Chapter 2188: The New Direction of Star Dou Battle Network (Subscribe Please)_1

Xie Xie next to him couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I hadn't expected this. Isn't President Zhenhua Gu Yue's teacher? Why is he so good to you, Wulin? Could it be that there's some kind of unspeakable relationship between you two?"

Tang Wulin glared at him. "What are you talking about? I won't deny that President Zhenhua has been very good to me, but there's no relationship between us!"

If other members of the Blacksmith Association heard this kind of talk, who knows what kind of rumors would spread!

Xie Xie coughed, "Cough cough, don't take it so seriously, man. I was just joking. Now that President Zhenhua is in a coma, what do you plan to do next, Wulin?"

Tang Wulin's gaze fell on the object in his hand. He said seriously, "Well, I plan to observe the process of Heavenly Forging first, then wait for President Zhenhua to wake up!"

Xie Xie pointed at himself. "What about me?" he asked.

Tang Wulin was taken aback, then gave an awkward smile. "This... I hadn't considered that. Why don't you take this opportunity to improve your own Forging skills?"

Xie Xie's head shook like a rattle-drum. "Forget about it... I'm well aware of my own Forging skills; they're beyond saving!"

His talent in Forging and Mechas actually wasn't weak, but after advancing to the Inner Court, he had stopped practicing, resulting in him having nearly forgotten everything!

Besides, with a Blacksmith of the Eighth Grade present, whether he could Forge or not was no longer important!

He then thought of something else and said with a sigh, "Well then, I'll just train hard at the Blacksmith Association for a while and strive to catch up with my soul power rank!"

Tang Wulin didn't say much. "Alright, just take care of yourself!"

With that, he turned around and entered a forging room...

At this moment, Xie Xie's gaze turned to a staff member next to him, and he quietly said, "Could you take me somewhere quiet, please?"

"Of course, follow me!"

Beneath the Blacksmith Association, there were also areas built for Soul Masters to train and spar...

...

The Federation!

Because of the popularity of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, the only people left using the Star Dou Battle Network were practically from the Federation's own military!

What used to cost just a few thousand federation coins and allowed you to easily find someone to spar with, now required a wait of at least several hours to find a match!

One of the Federation's high-ranking officials shouted angrily, "We can't let the Spirit Pagoda continue like this; otherwise, our Star Dou Battle Network system will completely collapse!"

Another high-level official said with a cold face, "Set the price to the lowest, attract all the Soul Masters. The Spirit Pagoda and Leng Yaozhu... well done!"

"I heard it wasn't Leng Yaozhu who proposed it, but that Young Tower Master!"

"Whoever it was who proposed it, the suggestion has been a huge success and is now posing a serious threat to our Federation!"

The man leading the group furrowed his brows slightly. "We seem to need to negotiate with the Spirit Pagoda! These acts of disrupting the market with low prices have crossed the line!"

No sooner had these words fallen than the other high-level officials echoed in agreement, "I agree! We can't let the Spirit Pagoda do whatever it wants anymore!"

"I agree too. If this continues, the Federation will eventually collapse. We must get the Spirit Pagoda to revert its prices," said another.

An older high-level official pondered, "Perhaps... we could also lower the price of the Star Dou Battle Network? To draw in Soul Masters?"

But he was quickly opposed...

"No, the construction of the Star Dou Battle Network cost the Federation a vast amount of resources and capital. If we lower the prices, who knows when we'll recoup our investment!"

While they were arguing, there was a knock at the door of the conference room...

Then, Chen Xinjie, who hid his presence so well he seemed as ageless as a centenarian, stepped inside...

Seeing him, the pupils of all the high-level officials constricted as they said with awe, "Hanhai Douluo!"

Although they controlled the federation, the man before them was none other than the Hall Master of the War God Hall, the renowned Hanhai Douluo!

Naturally, they had to show him enough respect!

Chen Xinjie nodded to acknowledge their greetings, then found a seat to sit down, his face calm as he said, "Don't mind me, just here to listen in. Please, continue!"

Even though he said that, his mere presence in the room added a certain heaviness to the atmosphere of the meeting...

...

After a while,

Chen Xinjie also picked up on the concerns of these federation officials, suddenly interrupting, "It seems you all are very wary of the Spirit Pagoda's Ten Thousand Beast Platform stealing the market from the Star Dou Battle Network!"

Upon hearing this, the other high-ranking officials stopped discussing and turned to look expectantly at him...

"Hanhai Douluo, you say this as if you have already thought of a solution?"

Chen Xinjie replied calmly, "It's simple, we just need to continue to develop new features around the Star Dou Battle Network!"

If they were to forcefully demand that the Spirit Pagoda raise prices, they might face condemnation from the Soul Masters across the Continent!

Believed to be a force that exists only for personal gain by the federation!

They might even lose the people's heart!

The leading man showed an embarrassed expression, "You may not be aware, but developing the Star Dou Battle Network is extremely difficult, and it always requires a great deal of time!"

"Moreover, the system of the Star Dou Battle Network is already very comprehensive, making any changes would only backfire."

If it was as simple as developing a new feature to get the Soul Masters to reuse the Star Dou Battle Network, they wouldn't be this troubled!

Although the others didn't say anything, their faces inevitably showed complex expressions...

Clearly, they were very dissatisfied with Chen Xinjie's suggestion...

Chen Xinjie naturally noticed their thoughts and continued calmly, "You say that the Star Dou Battle Network's system is already comprehensive. Then let me ask you, why would Soul Masters prefer the Ten Thousand Beast Platform over the Star Dou Battle Network?"

The leading man was taken aback for a moment, then pondered, "Because the Ten Thousand Beast Platform has built a very realistic virtual world, even replicating the environment and soul beasts of the Aquipeia Forest!"

The very next second, he exclaimed, "Yes... our federation also possesses the technology to create such a virtual environment. If we add this feature to the existing basis of the Star Dou Battle Network, our competitiveness would definitely surpass that of the Spirit Pagoda!"

"Perhaps we would even completely crush it!"

So, this was what Hanhai Douluo wanted to point out!!

Turns out he was thinking too narrowly!

Seeing that they had understood, Chen Xinjie stood up right away, "Well... this is all the advice I can give."

And so, under the admiring gazes of everyone, he left quietly...

It was only then that the leading man turned to the other high-ranking officials and asked, "Gentlemen, what do you think of what Hanhai Douluo just said?"

"I think we can give it a try. While we certainly can't build something as realistic and vast as the Ten Thousand Beast Platform on our first attempt, at least we might retrieve some Soul Masters!"

"The function of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform is very singular. If we can truly add this feature to the Star Dou Battle Network, I believe the results won't disappoint us."
