Game of the World Tree - Chapter 963

963. Chapter 955: The Path to Transcendence (III): The Age of Void
“Crossing the mountains and fog,”
“Reaching the deep cellar cave,”
“We must set out before dawn,”
“Looking for treasures and legendary places.”
“Take the starship and travel through the planes,”
“Our footprints are spread over thousands of miles.”
“The noble and beautiful elf chosen one,”
“Possessing a strong will and courage…”
The vicissitudes and passionate ballads accompanied by the moving accordion accompaniment slowly echoed in the cabin. It was the latest version of the magic phonograph playing music.
However, Tony prefers another name for this magic device – the magic sound.
The song is quite charming and the melody is beautiful.
Listening to it, people can’t help but imagine themselves becoming a noble elf chosen one, traveling and adventuring in the endless void and thousands of planes.
Of course, Tony has long been a famous elf chosen one.
He just likes the melody of this music, which reminds him of the days when he was just a newbie and adventuring in the dawn world.
However, that was 28 years ago in the game.
Even in the real world of Blue Star, seven years have passed…
Seven years can change a lot of things.
Moreover, in the game, this time has doubled.
The former Dawn World has long been integrated by the World Tree and has become one of the main planes where players are active.
Looking at the entire Infinite Void, the planes that have successfully integrated into the leaves of the World Tree have exceeded 10,000 seven years ago. In
these years, Tony has not even paid attention to how many planes the entire game has integrated, and how far the map has been opened.
Because he has become numb.
At the beginning, he was shocked by the huge map of “Elf Kingdom”.
But now, he has long been accustomed to it.
This game… is simply a paradise for travel enthusiasts.
Even if you have been traveling in the game, I am afraid you can’t go through the entire game map.
Not to mention traveling, I am afraid that it will take a long time just to check in.
Tony seriously suspects that “Elf Kingdom” has its own set of programs, and all new maps are randomly generated.
Anyway… ordinary manpower is definitely not able to complete such a huge workload.
“Captain, the starship is fully charged. When are we going to leave?”
A heavy voice came, interrupting Tony’s thoughts.
He turned around and saw the crew of his starship waiting for his answer respectfully.
This was a strong orc, a follower that Tony had conquered in an orc plane ten years ago in the game, a devout believer in life.
In the past ten years, he followed Tony to fight in seven planes and witnessed the ascension of seven planes. That’s
right, ascension.
It is said that this word was invented by Chinese players, specifically referring to the fusion of the plane world and the world tree.
Tony thought it was quite appropriate.
“Got it, notify all crew members and the Chosen Ones on the ship, we are ready to leave, those who should say goodbye, say goodbye quickly, after all, it’s not a farewell, after all, we can come back at any time after the plane channel to Segos is opened.”
Tony said.
After speaking, he glanced outside the round window of the cabin made of magic crystal.
Outside the starship, in the ruins of the city, there were crowds of people who saw them off.
They looked at the starship with strong reluctance and respect.
Tony was used to it. This was already the nineteenth plane he had fought in. As a void player, his mission was to travel in the sea of stars and shuttle between planes.
What? You ask, if that’s the case, why do you have to hide in the captain’s cabin alone?
Damn…
After all, it’s the place where I’ve been for more than a year.
People are not plants, who can be heartless.
The order to set off was quickly issued.
Although reluctant, the players on the plane still boarded the starship.
In the farewell of the plane residents, the light of magic bloomed on the starship, and the mysterious inscriptions and engravings slowly lit up.
Accompanied by a burst of exclamations, the starship slowly flew up and flew towards the sky…
There was no way, the plane channel leading to the world of Segos had not been built yet, and now if you want to enter and exit here, you still have to pass through the sky curtain.
After the starship took off, Tony also left the captain’s room. It was just a matter
of taking off and leaving. His crew had already had rich experience and did not need his special command.
