"I only have the black tea that a friend gave me before. If you don't mind..."

Old Qiezi was a little nervous. After all, he had just seen Lu Ban in the game before, and it was difficult to distinguish him from the real person.

He even had the illusion that the Lu Ban in the game and the Lu Ban in reality were the same person.

"No need to drink water, I'll just talk to you directly."

Lu Ban refused the black tea that might make him sleepy, he said.

"You said you can rub out flames?"

Hearing Lu Ban's words, Old Eggplant was suddenly shocked.

"How do you know it was me?"

He must have used a nickname online, and his personal information was well protected so it wouldn't be leaked. So, could it be that Lu Ban had found him through the Internet?

"I found it along the Internet cable."

Lu Ban answered casually.

"?"

Old Eggplant was stunned, not knowing for a moment whether this was a joke or true.

If it's true, isn't it too outrageous?

“Can you act that out again?”

Lu Ban did not explain, but asked.

“Uh uh…”

Old Eggplant nodded, then snapped his fingers, and a little flame rose at his fingertips.

Lu Ban looked at the flame, thoughtful.

“It seems we have reached this stage.”

He thought about his career development mission.

He needs to expand the influence of the magic network. First, he needs to build a magic network and then popularize it in the real world.

Moreover, the evaluation index this time is influence rather than the number of people affected or the number of accesses, so this judgment criterion is very vague.

However, Lu Ban simply inferred that the influence should be the impact of the magic network and the people connected to the magic network on the world. For example, if someone destroyed the world through the magic network, the influence would definitely be very high.

After being exposed to so many works, it is obvious that the world needs some shocking news.

In simple terms, it is the revival of spiritual energy, and in foreign lands, it is the revival of the past.

Because of the magic network, Lu Ban had previously briefly studied some descriptions of such events in works. The recovery process can generally be divided into several stages.

First, only a small number of people begin to awaken, and they usually hide themselves and act in the dark.

Then, higher-level forces intervened, forming a tussle under the sea.

Finally, it is the public's perception and the changes in the entire world structure.

As for now...

Lu Ban looked at Old Eggplant.

"It's normal to rub flames with your hands. As long as you have access to the magic network, it's easy to master this little magic."

He speaks his mind.

"ah?"

Old Eggplant didn't know how to answer.

Is this a setting in the game?

It can't be a realistic statement, right?

"There are many people like you. I am going to give you some small gifts."

Lu Ban continued speaking, he casually materialized a silver pen, glanced at the "Morning Star" that Old Eggplant placed next to the computer desk, and wrote something on it.

[Can access the magic network]

"?"

Old Eggplant had no idea what Lu Ban was doing and didn't dare to make a sound.

He thought he was quite socially competent and could communicate smoothly with strangers. However, when he saw Lu Ban, he felt he couldn't speak. The pressure from this director was extraordinary.

It wasn't the feeling of facing teachers or parents, but the unknown. Old Eggplant didn't know what Lu Ban was going to do next. This feeling lingered in his heart, making him tremble and dare not say much.

"Go back and wait for news. I will ask you to test some things first. Oh, about the magic network..."

Lu Ban paused for a moment and looked at Old Eggplant.

"You don't want some strange things to appear around you, do you?"

Old Eggplant's heart suddenly tightened, and he had the illusion that something was staring at him from behind.

He nodded hesitantly and watched Lu Ban leave.

After a while, Lao Qiezi received a text message on his mobile phone. The sender was from Silent Media. Because this number was also the one that prompted him to sign for the helmet, Lao Qiezi was able to confirm it.

The content of the text message was very simple, asking Lao Qiezi to update the [Morning Star] system after a week and then log in.

"…How did he get in just now?"

When Old Eggplant saw the text message, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the locked security door with a confused look on his face.

…

Lu Ban already had a general idea of ​​how to complete his professional tasks.

First of all, in one’s own world, there is something similar to the magic network, which is the Internet.

The magic network temporarily stores knowledge in the wizard's brain and can be retrieved at any time. The Internet actually stores and displays information and data on devices for users to view and experience.

So, to change the way of thinking, there is no need for Lu Ban to really instill knowledge into everyone's brains like the Kingdom of Darkness did.

All he needs is one device to do it.

And this device is [Morning Star].

Building a magic network based on the [Morning Star], allowing players to influence the world through the [Morning Star], seems to be the way to complete the task.

Just like in the Kingdom of Darkness, Lu Ban can create players' sludge clones in the places where he has left his mark, allowing players to use [Morning Star] to remotely control the sludge clones.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban quickly started the transformation work.

He possessed the [Fragments of the Magic Net], and he quickly used it to create a set of server terminals. This was the core of the Magic Net, and was also used as a "sacrifice".

All pollution will be stored in this server in the form of information and spread to the virtual reality helmets through access requests, and the players are just experiencers.

Of course, even so, the pollution will definitely affect the players subtly, just like Old Eggplant, who gradually began to show extraordinary characteristics due to the erosion of knowledge. However, compared with the invasion of Godzilla or the shroud of fog monsters, the current way of pollution spreading is relatively mild.

Lu Ban’s current goal is to start with a few people and gradually increase the pollution level of the entire world until it reaches a level that can resist the threats posed by most of the Chosen Ones from other worlds.

Lu Ban quickly screened the test players and found thirty-five players who had already undergone alienation.

They are all people who, when connected to the Magic Network, gained some knowledge from the Magic Network due to their personal physical differences and are able to display certain extraordinary abilities in reality.

Of course, their supernatural powers are very weak, and most of them can only start a fire or move a spoon on the table a few centimeters.

If you want to truly achieve excellence, you have a long way to go.

…

A week later.

Lao Qiezi updated the system of [Morning Star] as promised. During this period, the Internet was discussing when [Cage] would be tested, and various rumors emerged one after another.

He himself didn't pay attention to it, because Lao Qiezi was waiting for Lu Ban's update.

After the equipment was updated, Lao Qiezi immediately put on his helmet.

He discovered that in addition to the initial applications and games, there was another door in the sea of ​​stars.

Old Eggplant came to the door, he looked up and looked at the name of the application.

[A Quiet Place].
