God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 496: This Is a Huge Opportunity!

"You're saying you heard there was a gamble here, so you ran over?"

The elven Second Elder looked totally incredulous.

Master Wrathwind nodded matter-of-factly. "They said this was a gamble that could change the world. How could I not be interested?"

"Then what was in the invitation you got?"

"Viscount Roster wants to combine various different healing methods, including but not limited to druid potions, holy water, alchemical creations... along with Magic Conductors and various commercial and church forces, to improve all intelligent life's survival capability in this world..."

The elven Second Elder quickly rattled off the contents of his invitation.

Hearing this, Master Wrathwind couldn't help showing an expression like "are you kidding me?"

It sounded so fantastical.

Could something like this actually be done?

As everyone knew, there was actually competition between them.

Though druids worshiped the God of Nature who didn't require them to heal people, they needed to earn enough funding through healing potions. He, the continent's greatest druid, had lived off druid potions for a good 200-plus years.

Of course, these druids were also paragons of respecting life.

If they encountered someone severely injured, they'd gladly lend a hand.

The Church of Light used holy water to attract believers' faith.

Their holy water was often distributed to everyone at fixed times.

Many churches were basically just these two different situations.

As for alchemists, they were a bunch of greedy bloodsuckers.

You could say they'd do anything for gold coins.

After all, they were also the biggest spenders in this world.

Some of them did it for gold coins, some for survival, some for the future, some for faith—each using different healing methods to achieve certain goals.

But you could see that healing was the core of everything.

They could trade healing for what they needed.

Now suddenly someone was saying stuff like this, about integrating their abilities to let more and more people survive—how would their interests be protected?

How could something like this even be done?

"Viscount Roster can't actually do something like this, right? How does he balance our gains and losses? Plus, when some people realize one of us isn't their only choice, won't it directly affect the results we want?"

Master Wrathwind's words might sound abstract, but everyone understood what he meant.

Basically, say some territory—the lord here had already partnered with the Church of Light. In this region, the only one who could provide healing was the Church of Light.

These druids, or any other church, couldn't enter.

Under these circumstances, the people of this territory would without a doubt believe in the Church of Light.

Because it was the only choice.

Especially when they got sick and after taking holy water got some relief.

But if at this point another healing method appeared in this territory, would these people still choose to believe?

They might choose to use druid potions, or seek help from someone from another church, or maybe go to the Church of Light.

Diversifying choices would undoubtedly make them lose their sense of awe.

Converting them into believers would become incredibly difficult.

This whole idea sounded pretty absurd.

"It's precisely because we don't know what Viscount Roster wants to do that everyone came."

The elven Second Elder helplessly spread his hands. "This world has already changed countless times because of Viscount Roster, because of the Church of Technology. None of us can guarantee something like this really can't be done, so we have to come."

"If it can be done, it's a good proposal. We can at least choose to accept it. We'll have a bright future."

"If it seems absurd, we can also see what others choose, then make an appropriate choice ourselves. Might fail, but better than not knowing from the start."

"If this method completely doesn't work and everyone's rejecting it, we've just made an extra trip."

"Oh? You really think that?" Master Wrathwind looked totally skeptical.

If anyone else said this, he might've believed it.

But he knew his old friend's personality.

This guy definitely wasn't thinking like that.

At most, this was only part of his thinking.

"You know us elves don't like change."

The elven Second Elder spread his hands. "But some things have to be done."

"What if it succeeds? That dwarf elf told me this might be an opportunity for us elves, or maybe a nightmare, depending entirely on how we choose."

"That guy knows some inside info?"

Though Master Wrathwind hadn't returned to the Elf Kingdom in ages, he instantly understood who "that dwarf elf" meant.

Without a doubt, it was that guy who betrayed the God of Nature for a bit of profit and converted to the God of Technology.

The Golden Merchant Guild he now ran had already covered pretty much everywhere on the continent.

Seemed like you could see the Golden Merchant Guild anywhere.

What made these druids even more furious was this guy used factories to mass-produce druid potions that, while maybe not as good as some druid masters.

But the stuff this guy produced had stable quality to an outrageous degree, basically crushing all lower-level druids.

No matter how they made druid potions, they couldn't reach factory level.

Because of this guy's actions, even the druid profession's development was directly affected.

But they had to admit, this guy's methods were so ridiculous that all druids couldn't help but admire him.

How many people originally could use druid potions?

Originally everywhere was full of inferior druid potions, making so many people indifferent to them?

Now all these problems were solved.

Most people on this continent seemed able to afford some fairly ordinary druid potions. Those inferior druid potions had already been excluded.

This also seemed to have a big effect on promoting druids.

In short, their evaluation of this dwarf elf was very polarized and contradictory.

But they had to admit, that guy really was a genius.

With keen insight in many areas.

"Don't know. I asked him, he said he didn't know, just made a guess based on his understanding of Viscount Roster and the Church of Technology."

The elven Second Elder spread his hands helplessly. "Facing this situation, we had to make this trip."
