"Qian Shasha's third team," Jiang Ye continued, his authoritative voice resonating throughout the hall. "Your team needs to cooperate closely with the representatives from Rongping Star."
Keyboard sounds echoed from another side of the venue as the combat members of the third team began taking notes.
"Your main job is to understand Rongping Star's online culture and local memes," Jiang Ye stated.
"The work direction is also very simple: use crawler software to scrape the databases of major apps on Rongping Star, then search for commonly used words. Look at popular videos and high-selling games on Rongping Star. Infiltrate large forums with many users and lurk to observe how people on Rongping Star communicate," Jiang Ye explained. "The Rongping Star delegation will be there for a long time, and they can also tell you what memes are popular and what old sayings are common. List the common memes and keywords, explain them clearly and concisely, and share them with other teams."
"Once you have results, you need to verify them promptly. For example, if you learn a meme like 'Xiao Hei Zi reveals his chicken feet,' Jiang Ye paused. "Then use your accounts to spread this meme everywhere and see how quickly it gains likes and what people say in their replies. If the effect is good, prioritize this meme. When you share meme information with other groups, you should create a ranking, with the most common memes at the front and the least common at the back."
"There is a special task here, which is to integrate and create memes," Jiang Ye emphasized. "That is to say, integrate our operational objectives into the local memes of Rongping Star, create new memes, and make them popular."
"Let's focus on our operational objectives first, and everyone needs to understand them clearly. All our methods are for these few objectives."
"First, make the people of Rongping Star believe a truth: only with gun control can there be good public order; without gun control, there are daily shooting incidents. This also aligns with Rongping Star's current direct work."
"Second, feed conspiracy theories to the self-proclaimed intelligent people of Rongping Star. For example, the governor of a certain continent on Rongping Star wants to seize Zhang Qiongshi's position, hence inciting riots under the guise of anti-gun control. For example, gun companies, to protect their interests, pay people to organize riots. This is not really a conspiracy theory, as it is true, but ordinary people on Rongping Star do not know it yet, have never heard of it."
"Third, make the people of Rongping Star trust the Jiang Ye Army. At this very moment, the First Star Conquest Army on the front line is air-dropping troops into the riot cities. Our actions have received the support of Zhang Qiongshi, but we still need the support of public opinion."
"Fourth, make the people of Rongping Star support the Jiang Ye Army in using violent means to suppress the riots. What effect should be achieved? The netizens of the entire planet should voice their support for the Jiang Ye Army, hoping that the Jiang Ye Army will go on a killing spree, eliminate terrorists, and restore peace and order as soon as possible."
"These four objectives should be spread through meme creation and integration. It is best to create memes. If memes cannot be created, creating some easily understandable slogans is also acceptable," Jiang Ye said. "Remember, being easily understandable is very important. The more easily understandable it is, the more netizens will understand and support it."
Keyboard sounds continued to fill the venue.
The Rongping Star representatives also wrote with rustling sounds.
"Alexia's second team," Jiang Ye said. "Your mission is to create materials to smear the enemy."
"There are many ways to smear the enemy. Alexia is a teacher in this regard at the special agent school, so she should understand better than I do. Therefore, I will only mention a few points here."
"For example, exaggerate malicious incidents," Jiang Ye said. "News reports that rioters in a gun-controlled city are shooting indiscriminately on the streets. You should repost and promote this news fiercely, mentioning it on various platforms."
"Another example is fabricating materials, in other words, creating fakes. It is now easy to create images and videos with AI. You can even use movie sets for live shoots. Film rioters shooting children, film rioters secretly discussing how to incite riots, film rioters smiling when receiving money," Jiang Ye said. "This part should be combined with conspiracy theories."
"Also, create meme images. Once you have memes, meme images are easy to make. It's possible to make thousands in half an hour. Uglify the rioters and spread them all over the internet. For the human brain, visual memory is more vivid than textual memory."
"Set up a donation website, or even create a donation-extortion virus," Jiang Ye said. "The stated purpose of the donation is to support anti-gun control, and we hope you will definitely donate money. Use such despicable and disgusting methods to provoke the aversion of neutral parties."
"Finally, of course, you must closely monitor the enemy's reactions and changes in their rhetoric, and then counter them accordingly. The war cannot be fought blindly; be flexible," Jiang Ye said. "Your team has a heavier task, so Alexia is in charge. She is an expert in this area. Learn from her; this is an important internship experience."
A low chuckle rippled through the audience, quickly drowned out by the continuous clatter of keyboards.
"The closing team, Xu Hongwei's first team, you are the true main force," Jiang Ye said. "Your task is to clearly and unequivocally promote our objectives, present evidence, list data, and state facts, creating the impression that you are the truth."
"Don't be rigid in your promotion. Follow the popular culture of Rongping Star's internet. Speak in an easily understandable way, but without losing professionalism. Achieve a state where insiders can see the depth and find no fault, outsiders can enjoy the spectacle without fully understanding, and everyone can watch happily."
"You need to proceed on two tracks: an overt and a covert track."
"The covert track is to use our newly created fake accounts, pretend to be locals of Rongping Star, and express our attitudes online."
"The overt track is to contact already famous individuals on Rongping Star, whether they are well-known internet bloggers or celebrities, as long as they have more fans," Jiang Ye said. "I will allocate special funds for you. Persuade these celebrities to speak out. If they are unwilling, use a financial offensive. If they are still unwilling after receiving money, blacklist them and hand over the list to the Rongping Star delegation."
"Alright, the tasks are announced. Next, let's talk about bonuses."
The rumbling sound of keyboards in the venue quickly diminished significantly. Many people looked up, while others pretended to work while secretly listening.
"Your work on the computers has time tracking. Note that it's effective duration, meaning time is counted when you perform valid operations. If you just have the screen on or click randomly, it won't be counted," Jiang Ye said. "Settlement is on weekends, and the rate is two hundred yuan per hour."
"During your work, tasks will be continuously issued, and there will be corresponding bonuses for each task completed. For example, creating a topic that reaches the top five trending topics will earn a bonus of two million yuan. Successfully changing the direction of a certain app will earn ten million yuan. Banning an opponent's account will earn five yuan, and maintaining one of your own accounts daily will also earn five yuan."
"These small task rewards will be very frequent. Almost all the work you do will have task rewards. Our logistics team is developing a dedicated task reward and punishment system. When everyone is working, you will see the real-time display of bonus growth in the lower right corner. I believe that real money can inject some adrenaline into everyone."
