Game of the World Tree

Li Mu's expression was odd as he read the system message that flashed before his eyes and saw the spot of the red-named player marked on the mini map in the system.

He sighed and said,

"You see… There is a punishment mechanism in this game. Why did you do it… You have worked hard to get to Low Iron, which cost you ten thousand experience points and two hundred contribution points…

Fried Tomatoes, "…"

"Besides, from the moment you tried to kill me, I took a chance to start video recording. You should understand the consequences if you continue, right?"

Li Mu pointed at the screen of his system and said slowly.

Fried Tomatoes, "…"

His face darkened.

Now, it really wasn't worth it.

Eve shook His head when He saw the awful expression on Fried Tomatoes' face from Li Mu's perspective.

Isn't it good to be an obedient little leek? Why take the shortcut…

Every chosen one cost Eve of His precious energy. Thus, Eve would not let them fight against each other at will!

However, as a goddess who loved truth, kindness and beauty, Eve wouldn't forget to give those kids who made mistakes a chance to change.

When Fried Tomatoes froze at the abrupt system message, a new box of options appeared before his eyes…

[Ding--]

[The great goddess is kind enough to forgive those sinners who repent. As you are a chosen one and your offence is minor, the goddess is willing to listen to your request:]

[Option A: The great, kind goddess is right. I will repent my sins. (You choose to lose 200 contribution points and return everything you have taken by force and your red-name state will be cancelled)]

[Option B: Although I adore the great goddess, I don't regret my choice! (You choose to lose 100 contribution points and you will remain in the red-name state)]

Fried Tomatoes, "…"

His face almost twitched.

What else could he choose?

Ultimately, all the players would go after the first option to avoid further damage…

Fried Tomatoes took a deep breath and gritted his teeth under Li Mu's surprised gaze.

"The great goddess is right. I will repent my sins."

[Ding--]

[The player Fried Tomatoes has chosen to repent. He lost 200 contribution points and his red-name state was cancelled]

Instantly, a message flashed in all the players' game system.

One more message appeared before Li Mu's eyes, which read, [You get the compensation of 100 contribution points from Fried Tomatoes]

Li Mu, "…"

Fried Tomatoes glanced at him furiously, snorted coldly, took the wooden knife and disappeared into the forest.

Seeing Fried Tomatoes giving up, Li Mu felt relief and began to heal himself with healing magic.

Eve, who watched everything behind the curtain, nodded with satisfaction and pondered.

"Although the problem is solved this time, suppressing the players is not a long-term solution. They will have internal conflicts sooner or later. Sometimes, they need to fight to solve the internal conflicts…"

"It seems that it's time to arrange a PK system."

PK, or comparing notes, learning from each other, was a pretty common mode in MMO-RPGs. A lot of players were very enthusiastic about it.

There were even many players who played online games merely for the sake of PK!

In other words, they just wanted to fight against other players!

These kinds of players were usually called PVP players.

Eve naturally thought about adding this function to the game system. After all, this function would not only make the players more passionate about the game, but also train them for combat.

His current idea was to provide the players with two PK modes.

One was to PK in real battles. That was to say, the players would fight against each other face-to-face with real knives and guns. In this mode, they could actually kill each other.

The players would need to spend their contribution points to use this mode. And when the players got to higher levels, they would need to spend increasingly more contribution points to use this mode.

After all, it would cost Eve energy to resurrect the players. As the players got to higher levels, they would do greater harm to the environment while fighting against each other.

If some players got to Legendary levels one day, two of them could even destroy a small part of the forest of elves in combat.

The other PK mode was virtual. Eve would create a scene in the space of His consciousness, draw the players' consciousness there, and let them do whatever they liked.

This mode wouldn't cost contribution points. The players would pray to Eve and Eve would answer. He only needed to create some scenes beforehand in this mode and set the corresponding program in the game system.

Thinking of this, Eve decided to formally launch the PK function for the players after this task.

With more divine force, He could afford to spend more.

At the end of the day, the players were His leeks and His bosses.

If Eve wanted them to work hard for Him, help Him recover and assist elves to restore their glory, He naturally should meet their needs of entertainment.

Eh, Eve thought that He was conscientious in designing the online game. The players didn't need to spend too much money or work too hard.

One of the best weapons like the Golden Legend only cost 64800 contribution points. Killing 1296 goblins would be enough to buy one.

…

Without any player stopping him, Li Mu, who had healed his injuries, went back to the teleportation circle smoothly.

He used [Natural Whisper] and soon found the oak guard sleeping nearby.

The players already knew that the NPCs also needed to sleep.

Moreover, according to Demacia, the NPCs also needed to clean themselves and eat like the players…

But when Li Mu asked him how did he know, he prevaricated.

Just several days before, Saint Alice seemed to be colder toward Demacia.

Ahem.

In this game, everything was realistic to the extreme.

Sometimes, Li Mu wondered whether this game was made by aliens.

Standing before the oak guard, Li Mu hesitated and decided to wake him up.

Li Mu really didn't want to hold the 26 pieces of hot potatoes any longer.

He poked Berserker's wooden beard and said carefully,

"Lord Berserker? Lord Berserker?"

The huge tree man turned around and continued sleeping.

Li Mu, "…"

"Lord Berserker!"

He yelled again.

The tree man opened his mouth and breathed out through it.

Li Mu, "…"

This guy slept so deeply…

He thought for a while, picked a twig with leaves and barbs, and poked the tree man's nose hard.

Feeling an itch on the nose, Berserker shook and sneezed hard.

After a daze, the oak guard awakened from his deep slumber. When he saw the smiling player clearly, he frowned.

"Chosen one, why did you disturb me?"

After these words, he glanced at Li Mu with surprise.

"Huh? You are actually at Low Iron?"

This group of chosen ones leveled up so quickly!

The oak guard found it incredible.

Li Mu smiled and said moderately,

"Thanks to the blessing of the goddess… I'm sorry to disturb you but I need your help to hand in these divine blood crystals."

Divine blood crystals?

Berserker cheered and stood up quickly.

It was the most important matter as it was related to Mother God's recovery!

In an instant, he no longer cared that Li Mu had disturbed him.

"How many?"

There was a trace of anticipation in Berserker's voice. He looked at Li Mu enthusiastically with shining eyes.

Li Mu opened his palm where 26 crystals laid quietly and glittered naturally.

"26 pieces altogether."

26 pieces!

Berserker widened his eyes and unconsciously took a cold breath, finding it incredible.

"Mother God on high! There are actually so many!"

After these words, he looked towards Li Mu with admiration and satisfaction.

"You all have done a good job!"

He took the divine blood crystals off Li Mu's hand carefully as if he was taking treasures of the world.

After passing the divine blood crystals to Berserker, Li Mu suddenly thought of something and said,

"Lord Berserker, in fact… I have another thing."

"Huh?"

Berserker glanced at him in doubt.

Li Mu curled his lips and said sincerely,

"It is that if there are no further accidents, we can exterminate all the goblins in Florence by tonight. Elves can finally regain the holy city of the past."

"You can exterminate all the goblins by tonight?!"

Berserker became more surprised.

He had been sleeping since dusk, so he naturally didn't know of the players' recent achievements.

Li Mu nodded. Remembering the NPCs' praying manners, he drew a tree symbol of the Mother of Nature on his chest, straightened his body, and said solemnly,

"We want to invite Lord Berserker and Saint Alice to participate in the ceremony of establishing a stable teleportation circle in Florence!"
