Game of the World Tree - Chapter 929

929. Chapter 923: Elf Kingdom: World Tree

Blue Star, San Francisco.

In a busy office, a man with a cigarette in his mouth looked at the time on his watch and threw the half-drunk coffee into the trash can.

He whistled, looked at his colleague who was still working next to him, and gently patted his shoulder:

“Hey, Tony, do you have any plans for this weekend? I recently bought a new fishing rod. Do you want to go to the lake together tomorrow to try it?”

Tony is a young man who looks to be in his thirties. He is tall and thin, with messy dark brown curly hair. The dark circles under his eyes from staying up late all year round and the high nose bridge inherited from his father make him look always melancholy.

Hearing his old friend’s words, he saved the unfinished work, gently closed the computer, and shook his head:

“No, Hand, I already have plans for this weekend.”

“Any plans? Is there any new virtual game released?”

Hand raised his eyebrows slightly, put the cigarette butt into the ashtray and took a sip, and asked curiously.

“Almost. Have you heard of Elfland?”

Tony asked with a little expectation.

“Elfland? Sounds familiar… Damn it, why do I feel familiar with this name that sounds like an antique from the old times? I must have drunk too much whiskey yesterday!”

Hand rubbed his temple and said.

“No, Hand, you should have heard of it. This is a virtual game that was very popular on YouTube last year.”

Tony continued.

“A very popular virtual game? Hiss… So, it seems that I do have some impression of it. Which company is it from? Um… I remember it seems to be from Europe?”

Hand asked casually while relighting a cigarette for himself.

“No, it’s China.”

Tony shook his head.

“China… China? Damn it, when has China ever had a virtual game that caught your eye?”

Hand’s eyes widened and the cigarette in his hand almost fell to the ground.

But soon, he suddenly realized and stood up from his seat:

“Oh, God, I remember! It’s the game video posted by those students studying in China on YouTube last year! It feels a bit like “Lord of the Rings”! “

“Yes, that’s it.”

Tony smiled.

“Huh? But… I remember that game seems to be only available in China, right?”

Hand frowned.

“That was in the past. The international server was opened as early as the beginning of the year, but the number of places has always been limited, and few people have the qualification.”

Tony explained.

Hand looked at his old friend in surprise and said:

“So, you have got the quota now?”

“Of course! This weekend I will start my adventure in the beautiful “Elf Kingdom”! You don’t know, I have been looking forward to this day for more than two years!”

Tony said with some pride.

“You guy, once there is a fun game, you will stay at home and don’t come out… I really don’t know how Jennifer can stand you.”

Hand shook his head and said.

However, after hearing his words, Tony’s expression darkened and he sighed slightly:

“Don’t mention her.”

“What’s wrong? Broken up again?”

Hand was stunned.

Tony shrugged his shoulders, which was considered as acquiescence.

Hand: …

“Damn it! Tony, you should play less games, if you still want to have a girlfriend…”

Hand blew a smoke ring and shook his head gently.

“How do you know it’s because of games?”

Tony looked very surprised.

However, he was greeted by only a roll of his eyes from his friend:

“Come on, Tony, of course it’s because your previous girlfriends broke up because of games!”

“No, Hand, you are prejudiced! To be honest, I just figured it out now, girlfriends are not as interesting as games? As long as there is “Elf Kingdom” to play, I am willing to have no girlfriend until I die!”

“You… you are hopeless.”

“No, you don’t understand, this is called fun, this is called life!”

The two chatted while packing up and leaving work.

“Not tomorrow, how about going to the bar tonight for a couple of drinks?”

Hand asked again.

“Sorry, Hand, I have to review the history of Elfland tonight. It is said that it is very important to understand the history of this game. I have to do some homework in advance.”

Tony shook his head.

“Okay… It seems that I can only ask you out next time. I hope you can come out of the game before the fishing is closed.”

Hand sighed and said.

“That depends on whether I have fun or not.”

Tony smiled.

“Shit!”

Hand cursed with a smile, and then got into his car.

“Let’s go, I wish you a happy weekend! Brother.”

He said to his friend.

“You too, brother.”

Tony waved his hand.

After saying goodbye, Hand started the engine and drove away.

