MC's career as foreign lord

Chapter 241 Illusion

"Shea once told me about this world. Back then, we thought it was just an enlarged version of the racial network, at most a psionic world. I didn't expect it to be a special world filled with spirit and soul?" O'Harrell Kahn sighed.

Clearly, back then, they were just lords of an ordinary region, and all they wanted was a simple investment. Why has it suddenly become like this?

Not only is a system for forging money helping them, but it's also forcefully helping the half-dead wealth system, truly seizing the position of a chess player.

Another seemingly larger and more vibrant world seems to be gradually revealing itself. Even if this is just an empty world, the fact that these legendary powerhouses can enter means they can naturally understand that others can also enter.

Their keen senses allowed them to grasp the key point of this world and see the sincerity that this lord brought to them.

To reiterate, if a single force could truly devour such a vast world, the profits would be terrifyingly despairing. After all, except for the gods—and even the gods might be able to enter this world—this seems to be an excellent platform for communication.

Everyone doesn't have to worry about grudges, because in this world, it's just an illusory dream, and there's no real power. They don't have to worry about being discovered by enemies here, nor do they have to worry about encountering any problems here. This makes it the best platform for communication and meetings.

The only drawback might be that this platform is not under their control, so their gazes turned to the young lord. Now is the time for the game to begin.

For such a brand-new thing, most people are actually in a wait-and-see attitude. They don't think this thing is great, but they don't think the platform is bad either.

It is precisely because of this wait-and-see attitude that Zhou Ren needs to strengthen their confidence. This is actually very normal and common, just like in the original world, when he had to convince those investors to invest in a piece of land or an industry. If he didn't describe the future to them, how could they believe in his so-called verbal confidence?

The development of such a virtual world cannot be separated from the support of these super-large races, because a single ban from them can prevent a large number of people from entering this virtual world. This is something Zhou Ren cannot tolerate. Due to the true construction characteristics of this virtual world, it means that he must allow the vast majority of people to join in a short period of time, even if they only enter once.

Countless capital operations and countless special production battles in his previous life have actually proven this point. For a mature platform, it doesn't need to seize profits when the platform is first established. This is the most foolish method. He still needs to pull everyone to his side when he has his own platform and no competitors, and then start seizing profits.

After all, only when the real platform is established can you eat the upper house and the lower house, truly ensuring that whether it's the people who rely on the platform or the people who provide content to the platform, they must obtain your permission.

Only in this way can he achieve true seamless control and complete mastery of this platform. The expression on his face suddenly became confident. For such a completely unknown thing, of course, boasting wouldn't be particularly difficult.

So he immediately flew into the sky, but when the people below wanted to learn, they found that their bodies could not fly. They seemed to be confined, only able to walk in this area, with invisible air walls blocking them.

"Everyone, don't worry. This is a simple restriction. After all, the entire area is not perfect yet. If everyone could fly, it would easily become chaotic!" Zhou Ren comforted them, "Of course, if you choose to recharge, you can also get temporary flying rights!"

O'Harrell Kahn laughed and scolded, "You really are greedy for money!"

He didn't feel anything wrong and continued, "Then how can I recharge?"

Zhou Ren said with a smile, "Each special wealth currency will have a simple signal. You put these signals near the nearest Tree of Life, and the people from the Church of Wealth will help you recharge. They will help you convert the currency into a currency in the virtual world, and you can use it to pay."

As Zhou Ren spoke, he even very consciously helped him convert the real currency on his body into virtual currency and then took away the real currency on his body.

"Of course, in the territory, it's actually not necessary. You only need to say it casually, and someone will help you complete it!" His territory is full of Trees of Life, which, in a sense, means that it's all a network coverage area, which can achieve seamless networking.

This is actually a very interesting thing. Everyone who wants to recharge can achieve their goal as soon as possible. Maybe you'll be slow to let me maintain the server or repair the platform, but as long as you say recharge, then I will definitely take care of everything for you as soon as possible. Maybe I'm slow to do other things, but I'm really professional at recharging.

"You can take a look at your virtual account, which is in the upper right corner of your field of vision. We have specially created a very simple virtual display system for everyone. In this world, you can view all your attributes, possessions, and money in the virtual world, and privacy is set so that it will not be seen by others."

This itself is also part of the virtual service. After all, Zhou Ren, who has experienced the online world, clearly knows that for these people who want to be entertained, the most ultimate simplicity and the most comfortable actions are what they need most.

As for the price paid for this, it doesn't matter to others at all. Since this is what they see when they come here for the first time, then these things will become what they solidally believe in their field of vision.

This is actually the most important thing. After all, fixed cognition is the place where you need to spend the most money. This kind of thing can also be called consumerism to some extent.

The trap of consumerism is easy and pleasant to create. People who have experienced the trap of consumerism can always push the most accurate consumption information to their users. Anyway, for consumerism, regardless of whether you need it or not, I just need to tell you that you are missing it.

