Chapter 86
The news of the "cordial meeting" was accompanied by a screenshot of the game, and this screenshot was not ordinary, it was an obviously deliberate "group photo".
Combined with the racial characteristics of the Dandi civilization, other civilizations who see this screenshot can naturally imagine how this photo was taken.
Although the scene is dim, the background is subtle, and this player from the Dandi civilization is separated from Bai Ye by a barred window...but you can't say whether it is a meeting or a photo?
In the past, Bai Ye's games were all shot from a third-person perspective, and he had never seen her come into contact with any civilization in the game. This time, the Dandi civilization came out on top, which immediately caused quite a stir in the Star Alliance and quickly became one of the hottest cosmic news.
The various speculations that followed made the Dandi civilization a big hit in the Star Alliance under the light of the White Night, attracting a lot of political attention and causing the currency exchange rate of the entire civilization to rise.
If it were any other situation, there wouldn't be such an exaggerated effect. The main reason was that Baiye Town had just completed its upgrade, Ye Bai had demonstrated strong personal strength, and the large quantities of rare blue [Night Clothes] and [Marching Boots] had allowed other players to see that Baiye Town was ahead of all other players' territories in terms of technology.
Not to mention the energy crossbow, which is a strategic weapon. Many civilizations have tried to replicate it not only in reality, but also in all realms.
However, all these replicas ended in failure. The forging and production technology in Wanjie was too primitive for StarCraft players, and it was difficult to find talents who could replicate it. Even if there were such talents, they would not be able to succeed in the end without blueprints.
Through many failed experiments, interstellar scholars can almost confirm that only equipment produced in relevant production buildings according to blueprints, like NPCs, can have attributes, otherwise they are ordinary decorations without attributes.
Therefore, the Dandi Civilization's possession of a potentially ambiguous photo has sparked widespread speculation, such as whether Baiye is interested in collaborating with a certain interstellar civilization within the Myriad Realms. What if they could obtain exclusive or priority access to high-quality equipment produced in Baiye Town?
All of a sudden, the diplomatic departments of many Star Alliance civilizations began to become active.
Ye Bai, the core figure who caused all these changes, set up an automatic sell-off at this time. As long as the upward trend of the Luoyuan exchange rate stopped, he would directly sell off the more than 5 million Luoyuan in his hands.
In fact, such an operation obviously cannot obtain the maximum profit. It is possible that the price will rise again after stopping for a period of time. However, Ye Bai does not have time to stay in the cosmic currency market and watch the data changes to choose the timing. She wants to focus her time and attention on the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Ye Bai knew very well that his accumulation in the Ten Thousand Worlds was the source of the changes in reality. The star coins he unexpectedly earned this time were actually the added value brought by the in-game identity of "Bai Ye".
Moreover, such a good thing cannot be replicated in the short term. The impact brought by the first player town and the mastery of energy weapons is the fundamental reason for such a big impact.
Of course, Ye Bai wouldn't forget her friends when good things happened. She also sent an urgent message to Ji Guang: "Hurry! I just saw the news when I logged off. I bought Luo Yuan, and it's gone up a lot now!"
Emergency messages are messages that can be received in the game, but once the player sees them, he or she can only decide whether to log off or not. There is no way to "bounce" the player out of the game.
At this time, Aurora, who received the urgent message, just found a reason to log off, thinking that something had happened to Ye Bai. Then he was delighted when he saw the news and immediately bought a large amount.
At this time, Luo Yuan was still rising well. Even though he didn't make as much as Ye Bai did when he first bought the bottom, he still made a lot of money.
"Ye Bai, you are so lucky! You will definitely make a lot of money this time!"
Aurora looked back at the time when the news appeared. It was less than ten minutes ago. He felt that Ye Bai went offline at the wrong time. If it was a few hours later, it would be hard to say what the price of Luo Yuan would be. Even if he could make money, he wouldn't make much.
Except for professional traders, ordinary financial managers naturally will not keep up with the relevant news all the time, and this kind of unexpected event is definitely something that professional traders cannot predict. Being able to encounter such an opportunity is like a windfall.
Ye Bai replied: "Haha... I feel like after making this much money, I won't even need to go back to your lab to sell game coins anymore."
"Of course!" Aurora replied while staring at Luo Yuan's increase in value: "If you have enough money, don't sell the game coins. It's more valuable to provide them for your own development first."
