The new type of Jade Slips can bring great benefits to Wanshi Lou, and this benefit is still clear at a glance, without any risk - the old version of Wanshi Jade Slips can still be used, but it is impossible to use the new functions.
But in the future, when all employees will be able to use the new features, will anyone still use the old version of Jade Slips?
Ye Yan knew the result even if he didn't deduce it.
The so-called "general trend" refers to this situation.
In fact, although Wanshilou knew the inevitable result of the future, they did not know that this was actually the result of the word "monopoly" - jade slips are easy to copy, and they are not actually very sophisticated in themselves.
Even if the product is jointly developed by Lin Yiyi and Xu Xinhui and contains many puzzles and traps, it can still be copied if a formation master as famous as Lin Yiyi is willing to spend some time researching it.
But, it is just imitation.
For these jade slips to be effective, the really important core is the huge matrix server located under the Wanshi Building - that was 5,500 years ago, when Huang Zi gathered more than a dozen formation masters and magic weapons in the world.
The giant magic circle built by blacksmiths can connect the spiritual veins of the mysterious world with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. When it was first created, it encountered the Nine-Nine Purple Thunder Heavenly Tribulation that lasted for seven or seven days.
In order to preserve this heaven-defying magic circle, it was the first major loss of vitality that Wanshiwu had suffered since its establishment, and it also laid hidden dangers for subsequent divisions.
Therefore, without this magic circle that is equivalent to the server as a prerequisite, even if Wanshilou can grow, it will not be able to achieve a true monopoly. And it is precisely because the emergence of this huge magic circle in the Xuanjie is a disaster.
Because of He's move, those formation masters and magic weapon forgers who later left Wanshiwu did not create a second one.
Because this is not a feat that can be accomplished by one person.
At this time, in the Wanshi Building, whether it was Ye Yan, Cui Cheng, Tan Jingran, or Inuyasha, they were all silent.
On the other two seats next to them, there are projections of Bai Wen and He Qi.
Except for Huang Zi, it can be said that the top decision-making level of Wanshilou is all gathered together again.
But at this time, the atmosphere was a little weird.
"What... do you think?" It was Cui Cheng who spoke.
"How else can we look at it? Senior Huang has come to visit in person, so he must have a big conspiracy." Bai Wen curled his lips, "The game he mentioned is probably his real purpose."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Who doesn't know about such an obvious problem?
But Huang Zi didn't talk to them about the conspiracy, nor did he talk about any favors. He just ran over with an upright conspiracy. What can you do?
reject?
Wanshilou is not a charity organization, it can also generate electricity through love.
With such a big stall spread out, hundreds of Qi Condensing Pills are instantly evaporated with every second of breath - why are so many monks willing to serve Wanshilou just to earn money to maintain their daily practice?
Expenditure. However, with the successive closures of Tianyuan Secret Realm in the past few hundred years, the influence of Wanshi Building has been increasingly reduced, and now it is basically resting on its laurels.
They urgently need to solve the current predicament, which is why Cui Cheng, Bai Wen and others are so eager to solve the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider entrenched in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. If that thing is not solved for a day, the Tianyuan Secret Realm will not be solved.
Don't even think about reopening it. If the Tianyuan Secret Realm cannot be opened, the Canglan Small Secret Realm will not be able to attract other monks. The reduction in the flow of people means that the supply of goods is incomplete.
If such a vicious cycle continues, any normal person can predict what the outcome of Wanshilou will be.
If it hadn't been for Su Anran's outrageous operation that brought the Wanshi Forum back into the public eye and made other sects realize that the Wanshi Tower, which had stood in the Xuan Realm for more than five thousand years, was still a hundred-footed insect, it would have been replaced by other sects long ago.
The Youxin Sect took its place.
So at this time, the new type of jade slips sent by Huang Zi, as well as the improved matrix array method under Wanshilou, even if it is poison, Wanshilou has to hold his nose and swallow it, not to mention that this thing is given for free.
Then there is no reason to refuse.
It's just that we are all adults, so of course we don't think so one-sidedly.
Huang Zi has already left Wanshilou, so why should he give Wanshilou such a huge benefit in vain?
The answer is obvious.
