The next moment, Xia Yan suddenly frowned and couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise -

——In the "copy" world, the summoning-type sound corpses he had practiced were all independent afterimages after they appeared, but the transformation-type sound corpses would "cover" themselves, which would allow the user to gain a sense similar to the afterimage after the transformation.

But after the two mechanical arms of [No Return Fallacy] appeared, Xia Yan realized that his spiritual consciousness sent the "thought" to the arms, causing them to make a fist, and it seemed that part of the arm also synchronized with it... Hmm, feeling?!

It was an indescribable strange feeling.

It was as if there was some kind of invisible 'water' in every corner of this room, outside the room, and the outside world.

The two robotic arms seem to be placed in a vast ocean formed by the invisible "water".

And there are more than two robotic arms in the invisible 'water'.

There are many more things in this ocean.

The one closest to me is...

...Following this feeling, Xia Yan shifted his gaze and saw an LCD screen, which was the TV installed in the hotel room.

In an instant.

A flash of inspiration emerged in his mind.

"Wait, no way?!"

Xia Yan showed a look of suspicion.

Then, he sat cross-legged on the bed in the room, maintaining the output of mana to keep the two huge mechanical arms suspended in the air. While staring at the TV, he put his consciousness into the sound corpse and carefully felt it.

After half an hour.

Xia Yan was shocked.

It was at this moment.

Brush it.

Without anyone touching the remote control, the TV turned on automatically and the LCD screen lit up.

"What the hell...cyber hacker?!"

Second copy: 25. The copy is open again (update 1)

The so-called cyber hackers... please refer to Cyberpunk 2077 or Cyberpunk Edgewalker for details. If you really don’t understand, please go to Baidu yourself.

In short, Xia Yan found that he seemed to be able to seamlessly play the role of a cyber hacker, and he could indeed turn on the TV through the air with just a "thought" or "eye contact" without using a remote control.

Even under Xia Yan's gaze, the TV automatically started switching channels, popping up a display to increase and decrease the volume, etc., which required remote control.

When he got tired of it, he swiped it again, and the LCD screen instantly turned black and the TV turned off automatically.

Then, Xia Yan stood up from the bed and looked around the hourly room. Through the two mechanical arms of [No Return Fallacy] manifested by the magic weapon, he could feel the invisible "water", and he could also sense the vast ocean composed of this "water", and everything in the "water".

He now knew what this invisible "water" and the vast ocean composed of this "water" were.

That is data, signal, information, network...

Normal humans can only interact with it with the help of tools, but the two robotic arms are part of the "Fallacy of No Return", and this mecha is a subroutine constructed by the core AI of a supercomputer system.

Therefore, [Fallacy of No Return] is not only a humanoid combat mecha, but also a "shrunken" version of a supercomputer that can construct an alien space with data and conduct civilization sandbox simulations. Putting it in an ordinary 21st century is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

For example: the computing power of modern mobile phones far exceeds that of the most advanced computers in the entire scientific research community around the 20s. The gap between the two is more than half a century. A touch-screen mobile phone that is now available everywhere and costs only a few dollars is completely unimaginable for Zenith Technology more than half a century ago.

The gap between this mysterious supercomputer and modern technology in the 21st century is immeasurable.

Xia Yan was very skeptical that not only in this ordinary 21st century, but even in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, [The Fallacy of No Return] would be overwhelming.

Using his magical power as a channel and connecting with it with his mind, after clearly understanding the effect of this magic weapon, he can rely on his thoughts and ideas to interfere with the external data, signals, information, and network through the [Fallacy of No Return]...

What are the specific principles and processes of interference?

Excuse me.

Xia Yan was completely confused.

This "cyber hacker"-like function is a pure black box to him. He can only be sure that the more popular the external network becomes and the higher the degree of informatization, the stronger the role of the "fallacy of no return" will be.

Afterwards, Xia Yan conducted some more tests in the hourly room and finally confirmed that the "cyber hacker" function of [The Fallacy of No Return] depends on the scale of the visible afterimage.

Simply put, every part of the humanoid mecha [Fallacy of No Return] can act as an electronic terminal to interfere with and hack into external data, signals, information, networks, etc.

