588 The Anxious Xie Haiyang! (1/2)
At the same time, there were numerous cultivators, both male and female, from the second batch of Federation Seedlings who became members of the Panel for Blind Dates, Friendship, and Entertainment. Their outstanding looks created a hype within the panel.
After that, Jin Duoming invited some Dao Palace disciples to become members as well. This way, in half a month, coupled with the boost from the activity in the Panel for Gossip, the Spirit Internet became all the rage.
More and more disciples came to know about the Spirit Internet, and many of them had logged onto it and browsed through it. That was especially so as Jin Duoming had even organized a massive blind date session…
In less than two months, while Wang Baole was still stabilizing his cultivation, Jin Duoming had already created a whirlwind amongst the Dao Palace disciples. He also rose to fame, and at the same time, the Spirit Internet had been accepted into the Dao Palace disciple's lives to a certain extent!
However, most of them only felt that it was for fun, not something they couldn't do without. That was until Sect Lord Xu communicated with Feng Qiuran. After Feng Qiuran thought about it and approved it, Jin Duoming opened up the third and most important panel of the Spirit Internet!
That was… the Panel for Services and Transactions!
Numerous Federation-made products and Dharmic treasures appeared instantly on the panel. At the same time, there were also countless daily essentials and a variety of snacks. Jin Duoming focused heavily on daily essentials. He seemed to have done some research and found that the Federation's immortal cultivation wasn't looked upon fondly by the Dao Palace. The Federation disciples lacked in the quality of refinement materials, but not in terms of daily essentials.
Those items immediately caught the attention of the Dao Palace disciples. Many of them were surprised after buying and trying out those items. That was especially so for some products targeted to the females, like fashionable clothes and hygiene products, which became such hot sellers that even Jin Duoming couldn't believe it.
At the same time, Jin Duoming also laid his eyes on the Dao Palace's mission stone stele. With Sect Lord Xu's support and Feng Qiuran's silent approval, Jin Duoming copied the stone stele onto the Spirit Internet, such that all the disciples could take on missions through the Spirit Internet!
If that were all, it wouldn't be considered significant. After all, in every cave abode, there was a small mission stone stele. Even though it couldn't be used to complete a mission and record it, it could still be used to check on and take on missions. Therefore, what Jin Duoming did was to bring a little more convenience for everyone.
However, to Jin Duoming, he knew that the Spirit Internet that he had created had the fundamental goal of bringing convenience to people. It may just be a little bit more convenient, but that would mean victory for Jin Duoming as well!
That was because, to him, convenience was the most powerful weapon in the universe. Once everyone grew used to the convenience, it would be difficult for them to change or kick the habit, as they wouldn't be used to it and would even find the change hard to accept.
That was indeed his plan as well. For example, the purpose of including news and gossip was to allow people to know everything that was going on without even stepping out or asking others. The blind dates and friendship panel achieved this goal as well. It integrated into the disciples' lives, such that they were no longer individuals but a community.
That was especially so for the Panel for Services and Transactions, which brought convenience to everyone in the most direct manner. Therefore, the emergence and operation of the Spirit Internet had an extremely strong impact on the Dao Palace, who were merely superior to the Federation in terms of immortal cultivation but not quality of life. The impact was so strong that to a certain extent, it exceeded that of the Anti-Spirit Bomb!
This way, the Spirit Internet became all the rage in the Dao Palace. Needless to say, if even a few Nascent Soul realm cultivators curiously checked it out, those disciples were naturally attracted to it as well.
To a certain degree, the novelty and convenience brought to everyone by the Spirit Internet had already accomplished the first steps to integration. It could be imagined that once the Dao Palace disciples had formed a habit, the Spirit Internet would basically become a permanent part of their lives.
Now that everything was on track, the payment system for the use of the Spirit Internet was also launched. Different panels had different usage costs, and even though it wasn't expensive to use it, Jin Duoming had managed to earn an astonishing amount of battle credits within a short period of time.
Wang Baole watched as the Spirit Internet grew from nothing into prominence. The threat that he felt also increased significantly, and the Spirit Internet and Jin Duoming became one of his most threatening opponents. However, Jin Duoming was someone who knew how to handle such matters well, and he sent Wang Baole some shares for the Spirit Internet.
