Absolute protagonist

In the lush and green forest, the birds are silent. A small team, fully armed, walked tiptoeing through the forest, pushing aside branches from time to time to investigate.

When the leading young man just walked out of an open space, a dark crack suddenly appeared without warning, as if the holy, evil and dark chaotic light overflowed from the crack, and a strange god came!

The man's eyes immediately lit up and he stepped forward with excitement on his face.

And a transparent panel has popped up in the upper right corner of his sight, and rows of data are presented on the panel:

Monster Manual/Gourmet Menu

Name: Unnamed Ability God

Level: D level 30%

Drop: 70% probability of jam-filled waffles, 30% probability of unknown special food

Effect: After consumption, mental strength will be permanently increased by ten points.

Note: Due to absorbing the excitement from everyone and gaining growth experience, the monster's level is increasing at a rate of 1% to 3% per minute. Please complete the hunt as soon as possible.

"This is the first time I've encountered a D-level boss. Just thinking about the taste makes me drool. Everyone, hurry up!"

The heavily armed young man only glanced at the illustrated book and rushed forward with a roar. The rest of the team followed behind, cooperating with each other tacitly.

…

At the end of the fierce battle, a burst of white light suddenly erupted in front of everyone's eyes. The chaotic and inexplicable light disappeared in the blazing white light, and the system's clear kill prompt sounded in the ears.

In the flashing white light, a bunch of colorful things like candies burst out. They fled in all directions, and were quickly caught up by the excited people and successfully captured.

The moment the trophy enters the mouth, the indescribable sense of comfort that fills the soul when the mental power rises, as well as the sense of surprise brought by this unknown food, coupled with the real feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy come to everyone, for a moment everyone They couldn't help but feel satisfied, and they spread out in a row on the ground.

"This holographic game is amazing. Even if everything else is just average, I'm going to rave about this unique food experience!"

"Yes! Not only is it delicious, but it's different every time it's dropped. Even if it's the same muffin, the taste is different. To be honest, I've seen a lot in reality. This kind of thing can be felt in the soul. Food that makes you feel satisfied and can even experience various emotional changes, it’s like a fantasy work in an anime novel, it’s amazing!”

"The federal ban on entertainment was too harsh before. Suddenly, it launched a holographic game that claimed to be 100% realistic and encouraged all people to have fun. I almost thought it was a dream, and now I'm worried about waking up from it one day!"

"Right now, rumors are saying that this game is definitely not simple, and there must be some secret behind the official actions, so our whole family is involved..."

"My family is the same. Now the whole family is addicted to food and can't help themselves."

Unbeknownst to them, a young man's figure was quietly passing by them, but no one in the entire game world could notice his presence.

Chu Si looked at the player data collected in his hand and nodded with satisfaction: "Everything is as expected."

This is the so-called game world created by him in cooperation with several special awakened people.

Originally, Chu Si's purpose was to have enough experimenters to trial and error the spiritual tempering method he had just created, so that he could perfect it step by step. After that, it can be promoted in the game world as a matter of course.

But soon after, he received a special task issued by the intelligent center - to let ordinary people know the truth about the invasion of alien gods without causing panic.

Therefore, the so-called holographic game world was born.

The background of the game world completely replicates reality, with spiritual energy reviving and alien gods invading. What the players bring in is the identity of the awakened ones, and they are given various abilities that the awakened ones have.

Chu Si's only private setting in the game is to input a large amount of information about the alien gods, making them the only monster in the game. It's just that most of the abilities he set are not high in level, and the difficulty of hunting them is at least ten times lower than the real reality. In order to attract players, he also visually presented the taste of each power god in the food dropped after killing it.

——These 100% realistic flavors are the exclusive information of Chu Si who "researched" hundreds of samples. Presumably, today's Ability God has become a mobile gourmet bag in the eyes of players.

Time passes little by little.

In the inner world, this newly launched holographic food hunting game has been well received by almost everyone, and is suitable for all ages. But Chu Si’s purpose was not to promote the game from the beginning.

Therefore, after discovering that everyone was addicted to food, he began to significantly increase the difficulty of the game. The level setting of Ability God is close to reality, and the speed of absorbing players' emotions and thoughts to become stronger is greatly improved.

As a result, if current players still want to hunt the delicacies dropped by the gods as easily as before, they must practice the new free skill in the game - the mental tempering method, and learn to control their own emotional fluctuations, otherwise they can only Reduced to the experience package of the alien god, he can no longer taste delicious food.

