Infinite Chimera Creation

"Oh, you two have finished? Tell me, what kind of world did you create?"

Yueyan and the young Yuan Yuan exchanged a glance, and the young Yuan Yuan took the lead in introducing his world.

"The world I created isn't particularly advanced in terms of technology, only slightly more advanced than the world I lived in when I was around ten years old. However, considering efficiency, I took this opportunity to also conduct my previous research in this world, and the results were quite good."

Yuan Yuan nodded knowingly. He knew that he valued efficiency highly when he was young and was unwilling to waste any time, so he was not surprised by the other party's choice.

However, while not unexpected, it didn't mean he wasn't curious. Yuan Yuan smiled and asked,

"What topic are you researching? What is it? Can you tell me?"

Of the three people present, Yuan Yuan was pursuing magic, and his research had nothing to do with science. Yue Yan, on the other hand, was pursuing science, but his progress was clearly far ahead of that of the young Yuan Yuan. Under these circumstances, the young Yuan Yuan naturally had no need to hide anything.

Nodding slightly, the young Yuan Yuan explained in his usual cold voice,

"My research topic is mechanical souls, or rather, data souls. Creating powerful machines is not difficult; the difficulty lies in creating machines with souls. Comparing the Fog Fleet with an ordinary fleet will make you understand how big the difference is between machines with souls and those without."

"So when I was creating that world, I deliberately changed the time ratio between the data world and the normal world, hoping that over a long period of time, the data would develop its own soul."

"So far, the results are quite good, and quite a few data life forms have been born. However, compared to the grand data world I envisioned, with the World Tree as its core, the Twelve Royal Knights as its guardians, the Three Archangels responsible for maintaining order, the Seven Demon Lords responsible for disrupting the world and accelerating evolution, and the Dark Zone handling all the discarded data, the current data world is still in its infancy and has many shortcomings."

"Once my envisioned data world is complete, I can create powerful mechanical bodies based on the structure of those data life forms. At that time, I only need to import those data life forms into the mechanical bodies to create powerful mechanical life forms."

Chapter Thirteen was shocking.

"Hmm, using the power of time to create data souls? Not a bad idea."

Nodding approvingly, Yuan Yuan raised a finger and said with a slightly serious expression,

"Although it may be a bit redundant for you, I still want to remind you that after this matter is over, you must remember to study data souls carefully and master the reliable methods for creating data souls. The method of accumulating data souls over time is useful, but relying on external things is ultimately unreliable."

Although he was speaking to the young Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan was looking at Yueyan when he said the last part.

Although young Yuan Yuan was unaware of the conversation between Yueyan and Yuan Yuan before he woke up, and was unaware that Yueyan had lost her independent research ability because of Nobita, he immediately guessed what had happened to Yueyan by listening to Yuan Yuan's words and observing his actions.

Glancing sideways at Yueyan, the young Yuan Yuan's lips curled into a malicious smile. He sneered and replied,

"Don't worry, I definitely won't make such a basic mistake."

Provoked by the young Yuan Yuan's disdainful attitude, Yue Yan immediately flew into a rage, pointing at the young Yuan Yuan and shouting loudly,

"Hey brat, what did that sneer of yours mean? You got a problem with me? Want to fight? Want me to beat you up again? And you, Yuan Yuan,"

Then, Yueyan turned her attention to Yuan Yuan, and complained angrily.

"What did you mean by that? I just don't know how to do independent research anymore. After getting the finished product from Nobita, I will study the principles and processes carefully and master the manufacturing method myself. Don't make it sound like I'm completely useless!"

"You've stopped doing independent research, haven't you?"

Before Yuan Yuan could speak, the young Yuan Yuan seemed to speak first. Glancing sideways at Yue Yan, this cold-faced young man miraculously conveyed a mocking expression with his icy demeanor, making Yue Yan, who had just exposed his weakness, even more furious.

Seeing that Yueyan might explode if the conversation continued, Yuan Yuan stepped forward and proactively changed the subject he had initiated.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Moon Rock, what kind of world did you create? Tell me about it."

