Game of the World Tree - Chapter 474
474. Chapter 472 The Fun of the Game (asking for monthly tickets!)
Let’s not talk about Demacia, which missed the golden legend.
With the emergence of the Life Priest Strategy, the faith preaching of the Life Church on the Orros demiplane gradually reached a peak.
Players who intend to develop into the priest profession, as well as various player guilds with conditions, have formed preaching groups in imitation of the Nature Heart Guild and started priest work.
As time goes by, more and more players become part-time priests and main priests.
Of course, although the priest profession can be part-time, it is very attractive to players, but not everyone is interested.
Even many part-time players are just greedy for the priest’s healing magic.
However, just like every profession has its own specialty, there are also many players who gradually become addicted to the priest profession.
Compared with those part-time priests, these players who regard the priest’s gameplay as a kind of fun are the main priests that Eve needs.
These players tend to be those who prefer life and prefer plots and communication with NPCs to fighting. Although they are not at the forefront in various combat missions, they have long become an indispensable part of the Chosen One system.
After the priest profession was opened, it was these players who were promoted the fastest.
Only one week after the release of the priest strategy, Eve sensed through the game system that nearly 3,000 players were promoted to apprentice priests, and among them, there were also hundreds of players whose priest level was promoted to the lower level of black iron.
This speed was beyond Eve’s expectations, so that the priest robes that He had prepared in the exchange mall were almost not enough.
But in the end, Eve gritted her teeth and spent more than ten points of divine power to directly create a batch of priest robes in the kingdom of God, and then projected them into the real world to solve the problem.
Priest robes do not have to be created by Eve herself. In fact, this job should be produced by the church itself.
However, authentic priest robes require the blessing of the true god, and the only one who can make so many priest robes in a short period of time is Eve herself.
It is worth mentioning that the true God can use divine power to create items in the Kingdom of God.
However, it is more expensive to transfer items directly generated by divine power to the real world, and generally it is not worth the loss.
Therefore, considering the benefits, the true God will often not do such thankless things.
That is to say, Eve will spend divine power to do this under special circumstances.
After all, the priest robe is still very important, and in a sense it is also the face of a church.
Although the players are not true priests, since they have chosen this profession, Eve will naturally prepare the equipment.
Well, in fact, it is just that the divine power is surplus, and He has divine power and is willful.
Of course, only after becoming a formal priest, that is, at least after level 11, can the priest robe be exchanged.
Eve is very concerned about the players’ priest profession.
And the players did not disappoint Him.
These more than 3,000 players who have opened the priest profession have brought a large number of new believers to Eve.
Behind each trainee priest, there are at least three residents of Oros who have become Eve’s believers.
Each priest below the Iron rank converted at least ten believers.
This also means that within less than twenty days after the priest profession was opened, Eve had tens of thousands of believers!
At this moment, the number of his believers has changed again –
[Number of believers: 36,389 (1 Saint, 128 Fanatics, 3,611 Devout Believers, 32,649 Shallow Believers)]
[Types of believers: Crypt Spider Queen (1), Dragon (1), Oak Guard (105), Elves (2,157), Half-Elves (244), Elf-Mixed Humans (33,824), Humans (58)]
This efficiency is really terrifying, and Eve was very surprised.
You know, a month ago, the total number of his believers was only 25,000, and that was because when he inherited the Orros demiplane, 20,000 of the Creator God’s believers were directly converted into his believers.
Now, the priest profession has only been open for less than 20 days, and the number of his believers has increased by more than 10,000 again, reaching more than 36,000!
This speed is much faster than Eve expected.
He originally thought that it would be quite difficult for him to accumulate 100,000 believers, and it might take at least a year or two, but he did not expect the efficiency of the players to exceed his imagination.
Of course, this is also because the special nature of the Oros plane has determined that it is very suitable for the development of faith here.
Unlike Blue Star, the Segos universe is a universe dominated by the true God, and the power of faith has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After Oros’s sacrifice, although many residents became non-believers, they still have awe of the true God in their subconscious. Although they are not believers, they are also potential targets for pursuit.
These people, with a little guidance, can easily choose to convert.
This is also the case. The fact that players can influence so many believers in a short period of time is proof.
The population of Segos City is still not small, with a full 200,000.
