It was a quiet night, a rare day without rain in the past few days. Although there were still a lot of clouds, but occasionally the starry sky could still be seen through the clouds. Therefore, Lin set up the monocular that he had painstakingly built.
During the stargazing days, the two apprentices would take turns to brew a pot of purple bell tea and bring it to the stargazing platform on the third floor. It was a drink from the elves, known to refresh the mind.
In fact, it wasn't on the same level as Earth's tea or coffee. Lin drank it as if it were water. But there was no tea or coffee here. As a heavy caffeine addict, it was better than nothing.
Today, a brown-skinned girl with black hair and two long braids hanging on her shoulders came up. Her face was still expressionless. According to the classification of 2D otakus, she was a mouthless girl.
She just came up. After Lin took his first sip of tea, he put down the cup and asked: "Have you settled down the guests today?"
Standing to the side, the girl who didn't get any instructions to leave replied faintly: "They've settled down, Teacher. They'll spend the night in the restaurant, but they're now on the forum. " When the shopping mall went online, the terminal equipment provided to the guards in the restaurant as compensation was not removed. Sometimes the two girls would use it, but now it was free for the guests to use.
"… The others take turns bathing in the outdoor hot spring. Hallumi told them the rules. "
Thinking of the afternoon, Lin asked: "Kaya, have you been paying attention to the news on the forum?"
"Yes, Teacher. Because I think it's quite interesting to see the news from all over the place in the chat area. Is that inappropriate? "The reason why the girl asked this question was because teachers were repulsed by the forum.
Although he didn't say it in front of his apprentices, but Lin never opened the forum page. During the day, he concentrated on coding and debugging, and at night, he observed the stars. On rainy nights, he continued his work during the day.
The other apprentice, Hallumi, had a restless temperament. In addition to her daily homework and meditation time, she ran around outside with the two dogs. Basically, when she opened the forum, she only looked at the Tower of the Great Sage's exclusive discussion area, where Lin assigned homework and self-study materials.
Therefore, Kaya felt a little uneasy about spending a lot of time on the forum. However, Lin did not reprimand the girl. Instead, he turned on the terminal on the observatory and showed her a calendar. "Download this software later. In the future, if you find something interesting, you can copy the content into this notebook. By default, it was arranged in chronological order, but it required additional input of a person's name and location. If there were any special items mentioned in the story, they could also be marked. In the future, it would be much more convenient to use this software to make inquiries. Why don't you try it out first and let me know if there are any problems? In short, you just have to remember that if things are to be recorded, there are five main points, which are people, time, place, and things. However, you can just treat this as something to pass the time after class. I won't force you to do it. You should focus on your studies as an apprentice. "
Kaya nodded as she listened to her teacher's explanation. Finally, she asked, "Can I tell Halumi about this?"
In the past, Lin had told the two girls about the importance of confidentiality. The intention was for outsiders, but the girl still asked about this kind of private matter. In this regard, Lin said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you tell Halumi, she can help. It's just that I don't think she has the patience to do these things. "
After thinking about it, Kaya nodded seriously in agreement with her teacher.
After the matter was explained, Lin was curious about another matter and asked, "Is there anything about me on the forum? Good or bad, just tell me. "
Kaya tilted her head and thought about her teacher's request for a moment before saying, "There isn't much related to teacher. It's mainly focused on the few spells that have been announced. Although everyone can use them, but it seems that no one has been able to change the structure behind them. – "
Although the Lost Earth World was protected by patents, but there were still some loopholes. Every time there was a rather practical and popular magic knowledge announced, it wouldn't be long before more modified magic was announced and competed for the market of selling magic knowledge. For example, it was claimed that the casting speed was faster, the power was greater, the duration was longer, and the consumption of magic power was lower. As long as there was a slight change, someone would put their surname on it and turn it over to the association.
Fortunately, the association still had some conscience. For Wizards who wanted to learn this knowledge, they would still tell them which magic was the source of the origin, and wouldn't strongly recommend the modified magic. Only if it really got a wide range of good reviews would it be mentioned. Of course, if the creator of the origin spell was too unpopular, it was common for people to make things difficult for them.
