Chapter 382 - 357: Global Fat People Gather at Xuanfeng Alliance

Chapter 382: Chapter 357: Global Fat People Gather at Xuanfeng Alliance

In the days that followed, things in the Xuanfeng Alliance became quite lively, and it once again became the focus of international attention.

This was because an increasing number of international celebrities began appearing in the Xuanfeng Alliance.

These celebrities were all large and overweight—the very same ones who had previously thanked the Xuanfeng Alliance and promoted the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion internationally.

This drew the gazes of countless people toward the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Especially those who were overweight.

Losing weight has always been a painful struggle.

This is especially true for those who seem to gain weight just by drinking water.

They simply couldn’t shed the pounds.

Some, out of desperation, resorted to surgery.

But surgery always comes with many risks and side effects.

Moreover, not everyone could afford to have such surgery, to say nothing of the financial cost, time off from work, and other issues.

They had been paying attention to the Xuanfeng Alliance for a while now.

After all, the posts from the overweight celebrities clearly proved that the Xuanfeng Alliance’s nutritional potion was incredibly effective.

At the very least, every one of them had slimmed down considerably.

The key was that they achieved these results in just one week. Naturally, countless overweight people began to take notice, wanting to learn more about the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion.

But when they inquired about the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion, they discovered it hadn’t been released at all. They had no way to investigate it, and there was no supply available for purchase.

All they could do was wait.

They had been following the news closely, so they immediately learned that the Xuanfeng Alliance had invited those overweight celebrities to attend the nutritional potion’s press conference.

Now, more and more of these overweight celebrities were heading to the Xuanfeng Alliance.

’Does this mean the Xuanfeng Alliance is about to release the nutritional potion?’

’If so, does that mean I’ll be able to buy the nutritional potion soon, too?’

Indeed, the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion’s press conference was just around the corner.

And just then, the Xuanfeng Alliance released an announcement that sent a thrill of excitement through every overweight person.

At the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion press conference, 100,000 cases of the nutritional potion will be sold on-site. Furthermore, 1,000 lucky winners will be drawn to receive a free weight-loss treatment course. The event will be held at the New Seaport Beach Tourism Area in Bo Asia.

This news was destined to be a bombshell and stir up a frenzy among the overweight community internationally.

And that’s exactly what happened.

「Dragon Country.」

Lately, Chen Lu had lost all appetite for food and drink. She was constantly glued to her phone, checking for news about the Xuanfeng Alliance’s nutritional potion.

She was overweight. Her father was the boss of a large company, so she had grown up in luxury, eating well. With no concept of restraint as a child, her body had grown wider as she got older.

Eventually, she reached the point where she seemed to gain weight just by drinking water.

This caused her great distress.

Although her family would tell her, "So what if you’re a little heavy? Our family has money; it’ll be easy to find an excellent man."

And she had indeed dated several handsome boyfriends—she had a thing for good looks—but while these boyfriends liked her, they also liked other women.

Or rather, while they liked her money, they also liked other women, using the money she gave them to spend on those other women.

She simply couldn’t accept that kind of relationship.

She knew it was all because of her overweight figure.

She was supposed to be a "pale, rich, and beautiful" catch, but because of all this fat, she had become a free ATM for other people’s girlfriends.

She desperately wanted to change her situation, but there were no effective weight-loss methods. She had even tried liposuction, but the weight came back not long after.

Her situation was a bit like that of the international singer, Griss. So, after accidentally seeing the promotion Griss had posted, she had been keeping a close eye on news from the Xuanfeng Alliance.

’If the Xuanfeng Alliance’s product is really that effective, it can definitely save me.’

When she saw the announcement from the Xuanfeng Alliance on her phone, she leaped up from her bed. The bed, as if bearing an unbearable weight, let out a series of loud CREAKS.

She hurriedly grabbed her phone, logged onto a ticket booking website, and bought a plane ticket to Xuanfeng Alliance International Airport.

It wasn’t just Chen Lu. As soon as the Xuanfeng Alliance’s announcement came out, it thrilled countless overweight people around the world. In a short time, airlines with routes to the Xuanfeng Alliance, or even to neighboring regions, were left dumbfounded.

Tickets were inexplicably snatched up in a very short period. And when it came time to board, the passengers, one after another, were all large-framed and heavyset.

The flight attendants watched with faces full of worry.

’Can the plane even handle this?’

Some flight attendants even cautiously filed reports.

And so, in a short span of time, following the wave of celebrity visitors, a new tide of overweight people from all over the world began rushing to the Xuanfeng Alliance.

「Wind Manor.」

At a tea table sat Baguda, Lu Feng, and Yasna. Standing nearby was Liu Hai, who had been brought in to run operations at the New Seaport.

On the screen in front of them, footage from the Xuanfeng Alliance airport was playing. Most of the people emerging from all corners of the airport were overweight.

