Chapter 6: The Data Memory Method

Since the app existed solely for advertisements, as soon as he exited and the interface refreshed automatically, a brand-new ad jumped into view; coincidentally, it could also be said to meet the criteria he had been desperately seeking.

'The Data Memory Method, an ancient yet great and virtuous heritage, has endured countless ages; although it suffered significant blows and nearly lost all means of transmission, the ancients systematically integrated it until it formed a complete system.'

'While others still struggled with chaotic memories, some relied on this method to accomplish great endeavors; take Elder Qian, for instance, an outstanding representative of this technique—without its support, he could never have reached such heights, and his thoughts would only have become more tangled.'

'So, why not sign up and learn? Regardless of your innate talent, after our instruction, we will perfectly transmit this divine skill to you; this is possible because our team members are professionals with excellent teaching qualities; promoting learning together is the true path to prosperity and strength; what are you waiting for? Come, join us; the world needs your high-level skills to develop better!'

'The price is honest for both children and the elderly, absolutely genuine materials included; we also gift two indispensable masterpieces, "Economic Theory" and "The Heart of Investment," enabling you to navigate the world more skillfully.'

Rows upon rows of neat regular script appeared, packing the not-so-large phone screen densely; it could be called the most verbose advertisement he had ever seen, even touching upon some scientific theories to make it appear more realistic—if one's brain were truly a bit addled, one might actually believe it.

This sort of thing was a scam; if it weren't an experimental subject, he wouldn't even bother giving it a second thought; he hadn't expected to ever become obsessed with such unreliable ads, wondering if he was falling ill, yet the pain he felt earlier wasn't a false sensation but something he could genuinely perceive.

He decided not to dwell on these matters, unsure whether the current ad followed the same pattern as the previous one; although it worked quickly, exceeding his available funds would render it useless anyway.

His plan only accounted for that freely obtained 888 yuan; if the budget fell short, he would simply say goodbye, transform into a ruthless phone-swiping machine, and devise no other tricks; in three minutes, he would go out to eat regardless; eating was quite important after all; so what if there was no result? Could he not test again next time? His stomach was truly too hungry, so he wouldn't waste time struggling with it; he simply couldn't win this fight... thus, this was a tragic story.

Once he let go of these thoughts, he truly felt as though clouds had parted to reveal the sun, brimming with energy, as if he had opened the Ren and Du meridians, pacing about everywhere; he entered the ad expansion interface while using the toilet in the bathroom; if he hadn't been truly desperate, he wouldn't have attended to this at such a critical moment, preferring to complete his goal first.

"Friends who have entered, take a look; to learn the Data Memory Method, sincerity is crucial; perhaps you are a student or a corporate executive; neither affects our teaching, as our introduction constantly emphasizes that regardless of talent, once you pay the fee, we will safeguard your learning journey! We guarantee success in your studies; our reputation is absolutely assured; look, here is the qualification certificate, recognized even by the state; what are you still hesitating for? Click the link below, fill in your information, and sign up!"

Upon entering the ad, a short video popped up, playing automatically without needing a click; a balding man holding a microphone, wearing glasses, a tie, and a suit appeared; he extended his left hand, passionately expounding so-called great principles; when several sheets of paper appeared, he naturally took them, displaying one side to the screen while continuing his promotional speech unshakably.

Although he did not believe in this stuff, the boy still tapped the link location; as luck would have it,

the login interface popped up again, forcing him to comply; he hoped everything would proceed normally; after all, news of certain apps leaking information was widely circulated; although the security index wasn't high, he couldn't defy it; the settings were such that without completing the login, he couldn't even view anything now; sigh, this was troublesome; I am a person of principles, yet this is the first time!

After spending a few seconds to successfully register and log in, the interface jumped to the link location; this was a standard online shopping interface, truly extremely "legitimate"; they had clearly mastered the art of money laundering; the goal must be to sell these two books; otherwise, how else could they hide their tracks?

As expected, after scrolling through the images at the top, he could see the two books mentioned earlier; their cover decorations appeared somewhat old-fashioned, somewhat unsuitable for young readers.

Of course, they certainly weren't selling only these two books; one could know this by opening the purchase interface; these two could only be described as the most inconspicuous items ranked at the very bottom.

Hmm? Why is this? Could it be... they intend to create a contrast? When purchasing an item, if one is priced sky-high while another is merely a few hundred yuan, the difference naturally emerges; so if it were you, what choice would you make?

Although the two books weren't explicitly marked as a bundled sale, the "God-Making Plan" appearing in the bottom corner, combined with the fact that clicking the price revealed the sum of both books, allowed him to conclude that this organization's hidden tactics were quite sophisticated; nevertheless, he still needed to ask, to avoid actually buying the books, which would make no difference from Bai Da; that wasn't his goal.

Since this was on a platform, customer service was inevitably available, saving him the trouble of searching slowly; he sent an inquiry message, getting straight to the point to avoid them thinking he was consulting about the plan itself, which would surely result in a barrage of deception, followed by sending two useless books and nothing else; even if they threw in extra items, there wouldn't be many, but there should still be a difference, right?

As a master of online shopping, he understood some unspoken rules; moreover, due to excessive spending, he had become unable to make ends meet; to stop chopping his hands off, he had painfully uninstalled the app; now he momentarily couldn't recall it, but perhaps he would remember when he needed to buy clothes in the future.

The customer service reply was incredibly fast, making him suspect they had been staring at the screen the whole time; surprisingly leisurely; shouldn't they be enjoying themselves at this hour? Truly very 'reliable,' not letting go of any potential customer.

Customer Service: Hello, esteemed customer, this is the Data Memory Method tailored specifically for you; for only 800 yuan, you can soar in the ocean of knowledge; may I boldly ask, are you a student or a corporate executive? Since you will become a member of our company, once you place an order, besides the gifted books, you will also receive a snack gift pack and a collection of classic quotes; we certainly need to consider your personal situation; what do you think?

Shortly after sending that, they sent another image; it depicted a standard office, with densely packed gift boxes and packaging bags arranged on public desks, along with their company's exclusive logo, "Shu Yu Teng Fei"; one could clearly see a flying fish standard carved above; it was indeed hard to suspect this was an illegitimate company; this concealment technique was simply exquisite!

Ni: Student.

The boy simply typed a few characters; as for the image, he glanced at it once and didn't look again; no matter how much they disguised it, they couldn't escape the truth; he feared that looking too much might make him actually believe they were genuine, which would be quite unfortunate; better to keep ignorance as purity, treating this as a normal transaction and ignoring everything else.

Customer Service: Oh! You're a student? That's wonderful! This divine skill was passed down by my grandfather; if it weren't truly out of necessity, I wouldn't want to sell it; even though my uncle and others tried desperately to stop me, I ignored them; to spread this great heritage, someone must make sacrifices; thus, since you are a student, I will personally gift you an additional learning machine to help you better explore the mysteries of the Data Memory Method; this is the only one; if it were someone else, I wouldn't give it away.

The customer service representative was overjoyed; the order he received was from a student, falling within the range of those easily deceived; students constituted the largest audience group and were the least guarded; if he could secure this order, he would earn at least 750, making it another day he could enjoy an extra meal; thinking of this, he raised his wine glass, cheerfully clinked it with the person beside him, drank it down in one gulp, and then picked up his phone again to wait patiently for the fish to take the bait.
