Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 271 - 262 Is This a Hidden Plot? (Two - s in One)_2
Chapter 271: Chapter 262 Is This a Hidden Plot? (Two Chapters in One)_2
He kept saying "Exactly," "Exactly," while accepting the fruits eagerly handed over by the elves.
He took a bite.
So sweet.
Shortly after Hu Lu, the second player also burst out of the teleportation array.
This one was equally excited, planning to head straight to the central plaza to enter the exchange mall, only to be surrounded by the enthusiastic elves with a bewildered expression...
Of course, once he understood the elves’ intentions, he relaxed and unceremoniously accepted the fruit, munching away contentedly.
He had been playing the storyline for an entire day and night...
*To be honest, he really was hungry.*
The teleportation array continued to flicker.
More and more returning players appeared...
Soon, the few hundred elves couldn’t handle the welcoming anymore.
And at this moment, the native elves suddenly remembered something...
Chosen Ones...
There were more than ten thousand, weren’t there?
Usually, because the players were spread out in various areas, the ten thousand dispersed over a map of several hundred square kilometers didn’t seem much.
But when they gathered together...
The elves realized that it was a lot!
In no time, a massive number of Chosen Ones flooded into the Chosen City through the teleportation array, engulfing the few hundred native elves in the crowd...
Everywhere you looked, there were colorful heads, all with bizarre styles and various kinds...
The entire Chosen City was completely caught up in the uproar.
However, the vast majority of them did the same first thing upon teleporting back: they headed straight towards the temple or the central plaza.
They bowed and prayed devoutly to the World Tree, their expressions sincere yet nervous.
For a time, thousands of elves prayed simultaneously to the World Tree, creating a truly spectacular scene.
Seeing the Chosen Ones praying devoutly to the Mother Goddess, the native elves felt even more moved...
"No wonder they are the Divine Envoys summoned by the Mother Goddess, the first thing they do upon returning victorious is to pray to the Mother Goddess..."
"Look! Look! Some of the Chosen Ones are so moved they’re crying..."
"Who said the Chosen Ones have no faith? They are also loyal children of the Mother Goddess! They are also sincerely praying to the Mother Goddess!"
"What children? They are clearly Divine Envoys! They are pious Divine Envoys!"
The elves were full of admiration, feeling even closer to the players...
Of course, they didn’t know the players were just praying for the Goddess to bless them with drawing the golden legendary.
And those who cried.
They were the unlucky ones.
In the crowd, Little Xian Miao also returned to the Chosen City.
The wealthy girl looked pleased with the Lion Heart Sword in her hand.
Walking beside her was Sister Gugu, the vice president of the Mengmeng Committee.
Sister Gugu, seeing her happy expression, couldn’t help but sincerely remind her:
"Little Xian Miao, you’re a mage. Isn’t getting this Lion Heart Sword a waste? Plus, it’s so expensive. Isn’t it too much of a loss? If I remember correctly, you have a good family background, but you’re still in school, right?"
"A loss?"
Little Xian Miao’s eyes turned into crescents as she smiled.
She glanced around, giggled, and said to Sister Gugu:
"Don’t worry! Sister Gugu, it’s absolutely not a loss!"
"Sister Gugu! Do you believe that once silver equipment becomes available, the price of this weapon will surely only increase, not decrease! Let alone it being a limited edition main storyline equipment!"
"I’ve even asked Mairrel, and weapons of this level aren’t common, plus it’s a Divine Artifact!"
"Now everyone doesn’t have much contribution, yet they need to come up with it immediately, so it could be auctioned for three million. Later on, it might even be ten million! By then, if I sell it, I will profit!"
Sister Gugu: ...
"But..."
She shook her head:
"By that time, contribution points won’t be worth much..."
"But I’m not taking out three million contribution points all at once... I borrowed them, you know, and I’ll pay them back slowly!"
"Plus, I can rent this weapon to others. It’s very sharp and sturdy, almost no chance of damage. Renting it out, making money in the long term!"
"Of course, I mean renting it to the First Legion, not individuals. Credit isn’t reliable."
"Fried Tomato, although a bit shady, doesn’t dare openly do anything wrong on the surface. He’s really eager for this weapon and almost bid for it. Renting it to him, it’ll be a long-term gain!"
Little Xian Miao said leisurely.
Sister Gugu: ...
