Chapter 1007 Browsing the Light Network

System upgrade in progress, please wait...

There is another countdown below: 00:09:56
Shi Jia tapped the little system, and the little guy fell asleep. "Okay, I'll browse the optical network."

To be honest, after getting the quantum computer, I was busy doing missions and haven't really seen what the optical network of the Cosmic Dimension Alliance looks like yet.

Shi Jia simply adjusted the backrest to a suitable height, positioning himself in the most suitable posture for scrolling through his phone, cough cough, his personal computer.

The entrance to the Cosmic Dimensional Light Network is a rotating map of the universe. Each star emits light, some with a particularly intense glow, even shimmering red, which is quite captivating.

Shi Jia casually clicked on the star with the strongest red light.

The screen immediately redirected, displaying, "Welcome to the Aoxing Empire Light Network. Would you like to set the Aoxing Empire Light Network as a frequently visited page?"

A dialog box blocked most of the screen, and Shi Jia simply clicked the "X".

The dialog box disappeared, and a terrifying title took up most of the screen.

"Shocking! Demonic corruption has reappeared! Humanity's doom is imminent!"

"Demonic contamination?" Where have I heard that before? Shi Jia thought for a moment, "It seems that Venerable Ao Zhou once said that there were demonically contaminated beings among the Time Clan. In the end, they were suppressed by the Lord of Time and Space."

Shi Jia scrolled down and began reading the message.

It turns out that Star 677, a border planet of the Aoxing Empire, suddenly collapsed. It was later found that it was attacked by insect beasts and void beasts, and a foul aura was found in it. Some experts speculated that it may have been contaminated by demons.

Shi Jia was speechless. This title was really something!

Closing the page redirects directly to the main page of the Aoxing Empire's Light Network. This main page seems to be inspired by the entrance to the Cosmic Dimension Light Network, but it's composed of bubbles of varying sizes. The bubbles are seven-colored, and each bubble has a watermark-like mark on it.

Shi Jia carefully examined the watermark and found that the characters on it were things like: politics, military, economy, etc.

She immediately understood; it must represent different sections. She immediately pointed to the red light of "Good Dharma," and the bubble that was getting bigger and bigger. The watermark on it was "Healing!"
"The Imperial Healing Center has discovered a mental healer with a talent level of 3S!"

"Recently, our Lanxing Branch discovered a healer with a 3S talent during a talent awakening ceremony. As everyone knows, since the first talent awakener appeared in the Empire, 3S-level talents have frequently appeared, but a 3S-level healer has never appeared before. Not only are there no 3S-level healers, but even 2S and S-level healers have never appeared..."

However, the awakening of talent is accompanied by mental mania. The higher the talent, the more prone one is to mental mania. Once out of control, a powerful talent can turn into a mindless killing machine…

"And after persevering for so long, we have finally welcomed our first 3S healing talent master!"

The following are all praises of this healer, from appearance to personality, praising the healer to the skies, all of which are meaningless.

Shi Jia continued scrolling down, but didn't see a single photo. "Pure praise, without any convincing evidence, who would believe it... ugh~"

Shi Jia stared wide-eyed at the comments, each one praising the event as if she had witnessed it herself.

In fact, Shi Jia didn't know that in the Aoxing Empire, healers represented beauty, and the higher the level of the healer, the more beautiful they were.

Before the 3S healer came out, the most beautiful was an A+ level healer named Avril. Her appearance could be described as a fairy descending to earth, stunningly beautiful.

Of course, Shi Jia didn't know! At this moment, she felt that the netizens of the Aoxing Empire were probably a bit 'brain-dead'.

I closed the window again, and the page redirected to the Healer section.

The first impression Shi Jia got from this page was that it was beautiful. Birds sang and flowers bloomed, a riot of colors and fragrances. Yes, this page was a garden, where all kinds of flowers were either in full bloom, in bud, or withered...

Based on previous experience, Shi Jia guessed that these flowers were actually web pages.

Suddenly, a flower in the corner rapidly grew larger, the garden's perspective shifted quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the flower radiating red and black light appeared in the center of the frame.

Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. What's going on now?
She clicked on it casually, and the page redirected.

"Breaking News! The Star Moon Princess has been attacked by space pirates and is now out of contact!" This is a breaking news item with no other content. Close!

At that moment, a flower in the corner rapidly grew and became the center point. Shi Jia clicked on it.

Breaking News! Newly minted 3S Healer goes missing after encountering space pirates!

Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. These two news items were from the same source. She scrolled down and, sure enough, the newly promoted healer had encountered space pirates while traveling from Lanxing to the Imperial Capital Star Chart aboard the Star Moon Princess spaceship.

Currently, all passengers and crew of the Star Moon Princess are out of contact, and the tracking device on the healer has also been destroyed.

The comments below increased rapidly, filled with hostility. Judging from those comments, netizens wished they could tear the space pirates, the Imperial Healing Center, and the Imperial Army to pieces.

From these comments, Shi Jia also understood how important healers were to the Aoxing Empire, almost equivalent to weapons or humans.

Without healers, the Aoxing Empire would fall in war and be gradually devoured by its enemies.

"Please accept my condolences," Shi Jia said casually, not caring at all. On one hand, she wasn't from the Aoxing Empire, and on the other hand, that was just a healer. The Aoxing Empire had other healers, didn't it? They'd made it through so many years; why not just hang in there and wait for the next 3S healer to be born? What else could they do?

Continue to cross out.

I browsed other websites of the Aoxing Empire, and then I was disappointed to find that, at first it was fine, but then my page was flooded with content about the disappearance of the 3S Healer.

Helpless, she had no choice but to withdraw from the Aoxing Empire network.

"Host, host, the update is complete. Do you want to select a task?" The little system flew in front of her.

Shi Jia thought for a moment, and since she was bored anyway, she decided to do a mission.

The system immediately opens the task panel.

I want to become a master of empty promises.
I don't want to be treated unfairly.
[Given a second chance at life, I'm determined to take the blame.]
……

Shi Jia remained silent. "Little guy, are you sure there won't be any problems with these tasks?"

The little system blinked. "No, these were all provided by the general affairs department."

Shi Jia twitched, reached out and clicked on the "Master of Empty Promises" page. Upon reading it, oh, she had misunderstood; the person really just wanted to become a "Master of Empty Promises."

It turns out this is a magical world, probably a derivative work of some imaginative author. In this little world, artists are revered.

Artists can bring their paintings to life in reality; therefore, the daily lives of people in the small world—clothing, food, housing, transportation, commerce, trade, and even military activities—are all inseparable from paintings.

Merchants sell the objects depicted by the painters as commodities, while soldiers fight with the weapons depicted by the painters.

There is no agriculture in this world; if there is, it's merely a representation created by artists. Since the emergence of the profession of representational artist in this world, the land has ceased to produce food.

Food gathered in the wild is inedible for humans in the wild.

The client was an orphan who had no parents. After he grew up, he left the orphanage, but could not find a job and had not awakened to become a material artist. He starved to death because he had no food or water.

On his deathbed, he wished to become a materialist artist, even if he was just a pie-in-the-sky artist, he was willing to exchange his soul for it.

This connected him to the Dimensional Administration's detection system. Why the Dimensional Administration was willing to accept this mission remains unknown.

Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. "This world is quite interesting. I'll take it!"

"Alright, host, prepare to cross over to another dimension—3, 2, 1!"

"Warning! Dimensional crossing intercepted, passage re-established..."
