The quiet night was a rare day without rain in the past few days. Although there were still a lot of clouds, occasionally one could still see the starry sky behind them from between the clouds, so Lin set up the monocular astronomical telescope that he had worked so hard to build.
On stargazing days, the two young apprentices would take turns making a pot of purple bell tea and bring it to the stargazing platform on the third floor. It was a drink from the elves, which was said to be refreshing.
In fact, whether it is tea or coffee from Earth, it is not at the same level. Lin drinks it just like drinking water. It's just that there is no tea or coffee here now. As a severe caffeine addict, I can only settle for nothing.
The one who came up today was a brown-skinned girl with black hair, with two long braids hanging on her shoulders. There was still no emotion on her face. According to the previous classification of two-dimensional otaku, this is a girl with a mouthless type.
Just as she came up, Lin took the first sip of tea, put down the cup, and asked, "Have the guests settled in today?"
The girl who stood aside and left without being instructed replied calmly: "Everything is settled, teacher. They will spend the night in the restaurant, but they are all on the forum now.──" When the mall went online, the girl opened the door to the restaurant in the restaurant The terminal equipment used by the escort team for compensation has not been removed. Sometimes the two girls use it, but now it's free for guests.
"──The others took turns to bathe in the open-air hot spring. Harumi told them the rules."
Thinking of what happened in the afternoon, Lin asked: "Kaya, are you paying attention to the news on the forum?"
"Yes, teacher. Because I think it's quite interesting to read the messages from various places in the chat area. Isn't this inappropriate?" the girl would ask. It is true that teachers are very reluctant to go to the forum.
Although he didn't say it clearly in front of his apprentices, Lin never opened the forum page. He concentrated on coding and debugging during the day and stargazing at night. On rainy nights, work continued during the day.
Another apprentice, Halumi, had a restless temper. Apart from daily homework and meditation time, he would run wildly outside with his two dogs. Basically, when she opened the forum, she could only look at the discussion area dedicated to the Tower of the Great Sage, which contained homework assigned by Lin and teaching materials for self-study.
So Kaya was a little uneasy about spending a lot of time on the forum. However, Lin did not blame the girl. Instead, he opened the terminal on the observatory, opened a calendar-like screen, and said, "Download this software later. If you find something interesting in the future, copy the content to This notepad. It defaults to using chronological arrangement, but you need to enter the person's name and location separately. If there are special items mentioned in the things, you can also mark them. If you want to query in the future, it will be much more convenient to use this software. You can use it first and tell me if there are any problems so that you can make modifications. In short, if you want to keep things as records, the focus should be on five items, that is, personnel, affairs, time, place, and objects. But this is just for you after class. Take it easy, just do something to pass the time. Don’t force me to do it, you are still focusing on your apprenticeship.”
Listening to her teacher's explanation, Kaya nodded while operating. Finally, she asked: "Can I tell Halumi about this?"
In the past, Lin had told the two girls about the importance of confidentiality. The original intention was to target outsiders, but the girl still asked about such matters that were explained alone. In this regard, Lin said with impunity: "It's okay to tell Halumi, it's okay if she wants to help. It's just that I don't think she can bear the temper to do these things."
After thinking about it, Kaya nodded seriously and agreed with the teacher's statement.
After the explanation of the matter was over, Lin was curious about another matter and asked: "Did anything about me be mentioned on the forum? It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. Just tell me."
Regarding her teacher's request, Kaya tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying: "It doesn't have much to do with the teacher. The main focus is on the few magic spells that have been announced. Although everyone can use it, the structure behind it seems to be No one can change it yet.──”
Although the world of Lost World is protected by patents, there are still some loopholes. Just like every time a very practical and popular magic knowledge is released, it won't be long before more revised magics are released, competing for the market of selling magic knowledge. For example, it is claimed that spell casting speed is faster, more powerful, lasts longer, and consumes less mana. As long as there is a slight change, someone will put their own surname on it and hand it over to the association.
Fortunately, the association still has some conscience. For magicians who want to learn this knowledge, they will still inform them of the original starting magic, but will not strongly recommend those modified magics. In addition to really getting a wide range of good reviews, it is possible to mention it incidentally. Of course, if the person who created the initial magic is too unpopular, it is common for him to be misled.
