My Players Are So Fierce-Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Damn! A Gender-Bent Version of Lord Murphy, the Game Designers Are So Clever!

Lumina quickly completed the face customization.

The process wasn’t particularly enjoyable, as 《Reality Realm》 emphasized 100% realism, meaning her face customization process didn’t have sliders or modules to determine different facial features.

The current appearance modification was adjusted according to her thoughts. After selecting the appearance template, Lumina began fine-tuning the details.

Her first action was to readjust her chest, which had been compressed to honor student size by Tris, back to what she felt was her proper and slightly larger scale.

Tris watched this with a resigned expression.

How obsessed are you guys with body proportions?!

Hey, you keep saying you’re a devoted elf enthusiast, but this body shape would make you a “chubby demon king” even in the Castilia Great Forest or the dark regions of the Eternal Rift! Hey, you’ll be rejected by those picky elves, don’t you understand?

The Spirit Sovereign stood beside Lumina who was customizing her face, watching with interest as Lumina’s confused features gradually became clearer.

She knew Murphy had used the core bead to transmit information about two rare appearance templates based on herself to Lumina, but she had secretly given Lumina a “third choice” as a “birthday gift.”

Tris was truly curious about whose appearance her first champion would choose to begin her new journey.

As she watched, Tris’s expression became both strange and delighted.

Murphy beside her paid no attention to this process. As an NPC performance artist of both moral and artistic excellence, he had long ago declared his attitude toward little players.

No matter what they turned themselves into, even if they “surgically” became deep sea sludge beasts, he would still smile and issue quests to them.

Rather than Lumina’s brand new appearance, Murphy was more concerned about her character information after the race conversion was complete. Through the connection between the core bead and computation bead, he pulled up Lumina’s current status to examine carefully:

【Player ID: Lumina Yanghen

Race: Half-elf 【Human/Moon Elf】

Character Attributes: Omitted

Character Talents: 【Amazing Flexibility】, 【Iron Will】, 【Clear Mind and Eyes】, 【Knowledge Seeker】, 【Novice Performer】, 【Alchemy Crystal Master】, 【Shooting Master】.

Racial Traits:

Mixed Blood Heritage: Due to not possessing complete Moon Elf bloodline, player cannot gain all Moon Elf talents, and maintains human talents in half-elf form while developing new talents distinct from both humans and elves.

Seize Every Second – Human: -30% time required for crafting actions

Diligent Study – Human: -30% time required for learning actions

Natural Grace – Elf: No one dislikes beautiful and graceful beings, +2 Charisma check for all elf bloodlines except Shadow Elves.

Natural Swift – Elf: Attack and movement speed permanently increased by 5%, ranged attack accuracy significantly modified and gain 【Shooting Master】 talent, dodge and block chances increase based on life form improvement.

Moonlight Swift – Moon Elf: +3 to attack and defense checks in moonlit areas, +1 to all spirit magic effect checks.

Unknown Talent I – Moon Elf: Awaiting unlock.

Unknown Talent II – Moon Elf: Awaiting unlock.】

This refreshed character information made Murphy furrow his brow, mainly due to the modifications to player talents.

The 20% race information collection rate meant Lumina only received three elf-side racial talents, not only failing to unlock the two most important Moon Elf talents 【Moon’s Blessing】 and 【Moonlight Concealment】, but also canceling out one of the three inherent human racial talents 【Human Spirit】.

That talent’s effect allowed players to learn all knowledge and skills developed by current human civilization across all industries and fields without barriers.

Now without this talent, it meant Lumina would need to invest more effort when learning advanced human civilization combat and manufacturing techniques.

The little players might not notice this change, but Murphy knew very clearly that their rapid growth in Transia relied heavily on the three initial talents granted by the human initial template.

This meant that while Lumina obtained her dream elf identity, it also created an obstacle for her future gaming career.

But looking at it another way, she was now a half-elf like Adele, which meant she could learn certain elven techniques from Adele

Viewed this way, it seems she didn’t lose out too much.

“It seems these two unknown talents will only be unlocked after I increase my collection rate for the elf race template, so this is how race conversion works?”

Murphy stroked his chin thoughtfully:

“Is this encouraging me and my champions to leave Transia and interact with various forces on the continent to obtain more creature template information? Looking at it this way, this information collection rate might be related to reputation with other forces?

Hmm, it seems worth trying to collect some when the Black Plague arrives and all races join hands to resist it.”

Thinking thus, he turned to look at Lumina Yanghen climbing up from the stone platform.

This “freshly minted” half-elf player was curiously examining her now slender and proportionate body, especially seeming very very satisfied with the perfect waist and leg-to-body ratio.

But when she raised her head, Murphy instantly lost his composure.

Because he saw a face that was seven parts similar to his own.

