"No, no, no, boss, the existence of two completely different alternative models is already a genetic miracle; there is absolutely no way a third one could exist!"
Lin Yi simply smiled and remained silent in response to the expert's remarks, and naturally wouldn't take out the third type of T-virus mutation sample from his pocket to show him, at least not yet...
“Alright, Smith, you can discuss these things yourselves. I will give you the way to contact that ‘newcomer’ so you can ask him any questions you may have about calculations in the future.”
"Boss, isn't this newbie coming over here himself?"
"Trade secrets, you know, these professionals always have many difficulties..."
"Oh, I understand."
Seeing Smith's sudden realization, Lin Yi didn't delve into the background he had imagined for the "newcomer" role played by the main god. As far as he was concerned, as long as the main god's enormous computing power could be used in a way that would benefit development, that was enough. As for the possibility of being exposed... unless Lin Yi, as the original body, was discovered, it would be of no use even if it was revealed that the communication was not carried out by a human but by a "robot".
"Then, let's wait for good news."
----------segmentation----------
Zero World.
Entering the dusty bedroom, Lin Yi opened the closed safe and took out two vials of medicine. As if suddenly remembering something, he casually asked the being in his mind, "God, can I ask you a question?"
[Unknown Command]
"Regarding those reincarnators, it seems to me that they have no reason to exist. The experiments can be carried out by using the natives of different worlds, and I can do the plundering myself. As for what you mentioned about dealing with powerful life forms... if even I can't beat them, I can't think of anything they can do with their power."
[Correct judgment]
The unexpected answer made Lin Yi pause, and he remained silent for a long time.
"reason?"
[Browsing access has been granted based on the repaired information]
The moment the voice in his mind rang out, the scene before Lin Yi's eyes instantly changed.
"This is... a star map?"
Within the vast, boundless black space, six dim points of light formed a twisted ellipse, inconspicuous within it—these were none other than the six worlds that Lin Yi had already explored and encountered.
The currently explored world is a low-activity world.
"what?"
[Will you open up world coordinates for low- to medium-activity areas?]
"..."
Completely unaware of the difference between this "low-activity world" and the "medium-low activity world," a certain impulse compelled Lin Yi to issue the order—
"open."
[Command confirmed, low- to medium-activity world coordinates now open.]
For a moment, his vision blurred, but when he saw the star map clearly again, Lin Yi was awestruck by the mysterious and magnificent scene.
The original emptiness of pitch black was replaced by dim star vortexes. Countless vortices, large and small, collided and devoured each other, forming this limitless "world." In the very center, six faintly glowing points of light formed an oval shape. However, the interior and surrounding area of that oval were no longer the pitch blackness Lin Yi had seen before—
"...These are the low- to medium-activity worlds?"
[The assessment is correct. Exploring worlds with low to medium activity levels is dangerous. Before a host enters, a Reincarnator needs to be deployed as a focal point. The intensity of the impact that the focal point may suffer varies depending on the activity level of the world being explored.]
He let out a long sigh: "So, in other words, I can't just enter these worlds without any preparation like I did with the previous ones. Instead, I have to first attract the... malice of this world by sending in reincarnators?"
[86% of the descriptions are accurate.]
"……very good"
Slowly, he focused his attention on a point of light at the edge of the oval: "Let's give it a try... God, select ten reincarnators with a mid-level evolution level from World Three and send them into this world."
"Number: World Seven".
Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 81 - The Low-Activity World (Part 2)
Takashi Yuko is a samurai, at least on the surface.
As one of the few survivors who barely escaped the shogunate's southward advance more than five months ago and suffered a crushing defeat, Takashi Yuko also has another unknown identity: a reincarnator.
At first, when he heard that voice, he thought it was just his own madness. However, after a certain Reimu (the author of the novel) decided to try it out and actually did what the "main quest" said, the ever-expanding power within him quickly captivated the samurai. In this era where the Kabane could invade at any moment, only absolute force could give him peace of mind.
Soon, Takashi Yuko, who had devoted himself to the "God Space" that only he could see, grew to a level that he could not have imagined before, and encountered the threshold that every candidate would face: becoming a formal reincarnator.
It was a brutal elimination battle, no less intense than the one against the Kabane.
After unexpectedly discovering that he was not the only one who could see the "God Space," Takashi Yuko, after a period of hesitation, resolutely picked up his weapon and swung his blade at his former comrades as required by the "main quest."
