Chapter 25: Red Stove and Snow as Night LightInside the Tianan underground palace, Gu Yunli sat cross-legged, his aura ethereal and light, as quiet as still water, as solemn as a gentle breeze, as if he was a Taoist priest walking out of a painting. The smoke of incense rising from his body was like a thread, lingering around him, adding to his sense of detachment from the world. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his chest puffed out, and he exhaled lightly. "call--" The breath was as sharp as a sword, piercing through the air three feet high, like snow melting in a huge furnace, making a sizzling sound, and the steaming incense scattered in all directions, just like a huge wave hitting the shore. Looking intently, this breath was as hot as a dragon, with hidden Yang energy!!! "Is this the realm of pretending to be dirty?!" A gleam of excitement flashed in Gu Yunli's eyes. With the unlimited supply of incense, the speed of cultivation in the spiritual realm was faster than he expected. At this moment, he has already climbed the stairs and pretended to be dirty. Looking inward, the five elements of spiritual objects surround the body in the order of mutual generation. Driven by the soul power, they support each other in an endless cycle.
Strands of Yang energy are born from the cycle of the Five Elements, and chase each other with the Yin power of the soul and body, just like Tai Chi Pisces, forming a perfect balance! "The five elements are multiplied to achieve the goal, and all things are born with them!" "Hahaha, wonderful!" Gu Yunli laughed out loud, feeling refreshed. He has officially entered the realm of Zhuangzang, which is equivalent to making up for the shortcomings of being a ghost. Although his cultivation seems to have not improved significantly, the essence of his life has already tended to be "perfect", and he has the foundation and possibility to impact a higher realm. In other words, at this moment he was already infinitely close to being a human. The most intuitive change is that, under the manifestation of data, his health bar has become longer, and not just a little bit longer. It is five times the realm of spiritual communication! To be honest, the length of this health bar was a little beyond his expectations. He suspected that this was due to the high-quality five-element spiritual object worth 60,000 incense sticks. Sixty thousand incense sticks! You should know that the annual incense offerings and tributes in Tian'an Village are less than 300 sticks. From this we can see its value. "Now, if I run into Cui's grandmother again, even if I can't defeat her, this long health bar is enough for me to kill her with a kite!" Gu Yunli pondered to himself, and his mood became especially bright and sunny, as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining. "Ding-dong-" Suddenly, a new piece of news interrupted his excitement. As his mind moved, the Internet flashed in his eyes. When he saw the address book, Gu Yunli's face was suddenly filled with surprise. The inspector sent him more than sixty messages. Open it and take a look: "May I ask, how was this video recorded? Why can't I see the video after I've been watching it for a long time?" "Don't reply, it's resolved."
"Excuse me again, brother. Why is there no sound in my video?" "……Understood." “Why is there only me in this video and no carpenter?” "..." Gu Yunli flipped through the message sent by the patrol officer with a face full of question marks. No wonder there is no activity in online classes, is it that relationships are too difficult to get started? After all, someone who can sit on the position of Chief of the Inspection Department should have no problem with comprehension. If even he has so many problems with usage, you can imagine what other people have. But, my design is already very fool-proof, right? How can we further simplify it? Gu Yunli was bewildered. After much thought, he could only conclude that it was normal for a cross-era product to not adapt to the local environment. Thinking about how he couldn't understand the interface of the mobile games played by kids when he went home for the New Year, everything seemed to be understandable. "Take it slow. I'm still taking too big a step. If I start with 2G text, then 3G pictures, and finally 4G videos, maybe the situation will be better." "But it doesn't matter. Whether it's text or video, it's a groundbreaking product for the world and it will have the same impact." Gu Yunli thought secretly, and then quickly read the inspector's question: "The video has been uploaded. How about taking a look?" "Brother, tell me honestly, are these 10,000 views for you to comfort Mr. He?" "No, these comments don't look like they were made by you, brother. I'm just confused!" "Your eyes are shining, we are really the best!" "Oh my, I'm so angry, could you please delete those comments, you bastards, how dare you insult me!" Gu Yunli listened to the inspector's roar with a frown on his face. What kind of comment could make him so angry? Before he could look through it curiously, the following messages from the inspector made him frown! "Brother, why are there so few viewers for my paid video? What's the problem?" "I saw a video explaining Chinese characters, and it had thousands of people watching. I should be good at teaching carpentry skills, right?" This last voice message was just sent. Gu Yunli's heart moved, and he immediately entered the online course section. He saw that the online course interface, which was empty before he started practicing, was now filled with videos. Of course, when we say it is full, there are only about 20 or 30 items when we count them. Therefore, Gu Yunli didn't even need to search and found the carpenter video released by the patrol officer at a glance. So far, the patrol has released a total of two videos. The first video, which has 30,000 views, has automatically been included in the video incentive program and the paid function has been activated. The second video’s playback volume dropped to the bottom in an instant, with only over a thousand playbacks.
Gu Yunli pondered for a moment and watched the video. In the video, a middle-aged man is standing in front of a hunter's cabin, seriously introducing various types of wood and carpenter tools. From Gu Yunli's perspective, this video is undoubtedly extremely boring. But given the current environment, it makes no sense that no one would pay. You know, the reason why he launched the online course section is to maintain user activity and force them to develop the good habit of burning incense and signing in. The points that ordinary people get from burning incense and signing in every day are enough for them to watch more than a dozen paid videos. So what's the problem? Gu Yunli glanced at other videos and found that what the inspector said was true. Although the content quality of other paid videos was very poor, they had a large number of views. After all, the Internet traffic is there. While browsing, a video caught Gu Yunli's attention. He saw an old acquaintance: ——Zhao Cunyuan! Zhao Cunyuan only released one free video, but it has been played over 100,000 times. Far more than the total number of Internet users. In other words, there are definitely people who are watching it repeatedly, otherwise there wouldn't be such an exaggerated number. Click in and take a look. Then he saw Zhao Cunyuan sitting beside a stream and talking freely about the "Record of Worshiping the Big Dipper". Gu Yunli didn't understand the method of refining Qi, but he had also read similar lecture notes. In comparison, he could only say that what Zhao Cunyuan said was rough and immature. When I opened the comment section, I saw a lot of mocking comments. What basic nouns are said incorrectly? The method of exercising Qigong is reversed; The local accent is too strong...and so on. But compared to the ridicule, there are also many praise comments. "Thank you, young master. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. The mystery that has troubled me for many days has finally been solved." "Young Master, can you explain the golden light in detail? Why can't I see it when I meditate?" "Young Master, your virtue is like the green bamboo, and your cultivation is like the bright moon!" Gu Yunli watched Zhao Cunyuan talking without speeding up the video from beginning to end. He only smiled slightly after the video was finished. As my thoughts wandered, the ideas of data emerged, and I wrote down my thoughts and left a comment: ——It would be nice to take a little bit of the red snow from the stove and scatter it as a night lamp for the world. After putting pen to paper, he immediately exited the video. He has figured out why picketing caused a sharp drop in paid video views.
