Jasmine Undermoon quickly logged out and returned to the real world.
Unlike in the game where she had just finished eating and drinking ale, she felt a strong sense of hunger the moment she left the cabin.
"If only I could eat my fill in the game, I could eat my fill in the real world as well."
She muttered to herself, stretched, and began to order takeout.
After ordering takeout, she left the cabin and began to wash up.
Jasmine Undermoon was a 24-year-old single woman who graduated from university three years ago. Her real name was Su Lili.
Now, she was working in a public institution within the system, and her favorite pastime was playing games.
Her gaming skills were top-notch. If not for her family's objection, she would have become a professional gamer while still in university.
However, compared to the story of the game, she preferred fighting. Especially the kind of close combat games where fists met flesh. The stronger the impact, the more she liked it.
After virtual online games became popular in the world, she, like many others, became addicted to stealth games.
"Elven Kingdom" was the new treasure she had discovered these few months.
In fact, she regretted not discovering this game in the first place.
"It's all because I was too busy with work and addicted to other games. Otherwise, I wouldn't have missed out on Elven Nation's beta test!"
"But it's not too late now. It's more challenging to start later. Not bad!"
Jasmine Undermoon's lips curled up as if she had thought of something.
She liked games that were challenging.
Of course, the premise was that they did not involve the long and boring story of the game.
She had always skipped the story of the game. The only things that interested her were leveling up and PvP.
However, PvP in Elven Nation had many restrictions. Not only did it require a dedicated venue, but it also required contribution points. This made her a little unhappy.
Fortunately, although she had always looked down on and disliked PvE, the monster system in "Elven Kingdom" was really well done. It was very realistic and exciting, and the battles were not inferior to traditional PvP. She was very addicted to it.
This was different from other MMOs where you just had to kill monsters.
In "Elven Kingdom", every time you fought a monster, it was unique.
In the beginning, Jasmine Undermoon was not used to this kind of realistic combat and was a little flustered.
Of course, like most pro players, she picked it up very quickly.
Now, she even had the illusion that with the combat skills she had cultivated in the game, she might be able to show them off in real life.
However, with her frivolous online personality and social phobia in real life, she probably wouldn't be able to show off when the time came …
However, with Jasmine Undermoon's personality, she didn't expect to show off in real life. She only wanted to show off in the game.
The goal she set for herself was to reach the peak of the combat power ranking before the next closed or open beta test, and defeat Boxed Lunch who had dominated the ranking for a long time!
Today happened to be the weekend, and there was no need to go to work, so Jasmine under the moon had more free time.
She took a shower, ate her takeout, went to the bathroom, and browsed the entertainment news for a while …
After settling her personal matters that could only be settled in real life, Jasmine Undermoon once again entered the stealth cabin.
The maintenance time for the big update had passed, and it was time to go online.
After putting on her helmet, she gave the same voice instruction that she had given countless times.
"Activate — Elven Nation!"
[Ding!]
[Game connected successfully …]
[Discovered new version, Elven Nation 1.9]
[Update V1: Open the priest profession …]
[Update V2: Open the missionary function …]
[Update V3: Open the Divine Favored System …]
[Version updating …]
[Ding! Update successful]
[Logging in …]
[Game ID: Jasmine under the moon]
[God's Chosen One, welcome back to Elven Nation!]
… …
With the familiar system voice, Jasmine under the moon returned to the virtual world.
Her vision suddenly darkened as the opening animation of Elven Nation began.
Jasmine under the moon had always skipped the opening animation, at most she would watch it the first time she played the game.
However, when she was about to skip it, her heart skipped a beat and she stopped.
It was because the opening animation of Elven Nation had changed again.
"The developers are really addicted to opening animations, they have to make one every time they update."
Jasmine under the moon muttered in her heart.
However, although she muttered, she didn't skip it.
Although she didn't like the story and didn't like interacting with NPCs, the opening animation of Elven Nation was still a bit interesting.
In any case, using the participation of the players to drive the story and form the opening animation was indeed a very intentional move in her eyes.
However, when she thought that today's animation would still be "praising" the achievements of the players, the facts surprised her.
With the ethereal and deep background music, the scene in her vision slowly unfolded … …
As the scene unfolded, there was a deep and powerful voice:
"For the return of the Mother Goddess, I am willing to pay any price."
