a thing exist in this world? How could a noble lord, a top-tier noble, have anything to do with rats and vermin like them from the gutters? Not until he brought them to Roster territory, into Viscount Roster’s castle, had servants take them to bathe, changed them into brand new clothes, and gave them their advance payment did they realize their fortunes had truly turned. Especially when they heard that their upcoming work would be the same as before—swindling... no wait, not swindling. How could noble lords’ business be called swindling? Their job was to guide public opinion, let people who didn’t know the truth know what was real, and promote things the lord wanted more people to know about. Like those devil-like machines. This work was just too perfect for them! It was basically their old intelligence work, just moved to the legendary ’Magic Net.’ They no longer had that much risk. Every day they had warm houses to live in. They’d never need to worry about being caught and killed... But even so, Swindler Megan and the others always felt the lord was a charitable person. Their work wasn’t worth this kind of pay, much less worth the lord specially assigning teachers to teach them lots of knowledge that only nobles were supposed to know. Until Swindler Megan saw this stack of parchment before her. Swindler Megan looked somewhat stunned. She’d never imagined the things she did could have such enormous effects. She’d never imagined what she did could be changed ... So this was how the newly updated ’News’ feature on the Magic Internet was supposed to be used! "My lord, you’re saying you need our ’Public Opinion Squad’ people to continue disguising ourselves as having no connection to you, start sharing fresh happenings from various places, life tips, Magic Conductor and magic-related knowledge on the ’News’ feature? Gradually, when people see our ’Public Opinion Squad’s’ name, they’ll instinctively believe every word we say is true?" Swindler Megan couldn’t completely understand the meaning of all this text, but she did understand what exactly she needed to do next. "Yes, I’ll have more people cooperate with you. Of course, I also need some of your people to leave the territory and go to various regions of the kingdom for on-site ’visits,’ publishing more time-sensitive ’fresh happenings’ on there. Of course, I’ll give you my travel passes to ensure you can follow merchant caravans and move freely throughout the entire Kingdom of Dawn." Viscount Roster nodded with satisfaction. "I know this might be somewhat dangerous for the brothers who leave..." "No, we’re not afraid of danger. If it weren’t for you, we..." Swindler Megan wanted to say more, but Viscount Roster waved his hand. "No, what I want to say is, I’ll give the brothers who leave the territory to collect ’fresh happenings’ in various places a substantial subsidy."
