You Don't Understand How Much Levels Would Excite Them!

Roger found the '2G Network' rather boring, good for nothing but browsing forums and chatting, but to the mages, it seemed like the dawn of a new era!

They could lie in their own mage towers and learn about events thousands of miles away.

They could go work for nobles in border territories and still keep up with all the Association's latest developments.

They could even discuss Spell Models with like-minded friends, learn about local customs from those who enjoyed traveling, and ask the local natives about the situation before setting out on a journey...

It was simply perfect!

So many things they had never even dared dream of had now become reality.

It had far exceeded everyone's imagination.

But today, the Magic Web changed once again!

"My heavens! Magic Space has actually sorted different posts into categories now!"

"Hahaha, wonderful! I love discussing basic Spell Models, but it was really hard to find them among that huge pile of posts before."

"Magic Goddess above, Technology God above, the new version of Magic Space is incredible! I take back what I said about the two of You because of Magic Encyclopedia!"

"Gathering people interested in the same topic together to make communication and mutual assistance easier—this idea is absolutely brilliant!"

"But brother, why is your name blue? And what does that '3' after it mean? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"You can even create your own 'category'! I'm planning to create a 'Magic Creature Flavor Bar.' I wonder if anyone shares my interests! I love those magic creatures—they're especially delicious, really!"

With Magic Space becoming forum-like, whether the subject was popular or niche, anyone could create their own 'bar,' precisely gather fellow enthusiasts, and make kindred friends. The feature caused an enormous stir as soon as it was released.

One Archmage even created a bar specifically for himself, leaving countless mages dumbfounded.

After their initial surprise, the mages gradually discovered something strange: quite a few people's names had changed color.

Blue, green, yellow, orange, red... Each different color was followed by a number, which seemed to represent a level.

After some investigation, they finally discovered that this update had not only affected Magic Space. Magic Encyclopedia had also undergone certain changes.

This information appeared beneath an encyclopedia entry about Magic Encyclopedia, displaying the entire Points reward and deduction system as well as the leveling system.

"I, the great Legendary Druid Master Ragewind, actually have a gray name, just like the vast majority of people! Damn it!!!" Deep within the forests near the border between the Elf Kingdom and the Graycastle Empire, Master Ragewind, a Legendary Druid who had retired two thousand years ago, had been lying in a chair, basking in the sun and browsing the Magic Web. His expression suddenly darkened.

"To raise your level, you have to share your knowledge on Magic Encyclopedia." The Elf Apprentice beside him said helplessly, "Master, our druid ma... druid skills can't be shared on Magic Encyclopedia, or the Council of Elders will definitely give you trouble."

"You make it sound as though they wouldn't trouble me if I didn't share anything." Master Ragewind waved a hand dismissively. "I've already hidden out in this godforsaken wilderness. Why should I be afraid of them?"

"..." You had been hiding in this remote wilderness for four hundred years and didn't dare return to the capital just because of a gambling debt. Weren't you afraid of them after all?

The Apprentice wore an odd expression, but he did not dare say it aloud...

"Enough, I know where the line is. Druid magic can't be shared, but I've accumulated plenty of other magical knowledge over the past few thousand years, especially the knowledge I won from humans."

Master Ragewind assumed that was what his Apprentice was worrying about and waved his hand.

But after hearing that, the Apprentice's expression became even stranger.

He still remembered the last time his master had played cards with a human Legendary Mage. Every move took him several days to think over. In the end, he had worn the other man down until he no longer wanted to play, leaving behind the stakes and striding away...

Humans and Elf might perceive time somewhat differently, but who could endure someone taking several days to think through every single move?

Once Master Ragewind started acting, quite a few high-ranking mages also seemed to become somewhat irritated by the system.

But they could not possibly stop using the Magic Web... So, one after another, they shared some inconsequential knowledge they knew.

For a time, Book felt that Magic Encyclopedia was even livelier than Magic Web Space.

"Lord Roger, the appearance of the leveling system actually stimulated so many mages into freely sharing their knowledge. It's simply unbelievable. Your idea is truly brilliant! I never imagined..."

"Because you aren't Human." Roger smiled and waved a hand. "No, rather, it's because you aren't an ordinary social intelligent creature. Whether Human or Elf, as long as they live in a hierarchical society, comparisons will always exist. This is even more true for transcendents. They simply can't accept an Apprentice having a higher level than them."

"It seems I still have much to learn. Both Magic Encyclopedia and the reforms to Magic Space have been extremely successful. They seem to have endless topics to discuss and endless bars to create. Some people are even visiting more than a dozen different bars in one go..."

Book's endless chatter did not irritate Roger. Perhaps it was because he was genuinely in a very good mood right now.

Although Magic Space still could not post images or videos, after becoming forum-like, it finally carried a trace of the feeling from his previous life. He could also easily find interesting posts, which relaxed his taut nerves somewhat.

Though he did not have any nerves at all.

"What a surge. If the activation frequency were like this every day, like when new features were released, faith might rise by several more percent." Feeling the suddenly surging torrent of faith, Roger narrowed his eyes comfortably.

The faith liquid within the Blank Divine Core had already accumulated to more than two-thirds. It was not far from being filled again.

Book's voice suddenly rose, startling him. "Eh! Such an enormous Mithril vein actually existed in this world?! There was even a duchy in the Northlands of the Dawn Kingdom eighty thousand years ago that organized over ten thousand people to mine a Mithril vein. Until the duchy was destroyed, that Mithril vein remained its main source of funding..."

What was going on? Why did that sound so familiar?

Had that high school student who made up Wikipedia entries also transmigrated here?!

Different worlds, same rumor?

Roger did not know of any Mithril vein within the Dawn Kingdom that required more than ten thousand people to mine.

If there had been one, the kingdom would have acted long ago. Why would it wait until now?

Rost Territory.

After finishing his patrol of the Self-Charging Magic Array, the wandering mage quietly arrived at the center of the array, sat down, and habitually took out the Magic Web, preparing to browse it.

The moment he opened it, a deep look of surprise appeared on his face. After exploring for quite a while, he gained a rough understanding of the changes to the Magic Web.

"It seems... He has exerted Himself again." The wandering mage could not help muttering. "Should I create a Magitech Device Bar and see if there are any like-minded people? Viscount Rost seems to be short on people... But the name Magitech Device hasn't spread yet, so I don't know how many people would understand it. Should I just name it Mana Bomb instead?"

"Yes! That's what I'll do! I'll establish a Mana Bomb Bar, then post an announcement declaring that mana bombs are a type of Magitech Device. That'll be perfect!"

He had no idea just how explosively outrageous the name Mana Bomb Bar was!
