412. The daily work of the dog planners and the face pinching system are being officially tested
Lumina had previously seen sensual players on the forums describe the amazing feeling of becoming a vampire from a human in touching text.
According to them, the whole process seems fantastical, but it doesn't have much impact on the personal experience of the game, and the player's consciousness is like watching from a third-party perspective as the body of the psionic projection is reformed.
It not only ensures the game experience, but also increases the sense of substitution.
To put it simply, I watched a CG animation with myself as the protagonist.
But when it was Lumina's turn to perform the functional test of this racial change, it was different, she would be groggy as if she hadn't slept for three days and three nights, and she would be dazed like a patient who had been anesthetized.
She could feel Lady Triss pouring the odd-tasting potion into her mouth.
The slightly bitter potion ran down her throat and was quickly absorbed by her body, but the process was not performed by Madame Trace, but by Master Murphy.
Soon, Lumina came to what others call a "third-party perspective" gesture.
Her consciousness seemed to be out of her body, and she was hovering beside her to watch herself lying on the psionic stone platform slowly "melt", which was not an emotional description, but it was.
The projection of the player belonging to Lumina is manipulated by the fingers of Master Murphy with his eyes closed, and the purest psionic gaze is entwined and intertwined, just like the young players were when they were first summoned to Transnesia.
She became the "light", and that was just the beginning.
After Lumina's projection completely lost its human form, Murphy, who presided over the race change ceremony, activated the race template conversion function in the administrator's system, and was rightfully warned:
[The goal setting is converted to 'Elf Template Moon Elf', the current information collection degree of this template is 20%, and there is no penalty for failure in this operation, but the current information collection degree cannot complete the perfect conversion of the standard Moon Elf, and the goal conversion progress can only enter the incomplete form of 'Half Elf' at most.]
Yes/No to proceed? γ
Murphy ignored the warning.
He looked like the stubborn and restless posture of those children who were just starting to lock the door, looking at the red warning message on the screen, and stubbornly choosing to continue the visit.
Information about the race belonging to the Moon Elves was tumbling in Murphy's mind, extracted from the drop of blood given by Lady Leenia.
It is not just a description of the appearance and physical form of the moon elves, but more of an in-depth study of the psionic qualities of this race.
The little players don't have a physical presence in this world, they are the projections of psionic simulations, so for their projection form, simulating the psionic characteristics of the target race is much more important than simply transforming the shape.
This is also Tracey's previous reminder to Murphy.
Tris could do it without much effort if she only changed the appearance of a small player without changing their racial traits, but the inner transformation of life forms was not something that the Psionic Master could do.
It's not that Tracey isn't powerful enough, but the "unique creatures" of the little player are "unprecedented" in the history of the entire continent.
The fact that there is no reference sample at all makes this "first-mover attempt" dangerous.
"The psionic qualities of the Moon Elves are related to the symbol of the 'Bright Moon', and in addition to the racial talents of the 'Elves', this race also has the unique powers of the very special 'Moonlight Concealment' and the 'Bright Moon Gift'.
There's very little information coming back from Ms. Leania's blood, and I've been able to simulate it to a rudimentary level.
However, combined with the information of the two races of Liania and Adele, it is basically possible to summarize several racial talents common to all elves. β
Murphy narrowed his eyes and began to try to reshape Lumina's physical form according to his understanding of the elven race.
This was the first time he had done the race conversion operation, which was much more difficult than the previous operation of "Psionic Beginnings" on small players to turn them into vampires.
At that time, it seemed that Tracey was at ease when she completed the whole ceremony, and she was really numb when she started to do it.
How is this similar to the feeling of a bear child playing with plasticine for the first time?
It's really a "pinching face"!
"You move lightly! Slow down! Don't be in such a hurry, weaving psionic forms is a job that requires a lot of skill, and you can't manipulate psionic weaving in the same way that you wield a sword. β
Beside Murphy, Trace, who assisted in the ceremony, frowned and reminded:
"It seems that you haven't paid much attention to the manipulation of psionic energy during this time, I can't understand that you are so talented in swordsmanship, and you have inherited some of my power characteristics, but you are so clumsy in psionic energy-related matters.
It's not that you don't understand this!
You can't excuse yourself with ignorance, and it looks like I'm going to have a 'special training' for you next, Murphy. As the leader of a land, you can't afford to have such a glaring weakness in power. β
"But I've worked hard."
With his eyes closed, Murphy awkwardly helped Lumina reshape, and weakly retorted:
"I just learned to summon astral psionic energy to temporarily enhance my summons the other day, and George said that my progress was fast, and the astral wolf claimed to have seen other of its fellow wolves summoned by the summoner.