Under this special state, Zhou Ren quickly specially approved O'Harrell Kahn to obtain such an ability. This grand elder, who was clearly several thousand years old, rose up in front of a group of legendary powerhouses in this way. This way of flying is something that cannot be fully experienced in reality.

And everyone's gaze shifted slightly. Even though they all possessed good self-cultivation and the ability to endure, few could tolerate an old fellow showing off in front of them.

This is the second characteristic of consumerism: others have what I don't, and I can acquire it for only a small price. So, should I spend the money or not?

Moreover, it also involves another characteristic of consumerism, which is tailoring the approach to the individual. Because O'Halykorn himself is the Great Elder of the Elf race, his status, whether in the world or in other regions beyond the world, possesses sufficiently high value.

These values are usually discussed in terms of worth, others' admiration, and the comprehensive manifestation of the individual's identity and the power of their entire race.

Specifically, in this world, it translates to sufficiently powerful abilities and appearance, which naturally leads to sufficiently strong credibility. Since such a powerful expert has purchased the flight service, it indicates that the service has some value worth considering, and they wouldn't mind buying it as well.

Furthermore, for those lower-level individuals, having the opportunity to enjoy a service comparable to that of a top legendary expert, wouldn't that, by approximation, mean that they are also a top legendary figure?

This idea is, of course, biased, but for many people, it is precisely this biased thinking that truly reveals their inner selves.

In reality, everyone harbors a sense of competition and a desire for their future. Perhaps they cannot achieve it in the real world, but in the fantasy world, there is no shortage of people who want to acquire it in a different way.

So, quickly, others started requesting payment, and the skeletons outside stepped forward to collect the money one by one. Watching these people awaken from the virtual world, their bodies in the virtual world suddenly disappeared and then reappeared in the next instant.

Them reappearing with their virtual currency data displayed in the upper right corner of their screen, and then immediately purchasing the ability to fly on the interface that popped up in front of them. Some people even bought themselves a skin, and then that set of clothes suddenly changed, becoming an extremely gorgeous set that even shimmered with light.

They were having a great time just with this feature. Some people even bought a so-called vehicle. Even though there is no such thing in reality, here they could transform it into a celestial horse of some unknown race to drive, and then an extremely luxurious car would appear behind them.

"This car costs 500 Wealth Gold Coins. These people are really rich!" Zhou Ren exclaimed.

Compared to things in reality, the wealth in this virtual world is truly cost-free. He hasn't paid any price at all and has already obtained so many things.

But often, the various achievements and enjoyments gained here are the most direct. Whether in reality or in other worlds, you need great effort and very high luck to achieve something.

Even if you are lucky enough and all your efforts are in place, you still need to see if the world truly favors you. If you don't have that favor, even if you try again, you still won't be able to obtain even a tiny bit of success.

But in a world like this, it's different. All your efforts can be seen in effect. Every penny you spend will transform into a symbol of effort that you can see and hold in your hand, and it can become the clothes you wear and the attributes you increase in the virtual world.

Unlike in reality, where no matter how long you work, you might only see sweat, and other things might even be negatively increasing.

But Zhou Ren wouldn't actively say these things; he would only let them experience it in secret. After all, such an experience isn't particularly good. It's only when they truly encounter someone superior to themselves that they will better appreciate that feeling.

Especially those who are rich but not very strong in combat usually, they can even purchase various power experience packages here. From gods to ordinary people, all power levels can be experienced. However, Zhou Ren very shrewdly set time limits and power levels in these power experiences.

Again, ordinary browsing areas and purchasing areas are not allowed to fight. After all, this is just a virtual society, somewhat like a faith world, not a truly unlimited battle online game world, or, to use more fashionable words, a metaverse.

Zhou Ren said with a smile, "Such a complete world will inevitably become even more complete and wonderful after everyone's arrival. I wonder if such a world can move you all?"

He didn't say everything. He left all the resources and means of utilization to these people to experience for themselves. Only in this way can they make the most accurate judgments, instead of making abnormal judgments under various inducements. This is not a good thing. After all, when someone discovers that they have been deceived, their reactions may be very intense.

And once they feel that they have the initiative, that everything is judged by their own consciousness, it will give them a deeper sense of experience and a more powerful self-resolution ability.

This will not only prevent them from losing themselves in such judgments, but may even lead them to have more friendly thoughts and methods towards Zhou Ren. After all, as the saying goes, everyone thinks that only they are smart, and everyone else is a fool.

So, in this more self-centered judgment, perhaps Zhou Ren can gain more advantages. He won't guide these people in that direction. Smart people don't want to be guided. He will only reveal the reality of the world for these people to see.

And the more realistic thing is, naturally, what kind of decisions will they make when everyone discovers the reality of this world?

Zhou Ren doesn't know. In fact, he doesn't really want to know such a reality. After all, he himself has already seized enough profits. And now is not the time to seize profits, but to rely on his current skills to expand his influence and obtain more things.
