“I really need more Scholar Professions in my Lord Talents, they are quite useful.” Qin Muye invested all his points in Learning and Research, naturally intending to continue in this direction. Even with his current strength, he wouldn’t switch to becoming a warrior; his strength was still reliant on the Human Race Bloodline he had developed himself.

“The local area network is sorted, but its range is limited to a radius of only a hundred li. Beyond that, the signal decays until the connection vanishes; there’s still room for improvement.”

“Stone Statue Ghost Armor also has room for improvement and optimization, so let’s work on that first.”

“Artificial connections are also possible and currently sufficient.”

“As for the Demon Statue Level Mechas, I’ll push that back; they’re too resource-intensive to construct.”

[Your First Rank Intelligent Magic: Magic Network has advanced to Third Rank Intelligent Magic: Magic Network.]

After all, communication through the Magic Network directly reaches the spirit and soul, not the physical layer.

But no rush for Qin Muye now, the entire Magic Network project can at least wait until the construction of the Floating City is completed before kicking off, it’s sufficient for now.

Of course, Qin Muye has the highest access rights anyway, allowing him to receive messages on all sub-channels, though he would block them out.

Additionally, Qin Muye planned to use this as a core to develop Magic Slots.

After dealing with the Magic Network, Qin Muye dived into the next phase of experimental development.

Of course, in terms of communication, Qin Muye also opened the main channel and sub-channels; the main channel is for issuing important notices and generally doesn’t send messages, whereas the sub-channels are for work communication when assigning tasks or for personal chats, etc.

Once this local network integrates all Spirit Monsters, there’ll be no need to update them face-to-face in the future—just upload directly to the Magic Network and they’ll update automatically.

For Demon Statue Level Mechas, Qin Muye estimated that they should be at least kilometer-scale; he couldn’t be so frugal as to only construct hundred-meter-scale ones, right?

And later, the Floating City will also need to integrate the Magic Network, combining it with the entire Floating City, the Mysterious Lock Barrier, and so on, to form a vast data network.

And the DND-like Magic Slots are quite special. They don’t rely on the mana bar for casting spells, but rather involve choosing spells each day and then releasing them.

They can also perform a certain degree of Magic Transmission, which means that if one runs out of mana, they can borrow directly through the Magic Network from other Spirit Monsters to replenish their Magic Power, though this is subject to distance and transmission limits. On one hand, the efficiency might be a bit slower, and on the other, the amount of Magic Power transmitted is also limited—this can be modified later.

The Floating City itself is a massive aggregation, not made from a single material. It contains various energies flowing and magical enhancements, and even after being built, it will continually require updates and iterations. To do this, not only would the Floating City need to be replanned, but it would also increase costs substantially.

More importantly, it would be counterproductive. The originally strong and robust Floating City would unnecessarily gain a weakness, which isn’t worth it.

The problem is that Qin Muye lacks a middle server. The Spirit Monsters’ Magic Network can indeed act as relay nodes and small servers, but they wouldn’t be sufficient for such massive operations.

Piecemeal construction won’t work, either. Although the Floating City seems to be constructed in segments, once completed, it would be unified through Qin Muye’s efforts.

Pity that the Heroes are limited in their abilities; even the Spirit Monster assistants, who transitioned through the Scholar Profession, are far from comparable to him. They can only assist in various experiments.

Even the Human Race Bloodline was his own development. It would be illogical to give up his Scholar Profession; that would be like neglecting the essentials for the trivial—picking up sesame seeds but losing the watermelon. As long as he continues on this path, the day may come when he will discard the Human Race Bloodline for a stronger one he has developed.

The Magic Network itself is a magical program and Qin Muye had already reserved corresponding programs for it.

Demon Blood and Abyssal Speech would also be updated with the help of Spirit Monsters in the Horror Universe.

So far, Qin Muye has only developed the Spiritual Communication Network and secondary remote Energy Transmission.

What’s that? A Demon Statue? It’s better to just use Stone Statue Ghost Armor instead.

Artificial connections, meaning within every hundred kilometers, Spirit Monsters can be used as nodes, acting like signal relays—each Spirit Monster is a small server.

