Ling Xiaoyi held the phone and, looking at Xiao Dao and the other four standing in front of her, was extremely despondent. The more calls she received, the more despondent she became...

“Is it Miss Xiaoyi? I’m the sales director of Flying Soft shampoo company. I wish to invite the members of the Flying Bull basketball team to help me do a shampoo advertisement, may I know whether it’s possible?” said the person at the other end of the call.

Ling Xiaoyi looked at the few people in front of her. “That... Sir, can you wait till their hair grows before we study into this matter? Moreover, our Young Master has never liked inserting advertisements...” Are you asking these baldies who have just been released from prison to endorse shampoo products...

“Hello, I’m the CEO of the Exciting Food food company. I wish to invite a few basketball stars... Ah, don’t misunderstand me, anyone will do. I wish to invite them to endorse our company’s newly launched exciting little steamed buns. We can offer 15 million for the endorsement fee. I’d like to request for Miss Xiaoyi to say a few good words about us to Young Master...”

Ling Xiaoyi looked at them—who among these super unique fellows was suitable to endorse that so-called exciting little steamed buns...

“Miss Xiaoyi, please agree to endorse our Double Explosive Beer. Yesterday, Third Pang Zi of your Flying Bull basketball team scored two goals consecutively—this is very close to the significance of our Double Explosive Beer. Rest assured, the endorsement fee will definitely not be low—12 million, please agree to it!”

Ling Xiaoyi looked at Third Pang Zi... Alright, one look at this fellow and she could tell that he was good at drinking!

“Miss Ling Xiaoyi, I’m from XXX company...”

Actually, normally speaking, they definitely couldn’t agree to endorsements and advertising. But Young Master had given them a yearly salary of 5 million, especially since recently, Young Master was apparently squandering more and more. Young Master wasn’t willing to earn money, but if they secretly accepted jobs in private, then they should be able to transfer the money into Young Master’s account. The key was that Young Master never looked at how much money he had in his card...

Thus, the few of them secretly decided that they would earn a little money first. Anyway, these few fellows had been released from prison by Young Master, so they’d definitely be obedient. It would be enough if they didn’t say it out loud...

Thus, very soon, a series of advertisements appeared on television—

Big Fei: “This is a champion age where material desires are rampant. Everyone is walking at fast paces. Many head coaches are shouting and rushing around outside the match grounds. When the players get drunk, they pull the hand of Dali Amazing Cup. Everyone more or less gets injured, there are all ferocious people on the match grounds, and even when Heavenly State men wash their heads—they use Flying Soft. I’m Big Fei, I only use Flying Soft.” Big Fei had scored 16 points during the competition. Thus, this fatty had to leave a deep impression on the audience. Therefore, with only two millimeters of hair on his forehead, his hair looked extremely fresh and clean...

Fourth De Zi: “The noodle got bashed up by the steamed bun. Refusing to give in, the noodle went forward to reason with the steamed bun. Alas, it was bashed up by the steamed bun again. On the way home, it saw exciting the little steamed bun, and the noodle went forward and hit him, scolding. “Even if I can’t win against you, would I be unable to win against your son?” Fourth De Zi looked extremely perverted, and by endorsing for this exciting little steamed bun, especially coupled with his little gaze that seemed extremely perverted no matter what he looked at, it’d definitely make people relate from the exciting little steamed bun to the little steamed bun on a woman’s body. Thus, exciting little steamed bun very soon got a nickname: Perverted little steamed bun...

Though this nickname was perverted, at least it was easy for people to remember...

Third Pang Zi: “Double Explosive Beer, two shots at once. I always drink it!” The screen showed his memorable double slam dunks. Thus, the sports lovers throughout Heavenly State who saw this advertisement would most often say this when they drank beer: “Boss, give me a double explosive! I won’t feel good if it’s not explosive!”

...

Advertisements by Flying Bull basketball team were everywhere, and the number of searches on the internet regarding Flying Bull continually increased.

Actually, initially, this wasn’t really a big deal. Almost everything Hong Dali started up would become greatly popular, and everyone had accepted this long ago.

The problem was that this time, it’d become a little too big of a matter.

The cause of the incident was because of a gambler. After he’d watched the friendly match between Wanhao vs Flying Bull, he’d vividly remembered the slogan that Flying Bull had shouted before it launched its attack—”For Young Master’s Sake.” It just had to be that this fellow was also an absolutely loyal fan of Hong Dali, and he very much liked that phrase “Dali Creates Miracles” which Hong Dali often quoted. Thus, before he bought the lottery, he shouted loudly, “For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!”

And then, this fellow struck a lottery of 1.3 million...

The boss of the lottery shop remembered this incident deeply. He’d definitely have a deep impression of such a vivid example. Initially, the boss of the lottery shop didn’t really take this too seriously—it was just buying lottery, after all. There were even more superstitious things, and there were also people who prayed to the God of Fortune before they bought the lottery.

But the problem was that the fellow who shouted “For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!” had actually really struck the lottery! And he’d struck such a big prize of 1.3 million!

He had to advertise this, he definitely had to put up a red banner to advertise this!

Thus, the boss of the lottery shop made a huge banner, and on it was written—”Prize winner shouted loudly ‘For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles’ and a miracle actually happened. Deepest congratulations to the emergence of our first 1.3 million big prize winner!”

