Chapter 90: Worship the Cyber Gods and Burn Electronic Incense
Yong County City God Palace, Patrol Office.
The sound of hurried footsteps startled the ghosts on the road and made them look sideways.
Following the sound, I saw Li Sigong coming in a hurry.
"Mr. Li——"
"Is the patrol officer here?"
"Why should justice be gathered in the study..."
Before the ghost messenger could finish his words, Li Sigong had already floated away, and weakly knocked open the inspector's study.
"Okay, that's it, let's go back!"
When the inspector saw Li Sigong, he tactfully drove his subordinates away.
Li Sigong was not polite either. He sat down on the main seat, picked up the teapot, bit the spout of the teapot, and started drinking.
"What happened when Lord Li came here?" asked the inspector.
"Huh - let me ask you, did you make an appointment to buy the stock?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Snapped!"
Li Sigong slapped his thigh and said, "Do you know what the stock price is now?"
"I took a look at it at midnight, and it was probably nine sticks of incense."
"It's less, it's less, now it's eleven pillars per share."
Li Sigong's old face flushed with excitement, and then his face was full of annoyance:
"I grabbed 1,300 shares at the beginning of the market, but unfortunately I sold them out at five incense sticks yesterday. I regret it so much. Can I still buy them now?"
"Mr. Li, this question really stumped me. This thing has only been out for a few days and I have no experience with it!"
"Oh, why did I sell it yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Li became even more annoyed.
If I want to join the game now, I’m afraid that it has already reached its peak. I feel so conflicted.
At this moment, there are many people with a mentality similar to that of Li Sigong.
No one would have thought that the Internet stock that was once considered expensive at a stick of incense per share would now have a changing price every day!
Countless people have actually made a fortune from Internet stocks.
Everyone then realized that this stock did not make money from dividends, but from passing the parcel.
"This is unbelievable and incomprehensible. At the current share price, even if the dividends are distributed for a hundred years, it may not be able to recover the cost. Are you all crazy?"
"You can't say that. Stocks have a price. If the dividends don't cover your investment, won't you get your money back if you sell the stocks?"
"According to the current expansion speed of the Internet, dividends will only increase, so won't the stock price rise accordingly?"
"I regret it so much. I managed to reserve 500 shares with great difficulty, but I sold them all yesterday. I want to buy them back today, but I can't buy them at all."
As the stock price continues to rise, the community forums are already boiling with excitement.
Everyone seemed to have discovered a new door to wealth.
As long as you buy Internet stocks, you will almost certainly make money.
Faced with such temptation of wealth, countless people are ready to make a move, and a feast of wealth that seems to be open to everyone has quietly begun.
……
At the same time, another grand event was held at the Internet Palace.
As the saying goes: A big mouth above and running legs off below.
Gu Yunli casually set the date for the Internet Summit ten days later, but it almost made his subordinates work themselves to death.
Inviting all the gods and immortals to such a grand feast would greatly enhance the reputation of the True Lord. With sufficient budget, everyone in the Internet Palace would naturally not dare to neglect it.
Almost all the treasures in the underworld were searched for just a divine feast.
Ten days is an extremely short period of time.
However, thanks to the financial power of the Internet, the main hall of the conference is still filled with delicious food and fine wine!
In the gloomy sky, auspicious clouds like a dragon chariot would descend from time to time.
The sound of calling out names made the Internet Palace ghosts dumbfounded. How could this be the residence of an eighth-rank immortal official?
For those who don’t know the situation, it’s no exaggeration to say that it was a banquet hosted by the top three rank officials.
In the Internet palace city, there are already some curious people who took pictures of the arrival of the immortals and posted them on the community forum.
It caused a burst of exclamations.
"Now I finally understand why Gu Zhenzai was given the title of Zhenzai. He really deserves it!"
"With one prayer technique, all the gods and ghosts in the world are shocked. Gu Zhenzai deserves it!"
"I can't imagine life without the Internet."
"I look after the True Lord, worthy of being the fourth official after heaven, earth and water!"
Amidst the boasting, some people even made crazy remarks, saying that after the three officials in the Immortal Court, there would probably be a fourth official!
Unfortunately, as soon as these words came out, they were deleted by the diligent review department.
Amid the boiling public opinion, the Internet finally gradually quieted down.
The main hall of the Internet Palace was bustling with noise.
Except for the top three rank immortal officials, who kept their status to themselves and did not receive any visitors;
In the main hall, one can find immortal officials of almost every palace, department and rank in the immortal court.
There are quite a few fourth-rank immortal officials.
People of the eighth and ninth ranks lined up at the door of the main hall.
The immortal officials were lined up on the left and right, but they were a mixture of civil and military officials. It looked more like a private banquet, without much of the atmosphere of an immortal court.
At the top of the hall, Gu Yunli also ordered people to remove the tables and chairs, leaving only a cushion and a desk to show equality.
"How could I know that I could be present at such a grand banquet and receive the kindness of all the immortal officials? I am so lucky. I hope all the guests will enjoy themselves here, appreciate the beautiful scenery, and share the joy of family! Come, let's drink this cup together!"
Gu Yunli raised his glass to start the conversation, but with his Lian Yang cultivation, he already had an extraordinary bearing.
Seeing this gesture, the immortals were deeply moved. They all stood up and raised their glasses to drink together!
For a moment, the scene was very lively.
Dongjia congratulated Gu Zhenzai and the news spread all over the world;
The Western family praised Gu Zhenzai for his contribution in calming down the monetary chaos in the world;
The Nan family lamented that Gu Zhenzai was young and accomplished;
The Bei family laughed and said that they didn't know whose daughter would be rich in the future if such a talented person was chosen.
After the commotion, Gu Yunli stood up and looked around. All the immortals and gods tacitly shut their mouths and looked over.
"Gu has some selfish motives for holding a summit today. I will take this opportunity to explain them one by one."
"Gu was blessed by heaven to awaken his innate magical power and create the Internet. It may seem like Gu's achievement alone, but it was actually the work of all my colleagues. Therefore, Gu decided to set up two major sections to share with you."
"The first one is the online temple. All gods in the immortal court can enjoy it. All the people burn incense and worship in this interface. After deducting the operating costs, I will not take a penny from the incense, and all the money will be returned to the immortal officials."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall.
Since they are immortal officials, how intelligent are they?
We are keenly aware that once this online temple opens, areas that were previously not covered will also become sources of incense.
Speaking of which, why does the land god of the fairyland have so many duties?
The root cause is not that the local officials are powerful.
Essentially, it is because the common people are limited by their pace. Whether they want to have children or to make money, they cannot go to the temple for everything.
But even if you can run, there may not be that temple.
In the end, one can only worship the land god nearby.
This is why the land god has a low status but great power, holding countless powers.
Nowadays, if we open an online temple, we can find the corresponding god for even the most remote requests. It is self-evident what this will mean for the worship of the gods.
"Gu Zhenzai, may I ask if this network temple is based on the various sects and departments? Or is it built separately for each immortal god?"
Yixiu Xingjun asked loudly.
If this is taken as the standard by each sect and department, then the lower-level immortal officials will suffer a great loss.
After all, all the incense will go into the hands of the superiors. Expecting the superiors to distribute the incense fairly is worse than expecting a sow to climb a tree.
Therefore, when Yixiu Star Lord said this, the seventh and eighth rank immortal officials sitting at the end of the hall immediately looked at Gu Zhenzai with nervous expressions.
