After Chapter 204, you'll be the internet cafe manager.

Since the Golden Seed was sent to the Castle in the Sky world, this spiritual space that belonged exclusively to Mu En has been left idle.

The Golden Seed failed to condense again, and the channel connecting the two worlds, which had been conjectured, still hadn't appeared. Mu En had been eager to find more uses for this space, but now, this special space, which existed simultaneously in the soul and reality, finally came in handy—it would become the "server room" of the Erdtree Network.

Inside the Stone Platform, Master Kabo remained anxiously waiting.

The deity remained silent after asking him several questions, which made him very uneasy.

He didn't know if the information he provided satisfied that person, nor did he know what fate awaited him next.

On the battlefield, he was prepared to die, but once his will to live was rekindled, how could he possibly want to die in vain?

Fortunately, his anxiety didn't last long. Suddenly, he felt that the invisible but extremely strong will "see" him again, and that feeling made him instinctively tense up.

Immediately afterwards, Master Kabo witnessed a sight he would never forget.

Hundreds of illusory golden ribbons emerged from the void in all directions, intertwining, weaving, and merging at the center of the Stone Platform, quickly forming a dim sphere of light that resembled a candle flickering in the wind.

Then, a massive surge of golden energy came crashing in like a tsunami.

He had seen that kind of energy on Nausicaä before, but the golden energy surging into the sphere of light now was hundreds or thousands of times stronger, pouring into the sphere with a rumbling roar.

The sphere of light began to expand rapidly, its color changing from dull to dazzling, and finally it transformed into a massive, solid sphere as large as a mountain, suspended in space.

Master Kabo stood there dumbfounded. Nausicaä's firefly-like gold was already enough to transform her into a human chariot, so just how powerful was this moon-like, dazzling gold?

Mu En had no time to pay attention to the small, illusory soul of Master Kabo; he had already immersed his consciousness into the newly formed golden sphere.

This is a "server" he built himself. The construction principle is not complicated. It uses the weak soul power provided by all the Blessed as the base point and is fixed and filled with a huge amount of Golden Rune to form a spiritual space.

Essentially, this is a scaled-down version of the online community of the Sea of Corruption ) universe.

Of course, he wouldn't pay royalties to The Sea of Corruption.

The golden sphere is filled with warm, liquid Golden Rune, an energy formed by the fusion of life force and soul power, which can maintain the stability of the spiritual space to the maximum extent.

Fragments of memories and phantoms drifted around him. Mu En reached out his spiritual power to touch one of them, and the vision of a certain Blessed immediately appeared before his eyes.

A young girl was delivering food to newly Blessed Warrior during training. Thinking that the boy she liked was waiting for her to bring him food, she quickened her pace.

He touched another phantom and heard fragmented phrases in his ears. It was a mercenary group member muttering to himself about what to eat that night.

In the past, he used this kind of link to observe the activities of the Blessed, or to facilitate communication among the Blessed.

However, once a mental space is established, it's certainly not appropriate to expose everyone's "privacy" like that.

His goal is to build an internet, not to break down the barriers between people's hearts. If everyone who enters can see into other people's perspectives and feelings, then this network will quickly become a battlefield.

Mu En began making the modifications.

The entire space began to change at will, gradually transforming from chaos into order.

He thoroughly enjoyed the process of creating new things, as if he had returned to the feeling of building his own world when playing sandbox games in his previous life.

Soon, as if separated by Pangu, the interior of the space was simply divided into three parts.

At the very top, a smaller, solid golden sphere floats, forming the foundation of the entire server.

Mu En set up a simple Incantations model on it, which allows it to automatically add new Blessing Link as the number of Blessed increases, maintaining the stability of the entire network.

This golden sphere will become the heart of the entire system, forever suspended in its core position.

The middle level contains many unseen private spaces, which he named the " Login Space ".

Unlike the previous Blessing Link that only allowed for simple voice communication, this one allows the Blessed a certain degree of freedom in managing their personal alternate account space.

