Chapter 043 "Creator" 1
After returning to his office, Chen She sat in front of the silver-gray desk and placed three small bottles of space-time particles on the table.
He took it from the warehouse, saying he was "doing some research".
Actually, there is nothing wrong with saying this, except that he is not studying space-time particles, but studying himself.
Chen She suspected that the original owner's ritual had not completely failed. The various strange phenomena that occurred to him were proof of this.
But to say that the ceremony was a success seems a bit hasty at this point.
After all, Chen She seems to have not yet successfully obtained any profession and is still a weakling.
Although he did have a strong gift of synesthesia, his psychic abilities were no longer felt at all. He was unable to control objects with his mind or influence people's minds with his mind.
For people with synesthesia, space-time particles are a powerful supplement that can indeed further enhance synesthesia.
Of course, as the dosage increases, there may be a risk of getting out of control.
So Chen She didn't dare take too much. He just took three small bottles and wanted to try to absorb it to see if there would be any changes in his body as a result.
He opened the three vials one by one and poured the space-time particles into his palm.
Just like before, these space-time particles quickly gathered into Chen She's palm and gradually merged into his body, bringing him an inexplicable sense of comfort and pleasure.
This feeling is a bit like a hungry person catching something delicious and eating it with relish.
However, after absorbing all three small bottles of space-time particles, Chen She not only did not have a strong sense of satisfaction, but instead felt a little unsatisfied.
It’s like a person who has been hungry for a long time. After eating a little, the feeling of hunger becomes even stronger.
"You can't eat anymore. Why are you still so greedy? This stuff isn't a good thing. What if you eat too much and lose control?"
This feeling of not being full made Chen She feel a little uncomfortable, but he still forced himself to hold it back.
Because reason told him that his current understanding of space-time particles was still very superficial. Since he knew that there was a risk of losing control if he took too much of this stuff, he must never overdose.
In order to divert his attention, Chen She began to seriously consider the bracelet and Super Dream Game Cabin products to be discussed in tomorrow's meeting.
For these two products, Chen She’s goal is clear: niche and small profit.
It would be better if these two products can make money, because if they don’t, then the Resistance will definitely go back to their old OEM business.
But it can't make too much money, because the explosive popularity of "Embers of Demise" has made Lishan Technology the focus of attention, and its popularity has far exceeded its ability to bear.
If it were just an ordinary company, of course the more famous it is, the better, but that is not the case with Lishan Technology!
This is a den of traitors. The greater its fame means more people will pay attention to it, and the major chaebols will also keep a closer eye on it. Wouldn't it be easier to be exposed?
Moreover, Chen She hopes that the manufacturing line will advance slowly and steadily.
Because the highest point of this manufacturing line must be high-end military equipment manufacturing, and the more money the manufacturing industry makes and the faster it makes money, the shorter the time it takes to reach this highest point.
Once the rebels start producing their own weapons, it won't be long before they actually go to war with the big capitalists.
Considering that the success of "Embers of Demise" has brought widespread attention to Lishan Technology, Chen She feels that as long as the bracelets and Mewtwo game cabins he produces are acceptable, they will definitely be popular.
Therefore, things like bracelets and Mewtwo game cabins have to be as weird as possible and designed to be more niche in order to meet his requirements.
Fortunately, Chen She now has strong painting skills. After careful consideration, he quickly drew the prototype design drawings of the two products.
After completing all this, Chen She felt sleepy. After washing up, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
…
In the boundless wilderness, Chen She was walking alone.
Time snow was falling from the sky. The white snowflakes covered the wasteland, emitting a light blue sheen under the light.
"……here we go again!"
Chen She was quite speechless.
He was clearly aware that he was in a dream, the same nightmare he had had many times before.
Chen She closed his eyes and tried hard, but he found that he couldn't wake up.
With no other options, he opened his eyes again.
Everything here is extremely real, and compared with the previous times, it seems to have changed a bit.
He originally remembered that there was nothing in the distance where heaven and earth met, only a vast skyline, but at this moment, the remains of a city seemed to appear in the distance.