"That's what I thought."
Ye Bai showed a satisfied smile. This way, he also solved her "living problem" in Aurora's eyes, letting her know that she had enough money to maintain her life in Fantasy Star and didn't have to think about spending money to transfer gold coins across servers to sell dozens of silver coins, which was a loss-making business.
After dealing with the real-life problems, Ye Bai returned to the mayor's office in the game.
Everything in the territory is developing in an orderly manner according to Ye Bai's plan, and she herself is about to set off to an alchemy main city to complete the second-level mission.
But before leaving, Ye Bai first went to the high-end tailor shop where Dilina worked.
When she opened the door and saw Ye Bai, Dilina, who had been bored, stood up from her chair with a smile in her eyes: "It turns out to be our Lord, welcome to our shop."
"Oh, Master Dilina, you're so polite!" Ye Bai also smiled and looked around at the much more spacious and luxurious high-end tailor shop. "Are you satisfied with the upgraded environment?"
"Not bad." Dilina nodded modestly, then thought of something and reminded, "I saw black gold sheep on the ranch. Black gold wool is a very high-end material, very suitable for making high-end clothing to sell to the nobility."
"That's what I planned." Ye Bai nodded in agreement. In fact, NPCs with high favorability will reveal "strategies" to players in daily chats. It all depends on how carefully you dig.
Dilina laughed again: "So, what brings you here this time, Lord?"
Ye Bai smiled shyly: "You know."
Dilina shook her head helplessly, then turned around and took out an exquisite square wooden box from the cabinet beside her and opened the lid: "Here, it's done."
Inside the square box was a soft, translucent, light-colored cloth, so colorful that it was hard to tell what color it was. It was quite similar to the "colorful black" of the Luozhi fabric.
"Thank you so much!" Ye Bai's eyes lit up and he immediately picked up the equipment.
【Thousand Fantasy Clothes】
Level: Legend
Attribute: Clothing
Style: 1500
Special Effect - Rubbing: You can rub other clothes. Currently, there are (10) pieces of rubbing clothes.
Special Effects - Ever-changing: Through 'rubbing', it can be transformed into the appearance of other clothing below this level.
Description: This garment was made by consuming a large amount of precious spider silk and using some of the Luozhi tribe's craftsmanship. As a result, this garment can change its shape, is elegant and exquisite, and will never go out of style.
Ye Bai's mouth curled up at the first glimpse of the attributes. It was truly the work of a master tailor! Even the exterior clothing had special effects, and the effects were quite practical. It was well worth the effort to create it using eight pieces of precious spider silk dropped from the Spider King BOSS.
Except for clothing that represents the identity of the faction, clothing generally does not have any attributes and is purely for appearance. Clothing of rare or higher grade may have special effects, but they are also reflected in some styling functions. The only attribute of clothing is [Fashion], which can be described as fashion value.
In Wanjie, dressing fashionably can only give you face in front of players, but in the eyes of NPCs, it can make you look rich. Fashion values can sometimes have unexpected effects and can really make NPCs take notice of you in new ways in some situations, especially in business activities.
The price of rare clothing sold to nobles in ordinary high-end stores is at most five or six hundred. Unsurprisingly, the price of this legendary clothing has tripled, and it is not inferior to various formal dresses representing honors that are also legendary clothing.
There is a master tailor in the territory, so Ye Bai naturally would not waste it.
This is the advantage of the lord. Compared with the players who have to work hard to complete tasks or purchase equipment, the abilities of the talents in the territory are equivalent to Ye Bai's own abilities.
Ye Baiqing gave all the high-level materials he had obtained from the BOSS to Dilina. With the 100 loyalty points gained from completing personal tasks, Ye Bai didn't even have to pay any extra fees. He could entrust the other party to make the products as long as he provided the corresponding materials.
Of course, the coverage of this face is limited to the equipment that Ye Bai himself needs. Bulk entrustment is another concept.
Dilina added, "I've already made rubbings of some clothes that I remember for you. Come and try them out."
"good!"
Ye Bai happily put the clothing into her backpack. After equipping it in the [Clothing] column, her appearance suddenly changed into a fitted, soft, silver-white robe with a waist-cinching and long hem. A closer look at the sleeves and back revealed a transparent and flowing texture.
