"Hmm? Browser?" Lin Yun skimmed through the system mall and was attracted by advanced browser technology. From the description, it was several times stronger than any browser he had ever seen: low memory usage, fast connection, and extremely safe.

He thought of Chrome, Brave, Opera, and Firefox—none of them could hold a candle to this technology. Once it came out, there was a very high chance for it to become a household browser.

The price of the Advanced Browser Technology was 20,000 TP, and it was on the second Authority Level. Lin Yun needed to spend 9,000 more TP to unlock it.

After skimming through the mall for a long time, Lin Yun bought every programming language that hadn't yet appeared in this world. Whether it was Java, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, PL/SQL, or Python, he bought them all.

Lin Yun also bought all the important rudimentary technologies, such as battery, basic medicine, basic communication, maps and navigation, simple circuits, wires, and other fundamental knowledge. It could be said that the 9,000 TP had been well spent.

"Congratulations on reaching the second Authority Level, Master. Now, you can communicate with me in the real world. However, I cannot provide you with information about specific situations out there," Luna smiled sweetly. "Moreover, the time flow has also changed from 1 to 10 to 1 to 20, which means 8 hours in real life is equivalent to 160 hours here."

"Oh? That's great!" Lin Yun was happy. With Luna's help, he would be able to complete his project faster in the real world.

"Is it possible for you to connect to the internet outside?" he asked.

"I can do that at the fifth Authority Level," Luna responded gently.

"Fifth? Well, it shouldn't be difficult." Lin Yun nodded slightly. "Anyway, let's buy the Advanced Browser Technology."

"Right away," Luna said and waved her hand. Immediately, several books appeared in front of Lin Yun. 20,000 TP were also deducted.

Lin Yun quickly picked them up and began to study the technology. He was immediately shocked by the advanced concepts of the browser. As far as he could remember, these concepts were simply futuristic back in 2024 on Earth. They hadn't been implemented much anywhere.

There was a heavily integrated AI assistant, which Lin Yun couldn't use for now, as he didn't have any AI technology. However, a simple AI could be used.

Advanced predictive capabilities had also been introduced, for example, Offline Browsing with Predictive Caching and Proactive Information Retrieval.

The enhanced security and privacy were several times better than any browser Lin Yun had ever seen. The Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and blockchain-based systems were all available. The Advanced Anonymity Features had reached the highest level Lin Yun could understand. It would be extremely difficult to track user activity or identify their location once it was implemented.

The user interface designs were aligned with the minimalist style that Lin Yun loved. He was certain that once this browser went out, it would cause a stir in the internet world. Microsoft—no, Megasoft—would definitely come forward and try to buy it.

"I will name it Cloud Browser," Lin Yun said excitedly. In his past life, it was simply a dream to have his own browser. After all, it was impossible to compete with a giant like Google.

"Now I have a browser. What about an operating system?" Lin Yun's mind moved back to the system mall.

"I would like to recommend this one, Master," Luna said and waved her hand, showing an introduction to an advanced operating system.

Lin Yun took a look at it and was instantly attracted by its advanced concepts. With a glance, he could see that it was much better than any operating system on Earth. It was like a combination of all the good points of the famous operating systems.

He glanced at the price and saw it was 50,000 TP, which was impossible for him to buy at the moment.

"Well, wait until I have enough TP. The problem is that it will be difficult to advertise it. After all, everyone is comfortable with the Windows OS right now," Lin Yun let out a long breath. Unless he could produce a computer himself and force users to use his OS, it would be difficult to overtake the MS Windows OS.

"It won't be long, Master," Luna cheered him up.

"Let's study these programming languages first. I will introduce them to the world later. There's also my own website. I am going to hoard important domain names tomorrow," Lin Yun said. Since he used his name, Cloud, for his business, he must seize all important domain names in advance.

"Cloud OS. Cloud Browser. Cloud Technology. There are also Sky, Sphere, Eclipse, Nimbus, Nexus, Lunar, and more." Lin Yun noted down all the names he would use in the future.

"By the way, there should be a game engine, right?" He suddenly thought of something and took a look at the system mall again.

Soon, he saw many familiar names, such as Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, and CryEngine. There was also the most advanced technology for sale at 25,000 TP. Naturally, Lin Yun would buy the most advanced one for himself later.

"Hehe. Sorry, Lord Gaben. I will create Steam for myself soon. Well, I will name it Sphere," Lin Yun laughed to himself like a low-tier villain in a movie.

Luna looked at her master with a smile. She was genuinely happy for him and couldn't wait to see the world he would create in the near future.

Lin Yun began his learning session and drowned himself in a pile of books throughout the night.

In the following days, Lin Yun lived a peaceful life and continued his routine exercise. He also spent more than 20,000 yuan to hoard all the important domain names.

The Plant vs. Zombie game had entered the final stage. Lin Yun spent his time testing the game and tweaking the bugs. Without a doubt, this game would become incredibly popular upon its release.

Lin Yun thought of various ways of selling it and decided to use a simple method—selling CDs with activation codes. As for distribution channels, he would contact a local computer shop first. Anyway, he would visit the Capital City soon, and he could find more channels there.

"Alright. It's done." Lin Yun carefully put away a few CD packages with the Plant vs. Zombie picture on them. Today, he would go to the Capital City.
