Chapter 149: Official Certification as a Legendary Protagonist, White Fu Rushes Towards the Star Ocean [87k]

The plan of White Fu was going very smoothly. While Digging Maiden and the Calamity Dragon were still complaining, she feigned ignorance and entered the live stream, drinking some of the beverage that the Calamity Dragon had brought out while pretending to be thirsty.

“Hmm, this taste suits me quite well. Where did you buy this drink?”

When a highly realistic game and its popular NPCs drank real-world beverages, it turned into a super classic advertisement.

Was this really how it could be promoted?

The live recording immediately attracted a large number of viewers who admired her. After watching the video, they shared it, causing it to spread rapidly and become a hit.

[This time, Fu Fu has truly become a cyber idol.]

[When will Fu Fu perform singing, dancing, rap, and basketball? Although many big shots have done similar MMDs, I still want to see Fu Fu dance herself.]

In the community, players from the Source Star happily discussed this topic.

The father of the Calamity Dragon, who had gained a lot of exposure, quickly realized this was a good opportunity. Since White Fu liked their beverage, why not set up a production factory in the game?

Then, he would hang the factory under White Fu’s name, with most of the profits going to her. Game currency meant nothing to him; he only cared about the advertising effect she brought.

Naturally, White Fu wouldn’t refuse such a collaboration. All she needed to do was show up, and most of the profit would go straight into her pocket. Afterward, the players would praise her for being beautiful and conscientious, and even slave traders would shed tears when seeing her—

“Damn it, even cyber welfare girls earn money harder than you do. Cyber welfare girls at least need to pose seriously and think about which poses will attract more attention.”

“There you go, this is the power of fame.”

White Fu was very satisfied. She was increasingly glad she didn’t impulsively become a cyber welfare girl at the beginning.

With the Calamity Dragon as an example, more players would surely cooperate with her in the future. Adding her painstakingly built Silent Courtyard, her secret garden was now officially formed. From now on, she just needed to improve her plot involvement and fame to expand her secret garden.

Short on money or experience?

Just dig hard in her secret garden. If she couldn’t find anything, she would scrape it all up, including the roots. She was confident she could dig out something good.

“This is my foundation in the Star Ocean.”

In the bathtub filled with water, White Fu excitedly kicked her legs.

After working hard on quests for half a day, making her back ache and face dirty, she managed to gather enough experience to level up. Exploiting players was different; she only needed to make a few moves, and players would eagerly transfer their hard-earned experience to her. Although one player’s experience was small, the combined experience of many players was massive. Anyone could tell which was better.

White Fu looked up at the wall clock. As the second hand crossed 12, she heard the familiar pleasant prompt sound again.

[Plot participation confirmed (0%…10%…)]

[Current exploration progress in the Source Star is 13.4%]

[Character positioning correction (0%…2%…)]

[Character positioning changed from [Single Main Plot Protagonist of the Source Star] to [Legendary Protagonist of the Source Star]]

[Character setting correction (0%…2%…)]

“Here it comes!”

White Fu stood up abruptly.

She had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. Even though the detailed content hadn’t loaded yet, just seeing the words “legendary protagonist” made her feel like her emotions were reaching a climax.

This description was much more impressive than being the sole true protagonist of xx Star, right?

A few minutes later, the character setting correction reached 100%. White Fu quickly opened the new prompt that appeared.

[Correction 1: Your life intensity and spiritual energy fusion have surpassed the evolutionary threshold, and you have obtained the opportunity for racial evolution]

[1. Ancient Human of the Rebirth Empire]

[2. Titan Subspecies]

[3. Prayer Person]

“Wow, starting off with big upgrades!”

White Fu’s eyes lit up. Having gone through two evolutions, she knew that evolution would significantly boost her strength.

She quickly scanned the brief introductions of the three races.

The Ancient Human of the Rebirth Empire was the most common evolutionary path for Stellar Adapters, with no particular strengths or weaknesses. They belonged to the Balanced Sect.

The Titan Subspecies was once the most widespread human race within the Titan Industries territory, with significant bonuses in endurance and strength. It should be the favorite among physical cultivation professions. Notably, after evolving into a Titan Subspecies, even if they fought against A-rank opponents, there was a high probability of advancing to B-rank due to racial talents.

The Prayer Person was a race with boosts in spiritual energy. This was the most compatible with the current White Fu.

Since she planned to take the spiritual energy route, White Fu decisively chose the Prayer Person. The combination of race and profession was crucial; messing it up could potentially result in a 50% loss of combat power.

[Racial evolution in progress… You completed gene optimization, your race has changed to Prayer Person]

[Race change complete, you gain attribute adjustments—

Strength +11, Agility +11, Constitution +6, Intelligence +10, Spirit +9, Inspiration +18]

[You gain racial trait bonuses—

1. Gain 1 additional Inspiration point every level-up;

2. +5 Health Points per Constitution point, +5 Spirit Energy per Inspiration point;

3. +5% Abnormal Resistance, +5% Damage Reduction from Spirit Energy]

The instant the prompt sounded, White Fu felt a surge of intense pain from deep within her body, accompanied by occasional tingling and itching sensations. She gripped the edge of the bathtub, drenched in sweat. She was glad she had gotten into the bathtub beforehand; otherwise, her clothes, socks, and sheets would have been sticky and difficult to clean.

