No One wandered around Qiu Yu City.
As he walked, he pondered deeply.
The Immortal Blade renamed this city, surely with some hidden meaning.
The prophecy said it would happen in the City of Azure Flames, so the first thing he did upon awakening was to change the name of this place.
It must be to prevent or at least delay the White Night event.
But then again, the words of the Heavenly Demon In Black weren't wrong.
Qiu Yu City now... has too many foxes.
Beast-eared girls, beast-eared boys, what's this, a whole body covered in fur, is it furry?
He read information online, the typical characteristics of the Yaoguais weren't usually excessive.
【Wild Yaoguai Nature】
【Movement speed increased by 2%. Melee attack speed continuously increases after attacking for more than 3 seconds.】
However, the number of people who like beast ears and tails is still too many.
Looking at those ears and tails, No One suddenly felt nostalgic for an old game he used to play.
This is also why DMG contacted him a few days ago.
They wanted to ask for permission and purchase the rights to a feature that No One had developed.
The movement of animal ears and tails.
In a virtual reality environment, apart from games, there are many things players can create and experiment with if they understand programming.
Last year, when playing a pet game, No One had a bit of "professional standard syndrome"...
He noticed the tail movements of cats and dogs in the game...not good enough.
It's not that it didn't look real. The pets in that game moved based on real-life movements.
But it didn't convey enough emotion.
The animals, when their movements were recorded, didn't truly have those emotions while doing them.
Not every movement needs to be a perfect replica of real life to be good.
The movement mechanics of ears and tails created by Mr.01 are open source. They're available on the virtual reality game resources marketplace.
Basically, anyone can take it and integrate it into their own game.
It's nothing groundbreaking, just something No One made that's useful and time-saving, so many people end up using it.
In reality, they don't need to send money or ask for No One's permission; it's open source. Mentioning his name somewhere in the credits is enough.
It's just that the company wants to show goodwill.
When No One did it back then, he inadvertently made it good enough for many companies to call or write to him to get permission and express some goodwill about using them.
To be honest, something as simple as that can save quite a bit of time and money.
If it's good enough, there's no need to waste money achieving inferior results.
Now, looking at the streets, seeing the movements he created everywhere, there's a bit of pride.
He smiled.
Opened the letter.
【Letter from DMG】
【Thank You Gift Package for Mr.01】
No One mentioned in the letter that he played First World, so they insisted on getting his ID to send this gift package.
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
It's mainly just some commemorative items. However, certain collectors of rare items would really like these.
【This Path I Built Avatar】
【A limited edition avatar exclusive to contributors of First World.】
【DMG Avatar】
【A limited edition avatar featuring the DMG company logo】
【BBQ Party Weapon Appearance】
【A weapon appearance with a BBQ party theme】
【Animal Ear Accessory】
【A headgear so realistic that even the Yaoguais can't tell it's fake!】
【Animal Tail Accessory】
【A waist accessory so realistic that even the Yaoguais can't tell it's fake!】
【Dream of Blooming Flowers】
【A toy item. Upon use, creates an illusion.】
Mostly just playful trinkets, nothing to enhance combat abilities.
However, these two accessories are somewhat interesting.
He's not a yaoguai, yet he can have animal ears and a tail.
No One tried them on.
Wearing them allowed a choice of ears and tails from various animals.
He decided on fox ears and a fox tail.
Later, he would tease his master, claiming he's joined the Yaoguai Fox tribe.
He spun around to test the movements.
The soft, sleek tail swayed behind him, as if it had a life of its own.The movement was very smooth, like a living creature.
Even though No One hadn't done anything to control it.
Let's see, if DMG didn't modify his code then.
No One moved his tongue.
Immediately, the tail moved in response.
No change.
The tail moved independently when not being controlled, but could be self-controlled by moving the tongue inside the mouth.
He playfully tested his new tail.
Not bad, DMG surely did some additional tweaking, but everything was very smooth.
He opened his daily quests.
Today, there was a PVP quest.
He suddenly thought of Snow Moon.
