Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?
Chapter 942: Freed from Games, Devoting Themselves to the Blessing of Work
"Lord Witch, I wonder what instructions you have for calling me here this time?"
Tang En spoke with a very humble tone.
Although his power and influence in the Truth Protection Association had soared in just these few days, precisely because of this, he felt even more that he could not defy the figure before him.
"The root network of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree has almost covered the entire city, so there's no need to play house anymore. It's time for the old president of this association to step down, and you should also work harder."
"Yes!"
Although Tang En felt some pressure, he still agreed.
Wasn't it just that his next actions needed to be more aggressive?
Having already mastered such power, why wouldn't he dare!
Originally, he wanted to climb to the top step by step in a slightly gentler way.
But if this Calamity Witch hoped for him to do it this way, it wasn't impossible!
He had already become one of the top people in the association.
With power in hand, he could seize power by force at any time.
As for Banned Accounts?
In front of the Power Network, that thing was long outdated!
In the end, if those people didn't approve of his actions, he wouldn't mind helping those old guys "leave with dignity."
The only trouble was those outsiders.
Everyone had seen the strength of outsiders.
Even with the power of the Power Network, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to confront them.
But didn't he still have this backer in front of him?
"I am very satisfied that you agreed so decisively. I know it might be somewhat difficult for you to do so, so I have prepared some extra means for you."
With a casual swipe, I transmitted a list to Tang En's Seed of Great Knowledge.
"This is..."
Tang En was overjoyed hearing that I would give him some extra means!
However, after seeing that it was a list recording detailed information about quite a few people, he couldn't help but look strange, not knowing what I meant.
"These few outsiders are already dead. Replacing them are my clones."
I said to Tang En in a calm tone, words that instantly made his pupils shrink!
"If needed, just let them cooperate with you. Whether you stage a betrayal drama or pull off a reverse encirclement, anything is fine. I don't care about the process; I only want the result."
"Y... Yes! I understand!"
Tang En nodded frantically.
This was the first time he witnessed a more terrifying side of this Calamity Witch.
And he actually knew nothing about it...
Just like that, silently, the people on this list died... and were openly replaced by clones?
"Then... then I wonder how strong these clones are?"
Tang En carefully asked after forcing himself to calm down.
Heaven knew if the people on this list were all of them.
Could there be a possibility that many people in the association had also become clones of this lord?
One must know that killing ordinary people was much easier than killing those outsiders!
"Heh Seems I forgot to tell you about this."
Being asked by Tang En, I realized I really didn't seem to have mentioned it.
"I should have told you when I gave you my business card last time. Looks like I forgot, but it doesn't matter; it's not too late for you to know now."
Just as Tang En was confused, I spoke slowly again:
"The me in front of you now is also a clone. When your Truth Protection Association first summoned me, it was this clone that came over. My main body has never come to this world."
"Even if all the outsiders in this world unite to encircle and kill me, that business card in your hand can still summon me over."
After I finished speaking, Tang En was completely dumbfounded at this moment...
Clone!
This Calamity Witch in front of him was actually just a clone!
Just a clone was so powerful, then the other party's main body... wouldn't it destroy this world in minutes?
Besides horror and trembling, he rejoiced that he stood on the right side.
Following such a lord, even if this lord could rule this world, he could also benefit!
And at this moment, he finally understood how significant it was when the Calamity Witch gave him that business card that could summon her!
And how much the other party trusted him!
"Of course, this clone of mine is special. Those clones wearing vests might not compare to this clone of mine in strength, but their strength is still enough to match those outsiders."
"Thank you for your trust, Lord Witch! We will absolutely not disappoint your expectations and cultivation, Lord Witch!"
"Alright, no need to continue flattering. Next, you can also try to support some civilian organizations in the city, try to let them gradually get rid of game dependence. I know this is hard, but immersing themselves in games cannot provide us with any combat power. Reality is the game they should play."
"Yes! I understand! But... in that case, the number of Seeds of Knowledge..."
