Considering that Tu Tong and Lan Ling might not be able to pass the phantom city gatekeeper's test, Virtuoso did not inform them to follow. Instead, they led Lin Huang and Saber9 through the gates.
Lin Huang had thought that they would arrive at phantom city once they passed through the gates. However, he had not expected to see nothing but white space before him.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, Virtuoso's voice came from the side.
"Everyone needs to create a persona for themselves before entering phantom city. You can imagine yourself as any race and appearance. After that, in phantom city, your appearance will be whatever you imagine it to be.
"Apart from race and appearance, you also have to set up your personality, hobbies, skills, divine abilities, rules, sequence powers, and other information.
"After that, in the Magical Fantasy City, we must play this role at all times. If we leave the role, we'll be kicked out of phantom city directly. "
'An RPG, huh?' Lin Huang thought to himself. It sounded similar to many role-playing games that he had played in the past.
However, this was a real person role-playing game, not a game character on a computer or mobile phone.
"Can't I bring all my skills and divine abilities with me?" Lin Huang brought up the point that he was more concerned about.
"Theoretically, it has to match the persona." Virtuoso smiled and shook their head. "After all, it doesn't make sense for you to set yourself up as a snake monster with no limbs to be a sword cultivator or sword cultivator.
"However, there are loopholes in this as well." Virtuoso continued, "For example, my persona is a masked freak. My settings for my skills and divine abilities are to have all sorts of amazing and unbelievable techniques. My persona is inherently mysterious, and there are no specific settings for my skills and divine abilities, but they include my own abilities. With this setting, I can use most of my abilities when I enter phantom city.
"Or perhaps, you can learn from me." Saber9, who was standing off to one side, took over the conversation. "I've set myself up as an all-around weapon master who can use all kinds of weapons. This persona basically includes all my skills as a sword cultivator, and I can use many non-sword cultivator techniques as well. "
The duo's conversation gave Lin Huang a lot of inspiration. Soon, he began working on his persona.
"Persona: Mysterious
"Race: Suspected to be Protoss, Fallen Protoss, or human
"Characteristics: Wears a black robe and a black mask
"Combat Strength: Unknown
"Cultivation Direction: Unknown
"God Territory: Unknown
"Skills: Unknown
"Divine Abilities: Unknown
"Rules: Unknown
"Order: Unknown
"…
When Virtuoso and Saber9 saw that Lin Huang had donned a black robe and that his physique had become much more muscular, as well as that the aura around him had begun to become strange and inexplicable, they knew that he had already mastered the essentials of the character design. They said nothing more and began setting up their own characters.
They stopped talking and began working on their persona. His hair, which was originally tied up in a bun, was now completely bald and full of scars. His long hair, which Saber9 Saber9.
His appearance was about sixty to seventy percent similar to before, but his temperament was no longer as elegant and otherworldly as before. Instead, he seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Next to him, Virtuoso did not seem to have changed much. They had changed into gorgeous attire, and the mask on their faces had turned golden. They also had a black staff in their hands. "Aren't you … afraid of being recognized?" Lin Huang could not help asking. His voice had become much deeper and hoarser.
"Aren't you … afraid of being recognized?" Lin Huang could not help asking. His voice had become much deeper and hoarser.
He asked this because the famous geniuses in the God Territory were basically on the other tribes' hunting lists. Among the True Gods, Virtuoso was a top-ranking powerhouse. Many tribes outside of the God Territory saw them as a thorn in their side. Naturally, they were on the Abyss's hunting list. If they were recognized, it would inevitably lead to some trouble.
"Don't worry. There are all kinds of transformations in Phantom City. Not many people will notice us. Moreover, even if they do, not many will connect it to me. "Virtuoso was fearless. They did not seem worried at all.
As soon as they finished talking about themselves, they turned to look at Saber9. "What's up with you? Do you have too much hair or too few hands? "
"I wanted to try out what it's like to slash people with many hands, but I thought it would be too ugly to transform into a multi-armed monster in the Abyss …" Saber9 explained in all seriousness, "So, I thought of the Buddha Nation's Thousand-Armed Buddha."
"Isn't your bald head ugly too?!" Virtuoso retorted without holding back.
"Do you believe I won't test my sword on you?" Saber9 lifted his head and stared at Virtuoso calmly.
Seeing that the two of them looked like they would come to blows at the slightest disagreement, Lin Huang frowned slightly. He took a step forward and stood between the two of them.
"Let's get down to business. Finish your disguise quickly and enter Phantom City! "
Only then did Virtuoso and Saber9 notice that not only was Lin Huang completely wrapped in a black robe, but even his aura was so ethereal and mysterious that it was impossible to tell what was real.
Virtuoso looked at the pitch-black area under the hood. They probed with Divine Telekinesis, but it was completely blocked. "You're wearing a mask too?"
Although they did not see or sense the mask, Virtuoso could guess what it was.
"Yes," Lin Huang's answer was very simple.
In reality, he had cleverly incorporated Thousand Face into his own persona, enhancing the mysteriousness of his persona.
"Have you set up your persona and skills?" Virtuoso asked, not delving into Lin Huang's changes any further.
Lin Huang nodded. "From now on, my name is Hermit."
"I'll be Thousand Hands," Saber9 announced his name as well.
"Let me think …" Virtuoso did not announce their names right away. Instead, they cupped their chin and thought for a moment. After a while, they spoke again, "I'll be called Mask."
"You guys can also call me Little Face …" Virtuoso smiled at Lin Huang and Saber9 after coming up with a name.
The two of them turned around and left right away, ignoring him.
"You guys don't like it? If you don't, you can call me Little Jiguo … "
"Let's go, Little Naggy." Lin Huang directly ignored the two disgusting nicknames Virtuoso had suggested and gave them another nickname.
"That's good." Saber9 gave them hundreds of thumbs up.
"You bald monster, you're actually siding with an outsider. We've known each other for so many years, yet you're working with this little brat to give me a nickname?! "
"Let me correct you on three points," Saber9 said in all seriousness, "First, I'm bald, not bald. There's a fundamental difference between a shaved head and a naturally shaved head. Second, my Primordium and your Primordium have indeed known each other for many years, but this is only the second time we've met. We don't know each other very well. Third, I didn't give you this nickname, I'm just expressing my approval … "