At the beginning of the game design, Chu Si considered all aspects of the problem. This so-called holographic game world is not essentially a technological product, but is related to the abilities of several special awakened people, and is more similar to a fantasy. Those who are pulled into it are the consciousness bodies of ordinary people, and there is no problem at all in practicing the spiritual tempering method.

The mental quenching methods obtained by each person on the game panel are subtly different, and the feedback after practice is also different. Chu Si is hidden behind the scenes, collecting the practice data of countless people, and correcting the rough mental quenching method step by step to complete the correct quenching method modeling.

Of course, even if the practice is wrong, it is just a loss of some mental power, and then it will be sluggish for a long time in reality, which does not harm ordinary people.

Above the sky of the game world, several figures slowly emerged, and almost at the moment of appearance, these people directly surrounded Chu Si in the middle.

"Si Yue, you are really amazing. Now everything is going according to your idea."

"Yeah. We thought that these players would give up the game after the difficulty of the game increased significantly, but they actually gritted their teeth and practiced the difficult mental tempering method!"

"Hehe, you completely underestimated the power of foodies. The energy that our federal people burst out when they encounter delicious food is beyond imagination! So I knew from the beginning that Si Yue's method would definitely work. How about it? Accept the loss and remember to transfer the points to me."

As a group of awakeners talked and laughed, countless data about the mental tempering method were all collected to Chu Si through the system of this world. One by one, the wrong lines were eliminated. He continued to correct and improve, and soon the perfect mental tempering method was born in his hands.

From this day on, the panels of all game players were updated, and even in reality, the official began to promote the mental tempering method. Extra points for exams, promotions and salary increases, honor ratings, policy benefits... From the old to the young, almost no one's life needs are not linked to it. Under this crazy propaganda, all entertainment news avoided it.

Not to mention the various temptations from the government, this unusual attitude alone makes people feel very strange. Especially some smart people who like to imagine and fantasize feel that there must be a secret.

What happened to the federal government? Why did they suddenly encourage the whole nation to practice the spiritual tempering method that looks like a fantasy? Didn't they say that we should believe in science?

I am ignorant, right? The government has said that this spiritual tempering method is a scientific method to help us concentrate and calm down, and can better exercise our will.

I don't believe it! I always feel that the government is secretly doing something big. Do you think that various superpowers in novels will appear soon? Is the era of great strife coming? [Funny]? Thinking of this, I suddenly feel very insecure. I'd better practice the spiritual tempering method!

In any case, since the federation is promoting it so vigorously, it must be because this spiritual tempering method is very important. We just need to follow the federation's pace.

When these people made comments online, the authorities no longer stopped them as they did in the past. Instead, they let them talk nonsense and mixed in with them, passing on a bunch of true and false news. This kind of true and false news actually aroused the interest of many people in practicing the spiritual tempering method.

The spiritual tempering method is to imitate the principle of alien gods absorbing spiritual energy. Chu Si also referred to the visualization method in ancient legends. The general principle is to constantly visualize a certain image that one can accept in the consciousness - such as a big sun - and then use the image to continuously temper and suppress one's own scattered thoughts and emotions, and finally gather them inside, no longer radiate outside, and even use them to enhance one's own spiritual power.

This method does not require spiritual energy at all. Any ordinary person can do it as long as he has perseverance. After tempering, the many benefits brought by the improvement of mental power are also significant, such as enhanced memory, insomnia and headaches are cured without medicine, and logical thinking is significantly improved... After tasting the benefits, everyone will naturally take the initiative to practice, without the need for official forced intervention.

This situation makes the federal officials very satisfied. Perhaps if this trend continues, the whole nation will soon fall into a cultivation frenzy. In the end, everyone can gather their own spiritual thoughts and no longer worry about becoming an experience pack of alien gods.

However, not everything in this world can be done step by step, just like a game task. The crisis will not break out after you have prepared everything. Instead, it is more likely to come when you are caught off guard.

——Perhaps the birth of alien gods is indeed related to the ocean of human imagination. When all ordinary people know the existence of alien gods, their invasion of Lanxing has become more intense than ever before. It seems that they have gained more powerful power from the thoughts of countless people.

Mirror world.

