Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

The world including multi-dimensional space-time (parallel reality), we tentatively call it the "overall universe".

Since the last "RESET" of the entire universe, most of the parallel realities have returned to the past after tens of thousands of years of evolution, and are in a similar situation to our world. The levels of development are all the same. In other words, these parallel realities are like copies of each other.

Therefore, as long as we take our world as a sample, the feasible solutions formulated can be adapted to more than 90% of parallel realities.

"The question is, how can the population of our world participate in the planning of HELLO NEW WORLD?"

On the night of January 16, 2019, the conference room of the Nuclear Research Headquarters.

Feng Chenghuan stood side by side with me in front of the window overlooking Rongtan Street, thinking about how to implement the second step of the battle plan.

"The goal is to transfer all human beings from the current world to the new world in my dream. Then let's build an emotional bridge in the subconscious of all human beings that can connect to my dream!"

The premise of the emotional bridge is a sense of identity, imagination + recognition = sense of identity. Therefore, we must control the world's imagination and recognition at the same time in order to establish such a world gate.

"There is nothing but stories that can control the imagination and recognition of the world, and create a global collective identity, right?"

From ancient times to the present, stories have always possessed incredible magic power for the world. No matter what form is used as the carrier of the story, once it touches people's hearts, it can always leave a deep impression on the spiritual world of the world, and make people who come into contact with the story fall into a collective fantasy continent.

This continent may not exist in reality, but it must exist in their dreams.

Using stories, you can create a shared emotional bridge. The premise is that we need to create a story that can touch people's hearts, and we need to choose a carrier that can attract everyone to this story in less than three months.

I clenched my right hand on my chest, as if I held the last key in my hand. Staring at the night sky that was gradually darkening, I unhurriedly said the only answer I found.

"Let's implant the story of the dream world into the subconscious of the overall universe in the name of releasing a fully immersive VR game."

If you want to ask the story carrier that can attract the most global attention in the world today, it is only the game. Even for games that seem to have nothing to do with the story, those free sandbox games, if exposed to them for a long time, can allow players to be subtly affected by the things in the game, and unwittingly create bizarre stories in their minds.

Or urban legends, or fan creations...the stories are born in all kinds of strange forms. But in any case, a different but the same story can be formed in the end, implanted in the subconscious of the player.

Since Xia Qianyan transforms the creator’s fictional fantasy continent into a deep spiritual world through the story carriers such as games and novels in the world she lives in, we can theoretically create touching stories in a similar way , in the advanced interactive viewing form of the game, it arouses the resonance of the players, and forms an emotional bridge leading to my dream from the subconscious.

However, for Minecraft to be a new world for the world to take refuge in, it has to be indistinguishable from reality. For this reason, the fantasy continent between the dreamlands is the transfer station for players to go to my dreamland.

"The game is responsible for effectively inducing the player, implanting the story of the cracks in the dream into the player's subconscious mind, and constructing a world door leading to the cracks in the dream. After that, once the player falls asleep, they will naturally follow the principle of sharing the same bed and sharing dreams. Follow the emotional bridge to the transfer station of the dream crevice. Later, the player affects the player and the people around him. Even babies who don't play games will be affected by this atmosphere. The dream crevice has become a culture rooted in the subconscious. For a long time People will be invited to the cracks in the dream, and in the end I will dominate the world where the story begins, and force them to be brought to my dream to complete the task of emigrating to the new world.”

I turned my gaze back into the conference room. Feng Chenghuan looked at me in disbelief, raised his eyebrows as if they were about to jump out, and laughed dryly out of extreme surprise.

"This is really, a crazy plan."

"After all, we have to be crazier than this absurd world to be able to defeat our fate that has been repeated 1,590 times."

First of all, let the news that "the core research association will release such an epoch-making game" be released on Rong Tan Street, the common point of all world layers, and let this news spread to 90% of the parallel worlds.

