Chapter 244
"TV?"
"It's a live-streaming platform."
"Oh, oh."
Shi Chen suddenly understood.
"Little Chen-zi, you're no good at this. You've read too few novels. Remember, learning has no limits. Even though we are strong, we must still learn different kinds of knowledge; only then can we become stronger and understand more, you see?"
"Take me, for example. I only understood these things after reading countless novels, and only then did I know how to gain contribution points."
Yang Mei said with grave sincerity.
"......"
Shi Chen's forehead bore a black line, and a vein throbbed slightly there, but his expression soon returned to normal.
There was no other reason; having known this fool for over ten thousand eons, how could he not know this fellow's character? He was the type who would climb onto your face if you so much as raised an eyebrow, and Shi Chen had long grown accustomed to it.
Little Chen? Little Chen-zi? Very well; if he keeps floating like this, he'll probably start calling him 'little brother' soon.
"Continue speaking."
Shi Chen said, his face devoid of joy or sorrow.
"Moreover, our Honghuang is now far too dull and boring, with not a single form of entertainment. If there were a live-streaming platform, that would change; eating, drinking, and having fun could all be streamed."
"The streamer gains merit as profit, while the viewer can cultivate their taste or gain enlightenment; it is truly a win-win situation."
"In this way, we too can gain great benefits. After all, the platform is ours; isn't it reasonable for us to take a cut? Not only will we earn contribution points, but we will also receive a continuous flow of merit; it is absolutely perfect!"
Yang Mei said with a chuckle.
"Excellent."
Shi Chen's eyes brightened; he was already growing impatient.
"Little brother, learn from this. This is true skill. Cultivation is not about fighting and killing; it is about human relations and worldly wisdom. Follow me, and you will never come to harm."
Yang Mei waved his large hand and said proudly.
"......"
Shi Chen.
"Setting up Honghuang TV can wait for now; I have one matter that must be resolved first."
Shi Chen said slowly.
"Oh? What matter?"
Yang Mei, still unaware of the danger approaching, asked curiously.
Then he very quickly found out what it was.
"What are you doing!?"
"Bold Shi Chen! Dare you betray your master and destroy your ancestors!"
"No, no, no, stop! Stop quickly!"
"Don't hit my face! Ah! I was wrong! I shouldn't have acted so arrogant! I was truly wrong! Spare me, spare me! Ahhh!"
Inside the Purple Tenuity Palace.
"Fellow Daoist, this is our entire plan."
Yang Mei said slowly.
"Somewhat interesting."
A sharp glint flashed in Supreme Hongjun's eyes as he pondered deeply; a vague understanding and inspiration stirred within his heart, yet because the conditions were still too few, he could not see clearly, which caused Supreme Hongjun to frown.
What exactly is it...
"Fellow Daoist, look..."
Shi Chen ventured to speak.
"Very well. The Heavenly Dao and I can lend you a hand. This matter is of great benefit to the development of Honghuang, so there is no reason to refuse."
Supreme Hongjun came to his senses, nodded, and said; seeing joy appear on both their faces, he shifted his tone and said, "However..."
"However!?"
Both looked at Supreme Hongjun with shock and doubt.
"I must have my share."
Supreme Hongjun said calmly.
Before the two could speak, Supreme Hongjun spoke first: "Without my assistance, your Honghuang TV could not be established. For instance, using merit as currency; the Heavenly Dao would not concern itself with such matters. If I did not convert it, could you perform exchanges anywhere?"
"Furthermore, regarding server construction: I am the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao and possess partial authority over it. Only I can fuse the server you built, or the magic treasure connecting the entire Honghuang, with certain rules of the Heavenly Dao."
"Otherwise, this matter involves the operation of rules, which the Heavenly Dao would never permit. Among all these affairs, it is only reasonable for me to take a share; otherwise, do you think I would work for free and let you freeload?"
Having spoken, Supreme Hongjun looked at the two, signaling them to think carefully.
