Blueprint

In fact, Lin Yan's considerations were based on this premise.

The profits from creating a blockbuster game on a platform like Virtual Universe Network are unimaginable.

Moreover, the proportion of paid games in the Virtual Universe Network is very high, and there are very few users who can play for free, which further increases their "money" potential.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Ganwu Universe Country has more than 13,000 star domains. Under normal circumstances, no one from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain can enter the top 1,000 of Qianwu. As long as we can do it, we will be the pride of Black Dragon Mountain. They will be proud of us, so would they mind giving us some money?"

"No."

"If you reach the top 1,000 in the universe, you'll basically be the number one genius in Qianwu, and you'll also gain widespread attention. If you enter the top 10, you'll be the pride of the Ganwu Universe Country!"

"They will all be proud of this."

"What I really want to strive for is to win first place!"

"In this kind of competitive sport, the popularity of the champion is incomparable to that of the second to thousandth place combined, multiplied by ten. It also has the strongest traffic conversion effect. What kind of title is the Universe's Number One Genius? Who wouldn't take a second look?"

The crowd was quite excited.

This opportunity is absolutely crucial!

Although Babata didn't believe Lin Yan could get first place, he was guaranteed at least a top 1,000, and even a top 100 or top 10 was within reach.

After all, he comprehended the laws in less than five years of cultivation. There are still more than five years left before the preliminary rounds, and the real showdown will be ten years from now. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has a chance to get into the top ten.

No matter what, he has the complete inheritance of his own Yun Mo lineage, so his foundation is definitely not that bad.

There are indeed better secrets in the universe, but would they be useful at the Stellar level?

If we can get into the top ten, propaganda within the Ganwu Universe Country will be much easier, and we'll have a chance to do it in other Universe Country as well.

It said, "But we don't have any money right now."

Making games costs money.

Production and distribution costs are both necessary expenses.

Virtual Universe Company is the most profitable company in the entire universe, which is reflected in every aspect.

Your game isn't released to the entire universe at once; instead, it's divided into several tiers of pricing, targeting intermediate-level civilizations, advanced civilizations, and the entire universe, each with different costs.

For example, if you choose to only search for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, only people on Black Dragon Mountain Island will be able to find you.

Of course, the price won't be too outrageous, since the game company's revenue and the platform's revenue are split 50/50. It's just setting a threshold to prevent people from actually using the wrong qualifications.

"The cost of releasing it to the entire universe is 10 Hun Yuan Unit, and the production cost at the highest level is about the same. We need 20 Chaos Units to make the game, and the advertising costs will be even higher."

If you want to convert users, you have to rely on advertising; otherwise, how will anyone know that you have anything to do with this game?

Lin Yan replied, "There is a top-tier E-class Mechanical race spaceship in the Sea Region around Bermuda on Earth, worth two thousand Chaos Yuan. I plan to sell it, and then we will have sufficient start-up capital."

"We can do more than just games; we can do other things too."

The Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 1 on Earth is a 1200-meter-high silver-white pyramid, which is actually a Mechanical race spaceship.

This Mechanical race spaceship is extremely valuable. An ordinary E-class spaceship is worth about 1 Hun Yuan Unit. A peak E-class spaceship used by an immortal being is generally worth several hundred Chaos Yuan. This is a peak E-class Mechanical race spaceship belonging to an immortal Mechanical race, standing 1200 meters tall. Its value is even more exorbitant. If the auction price is good, it could easily reach two thousand Chaos Yuan.

Most people wouldn't be willing to sell this, because it would be very difficult to find a comparable spaceship after it's sold.

But Lin Yan is planning to join the Virtual Universe Company, which is an extraordinary entity. What kind of things can't he buy there?

If his plan is successfully implemented, he might not even be interested in a Mechanical race spaceship with a value of two thousand Chaos Yuan.

If it needs to be sold, then it should be sold.

The current investment of 2,000 Hunyuan can generate immeasurable profits.

Babata said, "If you want to sell it for money, you can. With my master's 'five-star account' service, you can sell it easily and without any trouble."

"But the laser channel of that Mechanical race's spaceship requires at least Cosmic level to pass through, so we can't get through the channel to the control room."

Lin Yan nodded. "We have plenty of time. Now we can focus on the preparations. That money won't be needed for another ten years. It doesn't matter if it's a little earlier or later."

"As long as we have the money to buy Cosmic level slaves, the two thousand Hunyuan are a sure thing, there's no need to rush."