With an annoyed snort, Yueyan pointed to the [Genesis] scroll placed behind him and said,

"Although the world I lived in when I was a child wasn't very advanced either, I definitely couldn't stand living in that kind of world again. Even if I sealed my memories back to my childhood, I wouldn't feel anything was wrong in my consciousness, but my physical memories would definitely be biased. So the technology level of my world is more advanced than that brat's, right?"

It seems that because of what just happened, Yueyan changed her way of addressing the young Yuan Yuan from "he" to "brat," and it's hard to tell whether that's a positive change or a transformation.

"Is it more advanced than the 21st century? Come to think of it, I've never been to a technologically advanced world. Let me see what a high-tech world is like."

With a smile of interest, Yuan Yuan walked up to the world created by the moon rock and began to observe it closely.

"Oh? Thanks to this thing called the [Neural Connection Device], ordinary people's lives have become so convenient. But with such a high level of technology, it's surprising that there aren't any advanced weapons. It's a distorted peace. This must be the result of your manipulation, Moon Rock. Otherwise, given the nature of humanity, how could weapons development lag behind the development of civilian technology?"

Yueyan nodded, confirming Yuan Yuan's guess.

After all, this world was prepared by Yueyan for himself to awaken his madness. When he enters this world, he will seal most of his memories and all his physical abilities. At that time, apart from having a slightly strange mind, he will be just an ordinary child and will no longer be able to control this world.

If humanity in this world were to acquire a large number of highly destructive weapons, given the unpredictable nature of human nature, the higher-ups might launch a war and use these weapons after the Moon Rocks enter the world.

Although Moonrock has a whole host of safety measures in place to ensure that he won't be killed by those weapons even if he's sealed away, his plan to awaken his madness would definitely be affected if war really broke out, which is something Moonrock simply cannot tolerate.

Therefore, when he created this world, he made some slight modifications to achieve what Yuan Yuan called a "distorted peace".

"Hmm? This is..."

Suddenly, Yuan Yuan seemed to see something that surprised him. His eyes flashed with an icy blue magical light as he examined it closely.

"Thinking speed is accelerated, and by a thousand times!! It can actually accelerate the thinking of ordinary people by a thousand times, and it won't damage the fragile brains of ordinary people. It's incredible."

When the young Yuan Yuan altered the flow of time between the data world and the material world, he wasn't surprised, because he had done so by directly manipulating the world's rules through the [Genesis], and he could only do so within the world of this [Genesis].

However, the thousandfold acceleration of thought that Yuan Yuan is witnessing is achieved through an electronic program, not through Genesis. This indicates that Moon Rock can achieve this kind of thought acceleration not only within Genesis but also in other worlds.

Of course, the key point is not "a thousand times faster thinking", but "ordinary people can also have a thousand times faster thinking".

Back in the world of Bleach, Yuan Yuan was able to accelerate his thinking speed by linking with a large number of thought cores, but that was because his physical strength was strong enough to withstand the acceleration load. If an ordinary person tried to use this method, their brain would definitely be fried on the spot.

Upon hearing Yuan Yuan's words, even the young Yuan Yuan couldn't help but show a surprised expression, looking at Yue Yan in disbelief. It's important to know that the human brain is very fragile; normally, even accelerating it by fifty times, let alone a thousand times, is enough to damage an ordinary person's brain.

Noticing the change in young Yuan Yuan's gaze, Yue Yan puffed out his chest, smiled proudly, and explained,

"Madness is clearly not something easy to awaken. At least I've never seen it before I met you, Yuan Yuan. I thought that something so rare must take a long time to awaken, so I created this thing that can make use of time a thousand times faster. How about that? Isn't it amazing?"

"Ah, it's truly astonishing. Accelerating one's thoughts a thousand times is something even a mid-level mage capable of easily destroying a city can't do, yet you've popularized it among ordinary people. How can I put it? It really amazes me."