It boasted that no Astral Wolf had ever been treated so favorably.
I think I'm a good summoner, and you can't denigrate my dedication to summoning like that."
"Oh, so you've lowered your demands on yourself to the point of enjoying the appreciation of your flattering summons for your gibberish?"
Tracey played with the Serenade Scepter and said disdainfully:
"Not to mention George's pitiful rank of 'head wolf', and you actually believe what he says as a wild beast with little knowledge?
Would you like to compare your progress with that of your apprentice in the way of calling?
Although he was unable to summon more astral creatures due to the oppression of the manticore, it only took him a little more than a month to deepen the psionic connection between himself and the manticore, far beyond the psionic bond between you and George.
From this point of view, your disciples are much better than you.
Murphy!
Burnout is burnout.
I can understand that you may not be interested in the mysteries of psionic energy, or even wary, but that is no reason for you to deliberately create weaknesses for yourself by spending all your time training in swordsmanship.
I don't care!
Starting tonight, I want you to take the time to receive my psionic training, and at the very least, raise your strength at the summoning and psionic level to the same level as your swordsmanship! β
"Alas"
Murphy sighed.
The posture of the handsome vampire lord at this time has changed from a child hiding in the room to a bear child who is called a parent by the teacher because of his bad grades.
He said he was a dog.
I knew that I shouldn't have borrowed the psionic codex from the eldest lady in the first place, and learning from Kudell and Maxim to specialize in physics was not a ladder to power.
This compound class sounds cool, but in fact, two very different paths of power mean that Murphy will need to work twice or even twice as hard as the average person to push both classes to the level of "mastery".
"Focus! You need to focus now. β
Tracy was immediately outraged when she saw Murphy's resistance, and she reached out and patted Murphy on the back of the head to keep him focused on the psionic reshaping ritual in front of her.
But in fact, this process is automatically carried out by the administrator system, and Murphy only takes on the role of psionic provider and cooperates with a little spell casting.
The 20% success rate dooms this thing not to be so smooth.
Lumina's new body was quickly assembled, and the Moon Elves were modeled after Lady Leania, creating a larger and slender body than a human woman, and then "fine-tuning" the limbs and the main torso, which in Murphy's perception was like a process of "3D psionic printing".
It's not just about the outward appearance, it's about the inner transformation.
Things went well when it got to this point, but then it got troublesome.
Murphy's lack of racial information directly leads to his indecision in many details when creating Lumina's new form, like a half-mutilated painting, and no matter how much Murphy's imagination can complete, this complex painting cannot be completed.
But he quickly relaxed.
From the point of view of "dog planning", he didn't really need to get this change to 100% during Lumina's first race conversion experiment.
It's not that he's lazy!
It's that the race conversion feature is so important that it doesn't make sense not to create an exclusive quest chain for young players in the game.
Since there is a long chain of quests, there is no need for Lumina's new form to be perfect.
Unlocking new talents and skills step by step is more in line with this "progressive" game story experience, which can make up for your poor craftsmanship.
The idea jumped out and made Murphy call himself a TMD genius!
So he immediately gave up the carving of the details of Lumina's form, and after fully applying his understanding of 20% of the information about the race of the moon elves, he turned his head and whispered to Trash, and then Tracy went out to fine-tune Lumina's body shape, and in the absence of internal conditions, at least the external conditions should be simulated to perfection.
Tracey readily agreed.
She also saw Murphy Jr.'s embarrassment, not that he didn't want to surprise his warrior 100%, but that he couldn't do it yet.
Psionic weaving was too easy for Tracey.
As soon as she got started, she opened and closed like a carver's meticulous carving of stone, and by fine-tuning the frequency of psionic weaving, she quickly shaped Lumina's appearance into a classic moon elf image, and casually "fine-tuned" the scale of her chest.
Tracey is a very "traditional" vampire psychic in this regard.
In her cognition, there is no real "Dudu Demon King" in the elf race, and at most it is only C+. Elves of all races are looking for dexterity and agility, and the size of the ball will undoubtedly affect their quick movement in the woodland.
This detail did not escape Murphy's eyes, and the corner of the vampire lord's eye twitched, Hey! You're going to make Lumina scold at the realism of the game!
Tracey ignored Murphy's grudge look.
After she finished sculpting her limbs and torso, she was ready to start simulating Lumina's facial features, but Murphy reached out to stop her.
"Let her do it herself as a final step."
