Chapter 225 Workings of The Extra Stage
Although Jin was at work, he was notified by the Systee in the Halloween Instance Particularly because he would like to personally watch over the cultivators who entered that stage since that was one of the parts he had added into the first version of the Halloween Instance
The scenario for the Halloween Instance was initially designed to be solely on the island of Halloween Candies with Pyro Jack as the onist of the entire instance However, Jin felt that what the Syste representing Halloween
Perhaps for the Syste more symbolic since it was statistically proven that one quarter of the annual candy sales in the world were from Halloween events Hence, it was a no-brainer why the System decided to choose Candies as the main focus of the theme
However, Jin wanted to show that this was not the case He wanted to show his artistic expression on the festival of the dead spirits Although the root concept of Halloas similar to the Seventh Month Ghost Festival which most Chinese folks continued to participate in, Halloween had turned into so more superficial, which allowed Jin to experiment
He hoped to create an instance to invoke life threatening situations to instil the fear of death which one took so lightly in this relaxed society It was not just for the customers, but also for him to understand death itself, since he himself nearly took a person's life once He wanted to see the instance through the perspective of the System He hoped that it could o through such a horrible experience
Therefore, he eventually created the extra stage for the Halloween Instance His e was to see if the cultivators could overcohts and the insecurities they had In order to create this extra stage, he had employed both Milk and Peppers to consult on the topic of psionicof it Jin could have asked Tiger Princess Yang Ling but he did not want to make his relationshi+p with her any s real for the cultivators, the instance could not use a one-for-all kind of tee For it to be believable, it had to be tailor made to the cultivators to a certain extent However, in order to do that, it would need tens if not hundreds of 'what if' situations for Jin to design which was clearly inefficient So, to s simpler, Jin directly asked the Systeainst those cultivators
Fortunately, the Systereed to Jin's request Whether it did so to further mend their relationshi+p or for its own benefit, one does not know Thus, the System's instance had modifications made by Jin and it was released to the cultivators to participate and play
Of course, Jin was not stupid He knew that people ht develop traumas and such, so he specially asked Milk whether it was too dangerous for cultivators to enter this kind of instance After a deep discussion with Milk, Jin figured it was safe enough to go through it, especially with Milk's healing powers and the Systee the way one perceived the memory if needed Such an ability was bestowed to Milk for her own discretion in assessing the patient when the cultivators finished the instance
Aside fro from the instance, he had also placed a disclaimer about the use of horror scenarios, which could even lead to trau able to enter the Halloween Instance, the cultivators had to give their verbal consent (which was recorded) and acknowledge that they were aware of the risk before entering It was a coery, but Jin created this to protect hi However ed to pass the first stage, thought that the warnings were just part of the experience and that the worst part was over after escaping the sinking plane No one could have predicted, how thoroughly tailor e of Jin´s Halloween Instance would end up being
”Ah, so the ones who joined the extra stage are Se Lang, shi+ Hui and Jia Ying…” Jin took off his Pandula Head (Dracula with Panda Head) and briefly watched the scenes ”Looks like they are unable toto the best of their abilities but it was not exactly working out for the ever for his obstacle He personally cut his orist and left a trail of blood tothe blood trail like Hansel and Gretel's breadcrumbs but more like basic trail markers on the floor beside the mirror to indicate he caed to knohether it was the saain It was a systematic andhis heart up Because in soainst the Gingerbread Knights, while Jia Ying was being tortured by so perceived the illusion that the black silhouettes were shi+ Hui and Se Lang)
