Chapter 2199: Chapter 2200: User Feedback
Angel: "How are things with the Mentor now?"
"I wasnāt really injured, itās Sumishe and Flora who got affected when the initial Godās Chosen exploded with energy. Floraās injury is minor, but Sumishe was unfortunately hurt even more," Sanders said, sighing. "If it hadnāt been for my support, his strength could have fallen below True Knowledge. In that case, even if his mental state remained unchanged, it would take several years to regain True Knowledge."
"And whatās the current situation with the Godās Chosen?"
Speaking of the Godās Chosen, Sanders felt a wave of fatigue: "Although the Godās Chosenās power has now regressed to Level 1 True Knowledge, the power bestowed by the Demon God is a spatial control capability. In the end, he tore open space directly to escape. I suspect heās hiding in some corner of the Void now..."
This Godās Chosen, while not as strong as Sanders, is extremely adept at escaping, especially with the Demon Godās enhancement of his spatial control abilities, making him difficult to capture.
Furthermore, given Angelās understanding of Demon God worshipers, this Godās Chosen, having previously gained power at the expense of other Red Plague worshipers, surely would not submit to Sandersā strength and is likely to seek revenge.
Angel wasnāt worried about the Godās Chosen taking revenge on Sanders, but his elusive abilities were indeed a great threat to Flora and Sumishe.
Sanders: "Thereās no need to worry about that. Iāve placed Flora and Sumishe in the Gravity Garden, so there shouldnāt be any issues."
Angel was momentarily stunned, right, they could still hide in the Gravity Garden.
Considering this, why hasnāt Sanders chosen to leave then?
"Flora insists on continuing her research on the Blood Fusion Virus, and Iām also preparing to kill the Godās Chosen," Sanders said, with an added undertone of coldness.
He normally isnāt like those of the Extreme Sect, killing others just for being Demon God worshipers, but acts according to his own preferences. However, this situation is different from usual; since the Godās Chosen attacked them, Sanders will certainly not choose to forgive. Moreover, Demon God worshipers, like members of the Extreme Sect, are madmen, always believing itās either you die or I perish, making reconciliation impossible.
Therefore, Sanders remains in the area where the Red Plague worshipers are located, while secretly laying out a plan to lure out the Godās Chosen.
Determined that Sanders was fine, Angel breathed a sigh of relief. He didnāt delve into exactly how Sanders would deal with the Godās Chosen, trusting that Sanders, given his resolve to kill, would be able to do it.
After discussing his own situation, Sanders also inquired about Angelās status.
Upon learning that Angel had helped Frode stabilize the spreading death crisis and had returned to the Old Earth Continent on his own, Sanders merely nodded; he didnāt seem too concerned.
However, Angelās next words caused Sanders to pause.
"Aside from visiting the estate, I also plan to see if thereās any suitable Elemental Creature when I return to the Old Earth Continent."
The statement seemed harmless, yet considering the overall environment of the Old Earth Continent, it was quite peculiar.
The Old Earth Continent, referred to as Edge Island in the Wizard Realm, isnāt called the edge due to a remote location, but because itās an Elemental Desert, where one can barely sense any Elemental Power and stands at the fringe of the Extraordinary World.
Among the quests in the Task Hall of various Witcher Organizations, the mystery of "Edge Islandās Elemental Disappearance" always remains, unsolved for thousands of years.
And now Angel suddenly claims he wants to find an Elemental Creature in the Elemental Desert, which is the peculiar part.
Sanders muttered "Elemental Creature" a few times, then looked up at the refined young man opposite him.
He seemed to have thought of something and wanted to ask several times, yet ultimately held back.
In the end, he gazed deeply at Angel and uttered just one sentence:
"Are you planning to start something big this time?"
Angel: "Huh?"
He deliberately mentioned Elemental Creatures to hint to Sanders that he was going to solve the unsolved mystery that had hung for thousands of years and already had clues... to pique Sandersā curiosity to ask for details, so he could then maintain a mysterious smile, profoundly saying āYouāll find out then,ā while witnessing Sandersā choked-up reaction, all to satisfy his tiny vanity.
