Release of the fairyland blue bird, the witch said she couldn't stand it

Chapter 439 Let's see who has borrowed from whom!
Just as Immortal Lord Ziyang was methodically making arrangements and handing over instructions...

The rising star Jian Ao beside him couldn't help but whisper a reminder:

"Immortal Lord, do you know how to fight in a PK (player versus player) battle?"

"Isn't it just a live stream connection, with a popularity bar above each person's head? Whoever has the higher popularity bar wins. Do you think I don't know that?"

I've been using a mobile phone for so long.

For live streaming.

While Ziyang Immortal Lord may not be an expert, he certainly has some understanding of the subject.

As for popularity?

Ha ha.

Immortal Lord Ziyang couldn't help but puff out his chest.

His Purple Sun Immortal Realm is now thriving, thanks to the support of the immortals who already reside there.

The cultivators from the Spirit Continent and the Western Fantasy Continent, as well as the immortals who defected from the Hanyang Immortal Realm to his Ziyang Immortal Realm during this period, would most likely support him, right?
Let's take another look at the Immortal Lord of Hanyang?
Gee tut.

With so many immortals around, what right do they have to compete with me in popularity?

Looking at the proud Ziyang Immortal Lord.

Jian Ao touched his nose and reminded him:
"Uh, Immortal Lord, you only know the 'what' but not the 'why'. This PK, on ​​the surface, is about popularity, but in reality, it's about immortal crystals, connections, and financial resources."

"Oh? Trading Immortal Crystals?"

"Yes, generally speaking, without spending money, a user needs 30 likes to exchange for 1 popularity point, and even if they get a lot of likes within 10 minutes, they can only get 5 popularity points."

"This efficiency is too low? It only gets 1 point of popularity after 30 taps on the screen, and there's a time limit too. What about spending money to buy it?"

"Pay-to-win?"

Jian Ao smiled slightly:
"One popularity ticket costs 1 spirit stone, which is equal to 0.01 immortal crystals. Just think how many popularity points one immortal crystal is worth?"

"hiss!"

Immortal Lord Ziyang gasped.

In other words.

One Immortal Crystal equals 100 Popularity Points?
"Doesn't that mean the power of the immortal crystals is greater than real popularity?"

"Yeah, what do you think our chances of winning this PK are?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Ziyang frowned.

The Purple Sun Immortal Realm has indeed been making a fortune lately.

But the expenses are also high!
He spent real money to attract immortals from the Hanyang Immortal Realm to settle down!
It mainly comes down to the accumulation of knowledge and experience.

As a newly promoted immortal lord, his foundation was originally inferior to that of the Hanyang Immortal Lord.

Moreover, the five top-grade immortal crystal mines in Hanyang Immortal Realm exceed the three mines in Ziyang Immortal Realm.

"What should we do? This is a matter of utmost importance, and our Purple Sun Immortal Realm has every reason not to lose!"

Jian Ao nodded and said:

"Actually, I do have some ideas."

"Oh? Please tell me quickly!"

Jian Ao smiled slightly and presented his solution:

"You can apply for a loan at Wan San Bank! With your status, you can definitely get a large sum of immortal stones!"

"In addition, you can also take out a mortgage loan, which allows you to borrow more money!"

"For example, you can mortgage rare and precious materials, or even immortal crystal mines and the Purple Sun Immortal Mansion! As long as you mortgage them, you can definitely get a loan of an astronomical amount!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Ziyang Immortal Lord stared at Jian Ao in utter shock.

How could I possibly mortgage these things?!

Jian Ao was embarrassed for a moment, but still continued:
"Immortal Lord, it's just a pledge. There's a formal contract witnessed by the Heavenly Dao. As long as you have the money, you can redeem it anytime."

"So you're still asking me to redeem it. I thought you were trying to get me to sell my immortal abode."

Ziyang Immortal Lord stroked his chin, deep in thought.

In the end, I still felt that something was not quite right.

"The Immortal Abode and the Immortal Crystal Mine are absolutely not to be mortgaged. We can mortgage other things, otherwise, relying solely on our resources, we really can't compete with that old dog, Immortal Lord Hanyang."

