God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 512: God of Gardens: What Could I Possibly Think?

"The news feature is more like a traditional information aggregator, and it leans toward entertainment. The positioning is actually very vague. Haven't you noticed that most people using the news feature now are people who are so bored they don't know what else to do?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

News Bird Megan sighed. "Many people would rather watch news on videos and stuff than bother opening this feature."

"Before there was a delete feature, some people would still click on it when they saw the word 'news.'"

"But that might not be the case in the future."

"Maybe lots of people will delete this feature."

"Although we occupy a position in videos too, compared to big players like you, it's not worth mentioning."

"Anyway, the best solution I can think of is to create a more professional news feature to replace it and get more people using it."

"The news feature created by the God of Technology isn't even being used that much anymore. How can you... be sure people will use the feature you create? What's the difference between your feature and the previous one?"

Audrey was actually pretty confused. She couldn't quite understand.

But not quite understanding wasn't a big problem.

Basically, the previous news feature wasn't good, people would rather go elsewhere to look at news, and now features could be deleted, so Megan was worried users here would keep decreasing, so she wanted to develop a new feature.

To replace it.

"The new feature I'm planning to develop is called 'Headlines.' It'll precisely record what type of news each user likes to watch, and when they open their Magic Net each day, it'll push about ten news items they're interested in."

News Bird Megan didn't hide anything from her good bestie and directly explained her idea.

"If every time you first open your Magic Net each day, ten news items you're interested in appear in front of you, would you click on them?"

News Bird Megan finished speaking quickly, then turned to ask, "Even if just one of them?"

"Probably." Audrey thought about it and felt that if there was nothing urgent to do, she'd probably click.

"If after clicking, you see more news like that, would you stick around?" News Bird Megan continued asking.

"Probably, if I could keep seeing things I'm interested in."

"What if among all these interesting news items, there were one or two items you're not that interested in? Would you skip them, or occasionally click to take a look?"

Audrey nodded.

Although it felt a bit contradictory, it seemed like that's what she'd do.

"Exactly, that's what I want. Precisely push news users are interested in, precisely deliver ads, precisely guide them to spread to other news, slowly cultivate users, make them become our shape."

News Bird Megan said with a smile, "This is the feature I want to create. But this developer documentation is pretty complex. I've already got several smart people learning it."

"Now we'll see who can create it first."

Neither of them realized just how complex this precision push recommendation would be.

They just felt this feature was pretty good.

"By the way, coming to find me at this time, you must also want to develop a new feature? What's your idea?"

While the two of them discussed new features for their respective industries, many, many others also set their sights on this.

To be precise, it wasn't just humans anymore.

Not even just intelligent life in the mortal realm—some gods also turned their attention to this.

The gods who'd previously had custom features made were all getting fat and happy.

All the gods knew about this.

Especially that Goddess of Writing.

What was she before?

In total, her followers were just a handful.

Whether she could even gather two or three thousand people was questionable.

The faith she attracted all relied on these followers wandering the continent. Who knows how many people died to exchange for that faith, which barely maintained her divine realm.

And now?

Good grief!

She had 14,000 clerics. Who knows how many followers, but at least eight or ten million people prayed to her every day, praying all day long, praying once every half hour.

Even if they were the shallowest casual believers, even if the prayers were just going through the motions, the faith she gained was an enormous number.

It was like her faith pool was full.

Countless people kept providing her with faith again and again.

How could other gods not be envious?

Countless gods thought every day about whether they could work something out with the God of Technology to develop a similar feature for themselves.

But they'd never been able to finalize anything.

In the end, they could only launch various actions using existing features, like having their followers live stream on the video feature.

Naturally, there were gains.

The Goddess of Love and Beauty, the God of Hunting—they were big winners.

Every day, endless faith flowed toward them.

Outside the Magic Net, the Goddess of Agriculture, the God of Nature, and other gods also earned decent faith.

But they were ultimately the minority.

The remaining gods could only rely on schools, bridges, and hospitals, proceeding step by step.

Even though recently, various schools had started all kinds of factory construction, the faith they provided was minimal.

This time, the opening of feature development immediately excited them.

The divine realm of the Goddess of Music.

Countless gods still attending the banquet, upon learning this news, all had the same look in their eyes, showing interested expressions one after another.

Forming a stark contrast with when they first heard about the Magic Net.

"Never thought Technology would be so generous, handing this kind of authority to everyone."

"If we could develop a feature many people need, then make these people pray once every time they activate this feature, or learn from that Writing fellow, it might be a good choice."

"Do you guys have any ideas? My domain doesn't seem very suitable for this kind of action."

"Heh, who's more suitable than you? Who doesn't know your church is doing pretty well on Magic Net videos now? Many people are full of hope for their future, and your followers are best at creating excellent estates."

"But what does that have to do with developing a new feature? I can't specifically develop a feature that lets people generate with one click the style of estate they want... Even if I did, how many people could provide me faith?"

As the God of Gardens spoke, even he started losing confidence.

It felt like this might actually be a good idea. Every time they generated something, make them pray once—might get quite a few prayers.
