Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 784 - 501: Major Event_2

Someone had just finished ranting online, expressing their strong opposition and protest, then smoothly switched tabs to start snatching up hotel bookings.

If they couldn’t use it themselves, they could sell it at a high price to someone else!

With a flip of the hand, it could be a top-of-the-line smartphone!

In tightly regulated hotels, only a bit more paperwork was needed; in less strict places, not even paperwork was necessary.

Your stance on Meteorological Weapons was one thing, but interests were another.

Cursing is one thing, making money is another; for them, there was no conflict.

The attention to all weather-related accounts on various platforms soared.

Especially the leading accounts saw their follower numbers double, with the growth trend showing no signs of slowing down.

Weather marketing accounts, posting updates every few minutes, ranked high on hot search topics across platforms, all related to this big event.

Finally, amidst the anticipation of thousands, the authoritative media released confirmed news—

The world’s first public near-sea disaster weather meteorological strike test, targeting the upcoming typhoon "Sea Rabbit" making landfall in our country.

At that time, the authoritative official media would team up with multiple video and social platforms to stream live from the fourth observation station—Guanxi Station.

As soon as the news broke, it exploded like water poured on a grease fire.

Netizens excitedly clacked away on their keyboards.

Especially in the comment sections, those with IP addresses in or near Guansi Town were receiving extra high levels of attention.

[Booked! The world’s first! Meet up at Guanxi Station!]

[Guanxi Station? Is that the Guansi Town by the southern seashore?]

[A born and bred Guansi Towner here, never in a million years did I imagine our shabby town would get such an opportunity. I’m nearly overwhelmed with excitement; suddenly there are so many tourists, even foreigners!]

[Used to be, you’d get the odd tourist coming here to watch the sunrise, but if anyone told me to go to Guanxi Town to watch a typhoon, without saying a word, I’d smack them with some big smacks!]

[Knew a long time ago that they built a huge mushroom-shaped building back home, but nobody knew what it was for; we all thought it was just another frivolous show project that served no practical purpose. Now it all makes sense—a specialized observation station! Today it was unveiled, but they wouldn’t let us in, and there are a lot of security personnel outside.]

[No wonder they repaved several main roads in Guansi Town last year]

[Working outside, got a chain of calls from home to come back and help out; the streets are suddenly so crowded!]

Guanxi Town is a seaside town, not small but with average development and not much fame. Tourism has never been its forte.

But this time, those suitable residential houses in town have been converted into guest houses overnight, and the news that they can be rented has already been posted. They were snapped up as soon as they were listed.

With the typhoon "Sea Rabbit" being chosen as the first near-sea test target, and Guansi Town, situated near the landfall location and equipped with a specialized observation station, was the center of global attention!

Within an hour of the confirmation, let alone five-star hotels, any lodging that could be searched for on booking platforms was unreachable—even the battered little hotels couldn’t keep their phone lines open.

[My great uncle usually goes around selling fruit on his tricycle, but today he hadn’t even made it into town from the village when he sold out! Can you believe it? My great uncle’s whole family is dumbfounded!]

[A rags-to-riches story! Hooray for take-off!]

[No more stalls allowed tomorrow, the whole town has been notified by the authorities to go under complete area control; there’s half a day left to get ready. Strike now before it’s sealed off, set up a stall while you can!]

[Oh my god! The little store that sells daily necessities has been cleared out, even the warehouse! Hotels and guesthouses are sweeping up stocks, carting them away by the truckload!]

[It’s terrifying; who’s saying to flee? There are hardly any leaving town, I only see droves of people flooding into the town! Well, go on and flee!]

The "spectacle" truly had massive draw.

Besides, the celebrities and tycoons had all watched it, indicating that it wasn’t really that dangerous. Who would miss such an opportunity?

Those who were capable had already started to prepare and network. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

They didn’t qualify for the recent secret base’s first live demonstration, or they hadn’t seized the chance. But now on their own country’s soil and in front of more people, they had to grab an opportunity at the observation station at all costs! If they couldn’t beat the heavyweights, settling for a spot along the fringes would do!

