A custom version?

Everyone present fell silent.

How would they customize it?

Different races had way too many differences.

"How about... we just give them a stone that, when they pray to it, creates a Magic Net screen that can freely adjust its size? If they want to embed it in a ring, they can make it a ring. If they want to embed it in a necklace, they can make it a necklace. If all else fails, they can just stick it in their pocket? As long as they're not afraid of losing it." After thinking for quite a while, Ren realized he had no idea how big the dragon race was. It seemed they came in all sizes. And also, giants, dwarves, and the like were all the same way.

"Giving it to the dragon race works since all dragons have magic power. Halflings and such should be fine too. But what about giving it to races like dwarves who have no magic?" The Goddess of Magic immediately filtered out races that had absolutely no magic power.

Without a doubt, if these races wanted to use the Magic Net, they could only use the second-gen Magic Net.

"Ennnnnn, can't think of a good solution." Ren helplessly spread his hands. "Just let them use the second-gen Magic Net themselves. Their size is about right anyway. At worst, if they can't wear it, they can hang the second-gen Magic Net around their necks like a necklace. If that doesn't work, they can figure out their own activator and make it self-adaptive. I can't adapt to them anymore."

The races in this world were incredibly diverse. Even the Goddess of Magic probably hadn't seen them all, let alone Ren, who was a 'newcomer.' Wanting every intelligent life form to have a suitable Magic Net ring was really asking too much. Providing them with the conditions to DIY and make their own was already the limit. If even that didn't work, then they'd just have to self-adapt.

Who told them to be the minority?

They couldn't make a custom version for every single race, could they?

Forget about how exhausting that would be for his dear little assistant Betty—it would be a hassle for the holy spirits to produce too!

To make the Magic Net rings activate only after detecting faith power, these rings had to be produced in the divine realm.

The Goddess of Magic had wanted to say that every believer was equal, but when the words reached her lips, she suddenly thought: did these guys even count as believers?

They couldn't even use magic. Couldn't races that could use magic just DIY like the dragon race?!

As for whether they were believers of Ren, the God of Technology... the God of Technology had so many magic conductors, so what if one of them was occasionally troublesome? If you guys were really believers of the God of Technology, then take a Magic Net ring and modify it yourself, or find a magic conductor expert to modify it. That shouldn't be a problem at all!

It would just mean adding a flint mechanism to the original Magic Net. If nothing else, that 'apprentice' in Roster territory definitely knew how to do it. Having him make a tutorial wasn't impossible either.

They found it difficult and troublesome because they were thinking about targeting all races. But self-adaptation only required considering yourself... The difficulty wasn't even comparable.

"Right. We'll just develop a Magic Net stone they can freely process, and let them handle the rest themselves. If they want to use our Magic Net but are different from everyone else, they should put in a bit more effort themselves. That's only fair." The Goddess of Magic nodded slightly, confirming the matter.

Betty stood to the side and watched for a while before realizing she'd gotten stuck in a rut again. For a moment, she even wondered if she should ask the Goddess of Magic to help upgrade her intelligence core. She always felt like her intelligence core wasn't working that well a lot of the time.

Especially after meeting Ren, she felt like she often couldn't keep up with his thinking!

"Whoa! The Magic Power Network coverage is already this big?" Only now did Betty notice that the map before her was different from the ones she'd seen before. But this time, her intelligence core was pretty helpful and instantly matched what kind of scenario would produce this effect.

When it came to logical thinking, the intelligence core never disappointed. It just had a tendency to go down one path all the way to the end.

Like a... rigid genius?

Just looking at these light spots and light paths, and overlaying them with maps she'd seen before, she instantly understood. "Can we start preparing for a full Magic Net upgrade? The video and picture era—I'm really looking forward to it!"

Remembering what Ren had once said—that once they entered the video and picture era, the operating rules of the entire world would change and all the gods would want to attach themselves to them—Betty got so excited her head seemed a bit unstable.

Before, she might have thought Ren was joking. But after reaching cooperation with the Goddess of Writing, she'd thought of many things. The Goddess of Music, Goddess of Art, God of Wisdom, God of Knowledge, God of Harvest, and other deities could also have functions unique to themselves.

Some of these gods needed their believers to create and spread things, while others could gain more faith by spreading knowledge. They could all make tremendous progress using the new generation Magic Net.

Besides that, it seemed ordinary gods could also spread faith through these functions... She didn't know why, but she thought of the Goddess of Lust and couldn't help but shiver. Why did she feel like the Magic Net's future development would be really... diverse?

"Let's wait until the 'wireless transmission' function is complete." Ren said. "The wireless transmission function will let people directly use picture and video functions within a certain range of the Magic Net, without needing to connect to individual ports. That'll be way more convenient and easier to popularize."

"It's a shame there are still too few literate people, and the Magic Power Network coverage is still too small..."

The Goddess of Magic looked at the map, looked at Ren, looked at her own faith pool—or rather, faith lake—looked at Ren again, and for a moment, her human nature ratio surged once more.

She'd never fought such a wealthy battle before!

And yet Ren still wasn't satisfied.

Sure enough, the gap between gods was bigger than the gap between humans and gods.

But this was actually a good thing!

They were all family. Ren's rapid growth was itself a good thing! What's more, she'd recently noticed some anomalies. Originally, she thought she could only get a cut of faith from the Magic Net. But as magic conductors spread, not everyone using them chose to believe in the God of Technology. Some people thought magic power was the root of everything and directly believed in her.

Anyway, basically, their family filtered these magic conductor users twice. Only after two rounds of filtering, people who still didn't choose to believe could possibly go believe in other gods. This feeling was just too great.

No wonder many gods liked to have their churches directly occupy a small country. The feeling of monopoly was really comfortable!

"You're not thinking about having the entire mortal realm covered by the Magic Power Network and wireless transmission, are you? That's impossible! The magic power emanating from magic cores is evenly distributed to begin with. We're just using magic arrays to gather it and make it more concentrated, then send it where we need it to go. If we spread it out again, wouldn't that be the same as not having self-charging magic arrays?" Betty seemed to realize something and immediately spoke up.

"I'm not an idiot. Of course I know that." Ren gave her an annoyed look. "What I'm thinking now is having all the major cities and major lords be able to popularize it in their territories' core areas... Even in the future, my biggest expectation is just for every village's core area to be able to use it."

Step one: major cities, major lords.

Step two: minor lords, small towns.

Step three: every village connected, every road connected.

Once they reached this step, basically any area could use magic conductors, and the foundation of magic-tech industry would have met the standard.

Ren roughly explained his ideas, but suddenly realized why Betty was here and immediately asked, "But speaking of which, why did you come over?"
