"Planets in the Asdna system...no wonder the Interstellar Peace Corporation is so generous..."
Upon seeing the location of this planet, Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and said that many people might not know what the Asdna system is, but there is a very famous interstellar megastructure in this system.
This interstellar megastructure is called the Gathering Star, Pinocene.
With Pinocchio, a name that is well-known even in interstellar space, anyone who wants to operate a tourist planet in this galaxy is basically guaranteed to lose money.
After all, when it comes to tourism, almost no planet can compare to Pinocchio; it basically draws away the popularity of other planets in the same galaxy.
As the saying goes, anything is possible in dreams, so the real world is hard to compare with a place like Pinocchio, which is almost built in a dream world.
However, judging from the information Toppa sent, this tourist planet is indeed very good. After the company's technical transformation, the scenery here is beautiful, with all kinds of outstanding landscapes.
The only downside is the location, which is a bit of a rip-off.
But at least it was free, so we're not losing out either way. We'll see if there's a way to make this planet profitable in the future.
282 The Dragon Emperor's Coronation Ceremony - After
"Master Bailu, you're back! Tomorrow I'm becoming the Dragon Lord!"
"I know, I know. Your master is already a Dragon Lord, and I've heard about your heroic deeds these past few days."
"Many Yunqi soldiers who come to Dan Ding Si for treatment talk about you with envy, saying they want to join your ranks. They've never seen a team with a zero casualty rate."
Bai Lu said this as she tidied up the bottles and jars.
"Absolutely. Although I'm not good at commanding, I know that as long as there is sufficient logistics and medical care, that should be enough."
"But Master Bailu...would you like me to order you an extra-large hamburger and a Fairy Happy Tea?"
"You said this medicine is incredibly effective for when you're in a bad mood."
Bai Zhi leaned close to Bai Lu's ear and whispered.
"What do you mean you're in a bad mood? You must have misread it. As my disciple, the fact that you were able to be crowned Dragon Lord shows that I taught you well. What could you possibly be unhappy about?"
Bai Lu turned her head away, not daring to look Bai Zhi in the eye.
However, Bai Zhi reached out and turned Bai Lu's face towards her, staring intently into Bai Lu's eyes, and said:
“Master, we’ve been living and eating together for so long, and we even sleep in the same bed every night. Do you think I can’t see what you’re thinking?”
"You're still a little kid. I'm your master. You're overthinking it. You can't possibly read my mind."
Bai Lu tried to push Bai Zhi away, but failed.
"Don't worry, Master Bailu, I won't give up on you. Even if this world can't find a way to make you stronger, there are other worlds. Besides, the seal on your tail has been removed, so things will definitely get better in the future."
Bai Zhi reached out and patted Bai Lu's head, comforting her.
"What are you talking about? Your master doesn't care about power or being unable to catch up with you."
"As your disciple, you have surpassed your master, which is an honor for me as your master. Alright, I won't say any more to you. This battle has injured many people, and I need to go see a doctor. You just wait obediently for your coronation."
Bai Lu stammered, then pushed Bai Zhi away again and ran out carrying a bunch of bottles and jars.
"How arrogant she is, clearly afraid of drifting further and further away from me."
Bai Zhi glanced at her phone; there was a short video on it, filmed by a celestial being in Lin Yuan Realm, showing Bai Lu diligently practicing the Cloud Chanting Technique.
The title is still: Dragon Lord is so hardworking at such a young age, what right do you have to slack off?
"System, system, next time send me to a world where I can get items to enhance Bai Lu's power."
Bai Zhi whispered something, but the system didn't react at all, and it was unclear whether she had heard it or not.
With a slight pout, Bai Zhi lay down immediately. No matter what, it's always good to get some sleep first.
Soon, the day was over.
----------
"The builder will receive 10 foundation stones as a gift."
"The Strategic Investment Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation presented a large number of corporate shares as a gift."
"A gift from the Star Train..."
"The gift from Chunxu Star is..."
"This dragon coronation ceremony is being conducted like a wedding ceremony..."
Seeing the Dragon Masters at the entrance of the conference taking things from the guests one by one and reading them out loud, Bai Zhi covered her forehead speechlessly.
This is a strong sense of déjà vu.
