Chapter 229 Open Source

The moonlight gently brushes across the winding paths of Lingshan like silver threads, and the silver mist lingers between the mountain paths, interweaving a picture that is both mysterious and tranquil.

On this quiet night, the little fox fairy, dressed in a light gauze and walking lightly, walked slowly into the depths of Lingshan under the moonlight.

As she went deeper, the fog in the mountains seemed to come alive, growing thicker and thicker, until everything around her was shrouded in a hazy veil. Only the stone steps under her feet were faintly visible in the moonlight, guiding the direction forward.

After an unknown amount of time, the little fox fairy suddenly stopped.

In front of her, there appeared a cave dug into the mountain, with the following inscription on it:

——Lingxuan Cave Heaven.

The little fox fairy took a deep breath, opened her red lips slightly, and said in a gentle but firm voice: "Lingxi greets the elder."

The sound entered the cave and echoed melodiously.

Soon, a gentle and deep breath came from the depths of the cave: "Come in!"

The little fox fairy calmed himself down and stepped in.

The cave is not big at first, but once you enter, you will see a different world. There are screens, desks, antique shelves... everything you can think of. It looks like a human residence.

After walking around the screen, I saw an old woman lying on a chair, rocking gently, as if she was resting with her eyes closed.

But for some reason, the little fox fairy always felt that the elders were probably surfing the Internet at this time.

The reason is simple: in this day and age, there are not many people who can take a nap and rest without distraction.

As the little fox fairy was looking at him, the elder opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "Lingxi, what's the matter with you visiting me so late at night?"

The little fox fairy took a few steps forward, bowed, and then whispered: "Disciple, I am here to apologize for my crime."

"Oh, it's fine, what's the crime?"

"My disciple disregarded the Immortal Court's order... and used the Internet without permission. Now he has integrated the fragments of the Great Dao and entered the realm of stopping the fire!"

As the little fox fairy spoke, he relaxed his body slightly, and the aura of extinguishing fire naturally dissipated.

This cultivation speed is absolutely amazing!

You know, she just entered the realm of alchemy years ago, which was already considered a genius. Now, in less than a year, she has made further progress. If the people of Lingshan knew about this, they would probably be shocked.

"The realm of stopping fire?"

The elder opened his cloudy eyes, looked up and down at the little fox fairy, and said after a long while:
"As the old saying goes, heroes are made by events, and it seems to be true now. When I reached the state of stopping fire, I had already reached the halfway mark of my lifespan, and there was no hope for me to become an immortal. It's really a matter of time and fate!"

The little fox fairy hesitated for a moment after hearing this and said, "Elder, don't you blame Lingxi?"

The cave was silent for a moment, with only the occasional chirping of insects being heard outside the cave.

The elder stared at the little fox fairy, a complex look flashed in his eyes: "Everything in the world has its time and its trend. Although the Internet has been banned by the Immortal Court, it is not a scourge. This is a dispute over the Taoist tradition of the Immortal Court. This kind of thing is not uncommon in history."

The little fox fairy was moved when he heard this, and looked up at the elder, his eyes full of confusion and expectation.

The elder continued, "Everything in the world has its own path. Although my fox clan hides in the mountains and forests, it cannot escape the influence of the times. Since you have taken this step, why bother to apologize? Just continue on your path and don't implicate my clan members in the future."

The little fox fairy was silent, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Elder, looking at the general situation in the world, there may be signs of chaos. Our Lingshan fox clan should have made preparations early. Lingxi believes that looking at the world, only the Internet treats our demon clan the most generously. Why don't we join the Internet together..."

"Ok?"

Before the little fox fairy finished speaking, the elder suddenly let out a sharp nasal sound.

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Lingxi knows."

After revealing her purpose, the little fox fairy was no longer nervous. She looked at the elder seriously and said, "Thanks to your wise leadership, our Lingshan fox clan has been able to stay in a corner, bide our time, and grow stronger. However, there are signs of chaos in the world now. With the strength of our fox clan, we can only survive by joining a powerful family."

"However, looking at the Southern Continent, even the self-proclaimed fair sects only regard us as auspicious beasts. In this case, it is better to turn to the Internet. There is a secret space and time to forge ahead while alive, and there is heaven to enjoy life after death. If you can earn the luck of heaven, you may be able to enjoy the merit of following the dragon in the future and establish your own sect."

The Lingshan elder looked at the chattering little fox fairy and commented expressionlessly: "He is quite sharp-tongued, but have you ever thought that everything on the Internet depends on Gu Zhenzai? If he dies, everything will disappear. And he has not yet reached Daluo, so there are too many variables!"