It was as if the mega-city had just suffered a devastating disaster, with only ruins left of the skyscrapers and no signs of human activity.
Perhaps under the erosion of the snow of time, this huge city ruins will soon be reduced to ruins, and will completely disappear under the snow of time in a very short time.
The terrifying black space-time beast tide that had been seen before did not appear, and the surroundings seemed very quiet.
At this moment, Chen She suddenly discovered someone!
This is a Western man with gold-rimmed glasses and an elegant appearance. At this moment, he is making tea step by step and very patiently.
In the boundless wasteland, it was still snowing, but this person was leisurely making tea. The whole picture had an indescribable sense of incongruity.
However, there was an empty chair opposite the tea table, which seemed to be prepared for Chen She.
Chen She took a few steps forward and was thinking about how to start talking when he heard the middle-aged man say, "Finally here."
"You arrived much later than I expected."
"Please sit down first."
Chen She sat down opposite the middle-aged man, and then the middle-aged man raised his hand to signal him that he could taste the tea on the table.
In his dream, Chen She had nothing to be afraid of, so he picked it up and took a sip.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "This is a tea specially provided by the big shots on Silver Star. I tasted it once and remembered its taste. How is it? Not bad, right?"
Chen She answered truthfully: "Generally speaking."
"Can you explain a question to me first?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "You ask."
Chen She: "Why did Epsilon, the wanted criminal in the old land and the chief priest of the Space-Time Knights, appear in my dream?"
Epsilon looked at him with some confusion, as if he thought the question Chen She asked was very strange.
But Chen She's expression was quite sincere.
Epsilon said: "This is not a dream, but your conscious world."
"It is the great connection of time and space that binds us together and allows us to change the world together. Have you forgotten?"
"It seems that the damage caused by the ritual to you is greater than I thought. No wonder you didn't respond even though I called you many times in your conscious world."
Chen She and Epsilon stared at each other, and the scene froze for a moment.
Chen She found that even in a dream state, his thoughts were working very quickly. In an instant, he thought of all the strange phenomena before and came up with many guesses.
When Chen She recognized Epsilon for the first time, his heart broke.
Oh my god!
This nightmare became more and more outrageous. I even dreamt of the leader of the Space-Time Knights. Does this mean that I will never be able to return from the path of treason?
First it was the Resistance, then the Knights of Time and Space. If this continues, he should soon replace Epsilon and become the most wanted criminal in the Old Land.
After all, these two ultimate anti-thief organizations have always been incompatible with each other, and no one has ever been able to establish a relationship with both of them at the same time.
From this point of view, Chen She can be considered a popular commodity.
However, Epsilon, the ultimate boss of the seventh-level energy fluctuation, was taken down by the chaebols, and he was just an ordinary person who could do nothing but carving!
Moreover, Chen She soon discovered something even worse: this did not seem to be a dream, because he could actually communicate with Epsilon.
And looking at the appearance of this Epsilon...it seems that he is very familiar with me?
You said we wanted to change the world together, but who made that agreement with you?
Could it be that……
Chen She suddenly realized that Epsilon was definitely related to the ritual of the original owner!
Because this kind of ritual definitely requires very complex synesthesia knowledge. The original owner had no access to this knowledge in the resistance army, nor did he have any synesthesia talent. Where did this knowledge come from?
It can only come from Epsilon!
In other words... Epsilon has always been lurking in my consciousness, and the previous nightmare was actually Epsilon sending me information?
However, due to his mental damage, he was unable to accurately receive this information, so it manifested itself in the form of a nightmare.
If it was the original owner, he would definitely think of Epsilon immediately, and collect space-time particles as quickly as possible to enhance his synesthesia ability, and soon enter the world of consciousness to communicate directly with Epsilon.
But Chen She didn't know this, so he was completely indifferent...
This situation is a bit like Epsilon constantly sending pop-up windows, asking over and over, "Are you there? Are you there? Are you alive?"
But Chen She had no idea that someone was calling him. He just thought there was a bug in his computer. He uninstalled the virus several times but couldn't find out what the problem was.
