Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 291 Timeline and World View

White light flashed.

Fu Qinghai recovered from losing consciousness.

Looking around quickly, I seem to be in a dilapidated unfinished building, surrounded by gray concrete walls full of bullet holes, exposed steel bars, and collapsed columns.

"Well...it's coming."

"Ah, where is this again?"

"A new reincarnation, endless."

There is no partition in the dilapidated building, and the voices come from other rooms one after another, and it sounds like a reincarnation.

Fu Qinghai sat quietly on a huge long metal box for a while, did not get up, and did not participate in the conversations of the reincarnators, but first took out a large chip and inserted it into the Blue Shell Power Battle A's internal interface.

"Master, I miss you~"

The coquettish voice of the electronic female voice rang in my ears.

"Qing Ming, connect to the satellite network and determine the current position."

Fu Qinghai said.

"Received, Master."

Wild Alien has the gameplay of Wild Alien, and modern society has the gameplay of modern society. Satellite networks and signal base stations all over the world are the best infrastructure for a player with artificial intelligence.

The first thing Fu Qinghai has to do is to connect to the Internet.

After a few seconds, Qing Ming said:

"Azimuth confirmation, Sinai Peninsula, coordinate parameters..."

"Call Ron and ask him to come pick me up."

"Okay, master."

The noise of the reincarnated people gradually became louder.

Fu Qinghai ignored it, and still sat quietly on the long metal box.

While waiting for Ron, he began to think about the timeline.

This time, when he came to the Marvel main universe, that is, the Marvel (Earth-616) universe, the legendary reincarnation hub, Fu Qinghai did not use the reincarnation beacon, but directly used the convening function of the club boss, and chose to join the club member Ron Partial buildup of the anchor world.

From this point of view, the main god may encourage players to form clubs. Club players have many convenient functions that scattered players do not have. Just say that club bosses can travel to and from the anchor worlds of different club members without the help of reincarnation beacons. , it is very convenient.

Fu Qinghai's anchor world is the Warhammer 40K universe. Looking at it now, it is not so much anchoring this universe as it is anchoring this timeline.

As long as the anchoring world starts reincarnation, Fu Qinghai must give priority to participating in the major events of his anchoring world's plot line, and the interval between two reincarnations is to stay in the anchoring world, so the time he personally feels is equal to The times of the Warhammer 40 universe are fully synchronized.

Because there is no reincarnation world where reincarnation exists, the timeline is stagnant.

Is there a possibility that Fu Qinghai is not in the Warhammer 40K universe, but the timeline of the Warhammer 40K universe is still flowing?

Have.

He only needs to choose to assemble in the anchor world of a certain club member when the big event of the plot line starts. At this time, there are other reincarnations in the Warhammer 40K universe, and the timeline is still flowing, but there is no such person as Fu Qinghai.

This point, Fu Qinghai thought of it the moment he used the group gathering function.

In addition, through communication with his teammates, he also clarified some other issues about time, such as: each reincarnation, and the interval between each reincarnation, is the flow of time in different reincarnation worlds the same?
Obviously it's different.

A simple comparison shows that sometimes Fu Qinghai has been in the Warhammer 40K universe for a long, long time, while Zhang Yuning has only been in other reincarnation worlds for a few decades.

Fu Qinghai was just curious:
To what extent can this difference in time velocity be so large? I can’t. It’s been 40 years in my Warhammer 1000K universe, but it’s only been two or three days in other reincarnation worlds. In this case, many lifespans are not so long Creatures such as human beings will be boiled to death.

At the end of a reincarnation, he found that his teammates had died of old age.

Or at the end of a reincarnation, the teammate girl becomes an aunt.

Is it okay?
Fu Qinghai shook his head and laughed, and stopped thinking about this question.

According to the laws of physics in the real world, the greater the mass of an object, the slower the flow of time. The concept of time can even be canceled out in the field of quantum mechanics.

