Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: The Spendthrift Hero

Fei Ji was stunned for a long, long time, until his legs went numb, still in a daze.

It seems he understood.

Understood why no one analyzes the plot on the website.

Because they can’t depict it, nor are they qualified to comment on it!

This is history, not fiction!

How could they comment?!

Comment on how tragic or desperate a character is?!

If any conscience is left in their hearts, they probably wouldn’t do such a thing!

Suddenly!

Fei Ji began frantically searching online for content about this documentary!

Although Lu Xiaobu strictly controlled the matter of piracy!

However, as a seasoned moviegoer, he didn’t quite believe it could be kept completely secret!

Quick! Quick!

Is there any?! Is there any?!

If not the full version, fragments will do!

If nothing else, even photos will do!

But!

Even though he scoured the entire internet, even bypassing to search in other countries...

The result was the same, nothing!

Nothing at all!

To watch the movie, there was only one way, to grab a ticket and see it in the cinema!

”Alright! Next time, I absolutely must go!” Fei Ji secretly vowed.

He hadn’t used his annual leave today, so once the next batch of screening cities was announced, he’d head straight to the city to grab tickets!

No matter what, he had to see this documentary!

Not only Fei Ji, many people were both surprised at the absence of any video or photos online, and simultaneously curious about the content of this documentary!

They wanted to watch!

Especially knowing that 80% of the viewers who saw it ended up vomiting, they were even more eager to see it!

However, the current hot topic online wasn’t this!

Rather, it was the calculation someone did of Lu Xiaobu’s expenses this time!

billion!

This article was calculated by an economist!

The revelation of this number shocked everyone!

”80 billion?! Is it real?! Lu Xiaobu needed to spend 80 billion just to release a movie?!”

”What kind of number is this?!”

”Damn! The most expensive movie in history!”

”How could it cost this much?! That doesn’t seem right! Usually, when we buy movie tickets, it’s just thirty or fifty bucks; there’s also a profit margin, excluding that profit, the cost should be very low! Why is it so high?!”

”Didn’t you read the article carefully?! It said that the cost of free screenings is actually very low, but Lu Xiaobu’s actions were very costly, those instruments, those personnel, and so on, it’s all high consumption!”

”My god! Is it really that terrifying?!”

”I’m pondering a question, is Lu Xiaobu a businessman?!”

”Yes... right?! Didn’t he start by doing business?!”

”But look, this time he’s practically doing a losing deal! 80 billion, 80 billion! That’s a total asset number for the top few names on the Second Level Rich List! However! Lu Xiaobu doesn’t do it for anything, doesn’t aim for anything, he didn’t even shout a few words himself! What’s he doing it for?!”

”Squandering?! Hahaha!” This person said something he himself didn’t believe!

Who would be so foolish?!

”Yeah, what’s Lu Xiaobu doing it for?!”

This question quickly became popular online, everyone was pondering this question.

Lu Xiaobu’s supporters were pondering, and so were his adversaries.

They couldn’t figure it out!

To the verge of bankruptcy, just to screen a movie?!

You’re talking charity, but it doesn’t seem so!

Who’s doing charity like this?!

Besides, screening a movie doesn’t seem like charity either!

What other reason could there be?!

No motive to speak of, like a child acting on impulse without a care!

In the end, the literary world provided an answer.

An answer many thought was nonsense, yet seemed true!

”The great hero serves the nation and its people! The squanderer hero!”

This was an article, but also an explanation.

”I believe that Lu Xiaobu can be called a hero! Moreover, a great hero! The great hero serves the nation and its people! Lu Xiaobu is doing, and has done a lot!”

”Looking back, everyone seemed to always focus on Lu Xiaobu’s capriciousness, his wealth, and of course, his squandering!”

”But now, looking back again, were the things he did really meaningless?!”

”Yes! And very significant, even those who hate him can’t deny this point!”

”He hates idols, hates trash movies! He resists the entire film industry, plans the authority of the entire film industry! Reshaping the nation’s morbid aesthetic perception of effeminacy!”

”He founded a traditional crafts school, bringing out the children from the mountains, and ensuring these forgotten traditional crafts are passed on and carried forward!”

”He initiated esports competitions but simultaneously set up strict anti-addiction measures and established a professional esports player review system, letting the world understand what esports is and what gaming is!”

”He set up education subsidies, so teachers no longer need to earn money against their conscience and can teach properly!”

”He constructed mobile payments, placing the Heavenly Dynasty at the forefront of the world!”

”He created national brands, spreading the things of Heavenly Dynasty worldwide!”

”He fought single-handedly, destroying that pillar of national disgrace as if it were our own!”

”He promoted the Chinese language, so now abroad, even without speaking foreign languages, communication is basically unhindered!”

”He also pioneered 4G, ensuring that the world no longer dares to look down on us and even looks up!”

”Each of these acts, every time it happened, everyone thought he was fooling around, but you, in front of the networks, haven’t you all enjoyed these benefits?”

”I’m a person who often goes abroad, previously, going abroad always inevitably faced questions like whether we had television shows or motorcycles in our place?”

”Although I always explained with a smile, honestly, it felt bad, very frustrating!”

”But, I don’t know when it started, did you know?! It changed! Completely changed!”

”When I go out saying I’m from the Heavenly Dynasty, they no longer show confusion but admiration, astonishment, even fear!”

”Now they still ask, ask what?! Ask if in your Heavenly Dynasty you really don’t need to carry cash?! Do you really all use smartphones?! Is your bamboo craft so great, can you sell me two?!”

”Of course! There’s also one critical question, almost everyone asks, do you know Lu Xiaobu?”

”What is this? Who brought about the change?! Don’t you understand?!”

”It’s that person! The squanderer Lu Xiaobu! He’s mad, he spares no expense, he acts on a whim, even though many fear and oppose him!”

”But haven’t you felt the benefits and respect brought by his madness?!”

”Today, I call him a hero! A squanderer hero! It may seem childish, but I quite like it!”

”This movie, which he didn’t hesitate to spend 80 billion on, is to tell those who kneeled too long and forgot they can stand up! How the Heavenly Dynasty rose from despair!”

”The great hero serves the nation and its people!”
