Game of the World Tree - Chapter 631
631. Chapter 628 Youth during Class (5000 words)
“Ding-dong-dong, ding-dong-dong–“
The melodious bell for the end of class rang slowly, and the sleepy classroom became somewhat lively.
“That’s all for today. Students, remember to do the homework after class. After class, go out for a walk and get some fresh air. Then wash your face to wake up.”
The bald middle-aged teacher pushed his black-framed glasses and glanced at the listless students in the audience.
He could understand these children who were fighting with their eyelids.
It was the first class in the afternoon…
There was no lunch break in autumn and winter, so it was normal for students to feel sleepy.
Not to mention that they were in a high school with huge pressure.
Of course, today was much better than usual. In the past, at least more than half of the students would “fish” during class. Although they were still groggy today, at least not many fell asleep.
Perhaps it was because it was the end of the month and it was Friday, which happened to be the two-day break of the month.
The middle-aged teacher did not stay in the classroom any longer. He put down the infrared electronic pen in his hand, then picked up his lesson plan, picked up the old-fashioned glass thermos cup that he had used for seven or eight years, and left the classroom.
The classroom door opened, and a gust of cold wind poured into the room, like a sobering agent.
“A-choo!”
The boy sitting by the door sneezed subconsciously, and then took a piece of paper from his deskmate’s desk. His movements were extremely skillful, just like an old man who had been selling pancakes at the market for decades.
He blew his nose with a wheezing sound, which earned him a look of disdain from his deskmate:
“Bring it yourself next time!”
“I understand, I understand, I’ll bring it next week, definitely.”
He smiled apologetically. It was
a daily conversation that couldn’t be more ordinary.
The precious break time was up.
Some students who finally couldn’t hold back their excitement lay directly on the table and took the opportunity to take a nap. Some students who had been holding back for half of the class rushed out of the classroom and their backs could not be seen at a glance…
However, more students gathered in twos and threes and started an ordinary yet somewhat strange break “party”.
It was normal because it was common for boys and girls to chat in groups during breaks.
It was strange because after the first class in the afternoon, especially in autumn and winter, it shouldn’t be so active.
Especially after the heating was turned on, it made people lazy. Logically, even after class on Friday at the end of the month, a lot of people should fall asleep…
But today, it was very different.
“Are you connected to the Internet? Are you connected to the Internet?”
“Wait a minute… The speed is a bit slow. My phone is my dad’s leftover, and the signal is not very good.”
“Hurry up! There are two people waiting behind! How about refreshing? You can turn on the flight mode and then turn it back to try.”
“Don’t worry… Wait, I’m working on it… Okay, I’m in, I’m in! Wait, I’ll go first, let me register an official website account first…”
“Hurry up! Hurry up!”
“Fuck! It’s only been a short time, and the number of registrations has exceeded 10 million?”
“What game do you think this is? This is “Elf Kingdom”!”
Similar conversations can be heard in various places in the classroom.
There was a tall and thin boy who was playing with his mobile phone, looking around the classroom again and again, with a leisurely look.
The boy was not handsome, but he was fair and clean.
It is said that the school uniform in China is a device for identifying appearance. Although the boy’s appearance is average, he is a clothes rack, giving people a sunny and cool feeling.
However, the two-dimensional style book covers and the cute pencil cases on the table seemed a bit subtle.
He stretched his body from time to time, shook his head from time to time, and couldn’t help humming a strange tune, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Looking at the excited and expectant expressions of his classmates, he couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth wildly.
The slightly raised chin was a little proud.
In addition to the eyes that glanced around from time to time, and the shining eyes, it seemed to say-“Someone come to me soon, someone come to me soon”…
Until, a white and tender small hand slapped him heavily on the shoulder:
“Xu Ge! Lend me your mobile phone!”
“Ouch!”
