Chapter 238: The Rise of Mechanical Species
According to logic, when a person dreams, they naturally have all kinds of bizarre dreams.
A spring dream is one of them.
But while others simply dream, Sylvie can materialize dreams into reality, revealing the most private parts to others.
It turns out to be a melodramatically eventful Mary Sue style yellow dream.
Absolutely outrageous!
And yet, this dream was witnessed by someone.
Instant social death ensued, she just didn't want to live anymore, her toes could probably dig out a three-room apartment in embarrassment.
"Who is that?"
Sylvie looked at the presence beyond the Crystal Wall, in the dense fog, her expression somewhat tense.
Just as she was imagining wildly, suddenly that vast figure stood up, turned around, and left, disappearing into the thick fog.
"Phew!"
Sylvie felt panicked.
She was still seen; would she be threatened to do something? Or laughed at?
Should she tell His Majesty about this, but how could she bring it up?
"This is so troublesome!" She felt it was more troublesome than fighting, pacing back and forth in the room, finally not feeling sleepy and didn't continue to have a second Dream of Truth.
...
...
"The first experiment has been declared a failure."
Li Qing left the living room, silently giving Sylvie space to recover, after all, in this experiment, she had a social death.
And continuing to reap benefits still requires being considerate of the other party's feelings, right?
Let her recuperate and come back next time.
This matter already involved Li Qing's responsibility, treating others as test subjects, carrying out various experiments inherently had risks and unforeseen events.
In the courtyard.
The color was still golden brilliant, reflecting gold, a gigantic World Tree stood tall within.
Over the years, Li Qing hasn't been inactive.
The construction team is still tirelessly building new rooms, expanding further afield.
And those rooms are quite large, but Li Qing is only building them and is too lazy to nurture life.
Honestly, he no longer lacks land, always on the control red line of the "subordinate limit".
Lacking people, not land.
This made him itch lately, wanting to have a spree, perhaps Awakening a batch of uncontrolled single-cell civilizations...
And the current actual continental area primarily still lies in the Subspace.
Even the outside mental asylum is best to be a bit smaller, it's precisely those three-room "Divine Realm" small portions that appear precious, everyone rushing to occupy, to shepherd the All Living Beings in the Lower Realm!
Like diamonds, the stock on Earth is huge right?
But to make it precious, capitalists monopolize the supply of diamonds so people chase after them eagerly, hence the saying "Divine Realm" lasts forever, "one room" to be ever-lasting!
Tricking them into scrambling for rooms and selling houses in reality, passing it down generations.
"Hmm, the price of a single room in the mental asylum must continue to rise!"
Li Qing sat in the courtyard of the mental asylum, under a giant Golden Tree, beginning to plan the future development of his Sand Table, construction blueprints:
"And as the director, I can't build too many houses, it still has to be pigeon cages, numerous, not too big, and ideally uncomfortable to live in."
"Building too many not only drastically increases costs but also easily depreciates, wouldn't it be more prudent to inflate the value of individual rooms in commodities?"
"Let those deities become house slaves, working to exhaustion, making money, growing stronger, occupying a single ward as the Divine Realm."
Perfect!
This is what is called a commodity economy.
This canvas is just an example.
A pigeon cage, still with no privacy rights, easily seen through, yet isn't Sylvie forced to stay inside?
Old but better than nothing.
Setting aside these random thoughts, Li Qing began contemplating how to improve the current dream system.
After all, he still needs to push Sylvie to be the gatekeeper BOSS, this backstage agitator, to monopolize an era, to face the roaring elites.
"By the way, Sylvie's dream just now was too easily influenced by personal emotions, which isn't good."
He pondered.
"Subjective consciousness too strong, causing world collapse, even leading to some anti-human events, like, an alien invading civilization was absurdly slapped with a Dumbing Aura, and along with humans dumbed down... Self-congratulating until they just cease to exist, indulging in craziness until it was all gone, just like a Hearthstone legend."
This kind of forced dumb down of villains, probably only happened in this dream.
Li Qing pondered a bit.
