Main God Creation Rules

Page 19

The idea had barely crossed my mind when I quickly dismissed it. After all, the situation in World Three might be even less optimistic than in World Two in some respects. Moreover, due to the different eras, many essential items could not be acquired in that world, and the energy required to bring them from World Zero would be too enormous.

Similarly, due to the collapse of social order in World Two, it was also unable to acquire the necessary equipment through normal channels, so in the end...

"There's no other way, let's find another one."

With a helpless tone, he asked the main god in his mind, "How many more world transfers can be carried out with the remaining energy?"

[Two times, the third time requires 542 hours of energy absorption]

"Before that, we must find a way to actively extract energy."

Clenching his right hand, Lin Yi had to admit that this mutated arm had given him a great deal of confidence. With the help of the God of War, he no longer needed to hide things as much as before.

"God, search for World No. 4. One condition is that it has the same level of technology as World No. 0. If it is too advanced, it may discover our anomaly through some incomprehensible means. The second condition is that there is no magic or superpowers. Of course, viruses are not allowed either."

[Login requirements confirmed, search in progress...]

What happened next was beyond Lin Yi's control. Unfortunately, although he could be considered a "superman" in the realm of "humanity" after his enhancements, the realm of gods, even a broken one, was far beyond his current reach.

With these chaotic thoughts in mind, I turned on the TV.

"A brutal murder case was recently discovered in City C. The police are making every effort to apprehend the killer and are reminding residents not to linger alone in secluded areas..."

Press it off.

【Target Confirmation】

He shook his head, dismissing those chaotic thoughts: "Let's go."

----------segmentation----------

Recently, a new family moved into Narumi City.

Unlike the residents who moved here for family or work reasons, the new resident is actually just one person, and doesn't seem to be in school.

Aside from coming out to buy a bunch of random things in the first few days after moving in, he was almost never seen after that. Sometimes, when Mr. Maeda, the landlord, knocked on the door because he was worried that something had happened to the new tenant with the unfamiliar accent, the tenant would appear immediately. However, he had never seen anyone let anyone into his house...

Overall, this was a fairly typical neighbor, except for being a bit withdrawn in communication... Until the moment Hanasaka Yui heard the explosion next door one night, that's what she thought.

"Cough...cough..."

Braving the thick black smoke, I groped along the wall and found the specially installed exhaust switch. I pressed it immediately, and after a while, the black smoke in the room finally dissipated, revealing the experimental table that had become a complete mess.

Although it was only a "slight" explosion, the impact was still beyond what those bottles and jars could withstand. While a large number of test tubes and glass bottles were reduced to fragments, more unidentified liquids mixed together and emitted an even more pungent odor.

"Cough cough... Why does it have to be so complicated when it's just a suppressant?"

Lin Yi rushed out the door and slammed the sealed door shut behind him. He wouldn't step into the room again until the smell dissipated. While adjusting his slightly heavy breathing due to lack of oxygen, he asked the main god, "Is this thing even rarer than enhancement potions?"

[Incorrect judgment]

"Then why is that?"

The enhancement agent has a manufacturing template, while the inhibition agent is a product under development.

His face instantly turned ashen: "So, even if it's successfully manufactured, I'll be the first test subject?!"

　(1) Phosphorus One (Seven) 罒舞jiu肆韭拔 [Correct Judgment]

Before Lin Yi could react, the doorbell rang.

He paused for a moment, then immediately ran to the monitor screen. After confirming that there was only a worried-looking girl standing in front of the door, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I really can't understand why you chose this apartment as the production site. It would be much better to go to the suburbs or find a separate villa."

Taking into account the overall environment, weather, distance to equipment purchase, and probability of exposure, this is the most suitable location.

"Like this?"

After glancing at the girl on the monitor, Lin Yi picked up a towel and wiped the dark gray residue off her face before walking towards the door.

Prototype: Chapter 41, Hanasaka Yui Raises a Question

Unlike her "strange" neighbor next door, Hanasaka Yui moved here mainly because of her studies. Her daily life is roughly between the school and the apartment. If nothing unexpected happens, she will probably get a good or bad grade in her exams in six months and then leave this apartment—becoming just a passerby in each other's lives.

