Chapter 284: Chapter 284: New Features Complete, Another Update!

"Can it only reach this level?"

The Goddess of Magic looked at the newly formed worm species in the iron mine and fell silent for a moment.

Stealing this part of the faith and gaining the faith of this worm species indeed didn’t seem very attractive. The worm species might not even possess intelligence at all.

She even felt that Ren’s description of this worm species was actually inaccurate. This was more like during a god’s formation process, special power radiating to surrounding life, causing their life characteristics to transform rather than evolve... Of course, this was just analysis based on known information.

To really know, they’d still need to confirm on-site.

"No matter what, I feel like we need to make the trip."

Ren also seemed to be pondering something. After a long time, he suddenly spoke: "The magic-tech vehicles have been manufactured by them. Combined with ultra-high-speed trains, magic-tech industrial development will completely hit the accelerator."

"They need massive amounts of steel and mines. If I devour this faith and change the iron ore distribution, collection difficulty will greatly decrease, fundamentally solving the first major problem in the magic-tech industrialization process."

"Also, we can check while we’re there whether we can breed large numbers of worm species. If we can, during the magic-tech industrialization process, they’ll have a very good material."

The mortal realm wasn’t just lacking tire materials.

Since the slime secreted by these worms could become the main material for tires, it would perform extremely well in many industrial products—conveyor belts, pipes, gloves, shoes, toys... all aspects.

Ren was very clear about rubber’s important position in his previous life. If this worm’s secreted slime could substitute for rubber, it could definitely be used in these fields too.

"We happen to have quite a few backlogged matters. After solving this problem, we can conveniently go solve the Tulip Kingdom matter and take a look at what’s really happening in Lady Dream’s domain—whether there really is an external god invading."

The Goddess of Magic didn’t refute Ren’s plan.

Since a decision had been made, they’d just do it.

Anyway, Ren wanting to go to the mortal realm wasn’t difficult and didn’t require paying too great a cost.

Running around following the network cables—this ability was just too wonderful.

"Lord Ren, Goddess, where are you going? Do you want to take me along? Last time you already took Betty around. I still haven’t been to the mortal realm. It’s been tens of thousands of years. I also have some old friends I want to see, and also some..."

"You said it yourself—tens of thousands of years. Your old friends have long since disappeared."

Ren unceremoniously interrupted Book: "Why did you come here? Have you completed the task I assigned you?"

"Of course, I’ve lived up to expectations. The Feed and Pages features have been created. They’re already on your Magic Net ring just now. Want to take a look now? If there are any problems, I’ll modify them immediately. Seeing how well I performed, take me along. I really have some old friends I want to see, and also some things I want to buy..."

Book chattered away endlessly on the side. Ren didn’t pay attention but pulled out his Magic Net ring.

Feed and Pages—these two features were what he’d asked Book to create not long ago. They were also among the last few elements in the puzzle of basic feature applications on the Magic Net and, at the same time, important features for welcoming an even broader user base.

With Dragon Bank’s popularization, more and more people were getting Magic Net rings for free, more and more people were joining. But to say it covered most people was impossible.

Even saying it covered most freemen in major cities was somewhat of a stretch.

Facing the new era, not everyone could complete the transformation quickly.

Changes in thinking required a long time.

But Ren believed that the appearance of Feed and Pages would definitely have a very good stimulating effect.

On one hand, the ’network’ needed for Feed and Pages wasn’t that much—they didn’t need to be like videos where a wireless transmission device had to be nearby to use them. On the other hand, they inherently had very good entertainment and social qualities.

Feed could let users post text and images. At the same time, it could let friends ’comment’ or ’like’ newly published images and text, letting friends see other friends’ comments and likes.

In this process, it could greatly satisfy mortals’ strong desire to share. It could let them easily share their lives and insights. It could let their friends easily express their ’views’ on this shared information. Lots of ’likes’ would give them a sense of achievement and satisfaction.

Also, many people would inevitably feel that by sharing daily life and reflections, they could establish better trust and intimacy...

Many benefits.

Besides that, they could also repost articles and music from other features. This could form a good closed loop, which was also what Ren valued more.

Pages were actually more like a supplement to Magic Net News and Magic Net Videos. They could let some institutions, forces, and companies publish information and push it to users who needed to see this information.

He believed that after launch, it would definitely attract many forces, especially new companies and groups already selling courses or selling various items online. This played an important role in establishing their brand image.

In Ren’s view, there was another benefit here—being able to ease them in gradually and shift attitudes incrementally, starting from little things, starting from little things to influence various forces and groups, gradually making them willing to follow the changes of the era and make changes themselves.

"Not bad, basically all the features I needed are here."

Ren carefully looked through it, experiencing it, and using an alt account to confirm the situation. The various features and effects he’d requested had basically all been realized. "Book, you did very well. The only flaw I can find is this ’dislike’ feature in Feed—you need to remove it for me."

"Also, add a privacy feature that lets users set it so others can only see three days, seven days, or one month of their Feed... Also, they can set it so certain people can or can’t see."

"Why do other features all have comment, like, and dislike buttons, but you want to remove dislike from Feed?" Before Book could speak, the Goddess of Magic asked with some curiosity.

"Many people posting to Feed want to gain a sense of achievement and satisfaction through sharing. The dislike feature would make their sense of achievement plummet, so of course it needs to be removed. After all, this isn’t aimed at broad groups—we don’t need to consider promotion issues."

Ren explained with a smile: "Book, go ahead. After making changes, confirm everything. If there are no problems, publish it. On this trip to the mortal realm, I’ll bring you along."
