Murphy quite easily “persuaded” two of the more distinctive groups of yers to be the first batch of test subjects for his “targeted cultivation” n.
He was quite proud of this.
This was a judgment he made as a lord after weighing multiple considerations, and he believed his arrangement would most likely be foolproof.
However, this was not all the work Murphy needed toplete this time. So after finishing his conversation with the “war maniac” Porter, he opened a new group on the forum and casually pulled in “assistant Xiao Cui”, who was lurking, setting her as a group administrator.
He said to the novice assistant “Xiao Cui” in a private chat on the forum:
“Can you please act more convincingly? Someone has already privately messaged me asking about your identity. You’re usually quite smart! For things you don’t understand, just don’t actively expose them.”
Assistant Xiao Cui: 【Wuwuwu, I don’t know either. Who knew your little yers were so cunning, making me expose myself in just a few sentences. These little ones are all so knowledgeable, everything they said was in my knowledge blind spots. I just realized for the first time that my knowledge blind spots are so vast, almost like a pitiful illiterate.
But do they have vampire legends on their side too?
I just finished reading the Drac story collection Little Lumina sent me, along with two spirit images called Interview with the Vampire and Van Helsing. I must say, those images portrayed us vampires too ugly! And if Witch Hunters were really that powerful, what ce would vampires have?】Alpha: 【That thing is called a ‘movie’! It’s a form of entertainment on their side. Don’t expose yourself again. Give yourself a character setting as a ‘roleyer’.
If anyone asks you in the future, just say you’re an RP party.
This answer can basically handle 90% of situations. If you’re about to expose yourself, quickly call me.】
Assistant Xiao Cui: 【Oh oh, but why are you so Proficient, little Murphy? You haven’t been in contact with them for long either, right? Howe you seem like an ‘otherworld expert’?
Are you hiding something from me?】
Alpha: 【I indeed haven’t been in contact with them much longer than you, but that spirit storm that almost killed me let my consciousness ‘float’ to their side during the time I was out of body. It’s hard for me to describe that experience to you, it felt like I stayed there for a long time.
But in reality, it was just a few minutes before you saved me.】
Assistant Xiao Cui: 【Death premonition! This is a special state. The moon priests of the Sanghai people are very Master in this aspect. They have an ancient ritual that uses the hyper-sensory state during near-death to make prophecies and explorations.
What do you think, should I try to experience what you did before? I mean, repeat that mistaken spirit ritual you did?】
Alpha: 【Not allowed! If something happens to you, I’d cry to death. How could you bear to leave me alone and helpless in Transia?】
Assistant Xiao Cui: 【You ugly thing, be serious.】
Alpha: 【Where did you learn to talk like this? How much weird stuff did Lumina copy to you? Hey, there’s a cliff abyss in front of you, don’t step into it!】
While the two were “flirting”, the few yers invited into this new group had already started discussing. Murphy adjusted his mindset, then said in the group marked as 【Manufacturing Masters Guild】:
Alpha: 【Hi, manufacturing masters. Little Cui and I represent the test group to solicit your game experience and opinions. You are the main testers for 《Reality Realm》 attempt to expand in the manufacturing function area. Your opinions are very important for improving this game.
So, please speak freely.】
Assistant Xiao Cui: 【That’s right, we in the test group will record your opinions and pass them on to the world weaving masters of the development group.】 ????NО??ê??
Gentle and Elegant Lady Aqua: 【Hahaha, Sister Cui’s description of programmers is really interesting.】
Assistant Xiao Cui: 【Ahem, because I’m an RP party.】
Gentle and Elegant Lady Aqua: 【Oh, I see. No wonder. Roleying, huh? Little Lumina does that sometimes too, all weird and stuff.】
Master Broken de: 【Lady Aqua, I saw that the few apprentices you’re leading have started making suits? Did you teach them?】
Gentle and Elegant Lady Aqua: 【Not suits, they’re formal wear I improved based on Transia’s traditional clothing. They’re work uniforms specifically designed for officials in the administration.
It’s a task assigned to me by Regent Miriam.
Besides work uniforms for officials, I also have to design separate outfits for Transia’s soldiers, officers, and knights.
The workload is huge. Luckily I haven’t lost my old skills. Now besides cooking for the pair of divine beasts at home and my dear husband, I spend all my remaining time on this.
Oh my, life has be busy again. What about you two? I see your cksmith shops are also very lively, hammering and forging all day long.】
Hundred Forging Great Horse: 【Hehe, mainly because we also received manufacturing orders from the Kadman People’s Army. Lord Maxim asked us to design and make officermand swords for the soldiers, and to improve the weapons used by the soldiers. He provided money and materials, with a very sufficient time limit. Most importantly, he doesn’t interfere with our work.