The scene gradually lit up and what appeared in front of her was a ruined church. A handsome half-elf was facing a statue and praying.
Behind him, there were hundreds of hooded elves kneeling.
They had solemn expressions and carried their luggage as if they were preparing for a long journey … …
"Who is this? NPC?”
Jasmine under the moon was a bit confused.
Just when she felt that the new animation was a bit different, her vision suddenly lit up.
She had returned to the tavern room in Elven Nation … …
"That's it? There's only one character? "
Jasmine under the moon was a bit stunned.
This doesn't seem like the style of Elven Nation!
Shouldn't every new opening animation be a few dozen seconds or even a minute long?
Moreover, the players' activities have to be made into history … …
After all, the players were proud of their appearance in the new opening animation.
But why was there only one character today?
Could it be … … a preview of the new story?
Jasmine under the moon was puzzled.
However, even though she was puzzled, she wasn't too interested.
"Maybe it's a preview of the new story, or maybe it's the main storyline? But I'm not that interested. I'll just join in when the time comes. "
She shook her head and got up from the bed in the guest room. She then put on her armor again.
It was common knowledge in Elven Nation to take off one's equipment before going offline.
Perhaps the simulation was too realistic. If one rested while wearing their armor, the recovery of their Stamina would be affected. Sometimes, they would even feel numb when they went online.
Of course, to Jasmine Undermoon, this kind of detail that some players would think to be real was nothing more than a joke.
If she had the time to worry about these details, she might as well optimize the class balance!
Looking at the current situation, there were a lot of combat classes, but only the Druid class could barely be considered a healer.
Fortunately, the Priestess class was finally available.
Thinking up to this point, Jasmine under the moon opened the class interface.
As expected, in the system's job description, the originally dark Priestess job finally lit up.
The symbol of the Priestess class was a scepter, which was the symbol of the Goddess of Life.
The first thing Jasmine Undermoon did was to open up the introduction to the Priestess class. She wanted to know how to become a Priestess, as well as whether becoming a Priestess would affect the advancement of other classes.
"Hm? If I want to become a Priestess, I need to go to the Orloss Demiplane to complete a trial quest? After completing the quest, I'll become a Priestess in training? "
"A Priestess in training doesn't count as a Priestess. You need to complete a missionary quest to become a Priestess in training. Priestesses are levels 1 to 10. After that, you can become a Black Iron Priestess, a Silver Priestess … … "
"The Priestess class can be a part-time profession or a major profession. The only difference is the amount of EXP and missionary quest requirements … …"
"When the Priestess class is a part-time profession, the Priestess' level cannot exceed the level of the main profession. The main profession's level is still the player's level, and the promotion of the main profession is not affected by the Priestess class. The promotion of the Priestess class does not require EXP and only requires the completion of missionary quests. "
"When the Priestess class is the main profession, the Priestess' level can exceed the level of other professions. The highest level of professions is the player's level, and the promotion of players is affected by the Priestess' level. After becoming a Priestess class, the EXP required for promotion will be reduced by two-thirds, and the promotion will require the completion of missionary quests. "
After carefully studying the introduction of the Priestess class, Jasmine under the moon had a better understanding of this new class.
"So that's how it is. In other words, if the Priestess class is a part-time profession, the Priestess class only needs to complete missionary quests to increase its level. But don't expect the Priestess to exceed the level of the main profession, and it's impossible to rely on it to level up because it's a part-time profession."
"On the other hand, if the Priestess class is chosen as the main profession, the Priestess' level will exceed the current player's level, and it will override the current player's level and become the new player's level. In other words … the Priestess class can rely on the Priestess class to increase its level!"
"The Priestess class requires EXP, but the EXP required for promotion is only one-third of that of other professions, so it's easier to promote. However, if the Priestess class is the Priestess class, the promotion will require the completion of missionary quests! "
"This way of playing is a little strange, and I feel like it's very suitable for newbies to promote quickly. Hmm … the prerequisite is that I can master the Priestess class promotion technique, but … why does it feel like it's not suitable for me? I still have to complete quests, so it's a little troublesome … "
Jasmine under the moon scratched her head.
However, she had already boasted in front of Kaiser that she would take him along, so even if it was a little troublesome, she had no choice but to do it.