"Haha, it's an old tradition. It's a very, very old tradition. Back then, the Immortal Ship still retained a lot of red tape and historical dregs, especially the announcement of this gift."
Jing Yuan stood beside Bai Zhi, who had changed into a light blue outfit, and said with a smile.
"This kind of thing is mainly about saving face for oneself. However, with the increasing exchanges between the Immortal Ship and the interstellar space, this kind of thing has long been swept into the dustbin of history."
"However, as the coronation ceremony of the Dragon Lord, this is actually a better way to handle it. It can show the strength of the guests, since those who come are not ordinary people, and it can also expand their influence."
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes. She could understand the reasoning behind it, but facing it herself was still a bit unbearable.
After all the gifts were collected, everyone took their seats, and then the Dragon Master stepped forward to begin reciting his lines.
"With the witness of all the gods and stars, and with the joy of all the sons and daughters of all races, we are fortunate to gather here on this land illuminated by the Emperor's Bow and etched in history, to witness a grand event that is rare to see in hundreds of years—the coronation ceremony of the Dragon Lord."
"Distinguished guests, you have traversed the stars and the world, bringing your blessings and expectations to the Celestial Ship. Your arrival is like a gentle spring breeze, adding infinite brilliance and glory to this grand event."
"Please allow me, as the guide of this grand event, to express my deepest respect and gratitude to everyone for coming."
Today, we are not only celebrating the rise of a leader, but also welcoming the dawn of a new era. In this glorious moment, every living being present will be remembered in history and become part of the legend.
"Please listen attentively, let your hearts resonate with this ancient land, and feel the call that comes from ancient times and transcends time and space."
When the dragon's roar resounds through the heavens, when its radiance illuminates the night sky, we will witness together how a divinely ordained dragon, with her wisdom, courage, and love, will lead us into an unprecedented era of glory.
"Now, let us join hands and, with the most devout hearts, welcome this historic moment and share this supreme glory. The dragon is crowned, and a golden age is about to begin. May this glorious moment become an eternal memory, engraved deep in every soul."
In high spirits, the dragon master even recited a poem:
Dragons dance in the azure sky and the yellow springs, heaven and earth rise and fall to reveal the true God.
As the Holy Crown is bestowed, the winds and clouds gather, and all races sing praises to the Dragon Sovereign.
With a benevolent heart and a courageous spirit, he shines brightly across the starry sky; his dragon's roar echoes through the ages.
A new era of prosperity begins today, and the world awaits a wise ruler.
"I didn't feel this way when I saw this kind of thing on a video, but now that it's happening to me, I feel so embarrassed."
Watching the Dragon Masters launch into a long-winded speech, Bai Zhi got goosebumps all over her body.
"Haha, I understand, I felt about the same way when I took office as a general. It'll pass. But little Baizhi, from today onwards, you're famous throughout the stars."
"Luckily, I don't have to go and offer toasts; these kinds of things are left to the Dragon Masters."
"You're still a child. Although the Immortal Ship does have this tradition, it's not like I'd let you do this, hahaha."
Jing Yuan laughed out loud.
[Ding! You have acquired the identity – Vidyadhara Dragon Lord. When traveling to other worlds, you can choose this identity to gain special abilities and bonuses.]
283 Uploaded game characters
"I've obtained another identity."
Upon seeing this notification, Bai Zhi stroked her chin. So far, she had only acquired two identities: the Wise Dragon Lord and a senior executive of an interstellar giant, but she had not yet experienced the specific manifestations of these identities in other worlds.
[Ding! Host, do you want to upload your character as a playable character in the gacha pool? You will receive system points based on popularity.]
"Hmm, a reminder I haven't seen in a while, but of course I agree to it."
Bai Zhi had no reason to object to this option that offered her benefits.
After Bai Zhi agreed, the system immediately displayed more information for her to choose from.
Please select the destiny and character title for your uploaded character.
【Abundance - Dragon Girl from the Divine Capital (Imaginary Number)】
【The Dragon Maiden of the Divine Capital: Upon entering battle, she becomes unable to act, but grants her teammates the Blessing of Abundance. Each time a teammate acts, she will automatically restore 15% of that teammate's health and energy. When the energy is full, if a teammate falls, she will use all her energy to revive the fallen teammate, restore everyone's health and energy to 100%, and remove all negative status effects.】
Bai Zhi wiped her sweat. This Trisolaran character, Bai Lu, who took over the role, is a group healer with resurrection and debuff removal. Isn't it a bit much to steal her master's job like this?