Because it comes from the magic city of Melo, the style of this clothing made by Dilina is more inclined towards the aesthetic of a magician, elegant and intellectual, and also has a dreamy color.
"Well, it looks good." Dilina on the side showed a satisfied look and nodded as she looked.
"It's just so beautiful!" Ye Bai lowered his head to admire it for a while before taking it back and saying goodbye to Dilina. He then went to an ordinary tailor shop to copy a few ordinary clothing variations before leaving the territory quietly.
When Bai Ye changes out of his iconic outfit, it becomes difficult to recognize him as an ordinary person. In addition, the [Thousand Illusion Clothes] makes it convenient so that you don't have to prepare so many appearances. One piece can be used as many as many. The only reasonable drawback is that after changing into other appearances, the fashion value will become the same as those appearances, and it will not be possible to achieve "low-key and luxurious".
After changing the appearance of the Thousand Illusion Clothes into a [Windproof Cloak] that was very common among players and NPCs, Ye Bai arrived at Melo City in just one day.
As she reaches a higher level, her movement speed becomes faster, and she has a lot more stamina than other players to support her, which is completely different from the past.
To complete the level 40 job transfer mission, Ye Bai needs to go to an alchemy main city. Compared to exploring the wilderness by himself, it is of course faster to teleport from the nearest city with a teleportation array.
Within the same 'Blue Star Server', the transfer fee is much lower.
However, after arriving in Melo City, Ye Bai did not teleport directly, but went to the library in the inner city first. After her trip to the God Realm, she accumulated a lot of historical experience, which was enough for her to upgrade to the rank of the deputy position of [Historian].
The Melo City Library was as quiet as ever, with only the occasional rustling of papers.
Compared to the first time, there were now a few players appearing in the library.
The players inside all kept quiet tacitly, moving lightly and not daring to act rashly. Otherwise, before the guards outside could come in, a magician reading a book inside might use magic to make them 'quiet'.
Ye Bai walked through the library floor by floor, looking for his career mentor Anita.
The positions of NPCs in Wanjie are not fixed. They have their own activity tracks. Even professional mentors will only appear in one area, instead of standing at a fixed map coordinate waiting for players. There is even a very small chance that when Ye Bai arrives, the other party happens to be on leave and not in the library.
But obviously, Ye Bai's luck was not so bad. After searching for a while, he found his deputy mentor Anita in a corner.
Sensing someone approaching, Anita raised her head from the papers she was buried in.
After seeing Ye Bai, Anita raised her glasses, narrowed her green eyes behind the lenses slightly, and recognized her student.
“Oh, isn’t this my history student?”
"Yes, Teacher Anita." Ye Bai responded immediately, and then said, "I came to you to improve my history level."
Hearing this, Anita smiled with satisfaction and nodded to Ye Bai in front of her, "Very good, I knew you were a talented child."
You have completed the mission 'Mentor's Expectations'.
Immediately afterwards, a light flashed before Ye Bai's eyes, and the system prompt sounded:
[You have upgraded your secondary job, 'Historian I', to 'Historian II'.]
Anita then took out an item from her pocket and said to Ye Bai, "You will be involved in more on-site historical research in the future. I've used this [Archaeological Magnifying Glass] before, and it's helped me a lot. I'll give it to you now."
"Thank you, teacher." Ye Bai took it, knowing that this was the reward for being promoted to Historian II.
【Archaeological Magnifying Glass】
Level: Rare
Attribute: Archaeological tools
Effect: Increases the chance of obtaining additional historical clues from historical relics and props by 30%.
Description: Archaeology requires three hearts: carefulness, patience, and perseverance.
Anita nodded and encouraged him out of habit: "I hope you can go further on this path in the future."
At the same time, new professional tasks are also refreshed.
[New task 'Mentor's Expectations']
Mission Description: Your instructor hopes that you will make achievements in history learning and improve your professional proficiency in 'Historian II' to 100%.
Mission reward: Upgrade to Historian III; unknown.
However, after the new professional task was refreshed, Ye Bai stood there without leaving, but spoke again:
"Teacher, I still need to improve my history grade."
Anita had already lowered her head and was about to continue reading. When she heard Ye Bai's voice, she didn't react immediately. After a moment, she suddenly raised her head:
"Um??"
