Chapter 187: Adaptations Aren't Random Edits
"Oh? Elaborate."
Stelle crossed her arms, tilting her head, clearly intrigued by Caelus's words.
"I have a plan!"
Caelus first set the time flow ratio between the Simulated Universe and the outside world to 100:1. Then, he put an arm around Stelle's shoulder and explained the system mission.
"Heh heh!"
A slightly moist, warm breath tickled her ear. If it were Bronya, her pretty face would already be flushed crimson, but Stelle showed no reaction at all.
Her sparkling eyes, as if a world-shattering wisdom had flashed through them, immediately brightened.
"Sounds very interesting!"
The current Stelle was no longer the baby who had lost all her memories and lacked even basic common sense when she was first 'born' in the space station.
After experiencing a Trailblaze journey, a period of life on the Express, and the baptism of intergalactic short video platforms, Stelle's common sense rapidly developed.
As a Trailblazer, she had absorbed a lot of basic knowledge, including the fact that the Aeon of the Hunt and the Aeon of Abundance were mortal enemies. In the comment sections of intergalactic short video platforms, Stelle often saw people with IP addresses showing "Xianzhou" arguing vehemently.
It seemed to be Abundance followers and Abominations of Abundance,
Herta had just said this was the Xianzhou Luofu.
Just thinking about releasing R18 doujinshi, novels, and films featuring Yaoshi and Lan on the Xianzhou made Stelle feel incredibly thrilled!
"Alright! Let's do it!"
Stelle-baby thought this idea was coooooooool, becoming impatient,
Her playful side took over.
Although the 'time-stop' series was also very appealing, the thought that Herta and Screwllum might see it made Stelle immediately abandon the idea of doing anything lewd.
She had a sense of shame, after all; at least when no one was around!
But soon, Stelle realized the problem.
"Caelus, can you draw doujinshi? Can you write novels? How do you make animated shorts?"
Ever since that chilly trash can night in Belobog, Stelle-baby had had a new world opened up to her by Caelus. The subsequent continuous strong resonance made Stelle cram knowledge on this topic using websites.
She enjoyed reading doujinshi and short novels featuring cute girls being intimate, but drawing and writing were beyond her skill set; she couldn't do either!
"I can't either, but..."
Caelus rested his chin in his hand, deep in thought. "No big deal."
He wasn't a producer of doujinshi, just an anonymous porter.
He could perfectly well transfer over the Yaoshi and Lan doujinshi he had seen before his transmigration, or use plots and storyboards from other suitable doujinshi, replacing the original protagonists with Yaoshi and Lan. The same applied to animated shorts.
For example, adapting "Maple and Bell" into "Lan and Yao," replacing the male lead with Aha. Adapting "The Fallen Nobleman Ryukawa" into "The Fallen Aeon Beautiful Yaoshi," or "Snow Woman" into "Yao Woman" would all be perfectly fine.
Anyway, for fan creations in the 'underground' community, giving characters third-party settings or making them OOC (out of character) is perfectly normal. As long as the drawing skills are good, the character visuals exquisite enough, and the details fine and alluring enough, with every page and panel at the level of top-tier gacha game characters/PV illustrations in the intergalactic era, Caelus didn't believe no one would watch!
There was only one problem to consider: how to transfer the works from his memory, and how to elevate the production quality to that level.
"Next, we split up. You go find the Punklorde Mentality, and I'll find a place to stay. By the way, did Herta load a local identity template for us?"
"Herta! Herta!"
Ignoring the strange looks from passersby, Caelus shouted loudly at the sky.
"They don't seem to be watching us all the time."
After calling out several times with Caelus and getting no answer, Stelle scratched her head.
"Probably checking the backend."
Caelus looked at the detailed instructions for the time adjustment module again. Once there was a Path energy fluctuation at the level of an Aeon's gaze, the time flow difference would instantly be broken, returning to normal.
In the state of accelerated time, detailed observation from the outside was impossible unless Herta's consciousness entered to observe synchronously.
This was unnecessary.
For Herta, one of the purposes of this research test was to see how long it would take for Stelle and Caelus, in their current state, to attract an Aeon's attention, and to what extent.
Only after Caelus and Stelle attracted an Aeon would Herta's observation truly begin. During the "preparation" phase, there was no need to invest major effort.
"So that means we can play with time-stopping!?" Stelle instantly revealed a surprised expression.
"Hold on, even if they're not watching, the Simulated Universe will record it. Don't ruin my reputation."
After two coughs, Caelus adopted the posture of an old cadre and sternly stopped Stelle.
Although he also wanted to play with the time-stop series, unfortunately, this Simulated Universe wasn't his!
This was like using someone else's phone to browse 'color' websites and being unable to delete the browsing history.
"That's true."
Recalling this point after Caelus's reminder, Stelle visibly grew disheartened, but quickly became spirited again.
"I'll go find the Punklorde Mentality first."
Stelle's eyebrows unfurled, and like a poised raccoon emerging from its den, she bounced out.
Caelus already had a basic idea of how to stir up trouble, so first, he needed to confirm if they had a Xianzhou identity and find a base of operations, as this test wouldn't be short.
"Char, you idiot!"
"Amuro, you too!"
