Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 3278: Chapter 3279: Viewing Experience

As Angel and Sipolov reached a consensus, their conversation came to an end.

Next was the commission contract between Sipolov and the Dog Deacon.

Since this involved privacy issues, Angel and the others naturally chose to avoid it.

However, Luigi seemed quite interested in Sipolov’s commission, and as he left the reception room, he turned back several times, apparently wanting to know more.

”Are you interested in Sipolov’s commission?” Angel asked Luigi through the Mind Ribbon.

Luigi: ”A bit interested, but my interest is not what you think.”

Luigi explained briefly.

Simply put, from the various information previously obtained, whether from macro speculation or the intelligence supplemented by Uncle Kuo and Xenia, it all seemed to hint that Sipolov’s commission at the Everything House was a ”big” deal, highly likely related to the Ice Country war.

But if the commission is indeed related to the Ice Country war, wouldn’t that mean Gutalace’s previous prediction was correct?

You must know that every past serious conjecture by Gutalace has never been successful.

This has always been the iron rule for many years.

But this time, from various details, Gutalace’s prediction seems to be getting close to the truth.

Could it be that this time Gutalace will succeed in overturning the ”prediction always wrong” rule?

Luigi has always enjoyed watching the excitement; he doesn’t care what Sipolov’s commission is; he’s interested in whether Gutalace’s prediction will be accurate this time.

If Gutalace succeeds, then thereafter he and Glaipnir can’t take her predictions as contrary evidence.

Angel rubbed his chin: ”If Sipolov’s commission can alarm the Deacon, it certainly isn’t a small matter. With Sipolov’s achievements and status now, it’s difficult to produce a major commission; from this, it seems highly probable it’s really related to the Ice Country war.”

Could Gutalace really succeed this time?

They chatted idly as they headed towards the main hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, they saw a vertical mirror entrance on one side, looking like a pushed open door, except this door was a glass door.

Since the entrance wasn’t closed, Angel and the others could clearly see the scene inside.

——Little Red squatted on the ground, holding a magnifying glass, observing a corpse of an unknown creature up and down.

”This corpse should be the hollow corpse from Little Red’s previous commission task with no Star Level, right?” Angel softly said.

Laplace, walking beside him, glanced at it and nodded lightly: ”It’s a hollow corpse, and a remnant body.”

Although she didn’t directly perceive the condition of the corpse, she had seen too many hollow corpses, just from the characteristics of that remnant body’s cross-section, she could infer its ruin was certainly related to the erosion by the Sea of Void Mirror.

Moreover, Laplace could further deduce from some details its origin.

”The body is incomplete but highly likely of beast species. The erosion was very strong and carried vortex scratches, likely caught in the void mirror vortex when emerging from the Sea Eye.”

”Void mirror vortex” is a natural phenomenon of the Sea of Void Mirror, not uncommon.

Therefore, trying to reverse trace the vortex place from a corpse proves difficult; however, this remnant corpse is different. The vortex it went through can be deduced.

Because, currently, only the Ancient Tooth Fairy can retrieve hollow corpses; although this corpse is at the Everything House, it must have originally come from the Ancient Tooth Fairy. And Laplace is very familiar with the ”fishing zone” where the Ancient Tooth Fairy operates.

The Ancient Tooth Fairy is also very cautious about safety; they wouldn’t actively fish in areas with high vortex chances. So if a vortex suddenly appears, it must be unexpected.

Such abrupt vortex appearances, especially in the Ancient Tooth Fairy fishing zone, with a timescale not exceeding six months, there are merely two.

And among these two ”void mirror vortices,” one vortex is related to the Wild Realm and the other to the Hante World.

So, the origin of this remnant corpse can basically be pinpointed.

”It’s either a beast species or magical creature from the Wild Realm or a mind beast from the Hante World.”

Laplace gave her conclusion.

And as she said this, Little Red happened to walk out from the mirrored space.

Although Little Red was always in the mirror, since she hadn’t closed the door, she could hear the sounds from the outside world. Laplace’s analysis she heard in its entirety.

