Game of the World Tree - Chapter 153

153. Chapter 153 Eve’s Plan (two in one, extra chapter for leader yyze)

“How come new equipment is released so soon?”

The players looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Is it because of the promotion of Hefan Boss?”

“Oh my god… Is the equipment exchange in this game tied to the player’s promotion level? Will new equipment be released after the level is upgraded?”

“Damn it, I just exchanged for epic equipment and all my contribution points were cleared!”

“Oh no… my liver hurts again.”

“Why is the dog planner so anxious to update the equipment? He doesn’t even let us slow down…”

“Hurry up and take a look at the new equipment!”

They cursed the dog planner while opening the exchange mall in the system.

Sure enough, a batch of new equipment was added to the equipment exchange column.

There are strength-related equipment and spellcasting-related equipment, from shoes to armor, to robes, to weapons… All are marked as black iron-level equipment.

However, there are only three quality levels: white common, blue rare, and purple epic. The gold legendary equipment is not on the shelves.

From the appearance, these equipments are not much different from the lower-tier Black Iron equipments in terms of quality, but in the rating of equipment data, their ratings are much higher than the lower-tier Black Iron equipments of the same quality.

The weapons and equipments in Elf Kingdom do not indicate specific attribute information, such as “Damage +5”, “Armor Break +10”, “Defense +20” and so on in ordinary online games.

This is because the game Elf Kingdom is full of uncertainty. Simple data sometimes cannot explain anything. It is not appropriate to classify equipment by specific attributes.

Well… this is what the players think.

However, although there are no specific values, equipments of blue rarity and above will have some special effects, which are not only reflected in appearance, but also in characteristics.

For example, “Toughness”, equipment with toughness effect looks more shiny and is more durable to use.

For example, the blue rare human equipment seized by the lunch team was evaluated as having the “toughness” characteristic after the system appraisal.

Generally speaking, the rarer the equipment, the more special effects it has, and the more powerful it is.

For example, the black iron lower-level devil’s staff of the golden legendary level exchanged by Xiao Xian Miao even has three enviable characteristics: “accelerated casting”, “enhanced spell effects” and “accelerated meditation”.

It is not just weapons and equipment that have blurred values…

Although the player’s personal status bar still has value bars such as health and magic points, there are even four attribute values of physique, strength, agility and magic.

However, in actual combat, players find that these data can only be used as a reference, and cannot be regarded as the real combat power level.

When you are unlucky, someone may stab you in the vitals, and your blood tank will bottom out all of a sudden.

And this… also makes players feel that this virtual reality game is more real and more interesting.

After all, reality is often full of uncertainty.

Equipment does not have specific attributes, but instead, it is replaced by equipment ratings.

Generally speaking, the higher the rating, the better the quality of the equipment!

And the equipment rating will be included in the personal combat power rating.

After looking at the newly listed equipment, the players found that their ratings and rankings compared to the previous equipment were roughly as follows:

White Black Iron Lower ＜ Blue Black Iron Lower ＜ White Black Iron Middle ＜ Purple Black Iron Lower ＜ Blue Black Iron Middle ＜ Purple Black Iron Middle ＜ Gold Black Iron Lower

. The contribution points required for exchange were also similar to the ratings, roughly:

White Black Iron Lower ＜ Blue Black Iron Lower ＜ White Black Iron Middle ＜ Purple Black Iron Lower ＝ Blue Black Iron Middle ＜ Purple Black Iron Middle ＜ Gold Black Iron Lower.

Seeing that the purple epic Black Iron Lower equipment was ranked relatively high, the players who exchanged were slightly relieved.

At least… this ensured that their exchange was not meaningless.

However, when they saw that the same contribution points could be exchanged for the higher-rated blue rare Black Iron Middle equipment, they immediately felt that they had lost out…

“Damn, if I had known I would have exchanged it later, I would have directly exchanged it for the blue rare Black Iron Middle suit, which would have a higher rating…”

some players sighed.

“It’s not bad, at least… our purple epic has two special effects, while the blue rare equipment only has one.”

Another player consoled himself.

Features are still very important, and those equipment with good special effects are often more popular with players.

However, when Eve added special effects to the equipment, she almost added them randomly…

Well, this is definitely not because he is lazy, but to increase the fun of the players.

Before taking the redeemed equipment out of the system, the mall only shows how many special effects the equipment has.

