Chapter 724: Chapter 718: The Real Purpose (Part 2)

The virtual system in there could store different types of data. It was absolutely safe and backed up. All information was backed up in Flame Nation’s biggest secret backup base, ensuring none of your data could be lost. In such circumstances, shopping domestically became even simpler, with a banking-specific operating system that was more intelligent than Eve Morrison’s system guaranteeing no loss or error in transactions.

Therefore, when shops like Wealthy Babe set up in this space, many stores passing off their products as authentic were instantly exposed. This new feature ignited a wave of excitement among Flame Nation’s virtual players, causing a surge in sales even among those who didn’t play games. To regular online shoppers, 300 Flame Nation coins was negligible.

The most important thing was the assurance of product validity in this system. Even if you bought a high-quality replica, you’d be aware of it, ensuring you wouldn’t feel cheated. Also, the goods you bought were reasonably priced, and at least you knew they weren’t exploitative. The same applies when it comes to clothing- many people could only view the clothes modeled online and had no idea what they’d look like in reality.

But in this space, that didn’t matter. Shoppers could instantly try on clothes as if they were in a physical store, getting the perfect size and desired styles. Any discrepancies between the physical product and the image provided by the shop could be reported and refunds could be demanded.

Not only that, but if five such discrepancies occurred, the shop owner would have to face hefty fines. If this happened ten times, they would be banned from running a shop in this space. Furthermore, Eve Morrison’s system tied into individuals’ credit systems. With the current advancements in technology, maintaining a solid credit system in all industries was essential.

If you did something that affected your credit, sorry, restoring your credit could be ten times harder than ruining it. Not only did shop owners face these challenges, but it also tested many users, especially since this space strictly prohibited activities like credit laundering.

This was essentially a godsend for all online buyers- these strict measures, particularly the authenticity of product descriptions, made many shop owners hesitate, although some dared to take the leap. These courageous businesses quickly found out they made the right decision.

The first wave of businesses operating in this system faced a tremendous amount of pressure because all fakes were exposed here. Still, Wealthy Babe was one place where people were aware of the overall situation. As a result, not many businesses were initially willing to venture in. However, a few brave businesses, despite the risk of selling counterfeit products, discovered something surprising.

Things didn’t pan out as expected. First, people were attracted to the authentic descriptions of the product, which set customers’ minds at ease. The sales they made here were multiple times what they made on their internet shops.

These brave business owners instantly became wealthy. As for the customers, because they knew what they were buying beforehand, there were fewer complaints about product quality. This led to a more relaxed trading experience for both seller and buyer.

At the start, everything was calm. However, as more shops started to appear, businesses that didn’t join in suddenly lost their customers – even if they were selling authentic products and did not want to get involved. This resulted in a plummet in their sales, as guests would question if they had a shop in the second-world and if the answer was no they’d instantly lose a potential sale. Because they weren’t part of this virtual system, customers didn’t know if their products were genuine or counterfeit.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Poor shop owners couldn’t do anything, even if their shops had official certifications like Tmall-recognition it didn’t help. The certifications within this second-world were more trusted- the scanner system was too accurate. It could analyze even the materials used in the product, making it nearly impossible to keep secrets.

Shop owners couldn’t argue that they were selling genuine products or that they had official authorizations because it wouldn’t make a difference. The only question customers asked was, “if you have all these official authorizations, why don’t you open a shop in the second-world and let your products be scanned by the system?” If shop owners weren’t willing to comply, it indicated a problem with their products. Shoppers nowadays were very dogmatic. These shop owners had no other option but to set up a shop in the second-world. If they didn’t act fast, all their loyal customers would be gone in no time. Now, due to the number of false and unauthentic products unveiled in the second-world, many people only trusted products sold there.

As a result, these shops had no option but to relocate their businesses into this system.

If you thought this was only the beginning, imagine the situation when companies like Flying Horse started moving their websites into the second-world, where many features they couldn’t achieve before could now be achieved. For example, a car company’s official website in the past only provided an overview of interiors, the look, the specifications, and pricing information.

However, the new official website was different. You could virtually try out cars as if you were playing a car racing game. The only difference was that here you could truly experience the drive, try out different maps, and test the cars.

In sum, while the initial phase did not have many websites, most of these sites were relatable to a large number of people. Many gamers initially joined only because they were attracted by the games, but little by little, they started to spend less time playing games and more time browsing these websites and shopping. Before long, even those with zero interest in games started buying these glasses just to visit websites and go virtual shopping.

At this point, the correctness of Finn Lewis’s previous decision was truly reflected. If the price of these glasses had been high, not everyone could have been able to afford it. However, at 300 Flame Nation coins, they were incredibly affordable and could have been found in the hands of even the destitute on the streets.
