Microcard technology!
Orange snapped awake instantly, nearly leaping off her chair!
Microcard technology is arguably the technology that Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is currently most concerned about.
Their Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is now focusing its efforts on mastering this technology for most of its Soul Guides.
Unfortunately, while the technology for transmitting information is easy, squeezing the means of transmitting information into such a small card is extremely difficult.
The smallest " Microcard " they have developed so far is the size of two bricks, and it still requires a lot of spirit power for transmission. Its transmission distance and stability are also far inferior to those of a Microcard.
Furthermore, this technology is monopolized by Shrek. Although they have many spies in the Three Great Empires, they have none in Shrek.
Obtaining Microcard technology is incredibly difficult!
But now, some people know Dao Microcard technology, and he even proactively added her as a friend?
The more Orange thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Her girlish intuition told her that there was definitely a conspiracy involved...
Moreover, she only gave her Microcard contact number to her most trusted friends and teachers, and not to anyone else.
But the other party was able to obtain her Microcard contact number, which is a very strange issue.
It feels very strange.
But Orange wanted to find out more, so she didn't hesitate and directly added the other person as a friend.
He then messaged Dao: "[Who are you? How did you know my Microcard contact number?]"
The message was sent, but there was no response for a long time.
"Why haven't you replied for so long? What do you mean? Are you deliberately keeping me hanging?" Orange frowned, feeling slightly dissatisfied.
After all, when she sends messages to others, they always reply instantly...
This stranger is so slow to reply, that's really impolite!
"No... if this guy really knows Dao..." The information on the microcard definitely doesn't belong to the Sun Moon Empire; perhaps it's a 'traitor' from the Three Great Empires?
"If that's the case, then it's understandable that the news spreads a little slowly..."
Orange was quite clever; in an instant, she analyzed a lot of information from these clues and guessed the truth pretty accurately.
With this in mind, Orange suppressed her impatience and waited quietly.
There was even some anticipation...
She was hoping the other person would actually give her a surprise.
...
...
"Goodness, we've finally made contact."
Bai Zhou waited for more than ten minutes.
I finally received a message from Ju Zi, and I was immediately excited.
After seeing the message from Ju Zi, he stroked his chin, thinking about how to persuade her next...
After all, this was a chat over a Microcard, with the two parties tens of thousands of miles apart, and video calls were not possible, so his charm couldn't play any role.
The only way to increase her affection level is by talking about topics that she's interested in.
Especially at the beginning, you must appear genuinely sincere to gradually lower the other person's guard, lest you be blocked...
To achieve this, one naturally needs to show some sincerity...
[I am the creator of Microcard. It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know who you are, Dao, but since you have access to the latest generation of Microcard that I deliberately smuggled out, you must hold a significant position in the Sun Moon Empire. I'd like to make a deal with you using the core development of Microcard. If you feel you don't have the authority, please pass this message on to the higher-ups in the Sun Moon Empire who are qualified to make a deal with me...]
[Of course, if you find this troublesome, then please block me, thank you~]
...
...
Bai Zhou sent two messages before finally relenting.
Orange is a very vigilant and intelligent person. If he directly exposes the other party's identity, the other party will definitely suspect that there is a tracking mechanism in the Microcard, or even suspect that there is a monitoring array in the Microcard that will monitor their chat history.
Many people in this world also care a lot about privacy.
Even the slightest doubt can lead to a crisis of trust.
This would be a devastating blow to the spread and sales of Microcard, something Bai Zhou was unwilling to see.
Therefore, he could only pretend not to know Dao Ju Zi's identity, pretend that he was a randomly added friend, and then use the allure of the Microcard core Mind-Cultivation Technique array to initiate a transaction with the other party.
Once a transaction takes place, it is easy to establish trust.
This will make future communication much easier.
Moreover, Bai Zhou does need some of Sun Moon Empire's technology for reference. It's a win-win situation. Sun Moon Empire may make a small profit, but Bai Zhou will definitely not lose out.
...
...
Sun Moon Empire.
When Orange saw Bai Zhou's message, she was completely dumbfounded.
Previously, the Royal Soul Guider Academy sent envoys to purchase from Shrek at a high price, but were refused. This greatly angered the higher-ups, who even considered restricting the export of Microcards and certain rare metals...
However, nothing came of it in the end.
After all, although the relationship between the two sides is not good, their trade exchanges are still very frequent.
The Three Great Empires needed various spirit tools and rare metals from their Sun Moon Empire.
Their Sun Moon Empire also needs the abundant Spirit Beast and other resources of the Three Great Empires.
Restricting trade would severely damage the economies of both sides, resulting in a lose-lose situation.
Doing this for a tiny Microcard is really not worth it.
Now, the other party actually wants to trade Microcard, which leaves her somewhat baffled.
Of course, if a deal can actually be made, that would be the best outcome, and the other party could reach a deal with her or her teacher.
Their lab group's status within the college will definitely skyrocket, which will greatly benefit their teachers' future ratings and project funding!
However, the possibility that the other party is a scammer cannot be ruled out...
So we need to figure out whether this is a genuine surprise or a scam.
...
...
A long time passed.
News of the oranges came again.
Why should I believe you? I don't even know who you are.
Upon seeing this news, Bai Zhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Orange doesn't block him on the spot, it means there's room for negotiation.
Bai Zhou didn't hesitate either; he immediately opened Microcard, hand-drew a drawing, and sent it over.
[This is part of the Microcard Core Mind-Cultivation Technique array, a brand-new communication array I designed. It boasts small size, low power consumption, and high transmission efficiency. Consider it a free gift; this is my sincere offer, and I hope you won't let me down.]
The latest generation of Microcards already has the function of sending pictures.
The main purpose is to increase the efficiency of communication. After all, sometimes text or voice cannot describe the situation, or some content cannot be sent. In this case, it is necessary to send pictures to add description.
The image sending speed is very slow, so this function is rarely used, but it is indeed useful.
Of course, these are just hand-drawn pictures.
Because there are no cameras in this world yet, and Bai Zhou hasn't figured them out either, it's impossible to fit the camera function into a microcard.
The Mind-Cultivation Technique array that Bai Zhou gave to the other party is a tiny'signal' module in the Microcard. Although it is hand-drawn and somewhat rough, any Soul Guider of level three or above can perfectly record the Mind-Cultivation Technique array based on this sketch.
This sketch should be enough to gain the other party's trust.
