Game of the World Tree - Chapter 155

155. Chapter 155 Brother Mu, it’s so hard for me!

“Patch update?”

The two were slightly stunned.

Since the internal beta test, Elf Kingdom has only had one major version update and one minor version update.

Although ordinary players often find that the game system seems to update some small things inadvertently, they are all harmless refinements.

It’s an internal beta test! I understand.

But it’s the first time that a patch update is released in the form of an announcement.

Li Mu and Demacia looked at the time and didn’t care anymore.

It’s just ten minutes, and they will log off in advance.

…

When Li Mu planned to enter the game again, it was already the second day on Blue Star.

Taking advantage of this update, he completely disconnected from the game cabin and had a good sleep in reality.

Before, when he slept in reality, his consciousness was in the game.

Although physical fatigue can be restored by sleeping, long-term games will still bring mental fatigue.

Of course, some players have found that this problem can also be solved.

That is, when entering the game in a dream, let your consciousness also sleep in the game.

However, Li Mu is still used to disconnecting from the game cabin every once in a while to have a good rest.

Otherwise… he felt that sooner or later he would not be able to distinguish between games and reality.

“Elf Kingdom” was so realistic that it reminded Li Mu of a series of old movies “The Matrix” that he had watched before.

As time went on, he became more and more suspicious that the official had built this masterpiece-level virtual online game according to the standards of “The Matrix”.

It was really unbelievable, even shitting was done, I don’t know whether to say it was simulation or perverted…

If it weren’t for the system and BGM, I’m afraid he would really confuse it with reality.

In short, it can be confirmed that the technology used in “Elf Kingdom” should be different from other online games.

Perhaps… this is the real stealth online game in the minds of players.

Li Mu sighed in his heart.

And coupled with the accelerated thinking like a cheat, if the player spends more time in the game, maybe it will really be affected to a certain extent…

“Actually… if this game is really real, it would be great. But unfortunately, games are games after all.”

Li Mu sighed, while starting the game cabin, while flipping through his phone to check his up master’s background.

Time entered July, and the university was on summer vacation, so Li Mu had more free time.

However, as a streamer, he has not broadcast live for almost a month…

He has been playing games in the house almost every day these days. Apart from eating, taking a bath and uploading videos regularly, he has done almost nothing else.

As for the uploaded videos, they are naturally the videos recorded in “Elf Kingdom”. The content mainly includes the recorded clips of Li Mu playing the game, as well as some skills he has learned in the game, such as how to quickly improve the favorability of NPCs.

As a game review streamer, Li Mu has been addicted to it since playing Elf Kingdom, and has never touched other virtual reality games.

Due to the existence of accelerated thinking, “Elf Kingdom” cannot be broadcasted normally on Blue Star, so his live broadcast room has been abandoned.

Fortunately, the recorded broadcast is still OK. Although “Elf Kingdom” has not been publicly tested, it has already attracted countless fans online.

Li Mu simply became a part-time up master, relying on the traffic brought by the recorded broadcast, he can still barely make a living.

However, as a review streamer, Li Mu’s game level is not very strong, and the recorded game videos are not good enough.

He is not the only up-master who was selected as an internal test player by “Elf Kingdom”, and there are many masters who are very good at late-stage.

So… although his videos have a lot of traffic, they are not popular among the videos related to “Elf Kingdom”.

However, this time he habitually opened his up-master background, and found that the number of clicks on his recorded videos suddenly exploded.

Especially the series of videos “How to Improve NPC Favorability in “Elf Kingdom”” that he made before.

In this series of videos, Li Mu summarized some characteristics of the elf NPCs in “Elf Kingdom”.

He combined the official elf history and analyzed the elves’ concepts, their personalities, their preferences, etc. in detail… to help players communicate better with NPCs.

However, when this series of videos was first uploaded, the response was not good.

It takes too long to brush the NPC’s favorability, and the benefits are limited.

Even if you don’t brush the favorability, as long as you are a little respectful when you receive the task, the NPC will still give you the task.

Although you may be assigned some private tasks after brushing the favorability to the extreme and gaining the trust of the NPC, most players think that it is better to brush monsters with this time.

Except for the purple NPC Alice, they don’t think other NPCs are worth killing.

For the real hardcore players, the fastest way to level up at this stage is to form a group to kill monsters, in addition to the main quests with huge rewards.

Therefore, Li Mu had expected the video to be tepid.

But… what’s going on now?

Li Mu noticed that the traffic data of the series of videos he uploaded suddenly increased tenfold!

When he went to bed yesterday, it was still lukewarm.

This made him a little confused:

“Why did so many clicks and comments increase all of a sudden?”

He roughly flipped through it and found that many of the comments were left by internal test players:

“Congratulations on discovering the treasure of “Elf Kingdom”!”

This is the comment with the highest number of likes.

“The front row is absorbing a wave of luck, big brother 666!”

This is the second comment.

“Fuck! Brother Mu is worthy of being Brother Mu! The front row is watching the prophecy emperor.”

This is the third comment.

“‘NPC’s favorability is definitely not aimless, the official will sooner or later make a move on the favorability system.’ After reading this sentence in the video, Mu Da, are you really not an official child?”

…

Li Mu: …

What is going on?

He was even more confused.

Li Mu opened a chat software on his phone again, and then was surprised to find that his chat list had also exploded.

He received a lot of private messages, almost all of which were sent by guild friends in the offline chat group of the Nature Heart Guild.

He took a quick glance and opened the dialog box with Demacia. What caught his eye was a big exclamation mark:

“!!!”

“Brother Mu–!!! Help! Woohoo… I’m done! I’m really done this time!”

“Please teach me some tips on how to quickly build relationships with NPCs! Otherwise, I’ll be in trouble!”

“By the way, and one more thing, you must help me draw some equipment after entering the game! It’s so hard for me!”

Li Mu:…

What’s all this nonsense?

Hmm…

Wait, the updated content is related to favorability?

Li Mu’s eyes lit up.

He took a deep breath, put down his phone, and couldn’t wait to enter the game cabin…

“Start the game-“Elf Kingdom”!”

…

When Li Mu entered the game, he finally saw the description of the game’s updated content.

Li Mu didn’t hesitate and clicked it directly-

[“Elf Kingdom” Favorability and Reputation Value Patch Update Description-]

[Strengthen Favorability System]

[The player’s NPC task rewards will be bound to the favorability of the NPC who issued the task. Positive favorability will get extra bonuses, up to 100% (double the reward); negative favorability will get task reward penalties, up to 50% (halved reward). 】

【Improved and strengthened reputation system】

This buff effect is valid once a day. 】

Li Mu: …

please give me a monthly ticket!

There will probably be no more updates tonight. It’s mainly because I’m getting busy in reality. After all, I’m a graduate, and my thesis and graduation project haven’t been completed yet. My tutor is urging me to do so. I didn’t do anything except writing in the past two days…

But I still remember the updates I owe, and I will make up for them as soon as I have time. My grades are good, and I want to update more, but the premise is to ensure the quality (laughing and crying).

In the future, it should be a fixed two updates per day, with additional updates from time to time.

As for the owed updates, I will try my best to pay them all back in December!
