"A journalist?"

Janna, in her bluebird form, tilted her head. "What's that?"

"Broadly speaking, it's someone who works in the news industry. Narrowly speaking, it's a professional who gathers information and reports news."

"What are you scheming now?" Janna didn't fully understand why Link was suggesting she become a journalist.

But based on her thousands of years of experience and her interactions with Link, she knew this young man wasn't just carrying a heavy heart—he was also full of clever and unconventional ideas.

"To spread your faith."

Link's answer was straightforward, his expression serious.

"Really?" Janna flew up, hovering in front of Link, tilting her head to meet his gaze.

"Of course," Link said, patting his chest. "The Twin Cities are in chaos right now, and they need a faith to stabilize the situation. Who else but you can do this?"

"But because of the current turmoil, we can't use conventional methods to spread your faith. That would draw too much attention and opposition from the authorities."

"So, I plan to start by making you a newspaper journalist."

Link spoke rapidly, his words flowing like a river. "As the embodiment of the wind, you can go anywhere in the Twin Cities. There's no place you can't reach."

"Of course."

Janna returned to the table, puffing out her chest. "Anywhere there's air, I can go."

"Exactly! That's why you're perfect for being a journalist!" Link coaxed her gently. "Think about it. With your incredible mobility and stealth, you can infiltrate every corner of Piltover and Zaun. You have a natural talent for gathering information."

"You can amplify this advantage, collecting all kinds of news: government decisions, celebrity gossip, public opinions, market fluctuations, and more."

"Then, you can publish the news under your forgotten true name: Janna Arlam. Everyone who reads your news will remember you."

"And once your reports are verified, it will deepen the public's impression of you. More importantly, if you can uncover and report hidden secrets, it will cause a sensation."

"By then, who wouldn't know about Janna Arlam?"

"And when they know you and remember you, they'll also develop different emotions because of your reporting."

"At that point, we can launch another newspaper to promote and package you."

"For example: Are you troubled by forgetting to turn off the lights before bed? Pray to Janna, and she'll save you from the hassle of getting out of your warm bed to turn them off."

"Or: Are you suffering from the summer heat? Pray to Janna, and she'll bring you a cool breeze!"

"And: Are you frustrated with delivering letters or packages? Pray to Janna, and she'll deliver them for you—fast, convenient, and always on time."

As Link spoke, his thoughts grew even more intense.

"We can also take this opportunity to launch a wind-powered vehicle, tying it directly to you."

"We'll sell the vehicle at a low price, and the owners can power it by praying to you!"

"No, not just vehicles!"

Link leaned on the workbench, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Janna.

"We can tie you to every aspect of daily life. We'll create wind-powered juicers, wind-powered vacuum cleaners, wind-powered air conditioners, wind-powered refrigerators, wind-powered kettles!"

"Janna, you have the power of storms and healing, and I have advanced scientific knowledge. If we work together, we can start with a newspaper and build a super commercial empire step by step."

"By then, your faith will spread from the Twin Cities to all of Runeterra."

"Everyone who uses my products will become your believers."

"And by then, you'll be the strongest goddess in all of Runeterra!"

Instead of being inspired, Janna shrank back.

"Link, have you considered one thing?"

"What?" Link was puzzled. Janna continued, "I don't mean to dampen your enthusiasm, but if we try to spread my faith outside the Twin Cities, other local deities won't allow their followers and territories to be influenced by another god."

"Take Bilgewater, for example. Nagakabouros won't let us spread our faith in her territory so easily."

"If we reach out recklessly, we'll either be killed or beaten half to death." Faced with Janna's hesitation, Link clicked his tongue. "That is a problem."

"So!" Janna said to Link, "We can just focus on the Twin Cities. If everyone here believes in me, I'll be happy. There's no need to—"

"Hmm, divine wars are indeed tricky. But gods without followers are nothing to fear!"

Link paced around the workbench. "We can start with economic and trade wars, targeting city-states or nations within the territories of other gods. We'll use tactics like dumping, technological blockades, financial sanctions, and controlling raw materials to weaken them!"

"We'll attack their foundations with propaganda and cognitive warfare, cultivating a group of people friendly to the Twin Cities. Then, we'll use them to spread rumors and negative opinions, paving the way for you!"

"By then, even the strongest foreign gods, without the support of their followers, won't be able to stand against you, who will have countless believers!"

"Not only will you have the powers of storms and healing, but you'll also gain divine authority over livelihood, economy, politics, commerce, and more!"

"Janna!" Link cupped the bluebird in his hands. "Starting a company is better than starting a cult! Doing business is better than preaching!"

"With our combined strengths, we can buy all of Runeterra."

"By then, I'll be the biggest tycoon in Runeterra, and you'll be the strongest goddess!"

"What do you think?"

Janna's head was spinning. She lay on Link's palm, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Wait, let me process this. I'm not used to such advanced and aggressive ideas!"

"Alright, you think about it. I'll go help Singed move his lab. Once he's here, I'll recruit him into our company."

"The evaluation and interview sessions will reopen soon. I'll use this opportunity to make a name for ourselves and establish the Bluebird Trading Company. Then, step by step, we'll launch Janna Tech, centered on wind energy, to gather faith for you!"

"I need to process this..." Janna fluttered her wings weakly. "You go do your thing. I need to think..."