Fu Qinghai stood up, lifted the metal box under his buttocks, which was about the size of a single wardrobe, patted the dust, walked out of the room, and walked towards the center of the ruined building.

The ruins are surrounded by a desert. The hot sun is shining all over the land. From time to time, there are gunshots and gunshots in the distance. It seems that there is a war, and the ceiling is shaken by strands of dust, forming a beam of Tyndall effect in the bright and transparent light.

A group of reincarnated people gathered in the center of the building, both men and women, of different ages. Many people's condition did not look very good, and they were not much better than refugees. They seemed to have just returned from some sinister world of reincarnation, and there was something in their eyes. Be vigilant.

As soon as Fu Qinghai appeared, he attracted the attention of everyone present. He was dressed in black gold power armor, a cold visor, and scarlet eyepieces. He was the kind of guy who looked very strong. It was difficult to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. operations like this.

Fu Qinghai walked towards the hall without saying a word, and some people even started to back away slightly.

"Hello, hello, everyone!"

At this time, a clear and loud voice came from outside.

A short, fat man walked in, with a big belly, walking confidently, with a flushed face:

"Haha, it's your luck and my honor that new players come here. Let me introduce myself. I'm a middle-level operator of the Order Alliance, Paregal."

He spread his hands, bowed slightly, and bowed lightly to all the reincarnations present.

However, no one paid attention to him, and no one answered his words. The reincarnated people still stood or squatted in place, their vigilant eyes patrolling back and forth on him and Fu Qinghai.

Order Alliance?what is that?
With a thought, Fu Qinghai remembered the strange term that appeared in the bounty warrant issued by Perfect Human.

Facing the cold scene, the short and fat man didn't feel embarrassed at all. He straightened his chest, raised his fat chin, and said to himself:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a lucky day. The Order of the Order Alliance provides newcomer-only discounts for newcomers who enter the Marvel main universe for the first time. The original price of 598 points for the reincarnation information subscription service is now only 300 points, that is, You can enjoy the latest reincarnation information updated in real time by the Order Alliance for you, rule answers, combat power rankings, cosmic data, gossip... everything!"

The chunky man Paregal raised his hands and said loudly:
"Everything is in the information encyclopedia of the Order Alliance! Subscribe now, and you can also participate in exclusive discounts for newcomers. The Order Alliance, your eternal reincarnation partner! The Order Alliance, well-known in the universe, is trustworthy!"

After the passionate slogans were shouted, the only thing left on the scene...

Quiet.

very quiet.

Everyone looked at this short and fat man quietly, no one answered, not even asked, the reincarnated people still had the vigilant look of "there are always troublesome people who want to harm me", and hugged him tightly Take the weapon or backpack in your hand.

"Ok."

Seeing this, the short and fat man seemed to have gotten used to it, shrugged, turned around and walked out the door.

"Wait a moment."

A deep filtered voice stopped him.

Paregal turned around, and in front of him was a tall and burly giant in black-gold armor, condescendingly looking down at him. His voice came from the loudspeaker of the neck armor:

"I subscribe."

As soon as the words fell, a cold voice sounded in the depths of Peregal's mind:
【You received 300 assimilation points from other reincarnations】

Pay directly?

Paregal was taken aback, and asked:

"Aren't you asking about the specific content in detail?"

Fu Qinghai didn't speak, but gently placed his palm on the hilt of the chainsaw sword at his waist.

Paregal understood in seconds.

It means: if the information you provide is not worth 300 assimilation points, then... you will be responsible for the consequences.

This so-called "Order Alliance Intermediate Operator" said:
"Okay, sir, follow me."

Fu Qinghai was the only one present who had purchased this service, so naturally no one else could hear a single word.

……

In the corner of a room in the ruins of the building.

Paregal led Fu Qinghai here familiarly. After checking to make sure there were no eavesdropping or peeping around, he coughed twice and cleared his throat. Shi Shiran turned around and said to Fu Qinghai:
"So, sir, where do you want to start with?"

