Chapter 1639 - 520: The Development of the Dream Realm Shopping Platform, The Arrival of the Shopping Era_3
Father Ren sighed.
He felt that it truly lived up to be the legendary Immortal Artifact.
After all, no one in the human clan knows how many cultivators there are, nor how many transactions occur each day, nor how many products need to be transported. Yet, even so, the Dream Realm can handle such a tremendous amount of calculation without ever making a mistake.
Besides Immortal Artifacts, there’s basically no other way to achieve this.
But this is also quite normal.
After all, the Dream Soul Gu can devour the souls of countless beings, and these deceased souls serve as customer service agents, as servers, helping the Dream Soul Gu process the vast amount of data happening in the Dream Realm.
It’s precisely because of this that the Dream Realm can achieve such feats so effortlessly.
Moreover, for the Dream Soul Gu, the development of the Dream Realm brings immense benefits.
After all, the more the human cultivators use the Dream Realm, the more soul energy they leave behind.
This allows the Dream Soul Gu to receive ample nourishment and to grow rapidly.
The two are mutually reinforcing.
“But isn’t there any counterfeit goods among them?”
“What should one do if they purchase counterfeit goods?”
Ren Haofeng keenly sensed this issue.
If the products were sold by the government, the probability of buying counterfeit goods would be less.
But if it’s from personal shops, naturally, people would create counterfeits to maximize profits.
After all, the profits from counterfeiting are extraordinarily high.
If successful, one wouldn’t know how much wealth they could earn.
So, he felt that the probability of buying counterfeit goods in the Dream Realm was indeed too high.
“Haha, in the beginning, this was indeed a significant issue.”
“When the personal shop permissions were first opened, a large number of fraudulent merchants appeared.”
“These bastards substituted inferior products, engaged in false advertising, and amassed substantial illegal profits, leading to a flood of complaints.”
“It almost caused this regulation to die before it took effect, potentially reverting to the government-controlled transaction platform.”
“Later, His Majesty the Human Emperor used the power of the Book Realm to appraise the value of every commodity being traded.”
“Only through the Book Realm’s inspection could the items be sold within the Dream Realm.”
“Since then, counterfeit goods have nearly vanished in the Dream Realm.”
“Moreover, selling counterfeit goods would result in severe penalties, possibly even jail time.”
“Once discovered, the personal shop will be shut down, and even the account might be banned.”
“It’s for this reason that after three thousand years of development, every product on the Dream Realm shopping platform is legitimate, and there’s no need to worry about buying counterfeit goods.”
“If you really do accidentally buy counterfeit goods, you profit instead, as you’ll definitely receive ten times compensation for one fake.”
Father Ren smiled slightly.
He felt that his son really seemed to have grown up, able to think deeply about such matters.
Ordinary youths wouldn’t have such a keen perspective.
He could only say his son might be a genius with boundless potential for the future.
Perhaps he could easily surpass his own achievements.
“Father, did you also open a shop there?”
Ren Haofeng curiously asked.
He felt this was simply the trend of the times.
Any cultivator looking to make a fortune would likely need to open a shop there.
“Haha, of course.”
“Your mother and I are both Talisman Masters, and we opened a talisman shop there.”
“Specializing in selling various talismans.”
“Due to the low prices and high quality, we have a lot of repeat customers, enough to make a living.”
Father Ren said proudly.
After all, cultivators opening shops in the Dream Realm are as numerous as fish swimming up a river, countless.
To make a living amidst countless shops is not as simple as imagined.
The vast majority of cultivators who open Dream Realm shops experience minimal business.
“But Father, with so many cultivators opening shops, how can others find your shop?”
Ren Haofeng felt that standing out among countless shops was really too difficult.
“All the Dream Realm shops are on a virtual shopping page.”
“There are only a few ways to make your shop appear in others’ sight.”
“The first method is to increase sales volume by purchasing large quantities of products from your own shop, thus pushing your shop to the forefront, visible to other cultivators. However, this method is quite costly.”
“The second method is to become famous. If you can become well-known in the Dream Realm and garner many fans, then naturally many of these fans will pay attention to your shop and purchase products from it.”
“For this reason, now is an era where everywhere you look, there are cultivators trying to gain fame.”
“Once you gain a reputation and attract fans’ attention, wealth and resources will come pouring in.”
“This is not an era to be low-key; if you’re low-key, you lose the chance to gain a vast amount of wealth.”
“So only those high-profile cultivators are able to navigate the human clan of this era with ease.”
Father Ren remarked with deep emotion.
He had read history before, and before His Majesty the Human Emperor was born, the history of the human clan was extremely dark.
It was simply a dark jungle society.
Those who dared to stand out or excel ended up unlucky.
This is what they call “the shot hits the bird that pokes its head out.”
That dark era wiped out the individuality of countless cultivators.
