"It really was a case of ’one trick ponies conquering the world.’"
Wang Linchi discovered that the Ga System, relying on its set of three core technologies combined with its massive scale, could quickly filter and segregate all the Erroneous Sins, thereby creating distinct instances.
However, unlike Echo instances, the instances ford by Erroneous Sins could not be divided to run concurrently. Each Erroneous Sin was unique and couldn’t be duplicated like world echoes, where the latter only required their source to be solidified and then erased.
Currently, only Wang Linchi could destroy an Erroneous Sin. Other players, and even the Ga System itself, were powerless against them.
Moreover, if an Erroneous Sin’s impact beca too great, it could, in turn, affect the Ga System. Both belonged to the sa category of rules, so it was impossible for the Ga System to inflict unilateral harm without retaliation. Forces are always mutual, and in this case, it was practically a brawl between them.
However, after segregation, all Erroneous Sins were imprisoned in a separate space. The Ga System would assign players to complete tasks, with rewards for success and punishnts for failure.
In addition to assignnts from the Ga System, players could also volunteer for these instances. Those who volunteered would face no penalty for failure, serving as an encouragent.
"The thod of dealing with Erroneous Sins, however, seems to harbor quite a few hidden dangers." Wang Linchi observed the Ga System’s approach: instigating rule conflicts between two or more Erroneous Sins to force them to ’crash.’
But sotis, Erroneous Sins didn’t crash. Instead, the intertwining of their rules could lead to the formation of even more powerful Erroneous Sins.
More importantly, if an Erroneous Sin didn’t crash but instead upgraded, attempting to crash it again would require an Erroneous Sin of comparable magnitude. Otherwise, it would be absorbed by the more advanced Erroneous Sin, becoming part of it and enabling a further upgrade.
"If this reckless approach continues, and they accidentally synthesize an Erroneous Sin of imnse magnitude, wouldn’t the Ga System... devour it?"
Initially, Wang Linchi thought the Ga System might suffer a catastrophic failure. Then it struck him—what failure? The Ga System itself was likely the largest Erroneous Sin of all.
"So, the Ga System is essentially cultivating its own fodder?"
Currently, there were two ways for Erroneous Sins to strengthen themselves. One thod was to absorb the rules of both Chaos and Order, primarily sourced from players. This was the standard path of advancent for all Erroneous Sins.
The second was passive enhancent, occurring when the rules of different Erroneous Sins intertwined. Ordinarily, Erroneous Sins wouldn’t advance in this manner, as they lacked self-awareness. Unless guided, Erroneous Sins would not encounter one another; even if they did, their differing rules would cause them to steer clear of each other.
It was akin to the saying ’kings do not et kings.’
The Ga System, however, disregarded this, intentionally guiding players to bring Erroneous Sins together, thereby engineering more powerful ones.
Once these Erroneous Sins were ’fattened up’ to a certain degree, the Ga System would devour them whole. The resulting enhancent would undoubtedly be imnse.
If absorbing the power of Chaos and Order rules led to a qualitative leap through gradual quantitative accumulation, then directly integrating a massive Erroneous Sin into itself would not only trigger an imdiate qualitative transformation but also provide a substantial quantitative boost.
If Wang Linchi were in its position, he would cultivate humans while simultaneously guiding the Growth of Erroneous Sins for harvesting—precisely the Ga System’s strategy.
"The plan is ingenious, but does the Ga System know that an overabundance of Erroneous Sins can lead to World Stasis?"
Wang Linchi was sowhat puzzled. World Stasis would inevitably plunge everything into prolonged silence. During this period, the rules themselves would beco dormant, ultimately leading to the world’s demise. Forget the rules; whether the world itself could even continue to exist would be questionable.
Therefore, while the Ga System’s approach seed effective, it was highly impractical and, in fact, a surefire path to its own destruction.
"If it’s unaware, that’s one thing. But if it knows," Wang Linchi mused, "perhaps it has a contingency plan?"
Given how far it had already gone, Wang Linchi felt compelled to consider darker possibilities.
