Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 280 - 269: Target—Human World!

What was the first thing players loved to do when entering a new, unfamiliar game?

Uncover the map.

After a game version update, when a new expansion pack appeared, what was the first thing players loved to do online?

Still, uncover the map.

In short... for many players, they were in the habit of lighting up all areas on their mini-map.

Many players itched all over their bodies if they hadn’t completely explored the map to its extreme due to obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Many players in the Elf Forest were the same.

However, compared to past virtual games, the map of "Elf Kingdom" was indeed too vast.

Here, when you said it was one kilometer, it truly was one kilometer, and the forest was rugged and hard to traverse. Although the Elf Clan itself was agile and very suitable for forest activities, for players, exploring the map in "Elf Kingdom" was still quite difficult.

In fact, except for some particularly addicted to exploring players, more players, after getting familiar with the necessary map, turned their attention to leveling up and defeating monsters.

Those obsessed with exploring the extremes spent nearly two months before they almost fully explored the map’s edges.

An activity area covering three hundred kilometers around...

A circle means the area within a certain radius.

And a radius of three hundred kilometers was a huge region.

This area was nearly 300,000 square kilometers.

What did this concept represent?

Hmm, it was roughly the size of seven or eight Taiwans on Blue Star.

When ten thousand players were thrown into this area and scattered, it was truly lonely.

Indeed, in the wilds of the Elf Forest, you could walk for half a day and not encounter a single player...

In contrast, there were plenty of Demon Beasts.

In fact, even the core area’s low-level monsters were all cleared by players.

Travel further, and there were plenty of Demon Beasts.

But naturally, players were even more scarce.

It was only the core area of the Chosen City that was the center of player activities, so it seemed more lively.

However, despite the wide activity range, after two months of the game’s launch and over eight months in the game world,

players eventually explored all the areas that could be explored.

Grinding quests, farming instances, doing daily tasks, and regularly entertaining in Chosen City while teasing NPCs in the process... became the main gameplay content for players.

Um, that’s not right.

Now no one dared to tease NPCs arbitrarily anymore because it would drop their reputation rating.

Until this new version update...

"Elf Kingdom" was finally about to open a new map!

However, by the rules of Elf Kingdom, "opening a new map" simply meant expanding the players’ activity range.

Actually, many players speculated that the official Elf Kingdom had probably already designed the game map, but hadn’t opened it to players yet.

There was evidence.

It was during the Black Dragon Castle battle when players chased the Half-Beast, they ended up chasing all the way to the map boundaries.

Then the Half-Beast escaped beyond the map boundaries, leaving players helpless...

Although the chase failed, the successful escape of the Half-Beast indirectly indicated that the finished map of "Elf Kingdom" was indeed much larger than the players’ activity area.

The scenes visible from the map boundaries, which many once thought of as mere "wallpapers," might actually be broader maps yet to be unlocked!

Before, players could not explore them, but now they could.

After the version update, their activity distance expanded further, increasing from a radius of three hundred kilometers to five hundred kilometers!

In other words, the activity area more than doubled.

However, there were limits to players’ activities.

The system required that the new map beyond three hundred kilometers could only be explored by players of at least level 31.

Level 31 was the Black Iron Upper level.

Across the server, only some first-test players and the Second Test Liver Emperor players had reached level 30 or above. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

In total, they numbered just over two hundred.

As for the third-test players... even the most dedicated Transforming Ji Gang, who caught the summer activity boost, was still struggling at level twenty-five.

So, players who could explore the new map were ultimately the minority.

This was designed by Eve intentionally.

On one hand, it encouraged low-level players to work hard on leveling up; on the other hand, it maintained stability.

If ten thousand players rushed into the Human World all at once, trouble would arise!

And most players, only through hard work and striving to level up, would have a chance to explore the vast world.

In short, for those who weren’t rich, grinding was the way to become strong.

As for the exploration direction of the new map provided by the official, there were four——

The west and north of the Elf Forest, the Dark Mountain Range, and the Human World.

However, what intrigued and concerned players the most was the Human World.

No other reason, the NPC system of "Elf Kingdom" was too realistic. Interacting with these NPCs was also quite interesting, so it’s normal for players to be curious about the Human World.

Of course, if viewed from a leveling perspective, the Dark Mountain Range and the north of the Elf Forest might be better choices.

Rumors said... some players heard from Divine Favored Zero that there were hidden ruins and monsters in these regions, possibly even Evil God believers, making them highly worthwhile for exploration and adventure.

However, exploring a new map and adventuring to upgrade were two different things.

Even if exploring these areas, players would need to familiarize themselves with the new map first.

And the Human World, being the center of attention, was the most dazzling.

Even Eve herself hadn’t expected the players’ enthusiasm for venturing into the Human World to be so high.

However... she suspected that more people planned to stir up trouble.

After all, the Dark Dwarves had been tormented enough by these lawless folks, with a Dema pyramid selling half the Black Rock City’s residents...

And what would players do when faced with native humans?

In short... the curiosity among players about the Human World grew stronger.

This curiosity and yearning for the Human World reached a peak when another explosive piece of news emerged.

It was said... Cuckoo Bird found specific information from the scriptures, which was later verified by Natural Saintess Alice——

In the newly opened map, an important city in the Human World was originally the capital city of the Elf Clan!

How could that be?

The elves’ royal capital was taken over by humans?

As the great Chosen Ones and as Elf Clan warriors, wouldn’t they have to act for the glory of the Elf Clan and the Goddess?

The royal capital... just thinking about it, it was a place that must trigger a hidden storyline!

Hmm... as the embodiment of love and justice, the great Chosen One warriors naturally needed to sneak in and stir things up.

For a time... many Black Iron Upper players, who had intended to explore the Elf Forest or the Dark Mountain Range first, changed their target.

And those players who had targeted the Human World from the start looked even more forward to it.

Of course, given the increasing penalty of death as levels rose, players still needed to gather intelligence beforehand.

Thus, the elves returning from the Holy Mania Empire became the best sources of information...

In no time, over a hundred Chosen Ones surged into Feilengcui, surrounding the busy elves and startling them.

"Entering the Human World? Things to watch out for?"

Hearing the Chosen Ones, the returning elves straightened their expressions.

"Most importantly, you need to hide your identity and try not to let anyone doubt who you are..."

"Besides, humans are deceitful, so be careful not to be deceived by them."

"Don’t do business with humans! They have dark hearts, and they deceive even their own people!"

Listening to the elves, who had rich experience in infiltrating human society, the players nodded in agreement.

After a round of inquiries, they eagerly prepared to set off.

Thus, in less than a few hours after logging in, over two hundred Black Iron Upper players formed parties, led by the three major first-test guilds, to begin exploring the new map.

The target—the Human World!
