Big Data Cultivation

There isn’t much happening at White Pebble Beach. The biggest thing is that Master Moran from Taixu Sect has achieved Nascent Soul and officially sent out invitations, hoping Feng Jun would attend the celebration.

Attending the Nascent Soul celebration is impossible, not in this lifetime. Feng Jun knows very well that although the attributes of his transportation device are not yet widely known, it’s only a matter of time before it is, and how will others view him then?

Feng Jun asks himself, if he knew such a practitioner with transportation device attributes, he would also decline their attendance at events held at Luohua Manor—it’s just too unsafe.

So, one must be self-aware and avoid places where one is unwelcome; it makes things easier for both sides.

Aside from that, there isn’t much else—well, maintaining camaraderie is indeed important, but Feng Jun feels that he can maintain it for eternity if he wishes, so he’s not too concerned.

If Xuanhuang Sect knew his mentality, they’d probably cry to death—do you know how much effort we put in to maintain camaraderie?

There are some trivial matters too, like the first batch of Kunhao communication engineers trained by Gu Jiahui has graduated.

The Kunhao Realm has always lacked professional personnel in communications, not even the entire Tianqin Plane has them. Feng Jun once had some members of the Huang Fu clan go to the Earth Realm for training, but it was less than a month of short training, what could be learned?

However, Gu Jiahui’s training lasted half a year, providing not only theoretical grounding but hands-on experience later on. Students could independently try activating devices.

She isn’t a communications major, but as a Peking University top student, she can complete her studies without attending school. Communications? Just learn it.

Now even Lantern Town has started installing telephones, making communication with Mingsha Fang Market quite easy.

The only downside is the potential delayed communication during calls, but everyone finds it acceptable—traveling from Mingsha Fang Market to Lantern Town is reckoned daily, a few breaths delay isn’t a big deal.

However, Gu Jiahui has promised her students she’s addressing the communication delay issue, which might take some time. This promise leaves Feng Jun quite perplexed—you really dare to say anything.

Though being a humanities monk, he knows the speed of light is around 300,000 kilometers per second.

In the Human Federation, transmission still experiences delays, yet you dare make such guarantees?

Regarding this, Gu Jiahui engaged in a lengthy debate with him, insisting 300,000 kilometers is not the limit for information transmission—the effect of spacetime folding in transmission hasn’t yet garnered application support, but limited teleportation exists, right?

Hearing this made Feng Jun’s head ache—he deeply resents being a humanities monk.

But he too can be certain the transmission speed in the Human Federation far exceeds 300,000 kilometers per second.

Considering his teleportation ability allows a transmission of 3 billion kilometers per second seems feasible—he can also transition from society to the void.

Thus, some things aren’t understood, rather than nonexistent.

Gu Jiahui’s students tend to trust the mysterious more than the scientific side, believing something could be realized if she claims so—they have a high tolerance for communication delays; this is mundane communication.

Comparatively, students are intrigued by the "mobile phone" she promised, enabling instant contact without wiring, sending images and videos—you want to send a video of Yan Yuxi, we can wait a day.

White Pebble Beach is already piloting mobile phone calls, and Mount Zhige and Qiuchen Market are starting too.

While the pilot at Qiuchen Market yielded average results, Mount Zhige’s pilot was excellent—it’s a high martial-domain context; most people struggle to convey messages effectively past a hundred miles.

Strangely enough, mobile phone usage at White Pebble Beach also performs well—because there are numerous high-level cultivators here.

When there are many high-level cultivators, regardless of whether they wish to control it, they’ll compulsively use Divine Sense which leads to... Divine Sense saturation; in Earthly terms, severe Divine Sense field pollution.

Severe pollution prevents effective Divine Sense communication and exchange; during a joy-filled exchange, suddenly a segment injects, "What nonsense are you two spouting... Nascent Soul isn’t as you think..."

Under such conditions, out of ten people, at least five would explode... Whether we are right or wrong doesn’t matter, casually interjecting is unreasonable—if we truly want to seek advice, we would publicly say so, right? Is Divine Sense exchange needed then?

With mobile phones in use, this issue doesn’t exist; each has their own channel—even if worried about eavesdropping, soundproofing can suffice.

