A Once-in-a-Lifetime Business Opportunity!

Thunder God was shocked and exclaimed, "Fifty-five hundred billion!"

"This is still small change?!"

Then, realizing what he meant, he was somewhat stunned. "Lin Yan, what do you mean... earning more money than many immortals could earn?"

I'm numb.

He was completely numb.

What does 150 billion mean?

They just throw him into the slave market, and people will offer him 50,000 Black Dragon Coin, and you'll have to haggle over the price!

As for immortal wealth, is that something anyone would dare to dream of? He wouldn't even dare to dream of immortality carrying a shoulder pole!

Hong and Luo Feng had similar expressions.

If I hadn't known Lin Yan for so long and knew he wasn't an unreliable person, I probably would have started criticizing him right now.

Babata was blown out at that moment.

A virtual figure of a child in black robes suddenly appeared. "Lin Yan, don't exaggerate. The wealth of Immortal God is beyond your imagination! You're only at the Stellar level, let alone within 20 years, without taking any risks!"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

Hong and Thunder God were somewhat bewildered. Who was this? Where did he come from?

Luo Feng explained, "This is the Intelligent life form I inherited; its name is Babata."

Babata continued to Lin Yan, "Black Dragon Coin are only the official currency of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Qianwu Coin is worth more than a thousand, close to two thousand Black Dragon Coin. One Cosmic Coin would be worth at least five million Black Dragon Coin on the black market."

"Cosmic Coin is the only currency in the universe, while the wealth of Immortal God is calculated in Hun Yuan Unit. One Hunyuan is one trillion Cosmic Coin! Even the poorest immortal has assets of several hundred Hunyuan!"

If 150 billion Black Dragon Coin were calculated in Cosmic Coin, it would only amount to 30,000 Cosmic Coin, which is nothing in the universe.

Thunder God stared blankly and said, "This is really just a small amount of money..."

Poverty has limited my imagination!

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Let me correct you. I'm not referring to the ordinary kind of immortality. As long as my ideas are implemented, we can easily buy the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain."

They were starting to doubt if there was something wrong with their ears.

Dude, we can't brag about this!

"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer." Although Lin Yan had to admit that keeping you in suspense was quite interesting, if he didn't tell you soon, Babata would really scold him.

Lin Yan said, "Under normal circumstances, we would not be able to do this, but now we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take advantage of the favorable winds and soar to great heights."

Babata asked, "What opportunity?"

"The Cosmic Humans's Peak Genius Battle, which only happens twice every ten thousand years." Lin Yan's eyes gleamed. "It is jointly organized by the Virtual Universe Company and all the Universe Country to select the most outstanding Stellar level geniuses from 1008 Universe Nations across the entire human race!"

"A battle among billions of geniuses from all the Universe Country, the top one thousand in the overall universe ranking can become 'Core Member' within the Virtual Universe Company."

"It will be held in five years."

"From every perspective, this is the best opportunity for us to rise!"

Luo Feng couldn't help but gasp, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop slightly. "A battle between billions of geniuses from all the Universe Country?"

"This is insane!"

Leaving aside the universe, the Ganwu Universe Country alone has hundreds of millions of star systems. Even if all the top geniuses from each star system were brought out, the entire Universe Country could gather hundreds of millions of geniuses!

Thunder God smiled wryly, "But we're all just poor Planetary level guys. Apart from you, Lin Yan, we don't even have the qualifications to participate."

He was a ninth-level Planetary level, Hong was an eighth-level being, and Luo Feng was only a seventh-level being. He dared not even think about competing with a genius from the universe!

"Therefore, we cannot waste a single day in these five years. The Laser Gun business on Earth will bring in a steady stream of wealth, which will be used to purchase various cultivation resources to support our cultivation. Don't underestimate yourselves. Hong and Thunder God, you both possess domains at the Planetary level. I also know about Luo Feng's situation. I have a good understanding of it. If I say you have a chance, then you definitely have a chance."

