Chapter 637: Games and Charity
"Hurry up, fix it for me!"
"Master, it's alright now, do you want me to cut it a few times first?"
"Get out, you all said to cut a few knives first, but you took all the experience, this time I will come in person!"
Outside an unnamed town, a few young men in rough clothes, holding a simple wooden fork, were yelling and throwing a hideous black figure on the ground. A young man in brocade clothes gritted his teeth but stepped forward with a knife tremblingly. After hesitating for a while, he finally closed his eyes and swung the knife.
One slash, two slashes, three slashes... Slashed randomly, and even cut off one of his own forks. The young man in brocade slashed wildly, the black shadow finally turned into a puff of smoke, and disappeared without a trace in front of everyone, only a few golden copper coins fell on the ground.
"Phew, it's finally done!" The young man in brocade clothes stopped, heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward to pick up the few copper coins, weighed them in his hand, couldn't help but spit, and cursed disdainfully: "Bah, what a poor man, to lose such a few coppers."
"What the young master said is that there are poor ghosts around this town, but as long as we reach the tenth level, we can challenge the bandits in Taohuazhai. It is said that there are a lot of gold, silver and jewels in the thief's den." The rough-clothed youth stepped forward and said flatteringly.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and upgrade!" Hearing this, the young man in brocade clothes was immediately refreshed, and with a wave of the steel knife in his hand, he pointed at other shadows wandering not far away.
That's right, this is the drama that often plays out in the game world of the False God Realm these days.
As Li Haoran promoted the game helmet to the secular world, the first to enter the game were those rich and powerful children. Although not all the children of the rich and powerful are useless, it has to be admitted that most of them are quite useless, especially in this kind of hands-on aspect. Although this is a world of cultivating Taoism and civilization, it is not so extreme that cultivating Taoism and martial arts is regarded as the highest. "Everything is inferior, only reading is high" still occupies the mainstream in the secular world.
So, after finding out that it was not easy for them to upgrade alone, these rich and powerful children came up with this method of upgrading with a large number of people, just as Ye Zan expected. And if you want to use this method, then naturally you must have someone who can command you, otherwise why should others give you the bulk of their experience. Everyone is the son of the rich and powerful, and their status and status are there. It is impossible for anyone to be someone's servant, so they can only buy a few more ordinary game helmets to bring in all the followers in reality.
The three grades of game helmets designed by Ye Zan, although there is no difference in function, they also give a little privilege in the game.
For example, the accounts of those high-end game helmets are equivalent to high-level VIPs in the game. When entering the game, they can get two sets of gorgeous brocade clothes for free. These brocade clothes are in a crazy and cool shape, and have no strength bonus, but they are undoubtedly very attractive to those dignitary children who have a good face.
Since the mid-range game helmet account is a junior VIP, there will also be some good-looking fashions to choose from, but they will obviously look worse than the high-end VIP fashions. As for the most common low-end game helmets, there are no privileges. After entering the game, there are only coarse clothes.
In addition, senior VIPs also have a privilege, that is, they can directly establish a junior guild, and there will be experience bonuses for fighting monsters with guild members. The purpose of setting this privilege is to allow more people to join the game by creating the demand of these powerful children for their subordinates. Anyway, Ye Zan was not picky about the identities of the players who entered the game. For every additional online person, there would be more mental energy.
Obviously, Ye Zan's method is still feasible. Although there are some among these rich and powerful children who want to be lone rangers, most of them still like to form gangs. Pulling together a group of subordinates, letting them go down to control the monster, and then go forward to kill monsters to gain experience, this can be said to be a routine that they are already familiar with.
In just two months, this online game has become a very popular entertainment among the children of the rich and powerful in the Tang Dynasty. So much so that many people are surprised to find that there are far fewer bullying men and women in the market these days. Moreover, through the channel of Datang Communication, this kind of entertainment is still rapidly spreading to the entire Datang country, and many newcomers will appear in the game every day.
In addition, with the expansion of the game's influence, the sales of game helmets are naturally quite hot. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day. This is just the Great Tang Kingdom. With the spread of the influence of the game, there are also many people interested in the game in the surrounding countries of the Great Tang Kingdom.