And it was precisely because of this that Ye Yan held this meeting.
After all, if something goes wrong in the future, you can't bear the blame alone.
"I have read the terms and conditions, and I have also tried out the so-called game. Except that the terms are very similar to Senior Huang's domineering style as always, I am not optimistic about the game." Cui Cheng shook his head, "In my opinion, that game is probably
That is to say, we are just interpreting the three rankings of heaven, earth, and people... Originally we only ranked one name. It is difficult to give people an intuitive impression of the specific strengths. However, after playing this game, we have a more intuitive impression.
Already."
Both Bai Wen and He Qi were "running business" outside, so they couldn't return to Canglan Little Secret Realm for the time being. Naturally, they couldn't experience the game Cui Cheng mentioned, so they had to look at other people.
.
"I've also played it, but I think it's still too... bold." It was Tan Jieran who spoke, "I think it will offend a lot of people, because the so-called characters in it all involve the exercises and formulas of various sects. Those sects
I definitely won’t give up.”
"You have only seen the surface." Ye Yan shook his head, "Those formulas are just insignificant things, and the real core content has not been revealed. I think the reason why Senior Huang wanted to borrow the name of our Wanshi Building is because he wanted to
We endorse him and try to reduce the risks caused by this as much as possible."
Any sect's exercises, unless they are basic exercises that have gone out of fashion, will not be allowed to be published without permission by the sect as long as they are marked with the sect's mark and have been improved by the sect, otherwise they will be banned.
Treat it as a traitor.
Not to mention, what Su Anran used in it was not the formulas and drills of ordinary exercises, but already involved a lot of core content.
For example, the "Lin Yuan Fei Ferry" technique is a lightening technique that only the inner disciples of Shen Yuan Villa are qualified to practice. The outer disciples only hear its name but never see its shadow. But Su Anran directly uses it in the game.
Let’s summarize the basics of this exercise
I took out the formula of 1 and asked "Fang Jie" to practice it. Although a lot of details were deleted and made as vague as possible, for some monks with great talent or higher understanding, this is not the same as
It makes no difference if you give it for free.
But if you want to say that Su Anran was so brave that he ignored the unspoken rules of the mysterious world, and he didn't break the rules, it would be considered a sidestep at most.
Because if you really want to learn the light-weight technique of "Lin Yuan Fei Ferry", it is meaningless to just rely on a basic chapter. At most, it will only make your skills a little more agile. If you really want to use it in actual combat, it is still
Only by practicing the content of the advanced chapter in conjunction with the general outline can you truly achieve qualitative changes.
In a way, this is tantamount to advertising the Ape Villa - of course, people in the Mysterious World would not have the idea of advertising.
But Ye Yan can be sure that not only will Shenyuan Villa not cause trouble in Taiyi Valley, except that the old monkey can't beat Huang Zi - at this time, everyone, including Ye Yan, still thinks that this game is Huang Zi's.
Developed, after all, he also did such ridiculous things as promoting games, but the results that time were not good - on the other hand, it was also to make other martial arts practitioners realize the importance of body skills.
.
In today's Xuanjie, the two major holy places for martial arts: Dahuang City and Shenyu Villa, are always competing for the first place.
The concepts and ideas of these two companies are also different.
For example, Dahuang City follows the purest martial arts path, which focuses on physical strength. The ultimate goal is to develop a powerful and invincible body without fear of any invasion.
The concept of Shen Yuan Villa is that "the strength of martial arts lies in skills rather than martial arts." In other words, you may have strong cultivation and a treasure body, but you have no corresponding martial arts and only know how to use brute force.
Meaningless things.
The dispute between these two families has escalated to a fight for the "big road", so no one dares to be the peacemaker.
Of course, ordinary people can't afford it.
But the inherent weakness of the Ape Villa is that the old monkey is a demon after all, an alien species to the human race, and the practice of its sect's skills will also lead to some changes in bone growth, which is very popular among some monks.
This means that Shen Yuan Villa is often at a disadvantage in the competition with Dahuang City. Even if Shen Yuan Villa has more victories in the competition, it cannot change the fact that it is at a disadvantage.