This is quite embarrassing.
Chen She was silent for a moment, then said, "Can you tell me again what happened? My memory was damaged after the ceremony, and I don't remember anything."
Epsilon took a sip of tea and nodded: "Okay."
Chen She was a little surprised. He didn't expect Epsilon to agree so readily.
Because from the information Chen She obtained from the Internet, Epsilon was definitely a true psychopath, and was fundamentally different from himself who others mistakenly believed to be a psychopath.
As the chief priest of the Knights of Spacetime, it was he who proposed the ultimate goal of the Knights of Spacetime, "to transform human life forms into spacetime life."
He was known as the most dangerous wanted criminal in the Old Land. Although he was finally crushed by the coalition of big capitalists, he had persisted for at least a dozen years before that.
Such a person is absolutely insidious, cunning, cruel, and full of evil.
I didn't expect that he would agree so readily and agreed to reveal this information to Chen She.
But when Chen She thought about it, the motive made sense.
First of all, Epsilon and the original owner should be in a relationship of exploitation or mutual exploitation. If they want to continue exploitation, they have to make some things clear, otherwise Chen She will not cooperate.
Secondly, it is very likely that Epsilon has lost its physical body and can only reside in Chen She's consciousness.
Or maybe Epsilon's consciousness actually existed in the world of time and space, and the image Chen She saw at the moment was just something like a holographic projection. The two could only communicate, and Epsilon could not influence Chen She's mind.
Most of the things he wanted to do required Chen She's cooperation.
Therefore, Epsilon must first inform Chen She of these contents.
Of course, you can't believe everything he says. There must be a lot of misleading information here, so you have to be careful to distinguish it.
Chen She silently raised his vigilance, pretending to drink tea while listening to Epsilon's story.
Epsilon said calmly, without much ups and downs in his tone: "Although the Corporate Alliance destroyed my body, my spirit managed to escape, passed through the space-time rift, and wandered freely in the space-time world."
“I gained a lot of knowledge in it, and I am constantly looking for ways to return to the real world.”
"The speed of time in the space-time world is completely different from that in the real world. After a long time, I finally found you."
"You have a strong spiritual power, so I tried to establish a connection with you. We found that some of our ideas are highly consistent with each other, and we both have a strong desire to change the world."
"So, together we came up with a plan, a plan to become a professional 'creator' that only existed in theory."
“And we succeeded.”
Chen She exclaimed, "What a good fellow."
Sure enough, this ritual could not have been figured out by the original owner himself; it was Epsilon who was behind it!
The original owner's motivation for doing this should be out of a strong desire to change the world.
In fact, Chen She has always had a question. Logically speaking, the original owner is so smart, completely different from a reckless man like Zhang Sirui and a rookie like Zhou Lei. How could he not see that the actions of the rebels have no possibility of success?
It makes sense that the original owner insisted because of his faith. It is also the right way to earn military funds for the resistance army by replacing old with new with the Chen Group. However, in this environment, if nothing special happens, even if the Chen Group makes money for another hundred years, it may not be able to really defeat the big capitalists.
Therefore, Chen She always felt that the original owner must have other plans.
Now he understood that it was precisely because the original owner felt that the current situation was not a long-term solution that he finally decided to take the risk and cooperate with Epsilon, courting disaster!
According to their plan, after completing this ritual, they can transform themselves into a "creator", a special profession that only exists in theory.
If this is really an extremely rare and extremely powerful special profession, then the original owner can naturally obtain a powerful combat power that is above everything else, and then it will become possible to overthrow all the big capitalists in the old land.
Epsilon continued, "It's just that something unexpected happened during the ceremony."
"Although I am the human being with the most knowledge of time and space in this world, there are still some unexpected situations that I cannot predict."
"So, I could only try to make up for it. When your spirit was about to be torn apart, I looked for something to fill it from the cracks in time and space, and tried my best to keep your spirit stable."
"Judging from the results so far... the ceremony was largely successful."
Chen She couldn't help but secretly complain, indeed, it was largely successful, but the original owner's spirit has been killed by you...