However, because of this "explosion" that no one wanted to happen, the lifelines that should have been parallel came into contact at a certain point... even though it wasn't a pleasant one.

When Lin Yi opened the door, he instinctively put on that polite smile.

According to the God's explanation, this level of smile can avoid causing offense while also creating a sense of distance, making it probably the best choice for Lin Yi's current situation.

Facing the girl before him, he asked in a "confused" tone, "May I ask who you are?"

"Ah, um... I'm Hanasaka Yui, who lives next door."

Perhaps because she was a little shy, the girl who introduced herself as Hanasaka Yui blushed slightly as she introduced herself and bowed.

"No, no, no, you don't need to be so polite."

He waved his hand and looked at the girl opposite him with a questioning gaze: "Miss Hanasaka, is there something you need so late?"

"Yes……"

The girl hesitated slightly after bringing up the topic, after all, they were complete strangers who hadn't even spoken a word before, so wasn't it strange to suddenly ask about such a thing...? But in the end, the girl mustered her courage and asked, "I think I heard an explosion just now..."

Suddenly realizing she didn't know her neighbor's name, the girl had to stop midway through her sentence.

As if oblivious to Hanasaka Yui's concerns, Lin Yi maintained his puzzled expression: "Explosion? Was there?"

"Eh...it should be..."

Hearing Lin Yi say this, even she herself was not so sure. After all, it was already so late, and she was the only one who had come here so far. Maybe it was just a hallucination caused by being too tired from studying and the pressure of getting into a good school.

Thinking of this, Hanasaka Yui's face turned bright red: "I-I'm so sorry!"

"it's okay no problem."

Lin Yi waved his hand quite "generously" and said, "If there's nothing else, go back and rest quickly. It's not good to be out alone so late."

"Yes... I'm so sorry!"

After saying goodbye to his neighbor who had apologized several times, Lin Yi closed the door and the smile on his face vanished instantly: "God, is this the 'best place' you were talking about?"

The arrival of new residents is not included in the calculation.

Although he understood that what the main god said was correct, Lin Yi still couldn't help but be vigilant about encountering such a thing right at the start of the first experiment.

Originally, when Lin Yi found this apartment with the fewest tenants nearby based on the God's advice, he had already considered the possibility of an "explosion". That's why he chose this floor, which was uninhabited both above and below. However, he didn't expect that a "neighbor" would appear shortly after he finished preparing. It was the worst possible situation.

"Forget it, let's deal with this as soon as possible. If we're really exposed, we'll just leave this world."

Unlike World Zero, since humans were not born in this world, they naturally have no so-called "homeland sentiment." If they are discovered, it's just a matter of moving to another world. Of course, it would be best if they could complete the creation without being discovered.

With this mindset, after resting for a while, Lin Yi began the second manufacturing process.

----------segmentation----------

That night, Lady Luck seemed to have no favor to offer.

Twenty-three consecutive manufacturing attempts all ended in failure, not only wasting most of the materials brought, but also causing the metal of the prepared manufacturing equipment to be damaged during the testing process, thus forcing the manufacturing process to be stopped.

"Is there a problem with the formula you provided, or with my manufacturing method...?"

Rubbing my temples, the pungent smell that filled the room wasn't as unbearable as it had been at first, but rather served as a kind of refreshing and invigorating effect after a while.

[The initial assessment was incorrect; after repeated analysis of the formula and manufacturing method, it was determined that there were no technical issues.]

"But this is still a 0% success rate, which makes me see no hope at all."

Lin Yi couldn't help but think this way. You see, it was also being manufactured under the guidance of the main god. The only enhancement potion they had ever manufactured before had never failed. However, after taking over the manufacture of the "Infection Dominant State Suppression Potion," it had always ended in failure. Any normal person would feel impatient when they went from one extreme to another without any transition.

In response, the Supreme God simply displayed a series of characters on his retina.

Total number of manufacturing cycles: 104965488163

Success count: 9446893934

Number of failures: 95518594501

Success rate: 9%

"……What's this?"

[Enhanced Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Record Data]

Lin Yi's expression froze: "Including those I made before?"

