Breakfast passed very quickly.
After breakfast, Tony, Yeye, and Nainai headed to the exhibition center next door.
Today was the first day of the offline celebration. There would be a grand celebration and performance in the exhibition hall. It was also the busiest day of the event.
It could be considered the opening ceremony. As there was a gala at night, it was held during the day.
When the two of them entered the exhibition hall, it was already packed with people. There was a long queue at the entrance of the multi-purpose exhibition hall.
All of them had to enter the hall.
The few of them joined the queue. At this time, there was no distinction between invited players and registered players. At most, the seats after entering the hall would be different, and the invited players would have better seats.
However, there seemed to be too many people in the queue. It was even more ridiculous than some large-scale international comic exhibitions.
Tony had done a strategy before coming. This situation was really out of his expectations.
He couldn't help but ask this question. Yeye and Nainai looked at him in surprise.
"Brother Tony, didn't you see the publicity for this event?"
"Event? Publicity? "
Tony was slightly taken aback.
This … He really didn't pay attention to it.
After exploring the map, other than work, he played in Segers. After knowing the exact date of the offline celebration, he asked Salty Meow for an invitation ticket and stopped paying attention to it.
Even after arriving yesterday, he went to the hotel to rest very quickly. He didn't look at the details of the celebration in detail.
Even Feng Wu and the rest parted ways after catching up with each other for a while.
Now that he thought about it … since yesterday, the players he met seemed to be getting more and more excited.
After thinking about it, he took out the information about the celebration and browsed through it.
It was bilingual in Chinese and English. However, his Chinese was not bad. Even though it was all in Chinese, it didn't seem to be difficult.
When he saw the black shadow on the cover, which he could tell was a woman's shadow, as well as the big question mark on the shadow and the words beside it, he had a thought.
"Opening ceremony speech? A mystery guest in the game? "
Every offline celebration would invite some important guests to give opening speeches.
These guests were usually related to "Elven Nation".
For example, famous players in the game, famous people who also played "Elven Nation" in real life, and a famous movie star who acted in a popular movie set in "Elven Nation" a few years ago.
But … what the hell was "mystery guest in the game"?
"Could it be another important player?"
Tony was suspicious.
However, Yeye and Nainai shook their heads.
"How is that possible? Even Brother Mu didn't keep us in suspense the last time he congratulated us. Is there any player in the game who is more famous than Brother Mu as a streamer?"
"That's true …"
Tony nodded.
Other than Li Mu, there weren't many other popular players in the game.
Feng was one of them, but in terms of popularity, he couldn't be compared to Li Mu, not to mention that Feng had also indicated that he wouldn't be coming this time.
Then … who could it be?
"In the game" … It can't be an NPC in the game, right?
Tony muttered in his heart.
He looked at his two friends from the Celestial Empire and voiced his thoughts. Yeye and Nainai looked at each other and smiled.
Tony's eyelid twitched.
"Are they really NPCs from the game?"
"According to the gossip, it should be. It is said that the officials of Elven Nation are also participating in this event. It seems that they are going to use virtual projection technology."
Ye Ye finally stopped keeping them in suspense and told them everything he knew.
"Virtual projection?"
Tony's eyes lit up.
Virtual projection technology had appeared as early as the second half of the 20th century, and it was also known as holographic projection technology.
However, the large-scale application of this technology had to wait until the era of the virtual network officially arrived.
The NPCs in Elven Nation were extremely intelligent. It seemed that it was possible to use virtual projection technology to recreate the characters in the game!
At this moment, Tony thought of a lot of things, and he gradually became excited.
A game was a game, and reality was reality.
However, sometimes, this boundary could be broken.
Thinking of this, he looked at the cover of the brochure again. To be more precise, he looked at the shadow of the woman whose identity couldn't be distinguished. Familiar NPCs flashed across his mind one after another.
Alice, Big Sister, Diana, Aurora …
Who could it be?
He didn't guess that it was the Goddess, because a few years ago, there were rumors that the Goddess seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
It was even said that because this news spread out, the Abyssal Demon Gods became restless and almost triggered an Abyssal War. However, there seemed to be internal strife within the Abyssal Demon Gods later on, and Tony wasn't very clear about the specific details.
Anyway, it seemed that the Demon Gods didn't agree with each other.
In short, according to the nature of Elven Nation, since the Goddess had fallen into a deep sleep, it shouldn't be her.
