The azure blue sky was even deeper than the sea, and a few clusters of clouds were floating slowly. They were pulled into strands by the wind, and then gradually melted into the mirror-like sky.
Xu Ge swore that he had never seen such a pure blue sky.
Just like the Bluestar season, Elven Nation had just entered autumn and winter, and the temperature was slightly cooler.
The golden sun hung high in the sky and shone on Xu Ge's body, making him feel warm.
From time to time, he could see magic beasts flying in the sky with their wings spread. There were majestic Megalosaurus and majestic griffins, but most of them were giant birds with loud cries.
And on each flying magic beast, he could see the shadow of elves.
They were players with gorgeous equipment.
Xu Ge looked at the figures coming and going in the sky with excitement, and his eyes were faintly shining.
Flying.
For every young man, it was a huge attraction.
Suddenly, the sky darkened slightly, and a huge shadow was cast on the ground.
A giant flying object swept across the sky and covered the sky.
Xu Ge's eyes widened, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face. He couldn't help but let out an "O" shape with his mouth …
"Wow?!"
He exclaimed subconsciously.
In his field of vision, he saw a huge object floating in the air.
It was a huge airship with a rather magical punk style.
The airship flew at a very low altitude, less than 100 meters from the ground. Its appearance seemed to be a reference to the famous zeppelin airship in Bluestar history. It looked like a giant missile, but its length seemed to be longer. It was definitely more than 200 meters long.
Exquisite and beautiful magic arrays were drawn around it. From afar, it looked like decorative patterns, and a scepter-like symbol was drawn on the tail.
Below the airbag, there was a pod that seemed to be made of wood and steel. At the front, there was a wooden carved goddess statue, and at the rear, there was a rather punk-style propeller that was constantly rotating.
The pod was also engraved with magic arrays, and the figures of elves could be seen peeking out from time to time.
They were also players.
"Goddess! This is the Goddess! "
Xu Ge said excitedly.
He knew about this airship.
As a Cloud Gamer who had been paying attention to 'Elf Nation' since the second closed beta, Xu Ge's most popular entertainment during his break was watching the streamers' recordings in 'Elf Nation' as well as the game videos of various UP Masters.
And Xu Ge happened to see this airship in the video of the famous streamer Xiao Mu.
It was built by the veteran players in "Elven Nation" last week. It was said that more than a thousand players participated in the design and construction.
To be honest, airships were nothing compared to all kinds of wonderful flying machines in movies and TV series, or even some heavy airplanes in real life … They were nothing compared to airships in terms of style and visual impact.
But games were different from reality.
It was just like how gamers in Minecraft would only be impressed by the culture and the majesty of the palace when they saw a video of the Forbidden City, but would be shocked when they saw the exact same palace being replicated by other gamers and exclaim "What the f * ck", "This is other people's world", and "Kneel down"...
In Elven Nation, anyone would be shocked to see that the players had created such a floating behemoth with their own hands.
This came from the impact of the gap between experience and reality.
It was when something that was thought to be impossible or difficult to do was done by someone else.
In fact, from what Xu Ge knew, Elven Nation players were probably the most creative players in all of the online games, even surpassing the popular MMORPG version of Minecraft …
On one hand, it was due to Elven Nation's unparalleled freedom, and on the other hand, it was due to the high level of culture and hands-on skills of the players in the game.
In the earliest days, the players of "Elven Nation" restored various buildings on the Blue Planet in the game, built cities in the game, and developed the main cities.
Now that most of the players were at the max level, more and more players started to develop new ways to play the game.
Replicating things from Bluestar was especially popular, and the players had come up with a lot of new tricks in the past month.
Things like airships and hot air balloons had a certain industrial base, but weren't that advanced compared to modern technology, which was one of the things that the players were most interested in …
Apart from that, there were also things like projection screens, television, and steam trains.
Some of them were already done, while others were still being explored.
Of course, some of the key technologies couldn't be solved by amateurs.
This was determined by the technology tree. Even if there was a clear theory behind it, it couldn't be done without sufficient industrial base and human resources.
But there was magic in the game.
Magic was a cheat, especially since Elves were natural magic creatures. Even the noblest of players would know how to cast Illumination or activate Magic Circles or Scrolls after some training.
Under these circumstances, the players could use the convenience of magic to make up for their lack of technology.
Projection screens were an obvious example. It was said that the steam train could be modified into a magical train with the help of Magic Circles …
Of course, there were many situations where the players came up with all sorts of things, but it wasn't really for practical purposes. Or perhaps it was for practical purposes, but most of the time, it was just to look cool and show off …
But due to a series of coincidences, they did come up with a lot of new and effective gadgets, and even completely changed the lives of the NPCs in Elven Nation.
The Magic Projection Screen technology was the most famous one.
Even Xu Ge knew that some of the big shots among the players had started a "media company." In the Elven Forest, the most central map in the game, many of the taverns in the various cities were installed with Magic Projections to broadcast various competitive programs.
