Game of the World Tree - Chapter 154

154. Chapter 154 I Already Have

In a small garden in the Chosen City, Li Mu is doing the daily task of taking care of the elves, little Loli and little Shota.

This was assigned to him by Alice.

At first, this task was just to help El take care of his sisters.

But with the return of Nightingale, her brothers and sisters also joined in.

These young elves will learn knowledge from Alice and Philosir for half a day every day, and then there will be two hours of exercise time.

During the exercise, the Chosen Ones are responsible for taking care of the children.

For players, this is a leisurely job.

Because they can take care of the children while practicing, and they can also brush up the NPCs…especially the favor of the little guys.

Unfortunately, not everyone can take this task.

Only players who have gained the trust of the Saint Lady will be assigned this task by her.

As one of the few players who have brushed Alice’s favor to 80, only Li Mu and Cuckoo Bird can take this task.

Alice is the only purple-framed NPC in the whole server, and her task rewards are second only to the goddess.

So… this is almost free experience and contribution.

In fact, it’s not just Alice. Among the NPCs that have opened the display of favorability, all those that Li Mu has dealt with have been favored by him.

Even Nightingale, who has only met him a few times, has a favorability of 40.

As for Alice, Basaka and the young elves he often brings with him, many of them have a favorability of more than 60.

As long as they are followers of Eve, the display of favorability for players will be open.

Although Al and Nightingale’s brothers and sisters are relatively young, they have become followers of Eve after their older brothers and sisters accepted the faith, so their favorability will also be displayed.

Of course, they are only shallow believers and cannot issue tasks.

However, even if they cannot issue tasks, the favorability of little loli and little shota has aroused the interest of players.

For most creatures, the cuteness of cubs is far better than that

of adults. As elves, who are already outstanding in appearance, they look even cuter when they are young.

The pure big eyes, the soft and tender skin, and the delicate and lovely facial features are just like the dolls given by God, and they are like the little angels from the fairy tale, which can’t help but inspire people’s desire to protect them…

Therefore, the popularity of the little guys among the players has almost soared, and soon surpassed Alice, becoming the existence second only to the goddess Eve.

Many players have come to join in the fun, trying to please the little guys in various ways, just to make them smile, and then call themselves brothers and sisters sweetly.

Well… by the way, take a screenshot, record a video, and then post it on the forum and upload it to the video network to show off.

Of course, there are also funny guys who want to coax the little guys to say some weird words…

But those players were quickly driven away by Li Mu and the cuckoo bird who were taking care of the children.

Preventing young elves from being taught strange knowledge by players is also one of their mission requirements.

However, unlike those heartless and gullible bear children of humans, the little guys are very vigilant.

If you can’t be patient and calm down to communicate, it will be difficult to gain their friendship.

What players lack most is patience…

unless there is a huge benefit.

But unfortunately, except for some life-oriented players, the little guy’s attraction to them is only limited to the level of a mascot.

After all, not everyone is as beautiful and good-looking as the goddess, and can also provide tasks with huge rewards.

So… many people gave up after the initial interest.

Of course, Li Mu is not among them.

He is the first player to gain the trust of children.

For this reason, other players also gave him a nickname “NPC Friend”.

In fact, there are many players who envy Li Mu’s relationship with NPCs.

However, most people do not have his temperament to truly deal with NPCs on an equal footing.

In other words… although brushing up favorability can bring benefits to players, it is also limited.

With this time to brush up favorability, they prefer to fight more monsters and do more tasks.

Except for some private tasks, in fact, as long as the favorability with NPCs is above a positive number, it is enough to accept their tasks.

For most players, the time cost required to obtain a higher NPC favorability is not proportional to the gains obtained.

Of course, there are also some introverted players who are really not good at socializing and don’t know how to deal with NPCs.

Not to mention NPCs, these players have a headache with interpersonal communication in reality…

In addition, the elves are too straightforward.

