God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 412: This Is a Huge Opportunity

In the Goddess of Magic’s divine realm.

Ren watched all of this, his expression growing increasingly pleased.

Since starting the magic-tech industrial revolution, He’d realized that if this world truly began an industrial revolution, it would definitely be faster and more intense than in His previous life.

The reason was simple—tens of thousands of years of accumulation had turned this world into something like a powder keg. The slightest spark would stimulate countless people to rush toward it.

No matter what kind of reform, once change appeared, the core was actually pulling one group of people to fight another group, eliminating some people’s interests while letting more people gain more benefits.

That way, development could be rapid.

Without a doubt, this had been achieved.

Countless people had benefited from this revolution.

So they became staunch defenders, and under Ren’s inspiration, they’d also unleashed even more powerful forces—even more intense forces than Ren had imagined.

When He discovered they already had plans to build an aerial fortress, Ren became even more certain of this.

Of course, the reason this situation occurred also had another cause—energy. It was just too easy and convenient for people in this world to obtain energy.

When energy was abundant, many things that were originally difficult became much simpler.

"But just this isn’t enough."

Ren watched all this with great interest, muttering to himself.

"What are you thinking now?" The Goddess of Magic was somewhat curious.

"The speed at which mortals’ goods circulate is still a bit slow. The Golden Merchant Guild ultimately has some limitations." Ren said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"What if I opened a function on the Magic Net similar to the Golden Merchant Guild? All merchants, whether sellers or factories, could open shops directly on the Magic Net. Everyone could also purchase from these shops on the Magic Net, spending their deposits in Dragon Bank. After purchasing, Dragon Delivery would handle the shipping."

Ren said with a smile, "In the early stages, delivery would be slow and costs somewhat high, so maybe only relatively expensive items could be sold. But over time, it would gradually become cheaper."

"But what’s the difference between this and those people selling things on Magic Net videos? Those video hosts can also promote each product. This seems to skip even the promotion step." Listening to Ren’s lengthy explanation, the Goddess of Magic couldn’t help but pause.

"Of course there’s a difference. These two functions should support each other." Ren thought for a moment. "Many things aren’t suitable for live streaming sales. Hanging them in storefronts makes them hard for people to browse. Most importantly, it’s very difficult to comparison shop this way."

"But on a dedicated shopping platform function, the situation would be very different. Take ready-made clothing, for example. Right now in this world, almost all ready-made clothing is produced by Roster Territory’s garment factory and then sold by the Church of Love and Beauty."

"But is Roster Territory’s garment factory really the only one in this world that can design and manufacture such clothes? Not necessarily, right?"

"But under the current model, people can only see them. Everyone else has absolutely no opportunity."

"But after this function is developed, when people search for clothes in the marketplace, countless garments will instantly appear—different manufacturers, different designers. Could be big factories, could be small workshops, could even be home manufacturing... When this effect is achieved, the circulation speed of goods will dramatically increase."

"At the same time, the number of established factories and workshops will also explode."

"Even... probably most territories will have such a shop."

"If that’s the case, won’t the Church of Technology lose out? It seems most of Roster territory’s income gets invested into your church." The Goddess of Magic nodded slightly, indicating She roughly understood Ren’s plan. But while She understood, She didn’t quite understand Ren’s behavior.

"Only when everyone joins in, when things circulate, when this world constantly changes—that’s the greatest benefit to me, to us."

Ren shook His head. "If Roster did everything himself, it wouldn’t take long before that guy entered my divine realm, and the magic-tech industrial era wouldn’t be able to fully spread."

"Only when everyone joins in can everything proceed smoothly."

"But the mortal realm seems a bit abnormal right now."

The Goddess of Magic waved Her hand, projecting an image before Them. "The appearance of Golden Spike Grain first caused grain prices to crash wildly. Then land prices also started crashing wildly. Next, for some reason, all kinds of prices started soaring like crazy. This doesn’t seem to match your original intention."

"No, this is exactly what I wanted to see."

Ren naturally knew about these changes. "In the past, those people in the mortal realm—all the powerful, the wealthy—after obtaining currency, they’d choose to do two things. One was buy land. The other was hide it in their castles."

"Gradually, this caused the price of gold and silver currencies to keep rising, their purchasing power to keep strengthening. But the currency in ordinary people’s hands kept decreasing."

"This is very unfavorable for development. According to the information I’ve gathered, most commodity sales in the past actually relied on nobles’ banquets, magicians’ demand for materials, and castle construction."

"But this time, the crazy increase in grain production, the crash in grain prices, the crash in land prices—it’ll make many nobles panic. Their money has lost its best investment destination. So either they throw it into the stock exchange, or they establish workshops themselves."

"And when there are lots of people establishing workshops, the currency that was originally hoarded in castles will start circulating in the market. Currency thrown into the stock market? Most listed companies will also extract a portion to start operating, creating a similar effect."

"The production of so many industries is definitely something traditional slaves can’t accomplish. They’ll need new-era workers. If this were the old days, this would be enough to trigger a war and completely transform this world."

"But because of the earlier crisis with the Church of War, plus the rise of the Church of Technology, this transformation will be much gentler."

"Let’s not talk about that for now. As currency circulates, these workshops and companies will also be established one after another. Then the number of workers these industries need will rapidly increase. Once someone becomes a worker, their income will rise."

"At the same time, large numbers of workshops will produce countless goods. Before long, the prices of these goods will also start to stabilize, because there’ll be more goods."

Listening to Ren’s words, the Goddess of Magic’s eyes lit up. "So what you’re saying is, this new function you plan to develop can also quickly stabilize prices?"
