Game of the World Tree

The festive celebration of the wedding gradually came to an end.

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

The girl followed behind her cartoonist teacher, and while listening to someone's laugh, she asked with a black line on her face:

"So... Mr. Black Cat, did you know from the beginning that those without IDs are NPCs?"

"Hahaha, Xiao Cao, don't you really think they are players with hidden IDs?"

Cao Lingxuan:  …

This Nima is so smart, so I don't say anything about facial expressions and actions. I don't feel any sense of disobedience when I talk to you, and I even know about "players" and "reality". Who would have thought that the other party turned out to be an NPC!

She groaned in her heart.

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

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? I really thought I was talking to other players..."

The girl said slightly resentfully.

"Haha, I don't want to see when you will find out! I saw that you had been talking to Nightingale for so long, and I thought you had already noticed it."

Mao Mo laughed.

Cao Lingxuan:  …

She felt a sense of disobedience.

But the correct answer was ruled out for the first time.

"This game...is really full of 'surprises'..."

She sighed slightly.

"Isn't it? The NPC system that is replaced by fake is one of the three main highlights of "Elf Kingdom". This is unmatched by any other virtual game, and it is the only one on the entire network."

Momo said.

"Three bright spots? What about the other two?"

Cao Lingxuan asked curiously.

Mao Mo glanced at him and smiled:

"There is one you have just realized. How does the food taste like?"

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 just taste, but also smell, touch, hearing, etc...or - the five senses!"

"Yes, it's the five senses! The perception system of "Elf Kingdom" is the most realistic of all virtual games. This is another cross-generational highlight of this game."

Momo said.

Cao Lingxuan was thoughtful.

"Then... what about the third one?"

she asked again.

But this time, Mao Mo sold a trick:

"The third one... Hey, Xiao Cao, you'll know when you're offline."

Cao Lingxuan:  …

And after that, Mao Mo's words changed:

"However, if I were to say, what surprised me the most was the NPCs here."

"The most shocking thing about this game is these NPCs!"

As he spoke, he jumped on a stone by the side of the road, pointed to the elves who came and went without ID, and said:

"Xiao Cao, look at these NPCs, no... or the inhabitants of "Even Kingdom", um... this is more appropriate, if you communicate with them further, you will find that they are not just a character, a Symbols are also walking stories, and they are constantly changing and moving forward with the participation and promotion of players.”

"A 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 story."

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

"Have you seen that blacksmith shop? The owner of that blacksmith shop is named Carlos Ryder, an elf blacksmith. He used to have a very talented child, but he avoided half a dozen years ago more than 400 years ago. Killed while the orcs were hunting."

"After losing his child, he was extremely grief-stricken, and he gradually walked out of his grief until the player came, drove the Orcs away from the Elf Forest, and welcomed their tribe back."

"He is already very old. After that, his biggest wish is to find a successor who can inherit the mantle of an elf blacksmith. Unfortunately, there are no young people in the elf family who can inherit his skills."

"Of course... now he has been found among the players."

"Look, the players working in the blacksmith shop are all his new disciples. After some players chose to become his disciples, the smiles on the face of the old elf Carlos became more and more."

After speaking, Mao Mo turned around again and pointed to the temple on the other side.

Cao Lingxuan followed the other party's gesture and saw a handsome male elf entering the temple with two excited spirits.

Hmm... no, the two spirits that follow don't seem to be the same as the others...

Their ears seem more human than elves.

"That's the half-elves, they came here from the half-plane of Oros."

"The Oros Half-Plane is a sub-plane of Saigus. You can think of it as a map of the game, but this map is very large..."

"This map was once in a state of loss and disaster, and it was the player who retrieved it and saved the world. These half-elves are NPCs who purify their blood after the players preached their beliefs."

"Have you seen the leader? That NPC's name is Tyler Yansha, and he was the first one among the half-planes and half-elves to purify blood into elves. Now... he should bring those two half-elves into the temple. , to help them completely transform their bloodlines and become real elves."

"Taylor Yansha used to be an adventurer. He knew a lot, and he liked drinking. If you get along with him, you can hear him tell the story of his past when he was an adventurer after drinking."

"Those stories... are definitely more exciting than each other. You can learn about the customs and customs of the Oros half-plane through him, and understand the historical stories there. You will find that just a map in the game can bring you a kind of The epic sense of surging waves..."