Therefore, as far as the performance of "Fang Jie" in the game is concerned, it will be of great benefit to the Ape Villa.
And with the beginning of Shen Yuan Villa, if other sects want to make a fuss in this regard to attack Taiyi Valley, those lower-level monks who have benefited from this game will definitely not agree. Instead, they are likely to end up with a selfish and self-preserving villain.
Reputation and bad impression.
If we take into account Huang Zi's personal tyrannical force, the endorsement of their Wan Shi Lou's supportive attitude, and the acquiescence of Huang Zi to use his connections, such as the Great Sun Tathagata Sect, Wandao Palace and other sects, then I'm afraid there really is no such thing.
What more will people say on this matter.
After hearing Ye Yan's words, the others thought for a moment and understood the most critical point.
Endorsement from Wan Shi Lou.
Today, only Wanshilou has such a powerful intelligence collection function.
"Senior Huang, what a big game of chess to play!" Tan Lonely sighed.
"Hmph, what kind of chess piece is being played? It's obvious that he wants to cause trouble again." Cui Cheng snorted coldly, "This incident has completely pushed our Wanshi Building to the forefront of the storm."
"But it is undeniable that our Wanshi Building is also a vested interest." Bai Wen said, "As long as a game can really be launched online, with the endorsement of our Wanshi Building, it is equivalent to announcing that the way to obtain those skills and formulas is
Obtained through formal channels. So if someone doesn't want to join a certain sect, but wants to obtain the secrets of its sect's exercises, what do you think they will choose to do?"
Everyone's eyes changed slightly.
"This kind of precedent cannot be set." Ye Yan said solemnly, "Once it happens, our Wanshi Building will be eradicated by the nineteen sects working together."
"I know." Bai Wen nodded, "But what I want to say is that these people will immediately think of our Wanshi Building, so as long as our Wanshi Building still adheres to the principle of neutrality and is impartial in this matter
If we don’t help, will the Nineteenth Sect’s attitude towards us change because of this? In terms of influence and cooperation channels, what do you think the Nineteenth Sect will think?”
"From various aspects, the launch of this game will be of no harm to us." He Qi, who had not spoken yet, also spoke up at this time, "But can the terms of cooperation really be non-negotiable?
?...We only provide a playing platform for this game, but we have no right to make any changes to this game, and we must also provide all the information Taiyi Valley needs for free. Then if we want Taiyi Valley to cooperate with us in updating Tiandiren
What should I do if I’m ranked third?”
"There is no room for negotiation on this clause." Ye Yan shook his head, obviously he had tried it before, "But Senior Huang said that all the information we provide for free will only be the information of those sect disciples.
The most we have is some documentary records and information, etc. If other information is needed, we will buy it from us at market prices."
"What if we reject the clause?"
"Then we have to pay for the new jade slips ourselves."
"Isn't it difficult to imitate?" Tan Jingran asked again.
But this time, no one answered.
Inuyasha even sneered disdainfully.
"The new jade slips can indeed be imitated if we are given time, but what is really difficult is the updating and maintenance of the matrix array." Ye Yan sighed, "This array was founded by Senior Huang. He said before that we
Without technological innovation, we have been stuck in the same place. Do you think that’s what we thought?... Wanshilou has not preserved the design drawings of the formation at all. We still don’t understand the various lining functions of that formation. Where are they?
There are ways to make modifications and technological innovations.”
After hearing Ye Yan's words, Tan Jingran also fell silent.
"That means we have no choice?"
"No." Ye Yan shook his head, "Don't ask me about the results of the deduction. With the existence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, even if I increase my deduction skills by dozens of levels, I still don't dare to do it. Any backlash or counterattack will make me fall on the spot.
."
"Then... what about observing and practicing for a period of time before making any changes to the agreement?"
"Ha." Cui Cheng sneered, "Senior Huang, do you think the word "senior" is in vain?... The terms clearly state that once the agreement is established, it will never be changed unless the era is destroyed. This is a direct effect.
Yu Shenhun's oath goes straight to the Taoist heart. Once a contract is signed, who dares to go back on it?"
There was another moment of silence.
"Inuyasha, you..."
"Don't ask me." Inuyasha, who had been silent all this time, curled his lips, "Asking means signing."