It was quite popular among the players and NPCs.
Gradually collecting his scattered thoughts, Xu Ge looked at the Goddess in the sky again.
His eyes sparkled slightly, and he muttered to himself,
"I wonder what it will be like to sit on it …"
It must be very interesting!
The airship wasn't slow.
It flew slowly and gradually went away.
Xu Ge's gaze followed its back until it flew over a huge tree trunk and disappeared from sight.
At this moment, the young man's eyes were attracted by the majestic tree trunk again.
The tree trunk rose from the ground, and the airship was just like a pocket-sized toy in front of it …
It was so wide that when Xu Ge looked at it, he felt like he was looking at a wooden wall that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Of course, wooden walls had height, but this tree trunk was different.
Xu Ge's eyes kept moving up, and the tree trunk in his field of vision kept extending, extending, and extending …
Until it pierced through the clouds, and the end could no longer be seen.
"The World Tree."
Xu Ge said excitedly.
The World Tree!
This was the most shocking natural wonder in "Elven Kingdom." It was said to be ten thousand meters tall!
At the same time, it was also the original body of the Goddess Eve Uqtrahir. It was the object of the players' protection and loyalty, the leader of the faction that they believed in and followed.
The majestic and mysterious World Tree, the magical punk airship, the soaring Griffins and Megalosaurus, plus the bustling buildings and streets that concentrated the characteristics of various cultures in the Bluestar, as well as the sharp corners and domes, and the solemn temples painted with various elf-style reliefs …
What was displayed in Xu Ge's eyes was a bizarre and variegated world full of fantasy and historical charm, but at the same time, it exuded an exotic and mythical feeling!
And this was "Elven Kingdom."
A new world that fascinated countless players!
The elven tune beside his ears was cheerful and classical. It was the exclusive BGM of the City of Heaven's Chosen.
As always, it was warm and pleasant to listen to. It perfectly fit with the noisy city, and people couldn't help but feel a new kind of comfort and joy …
Listening to the beautiful elven melody, Xu Ge jumped.
His light body was extremely vigorous and powerful. With an excited smirk, he jumped nearly one and a half meters …
It was a completely different experience from the real body. It was as if the gravity of the whole world had been reduced, or his whole body was full of power, like a superman who had awakened a special ability.
He had a hunch that many actions that he couldn't do on normal days would be easily done at this moment.
And the dazzling and wonderful parkour in movies and games, at this moment, he felt that if he did it, it would definitely be a piece of cake …
At this moment, Xu Ge felt like he was the chosen one.
His chest was full of pride. He couldn't help but whistle and run and jump in the city.
"'Elven Kingdom,' I'm coming!"
He laughed loudly.
It attracted a lot of gazes as if they were looking at a fool.
Those were the old players' gazes.
Some were weird, some were funny, some were understanding, and some were teasing …
Being stared at by the players, Xu Ge's face turned red, and he suddenly felt embarrassed.
He suddenly discovered another difference.
That was, perhaps because the game was too realistic, he would unconsciously put himself in the game.
When a group of people looked at him strangely, he actually felt a little embarrassed.
Xu Ge cleared his throat and stopped cheering.
He slowed down his pace and let himself blend into the environment as much as possible, becoming a quiet and elegant elven man.
It was just that the simple equipment, the excited glances, and the curious expression like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Anyone who looked at him knew that he was another lucky newbie …
Not long after, he was targeted by someone.
"Hey, hey! Brother! Brother! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! "
A call came from behind.
However, Xu Ge didn't notice.
He had been completely attracted by the scenery of the City of Heaven's Chosen. He was studying the game system while looking left and right.
It wasn't until a big hand landed on his shoulder that Xu Ge was startled.
"Hey, little brother! Please wait a minute! "
Suddenly being patted, the young man almost jumped up.
He turned his head and saw that it was a tall and strong Elven Warrior.
This was a male player with brown hair and green eyes. He wore a set of silver armor that shone brightly under the sunlight. There were even red ribbons around the armor, making him look very impressive.
He carried a giant sword carved with exquisite patterns. He had a smile on his face and was brimming with enthusiasm.
Xu Ge looked at the top of his head.
ID: Face the Wind
He tried to use the [Identify] skill again.
The system responded with a bunch of question marks.
Looking at Xu Ge's curious look, the male player grinned, patted him on the shoulder again, and chuckled.
"Brother, don't identify me. I'm level 40, the maximum level. You can't identify me."
Black Iron, the maximum level boss!
Xu Ge's eyes lit up, and he was in awe.
Level 40 was the basic maximum level of "Elven Kingdom" and also the graduation level of the game.
As for why it was "basic maximum level", it was because the level system of "Elven Kingdom" was somewhat different from other games.
Here, the maximum level was not uniform. Generally speaking, most players would be promoted to level 40 at most.
However, above level 40, there were a small number of lucky players who were able to advance from the Black Iron level to the Silver level. Finally, they could grow to the peak of level 50, which was the lower level of Silver!