"What is the Alliance of Order?"

Fu Qinghai asked his first question.

"Uh……"

Paregal was stunned, thinking that you paid directly without even knowing what the "Order of Order" was?
But he said at once:
"The Alliance of Order is a neutral organization independent of the major societies. It has a long history and a high reputation. It was established a long time ago. We originated from a group of players who were unwilling to participate in the battle between reincarnations. Order The Alliance does not participate in any battles between groups or individuals. We provide services for all reincarnations, including intermediaries and guarantees for buying and selling transactions, and the exchange of information and intelligence. Our information sources and intelligence eyeliners are all over the entire reincarnation world, and we have long-term Reincarnation acquires valuable intelligence and information, and provides all players with the help and services we can."

It seemed that the lines had been memorized in advance, and they blurted out very smoothly.

Fu Qinghai nodded.

As he guessed.

But one thing, if you want to remain neutral, it doesn't mean you just say you are neutral.

For example, Switzerland is a permanently neutral country, but Switzerland has a very developed defense industry and a large standing force, which allows Switzerland to remain neutral.

In the same way, it is obviously impossible for the Order Alliance to survive and flourish among the major associations without any hard power.

"I really want to know the levels of the reincarnation world, SSS level, SS level, A level... How are these levels divided?"

Fu Qinghai then asked the question that had troubled him for many years.

"good question!"

Paregal snapped his fingers.

He smiled mysteriously and made a fool of himself:

"Then let me ask you first, do you know... what level does the alien movie universe belong to?"

Alien Cinematic Universe?

Fu Qinghai frowned slightly.

He knew that Alien should have at least two universes:

The Alien Cinematic Universe, which is the early Alien franchise, plus reboots like Alien: Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

The Alien vs. Predator universe, also known as the AVP universe, includes related movies and comics. The comics are produced by Dark Horse Comics, but they do not belong to the Dark Horse Comics universe.

Fu Qinghai carefully recalled the plot in the movie, and asked tentatively:

"I guess it should be... A-level?"

"No, the Alien Movie Universe is SS."

Paregal said.

"why?"

Fu Qinghai immediately expressed his incomprehension.

With the strength of Alien, also with double S rank?
Paregal said with a smile:

"When did the reincarnation world say...it will set the universe level in terms of strength, difficulty, upper limit of background, or other methods?"

Fu Qinghai shook his head:
"It's true that it hasn't been said."

Paregal spread his hands:
"That's it."

Fu Qinghai frowned:
"Then it must have a grading logic. Otherwise, what would it do to prompt this 'level'? It doesn't make any sense?"

"Ahem, you asked the right person. This involves the strength of our Order Alliance."

Paregal coughed lightly, put on a serious look, and said:
"Although the reincarnation world has not stated it clearly, but based on our continuous observation and summary over the years, we have come to a conclusion-the reincarnation world is based on the degree of influence of these IPs in the minds of all human beings in the real world, as well as the perfection of the IP itself. The degree is used to determine the level."

"Specifically?"

"For example, Alien, Alien itself is very weak, but Alien is one of the earliest sci-fi horror movies, creating a precedent for deep space claustrophobia, implicit sexual metaphors and religious metaphors in sci-fi, and its art style has directly influenced Subsequent generations of directors, writers and designers."

"This involves some related concepts of media studies and communication studies."

Paregal added, and then a slightly sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Of course, for those who can only struggle to survive in the world of reincarnation and only care about what is strong and what is weak, if you talk about 'communication' with him, it is tantamount to playing the piano with a cow."

"Communication...mind..."

Fu Qinghai frowned and muttered to himself.

He noticed these two key words.

This made him think of a noun term developed from the S West P Foundation series-meme.

The word "meme" was first derived from the concept of communication studies. In common people's terms, it refers to information or concepts that do not exist in real objects, and are then disseminated through various channels such as books, newspapers, and the Internet. , thereby affecting people's minds.