The system did not stop and continued to display prompts.
【Preservation - The General's Dream (Fire)】
【General's Dream - Passive: Under the protection of the Divine Lord, Bai Zhi receives 30% less damage, while also increasing her chance of being attacked and her resistance to control effects. Furthermore, enemies who attack Bai Zhi will immediately be countered by the Divine Lord, dealing three types of random attribute damage to them.】
[Skill - Divine Protection: The Divine Lord immediately descends with a giant blade, forming a defense and granting himself a massive shield. This shield can stack up to 100% of its maximum value and greatly increases the chance of being attacked.]
【Ultimate Skill - Help Me, Emperor Bow: Greatly reduces damage taken for 2 turns, and based on its own defense, requests the Emperor Bow's assistance to unleash a barrage of light arrows to attack all enemies, while also refreshing its own shield】
"..."
After seeing this design, Bai Zhi fell silent. This one character would probably drain General Jing Yuan's gold coins.
The skill taunts and adds a shield, and there's also a passive skill that adds an extra attack. Luckily, this counterattack from the God of War isn't an area-of-effect attack, otherwise it would be truly outrageous.
Even so, this role of protection has completely replaced General Jingyuan.
"General...I'm sorry."
Bai Zhi glanced at Jing Yuan, who was talking and drinking with others, and silently apologized.
"System, choose the General's Dream."
"But... speaking of which, why is the character named this?"
Bai Zhi was a little confused, but the system didn't seem to offer any explanation, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
[The Dream of the General has been selected; the system is currently uploading...]
Meanwhile, on Earth, content creators who were working on a test server to create strategy videos for their viewers suddenly noticed a new character appearing abruptly in the test server.
"Bai Zhi - The General's Dream? How come a new character has suddenly been added?"
The content creator, Muscle Marisa, looked at the character that had suddenly been sent to his email with suspicion. The creation test server was about to end, so why was a new character suddenly being released?
"Oh no, the server will shut down in a few hours, I need to hurry up and try it out."
Thinking this, he quickly claimed the role from the test email.
"Let me see... Bai Zhi? Isn't that the fairy dragon girl who appeared in the story? I thought she wasn't part of the story anymore."
Muscle Marisa clicked on Bai Zhi's character interface with great interest. The introduction read: In another strange world line, she, as a dragon girl, gained the favor of the God Lord and many star gods, and eventually became the Immortal Boat General.
"Huh, could it be that Xingtie is going to open an IF line?"
Muscle Marisa was a little confused, after all, this creation experience server was only for them to evaluate the strength of the characters, not for them to experience the story.
Therefore, he had no idea what kind of storyline would involve this character with the suffix "General's Dream" in the game.
"Forget it, let's test the character's strength first. The exclusive weapon... God Lord keeps getting nerfed, hahaha, what kind of weird name is this?"
While laughing out loud, the muscular Marisa decided to ignore the plot and instead start experiencing the character's strength directly.
Using the materials in her backpack, Muscle Marisa quickly maxed out Bai Zhi's character and exclusive weapon.
After maxing out her skills, Marisa Muscle thought for a moment and then chose the Shattered Star King Insect weekly dungeon as her test location.
"Wow, this shield is really powerful. At max level, it gives me a 4500 single-target shield. Combined with my 7500 HP and high defense, it should be able to perfectly defend against single enemies."
Seeing the shield covering most of her health in the game, Marisa Muscle's eyes lit up. Although Bai Zhi doesn't have a group protection skill, as a single-target protector, the amount of shield is undoubtedly high, on par with March Seven.
Furthermore, this skill also comes with the additional effect of increasing taunt level.
In the game, all of the Star Shattering King Insect's single-target attacks were directed at Bai Zhi, and the other small insects were also affected by the skill, all rushing towards Bai Zhi.
Next, Marisa saw that the gods appeared behind Bai Zhi and slashed at the enemies who had just attacked Bai Zhi.
"Something feels off about this deity?"
As Muscle Marisa watched the fireworks erupting from the heads of those insects, along with the three types of elemental damage that followed, a sense of familiarity filled his heart.
