Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

Chamber of Commerce’s chariot team came two more times. In addition to the supplies directly exchanged for subsidies, they also brought goodwill from the association. And this goodwill stems from the recent increase in the number of registered forums. Just looking at the increased discussion section, almost all the departments of the Xijia District will be wiped out. It also includes the teaching institute to which the branch belongs, which is the place where the Lin master and disciple originally stayed.

To the apprentices, the teaching institute is like a boarding school; to the formal magician, it is like a dormitory for a manpower dispatch company. The facilities are complete, but you have to pay for the use; the materials are complete, but you have to pay for reading; the resources are sufficient, but you have to pay for the use. Although there are many ways to make money, the cost is also high.

It can be said that one of the four major sub-regions on the southwestern border of the mainland, the most magician gathering place in the Xijia sub-region, the use of forums has begun to popularize and gradually expand outward. Just by looking at the discussion section of a certain magic tower that pops up from time to time, you can know that the influence of the forum is indeed increasing.

At the association, the magic titled “Tripwood Forum Browser Technique” is priced at I Gere as Lin once said. However, the magic stone used for copying the system must be provided by the magician who wants to buy it; and the part of the paper description file is directly converted into an electronic file and placed in the discussion area of ​​the “Xijia District Announcement” opened by the magician association. It is the same as the “Miscellaneous” discussion area, which allows visitors to watch it at will. It can be said that this way, the material cost is reduced to a minimum.

However, the association should take the rake, and they will not take less. For this reason, in a calm code afternoon, the energy pool picture suddenly changed to an old face that filled the entire screen, and Lin’s heart almost stopped in shock.

Looking at the shock and the dazed expression, the old man in the mirror was also a little embarrassed. In order not to continue to be so embarrassed, he had to break the deadlock first and said: “Your Excellency Gabrach ‧ Lin ‧ Tripwood.”

“Well, President Eaton.” Lin hurriedly got up and saluted. The person in the mirror is the Magician Association, the Branch President of Xijia District, and the big magician Orange Eaton. From the Aristocratic Family of Eaton Magic, he is a very powerful and very background senior magician. Although not a disgusting personality with arrogance and boundlessness, it is by no means an amiable old man.

And this magic that can use the mirror of the energy pool to appear and talk is called’Charles’ Calling Technique’. It’s a super annoying and troublesome magic world video call system without ringtones and no choice of whether to answer the power. Lin slandered this, and secretly made up his mind to come up with something like an instant messenger, which could provide visual, audio, and text messages, so that everyone could have a taste of what he could no longer read.

Theoretically, the status of the tower owner is equal to that of the president of the association. But facing this young and fierce Sir President, few people had the courage to stand in front of him. That’s why Lin made himself look respectful. In fact, he also respected each other quite a bit. Although there is no deep relationship in the past. However, under the leadership of President Eaton, the Xijia District has many policies to take care of the relatively disadvantaged groups of magicians and apprentices. Lin is also one of the beneficiaries.

Nowadays, such a great character actually meets himself face to face, how can I make Lin not panic?

“Don’t worry, Excellency Tripwood, I bring good news.” To comfort the new magician who is much younger than himself, Orange Fruit Eaton also has It’s kind of kind.

Lin cupped the hands signaled, and Chengguo Eaton continued: “The browser magic you turned in is very good. Whether it is convenience, distance, or the amount of information contained, you can say It’s a pioneering work.”

“Thank you for the appreciation of the chairman.” Lin said thank you, but did not feel ecstatic. Because the great character asks you to say these things, it will usually be followed by a’but’.

So I listened to Orange Fruit Eaton smoothly and continued: “But now we encounter some small problems, that is, the association will charge some fees for the management of this magic knowledge. You order The price is directly the smallest basic unit, and the association can do nothing.”

“Chairman, I once told Greenwin’s magician, and it was explained in the attached letter. That is, the association can add the necessary management fees to the price I set as the final price. But from the perspective of maintaining the price of I Kiel, you know that you also understand that the real value of the forum lies in the number of users, not the number of users. How much money do I get from selling this magic knowledge. Therefore, the price of I Kiel, in addition to giving the magician the idea of ​​“Even if it’s useless, it’s just a waste of I Kiel, so harmless and elegant”, it also makes ordinary apprentices affordable. Achieve the effect of promotion.”

Looking at the old man nodded approving this idea, Lin Cai went on to say: “So in terms of management expenses, I am willing to allocate half of the income as the cost of the association. What do you think of this?”

For Senior, who just showed up and went straight to the subject, Lin explained the ideas of the two parties a little bit, and then quickly gave up half of the benefits. ‧Eaton was nodded with satisfaction. In his position, although he is not extremely disgusted with bargaining in the market, he does not have any favorable impressions.

Consultation is to directly show the bottom line, and close the deal with the psychologically expected target; if it is too exaggerated, just shoot directly, there is no going back and forth. Furthermore, for the spread of magic knowledge, the benefit of the original creator is indispensable, because it will dampen the enthusiasm of other magicians and thus have a negative impact. For the long-term and magician as a whole, the gains outweigh the losses.