”Sister with the hair is amazing, completely correct...I just smelled its scent; it indeed is a mind beast that lost its way.” Little Red’s eyes flashed with surprise and admiration. She discovered the information solely using her ability, but this silver-haired sister with odd eyes deduced the answer with just a few guesses, which was much more impressive.

Little Red has always admired people with more knowledge than herself, be it the Dog Deacon or others... now adding Laplace to her list.

Little Red happily ran to Laplace’s side, wanting to inquire about some questions in Laplace’s previous deduction.

Except Laplace had no intention of teaching.

It’s not that she was unwilling to teach; it was merely a matter of experience to see through the remnant corpse’s background. This kind of experience, without experiencing the Sea of Void Mirror personally, is quite difficult to comprehend.

Teaching it would be futile.

Though Little Red felt a bit let down, she didn’t pester excessively and instead brought up the Dog Deacon’s message.

Although the Dog Deacon was still discussing the commission contract with Sipolov, it didn’t hinder it from secretly using a token to communicate with Little Red.

”Doggy brother said it’s close to completing the process soon, won’t take more than a few minutes, and the contract will be signed.” Little Red: ”So, let me entertain the distinguished guests first.”

”No need for hospitality.” Angel waved his hand: ”Time is almost up, the external display is about to begin. We plan to go see today’s show.”

Little Red: ”Do you have to go out to watch? Actually, you can watch here.”

Angel paused: ”You can watch here?”

Little Red nodded.

With her explanation, Angel roughly understood the reason.

This time, the exhibition stage is exceptionally large, with a total of forty-four ordinary display platforms and one main stage. Even onsite viewing makes it difficult to see all the content on the platforms.

The Crystal Eye Clan facilitated viewing the exhibition stages by opening the mirror projection function.

From the 5000th to the 5200th floors, temporary settlements of all the clans within these two hundred floors can connect to mirror projection.

And the so-called mirror projection, Little Red demonstrated it.

She used the mirror that housed the hollow corpse earlier to conduct an experiment; closing the mirror gate, the mirror surface became non-transparent, displaying a mercury sheen.

At this moment, Little Red reached out to touch the mirror surface, then closed her eyes, communicating with the mirror projection rights of the Everything House.

With the upper-level approval, the rights for the mirror projection began to be delegated.

Ripples like water waves started to undulate on the mirror surface, and as they spread, colors began to appear on the mirror surface.

When the ripples completely disappeared, the mirror projection was fully revealed on the Mirror Gate.

Through the Mirror Gate, one can clearly see a ”Triangular Peak” shrouded in mist.

Angel had previously seen the outline of the presentation platform outside, without a doubt, this Triangular Peak is the presentation platform.

Little Red nodded at the top of the ”Triangular Peak,” and the perspective started to zoom in and enlarge continuously.

In no time, the main presentation platform at the top of the summit was presented within the mirror.

However, the main presentation platform is currently still enveloped in mist, making it unclear, but this isn’t much of a problem. In terms of timing, in about five minutes, when the presentation officially begins, these mists will dissipate.

Little Red demonstrated the projection of the mirror again, as long as you reach out to touch the blank space on the mirror, the perspective will pull back into the distance. Then by performing touch operations again, you can continue to select other presentation platforms to watch.

Moreover, during the viewing process, if you find the content of this presentation platform uninteresting, you can switch to another presentation platform anytime.

Also, for the same presentation platform, you can adjust different perspectives and distances until you find the most comfortable viewpoint.

It can be said that the Crystal Eye Clan has put great effort into enhancing the viewing experience for all races.

The above is Little Red’s explanation.

But from Angel’s perspective, the Giant City Spirit of the Crystal Eye Clan might have helped significantly with the mirror projection. Yet, with the Crystal Eye Clan’s technology, they likely couldn’t achieve such meticulous detail, much less consider ”viewing experience.” These details were most likely improved with help from Pirush.

And actually, it’s not hard to confirm this suspicion.

According to previous information obtained from the Pika Sage, this collaboration between Pirush and the Crystal Eye Clan primarily involved interaction technology.