After watching the other party leave, Tony also rode his motorcycle and sped away in another direction…

Unlike his old friend who lived in the suburbs, Tony’s rented apartment was not far from his unit.

In less than 40 minutes, he returned home and bought dinner on the way.

After skillfully taking out the unfinished milk from the refrigerator and finishing it with the packed sandwich in a few seconds, he couldn’t wait to get into the stealth cabin.

He checked the time and saw that there were still a few hours before the quota took effect. He did not hesitate and quickly logged onto the official English version of Elf Kingdom website to carefully read the history recorded in the game…

Although it was called history, it was only nine years in the game.

The first eight years and the ninth year were clearly divided into two eras, or two versions.

Tony watched a lot of commentary videos on YouTube about the first eight years of Elf Kingdom.

It was probably from 1066 to 1073 of the Eternal Era. The world tree of goddess Eve, the leader of the faction in the game, revived on a plane and continued to grow with the help of the players.

In the ninth year, goddess Eve defeated the enemy and became the strongest god in the entire game, and the real mastermind of the entire universe officially appeared…

The Eternal Era ended and the Dawn Era began.

It is said that the new plot is to conquer the planes, purify the pollution left by the mastermind on each plane, and build altars on the planes, perform rituals and merge with the world tree to prepare for the goddess’s transcendence.

The international server was also opened at this time.

The time of surfing the Internet is always fast.

After Tony went through the history of “Elf Kingdom” with relish, the time in the stealth cabin also pointed to twelve o’clock at midnight.

This time is also twelve o’clock in the morning of the imperial capital of the Celestial Empire.

A new wave of player quotas for “Elf Kingdom” is officially open.

Tony was refreshed and quickly clicked on the “Elf Kingdom” that had been prepared long ago and entered the game.

[Character detection… No character detected…]

[Entering character creation interface…]

System messages flashed across his vision, and with a sense of weightlessness as if he was riding an elevator, Tony came to the character creation interface.

There is only one kind of character creation in “Elf Kingdom”, that is, elves.

The elves are divided into seven tribes: Moonlight, Wind, Frost, Shadow, Thunder, Rock Sand, and Flame. Players can choose one of the other six tribes except the Moonlight tribe, or set it freely.

Tony did not hesitate and chose the Rock Sand tribe.

There was no other reason, because his hair color in the real world was exactly the same as that of the Rock Sand tribe, which made him feel very familiar.

After choosing the tribe, it was time to pinch the face. It took Tony a lot of time, and finally he pinched the image of a wild elf with a burly figure and long hair.

As for the name, he simply and crudely named it “Tony”.

Then… loading failed, and the system showed that the name had been registered.

It was not until he changed his ID to his full name “Tony Wilson” that it showed that the registration was successful.

After finishing everything, Tony couldn’t wait to start…

The familiar feeling of weightlessness came again, and the picture dimmed.

Then, the cutscene slowly began –

the first thing that came into view was a dark and dilapidated world.

On the earth, there were towering altars one after another, and in front of the altars, the elves stood respectfully and prayed continuously…

The bright light burst out on the altar, and the golden light column shot up into the sky. The darkness in the sky was dispelled by the light, and the starry sky slowly emerged.

Then, the clouds rolled in the sky, thunder gradually rose, and a sweet rain fell…

Vibrant vitality appeared on the plane. Under the infiltration of rain, the cracked earth gradually showed green, and all things grew. After

the rain, the sky cleared up, the bright sunshine rose, and the whole world seemed to usher in a new life.

The elves stood in front of the altar and cheered…

Then, the picture rose, and the earth gradually became smaller.

Finally, the camera left the whole world and turned into a leaf.

The leaves grew on the branches, and more leaves grew everywhere on the branches.

Each leaf seemed to have a glow flowing, as if there was a vast world in it.

The camera continued to rise, branches, crowns, trunks…

Gradually, a lush giant tree came into Tony’s sight.

At the same time, the scene around the giant tree gradually became clear.

It turned out to be the boundless starry sky, and the giant tree stood above the void!

Countless stars slowly rotated around the giant tree. At this moment, the giant tree was like the center of the entire universe…

Seeing this scene, Tony was only shocked.

Faint subtitles appeared in the field of vision, and finally turned into a line of beautiful cursive characters:

“Elf Kingdom: World Tree”

Then, the field of vision suddenly brightened and turned into a vast expanse of white…

The sense of gravity was restored, and Tony regained his perception.

