Deep Blue Information

"Deep Blue Knows what this software is used for?" Li Yuan is very familiar with mobile phones and already knows how to refer to apps as software.

"It's a platform for asking questions and then having people answer them!" Yang Ning said.

"Let me see!"

Some software is completely empty, such as music and videos, while Yang Ning has uploaded content to other software.

Without exception, they were all very interesting!

"Why are there so many questions?" Upon opening the software, Li Yuan saw rows of questions displayed on the screen, with not a single answer.

"I was just asking!"

Li Yuan rolled up his sleeves. "Don't let my current status as an Artifact Forging Master. Back in my school days, I was always number one in my class. Watch me solve these problems. Hmm, why do people have two eyes?"

Yang Ning looked at Li Yuan, Li Yuan blinked.

"No, why do people have two eyes?"

"Yes, why?" Yang Ning countered.

"Ah, this..." Li Yuan scratched his head. Right, why?

Humans have two eyes, isn't that normal? Why would anyone ask such a question?

"Is this even a question?" Li Yuan asked. "Isn't this common sense?"

"It's common sense, that's why I said I was just asking!" Yang Ning said with a smile.

Li Yuan had no idea that when civilization is highly developed, an interesting question is more valuable than the answer to a question, so he really thought that Yang Ning had just asked this question casually.

"I don't know how to answer your question. You tell me, why do people have two eyes?" Li Yuan asked.

"Because a person has one eye on the left and one eye on the right, one plus one equals two, so a person has two eyes in total," Yang Ning said with a smile.

"I see," Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully, but then felt that something was still off.

"This phone you made is definitely better than the old Identity Jade Token!" After studying it for a long time, Li Yuan had only tried about one-tenth of the existing software.

But he's already quite fond of it.

"So, do you think there's a market for this Identity Jade Token?" Yang Ning asked.

"Market?"

"So, can they be sold or not?" Yang Ning asked.

"That's definitely a good idea!" Li Yuan nodded. "This phone is so much better than the Identity Jade Token; anyone would want to get one!"

"How about we form a chamber of commerce to sell this kind of thing?" Yang Ning suggested.

"Huh?" Li Yuan blinked. "Doing business?"

"Isn't that allowed?" Yang Ning asked. "Shouldn't inner disciple be allowed to engage in business?"

"It's possible, but I haven't thought about going into business yet. Besides, we are cultivators; shouldn't our focus be on cultivation?" Li Yuan asked, "Won't going into business interfere with cultivation?"

"We don't need to work 24 hours a day, and cultivators can handle affairs extremely quickly. An hour, half an hour, or even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn is enough!" Yang Ning said, "There's plenty of time left, isn't there? We certainly can't let business interfere with our cultivation!"

He had worked before and knew that there was only so much to do each day; it was common to slack off for seven hours out of the eight-hour workday.

The boss is busy? That's even more absurd. Xiao Wang himself said that Lao Wang is busy all day on the show, which is all performance, but usually he's only busy for four or five hours a day.

Old Wang is just an ordinary person; his speed in handling affairs is far slower than that of a cultivator.

"And think about what you do every day. Do you have a lot of spare time?" Yang Ning asked again.

"Uh," Li Yuan head. He really did have a lot of free time, and he spent most of his spare time practicing weapon crafting.

If we change it to a job, that seems like an option too?

"But I don't know anything about managing a chamber of commerce!" Li Yuan asked. "You want me to manage a weapon-refining workshop?"

"Then you'll manage the weapon-refining workshop, handling production. Leave the sales and operations to me!" Yang Ning asked, "How about it?"

"That's a good idea!" Li Yuan nodded immediately, then asked, "So, this thing can make a lot of money?"

"Absolutely!" Yang Ning said, "Such a great phone, selling it for a thousand taels isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"Isn't it a bit too cheap?" Li Yuan asked. "Besides, silver is useless to me! Inner disciple's Identity Jade Token costs one Spirit Stone each. This phone is much better than inner disciple's token; I'd sell it for five Spirit Stones!"