"Although Cosmic level slaves are expensive, I can think of a way to obtain them."

It was still early, so Lin Yan remained calm. Putting aside the opportunity function of his own system, even if he just followed the Thunder World from the original story, he wouldn't be stumped by something like this.

Lin Yan continued, "After we go back, we will arrange for a large number of professionals to design the game, gather the elites of our planet in this field, and conduct in-depth research on other games. If we spend ten years honing our skills, we shouldn't run into any problems."

"It's just game content design, not technical issues. I'll personally oversee it, and they should be able to handle it."

Babata looked confident. "Don't worry, Lin Yan, I have tens of millions of years of experience as a veteran gamer. I'll assist them!"

Luo Feng was speechless. A veteran gamer with tens of millions of years of experience, and you're still so proud of it! When he first connected to the Virtual Universe, Babata warned him not to get addicted to online games.

So this is a patient's personal account of their condition!

Lin Yan looked at Hong, Thunder God, and Luo Feng and said, "Since we've talked so much, let me share with you some information about Earth's future development plans."

"I know you probably don't quite accept my approach, Hong."

Hong was somewhat surprised. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Then I'll be frank. I think it's inappropriate for you to eliminate all the monsters so early. It will make Earthling lose their sense of crisis."

"Only by keeping them in a state of crisis can we motivate them to move forward, and the killing of monsters will also help them grow faster."

"Furthermore, it is inappropriate to focus our energy on science and technology and industry. This universe ultimately belongs to martial artists. Only by following the path of martial artists can we accelerate the evolution of humanity and make Earthling stronger as soon as possible."

"Since we have the Tianxin Dew, we should let them explore even greater paths on the path of martial arts!"

Thunder God scratched his head and said, "Actually, I agree with Brother Hong's idea."

Hong said seriously, "Of course, you are more meticulous than me and have better leadership skills. You may have your own ideas, which I am willing to respect and accept."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Then how far do you think those people who didn't have martial arts talent before can go after becoming Apprentice Level through the Tianxin Dew?"

Is it possible to become Planetary level?

Hong Wei shook her head slightly. "Even if you can't become Planetary level, you still have the chance to become a war general or a war god."

"You still don't understand," Lin Yan said. "Even after Tianxin Dew made everyone an Apprentice Level, those who were originally at the bottom are still at the bottom!"

"Don't they need to live? Don't they need to earn money to support their families?"

"Making money by killing monsters was a special product of the previous era. After everyone becomes a martial artist, even if monsters are not eliminated, their value will drop to a very low level."

"Everyone becomes a martial artist—it sounds simple, but how can it be achieved?"

"They couldn't become Apprentice Level before, and they can't become Planetary level now. Is it because they don't want to? Are they unwilling? It's because they simply don't have the talent."

"Human evolution is important, but what I have to consider is that I need them to survive, and to live well, to live like human beings."

"We have billions of people, and diversified development is indispensable. I must provide them with a stage to realize their talents. My father-in-law is a biology expert. He can make outstanding achievements in this field, but without such a social environment, he would just be an ordinary person."

"Luo Feng's younger brother, Luo Hua, is very talented in financial transactions. I even planned to invite him to be the manager of the financial investment department of Jiuzhou Company, but he also does not have the talent of a martial artist."

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised that Lin Yan trusted his brother so much.

Lin Yan said, "Our Earthling have inferior genes, which is why cultivation is inefficient. It is unscientific and unreasonable to make everyone follow the path of martial arts. Let me explain my plan."

"Reclaiming the territory is inevitable because the Base City is too small, too small for many industries to operate. We need a lot of land to grow Zhu Fruit, a larger site to produce Laser Gun, and more space to realize our other ideas."

"As for the issue of combat experience, for now we can only purchase a virtual host similar to Virtual Universe, limited to Earth, which can allow everyone on Earth to connect. We'll say it was developed by ourselves. The consciousness-sensing helmet can be made by ourselves, and the virtual host won't cost much."

This is essentially an enhanced version of the War God Palace, but its scope is limited to one Earth. It's a very ordinary thing and not expensive.

Many planets have corresponding virtual spaces.

"Early, Earth will undergo a new educational reform, establishing 'Star River University' branch campuses in various countries, with Jia Yi, Mohanderson, and others personally serving as principals. Only the most outstanding students will be qualified to enter and receive the best training."

"They are the absolute elite. In the process of clearing out the monsters, I left some islands behind and even raised monsters myself. Those islands will be the training grounds for their learning process."

