Evolution Paradise, are you the disaster?

Chapter 853 Chu Xuan's Wisdom

'It must have failed twice; the possibility of it failing once or three times is unlikely.'

Chu Xuan did not communicate directly with Meng Yi. He judged Meng Yi's role in the matter by his own experience.

Intelligent people have an unspoken understanding.

Meng Yi doesn't like impotent, raging, low-IQ gorillas. Chu Xuan's "Exclusive Item: Twin Realms" is a safety net that Meng Yi prepared in advance.

After failing the first playthrough, the second playthrough begins, and a crack appears in the "Exclusive Item: Twin Realms".

Based on this reasoning, Meng Yi's initial safety pin provided him with a total of six chances to make mistakes.

The dungeon was too dangerous. After an emergency risk assessment, Meng Yi, in his second playthrough, determined that six chances of error were unlikely to allow the Zhongzhou team to pass "World 3: Ju-on: Mysterious Revival". This is why they acquired the "Special Item: Parchment".

Chu Xuan organized his thoughts and used the behavioral logic of the "third cycle" to determine the plans and actions he took in the "first cycle" and the "second cycle".

A "first playthrough" is generally a hasty failure.

The "second playthrough" should prioritize risk avoidance and stability, but the failure at the last moment shows that the overly cautious approach is not feasible, and there are unspeakable super monsters blocking the way ahead.

……

"Zheng Zha, go and explain the rules to the new recruits."

Chu Xuan glanced at the huge sum of money, "73 A-level side quests + 146 million reward points," and seeing that Meng Yi was still standing there without any intention of explaining, he understood and ordered the gorilla to step forward and explain.

"Huh? Brother Meng isn't going?"

The gorilla Zheng Zha was taken aback, scratched his head, and asked Meng Yi why he was doing this.

"I'll forget it."

Meng Yi shook his head, keeping his mouth shut and pretending to be invisible, trying his best to avoid provoking the "Main God Space Balance Mechanism" to increase its difficulty.

This is already outrageous. Introducing external variables to increase fault tolerance would require even more ingenuity from Colonel Chu to see any semblance of success. Any attempt to increase the difficulty is harmful to both parties.

"Okay, I'll go then."

Zheng Zha patted the dust off his clothes and walked up to the 13 newcomers, giving a brief explanation of the current situation.

Chu Xuan asked, "Have the 100 reward points arrived yet?"

"No."

It was only after a moment of realization that Zheng Zha realized that the gorilla just felt something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

It wasn't until Zheng Zha saw the "73 A-level side quests + 146 million reward points" lying in his account that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Fuck!"

Zheng Zha shouted, "Where did this reward come from? And so much of it?!"

Zhang Jie: "I have one too."

Zero: "Me too."

Overlord: "I have one too."

Newcomer Qi Tengyi: "I have one too."

Colonel Chu's probing operation involving blasting fish has come to a successful conclusion.

Meng Yi was temporarily excluded, and the remaining 19 people were divided into two categories.

First: He, Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie, Ling Dian, Ba Wang, and Qi Teng Yi, a total of six people, acted together, and it can be confirmed for the time being that they are 'humans', at least the overpowered monsters in the dungeon cannot break through the mechanism of "Main God Space - Reincarnator".

Second: Li Shuaixi, Zhao Yingkong, and the other 13 people are in cahoots. The worst-case scenario is that all 13 of them are 'ghosts'.

Chu Xuan tested the waters by utilizing the underlying logic of the "Main God Space," and the fundamental reason for this trial was that the dungeon monsters were smaller than the "Main God Space."

"What reward?"

Li Shuaixi, a veteran member of the Zhongzhou team, was bewildered. Apart from Qi Tengyi, the other newcomers were equally confused, and their personalities and emotional responses were flawless.

The next moment, the Zhongzhou team split into two distinct camps, each side warily sizing up the other.

"There are pros and cons. The 'third playthrough' was a success; at least it gave me an initial understanding of the distinction between humans and demons."

'If we determine that the 13 of them are ghosts, and then attribute the reasons for the "second cycle" and "third cycle" to Him, the worst-case scenario is that He is growing, learning, and imitating. Therefore, the "fourth cycle" test is unlikely to work.'

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and patiently waited for the light barrier of the main god's great light sphere to disappear.

……

Before long, the light barrier of the giant sphere disappeared, and everything in "World Three: Ju-on: Mysterious Revival," which had been forcibly paused, resumed its flow.

The familiar script is being repeated once again.

Sadako and Kayako, sticking together for warmth, threatened the Central Continent Team, causing the newcomers, except for Zhao Yingkong and Qi Tengyi, to flee in a sorry state.

The veteran members of the Central Continent Team quickly beat the female ghost F2 to her knees, prying open her mouth and extracting a lot of information.

Chu Xuan ordered Li Shuaixi to use his mental power to scan the surroundings. Li Shuaixi, who triggered the "Rule Monster - Formless" mechanism, became "Formless Li Shuaixi" and acquired a new identity within the social framework of "Rule Monster - Formless".

"Prudence is the priority; let's split up and act separately."

Meng Yi sighed, leaving behind two keywords pointing to "Anti-meme" and "Formless" respectively, before departing alone, easily avoiding the "Rule Monster - Massive" mechanic's killing intent. 'He's playing me!'

