Glorious God Throne

“La la la~”

“Happiness is such an easy thing~”

Humming this song that he had heard so many times in his childhood that it left a deep impression, Bai Yi suddenly scooped up a fish from the basin, swinging it by its tail in the air for several circles.

The fish was so dizzy that it saw stars.

Then, with a “plop”, he threw it onto the cutting board.

For a moment, water droplets splashed everywhere.

And the next instant, the surrounding space seemed like a movie scene slowed down countless times. Those splashed water droplets traced slow trajectories in Bai Yi’s vision, scattering in mid-air like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

Then, they formed a series of transparent, blurry words.

The Nightmare Game System suddenly came online—

[From now on, equipping this card will no longer consume any nightmare crystals. The card character has completely broken through the restrictions of the nightmare, becoming a part of the player as easy to use as one’s own arm.]

[The situation after each card completely materializes not only depends on the initial characteristic setting but also on the impression made on the world during the process of collecting legend degrees. From fake to real, from virtual to actual. The depth of the world’s belief in the false content will determine the content that becomes real.]

[Do you want to view the details of the materialized card?]

“From fake to real, from virtual to actual?” Bai Yi stared at the line of text in front of him, no longer in a hurry to deal with the fish, “So the essence of the legend degree is similar to human willpower, the power of fantasy, the power of faith…”

From the beginning when he learned that the card needed a legend degree to exist for a long time, Bai Yi had some guesses.

——The card itself is a fictitious creation from the nightmare. When the legend degree is sufficient, it can directly materialize and exist in reality for a long time. In a sense, isn’t this equivalent to “a god born from human fantasy”?

If he made everyone believe that [K] really existed and believed that he possessed some extraordinary abilities, then, at the moment when the card completely materialized into reality, would it become a real extraordinary?

One should know that up until now, the nightmare fragment copies that Bai Yi had passed through were just ordinary copies without any special powers, whether it was [K], or puppet master Xu Dong, or even the florist who preached in the flower shop, they did not possess extraordinary powers within the copies.

If only a few ordinary people were materialized, it would be of no use to his goal of transforming the world and making everyone extraordinary.

But if his guess was correct, he could make the cards “pretend to be extraordinary”, make everyone believe that they were truly extraordinary, and finally materialize several cards into real extraordinary beings. Then, the effect would be much greater!

So, Bai Yi began his own cunning operation.

He first used his ability to deploy character cards at any time and retrieve character cards at any time to create an elusive image for several cards, even making people mistakenly believe that the Ghost in the Rainy Night could teleport at any time during a rainy night;

Then there was the [Puppet Master] card.

Originally, it was a behind-the-scenes black hand who controlled others’ lives with his brain, wisdom, and the huge power of the Shadow Council, and did not possess any extraordinary powers himself.

But Bai Yi first forged for it the ability to hide in the shadows – in fact, this was the temporary materialization effect of the Shadow Council template; then through two vests playing a scene against each other, deepened and strengthened its invincible image in the shadow domain;

In addition, he also forged for this card the ability to control others remotely.

The first few points were easy to disguise, but the last illusion of remotely controlling others was not simple.

This had to mention the day the Nightmare Game System went online, the only transcendent skill Bai Yi obtained–Praise of the Blind lv1.

This skill had a total of four additional effects.

Including passive goodwill aura, active reduction of presence, and temporary enhancement of strength at the cost of reduced vision, the last and most special effect was [Adams’ Soul Praise].

Adams’ Soul Praise:

Can only be used once, unique consumable. After using this skill, it will summon a soul phantom that obeys your commands 100%, and will go through fire and water for you until it completely dissipates.

[Note: This is a praise for the “blind”. You played with the enemy whose strength far exceeded yours in the identity of the blind, completed the identity swap of the hunter and the prey, ignited the nightmare with the flame of revenge, and obtained the special soul praise of regret.]

At that time, Bai Yi noticed the unusualness of this special effect. A soul phantom that obeys commands 100%? Does it mean that I can inhabit it with my consciousness?