The entire starship is not very big. In addition to the non-player starship crew, the full crew of players is only about 100 people.
One third of them are the teams that Tony has gathered over the years. Because everyone is a member of the Meng Meng Committee, Chinese players account for nearly half.
However, with the magical translation function of the game system, it is not difficult for everyone to communicate. In many cases, it is easy to ignore the various nationalities.
The remaining two-thirds are players who travel together on the starship, similar to passengers, and have paid a fee.
For a plane like today where there is no plane channel, players can only enter and exit through starships, sky fortresses or floating cities, and ordinary players can only buy tickets.
Even in the void, there is a special type of player who owns aircraft such as starships and specializes in making money by transporting other players.
In the main cabin, most people are resting. Many players should have logged off and slept all over the place.
There is no way. Although it is called a starship, it is actually just a larger modified airship. The predecessor of this thing is actually the Zeppelin airship made by players, but the airbag is removed, the hull is strengthened, and a small magic energy core is installed.
For example, Tony’s ship is the most common standard version. Although it is not the smallest model, the space is still relatively small. In addition to the captain’s room, the number of separate cabins is very limited.
There are larger and more advanced ones in the Chosen City and the Floating City, but the price… Even Tony, who has long been a gold boss, has to look up to it.
As for the sky fortress and floating city…
Only some large guilds have the strength to build the former. Even if the number of players online on the entire server has already exceeded 50 million, there are less than 300 sky fortresses, and most of them are small and medium-sized.
As for the latter, there is only one so far, and it is shared by several major guilds.
There is no way. Although the production technology of magic energy core has been put on the exchange mall since the players discovered the lost plane ten years ago in the game, it is only a small core.
The technology of a large core like the floating city is many times more complicated than that of a small one.
After research, high-end technical players such as Cuckoo Bird speculated that even if the relevant technology of this level of energy core is analyzed, it is probably only a legendary or even demigod-level existence that can make it.
So… in the end, the players gave up.
It was just that Dingyuan was lucky. Early players fished out a batch of long-lost large magic energy cores from the Dawn World, so they could barely make it.
As for Tony…
he had already gone bankrupt when he bought this small starship.
And even this small starship is a high-end product that most players look up to.
After all, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
This magical punk-style ship is designed for void navigation. The armor and magic array are designed to resist void energy erosion and even void storms. It also has a magic energy core, which has always been expensive, as a power source. If it is really classified, it is probably a quasi-legendary level.
The price is outrageous… which is normal.
In addition, it consumes energy. The starship consumes magic crystals, which is also a money-burning thing. Although it is much stronger than the sky fortress and floating city, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
In today’s “Elf Kingdom”, those who can afford to drive a starship must be local tyrants. In comparison, training a group of NPC followers who can control starships is a relatively simple matter.
Seeing Tony come in, the awake players greeted him and continued to do their own things.
Some players also leaned on the window to look out, looking very excited. These players are often semi-newbies who have not been in the pit for a long time. They don’t sit in starships very often and like to enjoy the scenery outside.
Tony is different. He has been traveling in the void for nearly ten years, and he has long been sick of seeing the most beautiful scenery.
Compared with the grandeur of the void, seriously speaking, he prefers the lush, beautiful and charming Elf Forest.
Under layers of acceleration, the starship passed through the plane barrier on the plane sky and stepped into the void.
The next moment, the ship body shook slightly and soon returned to calm.
Tony knew that this was the magic shield of the starship opened.
The power of the void is everywhere in the vast void.
Except for some Void species that can adapt to survival, only the extraordinary people of Legend and above can resist the erosion of the void power and travel between planes.
Below Legend, you must take good protection and ride special vehicles.
For example, starship.
Starship, as the name suggests, is a ship that shuttles between stars.
Although the void in “Elf Kingdom” is still very different from the space of Blue Star, in the eyes of players, it is not much different.
Although the materials of each starship are specially built for the erosion of the void power, it is better to use it with a shield, which can minimize the loss of the starship.