"Great, it just so happens that my great-grandson's best friend is the president of Wan San Bank. As long as you ask, I'll call him right away. If you borrow a lot, he might even give you some eggs and soybean oil."

"Oh? Please introduce me quickly!"

Looking at the attitude of Immortal Lord Ziyang towards Jian Ao.

Many people in the immortal abode began to feel a pang of sadness.

How could a mere Earth Immortal like Jian Ao be allowed to serve by the side of Immortal Lord Ziyang?
It's all thanks to having a great-great-grandson!

Mudd!

Why are my descendants in the lower realms so disappointing?
All they do is cultivate themselves; they've ruined their brains!

"President, Immortal Lord Ziyang has asked me to process a loan. He wants to mortgage one-third of the commercial district in the core area of ​​Ziyang Immortal Mansion to us."

Inside the Wan San Building in Lin Yao City.

Zhen Youqian arrived at Jiang Chen's office with an incredibly excited expression, carrying a thick stack of contracts.

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen, who was holding the immortal walnuts, revealed a meaningful expression:

"He most likely came to us specifically to apply for a loan so that he could have a PK battle with Immortal Lord Hanyang."

"Yes."

Zhen Youqian nodded.

At the same time, he told Jiang Chen all the information he had learned from Jian Ao, and added at the end:

"President, this is, after all, a struggle between Immortal Lords. Should our Spirit Qi Continent get involved?"

'Boom~'

Jiang Chen slammed the walnuts heavily onto the table:
"Loan it to him!"

"it is good."

Zhen Youqian didn't ask any more questions.

Because he believed that since the president dared to do this, he must have his own reasons and confidence, he immediately picked up the contract and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait! It's not over yet."

Jiang Chen stopped Zhen Youqian and said with a smile:
"Since Immortal Lord Ziyang has already asked us to process the loan, then you should also have someone inform Immortal Lord Hanyang and ask him if he wants to process the loan and have him mortgage the immortal stone mine to us."

After a pause, Jiang Chen instructed:
"Don't be too deliberate; just let the news out casually."

After listening, Zhen Youqian nodded, but at the same time, some doubts arose in his mind:
"President, aren't we on the side of Ziyang Immortal Realm? Aren't we aiding the enemy by doing this?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately smiled.

"There are no eternal enemies in this world. Only when the Hanyang Immortal Realm also develops will the Ziyang Immortal Lord listen to us more."

"Besides, who said we're sponsoring Immortal Lord Hanyang? Didn't we get our hands on his immortal stone mine?"

"We are business people. If someone asks us for a loan, how can we refuse?"

After Zhen Youqian left.

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

He does.

This is undoubtedly playing with fire!

One wrong move and you could completely offend a celestial lord.

Once so.

Unless he never goes to the Immortal Realm again, and never opens up special train tickets between the Immortal Realm and the Spiritual Continent.

Otherwise, their lives would certainly not be guaranteed.

Although the Spirit Continent is constantly upgrading, it is still too weak compared to the Immortal Realm, with virtually no accumulation of power.

Despite the benefits of the "spiritual energy revival," it is estimated that the first batch of Xuanxian (mystical immortals) will appear within a hundred years.

But you should know that there are many Golden Immortals in the Immortal Realm.

There are also Great Luo Golden Immortals, Immortal Lords, and an Immortal Emperor-level figure who presided over the Great War between Immortals and Gods.

He currently has two sources of confidence.

One advantage is that it possesses a large number of talented individuals whose minds have been thoroughly opened up.

These are talents that even immortal lords would greatly desire to possess.

As long as the immortal realm wants to continue developing, it's not good to directly offend itself.

Second.

This is also the source of Jiang Chen's confidence to take a gamble.

He has already saved up three chances to win the lottery.

Honor of Kings, 91 Media, and Momo have all surpassed 20 billion registered users. Three chances to win a prize!

Based on the system's past urination patterns.

It must also understand its current "difficulties and predicaments".

