Wasteland Development Diary

"...These are all the things I know."

Xiao Chu said somewhat uneasily.

He is 24 years old this year, but he is already an experienced tailor with 8 years of experience.

Now, Xiao Chu is wearing a divinely bestowed new garment—it's an unremarkable gray robe, but it has the effect of attracting attention, as if it has its own spotlight.

When Zhou Yi looked at him, a thought popped into his head: This is a simple and honest person.

Panoramic Reading activated on the divinely bestowed new garment.

[This substance has a certain one-way information transmission capability.]

Continue analyzing.

[Consciousness conversion rate: 0.00177%]

The conversion rate is much higher than that of a mobile phone, but the gap with the consciousness nerve is still huge.

Zhou Yi continued to read.

[The consciousness of this substance is weak.]

Huh?

This so-called divinely bestowed new garment... could it be a kind of consciousness entity?

Zhou Yi continued to observe, but could not obtain more information.

So he summoned the Cat God.

This one is a conceptual lifeform, more accurate in judging the realm of consciousness, and has a deeper understanding.

"Chairman, there are indeed fragments of consciousness in this garment. It is a medium used to connect specific consciousness entities."

"The divinely bestowed new garment is the carrier of that god. It can appear on everyone who wears the garment through these new garments."

"This new garment has a special consciousness structure fixed to it, which can form a consciousness link with the wearer, thereby triggering a special mechanism, that is, the two must be consistent in order to manifest externally."

"But it's very strange. If it is a conceptual life, it should state its name in order to increase its own consciousness coverage, but it has not mentioned its real name at all."

It said: "Chairman, I'll go check where the source of the new garment is."

"Go."

Hiding its name and making new clothes with other people's experiences.

Is it just a personal preference?

Zhou Yi thought to himself, and turned his gaze to Xiao Chu: "You said that the god was a headless bird, are there any other characteristics?"

"No, it's just that the wings are particularly wide, there is no head, and by the way, there are no claws either."

Xiao Chu recalled: "To be special... the first time I saw the bird god was when I was making clothes for my wife. That was also the first divinely bestowed new garment, about a year ago."

Zhou Yi's heart moved: "You made clothes for your wife, did anything unusual happen at that time?"

"At that time last year..."

The young tailor frowned and fell into thought.

"There were some uncommon things. That day, there was always a squeaking monkey sound outside the tailor shop. I opened it but couldn't find where the monkey was."

"I was very scared at the time, because according to the usual practice, this was a red-haired monster coming to scout. If I couldn't produce what they wanted, the entire store would be torn down by them."

Xiao Chu said: "I thought I was dead, and I was ready to pack up and flee immediately, and told my wife not to go home. I stayed in the mountains for a month, and when I went back, I found that everything was fine."

"The shop was not torn down, and I never heard the red-haired monster's cry again."

"Then I heard the voice of that god."

"The bird god must have driven them away."

Zhou Yi remained noncommittal.

At this time, the Electric Cat returned, and also brought a person.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Chu looked surprised, because the person who came was his wife, Chen Yin.

Chen Yin smiled: "The chairman asked me to come."

Zhou Yi said: "I'll chat with Nurse Chen about the hospital."

"Okay."

Xiao Chu said goodbye and left.

Then Zhou Yi looked at Chen Yin: "You are the god who doesn't want to reveal her name?"

Chen Yin nodded: "It's me."

She looked refined and delicate, her clothes were clean, her long hair was tied behind her head, and her eyes were clear.

But the Cat God had already locked onto her.

With Panoramic Reading, it can be directly discovered through comparison that Chen Yin and Xiao Chu, Fang Hui, and the divinely bestowed new garments on their bodies all have strong consciousness links.

The so-called god has always been by Xiao Chu's side.

Zhou Yi said: "Would you like something to drink?"

"Is there anything sweet? I like desserts."

Zhou Yi nodded.

Yuanxiao next to her poured her a glass of white peach flavored sparkling water.

Chen Yin picked up the drink and drank it slowly.

Zhou Yi was curious: "You can manipulate consciousness entities, but you are not a conceptual lifeform, who are you?"

"Me?"

The young nurse held a paper cup: "I have many names. I used to be a storyteller traveling around, recording strange tales and anecdotes about gods and ghosts. Later, I was called the Book-Eating Demon. Weren't you inquiring about me?"

Zhou Yi was a little surprised this time.

The Book-Eating Demon has become a human?

Panoramic Reading displayed.

[This unit has a certain amount of intelligence and weak consciousness.]

Chen Yin looks like a very normal new human.

If it weren't for the consciousness connection, it would be difficult to associate her with the famous Book-Eating Demon.

"Have you really become a human?"

The Book-Eating Demon raised her cup: "Please give me another cup, this is delicious."

Yuanxiao went to refill her cup.

Then the Book-Eating Demon looked at Zhou Yi and said: "Actually, I have tried many directions before, such as becoming a mechanical and electrical lifeform. Their computing power is superb, and it is best to use them for recording."

"But I soon discovered that mechanical and electrical lifeforms are not good. They are trapped by programs, and their physiological mechanisms determine that they are data-only. What they pursue is a more efficient program. If a piece of information will affect the efficient operation of the entire program, then they will put it aside and discard it without hesitation."

