Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 445 He no longer knows what heaven and earth are!

"robot?"

Mayor Mihua repeated Fang Can's answer.

"Of course, putting aside everything else, there's Jarvis from Super America."

"His intelligence alone is enough to replace all repetitive human labor."

"In repetitive tasks such as sowing seeds, carrying bricks, and manufacturing machinery, humans are of no use to artificial intelligence."

"What do you think is the only advantage humans have over me compared to artificial intelligence?" Fang Can countered.

'Taking the blame...'

Mayor Mihua instinctively wanted to answer like that, but was worried that Fang Can would kill her if she did.

After all, the so-called scapegoating is just a way to fool people. Now that the entire super-Earth is under their control, who are they going to fool?
So after hesitating, he simply remained silent and avoided the question. Fang Can smiled faintly and said:

"In comparison, the only advantage humans have over me is your relatively abstract creativity."

"Compared to AI, there is only one thing that humans cannot replace—the wild imagination in your minds! Those unique inspirations and quirks that even the most powerful AI cannot replicate, originating from chaotic life! This is where your value lies."

"Our past advantage was our sheer numbers and cheap labor? Now? Everyone's laid off!"

"Now that you've been replaced by AI, you need to study hard, bring out your individual differences, and create different works to please me."

"For this, I need you to work hard, learn various courses, enrich your minds, and contribute all kinds of works to me."

"What I want is a paradise purely for pleasure! Here, there's no need for miners to sweat, no need for farmers to toil in the fields!"

"All production, logistics, infrastructure, and maintenance will be handled by machines that work 24/7 and are ten thousand times more efficient than you!"

"Your only job, the meaning of your existence, is to learn, to imagine, to practice, to fill your liberated brains with every means possible, and then create something amazing! Create something that will make the whole universe applaud!"

"Food must be delicacies beyond imagination, games must create absolutely realistic fantasy worlds, novels must weave captivating chapters, comics must capture soul-stirring images, movies must weave dream worlds that turn the world upside down, and plays must present art that stirs the seven emotions! I want the ultimate sensory storm and an unending spiritual feast!"

"Whether it's forensic evidence or eccentricity, or abstract or bizarre, the highest status in the world in the future will be held by the top group of artists."

"I need trillions of lives from the entire world to work hard for my entertainment."

"From this day forward, the works of people all over the world that achieve lasting fame will be highly rewarded."

Those who achieve great popularity and produce excellent work will receive a moderate reward.

Those who can offer innovation and truly impress me will receive a small reward.

As Fang Can spoke, he gently patted Mayor Mihua on the shoulder and said:
"So go ahead and work hard. Do you want money, power, and beauty? Go read and study. As long as you can produce a good job, you'll have everything."

Mayor Mihana and everyone who received the information were instantly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and the vision of the future.

But Fang Can didn't give them a chance to breathe, and directly issued the core command:

“Serving my pleasure is the meaning of your existence! I am going to establish the ‘Universal Entertainment Research and Development Agency,’ and Mayor, you will temporarily serve as the ‘Chief Governor.’”

Fang Can pointed at Mayor Mihua as he spoke, which made the latter so excited that he almost fainted.

He then added, "First, immediately establish the core framework of the research and development agency, and recruit elites and institutions from all cultural and entertainment fields worldwide!"

"Second, order all large manufacturing plants worldwide to unconditionally and at full power switch to producing standardized, all-around service robots! Controlled by artificial intelligence! They will take care of all the manual labor, dirty work, and tiring work in the future!"

"Third, create a brand new social distribution rule for me: the 'Entertainment Reward Contribution System'! Centered on contribution points from works!"

"From now on, after basic living standards are guaranteed, identity, status, and resources will all be linked to 'contribution points'!"

"Let's call this plan... [Amusing Ourselves to Death]," Fang Can said, slapping his forehead.

"...Yes!" Upon hearing that he would have full authority, the mayor of Beika City was overjoyed and immediately nodded, guaranteeing, "I guarantee to complete your mission, sir, and implement the 'Entertainment to the Death' plan!"

"Hmph, hopefully all of humanity can come up with something decent."