The conclusion is that the story script hasn't reached the point where Zhao Yingkong "exits" the stage yet.

Chu Xuan glanced warily at Zhao Yingkong, who remained in the group, looking out of place and pretending to be bewildered.

'Speculation Extension: ① The unknown 'He' increasingly believes that 'Main God Space - Reincarnator' possesses extraordinary value.'

'②The unknown "He" is subject to higher-level constraints and must follow rules. This phenomenon arises because "He" is bound by singular or plural counterparts.'

'③The unknown "He" may not be the strongest in "World Three: Ju-on: Mysterious Revival," but he is certainly one of the strongest.'

"Hey! Don't follow us! Or don't blame me for being rude!"

Before Chu Xuan could react, Zheng Zha, Lingdian, and Bawang's reckless F3 couldn't hold back any longer and immediately threatened Zhao Yingkong, who was most likely a 'ghost'.

"?"

"!"

"Shut up!"

Colonel Chu quickly stopped the reckless F3 from attempting to tamper with the script devised by "Wu Xiang".

'Damn it! What a terrible teammate!'

The failure of the first playthrough can most likely be attributed to Zheng Zha, Zero Point, and Overlord.

"The 'Second Cycle's' cautious approach will likely hold until the end of the ten-day deadline. It seems 'Second Cycle Chu Xuan' used rather harsh words to warn the three fools, causing their plan to split up and go their separate ways."

'It was precisely because they stopped causing trouble that Lord Meng Yi was given enough time, leading to the appearance of the "Special Item: Parchment."'

It has to be said that Chu Xuan's intelligence far surpasses the average level of the Central Continent team, and with a bunch of idiots as a contrast, Colonel Chu appears to be far ahead.

……

The members of the Central Continent Team left their residence and obtained the "Residents' Code" from their neighbor, "The Unseen Retired Elder." They then searched the city's maps as a group and discovered something that "did not exist."

"Let's split up."

"Chu Xuan in the third playthrough" made the same choice as "Chu Xuan in the second playthrough", taking Zhang Jie, Qi Tengyi, and Zhao Yingkong with him, leaving the three unstable factors, Zero Point, Overlord, and Zheng Zha, nearby.

'Without the "Special Item: Parchment," if I knew it was a "third playthrough," I would probably strip Zheng Zha, Zero, and Overlord of their protective items to increase my chances of winning. If I knew it was a "fourth playthrough," my approach would be more aggressive; killing all three would be a better option.'

Like a snowball rolling downhill, Chu Xuan was piecing together information at an increasingly faster pace.

"Let's find the new recruits first, and then look for Li Shuaixi."

Colonel Chu issued the action order and pondered what actions to take for the "third time loop" on the way.

The more layers of nested logic, using oneself as a template, the greater the possibility of error. It is difficult for the average person with normal intelligence to achieve Chu Xuan's performance.

More than a dozen newcomers who were assimilated by the "Rule Monster - Formless" still died from touching the "Rule Monster's" mechanism.

'very good.'

Besides the unnamed monsters of equal "Formless" rank, there are also some "Rules-based monsters" of a lower rank.

"The 'Rule Monster - Formless' corrupts, erodes, and assimilates numerous secondary 'Rule Monsters' through a process of quantitative accumulation leading to qualitative change."

Note: This information is highly likely something that "Chu Xuan in the second playthrough" failed to analyze.

Chu Xuan focused his notes on the "special prop - parchment" that had been integrated into his mind, and then, following the old "second cycle - Chu Xuan" action logic, led Zhang Jie, Qi Tengyi, and Zhao Yingkong to find Li Shuaixi.

As expected, the official Ghost Masters, who act as cogs in the machine maintaining social order, make their appearance and invite Zhang Jie and Chu Xuan, who have become 'civilian Ghost Masters,' to join the Ghost Master organization.

Note: This is roughly the point where the "first playthrough" fails, due to the reckless actions of Zheng Zha, Ling Dian, and Ba Wang in disrupting the "script."

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Unable to fight city hall, Chu Xuan had no choice but to lead the three of them to join the Ghost Hunter organization, where they were each assigned a staff dormitory.

……

"Rule Monster: Nightmare at 12:00" makes its debut, and many members of the "Formless Cluster," including "Formless Zhao Yingkong," die silently in this night.

The next morning, Chu Xuan saw the chaotic crime scene next door.

He calmly recorded in the "Special Item - Parchment": 'Note: Zhao Yingkong died on the first night; this person had a significant psychological flaw.'

'Note: This was my speculation... no, it's now confirmed that the "Rule Monster - Formless" is indeed using the deaths of the "Formless Cluster" to subtly erode the remaining "Secondary Rule Monsters."'

How do I complete the "third playthrough"?
① Act according to the behavior logic of the "second cycle" and survive until the end of the tenth day to enter the "fourth cycle".

② Launching new actions could be to erase places that "don't exist"; or it could be to follow the arrangements of the Demon Slayer organization and risk one's life to break the mechanism of the "rule monster".

'To be on the safe side, let's split up...'

To 'find' something that doesn't exist is suicidal; choosing the latter is a slow death. Are the top-tier monsters "uncertain" and "formless"?

'No, we need to add the super-sized monster associated with the "Special Item: Parchment".'
