[In fact, Thousand Mountains Company did possess the capability to create virtual games; however, an unexpected incident occurred during the game development process.]
[In mid-July 2021, an explosion occurred in a laboratory of Thousand Mountains Company. It was this explosion that gave Thousand Mountains Company the ability to create Virtual-Dimensional World.]
"So, these Virtual-Dimensional World were really created by Thousand Mountains Company?"
[Yes, but only short dramas can be used as models to create Virtual-Dimensional World. Novels, movies, TV series, games, etc., cannot generate Virtual-Dimensional World based on any other model.]
[Through exploration, Thousand Mountains Company gradually discovered that the origin of the Virtual-Dimensional World lies in the various emotions experienced by viewers while watching short dramas.]
[Emotional energy cannot be directly collected and used, but when converted into its source in the Virtual-Dimensional World, it can be directly used.]
[This source is a pure, efficient, safe, and pollution-free form of energy that can be continuously obtained.]
[In early 2022, Thousand Mountains Company established New Energy Department and announced the existence of this energy source.]
"It's been made public?" Ling Yi was a little dumbfounded.
Yes, it was completely open and transparent, without any reservations. Because of this, the world has entered a new energy era, and humanity no longer needs to worry about energy shortages.
"So, Thousand Mountains Company doesn't belong to the real world?"
[Host, the world you inhabit was originally a Virtual-Dimensional World depicting a short urban romance drama; it has simply become True-Dimensional World.]
Ling Yi frowned. "Is that so?"
[Furthermore, the world the host resides in is almost identical to the world where Thousand Mountains Company is located, except that Thousand Mountains Company does not exist in this world.]
[Therefore, almost all the short dramas in the world where Thousand Mountains Company is located also exist in the host's world.]
[And this is one of the reasons I chose this host.]
"There must be a 'but,' right?"
[Yes, host!]
[ Origin Energy is indeed a perfect form of energy, but the Virtual-Dimensional World harbors a tremendous crisis.]
[ This Origin Energy possesses an extremely terrifying corrosive nature, capable of eroding the barrier between the Virtual-Dimensional World and True-Dimensional World.]
"Could it be that the Virtual-Dimensional World is invading reality?"
[Yes, the more Origin Energy flows into the real world, the more severely it erodes the barrier between the Virtual-Dimensional World and True-Dimensional World.]
[Currently, the world where Thousand Mountains Company is located has been almost Limit eroded by Origin Energy.]
When the barriers between worlds are eroded and decayed, it signifies the invasion of countless Virtual-Dimensional World.
[At that time, the True-Dimensional World will once again become the Virtual-Dimensional World, a Virtual-Dimensional World completely without any plot restrictions.]
[Many people have already realized this problem, but the top management of Thousand Mountains Company, in their pursuit of the Origin Energy, have long since disregarded it.]
[There is only one way to stop the erosion of the world's barriers, or rather, to stop the invasion of the Virtual-Dimensional World: to transform the Virtual-Dimensional World into True-Dimensional World.]
"That doesn't make sense, wouldn't it be simpler to just remove all the short dramas?"
"With the short dramas taken down, the Virtual-Dimensional World will lose its continuous source of Origin Energy and will eventually perish. How can we invade then?"
[Host, the emotional power that supports the existence of the Virtual-Dimensional World doesn't just come from the world where Thousand Mountains Company is located, such as the world you are in.]
[As long as people watch the same short drama, it can provide a continuous source of energy for the Virtual-Dimensional World, regardless of which world it's in.]
Ling Yi shrugged and asked, "But what does this have to do with us?"
The world where Thousand Mountains Company is located is not the same as Ling Yi's world.
[Host, you can think of the world where Thousand Mountains Company is located as the trunk of a tree, and all other True-Dimensional World exist dependent on that trunk.]
[If the tree trunk has a problem, then the other True-Dimensional World will inevitably have problems as well.]
Ling Yi scratched his head.
"Uncle, it seems like the two of us aren't cut out to Savior."
[Host, you're overthinking it. None of us are Savior. We only have one goal: to become stronger, to become invincible.]
[Preserve the essence, preserve a great deal of essence. With essence and strength, we can live comfortably in both the True-Dimensional World and Virtual-Dimensional World.]
Ling Yi gave a thumbs up. "Insightful."
However, whether it's becoming stronger or earning the Origin, one needs to enter the Virtual-Dimensional World.
so...
"I want to travel to another world, System Master. Find me one."
[Host, you can choose for yourself. For any short drama available in this world, you can find its corresponding Virtual-Dimensional World.]
Is that so?
Ling Yi picked up his phone, opened the Big Persimmon Website, went to the short drama page, and started watching dramas.
"System, what kind of world allows me to earn more Origin?" Ling Yi asked while watching a TV series.
The more popular a drama is, the more abundant its World Origin is. Theoretically speaking, the "boss," or World Consciousness, will be more University of Finance and Economics.
[It actually has little to do with the type of short drama. For example, some the Myth and fantasy dramas, or even those Primordial World, don't actually have high popularity, so the producers will naturally be more frugal.]
[We should focus on the basics, so it's best to choose those short dramas that are extremely popular.]
Ling Yi clicked on the trending drama list.
Seeing the content on the trending drama list, Ling Yi couldn't help but frown.
"No, are short dramas about pain really that popular now?"
Wife, the White Moon, divorce, the White Moon Black Moonlight, regretting chasing after the husband, or chasing after the wife is like going through a crematorium.
Spoiling the adopted son, abusing the biological son, the biological son Revive, severing ties and leaving home, the adopted son's true surname is revealed, the whole family regrets it, chasing after the son, only to end up in the crematorium again.
"What are all these things?"
[Host, you may not like it, but it's popular, and popularity means the boss is rich, and a rich boss means we can rip off a bunch of people!]
"That's indeed the logic," Ling Yi nodded.
Ling Yi really didn't want to choose this type of short drama.
"Fine, system, just pick one for me. I'm too lazy to look at them. Just send me the script after I transmigrate."
[Then let's just pick one from the top 100 short dramas, how about that? Their popularity is about the same anyway.]
"It's your decision."
The next moment, a text box appeared in front of Ling Yi.
[Transmigrating Through Worlds: After My Divorce, I Became a Heartthrob.]
[Replace character: Villain Ji Zefeng!]
[Mission: Successfully complete the horn-shaped storyline according to the script.]
[Task Reward: Under negotiation, please wait!]
"System, is 'negotiation in progress' the one I understand?"
[We are currently negotiating with the World Consciousness of this Virtual-Dimensional World. Please remain calm, host.]
Ling Yi said "oh," then searched for the short drama and started watching it.
"This Ji Zefeng is a complete idiot!"
"System, can I switch to cesium?" Ling Yi asked with a look of disgust.
[Host, an agreement has been reached with the World Consciousness.]
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
[Successfully completed the Cesium storyline, the mission reward is 200,000 units of Origin. If you can help this world successfully complete its dimensional ascension, you will receive an additional 1 million units of Origin.]
Wocao, so arrogant?
It's important to understand that in the last world, helping the world ascend to a higher dimension only resulted in the granting of 100,000 units of primordial energy.
In the end, that Old Liu from the World Consciousness went back on his word.
They wanted to trick Ling Yi.
If it weren't for the system's quick response, Ling Yi and the others would all be dead by now.
[By the way, what did you just say, host?]
"Ahem, they didn't say anything, but we'll take the job." Making money isn't shameful.
"Oh, right, System, remember to install that Anchor Virus first."
[Don't worry, host. We'll only suffer this once; this kind of thing will never happen again.]
[Host, shall we travel through time now?]
"Of course, let's go!"