The boy couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
He turned his head helplessly, rubbing his shoulders while looking at a pretty little face that came up to him, and said depressedly:
“Miss Zhao Linqian, can you be gentler next time?”
It was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, not tall and quite small.
Her facial features were not delicate, but she gave people a sense of vitality and intimacy of a girl next door. She was the type that was very attractive, and with a simple bob haircut, she looked even more lively and cute.
She just laughed:
“Ahahaha, I’ve been taking pictures since I was a child, I’m used to it, I’m used to it… Ahem, okay, okay, I’ll be gentler next time, Brother Xu~ Give me my phone!”
Hearing the second half of the coquettish voice, Xu Ge got goose bumps.
At this time, the girl also saw his phone on the table, and her eyes lit up.
She put one hand on the boy’s shoulder, leaned out quickly, and then skillfully handed the phone over:
“Haha, get it!”
Xu Ge: …
Feeling the warmth on his shoulder and smelling the unique fragrance of the girl, the boy felt a little hot on his cheeks.
Especially the softness that he touched inadvertently, made him realize that the guy he had played with since childhood was no longer the same.
“You should be careful, you are so careless all day long, be careful not to find a boyfriend in the future.”
Xu Ge complained.
The girl habitually entered the password of her mobile phone and said without turning her head:
“Then I’ll just find you to make do with it. Anyway, no one cares about you, a dead otaku who looks sunny on the surface but is actually stuffy, except me.”
Xu Ge: …
Can we not do this?
He glanced at the girl’s actions, then widened his eyes:
“Oh my god, when did you know my password?”
The girl continued to answer without turning her head:
“You are such a lazy guy who uses the same password for all your games, why do you need me to guess?”
Xu Ge: …
It’s time to consider changing your password. You can’t keep using your birthday…
Watching the girl log in to the official website of Elf Kingdom and fill in the information to register an account attentively, he asked curiously:
“Miss Zhao, I remember that you swore to never touch this game in anger because your relatives and friends who played “Xia Ke” were seduced by “Elf Kingdom”. Why are you so tempted today?”
The girl’s shoulders paused slightly, and her fingers sliding the screen paused.
She laughed dryly twice:
“Because the nature of human beings is to be tempted.”
Then, she continued to register an account.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Linqian finally told the truth under Xu Ge’s strange gaze:
“I went to an exhibition a while ago. I originally wanted to buy the albums of the wives of “Xia Ke”, but I saw an elf COS group at the exhibition and was amazed. Then when I asked for a photo, I found out that they were players of “Elf Kingdom”. “
“I wanted to leave, but by chance I watched a game movie they shot in “Elf Kingdom”, and then I got addicted to it…”
“You don’t know if you don’t understand it. This game is really addictive… It’s so tempting! Just watching the video makes people itchy.”
Xu Ge: …
and you said I was a stay-at-home, didn’t you go to the exhibition too? !
But soon, the boy reacted:
“Wait… You went to the exhibition without asking me!”
Zhao Linqian glanced at him:
“Are you sure you want to go with me?”
Hearing the girl’s question, Xu Ge suddenly remembered the girl’s hobby, and then quickly cupped his hands:
“I understand, goodbye.”
He is a stay-at-home, but not a fu.
But then, as if he remembered something, Xu Ge’s heart moved:
“Wait a little longer…”
“What’s the matter? I’m still registering!”
Zhao Linqian pouted.
She swiped the tablet phone, and her big black and white eyes suddenly widened:
Oh my God… Almost 15 million, are these people crazy? Register at this time? ! “
“After all, the announcement was released half a month in advance, and the registration time is only today, and the number selection will be updated tomorrow.”
Xu Ge shook his head.
However, he stopped interrupting the girl’s spell.
Three minutes later…
The satisfied girl returned the phone and stretched happily:
“Done, I’ll give you the phone!”
After that, she clapped her hands again, her eyes shining, and said:
“By the way, the new desktop background is good, send me a copy of the original picture later! “
Xu Ge subconsciously looked at his phone’s desktop…
It was an original painting of “Elf Kingdom”.