The interlaced space gaps tore the whole world apart, and the storm that swept up almost razed the mountains and forests to the ground. The various colors of light reflected in the distance were mixed with endless chaotic whispers. Many people felt dizzy and confused just by looking at it, as if their entire soul was about to be sucked out.

Fortunately, these awakened ones have also begun to practice the spirit tempering method. At this time, the light in their consciousness is shining, and soon all distracting thoughts are suppressed, and they enter a certain absolutely rational state of mind in an instant. Temporarily get rid of the terrifying mental shock.

The frequent arrival of alien gods has brought great damage to the fragile space barrier of this world, and the number and strength of the invaders this time are unprecedented.

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded on the silver-white spires that spread across the sky, and the spire lit up like a charged light bulb, followed by countless vertical and horizontal energy sweeps, and small flying ships shuttled in the air. Under the wartime mobilization order, countless awakened figures appeared in this world.

Chu Si stepped out of his private laboratory and frowned at the sky.

There was a hint of frost in the boy's dark pupils, and the hair on his head was raised high and swayed left and right under the stimulation of countless spatial ripples.

Suddenly, Chu Si seemed to notice something, and looked behind him in an instant, and his body subconsciously took a vigilant posture. And a shadow appeared behind him.

The shadow of the mirror owner almost turned into a baby at this time. She tilted her head and looked at the boy in front of her who made the prophet look at her differently. Her cheeks bulged and she said in a baby voice: "Si Yue, come with me, someone wants to see you."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was no movement. The world around them had changed drastically. The Awakener's base camp with layers of strict guards disappeared, and was replaced by the empty interlayer space in front of them. A full-body mirror was quietly suspended here.

Chu Si looked over curiously, and the young man in the mirror smiled at him.

"Welcome, young man. I am a prophet."

The young man put his hand against the mirror, staring deeply at the seemingly harmless boy in front of him.

"In the corner of the future that I can foresee, you are the only turning point."

Boom boom boom boom!

In the mirror world, the silver-white building that serves as the base camp of the awakeners rises from the ground like a tall giant. The countless steel fortresses assembled on it roared and roared. The terrifying energy light column merged into a torrent, flooding the world.

The white torrent rushed from the ground to the sky, and the endless dim light in the sky descended at the same time. It was like the collision of oceans from opposite directions, setting off fierce waves. It seemed that countless pairs of eyes were opened above the sky, overlooking the earth through the gaps in space.

The awakeners in the steel fortress looked at each other, and they couldn't help but show amazement in their eyes.

"It's worthy of being a masterpiece that the people in the research institute spent a hundred years to complete. The power is really amazing!"

"It's a pity that the current psychic technology has just developed, and this cutting-edge product cannot be mass-produced. Otherwise, we can just use psychic weapons to kill these alien gods like in science fiction novels!"

"There is no way, who let the time be too short. Moreover, this silver-white city has only been used once since it was built. It is estimated that it will not be able to adapt to the laws of physics after a few more uses."

Some researchers also sighed while recording data while watching the battle.

Just as Chu Si guessed when he first came to the world, if there were no major defects in psychic technology, how could the awakened people need to fight against the alien gods with their own flesh and blood?

And this defect that cannot be solved for the time being is related to the special physical laws of this world.

After each battle, the physical laws of this world will change slightly. I don't know whether the special energy emitted after the death of the alien god polluted this world, or the massive explosion of psychic energy affected the surrounding space, or whether this world of spiritual revival itself is constantly upgrading. In short, the continuous battles have already caused the laws on Lanxing to change constantly.

Humans may not be able to detect such slight changes, and may even adapt naturally for unknown reasons (perhaps the favor of the world consciousness). But any slight change in the laws of physics is enough to cause deviations in the newly born psychic weapons, or even directly scrap them.

Therefore, most of the psychic weapons today have a certain durability. If there are too many battles, the deviation will become larger and larger until they are scrapped. Most of the time, if there are not many alien gods and the intensity of the battle is not high, the camp generally tends to let the awakened ones solve it.

At this time, the energy torrent in the sky was roaring, and countless weak-energy alien gods were annihilated in the torrent, and the broken fragments of the god core were scattered. But the terrifying force field from the alien gods still distorted everything visible to everyone's naked eyes, the mountains were shattered, the earth collapsed, and many awakened people who did not have time to withdraw to the base camp were crushed into blood mist in the force field, and their wandering spiritual power was absorbed by the vortex composed of dim light.

