A different world game? A different world game!

On the floating tower.

A huge iron flower structure overhead.

The two stood at the top of the tower.

Lurek was quite surprised by Cana's arrival, since Cana had become increasingly secretive and rarely appeared in public since becoming a god.

Of course, Lurek, as a high-ranking member of the Night's Watch, knew why.

With Cana's ascension to godhood, the news could no longer be kept secret from the Night's Watch, and they were well aware that some cults had emerged within the Night's Watch.

This is unstoppable.

Because the gods are there.

For ordinary beings, those who have become gods naturally possess a strange oppressive force against them.

This strange oppressive force is not a form of oppression against ordinary life, but rather a peculiar attraction, a kind of awe that emanates from within, both mentally and physically.

This is inevitable; it's a difference in life forms.

Legendary lives can certainly avoid this situation, and they are able to effectively maintain their independence in the presence of the gods.

But ordinary life cannot.

They do not have that power.

This means that if Kana appears in front of these ordinary beings for a long time, he will inexplicably attract them, making them feel awe, start to worship him, and eventually develop faith.

This is very bad.

This would cause the already troublesome cult to expand haphazardly, thereby affecting the internal structure of the Night's Watch.

Therefore, since becoming a god, Cana naturally reduced the time he appeared in front of ordinary Night's Watch members.

They only appear at large events or important ceremonies.

This also shrouded Cana in a veil of mystery, a veil that inspires awe in the Night's Watch without overly affecting these ordinary Night's Watchmen.

Just keep it at this perfect degree.

However, for high-ranking members of the Night's Watch like Lurek, they were quite familiar with Cana's whereabouts.

At this stage, Kana should still be in the abyss.

After all, the situation in the abyss is no better than that of the expedition team; it's only worse.

The intensity of the war there was extremely high; it was almost constant, and many Night's Watch members went there.

That's also where the Night's Watch rotates most frequently.

Unless it's a strong military unit, they generally can't stay in the abyss for more than ten days before being rotated out and needing to rest for several months before being rotated out again.

It hasn't even finished one round yet.

But it also revealed the face of the Abyss to the vast majority of the Night Watchers.

It was precisely because of such strong logistical support that Blood Pit Fortress was able to occupy an area without being swallowed up in an instant.

However, to prevent some evil gods in the abyss from doing anything strange, Kana needs to stay in the abyss for a long time to ensure that this problem does not occur.

You cannot use normal thinking to comprehend those demons and evil gods of the abyss.

They might just suddenly and inexplicably descend upon the Blood Pit Fortress and, with divine power, utterly destroy it.

They're not incapable of doing such a thing.

To avoid this, Kana has no choice but to stay permanently.

Fortunately, Cana has a clone.

The one standing next to Lurek now is a clone carrying the will of Kana.

Moreover, it carries the will of Kana himself.

Now that Kana is here, Lurek is looking at the sparks flying in the sky.

He roughly knew what was going on.

Kana also came along with the things that Popper sent.

This could very well be Popper's project.

A certain experimental product of the "Earthly Divine Kingdom".

"You're right."

Kana laughed from the side.

Lurek felt somewhat helpless. He knew that Kana couldn't read minds; it was just that Kana had analyzed his thoughts after he expressed his emotions.

"This is an experimental product that Popper has produced during this period. It is very, very basic, but it has already taken shape and is not much different from what I imagined."

However, since it's built based on my [Earthly Divine Kingdom] as a possibility, I need to observe and analyze it from the sidelines, and provide support in terms of rules.

Simply put, Cana was also forced to work for Popper.

As he finished speaking, a silver liquid flowed in Kana's hand, and a stream of bright red blood merged into the silver liquid.

Then a translucent, blood-red gem was created and set into a small handle.

He handed the completed structure to Lurek.

"Here, take it."

Lurek took it and held it in his hand, but he didn't feel that there was anything special about the thing in his hand.

As magic surged in.

Changed.

[Data-Driven Circle - Experimental Type 3 - Permission Handle]

[Privilege Level: Lord]

[Scope of permissions: Architecture, Statistics, Construction]

[Introduction: More features are under development...]

Lurek looked at the data panel in front of him, at something that looked like equipment, but was completely unrelated to equipment.

A new interface appeared in front of him, an interface unrelated to the interfaces for profession, channel, map, and personal information.

And a special identifier has appeared on his personal information.

[Lord]

Lurek is no longer the clueless person he was when he was first digitized.

Having long been accustomed to data and various data dashboards, Lurek easily understood the changes this thing brought about.

The new interface represents the new abilities he gained after acquiring the authority handle.

The first thing you see is a top-down 3D image.

It's like a map, but the overhead view is different, and the display is clearer.

If Lurek wasn't mistaken, the displayed area should be the range that the iron sparks in the sky could cover.

This circle should be the so-called territory.

It was displayed on the map.

The map is clearly marked with a dense array of points, each of which represents a living entity.

The term "life form" here refers to intelligent life forms, that is, the residents of the port.

Next to the map is a long list of various data.

Population, resources, area, buildings, bonus effects, environment, weather...

All sorts of data were listed on it, densely packed together in incredibly detailed terms.

Lurek was completely bewildered.

Fortunately, he was, after all, the leader of the expedition and a former dwarven sage, and belonged to the leadership of the Night's Watch, so dealing with dense data was not a difficult task for him.

He quickly categorized and summarized the information.

Simply put, having such a panel would make his work several times easier.

The statistics themselves are already quite good; it would be even better if these real-time statistics could be distributed to other city administrators.

Lurik confidently asserts that this city's operation will be the best in the world.

It's so advanced and so easy to use.

