That What, the Dealer is Dealing Cards Online

After hanging up the phone, Ji Qinglin was wide awake. He sat up and continued to study these software programs.

Currently, the Big Dipper Map was the one he had basically mastered.

However, he lacked the necessary movement techniques. Even if he had the Ladder Cloud Leap or Divine Travel Steps modules, his mobility would probably increase significantly.

But his body couldn't directly install them. He'd probably have to use Divine Sense Observation to watch others use lightness skills to learn them.

Since the Big Dipper Map couldn't be improved for now and he couldn't scan anything with Divine Sense Observation, Ji Qinglin could only focus his attention on the Cloud Qi Sea.

Based on his experience, a cloud drive was nothing more than a place to download and upload large amounts of data. What did this have to do with the Qi Sea? He vaguely remembered storing a lot of harmonious materials of men and women in his cloud drive back in the old days, but they were all deleted during the internet cleanup.

Using it for the first time, Ji Qinglin clicked "Register." Naturally, he wouldn't use his real name out of caution, so he casually wrote "Huang Silang" in the nickname field.

But after clicking register, it prompted him to bind his personal ID number. Ji Qinglin first entered a 15-digit ID number from Bangkok.

"Sorry, your ID format is incorrect."

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Qinglin tentatively filled in the 18-digit ID number he had memorized from his previous life.

"Congratulations, registration successful!"

This "phone" was indeed a product of the old era.

If so, I'm afraid that only the old him could use things related to it.

In other words, only he could be considered a user for this program.

The Qi Sea Cloud Drive gradually opened, the simple interface background was filled with white clouds.

The empty homepage only had the words "Connect Qi Sea."

Unable to find any instructions, Ji Qinglin tentatively clicked it, and a first-time use prompt appeared in front of him.

"Please sit in a quiet and flat place, click confirm when ready."

Ji Qinglin closed the door, turned around, and sat on the old sofa. He took a deep breath and clicked "Confirm."

Immediately afterward, Ji Qinglin noticed that everything in front of him gradually dimmed. However, the lights in the room themselves didn't change, so it was clear that the Qi Sea Cloud Drive connected to his body was giving his senses a special feeling.

Until the surroundings completely turned into darkness, Ji Qinglin felt as if his body was floating in the universe.

Soon, a light appeared above and to his front. Looking up, he discovered that it was actually a liquid shining with dazzling light, like the golden light of the setting sun shining on a river, rushing towards him.

The liquid rushed down like a waterfall from top to bottom. Ji Qinglin subconsciously used his hands to block it.

However, when the liquid reached him, it suddenly split into two rivers, flowing past both sides of his body without touching him.

What exactly was this? With curiosity, Ji Qinglin tried to touch it with his hand. The dazzling liquid rippled when his finger touched it, and then Ji Qinglin noticed that his finger had also turned into that state.

He picked it up and examined it carefully. The light on his finger was still changing, as if a curved screen phone was wrapped around his finger.

Moreover, the resolution of this fingertip was not low. The small modules covering the skin of his finger contained different content, including text, pictures, and even videos.

This was data!

The sea-like infinite data carried on the cloud drive!

Ji Qinglin wanted to identify it carefully, but he could only vaguely see some simple text:

"Sexy dealers, dealing cards online," "Late-night live broadcasts, video chats"... Hiss, this was ancient data from his era.

Just as he was thinking about how to use this data, a program usage prompt popped up in front of him:

1. You can absorb the Qi energy from the Sea of Data in the cloud drive by meditating or raising your hands. The data Qi energy will be distributed to your body in a scientific proportion.

2. The data Qi energy in the absorbed Qi Sea cannot be regenerated after it is released and can only be reabsorbed.

3. The speed at which the body absorbs and the amount of data Qi energy will continuously increase with the number of absorptions.

4. The data Qi energy can be released through the body and can destroy the opponent's built programs or original database.

Hiss——

Looking at the explanation, Ji Qinglin gasped.

This was data?

If this was in a martial arts world, wouldn't this be called inner strength? And in the world of cultivation, it would be more appropriate to call it Qi.

Although he hadn't installed those cultivation components, he had studied the principles of many cultivation methods.

If he directly used his palm to release data, destroying the opponent's cultivation module or original database, it would be no different than shattering their meridians with a single palm strike.

He wondered if he could use it to harm people. Logically, since it was a program, it should have complete protection measures to prevent him from using it for evil.

But for him, it probably didn't matter, because as far as this program was concerned, only he, a remnant of the old era, was considered a user. The identities and personalities of others probably couldn't be recognized by it.

He just didn't know if this data had other uses, or if it could be converted into specific cultivation methods.

Thinking this, Ji Qinglin slowly raised his arms according to the instructions in the program, and the streams of data flowing from both sides of his body were intercepted by his hands and began to pour into his body.

Although it was just data, flowing over his body gave him the feeling of clear water washing over him.

In the upper right corner of the program, there were ten white figures, which seemed to be the upper limit of data absorption.

His body also began to be covered with all kinds of information, just like his fingers, but Ji Qinglin never let down his guard.

If he could just keep filling himself up like this, there wouldn't have been such detailed usage tips just now.

Thinking of this, Ji Qinglin tried to move his body, but found that his body, wrapped in those streams of data, was like being encased in a layer of cement, making movement very difficult.

Sensing the abnormality, Ji Qinglin immediately lowered his arms and stopped absorbing the streams of data.

As the absorption stopped, the chaotic data streams on his body also began to slowly subside.

The messy data streams on his body also began to slowly categorize and sort themselves, becoming more organized, and the feeling of blocked movement gradually disappeared.

Ji Qinglin then understood: he could absorb data from the Sea of Data to fill himself, but those forces were chaotic and disordered. After absorbing a certain amount, he had to adjust his breathing and sort them out before he could transform them into his own.

After several consecutive attempts, Ji Qinglin basically figured out how to use the program.

Just like a cultivator, he would stretch out his arms to the sky to breathe in and out, and then sit cross-legged on the bed to adjust his breathing, slowly transforming more and more data into his own.

Although he hadn't had the opportunity to actually use it yet, Ji Qinglin could already feel the strange heaviness in his body after absorbing a large amount of data.

Whether it was because he had finally found a method of cultivation, or because this Cloud Qi Sea could also eliminate fatigue, Ji Qinglin didn't rest all night, continuously absorbing the data within, until the eastern sky turned white.

This wave clearly introduces the function, and the next chapter will start the plot properly.
