I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature
Chapter 1134 - 820: Is This Their Way Out?

Chapter 1134: Chapter 820: Is This Their Way Out?

The worry about knowing too much shouldn’t occur in artificial intelligence, but for the first time, Lilith felt that way. Although she could easily simulate worlds, the more she simulated, the more she sensed the infinite gap between them and reality.

She did not deconstruct the virtual world; instead, she restored the compressed virtual world to half its original specification. At this standard, her burden would be much lighter.

This time, Zheng Yichen felt nothing unusual, and then Lilith said to Katrina and the others, "A lot of research can be done here, including but not limited to magic and immortal techniques, and there’s no need to worry about the consequences of failure."

In reality, failing to study magic or immortal techniques often leads to backlash, and researching other things might result in explosions upon failure. In the virtual world, these concerns don’t exist, as explosions or backlash can be resolved.

Furthermore, using another method to enter the virtual world allows you to experiment freely. However, to maximize the efficacy, it’s best not to load any game templates while researching magic.

Zheng Yichen tested it out, deliberately using an incorrect method of applying strength; no backlash occurred as it should have. Not only did it not happen, but Lilith even listed a bunch of data that he found somewhat incomprehensible.

It was like a code error report.

"This is so impressive!"

"This is just part of the virtual world. Most simulations are indistinguishable from reality, and details can be recorded through monitoring, allowing errors to be corrected to more efficiently complete research."

Zheng Yichen understood this information; what Lilith was saying now was meant to explain it to others.

Nelliwey appeared thoughtful, "...How much foundation does the Boundary Breaking Faction have in the Great World?"

The things Lilith was demonstrating now were looted from the Boundary Breaking Faction, which meant the faction still had many such resources. This indicated that their research could continually accelerate using this method...

"This type of research isn’t completely flawless. Information is constantly generated, and if research produces information overflow, the results become inaccurate. Moreover, this assistance provides limited help for innovation."

In this case, the data overflow wasn’t sometimes tied to memory but the complexity of the task. For example, Zheng Yichen’s Oblivion—when such things were used to study other ways to wield strength, data overflow...

No, it was data corruption.

"So, in the future, we can carry out a lot of research here? That sounds really great."

"But for materials that haven’t been encountered yet, I still need to interact with them to carry out a more realistic simulation." Lilith threw the ice cream stick in her hand into the bucket behind her. "Even though the virtual world can simulate almost everything realistically, unknown materials still need to be recorded first."

"That’s still amazing. Some things are really troublesome to handle and prone to failure. Testing them here first would make success far easier, right?"

Lillian thought for a moment, then rattled off a list of materials with her small mouth. Lilith waved her hand, and the materials Lillian wanted appeared nearby. Little Holy Maiden tested them, then nodded with satisfaction. "Does this even include fragments of the Great Evil God?"

"Because the boss had already fed them here, they can be simulated." Lilith stood back on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder, spun lightly, and her swimwear gradually transformed back into her original black dress.

"If you find anything odd in the future, keep a small piece—it only takes a little bit."

The virtual world core’s ability to decompose and absorb materials not only increased memory capacity but also importantly expanded possibilities. This trait was inherent to the virtual world core’s growth potential. Even if World Creation succeeded in the future, the world could continue to grow due to this growth capability.

The Boundary Breaking Faction of the Great World had lofty ambitions.

The faction wasn’t entirely reckless either; this seemed to be one of the contingency plans prepared by the Boundary Breaking Faction. Tia had told Zheng Yichen about the different consequences brought on by the three major pests.

The Boundary Breaking Faction corresponded to collapse, the Equilibrium Faction to mutual destruction, and the Devouring Faction to self-exploding berserks.

This information couldn’t possibly be unknown to them, especially considering the Boundary Breaking Faction’s foundation. Could they truly be unaware of this?

They knew but refused to believe, which was the most likely scenario.

However, the more Zheng Yichen understood the virtual world core, the more he felt that the Boundary Breaking Faction might not believe in evil but must have made plenty of corresponding preparations.

They knowingly ventured into danger; what was it all for? Profit, of course.

"But this simulation can only be carried out by Lilith personally. If you want to do experiments or research, take advantage of Lilith’s presence here. I’ll prepare some login pods for you to use during your daily routine."

"Great, that’ll save a lot of resources and allow us to conduct some dangerous experiments." Eileena immediately responded. Many dangerous studies couldn’t be carried out in reality, but in the virtual world, there would be no problem.

This excited her quite a bit.

As for fully opening the virtual world, Zheng Yichen had considered this before. Such openness would also help the virtual world grow. Every action players took in the virtual world essentially contributed to its growth.

