Game of the World Tree - Chapter 558

558. Chapter 556: Who said we would only play for half a day? !

The wedding ceremony, which was like a festival, gradually came to an end.

Cao Lingxuan and Mao Mo, who took the opportunity to eat and drink, also embarked on the game journey again.

The girl followed her cartoonist teacher, listening to someone’s laughter, and asked with a frown:

“So… Mr. Black Cat, you knew from the beginning that those without IDs were NPCs?”

“Hahaha, Xiao Cao, you don’t really think they are players who have hidden their IDs, do you?”

Cao Lingxuan:…

This guy is so smart, not to mention his expressions and actions, and there is no sense of disobedience when talking to you. He even knows about “players” and “reality”. Who would have thought that the other party is actually an NPC!

She complained in her heart.

But at the same time, she also had a very subtle sense of surprise and shock in her heart.

“Why didn’t you say it earlier? I really thought that the person talking to me was another player…”

The girl said with a little resentment.

“Haha, this is to see when you can find out! I saw you talking to Nightingale for so long, and I thought you had already noticed it.”

Mao Mo laughed.

Cao Lingxuan: …

She did feel a sense of disharmony.

But she immediately ruled out the correct answer.

“This game… is really full of surprises…”

She sighed.

“Isn’t it? The authentic NPC system is one of the three highlights of “Elf Kingdom”. This is unmatched by any other virtual game, and it is unique on the entire network.”

Mao Mo said.

“Three highlights? What about the other two?”

Cao Lingxuan asked curiously.

Mao Mo glanced at him and smiled:

“You have just experienced one. How did the food taste?”

Cao Lingxuan nodded heavily and gave a thumbs up:

“Great.”

Then, her eyes lit up and said:

“You mean food? Taste?”

After she finished speaking, she shook her head again:

“No… Not only taste, but also smell, touch, hearing, etc…. Or – five senses!”

“Yes, it’s the five senses! The perception system of “Elf Kingdom” is the most realistic among all virtual games. This is another cross-era highlight of this game.”

Mao Mo said.

Cao Lingxuan was thoughtful.

“Then…what about the third one?”

she asked again.

But this time, Mao Mo kept it a secret:

“The third one…Hey, Xiao Cao, you’ll know after you log off.”

Cao Lingxuan:…

After saying that, Mao Mo changed the subject:

“But if you ask me, the thing that surprised me the most was the NPCs here.”

“The biggest shock to me about this game is these NPCs!”

He said, while jumping onto a stone on the side of the road, pointing to the elves without IDs coming and going and said:

“Xiao Cao, look at these NPCs, no…or the residents of “Elf Kingdom”, um…this statement is more appropriate. If you communicate with them further, you will find that they are not just a role, a symbol, but also a walking story, and it is a story that is constantly changing and moving forward with the participation and promotion of the players.”

“Walking story?”

Cao Lingxuan was a little surprised.

“That’s right.”

Mao Mo nodded and said,

“If you talk to any of them, you can hear their own stories.”

After that, he pointed to a blacksmith shop in front where many players gathered, and said,

“See that blacksmith shop? The owner of that blacksmith shop is named Carlos Lieyan, an elf blacksmith. He once had a very talented child, but he died in battle while avoiding orc hunting more than four hundred years ago.”

“He was extremely sad after losing his child, until the players came and drove the orcs out of the Elf Forest and welcomed their tribe back, and he gradually came out of his grief.”

“He is already very old. After that, his biggest wish is to find a successor who can inherit the mantle of the elf blacksmith. Unfortunately… there are no young people among the elves who can inherit his skills.”

“Of course… now he has found one among the players.”

“Look, those players working in the blacksmith shop are all his new disciples. After some players chose to become his disciples, the old elf Carlos smiled more and more.”

After saying that, Mao Mo turned around and pointed to the temple on the other side.

Cao Lingxuan looked in the direction he pointed and saw a handsome male elf leading two excited elves into the temple.

Um… no, the two elves following behind seemed different from the others…

their ears seemed more like humans than elves.

“Those are half-elves. They came here from the Oros demiplane.”

“The Oros demiplane is a subsidiary plane of Segos. You can think of it as a map in the game, but this map is very big…”

“This map was once lost and in disaster. It was the players who found it and saved the world. These half-elves are NPCs whose blood was purified after the players preached their faith.”

“Did you see the leader? The name of that NPC is Taylor Yansha. He is the first half-elf in the demiplane to purify his blood into an elf. Now… he should be taking the two half-elves into the temple to help them completely transform their blood and become real elves.”

“Taylor Yansha used to be an adventurer. He knows a lot and likes to drink. If you make friends with him, you can hear him tell stories about his time as an adventurer after drinking.” “

Those stories… are definitely more exciting than the other. Through him, you can learn about the customs and habits of the Oros demiplane and the historical stories there. You will find that just a map in the game can give you a sense of magnificent epic…”

“By the way, do you remember the new plot in our previous comics?”