After killing six other candidates who could also see the "God Space," Ryushi Yuko achieved his wish and became a true official reincarnator. He accumulated enough reward points to exchange for a vial of potion while killing Kabane day and night.
Unlike the four official reincarnators who failed to be infected and became mindless Kabane, Yuko Takashi's evolutionary process, though equally fraught with difficulties, resulted in success. He gained unimaginable power and was no longer at risk of being infected by the Kabane.
With this ability and his martial prowess, Takashi Yuko has made a name for himself in the shogunate. Recently, a shogun even wanted to marry his daughter to him, hoping that he would become his samurai.
It was at this moment that Takashi Yuko suddenly received a new mission from the main god—
Side Quest: Survival
[Mission Requirement: Survive for three hours]
[Success Reward: 3000 reward points, unlocking the ability to exchange for the third enhancement potion]
[Failure penalty: none]
[Reincarnator No. 10086154, you have three minutes to choose whether to accept this mission.]
After a short pause, Takashi Yuko quickly confirmed—no way, how could he not do a side quest with no penalty? Even if he wasn't sure, he might give up in the end. Having accepted several side quests before, Takashi Yuko regarded these unpredictable quests as "rewards," let alone this one with no penalty. If he didn't accept it, he probably wouldn't forgive himself.
Soon, new information from the Supreme God appeared on the wristwatch.
[Reincarnator No. 10086154 has accepted the mission and will be transferred to the mission location in 180 seconds. Please prepare accordingly.]
"Transfer?"
It was only then that Takashi Yuko realized something was wrong. In the past, no matter what mission he accepted, he always completed it nearby. Where did this "transfer" come from?
However, the overbearing terms from the main god gave him no chance to back out—abandoning the mission only applied to the period after the mission had started, and there was no way to stop the mission before it even began.
Left with no other choice, Takashi Yuko could only quickly tidy up his armor and equipment. Due to time constraints, he didn't even have time to bring the penetrating tube. Three minutes later, his vision blurred, and when he could see his surroundings again, the environment was completely different.
Before Takashi Yuko could even process the stark difference, his instincts, honed from numerous brushes with death, compelled him to instinctively shout, draw his blade, and turn to slash forcefully behind him—
"Chong-"
The blade encasing the Kabane's heart membrane did not break during the violent impact, but the force of the recoil was still beyond what a mere novice virus evolver could withstand. With a scream, the warrior was thrown backward and crashed into a telephone pole amidst the screams of passersby before coming to a stop.
With most of his bones broken, Takashi Yuko was barely breathing, only managing to stay awake thanks to his strong physique and the mutation of the Kabane. However, he was unable to stand up for a short time.
At this point, the people around him, dressed in strange clothes, began to approach him little by little.
Takashi Yuko could tell that these "humans" who looked just like him spoke a language he couldn't understand at all, and he didn't understand their clothing, the objects in their hands, or even the "Iron Chariot" that had so easily injured him.
There was no need to understand anymore. With another hoarse shout, a heavy truck speeding through the street suddenly veered off course. Its wheels ran over several pedestrians who couldn't escape in time before crashing into the wide-eyed Takashi Yuko. Five seconds later, with a huge explosion, crimson flames illuminated a large area nearby...
"...Is this the malice of the world?"
Opening his eyes, Lin Yi shifted his gaze from the deceased reincarnator back to the present, his brows furrowed.
The results of this attempt were far from ideal.
The ten official reincarnators, whose average attributes were 2.5 times that of ordinary people, all died within ten minutes of entering World Seven, and without exception, all of them died "accidentally".
In comparison, Takashi Yuko's experience was relatively lucky. One of the reincarnators died from electrocution immediately after the transfer was completed—he was transferred under a high-voltage electrical box.
The others were either killed by fire or flood; none of them were killed under normal circumstances. It's almost as if...
"Is the world targeting them?"
[The correct judgment is that, unlike the low-activity world, the medium-to-low-activity world possesses a certain degree of its own will and will spontaneously eliminate invading 'virus molecules'.]
"...It sounds like the setting of Alaya."
[74% of the descriptions match the judgment]
He shook his head: "How do we solve this problem?"
[First, continuously introduce multiple reincarnators to divert the world's attention, allowing the host to infiltrate them. The host's operational time will vary depending on the length of time each reincarnator persists; Second, destroy the world's will.]