"However, this is only a temporary measure. In ten years, we may even have our own Trial Planet, where we can transport warriors to undergo trials via large transport ships and set up monitoring systems to prevent them from killing each other."

"Our ordinary people can at least earn money through a large number of industries and diversified fields, and have room for upward mobility. Their children will not be able to lose at the starting line because of their family background, even if they have talents. Otherwise, it will only lead to a vicious cycle where poor children cannot afford anything and will be quickly eliminated at the beginning of school."

"In that case, social classes would solidify very quickly and mobility would be blocked. What would be the point of talking about human evolution then? I hope that everyone can easily provide the resources to support their children all the way up to the college entrance examination stage, and then provide them with education according to their aptitude, so that those who are truly talented enough to enter Star River University will not be overlooked."

Luo Feng asked curiously, "So, do you plan to let them access the Virtual Universe?"

"No." Lin Yan shook his head directly. "The Virtual Universe must be controlled to a very small area. Everyone who connects to the Virtual Universe Network must undergo strict screening and must not reveal any information to the outside world."

Thunder God asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Lin Yan replied, "Because we must first establish our own cultural confidence before the Earth can begin to connect with advanced civilizations. Otherwise, the cultural beliefs of Earthling will collapse instantly, resulting in a large number of 'Earth-Hating Faction' and 'Outer-World Rounders' people, and even some countries clamoring to immigrate."

"I have no problem with them wanting to immigrate, but I won't allow anyone to cause trouble within the next ten years. After ten years, I'll arrange for them to leave Earth free of charge."

When they win first place in the Genius Battle and Jiuzhou Company becomes famous, this kind of cultural confidence will naturally arise.

The strongest on Earth is also the strongest genius in the universe.

Lin Yan said, "Actually, it's not difficult for Apprentice Level to transform into Planetary level. One Muya Crystal costs 10,000 Black Dragon Coin, which can allow an apprentice at the ninth level to break through to the Planetary level. Our World Tree Nutrient Pod is even cheaper, so we can easily enable everyone on Earth to undergo transformation."

Hong's eyes lit up.

"But I won't do that," Lin Yan added immediately.

Hong asked, "Why?"

"Because our social management simply cannot support a situation where everyone is at the Planetary level. Our official institutions must have a large number of Stellar level to do so, but Stellar level are very difficult to manage, and the resources required are completely different."

"If our Jiuzhou Company succeeds, I plan to promote the popularization of Planetary level on Earth between one and two hundred years. This way, in about two or three thousand years, the bloodline level of Earthling will be stable at the fifth level, and adults will be able to reach Planetary level."

"By then, when our Earthling genes are considered quite outstanding in the universe, that will be the time to truly unleash our power."

The "Longke Race" that Huyan Bo Soul Seizure could reach the Cosmic level upon adulthood, ranking among the top thirty in countless human bloodlines.

Reaching the Fifth-class Bloodline at the Planetary level in adulthood already surpasses the vast majority of planets.

Exploring further upwards would require a long period of time.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "So now, let's hold up this sky. Let's give the earth some more time and not rush things."

Hong stared at him blankly, then suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh, "We were both once the strongest in the world, and only now do I truly feel the gap between us."

He sat in that position for over forty years, and most of the treasures in Ancient Civilization Ruins fell into his hands. He originally thought he had done enough, but now, looking back, there are many things he could have done but didn't. He never thought about things from that perspective.

Hong was an assassin by trade. He never relied on the strength of the group, and even ignored it. Even the Limit Martial Hall should have developed very quickly with his presence, but in fact, apart from himself, there was not much difference between it and other forces.

But Lin Yan really taught him a lesson.

He is neither mean-spirited nor ungrateful, nor is he easily bullied. He is not arrogant even towards the most ordinary people, and he will criticize or praise national leaders and Councilor Level when necessary.

However, one can clearly feel the cohesion and creativity of Earthling under his leadership.

Lin Yan knows how to use these powers to create value beyond human imagination; this is the true blueprint for Earth's future!

A truly magnificent blueprint.

Lin Yan shook his head and said seriously, "Don't say that. What I want to achieve requires our joint efforts to move beyond empty talk and truly make it a reality."

"Whether we become bigger fish or leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into a true dragon, the future of Earth is now in the hands of the four of us."

"So trust me, and trust yourselves."

He said, word by word, "Even if you come from humble beginnings, you can still stir up a storm."

Tell me, is it up or down?
