"To us, this isn't just a game. It's also a pure land away from the hustle and bustle …"
"Every tree, every blade of grass, every flower, and every tree here is so real."
"The five senses are completely reproduced, and the NPCs don't seem out of place …"
"If it weren't for the game system and the Bluestar network, I would really think that I've transmigrated to a world of swords and magic."
"I think I now truly understand the official words in the promotional video —"
"To create the most realistic, dense, immersive, and free epic fantasy in history!"
"The officials really want to depict a realistic world for us …"
As Li Mu sighed, he turned to the others and said with a smile,
"Speaking of which, we've been here for so long. Think carefully about what we've done?"
The few of them looked at each other.
"Chopping trees?"
"Sweeping the floor?"
"Flirting with NPCs?"
"…"
Li Mu was speechless.
He glared at Demacia, who was the last to speak, and continued.
"For the entire day, we've actually been doing manual labor. In reality, it's like carrying bricks! Who would be willing to do that? But look, there are hundreds of us, and we're all so excited that we're like idiots. We're so happy that we're chopping trees. Why do you think that's so? "
Demacia tugged at his red afro and said uncertainly,
"Can we run around naked here and let ourselves go?"
Li Mu was speechless.
He glared at the unreliable guy again and said, "You're right.
"It's immersive! Everything here is so real that we've subconsciously forgotten that this is a game. Here, it's like we've started another life. This is the essence of this game! "
When the others heard this, they felt the same way.
"Brother Mu, you're right. Now that you mention it, I feel the same way too. Maybe it's because the scenery in the forest is too beautiful. In this game, I feel like I've forgotten all my troubles. "
"Me too, me too. Sometimes I think how great it would be if this was a real world … Mysterious magic, endless adventure, it couldn't be better …"
Listening to his companions, Li Mu nodded.
"That's right. This kind of realistic immersion is the essence of 'Elven Nation'! The person who created this game is a genius! "
"But Brother Mu, what does this have to do with Alice's affection?"
Demacia asked.
Li Mu finished the berry in one bite, spat out a few seeds, and said, "I'm sorry.
"The same goes for the Favorability of NPCs. Since the core of this game is immersion, we can't just treat NPCs as NPCs. This isn't an ordinary game. You can't simply gain favorability by completing an NPC's quest. You have to communicate with the NPC from an equal point of view … "
As he spoke, Li Mu slowly stood up. He faced the bonfire and left the players with a deep back view. His voice became calmer and calmer, like a wise elder.
"As long as you're in the game, you should treat this as a real world. Similarly, you should respect NPCs, just like how you respect humans. Only in this way can you truly increase your favorability with them. I think this is the true intention of the game designer, and also the core of the Favorability System. "
"The reason why I can have 20 favorability with Alice is that I've never treated her as an NPC. Instead, I've treated her as a respectable Nature Priestess. It's because of my respect that I've gained her approval."
After hearing Li Mu's words, the players suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is!"
"No wonder no matter how many quests I've completed, Miss Alice's favorability has never been high."
"It's over, it's over! Why did I have the urge to touch an NPC in the first place … "
"Don't say anymore. Demacia, you just like to be pretentious."
Hearing the players teasing Demacia, Li Mu suddenly turned around and revealed a bright smile. His expression became somewhat mysterious.
"Actually, immersion is one thing, but what really made me fall in love with this game isn't just its realism."
"What's that?"
The players were stunned.
Li Mu chuckled and said,
"Don't you feel that as long as you put in effort in the game, there will be rewards? As long as you work, you'll see your EXP increase. Although it's very little, once you complete a quest, it'll increase by a lot … This feeling of reward is the core of all games! "
Hearing this, the players nodded.
"That's right! That's right! I feel the same way. "
"Although it's slow to chop down trees, the EXP is actually increasing, although it's very little."
"Although most games can be leveled up with hard work, I always feel that this game is more realistic and refreshing!"
"That's right! It's the perfect combination of realism and reward! "
"That feeling of being able to feel yourself getting stronger and stronger is too awesome!"
"Immersive use of magic is awesome!"
"And sword skills! I always thought that Cross Slash was cool! "
"Right, right!"
Seeing the players' agreement, Li Mu revealed a bright smile.
He swiped open his system interface and said to them,
"That's right, that's it. The combination of the feeling of harvest and the feeling of reality was the most wonderful. And what's even more wonderful is … "
After a slight pause, Li Mu clicked on the level up button under the expectant gazes of the players.
"Ding —"
Accompanied by the cute sound of the system, Li Mu rose to level 5 in a bright light.
Looking at the envious gazes of the players, Li Mu smirked, revealing his white teeth.
"It's only when I see your envious gazes when I level up …"
"…"
"Everyone, I'm sorry, but I'm one step closer to changing my profession. Everyone, work hard!"
"F * ck!"
… …
The players' revelry lasted until midnight.
Elves' bodies would still feel tired. For low-level creatures, sleep was essential.
Although the players could turn off the fatigue caused by lack of rest in the game system, they couldn't completely avoid the fatigue debuff.
Under such circumstances, the body's various abilities would decrease to a certain extent. In serious cases, it could even lead to death.
Therefore, except for a few liver kings, most players chose to rest after calculating the gains and losses. They planned to go offline and wait for a few hours to recover their strength before playing again.
By then, the sky in the game should be bright, and it would be more convenient for them to move around.
Countless players entered the wooden houses, huddled together and fell into a deep sleep. Their consciousness woke up in the Bluestar.
Li Mu also chose to go offline.
After exiting the game cabin, he looked at his watch and realized that only four hours had passed. It was as if the long period of entertainment was just a dream.
He took a deep breath and felt his heart surging. For the first time, he had the urge to continue playing a game.
"This will be a great game that will go down in history!"
After a moment of exclamation, Li Mu turned on the computer and prepared to write a quick review based on his experience in the game.
This time, he was going to blow up!
