New Members Join the Group, the Chat Group Upgrades!

The strange phenomena and commotion caused by taking a Sixteenth Order treasure out of a red packet sparked another round of discussion among everyone.

Seeing that the conversation had gone off track, Shi Yaoyao directly steered it back.

[Call Me Group Owner]: @Judicial God; True Monarch, have you decided whether to amend the Heavenly Rules? (curious.jpg)

[Judicial God]: Amend them! My Eight-Nine Arcane Arts have now reached perfection. With my physical body alone, I can rival a Quasi-Saint. As long as no Saint intervenes, I fear no one!

[Call Me Group Owner]: True Monarch is mighty! (cheering.jpg)

[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: True Monarch is domineering!

[Xiongba]: True Monarch is mighty and domineering!

"Ding, [Snow Moon Sword Immortal] has joined the Myriad Worlds Chat Group."

"Ding, [Qilin Talent] has joined the Myriad Worlds Chat Group."

Just then, two golden notifications flashed past, leaving everyone who had been watching the group stunned. Newcomers had joined?!

[Call Me Group Owner]: Welcome, newcomers. (enthusiastic applause.jpg)

As the group owner, Shi Yaoyao immediately reacted and swiftly sent a welcome message.

However, before she could open the member panels of the two new members to check their basic information, several more golden notifications flashed past.

"Ding, all upgrade conditions for the Myriad Worlds Chat Group have been met. Beginning upgrade..."

"Ding, the Myriad Worlds Chat Group upgrade is complete. New functions unlocked..."

"Ding, the [Group Announcement] function has been unlocked."

"Ding, the [Group File] function has been unlocked."

"Ding, the [Group Live Stream] function has been unlocked."

"Ding, the [Group Mall] function has been unlocked."

The string of notifications was deafening, plunging the group into silence.

Once the notifications ended, everyone recovered from their brief daze. Yet no one sent a message. Instead, they all began exploring the new functions that had appeared after the Chat Group's upgrade.

Bai Yu, who had originally been preparing to enter seclusion, saw that the Chat Group had finally upgraded and began examining the new functions as well.

The [Group Announcement] function had little to do with ordinary members. It was exclusive to the group owner and was used to issue important notices.

The [Group File] function was exactly what its name implied: members could upload files to the group for shared viewing.

The [Group Live Stream] function was, simply put, live streaming within the group.

Moreover, this was not a simple video livestream. One could watch it as though personally present, making it immensely immersive.

Of course, these functions were all minor ones. They merely added a bit of amusement and were not particularly important.

What everyone cared about most was the [Group Mall] function.

Even Bai Yu was quite interested as he began learning about the Group Mall.

The moment he opened the Group Mall, a new interface appeared. It was extremely unusual, as though it had completely detached itself from the Chat Group interface. A flash of golden light passed before his eyes, and it was as if he had entered the starry sky.

Countless stars twinkled, then fell, streaking across the night sky and forming a dreamy, beautiful meteor shower.

Afterward, the entire starry sky fell silent and dark.

Bai Yu watched the falling stars, divine light of laws filling his eyes as he pondered thoughtfully.

In the next instant, ten stars shining with golden radiance, like suns, slowly rose and hung in the starry sky.

These ten golden stars were the personal malls of the ten group members.

Members could freely enter any of the golden stars to buy and sell items.

Bai Yu directly entered his own personal mall. One of the stars blazed with golden light before drawing closer.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Yu entered the star, as if he had once again arrived in a silent, dim starry sky.

Then, with a wave of his hand, Bai Yu threw out a bronze bell radiating divine light of laws. It transformed into a purple star and hung high above.

This counted as uploading it to his personal mall. Anyone else could view it and then purchase it.

However, Bai Yu discovered that the mall seemed to be missing something.

What was the currency for transactions?

What were group members supposed to use to buy and sell items?

Surely they would not have to rely on the ancient and inefficient method of bartering?

At this moment, Bai Yu was not the only one to notice the issue. Aside from the two newcomers, who were still ignored and bewildered, all the other group members had noticed it as well.

Shi Yaoyao, the group owner within another golden star, naturally noticed the problem too.

At the same time, she had already figured out how to solve it.

As the group owner, she had the authority to determine what would serve as the standard currency in the Group Mall.

As a veteran webnovel reader, Shi Yaoyao immediately thought of the universal currency used in cultivation novels—spirit stones.

However, she quickly rejected the idea.

For group members like Lin Jiu and Xiongba, who had yet to become immortals, using spirit stones as the standard currency would not be a problem.

But for Grand Unity Golden Immortals like Yang Jian and Chonglou, spirit stones containing however much spiritual energy were completely meaningless.

Not to mention existences at the level of an Immortal Venerable. To them, spirit stones were simply a joke.

So what should be used as the standard currency of the Group Mall?

Furthermore, Shi Yaoyao had realized that although it was called the Group Mall, the Chat Group itself did not sell any items—at least, not currently.

For now, the Chat Group merely provided a platform for transactions.

That left all the group members somewhat disappointed.

After all, if it was merely for trading, the red packet function could also allow group members to trade with one another.

The Group Mall was simply more convenient, reducing the time they needed to communicate with each other.

Of course, as the Chat Group continued upgrading, the Group Mall might perhaps become different as well.

Bai Yu thought that since this Group Mall used the starry sky as its platform and stars as its shops, it had made such a grand display. Could it perhaps distribute one-time shopping cards throughout the myriad worlds, so that shopping would no longer be limited to group members?

Hmm, that idea could work. Later, he could ask the little group owner whether it was possible to make such a small, tiny adjustment.

Presumably, the Chat Group should have that capability.

After all, his Myriad Worlds Gate could scatter World Seeds throughout the Sea of Chaos of All Heavens to search for worlds.

Then the Chat Group could also scatter shopping cards throughout the myriad worlds. It was the same thing.

That way, every group member could reap endless benefits.

As for Bai Yu, if you bought his goods, hehe, then he could only open your gate and engage in free trade with you.

Well, although he held the right to interpret what "free" meant.

[Call Me Group Owner]: Big shots, let's discuss what we should use as the standard currency for the mall? (scratching head.jpg) (irritated.jpg)

Unable to make a decision, Shi Yaoyao began asking for help. She also wanted to see what ideas the big shots had.