“Hahahahaha”

Tris’s mischievous laughter rang out in Murphy’s mind. Though the Spirit Sovereign maintained a dignified and elegant posture on the surface, she was actually dying of laughter inside.

She said in Murphy’s mind with a teasing and delighted tone:

“I’ve always wondered what my little Murphy would look like as a girl… Wow, I must say, that handsome face of yours really is more stunningly beautiful when put on a girl.

Look how pretty this little girl is.”

Tris casually flicked her spirit energy to create a floating mirror, letting Lumina see her current face.

It wasn’t a soft feminine face, actually closer to an androgynous delicacy, after all it was shaped based on Lord Murphy’s facial features as a template, just incorporating Lumina’s personal facial features for gradual transformation.

Therefore, it could be said this face was a beautiful fusion taking the best elements from both Lumina and Murphy’s faces while discarding the crude aspects.

Its emergence represented Lumina’s superior achievements in aesthetics and artistry, while also indirectly demonstrating that Murphy’s handsome face could perfectly handle dual-gender characteristics.

“Wow, so beautiful! This is exactly the perfect appearance I imagined I could have!”

Lumina cupped her cheeks and dramatically shouted in front of the mirror, then very satisfactorily reached up to pinch her pointed ears hidden under her long hair, and struck a model’s pose in front of the spirit mirror to show off her flexible, slender figure.

She also discovered her pupil color had changed from black to moonlight silver, which added plenty of mystique to her delicate face.

This process was quite pleasing to the eye, but not so much for Murphy, as it was like watching a female version of himself striking various alluring poses, which was truly “eye-searing.”

“I don’t know what mindset led you to shape your face so similar to mine, but I must tell you, Lumina Yanghen!”

Murphy said sternly:

“I don’t like your choice as it makes me feel like I suddenly gained a distant cousin.”

Lumina blinked.

She sensed Lord Murphy was angry, and just as she was about to speak, a prompt quietly popped up on her computation bead:

【Your disrespectful behavior has angered Lord Murphy, his favorability toward you has decreased.】

【Your disrespectful behavior has angered Lord Murphy, his favorability toward you has decreased.】

【Your disrespectful behavior has angered Lord Murphy, his favorability toward you has decreased.】

“Damn!”

Three consecutive favorability decrease prompts startled Lumina into jumping up on the spot.

This was probably the first real evidence in the game revealing that the “favorability system” truly existed, and also the first time any player had received a favorability decrease prompt.

It seems she really had angered Lord Murphy.

“I’ll change it! I’ll change it, okay? Please don’t be angry!”

Lumina covered her eyes and cried out miserably.

She was a veteran player.

She knew very well how difficult it was to increase Lord Murphy’s favorability in the game. Now that Murphy showed anger in front of a little player for the first time, she panicked, crying out while lying back on the stone platform, and under Tris’s regretful gaze, adjusted that excessively handsome face into a fusion of Lady Lainnia’s appearance template and her own features.

This made Lumina lose the unique charm of “fantasy timeline Countess Murphy of Kadman”, but the appearance derived from a genuine Moon Elf gave her more of the elegant detachment that Moon Elves should have.

Lumina was very satisfied with this.

Murphy was satisfied too, so when Lumina awakened for the second time, she received another prompt:

【Due to your ability to acknowledge and correct mistakes, Lord Murphy is very satisfied, his favorability toward you has increased, and he is prepared to give you new responsibilities.】

“I’m ready to serve you, Lord Murphy!”

Veteran player Lumina quickly stepped forward and made a Blood Vulture salute, saying loudly:

“Please give me more responsibilities.”

“Very good.”

Murphy nodded and said:

“During the race conversion process just now, you must have discovered, my champion Lumina, that Tris and I don’t understand much about the spirit characteristics of other races, preventing us from perfectly converting you into the elf form you desire.

This is work that must be slowly collected and perfected over a long time, and I will give you the authority to participate in it.

You will become the eyes for Tris and me, and through your interactions with other races, we can quietly discover those racial mysteries we haven’t yet uncovered.”

【Ding! Special Quest – ‘Diplomatic Duties’ has been triggered!

Quest Requirements: Help Murphy and Tris collect different racial template information through interactions with other ethnicities, thereby unlocking more race conversion options for the player community.

Interactive behaviors include but are not limited to: reputation increase, fighting side by side, making friends, anatomical research, blood collection, etc.

Current race template collection status as follows:

1. Vampire and racial branches:

Blood Vulture – 100%, Thorn – 20%, Wolfsbane – 10%, Blood Pact – 10%, Blood Dread – 0%, Secret Blood – 0%, Mad Blood – 0%.

2. Human and racial branches:

Silan – 100%, Nord – 45%, Caith – 30%, Ancient Mountain Folk – 30%, Calum Dragon Descendants – 5%, Caesar Barbarians – 0%.

