"How is it? How's the scenery in the City of Heaven's Chosen? "
"It's great, even better than I imagined. I just feel like the map is a little too big. It took me half a day to find this place."
"Hahaha, isn't that so? This is the largest city in the Elf Forest. The total population is over 200,000!"
"That's not all, right? It feels like there are heads all over the streets … "
"Heh, that's because today's the day of the open beta. There are a million more people, so of course it's crowded … Heh, but cousin, you're in luck. I heard that the location of the new players is random. The furthest they can go is Fei Lengcui. It's fine if they're randomly sent to the city, but it'll be awesome if they're sent to the wilderness."
"Wilderness? Don't tell me it's really like the video where we have to walk tens of kilometers in the forest to return to the city? "
"Heh, that depends on luck. But … this is the core area of the Elf Forest. The strongholds of the various small guilds are quite scattered in the forest. If you find the path, you can usually find your way to the stronghold. You can also take a carriage from the stronghold's relay station to the main city."
"Sounds interesting. It's like we're really in another world."
"Of course! After all, Elf Kingdom is known as the game with the most exaggerated map area in history! Let's not talk about anything else. This City of Heaven's Chosen is just a coordinate on the current map of the main world. Other than the main world, there are also other maps such as the Shattered Kingdom of God, the Oros Demiplane, and the Nirvana Wasteland … "
"What a grand world view …"
"It's not just grand. It's an epic."
Four Seasons Sunny Rain, Ye Ye, and Nainai sat on the steps, chatting while waiting for the trophy to be given out.
The two of them had finished their group matches. However, there was still the finals of the individual competition. The prizes would only be given out after all the matches were over.
As they chatted, Four Seasons Sunny Rain gradually understood why there were so many old players trying to recruit new players into their guilds today.
"Recruiting? Heh … Luckily you didn't go. They're recruiting people, but they're actually recruiting labourers! Didn't the announcement say that the officials were planning to build a new main city? Many small and medium-sized guilds are getting restless. "
"Many Guilds dream of owning an official main city. The reason why the Seven Great Guilds have always dominated the God's Domain rankings is because they all have their own main cities …"
"However, building a main city isn't easy. It requires a lot of manpower, so many small and medium-sized guilds have set their sights on the newcomers …"
Hearing Ye Ye's words, All Seasons Sunny Rain was stunned.
"Isn't this cheating the newbies?"
"It can't be considered a scam. The benefits they offer are pretty good. If the city really passes the examination, it will eventually become a main city. As for the houses in the main city area … Heh, cousin, it's definitely worth it to get on board early. Let alone those small and medium Guilds, I'm even planning to buy a house in the central area in advance after the new city is completed."
Yeye said with a smile.
"Buy a house? I saw the screenshot on your phone. Don't you already have a three-story villa? "
All Seasons Clear Rain was a little surprised.
"Investment! After all, it's a main city. It's said that the passage to the Mindel Plane that's mentioned in the hidden quest is also there. If it's really developed, there's a lot of potential for development. Just selling it off would net me millions of contribution points. Even if I don't sell it, it's not a bad idea to use it as a place to stay. "
Nainai added.
All Seasons Clear Rain was speechless.
Why did it feel like … the two of them were starting to speculate on real estate in the game?
Tsk …
"Elven Nation" … indeed seemed to be fundamentally different from other games.
It was just that as he listened, All Seasons Clear Rain's feelings were a little complicated.
God had pity on him. He was a pitiful person who had just graduated and was reduced to a social animal. Even in the game, he could not avoid the problem of housing …
This world was too cruel.
Thinking of this, All Seasons Clear Rain sighed.
He looked strangely at Ye Ye and Nainai, who were excitedly talking about their plans. He suspected that if someone in the game destroyed their house, these two would probably fight to the death on the spot …
The few of them chatted casually. As Ye Ye and Nainai introduced the game, All Seasons Clear Rain became more and more familiar with the game.
Speaking of which, he became interested in this game because every time he met his cousin in real life, his cousin kept recommending it.
He had heard of "Elven Nation" a long time ago.