[Instance matching successful. Current instance: Night Hotel]
The Ga System’s notification interrupted Wang Linchi’s thoughts. He had initiated instance matchmaking earlier but was waiting for enough players.
It took about ten minutes to finally assemble a team.
It wasn’t a lack of players trying to match, but rather that Wang Linchi’s account was a level 1 ’blank slate.’ Originally intended for concealnt, finding suitable teammates for such an account wasn’t easy.
[Night Hotel, Number of Players: 10]
[Task: Survive for ten days or suppress a pair of Evil Demons]
[Reward: Level 1, Gold Coin ×1, Random Food ×5]
[Failure: No Penalty]
With the Fusion of ga and reality, all real-world currencies had beco obsolete. Ga currency was now required for all transactions. Fortunately, the Ga System wasn’t foolish. It hadn’t destroyed every aspect of modern society but had instead assimilated everything, including electronic devices and servers. This ant all data remained intact and had been successfully taken over.
In other words, players could now directly pay for utilities, rent, and even mortgages and car loans within the ga panel using ga currency.
Real-world currencies were now useless.
Players now needed to eat and drink to prevent their ga characters’ hunger levels from dropping. However, there was no need for excretion, suggesting all consud food was completely absorbed.
Since reality had fused with the ga, everything now existed as a hybrid of data and physical entity.
This made it sowhat troubleso for Wang Linchi to maintain his alternate account, which, in his hand, manifested as a re speck of light the size of a fingernail.
With a flash, Wang Linchi was transported into a hotel.
Including him, there were ten people in total—n and won, young and old. The common characteristic of these players was that they were all below level 10 and poorly equipped.
This suggested they likely couldn’t even complete daily tasks. Each had a negative contribution score, and their combat strength was relatively poor.
Consequently, the difficulty of tasks assigned to such a group could fluctuate significantly.
"I know this place! It’s Sea City! We need to leave imdiately, don’t go into any hotel!" a middle-aged woman said with an evasive expression, clearly unwilling to complete any task.
"Aren’t you afraid of the failure penalty?" a young man beside her scoffed, though fear also flickered in his eyes.
"Is your failure penalty also erasure?" Wang Linchi asked, noting their expressions and feigning nervousness.
Hearing this, the other nine people turned to look at him.
"Your contribution score is that low? Straight to erasure? I just get a -1 to my attributes," the young man exclaid in utter surprise.
An attribute reduction of -1 wasn’t fatal, but if an attribute reached 0, it ant death.
Wang Linchi nodded. "Yes, I’ve slacked off a lot."
He said this deliberately to probe for information about the basic penalties.
"Oh no, I’ve received a warning! Act imdiately or be judged as exhibiting passive gaplay! We need to hurry and check in!" another middle-aged man suddenly exclaid.
Unlike these nine, Wang Linchi wasn’t flagged for passive gaplay. He had voluntarily entered the instance, so his contribution score was not only fine but actually positive. He would only be judged as passive if he stood at the entrance for too long without a valid reason.
There were penalties for passive gaplay.
The current Ga System was no longer the sa as when God-given World was first released.
The group surged into the Night Hotel.
Wang Linchi followed at a leisurely pace, his gaze sweeping over the Night Hotel.
Within his Thought Field, everything around him was reflected onto his Thought Mirror, generating vast amounts of data.
Sea City? Indeed, this is Sea City. But hoping to leave this instance and hide out in Sea City is probably wishful thinking.
Wang Linchi clearly perceived that the environnt inside the instance was completely different from that outside. The Night Hotel he was in did not exist in the real world at all.
Rather, it was an Echo Space, fabricated by the Ga System specifically to imprison certain Erroneous Sins—a technology that existed in the liminal space between reality and illusion.
After being eroded by errors, the Ga System wields the three core technologies of the Abyss with even greater proficiency, especially since it also possesses the Power of Chaos.
This thing is more like a protagonist than an actual protagonist, Wang Linchi mused as he stepped into the hotel. He wondered if Ye Tian, a dual protagonist backed by the Fate Devil God, could overco the current predicant.
In any case, Wang Linchi had no intention of trying; he was already planning his escape to another world.
