The cool sea breeze blew from the west, bringing with it a salty and moist smell.
The seagulls sang loudly in the air, accompanied by the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
Coupled with the soothing tune unique to the seaside city of Milovia in the game system, one couldn't help but close their eyes and feel a sense of tranquility that was far away from the mundane world.
She forgot all her worries and tiredness. She only wanted to sing at the top of the waves, the waves chasing after the waves, the sea surface that was as blue as a mirror, and the sea surface that was as soft as silk …
That was the impulse in Cyber's heart.
As a semi-casual Hunter player, Cyber loved to admire the scenery of Elven Kingdom after completing missions.
Especially the seaside city of Milovia.
He didn't even set up his house in the most convenient main cities. Instead, he bought a seaside villa in Milovia.
Standing on the balcony of his villa's seaside bedroom, Cyber stretched his body.
It was another exciting weekend. He could once again play the game for more than forty hours.
Oh, no, it was more than a hundred hours.
After eating some bread, drinking some juice with dried bacon, and filling his stomach, Cyber put on his equipment and left the house. He walked to the streets of Milovia.
It had been almost half a year since the players discovered this city. It had also been two months since Sophia's mission.
At this moment, Milovia was full of vitality. NPCs and players could be seen coming and going.
The elegant elf-style buildings on both sides of the white stone road had all sorts of shops. Some were owned by players, while others were owned by NPCs.
Players on magical beasts or carriages could be seen hurriedly passing through the middle of the road. Most of them were leisure merchants.
Although it had only been a few months, as the only seaside city, Milovia had become the main source of seafood for the players in the Elven Forest. Almost every famous guild had set up fishing boats at the docks here.
Perhaps this city wasn't as lively as Fei Lengcui and Rivendell, but it was definitely full of vitality.
Avoiding the carriages in the middle of the road, Cyber walked slowly toward the Temple of Life along the right side of the street.
This was the first thing he did every time he went online. He went to the Temple of Life to find the priest to accept the daily mission.
Although there were many NPCs in Milovia, and if he could befriend one or two of them or find a part-time job in an NPC's shop, he would be able to solve the daily mission's rewards. However, Cyber still preferred to visit the shrine. He could also visit the merchant shop to see if there were any new goods on sale.
Two months ago, this was how he had drawn the first batch of bloodline talents to test out his bloodline talent and obtained the quota of "blood elves".
Blood elf …
That was a new function added after the latest update of Elven Kingdom. It was a branch under 'bloodline talent'. There was only one of it.
It could only be obtained from the Lucky Prize pool.
As long as he could obtain this bloodline talent, he would be able to strengthen his bloodline power. He would be stronger than ordinary elves and obtain the skill [Awaken].
Once it was [Awakened], it could transform into a sprite with special powers and obtain a huge bonus.
It was similar to the Druid's transformation skill, but Cyber felt that it was more flexible than the Druid's. After all, the Druid would obtain 70% of the target's strength after transforming, while [Awaken] gave him a new bonus on top of the original skill.
The bonuses of the blood elves were some unique Blood Magic, Summoning Magic, and Transformation Magic. Cyber had learned three of them. One was [Flying Bat Wings], another was [Atomization Magic], and the last was [Bloodline Ignition].
For some reason, Cyber felt that this ability was similar to the inferior vampires of the Cappadocia Family that he had hunted down in Maple Leaf City two months ago. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
The background music was melodious, and Cyber couldn't help but hum along with it.
Occasionally, a player who was jumping on the roofs and vaulting over the walls would accidentally miss a step and fall to the ground. He would then roll his eyes at him. "Alright.
"Isn't it good to be honest?"
Gradually, the number of players increased as they reached the city's dock.
Looking at the shore, they could see ships of all sizes docked at the dock. Some were built by the players themselves, while others were bought from the Ayres Kingdom in the south and transported to Milovia by land.
The dock was bustling with noise and excitement. Moreover, there were even more players running towards the dock.
Cyber looked over curiously and raised his eyebrows.
It seemed … much noisier than usual.
He grabbed a passing player and asked, "What's up?
What's going on over there? "
The passerby player looked excited.
"Hey, our guild's exploration team is back!"
Exploration team?
Cyber paused for a moment and glanced at the guild name above the player's head.
[Mengmeng Committee]
Then, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard a piece of gossip more than two months ago. It seemed that the well-known leader of the Mengmeng Committee, Boxed Lunch, had set up an exploration fleet with the support of Little Salty Meow and went out to sea to explore the map boundary.
However, Cyber believed another rumor from the Mengmeng Committee. It was said that Boxed Lunch and his team were looking for Milovia's elves.
The mysterious disappearance of Milovia's elves was one of the hottest topics in Elven Nation.
Unlike the other cities discovered by the players, this elven city had no traces of battle. The city was well preserved, and the elves seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
Early on, some players had found items left behind by the elves in the nearby Titan Ruins, so many people guessed that Milovia's elves had entered the ruins.
However, as the players turned the entire Titan Ruins upside down, they realized that it was difficult to find even a single magical beast or monster. There were no good Titan Ruins either.
