Another reason for him to go to the Serpent Mountain Village was to crack the secrets of the Cosmos Rings. ∈ _ {
On his way back to the Grand Desolate War Institution, Li Yao had tried to crack the barriers of the Cosmos Rings with his mini crystal processor.
But after a brief test, he discovered that a weird double barrier had been embedded inside the Cosmos Rings. It seemed that two spaces, one large and one small, had been sealed inside the Cosmos Rings.
Li Yao deduced that the first large space was the snake demon's storage space.
The second small space, on the other hand, was very likely to be the storage space of the snake demon's previous owner, or even the owner before that.
The previous owner of the Cosmos Rings had set up a powerful barrier inside the Cosmos Rings and cut out a small space. Even the snake demon had failed to crack the barrier.
Therefore, the snake demon had simply added its own barrier on the basis of the barrier.
Li Yao had calculated that it was not difficult to crack the snake demon's barrier. As long as he found a suitable algorithm and asked the crystal processor to run for a few days, he would be able to crack the barrier by force.
However, if he did so, it was very likely that the deeper barrier would be triggered, which would cause the entire space to collapse and the Cosmos Rings to be destroyed.
It was too difficult to crack the double barrier completely. It was far beyond Li Yao's capability. Besides, he did not have a crystal processor that specialized in cracking barriers.
In the world of Cultivators, however, there was a mysterious profession that wandered in the gray field named 'Cryptographer'.
Every Cryptographer was both a maniac of crystal processors and an expert at manipulating telepathic thoughts. Cracking barriers was their greatest pleasure.
Many Cryptographers were eccentric geniuses. They were not interested in fame or fortune but in the thrill of cracking barriers.
Such a bunch of Cryptographers had gathered in the Serpent Mountain Village. Even the large-scale barriers that the government of the Federation had set up on the Spiritual Nexus could not stop them.
Only Cryptographers could crack the double barrier of the Cosmos Rings and help Li Yao figure out the secrets of the Cosmos Rings.
"I've made up my mind!"
"I'll learn more about the progress of Project Mystic Skeleton in the next few days. Then, I'll ask for leave and go to the Serpent Mountain Village. If everything goes well, it will only take me three days to go. I'll pick a day off. It won't take me too much time. "
Li Yao activated the spiritual crane messenger for work.
"Mountain Sea sent so many messages to me?"
Li Yao's spirits were lifted as he rubbed his hands.
Three months ago. He had reached an agreement with the Mountain Sea Sect on the Demon Beast Detector. According to the plan, the large-scale production and marketing of the Demon Beast Detector should begin. He wondered how the sales would be like.
The Demon Beast Detector was the first piece of magical equipment that Li Yao had refined with painstaking efforts.
How much money he could earn was secondary. The most important thing was that the crystallization of his blood, sweat, and tears would be recognized by the majority of cultivators.
Li Yao opened the message and browsed through it excitedly.
The more he looked. The more his eyes widened, the uglier his expression became. He was stunned for a long time before he muttered to himself,
"Only 693 units were sold after a month on the market?"
"And there are so many bad reviews in the magazines and the forums of the Spiritual Nexus?"
"Even many distributors are refusing to cooperate?"
Li Yao scratched his head in confusion.
The performance of the Demon Beast Detector. He had already proven in actual combat that he was definitely not the product of closed doors.
The Mountain Sea Sect had also conducted a very detailed market research and project feasibility analysis. The prospects were very optimistic.
Moreover, the Demon Beast Detector was the last major project of the Mountain Sea Sect. The entire sect attached great importance to it.
Their production line had been modified under the personal supervision of Li Yao. Every detail had been taken into consideration. The quality of the product would not be worse than the one refined by Li Yao himself.
In order to be a hit. The price was also quite low. It was purely for small profits but quick turnover. It was only to spread the name of the Mountain Sea Sect and the Fiend Star.
Although Li Yao did not have high expectations, less than 700 units had been sold in a month. It was a bit unbearable to look at.
Li Yao pondered for a moment. He connected to the Spiritual Nexus and bought several recent virtual magical equipment magazines. Then he searched for reviews related to the Demon Beast Detector.
There were three most famous magical equipment magazines in the Xing Yao Federation. They were "Magical Equipment World", "Refiners' Home", and "Flying Sword and Battle Armor".
These three magazines would update a lot of articles every day. They would evaluate the new magical equipment that had appeared in the world of cultivators. They would also release a lot of lists. There were positive lists such as "Gold List", "Hot Seller List", and "Creative List". There were also negative lists such as "Black List", "Rotten Egg List", and "Flashy but Useless List".
The world of magical equipment was extremely vast. Every day, new magical equipment was refined in the world of cultivators. It was impossible for an ordinary cultivator to try them one by one. The reviews in the magazines played a crucial role.
It could be said that if a piece of magical equipment was unanimously praised by the magazines, its sales would skyrocket like fireworks.
And if a piece of magical equipment was scolded badly by the reviewers in the magazines, no one would be interested in it. Maybe it would be eliminated from the market very soon.
The Demon Beast Detector was a newcomer's work. It was not famous in the world of cultivators. There were only a few reviews in the magazines by several second-tier reviewers.
Li Yao opened the review in "Magical Equipment World" and read it patiently.