"By the way, do you still remember the new plot from our previous comics?"

Mao Mo looked at Cao Lingxuan.

The girl raised her eyebrows and asked:

"Is that the reversal plot where the protagonist's former love went astray for him? It seems to have a good response among readers, but you seem to be scolded a bit miserably when the character dies..."

"Hahaha, being scolded means that I have succeeded in painting."

Mao Mo laughed.

"The inspiration for the plot came from the story of the half-plane of Oros, which was related to a half-elf named Oros."

he said.

Hearing this, Cao Lingxuan couldn't help but ask:

"How do you know this game so well? When did you know so much?"

"Haha, of course through the game video!"

Momo laughed.

Cao Lingxuan:  …

Yes.

Teacher Black Cat has been addicted to game videos for more than half a year!

How could I forget this stubble?

No wonder he feels like a duck to water after entering the game...

And Mao Mo went on to explain:

"I didn't get selected by the game test before, so I had to watch the video to get the material, so over time, although I haven't entered the game, I already know a lot of things."

As he spoke, his expression took on a hint of emotion:

"Nation of the Elf 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 perfect 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, and then he was surprised to find that the stories between different NPCs are all connected to each other. of……"

"For example, an NPC once experienced a war, and some other NPCs appeared in the story he told. If you look for these NPCs, you can also know the details of the war from their mouths, and from their Personal perspective..."

"Hehe, this method is actually used 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, and there will be different NPCs in every detail. The stories behind them are not single, and they themselves form a very exaggerated relationship network. "

"Don't say, don't say, all the elves in the forest of elves, if you start from any one and check his relatives and friends through his interpersonal relationship, you will find at most four or five times, you can almost find all the elves NPCs. ."

"The sense of realism and heaviness brought by this layer of witness is absolutely not found in other games."

Hearing this, Cao Lingxuan couldn't help but say:

"It sounds like a real world."

"It's the real world."

Momo said.

"To create the most authentic and immersive epic fantasy ever! That's... that's the slogan of Elf Nation, and they did it, and they did it better than anyone imagined, no...or, beyond anyone. imagination!"

"Not only that, NPCs are not static, or...their interactions with players are also very open."

"You will find that NPCs have their own lives and emotions, and players can communicate with them freely and even become their friends..."

"At the same time, the actions of the players are also affecting the NPCs, affecting their beliefs, affecting their behavior, affecting their choices, and thus affecting the direction of the entire story."

"As the opening plot said, every player is the writer and witness of history."

Mao Mo said with a slight sigh.

"Even... NPC might fall in love with the player?"

Cao Lingxuan asked curiously.

"Huh? You mean Nightingale?"

Mao Mo glanced at the girl.

He touched his chin and said:

"Speaking of which... Nightingale's story can be considered a classic. It has the taste of a hero saving beauty, but it's a bit bloody."

Cao Lingxuan:  …

"So... the material you said was aimed at the NPCs here?"

Looking at Mao Mo's profile, she moved in her heart and asked.

"BINGO! That's right!"

Mao Mo snapped his fingers.

Saying that, his expression was a bit complicated:

"To be honest, after learning more and more about the NPC background story of "Elf Country", I feel a deep sense of frustration..."

"Um?"

The girl looked surprised.

Mao Mo sighed:

"Xiao Cao, you should know that what I have always been most proud of is the truthfulness and rigour of the worldview in my comics, including the truthfulness and three-dimensionality of the characters in my stories..."

"I have always felt that only I can present a very real story to readers, and no one can surpass me in shaping the characters and deducing the rationality of the plot, but after I learned about "The Kingdom of the Elf", I found that I was too young..."

"Those who design the world view of "The Kingdom of the Elf", who design the NPCs in the "elf country", and those who design the background stories of the characters in "The Kingdom of the Elf" are the real winners!"

Cao Lingxuan:  …

"Don't be so discouraged. There must be more than one planner for a game of this scale, and the plan must have been planned for a long time, and you have only one person."

she comforted.

"No no... Even so, it's terrifying, and that's why... I want to enter the game to draw materials, I want to learn the storytelling skills of "Elf Kingdom", and I want to understand the world."

Momo said.

"You will surely succeed!"

Cao Lingxuan made a cheer gesture.

Mao Mo smiled:

"I think so."