In the picture, there was a beautiful elf girl.
She had silver hair and purple eyes, and a stunning appearance. She wore a crown, held a scepter, and wore a noble and gorgeous dress. She was fighting a hideous and terrifying demon…
The perfect lighting and shadow effects make her look holy and noble, forming a strong contrast with the dark and bloodthirsty demons below. Her calm expression, slightly raised chin, and deep eyes like the starry sky make her look more majestic and mysterious.
Beautiful, cool, and gorgeous.
This picture gives people such a feeling.
As for the identity of the girl in the picture, although Xu Ge has never really played “Elf Kingdom”, he knows it well.
No, or rather, anyone who knows “Elf Kingdom”, even many people who don’t know “Elf Kingdom”, know her.
Maybe you can’t call out her name, but you must have seen her pictures, her emoticons, and even her… cough, book in many places on the Internet.
She is the leader of the camp in “Elf Kingdom”, the incarnation of the world tree, the goddess of life, the mother of nature, and the master of the elves-Eve Yuktrasil.
At the same time, she is also the most popular NPC among players and the most popular existence in the entire game, even in some pink apps.
This picture was said to be taken by players during the game’s battlefield mission some time ago. It has
perfect angles and special effects. It is the mobile wallpaper that Xu Ge carefully selected.
“It seems that you like the goddess very much.”
Xu Ge raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Zhao Linqian nodded heavily:
“Blow it up! I saw the goddess’ COS at the exhibition. She was so beautiful, stunning! But… after I watched the game video, I suddenly found that the COSER didn’t COS even one percent of the goddess’ charm.”
“Yes, yes! The goddess is super beautiful, and she also has her own special effects. I don’t think anyone can COS the goddess’ taste, even half of it is difficult. I have searched many COS photos of the goddess, and none of them satisfied me. Although many COS are actually very beautiful, they are still too different…”
Xu Ge nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Zhao Linqian’s words.
Then, he stretched out his hand and made an “OK” gesture, and then said:
“The picture is no problem. I will send you the original picture later. I will also send you my latest collection, which are all good pictures of “Elf Kingdom”, including those big scenes from the Harvest Festival some time ago!”
“You are a good friend. I will buy you a cup of milk tea after school!”
The girl smiled and patted Xu Ge on the back with satisfaction.
“I want a large cup, and it must be the latest and most expensive.”
Xu Ge’s expression became serious and he said seriously.
“I don’t have money. I only have a small cup of original flavor. If you like it, drink it. If you don’t want to drink it, you can get up .”
Miss Zhao glared at him.
“Okay, then a small cup.”
Someone admitted defeat.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Linqian asked again:
“By the way, what did you want to say just now?”
Xu Ge was stunned and frowned slightly.
He was interrupted just now, and he really couldn’t remember what he wanted to say for a while.
However, after a brief recollection, the boy’s eyes lit up:
“Oh, that’s right, I want to ask, you said you watched the game movie of “Elf Kingdom” at the exhibition?”
“Yeah, what’s the matter?”
“Is it called “Elf Adventure”? The authors are Black Cat and Bilodis?”
“Yes.”
“Haha! I knew it! I’ve wanted to recommend it to you for a long time! Isn’t the plot so great!”
“Yes! Embarking on an adventure in a different world as a time traveler, combined with the background of “Elf Kingdom”, it’s simply amazing! Really… I didn’t know until the end that this was actually filmed in the game! At first I thought it was a movie that I didn’t know about! And the plot is so great! Very touching! After I watched it, I realized that the NPCs in “Elf Kingdom” are so smart and cute!”
“Really! Right! Do you know? The original work is Black Cat Sensei! Of course the plot is great!”
“Black Cat Sensei? Is he the Black Cat Sensei I understand?”
“Yes!”