This is awesome, allowing me and my brother to finally work freely with our designs.】
Master Broken de: 【Indeed, indeed. Not only can we freely imitate all kinds of fine des, we can also refer to truly ‘magical realistic weapons’. Yesterday when visiting Miss Femis, I admired her de whip. I have to say, this thing is simply impossible to make in reality. Even if it could be made with special materials, no one would dare to use it.
It’s really a bold and excellent weapon design concept. I really love it here! I heard there’s a vampire weapons vault in the Blood Vulture Halls. I really want to go in and take a look sometime!】
Alpha: 【Hmm, it seems everyone is very satisfied with the manufacturing aspects currently shown in this game?】
Gentle and Elegant Lady Aqua: 【Satisfied? No, no, no. What’s been shown so far is really hard to be satisfied with. I don’t know how many fantastical aesthetic styles the development team has mixed into the game while keeping them non-conflicting, but what I’ve seen so far already makes me very eager to pursue more of the content you’ve hidden away.
You’re so cunning! Development team.
You designed seven aesthetic styles just for the vampire race, right?
The dark splendor of the Blood Vultures, the rustic dominance of Wolfsbane, the hidden luxury of Thorn, the upright magnificence of the Blood Pact. There are still three styles that haven’t been shown yet.
Is your equipment aesthetic design team professionally outsourced?
Which designpany did you use? Tell us, maybe I even know their lead designer.】
Master Broken de: 【Yeah, yeah, you’ve hidden so much! Never mind the rest, can you give us a chance to closely observe those legendary weapons?
Lord Murphy’s Necessary Evil, Lady Tris’s Nocturne, and Guildmaster Natalie’s Watcher. My brother and I are itching to see what’s so special about the top-tier weapons in this game.】
Assistant Xiao Cui: 【Correction! Necessary Evil and Watcher are Miracle Artifacts. They are indeed the continent’s current top-tier weapons, but Lady Tris’s Nocturne Scepter is one Quality level lower than them.
This spirit scepter is the pinnacle of Mortal creations.
To be honest, you don’t need to look at Miracle Artifacts. In the background setting, they are objects forged by deities, and their forging techniques are untraceable.
Even the forging masters of the brass dwarves can’t figure out their principles.
If you really want to exchange techniques, I rmend you try to contact the dwarves. Those small-minded shorties may have rough personalities, but they wee foreign cksmiths.
Especially craftsmen who can bring them unknown techniques. They are very willing to exchange their forging skills for your knowledge.
As for the fabric crafting Lady Aqua excels at, you can try tomunicate with the elves, Sanghai people, and Calum people. These three factions are all extremely skilled in weaving.】
Alpha: 【That’s right, the manufacturing field in this game was designed with great effort. And Lady Aqua, please don’t make such impossible requests, okay?
These are all under agreements and can’t be disclosed.
But if you want to see more vampire aesthetic styles, that can be negotiated. The development team can add another vampire-rted side quest to Transia.
But you all need to help us too.
As you can see, only a few of you are currently advancing the manufacturing project testing, which is far behind the progress we nned for manufacturing testing. So we urgently need craftsmen from various industries to join this test.
The development team wants to use your connections to invite some skilled craftsmen as testers. We will provide a special approval channel.
Of course, it’s best to discern their character and personality, because our game pursues 100% realistic immersion and involvement. Under this basic requirement, if yers with ulterior motives who can’t be controllede in, it’s very easy to cause quite adverse effects on other yers’ game experience.
We didn’t make this request before because we weren’tpletely confident in our own technology and design ideas, so we invited the three of you to experience it first.
Now that all three of you have expressed approval of our work, we can naturally make this request.
Even as a request, there will certainly be rewards.
The development team will provide some physical rewards for the three of you in the game, such as providing you with deeds to the most prosperous area of Crimson Citadel free of charge and helping you establish your own workshops, with autonomous management rights.】
Master Broken de: 【Wow, the development team is so clever, using a few lines of code in the game to entice us to bring people in? Side-eye smile.】
Alpha: 【It’s not as simple as a few lines of code. Although the game’s business system hasn’t been implemented yet, you can see from the gold exchange rates agreed upon by yers that the ‘virtual property’ in our game is quite value-preserving. The development team has this confidence!】
Gentle and Elegant Lady Aqua: 【That’s true. If this game quality can be maintained, I can’t even imagine how much reaction it will cause in the gaming circle and social level when you open beta testing.