Just as Caelus was walking and thinking, he heard quarreling voices and immediately widened his eyes, turning his head to look.
What's going on?
Isn't this the Luofu?
How did it turn into a Gundam set?
Caelus walked towards the source of the sound. Not only him, but many passersby also stopped, their natural curiosity for a spectacle drawing them forward.
Unfortunately, the two quarreling individuals were not the Char and Amuro Caelus knew; they merely shared the same names by coincidence. Caelus quickly gathered the gist of what had happened after hearing them.
These two had bought some entertainment technology from the Xianzhou to return home in glory, but the waters of the Xianzhou were very deep, and outsiders couldn't navigate them. The result was that each of them was swindled out of half their total assets, only managing to buy some junk.
Then, when the two of them reconciled their accounts, they panicked!
This pair of "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Fledgling" who were left with nothing, after intense discussion, decided that the matter could only be resolved through their civilization's tradition—a duel.
The onlookers, seeing a fight was about to break out, grew incredibly excited.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the world is going to the dogs!"
As an enthusiastic and kind "Five-Good Youth of the Galaxy," Caelus clearly couldn't let things continue this way.
"Stop fighting! You won't kill anyone fighting like this!"
The "Blazing Teens King" began mediating, helping the Xianzhou maintain peace.
Just as Caelus was skillfully beating up the two with his yo-yo amidst the cheers of the crowd, members of the Arbiter Division arrived.
Caelus didn't know what the Arbiter Division was, even its name he learned from passersby, but a slight deduction led him to guess it was likely an organization with police-like functions.
The enthusiastic newcomer, after helping the Arbiter Division resolve a dispute involving Outworlders, Caelus figured out his identity alias within the Simulated Universe.
A very ordinary outsider, referred to as an "Outworlder" on the Xianzhou.
In any case, having an identity alias was good. Using "being lost" as an excuse, he had the Arbiter Division help him find the residence corresponding to his identity alias: an ordinary hotel.
Caelus checked the luggage in the hotel room. "Is this a randomly loaded ordinary person template?"
Never mind, it's not important.
"Let me see if this thing still works."
Caelus took out his phone and opened a specific link. This was a link his 'good son' Wolf-baby (Silver Wolf) had given him to thank her adoptive father, allowing him to use the unrestricted version of models on Silver Wolf's private server.
Allowing Caelus to create various types of intelligent AIs according to his needs.
The result was that it worked, but not completely.
"As expected, it's faster to just contact Wolf-baby directly."
After sending the hotel location to Stelle, Caelus also set off to find the Punklorde Mentality.
Herta said she would load them near the Punklorde Mentality data chain, so the curio shouldn't be too far, and she also provided a tracker.
Taking the loading point as the center, Caelus went in the opposite direction from Stelle. After two hours of walking, he finally found a game cartridge resembling an old SEGA game in a forgotten corner.
Caelus examined the curio cartridge, but he didn't have hacking skills and couldn't figure anything out, so he stopped bothering with the cartridge.
"Wolf-baby, are you there? Are you there? Are you there?"
Caelus shouted loudly at his surroundings, being even more brazen than Ma Di, instantly attracting strange looks from everyone on the street.
Silver Wolf said she would follow him into the Simulated Universe to look for the cartridge; she should be in here, right?
He called out a few times, but no light-blue quantum projection appeared before him. Just as Caelus was pondering while holding the cartridge, his phone suddenly vibrated.
[Duck Wolf: Bro, stop shouting, I'm here.]
[Duck Wolf: But if I show myself, Herta and Screwllum will definitely notice. If we start a data battle, your test will have to end.]
[Bunny Duck D Good Grandfather: Then you should wait, let me finish my test.]
[Duck Wolf: No problem, coincidentally, I'm also a bit interested in your test.]
Caelus typed on his phone:
[Bunny Duck D Good Grandfather: Do me a favor, is there a way for me to use your server inside the Simulated Universe?]
[Duck Wolf: No, with Screwllum's skill level, he could trace it back.]
[Duck Wolf: Then make me a deep AI model.]
[Duck Wolf: That's possible, but I can't provide a computing power source right now. What do you need an AI model for?]
[Bunny Duck D Good Grandfather: Drawing, writing novels, making animated shorts. Just give me the model, I'll handle the computing power myself.]
[Duck Wolf: ?]
Aren't you here to test the Simulated Universe?
Silver Wolf was a bit confused about what her 'good brother' was trying to do, but it didn't matter. Sometimes, the tricks Caelus taught her to pursue Seele were completely incomprehensible but unexpectedly effective.
[Duck Wolf: No problem!]
It was just a model; very simple for her.
[Duck Wolf: I'll give it to you in 3 hours.]
Subsequently, the two disconnected.
Primarily because Silver Wolf said frequent contact carried the risk of Herta discovering them.
After sending a message to Stelle, Caelus returned to the hotel. Stelle came bouncing back, having heard Caelus's plan.
"Using AI to do it? It's a method, but can it really work?"
"It absolutely can."
Looking at the model Silver Wolf had sent to his phone, Caelus raised his hand, and a black and red katana appeared in his grasp.
"I'm going to use the computing power of the Simulated Universe to draw erotic art!"
