After all, the wizarding world is not a modern society, and the nature of the roots of civilization is different. It is obviously inappropriate to copy all situations according to the free and open earth environment.
Angel personally prefers to set restrictions on the creation of chat groups first, and then gradually open them up if opportunities arise later.
Just as Jon said, if you give too much and too much at once, the tone will be pushed directly to the top. The audience will only take all the functions for granted, and once they are let go, they will not cherish them.
So set restrictions first and set the tone. In the future, if there are more users in the tree group, we will slowly open it up. Maybe then the chat group business can also become a chain of interest exchange.
Angel expressed his thoughts, but did not force Jon to make changes. He just said that it was best to read more user feedback before making a decision.
Jon agreed and wanted to see the feedback again.
After chatting about the feedback on the updated content, Jon began to reveal his other purpose for finding Angel: to discuss the next version update of Tree Group and the reform direction of the Mother Tree Forum.
Originally, the iterative updates of tree groups and forums were within Jon's business scope, and he had already made a preliminary plan for the update content. However, 20% of his development and transformation of the mother tree network was based on the development team
Eighty percent of his abilities are based on the authority granted to him by Angel.
Nowadays, the capabilities of the development team have been maximized, but the management rights of the Mother Tree Network have not yet been issued in place.
It is for this reason that Jon needs to discuss with Angel.
Jon: “Currently, in my opinion, what the surface network lacks the most is the ability to embed images.”
"Whether editing avatars, using expressions, or beautifying pages, all require the support of art materials. However, avatars and expressions are actually not very important. The reason why I proposed the picture function first is because it is a forum topic with a high professional nature.
It really needs matching pictures.”
"For example, in the "New Town Planning Overview and Details" I compiled, Lianna Witch often left comments below to raise questions and modifications. I can express simple questions in words, but the modifications to the drawings are difficult to describe in words.
In addition, the style of the new city is completely different from the existing style in the wizarding world. Witch Liana often cannot understand my descriptions. It is best to express it through pictures, which is more intuitive and clear."
As for the function of pictures, Jon has already mentioned it before, and Angel also had an in-depth understanding of it through the Civilization Mother Tree and determined that this function is feasible.
Moreover, there is not just one way to express it through pictures.
For example, just like inputting text, you can use your consciousness to control it and draw what you think. Another example is to "photograph" real patterns through the branch powder in the mother tree interconnector and upload it to the surface network. This is also feasible.
But Angel is still a little hesitant about which mode to use.
Conscious control is naturally more convenient, but if you want to use consciousness to paint, it requires very high mental expressiveness of the individual. The vast majority of human beings can imagine a picture, a scene and a landscape in their minds
, but generally focus on the overall outline and a few key areas.
It is difficult for ordinary people to fully express all the details of the picture.
Take the new city for example. There are countless stacked buildings in the new city. Almost all the buildings have different brick patterns, window shapes, and even ventilation ducts. In a general pattern of the new city, there are at least millions or tens of millions of details that need to be paid attention to.
.
Can ordinary people imagine it with their consciousness and cover everything?
It's difficult.
In addition to conscious control, the second method is to use "physical" methods to use mother tree branch powder to perceive the real pattern. This is a bit like the shooting function in the holographic tablet, which records the current scene in real time and records all the details.
It can be said that it is the most realistic and comprehensive when it is included.
Angel personally prefers to use this method, but there are also irreplaceable aspects of consciousness painting. For example, if you want to express an illusory scene using photography, you can only draw it yourself first, and then photograph it after painting; but consciousness painting
, you can quickly compose the picture in your mind, and the speed will be faster.
Therefore, Angel is also struggling now, which one should be used? Or, use both methods together?
Angel thought for a while and decided to let Jon make the choice.
He told Jon the pros and cons of both methods. After thinking for a moment, Jon replied with a message: "If you can shoot through the mother tree interconnector, then use this method first. Consciousness painting is obviously more
If technology is needed, updates can be customized in future versions for high-end talents who can use this method."
