“Fellow brothers and sisters of the Salvation Society.
As of today, it has officially been six months since the establishment of our Salvation Society. In terms of years, the Salvation Society is about to celebrate its first half-year...”
“To be honest, it still feels like a dream to me. Looking back, even as the founder of the Salvation Society, I still feel a sense of unreality.”
As Number 1 spoke these empty but soothing opening remarks with a smile.
As expected, the entire hall erupted in a burst of accommodating laughter.
With the emergence of this laughter.
The tension brought about by the recent conflict between the Salvation Society and the Donghua City government, coupled with Guan Lingwei's issuance of a top-priority meeting at this sensitive moment, immediately dissipated by more than half...
This was exactly the effect Number 1 wanted.
When people are too nervous or too focused on one thing, their emotions are not easily stirred.
They will notice many details, their brains will operate rationally, and they may even become wary of others guiding their emotions, thus greatly increasing the difficulty of guiding them into another emotional state.
Therefore, throughout history, almost all of the world's top speakers have avoided diving straight into the topic at the beginning of their speeches. Instead, they use seemingly useless opening remarks or ordinary greetings to mentally connect with the audience and reduce their psychological defenses.
As the atmosphere shifted.
Number 1 further spoke some innocuous words.
Until everyone's minds began to relax and the atmosphere in the entire hall began to lighten up...
The previously smiling Number 1 suddenly changed his tone.
“Yes, without a doubt, the Salvation Society is just a nascent organization. Its existence is even shorter than most student associations in Donghua University and Nankai University, both vocational universities for professionals. Precisely for this reason, we have always been labeled as a 'student army.' Even though we possess strength far greater than ordinary battle groups, we still lack the corresponding power in the Federation.”
“Of course, we don't need to care about the opinions of the outside world, nor do we ever need so-called power to prove ourselves! Because in the past short six months, we have already created achievements that are far beyond what those so-called power holders and so-called successful people can achieve in their entire lives!”
“First, we have become the largest student organization and even the largest independent professional organization in the world! As of now, our Salvation Society already has over eighty thousand official members!”
“We have formed two battle groups. From now on, any Salvation Society member who graduates from the Salvation Society will be able to directly join a battle group, qualifying them to become a powerful and respected professional!”
“In the past three months, our battle groups have carried out a total of sixty-two pioneering missions! The human safe zones we have reclaimed and the monster nests and monster lords we have destroyed are comparable to the pioneering achievements of a B-grade battle group in the same amount of time!”
“We have built a large number of war weapon laboratories and developed thousands of war weapon factories! We purchase standard equipment sets and distribute them free of charge to all Salvation Society members who meet the standards! In less than half a year, our Salvation Society has already achieved complete parity and even surpassed A-grade battle groups! The world's top investment institutions and consortia are waving large amounts of banknotes, begging me to let them become a part of the Salvation Society!!”
“And all of this, we only used half a year, only a short half a year!!”
One by one.
The achievements of the Salvation Society were constantly transmitted throughout the hall from Number 1's increasingly impassioned voice.
Following Number 1's words.
The screen behind the rostrum, serving as a backdrop, also began to play various scenes of the Salvation Society! From the gathering of the Salvation Society's personnel to the heroic posture of forming battle groups, and then to countless figures wearing red swastika-emblazoned robes fearlessly charging towards the monsters in the wilderness!
The edited short film, filled with excitement, was played through deafening high-powered amplifiers, entering everyone's ears! Almost instantly, the faces of the Salvation Society members in the entire hall began to involuntarily flush with a surge of excitement!
“We have created several world-first records!”
“Since the arrival of wilderness monsters on Blue Star and the awakening of the first human professional to challenge the wilderness! Never has any professional force been able to accomplish such a great undertaking in such a short period of time!”
“We are full of fighting spirit, we have unlimited potential, and we have a future that can be described as limitless! And we are also going all out to realize the great goal of changing the world and reshaping human glory! Selflessly and without asking for anything in return!”
“But!! There is always a group of corrupt people! Attempting to forever control everything! Forever trampling us underfoot!!”