"You think it's amazing, right?" Kana laughed from the side.

Although he didn't contribute much, he did offer suggestions.

While Popper and his team had become much more flexible in their thinking regarding the complete digitization of the earthly divine kingdom, Cana still saw it as somewhat rigid.

And in order not to waste time.

Cana simply dumped all the game settings he knew from his previous life onto the table, letting Popper and the others pick and choose, and combine or expand upon them.

Popper and his team performed very well in this regard, and achieved results beyond expectations.

The main purpose is to use this information to broaden Popper's thinking and open up his mind.

The results so far are quite good.

"This is just for statistics; it has other functions too. Don't you want to use them?"

Upon hearing this, Lurek looked at the other two options on the access handle: Architecture and Construction.

They sound the same, but their literal meanings are completely different.

One is to view/manage buildings, and the other is to carry out construction activities.

"Adjust your panel, zoom in a little on the map to get closer to the city."

Lurek nodded; he understood this easily. He swiped a couple of times on the panel, zoomed in on the map, and focused his attention on the city.

As you swipe, the surrounding data begins to change, transforming directly into the names of various buildings.

Furthermore, Lurek can click on some of the city's major buildings to learn about their detailed data.

"..."

In that instant, Lurik understood.

"Is this a way of turning those buildings into something like equipment and digitizing them?"

He was somewhat surprised.

Kana smiled and said, "It's not as amazing as you think. This is just a prototype, and an early-stage one at that. Didn't you notice that the building's data is just a simple description?"

Simply put, it doesn't grant buildings special abilities like in a game; it's just descriptive text.

Lurek then realized that the statistical function had just raised his expected threshold.

He doesn't feel too much regret now; on the contrary, he feels somewhat fortunate.

If he takes too big a step at once, he might find it difficult to adapt.

"However, Popper and his team are working on this now, and perhaps in another year or two they will be able to break through the relevant technology."

Kana cannot guarantee this either, as various technologies are still being verified at this stage.

Next comes the construction function.

Lurek had already lowered his expectations, yet the building capabilities far exceeded them.

The ironwork structure in the sky contained numerous architectural blueprints, all of which were stored in the Night's Watch's inventory.

Furthermore, he rearranged the ironwork structures and had some night watchmen scan their respective cities.

In other words, there are all sorts of architectural drawings, so many that you can't possibly look them all up.

"Don't look at these. After all, they're experimental, just crammed in all at once. Look at the standard module units next to them."

Following Kana's advice, Lurek took action.

Sure enough, a new chart appeared next to it, and the buildings in it were greatly simplified, with only a few simple ones remaining.

Each type has different styles for him to choose from.

"These are all selected drawings that meet the criteria, as they are very standard in terms of style, appearance, and practicality."

Simply put, it has achieved a perfect balance in many aspects.

"For example, this watchtower, you drag it out and place it where you think it should be built."

Following orders, Lurek dragged out one of the standard watchtower blueprints and placed it in the location he had already planned (although he had not yet given the order to start construction).

Soon a phantom appeared on the map with a progress bar (0%) on it.

And this watchtower was located where they could see from the top of their current floating tower, and Lurek looked in that direction.

as predicted.

In that place, a mirage-like, illusory phantom, formed from gathered magic, appeared, standing there indistinctly.

People passing by were startled and remained vigilant, watching the virtual projection closely.

Soon, the Night's Watchmen provided an explanation.

Then, a message was inexplicably received in the port's construction team channel.

[Iron Flower: Please bring... materials to the coordinates... to construct the phantom.]

The construction team scratched their heads, looking puzzled.

Then the captain saw the message from Lurek in the channel, instructing them to follow the instructions.

Since Lurek had given the order, they naturally didn't pay too much attention and set off, bringing enough building materials.

The construction team, having received the order, arrived beside the phantom.

Then they had a new status.

[Construction Worker Mode]

[Constructionist Mode: You are currently under the cover of an ironwork structure and have established contact with it. Your construction abilities will now be fully digitized, granting you the Constructionist Datafication skill.]

Looking at the description of the situation, the construction team leader was a little confused.

"What does this mean?"

"Yeah, Captain, there's something I don't quite understand."

"A new side job?"

“Construction worker? You know what, it’s actually quite possible, given the character of us Night’s Watchmen.”

The Night's Watchmen themselves knew that they had a fanatical obsession with wonder.

It was not unexpected for them to create a side job as a construction worker.

However, this does not seem to be the case.

With guidance, they began to work.

Then they discovered the difference.

"Wait, wait, why do I feel like my movements have become faster? It's like I've been sped up."

"Yes, me too, and I also have information in my head telling me where to start to make things faster."

"That's right, he told me to wait a moment."

Just as the construction team was puzzled, their actions became very routine, not because they lacked inspiration or didn't produce results on their own.

Rather, it was because they were under some kind of accelerated state, which allowed them to build very quickly, and with the aid of information, their cooperation could be described as seamless.

The adventurers and watchmen who were watching were dumbfounded.

They only saw the construction workers going up and down, jumping up and down, and then inexplicably falling to the ground.

The action was exceptionally fast and precise.

Then I saw the entire building being constructed at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Until Lurek saw the progress bar on the map fill up (100%).

Only three hours had passed.

Don't underestimate these three hours, because there is also a preparation period, and a lot of time was wasted because the construction team was unaware of this special situation.

If you're familiar with it, two hours should be enough.

And so a brand new watchtower, conforming to the blueprint standards, was built.

Even the most efficient watchmen in the past couldn't have been this fast.

"Not bad, right? This is just the initial result; we still need this big flower on your head as the core."

"It might get even more perfect later."

In short, the future looks promising. (End of Chapter)