What era-transcending masterpiece? What virtual masterpiece with 100% realism? His ears were about to grow calluses from hearing about it.
However, when something became popular, it would often give birth to a group of cloud fans. For games, they were also called cloud players.
Under normal circumstances, it was fine.
However, there were all kinds of birds in the forest.
There were always some people who wanted to make their presence known on various occasions, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not. In the end, it would be annoying.
Coincidentally, as a person who was more rebellious deep in his personality, All Seasons Clear Rain hated this kind of person the most.
As a result, his impression of "Elven Nation" naturally became worse.
Even if it was an open-world role-playing game, it was his favorite.
However, other people were other people, and his cousin was his cousin.
Although he did not like this topic, his cousin had recommended it so much that even if he was not interested, he had a deep impression of it.
And one time, while surfing the Internet, All Seasons Clear Rain saw a cinematic video of "Elven Nation".
Then … his interest was piqued.
His initial interest was naturally the goddess that he caught a glimpse of.
He still could not forget that breathtaking glance.
In addition to suddenly understanding the source of those popular emojis, he was more amazed.
The original form of this character in the game … was much better than the one in the emojis.
Curiosity was the beginning of the fall.
He searched and finally found out that the famous "Goddess" on the Internet was the faction leader in "Elven Nation".
He also knew why a large group of people would spam "Praise the Goddess" whenever someone mentioned "Elven Nation" in the video.
Good lord …
Such a good looking character. If he had known earlier, he would have spammed it too.
Then, All Seasons Clear Rain's mobile phone standby screen and computer desktop were all changed …
It could only be said that the principle of fragrance was everywhere.
After further understanding, All Seasons Clear Rain became curious about "Elven Nation".
Therefore, he took advantage of this opportunity to buy a slot at a discount.
After entering the game, "Elven Nation" brought him more surprises than he had imagined.
Personally, he was very fond of role-playing games with open worlds. After entering the game, he was very excited just by walking around the dazzling City of Heaven's Chosen. In his heart, he couldn't wait to level up and explore a wider world.
Adventuring in the ruins, hunting in the forest, being mercenaries on the battlefield with their partners, or returning to the town with their trophies under the setting sun, chatting and laughing, and finally listening to the bards' music in the tavern while drinking and chatting …
Just thinking about it made him excited.
Oh, right.
There was also the four times accelerated thinking.
He had always thought that it was bragging, but after going online to verify it, it really made him completely excited.
"Level up? Hey! Cousin, don't worry, there are shortcuts in "Elven Nation". Bringing people to kill monsters is the fastest way. It just so happens that the church recently released a mission to clean up the monsters in the Northwest Canyon. After the award, we will go there. Maybe we can even see Big Sister! "
"Big Sister? Who is Big Sister? I seem to have heard a lot about her … "
"Erm, she is a very popular NPC in" Elven Nation ". She is the Goddess's Chosen One. She is very strong, cool, and powerful. She is also very protective, especially when she is doing missions with players. That's why everyone gave her this nickname."
"I see."
As the three chatted, the battle in the arena finally ended.
All Seasons Sunny Rain took a look. The winner was a female player with the ID "Jasmine Under the Moon". The audience was cheering even louder than when Yeye Nainai won.
"Who is this? She seems to be very popular? "
He asked curiously.
"Goddess Jasmine. She is a big boss in the Nature's Heart Guild. She is in the top ten on the combat strength ranking. Her nickname is the Goddess of War."
Nainai explained, her eyes full of longing.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. We have to go and receive the award."
Yeye stood up from his seat.
Then, he patted the dust off his butt and walked to the center of the arena with Nainai.
All Seasons Sunny Rain stretched out his finger and could not help but poke at the ground. Then, he looked at the dust on his finger and clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Tsk, this is so realistic …"
He hesitated for a while and tried to put it in his mouth.
"Ah, bah, bah, bah …"
…
The winner's prize was two magical equipment.
A Mithril Longsword that was enchanted with Ice Mana and a Magic Staff that was blessed by the Goddess.
Yeye and Nainai were very excited.
