Chapter 422 Taoyao turns into a disaster beast?
After hearing Taoyao's promise, Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned.
She immediately stood up straight and resumed the professional attitude of a system elf.
Then, Xiaoxiao raised the small elf wand in her hand and tapped it lightly in the air.
Accompanied by a soft light, a translucent light curtain instantly appeared in front of Tao Yao.
Three character card images are clearly displayed on the light screen, each showing a different character design style.
Xiaoxiao organized her words a little and then spoke softly.
[Master, Xiaoxiao has prepared three different identity options for you.]
Xiao Xiao's tone became professional and serious.
The first option is a gentle nurse. She possesses healing skills that ordinary people don't have, making her a support character with powerful healing abilities.
She pointed to the first card and continued her introduction.
[The advantage of this identity is that it fits your personality and doesn't stand out too much.]
Xiaoxiao turned to the second card.
[The second option is a mysterious adventurer who travels across various kingdoms.]
There was a confidence in her tone.
This type of vest offers a high degree of freedom, allowing for better guidance of the subsequent plot development of "Leprechaun Journey," and its mysterious nature also helps conceal the true identity.
Finally, Xiaoxiao pointed to the third card.
[The third option is quite special, it's a fox.]
There was anticipation in her voice.
My design idea for this solution is to make the owner's new vest completely out of the human realm as much as possible, which should be able to minimize the risk of being discovered.
After listening to the detailed introduction of my own system wizard.
Tao Yao carefully observed the three new vest plans presented to her on the screen in front of her.
Her expression seemed thoughtful, and she was obviously seriously considering the feasibility of each plan.
"It looks pretty good."
Taoyao nodded, expressing her approval of the small work result.
"What the hell is this third one? Tell me what you think."
There was some curiosity in her tone, and she was obviously very interested in this special plan.
Hearing Taoyao's question, Xiaoxiao raised his head instantly with a proud expression on his face.
【Owner! 】
There was pride in the small voice.
[The character avatars you used to participate in the game plot were basically normal humans.]
She continued her analysis.
[That's why Hualei could see through my flaws so easily.]
Xiao Xiao's tone became more confident.
[To minimize this risk, Xiaoxiao thinks, why does your new avatar have to be human?]
She excitedly explained her idea.
Xiao Xiao thinks we should break away from our inherent thinking and stop being human. We should just transform into disaster beasts and participate in the plot. This is the best way to hide!
Xiaoxiao was obviously very satisfied with the idea she came up with, and her face was full of an expression of "praise me quickly".
After listening to the brief explanation, Taoyao nodded in agreement.
"That makes sense. I didn't expect you to come up with this method."
There was a hint of appreciation in Taoyao's tone.
Obviously recognized a little innovative thinking.
She continued to think for a moment, then made a decision.
"The first two options can be ruled out."
Taoyao's tone became more serious.
"The third option can be optimized."
She continued, looking at the card picture of a fox.
"There's nothing wrong with the fox setting, but it can't just be in beast form. It has to have a human form."
Taoyao thought seriously.
"A white-haired fox girl would be best. Players love this type of character, especially white-haired foxes. This will be very helpful in accumulating popularity in the future."
Upon hearing Tao Yao's request, the system elf's expression seemed a little hesitant.
She hesitated slightly, then spoke cautiously.
[But Master, although the human form certainly conforms to normal aesthetic standards, but...]
There was a hint of worry and slight hesitation in Xiaoxiao's tone.
[But if you don't want to reveal your sockpuppet identity, wouldn't it be better to just be in pure beast form?]
She continued to explain her concerns.
[After all, if she's in human form, it's easy for people to associate her with Taoyao's true form.]
Faced with this little worry, Taoyao seemed very calm and indifferent.
She waved her hand, signaling Xiaoxiao not to worry.
"It's okay, I'm going to change my thinking this time."
There was a thoughtful certainty in Taoyao's tone.
"Xiaoxiao, I actually thought about it carefully. The reason why my previous vests were exposed was because of this."
She began to analyze the reasons for her previous failures.
"A lot of it was because I was so impressive."
Taoyao continued to summarize.
"Those vests are good-looking, that's all. They either have outstanding abilities or are very powerful, and their overall character design is too similar to the Taoyao in the eyes of players."
Her tone became more rational.
"So it was natural for me to be discovered and exposed, and I didn't try to hide it too much."