Just like discovering the Western Fantasy Continent and soon after unlocking the Ctrip travel dimension high-speed rail for himself.

As long as the system wants to develop on its own.

That means we must solve the problem of the severe mismatch between the current strength of the Spirit Continent and the Immortal Realm.

Otherwise, the Spirit Continent in this version is unplayable.

The reason I opened the high-speed rail to the Immortal Realm before.

The main reason is that the system has reached a bottleneck in its development.

Only when a large number of new users in the Immortal Realm register their mobile phones can one obtain a chance to win a prize.

Furthermore, the cultivators of the Spirit Continent pose no threat to the Immortal Realm and can provide a large amount of cheap labor, as well as various types of talents to help the Immortal Realm develop.

There's no reason for the Immortal Realm to attack the Spirit Qi Continent.

That's why he dared to open the high-speed rail.

However, this is only a temporary measure.

Not every immortal lord has a good temper like the Purple Sun Immortal Lord.

"So, System, you understand me, right?"

First draw!!!
[Congratulations, host! You have won the shopping app (Pinduoduo). You will receive a 20% rebate on all subsequent top-ups made within the app.]

Jiang Chen: ???
Mudd?

What are you doing!

"Come again!"

Second draw!!!
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully obtained access to the game platform (Weibo modified version). You will receive a 20% rebate on all subsequent in-app purchases.]

"WeGame modified version? Holy crap, it's WeGame?!"

Jiang Chen gave it a quick glance.

This platform includes all games that have already been launched, except for those such as QQ Speed, Dungeon Fighter Online, Eternal Elite, and Honor of Kings.

There is also a "self-service creation" function.

In other words, you can develop a game based on your own ideas and creativity.

Awesome!
But this isn't what he wants right now!
"Forget the password system, let's get some rule-based rewards like high-speed trains! Let's turn the tide, go!"

Third draw!!!
[Congratulations, host! You have been granted access to the management backend (Tencent Games Security Center). From now on, you will receive a 20% rebate on all in-app purchases.]

Jiang Chen: ???
Just as Jiang Chen was studying the three new apps.

Meanwhile, Hanyang Immortal Lord quickly learned through some rumors that Ziyang Immortal Lord had obtained a large loan from Wan San Bank.

At first, he didn't think much of it.

After all, in his view, as a dignified immortal lord, he must have far more immortal stones than Wan San Bank.

"Heh, what kind of waves can a 1:100 ratio of purchasing power make? One poor guy borrowing money from another poor guy? That's hilarious."

But when he learned the total amount of the loan to Ziyang Immortal Realm, his smile immediately vanished.

"What! He actually managed to borrow 300 billion immortal stones?! Are you crazy?!"

"Damn it? What's the background of this Wan San Bank? How can they have so many immortal stones?!"

Upon hearing his words...

Qin Yu Da Luo, who was standing to the side, quickly explained:
"According to the information I found on Douyin, Wan San Group now has complete control over the economic lifeline of the two major planes, Lingqi Continent and Xihuan Continent."

"In these two dimensions, almost every one of the more than 20 billion beings has a mobile phone. Whether it's clothing, food, housing, transportation, or entertainment, they can't live without the Wansan Building."

"Moreover, Wan San Group earns a corresponding handling fee for all transactions made on the mobile phone. For example, with gifts given as tips, the streamer can only keep half, and the other half belongs to Wan San Group."

Damn it?

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Lord of Hanyang was immediately unsettled.

He already thought highly of this amazing device, but now it seems he still underestimated it by a large margin!
At the same time, he made up his mind.

Regardless of whether he wins or loses this competition, he really needs to find a way to understand this Wan San Group and its president.

Hanyang Immortal Lord was still in a daze.

Qin Yu continued to explain the financial situation of the Wan San Group:

"Besides these, in fact, users in the lower realm who have mobile phones all store the spirit stones and immortal stones they usually earn in their Douyin wallets. Now it's all digital payment, you know? For example, when Immortal Lord Ziyang takes out a loan, Wan San Group only needs to move a finger, and Immortal Lord Ziyang's Douyin account will have tens of billions of immortal stones."

