Shipment of Elysia!
Su Lu did not comment and nodded her head in response.
She was not too worried about the consequences of her actions. After all, she was on this isolated island, surrounded by the game's Valkyries who were loyal to Schicksal. She doubted that anyone would dare to come to the company and cause trouble for her.
Besides, she had to admit that the game's plot was well-written and captivating, despite the occasional glitches and bugs. She was moved by the twists and turns of the story, and the emotions of the characters.
"You go out and prepare for tomorrow's forward-looking matters first." Luo Mo told her, dismissing her from his office.
He wanted to be alone for a while, and check his progress in the game. He had just finished the fourth chapter of the main plot, which was a crucial turning point in the story. He wondered how much crystal value he had earned from it.
[Congratulations to the host, the first four chapters of the main plot - to 'Betrayal is a Silver Smile' have been completed, gaining 821,667 emotion points]
[The host's position is "Boss", and the direct impact of emotional value is 60%]
[The main game scores are as follows:]
[Plot Score: 65]
(This score was mediocre, as he had followed most of the content provided by the system, with little improvement or creativity)
Dubbing score: 75
(He had hired some professional voice actors to dub the characters, which enhanced the immersion and realism of the game)
Music Score: 71
(He had composed some original music for the game, which matched the mood and tone of the scenes)
[Crystal value gained for this storyline: 3451]
(This was the most important score, as it determined how much resources he had to develop his game further)
[Existing crystal count: 3572]
Luo Mo frowned slightly when he saw this crystal count. It was lower than he had expected, considering how much effort he had put into the game. He wondered if he could do better in the next chapters, or if he needed to change his strategy.
He was not very satisfied with the results of his game development. The main plot had a higher crystal value than the side story, but it also had more problems and flaws. The side story was his first attempt at creating his own content, and he had not enough time to polish it.
The main plot was mostly based on the system's template, which he had followed closely. The staff who worked on it had little experience and creativity, and they could not improve the plot much. That was why the plot score was so low.
The system's template was decent, but not original. Even if he copied it exactly, he could only get 60 points at most. But the dubbing… That was a big disappointment. He had expected a better performance from the voice actors, especially for the main characters.
[The main plot requires more emotional expression from the dub, and there was no Wendy or Cocolia dub at the time.]
Wendy… Cocolia… These two characters were very important for the story, and he had no idea how to dub them properly. They had complex personalities and backgrounds, and they needed skilled voice actors to bring them to life.
He sighed and shook his head. He wished he could draw cards instead of saving crystals. It was so hard to accumulate enough crystals to upgrade his game. He needed more staff, more resources, more time.
He looked at the system's exclusive card pool of Elysia, which promised him some rare and valuable cards. It cost 1000 crystals per draw, which was quite expensive, but also tempting.
"First shot." He said, as he clicked on the button. He hoped for a good card, something that could help him with his game development, Anything that could make his game better.
As he expected, a blue light flashed, revealing the
[Elizabeth Bathory]
Stigmata (3-star).
[Function: Physical damage bonus 40, Honkai energy resistance +45, hint, this stigma adds to physical damage, duplicate stigmata are invalid]
[Requirement: Honkai Resistance 45]
He was not too surprised by this result. He knew that his body could only hold 3 stigmata at a time, and he had already used up two slots. Moreover, he realized that most of his 4-star stigmata had higher requirements than he could meet.
So he decided to choose a 3-star stigma to boost his abilities, and hope that it would help him reach the requirements for a 4-star stigma in the future.
The others only had one stigma each, so he did not have to worry about them.
The last stigma he got was too focused on offense, which was not very suitable for him. He preferred to be more balanced and versatile. Besides, he had promised to give that stigma to Kallen, in exchange for some favors from her.
For example, that beautiful garden; for example, her vow to dub her own side story…
But this time, he was definitely going to keep this stigma for himself. He knew that the world of Honkai was full of dangers and challenges. He had to be prepared for anything.
A Honkai eruption could happen at any moment, and he did not want to miss any opportunity to fight it.
For him, wearing a stigma was a quick and easy process, but taking it off was much slower and harder. According to the system's explanation, his body did not have a stigma module, which was a device that could control the stigmata. The stigmata were the remnants of an ancient civilization, and they had different effects on different people. Some of them were very subtle and harmless, but others were very powerful and risky. Wearing a stigma required adaptation and compatibility.
Luo Mo confirmed his choice to load the stigmata, and then placed it on the upper part of his back, where it fused with his skin. He felt a surge of power and resistance in his body, as his attributes changed like this.
[Host: Luo Mo]
[Race: Human]
[Honkai energy resistance: 95 (+45)]
[Physical Strength: 80 (+40)]
[System Evaluation: General B-class Valkyrie, Mr. Inadequate]
[Equipped with Stigmata (up to three): Elizabeth Bathory (3-star)]
[Buff Bar: 1. Game Making Buff. When you make a game, your energy will be boosted and the efficiency of learning related skills will be greatly enhanced (lasts for 1 year)]
Luo Mo felt a refreshing sensation in his body, as if he had shed a heavy burden. It was even more comfortable than when he wore the original "Hanna" stigma, which had a lower rating. The fatigue that had accumulated from the work of the past few days seemed to have vanished in an instant. He felt like a person who had escaped from a swamp and was full of vitality.
