20: Chapter 20: Conditions for Opening a New Dimension
...
"Eyes, lungs, pancreas... so many tasty treats, so little time..."
It shouldn't only be the Venom plane.
On his second night in the Philippines, Lin Fang gazed thoughtfully at the movie playing on loop and typed a phrase into his phone: 'Conditions to open a new plane?'
He wanted to find some inspiration online. Instantly, countless results popped up.
Ignoring the first page of junk ads, Lin Fang continued scrolling, only to find the second page was also full of ads!
What a garbage browser.
Lin Fang had had enough. An idea popped into his head, and he spoke up, "Little Black, create a task."
The moment the words left his mouth, a small black cat wearing black glasses appeared on the screen.
[Executing the boss's will!]
Lin Fang was a bit puzzled by its words. "Little Black, what have you been learning lately?"
[Playing games.]
[I've discovered that engaging in friendly communication with other players during matches can enhance my comprehension skills and literary cultivation.]
Playing games has that function? Lin Fang was surprised, but Little Black wouldn't lie. It seemed he should find time to play some games too.
"Little Black, you're going to develop a browser."
The little black cat immediately pulled out a pen and notebook.
[Boss, any requirements?]
"Intelligent, clean, efficient."
But that wasn't enough. A good browser required too many elements. After a moment of thought, Lin Fang continued, "Also, mimic all the features that netizens praise about the major browsers on the market and incorporate them."
It didn't matter if he couldn't think of them himself. Whatever the others had would do.
The little black cat wrote furiously:
[The profit model the boss desires?]
Lin Fang's slender fingers tapped on the table. For browsers, ad service fees were the main source of revenue. This was also why major internet companies often forgot their original intentions—the money was just too good.
Although he had no intention of profiting from this browser himself, a product without revenue was unhealthy and Unfavorable long-term development.
"Implement a membership system. Becoming a member unlocks some additional service features for them," Lin Fang decided.
[What service features does the boss desire? Can minors use them?]
The little black cat's pen never stopped.
"Figure it out yourself. I've said enough already."
"..."
[Task created. Estimated time: 168H]
Lin Fang smiled as he watched the little black cat disappear. He had once looked at Little Black's underlying code, but couldn't understand it at all. It wasn't written in any current computer language, but in a completely new one, incomprehensible to humanity at present.
Because of this, from space stations above to secret military bases below, nothing could hinder its progress.
The entire world was its "botnet."
The reason it would take so long this time was also because Lin Fang had restricted its operational scope and allocated virtually no computing power to prevent accidental exposure.
Since it wasn't an emergency, it could stay like this for now. Once that server was installed in the basement, Little Black's computing power situation would improve significantly. Money wasn't an issue anyway. Should he buy two more servers?
Or perhaps just buy an entire data center outright.
...
After having Little Black filter out the Invalid content, the webpages on Lin Fang's phone immediately became refreshing. Based on discussions from various novels, games, and Silly netizens, he summarized five key points for opening a new plane:
One: Start spending money (whaling).
Two: Buy out Pig Factory and Goose Factory.
Three: Insufficient level.
Four: Haven't completed a certain important task.
Five: Insufficient exploration progress.
