Chapter 139 Chat, Friends, Map_2
Everyone glanced at the friend box on the side.
"From top to bottom, these are your respective names and statuses.
This status cannot be changed. As long as you are alive, the status will be online. If the status turns offline, it means death.
Of course, it's also possible that it was blocked by some special power.
Below are options to add or delete friends.
Add friend, as the name suggests, you can input others' names and add them as your friends.
Then you can engage in private chats or team up, and also check if they have died."
This feature is mainly an extra that Kana added; it's part of the chat system. With a little leftover energy that couldn't do anything else, Kana created this system.
After explaining, Kana directly used the add friend feature and mentioned Alyris's name.
After confirming.
Alyris nodded, "I saw it, Your Highness."
Click confirm.
In her friend list, Kana's name appeared along with his online status.
"I'll add you, quick, Abis," Raelia said directly.
The two then added each other as friends and used the private chat system on the spot.
Just as Kana said, it indeed works.
After everyone added each other as friends, Kana continued to speak.
"Now, let's move on to this next very important system."
Upon hearing Kana say this, everyone immediately refocused their thoughts and concentrated on what Kana was about to say.
The last one, naturally, is the square box in the bottom right corner.
"This, I believe you can very clearly see, is the map."
Lurik nodded, having been studying this map for a while. The map was very detailed and had a 3D perspective, showing the spatial situation of their location.
For example, they were now in the hall of Gray Furnace Castle, but the dwarfs would dig basements and such below the castle, and there were also multiple floors above them.
All of this was displayed, but the surroundings and above appeared grayish, somewhat like a fogginess, while further areas were entirely a pitch black.
In other words, the map only revealed where they were currently located.
"As you can see, aside from where we are currently, the rest of the area is black.
Apart from representing ourselves with a small blue dot, there's also a green dot that represents other Night Watchers."
Everyone was already together; the map showed them as squeezed into one area, needing to zoom in to see each individual's position.
"Here comes the important part." Kana raised a finger and emphasized.
"First, these black, fog-like areas, as well as those black places.
These represent the places we have not been; once we visit them, they will appear on the map like where we are now."
After speaking, Kana waved his hand, leading everyone outside, and they watched the map. As Kana said, as they walked, the surrounding area appeared as if the dark fog was being blown away.
The room they had occupied retained its appearance, not covered by the gray fog.
The visible area on the map expanded.
Interestingly, besides them, there were also two white points outside.
That was the dwarf guards outside the door, but the problem was that they were also Night Watchers, yet they were not green, but white.
And once everyone stepped inside, the two white dots outside disappeared.
"I know you have questions, and I will answer them one by one."
Then Kana looked at everyone.
Lurik was the first to ask, "So from now on, only the places we've been will show on the map.
The more places we've been, the larger and more detailed the map becomes, right?"
Kana nodded but corrected him, "When you say 'we've been,' you mean you went alone, right?"
Lurik nodded, not immediately understanding what was wrong with his words.
"It's different from what you're thinking. All the green dots, which are Night Watchers with the new Blessing, will reveal places they visit on the map.
It's not necessary for you personally to visit an area for the map of that area to be revealed."
As Kana explained this, Lurik and everyone suddenly understood.
Night Watchers within the [Local Network] share their maps with each other.
"For example, like the two white dots outside just now. I believe you know they represented the two Night Watcher dwarf guards outside?"
Everyone nodded; this was something they could understand.
"But when the last person came in, the dots disappeared, understood?
Individuals deemed as intelligent life are shown on the map where they are, and this location is showcased when a Night Watcher sees them, or senses them with special abilities.
If no Night Watcher can see or sense them, then the person's dot won't appear on the map."
The map's identification and display of life are based on every Night Watcher's awareness at the moment.
This means a certain level of location sharing, including what other Night Watchers see.
Of course, referring to Night Watchers of their kind, those who've undergone the new Blessing and joined the [Local Network].