This is already a very mature ‘second life’ model. I’m afraid many people will wave bundles of cash just toe in and live another parallel life.
Alright, I’ll take on this request. I’ll send invitations to some of my previous friends, but I can’t guarantee whether they’lle or not.】
Hundred Forging Great Horse: 【Mm-hmm, I’ll send invitations too. But the term ‘craftsmen’ is a bit vague. I want to ask, do cooks count?
And some intangible cultural heritage stuff, like making sugar figurines, or making bows and arrows.】
Alpha: 【They all count! We wee anyone rted to manufacturing. After all, the development team’s goal is to create a 100% otherworld, and the endless variations that can be derived from the 360 trades in an otherworld is also a very interesting sociological observation topic.
Sigh, to be honest with you all, we in the test group also have to submit reports.
So, I’ll have to trouble you all.
Send the list of people you recruit to my or Little Cui’s email. We’ll process the approvals as soon as possible. Oh, right, Brother Broken de and Brother Great Horse, the random quest for you to observe weapons has been written. You can trigger it now when you enter the game.】
Hundred Forging Great Horse: 【Hehe, Brother Alpha is generous. Thank you, Brother Alpha.】
——
“Hmm, another thing settled.”
In Murphy’s office, the vampire lord put down the core bead and exited the forum. He increasingly felt that his little yers were all-powerful “wishingmps”!
No matter what troubles he encountered in governing Transia, they could all be solved by praying to them.
“ording to a certain theory, it only takes at most 6 interpersonal rtionship transmissions for two strangers to make contact. If this theory is true, it means I can obtain all the talents I need through this current recruitment method.”
Murphy stood up and walked to the bookshelf in his office, casually picking up one of Tris’s spirit notebooks and flipping through it. But his mind was not on this book at all.
As he browsed those words, he thought to himself:
“However, we can’t just have professionals. Even in another world, the number of professionals is always scarce, and I can’t send these professionals to the battlefield. That would be too wasteful.
So, ordinary yers need to continue to be recruited, and this aspect will have to rely on ‘promotion and marketing’.
Speaking of which, hasn’t that CG movie by the YouTuber Great Sion been finished yet? The heavy task of recruiting ordinary yers will probably fall on him and Typal.
We can’t keep sending out PY Prince Ah Yuen to wreak havoc at his school, right?
So many students have alreadye in now. They have exams to take, graduations toplete, and jobs to find. Murphy, oh Murphy, you really are a deeply sinful man. If those little kids can’t graduateter, it’ll all be your fault. Tsk, what a sin.”
While Murphy wasmenting here that he was a sinner, in another world, the six brothers of the dormitory were sweating profusely on the basketball court with Niuniu and those sports students. A crowd of other students had gathered around, whispering.
But most of their attention was not on those handsome guys ying basketball. They crowded around Ah Yuen, who was holding a ck helmet.
Some offered cigarettes, some brought water, and others were asking:
“Is the rumor true? Your dormitory made tens of thousands of yuan just by ying gamesst month?”
“Oh my, it’s mainly for fun.”@@novelbin@@
Ah Yuen very pretentiously inadvertently showed off his newly arrived Apple phone, saying:
“Money and all that are secondary. Let’s not talk about money when ying games, how vulgar. But we have indeed determined our life focus for the next period of time.
We’re about to start internships soon, right?
We’ve decided to dig deep into the ‘game testing’ industry. If there can be stable ie, it’s not impossible to do it long-term.”
“666, Brother Yuen, take me with you! I’m a beast at sniping!”
“Choose me, Brother Yuen, I’m a micro-operation master! Ask me how strong my skills are, I’ve been in Zaun for ten years with parents!”
“Yeah, yeah, Brother Ah Yuen, take us brothers to get rich together. Look at how worrying the employment situation is these few years, and I heard the big flu ising. Schools will be locked down and society will be at a standstill. It’s not good to just wait at home doing nothing next, might as well supplement the family ie.
Although I’m average at games, I’m obedient!
Whatever you tell us to do, we’ll do it without question.”
“Emmmm”
Ah Yuen nced at the increasing number of people wearing masks on the field. He hesitated for a moment, then said:
“Alright, let’s make a groupter. I’ll send you the link. But let me be clear upfront, this is everyone’s rice bowl. If anyone dares to shit in it, don’t me us brothers for not giving face.”
“Uh, I understand what you mean, but isn’t your metaphor a bit too disgusting?”
“Pah, how dare you talk to Brother Yuen like that? No manners! This is called being down-to-earth, understand?”
“F**k! You’re already sucking up?”