At this time, he was surprised to find that he had become an elf!

Then it was time to choose a profession.

He did not hesitate and chose the power system, and received the blessing from the goddess, and directly awakened two power system skills.

Reluctantly moving his gaze away from the goddess who was so beautiful that it was against his will, Tony, who had chosen his role and profession, gritted his teeth and pressed the “Next” option.

Immediately afterwards, the light in front of his eyes flickered again, and his vision darkened, turning into an endless starry sky.

A towering tree appeared in his sight.

The giant tree emitted a faint light, which looked a little illusory, like a projection, and there were four flickering light spots

on and around the giant tree. One was located at the roots, one was located on the main root, one was located on a leaf on a branch, and one was located in the void outside the tree…

At the same time, a new line of system prompts appeared in Tony’s vision:

[Birthplace selection]

“Birthplace selection…”

Tony’s heart moved, and he first looked at the brightest light spot on the main root.

After he focused his attention, a beautiful picture appeared in front of him.

It was a dense forest, and a prosperous city was hidden in the forest.

At the same time, an introduction appeared on one side of the screen –

[Segos World]

[This is the origin plane of the entire universe, and it is also the world where the Elven Chosen first appeared. As a fertile land like heaven, Segos is rich and beautiful, with brilliant culture and many races. Here, the war has ended, and the entire plane has ushered in a new era full of hope…]

[As a Chosen who has just arrived in this world, can you write your own legendary chapter in the new era? ]

[Difficulty of getting started: ★]

[Recommendation index: ★★★]

“Segos World?”

Tony’s eyes lit up.

He is very familiar with this world. It can be said that most of the “Elf Kingdom” videos on YouTube in the past two years are centered around this world. Not only

that, this world is also a transit station for many planes, and “Elf Kingdom” is a well-deserved transportation hub.

However, he didn’t really want to choose this world, because this world is the earliest map, and there are too many Chinese players in it.

Although the difficulty of getting started is marked as one star, according to the feedback from many international players, Chinese players in this world are a bit serious, and there are too few foreign players. There

are pros and cons to being born here.

After thinking for a while, he turned his gaze to the leaves on the branches –

that was a world wrapped in the ocean…

[Mindel World]

[Mindel World is the second plane merged by the goddess Eve after the Segs World. As an ocean plane, the land of this plane is only a small continent and hundreds of thousands of large and small islands distributed around the continent. Mindel is a relic plane. In the depths of the plane, there are ancient ruins that have not been explored…]

[As a chosen one who has just arrived in this world, can you leave your adventure legend in this world? ]

[Difficulty of getting started: ★★]

[Recommendation index: ★★★]

“Mindel…”

Tony pondered for a moment and shook his head gently.

There are not many players from the Celestial Empire on the Mindel plane, and the environment is also good, with extremely rich marine resources. In addition, it is said that there is a mysterious relic deep in the plane, with extremely rich resources, which is very suitable for new players to upgrade.

However, this plane is not exciting enough.

As a player who loves fighting, Tony lacks enough interest in exploring ruins.

Tony looked at the light spot at the root again –

this is a vast world like the ancient times…

[Silent World]

[The Silent World was once an abyss world called the Desolate Wasteland. After the goddess became the World Tree, it became the third fused plane and gained a new life. At the same time, as a former abyss plane, there are one plane channel after another leading to the abyss, and it is also a bridgehead against the abyss…]

[Build, or fight… As a chosen one who has just come to this world, can you choose your own path in this world? 】

【Difficulty of getting started: ★★★】

【Recommendation index: ★★★★】

“The Silent World…”

Tony touched his chin, recalling the information about this birth point…

There is no doubt that the Silent World is much poorer than the Mindel World and the Segs World, but at the same time, the number of players is small, and there is no competitive pressure.

In addition, as a newly merged plane, it is still recovering and growing. The pollution has been purified, the forest is expanding, and new resources may appear at any time. The potential for development and construction is also great, and there are many opportunities. It is very popular among international players.

However, there are no indigenous people in this world, only some remaining demons, which seems a bit monotonous.

After thinking for a moment, Tony looked at the last light spot again.

It was the only light spot outside the world tree.
