Ren's voice snapped Betty out of her daydreaming, and she immediately said with some annoyance: "They all use life magic but treat magic like witchcraft, insisting their life magic is druid professional skills. The Highland Kingdom is the same—even though they're protected by the Elf Kingdom, they're a genuine human kingdom! Why are they like this too!"
"Maybe because of the druid sect? They seem to worship the God of Nature, right?" Ren said somewhat uncertainly: "I was originally worried they'd be too conservative and wouldn't want to change by using the Magic Net. Turns out the problem is even trickier than I thought."
Getting believers of other sects to pray to the Goddess of Magic and himself wasn't going to be easy...
Betty snorted lightly, "The Church of Light are still believers of the God of Light, and the church has the strictest rules among all gods, but didn't they still choose to use the Magic Net?!"
"Huh? The Church of Light is using the Magic Net?"
Ren was obviously stunned, then showed a look of sudden understanding: "Those really weak faith powers came from them, right! I was wondering why I'd been receiving some pretty thin faith power lately."
"Yeah, the more powerful the Light believers, the less faith power they provide when praying, but they're still praying after all, and faith power is definitely being generated, so..."
"As long as it generates faith, let them use it." Ren waved his hand: "The Church of Light's headquarters is right in the Kingdom of Dawn's capital. Using the church's hands to spread the Magic Net to all Light churches throughout the world isn't that a good thing?"
He seemed to suddenly understand how those red dots had been popping up in various small places!
This was pretty good too—thin faith was still faith, right?
Even a trickle feeds the well!
Besides, while each person's faith might be thin, the whole church added up was still quite substantial.
Also, how many powerful clerics could there be?
Most clerics were still low-level, so the weakening wasn't that obvious, right?
Plus, the Church of Light wasn't just in the Kingdom of Dawn—almost all human nations worldwide had Light faith. Using their hands to cover most of the world with the Magic Net was also a good thing, wasn't it?
After a brief silence, Ren finally spoke: "Since clerics from the Church of Light and Church of the God of War all use the Magic Net, the Elf Kingdom should be a matter of time too. Once they realize the Magic Net's usefulness, it should be about right."
"Hope so..." Betty opened her mouth but didn't say what she was thinking.
Actually, the biggest reason for being blocked in the Elf Kingdom was that the Elf Queen was theoretically the leader high priestess of the druid nature sect—they were a nation where politics and religion were unified.
Without the Elf Queen's support, the Magic Net would never see the light of day in the Elf Kingdom.
After a brief silence, Betty seemed to think of something and suddenly spoke: "Um, Ren, I think the Magic Net itself, or rather Magic Space, should get some updates. As we get more and more casual believers, the information in Magic Space is getting kind of noisy?"
"Noisy? Oh, yeah. Right now their posts are sorted by popularity, but with so many people posting now, lots of posts might get buried."
Ren paused slightly, but quickly reacted: "Got it! We can split this whole Magic Space forum into multiple forums. That way, everyone can quickly find topics they're interested in."
"Split it up?"
"Like, click on 'Magic' and you get all magic-related posts, click on 'Arrays' and you get all array posts, 'Runes,' 'Magical Items,' 'Magical Creatures,' etc.—everything can be split up."
Originally Ren was thinking of handling it like regular forum categories, but in the process of explaining, he suddenly thought of online forums: "We could even let users create these subcategories themselves—'Ruins,' 'Food,' 'Etiquette,' 'Bounties,' etc. There are so many possibilities. What we can think of is too limited, but what they want to talk about is unlimited."
Letting users create their own 'forums' for things they were interested in and then chat freely inside was obviously a better and more complete choice.
Actually, online forums were originally an excellent product too, just got ruined later.
Besides the overall restructuring, Ren also suggested adding some small features to enrich the fun of the entire Magic Space.
"This method is absolutely fantastic! Ever since we got more believers, some people started complaining about this issue. I've been worrying about whether there's a way to solve it, but couldn't think of any good solutions. Now hearing your advice is like having the scales fall from my eyes. You truly deserve to be the inventor of the Magic Net! Lord Ren! My admiration for you... wait, why do you look disappointed? Logically, after reforms like this, all problems should be solved!"
After hearing Ren's reform suggestions, Book literally glowed with excitement, praise flowing endlessly. But even so, after the excitement, he noticed Ren's expression and couldn't help feeling puzzled.
"No, nothing, it's fine."
Ren waved his hand: "Hurry up and make the changes. When you're done, update it together with the Magic Encyclopedia's level. That should basically perfect all existing functions."
"Are you thinking about some weird function again?"
After Book left, Betty thought about it and still asked: "Or do you have some new idea?"
"No." Ren shook his head slightly: "Actually I was just thinking, if our Magic Net could transmit pictures, even videos, how great that would be. Too bad the natural magic power scattered throughout the mortal realm isn't nearly enough to support picture transmission."
The magic power scattered everywhere was like a 2G network—fine for transmitting text, but transmitting pictures was pretty much impossible.
Even if they forced development, it would probably freeze up during transmission.
"Pictures? Videos?"
"Images. Pictures are scenes that appear instantly, videos are continuous sequences, like how we watch everything in the mortal realm." Ren quickly explained these two terms that were very foreign to Betty.
"Actually I do have an idea." After thinking briefly, Betty smiled: "Remember the self-charging arrays?"
"Of course, what's the connection?" Ren was obviously stunned, but quickly reacted: "You mean Magic Net information could be transmitted through the stronger magic power of self-charging arrays?"
"More precisely, through the self-charging arrays we've enhanced. But we'd need some magical item assistance—first magic cores for signal transmission from self-charging arrays, then borrowing self-charging arrays for each person using the Magic Net."
Betty analyzed carefully: "But there's still a problem here. Even if we upgrade them, the range self-charging arrays can cover is still limited."
"No, this is already great. Plus, isn't this just the basic version? You need to take the first step before you can take the second. When you have time, study it carefully." Ren was getting excited.
If this could succeed, wouldn't that be like having broadband, wired network?
This was definitely major progress.
Though it seemed like implementing it would require popularizing self-charging arrays first.
Maybe it was time to give self-charging arrays a new name... like Magic Power Network?! Similar to a fusion of power grids and broadband from his previous life!
At this moment, in the Kingdom of Dawn's capital, in the nobles' district, a special small-scale banquet was quietly unfolding.
