Chapter 431: Well, my image is already shattered anyway. Might as well do something, right?
“Senior Brother Bai, can I try using this Array?”
Shui Miao Miao asked eagerly.
……
Bai Feng hesitated for a few seconds. He really wanted to say no, but faced with Shui Miao Miao’s shining eyes full of hope, he reluctantly didn’t want to crush her enthusiasm.
Then he thought about it differently: Shui Miao Miao just wants to work as a material library—that is, this virtual world doesn’t need to operate, not even a real virtual universe has to be created.
So he remembered a certain fat guy whose name starts with G, who made GMod. In that game, there’s no real goal—players are only given a sandbox, some objects, and tools. Without mods, he even wondered: is this really a game?
That’s exactly what Shui Miao Miao needs—this kind of functionality. Creating such a ‘game’ doesn’t require many Array resources, and he could even let her help test, then package and upload it. Surely, many would like it.
But that’s a bit far ahead of himself. For now, he just needs to make what Shui Miao Miao wants, which isn’t complicated. His previous test version could be used directly.
In Shui Miao Miao’s nervous gaze, Bai Feng shook off his thoughts and nodded: “No problem. I’ll just make a few adjustments—what you need is only a reference material, so it doesn’t have to be very complex.”
“Thanks, Senior Brother Bai!”
Half an hour later…
“Wow! It’s so realistic!” Shui Miao Miao stood on the grass, inspecting her surroundings. Though nothing was there, her face was full of amazement. She then turned to Bai Feng. “Senior Brother Bai, you’re not joking, right? Did you really transfer me to a grassland?”
Bai Feng didn’t answer. Instead, he summoned the ‘Placement System’ he had crafted in three minutes: “Do you have any scene you want to draw?”
“Hm… I want to draw a scene inside a house. The house should be a bit luxurious, and then a bed… No, wait, I didn’t say that.” Shui Miao Miao’s eyes wandered as she spoke.
“A luxurious house, huh?” Bai Feng nodded. “Let’s do it based on the Bai Family’s house.”
He clicked in the air, and in the next moment, a large house appeared in front of them.
“Eh?”
Shui Miao Miao stared at the suddenly appeared house, her mouth slightly open—what kind of spell was this? Are they really inside a virtual world?
“Junior Sister Shui, you try too. If you want to draw something, just click right here. Landscapes, streets, houses—you name it.”
Bai Feng took out a Image Retainer and handed it to Shui Miao Miao.
She caught it quickly and saw many pictures on it—various styles of houses, bizarre rocks, and all sorts of scenery.
She pointed her finger at a picture of a tree, and in a flash, the tree appeared right in front of her.
“How about that? Pretty convenient, huh?”
Bai Feng walked over smiling.
“Mm-hmm!” Shui Miao Miao nodded vigorously. Then her finger quickly swiped across the Image Retainer. “By the way, Senior Brother Bai, can you summon people here?”
“Of course. But after you summon them, they’ll just be puppets or dolls—no reaction to your actions. You can also adjust their movements here,” Bai Feng pointed at a function on the Image Retainer.
“Wow!” Shui Miao Miao exclaimed. Then she secretly looked up at Bai Feng and asked in a very soft voice, “Um… Bai Senior Brother, does this have you in it?”
“Huh? You wanna use me as a model?” Bai Feng asked with a smile.
“Hehehe…” Shui Miao Miao giggled awkwardly. “Well, you see, it’s not very polite to stare at strangers while drawing…”
“Then I’ll leave this body here. You go ahead and practice drawing. I’ll go out and gather some data first.” After saying that, Bai Feng prepared to leave. Before he left, he turned back and said to the eager Shui Miao Miao, “Even though this is a virtual world, don’t do anything weird with my body.”
“No, of course not!”
Shui Miao Miao hurriedly shook her head, but her eyes looked a bit guilty and avoided his gaze.
“Alright, I’m leaving then.”
With that, Bai Feng stopped moving as if time had frozen.
“Senior Brother Bai?”
Shui Miao Miao first tried to call out. But Bai Feng in front of her didn’t respond at all, so her courage slowly grew.
She saw her walk quickly in front of Bai Feng, instinctively swallowed, and then reached out with her guilty little hand toward Bai Feng’s long robe.
“I need to study muscle structures, so this is unavoidable…”
She kept muttering, as if making excuse or comforting herself.
Soon, her small hand had pulled Bai Feng’s robe off. She stared at the thin shirt beneath, swallowing again.
“I’m studying muscle structures, not trying to look at Senior Brother Bai’s… cough!”
She reached again at the thin shirt.
“Hehe… hehehe…”
No mistake, this feeling is exactly the same as in her memory—that’s Bai Feng’s body!
And next, all she had to do was…
“Honestly, I don’t think it’s necessary to strip entirely just to study muscles,”
Suddenly, Bai Feng’s voice rang in her ear right when Shui Miao Miao was about to continue her guilty exploration.
Her movements froze instantly. She stiffly lifted her head, a smile on her face that looked like she might cry: “Bai… Bai Senior Brother, when did you come? No, tell me, did you just leave?”
Bai Feng didn’t answer, only smirked.
—Oh no! My image in Bai Feng’s eyes is totally ruined now!
Shui Miao Miao closed her eyes, feeling like everything turned dull gray.
She couldn’t find any reason to keep living in this world anymore.
“All right, no more jokes. Keep drawing. This time, I’m really leaving.”
Bai Feng gently rubbed Shui Miao Miao’s head. —Turns out, Shui Miao Miao’s reactions are way more interesting. Like Tian Yan’s, he thought, teasing her doesn’t get any response at all. Lame.
A moment later, the dull-colored Shui Miao Miao slowly looked up, gazing at Bai Feng standing before her. She silently shifted him to the side and resumed her drawing.
This time, perhaps she didn’t dare to do anything anymore…?
After staring at Bai Feng for a while, her heart started to race again.
Anyway, her image in Bai Feng’s eyes was already a wreck. If she didn’t do anything, that’d be a real loss.
No! If Bai Feng really gets mad, that’s the worst!
But d*mn, I really want to know Bai Feng’s body proportions!
