Chapter 4096: Rebel Forces
"Unlock a new identity by punishing with thunder ten times?" Angel stroked his chin and thought in a low voice: "This is a bit like triggering a hidden mechanism?"
Some fairyland copies have hidden mechanisms and even hidden tasks.
What Ingres didn't expect was that there was a similar mechanism in this dream chocolate factory.
Could it be that this dream chocolate factory is a "copy" of the Yi world?
Speaking of which, the water clone previously guessed that the chocolate factory was a secret place... Combined with Miss Gesha's information, the secret place of the Yi world seems to be somewhat similar to the copy in a sense.
The similarity is not in the mechanism.
Instead, both the secret places and the copies seem to have the "manifestation logic of the world's will."
Normally, the world will is an abstract concept of rule aggregation, distributed in the underlying structure of the world. Unless encountering major world-class events, they rarely manifest.
But there are exceptions in some special areas.
For example, a copy of Dream Crystal Origin.
The "manifestation" here does not mean its personification, but the stress response of the rule system to specific variables.
For example, the entrance to the dark corner should not have been included in the current opening plan, but Angel continued to advance the task and reached a certain rule threshold.
If it were someone else, the world's will would still not allow the entrance to the dark corner to appear, but it was discovered that it was triggered by Angel, the "superior authority".
The world will then calculate the weight of the risk factor of the triggerer and the impact of the event, and ultimately make the rules self-consistent by "making the entrance visible."
This "unexpected" thing that appears in the order is the result of the manifestation of the world's will.
It can also be understood that the world will is like the central control system of a factory, which is usually hidden in the gears and programs of the assembly line. Unless the production line is facing collapse, the parameters will not be easily adjusted - and "manifestation" is like the system suddenly modifying the process node for a special order.
The Wonderland copy can do this.
The secret place seems to have a similar mechanism.
Yes, in Angel's view, Satan experienced ten thunder punishments and unlocked his hidden identity "the rebel", just like a factory system discovered that a "part running in reverse" could actually increase production capacity, so it incorporated it into a special production line.
This is exactly the same as the underlying logic of opening the dark corner entrance in the Wonderland copy.
Of course, the above is just Ingres's speculation.
If the Dream Chocolate Factory is not a secret place, or if the change of identity has nothing to do with the "rules", then everything is different.
However, judging from the current clues, there is a high probability that the chocolate factory is a secret place.
Because "identity" is very important here, which is very similar to Edward's experience in the Knight's Castle...
……
The live broadcast continues.
"Rebel?" Coleman and Ice Girl looked at Satan in surprise.
Did this trigger some hidden plot?
Facing the surprised looks from Coleman and the Ice Girl, Satan said with some complacency, "That's right! Do you know how powerful I am now?"
"Don't think that I just triggered the thunder punishment repeatedly. In fact, this is my amazing wisdom!"
At this point, Satan raised his head and pointed his only left hand to the sky: "Damn God, keep striking me! Ten lightning bolts strike me——"
"Every word is a coronation for me!!!"
Satan raised his head and roared, looking high-spirited and domineering.
However, his domineering attitude lasted only for a second before Coleman headbutted him and knocked him to the ground.
Satan looked at Coleman with tears in his eyes: "You——"
Coleman said expressionlessly, "There are only eight minutes left. If you don't want to be annihilated, quickly explain the situation. If you want to show off, wait until the Ice Girl goes to the Candle House and the live broadcast screen is removed, then you can do whatever you want."
Seeing Coleman's iron arm raised again, Satan shrank his head tremblingly, silently swallowing the thick smoke, and explained the mystery of his new identity.
Soon, the identity of the rebels was explained.
First of all, the rebel is an underground identity, which does not affect Satan’s apparent “firework”. Satan still has to do what he usually does.
But the rebels gave Satan some special powers.
First, the lightning penalty for the rebels will be automatically reduced by one level, but it will not be reduced to zero.
For example, if Satan did not arrive at his workstation in time after eight minutes, he would have received an "annihilation" level thunder penalty, but because of the downgrade in weight, the annihilation thunder penalty was reduced to a collapse thunder penalty.
Similarly, the "collapse" level thunder punishment he suffered previously for obstructing other people's work will also be downgraded in weight, turning the collapse into the lowest level "burn mark".
