Chapter 365 The Sun and Truth and Falsehood

Faced with Lin Liu's so-called "energy crisis", Zhao Si had no interest at all. After all, the main goal of playing the game was to pass it, and everything else was side plots and there was no need to pay too much attention to them.

But Lin Liu, the serious protagonist, seemed to have completely forgotten his identity and the main quest, and just threw himself into the insignificant side quests with the refreshed NPCs...

This is outrageous. If we continue like this, we won’t be able to pass the level even after thousands or tens of thousands of years!

"you……"

Zhao Si hesitated to speak, wanting to say that Lin Liu was wasting his time, but he knew very well that this was not Lin Liu's intentional act, he was just helpless out of helplessness.

He had done all he could, but what he couldn't do was really impossible. Knowing that nothing he did would help, Lin Liu's current choice was a way of paralyzing himself...

"never mind……"

With a long sigh, Zhao Si was too lazy to force him to do those meaningless things:

"Since you have given up on clearing the level and choose to spend your life in a dream, I can only do as you wish."

Anyway, Zhao Si has no strict requirements on whether or not to pass the level. If you can pass it, that's good, but if you can't, it doesn't matter.

On this basis, it is not impossible to make a decision to indulge the simulated protagonist.

But thinking about it this way, Zhao Si became a little confused:

"If the indicator for passing the level is whether the protagonist has achieved immortality, then Lin Liu has obviously achieved it a long time ago, right?"

Firstly, Lin Liu, who has become a god, has no lifespan limit at all. Secondly, judging from the current situation, there is nothing to worry about in terms of Lin Liu’s safety. With dozens of true gods under his command, he is not afraid of any threats in the dream world.

And as time goes by, Lin Liu will have more and more true gods in his hands. As long as he does not take the initiative to die, even if there is no Blood God Son, it will not affect his status and safety. The loyalty of all living beings to him is not false.

In other words, Lin Liu had already met the requirements, and his story should have ended!

Although the settlement evaluation will not be very high, it is still a clearance after all.

But until now, the fourth chapter has not ended yet, as if Lin Liu has also exerted his passive ability of "bug" in the simulation game.

Not only was the game stuck, but it was also stuck outside the game. The saints were afraid to end their dreams, and the system was slow to settle...

How to say, congenital bug holy body?

"System, what do you say?"

Zhao Si didn't waste any words and asked the system directly:
"Does Lin Liu have other conditions for passing the level?"

[Of course, and all the protagonists have it. ]

what?
Zhao Si scratched his head:

"Really? I haven't seen any other clearance conditions from Jin Bing and the others before?"

[Yes, but other protagonists will not be stuck with this condition, because it is an additional condition...it is called "voluntary". ]

"Volunteer?"

Zhao Si was thoughtful:
"You mean, in order to pass the customs, he not only needs to be able to pass the customs, but also needs to be willing to pass the customs?"

【Yes. 】

Zhao Si raised his eyebrows:
"That is to say... Lin Liu is actually not willing to pass the level now?"

After being told this by the system, Zhao Si completely understood:

To judge whether the protagonist has cleared the level, not only does it depend on whether his situation meets the conditions for clearing the level, but it also depends on his personal willingness to clear the level. If he feels that he has not achieved a satisfactory level, then he will definitely choose to continue!

Lin Liu's heart has not yet aged.

Even if he doesn't see the hope of a perfect clearance, it doesn't mean he is willing to submit to the status quo!
He still wants to fight!

"But who knows how you can pass the level..."

Even though passing the level or not did not affect Zhao Si's real life, he was still very distressed by Lin Liu's predicament:
"System, can this chapter really be cleared?"

[Of course, as long as the player is willing to play, there will be no chapter that cannot be completed. ]

"…Then I believe you."

Having made up his mind, Zhao Si pondered for a long time and began to seriously plan for Lin Liu's side storyline.

The side story is also a story. Who knows, the key information needed for the main story may be hidden in this seemingly plain side story...

