Yes, Bai Yu wasn't trying to negotiate with the group members, nor with the group owner, Shi Yaoyao. He wanted to negotiate with the Myriad Worlds Chat Group itself!
Although Low-grade Saint Spirit Stones were of no use to Bai Yu, Yang Jian and the others still couldn't afford to exchange for them.
That was because Yang Jian and the others couldn't offer Bai Yu satisfactory conditions or resources in exchange for these Low-grade Saint Spirit Stones.
The future Bai Yu needed to invest in wasn't just the group members' future, but the future of the Myriad Worlds Chat Group as well.
This Myriad Worlds Chat Group might not be as good as his system, but surely it couldn't be far behind.
Although the Myriad Worlds Chat Group wasn't of much use to Bai Yu at present, he wasn't in a hurry.
Moreover, it was precisely because the Chat Group was still in its early stages that Bai Yu had the chance to invest in it!
Bai Yu felt it was time for him to be an angel investor!
If he could get a stake in it, that would be a win-win for everyone!
Based on Bai Yu's earlier exploration of the Group Mall and his guesses, this Chat Group might be a damaged version. Shi Yaoyao might not have been its first group owner; she might not even have been the second.
There was no helping it. No matter how he looked at it, this Group Mall didn't seem complete. Not only did it lack the Chat Group's own stock of goods, but it was even missing its base currency.
Bai Yu thought of all the web novels about Myriad Worlds Chat Groups he'd read before transmigrating. Didn't they all have group currencies like points, which the members used to strengthen themselves or buy things?
How come this Chat Group had nothing at all?!
He couldn't help but wonder.
That was also why he'd come up with the idea of cooperating with the Chat Group, even investing in it in exchange for a stake.
Bai Yu wasn't greedy. All he wanted was for the Chat Group to give him Administrator status.
As the group owner, Shi Yaoyao actually had quite a lot of authority.
She could not only invite or kick out members at will; as long as she discussed it with the Chat Group, she could probably even obtain the highest level of authority.
For instance, the decision to set the Group Mall's currency this time fell within the scope of the highest authority.
So, since he couldn't become the group owner, Bai Yu had to get his hands on the Administrator position.
Only by first obtaining some authority in the Chat Group could he gradually seize even more.
One day, he'd be able to take complete control of this Chat Group.
Well, you had to have a dream. Who knew? It might come true.
So Bai Yu began trying to communicate with the Myriad Worlds Chat Group using his Divine Sense.
Bai Yu knew that whether or not the Myriad Worlds Chat Group had self-awareness, it could understand what he meant.
He'd already obtained public support just now.
Three Thousand Origin Laws shone around Bai Yu, while his Divine Sense carried their profound mysteries. With both reason and force, he tried to communicate with the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.
Perhaps the Chat Group was truly approachable and had no airs, or perhaps it really wanted Saint Spirit Stones as the Group Mall's base currency.
The instant Bai Yu tried to communicate with the Myriad Worlds Chat Group, he received a response.
Um... Was it really that eager?
Bai Yu was a little stunned, too caught off guard to react.
In fact, he'd been prepared to keep trying for a long time, even to wear it down with persistent pleading before achieving his goal.
Bai Yu had never lacked patience or perseverance when it came to achieving what he wanted.
Who would've thought it would be this easy?
This truly took Bai Yu by surprise.
He'd still been somewhat uncertain whether Saint Spirit Stones could help him achieve his goal.
After all, Saint Spirit Stones were something Bai Yu could casually refine in endless quantities.
And in Bai Yu's mind, the Myriad Worlds Chat Group was something that could be compared to his own system.
So he really wasn't sure whether the Myriad Worlds Chat Group would care about the benefits Saint Spirit Stones could bring.
From the looks of it, perhaps he really had underestimated Saint Spirit Stones?
Or was Saint Spirit Stone itself extremely important to the Myriad Worlds Chat Group?
Or perhaps what the Chat Group valued wasn't Low-grade Saint Spirit Stones, but Top-grade Saint Spirit Stones, which could help one comprehend Origin Laws to perfection?
Or even a currency of a higher level than Saint Spirit Stones in the future?
After all, Bai Yu had already decided that if Saint Spirit Stones could bring great benefits, he would definitely create a higher-level group currency in the future.
Once Bai Yu broke through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, he would be able to use the system's auxiliary Enlightenment Function to quickly comprehend the Three Thousand Origin Great Daos.
Naturally, Bai Yu could also create a "Spirit Stone" currency that could help people comprehend the Origin Great Daos.
Maybe that was exactly what the Myriad Worlds Chat Group valued?
So the Myriad Worlds Chat Group was investing in him too?
In an instant, Bai Yu's mind raced. He felt that he might have already guessed the right answer.
Could it be that this Myriad Worlds Chat Group also hoped to contain the Three Thousand Origin Great Daos within itself one day?
It sure was ambitious.
But for Bai Yu, this was a win-win.
Moreover, if the Myriad Worlds Chat Group wanted to advance further in the future, it would be at his mercy.
Once the Myriad Worlds Chat Group became his property, Bai Yu would be more than willing to help it advance further.
After sorting out his thoughts, Bai Yu began bargaining with the Myriad Worlds Chat Group, trying to secure greater benefits for himself.
After all, it was obvious that the Chat Group was the more eager party.
Bai Yu, on the other hand, wasn't in much of a hurry.
Of course, they didn't negotiate for long before reaching an agreement.
After negotiating with the Myriad Worlds Chat Group, Bai Yu had arrived at a very important answer.
The Myriad Worlds Chat Group had no self-awareness. The information it sent back during their negotiations had been cold, ethereal, and mechanical.
Perhaps the Chat Group would consider and accept anything that benefited it?
Of course, it was also possible that the Myriad Worlds Chat Group was putting on an act.
But if it was putting on an act, Bai Yu might be even happier.
Because that would mean the Myriad Worlds Chat Group couldn't threaten him.
Otherwise, why put on an act? Wouldn't it be simpler to come straight to the Great Thousand Primordial World and deal with him?
In any case, Bai Yu was now determined to claim the Myriad Worlds Chat Group for himself.
He had now obtained Administrator privileges and qualification as a High-grade Currency Issuer for the Chat Group.
The Myriad Worlds Chat Group's currency system had now been established.
Spirit Stones were the basic currency used by group members who hadn't yet become immortals.
Immortal Spirit Stones were the intermediate currency used by group members who had become immortals but hadn't yet reached the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
Saint Spirit Stones were the advanced currency used by group members at the Daluo Golden Immortal level.
