The closed beta players formed three major guilds.
One was led by Li Mu and Demacia. It was called "Nature's Heart" and had the largest number of players, with a total of more than 180.
The leader of "Nature's Heart" was Li Mu. However, Li Mu did not impose any requirements on the guild members, so it was considered a semi-casual guild.
The other guild was led by Cuckoo Bird and Salty Meow. It was called "Cute Committee" and its leader was Salty Meow. Almost half of the members were female players, and there were more than 50 of them. It was a guild that specialized in leisure and lifestyle.
They were also the main force in the construction of the Elf Town.
The last guild was "The First Army", which was established by Tomato Fried Tomato. There were more than 40 of them. They specialized in combat and loved to adventure in the wild. They were all hardcore players.
Although Eve didn't really like Tomato Fried Tomato, he had restrained himself a lot after her previous warning.
In addition, this guy was quite hardworking and respectful to the NPCs. Almost all of his team members were hardcore players, and the feedback they provided to Eve was considerable.
Therefore, she was magnanimous and did not argue with this guy. She would observe the future.
In addition, although Li Mu was quite capable, Eve felt that he was too lazy sometimes. Creating a competitor for him could also stimulate his potential.
Apart from them, there were some passers-by who did not join any guild. The most famous of them was the number one expert in the entire server, Boxed Lunch.
This cold and fierce person had gathered a few players and formed an adventure team. They wandered in the wild every day, and their experience increased rapidly. He was regarded as a big boss by the players.
Even Li Mu looked at him in a new light.
However, compared to killing monsters, Li Mu was more interested in knowing when he would find something in the ruins.
He looked at the time on the system interface and pondered for a moment. He then said to Demacia, "We'll search for another hour.
"Let's search for another hour. If we still don't find anything, we'll temporarily return."
"Return? Okay! "
Demacia instantly beamed with joy.
"Hehe, I heard that everyone is going to hold a bonfire party at Fei Lengcui tonight. If we go back earlier, we can still join in the fun!"
After the first day of the game, the players of Elf Nation had developed the habit of holding bonfire parties regularly.
It was also because the scenery of the Elven Forest was too beautiful. Holding a party in this primeval forest had a different atmosphere of camping away from the secular world.
Everyone ate berries and secretly barbequed when the Saintess wasn't paying attention. They laughed together, played together, and chatted together … It was simply too happy.
A bonfire party?
Li Mu's eyes lit up.
If he didn't remember wrongly, this banquet was to celebrate Fei Lengcui's reconstruction of the divine hall.
The previous temple had been severely damaged, and for the past two days, Gu Gu Bird had been busy repairing the temple with her construction team. It was said that this was one of the tasks given by the goddess.
Now, the repairs should be more or less complete, and they could start worshipping the statue.
Thinking of this, he nodded.
"En, we'll go back in an hour. While we're at it, we'll ask Alice if we can get some information about Fei Lengcui from her."
As he spoke, Li Mu pushed aside the debris in front of him and continued to explore.
"Alice!"
Demacia's eyes lit up, and his expression suddenly became mysterious.
He leaned close to Li Mu's ear, chuckled, and said, "Hey, hey.
"I say, Brother Mu, after playing the game for so long, have you figured out the punishment mechanism of this game?"
Hearing his words, Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said,
"This game is a high imitation of reality, so as long as you follow the rules of reality, you won't be punished."
As he spoke, he looked at Demacia in surprise.
"You didn't do something again, did you?"
"No, no …"
Demacia smiled sheepishly, then said, "Yes.
"It's just that after the red-name police report, I was a little curious about it, so I secretly found a few players to try it out."
"Try it out?"
"That's right, it's the red-name mechanism! We tried it out, and this mechanism seems to determine the red-name based on the player's' malice 'and the degree of damage to other players, and it can be eliminated with contribution points. And this punishment should be graded. According to our speculations, if you kill someone, the punishment might be quite severe, and you might even be banned … "
Demacia said.
"Is that so … so severe?"
Li Mu suddenly understood and felt that it was inconceivable.
Only then did he remember that two days ago, the system seemed to have sent a message that Demacia had become a red-name, but very quickly, the system notification that he had repented and changed floated over. So it was like this …
This guy was really so bored that his balls hurt.
Li Mu was angry and amused at the same time.
However, if it was in the past, he would probably have been like Demacia, looking for bugs everywhere.
Now, as the game progressed, Li Mu liked this game more and more, and gradually, he completely forgot about looking for bugs.
"Not only that!"
Demacia's expression became serious.
"We also tried it on the NPCs, and then we found that we couldn't attack the NPCs!"
After hearing Demacia's words, Li Mu rolled his eyes at him.
"Isn't that normal? If we could attack the NPCs, wouldn't this game be a mess? "
"No, what I mean is that when we want to attack the NPCs, we will lose control of our bodies in an instant, and we will only regain control when the thought disappears. However, our current attempts are limited to the young lady and the big guy … "
Demacia shook his head.
Li Mu was speechless.
"You … tried to attack Alice and Basaka?"
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Demacia scratched his head.
"Didn't I want to try? Then I found that I couldn't attack them. "
Li Mu was speechless.
"You should be glad that you can't attack them, otherwise, I think you would have been beaten back to level 1 by now."
He glanced at Demacia speechlessly.
"Well, well … Anyway, I can't save their favorability with them … I'll just try … I still have a few perfect revivals …"
Demacia said embarrassedly.
Li Mu was speechless.
Not being able to attack the NPCs was actually Eve's setting.
Her original plan was to use the red name mechanism to restrict players from attacking the NPCs, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was still too unsafe, so she simply prohibited players from attacking the NPCs.
To be more precise, players could not attack her believers.
When players had the thought of attacking the believers of nature, they would lose control of their bodies.
Eve could do this because there was a channel in her Divine Persona space that connected players and believers. She could perform certain micro-operations to set up the system program, and when players had hostility toward believers, their consciousness would terminate control of their bodies in advance.
As for other intelligent creatures other than believers, there was no way.
In the future, if there were other natives who were close to Eve but were not believers of nature, Eve could only rely on a strict punishment system to restrain the players.
As for why she did not restrict players from attacking each other … there was a reason for that.
The relationship between players was not as simple as that between players and NPCs. Forcefully ensuring peace between players was sometimes not a good thing.
Because players who had conflicts had many ways to drag each other down, and forcefully maintaining peace also meant that there was no punishment system.
Rather than that, it was better to set up a red name system. If players made a big fuss, they would be directly banned and leave, which could also be considered as removing unstable factors.
There was a hint of a fishing law.
As for those who could change, they would be given a chance to repent and be fined.
Well, Eve felt that she was quite generous.
Not only that, not restricting players from attacking each other also allowed players to fully perform all kinds of tricks.
For example, the trick of injuring oneself to gain the enemy's confidence, sacrificial gameplay, and so on …
…
After listening to Demacia's probing experience, Li Mu helplessly patted him on the shoulder.
"Demacia."
"Yes?"
Demacia looked at Li Mu with sparkling eyes.
"Brother Mu, what's the matter?"
Li Mu glanced at him and said faintly,
"You must have very few friends in real life, right?"
Demacia looked surprised.
"How did you know?!"
Li Mu was speechless.
He did not answer. Instead, he shook his head helplessly, sighed, and continued to walk forward.
Demacia touched his nose embarrassedly and followed step by step.
However, after taking two steps, he tripped and almost did a somersault.
"Damn, what's that?"
He cursed and subconsciously used the torch to illuminate it. He saw a broken stone slab full of strange words.
"What's this?"
He curiously picked up the stone slab.
