Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 306 - Book

Chapter 306: Book

It was actually very easy for Legendary creatures to earn money. The most direct method was to find someone and control them completely.
Although the chip located at the back of every Atlantean’s neck was very technologically advanced, controlling a person meant obtaining all knowledge about this person, including their account.
It was easy to control an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, there was another question. How should they implement change?
Wei Huo said, “We will write novels, draw comics, and invade their world with culture!”
Wei Huo and the others had observed that the Atlanteans did not seem to engage in literary work. There were no literary products such as novels, comics, or movies in their world.
The Atlanteans were like slaves to money. They only knew how to earn money and ensure their own survival.
From this point of view, their minds were completely sealed. They had no freedom of thought, and their bodies were not free either.
That was why they set up a stall on the street that day. In the beginning, they provided painting and calligraphy for free.
The drawings boldly used some sexy beauties. With their Legendary-level methods and the scientific attainments of the golden armor, they were able to create a printer. In combination with design software, they could create any kind of picture.
Wei Huo said, “Survival and reproduction are instincts carved into any individual. Men’s pursuit of beauties and women’s desire for handsome men have always been an unchanging human instinct. Attracting them with sexy photos does not cost money anyway!”
The golden armor immediately started researching. Normal paper could not be used in this temperature, but it was very smart. Paper was not the only material in this world that could be used to write and draw. The first reason people wrote and drew on paper was because they were used to it. The second reason was because it was cheap. However, many materials could be used to draw or create photos. Similarly, there were also some non-volatile materials that could be easily used as paint.
The golden armor said, “The ancients said that if one studies mathematics, physics, and chemistry well, one will not be afraid even if one walks the world. The ancients were right. We will collect materials on the spot and use magma as paint. The black worm’s shell will be used to make a book and the stone tree to make a pen. Then, creation will begin!’”
Soon, a few bold and sexy pictures of young ladies appeared at their stall. Of course, the pictures were all of beautiful female Atlanteans. These Atlanteans were wearing revealing clothes and posing seductively. Even land people would be attracted to them, not to mention Atlanteans.
Some male Atlanteans stole a few glances as they passed by. After taking a few looks, they could not move their eyes away.
They realized there was a crucial problem. The sexy beauties in these pictures did not cost anything!
They stopped in their tracks but did not need to speak. That way, the cost of looking at these photos would be reduced to the lowest cost possible.
Then, a really terrifying thing happened. Xiao Liang walked over and handed an Atlantean a book. “This is for you.”
The Atlantean took the book in disbelief. There was actually free stuff in this world? Free stuff was eye-catching and irresistible.
Besides, this person had wasted money to walk over to him. Could there be a person that deliberately wasted money in this world?
There were such people.
Some nouveau riche people were like that. These nouveau riche individuals were too rich. They looked down on the black ships because they had too much money. They went out to work on foot because they had too much money. These people were talking non-stop while walking. They were running at the most expensive part of the city and panting.
We don’t understand the world of nouveau riche people…
That was why the Atlantean held the notebook in his arms and slipped away without saying anything. However, a moment later, he suddenly revealed an amused expression.
I made a killing today!
There were many people like this Atlantean, and both men and women were among them. Not only were there beautiful women in these sexy photos, but there were also handsome men!
In the underwater world, one had to pay a fee to see handsome men and beautiful women. However, the Atlanteans had not expected to see handsome men and beautiful women in photos. Most importantly, this method was free.
At that moment, the people setting up the stall were two Atlanteans controlled by Wei Huo and the others. Besides, the book was starting to collect fees. At the same time, there was now more bold content in the book.
This made some poor people blush.
An Atlantean thought to himself, One has to pay a fee to look at beautiful women. Besides, the fee is much more expensive than this book. As long as I buy this book, I can look at it forever. This is definitely worth it!
Wei Huo and the others’ money started increasing. They started buying the knowledge of the Atlanteans and improving their equipment. At the same time, more stalls appeared in the city.
There were no stalls in this underwater world, so there were naturally no city law enforcement officers.
That was normal. No one would waste money shouting anywhere, nor would they run around selling their products. After all, they had to pay for everything they did.
Similarly, there were also no salespeople in this world. Trading in this world was very simple. If one needed something, one would buy it.
However, there was one weird thing. There were no robots in the underwater world that had replaced human labor. Had the underwater scientists not thought of this? Or had they encountered a problem?
The products at the bottom of the sea were made personally by people. However, these people did not make much money. Their money was earned by the boss of the company who had hired them.
The golden armor felt very weird and said, “It’s weird. There’s no mention of robots in all this knowledge. There’s even no mention of machines. If they switch to robots, their efficiency will increase greatly. Why wouldn’t they do such a good thing? Could they have made some deviations?”
At that moment, Xiao Liang said, “Gu Huo, have you watched I, Robot?”
Wei Huo nodded. “Robots are too intelligent. In the end, they will destroy humans. Perhaps this happened before and the Atlanteans completely removed the robots from the technological tree!”
The group of people continued to earn money. The popularity of the books made the money in their accounts increase. Soon, people from the City Lord’s residence came to find them.
The good news was that the City Lord encouraged innovation. If a country wanted to develop, innovation could not be replaced. The City Lord only asked them to build a company according to normal procedures and pay taxes accordingly.
The City Lord had a very clear rule on fees. Land, knowledge, and people belonged to the public. Since they belonged to the public, a fee needed to be collected. However, products like this book were the essence of human intelligence. They could have a price, but the sellers had to pay taxes.