Frankly, Dream of Truth, very cool!
Make the dream reflect into reality, one dream one civilization...
Advancing civilization by living in dreams!
But the side effects are evident, how to change the influence of subjective consciousness?
He silently wrote down four characters:
[All Living Beings' Consciousness]
Dreams will no longer be solely controlled by Sylvie.
But will be centered around her, with a group of Bionic Beings' dream assistance, dreaming together.
With more people dreaming and "logging in", it becomes more rational.
An individual's subconscious is too easy to run wild.
However, the dream still serves Sylvie, and in the dream she must still become the protagonist.
And how to become the protagonist?
In one's dream, one is of course the protagonist.
This is every person's instinct!
"But this idealism, the protagonist halo affecting the environment, she only gets 60%, others would share 40%." Li Qing kept planning:
"Then, the collective subconscious of the people, shall be called.... Heavenly Dao Consciousness!"
"And if the protagonist halo is fixed, it's too uninteresting, there must be variables! Which means the protagonist's fortune can be seized."
Li Qing kept on planning as a whole new civilization appeared before him.
With Heavenly Dao, with protagonist halo... countless people logged in, into one reincarnation dream, could be the Wizard World, Martial World, Immortal Martial World, Magic, Arcane Magic...
Li Qing's eyes gradually brightened, as he started planning ahead.
A civilization voyaging with dreams as its horse—Dream Garment Civilization, began to completely form its prototype.
This is a civilization system completely different from the Martial Arts World!
...
At this moment.
Sylvie was still in a state of panic, seeing the human city in reality after waking from the dream, filled with the corpses of dream NPCs with sunken cheeks and withered bodies, blood coughed up all over.
It could be seen how crazy these people were.
The more this dream is seen, the more nonsensical it becomes!
And soon, these NPC characters, their own mechanical chip people, began to awaken too.
"Oh, what happened?"
"Didn't the princess say to log into the dream with us, isn't it a dream now?"
"No memory left."
"Looking at the dream, it seems it was a dream of an apocalypse world?"
A chip crawled up from the back of the head, "Why does it look so tragic, my controlled character seems to have sunken cheeks, frothing at the mouth? As if drained of something?"
One by one, their own Mechanical Species chip, completely puzzled, what happened to their controlled human character?
"Cough cough cough!"
Sylvie looked at her own people, coughed twice, "This dream was too tragic, the killing terrifying, worthy of being called an epic song of humanity, all of you fought until your faces were yellow and thin, spewing blood, I deliberately deleted the memory of this dream, lest you develop a psychological shadow."
She couldn't possibly say she was having absurd dreams, right?
Then the dignity and reputation of the Mechanical Princess would be utterly destroyed, wouldn't it?
"That seems like it was very tragic for us this time."
The Bionic Being clan was very straightforward, believing in an instant.
"I think logging into the dream is also pretty good, being embedded in the body of various civilizations' races, practicing their civilization systems, experiencing their lives..."
"Yes."
"We have infinite possibilities..."
Everyone began chatting.
Sylvie felt a bit guilty, for her civilization to develop, for one genius after another from her own people to rise, only then would she have enough foundation, only then would she have the Demigod Fate Map, constantly supplying!
Only then would she have a chance to step into being a True God.
But this time, it was all absurd dreaming, civilization wasn't propelled, not one strong Bionic Being appeared, not a single Demigod Fate Map was born.
The path to a True God hasn't advanced by a single step.
She began constantly researching the legacy of the Golden Tree, "Hey, new words have appeared on it, unexpectedly unlocking new legacies?"
She kept observing, suddenly feeling ecstatic.
All Living Beings' Consciousness?
If only this new system structure existed earlier, she wouldn't have had a social death.
"Darn!"
Sylvie wanted to wash away the humiliation, enthusiastically starting to prepare for a new dream, meanwhile, with a thought, "Since I have to recruit people to dream, why not secretly pull in some guys from the Martial Arts continent too."
"I need to contact someone willing to be my mole, now starting to set up." Sylvie pondered a bit, quickly finding the manpower.