Mao Mo looked at Cao Lingxuan.

The girl raised her eyebrows and asked:

“Is it the plot twist where the protagonist’s former lover went astray because of him? It seems to have received good response from readers, but you seemed to be scolded a little when the character died…”

“Hahaha, being scolded means that my drawing was successful.”

Mao Mo laughed.

“The inspiration for that plot comes from the story of the Orros demiplane, and it is related to a half-elf named Orros.”

He said.

Hearing this, Cao Lingxuan couldn’t help asking:

“How come you are so familiar with this game? When did you know so much?”

“Haha, of course it’s through game videos!”

Mao Mo laughed.

Cao Lingxuan: …

Yes.

Black Cat Teacher has been addicted to game videos for the past six months!

How could I forget about this?

No wonder he felt so comfortable in the game after entering it…

Mao Mo continued to explain:

“Before I was not selected for the game test, I had to learn materials by watching videos. So over time, although I haven’t entered the game yet, I already know a lot of things.”

As he spoke, his expression was filled with emotion:

“‘Elf Kingdom’ is really a huge treasure.”

“Every NPC here is a story. Not only that… their stories are intertwined with each other, weaving into an extremely complete historical network, which will give people a real sense of heaviness and vicissitudes…”

“A player once did an experiment. He communicated with different NPCs, listened to their past, and then recorded their stories. Then he was surprised to find that the stories between different NPCs were actually related to each other…”

“For example, an NPC once experienced a war, and some other NPCs appeared in the story he told. If you go find these NPCs, you can also learn the details of the war from them, and from their personal perspective…”

“Haha, this technique is actually available in many RPG games, but the most shocking thing about “Elf Kingdom” is that the communication between NPCs is not just a war or a plot.”

“If you dig deeper, you will find that their lives are intertwined with each other. Different NPCs will appear in every detail. The stories behind them are not single. They themselves form a very exaggerated network of relationships.”

“Not to mention, if you start from any one of the elves in the Elf Forest and inquire about his relatives and friends through his interpersonal relationships, you will find that at most four or five times, you can find almost all the elf NPCs.”

“The sense of reality and heaviness brought by these layers of witnesses is absolutely not found in other games.”

Hearing this, Cao Lingxuan couldn’t help but said:

“It sounds like a real world.”

“It’s the real world.”

Mao Mo said.

“Create the most realistic and immersive epic fantasy in history! This… is the slogan of “Elf Kingdom”. They did it, and did it better than anyone imagined, no… or rather, beyond anyone’s imagination!”

“Not only that, NPCs are not static, or rather… their interaction with players is also very open.”

“You will find that NPCs have their own lives and emotions. Players can communicate with them freely and even become their friends…”

“At the same time, players’ actions are also affecting NPCs, affecting their beliefs, affecting their behaviors, affecting their choices, and thus affecting the direction of the entire story.”

“As the opening plot said, every player is a writer and witness of history.”

Mao Mo said with a slight sigh.

“Even… NPCs may fall in love with players?”

Cao Lingxuan asked curiously.

“Hmm? Are you talking about Nightingale?”

Mao Mo glanced at the girl.

He touched his chin and said:

“Speaking of which… Nightingale’s story is also a classic, with a sense of hero saving beauty, but it’s a bit melodramatic.”

Cao Lingxuan: …

“So… the material you mentioned is for the NPCs here?”

Looking at Mao Mo’s profile, she asked with a stir in her heart.

“BINGO! Correct!”

Mao Mo snapped his fingers.

As he spoke, his expression was a little complicated:

“To be honest, after getting to know the background story of the NPCs in “Elf Kingdom”, I felt deeply frustrated…”

“Hmm?”

The girl looked surprised.

Mao Mo sighed:

“Xiao Cao, you should know that what I am most proud of is the reality and rigor of the world view in my comics, including the reality and three-dimensionality of the characters in my stories…”

“I have always felt that only I can present an extremely real story to readers. No one can surpass me in shaping characters and deduce the rationality of the plot. But after I learned about “Elf Kingdom”, I found that I was too young…” “The

one who designed the world view of “Elf Kingdom”, the NPC of Elf Kingdom, and the background story of the characters in “Elf Kingdom” are the real masters!”

Cao Lingxuan:…

“Don’t be so discouraged. For a game of this scale, there must be more than one planner, and the planning time must be very long, but you are the only one.”

She comforted.

“No, no… Even so, it is very scary. That’s why… I want to enter the game to collect materials. I want to learn the storytelling skills of “Elf Kingdom” and want to understand this world.”

Mao Mo said.

“You will definitely succeed!”

Cao Lingxuan made a cheering gesture.

Mao Mo smiled:

“I think so too.”

