He suddenly exerted force with his palm, and as the star core sank into the boy's chest, Xing raised his hand to cover his heart as if his senses were connected. Looking at the boy who was slowly put down by Kafka, an inexplicable look appeared in his eyes for the first time.
"The protagonist of this world has been born!" Feeling the subtle changes coming from the game world, Yu Qi whispered in his heart.
Chapter 225: Becoming a Star God?
[Kafka: Listen to me: Your mind is in chaos now. You don't know who you are, why you are here, and what to do next; you feel that I am familiar, but you don't know whether you should trust me——
Kafka: - But it doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm leaving and leaving you alone in this space station. So from now on, you don't have to think about the past or doubt yourself anymore.
Kafka: Listen to me: You will encounter many dangers and be in terrible trouble, but you will also encounter many wonderful things. You will have companions who are like family, and you will embark on adventures that you could never have dreamed of...
Kafka: And at the end of the journey, all the puzzles that have been bothering you will be solved.
Kafka: This is the future that Elio foresaw and the future you will reach... Do you like it? 】
[Kafka: Listen to me: remember the feeling at this moment. As long as you have a direction in your heart, you will definitely reach the end of the story.
Kafka: I just like you like this.
Silver Wolf: How long will it take? According to the script, the travelers on the Star Train will be arriving soon, and we shouldn't follow them.
Kafka: I know, Silver Wolf. Just a little while longer. Just a little while longer.
Kafka: The time is almost up, I have to go... Listen to me: someone will find you soon, just go with them. You don't remember anything except me. 】
"..." Silently watching Kafka use the Word Spirit Technique to rewrite Qiong's consciousness, Sanyueqi looked at Xing with some concern: "Um, Xing...are you okay?"
As a person with amnesia, San Yueqi understands better than anyone what it feels like to lose one's past memories: emptiness, powerlessness, and confusion. If she had not met the Starry Sky Train and Ji Zi and the others, she might have been like a rootless duckweed, drifting aimlessly in this world.
That's why she cares so much about Xing, who also lost her memory.
However, everything that happened before her eyes proved that Xing's memory - at least part of it - was erased by Kafka, who was obviously very important to her, using the word spirit technique. She even plotted against her so that she could meet the people from the Star Train...
This situation is almost equivalent to being betrayed by loved ones. Sanyueqi can imagine how painful Xing's heart is at this moment.
She wanted to comfort him, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she had no idea what to say.
"This woman is so mean. Don't be sad. Next time we meet, I will definitely help you scold her."
But isn’t this a bit inappropriate?
"Don't be sad. Although you have lost Kafka, you still have me. I can be your relative!"
No, no, I feel like I'm going to get beaten if I say that.
"Humph, the Cricket Star Core Hunters dare to covet us nameless guests in secret. Don't worry, I will blast them into pieces the next time we meet!"
Hey, this isn't even the right style, is it? How can the Star Train be so violent?
Just as San Yueqi was frowning and struggling over how to start the conversation, Dan Heng saw through her thoughts, patted her shoulder and shook his head slightly.
This kind of thing can only be solved by her if she figures it out and moves on from it. Outsiders like them have no right to interfere.
Understanding the meaning in Danheng's eyes, Sanyueqi sighed secretly, nodded and said nothing.
Over there, after talking to Qiong for a few more words, the boy's consciousness slowly faded. Just before he passed out, he only saw the figures of Kafka and Silver Wolf going away...
The world in front of him suddenly went dark. Before Yu Qi could react to what was happening, his eyes lit up again, and then he found himself back in reality.
Standing in the rare item storage room, Yu Qi looked at the circle of blue-pink ice crystals blooming like flowers in front of him, and felt a little confused for a moment.
His eyes swept across the fragments that looked like broken lenses, and the figures of Dan Heng, San Yue Qi and Xing instantly appeared in front of him, but the difference was that now they seemed to be divided into different spaces, and everyone was participating in the plot as the "protagonist".
The only difference is probably that the protagonist of the original plot is "Qiong", but the "Qiong" in the space where March 7 and others are located has been replaced by them.
Looking at the two Dan Hengs staring at each other with expressionless faces, and then looking at Sanyueqi who was jumping around and taking pictures of "him", Yu Qi smiled for a moment.
