Chapter 655 The Witch's Benefits

After Moran sat down, Lan Qiqi squatted on the table, her tail tip swiping left and right across the table, and in an instant, two large stacks of books appeared on the table.

She pointed to the stack of books on the left: "These books contain information about the power of various shops in the central camp."

He then pointed to the stack of books on the right: "These are messages about explorers from various races."

"Do you still have space in your witch's book? These books aren't in the other world's database, so you can only copy them from here and take them away."

Moran nodded.

She had already finished reading all the books in the Book of Witches and moved them all out.

Anyway, she not only remembered all those books clearly, but also made corresponding {knowledge cards} and saved them.

There are many books on the table, but they are all engraved with transcription runes, making them quick to copy.

After Lan Qiqi finished copying the books, she put them away, and the table was empty again.

"Take a look at those books. You should have a pretty good understanding of the Explorers' Camp by now."

As Lan Qiqi spoke, she took out two more books, one thick and one thin, and placed her paw pads on the thinner one:

"This book is a list of essential readings for exploring the Sky Well compiled by Lady Tracy. If you still have no idea what you need to prepare to go to the Sky Well, you can refer to this list and find the books in the Otherworld Database. All the books in there are free."

Moran was already quite familiar with the four-eared cat's introduction routine. Without it saying anything, he pasted the Book of Witches onto the book and copied down its contents.

"The last book is the witch's special edition of 'The Collection of Books in the Otherworld Database,' which not only includes an internal map of the Otherworld Database, but also the titles, descriptions, prices, and locations of all the books in the collection, making it easy for you to find the information you want."

However, it is a magical item and cannot be copied and taken away. Every newly arrived witch explorer can receive a copy for free.

Place it in the recessed area of ​​the catalog search desk in the lobby on the first floor of the Otherworld Database to update the contents of this book.

Lan Qiqi pushed the book towards Mo Lan: "Now you should have no more questions, right?"

As Moran put the book into his spatial ring, he asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "Tell me about the otherworld database! Is it not only open to witches?"

When she saw that Lan Qiqi actually asked a question, she felt a moment of nervousness, afraid that she wouldn't be able to answer it and would embarrass her master. However, when asked about the database of another world, she remained calm:
"You've come to the right place. I personally witnessed Lady Tracy leading the original witch explorers to create the Otherworld Database."

Initially, everyone's original intention was simply to create a place similar to the Witch Clan Library, specifically for collecting and organizing information about the other world, so that witch explorers could exchange information.

It also adopted the model of the witch clan's library, dividing the contents into free and paid categories.

Witch explorers can collect information or magical knowledge about other worlds and share it for free or sell it for a price.

Generally, people share information about other worlds for free in the archives; only magical knowledge is sold at a price.

If any witch explorers perish, the information they leave behind—whether it's from other worlds or magical knowledge—will become free resources, accessible to all witches. At that time, the database will be open only to witches.

As the witch explorers continued their work, they visited more and more otherworldly realms and compiled more and more data, gradually expanding the database of otherworldly realms.

Other information trading platforms in the central camp, however, did not accumulate data as quickly as the otherworld database because the participants were not as open and trusting as the witches.

As the amount of data in the Otherworld Database increased, the internal space grew larger, and the rent became more and more expensive.

The survival rate of witches in the other world is much higher than that of other races. Even if the witch explorers were willing to donate their inheritance to their tribe to support the establishment of the alien database, it would still be far from enough to cover the operating expenses of the alien database.

It was only then that everyone decided to open the otherworld database to other races, to earn money from outsiders, and to expand the witch's database.

From that time on, the database began to allow other races to pay to read materials that were free for witches, and to pay even more for materials that were paid for by witches.

Only precious magical knowledge is stored separately in the witch's exclusive archive, which only witches can access and read.

In addition, a "Membership Contract" was created. As long as alien explorers consign enough data in the alien world database, they can obtain the qualification to sign a "Membership Contract".

Once you become a member, you can read all the materials in the database at a discounted price. However, all the materials that a member consigns will become the property of the Otherworld Database after the member's death, and all the proceeds will be inherited by the Otherworld Database.

With the revenue of the Otherworld Database soaring, the witches no longer needed to pay the consignment fees to make up for the shortfall in rent. The accumulation of data was faster than ever before, and the Otherworld Database grew rapidly.

Other information exchange platforms are impossible to learn from, since apart from witches, no other race has such a good reputation that they can guarantee they won't harm the data provider in order to inherit the data.

Explorers usually prefer to sell magical knowledge that isn't particularly valuable in other worlds through the database, accumulating enough to become members.

By now, the Otherworld Database has become a behemoth that completely overshadows other information trading platforms in the camp.

The revenue can not only cover venue rental and operating expenses, but also provide newbie benefits to witch explorers who have just arrived at the Skywell, helping them get through the difficult beginner period.

"Only the new recruits from the witch clan in the entire explorer's camp receive this benefit!"

Lan Qiqi looked proud of the growth and expansion of the otherworld database.

After her explanation, Moran understood that the phrase "the largest data trading platform in the Explorers' Camp" in the introduction to the Otherworld Database was not an advertising slogan, but a real honor.

"Here! This is your newcomer perk!" Two irregularly shaped piles of shimmering crystals appeared on the table:

"There are a total of one hundred units of primordial magic crystals and ten thousand units of ordinary magic crystals."

Many newcomers don't necessarily get this many magic crystals even after a single world trip!

Don't worry if you don't know what magic crystals are. Lady Tracy's reading list includes recommended books; just go find it and you'll see.