[[Today's Hot Discussion] # Nuclear Research Announces Fully Immersive VR # Virtual reality technology is about to enter the era of fully immersive, sword art online or become a reality? 】

@Forum official assistant 2019/01/31

"Recently, virtual reality technology has once again brought an epoch-making influence to games, triggering global heated discussions. At yesterday's ET Game Show, the Core Research Association announced that it will cooperate with the video game giant Nintendo to release a fully immersive VR game for the first time. The technology of online games vows to break the deadlock in the development of virtual reality games today.

It is reported that the tentative title of the game is "Dream Ruler DOMINATORS' CLOCK", which is positioned as a second life parallel to reality. Players will enter this imaginary continent called the gap between dreams as the creator, and start imaginative PVP peak duels. There will be extended works about the game in the future. What do you think about this? "

Voting: not interested/interested but cash-strapped, wait for the follow-up news and wait and see 1242000 VS 9206042 I blew it! I am continuing to pay attention to the news and get ready to start!

1L: I always like Hui

"(Funny) Eating melons in the front row to witness history, I personally hold a wait-and-see attitude."

12L: like the quiet moonlight

"Last night, my space was directly swiped by this news, okay? Suddenly a group of game geeks on the list were bubbling and carnival, and many cloud players came out to join in the fun. The big night was like Chinese New Year (laughing and crying). But it seems I don’t quite understand many people wishing for stand-alone games, but online games can be used to socialize with people, isn’t VR GAME more interesting?”

50L: dream way

"Boycott VR online games (angry)! This is definitely a conspiracy to make everyone addicted to virtual reality!"

100L: It's mustard

"No, what's going on? I heard on the Internet that Soli and Microsoft are also involved in the research and development of this project? These three companies can cooperate in their lifetime. Is this the end of the world? I must have traveled to the singularity in the wrong time and space (bye )."

January 31, 2019. In the lounge of the Nuclear Research Headquarters.

Lin Yu stared at the screen of the laptop, scrolling the scroll wheel of the mouse from time to time. I sat opposite him and swiped the screen of my mobile phone, observing the current trend of public opinion.

Suddenly, Lin Yu gasped and leaned back. He hurriedly woke up the tea cat beside him who was resting with his eyes closed, causing the tea cat to give a very unpleasant and coquettish cry.

"It's a big problem." Lin Yushu raised his index finger and pressed his fingertips against the comments on the 100th floor above the screen, "Look at this man, why is he talking about the end of the world in a crooked way?"

It seemed that Lin Yu happened to be blocking the words, so the tea cat grabbed Lin Yu's finger and moved it to another place in displeasure, and moved it to the screen with sleepy eyes. Lin Yu operated the mouse and used the cursor to lock on the four characters "end of the world". The tea cat raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. When she took a closer look, she couldn't help frowning her delicate eyebrows.

"Huh?"

"...Is it just a joke?"

At this time, I happened to swipe the same reply on my phone, and I was talking to Lin Yu and Chamao across the desk. Although it was an unintentional joke that accidentally told the truth, as a concealer, I still couldn't help being nervous. Still, I can't help but marvel at the trend of today's trending posts refreshing hundreds of comments every few seconds.

"The heat of the discussion was even more exaggerated than I imagined."

"This is a good thing!" Lin Yu shrugged, recovered from the tension just now, and said to me, "Aren't we going to use public opinion to spread this information to the whole world?"

"Yeah, I just didn't expect that this incredible plan... could really set off a frenzy of participation by the whole people in this world of entertainment to death."

After speaking, Lin Yu and I fell silent. After a while, probably we all felt the irony and smiled wryly at each other. But Tea Mao seemed to think of something she cared about. Without a word, she sat on Lin Yu's lap, snatched Lin Yu's mouse, and scrolled to the reply in front of the hot discussion post. Lin Yu instinctively hugged Tea Mao's waist to prevent her from falling.