In essence, once someone is chatting via the mobile phone, it signifies "people irrelevant, refrain from disturbance," but this effect isn’t actualized in Divine Sense exchange—when you’re exchanging Divine Sense, who knows if you want it sensed?

If genuinely unnoticed, why not converse face-to-face? White Pebble Beach isn’t huge.

Or, if you are truly capable, point-to-point Divine Sense exchange works too.

Point-to-point Divine Sense exchange... isn’t too difficult, the challenge lies in mutual mastery of the technique.

Some have reached the cultivation level where specialized techniques are unnecessary, but ensure the interlocutor has this ability.

So, although practitioners near White Pebble Beach are generally high-level, mobile phones are more popular; where to state this reasoning?

These tangents aside, Earth Realm electronics currently sell well in Kunhao, achieving major breakthroughs beyond communication series, even catching Feng Jun off guard.

Washing machines... do you need them? A Cleaning Spell solves it fine, doesn’t it?

Microwave ovens... employing a casual Fire Attribute technique, isn’t it sufficient?

However, the unstoppable current of times, Feng Jun certainly won’t be the obstruction—but bringing Earth Realm televisions is fine, absolutely no dramas!

Today’s dramas, what are they about? Not that there’s no quality, but one in thousands?

All in all, there aren’t many matters at White Pebble Beach, yet trivial matters are abundantly present. Since Feng Jun is here, he couldn’t help but activate the Bidirectional Gate, alternating overnights between the two locations.

Truthfully, he doesn’t sleep alternately every night; upon reaching the Earth Realm, he’d lie through the night without rushing back, instead directly calling Li Shishi, "How’s the data translation going?"

"I’ve been making efforts," Li Shishi reluctantly says, "but the gap between ideal and reality is vast... Elder, I really want to quit."

Feng Jun blinks, "Want to quit? I won’t pressure you, your benefits remain unchanged, remember to handover after transferring relations... coordinate with Liang Siyu for transitioning."

Li Shishi initially freezes, then tears surge forth, bursting into sobs, "Elder, why be so heartless?"

"Heartless?" Feng Jun slightly furrows his brow, "What did I do? You said you wanted to quit... forcibly keeping you is heartless, no?"

"It was just a spur-of-the-moment frustration," Li Shishi wipes her tears, sniffles, "You wouldn’t console me?"

Do I owe it to you? Inwardly, Feng Jun feels intensely helpless.

Yet, knowing his own salted fish in nature, he offers, "Alright, organize yourself again, how’s the data translation?"

"Very difficult," Li Shishi’s grief seems endless, tears continuously streaming down, "recently hasn’t been easy, the difficulty feels increasing."

"Telling me difficult?" Feng Jun chuckles, unsure what to say—many of his experiences defy sharing, after shaking his head, "Fine, I won’t bother you... can’t complete the task?"

"I can," Li Shishi uncharacteristically confirms, she never was like this; this time seemed different.

Feng Jun can’t resist stealing a glance, "Changed your mind?"

"The following tasks ease slightly," Li Shishi refrains from deceiving, candidly admits, "just expressing discomfort, but current stretches are hardest, persisting improves gradually."

Feng Jun glances at her, "I wouldn’t assign you unfeasible tasks, others exist at Wenxian Manor, too."

Such tasks at Luohua were sidelined, core figures like Zhang Caixin and Gazi wouldn’t bother, influenced somewhat by Li Shishi’s inactive demeanor.

Feng Jun’s comment contained hints—mentioning Wenxian Manor, not Luohua.

"Wenxian Manor?" Li Shishi ponders, then bashfully mutters, "Elder, I’d like household registration transferred, migrating to Wenxian Manor... is it possible?"

Feng Jun quirks an eyebrow, "How did you arrive at this?"

"Director Lin mentioned it," Li Shishi promptly betrays Beauty Lin, inevitably seemingly, she can’t comprehend links herein, stuck in the mentality: "Zhengyang City Urban Village" registration renders me capable.

Even harboring thoughts, currently Feng’s status—well, his future looks prominent, but if in Zhengyang unresolved matters arise, could I handle them?

However, post "database incident" unwittingly she was disastrously schemed against by Beauty Lin, instinctively seeking trouble.

Yet, Lin imparted more than harm, extending aid in aspects like understanding "Wenxian Manor" residential identity. Lin emphasizes securing this record—if unwilling, sell it to me, I’ll offer a billion.
