Luo Nan sat quietly. He stared at the mostly empty five level pyramid and continued to deduce his conclusions:
"The same pyramid can contain vastly different contents. This is probably because the standards are completely different.
"The previous stratification was just a simple reconstruction of the structure of society. Therefore, everyone could be placed within it. But this kind of structure did not have a clear and precise location for each individual. It was like a pile of spare parts. No matter how large or complete they were, they could not be assembled into a complete functional machine. It was meaningless.
"The current stratification standard is simple and crude … … Does it belong to 'me'? Under this simple logic, all existences unrelated to 'me' will be cleared out.
"As for what counts as' related '… … Obviously, it has to be directly related to the Self-Format. Only then will it be included in this system."
The software interface continued to undergo changes as his logical thinking advanced layer by layer. The heavily chained crow was like a giant python shuttling back and forth within the five level pyramid structure. But no matter how it moved, it always maintained a connection with Xie Junping, Cat Eyes, and the Wraith Sign.
The heavily chained crow was the symbol of 'My heart's a prison'. It was the materialization of the Self-Format.
Luo Nan had once used the heavily chained crow to destroy the Human-Faced Arachnid's clone for Xie Junping. Cat Eyes had once collided with Luo Nan's psychic diagram and was countered by the heavily chained crow. As for the Wraith Sign, it had always been under the control of the heavily chained crow.
These scenes flashed through Luo Nan's mind one by one. They became footnotes for his inferences.
Of course, there were differences between the three. This difference was reflected in the division of levels.
Xie Junping and Cat Eyes were on the student level. According to Formatting Theory, they did not make any contributions to the Social Format. They were 'learners' who received one-way indoctrination.
Though Xie Junping had stood up for Luo Nan and Cat Eyes had released her deep memories of Luo Nan, that was a change in orientation after entering the Formatting System.
Luo Nan was completely unable to obtain any 'direct benefits' from the bodies of these two people. And if major stimuli were to appear, they would likely refuse Luo Nan's' indoctrination '. They would walk out of the Format Pyramid and part ways with Luo Nan.
As for the Wraith Sign, it was completely like Luo Nan's dog. It would bite whoever it was told to bite. Speaking of which, its loyalty was off the charts. It also possessed extremely powerful abilities. More importantly, Luo Nan was able to obtain direct benefits from its body. The benefits he obtained were even higher than the benefits he could obtain from purely relying on the training of his body … … The results of devouring the Human-Faced Arachnid's avatar had already proven this point.
Therefore, the Wraith Sign entered the Technician Level.
But the problem was that it didn't have any self-awareness, so it couldn't rise to the level of "self-awareness." This level was already its limit.
Luo Nan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity as his thoughts reached this point. He felt as if he had seen such a clear hierarchy, gradually deepening connection, and feedback pattern somewhere before …
He searched through his memories, and the relevant scenes were fixed in his grandfather's ferocious roar.
Luo Nan pressed his forehead. His fingertips moved, and a certain word suddenly smashed into his brain. It was hard to get rid of it.
"Temple, God Nation, New God, Old God … God, God?"
In Grandpa's "crazy talk", the word "God" appeared very frequently and occupied a very central position.
In the past, Luo Nan would not have cared. But now that his horizons had been broadened, it was hard for his thoughts to remain pure.
He closed his eyes. In reality, he connected to the Psychic Wave Network through the HexaEar and entered the interface of the professional association. Then he searched for the "Secret Orders" entry, focusing on finding information related to their organizational structure.
Soon, a large amount of information poured out. It seemed that the Psychic Wave Network of the Society wasn't designed to be too powerful in terms of intelligent filtering. Luo Nan could only search and comb through the information with great difficulty. This lasted until there was a paragraph that attracted his attention:
"The vast majority of the founders of Secret Orders were unavoidably influenced by the existing culture of society. They often used ancient myths, mainstream religions, and historical legends as references when they first established the basic structure of their sects. They even used novels and games as models. They painted their sects with all sorts of fantastical colors and designed strict ranks. The specific concepts are vastly different … "
"When examining the Secret Orders that have existed for over ten years, one must admit that they have, to a large extent, a 'convergence' that makes one raise an eyebrow has appeared. Especially in terms of organizational structure. The Three Great World Secret Orders seem to coincidentally divide their internal personnel into four ranks. Although the names are all different, the meanings within are very similar. I have unified them as: Shallow Believer, Devout Believer, Fanatic Believer, and Favored. "
"As the names imply, the believers of these four ranks have different degrees of devotion and devotion toward the 'God'. And the gifts and rewards they receive from the 'God' are different as well. Facts can prove that the 'God' and the 'First Oblatum' are true to the various ranks of believers. The offerings, demands, and feedback they receive from the 'God' are real and not false. There is a strict hierarchy of judgement. They possess a similar but strict and feasible logic, forming a system that is still stable to this day … "
Luo Nan felt that this article was very much to his liking after reading halfway. It just so happened to answer his question, so he paid special attention to the author's name. He didn't expect the author to be quite familiar.
"Bamboo Pole … …"
If it wasn't the same name, then this person was the skinny and tall person who was in charge of intelligence work during the operation on the night of the 28th. Luo Nan remembered that this person always had a cheeky smile on his face, but his words were very sharp.
Luo Nan's impression deepened and he matched this person's description with his own situation.
Now he finally understood where the sense of familiarity came from. The four levels of the Secret Order's structure … … Of course, it was possible that this was a definition borrowed from a certain novel or a certain game. It seemed to be completely comparable to the Format Pyramid.
Although the Format Pyramid had five levels, the highest level, Politician, had a rather special definition. It represented the subversion and denial of the entire format. It could be ignored for the time being.
The next four levels were quite reliable.
If he looked at it this way, then his grandfather's Formatting Theory, or at least the level of the Social Format, was also a kind of ability explanation system … … And it leaned towards the standpoint of the Secret Order?
Then what was the current him? Was he some malnourished god?
Luo Nan rubbed his forehead even harder.
"Tired? We're almost home. "His uncle suddenly spoke.
Luo Nan went, "Uh." He jumped out of his thinking mode. It seemed that his attitude just now had made his uncle and aunt even more worried. He thought for a bit and pursed his lips in a feigned relaxed manner:
"I'm not tired. I'm just a bit hungry."
His uncle grunted and turned to speak to his aunt: "It's late to go home and cook. Should we let Old Mo make a nutritious meal, or should we deal with it outside? "
Mo Peng cried out in fright: "Heavens! Don't trouble him!"