Interactions mean communication and interchange.

Things like product updates in the display catalog, real-time chat, temporary announcements... all reflect interaction technology.

Therefore, following this principle, just asking whether this mirror projection involves interaction can confirm if it’s a function by Pirush.

”Interaction?” Little Red didn’t know if there was such a function, but she had the Dog Deacon standing behind her.

Through the token, Little Red quickly got the message from the Dog Deacon.

”There really is!” Little Red nodded while relaying the response given by the Dog Deacon.

Each race’s leader has the right to request dialogue with the presentation platform in real-time.

This means when the presenter steps onto the platform, if the content attracts certain races, they can communicate in real-time with the presenter on the platform through their race leader’s mirror projection.

Of course, the premise is that the presenter must agree to communicate with you; if they close the communication rights, then there’s nothing that can be done.

As soon as you step on the platform, the presenter holds the greatest authority.

”Besides being able to communicate with the presenter in real-time, it seems the Crystal Eye Clan also mentioned being able to use the number of viewers to rank the platform’s popularity.”

Out of forty-five platforms, each has its own ranking.

The more viewers a given platform has, the higher its popularity, and thus higher the ranking.

Through ”popularity ranking,” viewers can intuitively confirm which platform’s display content is more appealing.

Of course, the ranking is just a reference, and it will dynamically change as the presenter leaves the stage, with a hot platform perhaps becoming deserted in the next moment due to a change in personnel.

Upon hearing this, Angel was very sure this mirror projection function was 100% Pirush’s doing.

Only Pirush’s brain, full of crafty ideas, could come up with such an advanced concept of a ”hot list.”

No need to say, upon hearing about the hot list, Angel also felt the urge to plagiarize...no, to borrow the idea.

If used in ”Wilderness Traveler News,” or on forum hot threads, it seems quite good?

While Angel was lost in thought, Little Red continued, ”This time the leader of the Everything House is the Ghost Steward, but the Ghost Steward can transfer permissions to Doggie Brother anytime.”

In other words, as long as the Dog Deacon wants to obtain interaction permissions, he can always exchange them from the Ghost Steward.

At this point, Little Red gazed at everyone with sparkling eyes: ”Do you want to watch the presentation here? Doggie Brother said he understands all of this time’s multi-racial presentations!”

The implication being, while watching the presentation here, you can get more detailed information from the Dog Deacon.

Angel didn’t immediately respond, instead he consulted with Laplace and Luigi through the Mind Ribbon.

Ultimately, they unanimously agreed not to rush back to the Mana Hut, and decided to stay here and watch the presentation.

Although returning to the Divine Eye Tribe’s base would allow interaction with presenters on the platform via Gutalace’s permissions, Gutalace’s information is much weaker compared to that of the Everything House.

Staying in the Dog House allows for free access to the Everything House’s information, a benefit outsiders would envy.

Angel conveyed the decision to Little Red, who immediately began arranging for the pre-viewing preparations.

What are the preparations?

According to Little Red, it definitely includes preparing comfortable sofas, delicious food, and treasured fine wine.

The first two were for Little Red, and the wine... was prepared for the Dog Deacon.

Angel glanced around the décor of the Dog House, it was indeed empty, with nothing inside. Although he personally didn’t mind, since Little Red desired a cozy viewing environment, he decided to help.

In Little Red’s amazed eyes, Angel used Illusion Technique to directly construct a cozy arrangement of furniture.

In an instant, he filled the Dog House to the brim.

Although Angel has certain shortcomings in city planning; in terms of interior design, he is quite adept, after all, he has seen various styles and even different civilizational interior layouts.

The style Angel constructed is slightly similar to Greya’s Barbie Restaurant, with a touch of fairy-tale flavor.

Everywhere there were colorful and soft pillows, rows of fairy-tale style dolls and soldiers, and even a cozy ball pit.

This style was specially chosen based on Little Red’s age.

From Little Red’s bright eyes, her hesitant movements fearing damage, and the emotional feedback under Hyper Perception, you could tell she couldn’t resist this fairy-tale-filled style at all.
