New Function Shows Its Might-It Can Actually Be Used Like This?!

"Right away! It'll be ready right away, Lord Roger. Group Chat was completed long ago. I'm mainly adding the Group Announcement and Group Files functions now. To be honest, it could have gone live ages ago, but I think it still needs some polishing. That way, it'll be more refined and better suit your temperament..." Book's ingratiating voice instantly reached Roger's ears.

"Refined? Can't you slowly refine it afterward?" Roger was immediately rendered speechless. "Just launch it! Right now, immediately!"

"Th-this... Lord Roger, such a major Group Chat update should still be as perfect as possible, shouldn't it? This doesn't seem particularly urgent..."

"Group Chat will have a major impact on the war against mortals." Roger directly cut Book off. "Do as I say."

Book was still somewhat confused, but it quickly pushed out the new feature anyway.

Almost instantly, everyone browsing the Magic Web received a notification.

"Gasp—We can actually chat with multiple people now?"

"This function feels really practical!"

"Indeed. When chatting in Magic Web Space, too many unrelated people can see it. Discussing things with several people through Private Chat is far too troublesome, but now everyone can discuss matters together!"

"I suddenly thought of something. Couldn't our academy create a Group Chat and directly announce important matters there?"

"Thank the Magic Goddess, thank the Technology God! This feature is absolutely wonderful! Once again, I sincerely apologize for the Magic Encyclopedia incident! I've already shared a great deal of knowledge to make up for my past mistake!"

Mages had always been among the smartest people in this world.

After accepting the Magic Web, every one of their minds became even more active.

The moment they saw Group Chat, they immediately thought of countless ways to use it.

After only a few minutes of discussion, they discovered Group Chat's many advantages.

It had broad information coverage and could send messages to multiple familiar members at once... It promoted teamwork and discussion, allowing many people to brainstorm together... It improved efficiency, letting multiple people speak at the same time... It could...

There were simply too many benefits!

People immediately began creating Group Chats and pulling in familiar friends and fellow users from their Magic Spaces.

At the Twilight City training grounds, Lucina studied the Ray Gun before her with great interest and could not help murmuring, "So this is a Ray Gun? It's really quite exquisite!"

The commander of the city guard was instantly speechless. Was she some sheltered little noble too?

This counted as exquisite?

There probably wasn't a more crudely made magic item in the entire world!

Wait, hadn't she seen Ray Guns before?!

Wasn't she supposed to be an expert from the Technology Legion?!

"Have you not seen a Ray Gun before?" The commander of the city guard swallowed and cautiously asked. Although he was the highest commander in this war, he truly had no experience using Magitech Devices to wage war. He had placed all his hopes on Lucina!

"Ray Guns have only appeared in the royal capital for eight days. How long do you think it took me to travel from the Northlands to the Westlands? Where would I have found the time to visit the royal capital?" Lucina waved a hand. "All right, let me try this thing first. Without firsthand experience, I have no right to speak!"

With that, she eagerly picked up a Ray Gun and, following the tutorial sent by Viscount Rost, aimed it directly at the first target before pouring magic power into it.

She could feel the magic power she injected instantly amplify after passing through the Energy-Storage Rune. It then entered the Spell Model, transformed into scorching heat, and shot out through the barrel. A massive blue beam, like an arrow, instantly struck the target dozens of meters away.

The wooden target clad in leather armor was effortlessly pierced through, its surface covered in scorch marks. More importantly, the beam did not stop. It continued straight into a nearby wall, blasting off a considerable amount of debris before finally dissipating.

Without another word, she turned her gaze to another target...

"An effective range of over five hundred meters, no different from a standard electric shock wave." After firing seven or eight shots, Lucina could not help muttering, "The accuracy is quite good too. Once you get slightly accustomed to it, it's basically no different from casting magic normally. As for magic power consumption, even the most ordinary Mage Apprentice should be able to fire it more than a hundred times..."

"Oh, right. Viscount Rost told me that besides producing the basic components for these Ray Guns, they also invented some kind of scope? Why don't I see one?!"

Suddenly remembering something, Lucina turned to look at the person in charge of the city guard.

"Th-that... I haven't received any news about that!" The guard official froze briefly. "You know Viscount Rost? Should I ask the royal capital?"

"Mm, go ask. Viscount Rost told me they invented a simple aiming mechanism that could help Mage Apprentices get the hang of it quickly and improve their accuracy, though aiming might take some additional time."

"If that's true, it'll be tremendously beneficial for our upcoming war!" The guard official had just opened the Magic Web and had not even sent a message when someone cried out, "General Wolf, quickly open the Magic Web! The Magic Web has released a new function. Lord Bellion should have invited you to join a Group Chat too!"

"Group Chat? What's that?"

Lucina had been happily playing with the Ray Gun in her hand when the guard official suddenly interrupted her. She had been somewhat displeased, but the moment she heard that the Magic Web had released a new function, she immediately became excited.

As she spoke, she had already taken out the Magic Web. Prayer, activation—done in one smooth motion. It seemed she had gone through the entire process countless times.

"We can actually chat with multiple people?!" Lucina looked at the Magic Web in surprise, the corners of her lips rising uncontrollably. This was much more convenient!

Western War Command Group... Technology God Faith Group... Mana Bomb Combat Exercise Group... Group Chat invitations one after another made the countess from the Northlands' eyes shine.

There would finally be a place for more private conversations in the future.

But she quickly reined in her emotions, swiftly accepted every invitation, and then turned her attention to the Western War Command Group.

"There are insufficient griffin messengers in the royal capital. Strategic supplies such as Mana Bombs and Ray Guns will be transported by griffin messenger, while scopes, food, and other supplies will be handled by ground forces. I have invited the person in charge into the Group Chat. You can ask him directly about the scopes' current location later!"
