This is not an MMO game copy

"So, how would you like the Greater Holy Grail's appearance to be modified?"

"This……"

Xia Yan pondered for a while.

Considering that his painting style is gradually moving towards abstraction, it is indeed a bit deviated from the scope of the 'traditional cultivator template'. It is best not to use any unorthodox styles when adjusting the external image of the [Holy Grail].

As for the function of the [Great Holy Grail], apart from the unknown number of wishes left after leaving the Type-Moon world, Xia Yan believed that the most important thing was to activate the third method. In the future "copy" world, the bug-taking system might provide intelligent teammates and NPCs, or even kidnap characters from different "copy" worlds...

"Ok?"

Suddenly, an inspiration emerged in Xia Yan's mind, giving him an extremely bold idea.

The Holy Grail, the Whip, the crystallization of golem technology called "Crown of Wisdom", Servants and Spiritual Bases...

"Sigh~"

Xia Yan couldn't help but take a sip of cold noodles, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a way. Finally, he couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart that was eager to try it out, and asked the virtual AI terminal created by the [Great Holy Grail] based on the Winter Saint - Yustisa, the current 'Weapon Spirit - Yustisa':

"As I recall, the basic principle of summoning Servants is to use the Greater Holy Grail to communicate with the Throne of Heroic Spirits, borrow information from the Heroic Spirits, and then infuse it with the framework of 'jobs' to create Servant avatars of the Heroic Spirits, right?!"

'Yes. ’

"So, what if it's not a Heroic Spirit? I mean, we don't need to borrow information from the Throne of Heroes, but if we gather enough information from somewhere else, can we infuse it into the 'job classification' framework to generate a Servant?"

"It is possible, but without the Heroic Spirit-level information stored in the quantum tapes, it is simply not enough to create a Servant. At most, it can only create a Shadow Servant or a Phantom."

"Okay, I've figured out what you should modify it into later."

Xia Yan laughed.

At this moment, he dug out a comic from his memory that he had read before the world line changed. It seemed that he could use the resources he currently had to create an extremely low-profile copycat version of a certain artifact function set in this comic.

"The gods of the Nine Provinces descend, and all weapons are liberated..."

Xia Yan muttered a line from the comic in his memory, and slowly sketched out the image of a golden tower in his mind, which he transmitted to the "Spirit" of the [Holy Grail] through mental communication.

"...I remember that the concepts and settings of the ten ancient artifacts and the Haotian Tower in that comic were all borrowed from the Xuanyuan Sword series, so I'll follow that."

"Well, it will probably take some time to adjust, Master."

"It's okay. Take your time to adjust. Let me enter the space inside the Greater Holy Grail first and see what's going on with the Winter Saint, Irena."

After saying that, Xia Yan leaped into the golden crack in the middle of the stone. In the blink of an eye, he came to the sea of ​​flowers in the inner space of the [Holy Grail]. Following the guidance of the 'Spirit of the Artifact', he once again met the intelligent teammate NPC 'Irena' from the 'copy' world of Type-Moon.

Third Dungeon: 73. Third Method - Heaven's Cup: Activating Informational Lifeforms (Part 3)

A girl with long gray-white hair and blue-purple eyes wore a witch hat on her head, a black robe, a white shirt and a black skirt underneath...

...When 'Irena' reappeared in Xia Yan's eyes, she seemed to have not changed at all, still like a highly lifelike doll, staring at him with the same expressionless face.

The difference is that she will no longer follow me on her own initiative.

Even when Xia Yan stood in front of Irena, she just stared quietly ahead, as if she had become a complete "doll".

"Irena."

Xia Yan tried to call her name.

Hearing this, the witch lady moved, but she only turned her head slightly to look over, without any fluctuation on her face. It seemed that she was simply responding to the human reaction of "looking over subconsciously when hearing someone calling their name".

He looks even more retarded than when he was still in the 'copy' world.

"Tsk, even though I did successfully fix the system bug, it's not like you can just disable it however you want."

After a while, looking at 'Irena' who was standing there in a daze, staring at him face to face, Xia Yan suddenly sighed.

After consulting the "Spirit of the Holy Grail - Justissa" about the specific matters of the third law, he roughly knew what was going on. He also knew why the "Spirit of the Holy Grail - Justissa" called the current "Irena" the second Winter Saint.

The cause of everything is simple.

That is, the third method that the [Holy Grail] can use is completely incomplete.

First of all, Justisia, the Winter Saint who is the core of the Greater Holy Grail, was originally just a disciple of the Third Magician. In the ninth century AD, as a result of the convergence of the Fate series world line, she accidentally created an unrepeatable miracle.

However, the third method mastered by the Winter Saint, Justisa, and herself are almost finely woven fabrics that will not change or grow. Any change will lead to the failure of the third method she can use and her own death.

However, the true third law is not like this, because change is the only eternal and unchanging truth in the world.

So, what is the true third law?