With this, even without a Tower Spirit, one could easily master and manage every aspect of the Floating City.

Although Qin Muye didn’t have the corresponding technology, that didn’t mean he couldn’t manage it.

So it’s not suitable to serve as a server, and another option had to be chosen.

His confidence stemmed not from any resources or treasures, but from his own research outcomes born out of various types of knowledge.

He had thought about turning the Floating City into a large server, and indeed it was a good idea, but it would cause problems.

The kind that even Tian Qi couldn’t handle.

Now Qin Muye didn’t need to be busy with this; he simply updated Black Hand, who would then update the Deacon Spirit Monsters, and after that, the information would spread from one to ten and ten to a hundred, probably taking a day to update the Magic Network for all the Spirit Monsters.

Otherwise, it would give him a headache.

Knowing that so many Spirit Monsters are working, there must be communication, and communication through the Magic Network would create a massive flow of information. He could receive it, but there was no point in doing so, as anything important would be communicated through the Magic Network, instead of him having to monitor these matters.

Knowing that a Titan Level being is colossal, measuring in the tens to hundreds of thousands of meters, of course, that was a matter for the future, as he currently lacked the resources to build one.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t do research alone, but the efficiency was too slow. By the time Qin Muye completed the corresponding research, the other party might still be at the starting stage, so it was better to have them assist Qin Muye instead.

Generally speaking, whether it’s him or Spirit Monsters, they are blue-bar Mages who can cast magic as long as they have mana.

If the Floating City were to be attacked, the corresponding large server would also be damaged, and more importantly, there were compatibility issues.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and Qin Muye had finally succeeded. It wasn’t easy since it involved multiple technologies and fields, which is why it took three days.

Therefore, he could only choose something that would not leave the Floating City.

Since the energy in his Floating City was rather patchy, it wasn’t scientific to have every Spirit Monster fitted with an Energy Converter, so it was better to create a large server to perform unified conversion. Afterwards, even if the Spirit Monsters ran out of Magic Value, they could still use the spells from the Magic Slots.

Because of this, Qin Muye had Black Hand stop training experimental assistants for him. It was better to invest them in his territory instead, and he could handle the research aspect, which had been greatly improved due to his Learning Ability and Academic Research stemming from his two Lord Talents.

With the Magic Network in place, communication issues were resolved for the time being, at least not relying on shouting any longer. Furthermore, once the server was established, he could work online, store various kinds of data, and even provide online teaching, making it much less troublesome for Qin Muye to teach various Skills and techniques.

With the Skill of scholarship, it would be possible to teach all Heroes and Spirit Monsters en masse without having to go to the training ground or gather together. Plus, they could listen more attentively and study more seriously.

Furthermore, with the Lord Talent called Cross-reference, Qin Muye’s learning and research abilities were almost like cheating.

The essence of the magic from the Magic Slots essentially went through the account of the Floating City via the Magic Network, so there was no consumption, and even the release didn’t need to be too cumbersome—it could be released directly from the Magic Network.

These matters were supposed to be taken care of by the Heroes under his command, not by him.

This was just the first phase; subsequent developments included server development, advanced energy transmission, remote magic release, and other various derivative abilities.

It was merely like creating a new folder.

As long as the Magic Network was connected to the energy sector of the Floating City and then fixed magic was performed, later on, it could be directly released through the server known as the Magic Slot.

As long as all the Spirit Monsters were connected to each other, a Magic Network with multiple layers of verification including spirit, magic power, bloodline, and more would form. Access required specific permissions and multiple verifications before the Magic Network could be used.

As for the updated Magic Network, there was no need for the Spirit Monsters to go to the factory for upgrades; a copy of the program could simply be installed and updated automatically in the Magic Network of the Spirit Monsters.

As for using himself as a server, he had considered it, but there were many complications. First off, although he was mostly homebound, he might have to leave someday. If he left, the computational power of the entire Floating City’s Magic Network would drop, leading to a shortage in logic and then a decrease in various efficiencies.

Intelligent Magic may have only this one spell of the Magic Network, but it has strong compatibility and potential.
