Chapter 76
After learning about the 'Bai Ye Model', Ye Bai continued to learn more about it from Aurora indirectly. The template face and hairstyle chosen were imitated, and there were even many ID imitators, such as Bai Ye 666, Bai Ye, Bai Ye&#, and other IDs with the same existence.
However, this kind of "copycat ID" is also useless. There is no private chat or friend system in Wanjie. The only way to communicate is to send emails. But I think players will not make mistakes when it comes to spending extra game coins.
But after listening to the description of the aurora, Ye Bai suddenly had a new inspiration——
Ye Bai will not tell anyone that he is Bai Ye.
This secret was too big. Even though Aurora was Ye Bai's first friend in the interstellar era and he knew her character after three years of getting along, sometimes a secret that was too big was a burden in itself. Telling Aurora would only put her in a dilemma, forcing her to choose between her friends and her tribe. This was a completely unnecessary and inhumane act.
In this situation, Ye Bai was still struggling with whether to use the fact that he had registered a Wanjie account on Makul Star as an explanation - after all, it would cost gold coins to teleport across different registered places, and it would be difficult to meet normally.
Ye Bai settled in the Fantasy Sea Galaxy and was bound to tell Aurora about her entry into the Ten Thousand Worlds. On the one hand, as an ancient human, she could not find any good job on the Fantasy Sea Star and had to spend a lot of time in the Ten Thousand Worlds; on the other hand, she wanted to learn more about the research results on the Ten Thousand Worlds and spiritual power through Aurora's laboratory.
To meet these two conditions, Ye Bai must openly become one of the "professional players" in the world. The biggest problem is how she can hide Bai Ye's identity.
Because the holographic version of Wanjie can only create one character, StarCraft players have verified that after deleting the guest account, the official account created cannot be deleted and a new account created again even if the level is reset to zero after being killed.
Now, after learning what she had learned from Aurora, Ye Bai suddenly realized that she had overthought it before. With the exposure of Bai Ye's image in the game, all the problems were unexpectedly solved.
As long as Ye Bai changes into ordinary equipment in the game and appears in front of Aurora, and the character's name cannot be seen, who can tell whether she is Bai Ye or a small account using the "Bai Ye model"?
Perhaps the only possible way to verify it is that when Ye Bai was setting up a small account, someone was willing to pay the email fee and sent an email to Bai Ye, so that Ye Bai would be caught - even so, it can be said to be a coincidence.
Ye Bai was now extremely grateful that Territory Wars had devised this unconventional online game communication method. Inspired by a gang leader in a certain online game of dominance who posted a fake obituary to launch a 'surprise attack'*, this design prevented such a situation from happening again. However, it was hard to say whether the investors would ultimately agree to this plan because of the fee for sending emails...
"What you said makes sense, but won't those research tasks be difficult? And there should be a lot of people scrambling to do them, right?" Ye Bai asked Aurora with pretended trepidation.
Ye Bai didn't really want to do the laboratory research tasks. It was not a matter of difficulty, but the fact that the results of this kind of research would definitely require evidence, such as screenshots, providing relevant resources, etc. These aspects could easily put her at risk of being exposed. Moreover, she had a lot of things on her hands, such as managing the territory and various tasks.
Aurora thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine too. You can take the research mission as your goal. If you have the chance, do better. If not, just find a way to earn in-game coins. Our major organizations are constantly acquiring in-game currency. The exchange rate between copper coins and star coins in the Myriad Worlds is 3 to 1, meaning 3 copper coins can be exchanged for 1 star coin."
"Your level will be low at the beginning, but you can still earn 20 copper coins every day. As your level increases, the money you earn every day will increase, which will be enough to support your life in the giant starfish." Aurora explained.
"Then there is absolutely no problem." Ye Bai nodded slowly. This is equivalent to a safe channel to exchange game coins for star coins, but the exchange must be small.
"I've graduated now and I earn more than 1,000 star coins a month in the laboratory. If you're short of funds in the early stages, don't be polite to me." Aurora said confidently.
As a giant starfish with an average income of 400, she is considered a high-income earner.
Aurora is no better now than she was three years ago. When she went to Blue Star three years ago, she was still a student who had not yet graduated. She started her "graduation thesis" with a research fund of 2,000 star coins. The laboratory rent was reimbursed by the college, and funds were allocated to Ye Bai as an experimental subject, and he was paid according to the standard salary.
——Because of the need to maintain the purification costs, for someone like Ye Bai, a salary of 300 star coins for three years is a very good benefit. The salary offered to Ye Bai by Makul Star was even lower, with an annual income of around 80 star coins.
"Don't worry, it's more than enough." Ye Bai smiled and winked at Aurora. "My savings might even be more than yours."