"Hey... Come and see. Do you think the reply on the 50th floor is a bit strange?"

These words made me walk to Lin Yu's computer, and the reply was pulled to the center of the screen by the tea cat. The bright word "conspiracy" made my chest palpitate, and I always felt that the other party's words meant something . Tea Mao read along and found that there were many replies with similar statements, which really seemed to be done deliberately by a gang.

"Sure enough, it's tricky. Do you think this is the navy in the name of the Virgin?"

Lin Yu said that she was looking at the tea cat's beautiful side face from behind, and the tea cat's gaze at the screen was no longer so lazy. She suddenly bit her lower lip and looked back at Lin Yu.

"Su Ruoyang, Chamao and I went upstairs to investigate the origin of these accounts. If anyone comes to us later, tell us that we have something to do."

After speaking, the two stood up one after another, and left the meeting room without even saying goodbye to me. Judging from their appearance, they are obviously ready to investigate this matter.

Not to mention the name of the Virgin Mary. Now the various branches of the Core Research Association are working overtime on this game, whether it is publicity, research and development, or cooperation, making this temporarily decided project seem to the public to have been prepared for several years. The nuclear research headquarters is improving the equipment for this game. In the final analysis, it is actually making preparations for building an emotional bridge to the new world.

It is said that the device uses the technology of the "dream image recording system" to monitor the state of consciousness of the person connected to the device and transmit the monitoring information back to the nuclear research headquarters in real time. From this, we can confirm the progress of the construction of the emotional bridge based on this in the future.

At the same time, what kind of things is the name of the Virgin planning under the water?

We can't clarify the movement of the name of the Virgin. Only Su Erin provided slight clues, but she couldn't tell her real situation. So there is really no progress on the name of the Virgin.

Even so, I can only confirm to Su Erin whether there is any abnormality on her side, and judge the action of the name of the Virgin based on this.

Just as she was thinking about going to the dreamland to meet Su Huilin, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open. I hurriedly looked towards the door, only to see Xue Xueer stuck his head into the room and looked at me.

"That...Professor Huan asked you and Lin Yu to meet him in the laboratory. Where is Lin Yuren?"

In the corridor leading to the elevator, Xue Xueer and I walked in tandem on the right side of the corridor, giving way to the constant traffic of experimenters. The carts passing by were filled with all kinds of machine parts, and some people walked quickly through the corridors holding paper files or tablet electronic devices. At this time, the outdoor Rongtan Street is full of game nerds following the news from the media and the crowded and noisy voices of reporters, who are about to interview the person in charge of nuclear research.

"Speaking of...how is your new world progressing?"

When walking through the corner of the corridor, Xue Xueer suddenly slowed down to get closer to me, turned her head and asked me in a low voice.

The new world refers to my dream world.

For the past month, Su Huilin has been in charge of the dream stability experiment, testing whether my dreams can replace the reality we live in and become the real real world.

A long time ago, William said that every ruler clock in the gap between the dreams is connected to the core of the parallel reality. They are like shackles to maintain the stability of the operation of reality, and at the same time prevent it from developing to an unpredictable level and even destroying it. Therefore, while testing the stability of the world, we are working on restarting the Dominator Clock and connecting to the core of the new world.

Originally, this was a time-consuming and extremely complicated project, but now we can ensure that it is completed within two months.

"As for the reason... Should I say thank you to the intruder half a year ago?"

At the beginning, Dream Pirates aimed to establish a new world that was no different from reality, and ordered me and the residents of Violet Sea to accurately copy the landmark buildings of each parallel world in reality to the new world, basically completing the blueprint of the new world. Therefore, these landmarks of parallel realities are logically the places where we place the core, and connect with the rebooted Dominator clock.