Based on the description of the 'Spirit of the Weapon - Yustisa', Xia Yan came to a more reliable conclusion after filtering out the various conceptual terms and mysterious statements in the Type-Moon magic system.

The Third Law - The Heavenly Cup is more than just the materialization of the soul.

In other words, the materialization of the soul is merely the appearance of the third law, and its true core should be more accurately described as an "activated information-state life form."

The so-called information-state life is an abstract concept - that is, life forms can not only be carried by matter, but it is very likely that there is life that is purely based on information and ideology and is not bound by specific physical forms.

This kind of idea often makes people think of the soul at the first time.

That's right, the Third Law - Heaven's Cup has never been about materializing the human soul and replacing the decaying body, because over a long enough period of time, the soul cannot remain unchanged.

Therefore, the true third method is to transform all information related to "people", whether it is physical or spiritual, such as thoughts and consciousness, into an active information structure.

It can also be understood as a monster or something else transformed from pure information.

To explain it more simply, let's assume that the entire Type-Moon universe is a game server. Different Type-Moon world lines are different game versions and maps. The Third Law - Heaven's Cup is to upgrade an NPC in this game to a player account.

Yes, the account is not the game character controlled by the player, but the account that the player uses to log in to the game server and enjoy the game services.

Under this account, players can create multiple characters, just like the MMO game that Xia Yan played before he traveled through time. He can create the sword immortal of Qingyun, the fire mage of Fenxiang, the assassin of Hehuan, the warrior of Guiwang, and the nanny of Lingxi in the account. Each character can have a different game name, but they belong to the same game account.

This is the essence of the Third Law - Heaven's Cup.

Don't think it's nothing.

Because after being upgraded to a player account (an activated informational life form), the controller of the Third Law - Heaven's Cup, theoretically has "infinite" possibilities. As long as it is a "character" that can be created in the Type-Moon Universe game server, he can create it.

He can be a single human being, or he can become an active information-state life form, and he can use external matter and energy as his carrier at any time to create a physical body that he deems suitable from scratch.

He can also be all human beings. As an activated information-state life form, He does not need a flesh and blood body and can live directly within the human race as a whole.

If the restraining force Alaya is the collective subconscious of the human beings on Earth in the Type-Moon world, then He can freely choose to become any part of the human group, from material to non-material.

Breathing, blood, bone marrow, sperm, nerve signals... all depend on whether this activated information-state life form is willing, and the restraining force Alaya is completely powerless against him.

Not only humans, He can also be any part of any information carrier in nature, such as plants, water, light, air, soil...

Likewise, neither the restraining force of Gaia nor the planet itself can prevent Him from existing in the information carrier He wishes to possess.

Even the Heroic Spirits were the same... He could rely on the characteristics of activated informational life forms to create the legends and deeds necessary for the Heroic Spirit's ascension, because those were ultimately just information relying on the Type-Moon Universe game server. For Him, a 'player', it was just a matter of creating a character, then controlling that character offline or online, defeating monsters and leveling up along the way (the Heroic Spirit's legends and deeds).

Therefore, for Him, a Heroic Servant is just a game character under his own player account that can be created or used at any time. Relying on the "mysterious" rules on Earth, He can also create various skill equipment (Noble Phantasms) by hand.

However, the third method mastered by the Winter Saint, Justisa, is far different from it.

It can only transform humans into a state similar to that of a heroic spirit.

But the Heroic Spirit is dead and has no future of its own. It is just a quantum record that carries a piece of information that will never change.

Compared with the real third method, at most it just turns an NPC in the game server into an NPC with the identity of a game character. Not only can it not enjoy the convenience of a player account, but it can also be repaired or deleted at any time as a faulty program during the version update and data evolution of the game server.

This is the current situation of 'Irena'.

The card system bug was successfully fixed, but the price of success was that everything Irena already had was fixed.

She used to have human-computer logic, and it is still human-computer logic now, and she has also lost the system-provided mechanism from that MMO game, where the three priorities of intelligent teammates and NPCs override everything else.

She had no real self-awareness before, and she has no self-awareness now. She can only react to the outside world in a conditioned way like a mentally retarded human machine.

In order to confirm his judgment, Xia Yan simply reached out and skillfully embraced 'Irena' in his arms, just like the first few days in the 'copy' world. He lowered his head to kiss her pink lips while holding her body close to himself.

Then, unlike in the 'copy' world, this time 'Irena' began to struggle and resist, but her movements were quite rigid and mechanical.

Especially when Xia Yan snatched the wand from her and threw it far away, not giving her a chance to get it back, 'Irena' no longer tried to take back the wand and use magic to resist, but returned to the stage of 'a girl physically resisting a forced kiss'.

For Xia Yan, it seemed to be a "good thing" in a sense, because "Irena" could now really be made into a flannel ball to be used, because all her variables were permanently solidified on the human-computer logic NPC by the incomplete third method - the Cup of Heaven. Even if she had all the memories and cognition of the Gray Witch herself, she could not go beyond the solidified human-computer logic.