Lin Liu's energy crisis problem was not difficult, after all, it existed in reality. After thinking about it, Zhao Si came up with a plan:

"Since artificial charcoal is not enough, we can use fossil energy, such as coal, oil, and natural gas... Although they are a bit polluting, they are not that bad to use."

"While using fossil energy, we should also develop new energy sources, such as solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, and even nuclear energy... When fossil energy is almost used up, we can use new energy sources to seamlessly connect."

“The energy problem is so easy to solve!”

"Anyway, you have supernatural powers. If you really can't do it, just cheat. A little cheating doesn't count..."

[Ding! Faced with the dilemma brought about by the energy crisis, you can’t think of an effective solution on your own, so you hope that "another self" can come up with a plan...]

[Your choice: (In addition to charcoal, first use fossil energy such as coal, oil, and natural gas, and then gradually develop new energy such as solar energy, wind energy, and nuclear energy... In this way, the energy crisis can be solved!)]

【…】

[The solution from "another self" slowly flows through your mind, and you flip through it with great anticipation, hoping to gain the truth and answer from the knowledge of this other world.]

[So, you were confused the first time...]

[“What are coal…oil…natural gas…?”]

[You mutter to yourself in confusion: How come this strategy is completely incomprehensible to you...]

"what?"

Zhao Si, who had just finished writing the strategy, was also stunned:
"What do you mean?"

No, even fossil energy can’t be used?
[It means that there is no fossil energy in the dream world... Players don't think about it, how can different worlds have messed up settings? Asking people in the immortal world to find coal and oil is no less than asking you to find the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in reality, which does not exist at all. ]

Zhao Si: …

After being criticized by the system, Zhao Si realized it later:

Yes, if there really is fossil energy that can be directly used there, wouldn't the natives have already started using it? Why would they have to wait for me to remind them?
The natives are just backward, not stupid. Since they insisted on using charcoal during the Industrial Revolution and never used coal, it can only prove that this setting does not exist in the dream world...

"There's not even any coal... Didn't they have a mass extinction of plants in ancient times?"

Zhao Si scratched his head.

【Why do we need it? 】

The system's answer seems to have a deeper meaning:
[Players need to remember that the dream world is not a real world, but a dream created by the saints of the prehistoric world.]

[As the saying goes, what you think about during the day you will dream about at night. The sage’s understanding of the world all comes from the primitive times, so when shaping the dream world, the basic parameters and settings used are also from the primitive times, with at most some personal adaptations added.]

[And adaptation is not random editing, and parody is not nonsense... So, do players think that Honghuang has the basis for producing fossil energy? 】

The system's answer made Zhao Si frown:
"There shouldn't be any..."

【That’s it.】

Zhao Si was silent for a moment, but finally chose to continue watching Lin Liu's operation, with a glimmer of hope still lingering in his mind:
"There is no fossil energy...but there should be solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, etc., right?"

As long as Lin Liu uses these energy sources, he can still help the Dream World get rid of the energy crisis!
But...things are obviously not that simple.

[You are completely confused about the so-called "fossil energy" and you don't even have a concept of what "fossils" are.]

[But you must understand things like wind energy and hydro energy! ]

[But the problem is that these energy sources have many key points. First of all, the development and utilization of technology is very difficult. How can ordinary people who don’t even understand the primary industrial revolution get such advanced technology? ]

[Secondly, these energy sources are also very unstable. The seasonal variations and regional imbalances of wind and water energy are quite serious...]

[You searched for a long time, and finally placed your last hope on "solar energy": If you must find a reliable energy source, then the sun is obviously the best choice. If you can use its energy, you can use it forever! ]

[As for the technical problems, you can use your divine power to solve them. Anyway, you only need to master the technology, and leave the rest to the mortals themselves...]

[With this hope in mind, you decide to study the relevant technologies carefully. To study solar energy technology, you must first fully understand the sun! ]

[So, you quickly made up your mind and headed towards the sky with dozens of True Gods under your command, aiming directly at the eternal fireball...]

[What you don’t know is that your discovery will completely change your thinking.]

[Your understanding of the world is still too shallow after all...]
