Yin Sen from Silver Forest Dimension. It was also Fischer's family name.
[Confirm your name — Yin Sen?] [Yes.]
Laplace quickly clicked "Yes" this time.
As the name was confirmed, the lines of text slowly disappeared, and new changes began to appear in the dark space.
A glowing crystal path extended from the depths of the darkness.
Along with the crystal came the sound of footsteps.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps approached.
Laplace looked up and saw a figure walking out of the darkness along the crystal path.
And the figure's appearance …
It was Laplace himself!
…
[Please set your appearance.] [Yes.]
[You can adjust your character's appearance and body shape by adjusting her facial features and muscles. [Yes.]
[Note. This appearance will become your permanent appearance in the text column. Please set it carefully.] [Yes.]
Laplace read the lines of text to Angor.
"You're pinching my face?" Angor was a little surprised.
Facelift was a special appearance that players could set for their characters in holographic games.
This appearance would be used by players to control their characters in holographic games.
If facelift was used in a holographic game, it would not feel strange at all. After all, holographic games were meant for online entertainment, which should be separated from real life.
But in the Dream Crystal, was this face-pinching function really necessary?
They were already facing each other in real life. Adding "facelift" would only create a barrier between them.
Could it be that the Authority of the Immortal Land was planning to modify the Dream Crystal into a large-scale game?
That shouldn't be possible.
Because the authority could not do such a thing.
In the end, the Dream Crystal's Nightmare Lord's authority was only one kind of authority. The Nightmare Lord's authority in the Dream Crystal was innumerable.
If a single Immortal Authority could completely change and overturn the underlying logic of the Dream Crystal, then the existence of the other Authorities would be greatly weakened.
To put it simply, if the Immortal Authority were to modify the Dream Crystal into a 'large-scale game', it would be a drastic change, and the Authority would be affected.
Previously, the authorities were all independent.
If the Dream Crystal was turned into a large-scale game, all the independent authorities would be marked by the authority of "Dreaming in Wonderland".
Was that possible?
The answer was: not likely.
Powers would indeed affect each other, but it would not affect him to the point where he would have to "name" other powers.
Since the authority of the Immortal Realm was unable to affect the overall situation of the Dream Crystal, then what was he trying to do by creating this "face-pinching" segment?
Could it be that the authority wanted to change everyone's appearance when they entered the Wonderland dungeon?
But wouldn't it feel like taking off one's pants to fart?
That was because not all Wonderland dungeons were like the "Sunshine Circus", where everyone entered together and could meet other people in the dungeon.
Most of the Wonderland dungeons that appeared so far were single-player quests.
For example, "Helen's Dream", "Uriel's Choice", "Misty Isle Dragon's Tomb", and "Treasure Tower"..
You entered the Instance Dungeon alone and completed the Instance Dungeon alone. From start to finish, you were alone. Do you really need to pinch your face?
Generally speaking, in addition to satisfying one's aesthetic, the "face pinching" function was more for having a face that was different from reality in social interactions.
After all, it was to show your appearance to others so that they could tell who you were based on your appearance.
In other words, "facelift" was a social feature. Even if you did not socialize, your face would become a label that matched you in other people's eyes.
This was why "facelift" was often used in holographic games.
Because this is your own symbol, your own label.
However, the Wonderland dungeons were different. Most of the Wonderland dungeons were single-player quests, so there was no need to socialize or show one's face to others.
Therefore, it was pointless for Angor to change his appearance.
He could not figure out why the authority of the Wonderland would suddenly come up with "facelift".
Was it really possible to "copy" them all if they wanted to? Not leaving anything behind?
However, not all of its functions were suitable for him. Different cultural backgrounds could lead to different situations where people could not acclimatize when they landed.
Both Angor and Jon knew this.
When writing books in the Dream Wasteland's library, Jon would occasionally move books from Earth to the Wonderland.
However, he would never copy the original text. Instead, he would change the content according to local conditions to better suit the culture of the wizarding world.
Also, there were some types of books that Jon would never do.
Which was to criticize the current situation.
Different cultures would never resonate with such people. To put it bluntly, they would not be able to acclimatize.
Similarly, Angor agreed with the authority of the Wonderland. He believed that using the Wonderland Dungeons to train oneself was a feasible way to grow stronger.
However, Angor did not think that it was a good thing that the authority of the Wonderland Dungeon could completely copy the game's settings.
The "facelift" function was one of the drawbacks.
Angor rubbed his chin. "Maybe I can use the Tree of Authority to influence the facelift function?"
Laplace suddenly added, "That's right, I'm not sure.
"Because I haven't changed my appearance yet, a new line of text appeared."
Just like the previous names, the Wonderland Dungeon did not do anything for a long time, so some new information appeared.
[Do you want to skip the facelift? If you do so, no one will be able to watch your progress. ]
Laplace read the text to Angor.
Angor was stunned for a moment before he finally understood what was going on.
So the facelift function was not to change one's appearance in the dungeon.
It was to show the process of a player clearing the dungeon through the First Clear announcement.
In other words, the authority of the Wonderland Dungeon was using this method to announce one's name to the world. At the same time, other people could watch the "dungeon clearing video" to learn more tricks.
If that was the case, the facelift function was not undesirable.
Also, the authority of the Wonderland Dungeon did this for the privacy of the player who cleared the dungeon.
Not everyone was willing to show their faces in public. Most of them preferred to keep a low profile, and the facelift function was to protect their privacy.
