Chapter 88: Touched Al
Al left the temple and came to the town.
The current elf town is larger than before.
This is thanks to the continuous construction of players, as building quests are always present and are the most common daily quest in Kingdom of the Elves.
As the number of players increases, the division of labour is further refined.
This isn't intentional by Eve, but spontaneous by the players.
Human beings are already social creatures, with a strong sense of group and division of labour, and this trend has become more and more obvious after adapting to the rhythm of "Kingdom of the Elves".
In particular, the emergence of second-test players has further supplemented the labour force, and now players have faintly formed the prototype of the division of labour order.
Taking the construction work as an example, the design of the building has almost been taken over by the elf construction team of the "Lovely Committee" union, who are proper white-collar workers.
The specific construction is carried out by some players who have mastered magic and special skills, and they are grey-collar technicians.
As for the weaker second-beta players... They can only choose to collect building materials every day. And they are the bottom blue-collar workers.
Not only that, the tumultuous operation of players thinking of ways to make money has gradually appeared.
The "Lovely Committee" has launched a free DIY project for real estate development, and as long as you have enough contributions in your pocket, they can even help you build a gorgeous palace according to your dreams!
Of course, the only person who has done this so far is the guild leader Little Salty Meow, and the luxury vacation estate she threw money into building in the southwest of Elf Town is almost completed...
The "First Army" guild has opened a service for Second Test players.
As long as you have money, you can team up with the iron level bigwigs to beat up monsters in the wild. You only need to last-hit the monsters and eat up experience.
There are also some lifestyle players who have started to open various shops in the town, most of which provide food.
After all, most players still like to sightsee everywhere when entering the game, and although food in the Elven Forest is easy to find, it still takes time to collect.
Some players found a business opportunity and directly opened a store to sell berries.
Have good cooking skills, do catering work, process the collected ingredients, open a small restaurant, and the business was quite good.
Especially a few buddies who are engaged in underground barbecue behind the backs of Alice...
In addition, some first-beta players simply rented their own vacant rooms to provide accommodation for second-beta players who did not have the money to build a house and did not want to go offline in the morgue.
All kinds of commotion operations made the second test players shout:
"The gap between people is still so big!"
It's true.
But even so, the second test players are still in painful happiness.
Everyone worked on tasks, accumulated experience and contribution points, and worked hard to get more strength, better skills, and shinier equipment, like a hardworking little bee...
Sometimes, Eve wonders, if everyone is provided with a system that can see the value in the reality of Earth, will people become so lively?
In fact, everyone just lacks a visible goal and direction.
For stronger players, the most rewarded, richest, and most anticipated thing is a story mission.
Unlike other games, "Kingdom of Elves" story missions are all one-off.
The story missions here can really drive the story forward, the sense of epicness and participation is very strong. It's easy to make people feel a sense of belonging, and it has been well received by players.
At the moment Al left the temple, all players received a new system message.
[Main Quest: The Return of the Flame Clan]
[Mission Description: The Flame Clan is an ancient branch of the Elven Clan, and after a thousand years of tribulation, they finally chose to go home... Now, it's time to pick them up!]
[Mission objective: Follow Al, protect every Flame Clan elf, and bring them home smoothly.]
[Mission Time: Unlimited]
[Mission Level: 11+]
[Number of Players: Unlimited]
[Mission Rewards: Experience Points, Perfect Resurrection, Contribution Points]
Seeing the system message, the players boiled again.
As soon as Al came out, he was immediately surrounded by players.
"Al! Is there a new task?"
"Want to pick up the clansmen? Be sure to bring me! I have a lot of combat experience!"
"Little Brother Al! I've just learned a new fire magic, and my fireball is quite powerful!"
One by one, players surrounded him, their eyes shining.
Looking at the enthusiastic and expectant eyes, at the smiling faces full of vitality and energy, Al was very moved.
Thinking of his former clan, the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
If his own tribe had so many brave warriors who aren't afraid of hardships and dangers, and dare to kill and fight, would the tragedy not have happened?
These special clansmen who Mother Goddess called the Chosen... Selfless, brave, and strong!
Al looked around, his eyes slightly red.
He said excitedly,
"Yes, I will go to the edge of the Elven Forest and bring some clansmen home! I do need some help, however."
After speaking, he paused and looked serious.
"This time, we are very likely to encounter half-orcs. The risk is very large, everyone should seriously consider it."
After the confirmation, the players immediately became more excited.
"Risk? My middle name is Risk!"
"Hey, hey! Risks and opportunities coexist!"
"Lord Al! Be sure to bring me!"
"Finally there is a task! My level has reached level 11, and I haven't done a story quest yet!"
"And me! I'll be right away from a level up!"
They looked excited and seemed to be discussing not a dangerous action, but a fun game.
Looking at the chosen ones who enthusiastically signed up, Al was even more moved...
"No rush! No rush! Let's go together! Let's go together!"
Al's chest was full of pride.
......
> Cave Tribe
The Chief Priest, Giantcliff, walked around the cave and seemed to be in a bad mood.
He glanced at the stone calendar used for timing, and his expression was very solemn.
"It's been so many days, why is there still no news from Blackstone?"
He told Blackstone that the latest return date had passed, but the other party had not yet returned.
Blackstone had always been steady, and such a thing is unusual for him. He is very cautious and punctual...
Not only that, the team of half-orcs sent by Giantcliff also had no news at all, as if they had completely lost contact.
All this made the old priest more and more uneasy in his heart, and at the same time, there was even a faint hint of surprise.
"Could it be... What really happened in the Elven Forest? Blackstone is good in combat, after all..!"
Logically speaking, Blackstone sweeping through the core area of the Elven Forest is more than enough.
"It can't really be a high-level existence, can it?"
Giantcliff fidgeted.
Just as he hesitated to send some more men to investigate, a half-orc scout entered the cave.
"Priest, Lord!"
His voice was excited.
Giabtcliff frowned and said with some displeasure,
"What happened?"
The half-orc saluted him.
"Our kin have found a large number of migrating elves nearby! It seems to be a clan!"