This does not involve any supernatural power, it is a simple concept in real science, a meme, a meme, can be a meme.

There is a saying that goes like this:

When is a person truly dead?
The answer is when everyone forgets about him.

As long as someone else remembers this person, as long as he is still in someone's mind, then even if his body is gone, he is not really dead.

This logic is a broad concept of meme.

Thinking a little deeper.

Fu Qinghai converged his thinking from divergence.

If the level of the reincarnation world is really determined by the extent of its spread... then the classic screen images and anime characters such as Alien, Hokage, and Marvel are indeed IPs with a deep influence.

"but……"

Fu Qinghai immediately discovered the problem:
"Based on that, why is the Warhammer 40K universe SSS-level?"

Warhammer 40K is also a very old IP, but its spread is very, very narrow. Not to mention big data concepts such as search popularity and keyword rankings, just use a simple and crude logic to measure the spread——

Was it made into a movie.

The game has not yet fully emerged, and film is the first of the nine major arts. It is the easiest to spread and the one with the lowest appreciation threshold among all art forms. Whether an IP has a film or not is a way to measure the spread of this IP.

Warhammer 40 obviously doesn't.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the popularity of a movie will be high if it is made. Bad movies are everywhere, and few people remember them.

"Ha, I know what you mean by the Warhammer 40K universe, a reincarnation world that has just been opened twice. This is the second condition I just mentioned - the degree of perfection of the IP itself."

Paregal said:

"If the IP itself is set up very well, such as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series, Silmarillion series and Hobbit series, the author not only constructs a complete world view, but even compiles the book for the elves in his book. A language and writing. Then, Tolkien's universe will have a high rating in the world of reincarnation."

Paregal gave a good example.

Tolkien's series of novels are the true originator of Western fantasy. Almost all Western fantasy stories are extended on the basis of him. The detailed settings of Tolkien's universe are rich and perfect. Among them, the details of setting the elf language, It was also imitated by later large manufacturers.

Industrial Light & Magic created an English alphabet for Star Wars Oribesh.

Marvel Studios has also set up an English alphabet map for Wakanda's text.

In fact, few people pay attention to whether they do it or not. Few people will pay attention to whether there is an additional language and characters in the movie, and English itself is not a complicated language. It is just a table of English letters, 26 Alphabets are not some gigantic project.

But they just did.

In order to enrich and perfect this IP.

Maybe Tolkien made a good start.

In this regard, China's IP has done very poorly.

Game Workshop (GW), the production company of Warhammer 40K, has also set up an English comparison table for the text of the Orcs, not only that, but also the accent and grammar of the Orcs.

Fu Qinghai's pensive appearance seemed to arouse Paregal's desire to express even more. He said:
"Actually, these two conditions are closely related to another question. Have you ever thought about whether all IPs, movies, novels, and comics that exist in our real world can become a reincarnation world?"

Fu Qinghai said with some doubts:
"Should...can't it?"

"As far as the Order Alliance has learned, the answer is...of course not!"

Paregal said with certainty:
"Only IPs that meet the above two conditions are eligible to become a reincarnation world. Let me give you the simplest example - a series of movies. Those movies that have only been filmed in one can often only become a copy world, and those long-form Only a series of movies can become a main world."

After Paregal said this example, the first thing Fu Qinghai thought of was the horror movie universe.

For example, the original source of Zhang Yuning's ability, the place where she was possessed by Kayako - Cursing the Grudge Universe.

The Grudge has movies and novels, and the movies are divided into Japanese and American versions. The Japanese version has eight movies and one episode, and the American version has four movies... This is a very large series of IP.

Another example is the source of Upton's ability - the ghost baby returning to the universe.

The Ghost Baby is a seven-part series, which also involves a hilarious and terrifying transformation and a soft reboot - becoming a ghost baby with artificial intelligence.

