Not long after the Great Wizard Greenwyn operated the forum interface, he exchanged with others and retreated. Lin was not surprised, after all, there were not many things to see on the forum now. It is impossible to ask these magicians and great magicians to see the introductory knowledge that only the apprentices need to gnaw.

The great magician who walked towards Lin was no longer the curious baby, with a sparkling expression in his eyes. When the hot novelty wore off, he began to examine the usefulness of the forum. The magicians of the Maze World are all pragmatists. With a slightly regretful expression, he said to Lin: "It's a pity, although the forum is quite convenient for long-distance communication, not everything can be known to everyone. ”

"Oh, is it a matter of secrecy. I've also considered this part. Lin explained the design of the forum's permissions. As he spoke, the rest of the people also stood up.

Regarding the authority of the forum, Lin did not use the set of the earth, and the members of several levels to make a distinction. Instead, it uses the Linux system and is divided into three categories: user permissions, group permissions, and guest permissions.

Turning on guest permissions, without a doubt, is completely open to the public. In the established forum, all the discussion threads in the 'miscellaneous' discussion board are preset to the state of full guest permissions.

If the user permission is limited, it cannot be opened or modified except for the user himself.

For Lin, the more troublesome design is in the group permissions. In the registration section, you only need to fill in the name, the organization to which you belong, and the magician's own secret seal as a password. The name is the user, of course, Lin skipped a point here, that is, it is impossible to verify whether the name filled in is the real name. It is stated directly in the description column after the space, and it is the same as the name registered in the Wizards' Guild. Guide others to register with their real names to save the trouble caused by anonymity in the future.

The organization will be the user's group name. If the group name is not used before, a new group will be created and a new discussion section will be created in the discussion board at the same time as registration. This new discussion section is preset to be viewed only by group members. If a person wants to join the group, everyone in the group needs to agree to be a member of the group.

A user can have multiple group identities. If a user does not log in to the forum for 10 consecutive days, their privileges will be suspended. If you do not log in for one year, the user will be deleted, but the posts and comments submitted in the past will be retained. This is applied when someone is missing or dead, so that new members of the group cannot get group permissions because the missing or deceased person cannot consent. Or when everyone in the group – except the person – agrees to expel someone, they can be stripped of their group privileges.

In addition, all the discussion forums are not designed to delete articles, in fact, this is all deliberate by Lin. Anyway, no one in the world knows that there should be an administrator in the discussion forum, so treat it as if there is none, and the background system and administrator permissions are regarded as the backdoor opened by themselves, in case of future emergencies. But it's more likely to be left unnoticed.

Otherwise, if he had to explain to a group of magicians who were older than himself, why he was able to serve as the manager of the forum, and why the rules were so ordered, Lin couldn't help but tremble when he thought about it. If you let it go unchecked, you will form your own order after a long time. Besides, it's my real name, so I'm really unhappy to go out for a real PK. The magicians of the world of the Lost Land are not so much pragmatism as they are practical.

Hiding what he shouldn't have mentioned and what he didn't want to mention, Lin struggled to explain to the five Inspector Magicians that they could understand. Greenwyn and others recognized the forum and asked the second question they were most concerned about: "This magic...... Do you have any procedures to turn in? ”

Magicians and tower owners who are registered under the association can get subsidies from the association at a fixed time. This money is not given in vain, and every magician must submit a result to the guild every three years. Of course, this surrender does not mean that the achievement belongs to the association, but only to prove that he continues to move forward on the road of magic.

When someone else is interested in the magic, they can pay to get the content and learn to use it. In other words, the cultural level of the world is almost the same as that of medieval Europe on Earth. But in the field of magic, there is already the concept of patent rights and royalties.

For Lin, being able to have one more way to make money is something that you can't ask for, so why bother cherishing yourself. What's more, the most precious thing about the forum is the user group, not the structure of the forum. The more people use it, the more valuable it is.

So in the face of Greenwin's question, Lin said: "About this, I am ready. He greeted Kaya at the same time. The brown-skinned girl then took out a wooden box for sealing and walked towards the group.

This kind of wooden box for sealing is used by magicians when they pass through the chamber of commerce's chariots and horses to exchange valuables and secret messages with the association. Normally, there is no way for a little thief to break through the seal, but when he encounters a robber who is also a magician, it will not work.

The seal placed on it will have the mark of each mage, which cannot be restored after the seal is broken. Therefore, the use of this kind of wooden box is not so much to prevent thieves as to prove that it has not been opened by idle people in the process of transportation. It has a similar effect to the fire paint wax seal of medieval Europe on Earth.

However, at this time, the wooden box that Kaya brought had not yet been sealed, so Lin opened it casually and took out the three hand-copied booklets and three magic stones inside. On the magic stone of the Red Yao level, there is a ribbon with a note written on it, which has a corresponding symbol for the booklet.