Only after taking out the equipment, you will know what special effects your equipment has.

In other words, whether the special effects of the redeemed equipment are good or not depends on luck…

Well, this is a game for Europeans.

Of course, except for gold legendary equipment.

All gold legendary equipment has the best special effects, and it is also marked in advance what the special effects are.

At this time, some people also noticed that among all the equipment on the shelves, the highest-rated one is still the gold legend below the black iron.

This made them sigh:

“A golden legend is a golden legend after all… Even the purple equipment in Black can’t compare to the gold equipment in Black!”

“After all, it’s a toy for the rich…”

“Ahhh! When can I own a golden legendary!”

“It’s too expensive… Tens of thousands of contribution points for one piece, which can be exchanged for two or three sets of purple equipment.”

“By the way, the only one in gold equipment now is Xiao Xianmao, right?”

“She is a local tyrant, we can’t compare to her. I heard that when she was PKing with others before, she turned on the magic shield on her robe, and no one could beat her even when she was standing.”

“Awesome!”

“Boss Hefan also has a gold dagger. I heard that it was exchanged for an out-of-print item in the mall, and it’s a particularly powerful one among the gold equipment.”

“We are all tough guys, so we’d better save up the purple equipment in Black, the ratings are quite different…”

Looking at the newly listed equipment, the joy of graduation in their hearts is completely gone.

When they saw the contribution points required for the purple epic black iron mid-level equipment, they felt their legs go weak:

“Oh my god… a purple legendary black iron mid-level equipment actually requires 20,000 or 30,000 contribution points… why don’t you go and grab it?”

“No, my liver hurts again!”

“Don’t mention it… just keep grinding.”

The players shook their heads, sighed, and left the side hall of the Temple of Nature.

Although the gold legendary black lower equipment still has the highest score, several civilian players did not consider it.

Because… you get what you pay for.

Even if more advanced equipment is released, the contribution point requirement for gold legendary black lower equipment is still nearly twice that of purple black middle…

There is no gold legendary equipment with a contribution point of less than 50,000.

…

“Well, let’s do it this way for now! Gold legendary equipment can wait a while before launching it. After all, gold is the most precious. Let the players get used to the others first.”

After putting the equipment on the mall, Eve was quite satisfied with the players’ reactions.

Although they cursed the dog planner a few times, the players still honestly went to grind the tasks.

After putting the equipment on the shelf, Eve also began to think about the next development.

“After killing the demigod of Uller this time, he will definitely not give up, but… with my warning, he may fight back in the form of a war of faith…”

The war of faith is a common fighting mode of the true gods.

In a nutshell, the true gods do not take action, but rely on the war between believers to decide the outcome.

This is a rule that exists only in the main material plane to protect the believers.

After all, the true god is too powerful. If he attacks with all his strength in the main material world, the damage caused will be quite terrible, and the worst may even destroy the plane.

The power of the true god comes from faith, and faith comes from believers… It can be said that believers are the cornerstone of the true god.

When the true god loses all his believers in the war of faith, his cornerstone is gone.

The petitioners who ascend to the kingdom of God will gradually merge with the true god over time. In other words, the petitioners are not eternal and will eventually perish, but this time is relatively long for ordinary creatures.

When the number of believers is reduced to zero and the petitioners perish, the true god will completely lose the source of his power.

At that time, what awaits them is only death or sleep…

For the new gods, believers are even more important.

Senior true gods have countless petitioners and a lot of divine power. Even if they lose their believers, they can survive for a certain period of time and seek opportunities to restore faith.

But the new gods are different. They have shallow foundations, and many of them don’t even have a kingdom of God.

Even if there are, the number of people who can pray for merging is limited, not to mention the power of God.

Generally speaking, as long as their believers are destroyed, the new god will not be far from destruction.

So… Eve guessed that Uller would definitely choose to start a war of faith!

Eve’s disguise is the new god.

In the eyes of ordinary people, as long as his power in the Forest of Elves is destroyed, he will definitely die.

And this… is what Eve wants.

War will bring death.

And a large-scale war will give him the opportunity to devour vitality!

Uller’s believers have a large number of bases. Eve uses players as shields and spears to fight Uller’s believers, and can naturally use war sacrifices to steal their vitality!

A little bit makes a lot… It’s also quite terrifying.

In fact, this is also the way many evil gods strengthen themselves…

Most evil gods also gain power by provoking wars and performing blood sacrifices.

