Game of the World Tree - Chapter 486

Chapter 484: Newbie’s Daily Life

Jiang Shang sent a friend request to an old friend and formed a team. Then he looked at the position of his teammates on the small map in the upper right corner of his vision and ran all the way…

There were a lot of people in the Chosen City, and they were constantly coming.

Among them, 99% were players, and most of them were new to the public beta.

Everyone was full of curiosity and excitement, studying the newbie guide in the game system while exploring the unknown new world.

After Jiang Shang finally squeezed into the crowd and found his old friend who was sitting there, poking the ground with a long knife and looking amazed, he couldn’t help but laugh and said,

“What are you in a daze about?”

Hearing Jiang Shang’s voice, Akai shook his head and sighed,

“I’m just sighing at the reality of this game. You’re right, there’s simply no comparison between “Xiu Xian Men” and “Elf Kingdom”! This game is too detailed. Look… a grain of sand, a handful of soil, they are so realistic, not to mention the five senses…”

“By the way, I just tasted the soil on the ground, and it feels exactly the same as the real soil, dry and astringent.”

Jiang Shang:…

He looked at his old friend in amazement and couldn’t help but complain:

“So you have eaten soil?”

“Well, I was just naughty when I was a kid… Actually, I just wanted to test how crazy the authenticity is. To be honest, if someone told me that I traveled through time now, I would believe it.”

Akai coughed twice and explained.

“Do you think, otherwise why would it be called a masterpiece across the ages!”

Jiang Shang smiled proudly, feeling very happy.

For every game lover, when the game they love is recognized by others, they will feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

This is not limited to games, and can even be extended to many things.

This time, Akai nodded rarely:

“It’s really amazing, it beats other games in seconds.”

“Yeah.”

Jiang Shang nodded continuously.

“And everyone is handsome and beautiful, not only pleasing to the eye, but also has a strong sense of substitution…”

Akai said again.

“Well…”

Jiang Shang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

“The only pity is that you can’t play a female character. It’s so real, it’s really a pity… I had a little expectation.”

Akai stretched out his hands and touched his flat chest, with a look of regret.

“…”

Jiang Shang twitched the corners of his mouth.

He looked at his friend with a serious face and sighed:

“Akai.”

“What?”

“You won’t be able to find a girlfriend like this.”

“It’s okay, I’ve done it before you anyway.”

Jiang Shang: …

The two of them complained about each other for a while, and Akai’s eyes paused on Jiang Shang’s rough robes.

He raised his eyebrows slightly:

“Mage? Are you going to choose a mage?”

“Oh, you plan to choose a druid. You don’t know that druids are the favorites in this game. In addition to their weak attacks, they can assist and fight, and they can get along well with NPCs. It’s easy to catch monsters, and it’s easy to switch to a priest. It’s simply invincible.”

Jiang Shang smiled.

He was originally a video cloud player of “Elf Kingdom”. After getting a place in the public beta, he crazily studied the strategy and naturally had a preliminary understanding of each profession.

Among them, the druid profession, which was mediocre before, but became more and more popular with the emergence of the magic pet system and the dragon companion, as well as the opening of the priest profession, naturally became his target.

“Hmm? Then am I at a loss for choosing the power system?”

Akai was stunned and said to himself.

“The power system is also okay. You never spend money when playing games. The equipment of the power system is the most affordable and suitable for you.”

Jiang Shang shook his head.

Akai likes fighting and PK. In terms of fighting alone, the power system is actually more powerful.

Maybe the elf mage after the job change is not bad. Some of them have learned rare skills such as bursting fire and the output is more explosive, but the output is one thing, and fighting is another.

As he said, Jiang Shang seemed to remember something and added:

“And if you are not satisfied, there is another opportunity to change jobs across fields after level 11.”

“That’s good.”

Akai breathed a sigh of relief.

The two chatted for a few words and soon began to explore the game.

“So… are we going to follow the novice guide next?”

Akai stood up, controlling the game interface while looking at the flashing novice help.

His sight wandered for a while, and finally stopped at the image of the novice guide elf of “Elf Kingdom”…

It was an elf girl wearing glasses and dressed as a teacher, with silver hair and purple eyes, a Q version of the goddess image.

Akai looked at it for a few times and couldn’t help complaining:

“I really read too many study materials. Now I tend to think wrongly when I look at this system guide elf…”

Jiang Shang:…

He took a look at the system elf and coughed dryly:

“Ahem… This is a Q version goddess. It is said that it was added to the novice system after the public beta. I think it’s very cute. By the way, it is said that after completing some hidden plots, you can also see the Q version of the goddess cheering.”

“It’s very cute, very suitable for an emoticon package, and also suitable for the head-changing method.”