*Are all children of businesspeople this cunning?*
Seeing the speechless look on Sister Gugu’s face, Little Xian Miao chuckled again:
"Are you serious, Sister Gugu?"
Sister Gugu: ...
"You’re joking with me?"
This scholarly player widened her eyes, looking at Little Xian Miao with an annoyed expression.
"Haha! Half of it is true!"
Little Xian Miao laughed, then her expression turned somewhat serious:
"Actually... I learned about the significance of the Lion Heart Sword to the Half-Beasts from the mouth of a captured Half-Beast."
"This weapon, symbolizing kingship, is more than just a silver weapon to the Half-Beasts. Its history even predates the True God of the Half-Beasts. I think... it might be of use in the future, so I auctioned it off."
"Perhaps... it could even trigger some hidden storyline."
"Of course, a good portion of what I said earlier was true as well."
"And if I’m really wrong, I’ll just consider the loss as blowing through my New Year’s money. The joy is in playing, after all!"
*That made sense.*
Sister Gugu nodded.
However, she soon felt a bit flabbergasted.
*Oh my...*
Currently, the exchange rate between contribution points and RMB is 5 to 1, right?
*This girl...*
*Has that much in New Year’s money?!*
For a moment, Sister Gugu felt incredibly poor.
*Ah, reality, a reminder that what might be someone else’s starting point could well be the endpoint of a lifetime of struggle for you.*
*Or worse, not even the endpoint.*
Sister Gugu shook her head.
After speaking, Little Xian Miao sighed again, with a hint of regret on her face:
"Sigh... I even gave up the High Priest’s Priest Robe for this longsword..."
Sister Gugu: ...
*That’s only because the appearance fanatic thinks the Half-Beast Priest’s robe is too ugly!*
She rolled her eyes and silently complained.
The Half-Beast Priest’s robe was made of sheepskin, indeed a bit ugly.
Sister Gugu also found it unattractive.
The two chatted while walking toward the World Tree.
They had also collected several lottery tickets, planning to test their luck.
"Sister Gugu, I already have a full set of gold gear; if I draw a golden legendary equipment, I’ll give it to you as thanks for tutoring me during this time!"
Little Xian Miao said with a laugh.
Sister Gugu raised her eyebrows:
"Then I won’t hesitate to accept it."
Taking advantage of the wealthy doesn’t go to waste.
Of course, the relationship between the two had already evolved significantly, as evidenced by the fact that Sister Gugu, who was always cold to others, showed a much more animated expression when interacting with Little Xian Miao...
The two reached the central plaza, prayed to the World Tree, and began the lottery in the exchange mall.
However, unfortunately... the Goddess did not favor them, and they only drew some contribution points and revival coins, as well as several meditation practices.
"Sigh, it seems I am destined not to be a Luck King."
Little Xian Miao shook her head in disappointment.
Sister Gugu glanced at her, swallowing the "You were born a Luck King" comment back into her stomach.
Of course, while Little Xian Miao and Sister Gugu had bad luck, with so many players, some were bound to be lucky.
On the central plaza, hearty laughter occasionally erupted from the players.
And messages like [Congratulations to so-and-so, Luck King possessed, blessed by the Goddess, and drew Lower Black Iron Gold Legendary Equipment ×××!] would appear in everyone’s field of view...
Naturally, these drew no small envy, jealousy, and hatred from others.
"No rush, I’ll just go do some tasks and grind more lottery tickets."
Sister Gugu stated.
Little Xian Miao nodded:
"I won’t be going; I have played too long this time and need to log off."
With that, she yawned:
"Ah... yawn... This is the first time I’ve pulled an all-nighter in a game. I didn’t expect it to feel as exhausting as in reality."
"Well, I’m logging off now! I’ll come back online after recuperating."
Little Xian Miao said to Sister Gugu.
Sister Gugu also nodded:
"Bye-bye."
The two waved goodbye, one logging off and the other continuing to grind tasks.
However, just as Sister Gugu was about to take on tasks, she suddenly noticed a buzz in the guild’s chat channel.
"What’s going on?"
Sister Gugu was a bit curious.
She clicked on the guild chat interface and saw a video link posted there.
The link’s title was quite eye-catching—
"Amazing! Caught on Camera: Goddess Battles Half-Beast God! Could this be a hidden plotline?!"
