Chapter 482: The Seven Great Saints of the Demon Race, Immortal Device Update, and the Start of a Mo
Chapter 482: The Seven Great Saints of the Demon Race, Immortal Device Update, and the Start of a Money-Grabbing Spree! (Part 2)
"
"Hmm!"
The Bull Demon waved his hand dismissively, "Nonsense!"
"You're only at the Tenth Stage, and yet you possess such strength, which speaks volumes."
"It's just a realm, what does it matter?"
"With your talent, it's only a matter of time. I have high hopes for you!"
"Perhaps in a few hundred years, your combat power will surpass even mine."
At that moment, Old Crocodile laughed and said, "Let's eat, drink, and chat. I'll pour some wine for everyone."
"This is indeed fine wine!"
"How good is it?" The Bull Demon asked with his mouth open.
Regarding this matter, they were not strangers to it, and it was no surprise to them.
Only Monkey's eyelids were twitching uncontrollably.
"This... isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with it?" Old Crocodile waved his hand grandly, "Drink up, don't hold back, and let loose!"
"This kid may not be a good person, but the taste is still quite good."
Sun Wukong Xia: "..."
"Have you tried it?"
"Of course," Old Crocodile nodded, "Do you want to taste it too? I have some left."
Sun Wukong Xia: "..."
"Let's skip this."
Who could stand this?! I can only sigh in response.
However, she didn't intervene much and didn't criticize anything.
Because Lin Fan had taught her a lesson, which she always kept in mind: 'Do not persuade others to endure suffering.'
There was another lesson that was deeply ingrained and unforgettable: 'When encountering a situation, kill the bitch first.'
She remembered that at the time, she didn't understand what a 'bitch' meant, so she specifically asked her master.
And her master's response was one that she would never forget.
Furthermore, that was a situation where killing was indeed necessary! At this moment, Sun Wukong Xia didn't know what Old Crocodile had experienced to make him consider eating his own son, but judging by the Bull Demon's attitude, it seemed like it wasn't just him.
"..."
They clinked cups and engaged in lively conversation.
They were all demons, each a powerful and influential figure in their own right, with overwhelming strength and an aura that could swallow the mountains and rivers.
They drank freely and chatted without restraint.
This drinking session lasted for half a month.
After half a month, even with their incredible alcohol tolerance, they were all in a drunken state due to the excessive drinking.
After all, they didn't use their immortal energy to evaporate the alcohol.
"That's right!"
Suddenly, the Bull Demon proposed, "We brothers and sisters are all saints among demons, comparable to dragons and phoenixes among humans."
"With our strength, talent, status, intelligence, and brotherhood, we have it all!"
"Why don't we burn yellow paper and become sworn brothers and sisters?"
"Then, let's unite as brothers and sisters, and our bond will be as strong as metal!"
"Brilliant!"
"Burp!"
Old Crocodile burped in agreement and was the first to express his approval, adding, "In my opinion, this is still not enough!"
"Since we are all dragons among humans and saints among demons, why don't we think of a more prestigious name for our brotherhood?"
"What kind of name?"
The other demons looked at him.
But Sun Wukong Xia shivered, feeling a chill run through her body, and her intoxication instantly dissipated.
At that moment, she felt it wasn't enough, and she immediately used her immortal energy to clear the alcohol, further stabilizing her soul and ensuring her thoughts remained clear.
It's finally here!!!
I must stop this swearing ceremony.
Otherwise...
It's likely that not long after, only the Bull Demon would be able to survive.
"Ouch!"
Sun Wukong Xia suddenly pretended to be drunk and held her stomach, "My stomach..."
"Old Crocodile, you didn't poison the wine, did you?"
"Ouch, I need to use the bathroom..."
The Bull Demon stared at her drunkenly, "You, a lady, are using such foul language. How indecent!"
"I can't hold it anymore."
"Old Bull, come with me."
"..."
"..."
Without saying more, she pulled the Bull Demon and ran.
