VCRMM: Chapter 397

The sprite listened to the players’ wails. He couldn’t understand what they were saying but they seemed to be in pain.

He didn’t know how the emperor did it, but he became happy again when he saw the players’ sad and sorrowful expressions.

Hmph, they were the ones who caused the trouble. They must be punished!

Then on second thought, he couldn’t help asking, “Your Majesty, why are they so sad?”

Xu Sili glanced at him and said righteously, “Because they were punished by the law.”

“Punished? What type of punishment?” Small Round Biscuit asked curiously.

What type of punishment would make them so miserable? He also didn’t hear the emperor speak. How did these humans know that they would be punished?

Xu Sili naturally couldn’t tell him that what really made the players suffer was that their reputation was reset to zero.

The things in the faction warehouse had become indispensable items for players to enjoy the game. Losing reputation was almost the same as saying goodbye to the faction warehouse.

Half a year’s efforts had gone down the drain and they had to start from scratch. How could these players not feel despair?

He smiled and said, “For serious cases, they will be imprisoned for a month. For minor cases, it will be half a month.”

“What is prison?”

“They will lose their freedom and be confined to a small room where they can only live and can’t do anything else.”

Small Round Biscuit nodded as if he understood. Then he thought of something and asked, “Will they get something to eat?”

“Yes.”

Small Round Biscuit frowned. “Then it is still too cheap for them.”

This place was a mess and he had to spend time repairing it. Meanwhile, they just stayed in one place and could eat and drink. Wasn’t that too happy?

Since he had been trapped in the underground ruins for so long, he didn’t feel that losing his freedom was too serious. After all, Turles had gone through the same thing.

In addition, Turles had to find a way to find food while they could be happy every day.

Meanwhile, Xu Sili was looking at his system panel.

Once he named this dungeon and set the rules, the panel had changed:

Town: Sprite World.

Guardian Sprite: Small Round Biscuit.

Special effects: Affected by the inscription ‘Sprite World’, all living things and objects entering it will shrink except for special life forms.

Rule 1: Do not destroy the scenes or you will be punished by the laws of the Roland Empire, and the reputation of the Roland Empire faction will be reset to zero.

Xu Sili touched his chin and looked at the words ‘guardian sprite.’ He couldn’t help wondering if every town could give birth to a guardian sprite.

Of course, this was only theoretical.

The reason why Small Round Biscuit was able to come into being was due to the strength of the Siasa inscription masters and the power of the elemental elves.

Now the elemental elves were very weak and might not have enough power to give birth to new guardian sprites.

Perhaps he would have to wait until all the seals on Escher Star were lifted before the elemental elves could recover their peak strength.

He also suspected that the power of this law was closely related to the strength of Escher Star. After all, Small Round Biscuit was born under such circumstances.

He was thinking this in his heart. Then once he heard the sprite’s words, he asked, “What do you think should be done?”

Small Round Biscuit was also worried.

Then he thought of the beautiful scene under the banyan tree and couldn’t help wondering, “Can I ask them to help me transform the ruins into something beautiful?”

“Of course, they can’t destroy the inscription!”

He looked at the damage on the stone wall.

Fortunately, only minor details of the inscription were damaged and he could repair it quickly.

Having said that, he still felt a bit sad.

“Do you want them to continue building the underground ruins?” Xu Sili asked.

“Uhuh!”

“Then what do you think about developing this place into a town? I’ll let you be the lord of this town and this town will be called Sprite World.”

Small Round Biscuit’s eyes lit up slightly after hearing this suggestion.

“Really? You will really let me be the town’s lord?” The young man flapped his thin wings and flew happily around Xu Sili and Si Sheng.

Xu Sili couldn’t help laughing when seeing him like this. “Yes, this is your territory, isn’t it?”

“Yes! Okay, let’s develop this place into an underground city. Make it lively and beautiful!” Small Round Biscuit said happily.

It was the nature of every guardian sprite to like lively places and beautiful things. He didn’t like the darkness everywhere in the ruins.

Xu Sili continued to call up the panel and write down new rules.

Rule 2: Those who are punished for destroying the scene can get a reduction by completing the ‘Build the Sprite World’ tasks.

Rule 3: Small Round Biscuit is the lord of Sprite World.

Rule 4: The lord of the city can make the rules of the city.

