If this conjecture was true, wouldn't it mean that the time-traveling avatars that Laplace placed in the Forest of Memories might have been transformed into special NPCs similar to Mei Ji by the Wonderland?
This was going to be a "big project".
Angor could count at least a dozen different types of Laplace's Punctuation Avatars. Cicada Fairies, Rainbow Fairies, Moonlight Banshees, Red Dwarves, Harpies, Abyss Succubi, and so on.
There were even more races that Angor had never heard of or seen before.
Did they all become NPCs?
Before Laplace could say anything, Glepnir spoke first. "Speaking of which, I've been to the Forest of Memories before. It's the Forest of Memories in the Dream Crystal.
"The Forest of Memories in the Dream Crystal is similar to the outside world, but there's not a single Punctual Clone inside."
"I thought the Dream Whelk couldn't pull Timepieces into the Dream Crystal, so I didn't think too much about it. Now that I think about it, I think I was wrong. The Timepieces were already inside the Dream Crystal. They just combined with the authority of Dream Crystal and became the "gifted subjects" Angor talked about. "
"Do you mean the clones in the Forest of Memory are living creatures?"
Laplace considered and shook his head. "No. They're just Timepieces. Timepieces are just a combination of memories affected by the law of the Forest of Memories. Only when they become real Timepieces can they be considered as living creatures. "
The memory entity looked real, but it didn't even have a physical body. They were just shells that were materialized under the influence of the law of the Forest of Memories and Laplace's special ability.
"If that's the case, the Dream Whelk should be able to pull them into the Dream Crystal," Angor said.
"That is to say, my temporal body has really become a gifted citizen?" Laplace asked in a low voice.
"… How about you take a look at this Mei Ji and see if she's the Treasure Mermaid in your memory?"
Under the watchful eyes of Laplace and Glepnir, Angor used an illusion to recreate the scene of Mei Ji meeting Jehanne for the first time.
"Mei Ji? Is she the Mei Ji you know?" Angor waited until the illusion was over before he asked.
Laplace nodded in silence.
Mei Ji's appearance was exactly the same as the one she had created.
"Then I'm pretty sure that your avatar has become a special NPC."
After coming to this conclusion, everyone was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.
"It's a foregone conclusion, and we can't tell if it's good or bad. But since they're Laplace's avatars, won't they be closer to you?"
For example, after Laplace entered the Silver Coral Island, Mei Ji directly gave him special treatment?
Laplace shook his head. "There are only their own memories in the time-bodies. There are no memories related to me. Therefore, even if I meet them, they won't recognize me. "
"So you're saying that turning your body into a special NPC doesn't benefit us much, right?"
"Benefits?" Laplace considered. "From the perspective of clearing a dungeon, I don't think it'll do us much good. Just like this Little Treasure Pagoda … In Mei Ji's memories, although there is the concept of a Little Treasure Pagoda, she has never seen one before. She doesn't know what's inside, so it's impossible for a 120th level trial to appear. "
The trial of the Little Treasure Pagoda was an instance created by the Authority of Dreamwalking in Wonderland combined with Mei Ji's memories.
It was an "original" dungeon, which only contained the background story of the mermaid.
Even if Laplace knew all of Mei Ji's memories, she wouldn't be able to help him clear the Treasure Tower.
For example, in the "Escape Room" dungeon that Jeanne was currently in, Laplace had never seen the secret room in this magnificent hall.
Laplace believed that the "Escape Room" dungeon was easy enough, but it was only the first floor. She had tried the circus dungeons before, so she knew how difficult those dungeons were. Strength was not the only criterion. If it was up to her, she wouldn't have the confidence to clear the Small Treasure Pagoda … after all, it was the 120th floor.
Glepnir suddenly spoke up, "She won't be able to help us clear the dungeon, but Mei Ji's character design fits the characteristics of a Time Clone."
"Character design? Characteristics? "
Angor asked. He could understand each word, but he couldn't put them all together.
Glepnir glanced at Laplace, and after seeing the latter nod gently, Glepnir explained, "Although the punctual embodiment created by the main body is only an integration of memories, in the process of creating the punctual embodiment, some of the characteristics of the punctual embodiment are actually magnified, or rather, the tendency of the future personality."
"Let's take Luigi for example. When he was created, his' pursuit of dreams' was enlarged," Glepnir said, "We wanted to create a person who would never give up pursuing his dreams. However, something went wrong during the enlargement process, which resulted in the Luigi you see now. "
Angor didn't know what to say. You Time Clones also complain about each other?
Still, Luigi was a "young man who pursued his dreams". His pursuit of music was sincere.
"You and little Laplace are the same?"
"My 'contemplation of questions' was enlarged." Glepnir didn't hide anything from Angor.
That was what Angor knew about Gleipnir's personality. He was good at analyzing things, but too suspicious.
Glepnir continued, "Little Laplace is different from us. She didn't enlarge any of her characteristics. She's just a projection of the main body's memories. She's a Time Clone created directly."
In short, Gleipnir and Luigi had both advanced from 'punctual bodies' to 'temporal bodies'. Although they had Laplace's memories in their heads, they also had their own memories.
The rabbit girl was a Time Clone created from the main body. She didn't have the "Time Clone" phase, so her memories all belonged to Laplace.
"So all Punctual Avatars have their own personalities?" Angor finally understood. "Yes.
"Yes." Glepnir nodded. "This Mei Ji is the same. When she was created, her characteristic was magnified — her tolerance to the good."
Leniency towards the good was a bit like the "Virgin Mary", but there was a difference between her and the Virgin Mary.
The Virgin Mary loved everyone equally, regardless of whether they were good or bad.
