Main God Creation Rules

The sound came from a penguin model that was nearly 2.5 meters tall. Its originally clumsy and bulky body became exceptionally agile under the control of Lei Ji, who was inside it. Occasionally, it would throw a few penguins who tried to cut in line to the back (power enhanced by "hunger"), but most of the time the sniper was observing the surroundings.

Her attire was also quite simple.

Lin Yi: "Since it's called a penguin, it still needs to have a proper corporate culture."

"...If I had known, I would have changed to the cold witch? The scarred rainbow? Yi San."

A little envious, Aria looked away from the penguin. She would rather be inside a 20-centimeter-thick cloth doll than stand here being stared at.

However, compared to Aria's portrayal of the catgirl, her other "signature" role was clearly much easier for her.

Yes, our services are absolutely safe!

"Oh dear, we're still looking for boyfriends."

"A date? Sorry, it seems my shop manager won't let me leave."

……

“...Damn it, that vixen.”

Half unwilling and half ashamed, forced by the many unpaid "debts" on her body (enhancement, weapons, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation), the cat-eared girl could only let out a "meow" sound with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Just then, a figure holding a flyer appeared in front of her.

"Hello, is this place where you can have people do that kind of thing..."

Seeing the unlicensed knight's face flushed and his eyes brimming with excitement, Aria, who had seen many similar expressions in the past half day, subconsciously took a step back.

"Underage, I don't like it, I won't go on a date."

"……what?"

Three minutes later, looking embarrassed, the cat-eared girl brought the unlicensed rider to Lin Yi and hurriedly left to return to her post, leaving the unlicensed rider still looking bewildered.

"You came here because you saw the flyer?"

Lin Yi had to confirm with the unlicensed rider in front of him one last time because of what had happened before.

While sending three unemployed armed detectives out as a billboard to attract attention was quite effective, their outstanding appearance caused a lot of trouble. Most of the people who came were ordinary people asking if they were for sale and how much they were for. Very few people actually came because of the content on the flyers. On the one hand, they simply did not believe that such technology existed, and on the other hand, "Penguin" was a company that was too unknown.

It's like a third-rate company suddenly claiming to have developed space transfer technology; more people would think it's just a publicity stunt than to believe it's real.

Meeting Lin Yi's probing gaze, the unlicensed rider snapped out of his daze and nodded vigorously, saying, "That's right, I want to become a true hero!"

Information Integration Thought System: Chapter 606 Hero Shaping

"I want to become a real hero!"

With this determination, Unlicensed Hero officially became the first person to participate in Lin Yi's "Hero Shaping" program.

"As a hero, a resilient physique is a necessary prerequisite. After all, when ordinary people are threatened by evil, only heroes with strong bodies can provide the necessary protection for the weak. In this regard, I recommend the Soft Gold Battle Body and the Forged Steel Body. Alternatively, if you want to focus more on agility, then the Burning Shell is also a good choice..."

Looking blankly at the large amount of data Lin Yi had presented, the unlicensed hero felt that although he could understand each word individually, he couldn't comprehend it at all when put together.

"Ahem, please choose the one that helps the weak!"

Lin Yi smiled upon hearing this: "I understand."

A series of body modification projects were removed, and Lin Yi took over with another batch, introducing the second modification project to the somewhat dazed Unlicensed Hero.

"Besides a resilient physique, every hero must have a signature skill, or rather, an attack pattern. In this regard, I recommend 'Hunger,' since you might need to utilize Hunger's 'devouring' ability to absorb alien powers to accomplish many things. Of course, Fission Fist is also a good choice, although the sound and visual effects during combat might be a bit... well, over-the-top? But overall, it's acceptable. Or do you have your own preference—"

The unlicensed hero, already somewhat dazed, hurriedly said, "Please give me (one X) spirit 1 seven company V water private nine eight you can push!"

"No problem, so next up is the third renovation project. Regarding the mode of transportation, are you a ground-based or sky-based proponent? Of course, considering the diverse needs of our customers, we've also introduced underground and underwater options—"

……

……

……

Two hours later.

"So, to confirm one last time, Mr. 'Unlicensed Hero' has chosen nineteen modification projects, including Alloy Battle Body, Hunger Cells, and Bio-engineered Armor, right?"

The unlicensed hero, who had completely given up thinking, nodded subconsciously.

"Very well, then please close your eyes—"

Exhausted from the two-hour ordeal, the unlicensed hero offered almost no resistance, following Lin Yi's instructions directly. The moment he closed his eyes, Lin Yi's voice rang out again.

"The transformation is complete."

"that's it?"

"Yes, please pay the renovation fee next. Since you are the first customer since the store opened, we will give you a discount. The total price is 117400000000."

The unlicensed hero, who was taking out his wallet, suddenly stopped.

"Wait, did I mishear?"

"1174."

Lin Yi's tone remained unchanged: "US dollars."

“——————!!!”

His numb brain quickly returned to normal after being hit by this astronomical sum of money, and began to work at the fastest speed the unlicensed hero had ever experienced, with a series of formulas and numbers appearing in his mind.

The exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen is 1:120.

His monthly salary is 20 yen, which is equivalent to US$1666. To pay a bill totaling US$1174 billion, it would take 70468187 days, 2348939 months, or 195744 years, and this would only be assuming no unforeseen circumstances preventing him from working, including but not limited to absences due to illness, social engagements, etc.

Conclusion: Probability of repayment ≈ 0

"crunch~"

The twisting sound coming from the palm caught the attention of the pale-faced unlicensed hero. When he subconsciously looked down, what he saw was a metal bracket being crushed in his palm.

Stunned, the unlicensed hero exerted force with his palm again, and the metal bracket emitted an even more "pitiful" groan before snapping cleanly.

"Add 300 million."

"and many more--"

The calm tone of the "creditor" left the unlicensed hero no time to carefully observe the changes in his body. When he hurriedly got up, the powerful force surging from his body sent him crashing into the ceiling, followed by another flurry of frantic actions.

Five minutes later, the third deformed chair was carefully placed down. The unlicensed hero, whose debt had increased by seventeen million in those five minutes, gave up on continuing to move in this place, which in some ways was even more dangerous than being next to a monster, and instead stood obediently in front of Lin Yi.

"Um... I'm sorry, I don't have that much money!"

The series of events just now is enough to prove the success of the transformation. Naturally, as someone who has gained such powerful strength that truly makes him a hero, the unlicensed hero must also pay a price. Not to mention that this was based on a deal that was accepted by both parties from the beginning. So no matter how terrifying the debt he is facing now is, the unlicensed hero has never thought of relying on other methods to solve it.

"Although I don't know how long I will live, I will do my best to earn money to repay your debt in the rest of my life. I'm so sorry!"

The unlicensed hero, head bowed awaiting his fate, didn't notice Lin Yi's appraising gaze; he simply waited anxiously for the creditor's decision.

A moment of silence,

"You're not bad."

"?"

"The rejection rate is relatively passable, and the fusion of modified organs is also probabilistic. It can't be called excellent, but it should be considered good."

As before, the unlicensed hero still couldn't understand this person who, in his eyes, had risen from a simple "incomprehensible scientist" to an "incomprehensible but great scientist" and also had the dual identity of "a creditor who might not be able to pay off his debts even after working his whole life." But this did not prevent him from feeling excited after hearing the next sentence.

“I will not take back your modifications, and I don’t expect you, with less than three million yen including real estate, to pay off my debts in your lifetime. So I will take back the ‘price’ by having you help me complete the tasks I have assigned.”

He paused for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, it's not the kind of illegal or unethical thing you're imagining. Rather, it's the same as what you want to do, mostly missions to eliminate monsters."

Over the next ten minutes, Lin Yi explained the requirements and conditions of the "mission" to the first batch of "hero-creating" modifiers. He let the latter leave amidst the latter's admiring gaze (probably thinking that Lin Yi was the kind of nameless scientist who silently made contributions to the world). As he was leaving, he seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, if anyone asks where you got your power, you can tell them the truth."

As he said this, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Penguin welcomes any customer with spending power."

Information Integration Thought System: Chapter 607 The Era of National Heroes (1)

What do people in this world lack most?

money?

The wealth brought by the Transmigrators Alliance could buy this world more than ten times over.

entertainment?

The entertainment technology brought by the time travelers was enough to make these natives unable to distinguish between virtual and reality.

After the Transmigrator Alliance made a large-scale entry into this world, many past conflicts disappeared with the passage of time, while those that did not disappear with the passage of time were "resolved" by the transmigrators in a more direct way.

Today, the one thing that people living in this world lack most is security.

Monsters, mutants, heroes… the appearance of these inhuman beings is often marked by the sacrifice of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people. Living in such an era, no normal person feels safe. No one knows if the person next to them will turn into a monster the next second due to emotional repression. No one knows if the cockroaches and insects in the house will become infected and mutate at some point. And no one knows if the heroes who come to eliminate monsters and mutants will consider their own insignificant lives and simply crush them and the monsters and mutants together under the rubble without a word.

People in this era need and crave security, and security is often linked to power—becoming strong makes one a source of unease for others, rather than a source of unease that constantly grows in one's own heart.

In such a historical context, when an organization that claims to empower ordinary people with heroic abilities emerges, everyone is bound to be drawn to it.

The turning point was the emergence of the "unlicensed hero".

Once ranked near the bottom of Class C, this unlicensed hero was no different from an ordinary person except for passing the Hero Association's test and bearing the title of "hero." However, after being involved in the "Hero Shaping" program hosted by "Penguin," he reappeared with strength comparable to that of a Class A hero. Moreover, this assessment was based on his initial unfamiliarity with the sudden surge in power. According to the predictions of many professional heroes, once the unlicensed hero gets used to and masters that surge in power, he will become a genuine Class S hero, and one ranked close to one hundred!

What is a miracle?

This is a miracle.