Tao Yao paused for a moment, then continued.
"As for this new vest, I set it up to be a complete vase."
There was a cunning glint in her eyes.
"Apart from being good-looking, it's completely useless in other aspects."
After thinking about it, Tao Yao continued to add.
"And even if it's finally exposed, it won't be a big deal."
Her tone seemed relaxed.
"Anyway, I have so many aliases now. Not to mention that I'm on the Blue Star Internet, there's no way the Pink Fairy's identity as a traitor will be exposed."
Taoyao continued to analyze the current situation.
"So far, there are still White Sakura players in the game that they would never have thought of."
Her expression grew more confident.
"I'm only using this new account now just to have a backup identity just in case."
There was a sense of confidence in Taoyao's tone.
"With so many accounts existing at the same time, it's basically as stable as it can be."
At the table, hearing Tao Yao's confident analysis, the system elf Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully.
But soon, her expression became a little confused again.
[But Master, I just can't figure it out.]
[Why are you so obsessed with not exposing your sockpuppet identity? ]
She continued to inquire, clearly curious about the question.
For the system elf Xiaoxiao, it was difficult for her to understand why her master was so worried about the vest being exposed.
In her opinion, if the vest is exposed, it is exposed. Anyway, it has not caused any substantial negative impact on the owner's popularity so far.
Sometimes, even when a vest is exposed, it can bring more attention and topics, which is a good thing to some extent.
So Xiaoxiao really couldn't understand why Taoyao tried so hard to avoid exposing her vest.
Faced with Xiaoxiao's puzzled inquiry, Taoyao responded immediately.
"Of course!"
Taoyao's tone carried a matter-of-fact attitude.
"Xiao Xiao, didn't I tell you?"
She began to explain her point of view.
"A vest is like clothes. Without a vest, isn't it the same as without clothes? And without clothes, do you think I can still go out and meet people?"
Taoyao's expression became more serious.
"So, this kind of completely exposed thing will make people feel insecure, right?"
She continued to emphasize her reasons.
"So it doesn't matter if my vest is exposed, but no matter how it is exposed, I have to make sure that I always have a bottom line. This is equivalent to the last line of defense."
Taoyao's tone revealed a firm attitude.
He muttered softly as he listened to his master's explanation.
[I still don’t understand…]
Her voice was low, and she was obviously confused by Taoyao's metaphor.
Taoyao heard the small murmur, but didn't pay much attention to it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Since the plan is already in place, let's optimize it."
Taoyao's tone became more positive.
"Help me design the specific image details, and if there are no problems, I will use my authority to officially put this new vest into use."
There was a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.
After hearing Taoyao's instructions, Xiaoxiao immediately returned to work.
[Master, how many popularity points do you plan to invest in this new account to influence the plot?]
He opened his mouth slightly and asked about specific budget issues.
Generally speaking, each of Taoyao's aliases will consume a certain amount of popularity points as support.
This is also to better integrate the new vest into the plot world and produce reasonable influence.
However, according to past experience, such expenses are generally not too much and are usually within a reasonable range.
Xiaoxiao just wanted to ask casually about the specific budget arrangements so that she could make the corresponding preparations.
However, Taoyao's next answer was completely beyond her expectations.
"This vest identity will cost one million."
Taoyao's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing.
"Well... one million is the starting amount, and if it's not enough, we can continue to add more."
Hearing this number, Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
If one version costs one million, the cost is quite reasonable.
There was a sense of understanding in the small tone.
[Master, rest assured, I will definitely make good arrangements for the subsequent versions of your vest.]
She obviously thought Taoyao was talking about the total consumption during the entire version period.
But Tao Yao's next words left her completely dumbfounded.
“Who told you it was the total consumption of the entire version?”
There was a hint of surprise in Taoyao's tone.
"The one million starting point I mentioned only applies to the creation phase of the sock puppet character."
Hearing this, the system elf's eyes widened, with disbelief written all over his face.
[Huh? One million for a sock puppet? And that's just the starting price?!]
The small voice was a little out of tune, obviously shocked by the number.
She hurriedly opened her mouth to confirm.
[Master, are you sure you got the number right?]
There was tension in Xiao Xiao's tone.
[Is it really necessary to invest so many popularity points in a sock puppet identity? ]
You know, Taoyao’s own five-star character card was roughly at this level when it was created.