The little fox fairy said: "In this world, helping someone in need is better than adding icing on the cake. If Gu Zhenzai really waits until he advances to the Daluo realm, I'm afraid my small Lingshan will no longer be in his eyes."

"Hahaha……"

The elder smiled up to the sky upon hearing this, and his old voice was filled with a bit of boldness: "Interesting, I have always thought that you are just a charming fox who grasps the luck, but I didn't expect that you also have such insights."

The little fox fairy pursed her lips and said nothing, a hint of annoyance flashing in the depths of her eyes.

But he didn't expect that he would be so unbearable in the eyes of the elders.

However, this is not surprising. It is rumored that the elder is already half a step away from becoming a celestial being. To such a person, it is natural that he looks like a child to her.

Even though she has already reached the state of stopping the fire.

"You, after all, are thinking too much. My Lingshan Fox Clan is just one of the tens of millions of demon clans in the Southern Continent, just like a drop in the ocean. Whether it's the Immortal Court or the Internet, why should we choose between the two? Isn't it nice to rest and recuperate quietly in this valley? If you want to follow Gu Zhenzai, then go ahead. Why drag the entire clan down with you?"

The little fox fairy listened to the elder's words and said anxiously: "Elder, in this era of great contention, if you don't fight, you will perish! With the current strength of our clan, we can't afford any risks at all."

By the way, why did she choose to come here to apologize tonight?

It's because she feels that the world is sliding towards the abyss step by step.

Countless players are madly longing for merit and war;
The unfair treatment suffered by the Internet will eventually explode.

Faced with an Internet that can no longer be suppressed, the Immortal Court will inevitably resort to more radical means.

At this moment, it can be said that a storm is about to come!

If you don't choose a wise leader now, it will be too late to regret when the war breaks out!

"enough!"

The elder shouted sternly.

As soon as she finished speaking, her brows suddenly frowned.

The little fox fairy's expression also changed slightly, because a familiar prompt sound came from her mind again.

Similar reminder sounds have been heard more often in the past few days than in the past year.

It’s the notification sound of the internet.

[Internet 7.1 is online: new "Open Source Editor", "App Store", and "Developer Home" are added]

——To all developers who love the Internet and pursue innovation:

In this rapidly changing Internet age, I am well aware that the power of open source is an important driving force for promoting Internet innovation and prosperity.

To this end, the Internet will launch the Internet Developer Project, adhering to the spirit of openness, freedom, sharing, unity and efficiency, and sincerely invites all users to join.

The Internet will provide an open source editor with a built-in modular design, which developers can flexibly cut and expand according to their needs and quickly build applications that adapt to different scenarios.

At the same time, the Internet will also have multiple built-in security protection mechanisms to ensure the security and privacy of user data and prevent developers from excessively collecting user data...

……

The Internet has been updated again?
My heart started pounding when I saw the updated little fox fairy. My first reaction was not surprise, but shock.

Gu Zhenzai's movements were too big, which could only mean that he was preparing for war!
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at the elder, only to find that his eyelids were slightly closed, as if he was half asleep. That posture made her heart move. Could it be that... the elder is also a loyal user of the Internet?

Otherwise, how could I receive the update notification in the first place? "Elder?"

"Ok?"

"Elder, Lingxi..."

"You go back first, let me think about this matter again."

The elder waved his hand, his expression looking a little strange, as if he was hiding his excitement.

Seeing this, the little fox fairy seemed to be thinking about something... She looked opposed just now, but now she seems to be a little more relaxed. Could it be because of the update of the Internet?
Without making a sound, the little fox fairy bowed and left.

After leaving the cave, she moved like the wind, entered a private residence, landed in the boudoir, deployed a warning array, and immediately checked the new version of the Internet.

After reading it, the little fox fairy felt like being struck by lightning.

This round of major updates may seem inferior to version 6.1 in content, but the shock it brings her far exceeds that of previous versions.

Under the attack from the Immortal Court, the Internet not only did not choose to shrink its defenses, but chose to open up further, allowing users to create application sections.

This is incredible.

Various creative directions were even given behind the letter of introduction.

For example: chatting and socializing, learning and education, practical tools, book reading, travel and transportation, home life, games and entertainment... and so on.

As if Gu Zhenzai was afraid that everyone might not understand, he carefully listed various subcategories and development directions.

For example, for chatting and socializing, you can try anonymous chatting, making friends and dating, talking in a tree hole, voice chatting... and so on.

