In the morning, Josiah opened his eyes and was once again enveloped by that suffocating feeling.
The sleeping Hiri hugged Josiah tightly like a brown bear.
In order not to disturb Hiri's sleep, Josiah took a long time to extricate himself from the Spellcaster lady's embrace.
"As expected, she put all her points into Strength?"
Josiah got off the bed and used his hand to comb through Hiri's long silver hair. She frowned slightly, as if sensing Josiah's movements, but she still didn't wake up.
Last night had been too tiring for Hiri.
Josiah changed his clothes and went straight to the second floor of the Hearthstone Tavern. When he entered the study, a crow was standing by the window, as if it had been waiting for a long time.
"Looks like you had a good night."
The Dark Elf's voice sounded from the crow's beak. She hopped a few times by the window, not intending to return to her original form.
"If you had been nearby last night, I might have stewed you into soup."
Josiah sat on the bench behind the desk and smiled at his chief reporter.
"I'm not interested in these things," the crow stared at Josiah and tilted its head slightly, "I have something to trouble you with."
"My help? How rare. Let me guess … your News Guild is having a financial dispute? "Josiah asked.
Ever since the Dark Elves had turned Black Pigeon from an information broker to a news reporter, Black Pigeon's business had grown with Josiah's help.
Not only was there an independent office building on Squirrel Street, but the number of employees had also increased by almost two times.
"Such a dispute doesn't exist." The crow flapped its wings and jumped onto Josiah's desk. "I'm already considering selling the 'magazine' and 'newspaper' you suggested. Although I don't think newspapers have much meaning with the Mana Net and television, magazines do have room for writing."
"Naming and bias problems? Mage Noland or Playboy. The former is more academic, while the latter is about Noland's fashion. There's also a gourmet magazine. Let's call it A Bite of Noland, "Josiah said.
"Although I didn't come here to ask you that question, but the three names you mentioned are not bad, I will remember them." The crow hopped around on the table a few more times, but denied his intentions.
"Alright then, Qianmian, why did you come looking for me so early in the morning?" Josiah gave up on guessing the Dark Elf's intentions.
"It's about your sister, Princess Freya. She wants to open the Weave Vault," the Dark Elf said.
"Does she want to buy something on the Mana Net?"
Josh was completely clueless about this fourth sister of his.
The only impression he had was that Fuya, Carolee and Dorothy formed the Minecraft trio, with Taylin and Hiri joining them occasionally.
Also, it was probably because he was unexpectedly good at games.
"Uhh … tell me what she wants to buy. I can send snacks or clothes to the Demon Realm for her," Josiah said.
Money was just a number and a tool in Josiah's eyes. Whether it was movies or Hearthstone, Josiah didn't have to worry about money.
Under these circumstances, even if Josiah wasn't familiar with his sister, buying her a bunch of presents was no problem.
"No, Princess Freya wants to use the money she earns to buy things." The Dark Elf sounded a little embarrassed.
"Wait, if I remember correctly, isn't Fu Ya locked up in the tower by father? How can she have a source of income like that … wait. "Josiah suddenly remembered something.
Before the Dark Elf could say anything, Josiah opened his Weave and entered a website called 'Weave Vision'.
This' Vision 'was a video website created by Josiah. It was set up less than three days ago. Compared to the Weave shopping website, the design was a little simpler. There were only three sections: Magic, Life and Games.
However, Josiah made it as perfect as he could. It basically had all the functions of a video website on Earth, except for … advertisements.
"So that's how it is."
Josiah directly clicked on the website's leaderboard. The video at the top of the leaderboard was called 'How to Clear Super Mario in the Shortest Time'.
It was a very simple name, but the number of views had already exceeded 30,000. Compared to the second place 'Wild Owl Breeding Guide' and the third place 'The One in Yellow You Don't Know', which only had 10,000 and 5,700 views respectively, it was already very scary.
The person who published this video was Fuya. Even the name had not been changed.
"Hmm … someone is really using the reward function I wrote."
Josiah clicked on the video. There was no explanation in the video. It only showed Mario using all kinds of controls that made Josiah gasp in amazement.
The other players who watched the video seemed to be impressed by Mario jumping up and down on the screen, teasing all kinds of monsters but remaining unscathed.
"The strength of the player at the top of the leaderboard …"
"Is it a girl? The controller's name seems to be a female. "
"The character used by the controller doesn't look like a dwarf at all. It's completely a nimble thief monkey."
"The Mario I'm playing is completely a dwarf who has lost his legs."
"The two in front! Do you have a problem with dwarves? "
Josiah glanced at the string of bullet comments floating across the screen.
In less than a few days after the Magic Net Vision went online, the spellcasters of Noland had roughly grasped its usage.
Apart from the bullet comments and the comment function below, Josiah had also specially written a reward function.
Just by relying on this video, Fuya had rewarded more than 15 gold coins in the 'bonus pool' at the bottom of the screen.
This was equivalent to a huge sum of money for the commoners of Noland.
If all this money was exchanged for snacks, it would be enough for a girl with a normal appetite to eat for an entire month.
"With Fuya's current popularity, she can indeed live independently."
Josiah looked at the comment section below. Apart from the comments that exclaimed 'Super Mario can be played this way', there were more comments that were concerned about Fuya's true identity.
The ID Fuya had long been famous in the gaming section of Noland. Not only did she occupy the leaderboard of various pixel games for a long time, but she also often posted some guides.
There were even many forum players who called Fuya 'mentor'.
"I don't think this is a good thing," the dark elf said.
"Why?" Josiah couldn't see any change in expression on a crow's face, so he could only use words to inquire about her thoughts, "This is also another form of publicity. Not only can filming movies and singing songs attract attention, but playing games can also do so."
"But it's not suitable for Princess Freya. She can't step out of the Realm of Devils," the dark elf said softly.