After confirming the selection method, Angel immediately manipulated the tree civilization to open the relevant management permissions.
However, this only opens the relevant permissions. If you want to apply it to the surface network, Jon and his development team will need to carry out research and development and optimization.
This is equivalent to opening an exit out of thin air in a closed maze. People trapped in the maze still need to find the exit themselves if they want to leave the maze.
"The current version focuses on the friend function and private chat. The next version can create a series of functions around the theme of pictures." After Jon determined the next development direction, he proposed some existing features to Angel.
I hope the version issue will be resolved.
For example, the Dream Plant Fairy will visit the tree group and mother tree forums from time to time.
Although most of the Dream Plant goblins are very innocent and have little interest in the surface network, their sudden appearance is still a bit inconvenient. At least from the perspective of privacy, it must be resolved quickly.
Angel has seen this before and has a plan.
There are two solutions: either isolate the surface network from the parent tree network, or make it more difficult for the surface network to enter the immersive network.
Angel decided to choose the second option. He did not intend to completely isolate the surface network because Jon mentioned the "root server" before.
The Mother Tree Network could not always rely on him to issue management permissions. He thought about it and planned to follow what Jon said and build a root server deep in the Mother Tree Network, that is, in the immersive network, for management.
Permissions on the surface network.
At that time, as long as the root of the mother tree network is not involved, no matter what functions he wants to add, Jon can go to the root server to manipulate it himself.
After deciding on various plans, Angel talked with Jon about the future prospects of the Mother Tree Network.
Jon also took this opportunity to let Angel publish some research or cultivation experiences on the forum when he was free, so as to increase the credibility of the Mother Tree Forum and attract more people to join the forum.
Angel also agreed and will publish it when he has time.
After doing all this, Angel stopped chatting with Jon.
When Angel was about to go offline, a "ding dong" sound sounded from the mother tree interconnector again. Angel thought Jon was still looking for something to do with him, but when he picked it up and looked at it, he found that what he had received was a message.
Friend requests.
Applicant: Dead Redemption.
When he saw this name, Angel was stunned for a moment.
He naturally knew who this name represented, Nice Byron.
The reason why I was stunned was because in an era when all Shuqun users used their real names, I actually saw a "screen name"?!
Although this online name is actually Nice's nickname, the moment this name appears, it is immediately distinguished from other people's real names and becomes unique.
"I didn't expect that guy from Nice to have already begun to understand the true meaning of online names not long after he came into contact with Shuqun..." Angel thought to himself in a funny way, and then added Nice as a friend.
After adding friends, an unread message immediately popped up on the tree group interface.
Salvation of the Dead: "Slate...Slate...I want the Slate..."
Just a few words, Angel always felt as if they carried Nice's rolling emotions.
"Are you okay?" Angel asked.
After a while, a new bubble popped up on the interface: "No problem, I'm just a little tired from being buried in the cracking slate these days."
Angel: "How about taking a rest?"
Nice quickly popped up a new message: "No!!! I feel like the crack is almost complete. I want a new slate now."
Angel was silent for a while, then agreed, and returned to reality to pull a new stone slab for Nice into the wilderness of dreams. After all, Nice rarely had such a serious moment to do research.
As soon as the slate was delivered, the bubbles in Nice immediately fell silent. I think the next time it lights up, it will probably be when new slates are urged.
Angel shook his head, turned off the Internet, and exited the Wilderness of Dreams.
…
The gondola continued to fly leisurely, Angel stretched and opened his eyes.
"Where are you flying to now?" Angel saw Luo Jia opposite him looking closely at him, embarrassment spreading in the air, so he spoke to break the silence.
"We have just left the third line of defense." The speaker was Luojia. After answering Angel's question, Luojia still looked at Angel. After a while, he asked: "Mr. Pat, what were you doing just now?
Resting in...?"
Angel understood Luojia's hidden meaning, why he could open and close his eyes for a while while taking a rest, and he also took out a strange conch and a stone slab.
