Chapter 54

Yuan Qian is under a lot of pressure at the moment.

After the third character left Xiaoman and completed his "return" - that is, losing his form and self, and sharing the pressure of the Star God with all the dragons in this world - perhaps because the level of contact was high enough, the new options in the character creation interface were finally unlocked.

The unlocked option after the Dragon Clan had its gray mask removed, and the fonts all had a special crystal-clear, shiny look.

Planetary will (split).

Although he was planning to establish a relationship with her and let No. 4 claim the identity of the pink and purple starlight that guarded Xiaoman, Yuan Qian still had an indescribable feeling at this moment.

"... a little closer than I imagined," he described.

[What better way to represent a Star God than with a part of Himself? Although His status is high, it doesn’t prevent Him from being independent and liking business.] said the adjutant.

That's right. In addition to life experience, personal wishes also make up a character's stance. As long as No. 4 has his own ideas, he can take the initiative to approach Xiaoman, and at the same time his views on her are not consistent with those of the Star God himself.

Yuan Qian clicked it.

[Approved. Conditions met.]

After completing one step of the process, he immediately felt that he had established a closer connection with the so-called fellow creature of the huge creature... Although because the Star God was in too poor a state, the thoughts transmitted from the other side were still only those he had heard a long time ago, as if a buzzing insect with flapping wings was placed next to his ear, which was too mentally polluting.

Fortunately, this kind of contact signal is at a level that can be easily ignored if one is not concentrating on the contact, which happens to coincide with the state of Type 4, that is, one can still "hear" it at any time, but can disobey it.

The final version of No. 4 did not change much. It was still the same as the original appearance with some modifications. Her long pink and purple hair was curly and soft, and her facial features were extremely delicate and soft. Her eyes were as sweet as berries on her face as white as a jade sculpture. She looked like a beautiful god born among ancient trees and flowers who loved people.

The voice is the only thing that has not changed so far. It is still the young and slightly hoarse voice that Yuan Qian casually designed. After all, he has already spoken in front of Xiaoman, and it is quite suitable for this appearance.

Afterwards, the original merchant in the origin and the wealth level purchased with emotional value in the subsequent panel were retained, but because of the huge surplus, Yuan Qian thought for a while and added a "Lifetime Honorary Citizen of the Fourth City".

The fourth city is the City of Art, also known as Dinos. Corresponding to the aliases such as bronze, pearl, and ether is crystal.

Anyway, when she first appeared, Elly Ratna said that she would not care about Winchester leaving Dinos. Even if the starting point was that the wealth of a big businessman is related to the political power after reaching a certain scale, since his industry is rooted there, he and his assets cannot be easily moved at will. But it does not prevent Yuan Qian from adding something to deepen the connection between No. 4 and the City of Art.

As a businessman, the last thing he lacks is money, and art is a money-making business. As long as you are willing, what's wrong with having better relationships?

Xiaoman's next stop is this place. It would be a good idea to develop Dinos City into a place where he has a say. Yuan Qian is very sure.

As for the so-called honorary citizens, the real power they enjoy in the Fourth City is essentially that of the new nobility in a different name, but their backgrounds can be varied, including power, wealth, beauty, social skills or artistic qualifications.

The City of Arts opens its doors to residents who take the initiative and possess the above qualifications, and generously welcomes them to participate in this magnificent and chaotic exhibition.

The city lord is always accompanied by messengers holding golden crowns and crystal cups. Anyone who shows enough talent will be greeted by the messenger and awarded the title of honorary citizen.

So in such a place, it is not a problem for a big businessman, with a passion for art, to spend money to earn himself honorary citizenship.

At least Yuan Qian no longer had to be so calculating when it came to the cost of creating the character, but he still kept his age to a minimum of 100 years old.

Number Four's current species has been transformed into a fragment dropped by the Star God, so his lifespan is certainly incomparable to that of the orcs.

But after creating two living history books in succession, Yuan Qian continued to make No. 4 relatively younger in order to avoid aesthetic fatigue.

Theoretically, he could adopt the node from six hundred years ago, or even earlier. However, the Star God's body was on the verge of collapse and it looked like it would fall apart at any time. Therefore, it didn't matter when No. 4 fell.

It's better to be younger, so that there is less involvement in the past, and there is no need to spend so much extra emotional value to fill it. Let "Winchester" be an ordinary rich man who has only appeared and become active in recent years.

After returning the embroidered awning to its original position and covering the last bit of exposed skin with a heavy silver mask and gloves, Yuan Qian looked left and right in the mirror to make sure that his current state looked the same as in his previous appearance.

[Please fill in your name.]

"Isn't it already there?" Yuan Qian wondered.