Of course, the shield also needs to burn magic crystals.
Only in the sky fortress and floating city can the goddess statue be placed, and the power of faith required for the exchange of contribution points can be consumed instead of magic crystals.
These days, contribution points are cheaper than magic crystals.
Leaving the plane, the starship entered the void.
Tony gave the order to fly at full speed and flew towards the nearest sky fortress.
There is no other way. Although the starship is also equipped with a directional ultra-long-distance teleportation array, it is too expensive to teleport once.
Generally speaking, Tony prefers to take a ride on the sky fortress and land directly in the fortress to use the array to go back.
“Pay attention, observe the surroundings, the magic crystal cannon is on standby, the plane ascension is over, and there will probably be more void pirates during this period.”
Tony ordered in a deep voice.
After hearing his words, the NPC crew members looked stern, and even the awake players looked serious.
If there is any major change with the advent of the void era, it must be the void pirates.
There are all kinds of birds in the forest.
This sentence is true at any time.
As time goes by, the number of players increases, and the gap between new and old players becomes larger and larger. There are many people who want to use crooked brains to take shortcuts.
Although “Elf Kingdom” has strict red name rules to punish violators, as the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below, and these rules are not without loopholes.
Among them, the most famous is the void pirate.
Plane development is a highly profitable activity. Even without mentioning the system rewards, the looting during the conquest of other planes is enough to make players rich overnight. Naturally, some people set their sights on players who return after completing their missions.
These people often purchase starships, wander in the void, and specifically target other players’ starships.
However, they only rob things, not kill people. If they really need to silence people, they will leave it to the NPCs they have conquered to complete it, so they escape punishment.
Such people are called void pirates.
Many years ago, Tony was also robbed once.
At that time, he had not yet entered the gold rank. If he had not been careful and did not transport all the spoils of the development back at once, I am afraid that the development would have been in vain. It
takes at least half a year to develop once, which is one and a half months in real time. If all the hard work of one and a half months is lost, anyone will explode.
However, although Tony has now become a professional of the gold rank, he still has to be careful.
Because there are also high-level players among the void pirates.
If you really encounter void pirates…
it depends on the situation.
Generally speaking, including Tony, most captains prefer to pay a sum of money and leave.
If you can avoid fighting, don’t fight. If you damage the ship, the money for repairing may not be as much as the profit from a trip.
Of course, if you encounter the kind of people who like to fight and kill, it will be troublesome.
There are really such perverts, and there are many.
The crew and players were highly alert and drove the starship in the predetermined direction.
That was the location of the air fortress of the Meng Meng Committee.
And with them, there were several other starships, some large and some small.
They were ships that took off from the same plane, and everyone would often choose to travel together, which would be relatively safer.
Of course, if you encounter a large group of void pirates, it would be more miserable.
After sailing for about ten minutes, suddenly, the alarm sounded loudly, Tony’s expression changed slightly, and he hurried to the bow and looked into the void.
Sure enough, in front of the fleet composed of returning players, a starship suspected to be a void pirate ship appeared.
The appearance is still easy to identify. In order to reduce losses, the void pirate ships often dismantle the directional long-distance transmission device. After being damaged, they will repair it by themselves, and will not be sent to the Segos world for a comprehensive overhaul at a high price.
So… these pirate ships often look a little bit more desolate.
Fortunately, there is only one ship.
After flying around Tony’s fleet for a long time, it seems that the other party feels that it cannot win, and finally chooses to leave.
Tony breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he was not completely relieved, because he was not sure whether the other party had only this one ship, or was just exploring the way ahead, or… just temporarily leaving to gather people.
It was not until he saw the fortress of the Mengmeng Committee that he finally put his mind at ease, ordered the crew to slow down, and drove towards the fortress…
A friend recommended a book, “Cthulhu from the Priest”, a new book by Xian Miao, everyone supports it.