Yuan Yuan's quick reply made Yue Yan feel awkward. After all, accelerated thinking was nothing special for them, and he was prepared to be ridiculed by Yuan Yuan. He hadn't expected Yuan Yuan to offer such high praise, and for a moment, Yue Yan was at a loss for words, only able to blurt out something without thinking.

"It's nothing. Science and magic are different. Magic is not easy to popularize, but it is suitable for enhancing individuals. Science is the opposite; it is easy to popularize. It's not surprising that it has achieved this level."

P.S., just wondering, do you guys think "Young Yuan Yuan" sounds awkward or uncomfortable? If so, I'll change the name of Young Yuan Yuan. [Ah, I'm reminded of my pathetic naming skills again. If you support changing the name, please give me a few suggestions.] Also, please vote with your monthly tickets. Monthly tickets reset at the beginning of the month, so please vote if you have any.

Chapter Fourteen: Enough with the chit-chat, let's get started (Happy New Year, everyone!)

Yuan Yuan nodded noncommittally at Yueyan's words. He was naturally aware of the difference between magic and science. He knew that the difference between the two was not only due to the different levels of popularization of science and magic, but also because of the different depths of their research.

This difference in research depth is due in part to Yueyan having Nobita's "cheat code," and in part to the significant age gap between the two. Yueyan is much older than Yuan Yuan, so his accumulated knowledge and experience are naturally far greater.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Your world is well-built, but I still need to make some minor modifications."

Yuan Yuan clapped his hands and said with a smile.

Upon hearing Yuan Yuan's words, Yue Yan didn't react much. After all, this world was created by him to awaken his madness, and he didn't mind being modified by Yuan Yuan, who had already mastered madness.

But the young Yuan Yuan was different. The world he created wasn't just for awakening his madness; it was also for accumulating and observing data souls. If he could, he wouldn't even let anyone see it, let alone allow it to be altered.

Although the young Yuan Yuan's expression was as cold as ever, seemingly unchanged, those who had experienced this age could naturally see his unwillingness.

With a smile, Yuan Yuan offered no explanation. He placed his hand on the world created by the moon rock and, without using the scepter that came with the Genesis and could control the rules of the world, directly invoked his own power to transform that world.

During the transformation, Yuan Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but the light in his hand kept changing, sometimes red, sometimes blue, sometimes silver, going through all the colors that the human eye could observe before stopping.

Seeing the light emanating from Yuan Yuan's hand, the Moon Rock, whose soul had already been strengthened through various means, was naturally unaffected.

However, the young Yuan Yuan suffered from a lack of accumulated experience. As the light in Yuan Yuan's hand changed, his emotions fluctuated constantly, sometimes filled with anger, sometimes with hatred, and sometimes with longing. Even if he looked away from the hand, this influence could not be eliminated. If it weren't for his strong will, he might have suffered a mental breakdown in a short time.

"Hey, all done."

With a light laugh, Yuan Yuan withdrew his hand. Yue Yan hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to see what the world Yuan Yuan had transformed into. Although the young Yuan Yuan also wanted to see, he was busy adjusting his emotions and calming himself down, and had no energy for it.

"Hmm? Nothing's changed. Yuan Yuan, what exactly did you modify..."

He abruptly stopped mid-sentence. Yueyan stared wide-eyed at the mechanical virtual body in the game world, dressed in crimson and resembling a Western cowboy, who, after shouting "Hit me!!", actually broke through his set data limits and sniped his enemy from an extremely long distance. He was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

"I've already said it, I'm the expert when it comes to manipulating emotions."

Seeing Yueyan's surprised expression, Yuan Yuan smiled with satisfaction and explained,

"I don't understand your scientific formulas, so I just conceptually gave the program a [Enchantment]. The enchantment effect is very simple: when the user of this program experiences extreme emotional fluctuations, they can overwrite data with their thoughts and break the data's limitations. By the way, let's call this enchantment the [Mind System]."