"Hahaha, I guess it's true!" Aurora remembered that Ye Bai received compensation from the Star Alliance. The Star Alliance was rich and powerful, so there would be no omissions in this regard, and he immediately felt relieved.
The next thing to do is to deal with the issue of settling down. Although Aurora invited Ye Bai to live with her, Ye Bai knew that he had too many secrets. Adding a little to the Ten Thousand Worlds would bring about changes in reality. If he was not prepared, there would be a risk of being exposed if he lived with Aurora.
She has no shortage of star coins with a "clear source" now. She will have to rent them sooner or later, so it is better to get it done in one go.
So, while taking a bath, Ye Bai and Aurora checked the rental information of Giant Starfish together.
As one of the most developed civilizations in the Milky Way, the prices on Star Ocean are similar to those on Blue Star, but because of the wormhole and the size of the planet, the cost of living on Star Ocean is much lower.
A single apartment suitable for Ye Bai has a monthly rent of 50 to 80 star coins and is well-equipped. It is much larger and more comfortable than the capsule hotel on Blue Star that costs 8 star coins a night.
In the end, Ye Bai rented a house with a monthly rent of 60 star coins. He completed all the procedures online and would be able to officially move in as soon as he arrived at the house.
At the same time, during this process, Ye Bai also registered a StarNet account 'on the spot' and added her as a friend.
As long as she doesn't actively display the information of [Wanjie/Bai Ye] on the Star Network, no one will know Ye Bai's true identity. Now she adds Aurora as a friend, which is the same as the way she added Xilena and others as her Star Network friends on Makul Star before.
Aurora still had to go online to work. Before the two of them parted ways in reality, Aurora reminded him, "If your birthplace is near Sora City, send me a message. I can come and help you level up after I'm done."
"No problem." Ye Bai agreed, and at the same time he knew that his birthplace must not be in 'Sora City'.
Then Aurora sent Ye Bai a link on Starnet to the staff member of the laboratory who collects game coins: "Although I can help you exchange it, if I'm away for something and you're short of money, you can go directly to her to exchange it."
"Okay." Ye Bai nodded. Of course, he couldn't keep bothering Aurora with this kind of exchange. "I'll register an account later according to... ahem, Bai Ye's model."
"Hahaha, smart choice!"
After the two parted, Ye Bai took the planet's free maglev train directly to the door of the rental house.
What catches the eye is a small house that is somewhat like a shell shape and full of a sense of technology. The outer layer is wrapped in a large bubble similar to a water curtain and is suspended in the air.
It is understood that Phantom Sea is also a planet covered by a large amount of sea water, and Phantom Sea is named after this. The origin of the Phantom Sea people is from the sea. The Phantom Sea people still have the ability to breathe underwater, and their architectural style also follows the former ocean style.
After passing the identity verification, the 'shell' opened its mouth, and a passage stretched out through the bubble, firmly connecting to the spherical maglev train that Ye Bai was riding.
Ye Bai stepped on the passage and passed through the water curtain that formed the bubble. It just looked like water, but it was not actually water, or it had a stronger restraint. After passing through, Ye Bai's body was not wet.
At the same time, the door of the cabin opened automatically and Ye Bai walked in. The house was 23.8 square meters in total, which didn't sound big. But in fact, the various household appliances of this era were extremely simple in design and did not take up any space at all, so there was a lot of space for activities.
Even though he had already conducted a 'holographic house viewing' on his personal terminal before, Ye Baizhen was still a little excited when he entered his first place that could be called 'home' in the interstellar era. He looked left and right, touched things, and explored everywhere with curiosity.
Finally, after drinking a bottle of nutrient solution, Ye Bai sank into a large, translucent, soft bed that looked a bit like a jellyfish cap. He sorted out his real gains:
Arriving safely in the Fantasy Sea Galaxy, his current housing and living issues resolved, his identity temporarily free of risk of exposure, and in the future, through Aurora's connections, he could learn more about psychic powers and gain access to a laboratory on the Fantasy Sea Star through in-game currency exchange...
Thinking of this, Ye Bai suddenly found it a little interesting.
Does this count as me joining the gold-earning group of the next research team of the Fantasy Sea Civilization?
Moreover, if he really wants to exchange it, Ye Bai can only pretend to be a small account and go to Sora City in the Ten Thousand Worlds.
For a maximum of 2 or 3 silver coins, spending a teleportation fee of maybe 3 gold coins is probably the only thing in the entire game...
The gang leader who posted fake obituaries to launch a 'surprise attack'*: I saw the picture, and I don't know if it's a joke or a true story. Specifically, they pretended to be a relative and said that the person had died suddenly, and then launched a surprise attack that night. The degree of shock is also amazing...
