Sequence: Waking up in the secret room and letting me play the fortune teller

"March 2079, 1, weather: Red Moon opens its eyes."

"Today is the first month since I took the [Craftsman] sequence potion. At that time, the [Craftsman] sequence potion in the special syringe was injected into my artery through the needle. I knew that from now on I would no longer be considered a human being. Well... you can say I am a new human being..."

"The effect of the potion is obvious. I can clearly feel that my memory and logical thinking ability have greatly improved compared to before, and this increase is still increasing day by day. To be frank, I will become a genius among geniuses!"

"As for work, my brain power is finally able to adapt to the grand project of Cradle. If I was looking up from under this giant tree of logic before, now I am standing high in the sky and can overlook the entire Cradle project."

"The project team members were all very surprised about this, because I was already considered a senior here at that time, so they admired me even more. Unknowingly, I had grown to such a level."

"I lead the members of each module to tackle the problem day after day, making corrections on details and connecting the program logic. I have to say that there are too many things to consider! For example, the various details of the initial room layout, from whether it is reasonable for this style of chair to appear here, to whether the thickness of the dust on the floor is consistent with the actual passage of time. I also have to consider what the experimental subjects will think when they wake up and see these things, and how to guide them to digest the potion as quickly as possible..."

"Speaking of this, we will set up five to seven initial rooms as a group. After waking up from the room, these five to seven sequencers will first pass the small test in their own room, and then gather in a large room to undergo a team test..."

"We have set up thirty-three such groups in total. I call these places the Birthplace. The other day I saw the engineering drawings of the Birthplace. The densely packed rooms inside are connected by various tortuous and deep tunnels. At first glance, it looks like a beehive, and those experimental subjects will wake up in these "beehives"..."

"Then, we set up two large scenes, one is the [underground parking lot], and the other is the [cave]."

"It's like raising a Gu! But I know we are not raising a Gu, we are creating a god."

"When I think of this, I feel like I'm actually an unprecedented game designer, and those experimental subjects are the chosen 'lucky players'!"

"I don't know if it's just out of bad taste, but I also followed the example of those programmers who developed plug-ins and secretly left a small backdoor for myself in the Cradle."

"But until now, the number of these players has not been gathered enough. According to the higher-ups, they need to gather 100,000 people before they can start this great project!"

"Because it takes time to gather 100,000 people, I heard that the institute has extended the timeline for gathering people. They will do everything they can to complete the task. In order to ensure the diversity of the experimental subjects, they will also go deep into various places and industries to conduct 'sampling'!"

"During that period, I often read about missing persons cases in the newspapers, but these cases were eventually left unsolved."

"The test subjects they collected will be placed in a freezing chamber. Then, one day when the project starts, the robotic arm in the freezing chamber will inject the magic potion that has been prepared long ago into their bodies. Then, these test subjects will be transported to a room belonging to this sequence and wake up quietly..."

"I feel inexplicably excited when I think about this!"

"Okay, I'll stop here today. Overall, the progress at work is still impressive. Maybe soon, when I finish my work, I can 'retire' and live a normal life!"

"March 2079, 9, weather: Red Moon opens its eyes."

"It has been nine months since I injected the Artisan potion. With the help of the potion's extraordinary power, I have become more and more adept at handling those programs. Sometimes I can even read through a 5,000-line code in just five minutes, fully understand it without any comments, and then point out the logical errors and areas for improvement."

"Except for the fact that I can't sleep sometimes, the benefits that the [Artisan] series potions have brought me are enormous. The [Cradle] project is progressing faster and faster, and I heard that the 100,000 experimental subjects will be gathered soon!"

"The next few days will be the critical period for our [Cradle] project, because the control programs for [Birthplace] and [Underground Parking Lot] are almost complete. Next, we will start designing the 'new map' of [Cave]!"

"There are still many details to be done, so I'll stop here today!"

"PS: I often dream about strange things when I sleep recently. I don't know if it's the effect of the potion, but I can't care about it now. Hongyue has opened half of his eyes. When he opens them completely, he will come!"

"Hopefully we can catch up! It's just a race against time now!"

"March 2079, 12, weather: Red Moon opens its eyes."

"The comrades in the institute who are responsible for studying sequence advancement recently published a report. They found that any of the thirty-three sequences have a tendency to lean towards the evil side. It is said that they collected many groups of specimens and compiled a lot of data..."

"I've read the report. It clearly states that while those sequence pathways can bring extraordinary powers to people, they can also drive them crazy. There are very few sequencers who can maintain their original intentions and advance all the way..."

"Is this the price of gaining power? Are these thirty-three sequence pathways a way out for humanity or are they just delaying our demise? No one knows the answer to this question."

"According to the leadership's instructions, we need to add a regulatory mechanism to the [Cave]. The fundamental purpose of this mechanism is to suppress the growth of those evil Sequencers who have fallen into madness and help those Sequencers who maintain their original intentions gain an advantageous position."

"This is a very complicated project. We need to take into account a variety of situations and special circumstances. For this purpose, we have specially designed two types of lighting..."

"Although the work is complicated, under my leadership we are still making steady progress day and night. I have to say that the power of the potion is really useful..."

"It's just that I can't smile anymore. It's not that my facial muscles can't remember how to smile, but I don't seem to have the ability to feel happy in my heart..."

"Maybe I'm just too tired from work..."