"──The most common complaint is that they want to set up their own forum, but they can't use it. They have studied a lot of documentation, but there seems to be no results. Many people criticize the teacher for providing false data or not fully publishing it. In the end, the president came forward to clarify for the teacher, explaining the hierarchical relationship of the domain name. He also said that the structure behind the teacher's three magics was comparable to the forbidden spell level magic, and the difficulty of learning was only higher but not lower, which made people question it. The outcry has subsided a little. But there are still a lot of people who are dissatisfied.”
"Isn't this nonsense? In the online world, there is only one root DNS, and the browser will first look for the Tower of the Great Sage. If other people want to use root to play, unless they play by themselves, they have to change the browser Settings. If you want to use it on a large scale, just register with the upper-level domain name server."
"However, in order to prove his words, the president has established an exclusive forum for the Xijia District branch on the .com server. He also forces all branch affairs to be conducted on the exclusive forum. Including the magic knowledge online plan, it is also in the exclusive forum The magic knowledge on the original forum has been online, and the increase has slowed down. However, there are not many people in the chat area that can also be used by visitors."
Lin was not surprised by this. In the past conversations with the president, I could feel the strong control of the other party's power, and he was definitely unwilling to put important information about the branch in a place that he could not control.
However, the most important asset of the forum is its people, not the amount of knowledge. The latter is just to attract popularity, the most important thing is the crowding effect between people. Lin kindly set the browser's homepage to the original forum page, and did not provide a method for others to change the homepage settings. So when you open the browser and see the forum page, how many people will take the initiative to enter the URL and enter the forum deployed by others.
In addition, the people who use the forum now are not just the magicians in Xijia District. There are also adventurers, nobles, businessmen and other groups. These people will not change the interpersonal environment they are accustomed to at the call of the association. Not to mention that the interfaces of the two are exactly the same, so there is no convenience or other incentives. Therefore, the popularity of the original forum is higher than that of the Xijia District branch forum, which is an understandable result.
After roughly understanding the current network ecology, Lin has no intention of going any further. Instead, Kaya asked: "Teacher, do you want to respond to those who scold you?"
"Girl, remember. The only thing in this world that is more wasteful of life than being in a daze is to respond to people on the Internet in non-intellectual discussions. Because they have fixed opinions, and you can't change them with just three or five lines of words. Even if it is In academic discussions, if the other party comes with the intention of kicking the class, then it is unnecessary to reply with many words. If you face to face, if you say you are not convinced, you can still beat the other party until he is convinced. On the Internet, you have to fight the air. So there is no need. Just ignore them and do your own thing."
I very seriously expressed my experience of being on the Internet for many years. Lin waved his hand and focused on his own affairs again. I have been racking my brains recently, thinking about how to improve the accuracy of a spectrum analyzer without electronic parts. He casually said to the girl behind him: "Okay, there's nothing else to do, you can go down. You can go to the console to download the software just now. If you have nothing to do, go to bed early."
Regarding the permission setting of the magic tower, Lin did not impose too many restrictions on the two girls. Firstly, it's not necessary, and secondly, I don't think anyone will use their authority to do bad things. Because of the control functions of many magic towers, Lin had long since gotten rid of the traditional methods of the Lost World, and instead used thinking from the earth to design.
There is no special instruction on how to use these things. Maybe the natives who are lost in the land will be confused when they come into contact with them for the first time.
However, the girl did not leave immediately after being instructed. Instead, she looked at what Lin was busy with. Although she couldn't understand it, her teacher had been touching it all day long. She still asked one more question: "Teacher, do you need help?"
"Help?" Lin turned to look at Kaya, and then followed her eyes to see the simple spectrometer in his hand. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You can't help with these. First, focus on what the magic apprentices should be familiar with. If you are really willing to help me, it will be after you become an official magician."
"I know." After saying that, Kaya left quietly.
The next morning, after seeing off the group of red-eyed people who looked like they had not had enough sleep, Lin originally thought that he would return to his original peaceful life. Unexpectedly, the Brilliant Sword Adventure Group was just the beginning. In the following days, the Tower of the Great Sage welcomed guests from time to time.
