The documents in everyone's hands were like works of art, their noble radiance gleaming beneath the dim lights, impossible to resist.
They were not merely exhaustive guides to creating NPCs, but mysterious tokens representing wealth and power.
Every page was filled with an ultimate pursuit of detail, every line glittering with the shine of money, as if telling of the immense value behind them.
Bukubukuchagama gently set down the document in her hands and looked at Mu Fengyu with piercing eyes. As a veteran educator, although she was not Mu Fengyu's mentor.
She was deeply concerned by his almost obsessive dedication to the game. She spoke solemnly, her tone revealing her concern for Mu Fengyu.
"Feather, I know you have considerable financial resources and are a major shareholder in YGGDRASIL. But do you truly think it is worth paying such a huge price for a virtual world? Perhaps you could consider cutting back on your spending and creating a more ordinary NPC. You could still experience the fun of the game."
Mu Fengyu was about to respond when Bukubukuchagama interrupted him again. She continued.
"Your wealth and status are undoubtedly enviable, but I also hope you will give more thought to real life. After all, money and games can never replace real-life experiences and emotions."
Although Bukubukuchagama's words were filled with criticism and concern, Mu Fengyu could still sense the kindness and care behind them. She was reminding him not to become overly immersed in the virtual world and neglect the importance of real life.
Mu Fengyu smiled faintly. He knew Bukubukuchagama's worries were sincere, but he had his own reasons and convictions as well. Taking a deep breath, he looked steadily at Bukubukuchagama and replied, "Teacher Bukubukuchagama, I understand your concerns very well, but please rest assured. What you are worried about will not happen to me."
He promised Bukubukuchagama that he would control his spending on the game and join Momonga and the others' No-Spending Alliance, allowing his companions to keep watch over him. However, he still insisted on creating his first NPC under the best possible conditions.
Seeing this, everyone knew Mu Fengyu had made up his mind and ultimately agreed to his decision. At that moment, Mu Fengyu turned to Ulbert.
"Ulbert, I remember you should still have two drops of Blood of Calamity, right? Could you lend them to me for now? I'll compensate you with something else."
"Yeah, no problem. I was saving those two drops for when I made an NPC in the future, but using them for you is the same, considering our relationship."
Ulbert nodded in agreement and readily transferred the items to Mu Fengyu. At that moment, Takemikazuchi, one of the guild's main battle faction, slapped the table and drew everyone's attention.
"Quit dragging this out. Let Feather stay behind to make the NPC while we head out. Storm Horn's guild event was such a failure last time. This time, we have to beat their guild until it disbands."
"Exactly. We've even brought out a world-class item this time. If they can hold out at all, they're underestimating the value of world-class items."
The other companions chimed in with similar sentiments. Then Whitebrim spoke timidly.
"What about Peroroncino? He's still being hunted down."
The hall fell silent. Afraid the atmosphere would become too awkward, everyone looked at one another without knowing what to say. Bukubukuchagama spoke indifferently.
"It's fine. Peroroncino is very tough. Everyone should believe in him."
"Let's keep discussing the plan for this operation."
At that moment, Peroroncino narrowly avoided another attack and, in a miserable state, changed direction and continued running. The equipment on his body emitted special effects in a variety of lights.
As though it were saying, "Brothers, this guy's pretty skilled. Keep it up. If I run well, I go home. If I don't, we split up."
To save time, the others set off first to make preparations. Mu Fengyu even took many treasured items from his inventory and gave them to them. In the end, only Mu Fengyu remained behind to complete his work.
In the warehouse, Mu Fengyu took out the Eternal Stone they had seized this time, along with the Blood of Calamity he had borrowed from Ulbert. This special item only dropped three drops when a [World Disaster] was killed, making it exceedingly precious. After all, when a [World Disaster] was killed, the other party would inherit the [World Disaster] class, so players with this class generally would not easily put themselves in danger.
With these two items, only the final step remained in Vier's creation. Half an hour later, Mu Fengyu could not help feeling anxious as he looked at his nearly completed work. He carefully placed the items in his hands into Vier's body. With the infusion of Blood of Calamity, Vier gained the power to resist World Disasters. The Eternal Stone's power allowed her to continuously grow and evolve, never aging and never dying.
Vier's form gradually became clear before Mu Fengyu's eyes. She had long blue hair flowing like a waterfall and dancing gently in the wind. Dressed in a white pleated skirt, she looked like a fairy descended to earth. On her feet were a pair of delicate shoes, revealing her refinement and elegance. Her gaze was languid yet profound, as though she could see through everything, yet she also seemed detached from worldly affairs. She was so unique, so enchanting.
As he looked at his masterpiece, Mu Fengyu's eyes gleamed with satisfaction and pride.
Mu Fengyu placed a hand on her head and gently stroked it as he muttered to himself.
"Absolutely perfect. As expected of an NPC I created. Little Vier, you'd better thank me properly. If I hadn't insisted, Teacher Bukubukuchagama would definitely have said I was wasting resources again, that you weren't worth such a huge investment. Once you can act on your own, you have to pull something big on her."
Next, he began filling in Vier's settings. "Hmm, let me think. Her magic is at an extremely high level, and she has the power to protect her companions. But she is elegant by nature and dislikes conflict, preferring to rest alone in places where no one is around..."
Translated, that meant she specialized in magical damage, was rather lazy and would vanish whenever she had no mission, and liked sleeping in places where no one was around.
However, among the more than twenty pages of information, one inconspicuous line still revealed Mu Fengyu's little scheme.
She respected all Supreme Beings greatly, but was exceptionally hostile toward Bukubukuchagama. She was always thinking about knocking her out from behind, dragging her to an open place and hanging her up, so she would know that Vier was actually very strong and had not let down anyone's expectations.
After completing the settings, Mu Fengyu gave Vier an order.
"That's it. Let's go, Vier. We're going to support the main force."
"Follow command received."
With the order given, Vier set off alongside Mu Fengyu.
