Chapter 2054 Cloud Card (Ⅰ)
It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. If the current Joan is allowed to go back to four years ago, and return to the state of life where he was forced to work hard from morning till night, hungry and full in order to raise tuition fees, to be honest, he feels that he may not be able to take it calmly. .

Since the "Far East Cloud Network" was officially launched, it has been in operation for a whole year. During this period, many new functions have been launched successively. From the initial "Spell Bank", it has gradually expanded into a financial, shopping, news and social functions. Comprehensive platform.
"Cloud network", just like the "magic network" to which it is attached, is invisible and intangible, but omnipresent, and closely connected with all users. It has no life itself, but uses complicated networks to connect countless living users together. Constitute a huge organism, breathe together, and share fate.
If the "magic net" is the source of the supernatural power of the casters, the "cloud net" provides the casters with a way of life that is more convenient and attractive than the real society.
Take Joan as an example, he is not interested in social entertainment, and his daily life is two points and one line between the apartment and the school, which remains unchanged. Compared with the boring and monotonous real life, he can find more fun on the "cloud network".
Visit the various small shops on the shopping platform, compare prices, order goods, and occasionally sell something in the small shop you open.
Jump to the news page to browse the news of various countries, browse through topics of interest on the forum, answer questions posted by others, and occasionally offer rewards to find answers to difficult questions...
Before I knew it, the whole day was gone.
These characteristics of the "cloud network" make Qiao An firmly believe that it is the greatest invention in the world of Vares since this century. The rapid expansion of the "cloud network" and the crazy growth of users in the past year indicate that he is optimistic about the "cloud network". He is far more than the only person of insight in the future.
At the beginning of the birth of "Cloud Network", what Qiao An was most worried about was that its operating organization was too closely integrated with the Kolas government in the Far East. Once the political situation in the Far East changed, "Cloud Network" would also be implicated and could not continue to provide stable services to customers. And high-quality service.
Through this whole year of observation, Joann's views have undergone a complete reversal.
Now he believes that it is not the Far East government and its operating companies that are maintaining the "Cloud Network", but the "Cloud Network" that is protecting the Kolas regime in the Far East!
Only one year after the "cloud network" was born, the momentum of "too big to fail" has emerged. From daily life to business work, there are tens of thousands of people like Qiao An who rely heavily on the "cloud network". Most of them do not live in the Far East and have never set foot in that remote place of exile, but the "cloud network" has become an indispensable and important tool in their lives, and there is no substitute for it in the foreseeable future .
Qiao An is very clear that one of the heavy users of "Cloud Network" like him counts as one, and all of them are spell casters. The total number may not be many, but their social influence is a hundred times that of ordinary people.
Through the link of "cloud network", the spellcasting class around the world has been firmly tied to the Far East Kolas government, even if it is only to protect their own interests and to maintain the stable operation of "cloud network", they also tend to Yu supported the Far Eastern government that was denounced by the imperial authorities as a traitor.
From this perspective, the "cloud network" actually has the attributes of a diplomatic united front, and it is more beautiful than the foreign affairs department of the Kolas government.
If one day in the future, the imperial authorities send troops to the east to quell the chaos, Qiao An feels that the vast majority of "cloud network" users will choose to support the Kolas government instead of the Holy Ashean Empire. For the Far Easterners who are in a weak position, this is An invisible "protection net" that cannot be ignored.
Joan believes that the imperial authorities must either simply recognize the independence of the Far East, or send troops to suppress it as soon as possible. Continuing to delay like this is the worst option, and it is tantamount to a missed opportunity.
The longer the time drags on, the stronger the Kolas government will become in both soft and hard aspects, and the gap with the empire will continue to narrow. If it drags on for another three to five years, even if the empire intends to go east, it will not regain the lost ground ability.
In fact, Roland Kolas, the prince of the Far East who created the "cloud network", has far exceeded Joan's imagination in terms of ambition and structure.
Just when he positioned "Yunwang" as a "paradise for spellcasters", in March 1624, the operating company of "Yunwang" successfully developed a magical device called "Yunka", which was officially released for sale immediately. , thus marking the coming of a new era.
The so-called "cloud card" is actually a key. The holder does not need to be good at casting spells to connect to the cloud network through the "cloud card", open an account, and enjoy the same services as the caster.
Once the "Cloud Card" was launched, it immediately aroused widespread heated discussions in the community forum that comes with "Cloud Network".
Including Joan, the veteran users of "Cloud Network" have realized that the Kolas government is not satisfied with creating a virtual network exclusive to spellcasters, but also wants to promote this way of life to Vares In every corner of the world, ordinary people who do not understand magic are also encouraged to join the "cloud network" and become part of this virtual world, thus forming a community that transcends national boundaries and nations—or more precisely, an ecological circle !
This great concept is indeed amazing and admirable, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the high price of "cloud cards" is obviously not affordable for ordinary people in the market. Those who can afford to buy cloud cards are at least from middle-class families, For a long period of time to come, there will be two basic types of users of the "cloud network" - spell casters and wealthy people.
Frankly speaking, as long as the "cloud network" wins the support of the spellcasters and the wealthy class—in fact, there is a great intersection between the two—it can basically be invincible.
The wealthy class who cannot cast spells have three main purposes of buying cloud cards: using the trading platform provided by Yunwang to expand their real-life business, or simply using Yunwang as a channel for shopping and financial management; in addition, through the cloud network news platform Learn about the current affairs of various countries, and search for topics of interest through the cloud network community.
The new way of life symbolized by the "cloud network" was originally only available to the caster class. After a year of brewing, the door to the new world is finally open to ordinary people, especially for those who have money and leisure. The allure of the "cloud card" has become a matter of course.
The tide of change of the times is rolling in. Some people are carried by the tide and drift with the tide, some stand on the shore and watch with cold eyes, and a very small number of smart people seize the business opportunities to make a fortune during the change.
