Brilliant!

There were about a hundred jade talismans in total, each of which had a faint spiritual light flickering within it. The presence of spiritual light indicated that the talismans had been successfully crafted without any problems.

Dan Chengzi chuckled, "It seems my alchemy skills have improved quite a bit. Even in crafting artifacts, I'm starting to see the difference..."

"..."

Lin Fan ignored him and instead took a piece to examine it closely.

Strictly speaking, these Sound Transmission Jade Talisman are all ' Child Talisman ' and cannot be directly connected with other ' Child Talisman '; they can only connect with the ' Mother Talisman '.

The 'mother and child' are also easy to distinguish.

In short, a certain cultivator crafted numerous jade talismans and distributed them to his friends, allowing them to contact him through the talismans.

However, these friends cannot contact each other using their jade talismans.

This is the difference between 'child and mother'.

Mother Talisman can connect to Child Talisman, but Child Talisman can only connect to its Mother Talisman.

These hundred or so jade talismans are all Child Talisman; as for the Mother Talisman, it is naturally controlled by the Artifact Spirit the Sky Gazing Mirror.

From then on, it functioned as a server, responsible for processing information between numerous Child Talisman, enabling these Child Talisman to communicate with each other...

This was the prototype of the Internet.

Although the functions are limited, and the only usable function at present is communication, this is just a test. Once it is successful, Lin Fan will continue to find ways to improve it and add various functions.

Once the features are nearly complete, it will be time to start promoting it throughout the entire holy land.

As for the entire Cultivation World?

Lin Fan was also undecided at this moment. He only had a superficial understanding of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, let alone the entire Holy Land. It was one of the most foolish things for Blind Ji to make a grand plan.

We'll talk about the specifics later.

Things will work themselves out when they reach the bridge.

"Give it a try, and hopefully it will work."

Lin Fan poured his True Essence into the jade talisman, Sound Transmission Jade Talisman instantly lit up, creating a hazy, beautiful effect.

All of this seems much simpler than developing the internet today, but in reality, it is far, far more difficult.

The Imperial Sky Gazing Mirror, and its Artifact Spirit... that alone is enough to make 99.99999% of people not even dare to dream of it.

Even now, Lin Fan cannot guarantee 100% success.

Because the 'data interaction' between the Child Talisman and the Mother Talisman is definitely not a problem, but the interaction between Child Talisman Child Talisman, although the Artifact Spirit acts as a 'server' to relay the data, still needs to distinguish who each Child Talisman represents...

This is extremely difficult!

The only way to distinguish the subtle differences in each person's True Essence is through the Artifact Spirit, and then to match them up...

Can she do it?

Lin Fan was unaware.

Now is the time to test whether the Artifact Spirit of the Sky Gazing Mirror is as powerful as the legends say.

"Take one and try it."

Lin Fan spoke.

Dan Chengzi didn't hesitate; he took a piece and infused it with his True Essence.

Immediately, Lin Fan activated the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, summoning Dan Chengzi ...

Beep beep beep.

A very familiar QQ notification sound came from the jade talisman in Dan Chengzi's hand, and Lin Fan was delighted.

"Initial test successful!"

After the beeping sound, because Dan Chengzi was still focused on the True Essence, the 'communication' was established!

"Your Highness?"

He spoke, but his own voice came from the jade talisman in Lin Fan's hand, startling him. "This???"

"Can the Child Talisman also transmit sound to each other?"

"But Your Highness, this doesn't seem... necessary, does it?"

In Dan Chengzi's view, it is not difficult to make the Child Talisman also have the function of transmitting sound to each other, but it is unnecessary, so no one has developed it.

"Unnecessary? Absolutely necessary!"

Lin Fan slowly shook his head, and his words also came from the jade talisman in Dan Chengzi's hand.

"Etc!"

Dan Chengzi's expression changed drastically; he stared at the jade talisman in his hand as if he'd seen a ghost. "This...???? This isn't a telepathic message, but...????"

How would you describe this phenomenon?

He couldn't understand...

Instant messaging.

Lin Fan's lips curled up slightly.

This function doesn't feel like the internet; it's more like an old cell phone that only has the ability to make calls.

But... this is just one of its functions.

"Next, let's try transmitting the image!"

After Lin Fan disconnected his True Essence, he poured it back in and activated the ' Image Recording ' function in the formation.

However, with the help of the Artifact Spirit, this was not Image Recording, but a 'video chat'!

And it's 3D video chat!

After Dan Chengzi connected, miniature 3D images of the two appeared on the jade talisman. Although they were only a few inches long, they were exactly the same as the two people in real life at that moment!

"How are things now?"

Qi Zixiao spoke, her voice emanating almost simultaneously from her mouth and the jade talisman. Even the 'little man' seemed to be opening its mouth, as if it were speaking directly, leaving Dan Chengzi feeling as if he had seen a ghost.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you???"

"As you can see."

Seeing Dan Chengzi's genuine shock, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile.

It's done!

At least for now, it's a success.

As for whether it has been successfully completed, it still needs to be tested. Since only Lin Fan and Dan Chengzi are currently using the jade talisman, the Artifact Spirit should not need to determine who is who; it only needs to exchange the data between the two in real time.

With a large number of users, is it still possible to accurately find the person the user wants to contact?

