"Holy Son, doesn't the Judgment Panel you mentioned also need personnel? It's probably not easy for one person to be fair and impartial, so we should probably need a number of people..."

"There's no need to go through so much trouble, Anna. This is a magic trick you created yourself, how could you not have thought of it?"

Bai Lin pointed meaningfully at the projection floating in front of him. Behind him, Kadenna scratched his head and asked Bai Lin,

"What? I don't understand."

"Stupid, huh? She meant to use this kind of personification as the judging panel."

Phoenix glared at Karna and said mercilessly. She seemed to have swallowed all her previous resentment towards Bai Lin, and there was naturally a little bit of residual anger when she spoke. Bai Lin nodded and continued,

"That's right. Using anthropomorphic personalities to study, analyze, and then coordinate data is completely sufficient to complete the task. We can adjust rationality and emotion to a perfect average, then feed it with a database of historical debate victories and defeats, and quickly cultivate a personality capable of serving as a judge."

"And after we launch this debate project, as you continue to debate, this database will continue to expand. Through her ability to understand and learn about personality, she will become more and more perfect."

The elves present nodded as if they had suddenly understood. But only Mephistopheles maintained her apathetic expression and continued to ask,

"So, what are the specific rules?"

Bai Lin had of course already thought about this. She nodded and began to explain.

Similar to modern debate systems, debaters first take turns presenting their arguments, then reinforcing them. After a round of free debate, a summary is held to determine the winner. This four-round system is considered a relatively fair and comprehensive debate system.

The difference is that for this debate proposed by the elves, only one debater is needed on each side. One person can complete four debates and prepare all the necessary content and materials. Abandoning the traditional teamwork brings simplicity.

Just bring your anthropomorphic personality and start a debate anytime, anywhere. If there's a remote interaction feature, even one person is enough. It's like a modern mobile game: you can play it anywhere, and the main feature is convenience.

"In addition, if the topic is relatively simple, we can also shorten the segments. Or if we want to have multiple debaters, we can also slightly modify the rules to assign the content of each segment to different people."

There is a lot of room for modification!

At this point, Mephistopheles frowned. After thinking for a moment, she said to Bai Lin,

"Holy Son, you should know that we elves are very good at mental exercises. This kind of pure mental exercise is almost stress-free for us; it's too easy. Furthermore, this isn't like a game. Losing carries no burden, and winning only brings the pure pleasure of victory. However, this pleasure is diluted by the ease of the process."

Chapter 633: Killing People All the Time is Boring

There's nothing wrong with what Mephistopheles said. Some people enjoy completely crushing their opponents with their own strength, achieving victory, and finding satisfaction in this way. But the majority of people generally enjoy the back-and-forth that ultimately leads to a successful outcome.

While most people don't enjoy setbacks, games and debates are fundamentally different from the path of life. Tribulations only strain your brain briefly, but the satisfaction you get after victory far outweighs the suffering.

Of course, losing in the end is another matter. But at least, there is a certain level of difficulty, which allows for a struggle and a greater sense of participation in the game.

Bai Lin's brow furrowed even more deeply than Mephistopheles'. As for rewards, she couldn't quite come up with one. Most games gave out experience points and gold coins after victory, which helped improve the game. At the very least, you could buy some fancy decorations that didn't affect the game.

But this is a real game, and the experience gained after the game has been firmly imprinted in your mind. Not everyone will enjoy this actual gain, and the intuitive stimulation of numbers will be more suitable for most people.

"...I can't think of a good idea right now. How about a point system? Winning gives you points, losing gives you points. People with the most points can be put on a shared leaderboard or something. That kind of data sharing shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Bai Lin touched his chin and said this slowly.

Just like a player's rank in a game, this kind of data display is undoubtedly the most intuitive. Although there are no tangible rewards, if the game has a certain influence, then these points will become quite useful. This is not the best strategy, but at least it is a very conservative choice.

"Let's say the elves were to use this kind of debate method against a foreign race that doesn't have anthropomorphic personalities. They could appropriately allocate more or less points to each race, and then let the personalities determine the final score through the course of the debate. That's the general idea, and we'll elaborate on it later."