All Seasons Sunny Rain took the Longsword and examined it curiously. He felt that it was heavy and had a strong metallic feel.
The beautiful magical inscriptions on the sword made it even more magnificent and mysterious.
Under Yeye's guidance, he tried to channel the mana in his body and infuse it into the longsword. As the mana surged, under the excited and curious gaze of All Seasons Sunny Rain, strands of ice crystals extended along the blade of the sword and emitted a cold mist …
Realistic, novel, and interesting.
This made Four Seasons Fine Rain inexplicably come up with such a thought:
If there really was magic in the real world … then it should be like this, right?
After playing with the Longsword for a while, he returned it to Yeye.
"Let's go, it's noon. Let's have lunch and teleport to Winterfell in the afternoon. Then, we'll go to the canyon,"
Yeye said.
All Seasons Sunny Rain nodded slightly.
Though Yeye was his cousin, he was the newbie in the game.
At this time, it was better to curry favor with his cousin.
After the competition ended, the three of them followed the crowd and walked out of the arena.
At the entrance of the arena, the ticketing gamer was still chatting enthusiastically with the Frost Elf.
"Miss Dels, what do you like to do? Music? I like that too. How about we go to a concert in Maple Leaf City next time? "
"Miss Dels, did anyone say that you look like Lady Aurora? But … I think you're prettier! "
"Miss Dels, do you have someone you like?"
All Seasons Sunny Rain was speechless.
Hearing the ingratiating voice of the ticketing gamer, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, and their eyes met.
The ticketing gamer was slightly taken aback.
All Seasons Sunny Rain didn't expect to meet Yeye's eyes.
He touched his nose and smiled in a friendly manner before retracting his gaze.
He quickened his pace and walked away with Yeye, chatting and laughing.
The ticketing gamer was left in a daze.
"Good boy …"
"So he really knows the big shots participating in the competition …"
…
"In Elven Nation … Can NPCs be defeated too?"
After leaving the arena, All Seasons Sunny Rain couldn't help but ask as he thought about the conversation he had just heard.
"Of course, but … in the game, we usually don't use the word 'conquer'. Instead, we use the word 'pursue'."
Yeye said as he walked.
"Pursue?"
All Seasons Sunny Rain's expression was a little strange.
"It sounds like you're pursuing a real person …"
He touched his nose.
"Real person? Cousin, if you stay in the game long enough, you'll realize that the NPCs in the Elf Forest are much cuter than real people. "
Yeye smiled.
"Hm?"
Nainai cast an unfriendly gaze.
"Uh … Nainai, you're very cute too."
Yeye coughed dryly.
"Hmph!"
Nainai crossed her arms and retracted her gaze.
Under the teasing and meaningful gaze of All Seasons Sunny Rain, Yeye's face turned red.
He coughed dryly and changed the topic.
"To me, the NPCs in Elf Nation aren't just NPCs."
As he spoke, his gaze became warm.
"As a member of the Elf Forest, I prefer to call them clansmen or friends."
"You really like it here."
All Seasons Sunny Rain couldn't help but say.
"Cousin, you will sooner or later too."
Yeye smiled.
As he spoke, he looked into the distance.
On the streets, the crowd was bustling, and the players were talking and laughing.
There were also NPCs mixed in, walking with the players with smiles on their faces.
If one didn't specifically check their IDs, it would be impossible to distinguish between the players and the NPCs.
The noon sun wasn't scorching. Instead, it was warmer, and it felt warm on the body.
The winding thin clouds stuck close to the blue sky, sweeping past the birds, and the birds finally flew into the clouds.
A cool breeze brushed past the trees with leaves on both sides of the road. The leaves rustled, and one after another, cute elemental fairies danced gracefully. It was beautiful and dreamy.
The noise of the crowd approached from afar, faintly discernible, mixed with laughter. Accompanied by the background music that was so soft that it seemed to come from the entrance of another world, it continued to extend …
It was noon, and the melodious sound of a bell slowly came from the direction of the Temple of Life. It rang again and again, startling a flock of white pigeons in the central square.
Yeye's smile became gentler.
Such a world …
