God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 417: This Feature Is Really Great

At first, people were a bit confused, but they quickly realized just how useful the Shopping Mall was.

Especially since you could link directly to influencers’ storefronts on the Shopping Mall—this meant that as soon as it opened, there were already tons of shops.

Just by searching a few keywords, people discovered how powerful this thing really was.

Right away, in the Magic Space and elsewhere, everyone started talking about it like crazy.

At first, we were all pretty confused about why this new feature suddenly showed up, and a lot of people were questioning it.

But the tide turned super fast.

"Can’t you guys just try using it before you start complaining?"

"This feature is absolutely amazing."

"It really blows my expectations out of the water."

"This is insane, so incredible!"

"After just one search, I realized how many times I’d been ripped off before."

"Turns out the same item gets sold at different prices by different merchants. Now it’s great—just search and you can see what everyone else is charging."

"All those scammy merchants and shady influencers have nowhere to hide anymore."

"At first I didn’t get it, but after one search I realized how powerful this is."

"I never imagined it could work like this! Buying stuff is gonna be so much easier now."

"I think this is actually good for us merchants too. Those early sellers who’ve been selling online forever have way too many followers. Most people just go straight to them to buy stuff. Those of us who came later are totally at a disadvantage. Even if our costs are lower and we charge less, there’s no way to compete with them. But now things are completely different."

"Right? An item that costs three silver coins from the manufacturer, and some people have the nerve to charge over ten silver coins for it. Sure, there are added costs like shipping and storage, but that’s just ridiculous. Now with this platform, people can quickly find out who’s selling cheaper."

"The God of Technology really knows how to hit the nail on the head."

"Are you guys only paying attention to the first feature? Don’t you think the other features are even more impressive?"

"I never thought you could do it this way. It’s really innovative."

"I told you the stock exchange and bond exchange were connected to the God of Technology, right? This futures market definitely is too!"

"..."

The appearance of the Shopping Mall blew so many people’s minds. Countless people got incredibly excited.

Nobody’s money grows on trees, and being able to compare prices and find cheaper stuff matters to pretty much everyone.

Even people who aren’t hurting for cash feel terrible when they find out they’ve been ripped off! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

You could say the Shopping Mall’s arrival completely changed the whole online shopping landscape.

In fact, you could say the Shopping Mall’s features affected pretty much everyone on the Magic Net.

Naturally, most people’s attention was focused here.

However, while everyone was zeroing in on this, a small group suddenly became really interested in the other two features and gave them high praise.

Seeing their comments, many others finally turned their attention to the remaining two features.

The Bulk Trading feature was pretty special—the minimum order quantity was 10 items, but you could order 100, 1,000, or even customize it with any number above four. You could even enter 10,000, 100,000, or 1,000,000—all of it was possible.

Right now though, there were only a few test products listed, all priced at zero.

This was probably so everyone could use these test products to get familiar with how it worked.

After all, no manufacturers had actually listed anything yet.

Even so, people could see how powerful this feature was.

Actually, this feature really was as simple as the description said—it let manufacturers who weren’t good at sales list their products directly on the platform, while merchants who were good at sales could find cheaper sources here.

Why set a minimum of ten items? Obviously to keep regular people from using it—after all, who buys ten of the same thing at once?

Sure, some people would find loopholes, but whatever. As long as most people followed the rules, it was fine.

Merchants could use this feature to find cheap sources, and manufacturers could sell what they produced through this channel.

Before, connecting these two groups was super difficult. It might require traveling really far to do inspections, or you might not find what you needed at all.

Even harder was that merchants looking for the right suppliers might need to check out several manufacturers. You can imagine how tough that was.

But now things had clearly changed.

You could handle everything right here.

Of course, that was just the surface. Many people quickly realized the deeper issue: as the magic-tech industry progressed, there would be more and more manufacturers. Workshops and factories were being built everywhere, so products were getting more and more varied and harder to sell.

Merchants were also having a harder time finding the right sources.

This feature completely changed that situation.

Besides that, don’t forget about another huge group—the massive number of influencers and live streaming sellers.

Compared to regular merchants, these influencers and livestreamers had an even harder time finding the right sources.

The big influencers and livestreamers often had huge product selection teams, but smaller ones couldn’t support such big teams, so they just had to sell whatever they could find.

This naturally meant their products weren’t as good, and their costs weren’t controllable either.

But this feature completely changed that.

They could all find the perfect sources through this feature. Some people could even sign contracts directly with manufacturers—they’d handle sales on Magic Net videos, and after making a sale, the manufacturer would handle shipping.

Cutting out that middle step would obviously save a ton of money, and some of that money would definitely go to the manufacturers.

With more funds, manufacturers would have more motivation to expand or invest in research.

This feature basically transformed the entire business environment.

Right now the whole Magic Net was buzzing, and people couldn’t stop talking about it.

However, most of the nobility, the churches that had already adapted, and some major institutions were now focusing their attention on the third feature.

For these people with bigger funds and more powerful forces, the best way to make money was through financial investments.

The stock exchange and bond exchange were all great places for them to rake in huge profits.

This time, the God of Technology and the dragons establishing a futures market gave them new hope.

They needed to work harder to understand what exactly futures were.
