Chapter 749: The Kingdom's Growing Influence
The Holy Light Church suddenly loosened its policy resistance to the Dream Realm, which was not too unexpected for Jiang Yan.
This is because the influence of the upcoming 'Dream World Auction' in Dream Land has been hyped too much. Not to mention, almost every densely populated city in the Western Continent, which is dominated by empires, has officially opened special shops in the Dream Realm, and for a few months, these shops sell special goods unique to the Dream Realm, such as 'low-quality marrow crystals', 'spell engravings', 'data programs', 'elf sales', 'high-quality elixirs', and 'magic crystals', or high-quality goods that are obviously superior to other similar products in the market.
These store industries that belong to the dream country did not have a unified brand at first, but later some good people named it "dream store", because it is easy to understand, and gradually it has directly become an officially recognized brand name.
With 'marrow crystal' as the core material', the 'spell engraving', and the 'data program', and 'the adult elf who can directly make a contract without cultivating and taming', these three are the exclusive advantages of the dream store, even if others want to copy it, they can't do it, but the profits of these three goods are extremely high, and they are the most favored by customers, even if the dream store prices it high, there will always be a large number of local tyrants willing to pay.
While they have made a lot of profits for the Dream Country, they have also accumulated a good reputation and potential influence in the local area where the store is located.
Dream shops are so lucrative that there are certainly people who are jealous of them, but really sane people basically don't really sell these dream shops.
On the one hand, it is because the Dream Realm has already gained prestige, and it has an alliance with the Empire and the Dragon Domain, and it also has a strong person like the Dream Lord who has mastered the power of the supernatural, as well as more and more Legendary Realm powerhouses who have grown up or recruited from the outside, so that outsiders clearly know that they are not easy to mess with at all.
On the other hand, it is also related to the store business model of Dream Country's own store. Since the establishment of advanced intelligent brains that can carry out "data transformation", the transportation of many important materials in the Dream Country has abandoned the traditional transportation methods, and directly adopted the 'data transmission' with a very reliable safety factor.
The physical goods in the dream store, as long as they are more precious, will not be directly stored in the inventory of the store itself, and the large amount of transaction pick-up and daily supply replenishment are directly achieved by 'data transmission'.
Therefore, even if someone really dares to make a move on these fantasy stores set up in various countries in the fantasy country, the harvest they can get in the end will not be high, because those goods with the most precious real value will not be stored in these fantasy stores at all.
And the key thing is that even if they succeed in a short period of time, such fanatics will be targeted by the terrifying and pervasive intelligence network of the Dream Realm, and it will be extremely difficult to get away with it. These 'thieves' are often caught and caught not long after they do it.
What's even more speechless is that although there are not enough legendary realm masters in these fantasy stores opened in various places in the fantasy country because of the large number, they have mastered a kind of distance that can directly teleport their own legendary realm masters to the places where they need reinforcements in an instant, and they are not limited by the spatial distance at all, and there will be no problem beyond the reach of the whip.
For those who try to use informal means to snatch the benefits of the fantasy store, the reward is too low, and it will also lead to their own hostility to the fantasy country, and the cost performance of doing it is too low.
At the beginning, after a few unlucky people set an example, the world fully knew how difficult these dream shops were, and through these side information, they learned how strong the force value of the newly established forces of the dream country was.
With the support of powerful countries, the status of these fantasy shops will naturally rise, and the fantasy countries can also manage their diplomatic influence to other countries outside the territory of the kingdom through them.
In a sense, this can be regarded as the invasion of the dream country on the economic level of various countries.
Think about it, because of the product advantages of the dream store, when the people in these countries want to consume, the first choice that comes to mind is the dream store, and in the long run, the market for certain commodities in some commercial aspects can only be the dream store.
The rulers of various countries are not blind to the negative impact of these dream shops on their own industries, but they do not have a good way to deal with it.
They can forcibly use the power of the landlord to boycott and ban the dream store, and refuse to operate the property on their own territory. But in doing so, it is they themselves who suffer first.
After all, not to mention the rest, the special products of the Dream Country, such as 'Data Program', 'Elf Sales', and 'Spell Engraving', are all good things that can directly improve the buyer's own strength.
If countries want to actively resist this, unless all countries are colluding in this matter, anyone who accepts the deal with the Dream Nation will reap the huge benefits from it, and thus gradually lead the other countries that choose to reject the Dream Nation.