Lin Yan said, "It's unrealistic to be ranked in the top 1,000 in the entire universe. At least we should be in the top 1,000 in the Ganwu Universe Country. That way, we'll have a chance to enter the forbidden area of Ganwu Universe Country — the Ganwu Secret Realm. Not only can we obtain better resources, but we can also receive guidance and instruction from many Immortal God and even King level Immortal titles."

"This is an opportunity we absolutely cannot miss!"

In the original story, Hong actually performed quite well in the Genius Battle, while Thunder God was far behind.

However, due to his influence, they did not fall into a soul slumber after their desperate battle with the Golden Horn Beast. They came into contact with the martial arts secrets of Yun Mo Star very early on, and were able to receive a large amount of cultivation resources two years in advance. It was not unreasonable for them to strive to enter the Ganwu Secret Realm.

Otherwise, Hong's teacher was just a World Master, and Thunder God was only taught by an Intelligent life form of a dead World Master, who only had some secret techniques left and had even squandered his inheritance.

That's clearly not enough.

Babata said speechlessly, "Lin Yan, do you know what the Peak Genius Battle means?"

"I know you're talented, but you're not even considered top-tier in the universe. I think you'd better... Holy crap!"

He was halfway through his sentence when he exclaimed "Holy crap!" and looked like he'd seen a ghost.

The Light Domain unfolded within the hotel room, enveloping the surrounding world, and at the center of the field, Lin Yan resembled a deity, exuding an air of mystery and wonder.

Babata's blood-red eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Lin Yan, you... you've stepped into the realm of comprehending the Light Origin Law!"

The slap in the face came too fast, like a tornado!

Its former owner was Immortal Expert, so he could naturally see that Lin Yan had already crossed the threshold of the Light Origin Law.

Light Domain dissipated, Lin Yan remained calm and nodded.

Luo Feng asked, "Babata, what is the Origin Law?"

Hong and Thunder God listened attentively to its answer.

Babata said, "The Universe Origin Law are the true path. If you comprehend one of them, you can become an immortal being. Even if you only comprehend a Universe Origin Law and cross the threshold of the Origin Law, your strength will undergo earth-shattering changes!"

"Under normal circumstances, the best that Stellar level and Cosmic level weapons can use is a third-order Origin Force or telekinetic weapon. Why? Because starting from the fourth order, one needs to have some understanding of the laws in order to use and unleash some of their power."

It still seemed a little incredulous as it spoke, "Normally, one needs to be at the eighth or ninth level of the Domain to sense the fluctuations of the laws and comprehend them. Lin Yan, you have already crossed this threshold!"

"You've already comprehended the laws in less than five years of cultivation. With your talent, you'll definitely be in the top 1,000 of the universe's Genius Battle!"

Lin Yan laughed and said, "Now you believe what I said, right? I don't talk nonsense. Listen to me and believe in yourself. You'll be fine."

"If you still think you're not good enough after I say this, then you really aren't good enough."

Hong and Thunder God exchanged a glance, both feeling a strong desire rising within them.

Having weathered so many storms over the years, they certainly have their own pride.

"We'll listen to you."

"It's just a cosmic Genius Battle, right? Let's beat them to a pulp!"

It's acceptable to miss an opportunity when it's right in front of you, but it's hopeless if you don't dare to seize it.

Babata then spoke up, asking, "But Lin Yan, you haven't explained what you meant by making money yet?"

"Are you referring to the prize money for the top 1,000?"

The top 1,000 participants in the Peak Genius Battle will receive a prize ranging from 10 to 10,000 Hun Yuan Unit on their ranking.

"Of course not." Lin Yan shook his head. "Think about it, such a grand event lasted for five years, was open to the 1008 Universe Nations, and was promoted by the Virtual Universe Company, attracting widespread attention. In fact, anyone connected to the Virtual Universe Network would know about it."

"What kind of existence is the Virtual Universe Network!"

