In a small garden in the City of Heaven's Chosen, Li Mu was doing the daily task of taking care of the little elf loli and the little boy.
This task was assigned to him by Alice.
In the beginning, this task was just to help Ayr take care of his sisters.
But with the return of Nightingale, her younger brothers and sisters also joined in.
These young elves would follow Alice and Filosier to learn knowledge for half a day every day, and then they would have two hours of exercise time.
During the exercise time, the chosen ones were responsible for taking care of the children.
For the players, this was an idle task.
Because they could take care of the children while also practicing their own skills. They could also farm the NPCs … especially the little elves' favorability.
Unfortunately, this task was not something that anyone could accept.
Only players who had the trust of the Saintess would be assigned this task.
And as one of the few players who had raised Alice's favorability to 80, only Li Mu and Cuckoo Bird could accept this task.
Alice was the only NPC in the entire server with a purple frame, and the richness of her task rewards was second only to the goddess.
So … this was almost free experience and contribution points.
In fact, it was not only Alice. Now that the favorability display had been opened, all the NPCs that Li Mu had dealt with had a high favorability.
Even Nightingale, who had only seen him a few times, had a favorability of 40.
As for Alice, Basaka, and the young elves he often took care of, many of them had a favorability of more than 60.
As long as one was a believer of Eve, the favorability display would be opened for other players.
Although Ayr and Nightingale's younger brothers and sisters were young, after their elder brothers and sisters accepted the faith, they also became believers of Eve, so their favorability would also be displayed.
Of course, they were still only shallow believers, so they could not give out tasks.
However, even if they could not give out tasks, the little loli and the little boy's favorability had aroused the interest of the players.
For most creatures, the cuteness of a child far surpassed that of an adult.
As elves with outstanding appearance, they were even more adorable when they were young.
Those pure big eyes, soft and tender skin, coupled with delicate and pleasant facial features, she was simply like a doll bestowed by the heavens. She was also like a little angel that had walked out of a fairy tale, unconsciously arousing a person's desire to protect her …
Therefore, the popularity of the little elves soared among the players, quickly surpassing Alice and becoming an existence second only to the goddess Eve.
Many players had come to join in the fun, trying all kinds of tricks to please the little elves in order to make them smile and then sweetly call them elder brothers and sisters.
Well … while they were at it, they took a screenshot, recorded a video, and then posted it on the forum to show off.
Of course, there were also some wacky guys who wanted to coax the little elves to coax them to say strange things …
However, those players were quickly chased away by Li Mu and Coot, who were taking care of the children.
One of the requirements of their quest was to prevent the young elves from being taught strange knowledge by the players.
However, unlike the simple-minded and easily deceived naughty children, the little elves were very vigilant.
If one could not be patient and calm down to communicate with them, it would be difficult to gain their friendship.
What the players lacked the most was patience …
Unless there was a huge benefit.
Unfortunately, except for some lifestyle players, the attraction of the little elves to them was limited to the level of mascot.
After all, not everyone was as beautiful and good-looking as the goddess, who could also provide a huge reward for the mission.
Therefore … many people gave up after their initial interest had worn off.
Of course, Li Mu was not among them.
He was the first player to gain the trust of the children.
For this reason, the other players even gave him the nickname "Friend of the NPC."
In fact, there were many players who envied Li Mu's relationship with the NPCs.
However, most people did not have the temperament to deal with the NPCs as equals.
In other words … although gaining favorability could bring benefits to the players, it was also limited.
If they had the time to gain favorability, they preferred to fight more monsters and do more missions.
Except for some private missions, in fact, as long as the favorability with the NPCs was above a positive number, it was enough to accept their missions.
For most players, the cost of time to gain a higher favorability with the NPCs was not proportional to the reward.
Of course, there were also some introverted players who were really not good at communication and did not know how to deal with the NPCs.
Not to mention the NPCs, this part of the players had a headache in the real world when it came to interpersonal communication …
In addition, the elves were too honest.
Even if they received the gift of the "mission system" from Mother Goddess, they were serious when issuing missions. They believed that the mission system was sacred and could not be based on their preferences. It should be relatively fair and just …
In fact, this kind of thing was also very common in the Bluestar.
