"You might as well give up on this kind of world early on. The plot is unoriginal and too dark. Novels are meant for readers to pass the time and relax. This kind of world will only make you feel depressed."
Yin Wanqing said as she flipped the grilled fish on the grill.
All the superhumans in this world, regardless of their background, were thrown into the Ling Realm by Ling Yi, leaving only the Protagonist Lu Yun to continue causing trouble. Then, he created World Passage and pulled Yin Wanqing over.
Ling Yi took a sip of beer, half-reclined next to Yin Wanqing, and looked at the distant sky, saying, "Have you noticed that we're getting busier and busier, and more and more tired?"
What are you trying to say?
I want to take a vacation!
Yin Wanqing tapped his forehead and said, "You're the Protagonist. If you go on vacation, isn't that like the novel going on hiatus? You absolutely can't start something like that. Don't even think about it."
"I'm tired!" Ling Yi said.
Yin Wanqing suddenly realized that it wasn't Ling Yi was tired, but rather the author, the Uncle, who was tired.
Come to think of it, the Uncle wasn't a professional online novelist. He started writing novels simply because he was bored and had nothing to read, so he decided to write novels to pass the time.
He probably never imagined that his novel would give birth to a real world and become intertwined with Ling Yi.
The Karma between Ling Yi and the Uncle is already entangled, and it can't be stopped just because you want to.
As long as the Uncle continues writing, Ling Yi will have to keep traveling through time.
Conversely, as long as Ling Yi keeps traveling through time, the Uncle will have to keep writing. If Ling Yi doesn't stop, the Uncle can't stop either.
None of them can stop now.
But neither Ling Yi nor the Uncle seemed to notice this.
To break this barrier, Ling Yi would need to Boundary Breaking.
Judging from the current situation, Boundary Breaking will not be easy.
The accumulated Karmic Luck in the Ling Realm is too little, Boundary Breaking seems a long way off.
Her own plan still needs a crucial milestone to complete the loop, but this milestone can only be achieved if the Protagonist, Ling Yi, is unaware of it.
It's simple in some ways, and difficult in others.
It's simple because Ling Yi will eventually travel to one of the worlds that can trigger the nodes.
It's difficult because it's unknown when Ling Yi will encounter it.
All Yin Wanqing can do now is to continuously increase the probability of the node being triggered and shorten the time.
In fact, Yin Wanqing had already conducted tests before this, using the Power of Laws of the Ling Realm as a fulcrum and the popularity of the novel as a bridge, attempting to guide the readers' consciousness into the Ling Realm.
It can only be said that we've succeeded halfway.
The Laws Beyond the Boundary are like stagnant water, virtually unshakeable.
Yin Wanqing can only guide the reader's consciousness when the reader is completely unprepared, and can briefly project the reader's consciousness into the Ling Realm.
Under what circumstances would a reader let their guard down? To put it simply, it's when they're sleeping, in their dreams.
But this is not what Yin Wanqing wanted. How can a reader have an experience Mengmeng Ling Realm, and it's a vague dream at that?
Even Yin Wanqing was unable to communicate with the consciousness projected from the reader.
There's nothing she can do about not having enough popularity.
Sometimes Yin Wanqing felt helpless. After all, the Uncle wasn't a professional writer, and his novel had too many plot holes. Uncle only cared about his own writing pleasure, but writing pleasure and reading pleasure are two different things.
This is a common problem among many online novel authors.
Boundary Breaking using laws is even more difficult. Ling Yi's current laws have already reached a Limit, and going any further is extremely difficult.
Rather than hoping for the laws to Boundary Breaking, it's better to hope for the Karmic Luck through the Boundary Breaking.
"The reason I'm so tired is because there's a contradiction," Yin Wanqing said.
"What's the meaning?"
"If Uncle novels lose popularity, we'll all disappear, right?"
Ling Yi nodded.
"But have you ever thought about what would happen if the novel became too popular?"
Ling Yi curled his lip and said, "Tch, do you think that's possible? The Uncle' author you're talking about doesn't have that level of skill, and his popularity is too high? That's just wishful thinking. Believe me, that day will never come."
"I'm just saying, hypothetically, if the novel becomes too popular, do you think readers will allow us to Boundary Breaking?"
" Boundary Breaking is like just quitting. Protagonist of a novel is gone, what's the point of reading it?"
"The reader's will is also part of the World Rule."
Ling Yi blinked, looked at Yin Wanqing and laughed, "Are you stupid? Hehe, I suddenly realized that you can also be stubborn."
"Isn't that right?" Yin Wanqing said, dissatisfied.
Ling Yi lay down directly, placing one hand behind his head, and said, "If I Boundary Breaking, I'll give every reader a cheat code, and then let them freely choose their favorite world to travel to."
"I think readers would much rather see the Protagonist of the novel come to life in real life."
