Here Comes the Immortal Swordsman Chapter 53

Chapter 53 New Functions of the Mobile Phone

It was consuming his Mystery Energy.

It was not a difficult decision for Lin Beichen to use up 1G of data on the app, but it had indeed exhausted him.

At the same time, the phone's screen turned bright white and a dark green progress bar appeared.

All Lin Beichen could do next was wait.

Three hours later…

The system upgrade was finally completed.

“Congratulations! The system upgrade has been completed. The newly added functions are: Intelligent Voice-activated Assistant, and two chances of timed random drawing from apps in the App Store.”

A big prompt box appeared on the phone's home screen.

“Intelligent Voice-activated Assistant?”

Lin Beichen knew what that was.

Such as Apple's SIRI, Huawei's Little E, OPPO's Little Ou, and so on.

The Intelligent Voice-activated Assistant could free up the user's hands under specific conditions, so it was a very practical function.

“But what was the name of this unnamed phone's voice-activated assistant?”

“Hi, SIRI?”

There was no answer.

“Little E, Little E?”

No answer, either.

“Little Ou, Little Ou?”

No answer, either.

“Uh… Little Ji, Little Ji?”

“Ding-dong! Master, may I help you?”

A sweet simulated female voice came from the phone.

“Huh?

“Turns out that it's called Little Ji.

“Why so simple?

“Hahaha!”

Lin Beichen said to himself in his heart.

“Explain to me the function of what is called ‘timed random drawing from apps in the App Store',” said Lin Beichen.

“Okay, please open the mobile phone App Store,” Little Ji replied.

“Help me open it,” said Lin Beichen.

“Yes, Master.”

The App store was displayed on the phone screen, then the App store opened.

There were some existing applications, such as Basic Close Triple Sword Strikes and Intermediate Mystery Energy Condensing Skill, and there was also an unread message.

He clicked to read the message.

“You have two chances of drawing one unknown application from apps in the App Store for free. Would you like to use them now?”

The message content was displayed as above.

Lin Beichen touched his chin, thinking seriously about it.

“Unknown applications?”

That was to say, unlike the existing apps that were derived from the videos he took, they should be applications that were built in the phone and characterized by other functions.

“What could they be?”

He chose—

“Start the draw now.”

Then he saw that there was an image of a loading circle in the App Store.

Lin Beichen took a closer look, and found it likely to be a kind of roulette wheel used for lottery draws. The roulette wheel was spinning madly.

Soon after—

“Ding!”

“Congratulations to you for getting the Baidu Map after using an opportunity.”

“Ding!”

“Congratulations to you for getting the Baidu Netdisk after using an opportunity.”

Two prompt boxes popped up, lasted for five seconds, and then disappeared.

Then in the application store, there was really a new app.

Familiar icon.

Familiar color.

Familiar design.

Familiar look.

It was the same Baidu Map that Lin Beichen had used countless times on Earth.

And Baidu Netdisk.

“They…”

Lin Beichen's eyes lit up.

He first stared at the Baidu Map.

He was excited.

Because… what was the most commonly used function of the Baidu Map?

Of course, its navigation function.

“Does this mean that it's possible to use the navigation function of the Baidu Map to find the way back to Earth?”

He wanted to give it a try.

He clicked to download it.

It cost him a total of 1G of data to download the Baidu Map to the phone.

Once again, a large amount of his Mystery Energy was extracted, leading to Lin Beichen's pale face.

He was tired out.

He clicked the icon to open the Baidu Map App.

The familiar interface was unfolded.

A large map of the geographical environment around the camp appeared on the main screen of the phone.

The location right in the center was the tent where Li Mu was staying now.

Then the surrounding squares, camp stone houses, city walls, the main entrance, the wilderness outside, etc., all appeared on the map, with the interface identical to that of the Baidu Map that was used on Earth.

With his hands shivering, Lin Beichen entered a word in the top of the address search bar—

“Earth.”

Then he clicked “Search”.

The loading interface appeared and lasted for a long time.

Lin Beichen felt that Mystery Energy in his body was being extracted by his mobile phone.

Obviously, the process of loading the objective route also required Mystery Energy.

He was used to it.

One full minute…

Lin Beichen was looking forward to the result. This feeling was like what he had felt in high school when he was awaiting the reply of the girl he loved for the first time after he had expressed his love to her. His heart was beating fast and seemed to be about to jump out of his throat.

At last—

“Ding!”

A prompt box popped up on the home screen—

“The program is not responding. Choose to stop loading immediately?”

Lin Beichen jumped up directly.

“Huh?”

“What's with the f**king app?

“Is it fake?

“It actually crashed on the first search.

“What a disappointing and awful app!

“Or is it because it's way too far away and has exceeded the upper limit of the mobile phone's operational capacity?”

Lin Beichen clicked on—

“Stop immediately”.

The Baidu Map App crashed immediately.

Then, he started the app again.

This time, he casually entered an address in Cloudy Dream City.

Three alternative routes were displayed.

It would take him 10 minutes to fly there at least.

“No, no!”

Lin Beichen directly ignored the route.

He had been yet unable to fly in the sky.

Second, it would take an hour and a half to get there by carriage.

Finally, it would take up to seven hours to get there on foot.

The different streets and routes provided by the app had their own advantages and disadvantages.

“That is to say, even if the target is not Earth, this version of Baidu Map is still very useful.”

Lin Beichen turned off the app.

Because it was different from the existing apps for cultivation.

As long as the Baidu Map was turned on, it would consume the data and then extract the Mystery Energy in Lin Beichen's body. Even though the consumption was not too much every time, a lot of Mystery Energy would be extracted in the long run.

Other functions of the Baidu Map were yet to be developed.

Then Lin Beichen returned to the App Store again.

His eyes then fell on the Baidu Netdisk App.

On Earth, the function of the Baidu Netdisk was to store files and provide cloud storage services.

But what were the functions of this version of the app?

Without hesitation, he spent 1G of data on downloading the Baidu Netdisk.

After installation, the app icon appeared on the phone's home screen.

He clicked to open it.

Compared with the network disk on Earth, there was no difference.

The approximate capacity was 10G of data.

“This capacity is small. I remember that on Earth, when one first downloaded and become a registered user of the Baidu Netdisk, the person would have a chance to get the capacity of 2T of data.”

Lin Beichen stared at the phone screen, wondering about the functions of this app.

The Baidu Map was for navigation.

The Baidu Netdisk was naturally for file storage.

But in this world, no electronic files needed to be stored on mobile phones.

Or…

A bold idea suddenly appeared in Lin Beichen's mind.

He pointed his mobile phone at the Sword of Morals and smiled happily. He said very arrogantly and foolishly, “Hey, silly sword, I'll call your name. Will you agree?”

With a flash of light, the Sword of Morals disappeared.
