The Sacred Land Is Going Bankrupt, I Invented a Mobile Phone!

Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Great Mystery’s Delight! Immortal World Taobao!

In the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, the elders could sense the situation of Immortal Net Delivery through the backend data.

However, on Immortal Net Weibo, a trending topic “Worrying about Immortal Net Delivery Closing Down” appeared at the end of the hot searches, catching the attention of many cultivators.

Worrying about Immortal Net Delivery closing down?

Seeing this topic, many cultivators found it amusing.

Immortal Net Delivery had been praised for its convenience since its launch.

With such a popular service, how could it possibly close down?

Who was being overly anxious?

Nonetheless, they clicked on it and glanced through.

It was a post by a Qi Refining Realm cultivator named Wang Lin.

“It’s been five days, and there’s still only one or two deliveries to make each day. The rest of the time, I’m just idle. Although it’s nice to have some free time, seeing Immortal Net Delivery not doing any business makes me worried. If Immortal Net Delivery can’t earn any spirit stones, what will happen if it closes down?”

Seeing this post, many cultivators’ immediate reaction was disbelief.

Immortal Net Delivery was so popular, with countless discussions online.

It was almost being praised to the heavens.

How could it not be doing any business?

So, some immediately commented below the post: “Perhaps your area is remote and has few people, so there aren’t many delivery orders.”

Most cultivators also shared this view.

It was normal for there to be fewer deliveries in more remote areas.

However, soon, a series of replies followed:

“I’m in an area like White Emperor City, not remote at all. But the busiest day for pickups was the day Immortal Net Delivery launched. After that, it decreased day by day. Now, there might not even be one or two orders a day.”

“I’m a courier in Great Seal City, and it’s the same. There are very few senders and recipients!”

“I’m a courier in Xuejing City, and for five days, I’ve only made eight deliveries and received six. I’ve heard from the sorters that they’re also particularly idle. Xuejing City doesn’t even have ten thousand deliveries a day, and they can’t even make back the teleportation fees.”

“This situation is worrying. Being a courier with such generous benefits is unmatched anywhere else in Great Yan Province.”

“Yeah, if Immortal Net Delivery closes, where am I, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, going to find such a good job again?”

Numerous couriers saw this post and flooded the comments section with their worries, expressing their fears about Immortal Net Delivery possibly closing down.

Seeing these comments, all the cultivators were puzzled.

One person saying business was slow could be attributed to a lack of people in the area.

However, so many couriers saying Immortal Net Delivery had no business, especially in the most populous immortal cities, could only mean that it was true.

But how was that possible when Immortal Net Delivery was so popular and highly discussed?

“This doesn’t make sense. Isn’t everyone praising Immortal Net Delivery? What’s going on? Are they all lying?”

“I’ve used it! But only once because I only send things to my parents once a year. I don’t need to send anything the rest of the time.”

“I’ve only used it once too. After all, there isn’t something to send every day!”

“You’re not lying. Immortal Net Delivery does seem convenient, but I haven’t needed to send anything, so I haven’t used it.”

“Come to think of it, my friends around me haven’t sent anything either.”

“Reading everyone’s comments, I understand now. Immortal Net Delivery is indeed good, but the problem is, there might not be enough demand for it!”

“Immortal Net Delivery is so popular, I really didn’t expect it to lose money. What if it really closes down?”

“I don’t want Immortal Net Delivery to close. If it does, my dad will have to cross hundreds of thousands of miles every year to deliver resources to me. It’s too risky.”

“I also don’t want Immortal Net Delivery to close. If it does, where will I find someone reliable to deliver things in the future? Those unreliable merchant caravans?”

Amidst the countless replies and concerns from netizens, the topic “Worrying about Immortal Net Delivery closing down” quickly rose to the top of the hot searches.

Most people hadn’t expected that Immortal Net Delivery, seemingly bustling and highly praised, was actually losing money.

No one wanted Immortal Net Delivery to close down. As long as Immortal Net Delivery existed, they had a choice when they needed to send something.

Without Immortal Net Delivery, they wouldn’t be able to find anyone to deliver their items.