Cao Lingxuan: …

“Okay, okay, now that I’ve said that, it’s time to get to work. Let me start collecting materials! Um… First, let’s start with the novice mission!”

Mao Mo clapped his hands and said.

He stretched his body and then ran towards the mission point.

Cao Lingxuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.

However, after running a few steps, she muttered in a strange way:

“Start with the novice mission? Isn’t this really an excuse to play games?”

Under the leadership of Mao Mo, Cao Lingxuan officially started her mission journey.

According to Black Cat Teacher, missions are the most reliable way for novices to advance in “Elf Kingdom”.

At the beginning, it is quite boring and you can only do some hard work, but when you are at a higher level, you can take on NPC missions, and that is also the goal of Black Cat Teacher.

However, although Black Cat Teacher said that the novice missions would be boring, the girl who never played games thought it was still quite interesting.

Picking berries in the forest, looking for magic materials…

In her opinion, the scenery of “Elf Kingdom” is so beautiful that the process of this mission is also a kind of sightseeing process.

The scenery is amazing.

The most wonderful thing is that when you enjoy the scenery, you only retain the relaxation and pleasure of the five senses, without fatigue and exhaustion.

This makes Cao Lingxuan more and more addicted.

In addition, it is also a wonderful experience to witness your experience points increase little by little and feel your body getting stronger little by little.

The pleasure of upgrading is great!

Of course, it is not without shortcomings.

That is, there seem to be too many players…

It’s okay in the forest.

When you receive the task… It’s simply a disaster.

But even so, Cao Lingxuan played with Black Cat Teacher until dark without knowing it.

And until the sunset and night fell, the girl suddenly realized that she had only planned to play for an hour or two, but she ended up playing for almost a day…

“Oh no! Manuscript!”

Cao Lingxuan slapped her thigh, and then quickly reminded a certain uncle who was still leisurely:

“Black Cat Teacher! We forgot to rush the manuscript! There is not enough time!”

After saying that, she was very regretful in her heart:

How could I… forget this thing while playing? !

Really, she had clearly set a timer reminder for the stealth cabin, but this damn machine didn’t even call her!

However, after hearing what the girl said, Mao Mo still looked leisurely:

“Don’t worry, we still have a lot of time. We will go back to the hotel in the town and work directly in the game.”

Cao Lingxuan: …

Where is the time!

The manuscript is about to be submitted!

And what the hell is working in the game? !

Oh… yes… It seems that you can open external software in “Elf Kingdom”.

But is the game environment suitable for work? !

And… Black Cat Teacher, don’t you really want to take this opportunity to play the game for a while? !

Cao Lingxuan had countless complaints in her heart.

Seeing her changing expression, Mao Mo smiled and said:

“Xiao Cao, don’t worry, you can quit the game and see, or… check the real time.”

Real time?

Cao Lingxuan frowned.

She opened her mouth, but in the end she subconsciously checked the real time as the other party said.

When she opened the external link and saw the time set in the stealth cabin, she immediately frowned:

“15 o’clock? Is the time machine broken?”

But Mao Mo just looked at her with a smile.

Cao Lingxuan: …

She felt…something seemed wrong.

After a second of silence, the girl immediately chose to log off, and when she climbed out of the stealth cabin, she was instantly stunned:

“Why is it still daytime?!”

“Of course it’s because the time inside and outside the game is different.”

On the other side, the vicissitudes of life of Black Cat teacher’s uncle sounded.

He also took off his helmet, sat up from the stealth cabin, and said with a smile:

“Xiao Cao, this game uses the technology of accelerated thinking. Our thinking in the game is four times that of reality, which means… the time flow rate in the game is equivalent to four times that of reality. So, although we feel that a day has passed in the game, it is only a few hours in reality.”

“Hey, in “Elf Kingdom”, our time is extended to four times, so if we create in the game, we don’t have to worry about not having enough time!”

“Haha, with this game, we don’t have to worry about being urged to submit manuscripts in the future.”

“Okay, okay, let’s get into the game quickly. Our bodies are still in the wild, don’t let anyone touch our equipment. Let’s play for half a day, and then start working!”

After that, Mao Mo quickly lay back down.

Cao Lingxuan:…

She looked at the other party speechlessly and shook her head.

However, she also chose to go online.

“Four times the speed…”

“If that’s the case, there’s still time, just… play for a while longer, and level up one more time!”

she said to herself.

…

Three days later in the Segs world…

In the hotel of Amway Business.

A man and a woman, two players, sat in the room, with dark circles under their eyes, staring blankly at the drawing software interface in their field of vision, their hands constantly gesturing in the air…

“There are only three hours left to submit the manuscript, Xiao Cao, please speed up the process.”

“I’m drawing, I’m drawing, I’m too busy! Who said I could only play for half a day?!”

It’s like playing games and reading novels for me_(:з」∠)_