Bai Yi’s thoughts suddenly opened up.

Since his own skills could be used when he equipped any card, Bai Yi first equipped the [Puppet Master] card, then used [Adams’ Soul Praise], and summoned a soul phantom [Adams].

Since this was a soul phantom that obeyed commands 100% and would not resist, it was reasonable and logical to let it give up its own control of the soul and let the consciousness of the [Puppet Master] control its soul phantom, right?

Then came the most critical step.

As a phantom of the soul, being able to possess a living person and control their body was even more reasonable, right?

So, [Puppet Master·Bai Yi] casually chose a poor guy, controlled Adams’ soul phantom, possessed this guy, and gained control of his body.

In other words, Bai Yi controlled the [Puppet Master] who controlled [Adams] who controlled the poor guy’s body…

In this way, in the eyes of the unknowing, it became the Puppet Master possessing the extraordinary ability to remotely control others’ bodies.

But in fact, when you peel off the first layer of the poor guy [Fang Zhi], the second layer [Soul Remnant Adams] appears, when you peel off the second layer [Soul Remnant Adams], the mysterious [Puppet Master] appears, when you peel off the third layer Puppet Master, you will find that everything is Bai Yi messing around!

{Fang [Adam (Puppet [Bai Yi] Master) Si] Zhi}

…This is the legendary nesting doll, right? 🙂

After all these cunning operations, he had completely fooled people.

But whether this method of “misleading people into thinking that character cards have extraordinary powers through deception” could ultimately allow character cards to truly materialize extraordinary powers, Bai Yi couldn’t be 100% sure.

And now, it was time to test whether his cunning operation was indeed feasible!

[Do you want to view the details of the materialized card?]

Staring at the line of text in front of him, Bai Yi decisively chose [Yes].

A phantom card slowly emerged from mid-air, solidified into substance, and directly rushed towards Bai Yi’s forehead.

Bai Yi immediately had a feeling in his heart that in the future, he wouldn’t have to summon cards through the system anymore. As long as he had a thought, he could directly split a piece of his mind into a vest avatar.

Lines of text refreshed in his pupils.

Ghost in the Rainy Night★

1 Rainy Night Teleportation lv10

Description: When night falls, all places covered by rain are within your teleportation range. You can teleport from one rainy place to another at any time. Even from the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere, from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere.

Note: This skill comes from the characteristic of the ghost that appears in the rainy night at any time. Through the player’s multiple times of instant deployment and instant withdrawal of cards, the public is misled to believe that the character has teleportation skills, which are widely recognized and spread, and become real from virtual.

2 Gunfighting lv3

Description: Gunfighting level that surpasses human limits.

Note: Through the rainy night serial murder case, your combat ability has been widely recognized and spread. In the legend, the black umbrella in your hand is an extraordinary weapon that can switch between firearms and swords. Due to the deep belief of the world, after the legend degree reaches 100, your gunfighting skill that surpasses human limits is materialized with the card.

[The card has been materialized. If the player wants to upgrade this card, please collect more legend degrees on this basis, or use higher-level nightmare crystals.]

——Indeed! The extraordinary ability has indeed materialized!

Bai Yi couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth, waving the kitchen knife joyfully. “La la la la, it’s a success!”

A stream of blood spurted out. The fish, which had been lying on the chopping board for a while, no longer dizzy but began to have difficulty breathing, was immediately killed!

Bai Yi, in a good mood, prepared a sumptuous meal for himself, of course, fish was indispensable.

He ate while thinking about the next plan.

Before, in addition to the Ghost in the Rainy Night K, and the Puppet Master, he also had some arrangements for the Flower Speaker character card.

Using the characteristic of the [Ordinary Flower Shop] scene template itself being illusory and not belonging to reality, he forged a mysterious flower shop that exists in another space and can only be entered by destined people, making every customer firmly believe in it.