"But why would I want a large lifelike doll?"

Xia Yan released Irena's little mouth and hugged the witch, whose face was already red and her body was limp, but she was still mechanically performing the "physical resistance of a girl being forced to kiss", and he couldn't help but sigh.

'Irena' in this state is even worse than the ruthless human-machine in the 'copy' that fights decisively and ruthlessly under the influence of the three priority mechanisms of immunity to friendly fire, assisting in combat, and actively following!

So, after hesitating for a moment, Xia Yan focused his attention and took out a magic weapon from the storage space on the magic weapon page... a magic weapon that he originally thought he would never use, but which might just be able to solve the problem of 'Irena'.

[Magic Weapon: Caster Spirit Base]

(PS: Just in case, I still want to say that the third method here is purely my own creation, please do not substitute it into the original setting. This book cannot give the Type-Moon setting the first priority over all other worldviews. I really won’t go on the police call or anything like that. Thank you~)

Third instance: 74. Don't think wrong when playing League of Legends (fourth update)

Early morning hours.

The dawn breaks through the night.

A city gradually became active again.

Of course, this city is not located in Romania in the 2000s in the Type-Moon world, so no serious "natural gas pipeline leakage and explosion accident" occurred. As for whether there will be naughty children stuffing firecrackers into manhole covers to cause methane explosions in the future, only God knows.

All in all, another peaceful day.

Xia Yan was just like when he was staying in a high-end hotel in a Romanian city in the Type-Moon world.

Until three poles high in the sun.

Due to various things, after finishing the second 'copy', he had to work hard for a long time before he slowly opened his eyes on the soft big bed in the hotel room.

Then, he looked at the unfamiliar ceiling in confusion for several seconds before he remembered what happened yesterday and turned to look at his side.

Also on the big bed in the hotel room.

The beautiful and delicate face of the silver-haired girl came into Xia Yan's sight. Looking at the tender lips on the pretty face so close to him, and recalling the shyness and beauty of the girl last night, he couldn't help swallowing.

Last night, he once again completed the world line change before traveling through time, which was the ultimate dream of countless otakus, to sleep in the same bed with a real two-dimensional wife, an epic achievement.

They also successfully took a step further and started playing solo games with each other in the room.

I'll skip the whole story and simply summarize it. It starts with hugs, kisses, and the friendly interactions before the preliminary rounds...

After that, the game officially began, but Xia Yan's team had an absolute advantage. First, Prince's Q skill hit the dragon, and then Zhao Xin's E followed by Q and then repeated AAAAA...

During this time, he also continuously connected with Garen's silence skill, repeatedly interrupting the opponent's chanting, making the opponent scream out in frustration during the live broadcast: "Asshole, wait a minute, no!", etc. After being defeated by Xia Yan's series of smooth small skills, the opponent was defeated and lost their armor. The screams of losers resounded throughout the room...

Finally, the Holy Lance Ranger's ultimate move ended the baptism...

But after Xia Yan used up his Holy Lance Ranger's R, he immediately followed up with his E skill, Cold Pursuit, and pushed the troops all the way to the high ground...

No matter how hard the opponent struggled, trying to turn the tide against the odds, he was still powerless under his wave after wave of attacks. After the crystal exploded and suffered a huge blow, the defeated man stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, sobbing and choking softly...

However, competitive play is brutal. After the crushing defeat in the first match, due to the psychological breakdown and morale problems, as well as the mid-lane laning being savaged by the wandering mage's skills, such as using W to imprison and then QEQ, E skill Spell Surge, then W to imprison and Q Overload, or two E skills Spell Surge stacked with the passive and then a Q Overload burst, followed by W imprisonment and QEQ... The psychological trauma of all-round suppression, the rematch was still a mess.

In short, the result of playing solo against each other is that all the records of a rookie in the preliminary round were swept... This is too violent for a newcomer (seriously), but this is the cruelty of competitive games!

Well, isn’t the above talking about the competitive League of Legends?

Those who didn't get to the 'key point', please consciously lean on the wall and think about it (￣ ￣)σ…(＿＿)ノ｜.

After recalling his experience of playing solo last night, Xia Yan suddenly became eager to try again, especially his brothers who were very discerning and immediately expressed their opinions.

Second brother: War (the meaning is very clear)

Just when Xia Yan couldn't resist the urge to join a solo competition and began to daydream.

"Ok?"

He suddenly noticed that the girl, who had her eyes closed and her head tilted against the pillow, had a suspicious blush on her cheeks.

What classic part of the two-dimensional anime is this?

Xia Yan tilted his head.

After showing a smile, he put his head forward.

"Well--"

Then, the girl woke up with a start, and her face, which was still young but with a hint of charm, turned red in an instant.

"—Wait, don't..."

And her voice of protest was soon completely suppressed along with her.
