Compared with the network in the technological world, the scale of the current network in the Shenhua Domain is actually countless times smaller. Let alone the technological world before Ye Zan's time travel, even when humans in the technological world were still imprisoned on the earth, the scale of that online world was absolutely so large that people in this world could not imagine it.
In the current Shenhua Realm, those who travel to the Internet through Thousand Miles of God are all cultivators. Even though the population base of this world is already very large, the number of cultivators is far less than the number of Internet users on the earth. The size of the online world is, to a certain extent, determined by the number of netizens. Only with more netizens will there be a larger online world.
Not everyone is equal in the real world, but this is achieved to some extent in the online world. Of course, this means everyone who has access to the online world. In fact, no matter where you are, there are people who cannot enter the online world, or who do not think that the Internet is a world.
Let’s just say that a person who enters the online world, a person whose life is not satisfactory, can rage against all the celebrities online and post all the most vicious curses on their social platforms without worrying about being beaten by their bodyguards. Even the president of Bald Eagle, the citizens of Bald Eagle and the citizens of Guhua can freely tease and curse on the Internet without worrying about being invited to drink coffee.
In the online world of the Shenhua Realm, a small practitioner in the Foundation Establishment Realm or even the Qi Refining Realm can also comment on those large and superior sects. Moreover, there is no Internet monitoring department in this world, which makes them more aware that they are not responsible for their own speech after they are familiar with registering accounts casually.
Under such circumstances, the emergence of online trolls is a matter of course.
Of course, they don't yet have the concept of navy, they just instinctively use some things in reality for this.
You know, in real life, it is not uncommon to create and guide public opinion. In the secular world, it is not uncommon to use public opinion. For example, prophecies such as "One eye of a stone man can stir up rebellion in the Yellow River" are always made up whenever someone rebels. In the monastic world, large sects are particularly good at manipulating public opinion. If you want to label some people as colluding with the devil, you don't just have to open your mouth and say it. You have to arouse the approval of the majority of people.
Now on the Internet, although they don't have the concept of navy, they can use the same methods in reality and it is actually not much different from navy. However, perhaps strictly speaking, the navy does not belong to any party. What they do is use people's money to eliminate disasters, and they use their own people.
Seeing that on the Internet, almost everyone in the Yuqing Sect was shouting for beatings, and everyone in the Taiyi Sect and several other sects finally let out a bitter breath.
"Haha, when the Yuqing Sect created this Internet, they definitely never thought that one day they would become a rat crossing the street on the Internet. This is not like shooting oneself in the foot!" Qianmu Zhenjun from the Taiyi Sect. He no longer had the cold majesty of the past, and said with a smile while holding the Thousand Miles of Expression without caring about the image at all.
Indeed, during this period of time, since the people from Yuqing Sect came to the Tao Discussion Conference, Qianmu Zhenjun had hardly felt comfortable every day. Although the Taiyi Sect used a lot of tricks, they were all easily resolved by the Yuqing Sect. In the end, they made themselves very suffocated. Now, with the help of the network created by the Yuqing Sect, the Yuqing Sect was finally successfully brought under control, and the evil spirit accumulated in Qianmu Zhenjun's chest was finally released.
Although, in the eyes of many people, a few words of abuse on the Internet may not lose any weight, but the current situation will not cause Yu Qingzong to suffer. However, you must know that for a sect, this reputation is also very important. A bad reputation is not a problem that breaks the muscles and bones, but will shake the foundation of a sect.
Reputation seems to be an unquantifiable nothingness, but no one or sect can ignore its existence. Just imagine, even if a notorious sect has very high benefits, which genius disciple would be willing to join? And those disciples who have joined the sect will feel ashamed of being in this sect, so how can they serve the sect fully
"I thought that the Internet was a new thing, and we old guys might not be able to play with it, but I didn't expect it to be like this." True Lord Yuanyuan stroked his beard, although he was not as "letting go" as True Lord Qianmu, But the proud look on his face could not be concealed.
"Master is absolutely right, and judging from this situation, this network is more convenient for us and others. I really want to thank Yuqingzong." Zhenjun Wuya immediately smiled and agreed beside him. .
Obviously, they have now discovered that the network's manipulation of public opinion is not much different from before. Moreover, due to the convenience of the Internet and the ultra-fast information transmission speed, it is even more helpful in manipulating public opinion.
In the past, if you wanted to create a public opinion, you could only spread it through word of mouth. Even sending a message with a flying sword would take a lot of time and energy. But now, as long as you send a message online, everyone can see it immediately, and everyone's reaction can also be displayed on the Internet immediately. If it is said that in the past, it would take dozens of days or even months to create a public opinion, but now it only takes a few minutes on the Internet. This efficiency is simply frightening.
Let’s not talk about how complacent the Taiyi Sect is with their move. Let’s go back to the Yuqing Sect, which is being besieged by “cyber violence”.
To be honest, for everyone here at Yuqing Sect, except for Ye Zan, who comes from the world of technology, this is the first time for everyone else to face "cyber violence". On the night when the Foundation Establishment Discussion was over, the Foundation Establishment disciples from Mo Rushi to the ones below from the Yuqing Sect were all holding their respective Thousand Miles of Legends. Some of these people have frustrated faces, some have angry faces, some are still arguing with others on the Internet, and some have completely "given up on treatment."
"Junior brother, what should we do?" Mo Ru found Ye Zan, feeling angry, helpless, and deeply worried.
As the Supreme Elder of the Yuqing Sect, Mo Ru naturally knew how much impact this would have on the reputation of the Yuqing Sect, and how much damage it would cause to the future development of the Yuqing Sect. However, even if he has spoken on the Internet, he cannot change the direction of this public opinion storm that has taken shape. Although he is a powerful soul, he is no different from anyone else on the Internet. His comments are drowned out in the blink of an eye, and there is no way for people to take his opinions seriously.
