Chapter 175: [Bonus Chapter] Serenity City

[Bonus Chapter for 500 Summoning Pens]

"Darling~ you will make Margie blush if you say such things." Margie gave Ryu a wink causing everyone to laugh. But Ryu was very pleased with how well Margie took care of things. It made things go a lot smoother when dealing with the crafters. 

"Alright, the meeting will end here. I will head over to the village lord's house and settle Flim village. FingerSandwich, can you begin talks with Roland village lord for me, please? See how much money we might need to invest to take it over." Ryu asked. He was only asking FingerSandwhich because he seemed to be very good at handling people.

"Consider it done. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes to win him over." FingerSandwhich replied with a confident smile. 

"Alright, then I will leave you guys to it. Once I finish up with Flim, I will go into closed door cultivation with Chi for the rest of the night." Ryu announced, causing Chi to blush all the way down her neck. She couldn't believe Ryu would announce it like that! Everyone knew their cultivation was dual cultivation!

GreenHat was the first to react as he let out a loud whistle and a giggle without saying anything else. But quickly regretted it when he saw his baby sister glared at him. "Ah! Chi, I..."

"Ryu, I am going to go practice my rune forging," Chi said as she got up, kissed Ryu on the cheek, looked at GreenHat, snorted, and walked out of the room. As soon as she did, she teleported to the palace. 

After closing the meeting, Ryu headed to the village lord's home to find the old man sitting on his front porch whittling at some wood.  Ryu walked up and smiled as he asked: "What are you sculpting?" 

"When I was younger, there was a legend. This legend spoke of a legendary figure called the moonlight sculptor who was said to have sculpted the moon." The village lord seemed to be in a trance as he spoke to Ryu.

[System Notification: Hidden Class Moonlight Sculptor found.]

[If you switch to this class, you will lose all cultivation and have to start over as a sculptor and can only level up by making better sculptures.]

[Only one person can have this class, making it a special class that not even the no class class has access to.]

[Would you like to change classes?]

Ryu read the system message that appeared in front of him and immediately hit no. "Who the hell would spend all their time sculpting crap? Anyway, village lord, I will be taking over Flim Village. " 

Ryu handed the token he received to the village lord. As he did, another prompt that made more sense popped up. 

[Your guild Serenity acquired Flim Village. Would you like to rename the village?]

"Oh, I can rename it? Then… Serenity City!" Ryu felt this was a good name for the city he was going to be building. It would make Serenity really stand out amongst the rest. 

[System Notification: Flim Village is now under the guild Serenity's control. Flim Village is now renamed to Serenity City.]

Hearing the world notification made Ryu frown. He hoped no one would get any ideas and attempt to attack the village. Ryu lifted his head to talk to the village lord, but when he did, he noticed that he was no longer anywhere to be seen. "A different kind of NPC?" there was no way the village lord could have walked that fast.

Unable to figure out where the village lord went, Ryu decided he should send out a message to all residents. "GreenHat, can you go to Flim Village mercenary guild and have them send people out to notify the residents that we will be holding a village meeting tomorrow night game time."

"Village meeting tomorrow night, got it!" GreenHat answered.

With that out of the way, Ryu noticed that the village lord's house was now under Serenity's name. He walked inside to find the entire house empty besides one desk with what looked to be a computer on it. "Not very fantasy like..." 

He walked over to it and sat down. The screen was already lit up with a big start button in the middle of the screen. Ryu moved the mouse and clicked the start button for the screen to go completely black. "Welcome, Player Ryu. I have been waiting for you."

Ryu felt like his eyes and ears were playing tricks on him when the entire room he was in suddenly changed. What appeared in front of him was a young woman dressed in pure white robes with long silver hair and blue eyes as deep as an ocean. On her head was a small silver halo that just hovered there, following her head every movement.

"You are?" Ryu asked. He wondered if this was some kind of special event or maybe even a GM.

"My name is Ishtar… I am what humans would call a god. Maybe that is a little confusing as this is a game to become a god but in all essence of the name, I am one of the creators of this world." Ishtar replied. She lightly stepped towards Ryu and instantly appeared in front of him and grabbed his chin. "For a female, you sure make a handsome young man. Do you wish to look like this in real life? I am sure your little wife would enjoy that. I can give you both parts if you would like."

"Huh!? Wait, what are you talking about!?" Ryu was very confused by many things. First, he couldn't move a single centimeter. Second, this woman knows his true sex. Third, she just offered to make him truly male in real life! Too much information at once was making Ryu's head feel like it was about to explode!

"Hehe… Confused? I am sure you are. As for becoming a young man in real life. How about I just give you the extra member to try for a few days? If you do not like it or decide to look like your character in real life, just let me know. I can either give you an upgrade or cancel the effects.. After all, it is just a little reward for being someone who is able to make this world move faster than it should."