But the thunder penalty cannot be reduced to zero, and once it reaches the level of "burn mark", it will not change anymore.
Therefore, if Satan steps on the pink grass now, he will still trigger the "burn mark" lightning penalty.
But even if the lightning strike cannot be reduced to nothing, this authority is very powerful. At least it ensures that Satan will not "die instantly" due to annihilation.
Of course, if the "head-removal" event of lightning and thunder is triggered, the person will still die.
Second, the rebels belong to a hidden new force within the factory, and Satan, as the rebel leader, has all authority over this new force.
What is the use of new forces? What is their significance to the chocolate factory?
Satan has not yet been researched.
However, Satan found himself as the leader of the rebels and now had the power to recruit.
As long as both parties agree, he can develop more rebel members to join his forces.
As for what benefits there are in joining the rebel forces, Satan doesn't know yet...
Third, the rebel forces will have a hidden secret base.
A secret base has three main characteristics: concealment, confidentiality, and security.
However, Satan currently does not know how these three characteristics are manifested. After all, he has not been to the secret base yet.
The above are the three major powers of the rebels.
"Although a lot of intelligence is still unclear, it can be seen from the surface information that it is basically welfare." Coleman murmured in a low voice: "However, there are certainly as many risks as there are benefits."
Even if the terms do not directly describe "risks", just think about the name "rebels" and you will know that they will inevitably become the opposite of the mainstream of the factory.
But none of this matters. There is no such thing as a completely risk-free thing in this world. Joining the rebels will definitely be beneficial to them.
Especially the secret base that was given away for free, it must be a good thing for those of them who need to live broadcast and exchange information.
So, after listening to Satan's story, Coleman and Ice Girl directly chose to become rebels.
"Time is running out. Let's separate for now and go to work separately." Coleman looked at the Ice Girl and said, "When the work is finished, we will find a way to contact you and take you to the secret base."
The Ice Girl nodded and prepared to leave.
But before they parted ways, the Ice Girl whispered, "What if we don't get off work here?"
"Not leaving get off work?" Coleman was stunned and frowned: "There shouldn't be such a black-hearted boss, right?"
The Ice Girl glanced at Coleman, said nothing more, and turned away.
The following live broadcast was entirely about the Ice Girl.
The Ice Girl rushed to the Candle House.
As soon as she entered the candle house, Bingnv vaguely sensed her workstation, and at the same time, various rules of being an employee emerged in her mind.
If these rules are not followed, you will be struck by lightning.
For example, you cannot talk to others casually during working hours. If you talk more than three sentences, it will be regarded as a violation of employee ethics and you will be struck by lightning.
This also explains why the group of cloaked men were unwilling to talk even when their road was blocked.
In addition to the behaviors that need to be paid attention to while working, the employee guidelines also set weekly work targets.
For example, as a frosting worker, Bingnv must complete at least seven full warehouses of chocolate liquid frosting every week. If you complete the weekly target ahead of time, you can move freely even during working hours.
But if the target is not met, you will have to work twelve hours a day.
Yes, this factory was not as dark as Bingnv had imagined. At least there was still time to get off work.
However, when the Ice Girl arrived at her workstation and took on the job of a frosting worker, she discovered that with her current clumsy skills, it would take at least seventeen hours to complete the frosting of a full warehouse of chocolate liquid.
In other words, even though she only works twelve hours a day, she has to work overtime for at least five hours a day to meet her weekly targets...
She understands somewhat now.
With such a black-hearted factory, it is no wonder that "rebel" forces emerge.
……
The live broadcast footage for the next few hours was basically the Ice Girl standing on a huge bucket of chocolate liquid, shaping the frosting.
She was the only one there the whole time, with no other employees.
It’s not that she is the only one in the body shaping workshop, but each space inside the workshop is independent, and other employees are in other spaces.
Above the Ice Girl's workstation, there was an eye the size of a human head, flickering and moving around. But most of the time, its gaze was fixed on the Ice Girl.
It seems to be monitoring this small workstation.
Therefore, although Bingnu was still broadcasting live, she stopped talking.
She said she was worried about being discovered by the surveillance, but in fact, the Ice Girl herself didn't like to talk...
