Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 380: Only the Player is Getting Beaten Up_1
On the top floor of Building 13, Wang Linchi arrived easily.
For Players, Evil Qi is terrifying. Even top-tier Players, at this stage, can only get to the fifth floor—their levels and attributes are too low.
However, Wang Linchi was different. He came up as if taking a normal staircase. As he went higher, the Evil Qi indeed became denser, and in the end, it even solidified visibly.
Wang Linchi didn’t disperse the Evil Qi surrounding him. Instead, he blended into it as though becoming part of it, not further dispersing the surrounding Evil Qi.
He came here to launch a sneak attack, not to openly confront them, so there was no need to create too much commotion.
From here, one could see the battle on the front lines.
The Game System is utilizing fewer Players than I thought; it seems it really can’t spare them.
Previously, Wang Linchi hadn’t seriously counted how many people there were; after all, his focus was not on the Players, but the hospital Director and the Game System.
After the Director broke through the Game System’s instance barrier on the front lines, that was just the beginning. Numerous System avatars were drawn into the battlefield to battle the Director.
On one hand, they used their avatars to delay, and on the other, they constantly sought to transform the entire hospital into an instance, but the Game System had not been successful to this point.
This place is nearly transformed into an instance; why are they still hiding?
Watching the Director being beaten by the System avatars, rendering him unable to fight back, Wang Linchi was also puzzled. Although he was still able to resist being transformed into an instance, it was clear that he had fallen into a disadvantage. If he was careless, he could lose everything.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Wang Linchi saw the instance barrier beginning to merge.
Unfortunately, the Director was completely tied down, and the System’s avatars directly hindered his actions.
Wait, did I guess wrong? Is the Director not some Old Silver Coin feigning weakness, but just... genuinely weak? Wang Linchi was somewhat flabbergasted.
The System avatar that was originally chasing Wang Linchi had somehow disappeared, probably thrown into the hospital battlefield.
A single System avatar was enough to make the Director falter; now, with so many ganging up on him, how could he win?
In that case, I’m going to... As Wang Linchi was planning to ambush the Director, he realized something that shouldn’t have happened.
Unless the Director intentionally let the Game System transform the hospital into an instance!
Although it was possible that the opponent was truly weak, that probability was minuscule.
Sure enough, the entire hospital was directly sealed by the instance barrier, as if it had no power to resist.
Yet, Wang Linchi knew that the seventeen buildings of the hospital were still standing, making no move. Taking Building 13 as an example, if it released its Evil Qi, the situation could be reversed immediately. However, it didn’t happen; instead, they seemed as stable as Mount Tai.
So, is the plan to break through from the inside?
But an instance isn’t the Game System’s core.
Wang Linchi knew full well that an instance was more like a cage, not the true interior of the System.
As the instance barrier successfully merged, all Players were forcibly evacuated, including the Players within Building 13.
After all, there was only one Erroneous Sin here, already entangled with itself. Therefore, after the Game System turned it into an instance, the level of interference would be the greatest among all instances to date.
In other instances, the errors were complexly interwoven, yet their fundamental nature was simple.
At a glance, the patients, medical staff, and even the floors seemed to be Erroneous Sins, but in essence, they were all part of the hospital. Thus, they could be considered a whole, not separate entities.
The transformation is about to begin.
Wang Linchi watched as the entire interior of the hospital began to distort.
The merging of the instance barrier was just the beginning. To completely transform the hospital into the Game System’s property, it would inevitably have to undergo corresponding alterations.
Bit by bit, it would drain the marrow until it could be integrated into the Game System.
However, this transformation was not so easy. He saw the chains behind the Director burst with a powerful force. Instantly, the Director shook off the besiegement and swept away all the System avatars with ease.
At the same time, the seventeen patient buildings also began to exert their power.
Essentially, the entire hospital was displaying its true strength.
This power was not resisting the Game System’s transformation; instead, it was absorbing it.