The Vampire Lord looked at the reshaped body in front of him, but his face was a blur of psionic light and shadow, and he whispered to Trash:
"You see on the forums that the nitpicky guys have been asking for the 'face pinching' feature to be opened, and they don't want to start their second life in the game with their tired face.
They want to make beautiful faces with their own hands.
And I've thought about it, this 'feature' is also an effective addition to the confidentiality of personal information, and players are currently in the game with their faces on their faces, which can easily lead to them being recognized by others in the real world.
You have to understand that not everyone wants to bring the relationships in the game to life.
Is this 'function' possible? β
"It's not as hard as you think."
Tracey thought for a moment and replied:
"Their form of existence dictates that as long as they have mastered the introductory skills of psionic weaving, and are in the current range of techniques dedicated to weaving psionic energy, they can fine-tune their faces and even body characteristics.
But you need a psyker to be around to preside over the ceremony, and I can even give them a few 'reference templates,' like your face and mine."
"Chargeable items!"
Murphy's eyes lit up, and he said as if he had an explosion of inspiration:
"This similar face template that belongs to a unique NPC can also be used as a special 'bonus'!
For example, only your Warriors and my Warriors can unlock this unique face and body if you brush our 'Friendship' to a certain level.
We can even make this 'appearance template' into a psionic message and sell it on Dorothy's black market. β
"Murphy!"
Tracey couldn't take it anymore.
She screamed in Murphy's head with onomatopoeia:
"I don't understand why you become such a philistine every time you take advantage of your warriors, why you can even sell your faces?
I don't want to see the entire female players of the Crimson Keep swaggering in front of me.
That's a shame! β
"Rest assured, your beautiful and charming midnight face cannot be controlled by ordinary women, so that they will not humiliate themselves."
Murphy reassured:
Of course, Adele is expected to be upset by this, but it is also the responsibility and pressure that she must take on as a descendant of Murphy.
I mean, let Lumina try it.
She's your first warrior, so she deserves to be rewarded with enough weight, doesn't she?
Believe me, such a rare physical reward is much more valuable to her than giving it in kind, and she will be grateful and loyal to you for it.
Give it a try. β
"Hmph"
Tracy rolled her eyes and switched her casting gesture rather unhappily, and as she delegated the last authority of psionic weaving, Lumina's consciousness, which was watching the race transformation in the form of a "ghost", quickly returned to her "new body" as if it had been pulled and pulled, but did not awaken immediately.
γDing! Race Conversion Complete! Your race has been changed from 'Human' to 'Half-Elf Moon Elf/Human', and your race talent has been updated!
The initial stats of the characters have been adjusted!
Before you awaken in your new form, take a moment to choose a face for your new form.
Prompt!
This feature is a beta feature, and there are very few character templates to choose from, so you can choose to shape it with your real appearance, or you can fine-tune your facial features and body shape to your liking.
Prompt!
Because the character blueprint you used for your race conversion is from Lady Leenia Galanod Cappadocia, you have obtained the special character appearance template 'Moon Priest Leenia'.
Since you have completed the first link of the 'Tris' Warrior quest chain and earned the 'Cavendina's Champion' title, you have obtained the Special Character Appearance Template 'Tracy the Beautiful Alcoholic'.
Since you're the first player to try this feature, the development team has prepared a rare and unique appearance template, 'Tracey the Historian'.
Because your birthday is approaching, Emerald Jade, a member of the testing team, has specially prepared a birthday gift, a special, and unique appearance template for you, 'Fantasy World Line: Countess Mephinia of Cadman'.
You can upgrade and customize your appearance and appearance according to the special character appearance template you have obtained, and in order to ensure the authenticity and immersion of the game, all appearance templates are different from the character prototype.
In order to ensure the correct progression of the game's story, the development team currently does not allow players to set their self-appearance to the appearance of an NPC.
Please try more channels in the game to get more rare appearance templates.
Tips from the development team!
This feature is a beta feature that requires Respect for the Crimson Keep and access to the Vulture Corridor IV Psionic Vault to enable it.
At the same time, a large commission is paid to Lady Trace, who officiates the ceremony. γ
This series of hints shocked Lumina at how thrilling the development team's hidden work was, but at the same time, there was also a rush of ecstasy.
This development team is really a good civilization that listens to persuasion!
They've really figured out the face-pinching function, Oye! Hooray.
Faced with the appearance template of the three rare characters she already had, all the depression in Lumina's heart had been swept away, she thought about it impatiently, and then made a decisive choice.
Hehe, let yourself make a beautiful appearance as a birthday gift for yourself!
