CHAPTER 70: INDUSTRIAL AGE ARRIVES

The Goddess of Magic’s mouth twitched. With a wave of her hand, the Magic Net ring distribution map (IP location map) they’d made recently instantly appeared before everyone: "With the war’s end, the Magic Net’s coverage area has expanded again. Especially the breakthrough in the Elven Kingdom has increased our faith power growth significantly."

"Huh?! It really has! How did those stubborn guys come around?" Ren looked at the map with some surprise.

The Magic Net had entered the Elven Kingdom very early on, but was quickly resisted by the elves, with the spread remaining very limited.

Ren had even classified it as the ’hardest nut to crack,’ thinking he’d focus attention here after eating up other areas pretty thoroughly.

He never expected the Magic Net to have quietly spread throughout the Elven Kingdom.

"Probably because of that previous war? The tide of the times rolls forward—even the most stubborn folks will try to engage and adapt when facing things that can threaten their safety." Betty also spoke with considerable emotion.

Ren looked at Betty with some surprise, "Wow?! I never thought you’d say something so philosophical!"

"That’s because you don’t understand me well enough!" Betty said somewhat proudly: "But with elves appearing on the Magic Net, will they get into fights with other mages?"

The elves’ personalities seemed relatively peaceful, but thinking about how they actually treated magic as ’heresy’ inevitably made people suspicious.

Thinking that the Magic Net might currently be staging elves versus mages, verbal battles, offline duels, they quickly pulled out the Magic Net to take a look, afraid things might get out of control—these were all excellent sources of faith!

"Don’t worry, though the elves and mages do have some verbal conflicts, they’re not serious. Instead, these elves are very interested in Magic Conductors. Many elves are staying up all night in the Magic Conductor forums, and quite a few are almost ready to kneel and beg the Wild Mage to take them as disciples. The Elven Kingdom’s Chief Druid has been constantly bothering Viscount Roster, wanting to understand Magic Conductor industrial mass production technology..."

Before Ren and the others could open the Magic Net, they heard the book start talking non-stop.

After several days, finally there was a topic he could jump into. Once he started, he just couldn’t stop. Normally, Ren would definitely interrupt this guy, but this time, he didn’t make any sound because he was digesting this information from the book.

This information was pretty dense!

The elves being interested in Magic Conductors wasn’t surprising.

Anyone learning about that war would probably be interested, but their interest in Magic Conductor industrialization, and with the Chief Druid asking about it, made things start getting subtle.

He felt like these elves were definitely planning something.

Whatever!

Anyway, it wasn’t bad for his side.

The Magic Net was naturally better the more people used it.

The appearance of ray guns directly broke the law that apprentices couldn’t use magic. Many apprentices with insufficient talent who could never become official mages in their lifetime, after experiencing the powerful force brought by ray guns, unsurprisingly became Ren’s believers, even fanatics.

Now, the God of Technology’s believers had exceeded ten thousand, with fanatics reaching an astonishing five hundred plus. Through these people’s efforts, faith was growing rapidly.

Ren didn’t know how many times other deities’ fanatics prayed daily, but his fanatics, in order to use the Magic Net with high intensity, prayed dozens of times daily... Even at the same level, one prayer was equivalent to a hundred prayers from ordinary casual believers.

These ten sessions were equivalent to a thousand people—the speed of faith accumulation was outrageous!

You could only say: fanatics + internet addiction = infinite faith output machine.

Collecting his thoughts, Ren learned about the Magic Net’s current general situation. When he learned from the book that Magic Net users had broken through 300,000, with these users being mage apprentices at minimum, possessing faith power supply far exceeding ordinary people, averaging 4.6 prayers daily...

After learning this data, Ren finally understood why the Goddess of Magic said they temporarily didn’t lack faith power. With such a terrifying base, if the faith power this brought couldn’t maintain a divine realm, other deities would probably have had their divine realms collapse long ago and run off somewhere!

After simple communication, they also asked about the book’s purpose. After confirming it was because certain functions of new features couldn’t be effectively completed, Ren gave simple guidance and once again focused attention on the magic power engine.

With his King of Creation authority, plus the Goddess of Magic and Betty, they quickly created the envisioned magic power engine and even made some detail optimizations.

Ren looked at the magic power engine before him, his mouth full of smiles!

This epoch-making creation was finally about to be completed!

The entire mortal realm would begin massive changes because of this creation!

The industrial age was about to begin!

The age of technology would eventually arrive!

"Finally finished, absolutely perfect." Betty looked at the magic power engine and couldn’t help but marvel: "I never imagined magic power could operate like this! This Magic Conductor is like a magic power amplifier—magic power that could originally only lift one stone can definitely lift half a castle after going through this big guy!"

"It’s not that exaggerated." Ren showed a helpless expression: "But in specific aspects, it can indeed show stronger effects."

He could even imagine that once spinning machines, mining machinery, and engineering machinery were equipped with magic power engines, all product output would skyrocket infinitely, becoming cheap. Magic-powered cars and magic-powered trains would also appear, making transportation simple and easy...

In his previous world, from the steam engine’s appearance to completing basic industrialization took a very, very long time—at least one or two hundred years. But this world was different. Magic power was like a special energy source everywhere. Ren was confident that under his guidance, industrialization speed would be rocket-like, changing with each passing day.

At the same time.

Roster Territory.

Viscount Roster looked with interest at the Magic Sword 2.0 before him.

Out of respect, they hadn’t directly taken magic bombs and ray guns for improvement, but started with close-combat weapons invented by the Wild Mage—magic swords.

Originally, magic swords needed an apprentice to activate them before being handed to ordinary soldiers or knights for use, but now the situation was completely different.

Viscount Roster didn’t use the magic power in his body, just lightly pressed a button on it. Instantly, a blade composed of magic power appeared before him. "Success! My friend, this is truly amazing!"

"Yes, success! Now anyone can directly use magic swords!" the Wild Mage said with a smile: "But there’s still one problem we must find a way to solve!"
