Rolls-Royce, the aristocracy of automobiles; the discerning Chinese might notice that at major celebrations in America, the wealthy and the elite favor this marque, accounting for over half of the visible presence.

Among this brand’s models, the Phantom series employs the highest caliber of craftsmanship and the finest materials. Even the cheapest older Phantom commands a price well over five million, embodying ultimate luxury and prestige.

Thus, Fei Long's demand was nothing short of audacious; to ask for five million just for an idea was making money faster than robbing a bank!

“Stop dreaming, Fei Long. That’s maybe what one service appointment for a Rolls-Royce Phantom costs,” Wang Zhuo waved him off impatiently. “If you want to say it, say it; if not, forget it.”

Fei Long immediately deflated, but he was the type who desperately needed to show off. If he conceived such a brilliant idea and kept it bottled up, he’d surely develop emphysema!

Forget telling Wang Zhuo for free; he’d happily pay Wang Zhuo a hundred thousand just to get the idea out, otherwise, the discomfort would be akin to a difficult labor.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, alright?” Fei Long sighed heavily, then painstakingly laid out his concept.

Wang Zhuo lounged casually on the sofa, listening. First came surprise, then incredulity bordering on farce, and finally, his eyes began to gleam. By the time Fei Long finished speaking, Wang Zhuo was slapping the table, calling it masterful!

All this time, Wang Zhuo had viewed Fei Long as an unlearned lout. In reality, the man’s IQ was certainly not lacking; he was just pathologically lazy, only bothering to delve deep into things that truly interested him, skimming over everything else, and possessing a wild, carefree nature that often made him seem like a complete fool. Yet, when this man put his mind to something, he was second to no one. Consider this moment: he had fully deployed his sharp intellect to present Wang Zhuo with a brilliant concept!

In the United States, consumer spending on adult entertainment was staggeringly high, vastly exceeding what they spent on Hollywood movies—this was a massive market, churning out nearly a hundred adult films daily, with hundreds of thousands of legal websites raking in profits from the industry.

“Everyone is profiting.” Actors earned a minimum of a thousand dollars a day. The bare minimum budget for a single film could be as low as five thousand dollars, and they never worried about sales.

And in Japan, the world’s largest exporter in adult entertainment, this industry was promoted globally even before the U.S. caught up, blooming everywhere. Some economists had jokingly remarked that this industry alone was enough to keep Japan safe from an economic crisis for the next fifty years.

Fei Long had fixed his sights squarely on this arena. He had devised a stroke of genius: leveraging this globally pervasive medium through subtle promotion to achieve maximum publicity return with minimal investment.

Shoot a few documentaries—that would serve as both promotion and recoup the production costs; develop several special features, collaborating with adult television stations worldwide; offer free ‘enhancements’ to well-known stars to let fans discover the results themselves; incorporate interstitial and product placement ads; establish a user club to provide a platform for exchange…

“Let’s call it the Big Shot Club! We can film a series too—holding online lotteries to recruit some lucky fellows, first recording their state and testimony before the enhancement, then cutting to a scene where these freely enhanced guys go out to pick up girls—all while they narrate their experiences on camera!” Fei Long rambled excitedly, countless wild ideas bubbling up, as if he could already see the vast prospects, the fans’ screams, the customers’ frenzy. This feeling of commanding the situation and deploying strategy was simply intoxicating!

“Hold it, hold it!” Wang Zhuo interrupted him at the right moment, chuckling. “I think this is more than enough. If you keep pushing, you won’t even need to spend on promotion; you might even start earning money while promoting!”

“That’s exactly the effect I’m going for!” Fei Long declared proudly. “It proves how formidable and effective our Bllumn is! Just follow what I’ve outlined, and I guarantee it will work!”

“Since you have such a clear vision, why don’t you handle these matters?” Wang Zhuo teased. “Though this might disrupt your schedule for filming the Beijing Heat series. Have you considered that?”

“Uh…” Fei Long paused, then his face lit up with joy, leaping up and exclaiming, “Boss, are you really going to entrust this to me?”

“Yes. Aren’t you in the fine arts yourself? You should be able to step in as a producer occasionally,” Wang Zhuo said with a sly smile. “Your idea is worth a Phantom. If you do well, I’ll buy you a Bell helicopter next year as a bonus.”

“Holy crap!” Fei Long instantly went into hysterics. A Rolls-Royce Phantom in hand, and a Bell helicopter worth over forty million next year—this was huge, this was truly his ticket to success!

This summer felt a little hot.

It wasn’t clear when it started, but a piece of gossip began to circulate quietly: someone had supposedly developed a drug that could grant men ‘second development,’ strengthening their lower halves, turning timid men into studs, and studs into supermen!

This whisper campaign was just hearsay, and those with some life experience wouldn't believe it; after all, this era had no shortage of swindlers, especially those selling fake medicines, who were as common as grass and who loved exploiting such topics. Who would believe them?

But the rumors had only been circulating for a few days when, ‘pictures or it didn't happen,’ proof appeared! Someone posted a set of photos online, including before-and-after comparisons of the ‘second development.’ These pictures looked incredibly realistic, and the poster claimed they had been stolen from someone else’s drawer. To prove the images weren't just some April Fool's prank, they provided a download link for high-definition large files.

And so, a massive, heated discussion erupted. Authenticating these photos was a technical challenge. Some with simpler minds immediately accepted them as real. Others, inherently skeptical and predisposed to doubt, dismissed them as fabrications, no matter how many experts authenticated them with astonishment.

Hype, hype—that’s what was wanted! Without controversy, there was nothing to argue about, and no way to grab attention! Even elementary schoolers understood this trick now, yet people still fell for it. The louder the argument, the more bystanders crowded to watch!

The news media in developed nations possessed hyper-sensitive instincts. Once these photos gained traction, the media quickly jumped in, leading to a flurry of conflicting reports. Many major online outlets, television stations, and newspapers invited experts to ‘testify,’ connecting the dots with the earlier rumors to analyze whether such a magical substance truly existed.

After capturing sufficient attention, an adult film titled GodLoveMe suddenly materialized mysteriously online. Correspondingly, a Japanese film, Miracle Gospel, appeared shortly after, quickly overtaking the American release within three days of its debut!

GodLoveMe was a first-person perspective film, depicting the ‘inspirational’ story of a timid man’s transformation into a formidable one. The male protagonist was originally a self-conscious Black youth, measuring only eleven centimeters, whom even the working girls at the motel rejected as inadequate, demanding extra money.

Just as every viewer expected a comedy, the protagonist had a dream. In it, he met God, who benevolently granted him one request—an increase of five centimeters.

The next morning, he woke up, and he really was sixteen centimeters!

What followed were thrilling scenes where the young Black man finally held his head high. Friends who had mocked him and women who had scorned him all reappeared, astonished by his change. Even the prostitute who had rejected him came forward to apologize and offer her services for free.

It must be noted that the young Black man possessed considerable acting talent; he portrayed the extreme highs and lows of a man’s transformation convincingly, making his performance quite outstanding, even though it was essentially playing himself.

But no matter how brilliant the film, the ‘eleven to sixteen’ transformation was more astonishing. This film immediately became a massive hit, and its download volume once even crashed the website!

The Japanese film, Miracle Gospel, told the story of a superstar in the Japanese adult film