Angor told Laplace about his theory.
Laplace: "In other words, the authority of the Immortal Land recorded the process of me clearing the Gluttony's Feast, and other people can see how I cleared it through the Immortal Land announcement?"
Angor nodded. "That should be it. But I don't know if it's through the announcement or some other function of the text bar."
Still, the general idea was correct.
"Are you going to make it public?"
If the clearance process at that time was made public, then the outer appearance would be modified. If not, then the outer appearance modification would be skipped.
Laplace carefully recalled the process of clearing the Dungeon of Gluttony.
In the end, Laplace shook her head. "Never mind. Not now."
Laplace did not really care about "making it public".
If the dungeon was really decrypted, and Laplace could share the knowledge to others as a reference, she would be willing to do so.
It was a small step for the development of the Dream Crystal.
However, she recalled that she and Gleipnir managed to clear Gluttony's Feast so quickly partly because of their strategy, and partly because of "cheats".
The so-called "cheats" were Laplace's "Reverse Scale" that Angor brought into the real world.
With the help of the "Reverse Scale", she was able to defeat almost all the enemies in the dungeon.
If other people saw such "cheats", not only would they not be able to learn how to clear the dungeon, but they would also question the fairness of the dungeon.
Therefore, skipping the dungeon was the best option.
Angor agreed with Laplace's decision. When Laplace was clearing the dungeon, Angor chatted with her from time to time as a spectator.
If someone found out that messages could be sent into the dungeon from the outside, Angor's identity would be exposed.
Of course, he supported Laplace's decision.
After reaching a consensus, Laplace chose to skip the dungeon without hesitation.
As Laplace made his choice, "Laplace", who was standing on the long path of transistors, slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Immediately afterward, there was a flash of light, and Laplace's consciousness in the dark space instantly fell and returned to reality.
At the same time, everyone with a screen could clearly see the changes happening in front of them.
[First Clear announcement in progress. Confirmed number of confirmed participants: 1/2]
[Confirmed time: 3 minutes. ]
Previously, the number of confirmed participants was "0/2". Now, it was "1/2". Without a doubt, the "1" was Laplace.
The only one who was not confirmed was Gleipnir.
Since Gleipnir was not online, Angor assumed that his name and image would be "skipped".
As for whether it was true or not, they would know in three minutes.
Time passed quickly, and the three minutes were up.
As the countdown ended, the words on the screen slowly disappeared.
The moment he disappeared, everyone in the Dream Crystal who had a light screen heard a 'ding' sound that sounded like a mechanical clock jumping in their ears.
Next, lines of words appeared in the center of the screen.
The handwriting was also special. Not only did it mean something, but it could also be read using one's spirit. Even those who could not read would understand it.
[First Clear Announcement]
[Congratulations to "Yin Sen" and "???" for being the first to clear a special linked wonderland — Feast of the Gluttons. ]
The announcement was simple. It only contained one sentence.
However, the color of the announcement was very bright, and it was placed on the screen. Anyone who turned on their screen would be able to see it.
It took about half a minute for the words to appear.
Next, the announcement became smaller and smaller. It was placed at a regular position on the screen and stopped flashing.
Just when everyone thought the announcement was over, new words appeared in the center of the screen.
[Text Bar Announcement:]
[1. All intelligent beings who have entered the wonderland dungeon will automatically activate the text bar. ]
Angor already guessed this. He skipped it.
[2. There are three ways to operate the text bar: manual operation, eye operation, and energy operation. ]
Angor and Laplace already guessed this. However, they did not expect that they could use energy to operate the text bar. Still, energy was not a good idea for now. They did not have enough energy for themselves, and it would be a waste to use it to operate the text bar.
In the early stages, manual and eye operation were more convenient.
Angor kept reading.
[3. How to open and close the text bar. ]
This one mainly explained how to open and close the text bar, or the screen in their vision.
The screen only took up a small part of their vision, and it would not affect their vision if they kept it on all the time. However, there were always people who could not even tolerate sand in their eyes, let alone a bright screen.
Therefore, they had to find a way to open and close the screen.
The method to turn off the light screen was indeed very simple. One could use hand gestures to control the light screen, directly pinching the light screen into a slit, and it would turn off. One could also use eye movements to control the light screen, select it, and use eye movements to drag it out of the field of vision, and it would disappear.
The same went for energy operation.
The way to open the screen varied from person to person. They could use hand gestures, eye movements, or energy trajectories as the basis for opening the screen.
It was a very "ceremonial" way to open the screen.
Angor was not sure if he "copied" the wonderland authority or created it himself.
[4. Some words in the text bar can be manipulated. ]
Angor was stunned for several seconds when he read the message.
What did "some words can be manipulated" mean?
Angor could not understand it. He decided to put it aside for now and read the rest.
However, there were no more words.
If the version was not updated, there would be only these four points.
He could understand the first three points, but the fourth one was something he couldn't understand.
Words can be manipulated? Is it typing?
But there is no input field.
Or is it clicking on words? Moving words?
Angor tried to use hand gestures or eye movements to click on a word. Still, there was no response.
As Angor was about to lose his mind, he suddenly saw the first announcement from the corner of his eyes.
[Congratulations to "Yin Sen" and "???" for being the first to clear the special linked wonderland — Glutton's Feast. ]
"Do I have to manipulate this place?" Angor mumbled and reached out his hand to touch the announcement.
As soon as he touched the word "Yin Sen", the screen in front of him suddenly flickered.