3. Elf and racial branches:

Moon Elf – 20%, Forest Elf – 0%, Sea Elf – 0%, Shadow Elf – 30%.

4. Dwarf and racial branches:

Brass Dwarf – 0%, Silver Dwarf – 5%, Frost Dwarf – 25%.

5. Other ethnicities:

Not recorded.】

“Damn!”

This string of prompts made Lumina’s eyes blur, but as a roleplaying enthusiast, she was overcome with wild joy at seeing so many race options. Speaking of which, is there any point playing a roleplaying game where you can’t experience multiple races?

《Reality Realm》 was good in every other way, with its only flaw previously being right here, and now, the almighty development team has finally filled in this regrettable gap.

Wow!

Long live the dog designers!

“Alright, you may leave now. The changes in racial talents will give you an adaptation period for some time, I don’t think you should go challenge tough enemies before perfectly mastering your new powers.”

Murphy said to Lumina:

“Everything that happened to you is the first step in Tris’s and my research into your unique spirit energy forms. You are a test subject, so if you have any discomfort or strange feelings, be sure to report them to us promptly.

Also, if possible, please keep all this confidential for now.”

“Okay okay, I promise!”

Lumina swore with that freshly minted half-elf face pointing to the sky, then less than 5 minutes after leaving secret room number 4, a new post appeared on the forum.

All this was under Murphy’s observation. He shook his head and said to Tris beside him, who had already opened a bottle of wine to celebrate:

“You’ll be busy from now on, I expect many people will come requesting to attempt race conversion.”

“Huh? Why would I be busy?”

Tris rolled her eyes and said:

“During that process just now I only assisted you, Murphy, Lumina’s racial trait conversion was all your handiwork.

In other words, if anyone’s going to be busy it’s you, what does it have to do with me?”

“I’m not talking about race conversion! I’m talking about face customization.”

Murphy explained:

“Race conversion is still incomplete, I don’t plan to launch this feature now. The reason I put so much effort into creating this ‘successful case’ with Lumina is partly to reward her contributions to Transia, and partly to ‘paint a picture’ for my little players.

You understand my meaning?

Let them know this feature exists, but I’ll only have enough energy to help them convert their races after Transia survives the Black Plague.

This way, perhaps they’ll have more courage to fight against the coming disaster on this land, but since the face customization feature has been ‘implemented’, I guess the flood of little players will keep you from leaving this secret room for at least half a month”

“I won’t!”

Tris immediately objected:

“I’ll have Femis host this ritual.”

“I refuse!”

Murphy put on a stern face and said:

“This is your punishment, Tris, for mischievously including my appearance among Lumina’s choices. Did you really want to see a gender-bent version of me that badly? Do you have some weird fetish?”

————————

“Holy shit! Holy shit! Lumina converted her race!”

While crossing the mountains between Seicob territory and Saxony region, Tobacco Mulberry, who was piloting a gargoyle at high altitude searching for dangers, screamed to his companions behind him with his hoarse voice:

“Stop sleeping, everyone! Quick, look at the forum! The dev team implemented race conversion and face customization features, Lumina has already turned herself into a half-elf.

Damn!

Why didn’t they pick me as the test subject for such a cool feature? I want to turn myself into a minotaur! A super powerful minotaur is what I love most!”

“What the hell are you howling about!”

Led More Than Three to Five Pecks beside Tobacco Mulberry cursed:

“Go fly your gargoyle plane! I’m watching Lumina’s video right now, she recorded her whole face customization process and gave detailed explanations. Said something about special character appearance templates, she first tried to turn herself into a female version of Lord Murphy.

Damn, this face with this body

Brothers, I feel like something’s wrong with me.”

“Let me declare first! I hate intimate relationships between men!”

Brother Black Stockings beside them cleared his throat with a stern face, but then changed his tone, staring at the female version of Murphy’s face projected from the computation bead on his wrist, he said softly:

“But if it’s Lord Murphy, perhaps it wouldn’t be impossible…”

“Damn! Keep your gay vibes in check!”

Meow King kicked Brother Black Stockings hard, cursing:

“Can you all have some dignity? It’s not like we haven’t seen those femboys online before, let me tell you young people, don’t let beauty blind your eyes, alcohol is gut-piercing poison, lust is bone-scraping steel blade!”

“Hmph, you dare look! Don’t think I don’t know, you’ve sneaked several peeks already, you shameless dog!”

“The forum’s gone crazy, official announcement released the testing process for the ‘face customization’ feature, but all the replies below are begging for Lord Murphy’s special appearance recipe pack. Lumina is sharing her face customization experience, saying that to surgically make yourself look like Lord Murphy you first need to obtain an appearance template.

I think this might be some kind of ‘special currency’ for later?

Damn, Brother Alpha is here!

Damn, he locked the thread?

What’s going on?

Which damn dog made him angry?!”