Having said this, Bai Lin naturally put her hand down, but her pensive eyes did not find any relief at all. Because she had not yet solved the problem of difficulty.

Because the volume and topics were unlimited, the "complex rules" that the elves had previously presented to Bai Lin were not so easy to apply. This also meant that if they wanted to increase the difficulty, they would first have to start with the rules that Bai Lin had originally set.

In fact, these subsequent rule evolutions could have been introduced gradually after the concept of debate was developed. Just like Mahjong has transparent Mahjong, these are variant rules that were added later to the game.

But the problem now was that he had to report to the Queen. How could he claim the highest reward if he only handed in a half-finished product?

Bai Lin pondered over this debate rule, which had been perfected in modern society, and thought about it over and over again. The four elves beside her stood there like idiots, watching her silently. The elves' own interests and hobbies did not provide Bai Lin with much help.

Hey, this kind of mental exercise is what the elves are best at. Why do I have to think about this kind of thing? It makes my head hurt...

Just as Bai Lin began to fall into self-pity, a thunderclap seemed to explode in her mind, instantly wiping out the thoughtful look in her eyes and her frown instantly relaxed.

"I see!"

Her shout startled the four elves present. But Bai Lin did not give any of them a chance to ask further questions and spoke directly to them.

"Boxing, have you ever heard of boxing? Just add this to it."

From the very beginning, Bai Lin fell into a misunderstanding. Elves, unlike humans, have a much higher tolerance for difficulty. A game's difficulty should be considered from the outset, considering the target audience. A Souls-like game would naturally be torturous for completely inexperienced players, but if it were given to seasoned gamers, they might even find it too easy.

Hunting and doing math at the same time was just fun for them, so Bai Lin obviously didn't need to be restrained. Disgusting players? Everyone knows how to do that. Just go for what they're least good at.

While there's no saying that elves aren't good at close combat, those who love it are definitely in the minority. This can be judged from the words of He and the Yaozhua people. When they saw how powerful Bai Lin was, their first reaction was similar surprise.

The opposite of mental exercise is physical exercise. By directly colliding the two extremes, the difficulty level can be increased dramatically. This was Bai Lin's answer. As for why he thought of "boxing" instead of running or swimming, the reason was simple.

In the modern world where Bai Lin originally lived, there existed a special sport called "chessboxing." Playing chess for a certain period of time, followed by a round of boxing, back and forth, could be described as a dual game of intelligence and physical strength.

Fighting sports are more confrontational than simple physical exercises, and they perfectly fit the needs of this type of competition. Bai Lin would be a fool not to copy something that could be copied.

"What??? Boxing?!"

The other three, excluding Mephistopheles, all questioned Bai Lin's words. They didn't seem to question whether boxing was a legitimate sport, but rather they all felt that Bai Lin had a mental problem.

Looking at the puzzled and surprised expressions of the crowd, Bai Lin didn't think too much about it. She waved her hand and said directly,

"It's boxing. After strenuous exercise, when the brain is low on oxygen, mental exercise is extremely difficult. Doesn't this match immediately increase the difficulty? And the constant mental battles make physical recovery relatively difficult. After four rounds, this dual test of mental and physical strength is definitely a challenge for you."

Give up this fight and save your energy for the next debate. You'll have many more strategies to choose from. Allocate your energy and willpower like you would allocate resources in a business game.

"Okay, that's a very good idea. However, we only have a rough idea of ​​what this so-called boxing means. Could you please elaborate on it, Holy Son?"

Mephistopheles clapped his hands happily, and then said this to Bai Lin.

Chapter 634 This needs to be dubbed

Only then did Bai Lin realize that in this era, the sport of boxing might still only have a concept. Even the elves seemed to have no idea what Bai Lin was referring to.

Oh, I'm thinking in a modern way, but I'm a little too distracted.

Bai Lin then carefully explained the professional rules of modern boxing to Mephistopheles, explaining everything from rounds, scores, and referee intervention.

