A game where you have to pay to win? But I have a lifespan roulette wheel!

"Observation point? Defense?"

Jiang Lin stroked his chin, looking at the chaotic scene ahead.

"If you throw anything ordinary into this place, it would probably be torn to shreds by the two concepts in an instant."

He recalled the sentence in the task description that "the method is not limited".

I also looked at the suggested solutions provided by the wordless thick book for reference only:

[Using the game singularity to define the rules for "temporary neutral zones".]

Temporary neutral zone?

What to do?

My territory, my rules?

Jiang Lin is also a virgin in this kind of thing.

I've never done that before.

But in life, there's always a first time.

Let's do it, brothers!

Jiang Lin took a deep breath and focused his mind.

In his mind, the ability of the [Game Singularity] began to operate.

This time, he no longer wanted to replicate a specific object or phenomenon, but rather to try to define the "basic rules" of a region.

"First, we need a territory." Jiang Lin's gaze swept across the area, and he selected a relatively stable fragment of a broken world that was on the verge of conflict between two sets of rules.

The fragment is small, resembling a floating island.

"Using this fragment beneath my feet as a benchmark," Jiang Lin muttered to himself, while simultaneously channeling his thoughts into the game singularity. "Definition: Within this area, all conflicts of external rules are temporarily frozen, and they must not erode or annihilate each other, maintaining the current state of balance."

[Command received.]

[Multiple high-intensity rule conflicts have been detected in the target area. Executing the "Freeze" command requires a significant amount of computing power and unknown energy.]

[Confirm?]

A notification sound suddenly appeared.

Jiang Lin was somewhat bewildered.

No?

Game Singularity, when did you learn to talk?

You secretly evolved into a great sage without telling me, huh?

Jiang Lin used to use the game's singularity passively.

He had never used it like this before, so this was the first time he had ever heard of it.

[Game Singularity] His grandma can talk?!

It's very much like a human-machine interface.

no……

The Singularity of Games.

plate.

A pay-to-win game system.

In addition to myself.

Jiang Lin can now play mahjong in his mind.

But there's no time for him to reflect on these things now.

time does not wait!

"Confirmed! Let's designate a safe zone first!" Jiang Lin said without hesitation.

He vaguely sensed that a portion of some power within him had been drawn out and injected into the game singularity command ahead.

Well, how should I put it?

He might have taken it before, but back then he was like the ocean, and every time he used his power, he would only take a drop, so he didn't feel anything at all.

Today, I am like a water tank.

Just now, a whole ladle of water was pulled away.

Silently, a semi-transparent spherical light shield with a radius of about 100 meters slowly unfolded, centered on that fragment of the world.

Inside the light shield, the gray death mist and scarlet evil energy that were originally in fierce conflict seemed to have been paused, and remained in place. Although they were still clearly distinct, they no longer attacked and wore each other down.

"Success?" Jiang Lin was a little surprised, not expecting his first attempt to go so smoothly.

He maneuvered the wooden wheelchair slowly into the area covered by the light shield.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the light shield, the omnipresent feeling of being torn apart by the rules and the sense of mental oppression were immediately reduced by more than half.

The wordless, thick book glowed slightly, and the outline of the light mask began to automatically appear on its pages, along with simple data:

【Temporary Neutral Zone - Initial】, Stability: 87%, Estimated Duration: 37 Standard Hours.

"Only 37 hours?" Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow.

It seems that even if these things are just remnants, they are still difficult for him to deal with.

He stood inside the light shield, carefully sensing the storm of conceptual rules outside.

Ok.

Very powerful.

"Record the key narrative points." Jiang Lin looked at the blank, thick book. "Stop playing dead. Where are these points? You can't expect me to record the entire storm, can you?"

The wordless book did not answer directly, but instead turned its pages to face outwards from the light shield.

In that direction, the storm of rules was particularly violent, with gray and red energies forming a huge spiral, and at the center of the spiral, something was vaguely floating.

"Is that the key?" Jiang Lin stared intently. Through the chaotic energy, he could barely make out what appeared to be a tattered flag. The patterns embroidered on the flag were blurred, but it still exuded a chilling and tragic aura.

Beneath the flag, there seemed to be a blurry, illusory figure standing holding the flag, and even though only the echo remained, it carried a resolute intent to fight to the death.

At the same time, another low, solemn funeral melody came from the other side of the storm, seemingly originating from a faintly visible, cracked gray stone coffin.

