Chapter 156 A Strange Social Landscape

This is a huge city filled with all kinds of man-made objects.

However, it is not the science fiction city he had expected.

It is a slightly dark city.

It is like a fantasy work based on the 18th and 19th century Britain, with many things removed and many things added.

In the visible place, the tall, long-eared humanoid creature in a tuxedo took a step back when the train-like machinery spewing gray smoke came along the track.

And then, in his sight, one after another non-human creatures emerged from the train.

The elves, dwarves, orcs, demons, and various strange creatures that Yao Yan was familiar with in his lifetime emerged from the steam locomotive.

At this moment, Yao Yan's body is a bird-headed man with a human body and a bird's head and wings on his back.

He looked at his "hands", which were not wings, but claws.

He turned his sight downward and saw two black bird claws.

Four claws?

However, at this moment, when he tried to let his spirit leave his body, he suddenly found that his spirit was locked in this body.

At this moment, his "fantasy" judgment was instantly suppressed.

Standing still, he began to swallow and filter all the memories in this body's mind.

As the memories emerged one by one, Yao Yan's eyes turned to the back, and on the bus stop where he was, there was an advertisement:

It was a huge beast with a human face and a lion's body, wings on its back, and a monster with a shape similar to that of a sphinx.

However, the text on the poster was:

[New life! A new beginning! Guarding the giant beast Saint Mnalong! ]

[Social responsibility is to guard the palace, no tedious work! ]

[Just a little money can give you such a new life! ]

Such a description made Yao Yan turn his attention back to the memory he was still swallowing and digesting.

Then, he learned about a world that was even more bizarre than any previous world.

Yao Yan carefully sorted out the current worldview of this world.

The things described in the import interface are not the current era.

In other words, it only describes this era from the perspective of historical development.

There is no description of the specific details and forms of this era.

Because the writer of this "round", the world of this era is a distributed society.

The writer carefully described the structure of a society-

It seems that he felt that the appearance of humans was too boring. He described a world that was not human, or not only human, as the race of this world.

And with the writer's description as a guide, all forces and capital are fully promoting and reshaping.

Consciousness can be transferred in different bodies, and in the writer's description, different jobs in this world are handed over to different races.

Dwarves are responsible for forging, elves are responsible for artistic work, and different types of races are also responsible for different jobs.

For example, now, his current body is a humanoid race, a birdman, specifically a "crowman".

And his racial work is to be responsible for transporting and disposing of corpses by flying.

The social functions of different races are solidified.

However, different races can use the money earned from social work to purchase consciousness transfer, transfer their consciousness from one body to another, and become another race.

Even, this society has special "criminal races".

For example, the rat people in the humanoid race and most of the rat tribe in the non-human race.

The social work of these races is stealing, which is various crimes such as destruction.

In this world, in the current era of this society, crime is a top-down plan.

A social situation planned to be closer to the world described by the writer.

In this era, as long as you have money, you can constantly transfer your consciousness and become a profession of various races.

The writer has become the direct guide of the direction of world development.

If a writer describes that there will be a war in the world, then people from various forces will do everything to cause the war.

Who will be destroyed specifically, if the writer does not describe it, then these forces will decide each other.

Is this ridiculous?

Yes, Yao Yan also thinks it is ridiculous.

However, even if a war is started, it will meet the goals of certain forces, such as restructuring interest relations and occupying a larger share of interests.

Yao Yan browsed through his memories. With "consciousness transfer" becoming a social infrastructure technology, everyone in the world has become a large-scale role-playing game.

A world-scale running group game.

However, Yao Yan was a little confused.

What kind of consciousness transfer is this world's "consciousness transfer"?

Yao Yan couldn't be sure of the rest, but if there is such a technology, then the "consciousness" carrier of this technology would definitely not be the spirit.

After all, his spirit, his consciousness, was firmly locked and trapped in this body.

Then, he sat back on the chair in the bus stop.

Opening the suitcase held by his claws, Yao Yan saw a change of clothes and utensils.

Although this world is a mixture of various "fantasy" races, these fantasy races do not have any special abilities, and basically only have physical means.

For example, the Crowman in his body has the ability to "fly" which is different from other races.

Moreover, this society has strict legal regulations for "acting".

However, these regulations and laws are set according to the society described by the "penman".

Some things can only be owned, purchased, and used by certain races.

For example, forging tools are limited to races such as dwarves that use forging as a social function.

Art performances such as painting and singing are also limited to races such as elves.

And his social occupation as a Crowman is a "bone collector".

Regarding the various tools for transporting, collecting, and repairing corpses, only he can buy them.

Not only that, there is also a set of legal regulations for "food".

Although Yao Yan now has no aversion to grains, insects, bird eggs, fruits, and corpses as food, but from the perspective of his values ​​before his death, he cannot accept eating corpses, especially rotten corpses.

However, in this society, most individuals have no idea about these.

Because, under this social situation where "consciousness can be transferred" and "social landscape must conform to the description of the writer", their three views are different from the set of values ​​that Yao Yan is familiar with.

For example, "family", the concept of parent-child, at least, in this era, has basically collapsed.

Memories and thoughts made Yao Yan ponder for a long time.

However, soon, he broke away from these thoughts.

His ultimate goal, of course, is to follow the introduction instructions, find the "writer", or even make himself the writer, change and influence this era, this society, so that when he leaves the trial space, he can obtain a larger star shadow.

However, before that, he must find Lao Jia first.

This time, he did not come alone.

Ps: How is it? This world view background?

It's just a little difficult to write. These worlds were originally outlined according to a book, and now they are taken out and used as a copy.

There is a big difference between writing long and short stories.

In a long novel, slowly showing the world view and laying out various conflicts are very different from short stories.

My writing style tends to be bland, and I am not very good at setting up various continuous ups and downs of the plot. This is even more obvious when I wrote this book. (Shrug)
