God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World

Chapter 215: Online Auctions?


Lava General wanted to see the last archbishop of the Church of the God of War successfully reformed, the Church of the God of War completely terminated.

Unfortunately, Clec chose not to surrender even until death.

That night, within human-controlled territories, the Church of the God of War completely disappeared. However, Lava General's mission hadn't ended. This shattered vast territory still had many problems he needed to handle.

And on the Magic Net, over the past few days, tons of videos about dragons had been popping up.

In the Gray Fort Empire, the Kingdom of Dawn, the Highland Kingdom, the Elven Kingdom, the City-State Alliance... so many nations, in a short time, people had captured videos of dragon sightings.

"Oh my god! How come the Kingdom of Dawn has them too?"

"Dragons are legendary creatures—maybe nobody's seen one for hundreds of years. Why are they suddenly appearing now?"

"I heard dragons really love gold. Are they gonna rob us?"

"If they wanted to, you'd already be seeing tons of ruins! So many dragons have appeared recently, but no place has reported any losses."

"Feels like they're searching for something. They're everywhere. Feels like they'll cover the whole continent soon!"

Watching the video posted online of a silver-white dragon appearing in the Dawn Kingdom's capital, the comment section instantly exploded.

If it were any other creature, no matter how rare, after appearing this many times on the Magic Net, people would definitely be tired of it by now. But with dragons, it seemed like no matter how many times they appeared, they could still spark discussion.

Just a few minutes after the video was posted, the comments below had already exceeded 1,000.

Suddenly, someone noticed—wasn't this silver-white dragon actually a frost dragon?

And an old Magic Net user at that—a frost dragon who frequently posted videos of its breath. Immediately, tons of people went to bombard that frost dragon's private messages.

"We're not looking for anything, and we definitely don't want to cause destruction. On the contrary, we want to establish our dragon race's commercial institutions in major cities across the continent—what the Kingdom of Dawn has been calling 'companies' lately."

The frost dragon didn't hide anything about these private messages. It directly revealed the dragon race's plans, only hiding information related to the God of Technology and Goddess of Magic.

After all, there was no need to hide this. On the contrary, these two companies needed greater visibility, needed everyone to know about them. That way, people would feel comfortable depositing and borrowing money, would feel comfortable entrusting them to transport treasures.

The frost dragon's response spread like wind across the entire Magic Net.

"I see, the dragon race wants to establish merchant guilds."

"? Somehow this feels even weirder!"

"Aren't dragons in legends supposed to be super powerful and violent? Don't they love burning entire castles with dragon breath? How are they starting companies now?"

"But these two companies sound kinda interesting. Dragon Delivery, Dragon Bank—one charges money to deliver goods anywhere on the continent, the other stores money that can be withdrawn anywhere on the continent. Seems like you can also borrow money from them. Feels like it really matches our Magic Net trading!"

"Actually, now it makes sense. Everyone knows dragons love gold and silver treasures. Now they've found a way to make money, so naturally they don't need to rob people anymore!"

Many people showed curiosity about these two companies the dragon race was about to establish, though some also saw opportunities in all this.

In a beautiful canyon on Dragon Island, Ren and the Goddess of Magic looked at the scenery before them, eating some pastries, chatting and laughing.

"These dragons are moving pretty fast. It's only been a few days and there are already dragons everywhere. I wonder if opening their shops is going smoothly?"

"They pulled in the castellan of the City of Gold. I think it should be fine. In this world, besides Roster, there's probably nobody better at business than that castellan."

The Goddess of Magic smiled and handed Ren a meat skewer, her expression relaxed. But Betty wasn't beside them.

They'd thrown Betty to their pet 'Totoro,' letting her enjoy super VIP life at the dragon Council of Elders. They'd pick her up when they went back. No way was she coming out to be a third wheel.

"Hope everything goes smoothly. Once they establish 'branches' in all the major cities, I'll add some ingredients to really get these two companies going." Ren's eyes rolled, seeming to have a new idea.

"What ingredients?" The Goddess of Magic was curious.

"Magic Net Auctions." Ren quickly explained his idea.

Internet auctions existed in his previous life too, but they'd always been lukewarm, kind of niche, nowhere near as popular as other types of internet platforms. But facing the current situation, internet auctions were actually a pretty good choice, and they matched perfectly with these two companies' businesses.

The Magic Net's main users right now were still magicians, nobles, clerics, and industry leaders. People in this class had a natural affinity for auctions.

In reality, auctions in various cities were basically supported by them. Establishing internet auctions, they'd understand it immediately, and as long as there was something they liked, they could definitely bid up high prices.

Besides, internet auctions had tons of benefits.

For example, originally auction houses covered at most nobles from a few surrounding cities, so the price increase was quite limited. But once it appeared on the Magic Net, the entire continent would be auctioning together. If someone liked something, the price would most likely skyrocket. This had huge appeal for item owners and auction customers alike. They'd have more choices. Plus the number of participants, the setting... all had certain advantages.

As for how to confirm whether bidders had money? Of course, by checking how much they'd deposited in Dragon Bank! After such high-priced auction items were sold, Dragon Delivery would naturally deliver them...

Even items sent for auction would need to be sent to Dragon Delivery in advance for the dragons to authenticate before adding them.

"So, what do you think? The feature I came up with is pretty good, right? Once it launches, it can directly provide massive reputation for these two companies." Ren talked at length, laying out all his ideas.

"Yeah, it really is good." The Goddess of Magic agreed strongly. "Besides that, there's actually another huge benefit.

"That is, you don't need to worry about being targeted. At some large auctions, especially supernatural being auctions, it often happens that right after someone wins an item and just leaves, they get ambushed by others. This kind of thing is super common. But if dragons are delivering the items, not many people would dare make a move."

Dragon delivery wasn't just fast—it could also serve as armed escort!

"But why not just directly open the live streaming sales and storefront sales you mentioned before? If you're just considering transportation costs, that's not something we should worry about—that's something merchants selling things should consider."

Ren paused. That actually seemed right. But just as he was about to say something, he seemed to sense something, then couldn't help his surprise. "Huh?! How come Love and Beauty is actually appearing on the Magic Net?"