"This kind of publicity effect would be even more exaggerated in Huaxia than if CCTV News were used entirely for advertising! As long as we achieve good results in the Genius Battle, we can convert this attention into our own. With such a large amount of traffic, how could we not make money?"

Luo Feng and the others' eyes lit up.

Advertising can have a life-saving and transformative effect on businesses, and they immediately realized this after Lin Yan said that.

Traffic equals money!

Even ordinary celebrities have strong sales power, let alone the "superstars" who emerge from the Peak Genius Battle!

Babata blinked. It sounded so simple, without any risk. Lin Yan could definitely break into the top 1,000 in the universe. How exaggerated was this level of attention!

Babata quickly asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

Lin Yan replied, "It's very simple. After the Genius Battle ends, we'll invest heavily in advertising to quickly convert the attention we receive into our brand."

"We're not making a product; we're building our IP portfolio!"

"On the most powerful platform of the Virtual Universe Network, we will diversify our business and make our 'Jiuzhou Company' a household name."

"For example, we could launch a 'tea' beverage. The patent protection of the Virtual Universe Network is very strong. If this new beverage is launched under such a hot trend, it will definitely arouse the curiosity of many people."

"As long as our products are strong enough, we can gain a foothold as soon as they hit the market and make a lot of profits."

"You can also create online restaurants, and the most crucial point is to create virtual games! This is the best way to convert traffic!"

Upon hearing this, Babata immediately became excited. "Yes, yes, yes, let's make virtual games!"

His blood-red eyes were filled with excitement. "As long as your ranking is high enough, our game will definitely be a huge hit!"

Luo Feng knew that Babata was a veteran player of virtual games, so he immediately asked for details.

Babata said, "As you all know, even in Earth's internet environment, what's the most profitable thing to do purely online?"

"A game?" Luo Feng asked tentatively.

In his time, the internet wasn't widespread, and games were relatively rare.

Thunder God immediately nodded, excitedly saying, "Yes, the game!"

He's of mixed Huaxia and India descent and has lived in China for many years, so of course he knows what it means to say, "Yes, yes, I'm so glad I took the bus." This guy is a cash cow!

Lin Yan said, "Those orders and sales all need to be combined with offline business. Restaurants can do it, but they have to open one by one, and the traffic conversion efficiency is very low. But games are different. Virtual games can reach every corner of the Universe Country, and they are highly real-time and have a high conversion rate."

Babata exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Lin Yan, you are simply a genius!"

"Actually, games on the Virtual Universe Network are both easy and difficult to make. What makes them easy? It's because you design the specific details of the game content yourself, and you buy all the other services from the Virtual Universe Company."

"Developing games on Earth requires learning graphics engines, sound engines, physics engines, artificial intelligence, and game logic. But how could such a thing happen in Virtual Universe Network? I don't have the ability to do it either. The technology is on a completely different level."

"As long as you spend money, your game's configuration will be top-notch in every aspect! As long as the game content you design is flawless, no users will find fault with it!"

"But it's also very difficult! Because everyone isn't stupid. Everyone knows that the game market is huge, and many people have no hope of going any further. They're stuck at this level for life, so they simply treat virtual games as reality, marrying and having children in the game. In reality, they might only be at the Stellar level or Cosmic level, but in the game, they are the strongest beings in the world!"

"These kinds of players are the most beloved by game companies because they are the most willing to spend money, and the thrill of recharging and spending money makes them lose themselves."

"But with such a large market, everyone wants a piece of the action, leading to fierce competition. Many games have invested a lot of money, but they have no users at all. Is there something wrong with their games? No, I've played so many games, and there's basically not much difference between them, but some have become wildly popular while others don't have a single user."

"This difference is caused by traffic! Games with more users have a stronger sense of immersion and more fun for them. Who would want to play a game with no players at all?"

"Then, popular games become even more popular, while games that nobody plays just gather dust."

"Moreover, those popular games themselves are super traffic portals, and game companies can also guide the users of these games to other games they have made, further exacerbating the polarization of the game industry!"

Babata shouted, "This is a huge business opportunity!"