"It's called the Dream Chocolate Factory, but I think it would be more appropriate to change the name to the Black Heart Chocolate Factory." Luigi couldn't help but sigh as he watched the Ice Girl busy at work.
The Ice Girl used to gallop across the snowfields and was the king of the wild area. Who would have thought that she would one day work in a factory.
"It's a bit dark indeed." Angel agreed: "If this is really a secret place, Edward seemed very lucky in comparison."
In the Knight's Castle, although Edward cannot do anything other than being a "makeup artist", at least he doesn't have to work that long.
There is a lot of free time every day.
In this chocolate factory, Bingnv has to work at least seventeen hours a day, which is simply too cruel.
If the weekly targets are not met, different levels of penalties will be imposed according to the amount missing.
If there are a lot missing, direct annihilation-level thunder punishment is possible.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the Ice Girl now has the identity of a rebel, which can reduce the level of thunder punishment.
Even if you encounter annihilation thunder punishment, it can be reduced to collapse thunder punishment.
If the Ice Girl was a little thicker-skinned, she would control the amount of loss every week and lock the thunder penalty at the collapse level. Then, once the weight was reduced, she would only receive a burn-level thunder penalty.
The burns were just painful, and she just had to endure the work, which would allow her to drastically reduce her weekly work hours and have more free time.
"The following are all work scenes, I won't show them, let's just jump to the end of get off work." The water clone spoke at this time.
Angel nodded.
The images on the light screen jumped quickly, and soon it was time to get off work.
The sign of leaving get off work is that the surveillance eye above will close, which means it’s time to work.
After receiving the signal to get off work, Bingnv turned around and left.
Although she didn't complete today's target, it didn't matter, because the thunder punishment wasn't today anyway. Besides, she wasn't really here to work, she had to quickly meet up with Coleman and the others to go to the secret base for follow-up discussions.
After leaving her workstation, the Ice Girl walked through the passage of candles that were about to melt and came to the outside of the candle house.
As soon as the Ice Girl came out, she found two "Snow Girl" employees outside the Candle House, leaning against the candle wall, inhaling candle smoke with an intoxicated look on their faces.
Seeing the Ice Maiden, one of the Snow Maidens asked in a familiar manner, "Are you coming out to rest too?"
The Ice Girl didn't say anything, but just watched them breathe in the candle smoke silently, with confusion in her eyes.
Seeing this, the Snow Girl seemed to understand something and said, "So you are a newcomer? I thought you were an old employee, because only old employees dare to come out to smoke after get off work..."
"So what do new employees usually do?" Bingnv asked after a moment's hesitation.
"The newcomer must be working overtime, otherwise how can he complete the weekly target?" The Snow Girl said nonchalantly.
“Don’t the old employees worry about the weekly quota?”
"I'm worried!" The Snow Girl said as a matter of course, "We'll have to go back and work overtime soon!"
"Then now..."
"You don't have to follow the rules of work after get off work, so come out and breathe some fresh smoke. After you've rested, there won't be any problem going back to work overtime." At this point, the Snow Girl also called out to the Ice Girl: "Why don't you come and breathe some too? Today's candle smoke is rum flavored, and it tastes mellow!"
"No." Bingnv shook her head: "I just came in today and I want to go find my friend..."
The Snow Girl glanced at the Ice Girl, a subtle emotion flashing in her eyes: "You are the same as my friend. I was also sacrificed here with my friend. My friend came to me as soon as he got off work. Unfortunately, because of his choice, he failed to complete the weekly target and was punished by the thunder of collapse."
Having said this, the Snow Girl gestured with her hand horizontally towards her head.
"He had extremely bad luck. The one out of five choices of the Collapse Lightning Penalty just happened to skip over his limbs and hit his head instead. And then he died..."
"So, as someone who has been through this, I advise you to work overtime and stop thinking about your friend."
The Ice Girl was not shaken by the Snow Girl's words.
Rather than inquiring into her friend's affairs, she was actually more curious: "Were you also sacrificed here?"
"Who isn't?" The Snow Girl curled her lips: "Except for that group of guys, ahem, the others are all consciousnesses that were sacrificed here, alas..."
Ice Girl: "Who are those guys?"
The Snow Girl gave the Ice Girl a strange look and said, "You are stupid. I didn't say it because I can't say it!"