Or, with a large amount of data, will the Artifact Spirit still be able to transmit data accurately and in real time?

Thinking of all this, Lin Fan couldn't help but glance at the seemingly ordinary and simple Sky Gazing Mirror at his waist, only to find that it remained as simple and unadorned as ever, as if nothing had happened.

"It seems that one-to-one data transmission poses almost no burden on the Artifact Spirit. Therefore, it's time to test it again..."

Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Dan Chengzi, take ten jade talismans, send one to the Divine Calculator, and distribute the rest to your trusted fellow disciples."

"I will conduct a series of tests later, and you can also test each other. You are familiar with the formations involved. To contact someone, simply recite their name in your mind while infusing your True Essence. Of course, this is on the premise that the other party has a jade talisman."

A hundred or so yuan, if distributed all at once, would be enough for the 'first closed beta test'.

However, Lin Fan did not plan to make things too extravagant from the start. Dan Chengzi would take a dozen or so pieces, and with the addition of the Protector Disciple, that would be enough to complete the first closed beta test.

As for why the Divine Calculator was given a piece...

Cough cough, Lin Fan was afraid he might do something rash, after all, he had Supreme Void Refining Pill, the Heaven and Earth Grand Deduction Art, and he was even tricked by that Tigress into practicing the Fiery Eyes of Truth...

"Your Highness, rest assured, Dan Chengzi will complete the mission with his life."

Dan Chengzi slapped his large chest so hard it made a loud thud.

Lin Fan: "..."

"I'll be going now."

With a wave of his long sleeves, numerous Sound Transmission Jade Talisman instantly flew into the already opened Storage Bag. Then, Lin Fan left the Alchemy Room and headed towards Bright Moon Peak.

After Lin Fan left, Dan Chengzi clicked his tongue in amazement, his face full of astonishment.

"What big commotion is Your Highness planning this time?!"

"First came the heavenly bestowal of merit and the Sky Gazing Mirror, but now it seems..."

"However, this Sound Transmission Jade Talisman is really good; it can even let you see what the other person is doing."

"What if I were to communicate with Junior Sister Yun while she was bathing..."

"Wonderful!!!!!"

Dan Chengzi's squinting eyes were filled with excitement, and then he ran off to distribute the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman.

High in the sky, Lin Fan was lost in thought.

"Speaking of which, the Artifact Spirit doesn't even have a name yet, and it's just been Artifact Spirit Artifact Spirit ' all along, which is a bit too awkward."

Then, this fellow picked up the Sky Gazing Mirror and called out, "Senior."

"What is it?"

The woman's face appeared on the mirror.

"You don't remember who you are, but it's not very friendly to keep calling you Artifact Spirit, so perhaps..."

"Mo Daolin call me A Wu."

He said, "Since I don't remember anything, this name is perfect."

"A Wu?"

Lin Fan nodded. "I've got it."

A Wu was about to disappear, Lin Fan spoke again, "By the way, Sister A'Wu, how much of a burden was the information processing and coordination you were dealing with just now?"

"A Wu... Sister?"

A Wu was momentarily dazed, then said, "It's so boring."

"If it's just something like what you're dealing with, I can easily spare a sliver of my attention to handle hundreds of thousands, or even more, of information interactions at the same time."

"Amazing, no wonder Sister A'Wu!"

This guy has a sweet tongue and is very happy.

After all, it's always good to be sweet-talking, right?

Moreover, one can control the interaction of hundreds of thousands of messages with just a wisp of mind, without even having to manage it.

This is practically a supercomputing-level server!!!

"If there's nothing else, I'll take a rest."

"Sister A'Wu, do you need to rest?"

"It's so boring not being able to get out. The only thing I do on weekdays is sleep, which makes time pass faster."

A Wu's expression was calm, as if he had long been used to all of this, but Lin Fan felt a chill run down his spine.

According to Qi Zixiao, A Wu was created by the founder of the Purple Mansion Holy Land and used as the Artifact Spirit the Sky Gazing Mirror. In other words, she has been trapped for countless millennia.

With such superb intelligence and 'computing ability', she was trapped inside the Sky Gazing Mirror. If she had more memories, she would probably have gone mad long ago.

It's terrifying to even think about!

"Excuse me..."

A Wu disappeared and the Sky Gazing Mirror returned to normal, Lin Fan felt a pang of fear...

As Lin Fan hung it back on his waist, another thought came to mind.

That is, although A Wu is now the 'server' system, in reality, she is still different from the real system. The most obvious difference is that if she wants, A Wu can modify everything according to her own requirements!

Simply put, it means that you can even modify various things while chatting.

Then...

I should also be able to check other people's chat history through A Wu...

"Ahem, that's a bit unethical."

"But... I usually don't need to use it, right? Hmm... I usually don't use it."

Actually, don't those service providers and telecom operators also have similar capabilities? For example, chat logs... Do they really think Tencent can't see them?

It's just that they don't want to watch it at all.

Lin Fan now also has this 'privilege'.

It's time for another 10 updates!

With my wives doing a great job, I can't let Huan Yan down either. I said I'd update with 30,000+ words, and I mean 30,000+ words!

Also... I'd like to humbly ask everyone for their guaranteed monthly votes.

Just a heads up, the later episodes are going to be really fun, extremely fun, hehe.
