Chapter 96 Core Competence

Tianjiang Water Emperor Palace.

Lady Ruan Xin, wife of the Water Emperor, hurriedly pushed open the door of her husband's study and looked at her husband, who was frowning and silent with a blank look in his eyes. She was anxious but did not dare to disturb him.

After a while, Tianjiang Water Emperor took a deep breath.

"Do you know everything?"

"Well, I was wondering why you looked so worried when you came back from the Immortal Palace that day. It turns out that something so serious happened!"

"Madam, please don't blame me. The Emperor wanted to see Gu Zhenzai's Internet Summit, so he ordered us to keep it secret!"

Tianjiang Shuidi exhaled deeply, leaned back in his chair, and looked solemn.

"I don't blame..."

Ruan Xin walked behind her husband and gently rubbed his forehead:

“What about the weather forecast if it’s just the Internet?”

"What else can we do? Of course, we should cut it off completely."

Tianjiang Water Emperor sighed, feeling a little regretful.

The conditions offered by Emperor Dongyin are actually similar to those of the Internet.

He had basically no losses.

The reason why it feels a pity is that they, the Jiujiang Water Emperor, can actually take into account the Internet weather forecast.

There are many benefits to doing this.

First, to earn incense;

Secondly, it also consumes the popularity of the Internet and increases its operating costs.

Unfortunately, Emperor Dongyin did not agree.

Compared to this benefit;
Emperor Dongyin cares more about his control over the water god lineage.

"Have you told Gu Zhenzai?"

"I can't open my mouth!"

“Gu Zhenzai didn’t ask?”

"Some things, why bother to say more?"

At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere in the study became much more depressing.

"By the way, call Mi Mi back!"

"Hmm? No more training her?"

"What's the point of continuing to train now? We can't really let her join Gu Zhenzai again, right? Otherwise, how will Emperor Dongyin look at me?"

"Then I'll go and persuade her!"

"Also, don't tell her about the conspiracy between Gu Zhenzai and I, so that she won't have any wild thoughts."

"I'll save that, of course."

……

……

The world is changing rapidly.

Huang Qiuyuan, who had just entered the Internet Palace and experienced what it felt like to be the best, never imagined that the world could be so fickle.

Yesterday, thousands of immortals came to pay homage to the Internet Palace;
Overnight, the place was deserted.

The huge Internet palace suddenly felt cold and deserted.

After getting down the mountain, the people in the city at the foot of the mountain still called them "official", but the way they looked at them was already a little strange.

The whispering coming from the corner made people feel even more uncomfortable.

Some people even openly chanted the Water Mirror spell and landed on the Water Mirror, which seemed like a provocation.

In fact, not only did the ghosts in the underworld react greatly, but the content of the work they had to review also plummeted by an order of magnitude.

In the past, he was too busy every day and kept saying that there were not enough people. Even he, the team leader, had to fight on the front line.

Ever since Shui Jing came out, some people in the group have become idle, and whispers can be heard everywhere.

The army's morale was in turmoil.

In fact, it’s no wonder that people’s hearts are unstable. The water mirror completely replicates the Internet.

Not to mention that the two are almost identical;
Shuijing also has a Sutra Library that is not available on the Internet. It contains so many methods of cultivation that not only ordinary people but also temples with a long history would be jealous.

The most important thing is that the Lord of the Internet is just an eighth-rank immortal official.

Even though he had the support of Emperor Qingxu;

Can he compare with Emperor Dongyin, who is himself a second-rank immortal official?

In addition, Emperor Dongyin could replicate the Internet, so what about other immortals? For a moment, not to mention the members of the audit department, even Huang Qiuyuan felt a little pessimistic.

I just hope Gu Zhenzai can cheer up. I don't ask for the Internet to become bigger and stronger, but it would be good enough if he can maintain a few users and maintain a little wealth.

These disciples of theirs will also have a place to stay.

Even Huang Qiuyuan could see the decline of the Internet at this time, and Nie Tai, who was a close celebrity of Gu Zhenzai, also saw the situation clearly.

He carefully climbed up to the Zhaixing Tower and looked at Gu Zhenzai who was sitting cross-legged on the terrace. He tried to move as lightly as possible and said:
"Disciple Nie Tai, I pay my respects to Gu Zhenzai."

"What's the matter?"

"May I ask, Shinzai, is the Audit Department still recruiting people?"

"Have you recruited 500 people?"

"Not yet. There are currently 336 people."

"Continue recruiting, and report back when you have 500 people."

"Here!"

Nie Tai agreed and turned to leave. Seeing that Gu Zhenzai was not angry, he turned around and said:

"Shuijing is coming with great force, and the content of the review department has been drastically reduced. Wouldn't it be a waste of incense to continue recruiting people?"

"So, you are not optimistic about the future of the Internet?"

Gu Yunli stood up and looked at Nie Tai with a half-smile on his face.

"Gu Zhenzai is a rare talent who created the Internet. Even though his work has been plagiarized by others, I still firmly believe that Gu Zhenzai is the only true master of the Internet!"

"is it?"

Gu Yunli smiled: "If you really believe in me, you wouldn't advise to cut staff. Words can deceive people, but actions cannot."

Nie Tai's face turned pale when he heard this.

"Okay, I'm not a tyrant, what am I afraid of? No matter how bad the Internet is, I can still support a few hundred people. Get off!"

"Disciple retire!"

Nie Tai saluted and turned to go downstairs.

Just as he walked down a few steps, he heard Gu Zhenzai's loud laughter from the Zhaixing Tower.

"Hahaha--"

The laughter was sad and seemed a bit hysterical.

Nie Tai pursed his lips, feeling a bit like a hero at the end of his road.

Gu Zhenzai was such a talented person, but it was a pity that he was about to fall at the hands of Emperor Dongyin.

Is it true that there is no way for ordinary people to succeed in this fairyland?

……

At this time, on the terrace of Zhaixing Tower, Gu Yunli was already laughing so hard that he was bent over.

It took him a while to stop laughing.

Where is the sadness in his eyes?
"I didn't expect that Emperor Qingxu's worries would be broken by Emperor Dongyin in the blink of an eye. Heaven and earth are blessing us!"

Gu Yunli walked to the terrace with great joy, looking at the strange and turbulent yin energy outside the Internet Palace, he was overjoyed.

As Emperor Qingxu said, the biggest problem facing the Internet right now is that a big tree attracts the wind.

This is also the fundamental reason why he keeps dividing the cake.

Now a new online water mirror has suddenly emerged.

I'm afraid that all the eyes of the world will be attracted by the water mirror, which will give him a chance to develop.

As for whether it will backfire and end up losing the market?

Before looking at the water mirror, Gu Yunli was a little worried;

But after seeing that Shuijing was an almost one-to-one replica of his internet work, all his worries were thrown out of his mind.

Emperor Dongyin is very powerful. He uses the way of water to simulate the Internet in his eyes. It is truly incredible.

But the act of replicating it also proved that he had run out of ideas.

The only thing that can be considered innovative about the Sutra Library is that it is just an upgraded version of the “cultivation section” of the Internet.

Gu Yunli could not be said to be very smart, but he had the wisdom of a civilization behind him after all.

This is his core competitiveness!
"However, we cannot be too careless right now. We must do something to boost morale. Otherwise, even our own people will run away, which will be a big problem."

"The biggest trouble right now is the betrayal of Jiujiang Water Emperor. The weather forecast must be rebuilt."

"This is a delicate job that takes time, so what can be done faster? Buy some time?"

As he pondered, Gu Yunli had a vague idea of ​​his direction.
