Chapter 697 - 407: Cows? Where Are the Cows? (2)
So now he chose to temporarily mute the group messages and wait until he has some free time to check them.
So what he didn’t know was that the group had already started discussing how to elegantly transport people with a large truck...
Otherwise, upon seeing it he would also exclaim in appreciation, then ask, if the person needing transport is above Hero Level, what should be done if the truck’s tonnage isn’t enough?
It’s impossible to have it not act at all, have the truck immediately transform into an Optimus Prime and give the other side a million-ton oil rotation, right?
But now, Xue Dili looked at his System Panel, which had basically transformed from a tool displaying his status and integrating small functions into a cross-world chat group launcher.
Perhaps in the near future, he would personally try to modify this panel and build a completely new one.
"I’m back!" Xue Dili pushed the door open.
The house was empty, and even though it was dinner time, not a single person was home, which puzzled Xue Dili.
Is dinner not being eaten at home today?
As soon as he entered, Xue Dili saw a note stuck on the back of the door.
"Dad, Grandma took us and Sister Fafnir to Sister Rabi’s place to play at her vacation home. If you come back, you can find us there. Grandma said she’d take us to play for a few extra days, so no need to worry about us. — Xue Linglong"
Seeing this note, Xue Dili couldn’t help but smile.
The family went to a vacation home for a trip—it seems they won’t return today. Xue Dili lay on the sofa, thinking he might visit the vacation home tomorrow as well; it also counts as going home to have some fun.
Today, he might be busy with the upcoming Mist Council, and the death of the Twelfth Apostle might cause quite a stir in the Mist Council.
Thinking this, Xue Dili prepared to eat casually and begin preparing to deal with the Apostles.
Before falling asleep, Xue Dili started checking the group messages as if browsing the web.
But upon checking the group, he found it had been locked down, displaying only one line of announcement.
[The Mimic Venerable King has received modification suggestions for the cross-world chat group and is upgrading the system, soon to upgrade to cross-world chat group version 0.1 with the following updates:
1. Added a group task system, where everyone can post respective tasks within the group, and others can accept them. Posting tasks requires depositing half of the reward into the Mimic Venerable King in advance to successfully post. The Mimic Venerable King will evaluate task levels, ranging from low to high as D, C, B, A, S, super S Standard tasks.
2. Added a group mall system, where any world or person can list valuable items in the group mall. They can set it to either auction mode or a one-price mode. The system only supports valuable products including resources, Spiritual Energy, High Tier Magic or Techniques, Magic insights, Treasures, etc. Currently, population trafficking is not supported, so stop thinking about human trading, even if you disguise it as a "Summoning of the Brave" scenario! This option cannot be open.
3. Other new functionalities include customizable avatar uploads, chat frame color changes, interface style options, etc., temporarily updated to this extent. I’ll go ahead and make a minimized system panel, please do not disturb.]
The announcement carried the distinct style of the Mimic Venerable King. Xue Dili did not expect it to be upgraded this quickly.
Directly adding the previously discussed group task bar and group mall functions—of course, operating these features entails commissions for the Interstellar Corps and Mimic Venerable King.
Other worlds require such a platform, while the Interstellar Corps and Mimic Venerable King have spent considerable efforts building it—also expending resources in constructing a stable Subspace—and without considering research inputs, a significant amount of resources have been invested, which need recouping.
Thus, the Mimic Venerable King decided that task publishing will incur an additional 50% profit margin, while the group mall will have a 30% tax deduction.
Though the rates are high, it is the galaxy’s only platform, at the same time comprehensive transport needs are fully covered by the Interstellar Corps—this includes their transportation costs.
Moreover, the Mimic Venerable King acts as a third-party control platform, preventing the leak of planetary coordinates, with complete mid-transfer oversight by the Interstellar Corps.
Overall, both parties seemed relatively satisfied, yet many worlds distinctly benefited from the group’s advantages, however, the sudden shutdown for upgrades left them scratching their heads.
Meanwhile, Susu finally couldn’t sleep and arrived at the Magic Academy’s podium, watching Xue Dili fiddling with his System Panel, saying, "Bro, what’s that glowing thing you had earlier? I actually thought it was the sun falling."
"The glowing thing? Oh, you can consider it as one of my friends," Xue Dili explained.
After all, this kid was somewhat clueless, directly telling her about the Mimic Venerable King would likely lead to a puzzled expression and opposite questioning, "What’s the Mimic Venerable King?"
"If you have nothing to do later, you can monitor here. Once the chat group update concludes and people start talking, let me know," Xue Dili assigned Susu a simple task.
"Oh, no problem, my dorm can see it, I’ll take a look after I get up," Susu patted her chest, indicating her ability to accomplish the task, with thumping confidence.