Even if they have accepted the gift of the “task system” from the Mother Goddess, they are serious when issuing tasks. They believe that the task system is sacred and cannot be based entirely on their own preferences, but must be relatively fair and just…

In fact, this kind of thing is also very common on Blue Star.

Sometimes the leader only says a word, and the people below will imagine a lot and do a lot of extra work that the leader doesn’t care about, or even say is unnecessary. Sometimes the results are even the opposite…

…

Just when the babysitting time agreed upon by Li Mu and Alice was about to expire, suddenly, a familiar heart-wrenching howl came from afar:

“Brother Mu, Brother Mu! Did you see that? New equipment has been released! There are dozens of sets, my god!”

Li Mu turned around and saw Demacia coming over with a sad face.

He pondered for a moment, notified Cuckoo Bird in the friend list to help take over, then looked at Demacia and asked:

“I saw it, what’s wrong?”

Demacia shook her head and sighed, saying:

“It’s over, it’s over, I just vowed on the official website a while ago that there would be absolutely no new equipment in the short term, but I was slapped in the face in an instant…”

Li Mu: …

“Who told you to swell up your face and play equipment evaluation?”

He shook his head.

“Who knew that the equipment would be updated so quickly! Oh… It seems that I have to work hard again. I was planning to save contribution points to exchange for a defensive gold suit that can withstand beatings.”

Demacia was heartbroken.

After that, he looked at Li Mu in confusion:

“By the way, Brother Mu, aren’t you in a hurry to complete the quests to exchange for new equipment? Why do I feel that you have rarely completed the quests since you did the main quest of the Orcs?”

“How about… let’s go explore Rivendell together? Many people are going there now.”

“Now the Internet is full of Rivendell exploration videos. Um… By the way, I remember you said a few days ago that you were short of money recently. How about we go explore together, and you also make a video to earn some extra money?”

He said with some anticipation.

Li Mu shook his head and replied:

“I have enough equipment.”

“What do you mean by enough! Brother Mu, didn’t you check the system? The purple epic black iron middle position has been newly added! The equipment score has increased several times compared to the purple and black!”

Demacia muttered.

After saying that, he became a little confused again:

“Besides, it seems that you are not busy. You carry children for Alice every day… I heard that you went to see the new Nightingale sister yesterday. Are you trying to improve your favorability? But is it necessary to improve your reputation so high?”

Li Mu:…

He thought about it, scratched his head and said:

“It’s not what you think. It is still useful… I think it’s just that the official has not fully brought out the role of favorability.”

“The theme of “Elf Kingdom” is the rise of the elves. It’s not just us who represent the elves, but also the NPCs! And the main feature of this game is the sense of immersion, so I think our relationship with the NPCs is still very important.”

“Trust me, the official will take action on favorability sooner or later. It will be worth it if you improve your favorability as soon as possible. When there are more players in the future, it may be difficult to improve it.”

Demacia listened and shook his head:

“Brother Mu, to be honest, I don’t think favorability plays a big role. My reputation value is still 0 now, but haven’t I successfully accepted the quests?”

“Besides, it’s time for you to level up. You’ve been so lazy lately that even I’m level 18 now, and I’m two levels ahead of you!”

“And… equipment! There’s new equipment, so we have to update it?”

Demacia said excitedly, pointing at the system exchange interface.

“I already have the equipment.”

Li Mu shook his head.

He took out a rough staff and showed off his obviously modified robes:

“I picked up the equipment of the Orc High Priest before. I brought back his staff and priest robes. Here… I modified them and put them on.”

Demacia:…

“Oh my god, it turns out that the one who picked up the equipment of the Orc BOSS is you, Brother Mu!”

He widened his eyes.

Li Mu nodded, and then said:

“The system has appraised them. They are all white ordinary-level silver lower-level equipment. Although they have no special effects, the ratings are similar to those of gold and black lower-level equipment. So I don’t plan to exchange them until better equipment appears.”

Demacia:…

“Damn it, why didn’t I think of picking up the BOSS’s equipment at the beginning!”

He was heartbroken and envious.

While the two were talking, a system message suddenly floated across the vision of all players——
