I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Jost's handwriting became messy, and he felt that his thoughts were being blocked.

"These administrators are akin to gods, yet they retain their rationality and remain uncorrupted. This is impossible under the Magic Network's architecture, which would certainly treat everyone equally, subjecting every node to the same level of corruption..."

He was still thinking when he heard a noise at the door.

Lu Ban and Stone are back.

Upon smelling the stench of boiled excrement in the room, Stone's face turned pale instantly, and he immediately ran out to vomit.

Lu Ban didn't react much. He moved closer to Jost and looked at what he was writing.

What is this?

Lu Ban asked.

"We're discussing the Magic Network."

Xia explained that she felt Lu Ban probably didn't understand the underlying principles and hadn't explained them in detail.

"By the way, speaking of this, I looked it up later and found that the structure of the magic network is somewhat similar to the network in my world."

Lu Ban said.

"!"

Upon hearing Lu Ban's words, Jost suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

"What did you say? Does your world have something similar?"

"It's quite different, and I can't explain it clearly in a short time. Otherwise, I'll find a player to talk to you."

Lu Ban said that he told Stone at the door not to come back for the time being, but to go and check if everyone had logged on and to call back one of the players he had notified earlier.

This player is a science popularization content creator whose name is 【只懂亿点点】.

When Stone found him, [Only Knows a Little Bit] was still in the field checking on the growth of the plants.

Although he didn't study agriculture, his experience as a science blogger over the past few years has led him to habitually record things he's never seen before.

Some science bloggers get tagged every day asking what the flowers, plants, birds, beasts, and reptiles they see are, which is quite a lively scene. But most of the time, when he gets tagged, it's to ask what to do if he can't get online.

I can only blame myself for having a video that discusses 5G, which only garnered 200,000 views despite all the explanations. This is far less than what a college student can achieve by simply reciting a few sentences and getting tens of millions of views and becoming a popular blogger. Now, they can easily earn millions by taking on some ads and making some special effects videos.

[Only Knows a Little Bit] is just an ordinary science enthusiast. He graduated from an ordinary university and is not a professional science student. He is just slightly good at explaining some complex knowledge in an intuitive way.

I first discovered this when I was explaining complex functions to a female classmate.

Of course, after that female classmate passed her makeup exam, she never spoke to "Only Knows a Little Bit" again, which is another sad topic.

So, he was completely dumbfounded when Stone found him this time.

I'm just a small-time science blogger, so how did I get summoned by an NPC to meet the Baron? Is there some kind of discrepancy in this?

Of course, [Only Knows a Little Bit] was also very proud of the envious looks from other players who were launching the game one after another.

He was about to recite two lines of poetry on the spot.

Fortunately, his survival instinct prevented him from saying "only knows a little bit". He followed Stone back to town and entered the Baron's mansion, where he was met with a strong smell of boiled excrement.

He vomited.

After vomiting for more than ten minutes, [only a tiny bit] finally calmed down a bit.

He looked at Xi Ya and the others in the room; they were all NPCs with names and identities, including Lu Ban, but he couldn't tell if he was the real person or an NPC.

"Come here."

Lu Ban patiently guided [Only Knows a Little Bit] to the laboratory.

The player saw a thin young man with a piece of paper spread out in front of him, on which were written words and drawings.

"Come over here and explain the structure and logic of computer networks to Mr. Jost."

Lu Ban pushed "Only Knows a Little Bit" in front of Joster.

"what?"

[Only Knows a Little Bit] I never imagined that I would be doing my old job in a game?

Chapter 711 Principles of Computer Network Communication

"...That's roughly the pattern."

[Only know a tiny bit] I don't know if this is a test for myself or something else, but no matter how you look at it, explaining the principles of computer communication in a fantasy world just doesn't feel right.

Moreover, "Only Know a Little Bit" isn't really good at this area. Although he took the course in college, he didn't delve into it further. Popular science is mostly about explaining concepts and interpreting them qualitatively. After all, if you read out those detailed numbers and formulas in a video, you'd definitely scare away most viewers.

But this monk certainly doesn't seem like someone who can be easily fooled with a simple explanation.

"...So, in a network, each, uh, device is a node that can store knowledge and also transmit it to other devices?"

Jost was still getting used to the modern vocabulary, and he muttered to himself.

"That's how the network was originally designed, but most of the networks we use now still rely on servers. Data is stored on servers and then requested to be transferred when needed."

"I only understand a tiny bit," he explained.

"So, is it actually possible to store all knowledge online and then request it when needed?"