However, Sanders didnāt ask for specifics; instead, he asked if he was planning to stir things up again? The turn of events was unexpected!
Moreover, is he the kind of person who often stirs things up? Angel couldnāt help but think indignantly.
"You are," Sanders pointed out bluntly, even without Angel speaking, guessing his thoughts.
Sanders rubbed his increasingly aching brow: "I canāt be bothered listing all the troubles youāve caused again; just tell me what scale youāre planning this time."
Angel was silent for a moment, deciding not to argue with the Mentor over irrelevant matters: "Iāve merely discovered a bit of a clue on the mystery of Elemental Disappearance, and Iām currently investigating."
Seeing Angelās serious expression, Sanders thought to himself: Itās probably not just investigation if heās talking about finding an Elemental Creature; he must have a much further clue.
An Elemental Creature in the Elemental Desert? What secret could this harbor... could it be the principle of extremes meeting?
Although aware Angel was withholding some facts, Sanders didnāt plan to press further.
Knowing Angelās character, since he deliberately brought this up, heāll eventually explain. āAfter all, the aftermath of the commotion still needs someone else to handle.
"You decide on your own, Iāll see what answer you can provide then," Sanders, despite criticizing Angel for stirring up trouble, appreciates big developments; although the bigger the issue, the more troublesome, it also signifies greater gains. The benefits of Angelās past exploits have been directly proportional to the commotions heās caused.
After this, Sanders ceased inquiries.
Angel opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but eventually remained silent. Itās not too late to reveal the secret of the Tidal World later.
They then chatted about some trivial updates, such as Sandersā rare approval of Floraās dedication to researching the Blood Fusion Virus; and Angel discussing Earl Miās control by the Seed of Distortion, transitioning to the topic of Demons of the Panic Realm.
The conversation lasted roughly half an hour, at which point Sanders intended to return to reality. The first reason was to guard against the Godās Chosenās surprise attack; the second was to prepare calculations for which type of Authority would suit Sumishe best.
...
After Sanders left, Angel planned to go offline as well but paused when recalling a message from Jon, pulling out the Mother Tree Interlinker.
Jon asked him to experience the new version features of the Tree Group, and then private message him.
Thinking of this, Angel followed the prompts and found the "Function Integration" at the bottom of the new version of the Tree Group interface. With a gentle touch, a row of new function buttons appeared.
These function buttons were previously unavailable, evidently part of the update content of this Version 0.
Angel did not immediately check the specific functions but first clicked on the topmost function button: Update Announcement.
As soon as it was clicked, a new page popped up.
This announcement page is in the parchment letter format that wizards are very familiar with, and the font is invented by Jon himself. It looks fancy but doesnāt fully let go, maintaining a bit of restraint and introversion.
At first glance, this font looks like someone who desires to be free-spirited but must appear serious.ššāÆš¦šš¦š£ššššš.šā“š
Previously, when Lianna saw this font while looking at Jonās upload of the "Overview and Detailed Rules of New City Planning" on the Mother Tree Forum, her comment was: Judging by the font, Jon is very much like you and Sanders, both being very repressed.
Angel, however, felt that Lianna was simply taking the opportunity to belittle Sanders, and he and Jon were just incidental. He didnāt consider this font repressive but rather reserved.
Angel admired the font with full appreciation, then focused on the update announcement.
The content of the announcement was all about the introduction of new features after the Tree Groupās version update.
Angel had previously noticed the removal of bubble color distinctions, replaced by name distinctions; the recording of message send time was reflected in the announcement content.
In addition, there was mention of the roles of each function key in the "Function Integration".
These include editing personal profiles, friend lists, adding friends, etc.
The announcement content was not much, but every feature was a major iteration, gradually aligning with Earthās social software.
Angel also experienced the different features one by one according to the update announcement.
The personal profile is fundamental; every new user entering the Tree Group will fill out their profile first. Existing users can also edit their profiles, but the current version doesnāt support unlimited edits; changes can only be made once.
