A Gift for You

Having cast a spell to "Lifeform Avoidance," Master Kentji walked the streets of Canaan City.

This is the main city of the association, and also one of the most prosperous and populous cities on the continent today.

As for where the association is located...

Kentji looked up at the sky.

Layers of white clouds floated gently, contrasting beautifully with the azure sky. Occasionally, a passing cloud would reveal the silhouette of a cluster of buildings—that was the location of the Association, the largest Floating City on the continent, an epic place where countless legendary magics had been preserved, a place that even the gods admired.

Of course, Canaan City no less impressive.

This place is a gathering place for almost every race on the continent: elves, half-elves, dwarves, dragonblood creatures, hellish creatures, and even demons and devils of the benevolent faction...

The fact that the various ethnic groups can live together harmoniously here is entirely due to the management of the association.

certainly,

Master Kentji didn't go out today to tour Canaan City nicknamed "Heart of the Continent"—he'd seen it for almost six hundred years and was thoroughly tired of it. He went out to examine the contraption his disciple had recently created.

What was it called again?

Oh, Online Shopping Mall.

The core concept is said to come from the historical "Magic Net," where mages can learn and master magical knowledge through their Magic Net. Although they cannot ultimately retain it, this method is worth learning from.

This allows ordinary people, or even nobles from various countries, to purchase local specialties from thousands of miles away without leaving their homes through the association's Magic Network.

The association is responsible for the transit and operation within this system! My disciple shared many ideas.

It also describes many prospects.

For example, although the platform requires a large initial investment and doesn't generate much profit, once it attracts a large user base, it can then attract advertisers and merchants. Furthermore, the Online Shopping Mall platform can also charge display fees and management fees...

It was full of incomprehensible terms.

But this doesn't prevent the Master Kentji from understanding the core of it.

This is truly a brilliant idea! The guild's Teleportation Array and stations scattered throughout the land can themselves serve as hubs for cargo transportation. Although the price for using a Teleportation Array Teleportation Array is high, guild mages and certified adventurers can use it at half price. Besides, with so many mages and adventurers traveling to so many places every day, what's wrong with letting them carry some goods? We can just offer some discounts!

The Master Kentji shared this idea, even suggesting it could be developed into an industry.

His disciple was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then exclaimed sincerely, "Teacher, you are a fucking genius!"

Oh, are you praising yourself?

Hahahaha~ Of course I'm a genius, teacher! Otherwise, how could I become a legend? Anyway,

With his own endorsement, his disciple's idea was quickly put into practice. Similar "Network Point" were built in Canaan City and the capitals of several other great nations—a term also coined by that disciple.

Ha, my own disciple is a true genius! Incredible! As for building the platform's communication network and facilities, that's simple. The association's internal control system for coordinating flight control warships can handle this level of long-distance communication. Although it's still not cheap, Master Kentji isn't short of money! To be precise...

It's because my own disciple has earned a tremendous amount of money recently! And...

Once this platform is built, the beauty products from our own disciples, as well as the management fees and entry fees from various chambers of commerce that require them to join, will generate a considerable income! In addition, our own disciples have also set up communication sections, live streaming sections, etc., and you have to pay to join these sections.

Of course, as one of their own disciples said, the platform should not exploit resources to the detriment of sellers, but rather should provide excellent service to protect the rights and interests of both sellers and buyers.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense.

Thanks to the association's promotion, nobles from various royal cities became very curious about this novelty and began placing orders. They even specially recruited a group of apprentices to handle "online and offline" customer service—oh right, what's that called again?

customer service?

Hmm, these are all strange terms invented by our own disciples.

But I must say, it's quite fitting.

Currently, many customers have placed orders, but this still cannot cover the initial investment. However, that's alright. Once similar Online Shopping Mall and stores expand to every corner of the mainland, large quantities of goods will be centrally shipped to major cities, and then "couriers" will be dispatched to deliver the goods to customers' homes.

This not only saves a lot of money on Teleportation Array but also brings in a great deal of benefits.

It can also extend the association's influence to every corner of the mainland.

Kentji is even negotiating business with elves and dwarves.

The Kentji lineage will reap enormous profits, their influence within the association will grow even stronger, and their power will increase daily! All of this is thanks to his beloved disciple! Thinking of this, Master Kentji was filled with immense satisfaction!