Then …
Could it really be Alice?
No, no, no … it could also be the Fairy Queen, Fenelle!
Tony guessed, and he became more and more curious about the so-called mysterious guest.
At this moment, Yeye also voiced the most popular guess on the Internet:
"However … the most popular guess is that it's the Goddess Eve. It's also because of this that so many people are participating this time."
"Goddess? No … it shouldn't be. You know that the Goddess fell into a deep sleep ten years ago in the game. The one active in the eyes of the players now is said to be an incarnation. "
Tony subconsciously shook his head.
However, Yeye said,
"Big Brother Tony, you said it yourself. It's been ten years. What if … the Goddess has awakened?"
The Goddess has awakened?
Tony's heart skipped a beat.
"Yeye, did you hear something in the game?"
"Not us. Big Brother Tony, do you know Cyber?"
"Cyber? The Chinese player who saved the Frost Elves and has a very high status among the elves? "
"Yes, he once heard a few elven myths talk about it. The Goddess seems to have fallen into a deep sleep for ten years."
"I heard about it from the elven myths … Damn it, this favorability is really enviable. I've only seen zero in all the elven myths, and she doesn't really care about me. The last time I saw her, I don't know what I said wrong, but she seemed to ignore me even more."
"Haha, everyone is the same. Maybe … someone like Cyber is the real boss."
"So, now everyone is guessing that the Goddess will descend?"
"Although the possibility isn't high, it's not impossible. Even if it's just a small possibility, it's enough for everyone to be excited."
"That's true. As long as you're the Chosen One of the Goddess Eve, then we're brothers and sisters from different mothers!"
"Hahaha, Big Brother Tony, you know this too?"
"Of course. Don't you know how many years I've been in the Chinese player circle?"
Tony laughed.
After talking with Yeye Nainai, he looked forward to the upcoming celebration even more.
The three of them chatted as they queued up.
The efficiency of entering the venue was very high. Soon, it was their turn. Tony handed in his invitation ticket and entered the venue.
The venue was very big, and it had no problem accommodating 5,000 people. This was a multi-purpose exhibition hall. It was said that not only did it host conferences and performances, but it also hosted international sports events.
Tony found his seat according to his number. It was quite a good seat. It was right in the front row, and it faced the stage.
He looked carefully. It seemed that almost all the invited players were in this area. Also, he didn't know if it was intentional or not, but everyone was allocated their seats according to their guilds.
However, when it was time to sit, there were many who changed their seats. In Elf Nation, although the players were divided into different groups by the big and small guilds, there were still good relationships between the different guilds in private.
This was especially true for these invited professional players.
Coincidentally, Tony's seat was the same as Yeye Nainai's.
Along the way, Yeye and Nainai met a few friends, and they even got to know Tony.
One of them was Ah Can, a famous player from the All-Stars of the seven major guilds in China. In reality, he was an old man who looked like he had gone through a lot.
The other was a high-level player from Nature's Heart. He was a Druid player who was especially loved by the elemental fairies. His name was Xiamu, and he was a gentle young man in reality.
After greeting each other and adding each other as friends, they sat down.
It was already 9: 30 PM. According to the schedule, the opening ceremony was about to begin.
In the past few years, the performances of the offline celebration had vaguely established a pattern. Generally speaking, the players would first give a congratulatory speech, then there would be songs and dances related to Elf Nation. After that, there would be drama performances, micro-movies, and interactive games.
The players in the hall were almost all seated. Hmm … at least 90% of the people who came should be players. Of course, there could be some players' family members, or fans who loved Elf Nation very much, or players who were cloud players.
With 5,000 people gathered in the venue, it was quite a scene. Especially since it was indoors, it was bustling, and the sound would not spread out. Instead, it was even livelier.
It was not until the melodious music slowly sounded and the lights in the hall were slowly extinguished that the noise of the people gradually died down …
The next moment, the hall was plunged into darkness. The soothing and ethereal music played, and the familiar and beautiful melody kept flowing. An ancient song gently echoed in the hall.
"The sky is just beginning to brighten, and the night is about to fade away."
"The morning light of dawn slowly awakens the sleeping creatures."
"The music gently sounds, and the melodious surges."
"The flowers slowly bloom, emitting a natural fragrance."
"The sun rises and sets."
"Every day begins with new hope."
"The melody is melodious."
"The bards are singing in the early morning of Jadeite."
