God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 314: Trendsetter of the Era

After discovering Pages, Viscount Roster had immediately registered a whole bunch—almost every factory under him, every organization had registered one. But no matter which one, the response wasn’t particularly big.

Promotions in various places also didn’t attract much attention.

You could say that aside from the World Economic News Agency’s Page, the others were just set up, that’s all.

He’d originally figured this was just because the new feature had just appeared and everyone wasn’t familiar with it yet. Things would get better after a while.

But now?

The Church of Agriculture, this entity that had been keeping a low profile on Magic Net and had almost become invisible, had actually broken through 200,000 Page followers because of one livestream.

According to Viscount Roster and his think tank’s analysis, 200,000 Page followers were at least equivalent to the effect that 1.5 million video followers could bring.

All along, thinking of himself as a trendsetter of the era, Viscount Roster actually felt a hint of jealousy at this moment.

Really was one version, one meta.

But he reined in his thoughts quickly.

What the Church of Agriculture came up with this time was indeed interesting.

Weather forecast.

For his Southern Development Corporation, this was definitely a very important thing. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Previously, whenever he needed it, he’d personally go to the Southern Cathedral of the Church of Agriculture and have deep communications with them, owe a favor, then get weather information in exchange. But in the future, all this would be free and directly accessible.

The only pity was that if he asked the Church of Agriculture people to predict, he could generally see the weather for the next three days. But through Magic Net, he could only see one day.

There was still a certain gap.

"Actually, I can’t really say that."

At this thought, Viscount Roster shook his head slightly. "Only powerful clerics can predict three days of weather. Ordinary clerics can’t do it. Moreover, the longer the time, the lower the accuracy. The Church of Agriculture people want to build their reputation, so they can only predict short-term."

"Not bad though. Directly benefiting almost all agricultural people. In the future, farmland production will definitely get a decent boost from this."

Grain production determined population size.

For him, Roster, wasn’t this also good news?

"It’s just the cooperation between them... Wait, no. Others don’t know the World Economic News Agency is mine. I’m just helping connect them. If the World Economic News Agency and weather forecast can cooperate, that’s naturally best. If they can’t cooperate, it’s actually fine too."

Thinking of this, Viscount Roster shook his head slightly and continued processing documents.

For some reason, he had a premonition, like something big might happen today.

The situation with the Church of Agriculture’s Page was quickly noticed by people with intentions.

In just this little while, someone had already posted reviews on Magic Net videos. Commentators—in any era, any place—weren’t rare.

"Hiss, the Page gained 200,000 followers? How long has it been?"

"Terrifyingly powerful! But it’s definitely useful."

"Heard that if you just follow, then input where you live, they’ll send us tomorrow’s weather conditions on time every day. This is indeed a good service."

"That convenient? May I ask if there’s a fee?"

People naturally had a herd mentality. With this discussion, more and more people noticed this matter.

When they learned there was even a free weather forecast service, they couldn’t hold back anymore.

Right away, the Church of Agriculture’s follower count began to skyrocket.

This situation naturally also attracted the dragons’ attention.

Nidhogg the Dragon of Despair looked at the information displayed on his Magic Net, seeming to think of something. "What do you guys think—could we establish a dedicated Page? Dragon Bank’s Page could give users points. The more they save or the more active they are, we could give them some gifts."

"As for Dragon Delivery, we could provide door-to-door pickup service. As long as they order through the Page and are willing to pay us a certain fee, we can fly over to collect packages. We could even let them know where their package has arrived, updating once a day, letting them know their stuff isn’t lost. That’d also count as optimizing service."

If humans familiar with Nidhogg the Dragon of Despair heard these words, they’d definitely be shocked. The legendary Dragon of Despair who could destroy everything and had a violent personality was actually rationally analyzing and then proposing service-first concepts.

Never mind humans—even the dragons present all had strange expressions. But soon, they came to their senses.

This was about making money!

If at first they’d taken on these two businesses thinking they’d complete the God of Technology’s tasks and then solve the problem of seriously insufficient dragon numbers, then now they’d truly fallen in love with these two businesses.

Never mind anything else—their dragons’ gold coins had long been fully recovered. The gold coins circulating on the continent now were all the depositors’. Depositors saved money, they promised a certain interest rate, then lent it out at a higher interest rate.

A virtuous cycle had already begun. The interest earned far exceeded the interest promised to depositors.

Even if some bad debts existed, it wasn’t a big problem.

Moreover, they could directly eliminate big debtors who didn’t repay and sell their assets to make up the losses.

Operating like this, their bad debt numbers would definitely be very rare...

In the dragons’ eyes, these two businesses now were simply faster and easier than when they used to rob for money, and there was no danger.

Up to today, the goods they’d delivered and the gold they’d transported was definitely a very terrifying wealth. But they hadn’t encountered a single robbery situation. In fact, along the way, many people specifically provided them with services to make them more comfortable.

Honestly, they’d never felt that making money could be this easy.

With this situation backing them up, they were really enjoying themselves now. They figured improving service and letting more people enjoy their quality service was a good thing.

"Theoretically, it seems doable. The Page description has this functionality."

A silver dragon paused slightly, then nodded. "Actually, I think we might attract followers more easily than the Church of Agriculture. After all, every one of our customers will definitely follow us, right?"

"Compared to this, I think what we should really do now is, while launching the Page, we should also hold some events. Like depositing a certain amount of gold coins for a month rewards a certain amount of gold coins, etc."

"Through this method, we should be able to gather more gold."

The silver dragon’s words immediately got the agreement of many dragons. Previously, the event of giving away Magic Net rings just for registering had achieved huge success, making them eager to do it again and replicate the success.
