Chapter 870: Chapter 874: Death by overwork
At night, in the Hearthstone Tavern Hall of Ascek.
The High Elf elders were discussing how to manage the amusement park after it was officially opened.
Elder Quitoan had become the highest-ranking person in charge of the amusement park.
Joshua did not interfere with their discussion. He just listened quietly from the side. At the same time, he found a notebook and wrote down some settings that were needed for the game.
There were still two high elf elders who were not very supportive of humans entering Ascek. However, in front of the will of the world tree, no one would care about their thoughts.
“After the official opening, the number of humans entering Ascek will reach around 30,000. This is far more than the first test…”
Before Elder Kuitoan could finish his words, the sound of something rolling down the stairs interrupted him.
Joshua stopped his brush and raised his head. The sublimator, Bai Yue, who was temporarily staying here, climbed up from the floor in a sorry state.
“The… Guardian…”
“Another judge has invaded the Consciousness World?”
Joshua looked at her in such a hurry. It did not seem like she was here to inform him that the task that he had entrusted them with had been completed.
“No. Mother and father accidentally used up all the energy in their bodies in order to complete your task.”
Bai Yue told Joshua a piece of news that was a little funny, but it was really hard to laugh at.
“I haven’t given you guys overtime yet. It’s just a test. Don’t die of overwork so quickly…”
Joshua directly summoned the White Bird and stopped it on his head. He entered the space of consciousness in the hall of the Hearthstone Tavern.
In just half a day’s time, a large number of buildings had appeared in the empty space of consciousness.
However, these buildings were more or less flawed, and they went against the laws of architecture. For example, a bell tower-like building only had three walls, and the other wall was completely empty.
Joshua ignored these deformed buildings, and white moon brought Joshua to the mother and father who had symptoms of overwork.
The symptoms of overwork of the sublimators were not as simple as a coma. The bodies of the girl and the boy who fell to the ground began to gradually become transparent.
“What did they do to become like this?”
Josh bypassed the group of sublimators and came to the girl’s side. Judging from her body condition, it would not be long before she turned into light.
“Mistress wants to complete the construction of this town together with master.”
White Moon handed a book to Josh. This book was the set of settings for the novice village that Josh had given them previously.
“Completely created?”
The set of settings that Joshua had drawn was full of useless manuscripts. Joshua only wanted to test the modeling ability of this group of sublimators.
However, this mistress did not seem to understand the concept of useless manuscripts..
Joshua raised his head at the place where she had fallen and found a complete town in front of him.
“Are you all monsters?”
Although Josh knew how powerful the Sublimator’s modeling ability was, the scene in front of him could only be described as a miracle.
The town’s architecture was far more exquisite than Josh had imagined. This made Josh subconsciously walk past the silver gauze lying on the ground and all the way to a house that looked like a giant ship. He pushed open the wooden door and walked in, he couldn’t help but sigh.
Were all sublimates’modelers monsters?
Or… were they obsessive-compulsive about details?
Joshua looked at the interior of the building called the ‘Drooping Moon Tavern’. Tables, chairs, wine barrels, wine glasses, and kerosene lamps were all available.
Joshua could not find any flaws in the details. When he picked up the two wooden wine glasses, he could even see completely different patterns on the two wooden wine glasses.
This group of sublimates was not only obsessed with details, they also did not know what the great art of map-making was
“Mistress!”
Bai Yue’s voice interrupted Joshua’s thoughts. When Joshua turned around, he found that the mistress who was lying on the ground seemed to have woken up.
Joshua left the model of this tavern and went directly to the side of the mistress who was lying on the ground.
It was difficult for her to even lift her eyelids now, but she still saw Josh beside her..
At this moment, she wanted to get up from the ground, but the boy beside her was still unconscious.
“How was it? Did I pass?”
The mistress’voice sounded very weak, but the weakness could not hide the pride in her voice, as if she was showing off the ability of a sublimator to build a model, the best in the world.
Joshua could feel the anticipation in her eyes. He also wanted to give this ‘test paper’a high score of 200 points.
But unfortunately..
“No,”Joshua answered her coldly.
The moment the silver veil heard the word ‘no’, she almost stood up and grabbed Joshua’s collar to ask why, but her weak body could not support her to do this kind of action.
“Why?”The silver yarn could only ask this question in White Moon’s arms.
“I asked you to create a game world, not the real world.”
Joshua was holding two cups that he had taken out from the tavern earlier.
The White Bird landed on the two cups at this time, turning these cups from ‘The sublimator’s creation’to ‘The Magic Web’s data’.
The transformation process took less than a second. The cups were made of runes, so the white bird only slightly optimized them.
“Some of the details in the game world are important, but too much detail will… make the game very complicated. For example, can you duplicate these cups so that the runes of the two cups are exactly the same?”Joshua said.
“There won’t be two identical cups in the world,”silver yarn said to Joshua in a weak voice.
“But there are in the game… and a lot of them… and try to simplify the structure of these cups as much as possible. When you make the cups, just think of it as two layers of paper on the surface of the air cups.”
Joshua held the two wooden cups in his hands. According to the statistics of the inscription runes that Joshua had set, these two cups should be about 10 MB in size.
“Two layers of paper…”
Before the silver gauze could figure out what Joshua wanted to say, it fainted again.
At this moment, Joshua realized that his work on game optimization… might be more complicated than he imagined.
“Are the two of them running out of energy?”
Joshua saw that the silver gauze had become more transparent, so he put down the wooden cups in his hands and began to think about how to alleviate their symptoms.
“Yes… Yes, the energy in our bodies is still very strong, but only the mistress and the master know how to transfer magic power,”White Moon said.
“How did you guys absorb energy in that sanctum?”
Joshua remembered that the energy of sublimators came from the emotions of living creatures, but Nolan was so deep underground that there wouldn’t be any living people, unless they were self-sufficient.
“We… have a protocrystal called the Infinity Stone. We have been living on the magic power inside that protocrystal,”White Moon said, revealing the true secret of the sanctum. “So, Guardian, please let Master and master return to the sanctum.”
Joshua directly opened a door that could let them return. The other sublimators hurriedly carried master and master, whose bodies were translucent, and left the place.
Only White Moon, who was unable to pass through the door, was left behind.
“The magic power in the Infinity Stone that you mentioned is not infinite, right?”Joshua asked White Moon.