After the first person to try something new achieved worldwide success, people who had initially scoffed at this so-called "hero-making" plan flocked to "Penguin," while those who initially didn't even know what "Penguin" was went to great lengths to find its existence.

It must be said that the advertising effect Lin Yi gained from completing the transformation of a total of nineteen projects for the unlicensed hero in half a day was better than the actual benefits. After all, according to the mainstream view at the time, such technology simply did not exist in the world. It was a pipe dream to make people believe it with empty words. Only the stubborn type would come and try it with an experimental mentality.

After the first successfully reformed unlicensed hero was put up as a living advertisement, everything that followed was exactly what Lin Yi had expected.

"Demand determines the market. We are facing the world's largest demand and are operating in an industry that is almost monopolistic. If they can still remain calm under these circumstances, I need to reconsider my attitude towards the world."

When faced with questions about the armed investigation, Lin Yi offered only this explanation.

Of course, after securing a sufficient number of customers... or rather, test subjects, Lin Yi didn't intend to modify everyone indiscriminately.

First of all, one event sign is enough. After all, only a few people can survive nineteen modifications at once without experiencing severe rejection. So even if it is a modification, it is only a modification of one or two organ systems.

Of course, given the nature of "famine," even a simple transplant of a mutated cell can grow into a fully formed form as long as it consumes enough energy.

Next comes the selection of modifiers. Transmigrators must be excluded first. However, transmigrators who already have the "Main God Space" are unlikely to be interested in Lin Yi, who is a "native modifier". So far, nothing special has happened.

Next, the elderly, the weak, and the disabled are eliminated, as their fragile bodies cannot withstand the rejection reaction of transplantation.

Another aspect is raising the bar for modification. The astronomical modification price Lin Yi set at the beginning played a significant role in this regard, at least preventing him from wasting all his time on experimental subjects. On the other hand, the more social resources the experimental subjects possessed, the greater the help they received in absorbing alien energy—promoting the growth of "Famine."

After all, people who control a lot of social resources always have many strange ways to make the monsters who have lost their ability to resist mutate and appear in front of them, instead of having to find them one by one like Mumen Rider.

In addition to these, there were all sorts of other miscellaneous conditions. In the end, only a few hundred people were actually able to accept Lin Yi's modifications. After obtaining enough data from these test subjects, Lin Yi temporarily suspended the modification program.

Firstly, more data needs to be obtained from the subsequent performance of these experimental subjects. Secondly, the conflict between the "Resurrectionist Church" and the "Equality Organization" has swept into the Central District, and Lin Yi needs to confirm some things while taking advantage of this lull.

----------segmentation----------

As the conflict between the time travelers intensifies, the storyline of the indigenous people also unfolds roughly according to the "script".

Although the intervention of the Transmigrator Alliance caused some minor events to deviate in time, the protagonist, still with a C-rank ranking, shattered a massive meteorite that even the S-rank Genos couldn't handle with a single punch (according to internal information from the Transmigrator Alliance, the original meteorite in the story was destroyed before it could fall due to the shockwaves from the two interstellar battles; the one that appeared now was simply pulled back to Earth from the asteroid belt by the Transmigrators to avoid changing the plot), continuing his daily life as a hero driven by hobby.

After the giant meteorite event, the next plot development is the arrival of a demon-level disaster—Ocean King.

Unlike typical demon-level disasters, Ocean King is a type with strong individual combat power. Therefore, even when S-class heroes intervened, they were unable to defeat it. Only when the protagonist intervened at the end was it defeated. If that were all, the plot would be no different from before: it would have nothing to do with Lin Yi.

However, as a character who was originally a "minor" in the storyline appeared, he underwent Lin Yi's transformation, which provided Lin Yi with an opportunity to test his ideas.

P.S.: Fourth update

Information Integration Thought System: Chapter 608 The Era of National Heroes (2)

Sea people, deep sea mutants.

These monsters, which came from the deep sea to dominate the land, have humanoid bodies and heads resembling various marine creatures. Among them, the Deep Sea King, the king of the sea people, is only a Demon-level Disaster but possesses the strength to defeat an S-class hero.

Due to the unequal information between the two sides, by the time the Hero Association realized that Deep Sea King's strength was not related to "Demon-level", more than ten A-class heroes had already suffered defeats at Deep Sea King's hands, and even two S-class heroes ranked low were defeated.

Just as the Deep Sea King was marching towards land, stepping over the bodies of the defeated, the hero who could truly defeat the Deep Sea King appeared—S-Class Rank 107, the cyborg Genos.

Unlike the "Sexy Prisoner" (who was the last-ranked S-class hero in the original storyline, and still the last-ranked even after more than 300 transmigrators joined), Genos, as the "disciple" of the main character, was clearly not comparable to those weaklings. After fighting the Deep Sea King for dozens of rounds, the character who was originally in a winning position still followed the "plot" and was defeated by the Ocean King when he was caught out by a weakness in order to protect ordinary people.

After defeating a higher-ranked S-class hero once again, Deep Sea King, who considered himself invincible, began to become arrogant.