If players can convert all these residents into believers, then Eve’s power of faith will undoubtedly reach a higher level.
It is possible to rely on believers to locate the lost kingdom of the previous world tree.
Of course, although Segas City has great potential, players have not put all their treasures here.
In fact, as time goes by, more and more priest players begin to leave Segas City and go to various villages and towns in the Orros demiplane, as well as other towns to preach faith.
There is a reason for this.
Segas City has a large population and great potential.
However, as the priest tasks are continuously completed, players find that the efficiency of preaching is getting slower and slower.
The time that the goddess of life appeared in the Orros demiplane is still too short.
Perhaps some residents can quickly accept the new faith, but for a considerable number of people, it still requires a subtle adaptation process.
However, players are often impetuous.
They pursue high efficiency and naturally hope that this adaptation process will be as short as possible.
In addition, the emergence of a large number of player preaching groups, competition is also a factor.
Everyone is crowded in Segas City, and in a sense, they have an impact on each other.
Therefore, when they found that other villages and cities outside Segas City that have not been preached were easier to preach, they naturally shifted their targets.
However, this choice of players has brought another benefit.
That is, the name of the goddess of life soon spread in the Orros demiplane and blossomed everywhere.
Eve also took this opportunity to issue unique priest tasks to the priest players, asking players to build life temples in various villages and cities in the Orros demiplane…
Caesar took such a task.
That day, after watching the mission of the Heart of Nature with Yuexia Jasmine, he realized how to become a qualified priest.
However, unlike Demacia and others, Caesar prefers the “process” of completing tasks rather than “completing tasks”.
Although he has been in contact with “Elf Kingdom” for less than half a year, he has already fallen deeply in love with this magical world and the local customs and customs here.
In his eyes, this is no longer a simple game, but a colorful world with a grand background; and the NPCs here are no longer simple NPCs, they are more like one after another vivid characters he met on his journey…
He likes to substitute himself into the game, and play this game and travel as a part of the world.
Therefore, in his opinion, the profession of priest should be quite sacred.
Even if we put aside the teachings of the goddess, saving the dying and the wounded, and guiding people to be good, is a very noble job.
In addition, he has a little bit of emotional cleanliness, so… although Caesar was amazed at the efficient team missionary work of Demacia and others, he was not used to their attitude of using any means to achieve their goals.
At least… he couldn’t deceive NPCs in order to preach faith.
Of course, this may be harsh, but the strategy of Demacia and others obviously refers to some indescribable experiences on the blue planet, and Caesar himself is actually quite resistant to those things because of his personal experience.
In his opinion, he would rather be alone and use his sincerity to influence the residents here.
It may sound ridiculous, but Caesar really thinks so.
And the actions of Demacia and others also gave him inspiration.
That is to save the dying and the wounded.
Caesar is a druid who prefers healing, and he has already exchanged a lot of healing-related magic.
Therefore, after being inspired, he started with treatment, helping those residents in need for free, and in the process, he used the “Holy Book of Life” to spread the faith of the goddess.
And it turned out that his choice was also good.
Although his efficiency was not as high as that of the team, he actually succeeded in influencing several mixed-race residents in this way and became trainee priests.
Not only that, one of them even became a devout believer and chose to follow him.
And this also made Caesar have a guess:
“If you treat them sincerely, will it be easier to get into the hearts of NPCs and make their faith more firm?”
With this idea in mind, he took on a new priest-exclusive task and planned to go to a village to build a temple and continue to preach faith.
Of course, this time he was not alone.
There were several more residents who were influenced by him around him, in addition to Yuexia Moli, a weapon warrior player who had been promoted to silver.
“Caesar, I have given up being a part-time priest, why are you still calling me?”
Looking at Caesar wearing a druid robe and holding the “Holy Book of Life” published by Amway Chamber of Commerce, Yuexia Moli asked curiously.
After hearing his words, Caesar smiled slightly:
“I know, but… Jasmine, you haven’t communicated with NPCs much, I want to take this opportunity to let you see a different world.”
“You are becoming more and more superstitious.”
The girl glanced at Caesar and muttered.
Of course, she did not refuse.
The destination of the group was a small town called “Flower Town”, named after the production of flowers.
