After sending away all those agriculture and animal husbandry-related gods, the Goddess of Magic finally couldn't hold back her curiosity: "Do you think they can actually do it? For tens of thousands of years, the food of mortal creatures has never seemed to change."

She'd seen the plan Ren had written—hybridization, selective breeding, grafting... It sounded somewhat incredible, but some alchemists had indeed done it. But having these agriculture-related gods solidify it into a species was much more difficult. Especially since Ren wanted to multiply crop yields several times over—the difficulty went without saying.

Originally, she thought that after seeing Ren's technical plan, these agriculture-related gods would offer some constructive suggestions, which would naturally further increase the success rate. But what she saw wasn't like that at all.

"I'm quite confident actually." Ren smiled brightly. "The divine authorities they possess are much more powerful than I imagined. Maybe in a few days, gods will come knocking, asking if they can send their results to the mortal realm for testing, if they can promote them through the network."

As his knowledge grew, Ren couldn't help suspecting that technological development in this world might be much faster than Earth in his past life—countless times faster.

Ubiquitous magical energy, runic science that was comparable to an accelerator in every field, the large number of magic conductors he'd already mastered that achieved better effects than his past life—future developments would probably shock even him, the God of Technology.

Just as Ren was chatting with the Goddess of Magic and other gods were getting busy, in Roster territory at the World Economic News Agency, Swindler Megan had gathered all her recently cultivated trusted subordinates.

"I think Magic Net videos will be both an opportunity and a challenge for our World Economic News Agency." Swindler Megan cleared her throat. "Videos can present what's happening in various places more directly and perfectly than text—more persuasive than words, more authentic than pictures. We must quickly get our journalists to master these skills. Otherwise, if others delete us, the reputation we've worked so hard to build as the world's number one news 'company' might get snatched away. For us, that would be a fatal blow."

After this recent period of operation and management, Swindler Megan had gained some experience running the news agency. Even her perspective on problems was starting to change. Many things she'd never thought of before were now appearing in her vision. The emergence of this "video" feature was a typical example.

Actually, from the moment she saw the first video, she knew this would become powerful medicine for the World Economic News Agency. If successful, they'd completely control the largest share of public opinion in the world. But if they failed, the challenge to their credibility would be significant. Those news agencies imitating them would see an opportunity and could deal them a fatal blow.

Before her subordinates could voice their opinions, Swindler Megan continued: "But if we start using video as one of our news media, we'll face several challenges. First, will the journalists we send out be able to return safely? Right now they observe and record everything, then write it as text—this model is undoubtedly very easy for hiding themselves. But once they start filming videos, there's a high probability they'll expose themselves."

"Second, we need to hire a group of people to process this video material, ensuring we convey the core of the news. A brand new medium means we must explore a new model that audiences won't get tired of but will want to watch frequently."

Those around her nodded in agreement. Indeed, these two points were the most difficult—journalist safety and exploring new models.

As the first profession to fully embrace the Magic Net, they'd been studying changes to the Magic Net. Recently, they'd spent most of their time immersed in Magic Net videos. They understood that text and video were fundamentally different in expression. Text just needed to precisely transmit information through logic and language, but video also needed to combine images, sound, movement, timing control, and much more information for comprehensive expression. For scholars, this was obviously very difficult, but not a single person suggested delaying this.

Through recent observation, they'd already confirmed that people who created content in a certain genre earliest were more likely to get promoted, be seen by more people, and have their authority more easily trusted.

"Boss, for such a big thing, shouldn't we consult Rost..."

A guy dressed like a scholar, after weighing things, was just about to suggest that Swindler Megan ask Viscount Roster's opinion. First, Viscount Roster never failed in business. Second, even if they failed, it would be Viscount Roster's problem. If it were anyone else, hearing these reasons might be acceptable, but not for Swindler Megan.

Swindler Megan knew that Viscount Roster had been testing her all along. Now, it was probably at the most crucial juncture. Viscount Roster was currently far away in the Southern territory. If she couldn't handle even this, she'd probably lose everything she had now. But if she handled it well, then the World Economic News Agency would completely become her managed enterprise.

Several people who'd been brought back by Viscount Roster around the same time as her seemed to understand Swindler Megan's situation. Before the scholar could finish, one directly covered his voice with a voice pitched an octave higher: "Boss, I think the first problem isn't something we should worry about at all! Everyone was already living that kind of life before, right? Now it's actually easier. As for the second point, we don't know how, but we can find people who do."

Magic Net videos had been released for several days now. Though some users without self-charging magic arrays and Magic Power Network couldn't use it, the vast majority of users obviously weren't in that group. Basically, you could say eighty to ninety percent of users were already using the feature, which naturally filtered out some relatively successful videos and prominent creators. They either started because of divine mandate or because they wanted to share something, but without exception, if something went viral, there was definitely a reason.

They could look for the better points in these videos. They could even directly invite these video workers to join their World Economic News Agency. That way, the problem would naturally be solved.

Hearing this guy's crude plan, quite a few people frowned, but then realized that actually, this really was the most suitable plan. They could completely use this approach to quickly build their video news team.

After settling this matter, Swindler Megan was just about to adjourn when someone spoke up: "Boss, I have another idea! We could make videos of the most important news collected today or yesterday at a fixed time each day and publish them. The remaining news could be published sporadically. This way, maybe users will form a habit—when that time comes each day, they'll click on our account!"