And now, obviously, the Duragon Empire, which was the first to come into contact with the Dreamland and form an alliance with it, has become the first to eat crabs.
With the empire taking the lead, it is naturally impossible for other countries to be willing to lag behind, and their joint boycott measures will naturally not be carried out.
And when the countries on this side of the Western Continent began to enjoy the benefits brought by the commercial passage with the Dream Country, how could the forces of other regions stay out of the matter and watch them monopolize the benefits?
As a result, the Dream Nation took the opportunity to open all kinds of large and small branches of its own Dream Store to almost all countries in the main material continent of the Spirit Seed World.
But in between, there is only one place missing out on the branch node of the Dream Store, and that is the Eastern Continent where the Church is located. Because of the previous contradictions between the two sides, the Eastern Continent led by the Church is very resolute in resisting the Dream Country.
And as the overlord power that recluses itself in the top of the continent, the Church Nation with the support of Heaven does not care about the benefits that other countries can obtain by trading with the Dream Country.
However, after the news of the Dream Nation that it was going to hold a 'Dream World Auction' for the whole world, the news also spread rapidly throughout the country through the influence of the Dream Shop branches in various countries and the intelligence of the sub-computer network.
Forcefully elevated this auction to a level that affected almost the entire Lingzi world.
According to the news released by the Dream Country, the 'Dream World Auction' will be held directly in the dream realm built by the Dream Lord and his family, as long as you log in to the Dream World through the 'Dream World Platform' provided by the Dream Country, then no matter where you are in reality at the time, you can directly participate in this auction in the form of spiritual dreams.
Even those who are cautious and do not want to go directly to the dream can participate in the auction by purchasing a communication tool equipped with the "Soul Crystal" from the branches of the dream shops all over the country, and then using the external projection function of the communicator to indirectly browse the information of the dream world in a very safe way.
Of course, if you choose to use communication tools to browse Mengshi information, the experience is like using Jiang Yan's VR-style online game technology in his previous life, and it is impossible to have an immersive viewing service. However, the advantage is that it is safe and easier to trust.
The Dream Shop will be able to sell communication tools from external links to the "Dream World Platform", and the price is actually not high, only 10 silver coins are required, which is roughly equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary commoner at market price, as long as anyone with a little savings can afford it.
But you know, the function of this communicator is very powerful, and there is almost no difference between smart phones in the modern technology world, and even because of the ability of virtual projection, and very perfect intelligent operation assistance, if you want to compare specifically, the function of this communicator is actually far beyond the so-called smart phone.
Not much else, just the communication function that basically does not have any distance limitation and signal delay is completely worthy of the price of this communicator. To be precise, in the eyes of many customers who have bought it, the price of this thing is even 'sold cheaply' compared to the actual value of its function.
The modern spirit guide technology of the spirit child world has just passed the embryonic period, although many excellent spirit guide science and technology achievements have been developed, but most of these technical achievements are used in the military industry, and civilian spirit guide technology is only some relatively primitive transportation-type spirit guide vehicles, such as spirit guide cars (including trains).
And civil communications?
I'm sorry, but because of the immaturity of technology, before the birth of the Dream Country, even the Duragon Empire could only use expensive Lingbo communicators for some wealthy families, and it could only achieve communication effects in the same town.
The means of communication at the cross-city level can only be limited to the military, and the effect is not too good, there are certain restrictions on distance, and it is necessary to rely on intermittent and delayed relay stations to achieve nationwide message transmission.
As for transnational level communications, not to mention, it is impossible to do it at all, and the requirement of laying a Lingbo relay base station alone cannot be met for the time being, not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of technology, and it is impossible for the people in power of various countries to allow outsiders of other forces to build Lingbo signal base stations that do not belong to them in their own territory without authorization.
In the past, the transnational level communication and exchange of various countries often required the use of traditional transcendent realm communication spells to achieve.
As for the media and news and entertainment, it is even more common only in the form of newspapers and miscellaneous books.
If we follow the current speed of development of the spirit guide technology in the Spirit Child World, give them another hundred years...... No, it may only take thirty or fifty years for them to develop the psychic communication technology to the point where it is sufficient to meet the initial civilian needs.
But now, after the Dream Nation has opened branches of the Dream Store in various countries, the communicators it sells have greatly advanced this progress, and greatly refreshed the understanding of the concept of 'communication' among the middle and lower classes of the people in the Lingzi World.
