Shangluo returned his attention to the "meeting ceremony" just now. This meeting ceremony alone is very strange.
This is originally a "magic weapon" that requires true energy to be driven, and Jin Yiwei has one at his disposal. But the Taoist ancestor seemed to have known for a long time that Shangluo could not drive Qi, and also knew that Apollonia was here, so he left a place for Apollonia.
"Um..."
After many years, Shangluo picked up the phone familiarly.
This "mobile phone" is actually a touch screen, and the operation logic is all touch screen logic. But the bottom part is "stereotypically" equipped with physical buttons that are common in traditional mobile phones, making this thing look like a "stereotypically imaged" mobile phone, rather than some luminous glass.
There are many icons on this phone. In addition to Fetion in the center, there are also functions such as calculator, memo, camera, and settings. However, there is a phone icon underneath.
"Can this thing make a phone call? I don't even have a number, who should I call?"
[How about you try it first? 】
Just give it a try, it won't cost you any money anyway.
He pressed the phone-like icon——
"Du-du--"
"It got through? I didn't even press the number, why did it get through?" Before he finished speaking, a confused female voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Hey... who's calling you so early in the morning? Can't you send Fetion if something happens?"
"I am..."
"Huh? Are you new here? This phone line was just connected yesterday. You know where this is, right?"
"Are you Jinyiwei?"
"..." There was silence for a while on the other end of the phone, "Ah, are you the one Daozu wants to see?"
After confirming, there was a long "Oh——" from the other end of the phone.
"As expected, it's you... Then let me explain. Did you press the phone button on the Fetion brand? This is Jinyiwei's call transfer station. Although Jinyiwei can contact each other directly through Fetion, external calls can only be made from I'll transfer it here. You can call wherever you want. We have the authority to transfer it for you. You can even get through the red line phone that is directly connected to Constantinople. But you should not press randomly because I am the only operator. . Once you get through, the line is occupied. If someone else is in an emergency, they won’t be able to get through.”
"Oh, I see."
"Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I will hang up. I have to be on call at any time."
"Wait a minute, I have a little question - do I need to pay the phone bill?"
"Why are you asking Lu Huaiyang a question? It is true that there is no phone bill here, but you don't always use this place as your own phone like him. The phone bill is not that economical."
After making non-binding guarantees, Shangluo ended the conversation. Although he is not short of phone bills for the time being, the convenience of being able to make calls anytime and anywhere is really wonderful. It’s even better if it doesn’t cost any money.
"Why do I always feel weird using my mobile phone to call the reception desk... But this seems to reveal some interesting phenomena. Apollonia, have you noticed it? Just like a Qi practitioner's Qi cannot be released outside. .”
【Yes. The Qi practitioner's Qi cannot be released outside, and these communication systems called 'Fetion cards' cannot touch the public domain either. The emperor also said just now that their Fetion card doesn't even have a picture. You need to focus your spiritual consciousness on it to use your head as a display card. People without true energy obviously can't see anything. In other words, the information circulating in Fetion Cards is completely inward-looking and cannot be seen by anyone other than the Qi Practitioner - just like the Qi Practitioner's true energy cannot be released externally. 】
"But this one seems to work?"
[Because the nature of my power far exceeds the 'qi training period', I can certainly have an impact on the objective world. It's just that the current impact is relatively limited, and it can only light up such a small screen. It would be very troublesome if the screen were larger. 】
"Wait, if that's the case...have you made a gadget before? That playing card?"
Shangluo still remembered what Apollonia said at that time-it was essentially a prop used to perfunctory those British people. She made some small modifications to the deck of cards so that it could feed the Akashic records directly onto the cards in a "symbolic" way. In this way, all divination actions are initiated by the players, and there is no need to consume Apollonia's own phlogiston during the entire process. It is as energy-saving and environmentally friendly as a windmill.
[Ah...that makes sense, that makes sense. That one is really energy-saving and quite easy to use. Then I'll make another one. Wait, let me look for it... There is a compiler here, let me try it. 】
An additional icon appeared on the screen, loading from 1%, slowly turning from transparent to concrete...
puff
Just after reaching 11%, the icon disappeared.
"Not good?"
[Huh...huh...I'm so tired, I'm exhausted. This doesn't work well. It can't run without hardware support. Calling other real-life 'symbols' consumes too much phlogiston, which is simply too much to bear. 】
"What are the calling symbols? And playing cards are considered hardware?"
[That is something that exists in reality, and it is a gap that I cannot cross at the moment. Even if it's a small playing card, your 'act' of drawing a card can create ripples in the Akashic Records. This is something that only reality can do. If this entity does not exist in reality, I need to call, or hack into, this 'symbol' to replace the act of divination itself. This requires consuming a lot of phlogiston, and I simply can't do it now. 】
"How about this?" Shangluo opened Fetion, "See if you can put the question and answer function into Fetion. The running environment of Fetion should be deployed by Daozu. You can borrow the deployed environment and then Build a lightweight small program.”
[Hey, you're a fucking genius. Wait, let me try...]
After a brief pause, Apollonia completed the easy and simple task:
[Okay, but you need to do something. You open Fetion, and the super beautiful Apollonia sends you an identification code. Then use this ID to add contacts. 】
At some point, Apollonia actually added an avatar to herself in Fetion. A girl with black hair and eyes, holding a golden ball, stood on a music box, surrounded by tin soldiers and little swans. The huge clock stood out behind her like a halo, and her name was changed to "Super Beautiful Apollonia".
Shangluo...didn't know what to do. He did this, opened Apollonia's conversation string, and added a contact using an identification code she sent. A contact named "Akashic Records" appears in the address book with a default avatar.
[Okay, I made a small program that can directly connect to the Akashic Records, using the Fetion system that Daozu has already built. Now you can use Fetion's dialogue string to directly ask questions to the Akashic records, and it is different from the previous playing cards. The environment of Daozu's structure is much more advanced. You can directly see the answers in text form. You don't have to hold the pen awkwardly like before by 'making seals'... By the way, are we trying to drain Daozu's phlogiston like this? He won't be angry, right? 】