The more complete the appearance, the stronger the effect.

At the same time, because [The Fallacy of No Return] is a magic weapon, Xia Yan can rely on his magic power and mind to connect with it. He can not only give it orders, but also receive some of the information it conveys in return - probably similar to using a fool-operated computer.

At first glance, this seems to have no effect, unless the out-of-control copy matching function of his system sends him to a "copy" world related to Cyberpunk 2077, or throws him into a science fiction world with a not very high level of technology.

Otherwise, if you go to a 'copy' that has little to do with technology, or the overall technological level is not very high, the hidden 'cyber hacker' function of [Fallacy of No Return] will be greatly reduced.

Of course, Xia Yan had already found some ways to use the [Fallacy of No Return]...

...After discovering that every part of the humanoid mecha remnant [Fallacy of No Return] could serve as an electronic terminal, he removed the two overly conspicuous mechanical arms and instead materialized a small section of the two energy ribbons behind the humanoid mecha.

Then, as expected, this energy ribbon can be used to access the Internet without delay, and at the same time serve as a super search engine.

Now he doesn't need to worry about his 'schoolwork' in this new world line.

From then on, all written exams for him were completely open-book.

Besides.

"Perhaps I could even use the computing power of [The Fallacy of No Return] to speculate in stocks..."

Xia Yan thought seriously:

"...This way, I can focus on dealing with the troubles caused by the system's mischief and don't have to worry about real problems?!"

Although this result did not completely solve his dilemma, it at least alleviated a lot of psychological pressure.

……

I don’t know if it’s the psychological impact caused by the reduction of psychological pressure.

Over the next two weeks, Xia Yan's recovery progressed quite smoothly. Not only did he recover his magic power smoothly, but even his injuries healed faster than initially expected. This was evidenced by the fact that after concentrating his attention, the green bar representing "health" that appeared before his eyes was now half full.

During this period, the system's out-of-control copy matching function remained in a 'closed' state, as if it was completely 'damaged'.

This made Xia Yan gradually relax from his anxiety.

Time slowly passed by in this kind of lucky mentality and the feeling that nothing was really a big deal.

Soon, Xia Yan, who returned to his last year of college due to changes in the world line, ushered in the first transition period from late autumn to early winter after his time travel. This also meant that half of the first half of his last year of college had passed, and there were not many days left for him to stay in school.

Regarding this, Xia Yan, who had experienced it once before the world line changed, seemed very calm except for a little bit of nostalgia.

But just as he was feeling sad about the autumn, he continued to recuperate.

It was very abrupt one day, to be more precise, it was a weekend, and the other "brothers" and "sons" in the dormitory went out together again, but he, as usual, declined to go out with these guys to sing karaoke and hang out in the Internet cafe.

[…Sizzle…]

Like the belated soul-calling Buddhist chant, Xia Yan once again heard a sharp electric sound ringing in his ears.

"……Ugh."

His lips moved slightly, and after finally letting out a resigned sigh, Xia Yan forced himself to stay awake, closed the dormitory door as quickly as possible, returned to his bed, lowered the curtains, and sat cross-legged on the bed in the dim light, quietly waiting for everything that was about to happen.

He didn't have to wait long before a distorted box popped up in front of him. However, after seeing the content on the box, Xia Yan's eyes widened and he couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

There was still a bunch of garbled characters on the box, but it was different from the last time. In addition to the two big words "Copy" in the upper left corner and the "Start Matching" button, there was also the "Copy Name" that was displayed after he was teleported to Chengxiao Mountain and entered the "Copy" world last time.

And... there are two of them.

Second copy: 26. Two 'copies' (second update)

Xia Yan stared at the system's copy matching function interface with a blank look on his face.

He remembered clearly that the last time the box in this groove appeared, it was only after he was thrown into Chengxiao Mountain that it displayed the 'copy name' to tell him where he was and hint at the end of the 'copy'.

Moreover, as soon as the box popped up, he was immediately sent to the 'copy' world, without giving him any chance to choose.

Now what's going on?

How come there are two 'copy' worlds?

But he is alone?

They don’t even understand supernatural powers like the second soul and external incarnation.

