Chapter 806: Chapter 11: Mythical Version · Internet Addiction?

"As long as you’ve got a clear idea in your own mind."

After giving Wu Fan a deep look, Wu Peng turned his gaze to Wu Yang, who was watching the fun at the side.

"How’s your intel-gathering coming along over there? Managed to collect any more information?"

Hearing Wu Peng’s follow-up question, Wu Yang just chuckled lightly and took out a specially made Sound Transmission Talisman from his pocket.

That talisman wasn’t the usual octagonal faceted structure, but a tiny bronze doll.

"You lot have been busy lately, but it’s not like I’ve been idle either."

"Wu Lv has already sold these ’little toys’ all over the Ten Continents and Three Islands..."

"To be honest, handling this many complicated messages at once, even for me, it’s a first."

"And cooped up in this little courtyard every day, I’m about sick of it!"

"Big bro, you’d better think of some way to compensate me! Otherwise I really will go on strike!"

As if to confirm Wu Yang’s words.

The tiny bronze doll suddenly opened its eyes.

Correspondingly, bronze dolls in every corner of the Ten Continents and Three Islands began to operate quietly.

Those bronze dolls, acting as "nodes", would convert the various sounds and information they collected into signals and transmit them back to Wu Yang.

And the bronze doll in Wu Yang’s hand was precisely the processing hub of this vast information network.

Unfortunately, limited by his own Artifact Refining methods, Wu Yang couldn’t make real satellites and Tiangong that could operate autonomously like the Mountain People did.

Once it left Wu Yang, this bronze doll wouldn’t even qualify as a proper "bugging device".

"All the income from selling these bronze dolls will be yours..."

Seeing right through Wu Yang’s little scheme at a glance, Wu Peng promised helplessly.

Even though these bronze dolls were crafted jointly by the six siblings, and Wu Peng had contributed both materials and effort.

But since Wu Yang wanted the money, Wu Peng naturally wouldn’t fuss over such external possessions.

Besides, Wu Peng was a bit curious as to why Wu Yang had suddenly become so interested in money.

"Heh heh, I knew you were the nice one, big bro."

"Unlike that Wu Lv guy, he’s just manning the shop, yet he wants to hog all the income from selling these bronze dolls!"

Listening to Wu Yang’s complaints, Wu Fan, at the side, opened his mouth as if to speak but stopped, really wanting to say that Wu Lv wasn’t just "guarding the shop".

Whether it was Pills or bronze dolls.

Almost every link in the sales chain had been opened up by Wu Lv alone.

But thinking of how Wu Lv had decisively rejected his request to purchase medicinal herbs with the excuse of "insufficient funds", Wu Fan gave up on getting involved.

"Speaking of which, where’s Second Bro?"

Not noticing the fleeting expression on Wu Fan’s face, or rather, even if he noticed he didn’t care.

Wu Yang operated the bronze doll while curiously looking toward the back of Wu Peng.

"Didn’t he go out with you? Why didn’t he come back with you?"

At those words, it was Wu Peng’s turn to swallow awkwardly.

"Uh, something came up for him last minute, he’s not coming back for now."

Wu Yang blinked and, not the slightest bit suspicious of Wu Peng’s explanation.

After all, Wudi, as the second elder of the Enlightened Six Witches, aside from being a bit hot-tempered, his strength really was undeniable.

"Tsk tsk tsk, don’t tell me Second Bro’s caused trouble again?"

"Hope he doesn’t get caught this time; last time he really lost all face for our Enlightened Six Witches."

......................................................

Profound Garden Island, on the bustling commercial street.

"If I’d known doing business was this profitable, why’d I bother running around stealing medicinal herbs back then?"

Watching the busy assistants inside and outside the shop, Wu Lv quickly flicked his Eight Trigrams Compass, constantly calculating income and expenses.

For the Enlightened Six Witches, aside from the initial startup funds spent on medicinal herbs, the only other expense was renting this storefront.

After all, this was the most prosperous commercial street on Profound Garden Island, and this shop happened to be facing the harbor directly.

As long as the Alchemy skills were good enough, "raking in gold by the day" wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

Thinking of this, Wu Lv suddenly seemed to remember something and turned his gaze to the uniformly hung bronze dolls outside the shop.

Those were freebies bundled with Pill sales, and one of the shop’s signature features.

"Third Sis really doesn’t know how pricey rice, oil, and salt are until she’s running the household herself."

"If it weren’t for Pill sales being our main business, handing out these bronze dolls wouldn’t be so easy."

"And that brat Wu Fan too, what’s the point of buying so many high-grade medicinal herbs?"

"All the folks coming and going here are drifters and wanderers; they don’t have money for those high-end Pills at all."

Mumbling indistinctly, Wu Lv felt a headache just thinking of Wu Yang and Wu Fan.

Wu Yang was the only female among the Enlightened Six Witches.

Wu Fan was the youngest brother among the Enlightened Six Witches.

Each of them was hard to deal with individually, let alone the fact they’d been lumped together lately.

Wu Lv felt that once he got back today, he had to talk to Big Bro, and put some restrictions on these two’s spending habits.

Big Bro and Second Bro were always outside, so maybe they weren’t clear on the specifics.

But as the one in the Enlightened Six Witches holding the economic reins, Wu Lv understood better than anyone what those two had been up to recently.

Wu Fan didn’t even need mentioning; ever since he learned that having money meant he could buy medicinal herbs from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range in bulk, he’d been trying every possible way to purchase those outrageously expensive herbs.

If Wu Lv weren’t in charge of the finances, this shop would probably have gone under long ago.

As for Wu Yang?

That one might not need to buy those costly premium herbs, but you couldn’t stop her from developing an even more expensive habit.

[Zhao Gongming seems to call this behavior... online shopping?]

As this thought flashed through his mind, Wu Lv couldn’t help but pause what he was doing.

This wasn’t the first time Wu Lv had felt the Hundred Lands Mountain Range’s influence on this world, but it was definitely the most impressive.

Through Wu Zhen’s account, the Enlightened Six Witches had known for quite some time that the Hundred Lands Mountain Range was rolling out the "Star God Network".

As long as they had a special implant inserted, the Mountain People could connect to the "Star God Network" built from satellites and Tiangong.

At first, that Star God Network was just a system for internal communication and study.

But as time passed, a cross-distance "transaction model" quietly emerged from who knows when.

Users of the Star God Network only had to post their needs online, and someone would take the order.

From Cultivation Methods to cultivation supplies, from online data to offline physical goods...

Under the basic rule of "where there’s demand, there’s a market".

The Mountain People took less than a few short years to develop a formal "online trading platform".

With these platforms providing escrow, legitimate businesses gradually settled on the Star God Network and began extending this cross-distance new transaction model to regions beyond the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

According to unreliable insider rumors, the Star God Network was still incubating more new things, including games even more "addictive" than shopping.

Unfortunately, this world was ultimately different from Earth.

The Star God Network wasn’t just a virtual space; it was also a platform for cultivation and Spellcasting.

So the Hundred Lands Mountain Range side didn’t invest much effort in gaming, instead pouring more resources into aspects that could truly affect the real world.
