Angor could understand Jon's concern.
The wizarding world was not a modern society. Civilizations had different origins and natures. It was obviously inappropriate to copy everything according to the free and open environment of Earth.
Personally, Angor preferred to limit the creation of the chat group first. If there was an opportunity, he would gradually open it up.
Just as Chown had said, if they gave too much at one time, the tone would be pulled to the top. The audience would only think that all the functions were natural and would not cherish them if they were left alone.
Therefore, he decided to limit the use of the chat group first. If there were more users in the future, he would slowly open it up. Perhaps the chat group would also become a part of the chain of exchange.
Angor told Jon his idea. He did not force Jon to change it. It was only his opinion. It was better to wait for more feedback from the users before making a decision.
Jon agreed. He wanted to see the feedback first.
After talking about the new content, Jon began to talk about his other purpose. He wanted to discuss the next update of the tree group and the direction of the Mother Tree Forum.
Originally, the iterative updates of the tree group and the forum were all within Chown's business scope, and he already had a preliminary plan for the content of the updates. However, the development of the Mother Tree Network was 20% based on the development team's ability, while 80% was based on Angor's permission.
Currently, the development team was doing its best, but the management authority of the Mother Tree Network was not given yet.
This was why Jon needed to discuss with Angor.
"As far as I'm concerned, the most lacking thing in the surface network is the ability to embed pictures," Jon said.
"The editing of avatars, the use of emotes, and beautifying the page all require the support of art materials. However, avatars and emoticons aren't that important. The reason why I'm bringing up the image function first is because of the professional nature of the forum's topics, which require images. "
"For example, in the book I compiled, Leona would often leave a comment asking me questions and suggestions for changes. If it's a simple question, I can still express it in words, but it's hard to describe the changes to the drawings. Plus, the style of the new city is completely different from the style of the wizarding world, so Leona often couldn't understand my description. It's better to express it in pictures, it's more intuitive."
Jon already told Angor about the image function. Angor also learned about it from the Mother Tree of Civilization and confirmed that it was possible.
Moreover, there was more than one way to express it.
For example, just like inputting words, he could control it with his consciousness and draw whatever he wanted. For example, it was also feasible to "shoot" a real pattern through the branch powder in the mother tree connector and upload it to the surface network.
However, he was still hesitating about which mode to use.
Controlling one's consciousness was naturally more convenient. However, if one wanted to use their consciousness to paint, it required a very high level of mental expression. Most humans could imagine a picture, a scene, or a landscape in their minds, but they usually focused on the overall outline and a few key areas.
It was very difficult for ordinary people to fully express all the details of the scene.
Take the new city for example. The new city had countless buildings stacked on top of each other. Almost all of the buildings had different brick patterns, window shapes, and even ventilation ducts. There were at least a million details to pay attention to in the general layout of the new city.
Could an ordinary person imagine everything with their consciousness?
It was very difficult.
Apart from controlling one's consciousness, the second method was to use the branch powder of the Mother Tree to perceive the real pattern through "physical" means. This was similar to the camera function in the hologram tablet, which recorded the scene in real time and captured all the details. It was the most realistic and comprehensive way.
Angor personally preferred this method. However, there were some aspects of consciousness painting that could not be replaced. For example, if he wanted to show an imaginary scene by shooting it, he would have to draw it himself first and then shoot it. However, he could use consciousness painting to quickly compose the picture in his mind, which was much faster.
Which method should he use? Or should he use both at the same time?
He considered and decided to let Jon make the decision.
He told Chown the pros and cons of both methods. Chown pondered for a moment and replied, "If we can use the Mother Tree Interconnect to film, then we'll use this method first. Consciousness painting obviously requires more skill. In the future versions, it can be customized and updated for high-end talents who can use this method. "
After confirming his choice, Angor controlled the tree civilization to release the relevant administrative permissions.
However, this was only the release of the relevant permissions. If they wanted to apply it to the surface network, Jon and his development team would need to carry out research and optimization.
It was like opening an exit in a sealed maze. If someone wanted to leave the maze, he or she would still have to find the exit himself.
"The current version focuses on the friend function and private chat function. In the next version, we can use pictures as the theme and create a series of functions." After deciding on the next step, Jon brought up some problems with the current version, hoping that Angor could solve them.
For example, the Dream Plant Sprites would visit the Mother Tree Forum from time to time.
Most Dream Plant Sprites were simple-minded and did not have much interest in the surface network. However, it was still inconvenient for them to show up all of a sudden. At least for the sake of privacy, they had to be solved quickly.
Angor already knew about this and had a plan.
There were only two ways to solve this problem. First, isolate the surface network from the Mother Tree Network, and second, make it harder for the surface network to enter the immersive network.
Angor chose the second option. He did not plan to isolate the surface network completely. Jon mentioned a "Root Server" before.
The Mother Tree Network could not always rely on him to issue management permissions. He thought about it and planned to build a root server in the depths of the Mother Tree Network, which was the immersive network, to manage the permissions of the surface network, according to what Jon said.
By then, as long as it did not affect the Mother Tree Network, Jon could go to the Root Server and do whatever he wanted.
After making up his mind, Angor discussed with Jon about the future of the Mother Tree Network.
Jon also asked Angor to publish some research or training notes on the forum when he was free. This would increase the credibility of the Mother Tree Forum and attract more people to join.