Old Crocodile was in high spirits, but seeing this, he could only temporarily put it aside, laughing and scolding, "Lazy ass, always peeing and pooping."
"Poisoning...?"
"How could I do such a thing?"
"Hurry up and come back!"
"There's still something to discuss..."
Bang!
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Old Crocodile was drunk.
The other great demons laughed and then proceeded to drink without any regard for their image.
...
"Are you feeling better?"
Outside the bathroom, the Bull Demon whined, "Why did you drag me to the bathroom?"
"Moreover, you're already at the Tenth Stage. Do you still need to use the bathroom?"
"Little Sister, do you have some problem?"
"If you do, you must tell Big Brother, and I'll help you find a solution."
In fact...
There was no bathroom here.
At their cultivation level, who still needed to 'go'? This bathroom was temporarily created.
Inside the bathroom, Sun Wukong Xia didn't 'go'.
She was just hiding.
Estimating that the time was right, she returned with the Bull Demon.
They found that the other demons were all sound asleep, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With everyone asleep, it was unlikely that they would suddenly wake up and continue with the swearing ceremony or the discussion of the Seven Great Demon Saints of the Demon Race.
However...
This could only be considered as avoiding this one time.
In the future, there might be more.
"Avoiding once is one time, but stopping them in the future will be difficult. I can only work on myself to prevent it."
Sun Wukong Xia silently calculated, "According to the stories my master told, although all living beings in the world are like chess pieces, the most crucial chess piece is actually me alone.
"As long as I don't enter the game..."
"They shouldn't be in too much danger then."
"So..."
"In the future, I won't be able to get close to them."
"!"
At this moment, her thoughts were exceptionally clear.
After figuring this out, she saw that everyone was already content and asleep, so she left a letter and quietly departed.
Actually...
The character of the Bull Demon and his companions is truly admirable.
The Bull Demon, aware of the power of the Golden Hoop Rod, never showed any greed for it.
Old Crocodile and the others naturally knew that they couldn't possibly injure Old Bull with just the Tenth Stage of power, so they must have guessed that her rod was extraordinary, yet they never asked a single question about it.
Moreover, they never attempted to take it from her or showed any desire to seize it.
Such virtue, in this dog-eat-dog Immortal World, is already a top-notch choice.
At the very least, it surpasses most people.
One should say, it surpasses the vast majority.
If possible, Sun Wukong Xia truly wanted to befriend them, at the very least, being friends wouldn't be bad.
But now it seems...
She could only think of a way to keep her distance respectfully.
Therefore, Sun Wukong Xia merely left a letter, saying that she had family matters to attend to and needed to leave early, bidding them farewell.
She didn't even leave an address...
...
Sun Wukong Xia left.
With a wave of her hand, she departed without any fanfare.
And in that mysterious Chaos Space.
The long-haired man in the black robe, who had been laughing not long ago, suddenly frowned, his face showing a trace of bewilderment: "... Hmm?"
"Why..."
"The chess piece actually has a sense of breaking free from control?"
"Damn it!"
"As a chess piece, you should have the awareness of a chess piece."
"Do you think you can escape from the palm of my hand?"
"..."
"Be careful on your journey."
The original body of Bar Bar Tower remained in the Moon Embrace Sect.
And Luo Feng, disguised as 'Iron Man', with the Bar Bar Tower clone, set off.
Bar Bar Tower turned back, smiling.
"The Sect Master is in seclusion."
"Luo Feng has also left."
"Now, it's a bit too boring."
"The development of the satellite and Immortal Machine still requires a lot of time, and to speed it up, a large amount of wealth and resources are needed. But, we're a bit short on cash..."
"I need to think of a way to speed up the money-making process."
His eyes spun, and soon he had an idea: "Got it~"
"When it comes to making money, what's better than the 'Three-Piece Set'?"
"But..."
"It seems to go against the heavens?"
"Cough, it's better to be a bit more low-key."
"Just..."
