If you become a monster, you will succeed

As the name suggests, it is to catch fish by draining the water. It is a metaphor for doing things only for the immediate benefit without any future plans.

But suppose every time the fish is caught, the environment will be reset the next day? Just like the game is refreshed, there are new monsters every time you enter the dungeon?

According to this logic, the so-called corruption in the dream seems to make sense——

Just like cutting meat from a live donkey (Note ①), the tender and juicy meat is often tender meat, but as the number of meat cuts increases, the regeneration speed of the donkey will also slow down, and at this time the donkey can no longer provide A donkey with tender meat can only be killed.

This is probably the reason why the people in the world's dreams become numb and dull with the increase of death.

And when this kind of numbness accumulates to the point where it is difficult to provide a sufficient amount of [knowledge], the corruption mechanism will "restart" people, just like a real person who enters the infinite city will become a bad omen when he dies. The restart of the body will completely drain all [knowledge] of this consciousness body, thus transforming it into a monster, that is, a corrupted creature.

People who are completely dead will permanently lose this part of consciousness, but due to the separation between reality and dreams, the physical body in reality is still alive, so at most it will be headaches, lack of energy, neurasthenia and the like, and it will not be long before they can regain consciousness. Log in, so after logging in, it is a new donkey that can cut meat.

Although this is just Feng Xue's guess based on the existing information, considering that Ghost Hand thinks that he can kill him in his dream, this guess is probably very close to the truth.

After all, he is a ghost, the main body is in the consciousness, if it dies in a normal dream, it will be fine, but if it directly drains the consciousness body to form another ghost, it is really dead, and the suspected protein shell in reality is meaningless.

In other words, other people seem to be canceling their online accounts, regardless of how many years the account has been in operation, the real person is alive, and the big deal is to re-register.

But Feng Xue is an online life, even if there is a backup data after being logged out, the restored account is not his own.

Although this set of sustainable flesh and blood grinding disc structure sounds a bit inhumane, but from the perspective of ghost stories, this is undoubtedly a genius idea. If you insist on describing it, it is probably the feeling of a sweatshop to a capitalist, right?

"But thinking about it this way, there's no reason to lock the real technology!" Feng Xue looked out of the window, feeling a little puzzled, but when he saw the bright lights in the middle of the night, he suddenly realized——

It turns out that the purpose of locking the technology tree is to make people sleep well!

When there is no electric light and the productivity is low, human beings can only rest at sunrise and sunset (candles and lamp oil cost money). When cheap electric lights become popular, the time for human sleep is delayed.

And when the information age comes, staying up late may become the norm.

From this point of view, it seems that choosing an era of agriculture is more in line with the interests, but there is no era of electrification and industrial reform, and the productivity is limited. The limited productivity means that the population is limited, 500 million people sleep twelve hours a day, and 500 million Even elementary school students can understand the difference between 100 million people sleeping eight hours a day.

"Sure enough, I want to come out and take a look." Thinking of this, Feng Xue couldn't help expressing emotion. Although this structure looks simple, but to find a suitable ratio, this senior must have experimented a lot of worlds.

"Speaking of which, virtual reality games have a similar structure in essence, but the number of players is not as good as the number of dreams, and players cannot always guarantee vigorous vitality like the corruption refresh mechanism, but the player's consciousness can be blamed for this. Speaking of it, maybe there is a refresh mechanism in it, but as far as the overall structure is concerned, it can only be regarded as a low-end version, far less perfect than the dream system of this world."

Feng Xue took out her small notebook and recorded the inspiration about the structure of this world, and suddenly understood why Infinite City would send high-level ghost stories to other worlds where ghost stories exist.

"I co-authored and became an international student sent by an underdeveloped country to learn advanced technology?"

Feng Xue murmured inwardly, not to mention whether he is a sophomore or not as an international student, anyway, what he has learned is always his fault.

Although his moral bottom line does not allow him to do this kind of behavior of oppressing all human beings, there are still many things to learn from the structure of this world itself.

