Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 134, Section 133: The Gift of Creation

"I want to acquire the copyright to your Multiverse Card game."

Wang Ji did not respond immediately to this statement.

There are still many things that Wang Ji doesn't understand about this so-called Multiverse Card, especially the Collector's Edition Card. He is very curious: can these cards really replicate the various abilities of the Creation level exactly?

So he asked, "Be more specific, how exactly will the acquisition proceed?"

"It's not complicated."

The collector said, "I will create the effect card based on your abilities. If you can indeed do it and approve of the card, then I can successfully create it."

Wang Ji instinctively felt some resistance.

Doesn't this mean that you're exposing your abilities and secrets to others?

"Of course, I don't mean you have to reveal all your abilities and trump cards to me."

On the other hand, the collector seemed very experienced, saying seriously, "I value my clients' privacy very much. I won't pry into their affairs or reveal information casually."

Wang Ji asked, somewhat puzzled, "Then what should we do?"

The collector pulled out a card, pointed to it, and said, "Look."

When Wang Ji looked at it, he found the name on the card somewhat familiar.

[Loser's Protection: Makes one of your chosen cards immune to destruction by any means for three turns. After three turns, the chosen card is destroyed. This card effect can stack with other cards.]

“My cards are all made based on the publicly available capabilities that the other party has demonstrated, which are verifiable to everyone, and they have all been authorized by the person in question.”

"Only 'character cards' require the ability to analyze the origins of the card prototypes, but currently no Genesis-level card developers are willing to sell the copyright to their character cards."

Wang Ji nodded, having gained a basic understanding of these cards, and said:

"Understood, let's continue."

Seeing that Wang Ji had become interested, the collector put away the cards in his hand and brought up a bunch of news interfaces, which were densely packed. When Wang Ji looked up, he saw that they were all related to him, and he had even read many of the reports in his spare time.

"These messages are the basis for creating cards; I only create based on publicly available information."

The collector zoomed in on one of these reports and said, "This report should be true, right?"

Wang Ji looked at the report and realized that the person who published it was quite familiar.

Dimension Media.

Wang Ji nodded and admitted, "It's mostly true; their interviews were authorized by me."

The collector zoomed in on the details of the news again, showing the news of 'recreating the world' and 'raising the level of world rules', and said: 'So that means that the world you reshape will indeed raise the level of its fundamental rules to the point where it can fight against the apocalypse?'

Wang Ji gave an affirmative answer.

"Incredible."

Even through the hood, Wang Ji could sense the collector's astonishment.

"I really don't know how you did it. I look forward to the day when you get your own unique title."

After a moment of reflection, the collector returned to the main topic and shared his idea: "I plan to create a functional plaque."

In the blink of an eye, a card sample was created.

The collector handed the brand-new card to Wang Ji.

The card is named "Gift of Creation".

Description: Reshape an existing world. Progress increases by 3 points each turn. When progress reaches 10 points, the world is successfully reshaped, and the world rule level is upgraded to the absolute level.

There is also a line of small print at the bottom of the card:
"—An aid from the creator-level powerhouse 'Wang Ji'."

"How about it?"

The collector asked with great interest.

Wang Ji glanced at the cards again and said, "They're about right."

only…

Wang Ji recalled the Genesis-level decks he had seen.

The terms "Covenant of the Keeper of Secrets" and "Protection of the Loser" all come with titles, making them seem very mysterious.

In this deck, only I used my real name to play the cards, with my full name printed on them.

That's what they say, but it's also out of necessity, since I don't have a title yet, so I can only leave it at that for now.

With this in mind, Wang Ji then thought of the issue of titles.

Many Genesis-level beings already possessed their own unique titles before reaching this level. None of them achieved this without recognition; upon becoming Genesis-level, they simply retained their previous titles. According to Wang Ji's understanding, this was true for both the losers and the keepers of secrets; their paths were all traceable.

As for myself.

It's like it popped out of nowhere; you can't find anything about it.

It cannot be investigated.

"That's it?"

The collector made an inquiry.

"Okay, I have no objection."

Wang Ji nodded, then suddenly looked at the card in the collector's hand.

In the instant he nodded, some connection was established, linking him to the card.

But this connection is not absolute. Wang Ji has a feeling that he can cut off the connection and reject it at any time.

"It's done!"

The collector looked very pleased.

"Verification confirmed, it can take effect."

The collector asked, "You should have felt the connection being established, right?"

"Right now, we're just verifying the authenticity of the capability. You can cut off the connection at any time, but I must remind you that once the deal is finalized and the connection is truly established, it won't be something you can just break off easily."

"But don't worry, it won't affect you in any way. It's just like you've granted me the ability to reproduce the same function as the card event."

Wang Ji said with understanding, "I see."

That's why it's called copyright purchase; so that's what copyright is all about.

From this perspective, if the conditions are right, it's not impossible.

acceptable.

"Then it's settled."

Next comes the pricing process.

The collector paused for a moment and said, "At our level, you probably wouldn't even look at ordinary things."

"Since you're a newly promoted Genesis-level being, I guess you're lacking this."

The collector raised his sleeve, and a world singularity hovered above it.

Wang Ji was somewhat tempted.

I really lack the World Singularity; whether I'm doing experiments or building infrastructure, I desperately need it.

He immediately nodded in agreement.

The collector said magnanimously, "Name your price."

Wang Ji thought for a moment.

The preciousness of the world singularity is beyond doubt; it is an absolute hard currency of creation-level significance, and no one would complain about having too little of it.

So he tentatively extended one finger.

How about we try it with a thousand worlds first?

Looking at Wang Ji's asking price, the collector's expression became slightly serious—although his face could not be seen, that was the feeling.

"A million worlds?"

The collector's words left Wang Ji completely bewildered.

"That's not going to work."

The collector shook his head. Just as Wang Ji was about to explain, he heard him say again, "Being so stingy, people will think I'm bullying a newcomer."

"Here's what we'll do: three million World Singularities, and I'll give you a self-selected collectible card in return."

"You can come to me if you need anything in the future, and we can communicate more."

Wang Ji swallowed the words he wanted to say.

Are there really so many singularities in the world?
