Dust Song Pot

While the group was still discussing matters related to Onfaros, the locals had already begun investigating some things based on fan-made videos.

Therefore, there are no longer any locals from Onfaros leading the discussion in the group; only a few people are still discussing it, while most others are busy with their own work.

It was under these circumstances that Barbara and her friends approached Qi Fu.

“My dear Onfaros, what are you going to do?” Barbara asked directly.

"We'll see how it goes," Qi Fu said with a smile.

"What do you mean by 'we'll see'?" Barbara's eyes widened.

"It depends on the situation," Xin Hai said softly.

“Although we don’t know the situation in Onpharos yet, it’s certain that there’s a really big problem with Onpharos. The return of those 30 million eternal lives doesn’t seem like a good thing,” Ayaka Kamisato added.

"Qi Fu, you seem so relaxed now. Do you know what's going on over there?" Ying asked curiously. She knew that as long as Qi Fu took action, there wouldn't be any problems. The fact that he wasn't taking action now meant that the situation wasn't urgent.

“Yes, even if you’re not in a hurry, I want to know about Onpharos. Tell us quickly!” Barbara called out again, even tugging at Zifu’s arm in a coquettish manner.

“Yes, tell us about it. If you’re not in a hurry, I can go and see for myself,” Liu Ying added.

"Liu Ying, you can't get to that place by normal means," Qi Fu said, smiling at Liu Ying.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Liu Ying was full of questions.

Qi Fu did not respond immediately, but looked at the group of women, including Joan of Arc who had come to join in the fun. They had all come because of Onphalus, and seemed to care about the matter.

“Alright, I do know some information about Onfaros, and I can tell you about it, but you have to wait for me to think about how I should explain it. And don’t easily tell anyone what I’m about to say, especially not to the people of Onfaros.” Qi Fu nodded casually.

"Okay!" The women nodded in agreement.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Fu finally decided on the best way to explain Onpharos to the women.

"You've all played games, right? You know, those role-playing games where you experience the life of a character in the game," Qi Fu said.

"Does the Genshin Impact game you brought in from the outside world count?" Paimon raised his hand.

"Of course it counts, it's all about playing a character and experiencing life's storyline!" Qi Fu nodded.

“Then I have some insights to share,” Paimon said smugly, crossing his arms.

"So, what does Onpharos have to do with the game? What about those of us who haven't played it?" Barbara was full of questions. Although she had seen Paimon and the others play Genshin Impact, there were many others like her who felt it was fake and hadn't played it.

"Don't rush, let me finish."

"Since some of you have played the game and some haven't, let me ask you a question. Those of you who have played the game, can you tell me if you felt that the game character was real? And if you haven't played it before, would you consider the game character as yourself?" Qi Fu asked the women.

"Uh!" Qi Fu's question stumped them.

Although they still didn't understand why Qi Fu would ask that question, they still gave their own answers.

"Of course I can! I play the game as if I were myself!" Paimon was the first to raise his hand.

"Fine, Paimon, you really want to be me? How about you be my wife tonight?" Ying said with her arms crossed and a cold snort.

"No, no, Ying, you should do it yourself. My small body can't handle this big thing," Paimon said, immediately waving his hands in fear.

Upon hearing Paimon's words, almost all the women blushed and covered their mouths to laugh.

However, some inexperienced people took it seriously: "Those of us who don't play games can't understand it, so naturally we can't empathize with it. What can we, who don't play, say?" Fu Xuan asked.

"Then it depends on whether you treat them as real people," Qi Fu shrugged.

"So, what exactly do you mean by this, and what does it have to do with Onpharos?" Citrali asked impatiently.

"It's very relevant. Imagine you're playing a game called Onpharos, and you're controlling a character in Onpharos experiencing various things in that world. Bai E, Wan Di, Feng Jin, or Aglaia are just characters in that game. They are destined to face programmed fates, and even their interactions with you, and the emotions between you, are just part of the program."

"Under such conditions, would you still treat them as living, breathing human beings?" Qi Fu asked again.

"Uh, this!" Although Qi Fu still didn't say it explicitly, they all felt that Qi Fu was hinting at something.

“Game…program…living person, Qi Fu, are you trying to say something?” Xin Hai’s brows furrowed.

"Onfaros is a game world?" Fu Xuan's eyes widened in surprise.

"No, but it's certain that they aren't real people, just a bunch of data," Qi Fu shook his head.

"Are you kidding me, honey? If Feng Jin and the others are data, then what is Onpharos? Is it something like a game console? If they really are data, why are they allowed into the group?" Barbara was somewhat incredulous.

"I don't know about that. After all, the people are brought in by the system and the virtual tree, and I haven't explored the interior of Onfaros," Qi Fu shook his head and said.

"Data, data, yes, data. If even Onpharos is data, then this explains why Onpharos can't be found, because they don't exist in reality. And the 30 million times that Laigushi mentioned in today's video can also be explained."

"Moreover, the system doesn't accept Onfaros' currency because it's virtual currency, not real currency," Fu Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Husband, did you only realize this from the video today?" Ayaka Kamisato asked.

"No, do you remember during the last cooking competition, we randomly selected Wan Di from among the judges? Actually, I knew back then that the people of Onfaros were all data people," Qi Fu denied.

"What? You knew back then, why are you only saying it now?" Sitralli's eyes widened.

"I've seen data people before. I once went to a world where there was a planet called the Data Planet, and the people living there were all like that, so why should I point it out?" Qi Fu said speechlessly.

“But the problem now is that Onfaros is no longer just a matter of the data planet! After all, it involves the destroyer god Nanuk…” Xin Hai frowned.

"That's right, so that's why I asked you that question earlier: Do you consider them real people? Are you willing to save people in a game-like world? And how exactly do you view them?"

Qi Fu nodded and then asked the question he really wanted to ask.