In addition, those children of the Violet Sea, as the first batch of residents of the new world, are responsible for giving us feedback on whether there are problems in the daily living situation. The Dark Knight and Lightspeed Star also helped us a lot in this project, using the barrier of the Dark Knight to isolate parallel worlds that do not interfere with each other, and Lightspeed Star travels through these isolated worlds to convey information.

During the rest time after work every day, Su Erin would try to control the Annihilation Flower in her body in the now uninhabited Violet Sea. Sometimes, however, forces that got out of hand often blasted nearby towns into rubble. In order to ensure my safety, under normal circumstances, Su Eirin does not allow me to get close to the area within a kilometer of her during this time, but I will secretly hide in the woods by the sea, admiring her handsome figure when she performs physical skills.

Although I have seen the destructive power of the Flower of Annihilation, I feel inexplicably at ease when I see Su Huilin skillfully using this power from a distance.

day to day. Overall, the establishment of the new world went relatively smoothly. But the question that bothers me is how the world will live in after we have completed all the testing projects. By precisely, I mean how all of humanity will start a new life after they move into this new world.

Just like Chen Xuefang's unintentional sigh not long ago——

[Reality is like a dream. After moving to the new world, will I remember the past that happened here, or will I forget all the memories and start over? 】

——I don’t know whether our new world should retain the memory of the current world and continue the current life; or clear all traces and develop our new history in a world without the Creator and outside interference.

Our enemy is unnatural fate. The world we live in so far is a deformed product born of unnatural fate, and it has been dominated by deliberate fate everywhere and developed all the way. Countless thoughts float in the sea of ​​the dead between dreams, and among them are countless people who died in unnatural fates.

If you choose the latter, you can save these souls who died unjustly.

[If you can win the domination war, please bring light to my world by the way. 】

The voice in my memory looped back and forth, and I couldn't help but cling to the heartbeat in my chest.

What I have never had the chance to tell Elus is that I like your world very much. So, I will not let your world go to destruction. But something as important as bringing light should be done by yourself.

I secretly made up my mind, but Xue Xueer suddenly pulled me back from my contemplation to reality.

"By the way~ I saw the information you posted last night! It has been trending all morning on the Internet!"

"Ah... Really? I hope the heat can be maintained."

"Don't worry, it will definitely continue to be popular! Speaking of which, you named the game "Dream Ruler", and the setting in the game is very similar to the war of domination... Did you deliberately include private goods?"

"It's not... because we want to implant the concept of the gap between dreams into the players, so we need to have such a setting to arouse their interest."

Of course, the reason is not only that, maybe there is indeed our selfishness.

Not long ago, Chen Yong and I met at the Core Research Association. We opened our hearts to each other and talked a lot about the past. In fact, we all understand that the death of Elus cannot be regarded as Chen Yong's fault, but he insisted on feeling guilty about it, and I also once blamed him for my emotions, and the mutual friction caused a lot of unhappiness. It wasn't until after talking about it that we realized that we had no reason to be so embarrassing.

That's right, let's settle our suspicions.

Chen Yong's visit to the nuclear research headquarters this time was invited by the nuclear research institute. Because Chen Yong is a relatively well-known writer in the light novel industry, Heyan specially invited him and several creators who have also been in contact with Domination War to discuss the plot trend of the game and the setting of individual world views. Now the game embodies the domination war. The concept is the idea proposed by Chen Yong at the meeting.

"We in this room have all experienced the game played in the hands of the gods. Now, as if by destiny, we have come here to plan our own game against the gods who played with us. Why not write What about our experience?"

Chen Yong glanced at every creator who survived the war of domination, mustering up the courage of his life to speak the truth hidden in his heart.

"Since we want to create touching stories, why don't we dedicate our true feelings and use our personal experience to launch the most perfect counterattack against this cruel and absurd world?"

Turning the game of entertaining the gods into a story about our counterattack against the gods, did the creators intentionally carry private goods, or did they unintentionally reveal their true feelings?

This time, I am willing to believe that this is the fate that no one can violate, and the fate of Feng Shui turns.

