Angor took a closer look.
At the center of the light screen, a small hourglass had appeared once again.
It seemed to mean that he had entered the "loading page" again.
However, the loading this time was different from the previous loading. This time, there were two rows of text below the hourglass.
[First Clear announcement is in progress. Confirmed number of people in this announcement: 0/2]
[Time confirmed: 3 minutes. ]
Angor was dumbfounded. What's this? First Clear announcement?
First Clear … Was it the "first clear" he understood?
Angor scratched his head. If it was the "first clear" he understood, then the reference of the authority of the Immortal's Domain was a blatant copy of the game's setting, right?
Angor felt that it was ridiculous. But when he thought about the series of operations after the establishment of the authority of the Immortal's Domain, he felt that … it was understandable.
At first, the Immortal's Domain was called "Special Dream".
But after Angor named it "Dream in Wonderland" and often called it a "dungeon", the authority of the Immortal's Domain accepted the name by default. Even the notifications of the Immortal's Domain began to change accordingly.
Obviously, Angor's subjective consciousness could slowly change the authority of the Immortal's Domain.
To put it bluntly … the authority of the Immortal's Domain was very good at "copying" from Angor.
Not only that, but the authority of the Immortal's Domain was also very "rogue" sometimes.
For example, the authority of the Immortal's Domain was very good at intercepting.
When Angor tried to pull "Sweet Dream" into the Dream Crystal, he did not really succeed in the end. However, some unknown things still entered the Dream Crystal.
At that time, the authority of the Immortal's Domain intercepted Angor before he could decipher this unknown part.
The unknown part of "Sweet Dream" was turned into a crystal creation called "Love Pillow" and hidden away.
This kind of interception was not the first time it happened.
As long as an item had a special origin or contained certain emotions, it could be pulled into the Dream Crystal from the real world and be intercepted by the authority of the Immortal's Domain.
This kind of interception was actually a rogue behavior.
Of course, this was Angor's understanding from a human's point of view. From the perspective of the Dream Crystal, this was not a rogue behavior. It was a complete logic chain, or rather … a worldview.
Angor even felt that the new change of the authority of the Immortal's Domain, the light screen, might also be the authority of the Immortal's Domain intercepting the rules of the text space.
In short, the operation of the Immortal Authority had always been ridiculous.
Because of this, when Angor heard the word "First Clear", he thought it was ridiculous, but at the same time, it was within his expectations.
Angor chuckled and looked at Laplace.
He wanted to confirm whether Laplace's light screen had changed as well.
Laplace's answer was certain: there had been a change.
But to his surprise, Laplace's display was different from the others.
"In addition to the two lines you mentioned, I have an extra button for confirmation," Laplace said.
According to Laplace's description, a red button box appeared on her screen, and the word "Confirm" was written on it. There was also a shadow of a small hand on top of the button box, which seemed to be hinting to Laplace that the confirmation button could be pressed by hand.
In addition, there was a three-minute countdown next to the confirmation button, as if urging Laplace to press it.
Now he was sure that Laplace's authority was "stolen" again.
It was the "Confirm" button in the hologram tablet.
Speaking of which, Laplace's display was different from Angor's. It seemed … normal?
If this was the "First Clear" announcement, then Laplace was indeed one of the participants.
"What's the" Confirm "button? Do I need to use it? " Laplace was a little confused. From the display on the screen, it seemed like she needed to press the confirm button. However, Laplace was a little confused about what would happen after she pressed it.
"I don't have a" Confirm "button here, so you must be one of the two" Unconfirmed "people mentioned in the announcement."
"The other" Unconfirmed "person, if I'm not mistaken, isn't online yet."
Laplace showed a doubtful look again. "?? You know who the other "Unconfirmed" person is? "
Angor nodded. "I have a guess. Most likely it's Glepnir. However, I'll only know if my guess is right after you click the confirm button. "
Is Gleipnir one of the two candidates listed on the bulletin board? Laplace still did not understand. Why was it just her and Glepnir? Where were the others?
Glepnir frowned. "Should I press" Confirm "now?"
"Go ahead," Angor said.
Angor knew a thing or two about the "Unconfirmed" authority. The "Unconfirmed" function was probably just a procedure or some kind of ritual. It would not make much of a difference whether he pressed it or not.
Just look at the three-minute countdown next to him. If he didn't press the button, the Celestial Authority would probably take over and let the Authority take over.
So, at least there was still room for maneuvering.
Besides, this was the first announcement, and Angor really wanted to know what the authority was playing at.
Even if it was just a procedure, he could at least learn something if he pressed it himself.
Laplace didn't know what Angor was thinking. But since Angor was sure about it, she didn't hesitate any longer and …
Laplace suddenly stopped and looked at Angor. "How should I press it?"
The "Confirm" button was on the screen.
The light screen was something that only Laplace's eyes could see.
Did she have to press it on her own eyes?
"The screen should be right in front of you. You can raise your hand and try to touch the button on the screen in front of you. If that doesn't work, focus your eyes on the button." Angor was not sure how to do it either. But he had a general idea. "The screen should be right in front of you. You can raise your hand and try to touch the button in front of you.
These two methods were also used to control the hologram tablet: Holographic Touch and Eye Motion Capture.
If the authority of the Immortal Realm really had a "plagiarism" function, it was probably these two methods.
Laplace followed Angor's instructions. "Yes, it works. Touch the air with your hand or look at it with your eyes."
Angor was speechless. So you're plagiarizing without changing the template.
Angor complained in his mind but kept a calm face. "Press it then."
Laplace checked the countdown timer. There was one minute and thirty seconds left. She nodded and pressed the button in the air without hesitation.
The red button was pressed just like that.
