The idea that human Consciousness Data has become Weird Tale might not seem like much, since Acquired Supernatural Tale are essentially Weird Tale constructed from human consciousness and external cognition.

For example, if Chen Xiyao suddenly died, based on the understanding of people in the country, she would most likely become some kind of strange Weird Tale, such as [Mo Ju's lover], [Martial Ancestor's mistress], or [a fourth kind of contact].

The problem is that this change is based on the premise of death.

Because in addition to the knowledge that comes from being perceived by others, humans also have an essential definition in a "biological sense."

The real reason for the extremely large amount of data in real people is that the information describing the life forms constructed by the combination of these massive amounts of microscopic particles is the data describing the combination of these microscopic particles.

And now, the Main Body behind these account information are still alive.

They are living, breathing people, existing in the Real World with a vast amount of knowledge and being known. They are real people with a massive amount of "data" in a biological sense that is difficult to cover up by Weird Tale.

Therefore, the part that can become Weird Tale is itself a part of real people, their consciousness, but not their entirety.

Once logged off, the account/character in this world will disappear.

Feng Xue speculated that this was also the reason why those [consciousnesses] lingered around the body but did not coalesce.

But this leads to another problem --

What will happen to these [knowledge] when the players return?

Will they transform the players' Consciousness Data into Weird Tale?

Are those players even aware of this?

Are they able to use the powers of Weird Tale?

Can it digest the Supernatural Tale Fire?

Various questions arose in Feng Xue's mind, making this guy with a strong thirst for knowledge itchy.

However, compared to these minor issues, what he cared about more was...

If those game accounts really do become Weird Tale, what will happen when they log off again?

A living Weird Tale?

Consumed by the very nature of being human?

Or should we simply divide it into two parts?

Or perhaps, similar to how the people of Yan Kingdom know martial arts, the account that is the Supernatural Tale Source provides power to the Main Body, thus granting the Main Body the abilities of the Weird Tale, while still remaining human?

So, after they die, will they simply transform into Weird Tale?

These issues seem unrelated to Feng Xue herself, but upon closer examination, they seem to have a vague sense of déjà vu with Infinite City. The essential difference between a game account and Nothingness is merely the presence of an additional Main Body. Conversely...

Is nothingness truly nothingness?

Or perhaps, it's just an echo from some real place in another world?

Is it data left behind by a deceased person?

While thinking about these things, Feng Xue even felt a strong sense of fear about his own existence, but this fear was quickly dispelled by his unwavering will.

Ultimately, having already accepted his identity as "nothingness," he already possessed the self-awareness that he was merely "residue." Now, it was simply a matter of judging truth and falsehood. What did it matter if it was real or fake? What did it matter if he was a copy of someone else? What did it matter if he was the lingering echo of someone else's soul?

He is who he is. At least after awakening in the Infinite City, everything he experienced belongs to him. He has a cognition independent of himself, and different Tag and interpersonal relationships than in his "previous life." And isn't embarking on the path of Weird Tale essentially a path from falsehood to reality?

Since we're already on the path of turning falsehood into reality, why bother caring whether our past selves were false?

If this were a scene from a cultivation novel, Feng Xue would feel that at this moment, her Sea of Consciousness should be filled with Spiritual Light, and even a ray of light should rise from the top of her head. She would then realize her True Self nature, attain enlightenment, return to her roots, see through the illusions, and have no more obstacles on her path of cultivation.

Unfortunately, it was just Weird Tale. This momentary improvement in his mental state only allowed him to advance further in the True Intent of his martial arts.

However, it's not without its advantages. After all, if he can pass the test of self-examination, then it seems he can also try to touch upon the power of the [God of War].

"Let's not mess with those famous martial gods yet; let's start with the weakest ones first."

Feng Xue muttered to herself, activated her Divine Authority, and pulled out an unnamed warrior worshipped by a small village with only a few hundred people who were practically invisible.

Such Weird Tale are practically everywhere in the Eastern Kingdom. Feng Xue didn't even know whether this Martial God came from the real world where the Infinite City was located, the world where the Game Player lived, or even from the Japanese Pirates in this Wuxia World.

But none of that matters, after all, Feng Xue was just trying it out.

However, when that barely perceptible power flowed into his Supernatural Tale Fire, nothing happened. No, it's not that nothing happened; to be precise, this Martial God was simply too weak, so much so that the Progenitor Supernatural Tale didn't even spark before being melted by his own Supernatural Tale Fire.

"Tsk tsk, so I'm this strong now." Feng Xue shook her head, first using her martial arts True Intent to scan her entire body, and after confirming that there were no problems, she pulled one out from the bottom of the list of countless martial gods and threw it into her Supernatural Tale Fire.

Each time he threw in a piece of "firewood," he would pause for a moment to check his status. Only after confirming that there were no problems would he throw in another piece. However, even if we only consider the two modern worlds, there are quite a few of these minor martial gods. So many of those thousands of low-level martial gods would be enough for him to burn for quite some time.

Maintaining this process, which was like savoring French fries and extracting a wisp of Divine Power with each bite, Feng Xue refocused her attention on the Gundam production line.

After all, in order to silence those players, besides using his authority, he also made a lot of promises to get them to willingly work as screwdrivers. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for him and the villagers of Big Locust Tree Village to build an industrial system.

Moreover, considering that their experiments would likely require a considerable amount of materials, the establishment of a Gundam production line was clearly necessary.

"Sigh, we still need energy after all."

Looking at the substandard parts delivered by the blacksmiths, Feng Xue sighed as she used her powers to refine them. Without her own refinement, the Gundam assembled from these parts would probably fall apart after taking only a few steps.

However, without high-precision machine tools, it's unrealistic to expect villagers to improve the precision of the parts.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Xue gritted her teeth and finally decided to build a generator set.

"Although Big Locust Tree Village is not far from the coastline, we won't damage the forests; building a hydroelectric generator will suffice."

Feng Xue muttered to herself, and immediately focused her consciousness on the Tag she knew, searching for a way to make a water-powered generator using rudimentary methods.

As for how to explain it to the players after they arrive...

Just kidding, I've already built a Gundam, what's missing is a water generator?

Just push it to the player's traveling merchant!

To be honest, the system of this book is also idealistic, but it's idealistic based on rules. Because there are fixed rules, it appears more "materialistic." (Damn, I'm reminded of a reader saying that the book on paradoxes wasn't materialistic...)

Therefore, the idealistic world should be chaotic, with everyone's perception being different. But writing it out like that would be too messy. So, the current plan is to use three variables to anchor the system, making the idealistic world seem relatively smoother and making it easier to plan the system upgrades.

They believe that if an ordinary person can draw a 300-stone bow, then they can draw a 300-stone bow; they believe that birds are smart enough to survive a force 18 gale unscathed, and are immune to storm damage...

Therefore, this world should be divided into two systems: one is the knowledge system, which strengthens imagination through learning. Its advantages are a solid foundation and stable power, but its disadvantages are slow leveling up and the need for educational resources. The other is the illiterate system, which does not learn at all and relies entirely on guesswork. Its advantages are extremely high potential, but its disadvantages are extremely low potential. As long as you believe that a slide tackle can kill a tiger, you can kill it. However, once you lose confidence, you will become tiger food.

However, such a world makes upward social mobility very easy; even a penniless person can become invincible as long as they have a strong imagination...

It seems quite interesting.

Let's start by writing an outline.
