Lightly tossing the 'virus dango' in his hand, Jiu Ming noted that compared to its previous gray color, it had now become nearly colorless. That was because most of its functions had been discarded.
Rather than calling it a replica world now, it was more fitting to describe it as a special container. It retained the ability to accommodate the Mysterious Shop's power system, along with its capacity for growth and energy storage... and nothing else.
From an entire world system, only those three frameworks remained. Even the mechanisms that maintained the balance of the power system had been deleted. That showed just how thoroughly Panel-kun had prepared—defenses in every possible aspect. Under Panel-kun's control, the balancing mechanisms this thing lacked would be supplied by the Mysterious Shop, so no problems would arise. But once it left the Mysterious Shop, it would collapse immediately!
"Next, add Hairball's purification mechanism... Though is it really okay to castrate it this much?"
[There is absolutely no problem. Retaining the power system synchronized with the Mysterious Shop is enough to preserve the purification mechanism's integrity. Although it will initially be a degraded version, it is completely different from those defective products that were thoroughly separated out. As long as this replica container can grow, its purification effect can be strengthened. In the end, it may even reach a higher level of purification.]
Every profession had its specialty. All future growth potential of this replica container would be focused on the sole purification mechanism within it, and since it had been specifically separated out, its growth potential was naturally somewhat higher than that of the Mysterious Shop's original version.
After all, this thing was indeed a castrated product. But in the areas that had not been cut away, its effects were not much different from
