Neptune Palace·Hela’s Pearl
"You really won't give in an inch!"
Poseidon squinted his eyes and looked at the pitiful, pure and lustful girl on the virtual screen, with a hint of chill in his eyes.
"Totally expected! The God of the Internet loves feathers so much, so this reaction is not surprising."
The God of Life, sitting opposite the Poseidon, is as steady as an old clock, with his hands folded and his eyes blurred. It is obvious that his consciousness is shuttled among the projections of countless gods.
"Hehe, he will never think that this is just a prelude. I wonder what his expression will be when he sees the new features of Star Network?"
The God of Life chuckled, his brows and eyes full of pleasure.
"Compared with the reaction of the God of the Internet, I am more curious about the changes in the multiverse. Is this subversion a blessing or a curse?" The God of Life's cloudy eyes cleared, and his eyes revealed a strange light.
Although the authority he holds does not have the power of prophecy, he can still predict that the new functions of the Star Network will inevitably completely change the multiverse.
A new era will begin completely.
"Hmph, whether it is a blessing or a curse, if the current situation continues, we will be gradually cannibalized by the God of the Internet. Only by breaking the situation can we possibly earn a chance of survival."
Poseidon paused and then said: "With this move, the God of War will no longer be able to stay aloof and sit on the mountain to watch the fight between tigers. With him joining, the Star Network will surely become stronger. If the crown falls from our hands, it will naturally be up to us. Pick it up with your own hands!”
"Crown?" The God of Life took a long breath: "You are right, we will definitely pick up the fallen crown with our own hands."
After the voice fell, the God of Life looked at the main screen of the conference room.
On the video, an epoch-making speech was being broadcast live.
The retro girl Whittier is standing in the Grand Duchy Square of St. Todd Raleigh, the God of Life Mission, making an impassioned speech.
Under the square, countless believers of the God of Life gathered.
This scene is even larger and more spectacular than the annual Holy Grace Festival held by the Life God Religion.
"Look what we have become? We could have spent half of the day praising God and praying to God, but now we can only sweat profusely in the factory and live under the threat of the factory owners and the expectant eyes of our families. It’s like a screw, is this life?”
"No - this is a beast! A noble and intelligent race should not live in such humiliation."
"Look what the Internet Gods have done? They used factories to drive farmers into factories, leaving large areas of land for mechanical farming and harvesting. It sounds wonderful. They shamelessly announced that this has liberated the labor force and solved the problem of diversity. The problem of cosmic hunger.”
"But have you discovered that the seeds of [Magic Forest] will never grow a second crop? Even if they can grow, the yield will plummet!"
"Any idea what this means?"
The retro girl with two pigtails and a down-to-earth and simple path has a huge screen behind her, and the seed produced by [Magic Forest] quickly completes its life on the screen.
"This means that we will always rely on the seeds of [Magic Forest]. They will sell them for how much they say. If one day they stop selling seeds to us, all of us will starve to death!"
"Do you know why the seeds of the Magic Forest are cheaper than normal seeds? You know, their seeds cost countless manpower and material resources to research, and the cost is extremely high. How can they be cheap?"
"The reason is simple. They are using cheaper and more productive magic seeds to destroy natural seeds!"
"When no one is saving normal seeds, when the world can no longer find normal seeds, the evil god of the Internet will take control of multiverse agriculture. At that time, the meager money you have earned from working hard will not be enough. Buy the cars you made with your own hands and the food you made with your machines.”
"For the sake of belly, everyone must listen to the God of the Internet who has a human face and a beast heart!"
"Wake up, fellow citizens who regard the God of the Internet as their savior!"
With a loud cry, Yu Sheng'an's first plan for domination in the multiverse was completely cut open and displayed for the world to see.
The live broadcast of the retro girl was originally watched by only a few Starnet users.
But as soon as this "conspiracy theory" came out, the bad nature of human nature caused countless people in the multiverse to log onto the Star Network and gather around to watch.
When everyone heard this, everyone was stunned.
"It sounds like it makes sense, right?"
"Yeah, why are magic seeds that cost so much money and material resources so cheap?"
"Smile, you see the world from the perspective of conspiracy theories, and the world naturally treats you with conspiracy theories. Let me tell you why the Magic Forest seeds are cheap? Because they sell more! The cost is diluted, do you understand? It's like a car A bicycle, made with the power of a blacksmith, costs at least 5,000 Internet coins, but now the factory can already reduce the cost to 100, can you believe it?"
