Although it's called gambling, there's actually very little risk involved. The reason why dirty data Omen Seed can turn nothingness and Weird Tale into Omen is because they contain too much data.

To put it bluntly, it's the same old story: talking about toxicity without discussing dosage is just being irresponsible. The difference in data between ordinary Weird Tale and Weird Tale of Feng Xue's caliber is as vast as the difference between a single-celled organism and a human. What might be fatal to a single-celled organism could be metabolized by a human without even the immune system needing to be activated.

The same goes for this seed. After entering Feng Xue's [consciousness] cycle, apart from adding a small, constantly fluctuating mosaic with elements like [Monkey King] and [Power] rolling around in his Supernatural Tale Fire, there was no other change. In fact, Feng Xue knew very well that if he wanted, he could burn this mosaic as firewood at any time, just like he burned away the traces of those martial gods.

"It doesn't seem like this thing is going to hatch?"

Feng Xue frowned and looked at the Witch, Witch offered no explanation for the riddle:

"Because there is no free-floating [consciousness] in the Infinite City, and the incubation of a seed requires the absorption of free-floating [consciousness] in the present world, so that Supernatural Tale Entry that matches that world can be generated. In addition, even if it is incubated, that Trait is only a prototype. You need to complete the corresponding process before it can truly be incubated."

"It's like forging a weapon. The seed is the main material. You need to follow the steps to forge it and add various auxiliary materials to cultivate it into a real Weird Tale. The difference between cultivating Weird Tale story from scratch and cultivating it step by step is that as long as you cultivate it step by step, it will definitely be able to hatch. And the world that the matching True Thing points to must also have the conditions to allow it to hatch."

"Got it, it's the classic online game system of collecting materials and crafting equipment, right?" Feng Xue rolled his eyes, but didn't take it too seriously, because he didn't care too much about the strength of this Weird Tale, as long as it really was the Monkey King.

The Witch didn't answer his sarcastic question, and Feng Xue didn't press further. She went home, gulped down a mouthful of Lucky Milk, grabbed a brick, and pushed open a door...

As the door opened and closed, Feng Xue was no stranger to the feeling of traversing worlds, but the moment she entered this world, a feeling unlike any she had ever experienced welled up from the depths of her mind.

Centered on the mosaic containing the [Monkey King] element, the Tag on him that hadn't participated in the Trait's construction began to move rapidly.

A massive amount of knowledge surged into his Supernatural Tale Fire in a way completely different from how he usually gained knowledge from others, like a flooded river carrying silt and sand, pushing those restless Tag into the mosaic.

Some of these Tag will detach in the next moment, while others will remain in the mosaic. This process continues continuously. Some Tag will stay inside for a while before being pushed out, while others will be stuck inside.

The process felt like it took a long time, but in reality, it only lasted five or six seconds. When everything stopped, the mosaic was gone, replaced by a complex string of information: simply put, the actions to be taken to incubate this Tag, and the name of this nascent Weird Tale.

[Sun Wukong].

"It's done!"

Although the Trait doesn't have any specific results yet, just those three words were enough to make Feng Xue's heart flutter with joy.

Regardless of whether this Sun Wukong is an alien, Esper, or Future People, it has already been determined that Feng Xue's attempt to fill in the knowledge gap has been a success.

The current problem is, how do we cultivate this Supernatural Tale Entry?

According to the information in this Weird Tale seed, the essence of cultivating Weird Tale is to do what this Weird Tale is supposed to do.

For example, right now, this seed is reminding Feng Xue that he should first settle down in the Water Curtain Cave, then learn martial arts at Square Inch Mountain, and finally go to the Dragon Palace to obtain the Sea Calming Needle and a set of armor...

"It doesn't seem too difficult. Anyway, let's find the flowers and fruits first... Holy crap?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden horn horn interrupted his thoughts, and then he saw a car.

"Holy crap, what the hell? This is a modern world! A modern Journey to the West?"

Feng Xue stared wide-eyed at the car that kept honking its horn because the child had run a red light. Her lips twitched slightly. After looking around, she had another discovery.

The technological level of this world seems pretty good; at least people on the street are already using online payments. Although the design style of the phones differs somewhat from current Smart Phone, it's not significant.

The street was lined with tall buildings, but a faint aroma wafted through the air. Turning around, one could see a small, unassuming restaurant that seemed to be doing very well.

Unable to eat, Feng Xue took out his Smart Phone, connected to the network of this world, and began searching for Flower-Fruit Mountain. To his surprise, a large number of pages appeared very quickly.

However, it wasn't the natural landscape he had imagined, but rather—

"The new residential project of Flower-Fruit Mountain Group has been officially completed..."

"The CEO of Flower-Fruit Mountain Group made inappropriate remarks..."

"Flower-Fruit Mountain Group..."

"..."

Looking at the Flower-Fruit Mountain Group on his phone, Feng Xue produced a packet of salt, but to avoid causing any misunderstanding with the shop assistant, he immediately stuffed it into his pocket.

"Flower-Fruit Mountain is a real estate conglomerate, so the Water Curtain Cave... could it be...?"

Feng Xue typed "Water Curtain Cave" into the search bar, and the result was as he expected.

"Water Curtain Cave Residential Area"

As expected, it is a real estate brand under the Flower-Fruit Mountain Group, with business operations in many cities.

What about the Three Star Cave?

Feng Xue searched but found no Trait for terms like "Three Star Cave" or "Square Inch Mountain." Even the results were mostly far-fetched and unsubstantiated, causing Feng Xue to frown.

"Wait a minute, isn't it said that this world should have all the elements needed to incubate the Trait? Or is it that Square Inch Mountain was a hidden force in the original story, so it's not well-known in this world?"

Feng Xue frowned and began searching for other keywords. For example, he found "Heavenly Palace City" for the Heavenly Palace and "Dragon Palace City" for the Dragon Palace, but he found no clues about the Sea Calming Needle, the Sea Calming Needle, or the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers, which gave him a slight headache.

"Although this world is a bit absurd, some basic settings can still be found... Speaking of which, even in the real world, there are many things or settings that only locals know about. Hmm... In that case, I'll go to Dragon Palace City first, and then buy a house in the Water Curtain Cave Residential Area of Flower-Fruit Mountain Group... I just don't know if Dragon Palace City has any Water Curtain Cave -themed residential areas. If not, I'll have to buy one in the next city..."

MKB comes from Dota and Dota 2. Its Chinese name is "Sea Calming Needle" (Jin Gu Bang), which is not a joke. Its English name is "Monkey King Bar," which literally translates to "Monkey King's Staff," so it's reasonable to include the "Monkey King" element.

P. S.: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! There should be one more chapter coming.
