Chapter 1266 Personal IP and Fan Effect

By the time the lights in the arena were turned on, Hei Shisan had already launched an attack on Ling Donglai.

In the eyes of the audience, the sharp and explosive sword light instantly enveloped the entire venue, and under the interwoven sword net, Ling Donglai dodged nimbly while using his palm strength to continuously destroy the blind spots with sword light!

The fight between the two sides became intense in the first confrontation, but people like Qin Fan had already seen that the two were still in the trial stage.

In other words, due to the attribute of the Blood Demon Arena - fair competition, Ling Donglai, whose strength has been weakened and suppressed in all aspects, is adapting to his own changes, and Hei Shisan has not taken the opportunity to expand his advantage. Instead, he is waiting to help the other party get familiar with the changes in his body as quickly as possible.

It's just that this kind of confrontation becomes extremely entertaining to the audience.

"You've adjusted your mentality pretty well." Qin Fan commented.

After all, it is not a fight to the death between the two parties, and this kind of competition is inherently entertaining, so when one party is suppressed by the other party's gorgeous appearance, it is possible that some emotional impact will occur.

Coupled with the enthusiastic support from the audience, some warriors with awkward personalities may be at a disadvantage of 10% to 20% in combat power from the start.

But Ling Donglai quickly broke free from this restless mood.

Even though nearly 70% of the audience were cheering for Black Thirteen, he was able to calm down and was not in a hurry to prove himself. Instead, he adapted faster to the current changes in strength.

This fair competition attribute does not mean that both sides will be on a truly absolutely fair level.

The only suppression it can achieve is weakening of the body, restriction of the soul, and partial sealing of the Dharma rules. However, for an extremely experienced warrior, he can easily defeat an opponent of the same level just by relying on the body's instinctive response.

Even combatants like Feng Mo and Xue Wuxia who are extremely talented and have strong practical combat abilities can only defeat opponents who are superior to them by one major realm, such as surpassing two realms or three realms.

Unless the opponent is a waste who is fed by resources, even if facing an ordinary warrior, the winning rate will be no more than 10%.

But at present, since Hei Shisan and Ling Donglai are at the same level, the difference in suppression effect will not be too obvious. In this competitive state, it is also relatively fair.

At this moment, in the box where Qin Fan is.

There weren't actually many people watching the fight seriously. After confirming that both sides were still in the exploratory stage, Qin Fan focused most of his attention on the inheritance of the branding technique, while Leng Hanyi kept his eyes on the two cute babies.

As for Xiaofeng and Xiaotao, they were the ones who watched the game most attentively in the box.

After eating the cake, the former lay down in front of the transparent barrier set up in the box, watching the battle on the field with burning eyes, his eyes filled with strong eagerness and desire.

The latter was as excited as the audience and cheered for Hei Shisan.

She should have recognized Ling Donglai's identity. After all, the Taoist robe was very obvious. But perhaps because the other party's appearance was too sloppy and far less handsome than Hei Shisan's, the little girl decisively chose the cooler one.

The last one was Ning Xiaoyao. After realizing that both sides were testing each other, he looked at the cheering audience around him with interest.

"You seem to be thinking about some weird things again."

Qin Fan paid a little attention to Ning Xiaoyao.

Ning Xiaoyao smiled innocently and said.

“No, no, I’m just a little curious about why the Uncrowned Killing King would adapt to the rules of the Blood Demon Arena and choose such a conspicuous way to appear. You know, he used to be an assassin, and even his true appearance was only revealed in recent days.

I always thought he was a gloomy old man.

I guess his personality isn't that flamboyant."

"So you have the answer?"

"Maybe it's because it's profitable." Ning Xiaoyao signaled with his eyes the audience who were holding banners, some of whom were wearing the same hooded costume as Hei Shisan.

"I knew before that the Ghost Market and the Undead had a deep collaboration and had even developed corresponding fan collection products. Now it seems that this is more related to what the saying goes, right, the fan economy and celebrity effect."

Qin Fan looked at Ning Xiaoyao with some surprise. He didn't expect that the other party had such a deep understanding of such matters.

In fact, the development of the Ghost Market was very ordinary in the beginning, and the transformation and utilization of fame were mostly placed on Qin Fan, the Ghost Lord. Like the previous Five Wonders of the Ghost Market, many people only knew their titles but did not know their specific appearances and abilities.

