In the end, Tony did not manage to get closer to Zero.
However, he did not mind because Zero's favorability was notoriously difficult to increase, even if she was considered relatively close to the people among the mythical NPCs in Elven Nation.
"It's okay, take your time. Anyway, I often turn in quests and give some gifts every time."
After saying goodbye to Zero, Tony encouraged himself as he left the temple.
It was not easy to come to the World of Segers. He still had a lot of things to do, such as the modification of his own starship, the replenishment of the crew, and so on. In addition … he also planned to buy a house in the City of Heaven's Chosen.
Although the housing prices in the City of Heaven's Chosen were outrageous, as one of the top 5,000 players in the entire server, he could still afford a small suite on the edge of the city.
With a house, he would have a place to stay. In the future, he would not have to live in the guild dormitory every time he came to the World of Segers. Moreover, the houses in the City of Heaven's Chosen had an investment attribute, and the growth potential was much stronger than the houses in the World of Dawn.
Damn it, he had really been with the Chinese players for too long. Even his habit of investing in houses was about to be infected by them.
Tony mocked himself in his heart.
Unlike the Segers World where Chinese players were the majority, many worlds where international players were active, including the World of Dawn, the housing prices and increases were not as outrageous as those in the Segers World.
Of course, one of the reasons was that the Segers World was the true center of Elven Nation, and there were too many Chinese players. However, more importantly, the other worlds, especially the international worlds where European and American players were the main players, had a very different way of building cities from the World of Segers.
There, the players were more scattered and did not build a huge city like the City of Heaven's Chosen. Instead, most of the buildings gathered around guild castles, personal manors, and so on, surrounding the city center with the temple.
Compared to buying houses in the crowded city center, many international players preferred to build beautiful manors or castles in safe areas.
This was a very interesting phenomenon, and Tony had specially observed it.
As far as he knew, in addition to the cultural differences of different countries, he believed that this was also because the two sides had different starting points.
When the Celestial Empire's players had just descended, they were very weak and lacked resources. They could only huddle together and build Strongholds. In the end, they formed many large cities, and all sorts of resources were gathered in these cities.
When the international players arrived, their forces were already very strong. Their Magical Engineering technology was also becoming more powerful. When they settled down, the international players had more things to choose from. Transportation was not a problem. They could even directly hire Chinese players to help them build all kinds of beautiful buildings!
Safety was not a problem either. They could even hire Life Believer NPCs from other planes like the World of Segers as guards.
Therefore, on the whole, the cities of international players were much more relaxed and individualized. In other words, there was a natural beauty to them.
At the same time, because many people did not have a strong desire to buy a house, the price of the house was relatively close to the people. Only those large manors and castles near the center of the town had prices that people could only look up to.
The disadvantage was also obvious. The efficiency of the city was worse than that of the Segers world.
This was also a very troublesome matter. Apart from the cities under the three strongest international guilds, many of the international players' cities did not even have organized managers. The organizational structure was much worse than that of the Celestial Empire's players, where the seven major guilds were the core.
It was impossible to say which city was better. It could only be said that they preferred which one.
Of course, in terms of preserving value, the houses in the City of Heaven's Chosen were still better, even if they were at the edge of the city.
Tony himself preferred the cities of the Chinese players. They looked more dazzling and cool.
Compared to idyllic cities, he preferred the fantasy cities under the magical punks!
Moreover, it would be great if he could have his own house in this city. Every day when he woke up, he could see magnificent palaces, towering towers, shuttling arcanotech vehicles, and soaring magical beasts from the window. Just thinking about it was cool!
Tony walked into the real estate trading hall of the City of Heaven's Chosen with anticipation.
Although he had long known that his guild was a huge monster in the world of Segers and had extended its tentacles into every corner of the real estate market, when Tony saw that nearly 60% of the real estate property rights were related to his guild on the magic screen, he could not help but widen his eyes and burst out with a "f * ck."
This was what he had learned from the Chinese players during the voice chat in the battlefield channel. His pronunciation was very standard and did not need the system to translate.
