God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 509: This One’s Pretty Expensive

"Lord Roster, do you know what these Developer Hall and Feature Store features are?"

After a brief silence, a noble chose the most straightforward approach—just ask.

With a big shot from the Church of Technology right in front of them, when seeing these puzzling and shocking features, why rack your brain thinking when you could just ask directly?

"God once told me that technology is something full of imagination. He can only teach us mortals some experience—what we can develop depends entirely on our mortal thinking."

Viscount Roster looked around with a smile. "The answer is obvious. The Magic Net will be open to all of us, just like Magic Conductors."

"Letting us perfect everything ourselves."

"The Developer Hall is exactly such a place. Everyone can follow the instructions to create features they want. If you run into any problems, you can also communicate and discuss with like-minded people inside."

"Worth mentioning is that it also provides 'Ad Network' and 'Paid Services' functions. For example, if you create a feature and you're willing, you can enable paid services. Then others who want to use this feature will need to pay the developer."

"The advertising function is similar. You can set up ad spaces in the features you develop and fill them with ads through the Developer Hall's ad network."

"These ads can naturally come from any of us as well. We pay to buy ad placement through the ad network, and the ads will naturally be placed in these ad spaces."

"After deducting a certain service fee, the rest of the money goes entirely to the developer..."

Clearly, Viscount Roster had known about this long ago. He'd even used a beta version and done closed testing.

After his detailed explanation, he shifted gears: "I think you all should understand now. Using this Developer Hall, anyone can create features they've imagined and earn some profit from these features."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that the feature you develop is liked by enough people."

"The Feature Store is where everyone's developed features are displayed."

"These two features work together, similar to the Writing and Books features."

"I believe it won't be long before Magic Net features become incredibly rich. However, now isn't the time to think about this. Everyone should first check out the ticketing feature!"

"This is the inauguration ceremony for the ultra-high-speed rail system!"

Only then did the people present snap out of it. Now wasn't the time to discuss this.

The ultra-high-speed rail system inauguration was still very important. It was just that the news that suddenly appeared had left them all a bit dazed!

But anyway, that news was truly shocking enough.

They couldn't even imagine what the Magic Net would become after a while.

"Through our ticketing feature, we can very easily purchase tickets to wherever we need to go, and check how many tickets remain for a certain day from one station to another."

After a slight pause, Viscount Roster began explaining the feature: "You can directly view the schedule, and even see how far away the train you need to take is and how much time until it arrives."

"We believe that through these features, everyone will get a better experience."

"Additionally, you can check past orders, view orders for trips not yet taken, and all sorts of other information."

"Everyone's travel will become very easy."

"After purchasing on the Magic Net, before boarding the train, you don't even need to come to the station to buy a physical ticket. Just bring your Magic Net and you can board..."

Listening to Viscount Roster's explanation, they gradually came back to their senses and all refocused their attention on the ultra-high-speed rail system.

The Developer Hall could indeed create new wealth legends and countless business opportunities, whether developing features or using the advertising feature, but those were things to study slowly later.

Right now, the most important thing was still the ultra-high-speed rail system.

The ultra-high-speed rail system was something they already knew about and had thought of ways to profit from.

Of course, they should focus on these things that were already certain.

"Have to say, this is really convenient."

"Especially passenger transport—it's so convenient. Freight still requires searching around and all kinds of registration, which is a bit troublesome."

"After all, most people use the passenger function. Actually, this is pretty good."

"Entering all the information in advance, checking if this train can meet your needs, or making reservations ahead of time—that's actually great, especially for those who want to do fresh goods business."

"Yeah, people selling meat can even slaughter their livestock based on their scheduled shipping time. Couldn't be more convenient."

"..."

Amid countless discussions, Viscount Roster finally finished explaining everything he needed to.

"I imagine everyone's eager now. We're about to board, and as you've already seen, in everyone's orders, there's an upcoming trip order showing which seat you have."

"Next, you can go to the train according to the seat marked on your order and walk through the complete process."

"I believe this will be a good experience for everyone."

As Viscount Roster's voice fell, these big shots at the scene immediately got excited. They all started following what was written in the ticketing feature.

In this world, everyone could potentially unleash very powerful strength, so naturally there was no need for security checks or anything. Even carrying nothing, if someone really wanted to cause destruction, one person could potentially destroy an entire train.

These people just needed to follow the instructions—find the platform, find the car marked on their ticket, enter the car, find their seat, put any carry-on luggage on the rack, then sit in their seat and experience the upcoming journey.

The biggest shots among them naturally rode in business class, separated from the others.

Viscount Roster walked into car number 1 and said with a smile, "This is the business car. It's much more spacious than regular cars and provides some services."

"Even the seats are specially customized, carved with lots of runes to make sitting more comfortable. They can recline fully, and even have massage functions..."

"Of course, the fare is pretty expensive—normally three to five times more than regular class. If you're interested in regular seats, you can go check out the cars in back later."