Ling Yi sighed and said, "Unfortunately, it seems like it's a long way off."
Yin Wanqing's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something. She took out the World Traversal Radar, pressed a few buttons, and then kissed Ling Yi.
"Hey, you're launching Sneak Attack, aren't you?" Ling Yi laughed.
"I suddenly understand some things."
"Then tell me!"
"I can't say!" Yin Wanqing said with a grin.
"Are you afraid of being discovered by the author again?"
Yin Wanqing nodded.
Ling Yi shrugged and said, "We're trying to fool the author every day? Do you think the author won't notice?"
"If I don't tell, the Uncle won't know."
What would happen if I told them?
"If I tell you, the Uncle will misunderstand, and then you, the Protagonist, will be in trouble," Yin Wanqing said with a smile.
"Then forget it!"
In the new world!
Inside a student apartment in the university town of the Xincheng District.
Ling Yi ate his ice cream while looking at the... Protagonist in front of him.
" Ling Yi, why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Feng asked, scratching his head.
"I always feel like there's something strange about you, but I can't quite put my finger on why!" Ling Yi said with a shrug.
Ling Yi and Ye Feng shared this apartment.
Ling Yi is a cartoonist. The original owner of this body suffered from depression and burned charcoal in this apartment. After Ling Yi transmigrated, he took over his identity.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, was a recent college graduate with a degree in Computer Software Engineering, and he was the kind of student with outstanding academic performance.
But after graduation, Ye Feng didn't go out to look for a job; instead, he studied... magic.
That's right, it's not magic, it's sorcery.
Just a few days ago, Ye Feng obtained a cheat code.
The Strongest Mage System.
However, the system is currently inactive. To activate the cheat, you must create your own magic and name it after the magic.
But this world has no Magic Element, nor any corresponding magical rules.
That's not the point. The point is that his cheat system was originally supposed to be called the Strongest Magician System, and the activation task was originally to create a magic trick and name it after magic.
It was the person who created the cheat code who was careless and mistakenly changed magic into sorcery.
This is the most outrageous cheat code Ling Yi has ever seen.
Such a cheat code couldn't possibly be activated, right?
However, the Protagonist Ye Feng is unaware of this; he is currently True Unity Sect on creating magic and activating his cheat ability.
Ling Yi did not tell him the truth.
The name of this world is " I'm Enchanted by Magic!"
He was eager to know what the Protagonist, Ye Feng, would do next in a world without magic and with an absurdly flawed system.
How to create magic in a world without magic?
Ling Yi was very... looking forward to it.
Ye Feng was also pondering how to create magic, but after thinking for a long time, he still had no ideas. So he asked Ling Yi, " Ling Yi, do you think magic exists in this world?"
"No!" Ling Yi said firmly.
"If I want to create my own magic, what do you think I should do?" Ye Feng asked again.
"I think you'd better see a neurologist."
"Hey, I'm serious. Of course I know there's no magic in this world, but I want to try, I want to create my own magic."
Ling Yi flicked the popsicle stick into the trash can and asked, "What do you think of my magic?"
Seeing Ye Feng's frustrated expression, Ling Yi clapped his hands and said, "Come on, let's analyze this. Let's put aside whether you're out of your mind or not. Assuming we really want to create magic, we need to understand what magic is first, right?"
Yes, yes, yes!
"But magic doesn't exist in reality, so we can only find the answer in novels or anime."
Ye Feng said helplessly, "That's quite an imagination."
"It's just a wild idea. In online novels or comics, magic is generally divided into two categories: traditional magic and technological magic. Forget about traditional magic, but you could try working on technological magic."
"There are categories?" Ye Feng, somewhat surprised.
"Of course there are classifications. Traditional magic involves using Divine Power to arrange and combine Magic Element in a regular way to achieve various magical effects. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Ye Feng's eyes brightened, and he nodded repeatedly.
"As for technology and magic, it's a bit of a mess, with all sorts of settings. One such setting is to create Magic Factor with different attributes through technological means, and then combine and arrange these Magic Factor to achieve effects similar to magic."
At this point, Ling Yi himself was stunned. If he had enough knowledge, perhaps he could actually come up with magical technology.
"This isn't magic!" Ye Feng shook his head in denial.
His system's task was to create magic, not magic technology.
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'The end of technology is theology'? Of course, if you're going to take it seriously, then there's nothing I can do."
"It's not a matter of being pedantic. Technology is technology, and magic is magic. How can you conflate them?"
OK, perfect, Poerfei, guidance failed.
"So?" Ling Yi asked, shrugging.
"I'm going to create real magic."
"Okay... Good luck."
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he walked towards his room. No one was listening to him; what could he do?
Ye Feng frowned and thought for a long time before deciding to go back to his room and use his Computer to look up relevant information.
Since his system is called the " Strongest Mage System," it must contain magic.
Little did he know, his system itself was a complete disaster.