Sometimes, the leader only said one sentence, and the subordinates would imagine a lot of things. In fact, the leader did not care about a lot of things and even said that it was unnecessary work. Sometimes, the results were even opposite …
…
Just as Li Mu and Alice's agreed time to take care of the baby was about to expire, suddenly, a familiar heart-wrenching howl came from afar.
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu! Did you see it? New equipment came out! Dozens of sets came out! Oh my god! "
Li Mu turned his head and saw Demacia walking over with a sad face.
He pondered for a moment and asked Cuckoo Bird to pick him up in the friend list. Then, he looked at Demacia and asked,
"I saw it. What's wrong?"
Demacia shook his head and sighed.
"It's over, it's over. A while ago, I promised on the official website that there would be no new equipment in the short term. In the end, I was slapped in the face in an instant …"
Li Mu was speechless.
"Who told you to pretend to be fat and play the equipment evaluation?"
He shook his head.
"Who knew that the equipment would be updated so quickly! Sigh … It seems that I have to work hard again. I originally planned to save up contribution points to exchange for a defensive gold equipment that could resist beatings. "
Demacia was heartbroken.
After saying that, he looked at Li Mu in confusion.
"By the way, Brother Mu, aren't you in a hurry to exchange for new equipment? Why do I feel that ever since you completed the Half-Orc main storyline mission, you have rarely worked? "
"Why don't … we go explore Rivendell together? A lot of people are running over there now. "
"Now, the Internet is full of Rivendell exploration videos. Oh … By the way, I remember you said a few days ago that you were short on money recently. Why don't we explore together? You can also make a video to earn some extra money? "
He said with some anticipation.
Li Mu shook his head and replied,
"I have enough equipment."
"Enough for what? Brother Mu, didn't you see the system? The new purple epic-level Black Iron-level equipment! The equipment score is several times higher than the purple and black ones! "
Demacia mumbled.
After saying that, he was a little puzzled.
"Besides, it doesn't feel like you are busy. You take care of Alice's child every day … I heard that yesterday you went to find the new Miss Nightingale. Are you trying to gain favorability? But is it necessary to increase your reputation so much? "
Li Mu was speechless.
He thought for a moment and scratched his head.
"It's not what you think. It's still useful … I think it's just that the game officials haven't fully played the role of favorability."
"The theme of 'Elven Nation' is the rise of the elves. We are not the only ones representing the elves, but also the NPCs! And this game focuses on immersion, so I think our relationship with the NPCs is still very important. "
"Believe me, the game officials will make a move on favorability sooner or later. The sooner we get favorability, the better. When there are more players in the future, it might not be easy to get favorability. "
Demacia heard this and shook his head.
"Brother Mu, to be honest, I don't think the effect of favorability is very big. My reputation is still 0, but didn't I successfully accept missions? "
"Besides, it's time for you to level up. You've been too lazy recently. Even I'm level 18. I'm two levels ahead of you!"
"There's also … equipment! With new equipment, shouldn't we update it? "
Demacia pointed excitedly at the exchange interface of the system and said.
"I already have the equipment."
Li Mu shook his head.
He took out a rough staff and showed his robe that had obviously been modified.
"I picked up the Half-Orc high priest's equipment before. I brought back his staff and priest robe. Here … I modified them and put them on."
Demacia was speechless.
"Holy sh * t, so the one who picked up the Half-Orc boss' equipment was you, Brother Mu!"
He widened his eyes.
Li Mu nodded and said, "The system has been verified.
"The system has appraised them. They are all White Normal Lower Silver Equipment. Although there are no special effects, the rating is about the same as gold equipment. So, I don't plan to exchange for better equipment before there is one. "
Demacia was speechless.
"Damn, why didn't I think of picking up the boss' equipment back then!"
He was heartbroken and envious.
While the two were talking, a system message suddenly floated across the vision of all the players —
[Ding —]
[Announcement: 'Elven Nation' will be patched the next day. The estimated time is 10 minutes. All players, please prepare to go offline in advance.]