He took out a long, flat object from his Spatial Ring. This was a communication device, an idea provided by his beloved disciple, which he personally crafted. His disciple named it "Mobile Phone"—a handheld communication machine. In fact, the association already possessed similar transmitters. The transmission of magical audio and video could achieve real-time communication.

However, this kind of communication is too expensive.

Only the most advanced magic warships and armed units are equipped with communication devices.

This gadget, invented by one of his disciples, is a communication device designed using the "Docking Magic Induction Resonance Principle." Currently, it can only make voice calls, and it's not cheap.

But at least it provides a completely new idea and direction.

Master Kentji has ordered his laboratories to expedite the research, and it is believed that this device will soon become popular across the mainland.

Ah~ Master Kentji is truly gratified; his beloved disciple has given him so many surprises.

He dialed his beloved disciple's cell phone with a cheerful expression. After the call connected, he said with a smile, "Gwenia, I checked on the operation of the Online Shopping Mall. It's running smoothly. You really are a genius!"

Lin Xiaowei said, "Teacher, the fees for using the Network Point can be lowered further so that ordinary people can afford it. Also, we can allow some small and medium-sized merchants to join the mall, but we must ensure that prices and quality control are guaranteed so that buyers are not cheated."

Master Kentji laughed heartily, "Don't worry about that, no one has ever dared to fool me."

No one would dare to fool the association...

that is...

It seems like even the devils in hell are testing and manipulating the "Internet"—this is the ultimate goal planned by my precious disciple... to dominate the Internet?

Something feels off.

But for some reason, I find it really impressive.

Oh, it's said that those devils were also testing and manipulating the Internet —for example, a certain devil lord from hell sent his Succubus to the live streaming section to broadcast... and sure enough, it attracted a lot of people! They even made a lot of money, and the Succubus also took the opportunity to harvest a wave of souls.

However, he was quickly stopped by his own disciple, who then sent him to Hell for a "friendly" exchange with the Hell Overlord.

And they left hell with the bewitched souls.

After this incident, their own precious disciple even specially established a "Internet Supervision Department" to supervise such reviews in order to prevent such things from happening again.

In response,

Some of the Hell Overlord expressed strong protest, saying it was discrimination against them...

Isn't that obvious?

We've been discriminating against you for quite some time now.

However, the Drow Elf became incredibly popular after joining the live streaming section, bringing considerable revenue to themselves and the platform. This made those guys from Hell even more envious.

After chatting for a while, Master Kentji said, "Gwenia, is there anything you want? How about I give you a Magic Tower?"

Lin Xiaowei: "Teacher... you're making it easy for people to criticize you."

Kentji laughed, "Who dares?"

My disciple's achievements are known to all; anyone who dares to gossip about Laozi, I'll kill them! Lin Xiaowei: "By the way, I remember you have a tamed ' Dark Flame Shadow Demon ' Life Core; could you give it to me?"

Master Kentji was somewhat puzzled. "Didn't you already have the Judgment Angel Sleepless Saintess of the Aita God Race, as your familiar? What do you need ' Dark Flame Shadow Demon ' for? You can't handle two familiars with legendary potential, can you?"

Of course it's not for doing!

Lin Xiaowei asked stiffly, "Will you give it to me or not?"

Master Kentji quickly replied, "Here you go, just go to Orlando to collect it."

After hanging up the phone, Master Kentji coughed twice, afraid that some old monsters might have witnessed his embarrassing moment—that would be too shameful. He sensed for a while, and after confirming that no one was watching, he breathed a sigh of relief, then used telepathy to give orders to his Arcane Ice Servant.

After doing all this, he strolled through the streets of Canaan City once again.

Many things have changed.

And he,

He was already the creator and leader of this transformation; in his excessively deep and calm eyes, it seemed as if a new era was brewing.

But he wasn't at the top of that era.

Instead...

Gwenia!

Lin Xiaowei received the "Dark Flame Shadow Demon" Life Core from Orlando, took out her phone, and happily texted Li Yao: "Come on! Call me Daddy, I'll give you a present!"

This is the second update, still nearly 3,000 words long. The updates were unstable a few days ago due to the Wuzhen Theatre Festival, which kept everyone waiting. Now the updates are back to normal, and I hope you enjoy reading.

In addition,

I hope everyone will give me lots of support and rewards.

With these results, I'm panicking...