"Since the Priestess class isn't affected, let's change classes first."
After reading the brief introduction of the Priestess class, Jasmine under the moon decided to change her class to a Silver Warrior.
She faced the direction of the World Tree and prayed:
"Praise the nature, praise life, praise the great Goddess Eve!"
Jasmine under the moon's vision changed and she arrived at the class change interface.
There were four classes for a Warrior: Weapon Mastery, Defense Mastery, Agility Mastery, and Magic Mastery.
Weapon Mastery focused on DPS. Choosing this mastery would allow one to quickly master almost any weapon, and their attack skills would be greatly enhanced.
On the other hand, the Guardian specialization focused on defense. It had thick skin and thick flesh, and it also had some supportive defensive skills.
As for Agility Mastery, it was similar to the Hunter class.
Lastly, Magic Mastery was Magic Mastery and Martial Mastery. Of course, Magic Mastery and Martial Mastery were just Magic Mastery and a few instant-cast supportive spells.
The four mastery classes each had their own advantages and disadvantages.
Jasmine under the moon, who loved fighting and killing, naturally chose Weapon Mastery.
After successfully changing her class, Jasmine under the moon returned to the meeting place with Kaiser, the Central Square.
When she arrived, Kaiser had already been waiting for her for quite some time.
When the male Druid saw her, he excitedly said:
"Jasmine Jasmine, did you see that? If you choose Priestess as your main class, the EXP requirement for promotion will be reduced by two-thirds! This way, I'll be able to catch up to you faster! "
"I'm already a Silver. You should reach Level 40 first."
"… …"
Caesar bitterly glanced at Jasmine under the Moon and dryly laughed twice before saying, "That's right.
"Are you going? Let's go to the Orloss Demiplane together to complete the Trial Quest. Have you accepted the quest yet? Hehehe, there will be a little surprise when you accept the quest! "
Surprise?
Jasmine under the moon looked at him strangely.
"Wait a moment, I haven't accepted the quest yet."
After saying so, Jasmine under the moon turned around and looked at the World Tree behind the Central Square.
She once again prayed in a low voice and returned to the Class Change Interface.
The Trial Quest for Priestess was not accepted by an NPC, but by the Class Change Interface.
Under the moon, after Jasmine chose to accept the trial, her consciousness faintly blurred, and she seemed to see a divine figure sitting high on a divine throne.
It was Goddess Eve.
The goddess seemed to be smiling at her, and her ethereal and sacred voice sounded in her ears.
"God's Chosen One, I wish you success in completing the Trial Quest and become my follower."
Her vision changed, and Jasmine under the moon returned to reality.
She also understood what Kaiser meant by surprise. It should be that she would be able to "see" the goddess during the Trial Quest.
Unlike the other players who worshipped the goddess, although she also liked this NPC, she was not as fanatical.
However, she was very pleasing to the eye.
"Let's go, I've accepted the quest. Let's go to the Orloss Demiplane."
She turned around and said to Kaiser.
"Okay!"
… …
The teleportation circle between Kenolan and the City of Heaven's Chosen had been completed.
Thus, the two of them quickly teleported over.
With the new update, countless players were interested in the Priestess class. When Jasmine under the moon and Kaiser arrived, the whole of Kenolan was already packed with people …
Even the teleportation gate to the Orloss Demiplane had to be lined up.
"Isn't this too much? Why are there so many people?! "
Kaiser was dumbfounded.
"The new class can be part-timers … Anyway, there's no harm in part-timers. Everyone will definitely want to play. Moreover, the healing and defense of the Priestess class are very useful."
Jasmine under the moon said.
Although they had never played the Priestess class before, they had seen it before. The Priestess skills of Alice and the other NPCs made many people envious.
Whether it was the resurrection [Holy Healing] or the group healing [Soul of Healing], they all made the players jealous.
Not to mention, there were all kinds of divine buffs!
It could be said that the Priestess class perfectly combined all the advantages of the support and healing Druids and was even strengthened.
Therefore, the players were definitely looking forward to it.
Jasmine under the moon and Kaiser waited in line for almost 20 minutes before they finally passed through the teleportation gate and entered the Orloss Demiplane.
As Eve became the master of the demiplane, the teleportation coordinates of the teleportation gate were also changed by her.
The players' destination was no longer mid-air in the forest, but the Temple of Creation that was being rebuilt in Segers City.
