Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic

Chapter 1249: Chapter 701: Qu Tong

No matter which possibility it is, Su Yu can’t verify it for now.

He can only try to find a way into the upper narrative layer and then look for evidence.

For now, he’d better finish the experiment and then take on the "Book of Narrative."

However, although Su Yu already understands the problem lies in having a "name and identity,"

it’s still somewhat difficult to resolve.

After all, Su Yu is not the "protagonist" right now, not even named or identified; he’s just a "walk-on part."

Such a state means he fundamentally lacks narrative existence and cannot create a Book of Narrative of his own.

Whether he is the "protagonist" or not is not for him to decide; it is likely determined by some higher existence.

This situation seems to be somewhat of a dead end.

Thankfully, for someone as powerful as Su Yu, knowing the problem means it won’t be hard to find a solution.

Su Yu begins to search for characters with "narrative existence" to observe them.

He first finds that genius, but instead of direct contact, he uses his hunting instinct and super-quality conversion abilities to carefully sense him.

Su Yu is trying to sense what makes this genius different from other life forms.

At first, there isn’t much of an effect. No matter how Su Yu observes, this genius is just as ordinary as other life forms.

But soon, Su Yu shifts his mindset and begins to search for the unique aspects of this genius from a different angle.

Actually, this genius is not human; his species is vastly different from humans.

The Transcendence Council is a coalition of all civilizations in the Primordial Universe to transcend current dimensions, so this genius is not human but a strangely shaped alien being.

His species was named "Void Pupil" by humans and appears as a gigantic eyeball over ten meters in diameter, naturally possessing anti-gravity capabilities, allowing it to float in the air.

This species has incredibly strong vision, capable of seeing electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, neutrinos, and even quantum probability clouds, with an extremely far-reaching field of view.

This species lived a miserable life when Subspace Evil God Demons were still around, and if they weren’t careful, they would see things they shouldn’t and become twisted and insane monsters.

So, this species usually had their visual nerves forcibly removed at birth by their own people, rendering them blind.

Now without the Evil Gods and Demons, they finally live good lives and can observe as they wish.

Their powerful vision plays a significant role in various scientific researches.

That genius, named "Qu Tong," has the best vision in the entire species and can even vaguely see the super-quality origins of all things, almost resembling Su Yu’s hunting instinct.

Su Yu suspects that Qu Tong might rely on his powerful innate vision to see "narrative existence," which led him to propose the narrative layer theory.

If narrative existence can be observed, then Su Yu should be able to do it too, so he tries to observe Qu Shi to find its special traits.

After all, Qu Tong, as the "protagonist," can create a Book of Narrative, so his narrative existence should be quite substantial.

However, no matter how special this species is, to Su Yu, they are still ordinary life forms with not much difference from humans.

That’s why Su Yu couldn’t find what made Qu Tong different from other life forms before.

From a technical perspective, the physiological structure, group encoding, and innate abilities of this species aren’t particularly extraordinary to Su Yu. He could easily create a machine that replicates this species’ abilities, even far surpassing that genius.

With this mindset and perspective, Su Yu’s observations yield no results.

But now, Su Yu changes his thinking and perspective, earnestly examining the genius’s species.

He faintly senses that this change in perspective is the key!

Sure enough, after critically examining Qu Tong’s species and origins, Su Yu suddenly discovers an indescribable change in the genius named Qu Tong.

It’s elusive, perhaps just an illusion.

But Su Yu is absolutely certain he wouldn’t have such illusions out of nowhere.

This change must exist!

After careful sensing through his powerful hunting instinct, Su Yu finally determines that the existence of the genius known as Qu Tong seems to have increased.

And that increase is precisely the "narrative existence" Su Yu has been painstakingly searching for!

"The narrative existence has intensified?"

"No... it should be said, it’s become more apparent!"

"I see, the key is the mindset and angle of observation!"

Su Yu suddenly realizes.

No matter how he observed before, he couldn’t find the narrative existence in Qu Tong, as if it never existed.

But now, with just a change in mindset and observation angle, differences quickly emerge.

It’s not that there really was a change in Qu Tong, but rather Su Yu himself changed.

Previously, his mindset was from a research and scrutiny perspective, observing and analyzing this alien life form in all aspects such as species, life form, genetic codes, spiritual energy operations, super-quality structures, etc.

This type of observation was incredibly detailed, understanding him better than Qu Tong himself and far surpassing him.

But no amount of detailed observation was useful because the angle and mindset of observation were wrong.

Now, Su Yu has taken the perspective of an "audience," a "reader"!

Yes, precisely as a spectator, a reader of the story.

Su Yu no longer uses the previous scientific perspective to observe and analyze this alien genius but is viewing this genius’s "character design," "story," etc., from a story reader’s perspective.

This method of observation is completely different from before, like night and day.

Previously, the observation was incredibly detailed, with even the number of microscopic particles on him being counted.

The current observation approach, however, is exceedingly superficial, knowing only names, experiences, species history, and so forth.

What’s the use of that?

But it does have a use!

With the shift in mindset, Su Yu also discovers changes in Qu Tong and observes the "narrative existence" on him.

It seems that only when Su Yu changed his angle did this genius Qu Tong truly "have a name and identity."

"Qu Tong is the protagonist, and since he is the protagonist, he needs an audience, a reader."

"And the so-called narrative existence only holds meaning and can be observed from this angle of audience and reader!"

Once Su Yu understands all this, he’s excited within.

This not only indicates that he has found the key to solving the problem.

It also suggests something extremely important, that maybe within the story, he isn’t just some walk-on part, but... an audience, a reader!

"Could it be that I have traversed down from the upper narrative layer?"
