[Short Videos + Cross-Time Trading + Knowledge-Based Dimensional Supremacy]
An overworked video content moderator loses his job, and his phone mutates. The short videos he scrolls through are no longer ordinary content, but real-time “livestreams” and “recordings” connected to the Myriad Worlds. He can watch:
A cultivation expert's daily alchemy routine (disastrous furnace explosions caused by clumsy hands).
Mecha battles on an interstellar battlefield (filmed like a war correspondent's footage).
A magic apprentice practicing spells (mistake after mistake).
Palace secrets from an ancient dynasty (playing out in real time).
And even... the whispers of certain indescribable beings (block with caution).
The fun: Information is power! Knowledge is wealth! He repackages basic alchemy techniques from the cultivation world as “ancient wellness secrets” and sells them to the rich as a way to prolong their lives. He turns civilian material formulas from an interstellar civilization into “cutting-edge technology” for a startup. He markets a magic apprentice's cleaning spell as a “superpowered cleaning service.”
Cross-time “sales” and trade: He swaps a bag of spicy strips for low-grade spirit stones from the cultivation world (the experts find them novel). He trades popular songs recorded on his phone for low-level scrolls from the magic world. He uses hunger-marketing tactics to sell Earth's local specialties, like cola and potato chips, throughout the Myriad Worlds.
Spoilers and foreknowledge to pose as an oracle: He spots a villain's conspiracy in a martial arts world and anonymously posts a “prediction” that comes true, earning a reputation as a fortune-teller. He notices a crucial mistake in a business magnate's decision and gets ahead of it