Angor agreed. He would publish it when he had time.
With that done, Angor and Jon stopped chatting.
Just as he was about to log off, he heard a string sound coming from the Mother Tree Interconnect again. He thought Jon was looking for him again, but when he checked his phone, he saw that it was a friend request.
Sender: Revenant's Redemption
Angor was a little surprised when he saw the name.
Naturally, he knew who this name represented. It was Ness Byron.
Angor was surprised to see a "net name" in an era when all the users of the tree groups used their real names.
Although this online name was actually Ness's nickname, the moment this name appeared, it immediately stood out from the others' real names and formed a school of its own.
"I didn't think Ness would learn the true meaning of online names so soon …" Angor chuckled and added Ness as a friend.
An unread message popped up on the interface of the tree groups.
Revenant's Redemption: "Slate … Slate … I want a slate …"
It was only a few words, but Angor sensed Ness' strong emotions behind them.
"Are you alright?" Angor asked.
A moment later, a new bubble popped up. "I'm fine. I've been working on the slate for days, so I'm a little tired."
"Do you want to take a break?"
Ness quickly sent out a new message. "No! I think I'm almost done. I want a new slate now. "
Angor considered for a moment before agreeing. He returned to reality and pulled a new slate into the dream wasteland. It was rare for Ness to be so serious about his research.
As soon as the new slate arrived, Ness's bubble went quiet. Angor guessed that the next time it popped up would be when Ness asked for a new slate.
Angor shook his head and logged out of the dream wasteland.
…
While Gondola was still flying, Angor stretched his body and opened his eyes.
"Where are we now?" Angor noticed that Loga was staring at him, which made the atmosphere a little awkward, so he decided to break the silence.
"We've just left the third defense line." Loga was still observing Angor's reaction. "Mister Padt, were you … taking a nap?"
Angor understood why Roca could keep his eyes open and close while resting. Roca also took out a strange conch and a stone tablet.
There were too many things that needed to be explained, and it was related to the Mystery item and the dream wilderness. He did not know how to explain it, so he said, "Yes, I'm resting."
"Then …"
"I was sleepwalking," Angor insisted.
Loga didn't know what to say. He didn't believe Angor's words, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Dankros wasn't as sensitive as Loga. He also felt that Angor's behavior was a little strange, but that wasn't important. The most important thing right now was to get on Toby's good side while Toby was still awake.
Angor sighed in relief after dealing with Loga's question. He looked at the direction they were heading and ordered Gondola to accelerate.
According to Loga, after leaving the central area of the Wild Stone Wasteland, there would be three major lines of defense. Each line of defense would have a garrison and a large number of patrols, turning the Wild Stone Wasteland into a stone fortress.
After witnessing the strength of the guardians and patrollers, as well as the stone creatures, Angor couldn't help but wonder if he could reach the core area by brute force without using Insignia's Earth Mark.
Probably, but he would have to pay a great price.
This was only the Wild Stone Wasteland, but he could already see how terrifying the elemental creatures were. If he had entered an area similar to the Glittering Mountain Range, it would probably be several times more difficult to find their monarch and sage.
Another four hours later, Angor finally reached the last defense line.
It didn't sound long, but Gondola's speed was more than enough for him to travel from the far north to the far south of the Old Earth.
From this, one could tell that this continent was huge. Even the inconspicuous Wildstone Wasteland was as big as the entire Old Earth.
Angor crossed the last defense line and arrived at the border. He could already see the wavy golden sand dunes in the distance.
"Mister Padt, the sky above Tusk Desert is a no-fly zone. Unless you're accompanied by an earth elemental creature, you'll be seen as a provocation to Tusk Desert."
Before Angor could complain about Roca's nonsense, Roca continued, "Don't worry if you're not discovered. However, the Fang-Pulling Desert was filled with flying sand and rocks. These were all the eyes of the sand creatures, so it was difficult not to be discovered. It's better to follow the rules and enter from the ground. "
"They won't attack me if I enter from the ground?"
Loga said, "If Mister goes in alone, he will definitely be stopped. But compared to taking the aerial route, it will make them feel less threatened. Even if you report this to the sage, as long as you can explain it to them, they'll let you go. "
Of course, that was if Angor went alone. Now that Loga was with him, as long as the sage recognized his identity, he wouldn't be bothered too much.
Angor considered for a moment and decided to follow Loga's suggestion.
Every realm had its own rules. Since he wasn't going to fight against Tusk Desert, it was better for him to follow them.
When they were about to reach the edge of the desert, Angor lowered Gondola and entered by land.
It was already dusk.
The temperature in Tusk Desert was dropping rapidly. Every few steps he took, he could feel the temperature around him dropping even further.
When they reached the border of Tusk Desert, the temperature was already close to zero.
The temperature was acceptable for both Angor and Loga, but it was unbearable for Dangros.
Dankros' entire hand was curled up by the cold, and his fingers were trembling as well.
Angor quickly communicated with Elmi telepathically.
In the shadow world that could not be seen, the blue lantern above Elmi's head shook slightly. In an instant, a shield of flames appeared near where Dangros was.
Under the protection of the fire, Dankros slowly returned to his normal size.
While Dankros was recovering, a quicksand vortex suddenly appeared in a sand dune in front of them.
While they were still on guard, a dandelion-like demigod crawled out of the sand.