It's just that this thing is just entertainment after all, not something related to the national economy and people's livelihood like rail transit, and it's not easy for countries to say anything through official channels. At present, only some people can experience the charm of this online game by obtaining limited game helmets from Datang Kingdom through businessmen or friends.
It's not that Ye Zan is unwilling to sell things to other countries. In fact, if possible, he would like to have everyone in the entire Shenhua Domain enter the game world. It's just that he still thought that while doing this, it's best to be able to promote the charity event together, and this needs to be done step by step.
You must know that in the Great Tang Kingdom, Yuqingzong is an existence that no one dares to mess with. The Yuqing Charity Association has such a background, coupled with strict internal rules and regulations, it can be implemented and operated as planned. But if it was placed in another country, Yu Qingzong would definitely not have such a great deterrent force, after all, Yu Qingzong could not control others. In this way, in the face of the huge income of the game helmet, it is difficult to guarantee that people from all walks of life will not have wrong ideas, and it may even be confiscated by the king of the country with a single order, and all the income will be collected from the national treasury. How can we organize a charity meeting.
Now, Ye Zan can only wait for the Yuqing Charity Association to grow step by step in the Tang Dynasty, and then start to develop towards other countries when it has enough energy. Fortunately, this Yuqing Charity Association is based on Yuqingzong, a monastic school, and it may develop in other countries in the future. Otherwise, it will be a state-owned charity organization of Datang, and no other country will allow it to set foot own borders.
In the Tang Dynasty, the establishment of the Yuqing Charity Association did not attract too much attention, and no one even associated the charity association with the aloof Yuqingzong at the beginning.
Regardless of this world, it is a world of cultivating civilization, but between cultivators and so-called mortals, cultivators generally regard mortals as ants, while mortals regard cultivators as legends, completely like living in two worlds. Although these two groups are not completely separated, there are mortals who will join the monastic sect, and there are also hopeless ascetics who will enjoy wealth in the world, but it is not enough to have much influence.
In fact, in the long history of Shenhua Domain, there are really few sects of Taoism who have done charity in the secular world. Some monasteries with Buddhist sects in the secular world will do some miscellaneous porridge in disaster years, which can barely be regarded as charity. But everyone knows that because these monasteries do not generally pay taxes, many of them are actually local super-big landlords, and some of them have even become places where filth and evil people are sheltered.
However, with several big actions of Yuqing Charity Association, such as rebuilding and building a large number of Tzu Chi Nursery Schools, opening free elementary school, teaching livelihood skills for free, etc., people quickly saw Yuqing Charity Association The "rich and powerful". After seeing the "wealthy and powerful", it is natural that someone will make a wrong idea, and when the wrong idea hits the iron plate, you will know who the background of the Yuqing Charity Association is.
On Ye Zan's side, he didn't intend to hide it, otherwise he wouldn't have called the Yuqing Charity Association directly. Therefore, when the Yuqing Charity Association did more and more things and had a greater influence on the people of the Tang Dynasty, Yuqingzong naturally gained a wave of prestige.
It's just that doing charity doesn't get a lot of merit, and it's far inferior to things like rail transit and high-yield crops. This is actually easy to understand. After all, what the charity does now only affects individual individuals, at most it affects a generation. As for rail transit and high-yield crops, they affect the entire secular world, and they have long-term effects.
In any case, under Li Haoran's control, the two things went very smoothly. Ye Zan didn't need to spend much time at all except for constantly providing game helmets. After a few months, with the help of the False God Realm, Ye Zan finally felt that the loss in his mind had been made up for. As long as he didn't go desperately to refine the secret realm, he didn't need to make up for it in the future.
Ye Zan is still some distance away from the Yuanshen Realm, so the spiritual energy generated by the False God Realm during this period is of no use to him. In order not to waste these spiritual energies, and to make Yu Qingzong stronger, he decided to tell Mo Rushi about this and see if Mo Rushi could use these spiritual energies.