Bar Bar Tower's thoughts raced, and in an instant, he had calculated countless times and reached a conclusion: "Let's approach it from several angles."
"One, launch the VIP service."
"Honorable Immortal Machine VIP~, hmm, always satisfying."
"Two, launch the Immortal Machine online payment service and group chat red envelope function."
"However, this requires the Celestial Pavilion to be supportive."
"After all, there are no banks in the Immortal World, not even money houses. To make them willingly give money... it's actually very difficult. Moreover, the branches of the Celestial Pavilion aren't enough, perhaps we need to find a few more operators to join in."
"At that time, the operators will be the 'bank', managing the payments and finances."
"..."
"It's a bit troublesome, but there's no other way, to make money from various online businesses, we must set up the online payment system, otherwise it's too complicated."
"The efficiency is also low."
"Let's start with a pilot first."
"Let's use the West Bull Prosperous Continent as the pilot, and then expand from there. Once a portion of the people get used to it, it will naturally influence others to use the online payment system too. As for the other continents, we'll deal with them later."
"After the online payment system is accepted by the majority, then the subsequent operations can be carried out."
"For example, an online chess and card room."
"Let these cultivators play Mahjong, develop a few cultivation-themed MOBAs, MMORPGs, and even FPS games for them."
"Selling skins, equipment, and the like will definitely make money."
"We can even develop something like a sword-fighting app, XX delivery, or errand service?"
"Wait."
"First, we need to control the 'throat' or, in other words, the propaganda."
"So, we need to create a news app, providing daily news and a forum function."
"This is also a good way to increase user engagement, allowing like-minded people to chat and interact, and there will inevitably be some show-offs and group ridicules..."
"Yes, let's do it this way!"
"..."
...
If you say it, do it.
Bar Bar Tower's efficiency was very high.
Mainly, apart from the online payment system, the rest was truly not difficult for him.
A news app?
That's not a problem at all, just imitate one and make it extra exquisite.
A forum?
There are countless templates, and Bar Bar Tower casually chose a popular one from the original universe, the 'Multiverse Forum', made some modifications, and it was ready to use.
As for updates...
That's simple.
Actually, the computing power of the Immortal Machines is quite limited.
So, the Immortal Machines themselves only handle the most basic calculations, 'display', and operation-related functions, while the real data center is with Bar Bar Tower.
Similar to 'cloud services'.
Therefore, as long as the data center is updated, the Immortal Machines will also update accordingly.
A night passed.
Immortal Machine users suddenly discovered that their Immortal Machines had undergone a complete transformation.
Upon opening, an update log would pop up.
Update Log:
To facilitate the use of Immortal Machines for all users, the following functional updates are being implemented:
1. Improve the stability of Immortal Machines.
II. Fix Known Bugs.
III. Launch the brand new 'News' APP, gathering the day's fresh news from all over the world, and inform all users.
Interested users can also submit 'News' by clicking. Once accepted, there will be relevant rewards (Note: News must be genuine and effective, otherwise, there will be consequences.)
IV. Launch the brand new 'Multiverse Forum' APP, inviting all users to join, find like-minded Daoist friends, chat, exchange cultivation experiences, form small groups, and more...
V. Launch the brand new 'Membership' system.
All Immortal Machine users can become prestigious Immortal Machine members after paying 'ten Spirit Stones'.
Immortal Machine members will enjoy unlimited friends, highlighted friend list nicknames, custom avatars, personal shows, forum red names, online invisibility, and other prestigious and practical functions, showcasing prestige, luxury, and uniqueness, standing out above the rest.
For specific details, you can visit the nearest Celestial Mechanism Tower for more information.
VI. Users within the West Bull Prosperous Continent will automatically become internal test users and will be eligible to test the 'Online Payment' function in advance.
The online payment function refers to depositing Spirit Stones in various Celestial Mechanism Towers, after which the corresponding amount of Spirit Stones will appear on the Immortal Machine.