In fact, the principle behind the enchantment Yuan Yuan used comes from a very famous magic spell: the Reality Marble. A Reality Marble can materialize the user's mental landscape, relying on a large amount of magical power and a strong will to overwrite reality, placing extremely high demands on the user.

The [Mind System] is essentially a simplified, weakened, abridged, or incomplete version of the [Realistic Marble]. It cannot affect the real world at all; it can only overwrite the game world made up of data.

Correspondingly, the requirements for users of this system are greatly reduced. Even ordinary people without any magic can use it as long as they have a strong enough will and a large enough emotional fluctuation.

After listening to Yuan Yuan's explanation, Yueyan nodded in understanding and exclaimed in admiration.

"Indeed, given my personality, even if I had a thousand times more time after sealing my memories, I probably wouldn't use it to study something as inexplicable as emotions. Instead, I would continue to study energy along my original path of growth. But with this mind system, I will definitely take the initiative to study and amplify my emotions because of its convenience and my curiosity. This will greatly increase the possibility of awakening madness."

Upon hearing this, the young Yuan Yuan understood the importance of Yuan Yuan's modifications and no longer resented Yuan Yuan's alteration of the world he had created. Seeing the change in his attitude, Yuan Yuan smiled, said nothing, walked to the world he had created, observed it for a moment, and then placed his hand on it.

However, this time, the light flashing in Yuan Yuan's hand was much less than before, and it ended very quickly.

Seeing this, the young Yuan Yuan frowned slightly and said coldly,

"If you cut corners because you were angry about my previous criticisms of you, I can apologize."

He gave him an amused look, then Yuan Yuan gave a wicked smile, waved his hand, and said...

"Don't worry, you provided me with a lot of fun in the last world. I wouldn't stoop to betraying you over such a small doubt. Your world is different from Moon Rock's, so the way you handle things will naturally be different too. Come and take a look."

As he spoke, Yuan Yuan stepped aside, allowing the young Yuan Yuan, whose face was even colder, to come and see for himself.

Recalling how he had been tricked several times before, the young Yuan Yuan glared coldly at Yuan Yuan before quickly walking to his own world and observing it.

He stared at it for a full ten minutes, but the young Yuan Yuan couldn't find anything different about this world. He wanted to ask Yuan Yuan, but seeing the mocking smile on the other's face, he knew that asking would be pointless.

Left with no other option, young Yuan Yuan picked up the scepter that came with his Genesis and began to observe using its built-in functions.

Previously, neither Yuan Yuan nor Yue Yan used the scepter when observing the world. Now, the young Yuan Yuan has to use the scepter, which naturally makes him inferior to them.

Gritting his teeth and suppressing his resentment, young Yuan Yuan then focused intently on his observation.

With the help of the scepter, he quickly realized what changes Yuan Yuan had made.

"A few old-fashioned watches, a few crudely designed badges, and that's all you gave me? And you're saying you didn't rip me off?"

Turning his head, the young Yuan Yuan gritted his teeth and stared at the grinning Yuan Yuan, questioning him resentfully.

Yuan Yuan's malicious smile deepened. He shook his head and said, feigning helplessness,

"So, ignorance is a terrible thing. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would harm others?"

Young Yuan Yuan's lips twitched, and he swallowed the words that almost escaped his lips: "Aren't you one too?" He waited for Yuan Yuan to continue.

Seeing that young Yuan Yuan wasn't taking the bait, Yuan Yuan, who was hoping to use this opportunity to trick him again, curled his lip in dissatisfaction, scoffed, and continued,

"Whether it's a watch or a badge, both can convert emotional fluctuations into data. In other words, as long as you have a data beast partner by your side, the more intense your emotional fluctuations, the more data you can provide to it, allowing it to evolve to a higher level. How about that? Doesn't that really motivate you to study emotions?"

This technology, which transforms emotions into data, actually comes from the Magic Furnace. However, one transforms emotions into higher-level elements, while the other transforms emotions into data. The difference between the two is significant.