If you can’t beat them, join them? Wang Linchi was taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated the hospital would opt for such an approach.
From Wang Linchi’s observation, the hospital was not adversely affected by the Game System’s transformation. Instead, it was actively absorbing its power, disguising itself as if it had been restructured into an instance by the Game System.
The next step would be easy: lie in wait, slowly absorbing the Game System’s power, and use their resources to build its own strength, all without anyone noticing.
Perhaps only after the hospital had fully absorbed the Game System’s power would the Game System realize this sinister parasitic tactic.
This plan of theirs is truly formidable, Wang Linchi mused.
From gathering Player data to infiltrating various instances, with the previous groundwork and cunning deceit, failure was nearly impossible.
The Game System seemed more like a self-aware program; though flexible, it was still lacking when faced with real people.
At least, unlike the hospital and the Director, the Game System wouldn’t dare use itself as bait.
This place, destined to become the instance with the greatest level of interference, appeared to be under complete Game System surveillance—and indeed it was. However, changing one’s perspective, it also became clear that the hospital would be the instance where the Game System invested the most. Once the Director and the hospital lined their pockets, they would have the capacity to empty out the entire Game System.
With one side waning as the other waxed, how could the Game System possibly win?
Just as he had envisioned, with the cooperation of the entire hospital and the Director, the transformation proceeded very smoothly. All traces were concealed under the Game System’s power.
Even if the Game System performed self-checks and virus scans, it wouldn’t detect any anomalies.
Because everything was done by the Game System itself. It personally concealed the traces, and It personally endorsed the process, so there couldn’t be any problems.
An invisible force began to compile the script, extracting a large amount of medical record content. Patients and medical personnel began returning to their wards and posts.
Everything seemed as if it had been reset.
And indeed, it was. Apart from the Director and the hospital itself, the memories, self-identity, and even humanity of these patients and medical staff had been altered by the Game System.
In reality, the Director and the hospital had also been altered. However, their strength was greater, their true selves and memories hidden in the deepest recesses, not to reawaken unless the plan was completed or encountered a major setback.
This time, I’ve indeed made quite a profit.
Although Wang Linchi hadn’t gained anything tangible yet, he had acquired valuable data:
The construction data for an instance.
This data was invaluable. In the future, he could leverage it to further develop the "data rules" entry within his Soul Kind: Destiny.
For example, if he created a completely dataized sealed area in a specific region, then even a formidable enemy encountering this seal, provided their defense could be breached, would have their health bar gradually chipped away.
The game character and data rules in Destiny were mostly for self-application; he couldn’t dataize others. But with this data-sealed area, he could dataize others too.
Whether it was making enemies without Resurrection Ability fight BOSSES or setting unbeatable foes as monsters for him to slay as a Player, these were all ways to weaken his enemies.
The Game System’s three techniques have evolved far beyond their initial stages after it became an Erroneous Sin, Wang Linchi noted.
This made Wang Linchi even more eager to obtain the Game System’s complete database.
To Linchi, this wealth of data was currently perhaps more important than the World Nucleus Prototype. Mainly because he couldn’t fully utilize the World Nucleus Prototype, whereas he could combine this database with his Soul Kind and utilize it to the extreme. After all, the game character and data rules were from an account he had stripped from the Game System.
To get my hands on this, I can’t be rash; I’ll have to use someone else to do the dirty work. Wang Linchi believed that if he wanted this database, he would undoubtedly need the hospital’s help.
If the hospital intended to use a parasitic method to profit by borrowing another’s resources, Wang Linchi would force it into a head-on collision with the Game System.
I’m being so greedy. Could I end up trying to steal the chicken, only to lose the rice I used for bait? Wang Linchi pondered. He desired both the Game System’s database and the Director’s Stone Heart. Such greed would surely lead to trouble.
At this point, Wang Linchi could only prepare for the worst: ending up massively in debt and having to make a run for it.