Subsequently, users can use the stored Spirit Stones in the Immortal Machine to send red envelopes, transfer money, buy and sell, open memberships, and more, greatly facilitating all Immortal Machine users.
For specific details, you can visit the nearest Celestial Mechanism Tower for more information.
VII. Users in the West Bull Prosperous Continent will launch the 'Money House' APP, which will be used in conjunction with the online payment function.
Within the Money House APP, users can view their deposits and corresponding transaction records.
VIII. Immortal Machine users outside the West Bull Prosperous Continent who also want to become internal test users and use online transaction functions can apply at various Celestial Mechanism Tower branches.
This update description is complete. Wishing all users a pleasant experience with the Immortal Machine.
······
After reading the update announcement, many users were confused.
"News?"
"This... sounds like a platform for spreading rumors."
"Multiverse Forum? Quite ambitious. I want to see what it's good for."
"Online transactions? Handing money over to the Celestial Mechanism Tower? Pfft, do they think we're stupid? Are they trying to scam us?"
"Transactions? Online transactions? Can they deliver items to me through the air? Ridiculous!"
"I say it's a scam!"
"···"
"Call me a prestigious member~"
"What? Someone actually bought a membership?"
"You know what, you're right. This red nickname is quite unique and eye-catching, huh?!"
"Damn, this guy is showing off... and he's a cultivator too. I want to do the same!"
"Me too, I can't let you have all the fun."
"···"
Hot Topic!
The most popular one is the Multiverse Forum.
After entering, there are countless new posts. Some users express curiosity, while most users directly start criticizing the Celestial Mechanism Tower and the mysterious supplier behind it for trying to scam money.
Many accuse them of planning to run off with the money.
Some even start shouting for refunds, calling it a scam.
Some users are so impulsive that they even dismantle two satellites.
But the consequence is that within three minutes, they are caught by nearby Immortal Machine users, beaten into a cripple, and forced to pay for a new satellite... providing entertainment for many users.
The posts refresh at an incredibly fast pace.
Every second, a large number of posts flash, but fortunately, those who can afford the Immortal Machine are cultivators with decent cultivation levels. Their 'eyesight and brainpower' can keep up, allowing them to use the forum normally.
For ordinary people, it would be a struggle.
It's not that the forum lacks categories.
It's just that everyone is eager to discuss and share their thoughts.
After all...
Everyone can see the posts, right?
Experiencing this for the first time, and having the opportunity to showcase oneself, feels quite good.
Especially for those with memberships, they can show off, and the most expensive VIP users, wow~~~
As for the News APP, it also has many users, but the news mostly has 'limitations'.
- Regional Limitations.
The Immortal World is too vast.
It's a common issue, and it's not just about the entire Immortal World. Even just the Three Thousand Continents in the Upper Realm are already incredibly vast. Gathering news, especially major news, from one region and sharing it in another...
It's probably just for a laugh.
So, relatively speaking, currently, the News APP is not as popular as the Multiverse Forum.
But Baba Tower doesn't mind.
The News APP doesn't need popularity.
As long as most users occasionally check it out, it will have fulfilled its purpose~
······
Once again, the Celestial Mechanism Towers are packed with people, especially in the West Bull Prosperous Continent.
Many branches are overwhelmed, almost bursting!
The Fifth Zhuge, in charge of coordination, twitches his mouth in disbelief, supporting his forehead, speechless.
Even with his intelligence, he can't help but want to complain.
"This is the Celestial Mechanism Tower!"
"Why are there so many people here?!"
"More crowded than a teahouse!"
But at the same time, he is both pained and delighted.
These people are here to spend money; they can't be turned away!
Membership fees can also be split 20/80! Twenty percent...
That's not a small amount, and it adds up!
"We must maintain order!"
"Absolutely no unexpected incidents!"
"Where's the security? We need more security personnel. Quick, request support from the main branch. We must have more powerful cultivators stationed in the West Bull Prosperous Continent!"
"···"
He's running around, barely able to keep up.