It’s just that they absorb not only vitality, but also souls, so they are hostile to the gods.

Of course, Eve will never admit that she is an evil god.

Well, He is just recovering the life force lost in the war of faith, and he does not touch other people’s souls. How can He be considered evil?

Besides, is there such a good-looking evil god?

Anyway… even if He does not recover the life force, the life force will dissipate, so it is better to let Him absorb it.

However, the war of faith requires preparation time.

Uller cannot send a large army to attack soon, so Eve has now gained a precious period of development.

He can use this time to develop his power.

After all… with the current strength of the players, if Eve does not take action, they will definitely not be able to win the war of faith.

Although they can be resurrected, they cannot withstand the enemy’s strength!

When the gap in strength is large enough, unlimited resurrection will be meaningless…

Eve can take action occasionally, but if she takes action more than a few times, people will doubt her.

Therefore… it is imperative to improve the strength of the players and develop the power of the Forest of Elves.

“You can consider taking advantage of this time to do some farming!”

“Rivendell has been found, so exploration is definitely a must. It would be great if we could find some ancient books.”

“Also, although the Elven Forest is rich in products, its mineral resources are relatively poor. You can consider letting the players rebuild Rivendell like they rebuilt Florence, and look for mineral veins…”

“However, we don’t have enough manpower at this stage, so we can wait a while.”

“The underground world can also be explored. I can stay out of it for now. The players are very curious, and they will definitely be tempted to go in. I’ll make other decisions based on their feedback at that time.” “

Maybe… the monsters in the underground world can also provide me with a certain amount of vitality!”

“Once we have explored the underground world, we can consider launching a public beta.”

“However… it feels too early to launch a public beta now, because the foundation of the Elven Forest has not yet been laid. If too many players rush in at once, it will definitely be a mess, and I don’t have that much divine power to waste…”

“Well… if it really doesn’t work, then limit the number of people. Or simply don’t do a public beta, but an internal beta, but with more people.”

“As for the specific number of people, it’s between 5,000 and 10,000. At most, it will cost more than 30 points of divine power. With this number of people and the player’s ability to resurrect, if we fight a defensive war, we also have the potential to fight a war of faith.”

Eve now has nearly 400 points of divine power. She is rich and powerful, so a mere 30 points of divine power is acceptable.

“But it’s still early, so don’t rush. There is another thing to deal with at this stage…”

Eve sighed, recalling the performance of the players when attacking the Orc tribe and the human caravan…

“Some of the players’ styles are still too… We have to find a way to make them pay attention to their eating manners, or their image… At least, it can be justified on the surface.”

“Otherwise, it will not be conducive to the cooperation between the players and the indigenous elves. When more players come, it will definitely be a mess.”

Although Li Mu’s game evaluation changed the players’ perception of NPCs during the internal test, it is obvious that the effect is limited.

In fact, this is also Eve’s fault.

After all, games are games. No matter how strong the sense of substitution is, you can’t force players to really treat games as they treat reality…

This actually has both advantages and disadvantages.

Making the world gamified will not only fill players with passion and motivation, but will also create many hidden dangers.

It is certain that players will be distracted and impatient.

After all…reality is already so cruel, can’t we let ourselves go when playing games?

However, Eve’s requirements for players are not high.

When “going through the plot”, players just need to behave like human beings and not really scare the natives.

Otherwise…it will really become a “natural disaster”.

In a word, it is necessary to make players truly aware of how to improve the favorability of the native elves towards them faster and how to truly integrate into this game world.

As for how to do it, Eve already has ideas.

Among the players, there are actually excellent examples of doing very well in this regard.

That was Li Mu.

Li Mu almost completely played role-playing, and was learning the behavior of the elves in all aspects, of course… except for the elves’ stubborn kindness and goodness.

As a result, all the elves he had dealt with had a high favorability towards him.

This… can be said to be a very successful case of players integrating into the indigenous elves.

And what Eve has to do is to let other players take the initiative to learn Li Mu’s attitude towards the game.

To put it bluntly, players just need a guide and let them see the benefits of “being more disciplined”.

After all, role-playing has its own unique appeal.

Please vote for the monthly ticket!

Two updates combined into one. I added two days of updates, which is considered to have paid back part of the owed updates. Now I still owe the leader Mihara Chisa two new updates, and five updates for the first order results…

Oh my, why are there so many…

There will be no more today, good night everyone.
