"Welcome to Magic Network Company’s sixth-generation wristwatch. Would you like to initiate the master recognition program?" This time, it wasn’t through a panel, but directly through a voice. Du You responded aloud: "Yes." "Initiating owner verification program, beginning a full-body scan; recording successful. Starting to scan palm prints; scan successful. Commencing iris scan, scan successful, information recorded. Performing DNA validation; recording successful." Du You felt a slight pain in his wrist, realizing that the watch even had needles to draw blood for analysis. It truly is a high-end piece of black tech considering it can analyze genes. If one were to talk about this world’s overall technological prowess, in basic aspects, it’s not even up to the standard of the Earth from his previous life. However, when it comes to black tech, it was much more advanced. Many of these high pieces of tech were brought over directly from other worlds. Earth inhabitants can manufacture and understand the principles behind them, but lack long-standing development history. It could be said that if Earth were to experience a cataclysmic event, its inhabitants might not even be capable of creating these devices themselves. Nevertheless, Earth’s development is primarily focused on transitioning between worlds rather than technology. This wristwatch likely came from some piece of black tech from another world, it underwent modifications here before eventually finding a place in this world. "Master, hello! Welcome to the sixth-generation wristwatch. Would you like to connect to the Magic Network? The Magic Network is the largest and most comprehensive resource distribution center on the globe." Du You readily agreed and the Magic Network started connecting. Fresh chapters posted on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍 It is rumored that the Magic Network can pervade the entire Earth, there are no dead zones. Regardless of whether you’re above or below ground, on land or at sea, as long as you’re on Earth, you should be able to connect to the Magic Network. No one knows if this is actually the case. Regardless of these matters, Du You immediately began exploring it. "First, connect me to the knowledge I need." "What type of knowledge does the master need?" "Can’t you see for yourself?" Du You said, rolling his eyes in disdain. "Please select the required knowledge. The wristwatch will automatically search for it on the Magic Network." Alright, it seemed Du You finally understood; the wristwatch’s AI was still only an assistant, not a piece of high-level artificial intelligence. "What a piece of black tech, negative review for not having high-level intelligence." "High-level intelligence is very dangerous. Once out of control, it could pose a significant risk. Therefore, high-level AI isn’t allowed on the network." Surprisingly the wristwatch’s AI responded at this time. "So it’s not that it can’t be done, but it was deliberately made this way. Forget it, these aren’t the things I need to worry about. As long as it works, it’s fine." Du You muttered to himself, preparing to start his search. However, before Du You could start his search, basic networking rules and some applicable legal policies appeared. Don’t ever think that Earth has no laws as it has become a type of transworld. Contrarily, the laws have become more strict. The saying "strict laws are needed in times of chaos" just fits this chaotic context perfectly. Since the Awakeners encounter numerous fights for resources in Other Worlds and conflicts are abundant, there’s a need for even stronger means of maintaining stability in the real world. If these Awakeners were let go to fight freely, it would probably bring the end of humanity. Therefore, before doing anything, it’s best to fully understand the law so as not to breach it. Similarly, laws surrounding the usage of the Magic Network have also been established by various alliances. Once violated, the police will be at your doorstep in no time. The police force on this Earth, they’re nothing to be trifled with. One could only dream of becoming a police officer without great power. Being patient, Du You committed all the legal provisions and some usage rules to memory, before finally truly entering the Magic Network. "Alright, first question, what’s the time ratio between the Derived World and the real world?" Du You directly asked the watch. As soon as the watch finds the answer, it will let him know. "One minute in the real world is equivalent to one day in the Derived World; this is consistent across all Derived Worlds." "Then what’s this situation I’m in, one hour corresponds to one day, what’s the deal with that?" "According to a system search, the time ratio between the Outer Worlds and the real world is one hour to one day. However, exceptions exist where time ratios are not fixed. One hour to one day is the highest ratio." "Outer Worlds? It seems like I’ve heard that term somewhere. Explain the situation with Outer Worlds to me." Du You narrowed his eyes, could it be that he hadn’t gone to the Derived World, but what’s this thing called Outer World? Soon, an article appeared, explaining the differences between the Outer World and the Derived World. Gradually, Du You understood. The so-called Derived World is an incomplete world that takes the real world as its core and is attached to it. These worlds have something similar to the plot lines of movies. Once the plot is over, the world is refreshed, and it starts all over again, in a repeating cycle. They originally sprouted from Earth, which is why it’s called the Derived World. However, some worlds did not derive from Earth, they inherently exist. These worlds are akin to Earth, they don’t have a fixed plot, and can be considered a normally developing real world. Since these worlds are considered to genuinely exist but aren’t rooted in Earth, they are hence called Outer Worlds. Every Outer World is incredibly precious. Many people are eager to find clues leading to Outer Worlds because being able to control the entrance to an Outer World implies a constant flow of knowledge and materials. If used well, one Outer World can even support the development of a powerful organization. Speaking of which, it seems I’ve hit the jackpot. I originally thought using a white crystal coin as a base to earn so many white crystal coins and equipment was already very lucky. However, I didn’t expect that I would come across an Outer World. Thinking of his goblin statue, which has three opportunities to enter the Yalan World, Du You vaguely understood the true value of this object. The value of this world may not resonate with many students, but it’s a different story for Du You. He spent many years in society in his previous life, although he was always a small fry, his horizon had broadened. The way the big shots think, the value of these special things, although unclear, but Du You had some understanding. Considering the goblin statue, Du You thought for a moment and finally decided to keep it. Maybe selling it would benefit him greatly, but if he could develop it properly, it could be even more beneficial to him. The question now is whether the Yalan World has been discovered by others.