Xu Sili stopped after writing these four rules. For other details, he would wait for Small Round Biscuit to perfect them himself in the future.

For now, he quite liked this vibrant dungeon and didn’t want to add too many restrictions here for the time being.

Perhaps one day, this place could become a distinctive city on Escher Star. It all depended on how well the players performed.

The moment Xu Sili wrote down Rule 4, Small Round Biscuit had a strange feeling in his heart. It was as if he could…

“Everyone who comes to the Sprite World must learn inscriptions!”

The moment he said this, changes also occurred on Xu Sili’s panel.

Rule 4: The lord of the city can make the rules of the city.

City Rules (1): Everyone who comes to the Sprite World must learn inscriptions!

Xu Sili raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that this sprite really loved Turles and was thinking about him all the time.

“Besides this rule? You don’t want to collect taxes or something?”

“Taxes?”

Seeing the little sprite’s ignorant and innocent eyes, Xu Sili hesitated for a moment. Then he decided not to teach the little sprite bad things.

“Nothing. Just do as you like.”

Small Round Biscuit thought for a moment before saying, “You can’t destroy plants in the Sprite World.”

“Don’t destroy other people’s houses.”

“You can’t pee or poop anywhere!”

“No swearing!”

“……”

The little sprite said several things in a row, and Xu Sili was a bit amused.

Still, something else was necessary. Once the sprite stopped, he asked, “What happens if you break these rules?”

“If you break the rules, you will be kicked out and won’t be able to come in.”

“You can never come in?”

The little boy frowned. He thought that this seemed a bit too harsh, so he said, “Then one day… No, you can’t come in for a month!”

“Okay.”

Xu Sili wrote the rules into the panel. Once he closed the panel, all players received the system notification and saw the new dungeon rules.

“From now on, this place will be called Sprite World?”

“I seriously doubt that the dog planners are really fishing to enforce the law. Otherwise, how could it be so timely?”

“Am I the only one who cares? Was Si Sheng written in the combat records? Is it the Si Sheng I know?”

“F*k, does this mean that our team battle attracted the patron saint of the empire?”

“Where is he? I haven’t seen him! I want to take a picture with him!”

“Now I just want to know where to pick up the mission to build the Sprite World? Can I get back my 100,000 reputation?”

Once the rules of Sprite World were released, they were posted on the forum by players. Together with the rain of stars that happened under the banyan tree before, players couldn’t help sighing at what differential treatment it was.

Of course, more and more players were attracted by this mini-city and gathered here to contribute to the construction of the Sprite World.

A long time later, it became the ‘dream city’ of Escher Star, just as Xu Sili hoped.

Even when Small Round Biscuit’s strength grew to a certain level, he could grant ‘sprite wings’ to people who came to the Sprite World, becoming real sprites.

Of course, this was all a story for later.

The matter of the underground ruins finally came to an end. The team of magic circle masters officially set out to Siasa Forest to build a two-way teleportation circle.

The plans of the large guilds were naturally in vain.

As more and more masters in drawing entered the scene and completed the inscription test, more players gradually came to the Elementalist Academy to learn the inscription inheritance.

This process had almost become stable and the little sprite also became familiar with life in the human world under Yulia’s guidance.

Finally, everything was on track and he started his ‘work’ in the Roland Empire.

Xu Sili arranged for him to work with Ms Aina.

The inscription master was derived from the alchemist. The two of them could collide to make new sparks.

Moreover, Ms Aina had been in the interstellar space for a hundred years and some of her ideas were more innovative. It was hard not to look forward to what type of results such a combination could bring.

After discussing it with his second brother, Xu Yuheng, the main city upgrade was postponed for one month because a new group of players would be entering soon.

This new batch of players numbered 400,000.

So far, the number of players of Starry Sky Age had exceeded two million. This number would gradually increase as the productivity of gaming equipment improved.

In order to cope with the increasing number of players, the square in front of the birth point was expanded again.

Under the policy order, the people living in the surrounding area were moved to the new urban area in an orderly manner. They could start a new life and no longer had to be disturbed by the braves.

Once this group of new players arrived, Xu Sili conducted another nationwide live broadcast to carry out the upgrade ceremony for the main city. He once again performed well in front of the new players and raised his personal reputation to a new peak.