"Brother, don't worry, I will handle this matter." Ye Zan said nonchalantly, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"Junior brother, we can't be careless about this matter, otherwise the reputation of our Yuqing Sect will be destroyed." Seeing Ye Zan's reaction, Mo Ru felt really uneasy, but he couldn't say anything too harsh. , can only be a sincere reminder again and again.
Ye Zan smiled and waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, senior brother, I promise you, the wind direction will change tomorrow, so you can rest peacefully."
"This... Okay, then, junior brother, please worry about this matter!" With Ye Zan's guarantee, even though he couldn't imagine what Ye Zan would do, Mo Ru could only choose to believe it.
Mo Ru was just leaving here when someone called the door. Ye Zan opened the door and saw that it was Yu Leyang standing outside the door holding Qianli Transferring God. Obviously, as the person involved in the incident, Yu Leyang can be said to be the object of focus in this "cyber violence", and the pressure he endured is naturally very huge.
Yu Leyang won the first place in the foundation building discussion, but he was only happy for a moment, or it could be said that he was not happy at all. When he heard that the two disciples of Taiyi Sect abstained from voting, he did not feel very relaxed. In fact, the so-called reward for the first sentence was nothing at all to a rich second generation like him. Although others may say he is "pretending to be cool", from the bottom of his heart he really went to the ring for the purpose of exchanging ideas and exchanges.
Yu Leyang developed firearms on his own. Although he has tested them countless times in the Virtual God Realm, due to the characteristics of firearms that cannot be clicked, he has very little actual combat experience in reality. This forum was a rare opportunity for him, an opportunity to verify the performance of firearms and explore how to use firearms in actual combat. He would rather not have the first place, even if he is defeated by the opponent's sword after fighting against a disciple of Taiyi Sect, the experience gained is better than the reward of the first place.
However, Yu Leyang did not expect that his use of firearms to pass the customs would become an act of showing off his wealth in the eyes of onlookers, and he was also said to be victorious without force. In the end, two Taiyi Sect disciples abstained, and he was directly pushed to the forefront, enduring all kinds of criticism from outside and inside. That's right, it's not just people outside who are scolding him, but many disciples within the Yuqing Sect also have opinions about him. The most important thing is that he thinks that he has discredited Yuqingzong, and that Yuqingzong is attacked and cursed by so many people because of him.
In this case, after all, Yu Leyang had never experienced such a thing, so that he doubted himself and whether the path he wanted to take was wrong. So, after reading the comments on the Internet and hearing some whispers from his brothers, he finally couldn't help but come to Ye Zan to find out if he was really wrong.
"What, are you doubting yourself?" Ye Zan let Yu Leyang into the room, and directly hit the opponent's heart as soon as he opened his mouth.
Yu Leyang looked very depressed. The room was clearly brightly lit, but when he walked into the room, it seemed as if his whole person was shrouded in shadow. Hearing Ye Zan's question, he only nodded very slightly, and you wouldn't be able to tell it if you weren't paying attention.
"If you doubt the path you have chosen so easily, then it is no wonder that you have been left in the inner gate." Ye Zan turned around and sat in his seat, with a bit of joking on his face, looking up and down. A dejected Yu Leyang.
After hearing this, Yu Leyang finally raised his head, obviously he was more concerned about being "left in the inner door". However, when he glanced at Ye Zan sitting there, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Master, this disciple has discredited the sect and failed the master's expectations!"
"Haha, who said that?" Ye Zan smiled, picked up Qianli Zhuanshen on the table, and continued: "I taught you things. You have used what I taught you to get this far. If you live up to it, you can only I have the final say. As for smearing, this is even more ridiculous. If Yuqingzong can be smeared so easily, it only means that it is inherently black. "
Ye Zan's words can be regarded as an explanation, although they are not very touching. After Yu Leyang heard this, of course he did not immediately get rid of his depression. He just raised his head that had been hanging down and said in a weak tone: "But Master, after all, this matter is because of me. Come on, if I didn’t…”
However, before Leyang had finished speaking, Ye Zan waved his hand to interrupt, and said without doubt: "Don't think too highly of yourself, you are not that important yet, I will deal with those comments on the Internet, and you What you need to do is to think about your choice whether to stick to it. If you give up on this path, then go back and continue to be your inner disciple. Otherwise, don't let me see you like this again. ”
Yu Leyang was shocked by Ye Zan's words and couldn't help but think of his time in the inner sect these past few years. Should he continue to hang out with his uncle in the inner sect as he did before, or should he stick to the path he chose, even if one day he would break his head and bleed? This doesn't seem like such a difficult choice!
"Disciple understands. Don't worry, Master. Disciple knows what to do." Yu Leyang cheered up and said to Ye Zan.
Ye Zan, however, did not show any expression of relief. He simply waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me. Just think that your choice is worthy of you and will not make you regret it. Okay." "If nothing happens, go back."
"Yes, disciple, please retire!" Yu Leyang bowed and exited Ye Zan's room.
Yu Leyang left, and Ye Zan looked at the Qianli Zhenshen in his hand. What was displayed on the screen was a very lively forum where a debate was taking place. On this forum, almost 99% of the people are constantly posting messages cursing the Yuqing Sect, including some very extreme remarks.
After reading the titles of the posts in the forum, a sneer appeared on Ye Zan's face, and he casually placed Qianli Zhuanshen on the table beside him. He closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, as if he was relaxing with his eyes closed.
In fact, at this time, Ye Zan was already connected to the Internet through the auxiliary chip in his brain and began to fight back against this "cyber violence".
