Chapter 157: World Tree? Tech tree?

"But, now that I know that this thing is the Starnet host, how am I going to use it?"

Zhang Xiaoman held the trunk of the tree with his hand and opened its properties panel.

Stage: Elementary.

- The main body of the star network, which is used to connect all terminals and provide additional functions.

The star network host is a big tree, and this setting is a little beyond his expectations, but he has watched too many networks and movies, and it's not unacceptable.

"But in that case, how can I control it? Could it be that this host is actually uncontrollable? ”

Zhang Xiaoman muttered to himself, but as soon as he finished speaking, a prompt suddenly sounded from the watch he had been holding in his hand.

"The main body of the star network has been detected, owner: Zhang Xiaoman, the authority of the first machine has been granted, please open it to view."

After hearing this voice, his attention was immediately attracted by the watch worn on the inside of his wrist, which was the star network terminal that he had never had the opportunity to use since he drew it, and Zhang Xiaoman was used to calling it a star watch.

Spreading his palm, he swiped his right hand to the right on the surface of the catalog, and a ray of light shot out of it, and then a three-dimensional virtual operation interface was projected on the palm of his left hand.

As soon as the interface appeared, a progress bar lit up, and a series of prompts sounded.

"The permission of the first machine is detected, and the system is reloading......"

"Verifying security protocol ......"

"Verification successful."

"Start connecting to the Star Network ......"

"The connection is successful."

"Start downloading basic module information......

"The download was successful."

……

"System authorization has been completed, welcome, Star Master."

Immediately afterwards, a new picture that was different from the previous one appeared in front of Zhang Xiaoman's eyes, and there was no longer only a simple communication interface in his star catalog as before.

Flipping through it with his finger, he found that there were already a variety of functional modules inside, such as "information", "social", "mall", "task", etc., all of which are very applicable functions.

Zhang Xiaoman casually clicked on the "Information" column and found that it contained some basic information about himself, including a series of detailed contents such as "contributions" and "meritorious service".

He then opened the "Mall" function, but saw that it was empty, but Zhang Xiaoman found an "Add" button in the upper right corner, and he guessed that this should be a function that only the first machine has.

Sure enough, as he clicked to add, the list of items in his own system mall and gang store appeared, and he could selectively add goods to the mall, and later be purchased by members of the Star Alliance by consuming contribution points, and he could also set purchase permissions, such as requiring merit to be greater than a certain value to buy.

Just as Zhang Xiaoman was looking at the new functions of the star catalog with great joy, a prompt suddenly sounded from it.

"The star network host is ready, Star Lord, hello."

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly heard someone talking to him, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you?" ”

The voice answered immediately.

"I'm the main program of the Star Network host, 'Star Rank System', you can also call me Star Rank, or name me again."

"Star rank system? In other words, you are the big tree? ”

Zhang Xiaoman was very curious, as for the troublesome thing of renaming it, he skipped it directly.

In the star catalog, the ethereal medium-sized voice sounded again.

"If you look at it from the point of view of a level 4 civilization or less, it can indeed be understood in this way."

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned: "Level 4 civilization? ”

At this time, he suddenly sounded the kaleidoscope of enlightenment that he had drawn, and it was mentioned in the remarks at that time that this equipment was the standard equipment of the "Star Alliance", and when he later used the building order, the name "Star Alliance" was indeed borrowed there.

"In other words, maybe somewhere in this universe, there really is a 'Star Alliance'?"

Zhang Xiaoman's heart flashed a series of questions, he didn't know if his "Star Alliance" had anything to do with the Star Alliance described in the Qiling Kaleidoscope? Or is it actually his Star Covenant just created out of nothing?

"System, what exactly do you mean by level 4 civilization? Do you know anything about other civilizations in the universe? What level of civilization is Aqua Blue Star? Where did you come from? ”

He asked some of the doubts in his mind, desperate to know the answers.

Over there, the Star Rank System didn't pause after hearing its question, and immediately responded.

"I'm sorry, Star Lord, there is no record of your question, I just searched all the information databases, but I didn't find any records."

"No records?"

Zhang Xiaoman was stunned, very disappointed in his heart, it seemed that either the transformation of the Jiangang Order erased the original database of the Star Network, or it was really just created out of thin air.

"Alright then, Star Rank, can you tell me what your specific role is?"

"The Star Rank System is the system for managing the order of the Star Alliance, and I will be responsible for assisting you in the management of the Star Alliance and handling your operation of the host."

"Oh? In other words, if I want to operate the host, I can just tell you directly? ”

"Yes, Star Lord."

Zhang Xiaoman became interested and asked, "Then how do I know what operations the host can do?" Isn't there a directory for these? ”

"Normally, most of the physical and information interactions can be counted as control commands, but if you're referring to the main system functions, I can provide you with a basic catalog upon request."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiaoman found that the projection interface of his star catalog suddenly changed, and a series of functions of the star network system suddenly appeared on it.

He randomly selected a function in it, and then asked, "What's going on with this defensive barrier?" Can you tell me about that? ”

"Okay, Star Lord. The Defensive Enchantment is a special enchantment activated by the main body of the Star Net, which currently has functions such as 'Protection', 'Mask', and 'Spatial Stabilization', and you can purchase corresponding upgrades by consuming Stardust in the Gang Shop. ”

"Can you still upgrade?"

Zhang Xiaoman opened the gang store and took a look, and sure enough, he found many upgrade items inside, all of which were only available after he bought the Starnet console.

Various commodities such as shield range upgrades, communication system upgrades, energy upgrades, etc., are all paged separately and can be viewed in the upgrade options of the star network system.

Zhang Xiaoman even found many functional modules to upgrade and purchase in it, such as the social module can be upgraded to a more advanced community communication module, and the holographic simulation module can also be purchased for Stardust, and then Star Alliance members can download and install it on their own star network terminals.

When he first saw this big tree, his first reaction was that he had planted a world tree.

But now, after he saw these upgrade options in the gang shop, Zhang Xiaoman instantly felt that what he had planted might not be as simple as the World Tree, but also a technology tree that could climb technology.