"Just come to collect regularly."
I turned my head to look at the four figures beside me.
There was still one that hadn't been made into a carrier for the Knowledge Mother Tree, but if there were five... then this quantity was completely sufficient.
"The number of Seeds of Knowledge will only increase in the future. You don't need to worry about this. Let them taste the sweetness of mastering non-extraordinary power first, make them serve us voluntarily. If they are disobedient, cut off the permission of the Power Network directly. I shouldn't need to teach you these, right?"
"Naturally no need! Please trust Tang En's ability, Lord Witch. I will handle all these properly!"
"I naturally trust your ability."
I nodded with a smile.
Who doesn't like capable subordinates?
"In addition, I have some important things here for you to supervise. This concerns some layout and development issues later."
"Please speak, Lord Witch! I will do my best to complete the task!"
Tang En became excited immediately upon hearing that there was an important task for him.
These were all opportunities for him to perform well!
And this also included future development and planning, enough to show the importance attached to him.
"Take this."
I took out the storage equipment again.
This wasn't originally carried by the clone.
After all, when the clone came, I didn't have plans in this regard yet.
"Inside is..."
Tang En took this Storage Card and asked.
He had already seen the magic of storage equipment, so he naturally knew how to use this.
"This is the production equipment supporting the Root Network, a plant technology system docked with the Root Network as the core."
I explained: "I will transmit the supporting relevant knowledge and application to you through the Seed of Great Knowledge. You can also transmit these data to other Seeds of Knowledge through this. Technical personnel should also be equipped with Seeds of Knowledge. Just don't grant Power Network permission; no need to be stingy with Seeds of Knowledge."
The things I mentioned were equivalent to a batch of industrial assembly lines that had been verified in the Expansion Realm and were quite mature.
Inside the Storage Card were the prototypes of supporting relevant equipment, which were the so-called plant technology mother seeds, or simply seeds.
When plant technology developed to this level, plant growth could already not follow the inertial thinking of ordinary people.
It could be said that plants were equivalent to relevant large-scale production equipment, or even plant production mother machines, etc.
And the reason I gave Tang En these things was naturally because the industrial base of this Game World was too low.
Even with such huge surface and underground building complexes, these were all built with extraordinary power.
Relying on the scarce historical records of this world, there were once architect-related professions among players.
The buildings in this world hadn't changed for a long time.
This mainly relied on the permanence of Transcendent Pixels produced by the Myriad Worlds Terminal shaped with [Transcendent Knowledge] as the core.
The scarcity and marginalization of the architect profession made rare architects serve only those high-level people.
Those people could live in different luxurious buildings every day, but the lower-class people could only live alone in those deconstructed floors framed by Transcendent Pixels.
Of course, even different buildings were not artistic breakthroughs on the Game World's own level, but direct deconstruction, or even copying artistic buildings from other worlds!
Not to mention construction, just talking about item production.
The most used appliances in this world were... game equipment accessing the Myriad Worlds Terminal.
It could be said that this Game World was a huge internet cafe, and the residence was the level of a single room in an internet cafe.
I didn't think this analogy was inappropriate; it was even very apt!
The poor used game equipment uniformly issued or leased by the group, mostly helmet-style or docking-style.
High-end ones included game cabins or docking equipment integrated with furniture.
The rest were mostly processing factories for food, water, beverages, nutrient solutions, and the like.
Recalling the communicator Tang En gave me back then, this was the current technological level of this Game World.
It was the same in other aspects.
Even travel vehicles were very scarce.
The roads between buildings were actually more of veritable "pedestrian streets."
The so-called single-person aircraft, just discussing the travel effect, was actually configured similarly to a personal e-scooter, but even this hadn't reached the level of one per person.
Wanting to do something in this world, basically, even money couldn't buy or achieve it.
This was also the work of the Infinite Group.
Using the contrast between games and reality, and the cost issues of real life, they subtly trapped a person in the game world forever.