Since the first problem has been solved, Orange Eaton asked the second question: “For the two sets of magic, domain name system and web page system, I tried to build on the president’s exclusive energy pool. Although it seems to be successful, it can’t be activated. And you didn’t have an explanation in the documentation. Where might this problem be?”

Just listen, I’m not even think. Know the answer. Because that is exactly the hole dug in the explanatory document that was turned in before. Facing the inquiry from his boss, Lin began to explain the tree structure of domain name system. Each floor server only points to the upper server and manages its own legally authorized domain name.

To put it bluntly, the Atori source pool of the Great Sage Tower, as the first DNS server in the Midi world, has the status of (dot) as it should be by rights. Other energy pools can only become sub-Level 1 servers and register with .(dot) to have legal domain names.

If someone else wants to build the top-level server of .(dot), it will only create two independent and difficult-to-connect networks. If you want to communicate, you have to go back to the most primordial, and remember the complex and lengthy marks of each magic tower’s energy pool.

“Can the domain name system with the .(dot) authority be handed over to the headquarters of the association?”

Faced with this good question, of course Lin said bluntly that it is possible, even The data that already exists on the forum can also be completely transplanted! The premise is that all current forum users have to suspend use during the migration operation, and this time is not sure how long it will be.

In view of the fact that people who don’t know the magic world, what is the endurance limit of “server repairing”, Lin also bluntly expressed this level of doubt.

Chengguo Eaton also admits that this situation is unfavorable when the forum is still in the promotion stage. If the user loses confidence, he will have to work harder if he wants to recover.

For this, Lin took advantage of the situation and proposed the concept of’.com’. To put it simply, let the headquarters of the association have a Level 1 DNS server. Others who want to own domain names can apply directly to the association. The dot. (dot) of the Great Sage Tower is just a starting point for URL query.

Chengguo Eaton also agrees with this approach. After all, the association just hopes to have the space to manage all magicians. Just like the knowledge of magic that the original creators have passed away, the association did not spread it for free. On the contrary, the set price becomes a method to control the spread of the magic.

For knowledge that you don’t want too many people to know, or powerful attack magic, set the price higher to reduce the buying desire of some shy people. For the magic that I hope every magician can use, it is to set a lower price and promote it vigorously. I want everyone to stuff a spell notebook. In the end, I hope to put the magic that is listed as’must learn’ into the apprentice’s three-ring textbook.

Of course, those expenses have become one of the important sources of income for the association.

As long as the association has room to operate, Orange Fruit Eaton does not have to insist on certain results. Besides, Lin’s quick concession before, is it not a good reason to back down here.

For my own problems, there is a good result. With a few polite words, Orange Fruit Eaton cut off the connection. Things returned to daily life, and more than ten days later, such a scary scene came again…

This time it was for the Chamber of Commerce, which belongs to the Magician Association.

Businessmen’s profit-seeking nature makes them very sensitive to some newly born technologies. Not to mention that the forum can immediately get information from all over the world-as long as there is a eyeliner in the local area-this can be faster than the 800-mile rush, the flying pigeons, or the messenger who runs a marathon.

In addition to business information, if magicians, tower owners and other Chamber of Commerce in various places can trade and place orders on the forum, as long as they are matched with a reasonable shipping route, the trade volume will undoubtedly It will rise another realm.

Unfortunately, on the forum, before opening a new article, Lin clearly wrote three prohibitions. The people who came into contact with the Internet for the first time in Yimidi World actually obeyed it very well, at least they didn’t hear any accidents. Lin couldn’t help sighing for this simple Internet atmosphere.

The first prohibition is to prohibit writing full magic spells in the general article area; the second is to prohibit drawing magic arrays in the general article area.

These two prohibitions are for the same reason. You must know that the forum was originally established based on the eight powers of magic, which means that this seemingly technological product is actually a mystic thing. If you write a spell or draw a magical array in the article, other people will be washed by Fireball when they open the discussion thread, which is not impossible.

Especially the basis for installing the browser system, either an energy pool or a magic stone, is itself a source of magical energy.

Although the text encoding method does not directly make the text represent its meaning. That is to say, the text content displayed by the incantation on the forum, and the encoding behind it may not necessarily produce the effect that the incantation should induce. But I’m not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if it is just right, the ghost with bad luck will be confused by magic.

For this probability, Lin passively uses article classification to deal with it. In addition to general articles, there is also a category of magic articles to remind users who click on the discussion thread. The content of the article contains spells and magic arrays, which may produce effects. Please take protective measures by yourself.

The third prohibition is for trading. All behaviors such as bartering for goods, money for goods, goods for money, and knowledge exchange are all prohibited. Regarding this ban, not only President Orange Fruit Eaton, but many users are puzzled. It’s just that today the president represents everyone and asks it in front of the creator.

Lin only replied one sentence:

“I have no ability to guarantee the fulfillment of the contract.”
