After finishing the face, Neb hurriedly and accurately created the body for Sekai’s statue, her shoulders were covered by hard pieces of armor, akin to what a samurai might wear into battle, but her chest was depicted to be only covered by white cloth wraps.
She had puffy pants and was wearing wooden sandals, on her hips was an exaggeratedly long sword, it looks like a mixture of a nagamaki and a zanbato, with the long handle of the nagamaki and the long blade of the zanbato making the sword disgustingly five meters long.
She was rather tall for a person from the orient, it was probably due to how she grew up in a state of chaos and despair.
Three hours later she was brought to life by a gust of refreshing wind, Neb was very excited to talk to her but her demeanor was kinda like the air, in other words she’s kind of an airhead.
“Huh?Who brought Sekai back to the world?” She wondered cutely as she patted every corner of her body, as if checking for wounds that also included her breasts. These actions made Neb blushed as he stood there looking at this magnificent airhead in front of him.
“Wife, can you be more considerate of your surroundings again? There's a young man over here” Senex appeared behind Sekai, hugged her, then whispered into her ear. Blushing, Sekai instinctively pulled out her sword without breaking a sweat.
“Husband, you know that my ears are my weak spot, please stop doing that.” Biting her lips Sekai scolded Senex but in an instant she was hugging him dearly.
“Damn Old man, hogging up those beauties!” Neb thought to himself as he ate the soup that Asteria made, but for a moment he paused and asked his seniors. “Seniors, where did you get this pot to cook soup? And the clothing I am wearing?”
“Oh that, we stole them from a nearby village” Senex laughed as he point downstream, “I’ll mark it on your map so you won't get lost later”
“Thanks senior, I’ll get working right away to finish the last one” Neb thanked the old man, and started chipping out the large boulder of a rock.
Recalling the memory that Lady Gehirn planted into his mind, he was shocked to see the last person was very muscular and fit, unlike the others where their muscles looked tender, while this person had them very firm and hard.
Neb blushed imagining the figure of Lady Lyn, he was very much into muscular girls, and her face was not of an angel but of a hardened war veteran. Full of scars but at the same time quite tender and loving.
Unlike the other four Neb this time took his time, slowly and carefully, carving all of the creases, the scars, and even the veins that were showing in his memory were carved carefully.
Finally after hours and hours of perfect silence, Neb finished the statue. Sweating from every orifice of his body he smiled brightly, waiting for Lady Lyn to be re-animated to life. But to his dismay his awaited moment had not come.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
‘Young man… Lyn would probably not be here” Senex placed his hand on Neb’s shoulder, his face showing signs of sadness unlike his normal perverted face.
“That's because…” Senex started speaking before pausing dramatically, “She is still alive!” he ended his sentence with a laugh, making Neb drop on the floor out of anticipation.
“She’s a member of an elemental race, so she does not age too much as long as she has elements around her. Remember me saying about a war with lighting giants or something, that was for her, haha good old times!” Senex explained, reminiscing while laughing about what happened in the past.
“You got me there senior, so my job is done?” Neb asked and looked Senex dead in the eye.
“Pretty much! Here’s your reward from me.” the old man handed a book to Neb, then said “if you see Lyn one day, show my book to her, the book also is pretty useful in getting into the walled cities as there is only one copy of this book, and every kingdom around here probably recognizes it”
“Here’s my gift to you” Gehirn presented a small device, it looked like a watch, “ this device lets you store some items in it, but it only has an area of two feet inside, and can at most carry only twenty kilograms. I also included some books regarding mechanical creations, and I had the other three contribute as well, good luck on your journey young man.”
“Thank you very much seniors” Neb bowed ninety-degress as he showed his gratitude to the statues.
“Go on now, we have business to do here” Senex shooed him off, then suddenly for a moment his vision went dark, it was night time already, looking around, he could see statues of five people sitting quietly at the bench old man Senex was sitting on, it was as if they never moved at all.
After looking at the map and memorizing it, Neb logged out to get himself a meal of instant noodles. Neb was so poor that he could only afford a single pack of noodles which cost only one credit point.
But before heading out he drew a simple map in his computer built in paint application, surprisingly his drawing skills on a mouse were top-tier and he produced a map. He created four four variants of the map, one only has the forest that players spawned which is on the left side plus a city in the middle, the next variant had included a lake at the southern area of the city, the third one included a the vast plains on the northern area plus locations of three villages, and the last one included the area on the eastern part of the map which contains all the mountains of the area, and includes most of the villages on the northern area, the river of the forest.
The prices of each map varies, ranging from a thousand credit points up to five thousand credit points, depending on its completeness with the initial map having the lowest price and each map after that increases the price by a thousand points, but the last one costs five times more than the first map.
Going to his city’s game trading hub, he posted “Selling maps for the new virtual dive game, Basic map price 1000 credit points, Expanded map price 2000 credit points, Semi-complete map price 3000 credit points, Complete map price 5000 credit points. Message me if interested.”
Of course to avoid having his customers taken away by people who wants to resell his work, he applied for licensing for his work, which only allows people who bought from him to view it on their pc, and the system stops the buyer to do a screenshot or share it to other people, it is kinda harsh but it works.
Then after a few moments somebody messaged him asking to buy a complete map, so he sent the product to the buyer and his bank account was inflated with five thousand credit points. Then orders started flooding in, most people only wanted to buy the complete map so Neb already earned a lot from those.
Neb also sent a distributable copy to veran saying to distribute them to the gang, Veran happily complied knowing Neb was selling this digital product.
Several hours passed Neb grew tired of doing all of the clicking, so he turned on the program he created a long time ago, it was basically a seller bot which runs on a simple string of logic commands. It starts with does this person want to buy the product? If yes, present the products. If not then ignore. After selecting a product, ask for a confirmation then wait for the credit deposit then send the product. The program would repeat this sequence forever.