"– Most people complained that they wanted to set up their own forum, but they couldn't use it. They studied a lot of explanatory documents, but it seemed that there was no result. Many people criticized teacher for providing fake data, or for not fully announcing it. In the end, the president came forward to clarify for teacher, explaining the hierarchy of domain names. He also said that teacher's three spells, the structure behind them was comparable to that of a forbidden spell, and that the difficulty of learning it would be high, not low. Only then did the questioning voices subside slightly. But there are still many people who are dissatisfied. "
"Isn't that nonsense? In the online world, there is only one root DNS server, and the browser will first look for the Tower of the Great Sage. If others want to root to play, unless they play by themselves, they have to change the browser settings. If they want to use it on a large scale, they should obediently look for the upper domain name server to register. "
"But in order to prove his words, the president has set up an exclusive forum for the Sijia branch on the dotcom server. And forced all branch affairs to be carried out on the exclusive forum. Including the plan to put magic knowledge online, it is also implemented on the exclusive forum. And the speed of magic knowledge online on the original forum has slowed down. But in the chat area that visitors can also use, there are not many people. "
Lin was not surprised by this. In the past conversations with the president, he could more or less feel the strength of the other party's control of power, and certainly would not be willing to put the important information of the branch in a place he could not grasp.
But the most important wealth of the forum was the number of people, not the amount of knowledge. The latter was just to attract popularity, the most important thing was the group effect between people. And Lin kindly set the browser's homepage to the original forum page, and did not provide a way for others to change the homepage settings. So when the browser was opened and they saw the forum page, many people would take the initiative to enter the URL and enter the forum set up by others.
In addition, the people who used the forum now were not just the mages of the Sijia district. There were also adventurers, nobles, merchants, and other groups. These people would not be called by the association to change the social environment they were already used to. Not to mention that the two interfaces were exactly the same, there was no more convenience, and no other incentives. So the popularity of the original forum was higher than that of the Sijia branch, which was a predictable result.
After roughly understanding the current ecosystem of the Internet, Lin had no intention of continuing to go deeper. Instead, it was Kaya who asked, "Teacher, do you want to respond to those who scold you?"
"Girl, remember. In this world, the thing that is more wasteful of life than being in a daze is to respond to non-intellectual discussions with people on the Internet. Because they have already made up their minds, it is not something you can change with three or five lines of words. Even if it is an academic discussion, if the other party comes with the intention of challenging the school, then a reply with more words is superfluous. If it is face to face, if you can't convince the other party, you can still beat the other party until they are convinced. On the Internet, you have to hit the air. So don't pay attention to them, just do your own thing. "
Very seriously, he spoke of his years of experience on the Internet. Lin waved his hand and focused on his own business again. Recently, he had been racking his brains, thinking about how to improve the accuracy of the spectrum analyzer without electronic parts. He casually said to the girl behind him, "Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go down. You can go to the console and download the software just now. If there is nothing else, go to bed early. "
Lin didn't restrict the two girls too much about the permissions of the Magic Tower. Firstly, there was no need, and secondly, he didn't think that anyone would use their permissions to do bad things. Because of many of the control functions of the Magic Tower, Lin had long since broken away from the traditional way of the maze world and switched to designing with ideas from Earth.
These things weren't specifically taught how to use, and the natives of the maze probably wouldn't be able to figure it out for the first time.
But the girl didn't leave immediately after receiving the instructions. Instead, she looked at the things Lin was busy with. Although she didn't understand, her own teacher touched these things all day long, so she still asked, "Teacher, do you need help?"
"Help?" Lin turned to look at Kaya, and then followed her gaze to the simple spectrum analyzer in his hand. He couldn't help but smile and say, "You can't help with these things yet. Focus on the homework that magic apprentices should be familiar with first. If you really want to help me, that will be after you become official Mages. "
"Got it." With that, Kaya left quietly.
The next morning, after seeing off the red-eyed people of the Sword of Glory who looked like they didn't have enough sleep, Lin had thought that his original peaceful life would return. Unexpectedly, the Sword of Glory adventurer team was like the beginning. In the following days, the Tower of the Great Sage received guests from time to time.