The Divine Druid class in duo or 3v3 battles would certainly be very effective.
He checked to see if she was online, planning to invite her.
.
.
.
Mujou and Heaven's Pride were meeting at the Moonlight Pavilion at that moment.
In one of the most expensive private rooms.
"So, what do you think, old friend?"Could I borrow someone?"
He cheerfully poured a drink for Heaven's Pride.
Today, he arranged to meet Heaven's Pride because he needed someone for a dungeon run.
Black & White's new team planned to use the Divine Druid class.
Given the size of his guild, they still had some people.
However, although the equipment was prepared well, it was not the best.
The class was newly introduced, so there wasn't much equipment available for it.
Even with money, there was no equipment to buy.
In Heaven's Pride's guild, there was a player who had a complete set of equipment for the Divine Druid class.
The efficiency compared to Mujou's guild members was undoubtedly different.
Heaven's Pride drank while pondering.
"What kind of clever scheme is this, buddy? After borrowing my person, when the dungeon is cleared, will the credit go under my guild's name or yours?"
Mujou sighed.
Upon completing the dungeon, the guild's name would be honored, accompanied by rewards for the guild.
However, only one guild in the party would receive the reward, which would be the guild with the most members in that party.
Even if Mujou would assure everyone that it was a collaboration between two guilds, the name recorded, and the rewards would go into only one guild's pocket.
Mujou could not accept allowing Heaven's Pride's guild to take all the honor and rewards just for borrowing one player.
But if he insisted on keeping it, Heaven's Pride would never agree.
Unfortunately, the reward for being the first guild to clear the dungeon couldn't be split 50/50.
So, he compromised.
"Alright then, instead of borrowing someone from your guild, let's say it's a rental."
"Rent for the first boss, and afterward, I'll give you the Divine Tiger Gem."
These words captured Heaven's Pride's attention.The Divine Tiger Gem is a rare item that drops from the Fierce Porcelain Beast.
Calling it "rare" is an understatement.
Ultra rare.
Mythically rare.
For over a year, countless Fierce Porcelain Beasts have been slain.
Only one gem has dropped, and it's stored in Black & White's treasury.
Its use is to exchange for a red equipment at the Rooster King.
The Rooster King is genuinely willing to trade a piece of red equipment for this gem.
The only reason Mujou still keeps it is because of its exchange value.
The red equipment from the Rooster King is locked gear. Once exchanged, it can't be traded.
Exchanging this gem for a favor from two other influential figures is not a bad deal.
Especially since...
"You sure know the right time to play your cards, don't you?"
"You know this gem will decrease in value soon, so you're determined to toss it to me now?" Heaven's Pride grinned.
Mujou gave a wry smile.
Of course, this middle-aged man knew why he was willing to part with the gem.
The red gear from the Chicken King is level 69 equipment.
Now, level 79 has been unlocked. Sooner or later, level 79 equipment will appear.
As new level gear emerges, the value of old level gear will definitely decrease.
【Conqueror of Demon】
【Can be used both as a Staff and a Magic Staff.】
【The weapon of the Conqueror of Demon Monk from years ago who ended the Demonic Path's era and upheld the Heavenly Path.】
【Nemesis of demons.】
【Demon Suppression: Increases damage dealt to demon races by 100%.】
【Invincible Existence: Immune to control effects caused by demons.】
【Boundless Buddhist Teachings: Allies of the holder are immune to control effects caused by demons.】
【These effects only apply to monsters, not players.】
The red equipment from the Rooster King is pre-set. Although it's powerful, it's not suitable for this dungeon.
It's also rather picky about which class can use it.
It is a hard counter to demon-type monsters.
But it's only usable for PVE.
...And ironically, Phantom of the Immortal Blade's demonic states does not count as demon.
If it were a sword, Mujou might have exchanged it a long time ago.
"Alright. It seems you have good intentions. I'll contact someone from my guild tonight to support you."
Mujou cheerfully extended his hand to shake Heaven's Pride's hand.
"Here's to a pleasant partnership."
