Constellations that Control Fate
Constellations that Control Fate
A mellow song was the most gentle form of punishment. It could slink into a heart unnoticed and chain it up before one even noticed what was happening.
When Lin Yuan logged onto Star Web, he went into his private territory.
Since Lin Yuan wanted to go into his private territory on Star Web, he brought along the mask Hu Quan had made for him.
He assumed that it would be rather empty since he had not announced his private faction's role.
However, when Lin Yuan entered, he realized that about seven or eight people were standing outside his private territory and talking.
Lin Yuan was slightly suspicious, but he felt annoyed when he heard what they were discussing.
"Why are the bunch of you here in the middle of the night? There's nothing exciting to see."
"Why are you talking about us? You're rather sinister! You come here at the same time every day to mock Sky City."
"I'm not mocking Sky City. I just think that Sky City is a little pitiful."
"My rising faction, Nut Mercenaries, is also new. However, if I happen to meet any member of Sky City, I'm willing to donate some outstanding items for them to spruce up their entranceway."
The other people present were disgusted at this Nut Mercenaries member.
We've agreed on a time to leave here together to take a look at Nut Mercenaries' private territory. It's not like your private territory has anything valuable. Why are you acting all high and mighty here and trying to lord above other rising factions? How are you worthy? What a joke!
Lin Yuan pursed his lips as he scanned these few people. He sighed to himself at how silly they were.
Why aren't they asleep at this hour?
Lin Yuan ignored them and went into his private territory.
The group of people had noticed Lin Yuan when he entered. They initially thought that he was just here to see if anything exciting was going to happen.
They did not expect that he would turn out to be a member of Sky City.
Inside his private territory, Lin Yuan checked his private territory's visitor log.
Even after five minutes, he was not done checking through the visitor logs from today.
Lin Yuan gave up checking the visitor logs.
He noticed that there was mail from the Star Web officials in his private territory's mailbox. After taking a look at it, numerous questions popped into his mind.
In the last month, his private territory had achieved a ranking in the Visitor's Ranking.
There were many rankings for private territories on Star Web.
Most of the ranked private territories were a cut above the rest, and they represented the institution of private territories on Star Web.
Although the Visitor's Ranking was not a particularly powerful ranking, it did carry significant weight amongst all the rankings.
After all, it represented the number of people who visited private territories every day.
Lin Yuan might have been happy if his private territory had been ranked after he announced its role.
However, his private territory had not even debuted. It was no different than a patch of empty land.
It was impossible for empty land to be attractive!
Hence, all the visitors had just come to see if there was anything exciting happening.
It was because of this that Sky City's highest ranking on the Visitor's Ranking was 87th.
Although, it had currently dropped to 98th.
Lin Yuan had not been investing time into his private territory, so he did not expect that so many people had been ridiculing him for carelessly leaving his private territory's security access rights open.
Although Lin Yuan felt that this was rather ridiculous, he had no plans to stop this situation.
Those people who had come to join the crowd were only providing Sky City with free advance advertisement.
Lin Yuan did not plan on decorating the exterior of the private territory. Nonetheless, he and Hu Quan had put a lot of effort into the interior design.
Lin Yuan used the Star Web Card to bring in all the items and placed them on the floor of the large hall.
He hung all the jade-textured wood roulettes made by Hu Quan on the walls.
The jade-textured roulettes hanging all around the walls starkly contrasted with the white walls and created a classy atmosphere.
Then, Lin Yuan used the golden strings from the jade-textured phoebe zhennan and strung all the roulettes together.
There were a total of 108 jade-textured wood roulettes.
There was a notch in the center of every roulette where Lin Yuan placed a strand of Bronze/Epic Starlight Grass.
As a mainly decorative fey, the Starlight Grass could also release weak spirit qi.
The star patterns on the Starlight Grass's leaves swayed naturally.
The swaying movements of the Starlight Grass's leaves caused the roulette to turn, and in turn, each of the roulettes along the golden phoebe zhennan strings started to turn as well.
The weak spirit qi also caused the roulettes and golden phoebe zhennan strings to glow dimly.
The glowing golden strings and the shining Starlight Grass leaves lined up and seemed to form numerous constellations.
It could create the feeling of a star-filled sky during the daytime.
The turning roulettes looked like skipperless steering wheels turning in the sky.
In this artificial sky, these self-turning steering wheels seemed to be controlling the fates of mortals using the golden strings.
Now, the interior design of this private territory was utterly stunning.