It took her nearly ten minutes to finally overcome the pain of evolution.

Once the pain subsided, she experienced an unprecedented sense of comfort.

“It’s getting better!”

White Fu was overjoyed. Racial evolution not only boosted her strength but also improved her body proportions, making her look even better, especially noticeable when viewed by others.

This is evolution!

After the evolution ended, White Fu’s attribute panel saw a significant boost.

[Health Points]: 8192/8192

[Spirit Energy]: 7610/7610

[Qi]: 630/630

[Attributes]: Strength 85, Agility 126, Constitution 212, Intelligence 103, Spirit 106, Inspiration 379

Her health points increased by 2000, and her base inspiration rapidly approached 400. As for her base constitution…

White Fu felt that if other NPCs saw her constitution like this, they would surely curse, wondering what kind of monster she was. A normal Spiritual Prayer Mage couldn’t train their attributes to this extent.

To be able to freely allocate points was indeed very satisfying.

Excitedly, White Fu opened the second prompt.

[Correction 2: Talent [Dual True Essences I] has been revised to a unique talent [Dual Moons]]

[Dual True Essences I] was the special talent used to summon Black Fu. After being revised to the unique talent [Dual Moons], the name better fit White Fu’s image. Naturally, the name and skills of a legendary protagonist should reflect their characteristics.

Compared to [Dual True Essences I], [Dual Moons] had significantly enhanced effects. The newly summoned Black Fu inherited 85% of White Fu’s attributes, up from 80%, and the additional attribute bonuses increased from +3 to all attributes to +5, reaching half the effect of Yulia’s Sacred Link.

“This is the advantage of having multiple wings!”

White Fu reflected on this.

From a succubus evolving into a twelve-winged angel, who would dare to fight her then!

White Fu flipped through the third prompt.

[Correction 3: You have mastered the rare skill [Mind Blessing]]

“Huh?”

White Fu was stunned. This wasn’t the prayer card she obtained after finding fragments of the True Essence Pillar; instead, it had turned into a skill.

This added a huge boost to her. Since skills and prayer cards didn’t share cooldown times, it meant she could open her “second phase” twice in a short period if she replenished her magic energy in time from Yulia.

Players had worked hard to survive her first “second phase,” full of anticipation for their revenge, only to suddenly discover that she roared, a white light enveloped her, and she opened another “second phase”…

[I’ll punch you eight times!]

[I’ll punch White Fu? I’d rather go punch the planner who designed this crap monster!]

Just thinking about this scene made White Fu laugh uncontrollably. She couldn’t wait to add more mechanisms to her that would make players and other NPCs break their defenses.

[Correction 4: You have obtained the legendary certification [Card Queen (Source Star) – White Fu]]

So-called legendary certification was something unlocked after reaching a certain level of regional reputation, similar to nicknames like “Great Sage Equaling Heaven Sun Wukong” or “Timely Rain Song Jiang.”

These nicknames weren’t just nice-sounding; they came with additional benefits.

White Fu opened her first legendary certification, [Card Queen]. This certification had two bonuses.

The first bonus increased her card-making efficiency by 50%, which was significant. With this, she could exploit players more proficiently.

The second bonus affected the Silent Courtyard faction she controlled. First, she could issue more quests, and the rewards were significantly increased. Second, players joining the Silent Courtyard faction would enjoy a 2% bonus to their Inspiration attribute. At this stage, this bonus might not seem high, but who would reject extra attributes out of thin air?

Except for players deliberately lowering attributes to trigger defeat CGs, nobody would dislike this bonus.

White Fu was very satisfied with this enhancement.

With this bonus, she could intentionally leak more broth to players while enjoying her meaty feast, which would greatly contribute to recruiting more players to join the Silent Courtyard.

White Fu casually opened the next prompt.

[Correction 5: Character strength positioning changed from [World Boss (Source Star)] to [Common Hidden Boss (Star Ocean)]]

This adjustment made her title sound less intimidating, but it couldn’t be helped. She currently had no plot involvement in the Star Ocean, and her fame was limited to the planets where players were active.

She still had to work hard.

Once she gained more plot exploration, completed more quests, and improved her strength, she could unlock a new legendary certification. She believed this positioning would soon improve.

White Fu, with her player panel, wasn’t worried. As long as she didn’t encounter a super boss immediately after leaving, she had ample confidence to carve out a splendid future in the Star Ocean.

This reinforcement directly strengthened her here, but several subsequent prompts continued to stimulate her nerves.

First were corrections 6, 7, and 8.

[Correction 6: Anya corrected to [Silent Courtyard] [Combat Commander]

[Correction 7: Anya’s template corrected to [Hyperfrequency Mentalist]

[Correction 8: Anya obtained the talent [Luck]

Prompt six was an identity correction and could be ignored, but prompts seven and eight were important.

After a round of wild speculation by players on the Indigo Star, Anya’s identity was firmly tied to her fake role as the Night Sovereign and was recognized by most players as the “Spirit Lord” left behind by her master. Once the game restarted, if players saw Anya’s template change to Hyperfrequency Mentalist, they would be even more convinced of this theory.

“Hyperfrequency Mentalist, and a rare template too. Not bad.”
