"…"
For the next few minutes after Sebastian made his bold declaration that almost bordered at the boundary of ridiculousness, the Mission/Reward Hall fell into a strange silence as the sharks were unable to react.
The next mont, they exploded, reacting in different ways.
"What? The next strongest hunting team? Is he drunk?"
"Hmm, perform miracles, is this so high-level scam like those always played by Tosh? Beware, Tosh is also in this hunting team already!"
"Those shaless declarations felt like a fool's declaration. But what is actually a fool? The term feels formidable though".
"Is that not the hunting team where Shanks joined and broke through in just a day? Maybe he is not really bluffing, Shanks was indeed a miracle".
"Maybe you are right, is that not Verni?"
"Verni, the clan head's favorite student?! He's in this team too? Maybe this new guy, Sebastian really has so basis behind his declarations".
"But this heavenly touch of perfection, what does it an?"
"And that anatomy term, it feels so strange and leaves kind of fearful".
Hearing all these conversations, Sebastian did not have much of a reaction. After staying here for a few days, he already got used to the sight of so many Great White Sharks speaking so intellectually.
Of course, the awkward silence at the beginning after his declaration almost made him want to give up. Being silently ridiculed was not pleasant in any way, and silence the majority of the ti ant that.
When he decided to create such a grand speech for his promotion, it was kind of an abrupt decision but also carefully planned.
In this world, there was an advantage that he had over all the sharks here which was his experience from earth. Due to his weird nature, he didn't know much but the few that he knew were valued in gold in this world.
What he used this ti was the power of Propaganda!
In his previous world, this was used a lot most especially by politicians. His was not exactly direct propaganda, but a more advanced version.
There was this sothing, or better seen as a strategy used by advertisers, models, authors, bloggers, and a lot of other public opinion-oriented occupations of his previous life. The legendary click-baiting!
He was a crazy anatomist, but he also spared so of his ti as a football fan which did a lot in curbing his degree of craziness.
Then, Lionel ssi was his best football player. The rivalry between this legendary footballer and Cristiano Ronaldo was sothing that even companies specialized in selling underwear used as promotion material.
Who cared if these 2 players were not related to underwear? So long as using them brought traffic, then co on, go on with it.
Authors were the sa. To attract and keep their readers interested in a book, so may write action novels but put the image of a sexy lady as the book cover. These were all various forms of the legendary click-baiting!
This made Sebastian rember a saying in his previous world. In the real world, the process didn't matter, it was the result that ant everything.
What he just did was a milder form of click-baiting. Due to a lack of resources, he could only settle for this basic form of click-baiting but it was working.
He took advantage of terms such as the heavenly touch of perfection and the strange 'anatomy' term to the sharks as click-bait to attract their attention.
Once their attention was attracted, the ga was on.
This was like the case of using the carrot and stick approach to attract them. So may ignore it, yes, definitely, but others would also be attracted to try it out. Why not since it was not taking their life as leverage?
The audible speculations by the sharks already told Sebastian that his plan was working. The more they speculated in such a way, the higher chance of them seeing sothing that appealed to them, which would reel them into the system.
Sebastian was right, he didn't have to wait long, the first shark erged and it was a Great White Shark that he knew.
"Bush!"
At this mont, this enormous Great White Shark already seed to have gone over the anger and shock from his defeat to Sebastian or he actually didn't care in the first place.
He boldly ca before Sebastian. "I want to join your hunting team".
It was natural that the weak would always follow the strong. This was nature, and it was in no way different here in Oceania also.
After the duel against the newbie shark, Bush already had enough ti to ruminate over it and digest the battle. He was intelligent, but his emotions were not as warped to have as many desires as humans.
The goal of every creature was to beco strong and powerful in Oceania. With Sebastian, a powerful superior willing to take him in, why would he not take the opportunity to gain insight from him?
Though Sebastian was a little surprised that Bush was the first shark that ca to register under his team, he was not stunned for long.
"Good, welco to the Ultimate Dissectors hunting team".
Instantly, Nanga tabulated the data, adding the new mber.
Seeing this, so of the sharks that were originally hesitant finally moved. They were originally waiting for the first brave shark to open the door, and with that success, they no longer had misgivings.
"I want to join your hunting team".
"I want to join your hunting team".
"I want to…"
"I want to…"
"Is there no restrictions in numbers for now".
"No, at least not yet". Sebastian revealed a sharky grin as things were progressing even faster than he expected. In just a few minutes after Bush joined, about 10 sharks joined the hunting team.
Those joining were not every shark though. Despite his strategy, there would always be those abnormal outcasts who were different from normal, like himself so he was not discouraged.
Those that ca already widely surpassed his wildest expectations.
"I want to join your hunting team".
"I want to join your hunting team".
A team joining spree seed to have started.
About 45 minutes later, the sharks no longer moved again but Sebastian was already grinning from ear to ear. The Ultimate Dissectors hunting team now had 18 Great White Sharks registered.
Sebastian was unsure how to react. "Click-baiting is the best!"