Practical tools that can be used to develop store accounting, household accounting, etc.

The variety is so great that it's simply dizzying.

The little fox fairy was stunned, and she was keenly aware that a new era had arrived again.

Whoever comes out on top will have the chance to enjoy the dividends of the Internet!
There is no shortage of knowledgeable people in the world. With the update of Internet version 7.1, the Internet, which was already restless due to the attack on the Immortal Court, is boiling again.

"Oh my god! I thought the Internet updated to 6.1 was already very scary, but I didn't expect that Gu Zhenzai still had a lot of things that he hadn't developed yet!"

"So many good things, but you're publishing them right away? Aren't you afraid that other websites will copy them?"

"I think what the Immortal Court said is correct. Gu Zhenzai is the extraterritorial demon. Only an extraterritorial demon can take out so many good things!"

"What is this extraterritorial demon? This is a powerful being from outside the realm, preaching in the Middle-earth!"

"If I understand correctly, this means that we, the users, will develop the software and get half of the dividends?"

“You are crying bitterly. There are still so many good things that have not been developed? Gu Zhenzai, please take back your order. You can update it slowly. I am really afraid that others will develop it into a pile of shit!”

"It's another new round of wealth creation. Hurry up and go. If you miss this round, you may not be able to open a store next time."

With the explosion of Internet information, almost everyone realizes that a new wealth-making movement has begun again.

You know, in the 7.1 version description, it is clearly stated that developer applications can enjoy half the incense.

With the current size of the Internet, getting a piece of the pie is enough to make you rich.

Some old users even felt a sense of familiarity in a trance.

After a brief recollection, I immediately slapped my thigh. Isn't this the scene when the Internet first appeared, inviting all the gods in the immortal court to create sub-sections on the Internet?

But at that time, the subdivision was the video section.

Unexpectedly, today, they can actually enjoy the same treatment as the immortals.

If we can really create a new sector and share half of the profits, why worry about the future?

All of a sudden, countless people flocked to the open source editor, the developer's home was overcrowded, and various technical discussion posts emerged one after another.

At this moment, everyone in the world was moved.

The gods in the fairyland also give people a complex and inexplicable feeling.

Especially the Star Lord Yixiu.

He walks among people, sits in the theater, seemingly with his eyes slightly closed, listening to little songs, but his mind has long been attracted by the Internet.

Looking back, he was the first immortal to enter the Internet. His opera channel occupied half of the market and became the favorite of countless people for entertainment.

He also enjoyed a huge amount of incense as a result.

Who would have thought that the Jade Emperor's transgression would cause Gu Yunli to brazenly betray the Immortal Court. From then on, he stopped supporting the opera channel.

I dare not update privately.

Today, opera channels on the Internet have long since declined, with only some users uploading their own videos left. Due to the limitations of filming technology, the quality of the pictures varies greatly.

Coupled with the rise of long videos, short videos, and live broadcasts, opera channels have declined.

Now I'm afraid only some old guys who can't keep up with the times are left holding on.

This made him sigh countless late nights.

If he could take charge of the opera channel again, the situation would definitely not be so bad.

just now……

Gu Zhenzai seemed to give him a chance.

"it is good--"

The cheers from the theater startled Old Langshen. He looked up and saw that on the stage of the restaurant, the actors were singing the lines with all their might amid the rain of tips. Every frown and smile of theirs was the result of their hard work.

Isn't it a waste of such an elegant culture to let it be drowned in vulgar videos?
Old Langshen silently watched the scene in front of him, his mind quietly falling on the development notes of Internet version 7.1.

Among them, there is a clear provision that developers can choose to publish applications anonymously.

This means that he can completely avoid the sight of the Immortal Court and revive the opera channel.

Of course, publishing apps anonymously also has its drawbacks.

That is, if Gu Yunli wanted to use the application without permission, he would have almost no power to resist.

After all, he is anonymous, so even if he makes the news public, no one will believe it.

Therefore, disclosing your identity is actually the best protection.

However, looking at the history of Gu Yunli's rise to wealth, Lao Langshen felt that Gu Yunli was more magnanimous than that. Judging from his manifesto asking for immortality, his appetite far exceeded his imagination.

The world, perhaps, is his ultimate goal.

There is no point in neglecting an application for the sake of the world.

After realizing this, Lao Langshen appeared in a flash and disappeared in the theater without anyone noticing.

He needed a quiet place, familiarized himself with the open source editor, and rebuilt the opera channel.

The cornerstone of the Immortal Court began to loosen from then on.
