Game of the World Tree

Two days had already passed since the recovery of Florence.

After the players formally established the stable teleportation circle and finished the first main task, the following task of the story came.

That was to explore the holy city of the past and look for the heritage of the elf civilization.

This time however, some players didn't choose to accept the exploration task.

After getting to level 11, some combat-focused players chose to leave the safe zone for more blood-pumping adventures in a larger area.

That was to say, they wanted to level up by killing monsters.

The Kingdom of Elves was different from other games. The mechanism of combat in this "virtual reality game" provided great freedom. After getting familiar with the rules, the players soon fell in love with the combat in the game that was similar to that in reality.

Adventuring in such a game allowed them to experience what it was like being mercenaries and hunters in the real world.

Furthermore, after logging off from the game, many players who got used to fighting found that their reaction speed and reflex had improved tremendously.

There was even a rumor that someone used a skill from the game to defeat a criminal while he was being robbed.

This finding made the players even more passionate about battles.

Additionally, the large forest outside of the safe zone made it possible for the players.

Outside of the safe zone, numerous magic beasts existed in the forest of elves. The majority of the beasts were at Iron levels, which was suitable for the players to practice their skills.

Those Low Iron monsters were especially suitable.

Of course, there were powerful Silver creatures in the forest, but they generally existed in the northern part of the forest.

That was said that there were more powerful creatures at Golden and even Legendary levels further up in the north.

Sure enough, those Legend creatures were beyond the imagination of the current players.

The players obtained these pieces of information from Alice after adopting all kinds of methods they could think of to please her.

Alice even taught them how to distinguish the tracks of powerful wild beasts, how to avoid high level magic beasts, etc.

All of this was due to the improved relationship between Alice and the players.

After the players invited Alice to Florence, her relationship with most players improved except for Demacia.

This was especially true for those players who had recovered the holy city. Many of them had a friendly relationship with her.

In this situation, Alice was finally willing to go deep in conversation with the chosen ones.

Besides, Alice appreciated Cuckoo Bird's talent in magic circles, so she began to teach her now and then, which made a lot of players envious.

Cuckoo Bird became the first player to study under Alice. She became the first chosen one to learn magic circles.

Eh… At least the players thought so.

…

In the ruins of a tract of elf buildings in Florence.

Holding a flickering torch, Li Mu explored carefully in the dim light.

As a player who loved the stories, he declined other players' invitation to go adventure in the wilds but chose to do the task of the story instead.

After the previous task and sacrificing the goblins' scimitars, bows, arrows and sticks to the goddess, he had already accumulated enough contribution points and exchanged them for two new skills.

[The Elegance of a Cat] and [The Strength of an Ox].

The former improved agility and the latter improved strength.

As for equipment…

Alright, he had already done his best for the two skills. He couldn't ask for more.

He was not a rich man who never lacked money.

However, soon after the players finished their task, a new batch of weapons emerged in the exchange system.

The majority of these weapons were scimitars, bows, arrows and some good-looking magic staffs.

They were delicately crafted and cheap. They were only at a price of one to two thousand contribution points. All of them were Blue Rare equipment.

Although they couldn't strengthen the attributes as much as Purple Epic equipment, they were better than the goblins' weapons seized by Li Mu and the others.

Li Mu thought they were the equipment the official game company designed for the common people.

He planned to accumulate enough contribution points and exchange them for a magic staff.

Frankly speaking, there was a familiar subconscious feeling when he looked at this batch of equipment, but he could not tell where he had seen them before.

Perhaps he was wrong.

Li Mu shook his head and continued to explore the ruins.

There was a large tract of ruins in Florence far from the temple in the holy city. The whole ruins looked to be a splendid building made of huge stones in the past.

Li Mu was a feeling that only in this kind of large ruins was it possible to find the treasures of the elf civilization.

Unfortunately, he had already explored the ruins here for two hours but found nothing.

What was more annoying was that someone followed him and kept constantly talking…

"Brother Mu, why did you choose to explore the ruins? We have been wandering here for two hours. There is nothing here."

Demacia chewed the end of a straw in his mouth, followed Li Mu and murmured.

"I've heard that Box Meal and the others have killed a level 13 rock boar. They are really close to level 12. Ah, Brother Mu, why don't we organize field sports?"

Demacia complained as he watched Li Mu's back.

As a ridiculous tank warrior, he felt uncomfortable that he had forgone combat for a few days.

He hadn't experienced cutting with the Epic scimitar he exchanged yet. For the sake of the scimitar, he temporarily gave up on learning new skills.

On hearing Demacia's constant complaints, Li Mu frowned and said,

"Don't worry. We won't be late even if we go to the wilds after finishing the task of the story."

"But we have explored the ruins for two days and discovered nothing… Ah, according to the story, it has been 1000 years since the city turned into ruins. Even if there are treasures here, they should have been destroyed by the goblins,"

Demacia said while shaking his head.

Li Mu thought about it and explained,

"A task is in the story for a purpose. The harder it is to find, the more precious the rewards will be…"

Frankly, after wandering for two days, he was not confident when he said this.

Sometimes, Li Mu also complained that it was perverse of the game designer who designed Florence.

The large area of ruins turned out to be actual ruins. Except for the goblins' domestic garbage, there was nothing in them

"Ah, I've heard that Fried Tomatoes has set up a labor union specially aiming at field strategies. He looked so proud. Boo…"

Demacia pouted.

"Brother Mu, did he really want to rob you of the divine blood crystals? I remember that when the system warned him, it specially said he was attacking you…"

He asked curiously.

Li Mu paused for a moment and said,

"You ought to make better of your time to look around than to ramble on endlessly."

He did not deny it, which for Demacia was as good as a yes.

"Hey, I know that he is a bad guy."

Demacia sneered.

"Ha ha, after rivalry starts between the unions in the future, I will teach Fried Tomatoes a lesson!"

After finishing the first subsidiary task, the players started setting up unions.

An organization like a union could help the players unite. Furthermore, it could train the players to cooperate in parties. Additionally, it could give impetus to competition between the players, making the game more interesting.

In order to increase the task efficiency of the players, Eve did not ignore this function.

In fact, even if Eve did not set up unions, the players would form their own small groups, as humans loved uniting by nature.

But it was better for Eve to take the initiative in creating players' unions so that He could make use of them.

At present, there was only the public chat channel and the function of sharing mini maps in the union.

In the future, Eve planned to train the players' combat skills and their ability to cooperate.

Eve's ultimate purpose was to turn the players into a well-trained army using the unions!

It cost ten thousand contribution points to set up a union.

This was a large sum. But if the players contributed together, they wouldn't have to spend much individually.

The players in the pre-OBT cooperated, contributed together, and finally formed three unions.
