Lu Changsheng wandered around this tiny place and gained a general understanding of the Internet's development.
For now, there were square crystals similar to mobile phones, loaded with a few little games. Then came functions like QQ, allowing voice chats, face-to-face chats, and features like the Space Feed.
After making a full round, he discovered that games only ranked second in popularity here. More cultivators and ordinary people preferred using the Space Feed.
Like the scene just now: whenever a cultivator slew a demon, they had to take a photo as a memento and post it on their Space Feed, after which a whole crowd of cultivators would like and comment below.
Some cultivators' first task upon getting up in the morning was to stand atop a mountain, take an exceptionally immortal-looking photo of themselves, then post it to their Space Feed with a passage that sounded profound but was actually meaningless, all to show off their lofty virtue and profound cultivation.
This feature also greatly increased the connection between mortals and cultivators.
By using Shake, mortals had a high chance of successfully adding cultivators as friends.
Those who knew the ropes would smoothly like, comment, and flatter them in one go, giving themselves a decent chance of receiving guidance from that cultivator.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng discovered that those using the Internet here seemed to all pass around the same phrase: Emperor Ye, founder of the Internet.
This left him slightly surprised. He immediately performed a finger calculation to see what exactly had happened.
Only then did he learn that the system had told that Grand Unity Golden Immortal his surname was Ye and his name was Hei. In order to curry favor with him, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal had come up with this line, letting everyone know that a powerful expert surnamed Ye had created the Internet to benefit them all. Over time, the classic saying "Emperor Ye, founder of the Internet" came into being.
After finishing his tour, Lu Changsheng came before that Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
At that moment, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal was showing off a Spirit Branch he had just acquired, his face practically glowing with delight.
The sight made Lu Changsheng frown.
"Ah, m-m-milord!" Only after uploading his Space Feed post did the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realize that someone had silently entered his residence. When he looked carefully, he was so frightened that he nearly dropped to his knees.
"Mm. I have seen the Internet you created," Lu Changsheng said expressionlessly.
"Gulp." The Grand Unity Golden Immortal swallowed hard and cautiously asked, "Then... does that mean I've completed my task?"
"If you hadn't completed it, you would already be dead." Lu Changsheng said blandly, "You would not have had the chance to take photos and post updates."
"Heh, hehe." The Grand Unity Golden Immortal scratched his head awkwardly.
"Although the task is complete, it is not enough. I want you to keep upgrading it." As he spoke, Lu Changsheng raised a hand and sent another ray of light into the Grand Unity Golden Immortal's forehead.
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal's eyes went blank for a fraction of a second before he came back to himself. He exclaimed, "Lord Ye, your ideas truly are marvelous."
He clearly possessed such immense strength, yet he also had such ingenious ideas. The Grand Unity Golden Immortal was instantly struck with awe. No, the word "heavenly being" did not deserve the man before him at all.
"Work hard. Prove yourself through your actions." As he spoke, Lu Changsheng flicked out a fragrant pill from his hand. The Grand Unity Golden Immortal felt refreshed and clear-headed just from smelling it. His eyes widened as he looked at the pill, then at Lu Changsheng.
"Milord... this is?"
"Your reward."
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal hurriedly caught the pill. As a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, how could he not know how extraordinary it was? Just smelling it had affected someone at his level so greatly. If he ate it, his strength would surely rise considerably.
"Keep it up. I have faith in you." After leaving those words behind, Lu Changsheng vanished in a flash.
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal took a deep breath. Sure enough, following a big shot was far better than struggling alone.
He made up his mind. This time, he would definitely do even better! He would make Boss Ye see him in a new light!
But just as he was about to start working, Lu Changsheng returned.
"Boss, is there anything else?" the Grand Unity Golden Immortal hurriedly asked.
"You..." Lu Changsheng could not help himself. "Stop posting pictures of your treasures on the Space Feed. It could easily invite a fatal disaster."
"Oh, okay, Boss." The Grand Unity Golden Immortal picked up his Crystal Machine and deleted the post he had just made.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction before disappearing once more.
Lu Changsheng was rather curious about what things would become if this continued developing.
Hong Huang Cyberpunk?
Hong Huang: Collective Shut-ins?
The Chat Group was peaceful and harmonious.
Shinobu Kocho: Ever since I was hit by True Monarch's Saint's Eye, I understood just how terrifying that move was. True Monarch previously sent out a Red Packet containing one of them, and I managed to grab one. It came in handy today.
Yatogami Tohka: ? Spit it out!
Shinobu Kocho: While killing demons at night, an Upper Moon Demon suddenly appeared. With True Monarch's Saint's Eye and the cultivation method True Monarch taught me, I was just a tiny bit away from subduing that Upper Moon Demon. If only my cultivation were a little deeper.
Takanashi Rikka: That sounds amazing.
True Lord of Future Expectations: Keep it up.
Iron Man: True Monarch's things have always been pretty good, that's for sure.
After Stark finished testing the battle armor True Monarch had given him last time, it caused an earth-shattering stir.
Its power was simply unbelievable.
Nick Fury, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., cornered him and bombarded him with questions, looking utterly stunned.
In fact, it was indeed a huge matter. That single Phoenix Missile had caused quite a few incidents, and he and S.H.I.E.L.D. had spent considerable effort resolving them.
Later, Stark told Nick Fury that he had met an extraordinary expert, and that his new armor had also been forged with that expert's help.
Naturally, Nick Fury wanted to meet the expert Stark had mentioned. However, Lu Changsheng had already returned to his original world, so Stark said that the expert had left and that they would meet if fate allowed it.
Then, after some dispute, Nick Fury filed a report and instructed Stark to wear this armor less often. Its destructive power was simply too great.
Stark agreed as well. He also felt that unless it was a critical moment, this Steel Crimson Phoenix Battle Armor should remain a trump card kept in reserve.
Batman: Stark is right.
True Lord of Future Expectations: @Shinobu Kocho, you can pass on the method I taught you to people you trust.
Shinobu Kocho: Really?! Wouldn't that be inappropriate? After all, it was a method True Monarch kindly gave us.
True Lord of Future Expectations: It does not matter. The path of cultivation is everywhere in Hong Huang. Methods below the Immortal Realm are not particularly precious.
Shinobu Kocho: Okay, True Monarch. Then I'll thank you on their behalf first~
True Lord of Future Expectations: Go ahead.
