MTLNOVEL Chapter 1107: What Can I Give Him?
Joe Ga led a group of journalists into the occupied area of the Mukalla Western Region for a tour, focusing on the mercenary camp, hospitals, and schools inside.
Those advertising mercenaries have been in the spotlight lately...
They use action cameras to attack the resistant terrorists and mercenaries in the city, and then professionals edit and narrate the videos.
Boss Qiao had someone set up a dedicated online platform, where all battle and lifestyle videos about Yemen are displayed.
On the first day of the website's launch, there were nearly 20 million registered members.
It's well-known that the most expensive part of video websites is actually the cost of copyrights and traffic driving, while hardware is the cheapest aspect.
Boss Qiao utilized the media frenzy to drive traffic himself, and sponsors, eager to advertise, provided the finished videos for free on the site.
Pure battle videos can easily induce viewer fatigue, so the website has several other sections.
Most people wouldn't have expected that the highest click rate wasn't from those sponsors' battle videos, but rather from the soldier selection show in Rio de Janeiro...
If a city is a jungle of steel, then the Rocinha Slum is the primeval forest, and those who come from all over the world to participate in the P·B test are like jungle survivors.
The recruitment of P·B soldiers has actually ended, but to satisfy those who came from around the world, the Rocinha Training Camp was retained.
There are many legends about mercenary training camps, with the Siberia Training Camp and the Venezuelan Hunter Training Camp being among the best-known.
Now there's a new one: the Rocinha Training Camp!
To be honest, the P·B's level 5 salary standard doesn't require much from soldiers, but once people recognize the strength of P·B, they naturally accept their standards.
Thus, participating in the selection and training of the Rocinha Training Camp became the best stepping stone for many unemployed veterans, and even ordinary people looking for work with a 'degree'.
Now, not only are major mercenary companies doing this, but many large security companies have stationed people in Rio, all just to recruit more excellent talents.
The person in charge in Rio is Frester, who's willing to go to any lengths for publicity...
He selects a few promising candidates from each batch of trainees, then has a cameraman follow them throughout, and when they complete their three-month rigorous training, Frester tags them with a price and recommends them to various companies.
A Chinese delivery company named Fast Rabbit secured 3 top candidates from the first batch of graduates for an annual salary of $150,000 each, not only making this newly established multinational delivery company in Brazil famous but also greatly increasing the training camp's prestige.
Job-seeking reality shows have always been popular around the world, and Frester took advantage of this to pull in sponsors, inviting several large companies each time as an observer group, who would compete for the best part of the graduates.
The camp's fervor is still largely limited to the professional realm, but what makes it hugely popular among netizens is the constant emergence of overly confident individuals who become the stars of slapstick comedy.
A few Peninsula fellows finally lined up to pass the selection, only to go out celebrating at night and 'accidentally' wander into a nightclub set up by a gang...
Not only were they stripped of all their money, but they also contracted herpes...
The most comedic material in this world is a normal person in an abnormal place, or an abnormal person in a normal place...
The Rocinha Slum and the Rocinha Training Camp conveniently provide the setting, giving these diverse personalities a stage.
With the old hand Frester in control, all sorts of trouble start popping up as long as no one gets killed.
A rookie soldier came to Rio full of ideals, couldn't even make it to the training field before a fateful encounter led to him being accused of rape by a woman with a child.
In the end, somehow, that guy was dressed up in a suit by a few gangsters, sent into a church to marry the woman, becoming a live-in son-in-law in Ronisia.
A few Chinese retired soldiers, who couldn't speak the language, just wanted to get in touch with international mercenary companies to learn some advanced experience.
But soon after arriving, because one of them bore some resemblance to Boss Qiao, fate handed each of them a wife with kids...
These guys never even entered the training camp and ended up opening a restaurant selling boxed meals on the outskirts of Rocinha, just opposite the training camp, and business is surprisingly good!
There are many similar stories...
P·B's controlled areas, where societal norms differ somewhat from those of normal society...
Previously, outsiders entering these areas were at risk, but now, initiated by Frester, Rocinha has become an example for everyone.
A normal person entering an abnormal place can, by careful management, give rise to many amusing stories or incidents.
Professional media filming isn't needed; locals can shoot short videos with their phones, which once viewed, can earn money and spread the word — what a wonderful thing...
Additionally, foreign regulation on borderline content is far too lax, and in Brazil, a passionate world where girls aren't fond of wearing clothes, that's all too common...
