Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 12: New Game Launch [Complete]

1450: Regaining Freedom

After repeatedly comparing the chocolate cake card with the chocolate cake on the back seat of the car, Lin Sanjiu felt her chest heating up and a swelling sensation within her. Her palms itched and sweat formed. If her method truly worked, could she be stepping into the ranks of creators?

The logic of her solution was clear and straightforward. No matter how she analyzed it, she couldn't find any faults with the reasoning.

A cake drawn on a card, combined with a written description, had materialized here. Regardless of why it appeared, it was essentially creating a chocolate cake from nothing.

Creating a portion of matter also meant creating some energy. So, if the woman from the Munitions Factory provided the appearance and description of the equipment, couldn't she replicate an identical piece of equipment?

To obtain this equipment, Lin Sanjiu instructed the Artist to use the patch of ground beneath the nearby utility pole as the background. This way, when the item appeared, it would materialize against the established background. She asked the woman seven or eight times until the illustrated object seemed accurate based on the description. Only then did she have the Life Coach write the textual description—after all, her right hand was still held by the Southwind Goose, making it quite inconvenient.

Compared to drawing images out of thin air, writing was much simpler.

By the time the Life Coach finished writing the description, Lin Sanjiu had been waiting under the utility pole for a long time. She received the card, her heart pounding. If the [Energy Dilution Device] really appeared here, the difference between her ability and that of a creator would be almost negligible.

Could her ability really be this powerful?

After a few minutes, it seemed fate had provided an answer—the cement floor remained empty.

"That's strange, there's nothing wrong with the textual description," the Life Coach murmured.

The hope that had sparked within her quickly deflated, leaving a hollow feeling in her chest. Lin Sanjiu's unease grew. After confirming the content with the Munitions Factory communicator, her unease turned into distinct frustration. "Could it be the image? Is that why it didn't appear?" she asked, though she knew the Life Coach didn't have a concrete answer. "Because it doesn't match the original, it didn't appear?"

But that didn't seem plausible.

Using the chocolate cake as an example again—both its appearance and design were the Artist's own creation, without any reference samples, so there was no concept of "matching" or "not matching." If she only needed an image plus a description to create an item, then theoretically, regardless of what the [Energy Dilution Device] from the Munitions Factory actually looked like, she could have the Artist paint one, and she would obtain a corresponding [Energy Dilution Device].

Lin Sanjiu pondered deeply, searching around the utility pole, yet she found nothing. The Artist's attention to detail was very precise; the patch of ground he depicted was unique and unmatched. She had already guessed that she wouldn't get any results before she even started searching.

"Is there any difference between the two?" the Life Coach asked heuristically as Lin Sanjiu returned empty-handed. "Finding the differences might help you understand why only one appeared."

One was edible, and the other wasn't? One was a rare item, and the other was ordinary? Lin Sanjiu dismissed several initial thoughts. She stood by the car window, gazing at the chocolate cake and its card, then suddenly took a sharp breath.

She turned around and called out to the Artist, handing him a new blank card. "Draw a wooden board on the same background; I want to see something."

The Artist took the card and quickly drew a wooden board. Lin Sanjiu kept her eyes fixed on the patch of cement, which remained motionless. However, as soon as she blinked, a wooden board lay quietly on the ground, as if it had always been there.