That is to say, the degree of restoration of the space where the star is located is relatively high. At first glance, there is no difference from the genuine plot being played in the middle of the 'Aftermath Space Entrance'.
Before Yu Qi could think carefully about what was going on, a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Hiss~" Yu Qi raised his hand and rubbed his forehead which was a little swollen due to the impact of the information. He quickly sorted it out and then couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "Oh my goodness, so this is what's going on?"
It's quite simple to explain. The changes in this reverberation space are ultimately due to Yu Qi, or the concept of "watching a play" that he integrated yesterday.
As I said before, the advancement of the concept of "watching a play" is inseparable from the appreciation of "stories". Dramas, movies, animations, games, comics, novels...all of the above can be called "stories". The "play" is not important, "watching" is the essence.
Therefore, after integrating with "watching the play", the power of this concept began to actively influence the world, creating a "play" for Yu Qi to "watch".
As for why this kind of game...
It's very simple. As a time traveler who loved games in his previous life, and the possibility that his time travel might be related to games, and he has a cheat code from games, games have a special meaning to Yu Qi.
If you are an avid novel lover, what may appear is a book filled with the trajectory of destiny;
If you are a person who is addicted to group games, then what appears may be a ten-sided dice that can influence fate at will;
If you are a person who likes to watch TV series, then what will appear is probably a remote control that can switch channels at will...
As I said just now, it doesn't matter what the "play" is. What matters most is that it can be "watched" by Yu Qi.
After understanding this, everything that had happened before was no longer difficult to understand for Yu Qi.
Why did San Yue Qi suddenly dream about something in another world? Because she was very special, both the person and the lost memory were too special, special enough to feel the changes in the reverberation space caused by "watching the play".
Why are there suddenly so many Rifts in the containment section, and why can the generated Rifts be replenished after being killed? Because this is the "game" in the aftermath space invading reality, and all the Rifts are just derivatives of this "game" space, in layman's terms, "little monsters".
Therefore, they will always patrol along a fixed route instead of moving randomly.
As for San Yueqi, Dan Heng, and Xing's current situation... it's even simpler, they have become 'players'!
The four of them appeared in the same space before, but because there were too many people activating and entering for the first time, the "game" was a little chaotic, resulting in the failure to allocate San Yueqi and Dan Heng their own exclusive game world in time.
It was not until the moment when 'Qiong' was born that the protagonist of this game was officially born, the main storyline was officially determined, and Xing, March 7, and Dan Heng were also transferred to their own exclusive game world.
Although it sounds a bit lame, but as a newly born "concept baby", it is still just a little aftereffect of the power of "watching the show". It is not easy to do this, so Yu Qi didn't feel comfortable complaining.
As for why the main plot of the game is this, Yu Qi is not sure, he can only guess that it is related to the original "plot" of this world.
"So, what I have to do now is to spread the identity of 'players' and let them use it to continuously write their own 'stories'?" Scratching his head, Yu Qi searched for information in his mind and said helplessly: "Tsk, only those who have an 'identity' in the plot can obtain the identity of players? Well, it's not hard to understand. After all, this is the 'story' they have woven together."
"But, in this case, why do I feel something is wrong? Becoming a 'player' and gaining power by completing the story... Why do I feel like this is leading me to become a 'star god'?"
If "watching a play" is the concept that represents destiny, becoming a "player" is like embarking on a destiny, and completing a game is like fulfilling a destiny...
"Hiss~ Shit, it seems to be true? No way, sir? I am a free man, but you want me to be a prisoner who is bound by fate and even in danger of my life if I go against fate? What are you doing?"
His face darkened, and Yu Qi couldn't help but recall what he saw last night when he was watching the drama. Those great figures who were on top of their destiny but were firmly locked by it: "You wouldn't cheat people like this, would you?"
What? The Star God is very powerful?
Come on, it's not like he doesn't have the means to become stronger. For example, just the few three-star level stuff he has, even the most ineffective and weakest ones like 'Heart of Thunder Wolf', 'Tears of the Abyss' and 'Core of Mourning', can all be used to gain power comparable to that of a demon god, and can also be improved through various means. In the future, he may not be worse than a star god.
'Want to eat?', 'Food is the most important thing' and 'Explosive Nut Seeds', these abilities are either the ability to grow without limit or the ability to follow rules. Yu Qi even suspected that if he fed the Star Gods the 'Explosive Nuts', they might not be able to resist the transformation of the Explosive Nuts.
