Chapter 1785: The Kiss of the Beautiful Idol
Guan Zai's idea completely exceeded Lin Qiye and the other's understanding.
"Data deification... is that actually possible?" Lin Qiye frowned and asked.
"Of course it's possible." Guan Zai nodded with absolute seriousness. "Ever since Zhou Ping successfully ascended to become Great Xia's Sword Immortal a few years ago, I've been thinking about my own path to godhood... Data deification is the most feasible plan I've come up with over these past few years.
The only problem is, there's no data law in this world... and my talent hasn't reached the level where I can create my own law, so this method has only remained theoretical.
But Takishiro is different. This kid's talent in gaming is absolutely the strongest in the world. I've always felt that he might have already touched upon a corner of the game law."
"You mean, Takishiro might create a complete game law, then integrate himself into the game to become a god?"
Zhou Ping, Huo Qubing, Gongyang Wan... all three of the world's current self-made law ascenders have taken the path of reality. Compared to them, creating laws through gaming sounds like a dream.
"His talent is sufficient. What he needs now might just be an opportunity."
"An opportunity?"
"A place where he can comprehend the game law."
"A place where he can comprehend the game law... where would that be?"
"Game law, of course, only exists within games." Guan Zai stated matter-of-factly.
"But he's already cleared all the games in Great Xia and still couldn't comprehend the game law."
"Far from enough. Those games are for ordinary players. Do you think Takishiro is an ordinary player? Only a game that can truly challenge him is most likely to awaken his talent and help him comprehend the game law."
"So, you already have a way, right?"
Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something, his eyes brightening slightly. "You're the greatest programmer in the world. You can definitely create a game that allows Takishiro to feel challenged... You are Takishiro's opportunity for godhood!"
Guan Zai's gaze fell on Yuzuri Takishiro's ward, his expression somewhat complicated:
"More precisely, I've already created the prototype of a game, but the mechanism isn't complete yet. I was originally planning to finish it before letting him test it, but there's no time left to adjust it slowly anymore..."
"So, can he play it now?" Lin Qiye glanced at Guan Zai's empty hands and immediately asked, "Did you bring the gaming equipment? Or if you didn't, I can have someone buy it now."
Guan Zai shook his head. "It's not a simple game played with a controller... To unleash Takishiro's potential, I need to let him experience the game immersively. I'll use my abilities to build a realistic game for him."
"A realistic game?"
"Yes. In this world we exist in, I'll create a digitalized world. All his physical attributes will be digitalized and imported into it, and his abilities will become things similar to 'skills.'" Guan Zai pondered as he spoke.
"But there's a very serious problem now..."
"What?"
"This game, I designed it for Takishiro at his peak. Now that his body has become pathologically aged, he might not be able to endure completing this game. If anything goes wrong, he might even die from exhaustion..."
Lin Qiye's expression immediately turned grave. "Is there a way?"
"There is..." Guan Zai hesitated to speak. "I can adjust this game's single-player mode to a three-person team mode. If someone shares some of the pressure with him, it might go much smoother."
"Three-person team?" Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Lin Qiye beside him.
"Exactly. But I need to control the program from outside, so I need two other 'players' to enter with him. And it would be best if their strength is similar to Takishiro's, that way at least the data won't drag things down too much."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye finally understood Guan Zai's intention. "You want me and Zhuaige to go in with him?"
"Well... you're currently the Commander-in-Chief of Great Xia. If you're too busy with affairs, you can have someone else at the apex level go instead."
Lin Qiye didn't speak. He turned to look at Yuzuri Takishiro's ward, and a firm resolve appeared in his eyes. "No, there's no need to change anyone. I'll go with Zhuaige... This is what we owe him."
"That would be best."
Seeing Lin Qiye agree, Guan Zai immediately began typing on nothingness. Rows of虚幻 code floated in the air. "I need some time to load the game. Go tell Takishiro to get prepared."
As he finished speaking, a digital-style progress bar floated above Guan Zai's head, slowly moving toward 100%.
Lin Qiye returned to the ward and briefly explained the situation to Yuzuri Takishiro. The latter's dim eyes instantly filled with unprecedented excitement:
"Really? You're and Qingzhu-ge are going to play with me?!"
"Yeah." Lin Qiye nodded. "But neither of us is very good at this stuff, and our purpose isn't to clear the game—it's to help you comprehend the game law... So ultimately, it all depends on you."
"No problem!!"
Yuzuri Takishiro yanked off his IV drip and removed all the monitoring equipment. His entire being radiated vitality, completely transformed from his earlier sickly appearance.
"By the way, I forgot to ask how long this game takes..."
"One round shouldn't take too long." Shen Qingzhu thought for a moment. "Half an hour?"
"It's not like playing a mobile game... Fine, let me make some arrangements first."
Lin Qiye glanced at Guan Zai on the corridor, whose progress bar was still loading. Without disturbing him, he took out his phone and called Min Junliang, asking Fate Monk to temporarily handle urgent affairs for him.
After all that, the progress bar above Guan Zai's head on the corridor finally finished loading.
Click—!!
The lights in the ward flickered as if a circuit had tripped, plunging into darkness in an instant. Then the lights in the corridor outside went out one by one. The world fell into complete darkness.
Dense lines of code floated past the three of them. As Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu relaxed their minds, their own figures also dissolved into part of the code. When they opened their eyes again, they were already standing amidst a bustling crowd!
Stars twinkled in the night sky. Dozens of bright lights from the edges of the Gymnasium shone down on the empty stage in the center. Around them, thousands of figures held glow sticks and light sticks, excitedly squeezed together, their eyes filled with fanaticism.
"What the hell? Weren't we entering a game? Why does it look like a concert venue?" Lin Qiye looked around, utterly bewildered.
As if to answer his question, rows of emerald-green text floated out of the void before the three of them:
— Player data conversion complete.
— Game loading progress: 100%
— Scene import in progress... Scene import complete.
— Game duration: ???
— Welcome to the nightmare-level game independently developed by G·Z
— Game name: "The Kiss of the Beautiful Idol"
