Chapter 296 Netizens' Speculation

In Modu Mingdao, Elder Song, who was also watching the Western Alliance's press conference, suddenly received news from Bai Ye. His initially indignant old face broke into a smile.

"This kid, is he finally going to reveal everything?"

"That's good. In an era of turbulent times, people who stir up the wind are always needed. It's about time!"

At this moment, Elder Song seemed to heave a heavy sigh of relief, and his eyes shone a bit brighter. The West's early disclosure of the truth, while it might cause some social panic, would at least eliminate the need for secrecy and reduce the workload. At the same time, the military could concentrate its efforts on eliminating the invading monsters!

Thus, Elder Song hurriedly contacted Liu Qinmin.

After leaving Modu and returning to Lone Star Villa, Bai Ye immediately received Elder Song's reply.

'Tomorrow noon, Imperial Capital People's Square.'

Clearly, Bai Ye had now gained the full support of the top echelon of Da Xia.

And just as the Da Xia higher-ups sent their reply to Bai Ye, the central news media, People's Media, and other major national media outlets almost simultaneously released weighty news.

On October 10th at 12:00 PM, the 1st Da Xia People's Hero Commendation Conference would be held at the Imperial Capital People's Square.

As soon as the news broke, it spread throughout the entire Da Xia network. The public, who were still focused on the Western 'truth' press conference, looked at this news, somewhat bewildered.

The People's Hero Commendation Conference, what kind of conference was this, that it would mobilize all official news accounts with such grandeur! Such a spectacle was usually reserved for the most significant state affairs that occurred over long periods.

Most people were filled with confusion regarding the Da Xia official's move. However, some intelligent netizens had already glimpsed much of the secret.

The state speaking out at this time was clearly in response to the Western press conference that revealed the truth. Since it was a response, this commendation conference would definitely not be simple!

It would inevitably involve those invading monsters, as well as the magic that current science could not explain.

Furthermore, proposing 'People's Heroes' at this time, would these heroes be similar to the self-proclaimed superheroes of the West? If so, did our country possibly have powerful superhumans too?

Thinking of this, the intelligent netizens could no longer sit still. Who wouldn't like to see their nation shine and their country stand out among its peers?

"Here it comes, our Da Xia has spoken!"

"October 10th, isn't that tomorrow? The scale looks huge, but I'm a bit confused, I've never heard of this People's Hero Commendation Conference before!"

"You guys just don't understand! The West wants to call them superheroes, that sense of superiority over ordinary people is the fundamental ideology of their elite capitalism. Our Da Xia is different; no matter how powerful a super-soldier is, they come from the people and fight to protect the people. Therefore, ours are called People's Heroes!"

"Does that mean our People's Heroes are warriors with terrifying abilities similar to the Western super-soldiers? Great, great! Imperial Capital People's Square, setting off now!"

"Holy crap! Instantly understood!"

"So excited! This is our Da Xia, silent for years but astonishing when it acts! Buy tickets, buy tickets!"

"Stupid people are still babbling here, the smart ones have already bought their tickets and are back to watch you scramble for tickets!"

"Holy crap! Who bought all the bullet train tickets? There are no regular train tickets either! What kind of person does this?"

...

Under the intentional guidance of the officials and the precise speculations of many extremely intelligent netizens, the true purpose of the People's Hero Commendation Conference during this special period was gradually unearthed by the public.

Before long, the popularity of this Da Xia news surpassed that of the Western press conference. The public's shock and envy towards the West slowly transformed into boundless anticipation for their own country.

In Country R and Country Han, upon receiving Da Xia's message, they almost simultaneously released national news, also deciding to reveal the truth along with Da Xia at the same time.

Online public opinion and national sentiment were slowly brought back under the control of the three countries' officials.

However, one point that caused some headache for the three countries was that the focus of attention on the Eastern Alliance always revolved around Bai Ye.

Not long after Da Xia's news broke, netizens began to think of Bai Ye again.

"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's commendation conference, but I'm more eager to know if Brother Ye will be present."

"Brother Ye's influence is so huge! I think he should also be present at such an occasion tomorrow."

"If they really plan to go public, I hope they'll be thorough and reveal Bai Ye's background as well."

"I think the probability of him appearing is not high. After all, tomorrow is a commendation for heroes. Although Bai Ye is very famous, he's largely confined to the entertainment circle. If I may be so bold, actors are far from worthy of such a stage!"

...

For a time, the topic of Bai Ye once again ignited a "bloody storm" on the internet!

Lone Star Villa.

Hou Ying, while watching the news, was weaving exquisite pavilions and terraces with bamboo slips, each one delicate and unique!

"It's been announced? Aren't you afraid... of being treated as an anomaly?" Hou Ying asked.

"It doesn't matter."

Bai Ye looked around. Only Hou Ying was present. Da Peng, Gou Dan, and Xiao Fantuan were probably out bothering the small animals in the ranch.

Hearing Bai Ye's indifferent words, Hou Ying shook her head slightly. If he truly didn't care, he wouldn't be holding this program, which he considered "unnecessary."

"Master! Master! Come quickly!"

Just as the living room was about to fall into silence, Da Peng's voice suddenly came from outside the yard, sounding very excited.
