Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Chapter 416: Visiting Nexus City At Long Last! & Planta's Enormous Popularity!
Ding!
[Welcome to Nexus City, the place where all Players can come to relax, battle in the arena, join various guilds, buy and sell products, and explore the Endless Labyrinth Tower!]
When we finally arrived, I looked around in surprise. This place was sure huge! It was an immense medieval-styled city which was as big as the eye could see. There were large walls protecting the city, surrounding it. And aside from hundreds of thousands of players, I also saw some unique NPC that lived in here.
This place was actually the Capital of a Faraway Kingdom in another continent named Nexus City. Apparently, according to the lore I read, this place was designed by the gods for Players, but the Kingdom in here also decided to offer their help, serving the Players and helping them in their various necessities as some sort of deal with the Gods.
There were big buildings everywhere, some as big as over ten floors, the style of buildings was more reminiscent of renaissance than medieval. There were probably over a million players in this place already, and probably a bit over that number in the NPC department, the natural inhabitants of this world. If there was anybody that was born in this world that knew players the best, was in here.
Although the normal inhabitants didn't bath us an eye, many Players noticed our arrival in here. My friends were enchanted by the beauty of the city, which was completely illuminated using large lamps fueled with magic crystals.
"Woah, so this is the city we can go anytime we want?! This place's amazingly beautiful!" Achlys was going insane.
"Ahh, I had visited this once before but this is really a beautiful city, isn't it?" Titan sighed.
"So pretty! And so many people everywhere..." Lily seemed the most enchanted.
"Seems like this is your first time visiting this place." Angelina laughed. "Well, let us guide you to the area where we can make Guilds, the Guild Confederation, which manages all other Player Guilds."
"Alright!"
As we walked down the beautiful streets, our party, which was filled with many people of different appearances, even some rather fancy-looking queens such as Titania, brought the attention of many people.
"Hey, are those newbies?"
"A lot of them are level 70 but... what with those other super high-level players?!"
"A Level 200 Player? What is she doing with a bunch of newbies?"
"W-Wait a second... Those Player names..."
"Eh? Huh?"
"Hey! Wait a second!"
"This can't... be! They're here? She's here!"
Suddenly, hell broke loose. Hundreds of players finally realized who we were, although they seemed mostly fixated on me from all of us! Indeed, "Player Planta" was probably the most popular topic in the game right now.
The gameplay videos I had uploaded had reached over 700k views by now, and just this morning I had even received an email of my ad revenue payment, it was almost 4k Canadian dollars... it was only a few videos, but ad revenue worked the more people watched the videos. I happily accepted the money though. Although it is not enough to drop my job... yet.
"Agh, right! I forgot, you're super popular!" Sighed Rosemary.
"Certainly, she's more popular than the first ranker of this server..." Sighed Angelina.
"Ahahah, right... I wonder who that is." Rosemary giggled.
The Players kept approaching as they all swarmed our surroundings. A lot of them were asking for an autograph somehow. And others were asking if they could take a selfie with me! Am I some sort of e-celeb now?!
"Please take a selfie with me!"
"Can you sign this piece of cloth?!"
"Please Planta let me give you a handshake!"
"Can we make a video together?! Anything is fine!"
"Planta you're so sexyyyyy~~~!"
"Man she's hotter than in the videos..."
"Is it really a girl IRL though? Maybe its just a perverted old man or something hahaha!"
"Oi shut up! Our Queen Planta is surely a motherly, and beautiful woman IRL!"
"Please crush me with your thighs!"

[You earned 9 Fame!]
[Your Fame has increased greatly!]
[Your CHM Stat has increased!]
W-What with the Fame increasing?! Is people giving me Fame?!
In this game, there's a very easy Fame System. People gain the ability to increase or decrease someone else's Fame by 1 point each day. It is mostly a vanity thing, but it seems that by increasing it a lot, you gain new perks such as titles, skills, and even a new stat altogether.
"E-Everyone... I... I am really happy you like me and stuff but I am busy right now..." I sighed, apologizing to everyone.
"Yeah!" Mark said, suddenly stepping in with Rita.
"That's right! She's busy right now! If you want to ask her for something you'll have to deal with her managers." Rita said with a cheeky smile.
"W-Wait, those are her friends, Titan and Achlys?!"
"They're also super rookies!"
"I am pretty sure they were in the high rankings of world boss damage too!"
"Holy shit she even got managers, she's surely popular!"
"Guys look, her first video reached a million views already!"
"Huh?! Really?!"
It seems that as we made our way to the Guilds Confederation, my videos views were increasing exponentially! Why was that? Because I showed up to the public?
"Please Planta give me your autograph!"
"Become my wife! I will give you as much Gold as you want!"
"Accept my gift, please! I made these cookies for you!"
"I made this pie!"
"And I crafted this shield, please use it!"
Suddenly, even more people showed up, mostly those of the Crafting and Cooking Guilds that began to gift me all manners of items for free! What the heck?!
"T-Thank you... Thank you for your gifts..." I sighed, storing it all inside my inventory.
And as we were about to finally reach the building...
A group of high-level players stopped us, they were all wearing black suits and looked professional!
"Hello Planta, we heard you were here so we couldn't miss out. I am the representative of Arcadia News, an agency that recruits great talents and celebrities of BNLO. We would like to offer you an exclusive contract to edit and upload your videos. Of course, you will be paid amazingly well! You're a rising star after all!"
"EH?! M-Me? A rising star...?"
This was going a bit too fast!