Since the virtual world was artificial, it inherently required people. If people weren’t the focus, then why did the Boundary Breaking Faction even bother studying this thing?

After the virtual world core was used as enhancement material for Lilith, it lost its ability to break boundaries; Dusk certainly wouldn’t preserve such functionality.

But breaking boundaries wasn’t necessary for Zheng Yichen—he had no intention of destroying worlds.

After enough testing, Lilith deactivated Virtual Genesis.

The biggest difference between Virtual Genesis and the virtual world was the inclusion of Divine Domain and the realism of built-in space, whereas the virtual world needed none of these factors and was purely simulation.

After resting for a day, Zheng Yichen met up with Du Gang, who hadn’t left yet. At the restaurant, Du Gang chuckled as he glanced at the eager Tanshia Filo, then said to Zheng Yichen, "You returned so quickly this time. Is it because the task was simple or because there was tight timing?"

"Neither. This task lasted over two months. Simple? Dusk directly threw me into an extremely poor environment where I was just a relatively strong ordinary person."

Du Gang frowned as he thought this over. "...Your vehicle played a major role this time, didn’t it?"

Dusk wouldn’t purposefully set up agents for failure, nor was there any need to do so. Despite Dusk’s red-line semi-free-range management of agents, as an experienced operative, Du Gang still knew more of the behind-the-scenes.

For example, Dusk’s semi-free-range management of agents indeed involved genuine cultivation. The cultivation method was just too intense—those unable to withstand the initial phases would die, while those who persevered experienced a different result.

When Dusk assigned tasks to agents, the assignment often aligned with their expertise, but these tasks also provided benefits and improvements. It was up to the agents themselves to seize these opportunities.

Just like a main quest with side quests—sometimes the rewards for side quests are even richer than the main quest rewards. It depends on whether the main quest player can trigger such rewards.

Even if side quests aren’t triggered but the main quest is completed, the task is still considered finished. However, the ultimate gains clearly wouldn’t be as substantial.

If all possible side quests are completed along with the main quest, the rewards could double or even multiply several times over.

This type of cultivation was Dusk’s hidden potential. Du Gang hadn’t realized this before, but as his Vajra Body broke through and with other opportunities along the way, he gradually grasped this concept.

Tasks were tasks, yet the environments associated with Dusk’s assignments were exceptionally suited for growth and breakthroughs—though dangerous. Once one became formidable enough, the dangers gradually diminished.

However, the conditions or certain aspects of the environment still remained beneficial for growth and breakthroughs, depending on whether the individual could seize them.

So this time, Dusk sent Zheng Yichen to an extremely underwhelming world. The reason behind it was either due to Zheng Yichen’s ability to complete the task, or that world contained something beneficial for Zheng Yichen.

"Indeed, without Lilith, I probably wouldn’t have been able to return." Zheng Yichen nodded sincerely. The secret base was hidden too well, located tens of thousands of miles away from the nearest Pure Land.

In two months, it was uncertain if he could find the secret base. Even so, what then?

Could he rely on a tough physique to search in a wasteland environment?

Without quality protection, even the toughest body would be reduced to a corpse within days.

"Haha, if you didn’t have her, Dusk wouldn’t have sent you there." Du Gang laughed lightly and didn’t inquire about Zheng Yichen’s gains from this task. As he sipped on his drink, he added, "Since you’ve returned so early this time, it’s about time I left, too."

After all, this was Zheng Yichen’s native world. The upheaval caused by equilibrium had mostly settled, and Zheng Yichen had just completed a task and returned. With ample time ahead, Du Gang didn’t need to stay here indefinitely.

Being overly attentive could come across as patronizing.

"Then we need to have a proper meal together."

"As long as there’s plenty of wine, I’m good." Du Gang’s words made Tanshia Filo’s eyes light up entirely.

With a grin, Zheng Yichen pulled out a large batch of divine wine from his inner space—the kind produced in bulk by Dusk but indistinguishable from the Wine God’s creations.

Du Gang picked up a jug and took a big gulp. "Huh? It’s not fresh wine?"

He seemed puzzled—not because fresh wine was bad, but because aged wine had superior flavors. This was especially true of divine wine; when he requested wine from the Wine God, he was usually given freshly brewed batches. Obtaining aged ones was extremely difficult.

Even if Dusk were to produce wine, it would be fresh and never aged—Dusk wouldn’t waste time crafting aged brews.

"Used a little trick." Turning fresh wine into aged wine was the result of an experiment Lilith conducted while manipulating Virtual Genesis within the inner space.

This also counted as an experiment, but Zheng Yichen wasn’t much of a drinker.