Then, he became excited …
As a member of the Mengmeng Committee, he could get a discount when buying a house owned by his guild!
But soon, he rolled out smoothly again because he found that the house prices had risen again … The contribution points that he had prepared, even with the discount provided by the guild's benefits, did not seem to be enough for the budget.
He went to the guild encampment and exchanged a portion of his guild contribution points for contribution points. Only then did he save enough to buy a three-story villa in the southwest corner of the City of Heaven's Chosen as he wished …
The building covered an area of 120 square meters and had an indoor area of 360 square meters. It came with a 30-square-meter small garden and an oak tree planted in the garden. It was said that the oak tree had been blessed by the goddess during the defense of the Elf Forest 30 years ago in the game and had a chance to transform into an oak tree guardian in the future.
Tony did not know whether the so-called blessing was real or not, but the price of the house made his heart ache. The contribution points that he had spent were enough for him to buy a villa or a castle that covered an area of more than 1,000 square meters in the central city of the World of Dawn.
Of course, he already had his own castle in the World of Dawn. Together with the ancillary facilities, it covered an area of nearly 3,000 square meters. The castle was 500 square meters and eight stories high.
Next to the castle was a Mage Tower. Tony even "hired" an NPC Mage in exchange for the support of experimental research. Many of the potions that he carried with him were made by the NPC Mage.
In addition, the ancillary facilities of the castle even had a base for starships …
It could be said that Tony's old nest was absolutely luxurious. Even in the American player circle, it was considered a little famous.
All of this was the result of Tony's hard work in the early years.
After all … he was considered a veteran player of the World of Dawn's Western Continent.
Although Elven Nation was only a virtual online game that had been running for almost ten years, the gap between the rich and the poor in this game was not any worse than in the real world.
As one of the top 5,000 players in the entire server, even if Tony was relatively poor among the top 5,000 players, that was only relative.
The items that he had accumulated were probably more than a thousand Black-Iron or even Silver-Silver newbie players combined.
In the Transcendent World, strength was the most important. Although the length of time in the game also affected the amount of wealth accumulated, if one's strength was outstanding, they could also rely on their strength to obtain a large amount of wealth.
Not to mention other things, when the plane was being developed, Tony's status as a Gold Upper was enough to change many things.
In this game, there was a saying that was very good —
In Elven Nation, there were three ways for an ordinary player to rise up. The first was to ride on the coattails of an Orange NPC. The second was to ride on the coattails of a Gold player. The third was to become a Gold player themselves.
In the Transcendent World, strength was king. Reaching the Transcendent level would bring many things.
It was also because of this that Tony was very grateful to Gale, who had guided him through many detours and allowed him to advance to the Gold level smoothly.
After buying the house, Tony also hired two beautiful Half-Elf maids to take care of the daily chores.
It was said that they were the descendants of mixed Elves and Humans in the Orloss Demiplane. Their parents had successfully purified their bloodline and became Half-Elves. After that, they were born in the Magnificent City, Kainoran.
There were many similar Half-Elves in the Elven Forest. They were the main force of the players' employment and could be seen in all kinds of industries.
It had to be said that as he became stronger and richer in the game, Tony liked Elven Nation more and more.
If there was one thing that he was dissatisfied with, it would be that there was no birth system in the game.
Once he entered the game, it was as if he had been sealed. Although it was difficult, he would still fall in love with a certain player or even a certain NPC, but he would not have those worldly desires …
What a waste of resources!
Tony sighed.
Oh, right, he had learned this word from someone.
Who was it? The name was on the tip of his tongue, but he could not remember it at the moment. What left a deep impression was that this person would often visit the headquarters of the Adorable Committee and discuss cooperation matters with the chairman, Salty Meow. He also had a red afro …
In short, players were infertile.
Unless you died in reality and became a commemorative NPC, only then would you become a "complete" Elf.
There were not many commemorative NPCs in Elven Nation, but it was definitely not a small number. Tony knew of more than a hundred of them, and they were all relatively famous. After they died in reality, there would be obituaries in the game.