The review first listed some of the advantages of the Demon Beast Detector, such as its portability, fast response, accurate detection, and so on.
Then, it changed the topic and began to say "but".
However, after the Demon Beast Detector was refined into a monocle, the information bouncing would interfere with the vision. Also, when worn on one side of the head, the weight of the two sides would be slightly different, which would affect the balance of the body.
In extreme cases, if the crystal was broken, it was very likely that the crystal would splash into the eyes, which would seriously affect the combat ability.
Besides …
The review seemed to be fair, but it listed more than ten flaws in the review. It was not until the end that the review came to a conclusion.
"However, as a small invention made by a college student in his spare time, the Demon Beast Detector has already achieved a very high completion rate."
Li Yao was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
There was no perfect magical equipment in the world. Every piece of magical equipment had its flaws and limitations. Of course, the Demon Beast Detector had its own problems, too.
However, the review was nitpicking. It used an absurdly harsh standard to evaluate the Demon Beast Detector.
It was like saying that a chainsword lacked the ability to attack from a distance, and a crystal railgun was not suitable for close combat. Wasn't it nonsense?
That was right. Wearing the Demon Beast Detector on one of the ears would indeed affect the balance of the body. But even if a chainsword was hung on the waist, wouldn't it be lighter on one side and heavier on the other? There was no Cultivator who would hang a chainsword straight on the spine in order to pursue balance.
As for the fact that the crystal would pierce into the eyeballs when it was broken … That was true. However, when any Battle Armor or Crystal Suit was broken, the pieces could pierce into the body. Judging a piece of magical equipment by this point was like giving up eating for fear of choking.
Li Yao silently cursed the eighteen generations of ancestors of this reviewer in his heart as he opened the review article of < Refiners' Home >.
The second review did not dwell too much on the advantages and disadvantages of the Demon Beast Detector itself. Instead, it focused on Li Yao and the Mountain Sea Sect.
Instead of pouring dirty water on them, he praised their creativity and fighting spirit in between the lines.
But after reading the whole review … It gave the impression that Li Yao was a greenhorn in refining, and the Mountain Sea Sect was a combat sect that did not have much experience in refining precision magical equipment. Their last product, the Hunting Watch, had even been a fiasco.
Such a pair was brave enough to refine an extremely sophisticated probe magical equipment. But as for the performance and quality, hahahaha.
Li Yao was so angry that his nostrils expanded.
This review. It was even more insidious than the first review. What was written was the truth. He could not find a reason to flip out even if he wanted to.
"Flying Sword and Battle Armor" was originally a very professional magazine that only reviewed flying sword and battle armor magical equipment. Later, it slowly extended to all kinds of military magical equipment.
In terms of professionalism and authority, it was the highest among the three magazines.
"Flying Sword and Battle Armor" had the shortest review.
It did not dwell too much on the advantages and disadvantages, nor did it talk about the background of Li Yao and the Mountain Sea Sect. Instead, he pointed out a problem with a single hit.
From the design concept of the Demon Beast Detector, it was a piece of auxiliary magical equipment that was very suitable for loners fighting on the Grand Desolate Plateau.
But such loners were often very strong, with excellent memory and computational ability. They did not need the Demon Beast Detector. They could also remember the characteristics and abilities of a lot of demon beasts.
And those who needed the Demon Beast Detector the most were actually low-level cultivators and ordinary soldiers.
But they often moved in groups and had large probe magical equipment. It was not very useful to use the Demon Beast Detector.
"Unclear positioning. Too single function."
This was the conclusion of the reviewer of "Flying Sword and Battle Armor".
Li Yao was convinced by the review.
He had been thinking about the positioning and function of the Demon Beast Detector and was planning to integrate the communication and mapping functions into it when he refined the new generation of the Demon Beast Detector.
However, this problem alone was not enough to cause the Demon Beast Detector to only sell 600 sets.
Li Yao thought for a moment and then entered a forum called "Blood and Slaughter".
This was a well-known forum for demon beast hunters. A lot of cultivators mingled in it and exchanged their experiences of fighting demon beasts on the Grand Desolate Plateau.
Among them, there was also a magical equipment exchange forum, in which the netizens had personal experiences of using certain magical equipment. It was quite popular among the low-level cultivators.
Li Yao searched for 57 posts related to the Demon Beast Detector, all of which were negative comments.
"What kind of broken toy is this? It worked at first, but after I fell down in the battle, it was completely broken. It can't even differentiate between a low-level Demon Soldier and a middle-level Demon Soldier. It almost killed me!"
"The design is terrible. It is very uncomfortable when it is attached to my ear. When I sweat, I feel that my entire ear is blocked."
"Don't buy it. It is just a scam created by a college student and a third-rate sect!"
While reading, Li Yao's eyes narrowed. Two sharp rays of light shot out from the bottom of his eyes.
In total, only 600 sets were sold. In this small forum, more than 50 users had left negative comments.
Moreover, the date of many people's posts was too close to the release date of the Demon Beast Detector.
It was as if they had bought the Demon Beast Detector on the day it was released, immediately went to the depths of the Grand Desolate Plateau to fight, and when they came back the next day, they immediately posted curses on the Internet.
One or two of them were possible, but dozens of them were the same...
