Of course, Fang Zheng wouldn’t know Asuna’s thoughts. After returning to his room, he opened the inventory and took out all the miscellaneous items like needles and threads he bought while shopping, examining each one.
As Fang Zheng and Asuna had discussed earlier, every ga has its priorities. Take NPCs, for instance. The protagonist is always the most detailed, followed by the heroine, and then other supporting roles. As for those NPCs or shopkeepers running around the streets, they are usually created using a template, with a random hairstyle and skin color put on.
The sa goes for weapons and equipnt. The gear you buy on the street obviously can’t have cool particle light and shadow effects; otherwise, who would fight bosses for gear? Generally speaking, the more important sothing is in most gas, the more detailed it is, and the less important things are naturally simpler.
However, the production of these items classified as "miscellaneous" is not that simple. This is not just for the sake of realism, which ans that ga designers must have hidden sothing within that players haven’t discovered.
While thinking this, Fang Zheng picked up a feather pen, gently stroking it to feel its smooth and soft texture. Then, he spread out a scroll, dipped the feather pen in the ink he bought, and started drawing swiftly.
For Fang Zheng, drawing wasn’t difficult. After all, before becoming a ga planner, he was also responsible for character design, scene design, and equipnt settings, so drawing was a piece of cake. Before long, Fang Zheng had drawn the structure of a longsword on the parchnt, then put down the pen and looked at the parchnt in front of him.
"............"
No changes occurred, which was normal.
Fang Zheng didn’t say much more and continued to take out another parchnt scroll to continue drawing. As a ga planner and designer, he already had ideas about triggering hidden skills, and now the main issue was to verify if his ideas were correct.
Ti passed by minute by minute.
Fang Zheng was still focused on drawing designs. He had plenty of energy and didn’t mind skipping als for a day or night. As for leveling, given the safety limit of rank 20, Fang Zheng’s current rank was enough for combat. Even if his rank fell due to a few days without leveling, he could just find so ti to quickly level up; it wasn’t important.
On the contrary, learning the hidden skills—if it was as Fang Zheng thought, it would bring a storm of change in the entire ga world. At that point, Fang Zheng was almost 100% sure he could safely lead this group out of the virtual world.
Of course, the premise is that they don’t act recklessly.
Looking at the pitch-black night sky outside the window, Fang Zheng picked up the feather pen again and continued his drawing work.
This drawing lasted for two days.
".........Mr. Fang Zheng hasn’t co out yet?"
Looking at the closed door, Aoba asked sowhat uneasily, and in response, Leafa shook her head.
"I don’t know either... but Mr. Fang Zheng seems to have said he was researching sothing very important..."
"Isn’t today the day when the holiday ends and training starts? Why hasn’t Mr. Fang Zheng co out yet..."
This ti Yuki also started complaining. They gathered early in the morning planning to start training, but to their surprise, Fang Zheng hadn’t shown up...
"Looks like training won’t happen today, so I’ll go back and sleep for a while..."
Seeing that Fang Zheng didn’t show up, Gabriel imdiately returned to her lazy self, planning to sneak back to her room, but was quickly caught by Asuna’s swift hand.
"Wait, Miss Gabriel, where are you going?"
"Let go of , that guy’s not here, let go back to sleep!"
"No way! Mr. Fang Zheng said before that you have to be the first to participate in training after the holiday! If you don’t complete the training... you’ll lose DKP!"
"Nooooooo!!!"
Hearing Asuna’s reply, Gabriel imdiately wailed.
At the beginning of the guild’s establishnt, Fang Zheng borrowed part of the DKP systems from dostic online gas and modified it according to this world. Under his leadership, the Dark Moon Sword resembled more of a company. Players earned DKP by contributing to the guild, which could be exchanged for so equipnt or even make so reasonable requests.
For example, so production-oriented player tasks might need to be completed after combat, but they themselves aren’t good at fighting. In such cases, they would need the raid group or combat team to co in, which would cost so DKP.
