Gather the power of all civilizations to cultivate paper figurine craftsmen!

Youlan Civilization.

Eastern Moon City.

Inside a small but exquisitely decorated room, a young girl sat nervously on a sofa.

She was the girl who awakened the ‘Paper Artisan’ profession four years ago, code-named ‘You Lian (#007)’.

This ‘007’ was different from Qin Feng’s 007; Qin Feng’s was self-assigned, while hers was automatically added by the system because her code name had already been taken by someone else…

Even the code name ‘You Lian’ was very common in the Youlan Civilization.

The reason she got the number 007 was also because the previous ‘You Lian’ with the number 007 had just died, allowing her to fill the position…

At this moment, the girl’s long purple hair was tied into a single ponytail, her father on her left, her mother on her right, waiting with great tension.

But soon, the door opened.

She had expected to see ‘Mr. Ying 007’, but instead, Moon Dance entered.

Moon Dance was wearing a tight-fitting armor with a black mask, her entire armor emanating a faint purple starlight, and a pair of bone-white twin blades were strapped to her waist…

Her appearance looked more like a warrior than a guild leader.

“Mr. Ying is too busy, so he won’t be coming over for now.”

After Moon Dance entered the room, she looked at You Lian, the Paper Artisan girl: “However, Mr. Ying has already given instructions for the Phoenix Order to help you. From now on, you will follow the Phoenix Order in their actions. They will be responsible for helping you level up and will provide you with samples for creating Living Paper Figures.”

“Don’t worry, all the lifespan consumed during your development will be covered by Mr. Ying.”

These words seemed to make You Lian, the girl, slightly relieved, but also a little regretful…

Originally, she was just an ordinary girl who had acquired a seemingly useless profession.

Meet Mr. Ying?

She wouldn't even dare to imagine it!

She never expected that Mr. Ying would actually need a profession like hers?

While this made You Lian, the girl, feel flattered, she was also a little uneasy, as she knew her own profession… If it were to truly play a role, the lifespan consumed would be far too much!

Nervous yet somewhat expectant, this was the girl’s state of mind.

Regarding the most powerful existence who had given hope to the entire civilization, You Lian, the girl, felt her heart race and her spirits soar just thinking about meeting him.

Now, hearing that Mr. Ying wouldn't be coming for now, she was naturally a little disappointed…

But she also understood that Mr. Ying was currently integrating the entire Youlan Civilization, so he must be very, very busy right now.

So the thing You Lian, the girl, worried about most was: “But… Guild Leader, my profession really doesn’t seem to have much use…”

“Currently, I’m only level 22, and I can only create paper figures of players no higher than level 27. Moreover, my profession has only advanced twice, and the paper figures I create can only copy five skills and three pieces of equipment from the target.”

“Even so, each time I make a paper figure, it consumes nearly a thousand years of lifespan, and the Living Paper Figure can only exist for two and a half minutes…”

You Lian couldn’t even imagine it.

If she were to create a Living Paper Figure of ‘Mr. Ying,’ how much lifespan would that consume?

At this moment, You Lian’s father asked worriedly from the side: “Guild Leader, I also had someone evaluate and calculate it before. Even if my daughter’s profession develops to the point where she can create a Living Paper Figure of Mr. Ying, each paper figure would consume at least several million years of lifespan. And each paper figure can only be used for three to five minutes…”

Hearing the father and daughter’s concerns.

Moon Dance couldn't help but smile: “Don’t worry. Mr. Ying said that your daughter’s development is currently the most important thing. With the entire Youlan Civilization cultivating her, are you still afraid of not having enough lifespan?”

“Later, when the Phoenix Order arrives, they will bring you candidates for creating Living Paper Figures. Their combat power is absolutely top-tier at level 27. Let You Lian create a thousand paper figures directly!”

“Then, You Lian can, under the protection of the Phoenix Order, rely on these paper figures to quickly level up by grinding monsters.”

“Every 5 levels, you can switch to a new target for creating paper figures, ensuring you reach level 45 at the fastest speed.”

These words directly shocked You Lian and her parents, who looked incredibly incredulous.

A level 27 paper figure, ultimately, was completely useless!

Even a paper figure with the top-tier combat power of level 27 couldn't possibly deal with the level fifty or sixty monster BOSSes currently spawning in the Great World.

But…

It could be used to clear out small monsters!

“A thousand paper figures, I’m afraid that would consume a million years of lifespan…”

“If one hundred paper figures were a batch, they could indeed clear out the current monsters quickly, but because the monster levels are too high, the experience efficiency wouldn’t be too fast either.”

You Lian and her parents couldn't even imagine it.

Originally, in their lives, consuming a hundred or two hundred days of lifespan per day was considered a lot, basically used for daily necessities, and that was already a super high quality of life.

And now…

To cultivate You Lian, Mr. Ying directly invested over a million years of lifespan!

And this was only the very initial investment!

Soon, Moon Dance received news that the Phoenix Order… had arrived!

She opened the door and saw none other than Ye Sina, the former Bishop of the Star Church!

Ye Sina was not part of the Phoenix Order, but she was responsible for personally protecting You Lian, the girl.

As for the Phoenix Order, it was a recently established combat organization, led by the Terminator. However, the Terminator was currently occupied with various matters concerning the Forged Steel Clan and couldn't come, so it was temporarily under the command of the vice-leader, ‘Zhu Bi’.

Zhu Bi was one of the bishops of the Star Church, and now he was a level 4 devoted fan of Grey Chicken!

The Phoenix Order was a combat organization that worshipped Grey Chicken as their faith. With Qin Feng's tacit approval, the Terminator and Zhu Bi selected many 'ambitious individuals' from various clans in the Youlan Civilization, and after they joined, they were given concentrated training.

This combat group would, in the future, be Qin Feng's personal enforcer team, led by Grey Chicken!

At this time.

Ye Sina and Bishop Zhu Bi came together to secretly take You Lian, the girl, away.

Immediately after… it was about spending a massive amount of lifespan to cultivate You Lian, the girl!

…

“As long as the Paper Artisan can grow and create Living Paper Figures that replicate my skills, many things will become much more convenient.”

“However, this profession indeed consumes too much.”

“To cultivate her to the point where she can create Living Paper Figures of me in the fastest way, it would probably cost hundreds of millions of years of lifespan, and to replicate my skills and equipment, the lifespan consumed for creating Living Paper Figures is even unimaginable…”

Qin Feng received a private message from Ye Sina, saying that the person had been picked up and was already taking the Paper Artisan to level up.

The leveling method was very simple and brutal.

Because teaming up with high-level players in God Forsaken Game would result in severe experience decay.

Therefore, the Paper Artisan only needed to create Living Paper Figures of a higher level than herself, and then use those Living Paper Figures to kill monsters. In this way, the experience decay could be minimized!

According to the Star Church under Ye Sina’s command, they estimated that leveling up this way, in the early stages, would allow for about 5 levels per day.

Under ideal circumstances, going from level 22 to level 45 would basically take about a week, but the lifespan consumed during this period would definitely exceed one hundred million, and this was based on the premise that the wild monster spawns in the current Youlan Civilization were fast enough!

However, Qin Feng did not agree with this estimate.

Because it was quite clear that creating Living Paper Figures was not just about having lifespan; it also required creation time.

As You Lian, the girl’s level increased, the higher the level of the Living Paper Figures she created, the longer the creation time required, and she would soon be unable to keep up with her usage demands.

By then, the time she could spend leveling up each day would become shorter and shorter, and her leveling speed would naturally become slower and slower…

Therefore, in Qin Feng’s estimation, it would probably take 10-12 days to complete the journey from level 22 to level 45.