And the three million couriers in Great Yan Province were the least hopeful of Immortal Net Delivery closing down.

With a monthly salary of ten low-grade spirit stones and four days off, it was undoubtedly the best job they had ever experienced.

If Immortal Net Delivery closed, where else could they find such a generous job?

The news of Immortal Net Delivery’s losses soon reached the ears of the top brass of various major powers through Immortal Net Weibo.

They were all astonished.

Immortal Net Delivery was so popular that they had always assumed Heavenly Origin Sacred Land was making a fortune.

They were envious.

Who could have thought that Immortal Net Delivery was acclaimed but not profitable?

Many were shocked by this revelation.

The Saint Master of Great Mystery Sacred Land, who had been gloomy since his account was banned and fined a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones last time, suddenly showed a hint of joy. “So, Immortal Net Delivery is actually losing money?”

If this was true, it would be the best news he had heard all year.

The Penalty Elder nodded seriously. “Indeed, they’re losing money. It’s trending number one, and the Saint Master can see for yourself.”

Ever since his account was banned, the Saint Master of Great Mystery Sacred Land hadn’t been on Weibo, finding it embarrassing.

But now, he immediately accessed Immortal Net Weibo.

After reading the top trending post, a broader smile spread across his face.

Leaning toward the Penalty Elder, he said, “Excellent. I finally caught up with Ye Chen, who has been arrogant since he succeeded through underhanded means and thought he was unbeatable.”

The elders all nodded in agreement.

They had the same thought.

Investing three million high-grade spirit stones in setting up Immortal Net Delivery was indeed overly ambitious.

“Next, let’s look forward to when Immortal Net Delivery will close down.

“When recruiting people, Ye Chen made grand promises, saying one could earn over a thousand spirit stones a month. But now, it’s not even enough to sustain a month.

“I’m in a great mood. Elders, come to my immortal mansion. I’ll treat you to five-hundred-year-old Monkey Spirit Wine to celebrate!”

The Saint Master of Great Mystery Sacred Land laughed heartily.

He only had two jars of five-hundred-year-old Monkey Spirit Wine left, which he rarely drank. But the thought of Ye Chen’s loss made him happier than earning money himself.

Moreover, Ye Chen lost a whopping three million high-grade spirit stones, more than he had lost himself.

This made him even happier.

“Cheers! Pour me a glass…”

In the vast cultivator world of Great Yan Province, the news of Immortal Net Weibo’s losses intensified.

Meanwhile, in the forbidden area of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, Ye Chen stretched lazily, a smile playing on his lips.

“The online shopping app is finally ready!

“What should I call it?

“Immortal World Taobao?

“Immortal Net Shopping?”

Ye Chen pondered with interest as he flew out of the forbidden area.

Along the way, he turned off the closed-door mode of his Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator.

He had just wanted to contact the Foreign Affairs Elder when he saw a long string of missed call reminders and messages, all from the Foreign Affairs Elder.

With a moment’s thought, Ye Chen understood why the Foreign Affairs Elder was so anxious.

He couldn’t help but smile.

As he stepped out of the forbidden area, he saw the Foreign Affairs Elder waiting outside.

Seeing Ye Chen, the Elder’s eyes lit up, and he hurried over, eager to report something.

However, Ye Chen waved his hand, stopping the Elder from speaking.

“Summon all the elders to the Saint Master’s Hall for a meeting!”

The Foreign Affairs Elder was taken aback and swallowed his words.

He immediately used the Heavenly Origin Communicator to inform all the elders.

The Saint Master had finally emerged from seclusion.

Without the Saint Master present, they had no idea how to deal with Immortal Net Delivery’s losses. Should they close it down to cut their losses, or raise the delivery prices to see if they could reduce the losses?

The elders had been debating endlessly.

Now that the Saint Master had emerged, they could finally settle on a solution.

Beams of light shot out from various peaks of the Sacred Land. Before Ye Chen could even settle in his seat in the Saint Master’s Hall, all the Nascent Soul elders of the Sacred Land had gathered.

This scene brought a smile to Ye Chen’s face.

It seemed that the elders were genuinely worried.