After hearing this, everyone's expressions, though still skeptical, were clearly much more enlightened than before. This project, simply named "debateboxing," took into account and incorporated every aspect of the elves' needs. The overall framework of the entire project was finally finalized at that moment.

The next step is to refine it. With the addition of boxing rules, the duration of each debate round, as well as the number of punches, will need to be adjusted accordingly. The physical fitness of elves is definitely different from that of modern humans, so maintaining a certain average fatigue level for the majority of people will make the debate more compelling.

"Calculating numbers... isn't my strong point. If possible, I'd appreciate your help in finding a solution."

Bai Lin frowned, seemingly having a headache. To improve the details of the rules, Bai Lin had to collect more data, preferably conducting actual experiments to observe, which would take time.

It seems that the covering project still has a long way to go.

Looking at Bai Lin's appearance and listening to her dull words, Anna couldn't help herself. With a stern face and a speechless expression, she said to Bai Lin,

"What are you talking about? You still need to figure out a solution for such a small matter? Are you looking down on us elves? We already have a public database for this kind of basic data calculation. The process is even simpler, and it won't take long to finalize."

"We don't need to do these things, just go do your thing."

Anna's words made Bai Lin slap his head again, and she replied happily,

"I almost forgot. You elves are much smarter than me. But what else do I have to do?"

"Since this is your idea for anthropomorphic personality, it should be your voice. Go directly to the Queen and have them analyze your own sample first, and then add a few words to the voice."

Mephistopheles said this to Bai Lin, who was somewhat confused.

???

Bai Lin immediately had a row of question marks on her head. Why did she have to use her voice to do it? Seeing this situation, Kane shrugged and came over and said,

"Sister, you're not someone who doesn't want to leave your name, are you? Honestly, once this thing of yours comes out, most elves will definitely try it out, and you're the one who configured the default voice system, which is so impressive. Go quickly."

Only then did Bai Lin react. These elves wanted to give Bai Lin a good job. However, Bai Lin was still puzzled. She tilted her head and asked,

"Mephistopheles, didn't you create your persona yourself? Why didn't you do it directly with me instead of asking me to go to the Queen?"

"...Son, my personality is a collection of my everyday voice, so there's absolutely no problem using it on my own. But yours is completely different. While your voice is indeed very pleasant, since it's going to be used in a professional context, it still requires professional sound recording. This way, we can analyze the perfect pitch and achieve voice adaptation in all directions."

After all this talk, Mephistopheles's general meaning was easy to grasp. Bai Lin instantly understood. Wasn't it just about Bai Lin turning on her voice? It wasn't a difficult task, but since she had no experience in dubbing, she definitely needed professional assistance.

"That makes sense. I'll be back soon. After you finish analyzing the data, you can do some internal testing first, or recruit some volunteers to test it. Thanks for your hard work!"

Bai Lin waved his hand and left the place in a hurry. Looking at her figure going away, Anna couldn't help but shook her head helplessly.

"The Son of Mankind...why is he so smart in the most crucial moments, yet so foolish at other times?"

"You don't understand this, Anna. It's called being blissfully ignorant. Only people with humanity can live freely. It's perfectly okay to be less clever unless necessary. If someone is so clever that they can calculate everything in their life, is that person's life really that interesting?"

Kaneko stood beside Anna and said this. Phoenix on the side couldn't help but say,

"Of course we don't understand as much as you do. After all, they are rarely confused. You have always been like an idiot, so you must understand."

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that the two were about to start a quarrel, Phoenix, who was standing a little further away from the crowd, also sighed slowly.

"Indeed, being confused is a good thing. However, some people may not have the right to be confused."

"The Holy Child from humanity is a good person. I sincerely hope that she will not end up in tragedy."

-

Dubbing isn't easy, after all, controlling the emotional atmosphere requires professional training. But it's not that difficult either, because the elves can analyze and calculate the voices themselves, so Bai Lin only needs to put in 50% effort to achieve 100% results.

It was only 50 points, which was very easy for a normal person with clear speech and excellent Mandarin. However, there was another problem. The person the Queen found for Bai Lin had some problems.

"She's a little bit weird, so you have to be patient. You know, among the elves, there aren't many who specialize in dubbing. She's already considered conservative."