Placing them on the lid of the closed wooden box, Lin said: "This is the research result of my three-year period, which is scheduled to be handed over to the association. They are the domain name system, the web system, and the browser. The first is to simplify the conversion of the complex sigils of the Magic Tower's energy pools into common and regular URLs that can quickly communicate with each other. The second is to build the foundation of the forum. The first two must have an energy pool as a carrier before they can be used. The third one is that the Hongyao-level high-grade magic stone or above can be used as a carrier, and it is also the terminal interface mainly used by magicians. ”

The reason why he was able to prepare these things quickly was because of the related concepts and designs, and Lin had conceived and experimented with them when he discovered that the magic power of the Maze World was similar to that of an eight-bit computer. It's just that the magic stones that could be bought at that time were not enough to load server-level operations, so the program was limited to the logical rationality of machine language. It wasn't until he became the tower master of the Great Sage Tower that he really implemented the whole system and adjusted its contents.

That is to say, these days, Lin's main job during the day is to debug and then bring the system online. Feeling that he was going crazy by catching bed bugs some time ago, Lin felt a sense of relief at this time, and said, "The relevant notes have been prepared." Originally, it was going to wait for the next convoy of the Chamber of Commerce to arrive and entrust them to send things back to the Association. ”

"Then ......" Greenwyn and the other Ombudsman all had eager expressions, but they still asked with restraint, "Do you plan to sell this knowledge for what price?" ”

Lin stretched out a finger and said, "Every kind of I Kiel." ”

The five Ombudsmen were shocked! He also stretched out a finger and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "I Kiel?" ”

Lin's price after careful consideration is definitely not too expensive, but too cheap. Looking at the five people opposite, their expressions were more exaggerated than when they first saw the forum and video clips before, Lin knew that this really shocked them.

Coins in the world of Lost Land, minted in every country. Basically, as long as it is not bad money—coins that are insanely poor and have too many impurities—can be circulated all over the continent. Generally speaking, there are three types of coins: Kiel, Jiangjun, and Danba, which are actually gold, silver, and copper coins.

Jiang Jun and Danba are used for quite small transactions, and basically only ordinary people use them. Transactions between magicians are all in Kiel. coarse grains for four people and a half, I Kiel (1 gold); Introductory books on magic, each of which is XX Kiel (20g); The most widely used high-level attack magic in the Maze world, which can be obtained from the Guild, is the Samath Flame Serpent, CM Kiel (900g).

Generally, as long as a magician has an apprentice, he can receive a monthly grant from the association, which is between XX and LXX Kiel (20-70 gold).

The price of Kiel is not much for a formal magician. After all, magical knowledge is a one-time deal, not an ongoing expense.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the association didn't allow free broadcasting, and the smallest unit of price was Kiel, Lin would have considered ordering a lower price. But it's impossible to be free, how many plucked hairs to supplement the family.

The price is so set because Lin remembers hearing a sentence from Microsoft's big boss Bill Gates one year before the time crossing. The gist of it is this: if there were no piracy in the world, Microsoft would be more than five times the size of what it was then.

In fact, anyone who really understands knows that if there is no piracy, Microsoft will not have a later market share at all, let alone five times the cloud.

Before the computer window, it was a hundred schools of thought, and Microsoft was the oldest. When the computer window began, Jobs didn't just sell OS, he had to package and sell it with his machine, and the trust method should have done it first. Windows has a chance to dominate the personal PC, but it's only an opportunity. What really made Windows95 dominate the world was not the rampant piracy, which led to the later country.

For Lin who came to the world of Lost Land, instead of making money selling the system, it was better to find a way to increase the user base. In the same way as operating an online game or a mobile game, the number of users increases, and there is an opportunity to make money. It's not that there is a saying: free is the most expensive.

However, these truths are difficult for the natives of the Lost World to understand. Just as Greenwyn had a serious expression after being shocked, he coughed and cleared his throat before saying, "Tower Master, I believe you can also feel our interest in these magic procedures, and you are also interested in learning. But I don't want you to set this price because of the influence of the authority of our Ombudsman. We don't have any intention of coercing your lord, but we don't want these magic spells to become bribes. ”

"Your Excellency the Great Magician, you really misunderstood." Seeing that the other party said cautiously, Lin hurriedly shook his hand and responded: "I don't have any intention of bribing or being threatened, this is really my original pricing idea." Of course, after arriving at the association, the follow-up management, copying, and copying of the magic stone all cost money, and the price may not only be Ikiel. It's not something I can decide, I just hope that if this thing is really convenient, then it will make more sense if enough people can use it. ”

Looking at the booklet with a few thin sheets of paper, and the few magic stones that glowed red, Greenwin nodded approvingly. Ordinary high-level magical knowledge is expensive, so the cost of the scribe's salary, paper, and other necessary add-ons is negligible. Not to mention that the association also has a tap in it.

But the three things that Gaybrash Lin Tripwood offered might not have sold for enough to cover the cost of copying. Therefore, when the association sells this knowledge in the future, it will inevitably add the cost. However, this also means that as long as the materials are at their own expense, the person in front of them will only charge the fee of Ikiel.

Thinking of this, the five of them moved almost in unison, taking out a shiny gold coin and a yellow magic stone. "Then ask the tower master to help me copy the magic stone of the browser."

"Well, in fact, the browser can use the Red Yao-level magic stone. Wouldn't it be too wasteful to take the yellow clothes? ”

"This is the lowest-grade magic stone on our body. It's okay, just use this. ”

Damn, these big dogs. Lin sneered in his heart.
