“So you’re saying we can improve information transfer so much better using this… internet?” looking at him with interest in his eyes, Hua Jingxian asked Wu Xiaotian, his expression that of someone extremely fascinated with the thing he just heard.
“Yeah, we can pretty much update every information gathered outside remotely, and in real-time at that” the immortal-like young man said with a smile on his face, handing out basic information about the internal operation of the thing he wants to introduce, the attention of the bearded middle-aged man in front of him completely piqued.
“Your conditions?” despite being pretty close to the young man, Hua Jingxian firmly believes that there’s no free meal in this world, and even if the immortal-like young man is truly just helping them out of nothing, he still feels that it is not fair for this son-in-law of his to receive nothing for introducing such great thing.
“Unrestricted access to all the information that will be contained there” Wu Xiaotian answered, Hua Jingxian smiling as he pretty much knew that this will be what the young man asks for, something he can easily grant if what he’s talking about can actually be realized. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

“So how does it work?” after hearing the offer of his son-in-law, Hua Jingxian decisively accepted the deal, immediately going to plan the whole thing with him.
———-
“This is quite the resource intensive task…” after they finished drafting their preliminary plans, Hua Jingxian said as he looks at approximate amount of spirit stones that will be used for this project, however, considering the improvement it brings when it comes to their information gathering ability, the amount he’s seeing is pretty much spare change in exchange for what they are about to gain.
“When will it be completed?” Wu Xiaotian asked with anticipation in his eyes, the thought of personally introducing something that will change the world he currently lives in making him quite proud as well as excited, especially because he will be one of the people who will benefit from this project the most.
“Within at most three weeks, we can already complete phase one and establish a remote connection between each of the branches of the tower within the entire continent” Hua Jingxian estimated as he checks the scale of the project, nodding after that as if he’s really sure that the project will be completed within his estimations.
“After that, mass produce this schematic and sell it to the public” pulling out a paper from his spatial ring, Wu Xiaotian said while handing the paper to Hua Jingxian, the bearded middle-aged man’s eyes growing in surprise as he scans what is written inside the paper.
Written on it, a seemingly simple device capable of multiple functions, including messaging, calling, taking photographs and videos and other things mentioned that seems obscure to him, programming, application installation and all sorts of things.
“Is this that thing that little Xian’er is always fiddling with in her free time?” Hua Jingxian asked with interest in his face as if he saw a great toy.
“I call it a phone, something that can be used to communicate with any other user of that thing that the user is friend with, I have other bigger plans for that but that is for later, for now, we need to establish popularity for this” Wu Xiaotian introduced, the interest in Hua Jingxian’s eyes growing larger as he scans the array meant to be engraved on the object used for the item.
“This is a really brilliant array, combining three runic arrays into one for space efficiency and improved production rate” Hua Jingxian blabbered, clearly excited while scanning the runic array displayed in the paper.
“Three huh… Uncle Jingxian, in terms of mastery and knowledge of runic arrays, how will you rate yourself if we’re talking about the whole continent” hearing his words, Wu Xiaotian curiously asked, prompting the bearded middle-aged man to look at him with confusion in his eyes, wondering why the young man in front of him suddenly got curious about this.
“If we don’t count those four old men often in their fishing spot, I could say that I am within the top five among the continent’s best runic array grandmasters” dropping a bomb that is not so known to anyone except for the other four within that ranking, Hua Jingxian informed, hoping to shock the son-in-law in front of him, only for him to wonder even more as the young man’s smile grew even further.
“The other four compared to you?” he continues to inquire, the middle-aged man wondering even more now.
“Not that much of a difference, we’re called the top five because there’s really no way to know who’s better than who, but we all have different specialization, mine being deciphering arrays” the bearded middle-aged man proudly declared, being knocked into the ground by the next words the immortal-like young man in front of him said.
“If even the greatest runic array grandmaster in terms of deciphering couldn’t see it, then that means my work with that array really succeeded” Wu Xiaotian said as he points somewhere in the runic array’s diagram, tracing his finger along the intricate lines, making them light up as trace of his transcendent qi is infused into them, Hua Jingxian’s surprise getting bigger and bigger as the young man starts to complete whatever he’s tracing.
“There’s another array…” seeing the complete traces, Hua Jingxian mutters in absolute astonishment while looking at the young man in front of him, wondering just how a teen age youth can create something as absurd as this runic array, and even managing to hide a fourth array in the already extremely compressed diagram, a fourth array that will completely pass through his eyes if not for the young man pointing it out.
“Right, this is an array tied with the mainframe of our internet project, the data being sent by each and every phones directly being sent to our mainframe first, creating a copy for our own use before it relays the data being sent to the intended receiver” Wu Xiaotian explains, making Hua Jingxian nods in acknowledgement, the thing that the young man thought about being the first advantage he could think of when he first noticed the use of the device as well, only, the young man beat him to it as he already has a way to actualize the idea while he does not.
“Given how convenient and useful of a device this phone is, it is guaranteed to explode in popularity… probably even to the point that every people in the continent will have one in the near future…” Hua Jingxian speculated, his experience from all the years of interaction with the economic world of the continent making his insights extremely valuable and reliable.
“Everything underneath the heaven is within our sight… that is why the official name of the project is Heaven’s Eye…” he muttered to himself while looking at the young man in front of him, the thing he just shown today, as well as all the talents that he had already showcased previously making him believe that despite all of his heightened expectations and belief of him, he still underestimates this young man’s true potential, making him wonder just where is true limits lie.