Fang Can chuckled and waved lightly to Toyokawa Shoko in the distance, saying, "Hey, it's all over. How's it going on your end?"

Toyokawa Shoko's lips twitched a few times, but the many questions that were originally in her mind were swallowed back.

How should I put it? She had only been in this world for a few days and had already accomplished the important task of unification, which was quite different from what she had imagined.

Moreover, she was the one who summoned this guy, so she has to take half the responsibility.

Shoko Toyokawa inexplicably thought: 'Could this be considered... summoning a powerful father figure for this world?'

……

Meanwhile, in a cheap rental apartment in Shanghai, far from Mikasa City.

"Hiss—!" A suppressed cry of pain broke the silence.

Wen Chao suddenly sat up from the dirty bed, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his face as pale as paper, and his lips cracked.

The intense headache made his vision go black in waves, as if his brain was being stuffed with heavy lead.

He looked around blankly: peeling yellowed wallpaper, cobwebs tangled in the corners, and the air filled with the mixed smell of cheap instant noodles and mold... It was strange and disgusting.

"Where am I?" He covered his head, his voice hoarse and broken.

Suddenly, a tsunami of fragmented memories, carrying unfamiliar knowledge and information, violently rushed into the depths of his consciousness.

Super Earth... Fang Can... 2025... Reincarnation...

'Am I...reborn? No, I've transmigrated!'

Wen Chao's eyes widened as he stared at his pale hands, his expression filled with shock. He never imagined that a scene from a work of art would happen to him. He was originally an ordinary citizen 7 years in the future, and he never expected to travel through time like this.

'July 17th...isn't that the day of the Renaissance?' Wen Chao was overjoyed.

These past two days have been repeatedly emphasized in future school textbooks and holographic lessons because this is a historic turning point that will change the fate of humankind!
July 16th is the birthday of Emperor Fang Can.

As for July 17th, it was the day the Holy Emperor swept across the world and established his hegemony, and then issued the imperial edict of "entertainment to the death"!

Revered by later generations as the "Starting Day of the Renaissance," it symbolizes the beginning of a great era in which human productivity was completely overturned and everything was born for "funny"!

Moreover, these two days every year were a global holiday during the time when Wen Chaogong lived!
Although he felt more awe than affection for the Holy Emperor at that time, he desperately wanted as many holidays as possible.

Moreover, he had a very deep impression of the days that followed that day.

Since the Holy Emperor declared the "Amusing Ourselves to Death" plan with the power of divine authority, the entire world has entered a new era of mass entertainment.

In this era: Books hold houses of gold! Books hold beauties like jade! Books hold abundant grain! Books hold horses in droves!
This excerpt from an ancient poem perfectly reflects reality, and is even more outrageous!
Because of the emperor's preferences, everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people worshipped those who could create mischief.

Poetry, songs, live streams, movies, animation, games, even clapper talk...

Anyone who is even remotely related to entertainment and can achieve a top 1% ranking can win the world's favor and gain countless fans.

Wen Chao's breathing became heavy with ecstasy, his eyes brimming with barely suppressed greed:
"Those who can create entertainment value can possess everything!" He whispered, repeating the ironclad rule from his memories of the future, each word containing the power to overturn fate.

This new era of "entertainment to the death" is built upon the bizarre and powerful "idealistic martial arts" meme.

No need for strenuous physical training; just focus on cultivating one path, whether it's writing, composing music, screenwriting, or live-streaming comedy.

When mind and spirit are united, one can embark on the path to power. And for Wen Chaogong, the greatest gift is this: fans are divine power!
He instinctively pressed his hand to his chest, but he clearly remembered the scene described in his history textbook.

Those top creators, with their surging literary talent, reflect the power of the trillions of believers' likes, coins, and collections—a three-click triple tap of spiritual energy.

When the adoration and resonance of countless fans converge, this power can even support the creator to embody divinity and achieve godhood! This is no longer a metaphor, but a new law governing the world!

The more fans you have, the stronger you become; the stronger you become, the more brainpower you have, and the more you can create groundbreaking works that will resonate around the world.

This is a snowball effect with almost no solution... but it can eventually lead to becoming a true literary god!
Imagine the history books he read 70,000 years later in his "previous life".