The Queen said so. And the truth of what Bai Lin had seen was that he had been tricked into reading a lot of nonsense by professionals arranged by the Queen. Although Bai Lin resisted and rejected much of it due to his own nature, he still read quite a bit.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Bai Lin hadn't expected that this was the first time in her life that she'd been subjected to unspoken industry rules, and it would be under such circumstances. But in reality, it was just a little weird at best, and she could still barely accept it.

Chapter 635 Controlling the Situation

This first dubbing experience is really not good...

Bai Lin rubbed her head with a slight headache and punched back. The recorded sound samples were already fully formed and had been remotely transmitted to Mephistopheles in the form of data. She only needed to return empty-handed.

Speaking of which, the elves' abilities are quite convenient. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all very convenient. It's almost like a postmodern human fantasy... Could all the immortals in this world be like this? Then how can I save the world?

Bai Lin was thinking about this and that, and she felt a pressure on her shoulders again, so she quickened her pace.

When Bai Lin returned to the elves, they had already completed the data calculations and launched simulation tests. Several volunteers were participating in a heated debate.

When she saw Bai Lin coming over, Anna quickly called her over and said,

"You're finally back! Come here! The debate is already halfway through!"

"Hmm? It's done, so what's the big deal?"

Bai Lin replied disapprovingly, or perhaps she was a little confused by Anna's words. Mephistopheles shook his head and said beside Bai Lin,

"Son, this idea was ultimately yours. With your personal participation in evaluating the data samples, this system will naturally be perfected the fastest."

"Yeah, that seems to be the case."

So, Bai Lin stayed here for another afternoon, working diligently for a while. She needed to provide the Queen with a complete project, not just an idea. If she could complete the system as quickly as possible, it would be easier for her to report back.

However, after a day of testing, the system has taken shape. Bai Lin stretched, yawned, and stood up from the ground, saying to the elves around him,

"That's about it. This is basically all I can do. Let's wrap it up. From now on, operations, marketing, and publicity—those things will be up to you guys to figure out. As for R&D direction… you can occasionally introduce some special rules for entertainment purposes as activities. If the user response is good, keep them. If not, just abandon them."

Bai Lin spoke in a formal tone, simply stating his steps, and walked away. Kanena quickly caught up with him, grabbed Bai Lin's hand, and asked hurriedly,

"Where are you going, sister? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm starving, how can you not be anxious to eat?"

Bai Lin replied in a bad mood. To Kaneana, Bai Lin never put on any official airs. Anna stood beside Bai Lin and sighed helplessly.

"Of course we know you're going to dinner, but what after that? I guess you're going to report to the Queen, collect your reward, and leave."

"After all, we're a team, and we worked together to complete this project. Are you saying goodbye to us? Even your ruthlessness has its limits. Holy Son, can you at least have dinner together before you leave?"

Listening to Anna's accusatory words, Bai Lin's head felt a little dizzy. She suddenly woke up and realized that she seemed to be a little anxious because of her mood. But she was also good at being tough. She glanced at Phoenix next to her and immediately pretended to be very helpless. She replied,

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I'm afraid someone won't..."

"Why are you coming after me? I'm telling you, you can't blame me for this. I'm happy to eat this meal with you!"

Phoenix interrupted Bai Lin directly and decisively. She was very rare and expressed her willingness to have dinner with Bai Lin in a strong tone. Bai Lin's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say. Mephistopheles, who was held by Phoenix, also said lightly,

"The Queen will know about our situation. You can just go with us and eat. You don't have to worry about anything."

This is really thoughtful consideration... Bai Lin could only accept it, and agreed to it with a bitter smile.

So, Bai Lin was brought by the four elves to a pond in the forest. Everyone sat down and motioned Bai Lin to sit down as well, leaving her confused but she still sat down. She half-jokingly looked at the empty ground and the pond in front of her and asked,

"What's going on? Are you asking me to starve?"

Mephistopheles didn't even look at Bai Lin, but opened a space door beside him and took out a small box from it. While doing the movements in his hands, he patiently explained to Bai Lin.