Mei Ji, on the other hand, only showed her tolerance to those who were kind. As for those who were evil or evil, she didn't care at all.
This was similar to Mei Ji's personality in the Wonderland dungeon.
Mei Ji allowed the kind to live on Silver Coral Island and gave them shelter. This was the result of "tolerance to the good".
Glepnir continued, "In other words, once we know the personalities of these Time Clones, we can adjust them accordingly. That's a benefit, isn't it?"
Angor nodded. "Yes, it is."
Although Mei Ji's kind character wouldn't be of much help in clearing the trial of the Little Treasure Pagoda, other dungeons such as the Sunshine Circus dungeon, if the host was impersonated on time, then they could act according to his personality. Perhaps the difficulty of each stage would be lowered and the reward for clearing the stage would be increased.
Therefore, from this point of view, there were also benefits to playing as a special NPC from time to time.
However, these benefits weren't obvious yet. So far, Mei Ji was the only Time Clone. The other Time Clone didn't know where they were yet. These benefits could only be expected in the future.
"Since you know Mei Ji's character, do you know what Mei Ji's criteria for kindness is?"
Angor didn't want to think about the NPCs in the future. He would deal with them in the future. As for now, he needed to focus on the present. If they knew how Mei Ji judged kindness, Silver Coral Island might become a place for new residents.
Laplace knew what Angor meant. She was the one who suggested that Angor use the power of the Dream Crystal to accept new residents. However, she didn't know how to answer Angor's question.
Laplace considered for a while and said, "Treasure mermaids are born with the power of the soul. They can sense a person's kindness as easily as breathing. It's their natural talent.
"It's just that the Treasure Merfolk's standards of good and evil are completely different. I don't know how Mei Ji judges kindness … "
The Treasure Mermaid was a native race of the world of Loft. In the Extraordinary system unique to Loft, the tears and scales of the Treasure Mermaid were important magic materials. This had influenced the mermaids' view of humans.
Some Treasure Mermaids believed that those who didn't harm themselves were kind.
Some Treasure Mermaids lowered their standards and said that those who obtained their tears and scales through trade were also kind.
However, most Treasure Mermaids believed that humans were evil as long as they were human.
Therefore, Treasure Mermaids had a very flexible view of good and evil.
Of course, in Mei Ji's memories, she had never been harmed by a human. Her view of good and evil should not be to the point that "as long as you are a human, you are evil". Otherwise, she would not have let Jenna enter Silver Coral Island.
However, even Laplace, who created the Punctual Body, didn't know how she judged kindness.
Since Laplace couldn't give him an answer, Angor gave up.
Judging kindness was a subjective matter. Besides, the Treasure Mermaid could adjust her view of good and evil as she wished. Perhaps she herself still didn't know how to judge kindness.
Instead of thinking about it outside, Angor might as well go to Silver Coral Island and check it out.
…
Angor, Laplace, and Gleipnir arrived at the pool. The surface of the pool was still as calm as before. However, there was a light circle at the bottom of the pool that connected them to the path to Silver Coral Island.
Angor was planning to explore the island with them. According to Mei Ji, they could leave as long as they didn't challenge the Treasure Tower.
This was a friendly arrangement for the three of them.
The three of them, especially Angor and Laplace, were not interested in challenging a fairyland dungeon. Of course, Laplace might be willing to try it if it was a simple and short one. However, he had no interest in a long and boring trial like this.
This was also the trauma that the previous Sunshine Circus dungeon had brought upon them.
However, Silver Coral Island was different from other dungeons. It existed for the sake of the Treasure Tower. Going to Silver Coral Island alone wouldn't affect them much.
Therefore, even Laplace thought that they should go to Silver Coral Island. Maybe they could even try sea fishing.
However, plans could not keep up with changes.
The light circle was under the pool, but they couldn't enter it.
At first, Gleipnir thought they couldn't enter Silver Coral Island because they didn't pass the "kindness" assessment. Later, Angor used his Paradise Authority to check the light circle and found that they hadn't reached the "kindness" stage yet.
Mei Ji was the one who activated the "kindness" assessment. However, Mei Ji was still outside the Treasure Tower. How could she do that without even seeing her face?
They couldn't enter Silver Coral Island because —
[Treasure Tower is activated. The entrance to Silver Coral Island will be locked. ]
In other words, once someone initiated the challenge of Treasure Tower, Silver Coral Island would be sealed off.
They wanted to enter Silver Coral Island.
They had to wait for Jeanna to come out.
Since they couldn't enter Silver Coral Island, Angor simply turned on a "live broadcast" and showed Jeanna's progress using an illusion spell.
He started the live broadcast purely because he thought that it was better to share the joy with others than to share the joy alone.
By "together", he meant Laplace and Gleipnir.
What he didn't expect was that Laplace and Gleipnir weren't interested in the process of clearing the level, mainly because the first level was too easy. The other new residents of Bunny Town, on the other hand, all opened their windows and craned their necks to watch the livestream excitedly.
Angor considered and decided not to end the livestream. They were going to try the Paradise Dungeon anyway. Watching Jeanna's progress would be an eye-opener for them.
Unfortunately, the difficulty of the dungeon was too low, and there was no life-threatening danger. Otherwise, it would be a great education.
In the livestream, Jeanna's puzzle-solving speed was quite fast. Fifteen minutes later, she had found five puzzle pieces and two gemstones. Only one puzzle piece and one gemstone were left.
As for the jigsaw and gemstone that she had yet to find, they were now locked in the same box.
However, the box was in a special location. It was inside the flue of a burning fireplace.
Maybe it was too dark. Jeanna walked past the fireplace many times without noticing it.
As Angor wondered if he should give Jeanna a hint, Jeanna happened to look at the fireplace.