"Oh my God! It can't be true, can it?"
"If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even have thought of it. Counting carefully, the farmers around me seem to be planting the seeds of the Magic Forest."
"Is this God's plan? I really sold you, and you are still grateful!"
Netizens are excited.
Although some people tried to explain, under StarNet's home court, these explanations were like a flash in the pan and were quickly covered up by a huge barrage of conspiracy theories.
I don’t know how many people, at this moment, no longer dare to look directly at the Internet God’s actions to benefit the people.
"Look at the so-called textile industry. A large number of magic cotton seeds have occupied fertile fields that should belong to farmland. Countless girls are forced into textile factories to produce pieces of cheap industrial products. I just want to ask, do we really need that? More clothes?"
"What is the definition of clothing? It is to keep warm and keep out the cold, rather than flashy styles that are fashionable and change every year!"
“Nowadays, many people no longer dress to keep out the cold and keep warm, but to wear them to show off to others. For this reason, we do not hesitate to spend one-fifth, one-third, or even one-half of our income on clothes. Is it worth it just to prove your rich taste to others?"
"It's not worth it! Because you have all fallen into the consumption trap of the industrial age. You work in factories and earn a meager salary, but all of it is used to buy the industrial products you produce. You have completely become slaves of the industrial owners! You completely forgot You are God’s people!”
The retro girl roared at the top of her lungs, causing the huge square to fall silent.
After a breath of silence, there was a huge roar, the city was boiling, the star network was boiling, and the multiverse was boiling.
Countless people who watched this live broadcast were shaken by their own values.
"It seems like this is really the case. You go to a factory to make money, and with the money you earn, you buy factory products, and the cycle goes back and forth, and you become a complete slave in the factory."
"Great talk!"
"You're laughing so hard. Go back to five or ten years ago, when everyone couldn't have enough to eat or wear clothes. Are you satisfied?"
At the home court of StarNet, as expected, the comments in support of Voice of the Internet were drowned out and became the bottom of the barrage.
In a frenzied atmosphere, many wavering spectators of the multiverse also began to question the God of the Internet.
…
"No wonder the God of the Internet likes to manipulate public opinion so much. There are two sides to everything, stupid mortals."
Poseidon, who was sitting at the [Hela's Pearl] conference table, couldn't help but sigh while watching the retro girl's speech on the main screen.
"Mortals are indeed stupid, but they are also more practical than anyone else! During the speech, I was so excited that my eyes filled with tears. Afterwards, I had to continue to enter the factory when I should. I think this is the greatest confidence of the Internet God." The God of Life commented.
"It's a pity that he is destined to miscalculate." Poseidon sneered.
…
At the same time, the retro girl posed and listened to the roaring sound of the square.
After the whistling gradually subsided, under the magic amplification, she said loudly: "I just heard someone saying, if we don't enter the factory, what will we eat and drink? The seeds of the Magic Forest are indeed traps, but naturally The seed yield is also very low!”
"Yes, this is the conspiracy of the evil Internet god! It is almost unsolvable."
"But don't forget, we are the people of the great Star Network. The great God of Life and Poseidon protect us. Open the Star Network and take a look. God is always looking after us."
At the prompts of the retro girl, countless people in the square opened the Star Network.
Users watching this live broadcast also subconsciously called up the Star Network homepage.
Two icons suddenly flashed, shaking the multiverse!
…
"Holy Communion? Star Costume?"
Yu Sheng'an, who had logged into the Star Network with the help of a puppet, looked at the two new functions that the Star Network had suddenly updated. His expression remained calm, but the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.
Following the speech of the retro girl, this live broadcast attracted the attention of countless intelligent creatures in the multiverse, completely detonating the two major functions of the Star Network.
[Holy Communion]
That is, you can create various flavors of food by consuming star coins, fighting spirit, magic power... and other energy.
Notice:
The food here is completely virtual. It simulates the taste of real food through a special power.
However, although food is virtual, it can maintain body functions after being eaten.
Because virtual food is full of vitality.
In other words, this is no different from directly consuming life force. However, Star Network puts a gourmet shell and taste on the surface of life force.
[Star Clothing]
That is, users can put on various virtual clothes, just like cutting the virtual screen into clothes and wearing them on the body.
It is worth noting that the virtual here exists in touch, whether it is visual or tactile.