"Too narrow-minded! Too narrow-minded!" Yang Ning asked mysteriously, "Do you think earning silver is more important, or earning Spirit Stone?"

"It must be Spirit Stone!" Li Yuan answered without hesitation.

Yang Ning shook his head.

"Then it can't be silver, can it? That doesn't make sense!" Li Yuan asked again.

Yang Ning continued to shake his head.

"No, not Spirit Stone, not silver, then what's important?" Li Yuan was completely bewildered.

"Cultivation, of course, cultivation is the most important!" Yang Ning reminded him, "Weren't you just worried that doing business would affect your cultivation?"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" Li Yuan nodded hurriedly, but his doubts only increased. "But, only Spirit Stone can be used for cultivation, how can you cultivate if you accept silver?"

"I ask you, in Taiheng, besides Spiritual Qi, what else is needed for cultivation?"

Li Yuan and said, "Luck?"

Yang Ning nodded. "Which is easier to obtain, Spirit Stone or luck?"

"Those must be Spirit Stone!" Li Yuan. "The best resources have already been taken by our predecessors, and we're left with only scraps, making cultivation increasingly difficult."

"Where does that luck come from?" Yang Ning asked again.

"Humans!" Li Yuan blinked. "Human fortune, prosperity, and longevity, the rise and fall of nations, and even sects and Lineage can all bring fortune!"

"So what we need to do isn't to make money, but to promote the phone as much as possible!" Yang Ning tapped the phone. "Haven't you noticed that many apps on the phone have a 'follow' button?"

"There really is!" Li Yuan.

"This 'attention' refers to one person following another's activities, statements, and behavior!" Yang Ning said, "Why would he pay attention to you? Because he knows you, likes you, and admires you! So, if you have such an admirer, will you gain good fortune?"

"It definitely will!" Li Yuan nodded, then gradually understood.

"If only one person uses the phone, you'll have at most one admirer. But if ten thousand people use it, you might gain a maximum of ten thousand admirers. How many people are there in Taiheng? How many people are there in the whole world?"

"Ah, this!" Upon thinking of this, Li Yuan's eyes immediately turned red with envy. Yes!

He may not receive the good fortune of people from other countries, but if they spontaneously worship him, then it's not his fault!

This seems to be a completely new method for collecting luck!

The key point is that this doesn't conflict with the methods used by the older generation to collect fortune. I only asked him to worship me, not to betray his country. He's still honestly farming and supporting his family, and his country is doing just fine, isn't it?

"And what's more!" Yang Ning continued, "Are we Taiheng people only able to collect the fortune of the Taiheng territory?"

"That's right!" Li Yuan's eyes widened even more. "Exactly! If this phone is sold to other sects' territories, then the luck and fortune of people from those sects can also be collected!"

He initially made the phone simply to help a friend, but now that he's realized its value, he can't sit still any longer.

Li Yuan did indeed enjoy weapon crafting, but his switch to weapon crafting might have been driven by a desire for differentiation and to gain a share of the fortune associated with weapon crafting.

But right now, how many Artifact Forging Masters are there in the entire Taiheng? Compared to the entire world's population, they're nothing!

"I understand!" Li Yuan's eyes widened like saucers. "I'm willing to join, what do you want me to do?"

"I'm setting up a Deep Blue Information Technology Co., Ltd.., and you'll be the Chief Technology Officer!" Yang Ning said. "Our phones can't stay the same forever; they need to be constantly updated, roughly once a year, with a global launch event each time. You see the live streaming function on the phone? All users can watch the live stream through this software, and as the Chief Technology Officer, you'll naturally have to stand up and explain the phone's features at each launch event!"

"The more users your phone has, the more people will see you, know you, and those who learn technology will admire you because of your greatness! Your good fortune will naturally flow endlessly!"

"Let's do it!"