The two exchanged glances and agreed that this was indeed the case.
Moreover, Supreme Hongjun was the de facto ruler of Honghuang; if they did not include him, it would be unrealistic. Could they still survive in Honghuang?
They must at least give him some face, especially since what Supreme Hongjun said was not wrong to begin with.
"How many shares do you want?"
Yang Mei said gravely.
When discussing serious matters, he would naturally no longer be frivolous or speak arrogantly; Yang Mei could clearly distinguish between serious business and daily life.
"Not many. I only want two shares."
Supreme Hongjun said with a chuckle.
With his insight, he could clearly see how vast the profits within would be; of course, Supreme Hongjun must take a share, but asking for more would be unnecessary, as it would make his appearance too greedy. Supreme Hongjun still needed to keep some face.
"Deal."
Novel Group: 703216220
After a moment of thought, Yang Mei agreed.
"Very well, then the two of you go ahead. When the critical moment arrives, Wuzi Society will intervene to assist."
Supreme Hongjun smiled.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yang Mei and Shichen departed from the Purple Cloud Palace.
"Honghuang TV... Honghuang TV... Honghuang TV... what exactly is it? What does that spark of inspiration refer to..."
After the two left, Supreme Hongjun's eyes grew vacant, his brows knitted tightly as he muttered repeatedly, while his fingers moved to begin divination, yet he remained utterly confused due to the lack of information.
Helpless, Supreme Hongjun could only temporarily cast the matter aside.
Exhaling a breath, Supreme Hongjun looked into the void and spoke: "Heavenly Dao, you heard as well. Later, please trouble yourself to lend assistance; this matter is, after all, beneficial to Honghuang."
"Agreed, but, I demand one tenth."
A cold voice devoid of any emotion descended from the void; a golden wheel of the Heavenly Dao, radiating majestic heavenly might and endless Jin Guang, flashed briefly before vanishing, as if an immense, supreme pressure was layering upon layer, descending.
"???"
Supreme Hongjun's smile froze.
Time passed bit by bit; no one knew how long had elapsed when suddenly, surging forces of Time and Space spread out from the Honghuang Continent, instantly sweeping across the boundless Honghuang.
Boom-boom-boom!!!
Boom-boom-boom!!!
Boom-boom-boom!!!
Heaven and Earth trembled; as if infinite mighty power erupted, as if a surging will gathered, the majestic and supreme will of the Heavenly Dao gradually coalesced within the void.
In an instant, all the great powers on every side sensed it, turning their gazes toward the source, their eyes showing a hint of doubt and uncertainty.
"What are Yang Mei and Shichen doing? It seems the Heavenly Dao is involved too!?"
A look of confusion flashed in the eyes of all the great powers.
"Now, I and Shichen, using the Great Dao of Time and Space, have forged a supreme treasure to connect the Honghuang with the rules, establishing the Honghuang TV live-streaming platform; all living beings may watch!"
"Within the platform, merit serves as currency for transactions; logging into the platform allows one to see how much merit one possesses; simply calling upon the Heavenly Dao will convert one's merit."
"Anything may be live-streamed upon the platform, including teachings of the Dao, eating, drinking, and having fun, among many other items; welcome, fellow Daoists, to take up residence; for more information, you may log into the live-streaming platform to view."
"Honghuang TV... Established!"
A series of majestic and grand voices resounded throughout Honghuang; amidst the rolling thunder at the horizon, Yang Mei's projection was faintly visible, and those rumbling sounds, vibrating through his projection, clearly entered the ears of all living beings in Honghuang.
The next second, the will of the Heavenly Dao boiled; faintly visible, a ray of Jin Guang shot straight into the void, merging into the depths of the boundless void.
Immediately after, marks appeared on the backs of all living beings' hands before fading; in some mysterious way, understanding surged into their hearts; calling out once would summon a projection, and thus Honghuang TV slowly unfolded.