"The advantage of Guang Na's species is that they have both strong bodies and unrestricted minds. It's a pity that they over-rely on their muscle strength, and their roots are still in hunting culture. What they experience is nothing more than one battle after another, which is too monotonous and repetitive."

"Humans are fragile, but their numbers are huge. They are widely distributed on the land of this world. In order to survive, they need to make various efforts and attempts, maintaining a high degree of diversity. They have many professions, set foot in various places, and also record and witness all aspects of this world."

"So I finally chose the human perspective."

Chen Yin finished another cup of drink, smiled and raised her hand and said: "Please give me another cup."

The latest novels are first published at Six Nine Books Bar!

Yuanxiao nodded and refilled her cup again.

"You should know that in the past I was called the Book-Eating Demon because I would eat a lot of books, especially the records of the old humans in the age of gods, and I also eat contemporary books. Of course, it is not really eating those papers, but collecting the information on them and taking them away."

The Book-Eating Demon said this.

"I do this because my ability is [Book Eating]. Collecting records of various events that exist in this world, and completely cutting them off from existing carriers, turning them into my own possession."

"The next step is [Writing Books], organizing these events and compiling them into a book that will never be finished, describing the changes in the world, which is the [Book of All Living Beings]."

"Whether in the past or now, everything I do is for writing this book."

She opened her hand, and a thick-skinned book like a dictionary appeared on her palm.

Under the black cover, there were pages of white paper with words written on them. The pages slowly opened, like a bird spreading its wings.

The headless bird that Xiao Chu saw was it.

Zhou Yi read it.

[This unit has LV1 level photonuclear body information, and the structure is relatively stable.]

Photonuclear body level.

Zhou Yi didn't understand, and asked Xiao Fu in his heart.

"The previous cave dweller energy block was the energy of the photonuclear body level, but the Book of All Living Beings is the information of the photonuclear body... I remember that information cannot fully express consciousness, what does this represent?"

"Da Zhou, information is a packaged fragment of consciousness. The whole world is said to be divided into the material side and the consciousness side, but in fact the two sides are intertwined and highly related to each other. Information is an intermediate state between matter and consciousness."

"Matter is transformed into information, and information is transformed into consciousness. This is the whole process, and the reverse is the same."

"A lot of energy is needed throughout the transformation process, and the flow and change of information cannot be separated from energy."

The Surluster described it as: "Information without energy is a pool of stagnant water, just like the solidified words on paper. It is called a fragment of consciousness because it has no activity and evolution. To be called consciousness or a consciousness entity, it needs to have energy itself and still have the ability to move and change."

Zhou Yi simplified and sorted it out.

If you regard the world as water.

Matter is solid ice, information is liquid water, and consciousness is water vapor.

Under normal circumstances, they are transformed layer by layer.

Xiao Fu said again: "This intermediate layer of information also has unique advantages. It is between the material side and the consciousness side and can be arbitrarily transformed towards both sides."

"It is not subject to the supervision of the Great Holy Spirit."

"So I think that the Book-Eating Demon ultimately chose to maintain the information layer and split its complete consciousness entity into a large number of fragments of consciousness to avoid the supervision of the Great Holy Spirit. Being in an intermediate state, the Celestial cannot directly affect her... This move is really courageous."

Zhou Yi looked at the Book-Eating Demon in front of him: "Are you avoiding the Great Holy Spirit?"

"Did you think of it? After all, it is the famous electromechanical destroyer..."

The female nurse smiled: "Do you know what kind of information is the most powerful?"

Zhou Yi thought for a moment: "True information."

"That's right."

The Book-Eating Demon said: "Many years ago, when I was still a storyteller, I often traveled between matter and consciousness. I collected and purchased information from various places, and then recorded them."

"But I slowly discovered that a part of consciousness would always be lost. After I transformed the information related to that part of consciousness, I found that it was related to one thing."

Zhou Yi thought of it immediately: "The Celestial?"

The other party shook her head and took a sip of sparkling water.

"It was the day when the Huanliu impacted the earth."

"Any consciousness related to it has been erased. No one will remember that day, and no trace of records of that day can be found in the fragments of consciousness."

Zhou Yi frowned.

That's true.

He himself had tried various ways to find out what exactly happened on the day the old humans were destroyed. But so far, he has gained nothing.

The starting point of the wasteland era was the day when the Huanliu broke out.

"The Great Holy Spirit existed before the Huanliu, after all, there were old humans at that time. In any case, the Great Holy Spirit should have records there."

The Book-Eating Demon slowly said: "After years of investigation and tracing, I found that that part of consciousness was deleted and cleaned up by the Great Holy Spirit. Only that part is a forbidden area that cannot be verified."

"Skipping those tedious search and verification parts, I will directly say the conclusion."

"The Great Holy Spirit of this world has been controlled."

"That thing and the Celestial have divided the material side and the consciousness side of this world."

Zhou Yi felt a little creepy listening to it.

Apart from the Celestial, is there another group of rulers behind the wasteland earth?

Are they the Golden Elephant Herders?