"This"

The Immortal Lord of Hanyang was deeply shocked.

But at the same time, there are some things I don't understand.

"So, according to you, the immortal crystals he borrowed are actually just a virtual string of numbers that only exist in his phone?"

"That's fine if you interpret it that way."

"Holy shit?"

Hanyang Immortal Lord couldn't help but utter a curse:
"So the Wan San Group can have as many immortal crystals as they want? Since they control the mobile phone and Douyin, they only need to modify the data in the background?"

"No and no."

Qin Yu Da Luo shook his head and explained:

"At first, I had the same idea as you, Immortal Lord, but later I found that it was not like that at all, because even though it is virtual, you can choose to withdraw it as Immortal Crystals."

"Of course, very few people will choose to withdraw their money, because the items you buy on Douyin's online shopping cart can only be paid for using Douyin Wallet."

"Items purchased offline can also be paid for directly by scanning a QR code through Douyin Wallet. If the other party has not activated the merchant payment code, you can simply add them as a Douyin friend and then send them a red envelope."

"If you buy something that costs 346.571 Immortal Crystals, the process of getting change and taking out Immortal Crystals is troublesome and unsightly. But with Douyin Pay, you don't have any of these troubles."

Hanyang Immortal Lord:
understood.

But I didn't fully understand it.

Although everything sounds reasonable.

But he always felt that something was off.

The immortal crystals that he possessed were real, but in the end, they could only be exchanged for a string of cold numbers.

Of course, this string of numbers can also be "cashed out" and exchanged for fairy crystals.

But the problem is
Is the amount that Wan San Group puts into users' Douyin wallets "unlimited"?
Or is the maximum amount that can be entered simply the "total amount" that all mobile users have recharged into Douyin Wallet?
If it is infinite.

Does that mean the Wan San Group has an inexhaustible supply of immortal crystals?
He found this somewhat strange, but he had no way of verifying it.

He can only verify this if he can get all mobile phone users to retrieve all the spirit stones and immortal crystals they have stored in Douyin.

In reality, many mobile phone users have no savings.

Not only do they have no savings, but they also have to make "repayments" to their Douyin wallets every month.

A large portion of them are users burdened with mortgages and car loans.

Breathe a long sigh of relief.

Immortal Lord Hanyang regained his composure.

Now is not the time to think about such nonsense. The most urgent task is to win the PK with Immortal Lord Ziyang tomorrow night.

Even if Immortal Lord Ziyang had borrowed 300 billion immortal stones before, he wouldn't have been afraid.

Because he, as a veteran immortal, had accumulated quite a few immortal stones.

But recently, he's been buying followers, buying Douyin+ (TikTok's paid promotion service), and adding in citizenship subsidies and sending red envelopes to netizens on Douyin. His Xian Shi (virtual currency) has been spent like water.

The value of the property has shrunk significantly.

Although he possessed five immortal stone mines, mining immortal stones still took time.

The main thing is.

What if, during the fight, Immortal Lord Ziyang realizes he can't beat me and then goes to Wan San Bank for a loan?
The thought that he might lose this PK to that brat Ziyang made Hanyang Immortal Lord extremely anxious.

"Absolutely not! I can't lose to him! If they can get loans, so can we!"

"However, how exactly do we apply for this loan? There's no Wan San Bank in our Hanyang Immortal Realm."

Just as Hanyang Immortal Lord was pacing back and forth anxiously, Qin Yu Daluo suddenly said something.

"It seems that Zhen Youqian, the president of Wan San Bank, has a Douyin account. You can try contacting him."

"Ok?"

The extremely anxious Immortal Lord of Hanyang's eyes lit up:
"Oh right, how could I have forgotten about that?"

After saying that, he immediately opened Douyin and quickly found Zhen Youqian's work account. He sent a private message to him, just to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, the other party replied instantly.

Seeing that the other party had agreed to his request.

Immortal Lord Hanyang was overjoyed!

"Great! That's fantastic! If Immortal Lord Ziyang borrows 300 billion, I'll borrow 500 billion. Let's see who can outdo whom!"