This doomsday confrontation lasted for almost half a month, until the light on the surface of the Silver City dimmed, the silver spires and flying ships guarding the surroundings also lost their brightness, and the faint light in the sky at least dissipated by half.

The awakened people hiding under the steel fortress looked at each other again and took a step forward. Below was their battlefield.

At this time, a vague mirror screen suddenly appeared on the horizon, and countless cracks spread on the mirror screen.

Crackling——

The awakened people looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes: "The mirror screen world... is broken!"

Someone began to call the name of the mirror master.

The shadow of the mirror master never appeared again.

On the top of the silver-white building, in the ripples of space, a special full-body mirror slowly appeared, and the pale and cold face of the young man appeared in the cracked mirror surface.

"Prophet!" A few top awakened people immediately recognized the identity of the other party.

"To make a long story short, the owner of the mirror is dead." The young man in the mirror nodded slightly to everyone, "My life was also forcibly extended by her ability, and I won't live for much longer."

"Everyone, this day that we have delayed for a hundred years has finally arrived."

The young man bowed slightly, his eyes swept over the top awakeners who were surrounding him, and the middle and low-level awakeners who were looking at him from a distance. His calm voice seemed to be filled with a convincing charm.

"And everything is left to you."

Crack, crack—

The cracks on the full-length mirror continued to spread. The prophet's gaze was fixed on a certain direction among the crowd, and happened to collide with the young man's gaze when he raised his eyes.

At the same time, the entire full-length mirror was completely shattered, exposing the person hidden in it.

"What a long-lost sunshine..."

The man in the mirror raised his head and stretched out a palm in front of him. The moment he came into contact with the outside light, his whole body began to melt from his fingertips and disappeared like wind and sand.

The inner world.

The sudden appearance of a holographic game sweeping across the twelve regions, as well as the spiritual tempering method promoted by the state, did not have much impact on the lives of ordinary people.

The existence of the mental tempering method only makes their brains think more clearly, their wills stronger, and it is easier for them to control themselves with reason instead of emotions. It does not transform them into extraordinary beings in science fiction movies.

They go to school, go to work, take walks, and run laps as usual, immersed in a boring and peaceful life day after day. Some people may occasionally fantasize about the legendary experiences in novels, but after a moment of fantasy, these people have to admit that reality is ordinary.

Until this day, the gray fog that originally shrouded the sky suddenly became much thinner, and a layer of transparent mirror emerged in the sky, like a huge protective shield that enveloped the entire inner world.

Crowds of people on the street stood in silence, while people indoors rushed to the door or window amidst the boiling noise.

Everyone looked up at the sky, as if falling into a dream.

I saw dense cracks on the mirror screen spreading like spider webs, and soon the entire mirror screen was shattered into pieces. The vast blue sky and the golden warm sun appeared behind the mirror screen.

In a daze, many people seemed to see the shadow of another continent suddenly emerge and crash into their own world, as if two separated dimensions were merging together again.

If someone stands in the distant sky and looks down, he will find ripples in the space above the empty South China Sea, and a familiar continent will reappear on the sea surface as the shadow disappears from reality. That was the Nanqi Continent that was said to have sunk a hundred years ago.

Just like the steel fortress and the long river of airships in science fiction movies, they are quietly suspended over this continent.

The shattering of the mirror screen and the exposure of the inner world naturally attracted the attention of the Ability God, and clusters of faint light dispersed from the sky above Nanqi Continent. More and more space cracks are spreading throughout the world. Groups of deep and inexplicable light descended into this world through the cracks, before the eyes of countless ordinary people.

This sudden change almost left everyone dumbfounded and unable to react at all.

"I'm not dreaming, am I? Is the world going to end today?"

Looking at the familiar dim light emerging from the cracks in space. Many aficionados of the food game instantly recognized each other's identity and origins.

"Isn't this the boss in that food hunting game?"

"Gudong~" As they said this, many people almost couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva. While sucking the saliva, the delicacies of countless supernatural gods they had tasted in the game emerged in their minds.

"Is this... the game coming to reality?!"

The author has something to say: I finished writing at 8:30, which is a bit early. The author found that he was really...e. He could write plots such as battles very smoothly. As for when he wanted to write some warm and touching scenes, he could write them however awkwardly. It's really a straight man style. Treatment has been given up (:3_ヽ)_
