Free character creation! It wasn't resurrection, so there were bound to be differences from the original

There's always a story waiting for you to uncover.

"I can't answer that question because none of us have used this free baby-making benefit yet. Actually, a few of us have the same question; only Captain Wang Zhen, Captain Zheng Zha, and Zhang Jie have used this benefit."

"But based on my deduction, this benefit must be quite valuable, otherwise Captain Wang Zhen wouldn't emphasize it every time there's a new recruit. So, we're all still carefully considering it. If you're in a hurry, you can ask Captain Wang Zhen."

Although Xiao Shenke is young, he has focused on the sorcerer path and possesses high intelligence and emotional intelligence. He is very adept at dealing with people and is incredibly skilled. Although Li Jie appears to be poor in both appearance and demeanor, Xiao Shenke still provides detailed answers because he has a high sensitivity to danger and vaguely senses that Li Jie is somewhat dangerous.

Xiao Shenke is now a second-tier warlock and a high Knight, wearing Knight armor imbued with the " Runeword: Bramble." Even with his level of strength, he can still vaguely sense danger, demonstrating the extent of Li Jie's danger. Therefore, his answer was detailed: it wasn't fear, but rather a lack of need for it. The more dangerous Li Jie is, the higher his potential, and the stronger he will become after enhancement. Although Wang Zhen said his team is self-sufficient and he wouldn't act as a babysitter, with such a formidable figure blocking their path, their safety is undoubtedly much higher. Why would Wang Zhen need to act as a babysitter?

"Thank you so much! I will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"

After bowing deeply, Li Jie strode quickly toward Wang Zhen's private space.

Xiao Shenke, Wang Dashan, and Nie Quanzhen exchanged glances before returning to their respective rooms. Of course, they also conveyed an agreement with their eyes: they would meet together again the next day for a small meeting. This time, there were five new recruits, which would inevitably have an impact on the two oddball sub-teams of the Zhongzhou Team. Since the three of them had already latched onto Wang Zhen's coattails, they would naturally stick to them even tighter now.

"Captain Wang, my name is Li Jie. Could you please explain the free baby-making scheme in detail?"

Please!

"This matter is very important to me!"

After knocking on the door, Li Jie looked serious, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Wang Zhen's face, and said with utmost seriousness.

"No problem. Come in."

Wang Zhen sensed Li Jie's unusual mental state and knew that the man had most likely lost a loved one, and that Li Jie was very likely implicated. He felt extremely guilty afterward and carried the burden of guilt, which led to his unusual mental state.

Thank you!

Li Jie didn't say much, but his expression was very serious.

"Free creation of a human is a benefit given by the Main God to all newcomers who complete the first story world. This person is indeed a living, breathing human, not a puppet or doll. They possess a soul and emotions. However, don't be too happy yet, because the Main God's level is far too high, so high that ordinary people like us cannot even fathom it. Therefore, I cannot answer whether this created human is a real human being. According to our level of understanding, this is indeed a real person, but this human being is created through your memories."

"Now you should understand what I mean, right? You're a highly educated professional, so you should know about the term 'cognitive bias.' What we remember and perceive is often different from the actual things we know. So, do you think the people you create based on your memory are real?"

"So, if you want to find an emotional anchor, a reason to live, then you can simply ask the Main God to read your memories and create that person to become your spiritual haven or a guiding light. This is probably why the Main God gives newlyweds the benefit of free creation. This is just speculation, and it can't be taken as fact."

"What I mean is that the person created is indeed a real person, but she was created by the Main God reading your memories. She matches the person in your memories, but there are still some discrepancies between her and the real person. Therefore, this benefit is the creation of a person, not resurrection."

"Next, you need to think carefully about whether or not you want to use this benefit."

Wang Zhen didn't ramble on with fancy stuff; he simply explained the principle of free procreation to Li Jie in the most straightforward and plain language.

"I see!"

"Thank you so much, Captain Wang!"

Li Jie thanked Wang Zhen with a sense of loss.

" Li Jie, may I ask why you are so interested in this benefit?"

"Most newcomers' first thought is to use this benefit to create a dream lover for themselves; a smaller number are driven by a sense of compensation, using the Main God to create their closest emotional ties to deceased loved ones. But regardless of the reason, very few value whether someone is truly human as much as you do."

Although Li Jie didn't say it explicitly, his extremely serious attitude made it easy for Wang Zhen to understand that Li Jie valued the authenticity of the person created for free.

"No offense intended. I used to be a bomb disposal expert, responsible for defusing bombs, explosives, and hazardous materials at the police station—basically, a bomb disposal specialist. My wife was a teacher at a private elementary school. The students there all came from very wealthy families. Then one day, the school was taken over by a group of kidnappers. They put twenty-three children, three teachers... and my wife into a school bus and planted a time bomb on it. My wife was pregnant at the time, and because she was a victim, I had to avoid suspicion and couldn't personally defuse the bomb; I could only provide on-site support. As a result, I misjudged the situation, causing my colleague responsible for defusing the bomb to cut the wrong wire. The bomb wasn't defused before the countdown ended, and all the children, teachers, colleagues, and my wife were killed."

Li Jie said with difficulty.

"Have you ever considered that it's not that you misjudged, but rather... no matter which wire you cut, the countdown won't stop, and the bomb won't explode?"

Wang Zhen said with a somewhat strange expression.

How is that possible?

"The kidnappers demanded a huge ransom, and the students' parents chose to pay it. After receiving the ransom, the kidnapper leader presented them with a choice: 'A person must rely on themselves.' There were two lines, red and blue, symbolizing life and death, each with a 50% chance... We had to choose. And I... chose the red line!"

Upon hearing Wang Zhen's words, Li Jie's eyes instantly turned red, and the lifeless man suddenly became agitated.

" Li Jie, you've probably suffered too much of a blow, making it hard for you to get over the psychological trauma and causing you to lose focus on many things. In reality, these kidnappers aren't kidnappers at all; they're terrorists. Their specialty is taking both money and lives. That multiple-choice question that starts with 'A person must rely on themselves' is the hallmark of a terrorist leader. He loves watching the person who makes that choice, causing them to have a mental breakdown, either committing suicide or becoming a walking corpse."

"This guy who likes to use multiple-choice questions, manipulate people's mentality, and kill them by attacking their spirit, is called Doctor!"

He's a notorious psychopath in Southeast Asia's underworld.

"However, he is already dead."
