In a gorgeous and dreamy manor in the City of Heaven's Chosen.
Little Salty Meow was bored out of its mind as it lay on a custom-made wooden recliner. As it swung its legs leisurely, it swiped open the web page in the game system and browsed through the video network, pondering which movie it should watch today …
Since the summer vacation, there was no one at home to take care of her. Apart from eating, she spent all her time in the game.
She was pretty much a useless cat.
After so many days, she was already level 40. She was the second player after Boxed Lunch to reach the max level.
Of course, unlike Boxed Lunch, who was full of liver, Salty Meow's rapid advancement was achieved by using contribution points. She hired other players to farm monsters with her in the Shadow Instance Dungeon in the Underground World. She did the killing alone and took all the EXP.
Rich people could do whatever they wanted.
Of course, there were also rumors that this famous "one of the two giants of real estate" in Elven Nation had earned back all the contribution points she spent by selling houses in the City of Heaven's Chosen …
Being able to spend money wasn't a skill. Being able to spend and earn at the same time was considered outstanding.
Salty Meow became more and more lazy after she reached the max level and changed all her equipment to the best mid-level Black Iron Legendary Equipment Set in the Exchange Shop.
Sigh, the advancement of a tycoon was so easy and boring.
Now, the only things that piqued her interest, apart from the main storyline and hidden plots that she didn't know when would come, were the various entertainment activities that players regularly held in the game and the interactions with Elven NPCs.
"Sigh … I don't know how long Merril is going to sleep on the World Tree. Without it, it's a lot more boring. I can't even fly in the sky to play. "
After randomly choosing a movie, Salty Meow looked in the direction of the World Tree and sighed softly.
At this moment, a beeping sound suddenly came from her chat.
Salty Meow held her chin with one hand and stirred a cup of homemade milk tea with the other. She listlessly opened the chat interface.
When she saw the message in the guild chat group, she was instantly energized and jumped down from the recliner.
"What? Another closed beta test? Fifty thousand people will be released this time? "
"Tsk tsk … this is going to become lively. Now that the map has been expanded, it feels like the people in the City of Heaven's Chosen have become much sparser! It was only lively during the bonfire party. Hmm, I wonder what new storyline will be added in this update … "
Salty Meow couldn't wait to open the official website. He was looking forward to seeing the announcement of the new version update and the fourth undeleted closed beta.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She slapped her thigh and immediately stood up.
"Oh, right! It was time to discuss the expansion of the residential area with Sister Gugu! When the new players come, there won't be enough houses in the City of Heaven's Chosen. Make a good plan. This will be a considerable amount of contribution points! "
After saying that, she drank the milk tea in one gulp. While calling for the Cuckoo Bird, she excitedly rushed out of her manor.
"Sister Gu Gu! Big business is coming! "
…
Southwest of the Elf Forest, in a dense forest.
A few tall silhouettes surrounded a huge triangular rhinoceros, attacking as they moved.
The triangular rhinoceros was stained with blood, and its speed was getting slower and slower.
Suddenly, one of the silhouettes flashed and appeared on top of the triangular rhinoceros.
It was Boxed Lunch.
The dagger in his hand flashed, and he used Serial Stab …
With a wail, the triangular rhinoceros was stabbed in the neck. Blood spurted out, and it slowly fell to the ground …
"Awesome! Captain, your attack speed is getting faster and faster! This is a Lower Silver-level defensive Demonic Beast! "
Looking at the triangular rhinoceros on the ground, Calabash, who was providing support, was excited.
Boxed Lunch nodded slightly and said, "It's not dead yet.
"He's not dead yet. Finish him off."
Calabash froze for a moment, then his face lit up with joy.
"Thank you, Boss!"
Finishing off a monster would earn the most experience points. Boxed Lunch was already level 40, but Calabash was not at the maximum level.
Obviously, Boxed Lunch was letting him experience points.
Calabash happily finished off the triangular rhinoceros, but he didn't maximize the experience points. Instead, he kept the monster's corpse.
According to the merchants in Maple Leaf City, the leather of the triangular rhinoceros was very suitable for making armor, and it could be sold for a good price.
Also, the players found that the meat of this monster was very delicious. It was a good choice whether they ate it themselves or sold it to other players.
It would be a waste if they turned it all into experience points.
After killing the triangular rhinoceros, the four team members swarmed forward and began to dissect the corpse with their daggers. They then put it into a storage ring that they exchanged for with their funds.
Boxed Lunch stood at the side, quietly looking at the minimap.
Their purpose for coming out this time was not only to hunt monsters, but also to look for the ruins in the west of the Elf Forest.
They quickly put away the spoils of war, and they were all very satisfied.
"Captain, what should we do next?"
The taunting tank in the team, the Elf Warrior "Optimist", asked.
Boxed Lunch frowned slightly and shook his head.
"No more exploring, let's go back."
"No more exploring?"
The few of them were stunned.
Boxed Lunch nodded and said,
"Look at the official website."
The few players heard and quickly opened the official website of the Elf Kingdom through the system network. Then, they saw the update notice in bold black font.