Akai nodded.

Jiang Shang:…

“So… should we follow the novice guide? It says that we can accumulate experience by building the Chosen City and participating in various daily activities…”

Akai said while reading the novice guide.

After saying that, he looked around and couldn’t help but complain:

“Isn’t this city already well built? What else needs to be built?”

“Of course, it’s expanded.”

Jiang Shang explained:

“The Chosen City is the player’s main city in Elf Kingdom, and it is built entirely by the players themselves. We have so many newcomers coming in at once, and even if we want to settle them, we have to expand the main city. This is the most interesting part of Elf Kingdom, everything can be designed freely by players!”

“What a trouble.”

“It’s called freedom!”

After saying that, Jiang Shang said again:

“However, if you don’t like it, just don’t do it. Anyway, these things are almost all taken care of by the big guilds now, especially the ‘Moe Committee’, which ranks second in the number of guilds. It is said that 50% of the real estate in the Chosen City belongs to their guild.”

“Wait… the real estate belongs to the player’s guild?! Isn’t this the main city of the game?”

Akai was stunned.

“So, Elfland is different from other games. It’s almost all simulation here, with a high degree of freedom. Not to mention real estate, there are also players who run hotel chains and set up chambers of commerce… Do you see those shops on the street? They are all owned by old players.”

“Many old players have become ‘bourgeoisie’ in the game, and people like us are ‘poor proletarians’ who have just entered the game and need to work hard.”

Jiang Shang said while pointing to the street in the distance.

Akai: …

“Then… it’s too unfair to new players, right? Am I playing an RPG or a simulated city?”

“Pfft… If you really want to play Elfland as a business simulation, it’s not impossible. Besides, there is no such thing as an absolutely fair game?”

Jiang Shang shook his head.

After a pause, he added:

“Elf Kingdom doesn’t do a good enough job of balancing new and old players, but it doesn’t force krypton gold, and as long as you work hard and are patient, even latecomers can become stronger. To be honest, compared to many online games, it’s already very conscientious, okay?”

“Of course, you also need a certain amount of luck.”

After listening to his friend’s words, Akai nodded:

“I see, then let’s get started now, and quickly complete the tasks to level up.”

As he said, he began to check the task recommendations in the novice guide.

However, Jiang Shang interrupted him:

“In fact, compared to the novice guide, I personally suggest that we teleport directly to Florence to accept private tasks from the NPC. It is said that in the early stage, the NPC’s private tasks are more cost-effective, and there is a chance to increase favorability. Not to mention, there are too many people in the Chosen City now, and you must queue up to accept tasks.”

“Florence?”

Akai raised his eyebrows.

“It’s the main city of NPCs. There are a lot of elf NPCs living here. Many elves can give out quests. If you’re lucky, you might even be accepted as an apprentice by an elf.”

“I heard that there are lucky old players who have been accepted as apprentices by elf forgers. There are also magic pattern engravers and the like. Even if they are not accepted as apprentices by NPCs, it is said that there are lucky guys who have learned rare skills from elves.”

Jiang Shang said.

“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

The two of them discussed it and walked towards the teleportation array leading to Florence according to the small map.

Several elf main cities in the Elf Forest have no level limit.

Therefore, the two of them passed the teleportation array smoothly and came to Florence.

“Is this Florence?”

Looking at the prosperous scene that is no less prosperous than the Chosen City, Akai’s eyes flashed with surprise.

If the architectural style of the Chosen City is mostly from Blue Star, which makes it feel familiar, then the elven city of Florence, which is based on white boulders and is majestic and elegant against the backdrop of green trees and flowers, really gave Akai an unprecedented exotic experience.

Unlike the Chosen City, which is full of players, many of the residents here are NPCs.

They are active and busy in the city. Whenever they meet the eyes of the players, they will smile kindly and greet them slightly.

Seeing a female elf bowing slightly to him, Akai couldn’t help but say:

“They seem to be very respectful to us?”

“Of course, because the players are the Chosen Ones, they saved the elves and saved the existence of the Elf Forest.”

Jiang Shang said.

After saying that, he added:

“However, although the NPCs are very respectful to us, we cannot be presumptuous. In this game, it is very important to get along well with NPCs. “Elf Kingdom” has its own ecological environment, and the relationship between players and NPCs is one of them. Although we are newcomers, we should also maintain it well.”

After listening, Akai nodded in approval:

“I understand, I understand. In fact, many Japanese games I play pay great attention to the sense of immersion, and… I personally like to be involved in the game…”

Jiang Shang smiled:

“Well, then you will definitely enjoy this game very much! Let’s go, let’s go to the NPC to ask for tasks. Pay attention to the NPC’s template. Only white and blue ones can issue tasks. If you are lucky enough to run into a purple one, you must hug your thighs! But no matter which one it is, remember to have a good attitude, the success rate will be higher…”

After the two of them discussed it, they started to wander around in Florence together, asking the NPCs about private tasks…

Three hours later…

“Sorry, Lord Chosen One, I have used up my task quota today, and there is no way to send you tasks anymore.”

