Laws of the Insect Hive

The entire digital sea, like boiling water, began to tumble violently, and just a few seconds later, the entire digital sea, whether it was solid or liquid, spun like a tornado.

And the white ball of light he turned into quietly stood still in the center of the tornado.

System could feel the turbulent flow of numbers pouring into the white sphere of light where he was, and his sphere of light began to grow little by little.

During this process, System heard a humming sound again.

System had a feeling that it seemed that his ability had some connection with the voice of the world.

After that, System felt that his consciousness gradually became a little blurry, and he fell asleep again...

...

When System woke up in the sea of ​​numbers again, three days had passed, the sea of ​​numbers had returned to normal at this time, and the strengthening of [Pupation] seemed to be completely over.

He is still the ball of light, and there are still those few capable planets that revolve around him.

It seems that his light ball itself has become larger, and the entire digital sea has become several times larger.

But System soon discovered the peculiarity of the Digital Sea—light and line.

The dim numbers 0 and 1 in the past were now emitting a faint white light, not only in his sea of ​​numbers, but at a position very far away from the sea of ​​numbers, System seemed to see the faintly bright stars in the sky.

System knew that these faintly luminous stars were the [numerical templates] he had given to other creatures.

The sphere of light where he is located is like the center of a galaxy or the universe, and these distant stars are all revolving around him.

System discovered that there was a kind of transparent thread between these distant [Data Templates] and his sphere of light. This thread was vague, but it was real.

Through these threads, System can even directly view and modify the contents of those [Data Templates].

Not only that, these silk threads System can also be manipulated to make these transparent silk threads connect with each other at will to form unique nodes, and then connect these nodes to his light sphere.

If System were to describe it, then these nodes and threads were like the network of System’s previous life.

...

Facts are also the same as what System saw and felt in the Digital Sea.

Through this strengthening, System's [Numerical Code] (10/10) has been directly upgraded to [Numerical Code] (21/21), which has become an extraordinary ability. The various derivative abilities of other [Numerical Code] are also mostly It has reached the level of extraordinary ability, even if it has not reached level 21, it is still around level 19 and 20.

However, because the ability of [Numerical Code] is relatively special, the ability goes from the ordinary to the magic, and directly reaches the extraordinary. System did not feel how his ability has changed qualitatively.

System's feeling was probably the computer mainframe that cost 10,000 yuan and the computer mainframe that cost 1,000 yuan in the previous life. The performance has become several times stronger. As for more, System needs to explore carefully.

And in this strengthening process, System's biggest gain is that he has acquired a brand new ability [Data Network], which are those transparent thin lines in the digital sea.

[Data Network] also comes with two derivative capabilities, [Data Terminal] and [Data Node].

...

【Data Network】(21/21): Special abilities obtained by 【Numerical Code】, 【Pupation】and unknown power. Connect different [Data Terminals] and [Data Nodes] to each other. System's unique ability.

[Data Terminal] (20/21): Obtain special abilities from [Data Network] and [Data Template]. All [Data Templates] can be considered as [Data Terminals]. It can consume a certain amount of energy to connect with other [Data Terminals] or [Data Nodes].

[Data Node] (19/21): Derived power obtained by [Data Network], [Data Terminal]. A [Data Node] can be formed by connecting three or more [Data Terminals] to each other. [Data Node] has simple computing power and recording power.

...

The combination of several abilities of [Data Network] made System feel like he had returned to the Internet world of his previous life.

Creatures with [Data Templates] are [Data Terminals], which can be regarded as home computers.

[Data Nodes] can be regarded as network servers, which are connected to each other and finally connected to System.

System has undoubtedly changed the operator of the entire network, and how the network operates is in his mind.

...

Because System had nothing to do during the long pupation process, System quickly experimented with the [Data Network].

After a simple experiment, System found that the power of [Data Network] had some limitations.

The most important factor of limitation is the consumption of mental power.

Although he can use [Data Network] to view or modify [Data Templates] with other creatures, the consumption of viewing different [Data Templates] is very different.

For example, checking the [Data Template] of the Lizardmen near the Krypton Gold Tower consumes very little, even less mental energy than checking with [Mental Connection].

And looking at the five Hydra brothers who are still playing "Lord Kill" more than a thousand kilometers away consumes a lot more, which is roughly equivalent to 20 times the consumption of looking at the lizardmen.

However, the consumption of only twenty times, System can still bear it, and it is probably just the feeling of opening the [mental network] for a dozen lizardmen.

System continued to upgrade the test to check on Beethoven, the legendary insect beast who was still creating music on the 277th floor of the abyss.

System found that the consumption of crossing the abyss was dozens of times more expensive, about three thousand times that of looking at the lizardmen, and System's spirit would feel slightly strained.

And if you look at the [Data Template] process of other planes, this consumption will continue to double.

For example, System can check the [Data Template] of the old Lich Kazassim in the Netherland, and he can see that the old Lich is still playing the game "Plants vs. Undead".

However, the consumption of System's inspection has reached an astonishing fifty thousand times. System has only observed for a while, and his spirit will have some dizziness.

...

After testing, System found that this network wanted to be fully opened, allowing all [Data Templates] to connect to each other, forming a real Internet is undoubtedly a joke.

And System wants to develop an online game, make a pvp mode, and attract those legendary creatures to go crazy for gold, which is simply impossible.

Because System provided the network across planes, he couldn't afford this consumption at all.

At present, System can also open the Internet at this level of the abyss, allowing the [data templates] between the lizardmen to connect with each other, send some messages or trade krypton gold points.

And if the lizardmen and snakemen use the Internet too frequently, System will be burdened a lot.

In order to save mental power, his best course of action is to not turn on the network.

However, System, who was thinking, suddenly realized a key point-why did he provide the Internet for free and make selfless dedication?

Why let them surf the Internet for free without paying for it?
