Immortality Starts From Making Money.-Chapter 186: First Social Media App -- Hi-Cloud.

The sun set at the horizon, and its golden hue cascaded over the Western Region. Workers were working very hard making tunnels.

At the borders, the Dust Valley Sect disciples were guarding the border with vigilance.

Although the Western Region was working in cohesion like an oiled engine, still, whispers flew back and forth, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation.

Slowly, time wisped by, and darkness descended over the region. Yet, the thick atmosphere was filled with anticipation.

Inside the tavern, tea house, and restaurant, people sat in two and three discussions about the most anticipated event of the day.

"Young Master, thank you for coming to spend the hour with us," a beautiful girl said, staring at the handsome boy with a seductive smile.

The Young Master wore a proud smile. "It’s nothing. It’s boring at home anyway."

Looking at the Young Master, the girls around him exchanged subtle glances, and one of them asked in a low voice,

"Young Master, can we see your Platinum Grade Spirit Link?"

The Young Master had a haughty smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He grinned inwardly. This was the reason he agreed to spend the night with the girls.

He was to show and brag about his clan’s wealth while also hoping to snag one or two girls to spend the night with him.

He stared at the girl without speaking for a moment before he asked, "Why should I?" He smacked his lips.

The girls were not surprised by his question, and one of them moved closer to him. Her moderate-sized chest rubbed gently against him.

Feeling the softness, a lecherous grin appeared on his face, and he wrapped his hand around her waist. He drew her closer to his body and squeezed her buttock gently.

A faint moan escaped from her lips, but her friends did not seem to care. Their gaze was on the Young Master.

"Since you’re sincere about seeing my Platinum Grade Spirit Link, of course, I’ll show you." He grinned and took out the Platinum Grade Spirit Link.

When the girls saw the sleek design and the smooth screen that reflected their faces, their breath quickened.

This is it?! The Platinum Grade Spirit Link.

Although it had been over three months since the Platinum Grade Spirit Link had been on sale, its high price made it impossible for ordinary people to buy it.

Even the wealthy clans were reluctant to spend such a huge amount on a communication artifact when the Gold Grade could serve the same function.

Yet, it became a symbol of status in the Western Region. Unlike the Gold Grade Spirit that depended on spiritual energy and voice activation to function,

The novel interface of the Platinum Grade Spirit Link brought another experience that couldn’t be described with mere words.

And now, a major update was going to be released, and only those with Platinum Grade Spirit Link and Noble Grade Spirit Link could receive the update.

Although the content of the major update was unknown, many had speculated that it would be a big thing that would change their region.

Thus, how could they miss such an important event?

"Young Master, can I touch it?" one of the girls asked impatiently.

"Shut up! Do you think I’ll allow you to touch such an expensive artifact?" the Young Master snapped.

Quickly, one of the girls intervened before it spiraled out of control.

"Young Master, you don’t need to mind her. She was delusional. Just staring at it is enough for us."

He scoffed but did not return the Spirit Link to his pouch. He held the Platinum Grade Spirit Link and showed off.

Instantly, his table was surrounded by many people who wanted to see the Spirit Link.

This type of scene could be seen in every corner of the Western Region.

That night, those with Platinum Grade Spirit Link became overnight celebrities.

Inside the Dust Valley Sect, male core disciples that had the Platinum Grade Spirit Link were surrounded by their friends and many female disciples.

Even lone old dogs found many inner court disciples at their doorsteps.

The elders were also gathered in two and there, discussing about the incoming update.

Slowly, it was only a few minutes before 9 PM.

For a moment, the Western Region seemed to quiet down, giving an illusion that something major was about to happen.

In every gathering, clans and the Dust Valley Sect, all eyes were on the clock.

Ting!

Finally, it was 9 PM.

Before anyone could react, the Platinum Grade and Noble Grade Spirit Link changed, and notification appeared on their screens.

’Please hold on... the update is downloading.’

After a few seconds, the notification changed.

’Congratulations! The Hi-Cloud App and Hi-Cloud Messenger have been installed on your Spirit Link.’

The screen changed, and two dark bluish icons appeared on their screen.

Watching the changes, the people were stunned.

Their anticipation twisted into confusion before it turned into disappointment.

Many had hoped it would be something that would change the Western Region.

Perhaps, it contained opportunities that would change their lives.

Many even went as far as to borrow money just to buy the Platinum Grade Spirit Link.

And yet, the result was disappointing.

While many were disappointed, they still opened the Hi-Cloud App to see what it was all about.

Slowly, they began to unravel the function of the Hi-Cloud App.

The app would allow them to share their pictures, find friends—friends that were not even in their cities.

Also, the Hi-Messenger could allow them to chat with their friends.

In less than five minutes, the Hi-Cloud home page had changed from the introductory message to user feeds.

The first person to appear was Zhao Tian and posted a picture.

In the picture, everyone could see his fat and chubby face as he sat behind a wooden table.

Beneath the image was a caption: ’You’ve all probably heard of my name. I’m Zhao Tian, the grandson of the Dust Valley Sect Supreme Elder. Add me as friends and we can discuss Dao together.’

On the wooden table were tens of Platinum Grade Spirit Link.

Just the presence of the tens of Platinum Grade Spirit Link changed everything.

With Zhao Tian taking the lead, user posts appeared one after the other, flocking the feed.

Before anyone could realize what was going on, they were locked on their Spirit Link reading the various feeds.

And just like that, the Western Region was introduced to social media.