Those "entertainment giants" with millions of dollars in their minds, aren't they terrifying beings who produce more than a dozen phenomenal works a year?
With the fervent support of their fans, their power and influence snowballed, eventually becoming the pillars of the Holy Emperor's rule.

"As long as I can seize the initiative in the early stages, I will surely have a place among the names of those great figures in the future!"

He even more greedily thought, "No! What is a mere place? What I want to do is become the 'Number One Civil Official' under the Holy Emperor! To take charge of the world's cultural heritage and stand at the pinnacle of all people's faith!"

'So... what should I do next?' he muttered to himself.

A strong sense of mission and ambition instantly filled him. Without hesitation, he immediately began to plan how to enter this newly emerging "era of great entertainment".

Becoming an internet celebrity and doing live streaming? Low barrier to entry but fierce competition. Writing web novels? Massive updates will drive you bald. Making movies or writing screenplays? Not enough start-up capital…

My gaze wandered through the cramped and dilapidated rented room, finally settling on the old laptop in the corner, its fan humming and covered in scratches and dents.

In an instant, a bold, even somewhat blasphemous, idea exploded in his mind like a thunderclap:

"Wen Chao Gong!"

"That's right! I can be a plagiarist! I can plagiarize those future hit works!"

"I want to 'create' them all ahead of time! To claim the glory that belongs to future generations as my own. To occupy these destined-to-be-glorious niches in advance."

"In this early stage when culture was still like a desert, I had so much gold mine in my hands that I could stand ahead of everyone and establish an unshakable first-mover advantage!"

Thinking about this, ideas burst forth in Wen Chaogong's mind like a cosmic explosion!

This isn't a lack of inspiration at all, but a blissful dilemma! An inexhaustible treasure trove lies deep within his memory, waiting to be unlocked!
Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, Kafka, Mozart, Cao Xueqin, Chopin, Lu Xun, Maupassant, Hemingway...

Every name on this list is destined to create a masterpiece that will shake the literary world and resonate with the literary community!
'Copy! We must copy! And we must copy quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately!' Wen Chao's mind was almost frantic.

This is not a simple copy and paste; this is seizing the throne of the future!
As for why those who died in the past would produce works, it's naturally because literary talent has been revived.
Throughout history, writers who left behind famous literary works have countless die-hard fans, so even the dead can be brought back to life by the classics that have been passed down.

These ancient people never imagined that they would be dug up after being buried for hundreds or thousands of years, giving them a second spring in their careers.

We can even see that in the future: Zhuge Liang becomes a party wanderer, wearing sunglasses and tailoring a debut stage and fan meeting for Liu Bei, which would easily become a hit marketing strategy.

Su Dongpo has transformed into a phenomenal "food explorer," debuting as a food vlogger to explore and review restaurants, earning praise from diners.

Then there's Liu Yong, who, in addition to being labeled a "master of graceful and restrained poetry," is also hailed as a "pioneer in the study of exotic women's culture" because of his delicate descriptions of romantic affairs in his works. His assessments have become a reference for many seasoned readers...

Therefore, he had to finish those works quickly, otherwise things would be bad once the real person came back to life.

After much deliberation, Wen Chaogong has made his choice.

His first work will be "Journey to the West: A Dream of the Three Kingdoms"!
This is a collaborative work by Luo Guanzhong, Shi Nai'an, Wu Cheng'en, and Cao Xueqin.

The book describes the story of Wu Song's dream journey westward, visiting the three countries of Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma, and it became an instant hit upon release.

After all, on this super-Earth, the appearance of Genshin Impact successfully prevented World War II, a fact known to everyone in the world.

The authors of the Four Great Classical Novels were resurrected to play Genshin Impact and even created fan works. Regardless of how far-fetched the history is, just tell me if you want to read it or not.

In any case, as soon as this book was published, it immediately became a hot fashion item that year, attracting countless fans.

Many readers felt as if they had eaten mushrooms after reading it, unable to extricate themselves, and completely unaware of what the world was like.

At this moment, Wen Chaogong's eyes were shining brightly, and he felt that he would definitely become a sensation in the entire literary and artistic world in the future.