Since the Tree Group currently doesnāt have many users, Jon knows all the user names, so he has considerately filled in Angelās name on the personal profile.
Angel could edit and change it; he could use Transcendental Wizard instead of his real name. However, in the current Mother Tree network environment, except for Jonās name being "Tree Group Development Team", everyone still uses real names instead of screen names.
Angel has a vision beyond the current network era, but he doesnāt plan to go against the flow now, so he didnāt change the name.
As for the details like the friend list, Angel checked all of them, and there were basically no errors.
After all, Jon stands on the shoulders of predecessors, having experienced the era of information explosion. He has a clear direction and plan, so no matter how the Tree Group develops, it wonāt be too bad.
After Angel finished experiencing it, he sent friend requests to Sanders and Jon.
Sanders was already offline and didnāt accept it temporarily, but Jon accepted Angelās request immediately.
Soon after accepting, Jon sent Angel a message: "Did you experience the new version? What do you think?"
Angel knows Jonās character well; he hurriedly asked not because he was not confident in his work but simply needed user feedback or a special case like Angel to provide feedback.
The Tree Group, which Jon established, mimics Earthās network era social software, and the client group of Earthās social software are naturally modern humans of the information age. Although humans dominate the Wizardsā Realm, Jon worries that due to the difference in civilizations, such software may not adapt well in this realm.
So, someone like Angel, who understands both Earthās civilization and the wizarding world, is needed for client feedback.
"Do other users have any opinions about the new version?" Angel didnāt answer immediately and asked instead.
Jon: "Not really, theyāre using it quite fluently. The witch Lianna is already urging for more interlinkers. Iāve already ground all my Mother Tree branches into powder; for now, thereās still some capacity to supply. But with a large number of Transcendents entering the New City every day, I estimate these Mother Tree branch powders wonāt last long. I contacted you also intending for you to bring more branches to me."
"Iāll give you the Mother Tree branches later." Angel paused, then continued typing: "Since no one has any complaints, and the Transcendent users are surging, doesnāt this mean the new version of the Tree Group is quite good?"
Jon: "Well, thatās true, but without a root server, I donāt know if new users prefer browsing the Mother Tree Forum or the Tree Group."
The Mother Tree Forum has not been updated yet, but the Tree Group has been iterated, which is why Jon is apprehensive about the new version of the Tree Group.
"The monitoring of data flow is indeed something that needs attention. Iāll delve into the Mother Tree network later and materialize this feature in the immersive network through server means. At that time, Iāll distribute permission to you." Angel said.
Jon immediately replied with joyful affirmation: "Big data might be useless initially, but it will be very useful in the future."
Angel brought the topic back: "Letās talk about my thoughts. Just as I said before, since other users arenāt averse to the new version of the Tree Group, it means theyāre accepting this setup."
"From my personal experience, itās quite good, but many features seem not yet included, like creating a new chat group."
Currently, thereās only one chat group in the entire Tree Group, and all users are in it. Just now, Angel glanced at it and found it was full of Lianna giving instructions, providing opinions on New City construction, and apprentices involved in the construction responding according to her ideas.
It has essentially devolved from a general discussion group into a chat group for New City construction.
This has already shown an imbalance in the chat group, requiring new chat groups for separation.
Moreover, when Angel looked at the previous chats, besides Lianna, he occasionally saw the bubbles of Ironclad Granny and Tree Spirit, but the chat bubbles of Kudodo, Babaya, and others had completely disappeared since the beginning.
After all, with different levels... when Angel spoke in the chat group initially, they all trembled. With such greater presences appearing in the chat group, they wouldnāt dare to be presumptuous. Fearing to say something wrong, they simply didnāt chat in the group at all.
This obviously goes against the original intention of establishing the chat group.
Jon: "I know about this too, but meals have to be spoon-fed; if too much is given at once, theyād also be overwhelmed. Version 0 primarily focuses on private chats and adding friends."
"In future versions, weāll talk about creating new chat groups. Iām also considering whether to completely remove the chat group creation restriction like Earthās civilization, or adopt a guild-like application system."
