Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Please Don’t Go Up!

As one of the God of Technology’s most important believers in the mortal realm, Viscount Roster was pretty sensitive to most things happening on the Magic Net. What’s more, this time the commotion was really huge. He’d only just put down the stream.

Wool Ryan’s situation had undoubtedly opened a new door for him.

In less than an hour, over a million wool products that wouldn’t be needed until half a year later had sold out. So what about other things that could be used soon? Would they also get good sales?

What was Roster territory’s biggest problem right now?

The issue was that products were invented and produced, clearly able to impact the world, yet sales were incredibly slow. Even with the Golden Merchant Guild’s backing, the speed was still somewhat slow.

The appearance of Magic Net videos had undoubtedly broken through part of this situation. At the very least, it improved the transmission speed of information about their new products somewhat. But compared to what Wool Ryan did, it fell quite short.

Audrey’s message made Viscount Roster suddenly realize something.

There were many people qualified to sell goods through live streaming. On the Magic Net, you could say they were everywhere. Those who’d already exploded in popularity, those with some fame—they could all operate. But they were different from Wool Ryan and Master Carl. They didn’t have the ability to produce things. So what would they sell?

Of course they’d sell things produced by his Roster territory!

What Roster territory was least short of was products. Fresh ones, massive quantities, products that could be mass-produced at any time—there were way too many.

Having them handle sales and everyone splitting the money instantly became a pretty good idea.

Killing two birds with one stone!

Audrey quickly understood what Viscount Roster meant. Actually, this idea coincided with the Church of Love and Beauty’s plans to a certain degree. They’d originally planned to establish such a "streaming base." Now they just needed to add one business.

Once successful, even if only a few people succeeded, it would be pure profit for them.

"Sure, I think this plan is workable. I’ll instruct the designers to redesign to meet these needs."

Audrey quickly collected her thoughts and said with a smile, "So then, Mr. Roster, pleasure doing business!"

"Pleasure doing business."

After Viscount Roster ended his conversation with her, he returned his gaze to the parchment in front of him. Written on it was clearly "A Hypothesis on the Important Promotional Role of Advertising, Live-Streaming Sales, Logistics, and Banking on Magic-Tech Industrial Development." "I must quickly establish ultra-high-speed trains in some regions. That way, magic-tech industry development will definitely accelerate."

Dragon Delivery currently provided five different speeds of logistics transport. Specifically:

1).Dragons deliver door-to-door, one-on-one service, continent-wide 1-day delivery.

2).Dragons handle air transport to important nodes in various regions. Currently there are 12 such nodes continent-wide. After arriving at nodes, local Griffin Mail, Giant Eagle Knights and such handle regional transport, can deliver door-to-door, transport time 2 to 7 days.

3).Dragons handle air transport to important nodes in various regions, Griffin Mail, Giant Eagle Knights and such handle transport to smaller cities, ground personnel handle final delivery, requires 2 to 15 days.

4).Dragons handle air transport to important nodes in various regions, ground personnel handle local transport, requires 2 to 30 days.

5).Ground personnel delivery, requires 2 to 90 days.

Each type had different prices, and the time required was also very unstable. This seemed to still have certain limitations on "online shopping" efficiency. But if ultra-high-speed trains started becoming widespread, the situation would be vastly different.

Many things had happened recently, with big changes. The matters Viscount Roster needed to handle were increasing.

By the time he finished sorting out the relationships between advertising, live-streaming sales, and logistics, along with future plans, the sky was already showing pale dawn light.

And at this moment, the atmosphere on the Magic Net was getting increasingly "tense."

Less than three hours remained until the auction ended for the first auction item, the Spring of Life.

At this point, the Spring of Life’s price had climbed to 600,000 gold coins.

The bidder hadn’t used anonymous mode. It showed his title and identity directly—Meteor Volcano Sakaski, a veteran legendary mage skilled in fire and earth magic. His signature technique was fusing these two magic types to create something like magma, erupting like a volcano in an indiscriminate attack over a huge surrounding area.

Years ago, just because of a difference in philosophy, he’d directly gone to war with another legendary mage, causing the continent to gain a new forbidden zone. Three hundred years later, that region was still half magma, half frozen. People called it the Ice-Fire Forest!

His super explosive personality made people terrified. For a while, many didn’t dare continue bidding. Many people online even speculated nobody would dare compete with this big shot anymore.

However, after this price held for about forty or fifty minutes, someone suddenly raised it directly to 800,000 gold coins. At the same time, they mocked online, "Usernames are chosen by yourself, transport is handled by dragons. After the auction ends, the sky is full of dragons transporting auction items. Who can find me?"

As soon as this was said.

Quite a few people thought it made sense, until someone sent a message:

"But people on the continent who can come up with this price can be counted on one hand. Just check them one by one and you’ll know, right? Plus you could totally just see which big shot got younger. Whoever got younger is the person who bought it, right?"

The moment they saw this message, quite a few people’s mouths twitched.

That actually makes sense!

But who among those actually bidding would care?

If they were seriously injured and about to die, or their lifespan was running out—if you’re about to lose your life, would you weigh whether you’d offend people?!

I’ll extend my life, then directly hide. If anyone comes looking for me, I’ll remember their name. When you die, I’ll get revenge on your whole family. Isn’t that a better choice? As for other losses, there’s no help for that.

With this kind of thinking backing them up, as time pressed closer, the price kept getting higher and higher.

850,000, 900,000, 1 million, 1.02 million, 1.08 million...

One jaw-dropping price after another kept appearing. The crowd who’d gotten up early to watch the drama seemed to be getting nervous too.

Discussion and speculation were everywhere.

Quite a few people were curious—what price would it finally sell for? Who would be able to buy it!

In the Council of Elders on Dragon Island.

Grand Magician Meteor Fall Drinkwater was also nervous to the extreme at this moment. Looking at the constantly rising price, he trembled all over with excitement.

This Spring of Life could be said to be his last hope!

He’d already put everything he had on the line, but he only had 1.5 million gold coins!

If it kept rising like this... what should he do?

Please don’t keep rising!

Please rise slower!

Grand Magician Drinkwater even started praying in a low voice.
