Can the characters in the game come out?
When the mining boy heard this information, he was stunned. He didn't have a high level of education. In today's competitive world, he was no longer eligible to go to university when he was streamed through the high school entrance exam. So after graduation, he would be directly assigned to work in mining. But even so, he had learned basic math and science. He wasn't an illiterate idiot. He just couldn't understand the absurd thing that a game character could come out of the game.
Faced with his doubts, the soldier in uniform patiently explained, "Now everyone is data. The first generation of digital life was formed based on your genes and memories. Later, with the introduction of newborn policies, new technologies were used to extract genetic models from infants and calculate their future growth trajectories, forming new digital life. Why do you think it's absurd for people from the game world to step out into the real world?"
Mining Boy: "."
"To this day, experts still can't explain how games alter the underlying genetic calculations of digital life. But the fact is, once the data here is fully linked to the game world, things inside can come out, because they're all data. And strangely enough, in the materialized Data City, the player's evolved powers can also be manifested, like what you saw before—flying on a sword!"
The mining boy was even more shocked. So the girl who could fly on a sword was from a game?
That wasn't some technology designed by the Data City, but rather a capability brought by the game?
"That's why the Demon World has been identified as an extremely dangerous project Shiyi, especially now!"
"W-What do you mean?" the boy asked, looking completely bewildered.
"Because it's that dangerous," the soldier squinted. "In the fully developed virtual worlds of today, the power systems aren't too exaggerated. Even in the sword-flying game you saw, one person's power is insignificant; an organized force can easily control and suppress it. But this project is different."
"The power of the individual is amplified to an infinite degree, and the designer who originally created this game is known for designing highly difficult monsters. The demons in this game have extremely strong destructive power. If you are not careful, a single demon can grow to the point of destroying a country or even the world. It is an extremely difficult game that is extremely anti-human."
"This is fine in the gaming world, since game difficulty is one of the reasons many players are drawn to it. But if this were to enter the real world, it would be very troublesome. An overly powerful individual means it's difficult to maintain stable group order; chaos is inevitable. And once that world is connected to the Data City, a single monster that wanders out could wipe out the entire Data City."
The young man was stunned. "If it's so dangerous, why develop it?"
"Because the profits are huge enough!" the soldier scoffed. "Developing a new game world requires enormous amounts of energy. That's why even though the nuclear power plants in the real world are a hundred times larger than those in the old world, the electricity supply is still insufficient. The Demon World, in the past tens of thousands of years, has consumed more than ten times the energy of all other projects combined. Even though this project has been rated as extremely dangerous Shiyi, its energy supply has not been cut off. It's because the profits are huge enough that no matter how dangerous it is, the Federation is unwilling to give it up!"
As he said this, a cold glint flashed in the soldier's eyes.
The official explanation states that this project is of great benefit to all of humanity. If successfully mastered, it is estimated that there will be no need to develop new virtual worlds for millions of years to come. The sufficient virtual resources will also drive down the current price of living in virtual worlds, allowing almost everyone to enjoy virtual worlds and improving the overall quality of life.
But is that really the case?
Everyone involved in the plan knew the truth!
How miserable the people below are is never a concern for those above them; the suffering of the common people is always the master's concern.
What they truly care about is not the world's enormous capacity, but rather its unique Samsara system!
The novel is full of stories about cultivation and Samsara, but when you look at all the projects that have adapted it into a game, this is practically the only one!
Theoretically, only this company can achieve immortality!
This is the real reason why this project has been consuming so much energy over the years, yet we've been reluctant to shut it down.
Now, taking advantage of the growing social conflicts and the near saturation of other virtual worlds, some spokespeople for the old elites have started to bring this project back!
"But what does this have to do with me?" the mining boy finally asked the question he was most curious about.
The soldier looked at him but did not answer the question immediately.
This boy was both lucky and unlucky!

"Developer DNA?"
At this moment, the members of parliament from all districts in the parliament hall were shocked by this intelligence, and the scene immediately erupted in excitement. The members who received this intelligence for the first time discussed it very enthusiastically!
Standing on the stage, Wu Xiaoli patiently waited for the councilors to discuss the matter. She knew just how explosive this news was!
There are two reasons why the Demon World is insurmountable!
First: The demons in this world have terrifying talents, making the living environment for ordinary people extremely harsh. Moreover, once the data is connected, it is too dangerous for the things inside to escape, and there is almost no possibility of suppressing them.
Second: The first batch of players who entered had their minds corrupted and completely refused to communicate with them. This made the Federation very worried about the players' stance. Once the two realms were opened, the danger posed by those players might be even more terrifying than demons!
Therefore, to control that world, one must first suppress the players whose power has become too great, but according to intelligence, doing so is virtually impossible.
The first group of adventurers inside had already mastered incredible power, almost monopolizing all the resources of that world. Several player guilds had even banded together to resist the entry of new data from the outside. Now, it was extremely difficult to input digital life without connecting to that world, as each attempt required a large amount of electricity.
Therefore, the entry of new digital life forms must be approached with caution. Given the significant resources required, will they even be of any use?
Judging from the players who joined later in the queue, the results were far from ideal.
The initial players wielded too much power, making it almost impossible for newcomers to turn the tide. Even those who did manage to turn the tide weren't guaranteed to remain on the side of the Federation; the defection rate now appears to be almost 100%.
No matter how loyal a soldier is, almost none of them are immune to temptation once they enter the ranks.
This is also why the project was suspended countless times afterward. Sending people in each time was extremely costly, yet the desired results were never achieved. The higher-ups naturally became more cautious about energy, since energy is becoming increasingly scarce, and such waste could even affect the operation of the Data City.
Just when the higher-ups thought there was no hope left in the world, the Central China Region unexpectedly pulled off such a turn of events!
"The developers' genes?" The Northern Europe Region representative stood up. "How is that possible? The game's designers died before the Cataclysm. Where would you get their genes?"
"We did get it!" Wu Xiaoli sighed. "In fact, we sent the first batch of developers into the game twenty years ago!"
Everyone: "!!!"
Some might ask, if games can change the underlying genetic algorithms, why not just create a new game?
I'll explain this later, but let's not worry about whether the explanation makes sense or not, haha.