He didn't tell Mo Ruye before, it wasn't because Ye Zan was stingy or didn't trust the other party, but because he was really too lazy to waste words.
After all, for orthodox ascetics, this kind of thing of absorbing other people's spiritual energy is a bit like a method of magic. Even if this spiritual energy is just the escape of people's thinking activities in the False God Realm, it will not cause any adverse effects on those people, but it still takes some time to explain it.
As for Ye Zan's previous situation, he was too lazy to think about it. If it wasn't for the quick recovery, he wouldn't even think about doing online games and charity events.
In addition, Ye Zan himself is not a supernatural power, and he is not sure how to use these spiritual energies in the primordial realm. Telling Mo Ruye about this now is just to try to see if Mo Ruye can find a way, otherwise he will have to wait for him to advance to the Yuanshen Realm before studying how to use these spiritual energies.
Soon, Mo Rushi, who got the news, came to enter the False God Realm and came in front of Ye Zan.
After listening to Ye Zan's explanation, Mo Rushi finally figured out the source of spiritual energy, and then he let go of all the worries in his heart, and began to meditate in the False God Realm. However, there is no precedent for refining spiritual energy into divine thoughts from ancient times to the present, and the only thing that can be used as a reference is some methods of magic.
Therefore, Mo Rushi couldn't find a solution immediately, and it still took a while to research and explore.
"Old Mo, I will leave this matter to you. True Lord Qinghong and I have already made an appointment, and we will set off for the South China Sea in two days." After Mo Rushi came out of the False God Realm, Ye Zan Said his next plan.
As soon as he heard that Ye Zan was going out to wander again, Mo Rushi immediately opened his eyes and asked very eagerly: "Junior brother, is there anything that cannot be done by the people below, but why do you have to do it yourself? You know , the South China Sea is a place where casual cultivators and sea monsters gather, and there have always been various disputes, so it is definitely not a good place!"
"Well, I can't do anything about it. I don't want to be intimidated by what I told you over there." Ye Zan pretended to be helpless, raised his finger and pointed in the direction of Tongtian Peak, and threw the pot to Xuan Yuan who was there. Sophisticated.
Although he was in the False God Realm, Mo Rushi immediately understood that what Ye Zan was referring to was not the location in the False God Realm, but the direction of Tongtian Peak in reality outside. And what is there on Tongtian Peak? Of course it is Xuanyuan Daozu! In other words, Ye Zan was going to the South China Sea this time because he was ordered by Taoist Xuanyuan, so what else can others say.
"Then, how about letting the four great demon kings go with you?" Mo Ru knew that he couldn't stop it, so he could only suggest to Ye Zan.
The four great demon kings are all strong at the level of primordial spirits, and they are not inferior to ordinary primordial spirits. Especially because of Cangquan Daoist's prohibition, they absolutely dare not be negligent about Ye Zan's safety, so they can be said to be very qualified candidates for bodyguards.
However, Ye Zan was not willing to take all the four great demon kings away. After all, the situation on Yuqingzong's side was changing recently, and it was inevitable that Mo Rushi would not be able to take care of them alone. So, after thinking for a while, Ye Zan shook his head and said, "Well, I'll just take the Whale King with me. After all, there is Qinghong Zhenjun. I believe that no one below Daojun Faxiang can threaten me."
There are many islands in the South China Sea, and almost all the forces are entrenched on the islands. There are not many real forces on the land side. Therefore, after arriving in the South China Sea, if there is anything to do, I am afraid that most of them will be at sea. In comparison, Whale King is naturally the best choice. Besides, Ye Zan also invited Qinghong Zhenjun, who was a famous man back then, and even if his strength has recovered by 70% or 80%, it is not comparable to the power of ordinary primordial spirits.
Moreover, and more importantly, Ye Zan himself is not protected by others alone, such as Yuanshen Mecha and Zerg Dao Soldiers, which are released are enough for opponents to drink a pot. What's more, if you really meet Daoist Faxiang, what if you take all four big demon kings with you? Back then, Daoist Cangquan captured four big demon kings at once, couldn't other Daoist Faxiang do it? .