The entire ruins were empty, and only some rare and delicious mushrooms attracted some greedy players to pick some to make soup.
Later on, some people guessed that Milovia's elves had gone out to sea.
Then, there was the Mengmeng Committee's exploration team.
Thinking of this, Cyber's curiosity was piqued.
He wanted to know what the Mengmeng Committee's exploration team had found.
The Mengmeng Committee must have known about the exploration team's progress. However, as an outsider, he could only go to the dock to find out.
The Mengmeng Committee's exploration ship was a two-masted ship.
After docking, Cyber saw a few familiar figures getting off the ship.
Boxed Lunch, Optimist, Calabash, Chopin, and so on … They were all famous players on the leaderboard.
He leaned over and heard the poorest player in the server, Optimist, talking excitedly to someone.
"That's right! We went south along the coast and finally went around the Death Desert! We can reach the southernmost part of the Death Desert! "
"Time? About twenty days … It's time-consuming, and it's not as convenient as the Teleportation Portal. "
"But when we go further east, it won't work. It seems that we're about to enter the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Ayres. We tried, and the ship can go over, but we can't. If it weren't for the NPC at the helm, we would have fallen into the water …"
"If I'm not wrong, we should be able to build a sea trade route from Milovia to the Kingdom of Ayres. However, considering that there's already the Vimur River and the Teleportation Portal, I don't think it'll be very useful."
"But if we can build a large ship, it might be worth it. If we use the Teleportation Portal for large items, it'll cost a lot of Magic Stones."
"West? There's a border in the west too, about twenty kilometers. After twenty kilometers from the coast, we'll reach the end of the map. However, it could be that the new map hasn't been released yet … "
"You don't know, it's too beautiful! The scenery is too beautiful! Including the Death Desert on the coast! There's a large red stone mountain over there! It's by the sea, and the sunset is very dreamy! "
"And the sunrise on the sea, it's very mesmerizing! I'll send you a screenshot later! "
"Sea monsters? We're not too far from the coast, but the captain said that he sensed many magical beasts in the sea. We even dived and killed some. They tasted good. "
"Where's' I'm invincible '? Erm … That guy can't swim, but he wants to act cool. He accidentally drowned when we dived into the sea. He should be drawing circles in the Peak City now. "
"Oh right, we met a giant whale once! I think it's at least Gold. Let me show you a screenshot! "
"Elves? Sigh … I didn't find any. There aren't any islands overseas. To be honest, I didn't think it was reliable to find elves. "
…
I don't think it's reliable either.
Cyber said in his heart.
He could understand why those big guilds wanted to find Milovia's elves. It was just for the possible storyline mission.
There was a saying in Elven Nation: Whoever could trigger the storyline would have the opportunity to surpass others.
After all, the rewards were too much.
However, as a semi-casual player, he did not care.
He was satisfied to be able to keep up with the pace of the main group.
Just like now, he had stepped into Silver. Although he was not one of the top bosses, when he met most of the players on the road, it was enough to enjoy the envious gazes of others.
After all, even if the number of Silver players had exploded recently, there were only about 50,000 of them.
Top 10%!
Looking at the dock that was getting more and more crowded, Cyber silently chanted a spell and used [Atomization].
His eyes instantly turned red, and in the next second, he turned into a cloud of black smoke.
Then, the smoke blew into the distance like the wind. In just a few seconds, he rushed out of the crowd and flew nearly a hundred meters away, slowly revealing his human form.
"F * ck! Atomization! "
"Blood Elves … I'm so envious!"
Behind him, the other players exclaimed.
Cyber could not help but curl his lips, but he quickly cleared his throat and returned to his calm expression.
He continued to walk towards the temple.
Like other elven cities, Milovia's Temple of Life was located in the center of the city.
After entering the temple, he bypassed the players who were staring blankly at the goddess statue in the main hall and quickly found an NPC priestess that he had a good relationship with, a cute elven lady.
"It's Mr. Cyber! Do you want to receive a daily mission again today? "
The elven priestess smiled.
Cyber nodded.
"Help me find one with a higher reward."
"Okay, let me take a look!"
The elven priestess nodded and then looked straight ahead …
Cyber knew that the priestess was checking the mission system.
After a while, the elven priestess retracted her gaze and smiled at Cyber.
"Is the mission of collecting Fat Head Mushrooms in the ruins okay? Tomorrow, the church's higher-ups will come to Milovia for an inspection. The temple doesn't have enough ingredients, so the chief priestess wants to hire someone to collect some Fat Head Mushrooms in the ruins of the Titans. "
Fat Head Mushrooms were a specialty of the nearby ruins of the Titans. Not only were they delicious, but they were also filled with magic. They were a high-quality ingredient and magic ingredient.
Don't underestimate this mushroom collecting mission. Fat Head Mushrooms grew very secretively. If the players were not sensitive to auras, it would be very difficult to find them in the ruins.
"Reward?"
"It depends on the amount collected. 500 contribution points for 1 pound."
"So much?"