Apparently, in order to save the original owner's torn spirit, Epsilon found something from the space-time rift to fill it, but what he didn't know was that the original owner was actually gone, and Chen She inexplicably came through.
But the ceremony did live up to its original expectations to some extent.
Zhang Sirui said before that the reason why professions with primary psychic power and secondary synesthesia only exist in theory is because the spiritual power of psychic power comes from the person himself, while the spiritual power of synesthesia comes from the mysterious power of time and space.
Synesthesia is naturally stronger than psychic power, so to achieve this state, one needs a person with particularly strong synesthesia knowledge who can suppress the synesthesia ability through certain means.
Only Epsilon, a curse scholar with level 7 energy fluctuations, could do such a thing.
Obviously, the previous ceremony was actually Epsilon transforming the original owner's life form, allowing him to gain synesthesia, while at the same time suppressing the synesthesia within a certain range, thus successfully allowing the profession of "creator", which only existed in theory, to appear in Chen She.
Chen She was silent for a moment, then said, "So, those strange phenomena that happened to me are actually related to this profession?"
"Is it because my power is gradually awakening that I have gained these special abilities?"
Epsilon said: "Part of it comes from the special abilities of my profession, 'Curse Scholar'."
"Don't you find it strange? Why do people around you have a special trust and admiration for you? Why can you make everyone agree with your opinion even if you say something a little far-fetched?"
Chen She was stunned for a moment, then felt a little ashamed.
Sorry, I really don’t think there is anything wrong with these!
In fact, Chen She himself knew that some of the words he used to deceive the rebels could not stand up to careful scrutiny, but he still carried out his ideas every time.
At first Chen She thought that this was because everyone in the company trusted , so he could also benefit from it.
After all, I am a time traveler. Isn't it normal for me to have a bit of domineering aura?
This is what is written in most books, and no one has delved into why.
But now that I think about it, it really doesn’t make sense.
Things are obviously not that simple!
Epsilon drank tea and said, "All professions related to synaesthesia can obtain information about their characteristics. Although some details cannot be made particularly accurate, the abilities that should be understood can be understood."
"You took in too few space-time particles, so you have only just reached the second-level energy fluctuation."
"For many things, you can figure out the answers yourself."
"Well, there's no need to dwell on the details now. The ritual has been completed, and the connection between you and me has been reestablished."
Epsilon's eyes revealed a fanatical look: "You now possess both the two top rare professions of 'Creator' and 'Curse Scholar'. You were born to create a new world!"
"With these two professions, everything you want to do can be accomplished easily with just a few moves!"
“Whether it is the great cause of overthrowing all the big chaebols and rebuilding the old land, or the attempt to rewrite all human life forms and embrace the life of time and space, it will all become a reality in your omnipotent hands!”
Chen She was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, what is the price?"
Epsilon was stunned for a moment. "The price? Your first reaction was not to be excited about this great vision, but to consider the price?"
Chen She looked at Epsilon carefully. He was obviously not attracted by the picture Epsilon described. Instead, he felt that there was a big problem here.
A dangerous person appeared in his own consciousness and madly bewitched him to complete his crazy and evil plan. This is already a big problem!
Obviously, Epsilon's physical body is gone, and he should be lingering on in the world of time and space, unable to cause too much interference in the real world.
It was not easy to find Chen She as a springboard.
Therefore, Chen She believed that Epsilon could only complete his plan by transferring some knowledge or power to him, using himself as a medium.
For Chen She, he was just a tool to Epsilon. If possible, he had no doubt that Epsilon would directly take over his body, resurrect with his body, gather all the members of the Knights of Time and Space, and complete the evil plan of destroying all mankind.
The reason why Epsilon was so polite to him now... was probably because Epsilon was trapped, and without his cooperation, he would not be able to exert much influence on the real world.
However, it was obvious that Epsilon only considered himself as a tool, and there was no sincerity in what he said.
Chen She suspected that Epsilon had concealed 90% of the information and only revealed the most deceptive 10%.