As for all of them … according to the statistics of interested players, there were at least a few hundred thousand commemorative NPCs in the entire server.
However, the most famous one was a Chinese player named "Boxed Lunch". It was said that he was once the number one player in Elven Nation, but he seemed to have died of illness.
The reason why he was famous was not only because he was the first commemorative NPC in Elven Nation, but also because his commemorative NPC account was the only one among all the players who had died to reach the Legendary level.
Moreover, he had a daughter with his elven wife in "Elven Forest".
Commemorative NPCs would try to preserve the abilities and habits of the original players as much as possible.
As far as Tony knew, even if "Boxed Lunch" had passed away, the commemorative NPC who retained the player's habits was also a fierce person.
Except for the first few years when he honestly enjoyed life, he could not stay idle. After some operations, he directly became the NPC guard captain of the City of Heaven's Chosen.
Later, he was directly promoted to the Legendary level.
It was said that because of this, he was harassed by groups of Chinese players every day, kneeling and licking his boots, wanting to gain favorability.
As a result, the commemorative NPC of this old man was annoyed, and the favorability of each and every one of them was reduced to negative numbers before he was finally relieved.
It was also interesting.
Let's cut to the chase and get back to the present.
After solving the problem of the property, there was still the renovation.
The house that he bought had actually been renovated, but Tony did not like the original style. In the end, he directly contacted the guild's construction team and asked them to give a plan according to his own ideas, which he did directly.
They were all his own guilds, so there was also a discount. Moreover, the construction team of the Mengmeng Committee definitely had a lot of experience in design and engineering.
After seeing their various previous works, Tony often suspected that even in reality, they could also become famous.
Or … it was very likely that many of the players here were originally involved in construction or design in reality, but they had returned to their old profession in the game.
With the wonderful ability of magic, construction such as renovation was far more convenient than in China. Among them, the existence of the [Purification] spell could even "remove" all kinds of pollution caused by construction with a click.
In just two days in the game, the renovation was completed.
Tony did not follow them all the way. After entrusting the matter to the construction team, he returned to the airport and drove his starship to the starship factory for modification.
In "Elven Nation," the starship modification in the City of Heaven's Chosen was the most cost-effective.
It was because the flow of people here was the largest and the transportation was the most developed. Almost all the major player guilds that opened starship factories had branches here, and most of them were near the airport.
The Mengmeng Committee also had its own starship factory, but it was not in the City of Heaven's Chosen, but in the headquarters, the City on the Peak.
In Tony's opinion, it was a city no less inferior to Shining, the main city of the World of Dawn.
In the entire world of Segers, apart from the City of Heaven's Chosen, there were at least seven such cities.
After driving the starship to the starship factory in the City on the Peak, Tony left it alone. He had communicated with the guild player in charge of the starship factory in advance, and when the time came, he would directly come to pick up the modified starship.
In the following days, he planned to give himself a vacation and play in the world of Segers.
The world of Segers was the most prosperous world in the game, and it was also the most fun world. Since he was already here, he naturally had to relax.
All kinds of combat competitions, all kinds of entertainment, all kinds of delicious food, and beautiful scenery … were very attractive.
Tony had been relaxing in the game for more than half a month.
Anyway, in reality, he was on a business trip in China, and he was not busy on weekdays. If he had nothing to do, he would stay in the sneak cabin in the office. On the surface, he called it work, but in reality, he was slacking.
If he really had something to do, he would directly open it in the game. Thinking speed was four times faster, and the processing speed was extremely fast. You deserved it.
However, on the whole, Tony still felt that "Elven Nation" did not help him much in improving his work efficiency.
Because even with the thinking speed acceleration … it would only prolong the time he spent playing the game.
As for work, it would still be delayed as much as possible, and at the last moment, he would fight back at the limit.
Twenty days later, Tony ended his vacation.
It was not because there was a new mission, nor was it because he had to work.
It was because the day of the offline party was coming.