The space around the stone coffin exuded an eerie tranquility, as if even time itself had slowed down.

"A battle flag, a coffin—is this the rule for that Seventh Movement: Elegy of Defeat and Funeral Song?" Jiang Lin pondered.

He's kind of handsome.

As he was pondering this, a sudden change occurred!

The tattered battle flag suddenly moved without wind, fluttering loudly!

The illusory figure holding the flag seemed to let out a silent roar to the sky, and the scarlet war aura suddenly erupted, transforming into countless phantoms of swords, spears, and halberds, which fiercely stabbed towards the gray stone coffin!

The melody of the "funeral song" around the stone coffin suddenly rose, and the dark, deathly mist condensed into countless pale arms, trying to grab those malevolent weapons.

The two collided violently once again!

This conflict is more intense than any before!

Just how intense is it?

The stability of the shield that Jiang Lin built dropped from 87% to 65%, hahaha!

"Holy crap! That's awesome!"

Jiang Lin quickly increased the output to the game singularity to maintain the stability of the light shield.

He finally understood that this so-called key narrative point was likely the last, or the most intense, collision and fusion of these two core manifestations of the rules.

The blank book now shone brightly, with countless illusory images and incomprehensible runes flowing rapidly across its pages, as if it were recording everything that was happening before its eyes.

"Holy crap, is this how the director used to work?? Keep it up, Shu! Record it clearly!" Jiang Lin maintained the light shield; this stable zone seemed to be arranged for Comrade Shu.

Jiang Lin had been thinking, why bother establishing a stable zone? Isn't it enough to just keep myself safe?

So that's when it was used.

But letting them keep attacking each other like this isn't a solution.

Jiang Lin used to travel from one world to another.

The passionate collision between those two just now created a world of bubbles around us, just like bubbles.

It broke into a large piece.

This isn't a fight in space where one punch can wipe out an entire galaxy.

It looks very powerful, but it might not even contain a single planet with civilization.

This is the shattered world bubble!!!

A world bubble contains a complete universe!

They're just different sizes.

We can't let them keep bombing like this.

The task was explained very clearly.

The task of this King's Trial is not based on the size of one's strength.

It depends on actions.

Doing nothing but watching Comrade Xiaoshu take notes?

Jiang Lin didn't know if this would allow him to complete the mission.

In any case, he personally cannot accept this outcome.

Why?

So many of those destroyed world bubbles could become places I visit and check off my travel photos in the future!

"Hey, you bastard!!! Stop destroying my backyard!!!"

This must be resolved!

Jiang Lin's mind raced.

His gaze swept across the chaotic void around him, and suddenly, a bold idea popped into his head.

"Ah Shu," Jiang Lin patted the thick, wordless book, "what do you think would happen if I channeled the energy from their fighting to fertilize the Jianmu tree?"

The light from the blank book flickered, seemingly not understanding the overly abrupt instruction.

Jiang Lin, however, found it increasingly feasible: "Isn't the Jianmu tree the foundation of the world's ocean? It should be able to absorb everything, right? And these echoes of history are, after all, the essence left behind from the great war 100,000 years ago, right? Although their properties are somewhat mixed, their nutritional value should be quite good, isn't it? It's better than letting them randomly bomb and pollute the environment here, isn't it?"

"Besides," he glanced at the mission description, "maintaining order doesn't necessarily mean quelling conflict. Giving them a suitable outlet and making the conflict controllable, isn't that also a form of stability?"

The wordless book remained silent, but the runes on its pages flickered more rapidly, as if frantically calculating the feasibility of the plan and its potential consequences.

Jiang Lin, however, had already made up his mind.

He maneuvered the wooden wheelchair to the edge of the light shield, extended his right hand, and aimed his palm at the fiercely clashing battle flags and the phantom stone coffin outside.

"Come, in the name of this king!" Jiang Lin's eyes narrowed. "Define: Direct the conflicting energy escaping from this area to the root system of the Jianmu tree beneath my feet!"

[Command received.]

[Objective: To guide and direct highly concentrated, rule-based energy mixtures.]

[Target receptor: Jianmu (secondary branch).]

[Energy property analysis in progress...]

[Warning: The energy properties are extremely conflicting and unstable; forced guidance may result in receptor damage or unknown mutations.]

[Confirm?]

"Confirmed!" Jiang Lin shouted.

"Brother Jianmu, hang in there! This is incredibly nourishing!"