They were all people who wanted to buy the product at the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion press conference or become one of the 1,000 to receive a free weight-loss treatment course.

Now, even ordinary people wanting to come to the Xuanfeng Alliance had to compete with the overweight crowds for tickets.

As more and more overweight people streamed out of the Xuanfeng Alliance airport, it was becoming quite a spectacular sight.

Liu Hai, standing nearby, explained, "Right now, all connecting flights and buses to the Boya District are fully booked. Many of the overweight visitors will be stuck here in Wind Capital, which will also help boost the city’s prosperity."

"Furthermore, the beach tourism area at New Seaport has already opened for business. Many of the overweight visitors who arrived in Boya went straight to the beach area and have already spent a lot of money."

"The super-cruiser that Vice Governor Baguda had ordered has also arrived and is now open for tours. It’s attracted a huge number of visitors, and the ship’s staterooms, restaurants, supermarkets... all its functions are now operational."

Baguda and Yasna nodded from time to time as they listened to Liu Hai’s report.

This was because the announcements the Xuanfeng Alliance released after the celebrities’ arrival had all been Liu Hai’s idea. The current "tide of the overweight" in the Xuanfeng Alliance was also his handiwork.

Baguda and Yasna were both very pleased with this.

Lu Feng’s brow, however, furrowed slightly. He had just heard a message from Xiaozhi: "Master, another spy has been detected. The subject has checked into a hotel and is also posing as one of the overweight visitors."

Hearing this, Lu Feng was exasperated. ’What the hell? We’ve got quite a few spies this time, and the crazy thing is, they’re all overweight. One of them is over 330 pounds... a spy like that? Are they messing with me?’

Having finished his report, Liu Hai extended an invitation to the three of them. "Governor, Vice Governors, we can head over to New Seaport now and take a look in person."

Baguda and Yasna looked eager, and both turned to Lu Feng.

"Let’s go, then," Lu Feng nodded, not wanting to spoil their enthusiasm.

So, the four of them left the manor hall. Lu Feng had Black Snake arrange for a helicopter, which then flew them to the Boya District.

After the journey, the four of them first stayed overnight in the Boya District before heading to the New Seaport Beach Tourism Area together.

As soon as they arrived, Baguda and Yasna were captivated by the resort. They could hardly believe that Liu Hai and his team had built it in just half a month.

A natural seawater bathing area had been constructed along the 15-kilometer stretch of coast, enclosed by various types of attractive floating barriers.

Moreover, Liu Hai had clearly arranged for the beach here to be specially treated. As a result, the sand was soft, the tide gentle, the beach wide, the water clear, the breeze refreshing, and the air dust-free.

Lush green belts of ornamental trees had also been planted along the shore, all of them mature trees purchased at great expense.

Shady green trees, a summer that feels like spring, and a pleasant coolness—this perfectly described the entire beach resort.

It absolutely met the standards for a world-class coastal tourist destination.

The ocean, beach, air, sun, and greenery, combined with sea bathing, rows of lounge chairs and umbrellas, and facilities for sunbathing and sand bathing.

There was also a full range of simple recreational facilities, such as surfboards, jet skis, sailboats, floating bridges, water jetpacks... you name it.

Most crucial, of course, were the functional areas like the beachside cafes, rest areas, sightseeing spots, and viewing platforms.

Flowerbeds, minimalist architecture, seaside pavilions, fountains, and sculptures served as embellishments, making it even more attractive.

Baguda and Yasna had never seen this kind of beach resort before.

Lu Feng, however, had. It was as if some of the famous beach resorts from his home country had been transplanted here, though with many unique Xuanfeng Alliance features added in.

The most important thing was that the coast here was far from the hustle and bustle of cities and industrial zones. The seawater was completely unpolluted, the sea and sky met at the horizon, and the water was a natural, clear blue.

This was its advantage.

Why were there so many seaside tourist cities, yet none could compare to places like Sanya or Hawaii? It was because of these natural conditions.

"Governor, this beach resort has been developed wonderfully."

"Yes, it’s hard to believe this was all done in half a month."

This was also a compliment to Liu Hai.

Lu Feng also looked at Liu Hai and praised him, "Good work. Keep it up."

"Rest assured, Governor, I won’t let you down." Liu Hai immediately promised, breathing a sigh of relief at the same time. He knew he had passed the test and that a great future lay ahead for him.

He said that last part because he was also from the Dragon Country. The Governor had him recruited from the Dragon Country, so if he didn’t do well, it wouldn’t be just his own reputation on the line.

Just as Lu Feng’s group was admiring the resort’s beach, an inconspicuous little boat was lingering on the sea in the distance. Onboard, someone was also watching the beach resort through a pair of binoculars.

"Are we really going to make a move when the time comes?"

"Why not? This is a perfect opportunity."

"That’s right. If we pull this job off, we can retire right after."