"It's the fourth closed beta … and this time, it's going to be maintenance and update for an entire day!"
Looking at the notice on the official website, Calabash understood.
He understood why Boxed Lunch said no more exploring.
According to the previous game updates, the players had found that time in the Elf Kingdom would not be paused with the updates.
In other words, even if the game was being maintained and updated, time in the Elf Kingdom would still be moving.
If you updated for ten minutes, forty minutes would have passed in the game.
It was said that this seemed to be caused by the game engine that was different from other virtual online games.
Of course, there was also a saying that the game developers designed this way to create a real alternate world so that the players could subconsciously ignore that this was a game.
In short, it was fine if the maintenance was only for ten minutes. If it was maintained for an entire day, it would be very dangerous for Boxed Lunch and the others to stay in the wild.
If the system was maintained for an entire day, it meant that they would not be able to come online for four days.
Usually, when they were doing long-distance exploration, they would take turns to go offline and rest to ensure that at least one of them could "stand guard". But this time, it was obviously not possible.
"Then let's go back first. Anyway, the minimap has been recorded, and the storage ring is almost full. After the update, we'll ride our own magic beasts and explore again."
The optimist sighed regretfully.
The other team members nodded one after another.
…
Maple Leaf Territory, in a small border town.
More than a dozen hooded figures were standing in a secluded hut.
They faced a holy statue of a goddess and kept praying devoutly.
Through the gap of the hood, their delicate and white skin could be seen, and their pointed ears could be faintly seen.
They were all elves.
A male elf with black hair and black eyes, wearing a hood, stood at the back of the crowd.
He looked at the blonde Selina Gale, who was preaching to the crowd at the front, while he held a pen and paper and wrote notes.
However, if one wanted to see what he wrote, perhaps no elf would be able to understand it.
It was a strange square word, neatly arranged, with a wonderful sense of beauty.
He was Li Mu, who had followed Selina back to the Oak Hand organization.
During this period, Li Mu had been acting as Selina's assistant, participating in the rescue of elven slaves and the missionary work of the Druidic Order. He was active around Maple Leaf City.
At this moment, he looked at the various notes he had made during this period of time and was deep in thought.
"Facts have proven that players can convert NPCs into believers of the goddess by preaching to them …"
"Only believers of the goddess have a chance to obtain the ability to issue daily missions, but most of them are ordinary white-colored mission NPCs …"
"Players who successfully preach will also be rewarded with contribution points and experience points, and the more devout the target of preaching, the higher the rewards …"
"Not only that, if the NPC is converted by preaching, the favorability will be very high, and there is a high chance of obtaining better missions from the target …"
"The target of preaching is not limited to elves, half-elves can do it too, and there are also successful humans …"
"However, the target of preaching the best is still elves, followed by half-elves, and as for humans … Although there are successful preachers, they are all human NPCs who originally participated in the Oak Hand organization. They have no faith to begin with, or are only shallow believers of other gods …"
"In short, preaching … Perhaps it is also another way to level up!"
"Of course, from the current situation, the benefits of preaching are still less than dungeons and clearing wild monsters, and even less than doing main missions and hidden plots …"
At this point, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
After giving up on a hidden plot, he finally had some gains.
Not only did he discover a new way to play preaching in the game, but he also recorded a lot of new map information.
He was prepared to organize these information from following the Oak Hand and make a video to upload to the internet to earn some extra money.
Just as he put down the notes, he suddenly saw a message from Demacia in the chat bar.
Li Mu opened it curiously, and Demacia's extremely recognizable loud voice immediately rang in his ears.
"Brother Mu! Brother Mu! Look at the official website! The fourth closed beta is coming! This time, there will be a total of 50,000 new players joining! Shouldn't we take this opportunity to expand the strength of our guild? "
A new closed beta?
Li Mu was slightly taken aback.
He quickly opened the official website and saw a new announcement.
"50,000 new players joining in one go … Looks like the future battlefield missions are going to be more lively!"
Looking at the announcement, Li Mu was also very excited …
A new closed beta, a new version, I wonder what new ways of playing will be added?
He was looking forward to it.
However, Demacia's voice message did not end there.
Li Mu opened the next message, and the other party's sly voice rang out again.
"Also … I think we can incorporate the Amway Trading Firm into our guild … It's too easy to make money from these NPCs! Everyone can make money together! "
Li Mu was speechless.
Is it because your pyramid scheme organization is short of manpower?
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart.
Recently, Demacia's reselling in Maple Leaf City had been doing very well, and the whole server knew about it.
After closing the chat bar, Li Mu's mood to return became more and more urgent.
"I've been away from the Elf Forest for so long, it's time to go back.
"Salty Meow is already level 40, and I'm only level 34. I'm lagging too far behind.
"I should take advantage of this version update to say goodbye to the Oak Hand and return to the City of Chosen One."
After taking a deep breath, Li Mu raised his head and looked out the window.
The golden sun hung high in the sky, and the warm sunlight scattered on his body, making him feel very comfortable.
From time to time, the chirping of birds could be heard, and it was very cheerful.
"Spring is coming …"
He sighed emotionally.