As for the "food·qi" thing, it is a direct combination of the two concepts. Once you draw five cards, you can instantly transform into an existence that integrates the power of the two concepts...
To put it bluntly, Yu Qi has only obtained the golden finger for more than a month, and his strength is still relatively weak. If he were to stay in the world of Teyvat for three to five years and then come back to this world, even the star gods might not be able to control him.
"So, I am crazy and I must be that star god?"
Complaining silently in his heart, Yu Qi looked at the ice crystals in front of him and the three people who had already started fighting the Doomsday Beast in the fragmented image, and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Even if he gave up this thing now and stopped converting anyone into a 'player', with Xing, Sanyueqi and Danheng around, Yu Qi would not be able to stop the concept of 'watching the show' from becoming stronger.
Even if he killed the three of them, it would be useless unless Yu Qi himself stopped watching, listening, and thinking. Otherwise, as long as he lived, the concept of "watching the drama" would continue to grow.
After all, the troubles in the world are a good show.
"Good fellow!" Sighing, Yu Qi couldn't help but rub his forehead again: "Forget it, let's find a way to get the 'ingredients' first, and then sneak back to Teyvat. I don't believe that I can become a specialty of your world when we are not in the same world anymore!"
Shaking his head and suppressing the worries in his heart, Yu Qi looked at the people who had gradually completed the "plot". With a thought, a white light lit up on the ice crystal in front of him, and the figures of San Yueqi and others appeared out of thin air beside Yu Qi.
"Ji Zi, I...ah?" The words in her mouth stopped abruptly, and Xing looked up at the surroundings in confusion: "We, are back?"
"Well, welcome back." Nodding, Yu Qi looked at the three people with different expressions and smiled, "How do you feel?"
Taking a deep breath, Sanyueqi showed obvious fatigue on his face: "I'm so tired. Why do I have to fight Doommon again in the game when I have already defeated him in reality?! Moreover, there are two of us among the four people. The attack can only rely on Jizi and Danheng... It's so painful!"
"I think it's okay." Scratching his head, Xing showed a trace of regret: "It's a pity that you came out too quickly. I wanted to try to reject Ji Zi and stay in the space station instead of boarding the Star Train. What would happen? In the end, you just sent me out."
"Don't worry about that." With a slight smile, Yu Qi carefully put away the ice crystal that had curled up again in front of him. Only three broken fragments remained in the air, and lightly fell into the bodies of San Yueqi and the others: "After that, you can log in to the game space freely and try any options you want."
As he spoke, Yu Qi seemed to remember something, glanced at Xing who was eager to try, and added expressionlessly: "Of course, peeking under the skirts of female characters, touching the breasts of male characters, and marrying the Star God are all forbidden."
"No, who would do such a boring thing!" Unable to help rolling his eyes, San Yue Qi turned to look at the other two: "You said... right?"
Seeing the visibly depressed look on Xing's face, San Yue Qi opened his mouth in shock: "No, are you really going to do this?"
"...I just want to experience how free this game adapted from the real world is~" Turning his head away and not daring to look at Yu Qi and San Yue Qi, Xing quietly defended himself: "Besides, aren't you curious about what color Ji Zi is wearing?"
"Not curious!" He raised his hand and made a cross in front of him. For the first time, Sanyueqi felt that naughty kids were such troublesome creatures: "Besides, Jizi... please, you should be more careful. I'm really afraid that if this gets out, Jizi will use her railgun to shoot you..."
"Snacks?" Xing didn't pay any attention to San Yue Qi's earnest instructions. He glanced at her with a guilty look and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I'm a little hungry. How about you?"
Watching Xing's actions coldly, Yu Qi's mouth twitched. He naturally understood why Xing felt guilty - because she had done this kind of thing in the game world!
Not only Ji Zi, but also Sanyueqi, Esta and even the panties from the Black Tower... ahem, if this gets out, I'm afraid Xing will really be hunted down by them!
"Isn't this kid a little too jumpy? Tsk, install a virtualization and harmony patch for the game world to avoid any trouble in the future."
Completely ignoring Xing and Sanyueqi's quarrel, Danheng closed his eyes and carefully felt his own condition after coming out. It took him a long while to open his eyes: "What's the situation outside? Those world-breaking erosions and world-breaking creations..."