Of course, it was no longer called the Temple of Creation but the Temple of Life.
After half a month, the natives of Orloss seemed to have become familiar with the Elves who were constantly descending.
Many of them still called the players "Lords of the Divine Race".
However, under the guidance of Ayr and the others, the name of the Elves became more and more familiar to the public.
The people here regarded the Elves as the gods of the Upper Realm and were extremely respectful to them.
Many of the players were not used to this kind of respect.
For example, Jasmine under the moon.
When she and Kaiser walked in the city and saw that every human who saw them would stop and salute them, she felt a little uncomfortable …
The trial quest for the Priestess class was quite simple.
In fact, they just had to find a few NPCs in the city to help them do some things.
Among these NPCs, there were former followers of the Church of Creation, down-and-out citizens, retired guards, and old people who studied the history of the Orloss Demiplane.
Of course, Jasmine under the moon did not know that these NPCs were different from other NPCs. They were real NPCs.
They were specially created by Eve for this trial.
The content of the trial was not complicated. They just had to help these NPCs while listening to their stories.
In fact, these NPCs created by Eve were not real.
When the players entered the designated location, they would enter the "PK Virtual Space" and enter Eve's Spiritual World.
These NPCs were also products of the Spiritual World.
Of course, the players would not notice it. They would think that they were still in the real world of the game.
The reason why Eve did this was to solve the problem of a large number of players completing the quest at the same time.
This Spiritual World allowed the players to complete the trial quest together. However, if they were to become NPCs in Segers City, they could only do it one by one.
After all … they could not queue up to listen to the story one by one, could they?
The efficiency was too low.
After searching for a while, Jasmine under the moon and Kaiser finally arrived at the first designated location.
"Plot again … I hate plots the most. Can we skip it …"
Jasmine under the moon said impatiently.
"Bear with it. After all, this is a trial quest. Moreover, the plot of" Elven Kingdom "has never been skipped. You can give it a try … just take it as a break."
Kaiser comforted her.
When Jasmine under the moon heard this, she could only accept it helplessly.
The trial quest was not difficult. It was to help carry things, repair houses, or take care of NPCs.
However, during this process, the players would hear stories from the NPCs.
Jasmine under the moon was not interested in stories.
Her mind was wandering the whole time. In fact, she was looking at the Weapon Master's strategy on the internet.
The two of them formed a party. The whole trial quest was actually led by Kaiser.
It could not be helped. Jasmine under the moon really did not like to do quests. Although she said that she would lead him, but …
There were specializations in this field!
Since Kaiser liked it, she would let him do it.
Anyway, she would lead him after the class change.
The trial went smoothly for the two of them.
Or rather, with Kaiser taking the lead, it went very smoothly.
However, as Jasmine under the moon followed Kaiser and browsed the forum, she inadvertently noticed that Kaiser, who had been chatting excitedly all this time, was a little quiet.
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? "
She asked.
"Sigh … The story of this trial quest is too touching. How can I be in a good mood after knowing the origin of this half-plane?"
Kaiser sighed.
After saying this, he sighed.
"Orloss … is really a great hero!"
Orloss? Hero?
Jasmine under the moon frowned.
She knew who Orloss was. He was the Boss of the "Heart of Life" storyline quest. He was a Demigod who betrayed the Goddess and was also the creator of this half-plane.
But … what about a hero?
Wasn't he an evil god who was infected by the power of the abyss?
She … seemed to have missed something. Was it the storyline?
She was a little curious.
However, although she was curious, her somewhat awkward personality caused her to unconsciously say:
"Is it necessary? It's just the storyline. "
Kaiser looked at her and was somewhat speechless.
"Jasmine, you must have been distracted during the trial, right?"
"Eh …"
Jasmine under the moon's expression was somewhat awkward.
Kaiser sighed.
"Why don't you take a look at the storyline? There's a summary of the storyline we just passed. It talks about the origin of this Demiplane and Orloss' story."
"Otherwise, it might affect the evaluation of the trial."
After hearing Kaiser's words, Jasmine under the moon hesitated for a moment. In the end, she opened the interface and looked at the record.
And the first thing she saw was a sentence that was somewhat familiar to her.
"For the return of the Mother Goddess, I'm willing to pay any price."