"Reboot" is one of the symbols of the enduring prosperity of a series of IPs. Those who have experienced reboots are all classics in people's minds.Including the latex-masked murderer Michael Myers in "Moonlight Panic" that I met in the Marvel Comics Universe before, there are a total of ten horror movies in this series, and there are restarts during the period.

According to Paregal's theory, only the series of films such as The Grudge and Ghost Baby Return meet the condition of "the degree of influence in the minds of all human beings".

In order to become a reincarnation master world.

"Um……"

Fu Qinghai nodded slowly.

He probably understood what Paregal was talking about.

Paregal said:

"To be honest, most reincarnators don't care about these issues. They only think about getting stronger, stronger, and stronger. When they come up, they ask me how to become stronger. You are the first one I have ever met. The person I consulted with this question was quite..."

As soon as Paregal finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Qinghai raising his hand:
"I'll interrupt."

Fu Qinghai looked at Paregal seriously, and asked a question that pointed to the core:

"Even if the reincarnation world is really created and graded according to the two conditions you mentioned, then what is the purpose and significance of the reincarnation world, or what we call this 'lord god'? This classification, and What impact can it have on the reincarnation?"

SSS-level universe suppressing A-level universe?
It seems that there is no such thing.

On the contrary, the oppression caused by different worldviews is almost everywhere for non-sci-fi reincarnations.

"Well, tsk, actually, we don't have an answer to this question."

Paregal smacked his mouth and said:
"But we have some speculation internally."

"What guess?"

Fu Qinghai asked immediately.

Paregal looked up at the armored giant, smiled, and said:

"Originally, this is not part of the 300-point reincarnation information subscription service, but since you paid so readily, I can reveal a little bit for you."

Paregal asked slowly:

"Do you think... The World of Reincarnation looks very much like an online game?"

Fu Qinghai nodded: "I've always felt that way."

Paregal said:

"Then let me tell you, the world of reincarnation is not only like a game, but it is becoming more and more like a game!"

"It's getting more and more like... what do you mean?"

Fu Qinghai frowned and asked.

Paregal said:

"It is said, according to legend, that the reincarnation forums, reincarnation clubs, and reincarnation props we use now were all absent in the early days. At that time, the reincarnation world was very simple. It just let you experience different reincarnations, and then... Until one day, all of a sudden, there were these changes.”

Means, the reincarnation world will update the version?
Seeing that Fu Qinghai was lost in thought again, Paregal couldn't help feeling an inexplicable pleasure in sharing the shocking secrets and shocking others. He smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice, and whispered:
"It is rumored that when you become a Lv. , the answer to everything... is there!"

Fu Qinghai raised his head:

"Do you have to speak in such a gloomy tone?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm in the show."

Paregal immediately returned to his normal tone and scratched his head.

Lv. Level 10 reincarnation... What exactly does it mean?

Fu Qinghai couldn't analyze it, so he could only nod his head:
"Okay, I see."

After thinking about it, he suddenly felt again.

These 300 assimilation points are well spent.

Three hundred assimilation points in exchange for so many in-depth secrets is unheard of before. Why are those reincarnated outsiders not interested at all?

Fu Qinghai told Paregal his doubts.

Paregal was not surprised, and said:

"For a powerful advanced player like you, you don't care about three hundred assimilation points, but for those reincarnated people who are still struggling in the life and death of the reincarnation world, with three hundred points, they can assimilate a car. Motorcycles, or a few machine guns, a piece of body armor, ammunition, drinking water, food, etc... Even if they know these secrets and analysis, so what, can they live through the next reincarnation? No. So..."

Paregal shrugged and did not continue.

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly.

This is true.

Before he knew it, Fu Qinghai had become one of the so-called "advanced players". He was no longer satisfied with "living well", but began to think about the meaning and essence of reincarnation.

"Okay, then the next question, let's talk about the major clubs with me, let's...let's start with the perfect human beings."

Fu Qinghai said.