"They have all disappeared." Yu Qi pointed to the empty corridor outside the door and shrugged: "They all appeared because of this reverberation space. Now that the reverberation space is gone, they are naturally gone too."
"Ah That's good!"
Chapter 226 The Dignity of the Trash Can
Although there were still many things that had not been clarified, since the problem with the containment compartment had been resolved, Yu Qi and the others naturally did not stay here for long and turned directly back to the main control compartment.
"So, that means the problem has been solved, and this won't happen again in the future?" Looking at Yu Qi and the others with gratitude, Estelle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "That's great, thank you all so much."
"As for the reward for this commission, I will have someone deliver it to the Starry Sky Train later."
"Oh, how can I be so embarrassed? We didn't actually do anything this time." San Yue Qi waved his hands a little embarrassedly and glanced at Yu Qi: "It was mainly Yu Qi who did the hard work. If there is a reward, just give it to him. Let's just forget it."
It’s not that San Yueqi is being pretentious, but not only did he not contribute anything this time, he also gained a lot of extra benefits. It would be a bit unreasonable for him to accept the commission reward from Esda!
"Well, I don't mind."
"Whatever~"
Xing and Danheng obviously hold the same view on this.
"No need to say that." Yu Qi raised his hand and yawned. He didn't care too much about the rewards: "I didn't put in much effort, and this time, it was my fault, to be exact. I'm really embarrassed to take this reward."
"Well, if you really want to give it to me~" Seeing that Esta seemed to want to say something, Yu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you prepare some food for me? I don't need the precious ones, just some ordinary vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, meat, and some drinks, snacks, etc."
"Ah~" I never expected that Yu Qi would choose to ask for these things together. Estelle tilted her head: "Is this all right? You really don't want anything else?"
"No, no!" Yu Qi waved his hand, his attitude was very firm. Seeing this, Estelle no longer insisted: "Okay, I will contact someone to prepare it later, and then I will send it to the train together."
"Then trouble you."
"You're welcome. After all, you are the heroes who saved the space station!"
"Um..." Looking at Yu Qi and Esta who were smiling and polite to each other and seemed ready to continue chatting, Xing scratched his head and glanced at the trash can not far away quietly: "If it's all right, I want to leave first; by the way, Esta, if it's convenient, I plan to walk around the space station in the next two days, I wonder if it's okay?"
Xing still remembers that when she first met Yu Qi and the others, she got a great reward from the garbage bag that Yu Qi was carrying. From that time on, she had been thinking about the trash cans placed everywhere in the space station.
I want to see if I can get any rewards from it.
Moreover, now that she has become a "player" who "watches the show", theoretically she should be able to get more rewards...
"Slurp~" She quietly sucked the saliva that overflowed from the corner of her mouth. Xing's eager eyes were so greedy that Ester in front of her couldn't help but tremble.
Looking at Xing who seemed to be looking at her covetously, Esta still had a bright smile on her face. "I don't have anything to do here, please help yourself. Xing, if you want to take a look around the space station, this is a pass that allows you to travel freely in most areas of the space station."
"Well, thank you."
Watching Xing take the pass, Yu Qi and the others chose to say goodbye. After all, the space station was attacked yesterday, and there were still many things that needed to be handled by Esta in the follow-up recovery work. There was no need for them to continue to disturb her work here.
Xing was preparing to go for a walk, and San Yueqi was bored and planned to accompany Xing. Dan Heng was preparing to go to the Secret Scroll Department to obtain some data and information. Only Yu Qi chose to go back to the train first.
"As for the player identity... ask Nashida and Shin if they can obtain it. It should help them quickly master their own destiny power."
Yu Qi actually didn't have much worries about this. After all, if the continent of Teyvat was also regarded as a story, then they, as members of the Seven Ruling Nations of the World, would inevitably occupy an extremely important chapter in this "story".
Becoming a player is a matter of course.
"Speaking of which..." Yu Qi casually summoned the broken crystal and looked at it. He couldn't help but think of the people on the continent of Teyvat: "If you become a 'player', theoretically you can help people 'set foot' on their destiny, right? I wonder what destiny Yan Fei, Gan Yu and the others will awaken? What destiny will Alicia awaken?"