The biggest highlight is that star clothing can "fix life", which is an option.
Once activated, you can feel the cold and heat when walking in severe cold and heat, but your vitality will not be lost.
In other words, the God of Life achieves the effect of keeping warm and keeping out the cold from another dimension through his special authority.
"Build the second aspect of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Humph, you underestimated them? Is this tactile authority their hidden godhead?"
Yu Sheng'an experienced the two major functions launched by Star Network. Although he was disdainful, he had to praise it in his heart. It was amazing.
"Are you trying to support all mankind?"
Yusheng An took a deep breath, and with a thought in his heart, he convened a meeting with the senior executives of the Interconnected Gods.
Soon, the main conference room of the core building flashed with the light of the teleportation array.
The senior executives of the Internet God Department all arrived.
Yu Sheng sat in the main seat, facing Avnola's worried eyes and the gazes of many interconnected gods, and said straight to the point:
"I believe everyone already knows what happened. Rhett Butler, I need you to notify the domestic textile industry immediately to carry out industrial upgrading and transformation."
"Star Clothing will definitely have an impact on the multiverse textile industry. However, the impact on bedding and industrial supplies should not be great. I don't need to say more about what to do."
Yu Shengan said calmly.
The key now is not to compete with StarNet. The Internet has a profound foundation. Although these two functions meet the key needs of users and compete for user time, they will not shake the foundation of the Internet for a while.
Therefore, the key now is to stabilize the ruling area, and then take advantage of the crisis to quickly complete industrial transformation, use cheap goods to open the doors of competing countries, and transfer the crisis and costs away.
"Yes!" Rhett Butler nodded.
"Clementine! Open an emergency loan policy to provide unlimited funding for textiles and other affected industries. My request is that one bankrupt company buys another. I don't want to see a single worker lose his job because of this. Do you understand?"
Yu Sheng'an suddenly looked at Clementine and said loudly.
Clementine performed very well during the Van Eli incident.
Although he was young, he still ruthlessly killed all the old nobles who had put their hands into the Internet Bank and violated the bottom line of the rest of their lives.
This makes Yu Sheng'an very satisfied, and it is also the fundamental reason for her to continue to be in charge of Internet Bank.
"Yes." Clementine looked serious.
The unlimited insurance policy is one of the emergency strategies formulated by Yu Sheng'an.
That is, when the domestic economy is hit, unlimited loans are provided to large companies affected by the disaster to help them survive the crisis.
Of course, these companies need to pledge their equity. If the company cannot survive in the end, Internet Bank will take over these companies and bear the losses.
Regarding losses, Yu Sheng'an taught Clementine: 'Loss is the numerator. As long as you make the denominator large, no matter how big the loss is, it will be insignificant. '
Therefore, helping enterprises to withstand the economic crisis may seem like a loss, but in fact, the gains are the denominator of money in the future.
Of course, no matter how good this policy is, it will be in vain without financial support.
After all, I don’t have any money, and if I go bankrupt before my company does, how can I cover my losses without limit
At this time, the advantage of controlling the minting power of the multiverse becomes apparent. For the Internet, money is really just a number.
"Deng Dan'er, Bessie, and Qimor, the grain strategy remains unchanged. To appease the people, grain prices will still be purchased at the original price. By the way, Rhett Butler, the scale of industrial alcohol production can be appropriately expanded."
"Yes!" The three Dharma Gods and Rhett Bai quickly nodded.
After Yu Sheng'an finished giving urgent instructions, his brows were furrowed, as if he was talking to himself or to all his subordinates.
"Big companies have hedging policies to tide over the difficulties. Even if they can't, they can still survive because of their big business. But what about the small street shops and fly restaurants? They are the buffer layer of the economy. Although they can be discarded,... after all They are my people.”
After hearing this, the senior executives of the Internet looked at each other and felt slightly shocked.
To be honest, Yu Sheng'an was keenly aware of the possible harm caused by this crisis and quickly formulated a series of countermeasures. It was even very possible to turn the crisis into an opportunity, which had surprised them.
But they didn't expect that the God of the Internet would consider it more carefully than they thought, leaving no flaws.
There is indeed a reason why the God of the Internet, the King of Gods, has risen to prominence in just a few years.
As the saying goes: Eat the emperor's wealth and worry about the emperor.
Upon seeing this, the senior executives of the Internet frowned and began to think about countermeasures.