People can store memories or knowledge here, and can also set their own profile picture, similar to a computer desktop.

The bottom floor is the " Public Space ".

It was a boundless, empty land; looking up, one could see the black void and the golden sphere floating overhead.

This is a place where the future Blessed can move around and interact freely, like a city square.

However, there was nothing here yet, only a pure white ground stretching to the horizon.

"Phew—it's much more troublesome than I imagined."

Even Mu En felt a little tired after completing these basic infrastructure tasks.

This is not simply calling upon an existing Incantations model, but rather an unprecedented innovation in the use of various ways of using Golden Rune, with each step being a trial and error process.

However, these still do not meet his requirements and are still far from the cyberspace he envisions, similar to "Ready Player One".

If the link were opened now to allow the Blessed to enter, users would find themselves becoming a wisp of air, without bodies, without the ability to interact, and even struggling to move.

Only those born with the gift of telekinesis can consciously control the actions of their souls.

Mu En pondered for a moment, then decided that they couldn't just act recklessly.

I'm not some genius programmer; I can't create a complex virtual reality system out of thin air.

The key issue is that the number of Blessed is currently less than a thousand. Adding too many complicated functions won't be useful to anyone, so it's better to be more practical.

So he temporarily abandoned the renovation of the activity space and instead focused his attention on more basic functions.

Because this is a mental space, many functions that require complex code to achieve in the real world can be accomplished here with just a thought. Mu En quickly created an automatic connection system using the "Golden Sphere".

Just like a phone call in a past life, as long as you know the mental fluctuations unique to a certain Blessed, you can initiate the call, and once the other party agrees, the conversation can be connected.

This system automatically identifies the spiritual imprint of each Blessed, manages all connection requests, and maintains call stability.

In this way, he would no longer have to do something as undignified as personally laying telephone lines for the believers, even though the Blessed never knew how those conversations worked.

He then informed Nausicaä, who was on the Silver Battleship preparing to travel to the next country, of this new feature via mental link, asking her to be the first user.

Soon, Mito, who was resting far away in Windmill Castle, suddenly received a message.

"Grandpa Mito, how are things on your end? Everything's going smoothly with the fleet."

At the same time, the view also came from Nausicaä standing on the deck, looking down at the earth from a thousand meters above.

Mito was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Very well! Your Highness, please take care of yourself while you are away, and don't overwork yourself."

"Okay, I'll bring you some local specialties from Pakashe when I get back." Nausicaä smiled and hung up the "phone."

Mito sat at the table, marveling that the lively and adorable prince still remembered this old man from so far away.

"Wait a minute, was that the view His Highness just witnessed? How did that happen???"

Only after he finished his exclamation did he realize something was wrong.

Mu En then explained, "Don't be alarmed. This is a new use of the Blessing Link, and you and Nausicaä are the first to try it out."

After learning about this novel function, the entire mental space quickly became bustling with activity.

Mito remotely reprimanded Por, urging him to protect His Highness; Por, meanwhile, boasted to Grandpa Gol about the machinery he had seized in Pejite; Wawar finally managed to get through on the phone but couldn't get a word out, and was hung up on by his clueless comrades.

For the first time, the people of the Valley of the Wind experienced the joy of chatting on the phone for hours.

Moreover, this is a long phone call that can package and send the thoughts and images in one's mind, which is more advanced than the chat software in Mu En's previous life.

Mu En didn't bother with it anymore; this function was already sufficient and quite powerful.

Just as he exited the mental space and prepared to continue the experiment about clones that had been interrupted, he noticed that Master Kabo was still trembling.

Mu En pondered for a moment. This Dorok Master was, after all, a wise man, and had already expressed his willingness to submit. It seemed a waste to just leave him hanging like this.

So he asked, "Since you have agreed to submit, I have a task for you."

Master Kabo suddenly raised his head; he had been waiting for this fateful moment.

"How about becoming my network administrator?"

Master Kabo:

What is that?