"Lick the dog." He Qi muttered softly.
She recently learned the word "dog licking" from the Wanshi forum.
It is said that Su Anran invented it and is specifically used to describe those followers who are focused on someone.
"I'm happy to."
Dogs not only have smart noses, but also smart ears.
"Then let's agree to this matter." Ye Yan sighed, "Next, what I want to discuss is the sale price of the new type of jade slips... If the price mentioned by Senior Huang is really followed, I am afraid that it will be below third-rate.
None of the sect disciples can afford it, let alone those who are third-rate and inferior."
The pricing mentioned by Huang Zi before, and the Qi Condensing Pill mentioned, refer to the regular trading grade in Xuanjie: top grade Qi Condensing Pill.
However, for general sects, such as the entry sect, the Qi Condensation Pills distributed to inner disciples for daily practice are mid-grade Qi Condensation Pills. Some poorer entry sects simply use low-grade Qi Condensation Pills.
There is a fundamental difference between the two.
And even fourth-rate sects may not all be able to issue high-grade Qi-Condensing Pills. Even in many fourth-rate sects, inner disciples only have ten mid-grade Qi-Condensing Pills every month.
Only third-rate or above sects can truly stably supply top-grade Qi Condensing Pills to their disciples. This is also one of Wanshilou’s hard indicators for judging a sect’s comprehensive strength. But even so, an ordinary inner sect disciple of a third-rate sect
, there are only ten to twenty high-grade Qi Condensing Pills every month. If there is no chance, even if he wants to buy a new low-grade simple white jade slip, it will take two to four years.
This is the result of him not consuming even a single Qi Condensing Pill.
"What about the production cost?" He Qi asked.
"I took a look and found that if the technology is skilled enough and the loss caused by production failure is not considered, the production cost of the lowest-grade new jade slips is about thirty-five Qi Condensing Pills. If the loss risk caused by failure is taken into account,
The cost will probably be increased to eighty Qi Condensing Pills." Ye Yan replied.
"It costs at most eighty Qi Condensing Pills to make, but it costs five hundred Qi Condensing Pills to change hands? And if you change the color, you can sell it for one thousand and eighty?" He Qi looked incredulous, "Then I am working hard outside.
After working hard for a year and a half, I managed to bring in a business worth tens of thousands of Qi Condensing Pills to Wanshilou. After deducting a bunch of costs, why not just sell fifty of them for nothing?"
"So I said, if the price is really based on this, it is impossible for so many people in Xuanjie to afford it." Ye Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's why I want to ask you, what do you think this new type of jade slips cost?
How to price it appropriately?”
"I don't care how you set the price. Anyway, I don't plan to run out anymore. Whoever you want can go." He Qi said angrily.
Ye Yan, Cui Cheng, and Tan Jieran did not speak.
Because they were also shocked by the cost and the price Huang Zi opened before.
For the first time, they felt that money could still be made in this way?
…
Regardless of how Wanshilou negotiates.
After Huang Zi met with Ye Yan and others and explained clearly about the new jade slips and the game, he left.
For him, there is no need to wait for any notification of results.
Of course, I am not worried that Wanshilou will dare to steal his own things.
Because everything is exactly as he said.
He is already the strongest in the Xuan Realm. At worst, he will just hit the door when the time comes.
Of course, Huang Zi didn't think there would really be a day when he would need to knock on the door.
As long as Inuyasha is still a member of the six-person banquet, Wanshilou will not have any thoughts against him.
As for targeting Taiyi Valley?
That's just making some fuss about his disciples.
After all, as long as you don't become an Earth Immortal, you will still appear in the top three rankings of Heaven, Earth, and People.
But these are not things Huang Zi would consider.
He was certain that in order to re-establish and enhance his reputation, Wanshilou would definitely not sell the new jade slips at the price he had stated.
He can also be sure that Wanshilou will definitely underestimate the potential of this game. He may even think that this game can bring Wanshilou popularity.
But actually?
The corners of Huang Zi's mouth raised slightly.
If everything goes as smoothly as Su Anran expected, Wanshilou will probably have to make Su Anran's wedding dress by then.