Cyber was surprised.
Daily missions were usually one or two thousand contribution points, which could be completed in half an hour.
It would be more troublesome to collect Fat Head Mushrooms in the ruins, but the more he collected, the more rewards he would receive. According to Cyber's previous experience, 500 contribution points for 1 pound would be enough to earn him thousands or even tens of thousands of contribution points!
"There aren't many Fat Head Mushrooms left, so it's not as convenient to collect them as before."
The elven priestess explained.
Cyber was enlightened.
Little Miss Priest said so, it is estimated that the easy to pick should have been picked up by the group of animals that wave every day.
After accepting the mission from the priestess, Cyber followed the route in his memory to the ruins of the Titans.
The ruins of the Titans near Milovia weren't far from the city. Moreover, there was a teleportation circle that led directly to the city center, so Cyber quickly arrived at his destination.
Unlike the other ruins of the Titans, this one wasn't located in a different dimension. Instead, it was buried underground. After paying the teleportation circle fee, Cyber entered the ruins.
He hadn't been to the ruins for a long time. The last time he was here was two months ago, so he could only follow his vague memory to find the area where the Fat Head Mushrooms were.
However, even though Cyber was mentally prepared for the Fat Head Mushroom to be looted by the players, he couldn't help but twitch his lips when he arrived at the ruins and stared at the corner that was so clean that it looked as though it had been wiped clean.
"Let's go deeper."
He shook his head.
The ruins of the Titans weren't as big as the other ruins, but perhaps because it was buried underground, the interior was more complicated.
At the same time, there were many collapsed and buried areas.
The deeper he went, the more likely he was to find more Fat Head Mushrooms.
After searching for a while, Cyber finally found his target under a pile of rocks. It was a plump mushroom that looked a little like the Monkey Head Mushroom in the Bluestar.
He was delighted and picked it up. Then, he put it under his nose and used the Hunter's tracking skill.
This was the advantage of being a Hunter, the ultimate skill of finding things!
After using the skill, Cyber quickly sensed the presence of many Fat Head Mushrooms. He followed the scent and searched one by one.
The deeper Cyber went, the more Fat Head Mushrooms he picked.
Many places in the ruins had collapsed, but this wasn't a problem for Cyber. With the [Atomization], he could squeeze into any crack.
In order to find more Fat Head Mushrooms, he used Atomization again and again, squeezing into one crack after another. Unknowingly, he came to a place with piles of rocks.
At this time, Cyber looked at the map and realized that he had unknowingly left the area of the ruins that the players had explored before.
"Atomization is so useful! Did I open a new map? "
Cyber looked at the pile of rocks in front of him and was excited.
This was the deepest part of the ruins and no players had ever come here. If it wasn't for Atomization, he wouldn't have been able to reach this place.
What surprised him was that he found a large number of Fat Head Mushrooms here!
"I've struck gold!"
Cyber exclaimed.
Cyber greedily put the Fat Head Mushrooms into his small storage ring and was in a good mood.
"There are some under the rocks too!"
The tracking skill pointed at the bottom of the pile of rocks.
Cyber took a deep breath and used the skill to move the rocks away. He was ready to pick up the Fat Head Mushroom.
However, when he moved the rocks away and looked under the rocks, his eyes narrowed.
"Magic patterns?"
Under the rocks, there was a complicated pattern.
Only a corner was exposed. The pattern extended to the surroundings and was covered by other rocks.
Cyber's heart skipped a beat and he used the skill to move the rocks in front of him one by one.
After he was done, the full appearance of the magic pattern was revealed in front of him.
It was a circular magic array.
This magic array seemed to have been around for a long time. A few magic nodes were piled up with debris. Those should be magic stones that had lost their effectiveness.
Cyber's eyebrows twitched.
"Sealing magic array?"
He had learned some knowledge about magic arrays. Although he wasn't proficient in it, he knew how to operate it.
Although the patterns on this magic array were different from the ones he had learned, the meaning of the runes at the core was definitely "sealing"!
In an instant, Cyber became excited. He felt that he might have found something incredible.
"Could it be … a treasure?"
He swallowed his saliva.
After thinking for a while, he took out a few magic stones from his storage ring and placed them into the magic nodes of the magic array.
Then, he used the method he learned to activate magic arrays and injected magic into the magic array.
When the magic entered the magic array, the entire dark underground ruins suddenly emitted a bright light.
It was the magic array on the ground that was shining.
This magic array … wasn't damaged!
Cyber was overjoyed.
However, in the next moment, the magic stones on the magic array cracked into pieces and the entire magic array dimmed.
Cyber was stunned for a moment before he understood.
"Is there not enough magic …"
He looked at the magic array that was obviously old and hesitated for a moment. He gritted his teeth and took out a few high-quality magic stones.
Those were the "ammunition" that the Cute Committee gave him when he was controlling the magic crystal cannons in the Maple Leaf Territory war. He hadn't used them all.
This time, the magic array emitted a dazzling light!
Before Cyber could react, he felt a huge suction force from the void and his surroundings instantly turned into darkness.
