I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1871 - 1293: You Are Superfluous_3

Even if this ratio were reduced tenfold or a hundredfold, it would not be abandoned. Just like players in a game chasing extreme attributes, ordinary players might think that being short by ten or eight attribute points doesn’t matter much, but players pursuing extremes would never let those few points slip by.

Even when reaching max value, they would attempt to exploit unintended glitches to break through further.

Furthermore, since Zheng Yichen released so many World Tree fruits, in ’Dusk’s’ prediction, those fruits would additionally reduce the resource recovery rate by 16%.

If these resources aren’t recovered, after Dusk initiates the new world epoch, it’s like starting with a 20% discount, which is unacceptable for Dusk.

It’s like the seed of a World Tree; if the World Tree dies and there are multiple seeds, these seeds won’t ’cooperate.’ Instead, they will fight and compete after the World Tree’s demise, leaving only the best seed.

The remaining seeds will all become the sole nourishment.

This matter was decided from the very beginning. Dusk won’t be merciful to any living thing, whether alive or dead; in Dusk’s viewpoint, they are all just quantifiable numbers.

As for the thoughts, hopes, and other such things of these creatures, they are not Dusk’s concern; thoughts are meaningless to Dusk, and hope is not something Dusk can understand or care about.

These factors won’t become resources that Dusk needs.

As for emotions, love and hate, joy and sorrow, those are even less of a concern for Dusk.

Even if in certain worlds, these factors can trigger powerful forces.

In Dusk’s eyes, those forces also remain a part of world resources.

Personal potential? Personal potential as well, even though many people, before their potential erupts, seem just like ordinary people, or even die before it ever manifests.

However, within the Collective World, indeed, those with high personal potential do result from having access to more world resources.

Zheng Yichen could create two identical lives, even with the same growth potential, but if different resources are invested, their ultimate growth heights will differ.

Personal potential is akin to attribute points that cannot be freely distributed.

Some have 9999, while some only have 9.

When you can’t freely decide how to distribute points, it might seem non-existent, but it’s truly there, and whether the power triggered by emotional outbursts can be expressed, all relates to this potential point value.

And there are so many individuals with high potential within the Collective World who live out their lives like ordinary people, which is why all creatures occupy a very high ratio of 1% in resource recovery.

Therefore, recovery is something destined to happen; Dusk will not waste even a single grain of rice on this aspect, nor will it change because Zheng Yichen made significant contributions to Dusk.

The Dusk mercenary group, the Proxy Agent group, in Dusk’s eyes, are all high-level Collectors of integrated resources, explaining this Collector from a humanized perspective.

That would make Collectors like medicinal pills, the Dusk mercenaries are high-level Collectors, but it doesn’t imply only Dusk mercenaries fit this description.

Other strong individuals are the same; they strengthen by acquiring power from the environment, and this process is a form of collecting and integrating world resources.

In more aggressive terms, it’s plundering world resources in exchange for personal growth.

And this practice, in Dusk’s view, is like individuals refining themselves into better ’medicinal pills,’ seamlessly recoverable without needing to shed their shells.

If all beings could plunder the world to the point of collapse, creating a new kind of End, that’s what Dusk would desire.

"If you see recovery as a settlement of accounts, then that’s exactly what it is."

"So, this means there’s no room for negotiation?" Zheng Yichen stood up, intending to flip the table like someone else had directly.

"You can talk."

Tia indicated that Zheng Yichen was special and could be an exception.

"Why?"

Zheng Yichen raised his eyebrow slightly, referring to himself. Why was he the exception when everyone else had to face the outcome of settlement?

Dusk maintained its established good tradition and immediately responded, "To this world, you are ’superfluous,’ you are a Collector, a raider.

But your own growth potential offsets your consumption as a Collector."

"So, my status as a transmigrator is useful at this point?" Zheng Yichen slightly lifted an eyebrow, having once suspected if he came from a world within the Collective World.

After all, there are numerous worlds within the Collective World, both large and small; even the world with the World Tree has extraterrestrial beings, and seemingly not just one extraterrestrial civilization.

Zheng Yichen’s interactions with extraterrestrial civilizations were few, but it didn’t mean there were no extraterrestrials in other worlds, quite the contrary; there are many worlds with extraterrestrial beings.

Many Dusk mercenaries have encountered extraterrestrials.

So, in this Collective World, perhaps somewhere ’Earth’ exists, and he comes from the world within that world.

But later, through Dusk’s confirmation, from the moment he appeared, the first world he contacted was the Misty City World, making it his native world as Dusk confirmed.

Dusk further affirmed that Zheng Yichen, as an ’Outsider,’ is redundant to the world itself.

Moreover, from what Tia indicates, his own potential is quite strong, though Zheng Yichen personally doesn’t feel much in this regard.

After all, before transmigrating, he seemed quite ordinary in every aspect, essentially part of the ’masses’ on Earth.

Zheng Yichen had never concealed this aspect much from Dusk; otherwise, he wouldn’t have sought Dusk for inquiries about ’Earth,’ and shared those novels and such with Tia.

Given Dusk’s omniscient nature to an extent, it’s unlikely it would be unaware of those novels, right?

Therefore, until now, Zheng Yichen has never overly taken his ’transmigrator’ identity seriously.

His extraordinary abilities only ’awakened’ after appearing in Hazy City, and he almost died due to those extraordinary abilities, and in other areas, he didn’t have a system.

And the awareness brought by the transmigrator state is helpful for plagiarism, but its effects on other aspects are just as negligible.

Within the Collective World, there exist ancient worlds, modern worlds, sci-fi worlds, and even various bizarre and abnormal worlds.

The modern understanding transmigrators bring is indeed useful in some worlds, but in many others, it is utterly useless, let alone for someone like him from outside the Collective World.

Even a transmigrator from a native modern world venturing into other ancient worlds, under the premise of being ordinary people, might exert more influence than Zheng Yichen could.

The difference depends largely on luck...

So, the identity of a transmigrator... was it that important before?