Those who knew they couldn’t get a spot at the observation station also obtained information earlier than most people through various channels, even a minute earlier could be hugely beneficial, at least securing a better hotel reservation.

Today, not a single person in Guansi Town isn’t excited.

[No wonder there have been so many surprise inspections in town over the past six months, especially strict ones. We thought the new boss was just trying to make an initial impression, but now it seems there are bigger plans!]

[As a resident of Guansi, I saw someone on the trending search riding a bike towards the observation station. They were stopped, there are military personnel present, and they won’t allow anyone to get close, but there are so many helicopters in the sky! F**k, this is the first time I’ve seen so many helicopters in my life! Did they stir up a wasp’s nest or something!!]

[Live stream is up, my iron buddies, please come in, the era of riding the waves is here [Link]]

The people doing live streams and selling goods through short local videos in Guansi Town and surrounding cities and rural areas are hit by this windfall, laughing to tears and roaring with joy.

"I knew it! Heaven treats me well! Hahaha! It’s time to fulfill my dream!"

And what is that dream?

——To strike it rich!

Having already faced reality and about to give up, who would have guessed that a pie would suddenly fly right to their mouth? Not biting would be a disservice to their own hundred pounds of flesh!

Don’t say an opportunity only comes once, as long as the observation station is here, there will be many chances!

But this time is the most important, after all, when offering incense, everyone scrambles to be the first!

Being the first carries a different significance!

On national territories and to the public worldwide, this is the first time!

Some are thinking: if I can’t enter Guansi Town, then I can just stay nearby. With such a large typhoon, when deploying meteorological weapons, the range must be broad. Can’t I see from anywhere?

And then they find out—

The villages, towns, and counties near the coast are all guarded by troops.

It’s to ward off the crazy tourists and those who would venture into danger for the spectacle, both domestically and internationally.

At such times, only the military can be relied upon for security.

All branches of the military have deployed personnel. To secure this mission, the commanders at the top had already exchanged words, and even the old leaders who had retired a long time ago and spent their days fishing and gardening couldn’t sit still anymore.

Bargaining had already taken place out of sight.

Currently, the latest photos and videos taken by passersby are continuously uploaded online.

[Holy shit! Small towns and rural areas near Guansi are all filled with military personnel! The barricades are already up!]

[I just went to deliver something to my grandparents in the village. I looked outside for a while, and a bunch of drones got shot down!]

[Wow! Just now, a team that crossed the line to live stream got detained! I didn’t dare stay too long, snapped a few photos, make do with these guys [Image][Image][Image]...]

[Live stream starting! Live broadcast outside the barricades! Melon-eating iron buddies, join in [Link]]

Feng Yi, who had already watched a live broadcast... no, two live broadcasts, also received an invitation from Guanxi Station.

All domestic guests who had participated in the voting meeting were invited. According to the rules this time, the invitations were originally only for Yue Gongyang and Ji Fan from Ancestral Factory, but since Feng Yi’s identity was exposed, he, the "behind-the-scenes decision maker," also received a formal invitation.

Yue Gongyang and Ji Fan were not interested in attending, but Feng Yi was. Not just this time, but for all subsequent trials near the coast, he would attend as long as possible to observe and study.

Since he decided to go and watch, then the itinerary needed to be arranged.

Such events can’t be announced too far in advance, so once confirmed, preparation had to be made immediately.

Feng Yi, browsing information on his phone, said, "There will be many people heading to Guansi Town, today it’s just the locals, but by tomorrow, people from other parts of the country will be converging there, congestion is inevitable."

Jia, standing by his side, nodded in agreement. Although Yang City isn’t especially far from Guansi Town, and a drive wouldn’t normally take too long, under the current circumstances, what would usually be an hour’s journey might result in ten hours of traffic, and a two-hour trip could take up a whole day. Their drive from Yang City would take much more than two hours.

"Let’s fly over."
