Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 86: Deep Blue Information

"Does Deep Blue know what this software is used for?" Li Yuan had a high level of acceptance for smartphones and was already using the term "software" to refer to apps.

"It's for asking questions and getting answers from people!" Yang Ning replied.

"Let me take a look!"

Some software was empty, like music and videos, but Yang Ning had posted something on it.

Without exception, they were all interesting!

"Why are there so many questions?" Li Yuan opened the software and saw rows of questions arranged on it, but there were no answers below.

"I just asked randomly!"

Li Yuan rolled up his sleeves. "Don't underestimate me just because I'm an artifact refining master now. Back when I was in school, I always ranked first every year. Let me solve these questions. Hmm, why do humans have two eyes?"

Yang Ning looked at Li Yuan, and Li Yuan blinked.

"No, why do humans have two eyes?"

"Yeah, why?" Yang Ning asked in return.

"Oh, um..." Li Yuan scratched his head. Yeah, why?

Isn't it normal for humans to have two eyes? Why would someone ask such a question?

"Is this even a question?" Li Yuan asked. "Isn't this common knowledge?"

"It is common knowledge, that's why I said I asked randomly!" Yang Ning laughed.

Li Yuan didn't know that after civilization reached a high level of development, an interesting question was more valuable than an answer to a question. So he really thought this question was just randomly asked by Yang Ning.

"I don't know how to answer. Since you asked the question, why don't you tell me why humans have two eyes?" Li Yuan asked.

"Because humans have one eye on the left and one eye on the right, one plus one equals two, so humans have two eyes in total," Yang Ning said with a smile.

"I see," Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully, but he felt like something was off.

"The phone you made is indeed much better than the identity jade card we had before!" After studying it for a long time, Li Yuan had only tried out one-tenth of the existing software.

But he was already reluctant to put it down.

"So, do you think this identity jade card has a market?" Yang Ning asked.

"Market?"

"Whether it can be sold or not," Yang Ning clarified.

"It definitely can!" Li Yuan nodded. "This phone is so much better than the identity jade card. Anyone would want to switch to it!"

"Then how about we form a business association to sell this kind of thing?" Yang Ning suggested again.

"Huh?" Li Yuan blinked. "Do business?"

"Is that not allowed?" Yang Ning asked. "Inner disciples should be able to engage in business, right?"

"It's allowed, but I haven't thought about doing business, and as cultivators, we should prioritize cultivation," Li Yuan said. "Doing business would affect cultivation!"

"We don't need to work 24 hours a day, and cultivators handle tasks very quickly. We can spend one hour, half an hour, or even just the time it takes to burn an incense stick on business!" Yang Ning said. "There's plenty of time left, so it definitely won't affect cultivation!"

He had also worked before and knew that there was only so much to do in a day. Eight hours of work and seven hours of slacking off were common occurrences.

The boss is busy? That's even more nonsense. Xiao Wang had personally said that when Lao Wang appeared busy on the show, it was all acting. He was usually busy for only four or five hours a day.

Lao Wang was just an ordinary person, and his speed in handling tasks was far slower than that of cultivators.

"And think about what you do every day. Do you have a lot of spare time?" Yang Ning asked again.

"Um," Li Yuan scratched his head. He did have quite a bit of free time, and most of it was spent on practicing refining tools.

If it was changed to work, it seemed possible?

"But I don't understand how to manage a business association!" Li Yuan asked, "I can handle an artifact refining workshop though!"

"Then you'll be in charge of production at the artifact refining workshop, and leave the sales and operations to me!" Yang Ning asked, "How about that?"

"That works!" Li Yuan immediately nodded and asked, "So, can we make a lot of money with this?"

"Definitely!" Yang Ning said, "This smartphone is so useful, selling it for one thousand two taels each is not excessive, right?"

"Isn't that too cheap?" Li Yuan asked, "And I don't have much use for silver taels! Even the identity jade token for inner disciples costs one spirit stone, and this smartphone is much better than the inner disciple token. People would buy it for five spirit stones!"

"That's too small-minded!" Yang Ning asked mysteriously, "Do you think earning silver taels is more important, or earning spirit stones is more important?"

"Of course, it's spirit stones!" Li Yuan answered without hesitation.

Yang Ning shook his head.

"Then, it can't be silver taels, right? That doesn't make sense!" Li Yuan asked again.

Yang Ning continued shaking his head.

"No, it's not spirit stones, and it's not silver taels. What is important then?" Li Yuan was getting confused.

"Cultivation, of course, cultivation is the most important!" Yang Ning reminded, "Weren't you worried about how business would affect your cultivation just now?"

"Oh, oh, oh, right, right, right!" Li Yuan quickly nodded, but his confusion didn't decrease, "But spirit stones are needed for cultivation. How can you cultivate with silver taels?"

"Let me ask you, besides spiritual energy, what else is needed for cultivation in Extreme Eternal?" Yang Ning asked.

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Luck?"

Yang Ning nodded, "And is it easier to obtain spirit stones or luck?"

"It's definitely spirit stones!" Li Yuan said, "Luck has long been taken by the seniors. We can only get the leftovers, making cultivation increasingly difficult."

"And where does luck come from?" Yang Ning asked again.

"From people!" Li Yuan blinked, "The fortune and longevity of individuals, the rise and fall of nations, and even sects and families can bring luck!"

"So, what we need to do is not to make money, but to promote the smartphone as much as possible!" Yang Ning pointed to the phone, "Have you noticed that many apps on the phone have a 'follow' button?"

"Yes, there are!" Li Yuan said.

"This 'follow' means that one person is following another person's updates, speeches, and actions!" Yang Ning said, "Why would someone follow you? Because they know you, like you, and admire you! If you have such an admirer, will you gain luck?"

"Indeed!" Li Yuan nodded, gradually understanding.

"If only one person uses the phone, then you'll have at most one admirer. But if ten thousand people use it, then you might have up to ten thousand admirers. How many people are there in Extreme Eternal? How many people are there in the world?"

"Oh!" Li Yuan realized this and immediately became envious. That's right!

He couldn't collect the luck of citizens from other countries, but if they voluntarily admired him, then it wouldn't be his fault!

It seemed like a brand new way to collect luck!

The key was that this method didn't conflict with the methods the seniors used to collect luck. I only made them admire me, I didn't make them betray their country. They were still honestly farming and supporting their families, and their countries were doing well, right?

"And also!" Yang Ning continued, "Can we only collect luck from the Extreme Eternal realm?"

"That's right!" Li Yuan's eyes widened even more, "That's right, if we sell this phone to other sect realms, we can also collect the luck of people from other sects!"

At first, he only made this phone out of a sense of helping a friend, but now he realized its value and couldn't sit still.

Li Yuan did indeed like artifact refining, but switching to artifact refining might not be just for differentiation and competition, but also to seek the luck of artifact refining.

But now, how many artifact refining masters were there in the entire Extreme Eternal? Compared to the world's population, it was nothing!

"I understand!" Li Yuan's eyes widened like copper bells, "I'm willing to join. What do you want me to do?"

"I'll establish a company called Deep Blue Information Technology Co., Ltd., and you will be the Chief Technology Officer!" Yang Ning said, "Our phone can't always stay the same, it needs to be constantly updated, about once a year, and each time we need to hold a global launch event. Have you seen the live streaming function on the phone? At that time, all users can watch the live stream through this software, and as the Chief Technology Officer, you will naturally have to go up and explain the phone's functions at each launch event!"

"The more users the phone has, the more people will see you, know you, and learn from you. They will admire you for your greatness! Your luck will naturally flow continuously!"

"Let's do it!"