"Speaking of which, there are still many areas in the world where games are not popular, right?"

Before I knew it, Xue Xueer and I walked to the elevator at the end. The door slowly opens into the hallway scenery, and floor marking numbers flash on the white wall to the right. Xue Xueer stared at the gradually descending figures, holding her right arm with her left hand.

"According to the research I participated in before, quite a few people even in cities have no interest in the game itself. Many people come into contact with large-scale games through video, live broadcast and other means. There are even a very small number of people who have never No contact with games. Even if the game has a high influence, even if the heat is fermented to a high level, it will not be able to affect everyone in this world, right?"

The limitations of video games, Feng Chenghuan discussed this with me at the beginning of the plan. To this, my answer is as follows.

"Then use live webcast and video media to influence those people, publish novels, comics, and animations, and finally let the movie be announced that it is in production to connect with different audiences. My purpose is to implant the concept of the gap between dreams into the world. Subconscious, so I don’t care if people in the world play the game themselves, but whether they are influenced by the story in the game to build a collective emotional bridge.”

What we want to create is a culture that covers the whole world. Use the culture of creation to build a world door leading to the cracks in dreams.

Xue Xueer suddenly fell into silence, parting his lips and closing his lips before speaking. She lowered her gaze, and her single pony tail moved rhythmically with her movements.

"I heard that Chen Yong, who is in charge of the light novel extended from the game, has almost finished the first volume, right?"

"Well, it will be released soon."

"Leaving aside the novels for the time being, time-consuming and labor-intensive works such as movies and animations, can't they be completed in less than three months?"

"Of course I know. The reason why we do this knowingly is because we don't need to actually finish the movie or animation. We just need to use the momentum of the announcement to hit the popularity of "Dream Ruler". Through events, through previews, through Reuters, through All kinds of people who claim to be insiders are spreading news to stir up the popularity of the game. The purpose is to let more than 90% of the world in the parallel world know the concept of the gap in the dream.”

After that, we will add fuel to the flames, fabricate all kinds of stories like fan creators, and spread them to every corner, including a few areas, until non-game players engrave the cracks of dreams in their subconscious minds.

In the early morning of February 5, 2019, Vinh Tam Street.

Many admiring people gathered at the narrow door of the bookstore. Many of them are watching the live broadcast of the official "Dream Ruler" trial event. The officially invited players have a halftime break after a long PK. The first volume of "Dream Ruler" in a prominent position is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye until it is sold out.

At the same time, at the nuclear research headquarters, Feng Chenghuan led me into the nuclear research experimental center. He casually picked up two test tubes on the medicine rack, which contained medicines of different colors.

"Through the 302 experimental projects on dreams and the long-term investigation of extreme sleep disorders, we have developed Yongdong - a drug that allows users to immerse themselves in a state of sleep and cannot wake up spontaneously." Feng Chenghuan picked up one of them A stick of ice blue potion was placed in the palm of the hand, as if looking at a work of art, and asked me after a long time, "This is the drug injected to you during the pilot operation of the Dream Prison, what do you think of the effect?"

This made me speechless for a while, is Feng Chenghuan asking for my opinion as a victim? I watched Feng Chenghuan give him a confirming look, but he didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.

"Any questions?"

"Forehead……"

Regarding Feng Chenghuan’s behavior of asking the victim “How do you think the power of the weapon I wounded?”, I can only say that his emotional nerve center may be as indifferent as his anesthetized facial nerve. situation.

"The effect of the medicine is very strong...Thank you."

"That's good."

Feng Chenghuan didn't notice the deep meaning in my tone at all, showing a trademark ferocious smile. He raised his hand to enter his fingerprints on the machine next to the medicine shelf, and took away Yongdong and another dose of unknown medicine.

We passed the operation table of the experimental center, and the equipment that popped up automatically displayed real-time monitoring information from the laboratory next door.