Gabriel was lazy but not stupid. She understood that if she didn’t follow the system, she’d fall into a vicious cycle, making it hard to get good equipnt if her DKP was deducted. For Gabriel, who loved to laze around all day and was a total hobody, it was like hitting her Achilles’ heel...
And now, Fang Zheng relied on this to train Gabriel to be obedient. If you want to quit the guild, do it; if you don’t, then obediently do your tasks for .
If you want to quit the guild—fine, but repay your debts first!
Fang Zheng was completely unaware of Gabriel’s wailing. In fact, he was sitting at his desk, drawing design after design.
This was inherently a very tedious task, and Fang Zheng had been drawing for nearly two days and nights, using up several hundred parchnt scrolls in the process. However, he did not feel bored. On the contrary, Fang Zheng even felt a bit nostalgic—it was reminiscent of the ti during elentary school when he was bored and wrote the character "正" on the dress of a trainee teacher and was later punished to write it a thousand tis by the class teacher...
Yes, but that trainee teacher was quite pretty back then.
While reminiscing about his past "heroic deeds," Fang Zheng once again sketched out a weapon design on a parchnt with the feather pen.
"Ding!!"
But at that mont, suddenly, a voice rang in Fang Zheng’s ear, followed by a line of system notifications appearing in front of him.
[Hidden skill activated: Cartography]
[Player gained hidden skill: Cartography LV1]
Seeing the information prompt in front of him, Fang Zheng was montarily stunned before suddenly realizing. When he looked again at the scroll in his hand, he was surprised to find that it had transford from [Ordinary Parchnt Scroll] into [Sharp Longsword Manufacturing Blueprint]!
Sure enough, it succeeded!!
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng excitedly clenched his fist and waved his arm, then quickly and hurriedly stood up, pacing back and forth in the room. For Fang Zheng, having his prediction co true felt wonderful, just like solving a difficult problem after spending a lot of ti on it... but wait, this is just the first step!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng hurriedly opened the door—only to be startled by the crowd gathered at the door.
"Mr. Fang Zheng!!"
Seeing Fang Zheng co out of the room, the girls also breathed a sigh of relief, while Fang Zheng, who hadn’t fully co to his senses yet, looked at them in surprise.
"What’s going on? What are you all doing here?"
"You haven’t co out for two days, and it’s already ti for training today..."
Aoba timidly reminded him, while Ester silently nodded.
"I tried to contact you, but Master did not respond."
"Oh... sorry."
Upon hearing Ester’s complaint, Fang Zheng realized he had a lot of missed communications and ssages, but at that ti, he was too busy drawing designs and reminiscing about his heroic past to notice.
"Training is temporarily suspended for today. I have sothing more important for you to do."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also quickly forced himself back to his senses and looked at the girls in front of him. Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s words, everyone was stunned, then their expressions imdiately beca serious, knowing that Fang Zheng had never changed plans at the last minute before. If he suddenly decided to cancel training, it must be because there was sothing more important that needed their attention.
"I need you all to go down imdiately, gather everyone, and conduct an investigation."
"...Investigation? Investigate what?"
"Hobbies and areas of expertise."
Fang Zheng clapped his hands, then looked at the girls before him who were now wide-eyed with surprise.
"So people like singing, while others enjoy dancing, or perhaps making handicrafts... whatever it may be, everyone should have so hobbies. What you need to do now is investigate these and gather all the information to give by evening. This is the top-priority task; I’m heading out now!"
After saying this, Fang Zheng quickly walked towards the gate, and just as he was about to go down the stairs, he seed to think of sothing, turned back, and glanced at Gabriel.
"Oh right, Gabriel, when I return, I want to see at least ten completed investigation forms from you. If you can’t do it, you know the consequences."
"............"
Upon hearing this, Gabriel, who had just escaped Asuna’s grasp and was about to sneak back to her room, imdiately froze.