As the button "caved in", Laplace's vision went dark. It was as if her consciousness had left her body and entered a strange dark space.
However, although her consciousness had entered the dark space, she could still vaguely sense the situation outside.
It was as if her consciousness was divided into two parts. Most of it was inside the dark space, while a small part was outside.
It felt like her consciousness was separated, but it did not feel like her consciousness was separated. It was just that her consciousness was showing two different aspects.
It was a strange feeling.
She seemed to be able to walk around in the dark space, talk to Angor, and even see everything that was happening outside.
Laplace wanted to continue studying this marvelous' vision ', but at this moment, the dark space changed.
Rows of words appeared in the center of the space.
[Congratulations. You are the first to clear a special linked wonderland — Glutton's Feast. ]
[Now announcing the completion of the quest to the entire realm to show your glory. ]
[Please set your name:???] ]
These words sounded like the description of the wonderland.
From these words, Laplace roughly understood what "first clear" meant. It referred to those who cleared a wonderland dungeon for the first time.
However, Laplace was a little puzzled. Why would it be the Paradise Dungeon, Gluttony's Feast? According to the order of clearing the dungeon, the first one she cleared was not Glutton's Feast.
She cleared "Helen's Dream", which led to another wonderland dungeon, "Bila's Sweet Dream", which led to the so-called linked wonderland — Glutton's Feast.
Helen's Dream should be the first clear, right?
Also, what did the name of the setting mean? Was it the name used in the announcement?
Laplace told him about what he saw.
"… I knew it." She even copied the name of her "game ID". But why was "Glutton's Feast" the first clear? Did "first clear" mean something else?
"What do you mean?" Laplace asked.
Angor shook his head and put the question aside for now. "Nothing. These words basically tell you that you need to choose a name that represents your current self in the Dream Crystal. With this name on the First Clear announcement, there's a high probability that everyone with a screen will see this announcement. "
"As for the name, I think you can use your real name, or a nickname. Or you can just make up a name for yourself."
Angor explained his general idea based on his gaming experience in the tablet.
While he explained, Laplace followed his instructions.
The operation was simple. He could write, lock, or even record the name using his voice.
As Angor said, he could do whatever he wanted with the name.
For example, Laplace wrote the name "Luigi" in the row of "???".
Along with the name, another line of text appeared below.
[Confirm your name — Luigi? Once the name is set, it cannot be changed without a corresponding item. Please make your decision carefully. ]
Since Laplace explained the changes while operating the tablet, Angor also learned the information.
Angor could not help but complain about it in his mind.
A name is fine, but you can change it with a corresponding item? You're going to make more name cards in the future, aren't you?
Angor rubbed his swollen temples. "You're really going to call yourself Luigi?"
Laplace shook his head. "Just trying."
With that, Laplace deleted the name "Luigi" from the screen.
However, she did not write down her name right away. Instead, she planned to do nothing.
If she did not write anything when the countdown ended, she would not be exposed.
Soon, the countdown came to an end.
However, Laplace still did not change anything when the countdown reached zero. It seemed that he could not proceed to the next step without writing his name.
Angor's screen did not change either. The confirmation time was three minutes, but three minutes had already passed.
Angor said, "Maybe if you don't press the" confirm "button, the system will decide on its own when the countdown ends. But if you press the "confirm" button, the countdown will be canceled, and your time will be used. "
To put it simply, three minutes was the time for the "confirm" button. It did not mean that the "first clear" announcement would come out after three minutes.
Laplace: "So if I don't press the button, my name won't be exposed?"
Angor considered and shook his head. "I don't know. We'll know when the announcement comes out."
Angor was now certain that the other "confirm" was Glepnir.
Back then, it was Laplace and Gleipnir who had completed the Gluttony's Feast dungeon.
Therefore, they must be the first to clear it.
Right now, Glepnir was not online, so he could not receive the notification or press the "confirm" button. Therefore, when the announcement came out, Angor would see how Glepnir was described, and he would know whether he would be exposed or not.
Angor believed that since the "first clear" announcement was made, there was a high chance that Glepnir would be exposed. It was just that the degree of exposure would be different.
Laplace: "By the way, what's the system you mentioned? The system decides on its own? What does that mean? "
"…" Angor was speechless. That was too easy.
Angor considered and explained, "You can think of it as a non-artificial one. Think of it as the will of the" authority "?"
Laplace already knew what Angor meant. But why did Angor call the non-artificial entity "system"? Laplace still found it strange.
Maybe it was a word he made up himself. Just like the word "dungeon", it was probably a special pronoun.
Laplace did not pay too much attention to it and threw the irrelevant thoughts to the back of his mind.
She decided to wait for a few more minutes and see …
Laplace did not really care about whether her name was exposed or not. But if she could avoid it, she preferred not to.
Three minutes later, another row of text appeared in the center of the dark space. Perhaps Laplace did not press the button for a long time.
[Do you want to skip the naming step? If you do, your name will exist as a garbled code. Garbled names can be changed in the future, but only once. ]
[Garbled names cannot use all functions of the text bar. Please set your name as soon as possible. ]
Laplace explained the situation to Angor.
"Garbled if I don't give it a name? Then I think Glepnir's name will be garbled too. "
Angor paused and continued, "Are you going to use a garbled name?"
According to the notice, garbled names could not be used in the text bar. However, Angor did not know what the function of the text bar was, so it was fine to use a garbled name.
Laplace also thought about this. She considered for a moment and said, "Forget it. I'll choose a name."
According to their speculations, since Gleipnir wasn't online, it was most likely a garbled name.
They already had a garbled name, so there was no need to add another.
Anyhow, they had to try every possibility. This was also a way to learn more about the screen and the new function of the authority.
A moment later, Laplace came up with a new name for herself.
— Yin Sen.