Probably their ultimate goal was to turn everyone into shut-ins men and women.
Staying indoors, only knowing to play games, becoming the most basic labor unit in the game, constantly harvested by the upper level.
All needs in this world were nearly unified.
Anything with personal characteristics, even special labelled things, was outrageously expensive.
And all this was to minimize cost expenditure when serving the lower-class people, providing everything remaining for the upper-class people to enjoy.
If the lower-class people didn't work, how could the upper-class people live comfortably?
Members of the Supreme Council and their families, forces, etc., Game Architects of different levels, and high-end game players with different staffing, these people all wanted to live a wealthy life.
Reducing the quality of life would cause trouble.
So, what I handed to Tang En at this moment would be the initial opportunity for change in this world.
After people were directly liberated from games, the operation of supporting facilities in reality and a large amount of demand wouldn't be generated out of thin air like in games.
But thinking about it this way, liberating the people of this Game World from the suffering of brick-moving in games, and then pushing them into the blessing of 996 work...
Seems a bit like a hell joke...
"After going back, find professionals to lead. If there are no relevant professionals, form a temporary team. Just follow your own needs. I don't ask you to do it very well. These are just the most basic constructions, serving yourselves, understand?"
"Understood!"
Tang En nodded solemnly in response.
After harvesting another wave of Seeds of Knowledge for Tang En to take, I sent him away.
When Tang En left and came downstairs, there was already a special convoy meeting Tang En here.
Although Tang En looked as humble as could be upstairs just now, down here, he was already the most potential vice president of the Truth Protection Association.
Too many of his subordinates wanted to progress.
If Tang En got any instructions from that Calamity Witch, believe that even the hardest and not-so-good jobs would be snatched up by someone.
Everyone had seen it.
The current branch divergence was simply too serious.
Those who stood on the right side first could only gamble.
As long as this Calamity Witch could win, they could bet everything!
It wasn't that they liked to take sides so early, but under some of Tang En's means, they were manipulated into having to take the right side.
This was their current situation.
They had no turning back.
***
At this moment, I stood on the viewing platform, watching the convoy leaving far away, but my thoughts had drifted to a farther place.
The Game World was really big.
The Plant World back then was just a small world.
I didn't know how far I traveled just by traveling, and eventually gave up on traveling around the world.
This Game World was a medium-to-low world transforming into a large world.
Its size was unquestionable.
And the surface city of Igsuo... was ultimately just a small city on the edge of this world.
Its uniqueness lay in it being a surface city.
The places that accommodated the most population in this world were actually the Chaotic Areas and... Ground Seam Resettlement Areas.
Chaotic Areas were areas the Infinite Group disdained to rule and manage, only providing basic supplies and equivalent game equipment, etc., equivalent to... an area left to fend for itself.
And the reason the Infinite Group provided necessary supply channels here was because the harsh living environment in the Chaotic Areas often created some genius game players.
These people didn't even need staffing.
Just recruiting them in the game and providing game benefits could make them work for them.
Now, some game players constantly harassing the surface city of Igsuo belonged to this kind of players.
And the Ground Seam Resettlement Areas... compared to the Chaotic Areas, were relatively orderly resettlement areas.
Its population density was calculated based on the depth of the ground seam underground.
However deep it was, that much population could be accommodated.
It was simply a population density of people stacked on people.
Of course, people in the Game World couldn't possibly dig out ground seams to settle them.
The birth of these ground seams... heard it was related to the Infinite Energy Perpetuum Mobile.
It was just that the relevant explanation was vague.
But I had some ideas.
Wasn't that perpetuum mobile a creation centered on the Void Crack?
So I guessed these earth rifts were very likely caused by them tearing open the Void Crack for the first time back then.
After all, tearing a crack in a Secret Realm could destroy the Secret Realm completely.
If an accident happened, leaving earth rifts on the world's land was actually very reasonable.
However, they utilized this place to become Ground Seam Resettlement Areas.
I indeed felt this idea was great.
