Yu Zhibo was completely stunned as he looked at the golden-haired girl on stage, who was the center of everyone's attention.
The former basement had, at some unknown time, been transformed into an open-air plaza, shimmering with neon lights. The cheers came from the numerous Chaos beings in human form gathered below the stage.
Among these Chaos beings were many who had reached the Void Returning realm, but the majority were A-class, numbering over ten thousand.
Yu Zhibo was utterly impressed.
When it came to the spread of Earth's culture, he was willing to crown Xiyang Yanji as the strongest!
In just a few short years, Xiyang Yanji, with her extraordinary intelligence, had traced back to the roots. She not only successfully understood the operational principles of the internet and various mobile phone models but also developed the Chaos Network, a spiritual energy network, based on existing technology. Powered by a biological spirit crystal intelligent processing system, she had successfully achieved the supernaturalization of the network.
Above the plaza, a server resembling a Pandora's magic core rotated slowly, projecting countless invisible spiritual energy network connections to computers and various machines. The network coverage spanned millions of kilometers.
Unfortunately, all that could be created was the network itself. Yu Zhibo discovered that the machines used by his teammates for competitions were modified versions of original Earth products. This was because both mobile phones and computers involved too many intricate components, making it impossible to manufacture them from scratch in a short period.
However, even so, Xiyang Yanji was incredibly remarkable.
"What outstanding scientific research talent this is!"
Yu Zhibo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The moment his words fell, his and Bai Yinchen's presence finally attracted the attention of many.
Seemingly perceiving them as intruders, a wave of overwhelming malice surged towards them with their gazes.
"Everyone, please calm down. This is Yu Zhibo, the progenitor of the Supernatural Internet. The inspiration for my development of the supernatural network came from him."
On stage, Xiyang Yanji was overjoyed to see Yu Zhibo arrive and immediately stopped everyone from attempting to expel him.
"Whoosh~"
As these words were spoken, all malice vanished, and the crowd erupted in excitement once more.
A man with ink-black long hair, his upper body bare and covered in black markings, transformed into a wisp of smoke and dissipated on the spot. The next second, he appeared before Yu Zhibo, looking at him with eager eyes and saying, "Fellow Daoist, do you still have any mobile phones on you? I'll pay a high price to buy them!"
Before Yu Zhibo could speak, a huge shadow enveloped him. The man with black markings was sent flying with a punch, replaced by a stout man nearly five meters tall with an upturned nose.
The true form of this stout man, a Chaos creature, was indistinguishable, but his level had reached the Void Returning stage, putting immense pressure on Yu Zhibo.
Seeing this stout man, others who had intended to rush forward immediately halted their impulses.
Bai Yinchen narrowed his eyes slightly.
However, the stout man with the upturned nose didn't even glance at her. He merely stared at Yu Zhibo and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, if you give me five mobile phones and computers, I am willing to exchange them for five Chaos Spirit Stones."
"Chaos Spirit Stones?" Yu Zhibo's eyes narrowed, finding the entire situation utterly preposterous.
On Earth, how much did a mobile phone and a computer cost?!
Even though merit points had depreciated, one merit point was more than enough.
And now, this individual was willing to exchange Chaos Spirit Stones for them. Were the natives of this place so lacking in entertainment?
What were Chaos Spirit Stones? Their formation process was far more arduous than that of spirit stones. They were condensations of chaotic energy, and only beings at the Void Returning stage could condense them through their methods.
When he first arrived in the Realm Vein Land, Yu Zhibo had considered bringing some back, but such items were in the hands of powerful beings lurking in the darkness. At his then-current level of A-class Law Stage, he had no right to possess them.
He had learned about these things from Little Golden Crow.
And now? For just five mobile phones and five computers, he could exchange for five Chaos Spirit Stones, which were yearned for by Chaos beings below the Void Returning stage.
For the beings in the Realm Vein Land, Chaos was the primordial source of all things, with Yin and Yang and the Five Elements ranking behind it. It had immense effects on both the comprehension of heavenly laws and the enhancement of spell and divine ability power.
Yu Zhibo said without hesitation, "Deal!"
He didn't lack mobile phones or computers; he had a large pile of them in his Pure Land space. In addition to those, he also had electric scooters, motorcycles, claw machines, and various other Earth products. Fearing boredom in the upper realm, he had stockpiled a great many, storing them in folded spaces he had opened within his Pure Land.
He possessed countless merit points. With just a request, he had almost cleared out the inventory of various products from an entire province.
The stout man with the upturned nose nodded happily, waved his large hand, and immediately five Chaos Spirit Stones, emitting a hazy aura, floated in mid-air. He then looked expectantly at Yu Zhibo.
'Although this stout man possesses Void Returning-level combat power, his intelligence seems to be quite low, more like a seven or eight-year-old child.'
Yu Zhibo mused inwardly, vaguely guessing the reason, and felt less inclined to bully an honest person.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Chaos Spirit Stones are too precious, and five mobile phones are too few. Do you have any more Chaos Spirit Stones? I'll trade you more fun things!"
The stout man's eyes lit up, but then his expression turned dejected. "Condensing Chaos Spirit Stones is quite difficult. These five are all I have in stock."
"Alright!" Yu Zhibo said, somewhat disappointed. He used a grand technique to compress a space into a silver spatial ring, then used his念头 to load it with five hundred mobile phones, five hundred computers, and several game consoles. He handed it over.
He said, "If you have Chaos Spirit Stones in the future, you can come find me to trade again. I have even more fun things."
"Okay!" The stout man took the ring. With a casual scan of his divine sense, his eyes widened, and he looked at Yu Zhibo excitedly, his voice trembling, "You... you... so many."
"Shh!" Yu Zhibo smiled at him, "Take them and have fun!"
The stout man with the upturned nose cheered, and the phantom of a silver-backed, red-furred creature flashed across him, instantly vanishing into the distance.
"A Zhu Yan variant with Chaos bloodline..."
Yu Zhibo narrowed his eyes, gazing thoughtfully in the direction the stout man had disappeared.
After the stout man with the upturned nose left, the crowd behind him no longer held back and swarmed forward.
"I want to trade too, Fellow Daoist. I'm willing to exchange five spirit stones from Nascent Soul-level Chaos beasts for one mobile phone and one computer."
"Fellow Daoist, I have Chaos Golden Crystal, it's very hard!"
"My meat is very delicious, I'll cut you a piece of thigh meat, Fellow Daoist, and give it to me for a mobile phone!"
"I can cut out my kidney for you, and it regenerates one every day. Want to trade?"
...
On stage, the MVP player Xiyang Yanji was no longer being paid attention to. These spectators seemed to have just broken free from a frenzied and chaotic consciousness. They didn't know how long they had stayed in this chaotic and boundless world. It was the mobile phones and computers that made them feel what it was like to truly "live."
Yu Zhibo was submerged in the crowd.