But it cannot be broken into two parts for use.

As a result, Xia Yan was completely numb and could only stare blankly at the system's copy matching function interface.

a long time.

"what?"

He shuddered, looked left and right, and even lifted the bed curtain to peek outside. For a moment, he wondered if he was having an illusion.

He was not sent to the 'copy' world as he had been last time after the copy matching interface of the system popped up.

Instead, he still sat on his bed.

Then, Xia Yan looked at the system again, and after confirming again and again that he had not been forcibly deported, he didn't know what to say for a while. Subconsciously thinking that the system's copy matching function interface had been in a 'closed' state for the past month, he couldn't help but start to daydream.

"The system...has repaired its out-of-control function?!"

Although he had no idea what the system was after he changed and traveled through the world line, the last time he was suddenly forced to leave the dungeon, it was obviously a sign of loss of control. It was not impossible that the system shut down the dungeon function and carried out maintenance and repairs for a whole month.

The premise is that this is a fairly responsible system, and it definitely does not come from a pigeonhole, but from Xlu.

But is this possible?

If this is really the X-Lu version of the system...

Xia Yan felt his heart becoming excited at this moment.

However, he quickly calmed down and realized another possibility -

——This may not be the Xlu version. The reason why the copy matching function interface that went out of control last time changed may be due to internal or external factors.

Internal factors might be related to him, because compared to a month ago, even though his injuries were only half healed, Xia Yan felt that he could easily kill himself from a month ago.

Even without using Sheng Hai, he has practical experience and a deeper understanding of the cultivation and techniques instilled by the system. He only needs to break off a branch at random and understand himself from a month ago with just one look.

But Xia Yan was not sure whether this could be considered an internal factor.

Next, there are external factors, which are easy to guess. The system's copy matching function took a whole month to "retrieve" a new copy, but because two were obtained at once, it was unable to "actively" make a decision.

Xia Yan pursed his lips.

Regardless of which of the two guesses above is correct, or whether both are correct, or whether neither is correct, it is definitely good news for him now.

That is when he seemed to have a 'choice'.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan concentrated for the first time and looked at the two 'copy names' now displayed on the copy matching function interface box.

[Instance: Ainside/Toussaint - Blood and Wine]

[Instance: Romania/Tulipas - Holy Grail War]

"..."

Xia Yan fell into a long silence.

He had previously suspected that those derivative works of the Ninth Art that disappeared in this new world line before the time travel might have all become "real".

The good news is that he was right again.

The bad news is that the derivative works of the Ninth Art that have become 'real' now seem to be more than just the [second visit] to Mingchao that he visited last time.

If the prefix "Ainside" of the first copy's name was taken out alone, Xia Yan really couldn't think of its specific reference for a while, but the "Toussaint - Blood and Wine" at the end immediately made him realize it.

This is the open world action role-playing game "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" produced by CD Projekt Red.

Ironside is the name given by the Iron Elfs to the fantasy medieval continent of swords and magic and the entire world where the main storylines of the game and novel are located. Toussaint - Blood and Wine is the DLC storyline of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt", which takes place after the main storyline (the bad ending that does not involve Geralt's death) in a duchy called Toussaint.

As for the name of the second copy - there was no need to think too much, Xia Yan recognized it at a glance. This was the F/A Romanian Holy Grail War written by the magical Dongchu, which was criticized by many people and was in the famous Broken Cup War series in the two-dimensional otaku culture circle before the time travel.

To be honest, after realizing the worlds these two 'copies' were in, he didn't want to choose either one.

The world of The Witcher 3 doesn't seem dangerous at first glance, at least on the surface for him as a cultivator. If one uses the danger level in the previous 'copy' world setting to evaluate, a light wave-level attack can wreak havoc there, and a giant wave-level attack would be an irresistible disaster for a kingdom that is still in the medieval stage of cold weapon warfare.

Even warlocks and demon hunters who possess extraordinary powers, unless they are well-known figures, will find it difficult to deal with the Giant Wave class alone. If the Raging Tide class enters, it will simply be a disaster of annihilation. If the Wild Hunt formed by the Ain El elves does not count the White Frost, it is nothing compared to it.