Although it was only a blue stigma, it was still worth it, as he could use it right away. Luo Mo looked at the remaining crystal count and the guaranteed number of draws. He felt a headache, but he still clicked on the button, hoping for another good card.
He was surprised to see a purple light, indicating a rare item.
[St. Freya's Specialty Bitter Melon Juice]
[Quality: Four Stars]
[Description: Sugar-free Bitter Melon Juice that can only be purchased at St. Freya's Academy, although it can only be used as a stamina potion in the game, but after the system's changes, at this point, it's already a veritable Purple Star-rated item]
[Remarks: Bitter Melon Juice is a very healthy green food, this is from the concern of Delisa's headmistress!
[Function: Recover from internal injuries, can also be used as an antidote to poison, (it's a food, not a miracle medicine)]
He was speechless for a moment.
[Is this supposed to be a joke? A bitter melon juice as a purple item?]]
He did not bother to argue with the system, and he just clicked on the last draw.
He knew that he was not a lucky person, but he still hoped for something good in the last draw. He decided to try the arcane one-two punch technique, which was said to increase the chances of getting a rare card.
"Respond to me, Elysia!" Luo Mo whispered under his breath.
He swore that if he got what he wanted, he would…
A purple light appeared again, dazzling his eyes. He saw a purple stigma with a pink-haired girl dressed in a white flower wedding dress. She had a familiar face and a familiar expression. It was…
[Elysia- The Flawless One]
[Affiliation: Stigma (4-star)]
[Function: 150 bonus to physical damage, +100 to Honkai energy resistance, this stigma favors bonus to frozen elemental damage, and the user can use some of the powers of the Origin when they are a herrscher]
[Requirement: Honkai Resistance: 200, pretty girl.]
[Description: The stars and moon sent the daughter of the gods, who wished to become the companion of man. At the last feast, she was made up like this and smiled like the first time. She is the herrscher of origin and the herrscher of humanity]
He could not believe his eyes. He had just drawn one of the most powerful and rare stigmata in the game. It was Elysia, the Flawless One, the goddess of creation and destruction. She was the first herrscher, who had rebelled against the will of Honkai and tried to save humanity. She was also his favorite character, who he had admired and adored for a long time.
He felt his hands tremble with excitement and joy, as he held the purple stigma in his palm. It had a beautiful image of Elysia in her wedding dress, smiling softly and radiantly. He felt a warm and gentle connection with her, as if she had chosen him as her partner.
"Wow, wow…" He gasped, unable to form coherent words.
"She really loves me!"
"Elysia really answered my prayer, hahaha!"
[…]
[You have received a buff from the extraction - White Hair Control (one week)]
[The exclusive card pool has been refreshed, the new card pool is - Murata Himeko!
[Description: She is the one who owns the flame that burns from the depths of the unknown space. (Bloodstain, can only be worn by those who have suffered severe and deep wounds)]]
He was greeted by a series of messages from the system, after he had drawn the Elysia stigma.
He was curious about the Himeko-sensei stigma, but he had no more crystals to try his luck. He was more interested in the buff that he had received from the extraction.
White… White hair control?
Luo Mo was confused, was this a buff or a debuff? He had just got Elysia.
He wondered what this buff meant, and he checked the system panel.
He saw that a new item had been added to his buff bar.
[Buff Bar: 2. White Hair Control. You have an inexplicable fondness for women with white hair and would like to get closer (one week)]
What does a week mean? Does it mean that he would be attracted to any woman with white hair for a week? Or does it mean that he would have a chance to meet more women with white hair in a week? Or does it mean something else entirely?
He felt a bit nervous and excited, as he thought about the possibilities. He hoped that this buff would not cause him any trouble, or make him lose his focus on his game development. He also hoped that Elysia would not mind his new preference, or get jealous of other women with white hair.
He asked the system to explain the meaning of the buff duration.
[The strength of the buff is inversely proportional to time, based on this buff, a week is considered a medium length of time, so this is not a big problem, the host is able to overcome it]
The system replied with a vague and unconvincing answer. It claimed that the buff was not too strong or too troublesome, and that he could handle it easily.
He had already experienced the effects of another buff, the game making buff, which had boosted his energy and efficiency in developing his game. He was grateful for that buff, as it had helped him a lot.
But this current buff was different. It was unpredictable and potentially problematic. It could affect his emotions and relationships, and cause him unwanted complications.
Medium strength? Did he trust the system's words? Luo Mo sneered in his heart. He doubted that the system was telling him the truth, or that it had his best interests in mind. He suspected that the system was playing with him, or testing him, or even sabotaging him.
He decided to be careful and cautious, and not let this buff get out of control. He hoped that he could resist its influence, or at least use it to his advantage. He wondered what would happen in the next week, and how he would deal with it.