But in fact, apart from the fact that this scene template is indeed magical, the [Flower Speaker] itself has no special abilities.

What wish fulfillment, it doesn’t exist!

It’s just a pyramid scheme leader with max affinity, the [Flower Speaker] has a hammer’s ability to fulfill wishes!

All the flower seeds given to customers are of course just ordinary flower seeds, and no one can check out any abnormalities.

——If the Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau, who checks those flower seeds one by one and stays up all night, knew this fact, they would definitely doubt life and couldn’t help but ask: What’s wrong with this world, can’t there be a little trust between people?

The reason Bai Yi did this, of course, was based on his guess that “the legend degree is similar to the power of will, as long as there are enough people who believe, or the power of will is pure and devout, the character cards can turn falsehood into truth, and virtual into reality.”

If so, when those customers truly believe that a sincere wish can make the seeds bloom and help them fulfill their wishes, who’s to say that the wish won’t really come true?

This is equivalent to the customers first providing the [Flower Speaker] with the legend degree, allowing the [Flower Speaker] to truly possess the extraordinary ability to fulfill others’ wishes, wouldn’t the fake become real?

——Does this method sound familiar?

——Doesn’t it resemble a pyramid scheme leader who first uses a shell company and a grandiose plan to swindle a large amount of money from customers, then uses the money to create products, and then gives back to the customers, only that the money is replaced by the power of will/legend degree???

Previously, because he was not sure whether the guess could become true, Bai Yi didn’t use the [Flower Speaker] card too many times.

After all…fooling people like this, the conscience would also hurt.

In fact, he was too lazy to spend too much time on something uncertain, lest he develop a large number of downlines and then find out that he can’t produce any products at all, wouldn’t that be a waste?

Now that the plan is confirmed to be feasible, Bai Yi decided to equip the [Flower Speaker] card more often when he has nothing to do, and fill up the legend degree as soon as possible.

Because the flower shop didn’t reveal any “miracles”, the current progress of the legend degree was only 37, which was the result of the legend of the mysterious flower shop spreading all over the internet.

As for the [Puppet Master], Bai Yi opened it and looked at the legend degree– it was already 69???

He interestingly curved his eyes. “Oh ya oh ya, it seems that the Puppet Master has completely exposed to the upper echelons of Yao Country~”

——At present, netizens’ understanding of this card is limited to the information released by the police: the leader of a criminal organization [Shadow Council]. As for the special power to control others, and even the identity of the extraordinary, none of it was revealed.

Even though everyone knows the existence of such a person, but the understanding of its detailed information is so scarce, logically speaking, the progress of the legend degree should not be so fast.

And now the legend degree of 69 is still slowly rising, the only explanation is, from the upper echelons of Yao Country!

——Ordinary people know almost nothing about the Puppet Master, most of the upper echelons of Yao Country have already figured out the information that Bai Yi deliberately revealed, and the related information is still spreading among the upper echelons, this is the reason why the legend degree of this card is constantly rising.

Analyzing this through the changes in the legend degree, Bai Yi slowly stood up and stretched lazily.

Humming a tune, he strolled over to the window in three or two steps, his curious gaze cast in the direction of the imperial capital.

“Ah, having discovered a special power that is completely unknown and not under control, how will those people respond?”

“……Establish relevant institutions, investigate the traces of possible extraordinary powers over the years?”

“……Look for folk oddities and eccentrics, especially those religious organizations that were once regarded as feudal superstitions by the public?”

“……Or, among the extraordinary beings that have already appeared, try to connect with the most likely cooperative extraordinary being?”

By the end, the corners of Bai Yi’s mouth slowly curved up.

He coughed lightly, and suddenly spoke seriously.

“Well then, it’s decided that it’s you.”

Bai Yi suddenly stretched out his hand, and with a swipe of his fingertip, he threw out a card.

The card slowly rotated in mid-air, revealing a scene full of flowers and a young man with a gentle smile amidst the flowers.

“——Go, Pikachu!”
