(Ceruno)
I was Ceruno.
The half inside the Earth Crystal.
The concert had already begun. We were coordinating with my data duplicate to carry out a series of safeguards against Mi Xue's possible interference.
The Thought Network had long reserved an interface for every consciousness. No matter how much Mi Xue and Miluno slandered it, that would never change.
People feared the merging of minds and were therefore wary, but with benefits great enough, a good enough experience, and positive feedback from those still using it, someone would always dare to try...
Just like cracked software and games that people tried despite knowing they might contain viruses.
Especially the Thought Network, which had no viruses at all.
"Are we going to finish promoting it within the next three hours?"
Miss Terra seemed deep in thought.
"Is that impossible?"
"If we resort to any means necessary, we can do it even faster."
Terra meant taking the hard route—directly connecting everyone's consciousness to the Thought Network. Of course I couldn't let her do that. Wouldn't that just push the public toward Mi Xue?
"We can't force them. They have to connect on their own. Do you have any good ideas?"
Terra thought quickly. After only a blink, she said:
"Though they're both virtual, the New World is reality to people, while the Thought Network is the true virtual world... How about using 'watching the concert up close' as a selling point?"
"How exactly would that work?"
"Isn't it simple? Directly transmit the concert venue's scenery into every viewer's Consciousness Sea and override their five senses, giving them an immersive experience... Isn't that far better than some 360-degree fully immersive livestream? No matter how freely you can change the angle, it's still a livestream. It isn't the same as watching a concert in
