The cicadas outside the window kept chirping. The scorching summer had reached its final peak.
Gu Qing wore a cool camisole and sat in front of her desk.
Her shoulder-length hair had been tied up high into a simple ponytail. The rotating fan gently blew the strands of hair on her cheeks, dispersing the scorching heat of the summer slightly …
Gu Qing didn't like the air conditioner.
She preferred to listen to the sound of the fan and the chirping of the cicadas. It was a different feeling of summer.
This kind of situation reminded her of the feeling of her hometown when she was young.
In this kind of situation, she was able to think more deeply about the problem.
On the desk, there were some papers that were filled with words and drawings that were scattered about.
Gu Qing twirled her pen and looked at the papers on the desk …
The handwriting on the paper was very strange. It was a strange combination of parentheses and cuneiform. It was very complicated.
The paper on which the picture was drawn was a hand-drawn map.
On the map, there were Chinese words such as Heaven's Chosen City, Elf Forest, Black Dragon Castle, Fei Lengcui, and so on.
This … was a map of "Elf Kingdom"!
In the northeast of the map, there was a place marked in red with a question mark. The words "King's City" were written on it.
"I didn't expect the Elf Tribe to have a King's City. If I hadn't started reading a lot of books, I wouldn't have known!"
Gu Qing thought.
She was a beta tester of "Elf Kingdom".
Game ID: Gugu Bird.
At this moment, Gu Qing looked at the paper in her hand and her eyes lit up.
Those who knew her knew that this was a sign that she was in a good mood.
"This … I'm afraid it's another big relic! And judging from the location, maybe after this version update, we can explore it from a distance! "
Gu Qing was a little excited.
There were seven large Elf Cities in the Elf Forest!
Gu Qing had read about it from a book.
These seven large cities were the Elf King's City, Fei Lengcui, Rivendell, Kenoran, Milovia, Crystal City, and Icebound Valley.
Among them, Fei Lengcui and Rivendell had already been explored by players and left behind a teleportation portal.
As for the other five cities, the players hadn't come into contact with them yet.
Nevertheless, Gu Qing learned a lot about the coordinates of other cities through the ancient books.
Among them, Kainoran was in the southwest of the Elven Forest. According to the description, it was a magnificent city built in a sea of flowers. Milovia was a beautiful coastal city in the west. As for Crystal City and Icebound Valley … they were both in the north of the Elven Forest.
With the current range of activity of the players, these areas were still out of reach.
These places were all more than 300 kilometers away from the core area of the Elf Forest.
Although the core area of the Elven Forest was called the core area, it was not the center of the Elven Forest.
In fact, the entire Elven Forest was vast, and the so-called core area was just the place where the World Tree grew.
The place where the World Tree grew was only the southeastern part of the Elf Forest.
Of course, apart from these cities, there were other ruins left behind by the Elves in the Elf Forest.
The players also discovered many small towns and villages.
However, these ruins were very poor. Apart from some Goblins, the players did not find anything good.
No, there were still some.
Some lucky players found God's Blood Crystals.
One crystal was worth 800 Contribution Points, which was a small profit.
However, apart from Fei Lengcui and Rivendell, the closest city to the core area of the Elf Forest was the Elf King's Capital.
However, looking at the location of the Elf King's Capital, Gu Qing frowned. She nodded for a while, then shook her head.
"No … That's not right."
She took out a piece of paper filled with strange words. She looked at it carefully and frowned.
"It's clearly written here that the Elf King's Capital is in the middle of the Elf Forest. It's surrounded by beautiful oak trees, and there's a tall and holy statue of a goddess …"
Gu Qing muttered to herself and took out another piece of paper.
"But this one also says that the Elf King's Capital is 400 kilometers northeast of the World Tree …"
Gu Qing frowned and picked up the hand-drawn map.
"However, according to the map, the Elf Forest is 300 kilometers northeast of the World Tree. So, the Elf King's Capital is outside of the Elf Forest?"
"And … that should be a human country, right? I think it's called the Holy Mania Empire. Merril even robbed livestock there before. "
"Could it be that this ancient book is wrong?"
Gu Qing was getting more and more confused.
She couldn't figure it out, so she rubbed her temples and put the paper down.
She looked at her watch and found that it was already past 12 o 'clock in the afternoon.
Gu Qing's expression relaxed in an instant.
"It's time to go online."
"What are you thinking about? Since you don't understand, I'll ask Alice directly. The elves must know where the Elf King's Capital is."
Thinking of this, Gu Qing stood up from her seat.
She stretched lazily, finished her takeout in a few bites, and threw it into the trash can. Then, she walked over to the Heart Immersion Cabin, put on her hair mask, and lay down inside …
"Activate … Elf Kingdom!"

Equipment binding?
Gu Qing was dazed.
It also needed contribution points to maintain it?
That was too much!
"It's a personal binding function anyway. I wonder if it's expensive."
"Well, the new map is within my expectations."
Thinking of this, Gu Gu Bird logged into the game …
[Logging in …]
[Game ID: Gu Gu Bird]
[The Chosen One, welcome back to Elf Kingdom!]
With the familiar sound of the system, the scene in front of Gu Qing suddenly changed.
No.
It was Gu Gu Bird now.
A strong sense of weightlessness came, and Gu Gu Bird's vision blurred.
When she regained control of her body, she was already lying in the bedroom of her private villa in the City of Chosen One.
Gu Gu Bird opened her eyes and got up from the bed.
However, the moment she got up, she couldn't help but sneeze.
"Achoo! Ouch … It's so cold. "
She sniffed and shivered slightly. Only then did she realize that she didn't close the window properly when she went offline.
Gu Gu Bird adjusted the temperature slightly, then walked to the window and reached out to close it.
However, when she came to the window, she was stunned.
She hadn't seen him for a night.
The City of Chosen One was already covered in a vast expanse of white.
There were still sparkling snowflakes floating in the sky.
The snowflakes were falling slowly, and it was beautiful.
On the streets, a group of players, who had come online at some point in time, were shouting and chasing each other like children in the snow …
Winter was coming.
It was snowing in the Elf Forest.