[Who among these powerful characters uses his real name to travel the world? Xiaoman knows how to use a pseudonym. You shouldn’t be so honest.] The adjutant complained.

“…That’s right.”

Yuan Qian thought for a moment, typed another name in the pop-up input box as No. 4's real name, and clicked OK.

[Character creation completed]

"How are you preparing?" Yuan Qian asked, thinking of No. 5, who also had a high degree of completion.

[I’ve actually finished it a long time ago… but I’ve never performed in front of so many girls before, so I’m a little embarrassed. A little bit. I want to prepare a poetic and gorgeous debut like Odile (the Black Swan)…]

"Your subordinates are no longer considered young ladies at this time. Why are you suddenly acting shy? Those people who were scared to death by your words would die with regret if they knew that the Demon King would be afraid of the stage."

Now Yuan Qian would no longer be fooled by this level of nonsense and complained calmly.

[You are the type who can only attract the pity and protection of cool sisters. You really don’t understand. In front of the person you like, you must have a story and leave a mysterious and special first impression, otherwise you will be reduced to a dispensable category and will be ignored and forgotten and abandoned. So the sense of ceremony is very important. And from the perspective of the story character, gaining a position in the hearts of the audience is also a very serious battle! In summary, I will dress up to attend.]

The adjutant protested vigorously in a long speech.

After another round, it was Yuan Qian who first realized how childish the current conversation was. This situation was just like the two little kids pushing and shoving each other behind the stage in the animation.

"So when are you going to show up?" he asked.

[…It’s not impossible even now. You go first, I’ll follow immediately.]

All right. Yuan Qian thought that at least this time, two characters appeared at the same time, so he didn't have to be schizophrenic. This alone made him happy, so he still had to thank the adjutant for helping him. After all, only those who have played schizophrenia know how difficult it is to be schizophrenic.

A new day begins, and the businessman Winchester, who has already returned to his life in the City of Art, leaves his bedroom.

Yuan Qian sat at the breakfast table, feeling his new physical condition.

Different from the orcs with golden blood and pure dragons used before, although No. 4 is one of the fragments of the Star God, Yuan Qian did not spend much emotional value on its combat power, so its physical fitness and strength level is at most that of a healthy adult. Its only advantage is that it is tough and cannot be killed.

But being healthy is great. Yuan Qian has lived for more than 20 years and is fully capable of being a patient with extremely weak heart disease. He feels extremely satisfied as long as he can breathe smoothly and not feel dizzy or short of breath.

However, even with a simulated appearance, No. 4 was still not a human after all. He did not need to eat at the breakfast table. He just drank a luxurious drink from another world similar to coffee and read the letters quietly.

"An anecdote... Lord Flora was assassinated. At the same time, his brother's tomb was destroyed. This is aimed at the rift between bronze and pearl. Viscount Medell believes..."

The businessman read aloud a column from the tabloid, then laughed dumbly.

He put down the tabloid, pushed aside the pile of fancy things, picked up the bell on the corner of the table and rang it, then asked the housekeeper who came in:

"Still no news from the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, sir." The butler thought for a moment and reported it conveniently.

"'Gray-black hair, blue eyes, tall and thin, about seventeen years old' - those who sought help from the Chamber of Commerce under your name still did not include such a boy or girl. The contestant you were concerned about, Ms. Pan, left the Sixth City on her own yesterday."

The butler felt that his employer's biggest shortcoming was that he was too tightly wrapped and did not require personal service. It had been several years since he was hired, but the butler had never seen his employer's true face, and was unable to gauge his employer's emotional changes through the cloak and mask, which created a particularly big obstacle to his service.

As everyone knows, businessman Winchester seems to have special psychological problems. He has never revealed his true identity and relies on his ID card to prove himself. Therefore, some people have always speculated that the person under the awning has changed several times.

The butler saw that his employer listened to his report, then stood up after a short silence and said:

"I'm going to pick someone up."

"……yes."

With a high salary, the butler only needs to say this and he will prepare things very consciously. Specifically, it includes a comfortable and luxurious carriage for the employer to travel in, and a car full of rich supplies for the guests to be personally welcomed by the employer, ensuring that the guests can wash, change clothes and enjoy delicious food anytime and anywhere. This is the power of wealth.

After all, he had been a lich, and now that he controlled his character himself, Yuan Qian could see at a glance that the protective spell on the carriage still had some flaws.

I can only say that it is indeed a grade for outsiders. No matter how much money you spend, those Mithril Bloods will not give you truly good things. At most, they can make the appearance more intimidating.

He pretended not to know about these loopholes and got on the carriage silently.

Well, this can be used as a stage test for the students... Although the teacher is dead, the test still needs to be taken.