A female elf greeted the two of them slightly and said apologetically.

Jiang Shang and Akai looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly:

“Okay…”

“Excuse me…”

The female elf left quickly, and the two of them sat on the ground, looked at each other, and saw a trace of trance in each other’s eyes.

“Zi Ya, which one is it?”

“I can’t count, it seems to be almost 30?”

“But in three hours, we only completed one task, which was to help clean the toilet, and we leveled up by 1. Didn’t you say that it is fastest to get promoted by asking NPCs to take private tasks?”

“That’s what I thought! But who knew that there were so many public beta players coming for the NPC! And there are so many old players doing NPC tasks!”

“I think it’s better to do daily tasks in the Chosen City honestly…”

“Uh… Let’s try again. There is a forge shop in front. There is an elf forger there. It is said that if you have a good relationship with the NPC, he will accept apprentices! And the other party has a lot of tasks. Let’s go and try it!”

“Well… okay…”

The two stood up, patted the dirt on their buttocks, and walked towards the forge shop…

The forge was quite large, with many elves working busily inside. However, the two noticed that many people had green IDs on their heads…

They were all players.

Akai: …

Jiang Shang: …

“Ziya, I think you are one step slower again.”

Jiang Shang: …

“How can you know if you don’t try!”

Jiang Shang gritted his teeth, swept his eyes through the shop, and finally stopped at an old elf marked as a white NPC in the game system.

It was an old elf named Carlos Lieyan, holding a sledgehammer and hammering a long sword.

He took a deep breath, smiled and walked forward to greet.

But this time, the result was still disappointing.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Chosen One.”

Carlos shook his head apologetically:

“My apprentice quota for today has long been full, and the task quota has also been used up.”

“Uh… okay, then I’m sorry to bother you.”

Jiang Shang smiled reluctantly.

He stepped out of the forging shop and shook his head at Akai.

The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time…

“Ah… It’s so difficult.”

At this moment, a refreshing female voice suddenly came from behind them:

“This is what happens when new players are full. Whether it’s the Chosen City or here, it’s not easy to find a task.”

The two turned around curiously and saw a female player with blonde hair and blue eyes.

It was a druid player, wearing a gorgeous silver standard robe that was particularly domineering.

They subconsciously glanced at each other’s ID.

Meng Zhihan.

And it was a silver frame.

Silver…

Silver frame…

Holy crap!

Oh my god!

Silver boss!!

The two looked at each other, and saw a hint of surprise and envy in each other’s eyes.

“Awoo~!”

At this time, a coquettish moan sounded, and a cute brown-red monster with scales all over its body jumped out from the side and hugged the female player’s thigh.

The female player’s expression instantly eased.

While touching the scales on the other’s head, she took out a piece of shiny ore and put it into the other’s mouth:

“Katyusha, be good.”

“Holy crap! Dragon?”

Jiang Shang’s eyes widened.

This is no longer a boss…

This is a giant!

After feeding the young dragon, the female player named Meng Zhihan looked at the two again and smiled:

“Are you looking for a task?”

The two nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

A boss… may also become a thigh!

“I have one here, do you want to do it?”

Meng Zhihan smiled.

“Boss, do you have a mission? Can players also send missions to other players?”

Jiang Shang was slightly stunned.

“Of course players can’t.”

Meng Zhihan shook his head.

“However, for newcomers, the fastest way to advance is not to do missions, but to be led by old players to kill monsters.”

“If you can help me do something, I can take you with me. I’m already level 42. Even if I take you to kill a Black Iron-level monster, it will be enough for you two to jump directly to level 10.”

“How about it?”

After hearing each other’s words, Jiang Shang and Akai looked at each other and swallowed their saliva.

“Deal!”

…

A few hours later.

In the mine of Rivendell…

“So…”

Akai put down the pickaxe in his hand and wiped the sweat from his head:

“On my first day in the game, I didn’t do much else, but I was mining?”

“Hehe, don’t worry… Only those who endure hardships can become superior people! After we have mined enough ore that Boss Meng Zhihan needs, even if she takes us to fly in the wild once, we will take off!”

Jiang Shang said.

“I understand the reason… but I have a question. Doesn’t Meng Zhihan mine herself? She is a silver player, so her efficiency should be higher than ours, right?”

“Well, do you think it is more efficient for her to mine by herself, or for us new players to mine and then help me level up? At her level, I’m afraid she can kill the silver monsters with a lower level.”