“Oh my god, why don’t you draw comics well, why play games and make movies?!”
“He’s addicted to “Elf Kingdom”, so he has been delaying the updates more and more recently…”
“Hahahaha…”
Having found a common topic, the two began to chat excitedly.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Linqian suddenly had an idea and turned to look at Xu Ge with an inquiring expression, which made the other party a little uneasy.
“What’s wrong?”
he asked puzzledly.
“That’s not right. You like “Elf Kingdom” so much, why haven’t I seen you sign up?”
The girl touched her chin and said with raised eyebrows.
Hearing the other party mention this topic, a certain boy was obviously in a good mood.
He leaned forward slightly and said with a playful smile:
“You know again? Maybe I secretly registered during class.”
“Nonsense, registration officially opens at 2 o’clock, I was sitting behind you, and you dozed off for the whole class.”
The girl pouted.
Xu Ge:…
So you have been staring at me since then? !
He looked at the girl speechlessly, then grinned:
“I won’t register.”
“Not register? Didn’t you keep yelling that you must get a spot? I resisted “Elf Kingdom” before, but a small part of it was due to your crazy promotion day and night…”
Zhao Linqian gave the boy a strange look.
Xu Ge: …
He cleared his throat, chuckled and said:
“No, I already got a spot.” As he
spoke, he picked up his phone, found a text message and showed it to the girl.
Zhao Linqian: …
Looking at the message in the text message congratulating the winner and getting a spot in the public beta, she pouted her nose into a piggy:
“You guy! When did you sneak out?!”
“Hehe, there was an event on the official forum some time ago. After I participated, I won a prize and got a spot. Come on, I hope to see you in the game tomorrow.”
Zhao Linqian: …
“That’s abominable! Your luck is too good, right?! What event?”
“I can’t quite remember the name, it seems to be a collection of opinions on the reform of the Church of Life in Elf Kingdom or something like that… You don’t know that the development of Elf Kingdom depends entirely on the players, and many things need to be thought out and formulated by the players themselves. However, this kind of reward is the first time.”
Xu Ge said with a smile.
After that, he reached out and patted the girl’s shoulder:
“Come on, there are nearly 180,000 places in total, I believe you can do it.”
Zhao Linqian:…
“Wait… Didn’t they say that 200,000 places were open?”
She widened her eyes, tilted her head, frowned slightly, and her eyes were full of confusion.
“It’s 200,000, but 20,000 of them can be purchased. The price of one place is equivalent to my pocket money for a year, but that’s it. They were all sold out within five minutes of the sale, and of the remaining 180,000, 500 were awarded to the winners of the forum activities, so… the actual number of places for the lottery is less than 180,000, rounded up to 180,000.”
Xu Ge explained carefully.
“Is that so?”
The girl frowned.
“Well, you didn’t say it earlier. If you had said earlier that you were interested in Elfland, I would have called you when I first participated in the event. I thought you were determined not to play Elfland…”
Xu Ge spread his hands, looking helpless.
After saying that, he looked at his phone again and exclaimed:
“Tsk… it’s almost 20 million.”
But his expression was a little bit bad.
Zhao Linqian: …
“Get lost…”
She kicked the other person.
Xu Ge, who had always been highly alert, dodged lightly and laughed.
After laughing, he straightened his face and comforted:
“But don’t worry, according to statistics, people who often play games and masters on the rankings of various games are more likely to get a place. You have won the top three in the season arena in “Xia Ke”, right? I think you can do it.”
Zhao Linqian: …
“Let it be…”
She sighed.
However, although she seemed listless, the girl’s eyes were shining and full of hope.
Until the last moment, everyone hopes that they will be the one who wins the bid.
This is youth.
_(:з」∠)_ I cleaned my house this morning, and it was already afternoon when I was done, so I wrote a little late. This is the first update, 5,000 words. There will be another update in the evening, so the limit for today should be 10,000 words.