[A correct judgment is essential; every successful action must be built upon countless failures, and this is especially true for the 'Main God Space'.]

After staring silently at the 9% number on his retina for a moment, he exhaled and said, "To actually have to let a half-crippled robot teach me a lesson, I'm such a failure as a human being."

[Incorrect judgments: First, the 'God' is not a silicon-based life form; second, after being infected by the virus, the host's identity is no longer purely human.]

"Ugh, I don't want to be human anymore."

Lin Yi created a new list of materials and damaged items that could be purchased in this world. Holding it, he communicated with the entity in his mind as he walked out of the house, only to unexpectedly run into a neighbor who was just leaving. He remembered the neighbor's name was…

"Hanasaka... Yui-san?"

"Ah, yes!"

Startled, the neighbor, who looked up instinctively with dark circles under her eyes and a weary expression, forced a smile upon seeing Lin Yi: "You're here really early."

"Each each other."

Judging from the bag in her hand, Lin Yi had no intention of continuing to pester her. She simply greeted her politely and was about to leave when she was suddenly called back.

"that--"

"Ok?"

"Have you asked your name yet?"

"name……"

Recalling the name he used when renting this apartment, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Just call me Yasuo."

Prototype: Chapter 42 Language Proficiency

After saying goodbye to my sleep-deprived new neighbors, the journey to purchase equipment and materials went without any unexpected setbacks. In this respect, I have to thank the "God" for his presence; otherwise, the language barrier alone would have been a huge problem.

"Proficiency in languages... from what you're saying, it sounds like a magical ability?"

[Incorrect judgments are made through the interpretation of thought processes, resulting in a more intuitive and vivid description within the host's consciousness.]

"I guess it's about directly reflecting the ideas you want to express into your own consciousness, rather than trying to understand them through language itself?"

[Correct judgment]

Upon hearing this interpretation, Lin Yi became somewhat interested: "So, even when facing someone who hasn't spoken, you can 'read' their thoughts—a higher level of mind reading?"

[Incorrect judgments and interpretations of thought only scratch the surface. If the person being interpreted believes that their "language" cannot convey the message or has a subjective intention to conceal something, then the specific thought process of that person cannot be explained.]

"Even this is quite good. At least to my knowledge, such technology has never appeared before."

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but the deity seemed to act strangely when faced with this sentence. Since I couldn’t observe its specific expression and tone, I could only “feel” it.

The acquisition of materials was completed smoothly, but on the way back, Lin Yi suddenly remembered something.

"I almost forgot, I also need to find a replacement weapon."

Firstly, the crossbow, which was previously the "main weapon," could no longer keep up with the rapidly increasing basic attributes. Secondly, it had already been lost in the battles of World Three. For now, it was alright, but if, after completing the manifestation suppression drug, they wanted to continue to go to World Two or World Three to collect intelligence, a weapon that could deal with various special situations would be essential. After all, there were worlds like World Three, where the productivity was only at the level of the steam age. Those "steam guns" that survived by relying on their local manufacturing capabilities couldn't even break through the defenses of the Kabane.

Therefore, a spare weapon is necessary, and preferably one that can withstand this superhuman strength...

"In addition, we also need to learn how to fight 'humans'."

The samurai who had died in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress left a deep impression on Lin Yi. On the one hand, the other was the first "human" enemy he had ever faced. On the other hand, the samurai had managed to close the gap with "skill" despite being inferior to Lin Yi in all aspects of basic attributes, and even almost managed to turn the tables.

Regardless of whether his blind Bushido spirit is right or wrong, the skills he honed for killing are definitely useful, since judging from what Lin Yi has been doing so far, he will certainly encounter similar situations many times in the future...

That being said, it's not something that can be done right now, since the issue with my right hand hasn't been resolved yet.

"Let's write this down first."

【Command confirmation】

----------segmentation----------

Over the next week, Lin Yi devoted almost all his energy to the manufacture of the "manifestation inhibition agent".

Because they were mentally prepared, they did not give up despite the repeated failures. In fact, as their confidence was constantly being eroded, they gradually forgot their original purpose in creating the drug and instead developed a stubborn mentality, repeatedly going through the same process...

until a certain day.

"God, time."