The town is not large, with a population of less than 5,000, and the buildings are like most buildings in the Oros demiplane, with traces of elf style.
The arrival of Caesar and others was warmly welcomed by the residents of the town.
After all, the elves are known as the gods in this demiplane, and their status is transcendent. Although this town has not built a temple, the name of the goddess of life has long been spread.
Even the devout local believer who followed Caesar came from Flower Town.
The other party met Caesar just to go to Segos City to inquire about the news of the Church of Life and seek some help, and was influenced to become a devout believer.
And this time, the reason why Caesar chose this town was precisely because of his request——
“Hunting the giant beasts that harass the town? If you can help the town solve the problem of the giant beasts, the town will fully support the construction of the temple?”
After listening to the townspeople’s demands, Yuexia Jasmine raised her eyebrows slightly.
“Yes, you know why I called you here? You are the best at hunting monsters.”
Caesar smiled.
Yuexia Jasmine did not comment, and even seemed eager to try.
She had just exchanged for a purple epic longsword of the lower silver level, and had not tried it yet.
However, the mayor who received the few people was a little hesitant:
“My Lord of the God Clan, no… My Lord of the Elf Clan, the giant beast is said to have the strength of the peak of the third level, extremely terrifying, and extremely fast. If it is just Lord Yuexia Jasmine alone…”
“Third level? Converted to the level of the main plane, it is just the upper level of black iron.”
Yuexia Jasmine shook her head.
Caesar also smiled:
“Don’t worry, Mr. Mayor, she can handle it.”
So, under the townspeople’s expectant or anxious eyes, the two settled down in the town.
Yuexia Jasmine used her experience in hunting in the wild to set traps around the town with the townspeople to prevent the target from escaping, while Caesar used healing magic and the divine arts he had just learned to treat the residents in the town.
They didn’t wait long, and the beast attacked that night.
It was a Swift Shadow Wolf with the strength reaching the peak of the upper black iron level. It was nearly five meters tall and extremely cunning and ferocious.
Such strength was quite terrifying for the local residents whose average combat power was not even at the lower black iron level.
However, its good days were over.
After the Swift Shadow Wolf entered the town, Yuexia Jasmine attacked without hesitation.
In an instant, the sword light flashed.
Silver strength is far from comparable to black iron.
And Yuexia Jasmine herself also has extraordinary combat experience.
As expected, the extremely fast beast didn’t even last three moves under her hands, and was killed by her sword.
With a wail, the beast slowly fell to the ground.
However, its body did not turn into ashes.
This was because Yuexia Jasmine was attracted by its hair and deliberately turned off the experience points.
“So… the surprise you gave me is this wolf? Its hair is really good. You can ask the dark dwarves to help make a robe, and then you can get one.”
Yuexia Jasmine said while wiping the sword.
However, Caesar shook his head:
“Not so, you will know tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?”
Yuexia Jasmine tilted her head.
One night passed quickly.
The next day, when the residents of the town saw the dead giant wolf, they were instantly boiling.
The whole village was decorated with lights and colors as if it were a festival.
“Hahaha, this giant beast is finally dead!”
“Great, now we don’t have to worry about anyone being attacked anymore.”
“Thank you, Lord of the Gods!”
The townspeople were very excited.
As the biggest contributor, Yuexia Moli received even more enthusiastic thanks from the residents.
She was almost surrounded inside and outside, and everyone was thanking her.
Some presented various local specialties to express their gratitude, and some invited Yuexia Moli to their homes.
All the townspeople were extremely enthusiastic and regarded her as a benefactor.
The gratitude from the heart, the unreserved sincerity and enthusiasm made Yuexia Moli a little overwhelmed.
She was a competitive player, and she never cared about NPCs.
This was the first time that she was thanked by NPCs like this.
For a whole day, she was entertaining the endless stream of townspeople who came to express their gratitude, and the thank-you gifts sent by the townspeople in the small town hotel where she and Caesar lived were almost piled up into a small mountain.
It was not until late at night when the celebration party specially held for Yuexia Jasmine ended that the girl finally got relief…
She lay on the bed like a tired dog, and finally had time to catch her breath:
“I’m so tired… These people are too enthusiastic, right? So I don’t like dealing with NPCs at all!”
