Ignoring Lin Jiaxin in her school uniform, who seed perplexed, Feng Xue activated the authority of the "Layer Master of Level 107" tag and imdiately left this world. However, as the sensation of returning to Infinite City from reality descended, Feng Xue’s brow suddenly furrowed.
This transformation process was different from before!
It is well known that both Infinite beings and Kaidan can be classified as "informational state creatures," essentially similar to digital monsters, composed of massive amounts of information.
Generally speaking, when a Kaidan travels to the real world, the information constituting its body gets "compressed," encapsulating the "data" within a "pseudo-protein" shell, acquiring a body capable of existing in reality. When returning from reality to worlds like Infinite City, the information is "decompressed" and returns to its informational state.
Although it seems to be an instinctual setting or a rule of the world, it is not necessarily the only way.
After all, the term "pseudo-protein" is used because it is highly unstable and can easily collapse back into its informational state. Maintaining this shell is the main reason for the substantial increase in consumption after a Kaidan enters the real world (another part of the reason is that Infinite City itself shares so of the consumption).
But the real world, as a world full of information interaction, is to Kaidan what a high-radiation area is to humans. In such a dense flow of information, without this shell, whether Infinite beings or Kaidan, they are prone to being overwheld by massive information pollution, turning into chaos like an on.
Imagine Kaidan as a bowl of ink. Inside Infinite City, the ink belongs to soone and will not contaminate each other. The real world, however, is like a river filled with paint; traveling to reality requires freezing an ice shell around oneself to ensure not mixing into the river. The ice shell continuously lts, and there is consumption — the Cognition consud in the real world is essentially used for freezing and replenishing the ice shell.
Therefore, even if a Kaidan understands this chanism and has the ability to break it, no one would indeed do so. It’s like no human would think of entering a high-radiation area without protective clothing.
But now, Feng Xue’s chanism seed to be malfunctioning.
Right when he returned to Level 107 of the Tower of Babylon, part of his body didn’t revert to an information flow but transford into another form, in an even stranger way.
Concerned about the essential nature of what constituted his body, Feng Xue imdiately beca extrely vigilant, setting aside even the notification of obtaining Layer Master qualifications and sat down to perform a self-examination.
Then he discovered that the part of his body made up of this altered "data" seed sowhat familiar.
It was a bit like an on, but, more like...
"True Person!"
Feng Xue’s vigilance and perplexity instantly turned to ecstasy because he finally realized the fundantal purpose of this so-called assessnt.
Just as Kaidan are encapsulated into pseudo-life forms by pseudo-proteins when they enter the real world, True Objects and True Persons entering Infinite City are transford into a large "data packet." If the True Person dies, the cognitive data collapses completely, turning into unordered ons.
And now, the part of Feng Xue’s "unzipped" data structure was very similar to the data of a True Person entering Infinite City.
"Well, so the real purpose of the Layer Master’s challenge is to obtain ’authenticity,’ or rather, ’substitute’ a True Person?"
Feng Xue grinned, but thinking about the back room, he suddenly realized that in the Kaidan about the back room, there seems to be an "entity" capable of replacing the identity of those who accidentally enter.
Also, if one successfully escapes the back room, would they also achieve effects like true realization or materialization?
"But right now, my current state is half-and-half, having so characteristics of a True Person, but still retaining a data state... Is it because I chose Lin Jiaxin and then carried a Feminization Filter, which caused not to fully replace the other’s identity?"
Feng Xue concluded, without any disappointnt, knowing the thod; replacing soone’s identity was now extrely easy for him.
Apart from Infinite City’s own clone of the K7 train, the Ke family’s eldest daughter’s hotown and that ga world, replacents could be easily accomplished. Besides, by exploiting the Cyber World’s work hell, rely adopting a brain-computer interface approach would also spread Kaidan-like rumors about "stealing soone’s body through a virtual community network," thus pilfering the identity of a True Person.
With many thods at his disposal, Feng Xue no longer hesitated, or rather, his half-informational, half-biological state inherently held more advantages over both pure informational and biological states.
Of course, relatively, he also beca specially vulnerable to attacks against True Persons and Kaidan alike.
"Anyway, let’s accept the fruits of this labor."
After confirming that his state had no hidden dangers, Feng Xue stood in the midst of this wheat field, his attention focused on the "Layer Master of Level 107" tag, subsequently, a series of information also flowed into his mind.
"Congratulations, you have obtained the qualifications of Layer Master."
"You have obtained transit rights for Levels 101-120."
"You have obtained the rights to use the Trial Plane."
"You have gained reconstruction rights for Level 107."
"You have obtained the qualifications to participate in the challenge of Level 121."
"You have acquired partial authority of the Tower of Babylon."
"The Secret Store of the Tower of Babylon is open to you."
"The Secret Library of the Tower of Babylon is open to you."
"The Tower of Babylon will reserve a resurrection slot for you."
"The Tower of Babylon..."
A series of unlocking authorization information stread before his eyes, but the most attractive to Feng Xue was the resurrection slot.
This was a privilege only accessible to Layer Masters from Levels 101-120, akin to planting a resurrection point. The Kaidan obtaining this privilege would back up their Kaidan data inside the Tower of Babylon. Should the Layer Master perish, even if the outside world has completely forgotten the Layer Master’s information, the Tower of Babylon can forcibly inject a massive amount of Cognition based on the Kaidan backup to resurrect them. Although this privilege could be used only once, it was filled with a reassuring feeling.
However, the appearance of this benefit also hinted at sothing.
"How to put this, having such a privilege here seems to say—’Don’t worry about dying,’ does that imply that becoming a Layer Master leads to a high likelihood of death?"
Feng Xue frowned as he searched through the data provided by the tag for a while and finally, among a heap of rights and benefits, found the only one labeled "Obligation."
"Layer Masters are obligated to undertake a challenge of Level 121 once a year."