Once this red banner was hung, this lottery shop instantly became popular!

Among those who came to buy the lottery subsequently, practically all of them would shout “For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles.” Then, as expected, the probability of them winning a prize would rise, though it wasn’t so exaggerated as the first person who won 1.3 million at once. However, it was common seeing people winning a few yuan, tens of yuan, hundreds of yuan, or thousands of yuan.

News of this spread rapidly, and not long after, the people around this small area curiously gathered. “What are those people doing? They’re even burning incense before they buy the lottery? And they’re shouting ‘For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles’... What exactly is the matter?” And then someone who knew about it would explain to that person. “You don’t understand this, right? That person who won 1.3 million a few days ago shouted ‘For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles’ before he bought the lottery, and then he really won! Now everyone who comes here to buy the lottery will shout this, and some devoted ones will even burn incense and so on, praying for Young Master to bless them to win a prize. And what do you know, it’s really quite effective...”

And then, someone posted about this incident on the internet. It was titled “For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles, A Miracle Has Really Been Created!”. Then, it attracted countless people to gather around and take a look. Moreover, there were also quite a few people who learned from it and, before buying the lottery, they would shout this. There were even those who bathed, changed their clothes, and burned incense to pray to Dali. Then, this matter became more amazing the more it was spread, and within less than two days, the number one cult in Heavenly State, Dali Divine Sect, had appeared on the internet...

Dali Divine Sect. There weren’t any requirements for cult members to join, the only proactive action they needed to make was that every time they needed good luck—for instance, going for interviews, blind dating, examinations and so on—before they did these, they would bathe and change their clothes, then burn incense and pray to Dali, and then, more often than not, good luck would indeed descend on them.

Initially, there were only hundreds of people in Dali Divine Sect. But then, within a mere few days, it had increased to more than 3,000 members, then it got more amazing. The more it was spread, and as the number of people increased by tens of thousands, the participants ranged from students to civil servants, to office workers, farmers, and handicraft workers, it could be said to comprise of people from all sorts of backgrounds.

These people were already extremely loyal to Hong Dali. Very soon, Dali Divine Sect had developed to a scale of more than 100,000 members, and it was still continuously increasing. Those who joined Dali Divine Sect usually tried their best to mimic Hong Dali in the way they did things. It was their code of conduct to treat ignorance as bliss, and it was the basic conduct for them to be kind and feed stray cats and dogs when they encountered any. It was a basic requirement for them to not be calculating—surprisingly, the luck index and happiness index of these people had really rapidly increased, and thus, the more it spread, the more amazing it became, and the number of members increased more and more...

Sangle Tieba forum, on Dali Divine Sect Tieba forum, there were such posts all around—

“God Dali, bless me to be able to meet a super pretty girl during my blind dating tomorrow. I’ll kneel in front of you! For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!”

“Young Master, bless me to be able to pass my interview tomorrow. If I don’t pass it, I’ll starve to death. I hope that the interviewer tomorrow will like me. For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!”

These were still ordinary, there were some which were more exaggerated and impressive—

“Believe in Young Master and you can live forever. After you die, you can be revived! For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!”

“Supreme manly person, he’s our guiding lamp, our Noah’s ark, our Jesus and Buddha. for Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!”

“This is the first time I’ve redeemed prizes consecutively throughout my years of drinking drinks. Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Central TV. Thank you, Kiribus Club. Thank you... For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!”

Towards the end, the more it was spread, the more mystical it got, and it was totally like a myth and legend—

“Believe in Young Master and you won’t fail your exam. Young Master is a true man, a true man of steel. The nation’s good brother, a father’s good son, he’s extremely strong and robust, he makes planes at the age of 3, drives a tank at the age of five, wears clothes of iron at the age of 6. His strength is boundless, he feels lonely and bored, so he retreats from the Pugilistic World. He raises his head and stares at the green mountains silently, the beasts in the mountains moan. From then on, Young Master became a legend, and praises of him spread for hundreds of generations—For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!”

“Young Master, I’m a toiling farmer. It hasn’t rained in our region for half a month already, I beg Young Master to reward some rain. For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!” Then, it was said that the next day, it really rained...

Thus, with people spreading it to one another, eventually, the most impressive incident of begging Young Master to possess one’s body happened—

“Young Master, please reward me with a baby. My husband and I have been married for six years yet we still haven’t a child. I hope Young Master will give your blessings. For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!” Of course, as for the exact effects, nobody was certain about it...

And in reality, Dali Divine Sect had been spread very rapidly, to the extent that more often than not, when people met someone they knew, they would send a “you know it” gaze, then smile frivolously and greet in a low voice: “Have you prayed today?”

Then, the other person would answer: “I’ve prayed already. For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!”

For those who hadn’t joined Dali Divine Sect, it would become like this—

“Hurry up and pray to Young Master, it’s more awesome than praying to the God of Fortune! Everyone in our cult prays every day, and now every day, there will be people winning the lottery. Ah, of course, I’m not so devoted yet, so I haven’t won the lottery. But in terms of drinking, almost four or five out of ten times I will win extra drinks. It’s very effective!”

“Really? So exaggerated? Then how can I join?”

“Follow me and repeat: For Young Master’s Sake, Dali Creates Miracles!”
