CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 164: DEATH RECOVERY, DARK RACE TRAP

Compared to other plans, attribute feedback in reality does not incur additional sacrificial power expenses.

It merely returns the player’s portion of attributes to their bodily reality at the cost of sacrificial power.

The reality auction house open under the name of the Moon Eclipse Clan can also replace in-game spending activities.

This plan is completely feasible in conception.

But a series of issues need to be addressed in advance for the plan to be implemented.

The Moon Eclipse Clan needs to cooperate to launch the life modification project, conduct external publicity, and also build a system that can interface player body attributes with those of the real-world body.

This system, Qi Sheng has preemptively named: Attribute Return System.

But Superdimension and Jiuyin are currently working on constructing and testing the cultivation system and have no time to tackle this system-building project for now.

At present, player numbers are also quite small, so this plan has to be postponed for a while.

In addition, he has also considered issues related to real-world order.

Returning attributes to reality, enhancing human lifespan and personal power bears the risk of disrupting safety and order.

Most of Earth’s members spend their time in virtual games, but there are also a few players who engage in prolonged reality activities.

The legal restraint on reality activities lies in mandatory penalties for unlawful behavior, but players possessing superior power may easily evade legal sanctions, nullifying the deterrent effect of the law.

For example, a player with exceedingly high attribute feedback may instantly flee the scene after committing a crime, making it difficult for police to pursue or even confront them.

Excessive power might lead some players to develop a sense of superiority, fostering the thought of "I don’t eat beef."

Believing they are beyond ordinary people, no longer constrained by conventional moral norms, thus causing behaviors that disrupt order.

For a successful development of the Player Corps, stability in real-world order is the cornerstone.

This is also one reason why he is unwilling to provide Life Soul abilities.

With attributes surpassing the norm, alongside Life Soul characteristics comparable to superpowers, some players may be lawless in reality.

For instance, the Dusk Shadow Life Soul’s stealth effect, once integrated into the night, allows for anything, and it would be difficult to detect.

Therefore, before perfecting this attribute feedback system, he needs the Moon Eclipse Clan to cooperate in constructing a more stable real-world order, ensuring that players remain within controllable bounds after receiving attribute feedback.

But this idea is merely a precaution.

As players enhance their strength in the Monster World, they will naturally resist the real-world.

The scenario where players are unwilling to log off will occur.

This is also why high-level worlds pose significant allure to small worlds.

Lord of Jile is reluctant to return to obscurity, due partly to ambition and partly to environmental differences.

Take the real-world Spirit Plant cultivation base as an example.

The cultivation base built with extensive resources and technology, yet the quality and concentration of Spiritual Energy inside are far inferior to even the most barren areas of the Monster World, vastly inferior.

Even wild grass from the Monster World would be an exceedingly precious Spirit Plant on Earth.

This disparity is particularly pronounced at an individual player level.

Many players experience intense disparity when returning to reality after a long stay in the Monster World.

As explained by a forum player, it feels like suddenly bearing a heavy yoke, restricting free movement, and even breathing becomes laborious.

Thus, issues of real-world order supervision only need to focus on specific groups.

Most players will still predominantly engage in activities in the game world.

[Boss, before the Attribute Return System is completed, how do you intend to handle the deceased player?]

Guidance suddenly voiced the inquiry at this moment.

Qi Sheng briefly pondered before reaching out to seize and send the deceased player’s consciousness cluster from above the Sacrificial Pool into his palm:

"Resurrect them, they can continue to create value moving forward."

Upon hearing this, Guidance did not waste words, promptly consuming sacrificial power as Qi Sheng requested.

Differing from regular blood and flesh reshaping.

This veteran player’s body, the physical form in reality, was not interfaced with the Challenger System, thus resurrection requires consuming additional sacrificial power.

Additionally, the veteran player’s consciousness has already scattered into fragments, requiring sacrificial power to reshape these consciousness fragments as well, piecing the memory fragments floating in the world together.

Undertaking comprehensive consciousness and blood and flesh reshaping.

This is why Qi Sheng was reluctant to provide resurrection for custom pets; it demands significantly more sacrificial power, and this expenditure is entirely wasteful.

...

Earth.

Inside the Spirit Hall.

The ice coffin stood silently, isolating the elder’s body from the world.

The painful and hideous expression on the elder’s face before death was peacefully transformed by the Funeral Director’s work, as if sleeping in a dream they will never wake from.

The elder’s relatives knelt uniformly before the ice coffin, their grief raging like a flood bursting through a dam.

A slender woman collapsed on the ice coffin, her hands clutching its edge tightly, knuckles pale, uncontrollable tears streaming from her eyes, cascading down her cheeks, falling upon the ice coffin, with a suppressed sobbing as though vomiting forth all her heart’s sorrow.

"Father, how can you just leave like this... the days ahead...."

The voice, like being sanded repeatedly, has grown hoarse.

The surrounding figures were all sobbing uncontrollably, the eldest daughter lying on the ice coffin, her body trembling violently, her cries piercing and prolonged, her hands gently stroking the coffin as if seeking to feel her father’s body through the coldness once more.
