Chapter 915 - 915
Chapter 915: The Chaotic Game World
Cheryl, the Anti-Witch, left.
She left very quickly, and I felt like I was being forced to do something, lacking a sense of experience in many things.
Or maybe... I never took this matter seriously?
"Done."
Big Sis Bai released her hands, and a simple hairstyle was born.
Still the natural loose style, but the hair tie fixed the uninhibited personality of the hair strands.
Overall, it looked more exquisite than the hairstyle I usually organized with fixed lesser spells.
Logically speaking, Big Sis Bai, who also likes long straight hairstyles, shouldn't have taken so long.
But this time she deliberately delayed for so long, only reluctantly putting down my hair after that Anti-Witch had left.
"So beautiful."
"Mm, indeed."
Big Sis Bai also nodded.
However, the question that had remained unanswered in her heart for a long time was about to burst out at this moment, "Little Han... why do you like white hair?"
After all, in the Main World, there were few precedents of white hair color being popular.
Its associations and anchors were mostly the white hair of the elderly, that posture of old age and declining strength.
Only Little Han, with this posture, plus powerful strength and influence, started a trend of white color in the Witch Academy.
Previous hair salons never thought students would want to dye their hair white; they didn't even have this dye...
"Maybe... this is an aesthetic engraved in the soul."
A trace of confusion and recollection flashed through my red pupils, then I explained.
Otherwise, I couldn't say this was just an inexplicable XP, right?
"Oh? So mysterious?"
"If I have to say, I just like doing things others don't quite like to do. In the vast crowd, it has distinct personality and differentiation, giving a sense of transcendent mystery, and also symbolic meanings of wisdom, experience, purity..."
"Explaining so seriously, I almost suspect you don't know why yourself, and just made up reasons to brush me off."
Big Sis Bai said with a smile.
Bai Yu could feel the confusion at that moment, and then she understood that liking something perhaps didn't need a reason, but... a feeling.
"No! How could I! The reasons I like it might not be felt by others..."
"Then Little Han, say... if I also dye mine white, would you like it?"
"Eh?!"
I turned around in shock to look at Big Sis Bai, "No no no! I think Big Sis Bai looks great like this! No need to make such a change to cater to me!"
"Alright, not teasing you anymore."
Seeing my intense reaction, Big Sis Bai also dispelled this thought.
Although she was also somewhat curious about what she would look like with silver-white hair like Little Han, since Little Han didn't want her to be like this, she didn't have to.
At most, she would try it when curious.
For a Transcendent Witch, there were many means to change her hair color; it wasn't rare.
***
A few days later, Long in the laboratory finally completed the architecture of her Dream State Order.
According to her, it took longer than she expected.
But even so, the time she spent was still shorter than Big Sis Bai.
With the complete end of the experiment, the Primal Dream State experiment was finally free, and the experimental teams waiting for related experiments immediately lined up.
And before this, the begging for Dream-state Soul-substance materials started again. It could be said they came exactly on time.
After all, currently, pure Dream-state Soul-substance was only produced in my laboratory.
Many witches interested in this thing but having no clue would come to "take shortcuts".
And this also made me realize a problem I had always ignored.
Besides researching its characteristics, what other uses did Dream-state Soul-substance have?
Of course, as research material for researching the Dream-state Soul-substance purification method!
So, this gave me some other ideas.
I had been trapped by the existing "Gestation Purification Method", thinking it couldn't be popularized.
But... since I wanted technology free from Grand Spellbook related technique restrictions, why not let other witches help me do the purification method currently under research?
Do I need exclusive technology?
No, what I want are related preparation techniques, and a large amount of Dream-state Soul-substance!
Although monopoly brings huge profits, what do I need so much profit for?
Or do I lack money?
The problem in thinking is the shackle restricting divergent thinking.
Powerful people are never afraid of others learning from them.
Just like spells, anyone can achieve derivation; the key is just whether they are willing or not.
I'm never afraid of those targeting me in the academy learning professional knowledge, studying spell theory hard, delving into spell derivation, because if such people really did so, they wouldn't be my enemies.
So... for the distribution of this batch of Dream-state Soul-substance, I made an important decision, which was a special gift for purification method research, with only a small part allocated for other characteristic research.
Of course, this process was free.
I only required the sharing of research data.
Some witches also suggested I didn't need to distribute for free.
Currently, the value of Dream-state Soul-substance was immeasurable; at least I should symbolically collect some benefits, otherwise some witches would feel embarrassed to freeload.
But I refused.
You know... free things are the most expensive!
After all, I just shared something temporarily useless to me, yet could gamble for new techniques.
Who is earning more?
So from this point on, I detached myself from the purification method research project.
It really confirmed my previous thought: things that can be entrusted to others really don't need wasting my own time.
However, the handover of related research data and research products was also a troublesome matter.
Processing those research materials also cost me some time, but these were nothing.
And now, I could finally put all my energy on the Fool's Dreams.
"Truly strange. Cheryl clearly said ready, why hasn't there been any movement until now?"
It had been a few days since my clone met that Anti-Witch in Big Sis Bai's villa.
I also put energy into my Reverse Summoning Spell, but there was no movement until now.
Although only a clone of mine was going, not my main body, I still attached quite importance to this action.
For this, I even let this clone come to the laboratory, and I personally perfected some abilities of this clone.
And also gave this clone a storage equipment filled with various things that might be used.
After all... what I'm going to do is invade another world!
After doing these, I came to the side of the Fool's Dreams.
Although I had somewhat neglected the Fool's Dreams during this period, I also took some time every day to accompany them.
This was the only thing I could do currently.