Only now did Lin Yi understand why the main god needed "reincarnators," beings who mostly only contributed but didn't produce anything, and why he tried to make them stronger. After all, it was a wiser choice to let these ant-like reincarnators, who could constantly generate and consume resources, test the waters than to rashly venture into a world of unknown depths by himself. Not to mention that sometimes reincarnators could also be "used" as plunderers or other identities.
However, at the same time, another question arose in Lin Yi's mind: "If the goal is to attract fire, can't we use inanimate objects like robots instead?"
The standard for judging the world's will is the soul.
"Is it possible to manipulate robots that won't be noticed by the world's will to disrupt that world's will, and then enter it yourself?"
[This is a flawed judgment; the intervention of the world's will requires a strong subjective intention, and mechanical matter does not possess will.]
"..."
So, this is a false proposition with only one possible solution.
Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 82 Cruelty (Part 1)
World Number Three, Japan.
Xianjinyi has recently ushered in a new golden period of development.
Before the Kabane appeared, Senjin Station developed rapidly as an industrial and transportation hub. However, with the appearance of the Kabane and their continuous northward invasion, Senjin Station, which was geographically located in the south, became an area that everyone avoided. Until a year ago, it was still deserted.
However, with the reduction of the Kabane's offensive intensity and the increase in adventurers trying to venture into the southern territories in search of wealth, Haunted Gold Station once again ushered in a period of great prosperity, especially recently.
The number of adventurers from the north seemed to have multiplied several times overnight. They completely ignored the dangers of the Kabane outside the city and rushed into those dangerous areas one after another. There were even rumors that some adventurers were not going south for wealth, but simply to kill the Kabane.
Many people just laughed and remained silent in response to these reports—it's ridiculous, who would be so tired of living as to specifically hunt down Kabane?
However, Ikoma knew that these people were real, and he had personally witnessed a group of them.
As one of the group of official reincarnators who once saved Ikoma, Yuri Wakasa is also puzzled by the recent anomalies.
"Not only the number of formal reincarnators, but also the number of candidates has increased significantly. Most of those who entered Xianjin Station came after receiving side quests from the main god."
"Side quest?"
"Yes, only reincarnators with an enhancement multiplier of less than 2.5 will receive this mission."
After a year, Hui Feixu, who had long since grown accustomed to this unfamiliar world, said casually, "Maybe they felt that it would be difficult to control this world if there were too few people, so they increased the number of people."
"...Hu Tao, do you think it's necessary to go through all this trouble if this 'God's' goal is simply to control the world?"
The girl fell silent upon hearing this.
Rather than being difficult, it was far too simple. She could think of at least three simple ways to manipulate the world, and that was from her personal perspective and status.
It's easy to imagine that for the 'main god' who controls countless formal reincarnators like himself, controlling this world would be incredibly simple. He could just set up a task—not even a main quest that threatens death, but a side quest with a decent reward—and countless people would rush to complete it.
After all, compared to running outside the city to fight those Kabane, hiding in the city to fight one's own kind is a completely different level of difficulty.
"Then why is it doing this? It can't be that it wants to carry out a massive purge and drain the potential of humanity in this world, can it?"
"That's possible, but... have you noticed something lately?"
"You mean those reincarnated beings who disappeared?"
"That's right, because the main god mandates that formal reincarnators cannot have contact with each other, let alone leak information about it or the other world, but it's still okay to keep an eye on their movements. But among the reincarnators I'm keeping an eye on, half of them have disappeared in the last few days."
The girl carrying the military shovel was taken aback upon hearing this: "Disappeared?"
"Yes...it's possible they were wiped out, but it's impossible for so many people to fail their missions and be wiped out all at once. My guess is that they were transferred to other worlds to carry out missions for the main god, just like us."
"So what? I'm pretty tired of this world anyway, so it's fine to go to another one."
"The question is, why increase the number of candidates and reincarnators so much all at once?"
"..."
"...That's right, unless that new world needs more reincarnators as fighting force, or..."
----------segmentation----------
"The replenishment rate cannot keep up with the consumption rate."
After drawing this conclusion from the comparison of the number of existing reincarnators and their strength levels provided by the main god, Lin Yi rubbed his temples and said, "Continue to increase the screening of reincarnators in World Three, to three times the current number."
【Command confirmation】
After receiving the reply from his mind, Lin Yi once again turned his attention to World Seven, which had finally yielded initial results after the sacrifice of hundreds of reincarnators.