“Hmm… what you said seems to make sense.”

Akai nodded.

“But what can mining do…”

He was a little curious again.

At this time, other veteran players who were mining around them smiled and said:

“You don’t know this.”

“Some time ago, a big guy developed a new weapon – the magic gun, which perfectly solved the problem that the steam gun could not consume experience!”

“The attack power of the magic gun is at least doubled that of the bow of the same level. Just watch, the archer profession is about to take off…”

“Magic gun? But isn’t the archer a strength type?”

Akai was a little confused.

“Well… that’s what I said, but elves are magical creatures, and archers also have magic, but they just go the power route.”

“Although they don’t have the bonus like spellcasters, archer players can also learn meditation and exercise their magic, but the efficiency is a bit low…”

“And it is said that after the silver job change, archers can also practice magic and martial arts, and that’s when the magic gun will shine…”

“By the way, not only archer players, even mage players and druid players can rely on magic guns for self-defense.”

The old player explained.

“So that’s how it is.”

Akai nodded.

“But what does this have to do with mining?”

he asked again.

The old player continued:

“Don’t worry… listen to me.”

“The magic ore here is one of the raw materials for producing magic guns…”

“Now there is a great demand for magic guns among archer players, and the dwarves can’t meet the supply of raw materials. In the end, the players need to find a way themselves.”

“The Meng Zhihan you are talking about is the only player disciple of the elf forger Carlos, and also the first forger among the players. She herself participated in the improvement of the magic gun, and she has a demand for these ores.” “

Unfortunately, there are too few coolies in the Elf Forest. Only salty fish life-oriented players like us will come to mine, but it is far from enough…”

“So, that’s why we came to you.”

After listening to the explanation of other players, the two nodded suddenly:

“I see…”

“No more words, let’s work.”

“Yeah.”

They wiped the sweat off their foreheads and continued to swing the pickaxes…

…

When night fell, the two finally returned to Florence from Rivendell through the teleportation array.

And they returned with a cart of ore.

“You actually dug so much! You’ve worked hard…”

Looking at the two newcomers with dusty faces, and noticing the full wheelbarrow, Meng Zhihan sighed.

After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment and said,

“How about this, I’ll treat you to a good meal tonight, don’t refuse.”

After hearing what the other party said, Jiang Shang and Akai also felt a little hungry.

They swallowed their saliva and nodded one after another.

Then, a flash of light appeared in Meng Zhihan’s hand, and all the ores disappeared.

Space items!

The eyes of the two brightened again, and they were full of envy.

It’s too big…

The gap is too big!

At this moment, they have never had such a strong desire to become a big player in “Elf Kingdom”!

Meng Zhihan’s treat was in the Chosen City.

She also came with her other good friend, a very beautiful priest girl player.

ID 苳苳.

She is also a big guy with a young dragon.

Facing two female players, especially big players among players, Jiang Shang and Akai were a little restrained.

But after getting familiar with them, they gradually let go.

Dinner was barbecue unique to the Forest of Elves, and it tasted great with the flower wine brewed by the elves.

The two newcomers to the public beta feasted with relish.

The four of them ate and chatted, and gradually became familiar with each other.

“So you are the boss of the Nature’s Heart Guild, which is the number one guild in Elf Kingdom!”

“I wonder when we can become silver players…”

The two were very envious and looking forward to it.

“There is a chance. Although the silver rank is not fully open, there are new vacancies every period of time. As long as you work hard, you will have a chance to get it.”

Meng Zhihan explained.

“Haha, when you reach level 11, welcome to join the Nature’s Heart Guild! Hehehe, I will protect you when the time comes. If you want to become a priest, just look for me, I guarantee it!”

Zhu Zhuo gnawed on the skewers with a greasy face and said with a smile.

Jiang Shang and Akai listened and expressed their gratitude.

After eating and drinking, and chatting, it was already late at night.

However, the Chosen City became more prosperous and lively.

The players who did tasks and dungeons during the day have returned, and this is the most active time in the Chosen City.

After saying goodbye to the two big players, Jiang Shang and Akai came to the street.

Looking at the shadowy city of the Chosen City under the lights, listening to the elegant elven tune in the background music, coupled with the faint laughter of the players, for a moment, the two of them were a little dazed.

“It’s great… Although I’m very tired, I feel very fulfilled.”

Jiang Shang sighed.

“And I got to know two big guys.”

Akai nodded.

“Let’s take a break. Our physical strength is almost gone. Tomorrow the big guys will take us to kill monsters.”

Jiang Shang yawned.

“Yeah.”

The two stretched and walked towards the legendary “morgue”, the safe offline point for new players…