It was only after Qin Fan granted secondary permissions to Feng Xueyue and the other two that he did it in order to expand the influence of Feng Mo and Yue Piaoling, and also to increase the value in the reputation column on their panels.

Therefore, there is the creation of reputation for specific people.

It just so happened that at this time the exploiter realized that the real estate business had reached a bottleneck, or that the number of players in the third test was not enough to support his greater ambitions. So after he learned about this project through high-level information channels, he began to volunteer.

This also laid a solid foundation for the subsequent establishment of a large number of factories throughout Nanxuan Prefecture.

The products produced by this factory include a large number of fan-made replicas and collectibles for fans.

This also made Xia Jinyu, who has a keen business sense, discover one thing, that is, fame can really be monetized to a certain extent, and under certain reasonable operations, it can even use this fame and fortune to expand one's own public opinion effect.

This also led to further development of personal branding.

Hei Shisan is one of the beneficiaries who enjoys this exclusive privilege of the brand. First of all, as a swordsman, he is handsome enough. Secondly, as a man with the title of the Uncrowned King of Killing, he is both handsome and cold.

Finally, as a person with lofty aspirations, he hopes to help others become rich by making them rich first.

The original wish was to improve the public's impression of killers and assassins as being like sewer rats, or to say that when the people in this group tried to whitewash themselves, they could truly break away from the past and have a relatively peaceful rest of their lives.

This has basically been accomplished after the establishment of the Ghost Market.

With the successful integration of the Ye Mansion, coupled with the job transfers of some killers and assassins, and as the Ghost Market becomes more and more powerful and has a higher deterrent effect, those retired killers and assassins will be able to get a retirement position.

However, with the great changes in the world, or the arrival of a time of great strife, the wish for a peaceful retirement life will naturally change.

After all, for a warrior with average qualifications, being able to reach the Tongmai Realm is almost the limit of his life, and the Xiantian Realm that breaks through the upper limit of life is something that more than 90% of warriors can only dream of but cannot reach. But nowadays, as long as one works a little harder, the threshold of the Xiantian Realm will not be an obstacle.

This also means that the upper limit of one's lifespan will double. The longer one lives, the higher one's demands will naturally be. Whether it is the further pursuit of strength or the desire for a better quality of life, more financial resources will inevitably be needed to support it.

But for most killers, the benefits brought by the retirement position are not enough to support them to enjoy a more comfortable life. Moreover, with the streamlining of the selection of combatants in the Ghost Market, only some people with extremely high qualifications can continue to be listed in the killer sequence of the Ghost Stack.

This has resulted in a difficult job transfer process for a large number of people.

Hei Shisan felt compassion again when he saw this. It just so happened that he came across a personal brand project to be developed in Guishi, which naturally required a large number of people to carry out the corresponding management, including the production of fan products and even the launch of corresponding movie IPs.

What he needs to do is to win over his fans with a relatively elegant and flamboyant attitude on some occasions.

As for other matters, the corresponding personnel will be responsible for them.

This is only an act that is relatively conspicuous in the eyes of a very small number of people, but it can bring huge benefits. For Hei Shisan, who was once known as the Uncrowned Killing Emperor but was actually a cowardly rat, it is too easy for him to make a choice.

Judging from its current fame and economic output, it has been ranked tenth in Ghost City, and is even on par with Qiao Baxian of the Four Seas Gang.

Don’t think that this tenth place is not high enough. In fact, it is not easy for him to get this position.

First of all, Qin Fan, Feng Mo and Yue Piaoling naturally occupy the top three places. For example, in the players' forums, the messy fan fictions written by the three of them occupy 70% of the relevant content.

Among them there is a guy called [Mo Fan Yisheng Push], who is directly honored by players as the God of Danmei because of his outstanding literary talent, heart-stirring plot rhythm, and extremely amazing and brain-stirring content.

Many of her articles were copied and circulated offline, which also kept Qin Fan and Feng Mo at a very high level of popularity.

Yue Piaoling, who joined later, was also described by this big shot as the number one most handsome male supporting character, who appeared gentle and considerate, but was vicious and sinister in his heart, which made him firmly occupy the third position, so that it was difficult for those below to catch up.

