Chapter 257 Ways to Make Money
They also have intelligent optical computers collect various sounds and then synthesize beautiful music.
Yufei had heard that music; it did have a calming effect, but it was, after all, machine-generated.
Yufei's music lacked spirit and sounded somewhat old-fashioned; listening to it for too long could actually make one feel a bit irritable.
This is the kind of feeling someone like her, who hasn't been injected with the gene serum, would have. Yufei can already imagine how the humans in these joint bases feel when they listen to this music.
It might be effective at first, and the effect might even be quite noticeable, but the more they listen, the more it will provoke their violent emotions.
Yufei didn't know how they should handle this situation, but it didn't matter to her.
Yufei saw a business opportunity in this. In this world, even though they haven't yet established a fully-fledged human order, their protection of copyright is more comprehensive than on their planet Earth.
Even the music edited by researchers from the quantum computer joint research team requires a fee for people inside the base to listen to.
Needless to say, she now knows that they have a huge demand for entertainment, and that humans simply don't have the time to develop that area.
Could she bring over music, novels, and TV series from their planet to earn Alliance Coins?
Yufei considered the possibilities and the problems she might encounter in implementing them.
Yufei's first thought was the language barrier. Music can transcend language, and she could even sell light music here; it should be feasible.
Secondly, there's the TV series, which Yufei rejected, arguing that many scenes and environments in the series are things that shouldn't be seen by people in this world.
From what Yufei observed over the past week, there wasn't a single patch of green to be seen inside the base; it was essentially a steel city forged from silver and metallic hues.
She learned from her classmates that the buildings on both the Southeast Base 2 where she was currently located and the other Alliance bases were all quite similar.
The only greenery you can see on their farms, and even there, the crops they grow aren't in very good condition.
Those vast expanses of green are practically nowhere to be seen in the base.
The only place to see large tracts of greenery is outside the base, in those heterogeneous forests composed of mutated plants.
Yufei thought about their TV series... even if it's an urban drama, there are green plants on both sides of the road, right? If it airs, won't it attract the attention of the relevant departments?
Or they could bring over science fiction films from Earth to show, but Yufei rejected that idea as science fiction films from Earth were incredibly novel to them.
But in this world, Yufei felt that the war scenes they casually filmed were more shocking than the science fiction movies on their Earth.
Yufei, on the other hand, thought they could even take those battle videos from here to Earth and broadcast them; they might even make a lot of money that way.
Therefore, Yufei has no plans to work on TV series or movies for the time being.
Finally, there's the matter of novels. Novels are possible, but the language and writing system on Earth are completely different from those in this world. If we were to transplant novels from Earth over...
That would require them to translate, which would be a considerable undertaking. After discussing it among the four of them, Xie Yiren offered to do the translation work.
This is a perfect match for their major! Yufei and her friends will be in charge of selecting books, seeing which ones are suitable for publication in this other world.
The matter was then settled.
This week, they not only learned about the entire history of world development, but also found ways to make money.
In addition to selling music and novels, Yufei has also set her sights on live streaming.
Even before their Great Xia livestream has started, this world's livestreaming system is already very well-developed.
Yufei also has some ideas about the content of the live stream, and she plans to focus on two main areas.
Firstly, there's the cuisine of the Great Xia Dynasty. This week, she also learned that the main food source in this world is nutrient solution, and various types of nutrient solutions...
One is a meat-based nutrient solution mainly composed of insect meat, and the other is a vegetarian nutrient solution mainly composed of potatoes from their planet Blue Star.
Of course, there is a simple food system here, but it is very simple, and the cooking methods are similar to those of ordinary people in Western countries.
Vegetable salads, grilled meats, and curries made from potatoes are some of these categories.
Moreover, these are already the most luxurious foods, partly because ingredients are limited, and most of their farm's crops are purchased centrally by the base.
After being processed into nutrient solution, a small portion will be reserved for those who have contributed to the base and humanity, and can be redeemed using contribution points.
The recipes are intended for this group of people or their descendants, who are not short of money.
If she does live streams on this topic, catering to this group of people, I believe they wouldn't mind giving her a little extra money as tips.
However, if she were to pursue this path, she would encounter the same problem of being unable to produce television series or films.
The source of the ingredients is difficult to explain.
"Actually, we can attribute the source of our ingredients to the base they suspect we came from. Then, when we talk about it, we can say that our base is completely different from their research and development direction."
Our research focuses on two areas: transmission and plant cultivation. Our plant cultivation is more advanced than those bases, and we have a wider variety of species.
Seeing Yufei troubled by this, Cui Yu'an thought for a moment and said...
"That's a good idea, but as you know from their development history, these unmutated plants are incredibly valuable to them. What if they knew that our virtual base has these treasures?"
What if they ask to visit their base? Or what if they want to exchange their planting techniques?
Yufei knew that Cui Yu'an's method was indeed good, but pushing the ingredients to their virtual base led to new problems.
Cui Yu'an thought for a moment
"This problem is easy to solve. Just say that their teleportation technology is not yet mature enough; it can only teleport in one direction, meaning they can only teleport out of the base and cannot yet teleport back."
Yufei nodded, "That's fine."
"Then how do we solve the second problem? What if this base asks us to provide plant cultivation methods?"
Yufei looked at Cui Yu'an with sparkling eyes, hoping he could solve her problem.
"That's even simpler. Let's just say that everyone has their own area of expertise, and we're not experts in this field," Cui Yu'an said with a roguish grin.
Yufei burst out laughing when she saw him like that.
"Great! Okay, let's do it that way." And that's how they decided on the first content for their live stream: a food program.
This is all thanks to the existence of dimensional pockets in this world—oh! In this world, they're not called dimensional pockets, but rather spatial rings.
Moreover, their technology in this area is quite advanced; almost everyone who owns a mecha will purchase a storage ring to house their mecha.
The price isn't very expensive, but it's not cheap either.
This is nothing to them, after all, they came representing their entire base. Is it strange that they have a few large spaces? Not at all!
Their food also provided a perfect explanation. Besides the food, Yufei also plans to stream the signature skills her master taught her.
Yufei even planned that her live streams would mainly focus on this, with food making as a secondary theme.
