Fishing by draining the water, as the name suggests, means fishing by draining the water. It is a metaphor for doing things only for immediate benefits without any plans for the future.
But what if every time you catch a fish, the environment will be reset the next day? Just like the game is refreshed, every time you enter a dungeon, are there new monsters?
According to this logic, the so-called corruption in dreams 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 donkey's regeneration speed will also become slower. At this time, the donkey can no longer provide Donkeys with tender meat can only be killed.
This is probably the reason why people in dreams in this world will become numb and dull as the number of deaths increases.
And when this numbness accumulates to the point where it is difficult to provide sufficient [consciousness], the corruption mechanism will "restart" people, just like a real person who enters the Infinite City will become a bad omen when he dies. This world The restart will completely drain out all the [consciousness] of this conscious body, thus transforming it into a strange creature, that is, a corrupt creature.
People who die completely will lose this part of their consciousness permanently. However, due to the separation between reality and dreams, the physical body in reality is still alive, so at most they will have headaches, lack of energy, neurasthenia, etc., and it will not be long before they can return to the world. Log in, so after logging in, there is a new donkey that can be cut.
Although this is just Feng Xue's guess based on the existing information, considering that Guishou thinks he can be killed in his dream, this guess is probably very close to the truth.
After all, he is a monster, and his body is in his consciousness. If he dies in a regular dream, that's it. But if he directly drains his consciousness to form another monster, he is really dead, and the suspected protein body in reality is meaningless.
In other words, it's like someone else has canceled their online account. It doesn't matter how many years the account has been in operation. In real life, it's a big deal to register a new one.
But Feng Xue himself is an online person. Even if there is backup data after being logged out, the account that is restored is not his own.
Although this set of flesh-and-blood millstone structure for sustainable fishing may sound a bit inhumane, from the perspective of weird stories, this is undoubtedly a genius idea. If I had to describe it, it would probably be what a sweatshop feels like to a capitalist, right?
"But if you think about it, there's no reason to lock down real-world technology!" Feng Xue looked out the window, feeling a little puzzled. But when he saw the bright lights that were still bright in the middle of the night, he suddenly understood——
It turns out that the purpose of locking the technology tree is to let people sleep well!
When there were no electric lights and productivity was low, humans could only rest between sunrise and sunset (candles and lamp oil cost money). When cheap electric lights became popular, human sleep time was postponed.
And when the information age arrives, staying up late may become the norm.
From this point of view, it seems that it is more in the interest to choose an agricultural era. However, in an era without electrification industrial reform, productivity is limited. Limited productivity means that the population is limited. 500 million people sleep for 12 hours a day, and 500 million people sleep for 12 hours a day. Even a primary school student can understand the difference between hundreds of millions of people sleeping eight hours a day.
"I really want to come out and have a look." Feng Xue thought of this and couldn't help but sigh. Even though this structure looks simple, this senior must have experimented a lot in order to find a suitable ratio.
"Speaking of which, virtual reality games essentially have a similar structure, but the number of players is not as good as the number of dreams, and players cannot always guarantee strong vitality like the corruption refresh mechanism, but the player's consciousness can explain this. It’s not certain that there is a refresh mechanism in it, but in terms of the overall structure, it can only be regarded as a low-end version, far from being as complete as the dream system in this world.”
Feng Xue took out her little notebook and wrote down the inspiration about the structure of this world. Suddenly she understood why Infinite City would send high-level ghost stories to other worlds where ghost stories existed.
"Have I become an international student sent by a less developed country to learn advanced technology?"
Feng Xue secretly murmured in his heart, regardless of whether he was an international student or not, anyway, what he learned was definitely his.
Although his moral bottom line does not allow him to do this kind of behavior of squeezing all mankind, there are still many things that can be learned from the structure of this world.
For example, no matter how desperate it is, as long as it is not extinct, the organization will definitely pass on its experience.
Although in terms of camp, the Dream Keepers are definitely opposed to Kaitan, their existence is essentially to help Kaitan preserve his last spark of fire.
"If it weren't for the examples in this world, I would never have thought of supporting a secret force that I can't deal with..."
Feng Xue wrote down the words secret forces, villains, etc. in a small notebook, and was planning in her mind how to build such a force.
There is a saying that "your enemies will always understand you better than your friends." But for Kaitan, understanding means the survival of the fire. The fire that the enemy retains in order to defeat himself will become the key to his continuous recovery.
"So the Kaidan thing is really interesting. Thinking about it this way, if the boss of the classic King's Way comic has a core of Kaitan, then everything seems to become 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 immediately, but considering that "Jeston Laboratory" was still waiting As a result, he still suppressed his restless heart for the time being and planned to save up this fairy tale first.
…
Just as Feng Xue was recording his thoughts in his notebook, at the top of the tallest office building in the small town where he lived, a dozen young men and women were sitting on the windowsill. If a gust of wind blew over them, they might fall down. posture, silently meditating and refining Qi.
Logically speaking, even if there really are those kind of seekers in this world who would die if they heard the Tao in the morning, it would never be possible in this world where the speed of information transmission is still very slow in just a few days after the immortal has passed through the tribulation. Times, so many people gathered in a small city.
But the Dreamkeepers organization is after all an organization with tentacles all over the dream world. After the information about cultivating immortals appeared, in addition to mobilizing internal personnel, they also carried out some operations targeting ordinary people.
That is - a strong suggestion experiment.
After all, the problems between the dream world and the real world have been present in this world for decades. In the high-tech environment of dreams, there is naturally no shortage of research methods on how to bring dream technology back to reality. Nowadays, there are more information on the Internet (in dreams). It ignited the topic of cultivation. There are many people who want to cultivate in reality, but are unable to command themselves in reality.
At this time, the Dreamkeeper organization only needs to create a clever name to attract a large number of experimenters and implant them with hints of "working hard to cultivate immortality in reality", even if these hints are only one percent or even a thousand. If one of the people is tricked, it will trigger a cultivation frenzy, and in this frenzy, there will naturally be more people who can't help but start testing this method of stealing heaven's secrets.
And when the setting of "destined death" exists, the Dream Keeper has no psychological burden at all about letting people practice "stealing secrets".
Anyway, if you can't die, the robbery will be over!
Destiny has bound this world for so long, why can't they turn around and squeeze it?
Note ①: Many delicacies are quite cruel. The stuffed duck and fatty liver goose that have been criticized by animal protection organizations for so long are well known, and donkey meat has a long history.
We have an old saying called "cutting off the body of a living donkey", which is used to describe something that is unwilling to do. This is where it comes from.
There is also a saying that "the meat of dragons in the sky is the meat of donkeys on the ground". The dragon meat here refers to Zhen Ji...ah, it is hazel pheasant, also known as the flying dragon, but now it is protected and it is illegal to eat it.
As for donkey meat, in fact, if you have actually eaten slaughtered donkey meat, you will find that it is just like that. The real underground donkey meat actually refers to the method of cutting live donkey meat, that is, cutting it one by one first. Knife, but do not eat the cut meat, but eat the tender meat that grows out.
Some people may have seen a donkey with many scars tied up outside a store where donkey meat is burned. This is actually to tell customers that this store is authentic and uses live donkeys.
But in fact, most of these donkeys are just poster donkeys. They don’t eat at all. They are just signs. If you look carefully, you will find that this month the donkey is in the south of the city. Next month, you think the donkey has been killed and replaced with another donkey. Sometimes, you might be able to see it in the north of the city. After a few months, it will return to the south of the city after the storm has passed.
To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of switching between several shabu restaurants. After all, no one is so boring as to remember what a donkey looks like and where the wounds are.