Life experiments are the ones that cannot be rushed the most.
My Great Tree of Knowledge has a large amount of life research data, some shared by unknown witch sisters, some from the library in the past, but more actually popular science.
One passage impressed me deeply, "The beginning of life's gestation, the heart appears on the 21st day, the heartbeat appears on the 30th day, and never stops from then on until death."
This is the limit accessible to "ordinary people" who have never touched the soul level, and also a beautiful depiction of life.
This sentence seems not to explain any profound truth, just describing the birth of an organ on the body, but the meaning it expresses is far more capable of endowing life with the meaning of existence in the world than the indescribable soul concept.
And the traces of life existence.
The current Fool's Dreams possess all concepts that can give birth to life.
What they lack, perhaps... is the first heartbeat belonging to the Fool's Dream.
The sound of blood pulsating is like knocking on the door of this world, timidly asking... can I enter such a big family of life?
"Fool's Blue How do you feel today?"
"Very good today too, Sister Little Han!"
"You are still as energetic as before. You too, right?"
My gaze looked at Fool's Fruit, Fool's Luck, and Fool's Star.
At this moment, their soul postures could gradually no longer be seen, because they were about to be born in the posture of life.
Their consciousness, their souls, and their wisdom... would all bloom in the bodies accordingly.
Currently, their bodies had just developed.
I didn't want to interfere too much in this process.
Or rather, I couldn't interfere.
I have never completely observed the process of a life's birth, so naturally, I cannot know every detail.
This will not only be my first time witnessing the qualitative change of life from 0 to 1, but also the template for Life Evolution technique for the Fool's Dream later.
It allows no reckless modification from me.
"Mm Sister Little Han doesn't need to focus on us all the time. We are very strong!"
Fool's Luck hesitated a bit and spoke.
"Fool's Luck, what are you saying? Being too sensible will make my heart ache! Moreover, I have been liberated from many things now. Your Sister Little Han, I, have more time to accompany you later. I will wait, wait until you become true life."
"Really! That's great!"
The most excited response at this moment was none other than Fool's Luck.
Sure enough... how could Fool's Luck not like my company?
It's just my selfishness doesn't want the Fool's Dreams to be "sensible" so quickly, nor do I want to suppress their nature.
"Yes. Have to say, once idle, there's always an impulse to find something to do. I feel this isn't very good, so I plan to accompany you for the next period of time."
***
Game World.
Pixels flickered with neon-like colors, forming holographic advertisements, decorating this chaotic city.
Aircraft existing in games dragged trails across the noisy streets, and this was just a corner of this turmoil.
Such a grand occasion happened in many cities of this world.
People had no so-called jobs; they enjoyed the last joy of humanity in this crowded world.
They were fearless, advancing against the armed suppression of the Order Keepers.
All armed suppression would only further arouse everyone's anger!
Order Keepers were the "police" of the game world, but they actually maintained the order of the world more, by means of absolute force...
Since the birth of this profession, it stood on the opposite side of all ordinary people, and was also the most direct means of suppression by the upper society on the lower class.
They had the world's most powerful weapons and terrifying deterrence.
Ordinary people dared not even look directly at the weapons held by the other party.
Because that represented ruthless death.
Until social conflicts reached the very top... until a group of people who no longer feared death gathered together.
Their spirit moved every oppressed person, making them walk out of their rented rooms to strive for so-called rights.
At that moment, whether selfish people just for themselves, or people joining the fun, or people seeking justice, or people swept by the crowd... every step they took forward contributed to the situation the oppressors feared most.
Those in power cursed the shameless atrocities of this group of pariahs.
And the direction they were heading was the Infinite Group branch, the most futuristic sci-fi in this city.
Setting off this turmoil affecting nearly the entire city was the "Truth Protection Association".
Almost every city had such an organization.
Just a while ago, such organizations were defined as anti-social and anti-human evil organizations by the Infinite Group Myriad Worlds Terminal headquarters, but this further stimulated the dissatisfaction of ordinary people.
Members of this association covered people from all fields of society: hackers, engineers, artists, urban drifters, ordinary citizens, and... the largest base, game players!
Games, in this world, were not synonymous with neglecting proper duties.
It was more like a final profession, a safety net for all surplus labor in this world.
For an existence like the Truth Protection Association, they were a spiritual symbol of a group brave enough to raise the flag of rebellion against this society.
The biggest conspiracy theory in society was that those game worlds were products of Myriad Worlds Terminal's colonial development and invasion of other worlds.
But the official side wouldn't admit this.
Any guess without solid evidence was labeled as a conspiracy theory.
And the Infinite Group defining the Truth Protection Association as an anti-human and anti-social organization was an affirmation of their efforts!
They frantically used the technology they mastered to spread such iron-clad conjectures on the world internet, resonating with everyone who agreed with their philosophy.
At this moment, whether truly agreeing or just watching the fun, it didn't matter anymore, because they had already facilitated this general trend, and no one could stop it.
Those remarks and posts shaking the foundation of the game world couldn't be finished even if deleted.
From online to the city at this moment, every place with oppression echoed with calls for resistance.
They had no weapons, but they had the courage to resist.
The crowd surged onto the streets like a tide.
They held homemade weapons and tools seen everywhere, faces full of excited flush.
That was the body's natural reaction under emotional resonance, the instinct of resistance rising under the confrontation of Order Keepers.
"Make way! Spread out a bit!"
"Quick! Make way! Don't get injured by mistake!"
Accompanying somewhat noisy sounds, several garbage trucks reversed onto the wide street, with mottled dirt sticking to the rear, even emitting a strong stench.
Seeing this situation, the Order Keepers felt terrible all over.