When Yue Piaoling saw these articles for the first time, he went crazy and looked for this guy everywhere, wanting to delete his account a hundred times.

Xue Wuxia: Meow meow meow???

As for the next candidate, the fourth one is Liu Lisha, she is in charge of the entertainment aspect and is also one of the main promoters of this personal brand development. As a member who joined the Ghost Market midway, she needs fame to support her.

In addition, as a woman known for her wealth and beauty, her face and proud figure are very attractive to men and some women, and her image as a career-oriented woman has made her an all-round killer.

The fifth is Xia Jinyu. His fame comes partly because of Liu Lisha and partly because of the copy that is extremely important to players.

The former is because the two sides have an open relationship, so many people jokingly call it killing Yu Gou and stealing Sasa, and the latter is because of the image of a big devil created in the two-star copy, Hunter and Prey, which was triggered at the beginning.

Anyone who wants to get in touch with the hidden plot will naturally have to deal with Xia Jinyu.

In the early stage when the ghost market has obviously not been established yet, Feng Mo, who is in the early stage of the Sky Control Realm, is not to be feared, and Qin Fan, who has not yet reached the Innate Realm, is even more of a rookie. But when the players form a team and are determined to attack the protagonist first.

They will find that they will be killed by Xia Jinyu in various ways.

Including Qin Fan's blackened line, he also relied on the barrier set up by Xia Jinyu, and cooperated with the Northern Barbarians to directly launch a blood sacrifice and kill all the enemies.

Before this, all players knew about Xia Jinyu was that he was a seemingly harmless businessman.

This sense of contrast will naturally attract a lot of players. After players pay a lot of attention to it, the spontaneous output of related fan-made product projects will also increase, which will affect the sensory impressions of a large number of local residents.

In fact, if we talk about the fame effect and economic output of the fan IPs in the current ghost market, the top ten are all the most popular among the player community, because the development of related fan IPs also needs to rely on players as the main backbone. After all, the local people are still in the stage of exploration and passive acceptance of such matters.

Therefore, this also requires players' genuine love and admiration for the player in order to maximize the efficiency of converting fame into economic benefits, just like the fan fiction master [Mo Fan's Lifelong Push].

And under Xia Jinyu is Wang Jingyu.

He is someone who has benefited from the influence of [Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy], or it can be said that the two of them have accomplished each other. Even though his strength is not ranked very high in the Ghost Market today, his popularity is firmly rooted in the sixth place.

Similarly, the seventh is Huang Tiangui, who is also the most respected village chief Ahuang by many first test players.

Although Taoyuan Village has now evolved into Taoyuan City, and has the possibility of super-evolving into Taoyuan Domain again, the image of the old village chief, who has the background of a hidden master and has repeatedly guided the first test players, remains.

He is the dream of a generation of people in the world.

After all, who doesn't want their village chief to be a great master with hidden strength, and then secretly give them a chance to help them reach the pinnacle of martial arts?

The eighth one is Gongshu Lian.

She is a master with uncompromising beauty, and the idiot is her most reluctant disciple. Her real age is unknown, but Mo Kaixin calls her "auntie", and she looks like a little loli holding a sledgehammer.

She is sharp-tongued and violent, and has a special talent for making anything she touches explode.

He himself admires the eternal charm of art, and the mecha he created can turn into a walking C4 bomb in minutes.

A very vicious stroke!

Then, after all these images were superimposed, the popularity exploded.

After all, who can resist a ferocious loli with twin pigtails who will make you explode if she touches you?

The ninth one is a character who has not appeared in hundreds of chapters, but his actual fame has always been high. Moreover, on some offline websites for players, his popularity surpasses Qin Fan's.

She is Gongsun Mei.

As for her characteristics, just three words.

Big! Smooth! Tender!

Unlike Yanagi Risa's beauty, which still has a sense of distance.

The terrifying thing about this woman is that just standing there she gives people an extremely vulgar yet friendly charm, especially now that she has become one of the Four Famous Detectives of the Six Gates. Her flying fish costume that is so tight that it holds her high directly brings a billion-fold all-killing effect.

Therefore, it is really not easy for Hei Shisan and Qiao Baxian, who are tied for tenth place, to occupy this position.

After all, Su Changqing, who was ranked 12th, didn't say anything. (End of this chapter)