There were too many things to explain here, and it was related to mysterious things and the wilderness of dreams. He didn't know how to explain it, so he said: "Yes, I am resting."
"Then just now..."
"Sleepwalking." Angel insisted.
Luo Jia was choked for a moment, with obvious disbelief in his eyes, but he opened his mouth and finally did not continue to ask.
Dangros is not as sensitive as Luojia. Although it also feels that Angel's behavior is a bit weird, it is not too important. The most important thing now is to please Toby while he is awake.
After dealing with Luojia hastily, Angel exhaled a breath, looked at the direction he was leaving, and controlled the gondola to accelerate.
According to Luojia, after leaving the central area of the Wild Stone Wasteland, there will be three large lines of defense. Each line of defense has stationed defenders and a large number of patrols, turning the Wild Stone Wasteland into a solid stone fortress.
Angel saw with his own eyes the strength of several defenders and patrollers, and then looked at the stone creatures everywhere. He couldn't help but think in his mind, if he didn't rely on Little Yinba's earth mark, but simply relied on hard work
Can you reach the core area if you break through?
It should still be possible, but the price will definitely be high.
This is just the Wild Stone Wasteland, and he can get a glimpse of the horrors of the elemental creature world. If he breaks into an area like the Shining Mountains, it would be several times more difficult to find their monarchs and wise men than in the Wild Stone Wasteland.
It took another four hours for Angel to fly to the last line of defense.
It sounds like it didn't take long, but the distance the gondola flew, converted into the distance of the Old Continent, was enough for him to go from the extreme north to the extreme south.
From this, it can also be seen that this continent is very large, and the inconspicuous wild stone wasteland is comparable to the entire area of the Old Continent.
After crossing the last line of defense, we arrived at the border. Here we could vaguely see the undulating golden sand dunes in the distance.
At this time, Luojia, who had remained silent, said: "Mr. Pat, the sky above the Tooth Desert is a no-fly zone. Unless there are earth creatures from the Tooth Desert flying with you, otherwise, it will be regarded as teasing the Tooth Desert.
"
Before Angel could complain about Luojia's misuse of words, he continued: "It doesn't matter if you are not noticed. But the Tooth Desert is full of flying sand and rocks. These are all the eyes of sand creatures, so it is difficult not to be noticed.
Discover. It’s best to follow the rules here and enter from the ground.”
Angel: "If you enter from the ground, they won't attack?"
Luojia: "If sir goes in alone, they will definitely still be blocked, but compared to taking the empty route, they will feel much less threatened. Even if they report to the wise man, as long as they can explain it clearly, the wise man will be lenient.
.”
Of course, the above premise is that Angel enters alone. Now that Luojia is here, as long as the identity is confirmed by the wise man, he probably won't face too many difficulties.
Angel thought for a while, but still followed Luo Jia's suggestion.
Each realm has its own rules. Since he is not planning to go to war with the Tooth Desert, it is better to abide by their rules.
When they were almost on the outskirts of the desert, Angel lowered the gondola and stepped in overland.
By this time, dusk had passed.
The temperature in the Tooth Extraction Desert is changing suddenly. Every few steps he takes, Angel can clearly feel that the surrounding temperature is still dropping.
When we arrived at the border of the Tooth Desert, the temperature was already close to freezing.
For Angel and Luojia, this temperature was completely within the acceptable range, but for Dangelos, it was a bit intolerable.
Almost his entire hand shrank from the cold, and the two fingers holding Xueye Sheng were also trembling.
When Angel saw this, he communicated with Ermi in his mind.
In the invisible shadow world, the blue lantern above Ermi's head swayed slightly, and in an instant, a shield of flame appeared near Dangros' position.
Under the protection of the flame, Dangros slowly returned to his normal shape.
While Dangross was recovering, at the same time, a quicksand whirlpool suddenly appeared in a sand dune directly in front of them.
While they were on guard, a desert half-man that looked like a magical lamp monster emerged from the quicksand.
