CHAPTER 272: CHAPTER 259 OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES

This evening, the forum on All-Worlds Communication was even busier than usual.

Everyone was frantically discussing this latest update.

Now, All-Worlds Communication occasionally emits a faint, pale red glow, indicating that the system was updating.

But people still found it hard to believe.

Such powerful capabilities, could they really evolve?

"Previously, if someone told me that a single Crystal Stone could transmit a voice thousands of miles, I wouldn’t have believed it either. But now, we’ve been using it for a long time. So, I’ve decided to believe!"

"Shi Nian has already created countless miracles! One more won’t hurt!"

"The main thing is! This update really looks too tempting!"

"Thousands of words boiled down to two! Update fast!"

"Don’t make me kneel down and beg you!"

"Once this feature goes live, won’t all those shops have to close down?"

"It’s only right they close! Buying low and selling high! Who knows how many Crystal Stones we’ve been cheated out of."

"But it’s not all bad, over the years, many items could only be purchased through these shops. This time, though, it really seems like a major reshuffle is imminent."

People were discussing fervently.

As soon as this update announcement was released.

The heads of some of the largest businesses in the Human Realm tried every means to contact Lin Bai.

Not because Lin Bai is the foremost person of the Human Clan.

But because Lin Bai and Shi Nian seem to have a personal connection.

This sudden functionality from the founder has really made it impossible for these shops to survive.

Lin Bai, after hearing the reports from Lin Ao, was completely stunned!

What’s going on?

Shi Nian just gave him a bunch of Jade Scrolls, he was considering how to properly deal with them! Just when he had barely thought for a while, suddenly another Explosive Charm was thrown at him!

Can’t Shi Nian stay idle for a moment?

Lin Bai quickly checked All-Worlds Communication and realized that both the brand-new cultivation method and the new features of All-Worlds Communication were epoch-making for the Human Clan.

Definitely good news!

But couldn’t these good things come one at a time?

At least space them out by a few days!

Now, the paramount person of the Human Clan had completely become Shi Nian’s assistant.

Lin Bai, with a face full of grievances, privately messaged Shi Nian all the bitterness of the merchants.

Shi Nian had already anticipated this.

In the world of her past life.

After the rise of online shopping, physical stores also faced a great impact.

Moreover, her version was an enhanced one.

Firstly, All-Worlds Communication will help verify if the product matches its description, preventing common online issues like receiving counterfeit goods from occurring here.

Secondly, the teleportation function of All-Worlds Communication is in real-time. One can receive the items without waiting, and returns and exchanges are also very convenient.

Under such circumstances, the downfall of the merchants is inevitable.

But that doesn’t mean there’s no way out for these merchants.

Shi Nian replied back: "Since it’s tough to do physical business for stores, why not move the shops to All-Worlds Communication? Compared to ordinary small-time vendors, they have more resources and a greater variety of products, and even if they do business in All-Worlds Communication, they would have a much greater advantage. For those old brand sellers, I will create separate interfaces for them so that their brand effects can continue to exist even within All-Worlds Communication. They just need to pay a little rent, certainly countless times cheaper than what a physical store space would cost."

"Moreover, physical shops are limited to serving customers from one locality. But being in All-Worlds Communication allows them to face the entire Human Realm. As long as their product quality is dependable, I believe their earnings should be better than before."

Lin Bai’s eyes lit up.

This was indeed a solution.

He met with these merchants’ owners and relayed Shi Nian’s words to them.

Giving up physical stores to do business in All-Worlds Communication?

The owners were still hesitant, but at the moment there was no better solution, so they agreed to it.

Moreover, what Shi Nian said made sense.

Once this function is launched, their goods would directly face all their target customers, not being confined to one location.

The large chain businesses were most worried, but the smaller shop owners quickly accepted this reality, even eagerly preparing to be the first to join All-Worlds Communication.

This upgrade continued for a full three days.

Three days later.

System upgrade completed.

The new shopping mall feature is now officially available.

Shi Nian’s backend immediately received countless requests to open shops.

There is a certain fee for opening shops of different scales on her side.

The lowest is only ten lower-grade crystal stones per month, and the highest is one high-grade crystal stone.

The big businesses, being rich and powerful, mostly opened the highest level shops immediately.

The highest level has a unique interface and includes a special trademark along with various additional benefits.

Xiao Tong, for this massive project, worked overnight to set up many little programs responsible for simple auditing and assistance.

With these smart programs in place, Xiao Tong doesn’t need to overextend herself.

Divine Martial Sect.

Lu Xingzhi is busy handling documents.

Suddenly.

A message pops up.

Asking if he wants to pay ten lower-grade spirit stones for the items that Ling Tian Sword Master has sent him.

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment.

He did know that the All-Worlds Communication was about to launch new features, but he was so busy he hadn’t immediately noticed that the system had been updated.

At this moment.

Ling Tian Sword Master had actually sent him items the moment the feature was launched.

Lu Xingzhi was somewhat touched.

Look everyone.

Although his Master seems unreliable and cold-heartedly left him alone,

in reality.

Master really cares about him a lot.

See?

He couldn’t wait to send him something.

Lu Xingzhi paid ten lower-grade spirit stones, and then.

Bang.

A stone the size of a fist appeared on the table.

Lu Xingzhi: "???"

Is this some kind of precious material?

He looked it over and still didn’t think so, so he couldn’t help but ask about Ling Tian Sword Master in the group, and also attached a photo of the stone.

Ling Tian Sword Master quickly replied.

"Hahahaha, it actually got delivered! Xingzhi, did you really spend ten lower-grade crystal stones?"

Lu Xingzhi: "???"

Ling Tian Sword Master laughed: "When I saw that you could choose to pay on delivery, I just tried it out. I sent rocks to everyone, and so far, only you have accepted it."

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

Shi Nian sympathetically said, "Senior brother, open the item details; you can see detailed information there. You’ll realize it’s just a random broken rock."

"Second Senior Brother must have been too busy." Lin Tiantian added insult to injury.

"Little junior sister, how can you say that." Yun Jian immediately interjected: "Second Senior Brother is just more naive. Pfft."

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

What the hell does adding a ’pfft’ mean?

Mu Nanqing: "I’ve sent some tasty treats to everyone, remember to accept them. I’ve already paid the postage."

Seeing the words ’postage already paid’, everyone finally relaxed and happily accepted the food.

While praising the delicious food, everyone also disdainfully criticized Ling Tian Sword Master.

Ling Tian Sword Master, unashamed, even asked Mu Nanqing for some wine.

Everyone: "..."

How did they end up with such a Master!