For example, no matter how desperate it is, as long as it doesn't become extinct, it will definitely pass on its experience.

Although in terms of faction, the Dream Keepers are absolutely opposed to Guai Tan, their existence is essentially helping Gu Tan save the last fire.

"If it weren't for the examples in this world, I wouldn't have thought of supporting a hidden force that I can't deal with..."

Feng Xue wrote down the words "hidden forces" and "villains" in her small notebook, and she was also planning in her mind how to build such a force.

There is a saying that "the enemy always understands you better than your friends", but for Kaidan, understanding means the continuation of the fire, and the fire that the enemy keeps in order to defeat him will become the key to his continuous recovery.

"That's why it's really interesting to talk about ghost stories. Thinking about it this way, if the boss of the classic kingly and hot-blooded romance has a core of ghost stories, then everything seems to be more reasonable!"

Feng Xue only felt that his brain was trembling, and endless inspiration was pouring out. He even had the urge to find a purer world to experiment with immediately, but considering that "Jeston Laboratory" was still waiting As a result, he still suppressed his restless heart for the time being, planning to save up this fairy tale before talking about it.

...

While Feng Xue was writing down his experience in his small notebook, in the small city where he lived, on the top of the tallest office building in the city, more than a dozen young men and women were sitting on the window sill, and they might fall if a gust of wind blows over. posture, silently meditating and practicing Qi.

Logically speaking, even if there are really those kind of seekers in this world who can die in the morning and evening, it is absolutely impossible for the immortal to pass the catastrophe in just a few days, in this place where the speed of information transmission is still very slow. Times, so many gathered in a small city.

But the Dream Keeper organization is an organization with tentacles all over the dream world after all. After the news of cultivating immortals appeared, in addition to mobilizing internal personnel, they also carried out some operations against ordinary people.

That is - strong suggestion experiment.

After all, the problems between the dream world and the real world have existed in this world for decades. In the high-tech environment of the dream, there is no shortage of research on how to bring the technology of the dream back to reality. It is the topic of self-cultivation that ignited, and there are many people who want to practice self-cultivation in reality, but suffer from being unable to order themselves in reality.

At this time, the Dream Keeper organization only needs to create a clever name to attract a large number of experimenters, and by implanting hints of "working hard to cultivate immortals in reality", even if only one percent or even a thousand percent of these hints If one of the people is recruited, it will also cause a frenzy of cultivation, and in this frenzy, there will naturally be more people, who can't help but start to test, this method of stealing heaven's secrets.

And when the setting of "Destined Death" exists, the Dream Keeper does not have any psychological burden at all for letting people practice "Stealing Secrets".

Anyway, if you can't die, the thief will be done!

Fate has bound this world for so long, can't they turn around and squeeze fate?

Note ①: Many foods are quite cruel. The stuffed duck and fatty liver goose that have been bombarded by animal protection organizations for so long are well known, and donkey meat has a long history.

We have an old saying here called "cutting off a living donkey", which is used to describe something unwilling to do something, and this is the source.

There is even a saying of "dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground". The dragon meat here refers to Zhen Ji... Ah bah, it is a hazel chicken, also known as a flying dragon, but now it is protected, and it is against the law to eat it.

As for donkey meat, in fact, if you have really eaten slaughtered donkey meat, you will find that it is actually the same. The real underground donkey meat actually refers to the practice of cutting live donkey meat, that is, cutting one by one first. Knife, but the cut meat is not eaten, but the tender meat that grows out is eaten.

Some people may have seen a donkey with many scars tied outside a donkey meat shop. This is actually to tell customers that the shop is authentic and uses live donkeys.

But in fact, most of these donkeys are kanban donkeys. They don’t eat them at all. At that time, you might be able to see it in the north of the city. After a few months, the limelight will pass, and it will return to the south of the city.

To put it bluntly, it is used by several fire shops. After all, generally no one is so bored to remember what a donkey looks like and where the wounds on the body are.
