Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 151: A Game Within a Game

"teacher."

A boy raised his hand and asked, "Can we make anything with the workbench?"

The lecturer nodded and said, "Yes, anything within the rules can be created."

"But we must also remember that every creation we make must be carefully considered, including the use of every tool and the position of every block; everything will leave a trace."

The lecturer continued speaking with a serious expression.

Although these children know more than their peers in the past, they still don't understand what a creator is, what a creator-level being is, or how vast the world is beyond.

However, it won't be long before we know these things.

The primary task now is to lay a solid foundation and pave the way for the future.

After some thought, the lecturer said, "Some people have abused this power of 'creation' to carry out 'destruction'."

“Some people build high walls in an attempt to isolate themselves from others, while others make weapons and design traps to harm others. But they all eventually pay the price for this and understand the consequences of violating the spirit of community—that is, losing all creative ability and no longer being favored by the world.”

Sunlight streamed into the classroom, bathing everything in a golden glow.

At this moment, even a child of this age can understand the outcome mentioned by the speaker on stage, which means losing all creative abilities.

Even if one still retains personal freedom, it's practically the same as being crippled. The rest of one's life may be meaningless, watching others create freely while one is consumed by endless regret.

The children cannot imagine that kind of life, nor do they want to.

"All right."

The young lecturer clapped his hands, bringing the topic back on track.

He stood next to the box again and said, "Now, students, line up and get your workstations. We're about to begin our first practical exercise."

Upon hearing this, the children immediately became excited, and the previously somewhat heavy topic was instantly forgotten.

When the children lined up and their hands finally touched their own workstations, their faces were filled with excitement.

After the initial excitement comes focus and seriousness.

Looking at those earnest, youthful faces, the lecturer couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Clearly, these children had taken his words to heart.

After receiving the workbench, the next step is to familiarize yourself with the operation and practice simple synthesis.

And so, the children completed their first 'creation'.

In the novel atmosphere, the class quickly came to an end.

Seeing that it was almost time, the young lecturer said:

"Next, the teacher will assign you a thought-provoking exercise:"

"Think about what you most want to create after you get the workbench. It doesn't have to be the most complex, but the most meaningful one."

After that, the children started discussing again, each sharing their own thoughts.

Amidst the noise, the young lecturer on stage connected to the magic network, silently organizing materials while thinking about another course.

Overview of the Magic Network

The course is not far from starting, and the information about the Grand Master needs to be carefully organized.

...

"not bad."

In a private office at the Alchemy University in River Bend City, Wang Ji's consciousness was immersed in the magic network, receiving messages from all over the world while experiencing firsthand the changes in the world.

Everything is thriving, and there are no major problems.

At this time, many years had passed since the world was restored and the Grand Master traveled among the various realms.

During this period, Wang Ji rarely left his own world.

Although he has almost disappeared from the public eye, he has been personally making various decisions and paying attention to all aspects, big and small, from the bottom up.

Under the new reforms and development, the world after the recovery has seen a surge in talent, with the new generation receiving a good education and none being left behind. This is just the most basic progress.

While managing these matters, Wang Ji did not give up on developing features, nor on what he had been doing since he came into this world—sharing and creating.

With the overall improvement of the new generation's quality and the development of the times, the workbench is no longer restricted, and everyone can use and synthesize it at will.

Thus, they gain meaning and achieve freedom through creative activities.

There's no need to worry about anyone doing evil.

As the root of the system, with Wang Ji's further development of its features, its control over permissions has now reached a new level.

If he wanted, he could completely prohibit someone from using any item—no need to rely on items like identity cards, but to prohibit it directly from the root of the problem.

Whether within the world or outside the world.

To put it bluntly, it means you can directly ban people from your system.

This action doesn't have to be done personally every time. The world has already incorporated a magic network module based on Oswald's magic network laws. With the magic network, this authority has been smoothly delegated and is controlled and judged by a designated person.

The specific details need not be elaborated upon.

However, in reality, this permission is rarely used in the modern era.

Given how far things have progressed, it's hard to imagine anyone being so foolish as to try something that goes against the times and the ideals of a community.

Banren—this is just a small part of Wang Ji's achievements in developing features over the years.

As for the big head.

Wang Ji opened the toolbox and entered a project file.

That's a... modpack.

Inspired by the Archmage's new magic net.

The integration package is presented in the form of a panel.

Besides being used by Wang Ji himself, this panel can also be gifted to others for loading and use.

Its greatest function is to enable people other than Wang Ji to also gain the ability to create something from scratch, such as crafting a workbench out of thin air.

It also comes with a crafting table.

Anyone who obtains this integrated package panel is essentially transformed into a King who hasn't reached the Genesis level yet—except for the inability to revive, it has all the other functions.

He can be described as a youth version, no, a child version of Wang Ji.

It may seem to have few functions and be quite simple, but making this thing was not easy at all.

Wang Ji himself is like a computer, running and storing everything, and possessing absolute editing rights over all information.

The characteristics can be likened to a game, which he controls.

As for the creatures in the world, they can be likened to villagers in a game.

It's not difficult to distribute the crafted items to the villagers. The simplest way is to just put out a crafting table. Once the villagers have the crafting table, they can make anything they want.

But sharing the core gameplay elements, or the fundamental features, with the villagers is difficult.

Because the villagers and Wang Ji are not on the same level at all, they are like information stored in a computer. How can information jump out of the carrier?
But hard work pays off.

Wang Ji did it.

The principle is also very simple.

To put it simply, it's like Wang Ji using redstone to build a computer in a game, and then creating another game within that computer.

The sheer scale and complexity of the project were self-evident, leaving Wang Ji utterly bewildered.

Of course, I didn't make this because I had nothing better to do and wanted to create something for myself.

All of this is preparation for the future.
