Chapter 131 Human Nature is Selfish
Mojiabao in Heyang County is a well-known iron shop that makes a living by forging and casting.
The quality of its ironware is highly praised.
However, few people know that Mojia Castle is actually a Taoist sect.
Only a very small number of gifted apprentices have the chance to enter the inner sect, become Mohist disciples, and learn the art of refining weapons.
These Mohist disciples have been very excited recently.
Because Mojia Castle accepted an order from the General Chamber of Commerce and wanted to refine a general flying sword.
Who doesn’t know about universal magical instruments nowadays?
Therefore, the disciples of the Mohist School were drooling over these flying swords and wished they could own one immediately, and then take them apart to take a closer look. What did the flying swords that were praised so mysteriously at the press conference look like?
Although I cannot possess it now, it would be great if I could refine it myself.
For a moment, I was full of energy.
Unexpectedly, this action, to some extent, proves the high efficiency of assembly line operation.
"Dad, the assembly line operation is indeed extraordinary. With our current yield rate, even if we manufacture the original version of the flying sword, we can still make a profit."
The young master of Mo Family Castle was very excited.
“Gu Zhenzai is a genius!”
The Lord of the Mo Family Fortress sighed, then his expression straightened and he asked:
"Have you found out the composition of 326 Black Iron?"
"We have found out that they are all commonly used metals. The only thing we cannot determine at the moment is the ratio of the various metals. This will take time."
"It took the General Chamber of Commerce 3,734 experiments to find the best ratio. If we want to find the exact ratio, the number of experiments won't be much lower. The cost is too high."
"What does dad mean?"
"It's enough to imitate it, but who can accurately measure the characteristics of 326 black iron?"
"I understand."
The young fortress master paused, and couldn't help asking again: "Dad, if we refine the flying sword privately, can we sell it?"
The Lord of the Mo Family Castle smiled and said, "After the publicity from the General Chamber of Commerce, this batch of magic weapons has become famous. It won't be difficult to sell some of them privately."
"But judging from the actions of the General Chamber of Commerce, the number of refinements will not be too small."
"The General Chamber of Commerce was established too recently. It is rare for it to open branches in major county towns. It is basically impossible for it to cover all county towns in the world. This... is our opportunity."
The young master of the fortress suddenly realized.
In fact, at this time, the universal magic weapon is more than just famous.
It has reached the point where everyone knows about it.
A new product launch conference, attracted by the fame of Emperor Qingxu, monks from all over the world came to watch.
Even if there was something going on at the time, most of the time they would make up for it by recording it afterwards.
So much so that after the press conference, there was still a lot of discussion on the Internet, and the heat lasted for several days before gradually subsiding.
At the same time, another topic has quietly become popular.
That means signing in by burning incense!
In the past, cultivators seldom burned incense and signed in. But since the appearance of universal magical instruments, many independent cultivators have gritted their teeth and decided to sign in in order to get their desired magical instruments.
According to the current time, if you sign in for a month, you can accumulate about 100 special points by the time the product is released.
Unexpectedly, as the monks shared their sign-ins, they found that their sign-in points were pitifully low.
Many monks even have zero points.
One or two points is a common thing.
Countless independent practitioners were so angry that they cursed the Internet for being fishy.
Gu Yunli’s reputation almost collapsed.
Unexpectedly, at this time, other networks launched special points redemption services.
That is, if you burn incense devoutly, you can exchange it for Taizhen Tianxiang in online banking.
Of course, they will charge a certain fee.
This gave many independent cultivators hope.
As a result, when they flocked to other networks to burn incense and worship, they found that the points they earned were not as good as those of the Internet.
Naturally, this sparked a heated discussion, and everyone came to the conclusion that it was all due to lack of piety.
The reason why major palaces and temples in the world can collect Taizhen Tianxiang is because most of their disciples practice various types of praying to gods, and incantations such as "Ji Ji Ru Lv Ling" have become standard for Xuanmen disciples.
In order to ensure the power of the prayer, everyone naturally dared not neglect the gods.
When it comes to the Internet, how can you get many points if you lack piety in your heart?
With no other options, everyone can only try to adjust their mindset.
Amidst all the hustle and bustle, a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhao Cunyuan from Yong County got up early and after having breakfast, he rushed to Yong County.
——Before the release date, the General Chamber of Commerce had already announced all major distribution points on the Internet. Yong County, as the birthplace of Gu Zhenzai, was fortunate to be allocated a distribution point at the county level.
Zhao Cunyuan's cultivation level is very low, but it is far superior to that of ordinary people.
As the sun gradually rose, he had already walked on the dew and arrived in Yong County.
Once in the city, you can walk to the General Chamber of Commerce store without asking any questions.
But when he arrived, he was stunned.
There was a long queue outside the store.
If you count carefully, there are hundreds of people.
“There are so many rich people?”
Zhao Cunyuan was completely stunned.
Coincidentally, he was not a monk when he came into contact with the Internet, so after he embarked on the path of Taoism, he was quite grateful to the Internet and burned incense to worship it many times.
It was not until later that people heard that burning incense and worshiping were detrimental to spirituality that they stopped this practice.
It was the worship during that period that accumulated a lot of special points for him.
In addition, by signing in to burn incense in the past month, he has accumulated hundreds of points, which is more than enough to exchange for a founding edition flying sword.
He thought himself lucky.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the scene, I realized that I was the poor one.
Fortunately, I can finally own a flying sword of my own.
Even though it was very simple, Zhao Cunyuan was still very excited.
Just after the hour of Mao, the door of the General Store opened wide, and the crowd became agitated and lined up to go in.
Not long after, a quarrel was heard from inside.
"Why can't I buy a few more?", "Who is the broker?", "I don't accept it!", "Black shop! Black shop! You are bullying customers just because you are big!"
Amidst the commotion, a cultivator walked out indignantly, holding a universal flying sword.
Before leaving, he was still standing in front of the shop and cursing.
Zhao Cunyuan listened for a long time before he realized that the General Chamber of Commerce actually restricted sales!
Everyone can only purchase one magic weapon of the same type with their Internet ID.
What is this rule?
Zhao Cunyuan looked confused. Was he afraid that there wouldn't be enough magic weapons to sell?
Absolutely ridiculous!
The crowd was talking about this.
Zhao Cunyuan shook his head, feeling that this matter had nothing to do with him.
He continued to wait patiently. As a result, when it was almost his turn, a clerk from the General Store came out and smiled and bowed, saying:
"My fellow Taoists, I am so sorry, but all the flying swords are sold out today. Only a few robes and paper-cut horses are left. If you are waiting to buy a flying sword, please come back tomorrow."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.
"What do you mean, it's sold out already?"
"I came all the way here just to get the Universal Flying Sword, and it's gone?"
The crowd still queuing exploded and started yelling in anger.
Zhao Cunyuan was even more stunned.
Finally I understand why the General Chamber of Commerce has limited sales?
Feelings are easy to sell!
