Digital World Hypothesis

"Welcome to the Digital World!"

It was a picturesque world, with uniform rice paddies, orderly paths, and a vast, layered mountain forest behind the nearby village.

The sleepy-eyed little ones were still a bit dazed, but their companions had already dashed out of the bus with glee.

"Boss Liang! I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon, then."

As long as the money was right, no difficulty was insurmountable.

The mountain road was indeed a bit rough, but driving slowly and using the lights, this short stretch of mountain road was no problem for an experienced driver.

"Alright! Thanks! Drive safe."

On the way back, the driver saw a motorcycle. Two burly men wearing helmets reluctantly made way for him.

These two were, of course, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

In fact, from the moment the mercenaries were captured, Huaxia knew that Liang Xing didn't really need protection.

But it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, and hard to go from luxury to frugality.

Wasn't it much more convenient to have Zhang Long and Zhao Hu running errands?

Why send them back!

Anyway, they were following Liang Xing. Now they could switch to clerical work, safe and easy.

Luckily, the two of them had asked in advance today. If they had driven their Dragon Brand car, the road might not have been so easy to navigate.

"So lively~ How do the locals even get around here?" Zhang Long muttered, wiping sweat from his forehead.

"That's why he was able to rent it so easily," Zhao Hu said, looking at the mountain road. The edges showed signs of recent reinforcement, which Liang Xing must have arranged.

Over this period, his impression of Liang Xing had been particularly good.

Liang Xing basically couldn't be bothered to waste time on many benefits he could have pursued.

Of course, this was also thanks to the preferential treatment provided by Huaxia officials in various ways.

Liang Xing obeyed the law, and Huaxia made special exceptions.

The former saved time, and the latter gained economic benefits from technological upgrades.

A win-win situation?

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were the bridge between them, and they certainly knew Liang Xing's importance.

Therefore, no matter where Liang Xing went, the two of them had to follow.

But today's location was indeed a bit too remote.

Meanwhile, Liang Xing had already led everyone into the village.

--Qidian Village.

Meaning the starting point of the Digital World, and also the starting point for Liang Xing to introduce the Digital World to everyone.

"Whoa—look! These eggs?"

A Lie raised his phone and immediately captured the biggest secret of Qidian Village.

--Digital Eggs!

'!!! Send location!'
'Group egg theft (1/10000)'
'Location! Location! Send location!'
'These are fake! You bunch of idiots!'

The viewers in the live stream, who were almost obsessed with Digital Monsters, were in an uproar again. The slightly more rational ones mocked the others, but secretly wanted to take one home themselves.

"I suggest you don't get too close."

"What?"

A Lie, for the sake of the live stream viewers and to satisfy his own curiosity, moved a little closer.

By the time Liang Xing warned him, it was already too late.

"Thief! Stay away from the little babies!"

Lightning Bolt!

Zzzzzzz—

The sound of electricity grew closer, and Choromon jumped out of the phone to try to stop it. As a result, the current changed direction, and A Lie barely escaped.

"Elecmon!" Liang Xing shouted, and the subsequent attack stopped.

It was a red Digimon with blue markings, nine tails, and a frog-like body.

Because Liang Xing had added the underlying logic of protecting Digital Eggs and Baby Digimon to it, A Lie was attacked.

--When other Digimon are born, if the conditions are met, they also have a certain probability of acquiring the underlying logic of protecting Digital Eggs and Baby Digimon.

This is also why Liang Xing's partner Digimon also follow the rules of the Digital World.

Randomly increasing or decreasing things would only lead to chaos in the Digital World, something Liang Xing didn't want to see.

But as the holder of the highest authority, Liang Xing's partner Digimon had a better environment for growth, such as the Digital World.

Moreover, Liang Xing's orders could temporarily eliminate Elecmon's hostility.

This didn't involve modifying the underlying logic, purely a privilege as the creator.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

Digimon themselves are born from data, and A Lie's livestream was full of comments about stealing Digital Eggs, so it was no wonder Elecmon attacked mercilessly, using its special move directly.

Fortunately, due to embarrassment, he hadn't interacted with the viewers in the livestream through Choromon via email, so he was able to protect his master in time.

Elecmon didn't want to hurt Choromon, so A Lie was spared from fatigue.

A Lie reacted quickly too.

From a few words, he knew he had made a taboo, quickly moved away from the Digital Egg, and apologized.

Elecmon bared its teeth at him, but due to Liang Xing's orders, it didn't attack again.

'This is so cute! Let me take it away!'

'Elecmon, right? I've got my eye on you!'

'Steal it! Steal it!'

A Lie had experienced the Digimon's attack, and that feeling of fatigue was really unpleasant.

So after realizing what he'd done, he was indeed scared into a cold sweat, but the viewers in the livestream didn't feel it as strongly.

They cared more about Elecmon's appearance and strength.

The electric current attack was cool, so what if A Lie got beaten up a bit?

He wouldn't die anyway.

For the sake of the show, it was completely understandable!

Making money!

Nothing shameful about it!

"Hi~ Elecmon, these are the helpers I found."

Liang Xing didn't care how lively A Lie's livestream was, and started the planned activity on his own.

——Qidian Village Defense War!

A group of Goblinmon had their eyes on the Digital Eggs in Qidian Village. Liang Xing received a request for help from Elecmon and brought helpers to Qidian Village in the name of an autumn outing.

This was the main theme of the reality show.

"Is he really not a bad guy?" Elecmon still stared warily at A Lie, or rather, at the phone he was using for the livestream.

"That kind of idiot can't be a bad guy." Qian Lai replied with a smile. When Elecmon looked at him, he even waved his hand deliberately.

"Who's an idiot! Hey!"

"Uncle A Lie is silly." Qi Tian shook his head, sighed, and Lian Jin and Ning Jing nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Elecmon. He's not a bad person."

Liang Xing had seen A Lie desperately protect Qi Tian and the Goblinmon.

This kind of personality, willing to challenge unknown monsters to protect children he'd only known for a few months, was destined not to be bad.

"I believe you." Elecmon nodded solemnly, and then began to explain the specific situation.

The danger came from a group of Goblinmon, the exact number of which was still uncertain.

Elecmon had just left for a while to drive away the Goblinmon, but the other side had the advantage in numbers, so Elecmon had been unable to completely eliminate them.

The mission for A Lie and the others was simple: eliminate all the Goblinmon and protect the safety of Qidian Village.

Due to the needs of the program, Liang Xing divided the eight people into two teams, with A Lie and Qian Lai each leading three children.

As for Liang Xing and the rest of the camera crew, as well as the prop team that was already hidden in the village, they would not participate in the activity.

These Goblinmon were originally prepared for the Digivice internal beta test, so Liang Xing certainly wouldn't participate.

If they couldn't evolve during the activity, a group of In-Training Digimon like them wouldn't be able to defeat the Goblinmon~

Thank you all for the recommendation votes! Thanks for the support!