Compared with the past when most of the civil communication had to rely on letter writing and a few wealthy people could borrow military communication channels to a limited extent, the value of these communicators provided by the Dream Store was enough to surprise the grassroots civilians in the Lingzi world.
Especially after comparing the cheap price of this communicator, they felt a sense of surprise even more, and thus unconsciously deepened their recognition and yearning for the dream country in their hearts.
Some people with big brains even think that it will be too much of a loss for Dream Country to sell this thing so cheaply.
However, in fact, the Dream Realm sells these communicators, and it really doesn't lose at all, because the manufacturing cost of this communicator only requires a low-grade spirit crystal with a level 0 wisdom brain + the cost of some shell packaging, and the cost is not even 5 silver coins.
The most valuable level 0 brain in it is enough to extract an adult chicken or mouse to create it. Of course, this kind of level 0 brain is cheaper than the level 0 brain made with souls such as lion tigers and eagles, and the functions are inferior, for example, the effect of virtual projection will be relatively poor.
But if it only meets the needs of basic customers for the use of the Nexus communicator, even the lowest-level communicator is completely sufficient. Those Soul Communicators made with slightly more powerful Level 0 Wisdom Brains are naturally more expensive than the lowest-level communicators sold in the Dream Store, and they are at least dozens of times more expensive than the former, which are specially prepared for wealthy guests.
In fact, the latter costs only five to ten times more than the former. But what's interesting is that the more expensive you sell a high-end communicator, the more wealthy customers will eat it.
Because this will give them an extra sense of superiority over grassroots civilians when they use advanced communicators.
The advent of the communicator has dramatically increased the influence of the fantasy country among civilians in various countries. Later, some additional commercial functions based on communicators, or 'dream world platforms' based on communicator links, launched by Dream Country, made this influence begin to skyrocket.
The functions of the low-level points include online shopping and express delivery, which Jiang Yan has already done very well; the functions of the high-level points, such as virtual audio-visual theaters realized through virtual projection; and even, Jiang Yan has synthesized the vision of the scientific and technological society in his previous life, and has drummed up a lot of things similar to 'video games' and 'online games', and put them on the additional entertainment functions of the Mengshi platform.
With the innate ability of the brains of soul data to make data information, as long as they are given inspirational design, they can easily complete the production of such 'games' and the construction of servers.
In fact, Mengshi itself can be regarded as a high-end virtual online game with an incomparably large amount of data.
And when the civilians of the Lingzi world adapt to these novel entertainment methods, the more advanced functions that are combined by the Lingshu communicator + the dream world platform will require them to directly log in to the dream world with their spiritual power to experience it in person.
The launch of these additional functions not only greatly increased the influence of a wave of dream countries, but also made more people unable to resist the temptation to start trying the real functions of the 'dream world', such as realistic dream play, dream learning, dream combat training, etc......
Then, they will begin to recharge more or less 'real data' resources into Mengshi to support the consumption of Mengshi's functions.
Naturally, the resources contributed by a single person are very small, but you must know that as more and more civilians begin to try to enjoy the convenience of the dream world, this 'little' will be multiplied by hundreds of thousands or even millions to reach the point of 'massive'.
These are the tangible benefits of the Dream Country.
In addition, the greatest gain is the growing influence, and the 'Dream World Auction' that the kingdom is planning to hold now is based on this influence to reflect the grand occasion that surprises everyone.
Just imagine, the 'Dream World Auction' is open to almost the entire Lingzi World, in addition to the auction items taken out by the Dream Country, it also invites almost the entire Lingzi World to participate in all those who are interested in auctioning things, and through the platform of the Dream World, this auction really has the ability to cover the entire Lingzi World......
Wouldn't it be a pity not to participate in such a grand occasion?
The reason why the Church of Light suddenly changed its attitude at such a time was because they were also interested in this 'Dream World Auction'.
Of course, ordinary auction items are not so easy to arouse their interest, and the reason why the Holy Light Church is relieved, or the reason why the Heaven behind them specially issued an oracle for this, is actually because the Dream Nation then released some fierce materials specifically to attract the participation of major forces for the 'Dream World Auction'.

ps: The new keyboard is in hand, and the first test feels good, but it's still a little unaccustomed for the time being...
Let's add 800 words in this chapter, so I took some more time to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
