Hearing Feng Xue ask this question, Lao Li's face suddenly showed an expression of "You asked a good question."
Although it seems a bit strange to say it, Lao Li has indeed been waiting for this problem for a long time.
Lao Li has invested in many people over the years. Feng Xue is the best both in terms of character and ability. The speed at which he has become a ghost story is unprecedented. Faced with such a potential stock, a veteran like Lao Li will of course think Ways to invest.
But there are some questions you can't take the initiative to ask, as that will make the originally valuable information worthless, and it will also make the other party feel stupid.
However, for ghost stories, it is inevitable to accidentally add a useless entry. Lao Li originally wanted to wait for Feng Xue to come to him when he was tricked, and then tell him the remedy plan, but he did not Thinking that the other party had asked the question at this time, he answered directly:
"It's actually quite simple to say, just leave it alone and ignore it."
"???" Feng Xue raised her brows slightly with an expression of "are you kidding me?"
Seeing this, Lao Li spread his hands and explained:
"Didn't I tell you before when we were talking about digestion? Digestion is to create your own folder of ghost stories and put all the ghost stories you own into it..."
"I have to remind you that this metaphor was made by me." Feng Xue looked at Lao Li with a subtle expression, but how could Lao Li's face be exposed so easily?
He just raised the corners of his mouth, ignored Feng Xue's words, and continued:
"This process of digestion will turn you into the 'prototype' or 'original ghost story' of the digested ghost story. But on the other hand, as long as you don't put the fire of ghost stories into this folder, you will naturally not become one." Its 'prototype', in this way, as long as you leave it alone and wait for the legend to cool down, or wait for you to die and be resurrected, it will disappear automatically."
Listening to Lao Li's explanation, the doubts on Feng Xue's face became more and more intense——
"In that case, why doesn't Hyakumonogatari start another ghost story and 'wash out' the entries that were originally indigestible?"
"Because this requires the intensity of the strange fire."
Lao Li had an expression like "I knew you would ask this" and explained:
"Whether it's nothing or ghost talk, we are essentially information creatures after all, and resurrection is actually achieved through the immortality of information. It's still the same problem when we discussed digestion. If you have a lot of ghost talk fire, the resurrection What will the time be like?”
"..." Feng Xue was a little silent for a while. If digesting and condensing his own flames is to unify the fire of ghost stories under the ghost story of "self", then what will happen if there is no unification?
"Will many ancestral monsters be resurrected according to different monster fires?"
Feng Xue answered tentatively, and Lao Li nodded without surprise:
"That's the truth. Didn't I tell you before? After digesting the fire of Kaidan, resurrection is a process of 'death - resurrection of Kaidan - resurrection in the body of Kaitan'. And in the large number of Kaidan that appear, you In which body do you think you will be revived?"
"Ah this!" Feng Xue suddenly understood, and Lao Li also nodded and said:
"That's right, it's the ancestral ghost story that was revived first, and this ghost story must be the strongest, most famous, and most active one among the entries you have.
"What I said, don't worry about it, is also based on this principle. At the same time as resurrecting, the undigested kaidan will not be resurrected in other kaidan bodies along with your consciousness, but will enter the natural process and become an independent wild kaidan. , but the only prerequisite is that at least one of the ghost stories you digest has a faster recovery than it.
"Unfortunately, however, the story of Hyakumonogatari, which is equivalent to being embedded in the bottom of a country's culture, is resurrected almost the fastest among all types of ghost stories, not to mention that there is a person in that world who says 'everything can become a god' Group Kaidan provides resurrection acceleration, and in order to maintain suppression, Hyakumonogatari has developed "Midsummer Night Festival", "Hyakumonogatari Ritual" and other gameplay methods. Almost no Kaidan can be revived before Hyakumonogatari.
"In other words, unless the people of Hyakumonogatari can create a super national-level ghost story of the same level as Hyakumonogatari in another world and embed it into the culture, it is impossible to use this method to abandon the identity of Hyakumonogatari."
When Lao Li said this, his face clearly showed some gloating expression, and Feng Xue also nodded secretly after hearing this.
Seeing the look of understanding on Feng Xue's face, Lao Li continued:
"In fact, it's not just those strange entries that appear out of thin air, but also some entries with a relatively short shelf life that are best not to be digested."
"Shelf life?" Feng Xue said directly with the mentality of "You have to say it anyway, so I won't think too much about it."
Lao Li did not see what Feng Xue was thinking and responded smoothly:
"Well, it refers to those entries that do not maintain their value and are easy to become outdated. For example, my friend's bastard stealing a dog is a weird story that is easy to become outdated. Although it can also provide powers such as plunder, concealment, and special attacks on dogs, But it’s better not to digest it.”
"Because the more ghost stories there are, the easier it is to encounter targeted special attacks?"
Feng Xue asked, but Lao Li shook his head:
"There are reasons for this, but it only accounts for a small part. In the final analysis, weaknesses can be made up for. Take the vampire hunter you defeated. Conventional vampires include the sun, cross, holy water, sacred power, etc. Weakness, but he only needs to create a strange story that can gain positive blessings from the sun, cross, and divine power to offset this disadvantage."
"..." Thinking of the vampire's big breasts, Feng Xue couldn't help but think of the funny narration, and she couldn't help but grin. Seeing this, Lao Li thought he didn't understand, so he explained in a serious tone:
"It has been almost two years since you became a Kaitan, and you should already know something about the enhancement of Kaidan entries. If we want to approach the upper limit of Kaidan entries, we must continue to use [knowledge] to feed it, and the digested words The bars will be "integrated", which means that after digestion, you can't favor one over the other, but feed them together.
"This means that the more entries you have, the more [knowledge] you need to consume for feeding. If you digest a forgotten ghost story, in a sense, it is equivalent to lowering your upper limit."
"I understand, there are experience penalties for part-time jobs, right?" Feng Xue nodded clearly, but Lao Li rolled his eyes at him and said:
"It's not just a punishment, it's a level lock. To put it simply, before you feed all the entries to level 2, the level limit of the entries will be stuck at level 2. Do you understand?"
Ghost stories exist independently in every world. For example, vampires exist in the real world, but they may not exist in the martial arts world. If you create vampire legends in the martial arts world, then in this world, vampire ghost stories will be your original work, and there will be no awakening of the ancestors. Weird story.
And when you come to a world where vampire legends originally existed, your abilities can still be used, but your abilities are passed on from the martial arts world, not from this world. If you continue to play in this world where vampire legends exist, Vampire, then it is possible to awaken the ancestor's ghost stories.
For example, [knowledge] is like money, and strange stories are like "projects".
To create a ghost story is to create a "project", and your act of promoting a ghost story is equivalent to soliciting donations or raising funds. Those who recognize you are equivalent to transferring money into your account. When the funds in the account exceed a certain limit, you become a ghost.
In a world where there are already related legends, it means that there is such a "project" in the first place, and there is a lot of money in the account of this project, but the project owner has lost contact for a long time.
If you play the role of this weird story, it is equivalent to borrowing the name of the project to operate, or even pretending to be the project owner and misappropriating the money in the account. Although this will allow you to get a large amount of start-up capital and the original relationship network of the project, it also requires Face the risk of being held legally accountable by the original owner of the project.
The most extreme case is that after you put a lot of effort into running a project that is on the verge of bankruptcy, the original owner directly takes away all the dividends...
Do you feel a sense of déjà vu?