The combat power of these Silver players was not at the same level as the Black Iron players. Unless the Black Iron players were fully equipped with godly equipment, there was no way they could compete with them.
They could take on ten people each.
This strange promotion system was criticized by many players.
However, "Elven Kingdom" was the only type of game in the world. Even if the mechanism was strange, a large group of people still held their noses and really enjoyed it.
If you want to play, then play. If you don't, then get lost. After all, there were tens of millions of people who wanted to play …
The monopoly of technology was so capricious.
The number of Silver players, according to statistics, was more than 3,000 in the entire server, and it was slowly increasing.
However, the number of 3,000 players was quite small compared to the total number of hundreds of thousands of players.
Not to mention that the players now had many main cities, and the map of "Elven Kingdom" was very large. Therefore, the Silver players were quite scattered and were rarely seen.
Therefore, generally speaking, a player who was at the maximum level of Black Iron and had godly equipment was already considered a big shot.
Xu Ge had watched many game videos.
He could recognize that the big sword on the Black Iron player in front of him and the armor he was wearing were definitely not school uniform equipment.
The sparkling special effects could very well be godly equipment!
This … was a big shot who had graduated!
There was no doubt that the male player in front of him was definitely one of the people who stood at the peak of Black Iron combat power in "Elven Kingdom"!
At this thought, Xu Ge subconsciously looked at the system's combat power ranking list and searched for the other party's ID. Indeed, he saw the other party's name in the 3,900th place.
This was a big shot who ranked in the top 4,000 combat power in the entire server!
Xu Ge looked envious.
Looking at Xu Ge's respectful gaze, the warrior player "Face the Wind" enjoyed it very much.
He smiled again and said,
"Brother, you just entered the game, right? Do you want to level up quickly? I have a mission to do here. If you're willing to help, after the mission is completed, I can take you to farm monsters and send you to Black Iron. "
It was a big shot!
Xu Ge's spirits were lifted.
In the early stages of "Elven Kingdom", it was said that players leveling up was quite boring.
It was not that it was boring. In fact, the sense of reward for leveling up after completing missions in "Elven Kingdom" was much stronger than in other online games …
It was just that with more and more gameplay and larger maps, not many people were willing to do missions and level up bit by bit.
Without comparison, there would be no harm.
Looking at the big shots who were either indulging in wine and women in taverns or going in and out of cities with godly equipment, no one would not be envious and yearning.
As for the newbies who had just entered the game, if they wanted to level up according to the system's guidance, they had very few choices.
This was especially true for those below the Black Iron level who could not enter the various dungeons.
If they followed the prescribed order, they would need to accept various system missions, run around in the City of Chosen One or other main cities, and do some hard work that newbies could do in exchange for experience points and contribution points.
In the past, it was said that they could still go to the wild to kill monsters to level up.
But now there were no monsters around the City of Chosen One, and newbies could not go to places that were too far away, so they could only rely on mission experience to survive.
Of course, this was the slowest and also the stupidest way.
In fact, the players had already figured out a better way after fumbling around.
That was the commonly used "guide newbies" in online games.
The rewards for killing monsters above the level in "Elven Kingdom" were very high.
If a Level 1 newbie successfully killed a Silver Monster with the help of a Silver player, then he would immediately gain a huge amount of experience, and there would be no problem for him to level up more than ten times.
And even if the helper was a Black Iron player at the maximum level, he could also take the newbie to farm some Black Iron and Upper level monsters, and leveling up to Black Iron would be easy.
After entering Black Iron, things would be easier.
They could continue to let the old players "guarantee" them to the maximum level of Black Iron. They could also participate in shadow dungeons or Demon God's Labyrinth, farm monsters themselves, or find NPCs to accept some Black Iron missions with higher experience points …
Of course, except for a very small number of lucky newbies who had nothing better to do, most people who wanted to hitch a ride with the old players had to pay a price.
It could be a direct transfer of RMB, contribution points, or gold pounds.
The higher the ranking of the player, the higher the reward.
And in addition to these transactions, sometimes the old players would also use some missions as a condition.
As long as the newbie did the mission for them, they would agree to guide them after the mission.
Xu Ge had seen some related guides, the most famous of which was to help the old players mine, or to experiment with some new technology that could lead to death …
Of course, because many of the guides were relatively old, even the newest ones were from the second open beta era. It had been a long time since the current version, so Xu Ge really did not know what the old players needed now.
Anyway, it could not be mining, because the hard work had long been taken over by the Half-Orcs.
Now, in Rivendell's mine, it was said that there were Half-Orc miners.
"What mission?"
Xu Ge asked expectantly.
He had already thought about it. If the mission was easy, he would definitely ride on the coattails of someone powerful!
Well, if it was possible, he would also call Zhao Linqian that fellow …
After hearing Xu Ge's words, he faced Gale and laughed.
"It's not a difficult mission, just to help us explore the ruins."
"Explore? Ruins? "
Xu Ge was stunned.
