Douluo: Neighbor San Comes to My House to Use the Wi-Fi

"What meal, what master?" With Bibi Dong's Martial Soul Avatar active, her hearing was still quite sharp.

"Oh, I meant that once I finish absorbing this, we'll go back to eat. I'm a bit hungry." Nan Xuan casually made up an excuse to brush it off.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong didn't dwell on it further. In any case, this guy said nonsense she couldn't understand every day, and she couldn't manage that much.

A few hours later.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Network Mirror." Nan Xuan shouted, his entire body enveloped in black soul power. Then, his martial soul transformed into the Death Spider Emperor, and he even activated his Martial Soul Avatar.

Bibi Dong covered her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"How about it? Now I have as many legs as you do. Still worried about anything?" Nan Xuan looked at Bibi Dong and said with a smile.

Bibi Dong was truly moved; Nan Xuan was just too good to her.

"Mm-hmm, not worried anymore." Bibi Dong said with a sobbing tone.

"Then didn't you waste a soul ring?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Oh, my wife, do you know what I do?" Nan Xuan looked into Bibi Dong's eyes and asked.

"An auxiliary-type soul master, doing logistics?" Bibi Dong asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Nan Xuan's face darkened. Seriously, thanks a lot.

"I work with networks, the Network World. All my soul skills are used for that world, but combined with the characteristics of my martial soul, I can use them myself too. By then, I'll be invincible." Nan Xuan finished patiently, then laughed out loud.

Bibi Dong didn't understand what Nan Xuan had just said, but that didn't stop her from nodding.

The two finished their mission in the Extreme North and, after spending a week, returned to Holy Soul Village.

"Ah, it's still most comfortable at home." Nan Xuan lay on the bed and said, relaxing.

"Hurry up and get up to take a shower, don't dirty the quilt." Bibi Dong tidied up the luggage in a very virtuous manner, unlike Nan Xuan, who just lay down.

"Fine, then I'll reluctantly go wash up, but we're going together." Nan Xuan picked up Bibi Dong in a bridal carry and brought her to the bathroom. The door closed, ahem.

Spring passed and autumn came; a year went by so fast. Bibi Dong had already obtained her seventh soul ring, and she planned to go to Slaughter City after some time.

"When exactly do you plan to leave?" Nan Xuan asked Bibi Dong while cooking.

"In a while. How about I wait until you get your seventh soul ring before I go?" Bibi Dong said in low spirits.

"That won't do. I'm doing this precisely so I don't delay the time you have left to spend with me." Nan Xuan brought the dishes over and kissed Bibi Dong on the face.

"Alright then, I won't bother with you. You aren't a proper auxiliary-type soul master anyway." Bibi Dong touched the cheek that had been kissed, sat down, and started picking food for Nan Xuan.

"Dong'er, I know you have your own ideas, but I have mine too. My idea is that the people I care about stay safe and sound." Nan Xuan put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Bibi Dong.

Then, Nan Xuan took a pile of items out of his Soul Tool.

"This is the Dark Night Dagger, very sharp."

"This is the Silk Soft Armor, for close-body protection."

"This is the Gold Silk Gloves..."

Nan Xuan introduced them to Bibi Dong one by one.

Bibi Dong didn't hesitate and put them directly into her Storage Necklace, because this was Nan Xuan's way of protecting her.

"Both of your martial souls have my spiritual imprint on them. This can keep you from being eroded by the aura of slaughter. At the same time, your ring contains my Seal Card. I've filled it with soul power and spiritual power; you can replenish it whenever you need." Nan Xuan explained everything, and he would monitor the outside; as soon as she appeared, he would go to pick her up.

Bibi Dong hugged him tightly. She didn't know how long it would be before she could return, but she would come back as soon as possible.

Bibi Dong had been at Slaughter City for a week. Nan Xuan had been very unaccustomed to it during this week, so he could only find things to do to keep himself from being so idle.

Nan Xuan planned to take stock of the general functions of the Network World now.

"Voice chat, real-time meetings, network Materialization." These were the updates from the first three times. Later, Nan Xuan became obsessed with a life of longing and didn't have any subsequent updates, but the users didn't decrease; instead, they kept increasing. Almost everyone on the Douluo Continent had a Net Card.

When making the Net Cards, Nan Xuan considered that commoners had no soul power, so he used spiritual power as the driver. Their "fee" was naturally spiritual power, which wouldn't have any impact on them because, under Nan Xuan's big data, they wouldn't be charged update fees, and it was almost free to use normally. Nan Xuan focused on gathering small amounts into a large sum.

As for soul masters, he charged for everything. If they couldn't use it, they saved it. They were charged spiritual power when entering the Network World and soul power when updating. It was full of positive energy, and since it wouldn't damage their cultivation level, it was almost all benefits with no drawbacks.

"It's been two years of silence. It's time to liven up the atmosphere on the continent." Nan Xuan grinned.

"Chen Gao, Yang Fei, Yang Tian, the three of you come to a meeting." Nan Xuan contacted the three in the Network World.

The martial souls of the three vibrated at the same time, so they returned to their rooms and entered the Network World.

"Brother Xuan, you finally remembered us?" Chen Gao arrived first, and his opening line was a fatal blow.

Just as Nan Xuan was about to speak, another heavy punch landed.

"Oh, what rare guests." Yang Tian looked at everyone in front of him and said with a smile.

Seeing Yang Fei also preparing to speak, Nan Xuan quickly said, "Ahem, I plan to start some business. You haven't fallen behind in your cultivation, have you?"