"Merciful Mother Goddess."
"May you shine for thousands of miles."
"I am your most devout child."
"I offer you my immortal glory."
"Merciful Mother Goddess."
"May you shine for thousands of miles."
"I am your most devout child."
"I offer you my immortal glory."
"…"
It was the most popular and most beautiful piece of music in "Elven Kingdom" — "Cold Jade Morning".
Hearing this beautiful melody, the audience in the hall consciously quieted down.
For a moment, the hall with thousands of people was as quiet as the night. Only the ethereal song kept echoing.
Suddenly, the dark stage faintly lit up, and specks of photons kept converging like a dream.
It was a halo projected by a laser beam in the distance.
The photons kept converging, and gradually, a beautiful picture scroll unfolded on the stage. It was the beautiful Elf Forest!
As the radiance shrouded the hall, the illusory projection of the unforgettable forest in the game was projected in the form of light. In that very moment, the players found themselves back in the Elven Forest under the multicolored radiance!
The melodious music continued to flutter, and there were bursts of exclamations in the hall. Even Tony's eyes were full of shock as he looked at the Elf Forest that was about to descend beside him …
This was the most advanced projection technology in Bluestar.
At this moment, the world in the game was moved into the hall.
The surrounding scenery kept moving along with the ethereal music. Gradually, the magnificent City of Heaven's Chosen was reflected in the eyes of the audience!
Elves shuttled back and forth between the cities.
No, they weren't elves, but players in the game. They were busy and free.
At this moment, the audience suddenly realized that this wasn't just a simple projection, but a projection of the scene in the game!
And this group of players probably didn't know that they were on TV yet.
They were really on TV. After all, every offline celebration event was broadcasted live on the Internet.
For a moment, the hall was filled with excited cheers from the audience, mixed with a few whistles. Some even shouted, "Long live the Elf Forest, long live the City of Heaven's Chosen!"
Tony was also excited.
The experience of seeing a game scene in real life inexplicably made people more excited.
Especially with this classic background music, he couldn't help but think of the days when he had just entered the pit and adventured with the NPCs.
On the stage, in the hall.
The projected illusion was still moving.
Under the excited gazes of the players, accompanied by the beautiful melody, the field of view kept changing. They passed through the streets of the City of Heaven's Chosen and entered the majestic temple.
The figure of the Saintess of Life, Alice, appeared in front of everyone. She seemed to be smiling at everyone, bowed slightly, and then opened the door further inside.
The next moment, bright light filled the venue, and the background music began to rise. It seemed that the chapter was about to reach the climax. The projected field of view also suddenly rose.
The next moment, accompanied by bursts of exclamations, an illusory starry sky appeared in everyone's field of view.
No, it wasn't the starry sky.
It was the endless void of the world of Segers!
The planes and worlds were like stars, floating and spinning around the audience.
And in the center of the universe, on the stage, the majestic World Tree stood proudly!
The field of view leaped again, rapidly approaching the World Tree. Zooming in …
Soon, they arrived in front of a solemn temple.
The next moment, the door of the temple slowly opened. Accompanied by a bright golden light, a lively temple appeared in everyone's field of view.
On both sides of the temple stood myths that the players were familiar with. Diana, Aurora, Eris, Merril, and the others were there.
They faced the deeper parts of the temple with respectful expressions.
When the door opened, they all turned their heads and nodded toward the direction of the field of view.
Seeing this scene, Tony vaguely knew who the mysterious guest was …
His eyes quickly became excited, and the other players in the venue became more and more excited.
The next moment, the field of view continued to go deeper, and the door of the temple in the deepest part suddenly opened.
The background music reached the climax, and the bright holy light descended under the projection.
Under the almost fanatical gazes of the players, a beautiful figure appeared on the illusory temple in the center of the stage.
She wore the Divine Crown of Nature and a holy dress. She sat on the throne with one hand on the armrest and the other hand gently supporting her cheek. She looked at the players with a smile on her face.
The familiar and ethereal voice that was unforgettable to every player echoed in the hall.
"Brave Chosen One, welcome to the Elven Kingdom …"
It was the opening line of every game and every offline celebration.
At this moment, there was no longer any suspense about the identity of the mysterious guest.
Deafening cheers and shouts resounded throughout the venue, and these cheers and shouts gradually converged into a chorus of praises.
"Praise Nature! Praise Life! Praise the great Goddess Eve! "