Jost felt like he had grasped something.

"Of course you can, but you need a very fast internet speed, uh, that is, the communication speed between the server and the device. If the speed is too slow, the response will not be timely, and it will be very difficult to use."

[Only Knows a Little Bit] glanced at Lu Ban.

Could this guy actually be testing players' knowledge of this kind in the game?

But thinking about it carefully, this game is so realistic that if real-life wilderness survival masters or construction experts came here, they might actually be able to complete the reclamation much faster.

"If you want specifics, I can look it up when I have time."

That's the only answer I can give, as I only know a tiny bit.

"Okay, you can look it up when you have time."

Lu Ban told the other person to leave, but thought about it again before leaving.

"Your Excellency, let him stay here and help Jost with his research."

"of course can."

Baron Jero listened to what the player had just said. To be honest, he didn't understand it, but he felt that the player seemed very impressive.

These players all seemed to be quite skilled. As the lord of this place, he even felt a sense of crisis. If these people joined forces, it would be easy for them to hang him.

Seeing Jost so unusually energetic, Baron Jerome felt it was all worth it.

“Uh, you only know a tiny bit. I hereby appoint you as my advisor and bestow upon you the title of knight.”

He placed his hand on the player's shoulder, conducting a simple award ceremony.

I only know a tiny bit and don't understand etiquette, but I feel like I'm more capable now.

"From the knight..."

He left the room and immediately logged off.

After taking off his helmet, this science popularization content creator didn't say anything, but simply posted a status update.

[This is amazing! I was taken to answer a few questions, and suddenly I became a knight! This game is too powerful!]

After posting the status update, he immediately went online to search for relevant knowledge about computer networks, preparing to give the monk a crash course.

He also looked at the posts made by other players while they were offline waiting to recharge.

Holy crap, this game is so exciting! I went with a few friends to challenge the monsters in the forest, and we got killed all afternoon. It's so thrilling, but for some reason, I also feel like dying.

I saw someone offering rewards for helping others farm; are the hidden quest lines in this game really that complicated?

[Let me tell you, this game is totally weak compared to this! The lighting, the water, the soil—it's not even in the same league!]

I spent the whole afternoon farming in the game, but I still feel like I haven't had enough! What should I do? Don't make me come back, I want to farm more!

I've researched the Night Kingdom's information, and this timeline is a bit unusual. I reckon that let alone becoming mages, the Gray Tower probably hasn't even been built yet. Our main storyline should be fighting the demonic tide, but without magic, how can we fight those monsters?

Are we going to have to help build the Gray Tower?

Holy crap, now that you mention it, it really feels epic.

[Only a tiny bit of knowledge] Looking at their comments, most players are still figuring out how to play the game.

Most games will tell you what to do, and in some simpler games you can only do what the game designer tells you to do.

Open-world games are mostly very free, and sandbox games are even more so.

In this kind of game, some players feel lost and don't know what to do. They seem to be able to do anything, but also don't want to do anything.

Free expression is far more difficult than writing an essay on a given topic.

The biggest problem here is actually feedback.

In an overly open world, the feedback from player actions is minimal. After playing for a while, players may find themselves feeling like they haven't gained anything, making it difficult to continue. Alternatively, overly simplistic feedback can also lead to fatigue.

Some players adapt well to this style and will find things to do on their own. These players like to delve into different ways of playing games, and they find the game incredibly fun.

This is one of the reasons for the polarization of open-world games: those who like them love them to death and can spend thousands of hours in the game, while those who don't like them find it boring after playing for ten minutes and then ask for a refund.

But to say that "only a little bit of knowledge" is just an excuse.

As long as the game is fun, even something as simple as peeing in the sand can be enjoyable.

No matter how good the graphics or how high the degree of freedom, a game is not fun if it's boring.

Having gathered the information, [Only Knows a Little Bit] immediately put on his helmet and returned to the game.

He appeared in the courtyard of the baron's mansion and saw the chickens being raised there.

He immediately moved far away, fearing that if he stepped on a chicken, the whole town would come after him.

[Only Knows a Little Bit] He walked into the room and found that Jost was still seriously studying computer networks. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the young mage raise his head and look at him.

"You've come at the right time. I have an idea about what you just said: how about treating every device connected to the network, such as a mage, as a node, where each person would bear a certain amount of contamination while simultaneously gaining knowledge? This way, the more people join the magic network, the more the contamination can be spread. What do you think?"

Jost asked excitedly.

"what?"