"Chen Gao, martial soul Soul-Eater Spear, level 68 strong attack system battle soul emperor."

"Yang Fei, martial soul Silver Needle, level 65 agility attack system battle soul emperor."

"Yang Tian, martial soul Silver Needle, level 65 agility attack system battle soul emperor."

The three introduced their own strength. They were the same age as Nan Xuan, and having such cultivation, they could be called geniuses.

"With the imprint Brother Xuan engraved on our martial souls to transmit soul power for our cultivation, we have all far surpassed others with the same talent." Yang Tian said with a smile.

With his original Innate Soul Power of level 6, reaching level 65 by the age of 19 would have been truly impossible without external assistance.

"Alright, I won't waste any more breath. You've all been slacking off for two years, so it's time to get back to work." Nan Xuan curled his lips into a smirk, his somewhat wicked expression making the others feel a bit uneasy.

"First, regarding the arrangements for the physical service ports of the Network World."

"I plan to sell Network Card skins. These skins refer to the visual design of the Network Card, which, like ours, can be imprinted directly onto a Martial Soul. However, there is a restriction: to imprint it onto a Martial Soul, one must be capable of manifesting the Martial Soul Avatar."

"Furthermore, this requires my authorization, using my backup mental imprint."

"As for you three, you need to arrange what I am about to say next."

"The majority of people on this continent are commoners or non-spirit masters. For this demographic, we need to sell physical Network Card packaging designs—simple outer shells that keep the Network Card clean and aesthetically pleasing."

"I will distribute the finished shells to you later; you just need to make sure they are sold."

Therefore, there are three options for these Network Card skin designs:

The first type, for those who can manifest a Martial Soul Avatar, can be imprinted directly onto the Martial Soul.

The second type, for those with a spirit power below level 70 who cannot manifest a Martial Soul Avatar, can be imprinted anywhere other than the Martial Soul.

The third type, for those without spirit power, involves purchasing specially made or customized Network Card skin shells.

Having finished discussing the physical business, Nan Xuan moved on to the business within the Network World.

"Next is regarding the Network World. I intend for you to make an appearance. Your strength within the Network World will be invincible, and your appearances will be altered. The reason for this is to have you serve as Network Guards."

"I haven't managed the Network World for the past two years, and many criminals have appeared within it. Of course, I have the ability to banish them or permanently revoke their access to the Network World, but that doesn't serve as a sufficient deterrent."

"Therefore, I plan to lift the Martial Prohibition Order. We will use martial power to govern martial power."

"I will be updating the Network World frequently in the future to refine existing systems and add new ones. It will get even more chaotic then, so you'll have your hands full." Nan Xuan looked at the three of them, assigning tasks bit by bit.

What else could the three of them say? They could only silently shoulder the burden.

"Wait, I will also be posting an announcement in the Network World regarding a project for custom Smart Guide skin designs. I'll offer sufficient payment to satisfy users' desires for a 'goddess-like' experience." Nan Xuan tapped the table, watching the expressions of the three; he was quite satisfied, as he used to wear that same expression himself.

"Isn't this... a bit too greedy?" Yang Fei asked, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Eh, it's not greedy. If they can't get their dream man or woman in reality, the Network World can satisfy them. It's a win-win, isn't it?" Chen Gao said with a mischievous grin.

"Rest assured, I will disable the use of our own faces, and the Smart Guide can only appear within their private rooms. They cannot be taken out, and they cannot do 'that'."

Nan Xuan didn't want to be the subject of anyone's wild fantasies, nor did he want others to know he was being used as a human-faced doll. Thus, he set restrictions: they cannot be taken out, and to prevent any interference, he enabled a ban on performing human biological research on the Smart Guides.

Thinking about it, Yang Fei decided it wasn't bad; he had previously...

Alright, that's all for now. I'll notify you about the rest; there will certainly be plenty of activities in the near future.

After the meeting ended, Nan Xuan had the professional transport team send the Network Card shells to the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire. As for Martial Soul City, he decided to leave them hanging for now.

"Greetings everyone, I am the God of the Network, the creator of the Network World."

"The Network World has been open for over two years. It has provided tremendous help to everyone's daily lives, transactions, and meetings, effectively shrinking this continent."

"To make this world more like reality, I am lifting the Martial Prohibition Order within the Network World. However, I will be appointing Network Guards to manage the order of the Network World for me. Everyone, govern yourselves accordingly."

"If your transgressions are too severe and you lose your eligibility to enter the Network World, this God believes you will regret it, for the experiences that follow will be beyond anything you could imagine."

"Now, let the carnival begin." Nan Xuan broadcasted his voice to every corner of the Network World. He wanted to harvest the power of faith; since it didn't work in the physical world, this was the only path left.

"Ding-dong, the Network Card skin design set has been released. Please consult your Smart Guide for details if interested." This message appeared in everyone's Smart Guide, along with purchasing channels, imprinting requirements, and registration information—all managed through the Smart Guide.

Nan Xuan had a reason for not choosing to send this as a public announcement. He didn't want to exacerbate the sense of inferiority in this world. By allowing users to purchase through their own Smart Guide selections, the wealthy could have better options, ensuring both privacy and security.

"Network Card skin design set." Once it went live, the entire network exploded.

As one of the top three sects of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect kept pace with the times quite well.

"Hahaha, it's a good thing my Martial Soul's maximum limit is level 79; I can imprint it onto my Martial Soul." The 25-year-old Ning Fengzhi looked at his own, a smile plastered across his face.