Cao Lingxuan:  …

"Alright, alright, having said that, it's time to work, let me start collecting materials! Um... First of all, start with the novice task!"

Mao Mo clapped his hands and said.

He moved his body a bit, then ran towards the mission point.

Cao Lingxuan was stunned for a while, but quickly followed.

However, after running a few steps, she muttered strangely:

"Start with a novice mission? Isn't that an excuse to play games?"

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

According to Mr. Black Cat, quests are the safest way for newbies to be promoted in "Elf Kingdom".

At the beginning, it was boring, and I could only do some hard work, but after the level was higher, I could go to the NPC's quest, and that was also the goal of Teacher Black Cat.

However, although the black cat teacher said that the novice task will be boring, but the girl who never plays games thinks it is quite interesting.

Picking berries in the forest, looking for magic ingredients...

In her opinion, the scenery of "The Kingdom of the Elf" is so beautiful, and the process of this task is originally a process of sightseeing.

The view was amazing.

And the most wonderful thing is that when you enjoy the beautiful scenery, you only keep the relaxation and pleasure of the five senses, without fatigue and fatigue.

This made Cao Lingxuan more and more addicted.

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

The joy of upgrading is great!

Of course, it is not without its shortcomings.

That is, there seem to be too many players...

It's fine in the forest.

When taking a mission...that's a disaster.

But even so, Cao Lingxuan unknowingly played with Teacher Black Cat until it was dark.

But it wasn't until the sun set and night fell that 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...

"Oops! Manuscript!"

Cao Lingxuan slapped her thigh, and then quickly reminded an uncle who was still enjoying himself:

"Teacher Black Cat! We forgot to catch up! Time is running out!"

After finishing speaking, she was very regretful in her heart:

How can you forget about this while playing with it? !

Really, she clearly set up a sneak pod to remind her regularly, but the dead machine didn't call her!

However, after listening to the girl's words, Mao Mo still looked like a leisurely wanderer:

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

Cao Lingxuan:  …

Where's the time!

Submitting soon!

And what the hell is working in a game? !

Oh... that's right... It seems that it is possible to open external software in "Even Kingdom".

But is the game environment suitable for work? !

And... Mr. Black Cat, don't you really want to take the opportunity to play the game for a while? !

There are countless grooves in Cao Lingxuan's heart that she wants to vomit.

Seeing her changing expression, Mao Mo smiled and said:

"Xiao Cao, don't worry, you can quit the game and have a look, or... just look at the real time."

Real time?

Cao Lingxuan frowned.

She opened her mouth, but in the end she subconsciously took a look at the real time as the other party said.

And when she opened the external link and saw the time set in the sneak pod, she immediately frowned:

"15 o'clock? Is the machine time broken?"

But Mao Mo just looked at her with a smile.

Cao Lingxuan:  …

She felt... as if something was wrong.

After a second of silence, the girl immediately chose to go offline, and when she climbed out of the stealth cabin, she was instantly dumbfounded:

"Why is it still daytime?!"

"Of course it's because the time inside and outside the game is different."

On the other side, Teacher Black Cat's vicissitudes of life rang out.

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

"Xiao Cao, this game uses thinking acceleration technology, our thinking in the game is four times that of reality, that is to say... the time flow in the game is four times that of reality, so although we feel in the game that the past has passed A day, but in reality it’s only a few hours.”

"Hey, we quadrupled our time in Elfland, so we don't have to worry about running out of time when we create in-game!"

"Haha, with this game, we no longer have to worry about being urged to draft."

"Okay, let's get into the game quickly, our bodies are still in the wild, don't be touched by the equipment. Let's play for another half day, and then start working!"

After speaking, Mao Mo quickly lay back down again.

Cao Lingxuan:  …

She glanced at each other speechlessly and shook her head.

However, it also chose to go online.

"Four times faster..."

"If that's the case, and there's still time, just... let's play for a while, and then just level up!"

she muttered to herself.

...

Three days after the world of Seggs...

In the hotel of Amway Firm.

Two players, a man and a woman, were sitting in the room. They had dark circles under their eyes and stared blankly at the drawing software interface in their field of vision, while their hands kept gesturing in the void...

"There are only three hours left to submit the manuscript, Xiao Cao can speed up the progress."

"I'm painting, I'm painting, and I'm too busy! Who said that I would only play for half a day?!"