However, after hearing her words, Caesar smiled slightly:
“Really? I see you seem to enjoy it, and the corners of your mouth can’t help but rise.”
After hearing Caesar’s words, Yuexia Jasmine was slightly startled.
“If you don’t believe me, look.”
Caesar picked up a mirror and pointed it at Yuexia Jasmine.
The girl also looked at herself in the mirror.
Her expression was tired. After all, she was a social phobia. She was surrounded by residents for a whole day and was almost exhausted.
However, the corners of her mouth were raised, and even the corners of her eyes were relaxed a little, obviously in a good mood.
And her appearance made Yuexia Jasmine slightly stunned.
Then, she heard Caesar’s words again:
“Jasmine, I think that you don’t like dealing with NPCs because you are influenced by the games you played in the past. Elfland is different from other games. If you understand it in depth, you will find that the NPC system here is very attractive.”
“Here, NPCs are no longer just NPCs. We can really become friends with NPCs.”
Become friends…
Yuexia Jasmine fell silent.
She turned her head and looked at the piles of gifts, feeling a little complicated.
She likes competition and she hates plots.
However, is it really like this?
The plot of Oros also touched her.
Although she was complaining about the communication with the residents today, her expression betrayed her heart.
If there is anything to say, it can only be said that she has never really considered getting to know the plot and NPCs of Elfland in depth.
She is a little socially anxious, and the environment of Elfland always makes her put herself into reality, and she subconsciously refuses to communicate.
However, today’s mission has subtly changed her mind…
“Maybe.”
After a moment of silence, Yuexia Jasmine sighed.
After that, she began to pack up and prepare to go to bed.
“Are you going to bed so soon?”
Caesar was slightly stunned.
“I’m tired. Go to bed early so that we can build the temple together tomorrow.”
Yuexia Jasmine replied.
After that, she closed the door.
Caesar was stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The fun of “Elf Kingdom” has never been limited to competition.
Interaction with NPCs and participation in the plot are the important reasons why many players are addicted to this game.
He sincerely hopes that Yuexia Jasmine can enjoy this fun.
…
Caesar and Yuexia Jasmine’s mission is just an episode and a microcosm.
As more and more players go deeper into the demiplane, life temples appear in various villages, towns and cities.
With the church of the Creator God in front, it is very convenient to build a life temple.
In many cases, it is only necessary to repair the original building, and then move in local residents who have accepted Eve’s faith to serve as trainee priests, or directly let interested priest players serve as priests.
In fact, this is Eve’s formal establishment of a complete faith network in the Oros demiplane.
Once the church is used to connect the entire demiplane, Eve can truly incorporate these three million people into her management system.
After that, whether it is deepening missionary work or strengthening plane management, it will be easier.
And the church system of the entire demiplane will gradually grow into an iron plate…
The players are working hard.
The number of new believers is also increasing rapidly.
Not only that, in Eve’s observation, there is a faint trend of snowballing.
However, although there are more and more believers, there is another problem that must be considered.
That is, although the players can guide many residents of the Orros demiplane to convert, they are not true priests of life after all. Many people actually only use the “Book of Life” to look up information at the last minute.
They know the teachings of the Church of Life at most.
In this case, it is not easy to convert new believers from shallow believers to devout believers.
This is also the case.
Obviously, the number of new believers has increased by more than 10,000 in a dozen days, but there are only 400 devout believers.
If Eve wants to rely on the power of believers to sense the location of the former kingdom of God, at least half of them must be devout believers.
However, Eve is not without a solution to this matter.
The activities of the players are very helpful for preaching.
However, the core of the church is the true God after all, and in order to have more believers, the true God must be powerful enough.
And Eve has one last trump card that she has prepared long ago and has not used.
That is blood purification.
“The proportion of devout believers is still too small. It’s time to issue an oracle to select suitable believers in the demiplane and allow them to purify their blood to become half-elves and elves.”
“This way, not only can the believers’ faith be inspired, but also the quality of my believers can be improved.”
Eve said to herself.
Purifying blood can be used as a means of motivation.
In order to gain the recognition of the true god, awaken a stronger bloodline, and have a longer lifespan, believers will naturally continue to work hard to make themselves more devout…
This is an open conspiracy.
Or an open conspiracy that kills two birds with one stone.
