Cosmic Trading System

On the first day, the number of simultaneous online gamers was over two hundred million, and by the second day, it had crossed three hundred million.

Discounting those who had been constantly providing Lin Yun with spiritual energy, he gained an extra three thousand Spirit Crystals.

At this point, the overlap between those supplying Lin Yun's spiritual energy through two different methods began to increase.

After all, the places where Lin Yun had originally installed devices for professional absorption and refining of spiritual energy were mostly bustling cities. The residents there were usually well-off, and even without Lin Yun selling game helmets there, it wasn't hard for them to obtain one.

Knowing how much fun and benefit the Future Storm game offered, how could they be willing to miss out?

At this time, Lin Yun's robot business received a rather large order, bringing him a harvest of around one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals.

Lin Yun expanded the production line of the game helmet again, allowing the production of two hundred million game helmets a day. This production speed was still increasing because Lin Yun had already purchased two production line motherboards beforehand.

These were the production lines that could manufacture game helmet production lines, though the production speed was limited. Each time he significantly increased the production, he had to purchase additional game helmet production lines from the Cosmic Trading System.

The motherboards were expensive, so buying too many at once was not cost-effective. Lin Yun had purchased two motherboards previously with the intention to expand the business.

He had already received orders in the past two days, and to secure this customer, as well as to stimulate interest, Lin Yun sold them two game helmet production lines.

Through casual conversation, Lin Yun learned that the client also had a significant population and was just beginning to develop. Lin Yun already agreed that once his production of game helmets was nearly complete, he could sell a large amount of second-hand game helmet production lines to the client at a low price, and they had agreed.

As time passed, the pressure on the game servers increased.

The server, which could only accommodate one billion simultaneous online users, was soon close to its limit...

On the sixth day after the game's release, Lin Yun procured another server that could accommodate one hundred million online users. After merging in a levelthree spirit, it could accommodate two hundred million online users.

By now, Lin Yun was able to obtain over fifty-five thousand Spirit Crystals every day through all his devices.

On the seventh day of the game's launch, the first harvest of rare plants and herbs resulted in Lin Yun obtaining eighty thousand Spirit Crystals.

Having accumulated enough Spirit Crystals to buy a more advanced game server, Lin Yun promptly chose to purchase it.

After paying out two hundred fifty thousand Spirit Crystals, the new server was quickly delivered. Lin Yun merged it with a level-four spirit, promptly increasing the cap of absorption and refinement of spiritual energy from two billion users, thereby significantly easing the pressure on the servers.

A week later, the sale of the game helmets not only didn't drop but seemed to be under increasing pressure...

More and more people were benefiting from the game, attracting an increasing number of people to participate.

Some bosses of large companies even started to suspend production on a large scale, allowing their employees to sign new contracts to enter the game for various developments.

Now, the game helmet production line could produce two hundred twenty million helmets a day, but it was still insufficient for the demand.

Everything was advancing rapidly.

However, Lin Yun had to ponder over acquiring new spirits.

Currently, he only had one level-four spirit and eight level-three spirits, most of which were already in use. Obviously, this was not enough.

Lin Yun began to contact various countries. His current strength qualified him to directly negotiate with them.

It must be said, the official machinery is indeed the official machinery, especially the large countries, which have significant reserves.

After Lin Yun paid out some high-tech item knowledge, he easily obtained two level-four spirit-items, thirteen level-three spirit-items, dozens of level-two spirit-items, and a large number of level-one spirit-items from these countries.

Now, with the human population on Earth just shy of ten billion, these advanced spirit-items were enough for his use.

As for the high-tech item knowledge he had paid out...

Lin Yun had been keen on transmitting some high-tech item knowledge anyway, to accelerate the progress of Earth's scientific civilization. This point had already been implemented in the learning process of his employees.

Now, these nations' requests were perfectly aligned with his intentions.

He possessed the Cosmic Trading System and could easily obtain high-tech items from many civilizations. He wasn't afraid of how the progression of Earth's civilization might affect him in the future; his only fear was that the rate of progress of Earth's civilization was too slow.

Speaking of which, it is worth mentioning that the spiritual energy emanated by human beings on Earth, which Lin Yun used his devices to absorb and refine in large quantities...

It did not impede human growth; on the contrary, it promoted human growth.

The spiritual energy constantly radiated by humans was akin to spiritual waste. Just as humans eat food and produce feces, which are beneficial for the growth of various organisms but not conducive to human growth.

Such energy dispersed in the air interferes with human thought at all times, making human thinking gradually more cluttered and sluggish.

There's a saying that society is a big vat, and it indeed is. The more chaotic the environment a person lives in, the easier their thinking becomes numb.

Only some places where human thinking is purer, such as schools, the military, where most people's thoughts are consistent and the attributes of the spiritual energy they emit are relatively uniform, so the impact isn't significant and can even have a good influence.

There are also some places of worship, and so on.

Lin Yun's use of devices to absorb and refine this chaotic spiritual energy made the air seem fresher, promoting better growth for humans. Some people had already noticed this; when they were near Qingyun Company, their thinking became clearer, and their learning speed increased.

However, after Lin Yun deployed devices specialized in absorbing and refining spiritual energy all over the world, many people around the globe had such feelings, and some even thought they were imagining things.

One day... two days... three days...

The number of Spirit Crystals Lin Yun obtained every day was increasing. He no longer deliberately sold the game helmets to specific places. Initially, the devices for professional absorption and refinement of spiritual energy only covered around one billion people.

The number of game players had already exceeded one billion, and the world's population was close to ten billion.

Sooner or later, the number of game players would cover all of those initial people.

In Immortal Origin County, atop the tallest Qingyun Building, Lin Yun was practicing his martial skills over and over again.

At this moment, his martial arts realm was at a critical juncture.

Breaking through from the peak of his Dark Strength to the Huajin Realm...

Once the breakthrough was achieved, his martial arts would enter a new realm, and his strength would greatly increase.
