Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 320 - 303: Of course, it’s time to stir up trouble!
Chapter 320: Chapter 303: Of course, it’s time to stir up trouble!
"A new hidden mission!"
Seeing the system message appearing in their field of vision, everyone was delighted.
"Personal reputation evaluation! Completing the mission will also increase personal reputation evaluation!"
Looking at the last line of the mission reward, Hu Lu’s eyes instantly lit up.
As a long-time member of the field battle party, he didn’t do many missions.
As a result, Hu Lu didn’t have many interactions with NPCs. Most of the time, he would only manage to gain some face in front of Nightingale thanks to Boxed Lunch.
In this situation, his personal reputation evaluation was just at the average level of the whole server.
So... at this moment, seeing that reward, his eyes were glued to it.
It wasn’t just Hu Lu.
Boxed Lunch was also moved.
As the squad leader, his reputation evaluation wasn’t much better than Hu Lu’s either.
And at this moment, other first-time test players, also watching the few people’s actions via Little Xian Miao’s live stream, were already getting excited.
*"Oh, come on... Personal comprehensive reputation evaluation? Why don’t I ever run into such good missions?"*
*"Luck King ah! Seriously, Luck King! 1 point of reputation evaluation can increase the experience and contribution acquisition rate by 1%! This is a long-term gain!"*
*"Jealousy... I don’t know what to say except jealousy..."*
The video’s bullet screen was filled with envy.
Little Xian Miao was also excited, looking curiously at the half-moon-shaped light group floating in mid-air:
"The rewards this time are so generous! What exactly is the thing on the pyramid?"
And Cuckoo Bird, carefully observing the Life Scepter fragment wrapped in light in mid-air, said uncertainly:
"This mission actually involves the Goddess. It might very well be the Divine Artifact mentioned earlier."
*Hmm? She actually guessed it?*
Eve glanced at her in surprise.
"Divine Artifact?"
Little Xian Miao looked puzzled.
"Yes, Miao Miao, do you remember that video on the official forum before? The one with the fight between the Goddess and Uller."
Cuckoo Bird typed in the chat channel.
"Plot? Oh! I remember! It’s the one where the Goddess used tentacles to brutally beat the silly god!"
Little Xian Miao suddenly understood.
Tent... tentacles...
Beside her, Eve twitched her mouth, pondering whether she should change the way she attacked and controlled enemies...
"Exactly."
Cuckoo Bird replied with an approving emoji.
Seemingly having thought of something, Little Xian Miao’s eyes lit up:
"I get it! It has to be like this! There’s no plot in the game without a reason. Since the Goddess’s Divine Artifact was mentioned, there must be a mission for us to assist the Goddess in finding her Divine Artifact! And now it involves the Goddess and specifically mentions an item related to her, it’s very likely the Divine Artifact!"
"And moreover..."
Little Xian Miao looked at the light group in mid-air, eyes shining:
"I seem to sense a familiar aura, like it belongs to life... This surely is related to the Goddess!"
Seeing her analysis, others nodded in agreement.
"So... what should we do?"
Hu Lu asked in the channel.
"Pray! As per the mission hint, try praying to the Goddess first!"
Little Xian Miao replied.
"Uh... how should we pray?"
Hu Lu asked again.
Little Xian Miao sent a disdainful emoji, replying:
"Clearly, you don’t do missions often. Of course, it’s ’Praise nature, praise life, praise the great Elf Master—Eve Yuktarashil’!"
All player communication was conducted in the chat channel.
Outside, they still appeared to be praying devoutly.
Nidhogg’s prayer time wasn’t short, so they had time to stay here for now.
And seeing Little Xian Miao’s analysis, the few of them were also moved, starting to pray to the Goddess in their hearts...
"Praise nature, praise life, praise the great Elf Master—Eve Yuktarashil!"
They earnestly recited in their hearts.
*Hmm...*
*At least they believed they were earnest.*
Through the mental connection with the players, sensing their call, Eve once again used her authority.
She tweaked the game system, temporarily blacking out the players’ true vision and other senses, presenting them with new visions through the game network...
For a moment, Little Xian Miao and the others felt their vision flicker slightly, with an inexplicable kind of change occurring within it.
The surrounding gradually became hazy, and they vaguely saw a magnificent temple before them.
At that moment, they felt as though they traveled across space and time.
The temple was resplendent with stars, and at its center throne, sat a solemn and divine figure.
Her entire body was shrouded in light, but they could vaguely make out the splendid Divine Dress, long familiar to countless players, and the perfect visage that many gamers would willingly idolize.
The incarnation of the World Tree—the Goddess Eve Yggdrasil.
This widely acknowledged top NPC of "Elf Kingdom," the leader of the players’ faction, once again appeared before them...
At this moment, other players, also seeing the visual change through Little Xian Miao’s perspective, were excited too:
"Oh wow! Goddess!"
"The Goddess actually appeared!"
"It’s been so long since we last saw the Goddess, really missed her..."
"prprprpr..."
Then they heard that familiar voice, charming and ethereal, which had been circulated on the internet for ages without anyone figuring out which divine voice actor had done the dubbing:
"Brave Chosen Ones, I have received your prayers..."
"What you see is indeed my True Divine Artifact."
"If you can help me recover it, I can grant you one wish."
"When you are ready, call my name again..."
The screen ended there.
Their vision returned to the underground stone hall.
However, at this moment, the few players were even more excited.
*"Whoa! It really is a Divine Artifact! And it looks like there are extra rewards from the Goddess for completing the mission! This task has to be completed!"*
Hu Lu excitedly typed in the chat channel.
"Yes! It must be completed!"
Little Xian Miao clenched her small fists, her originally feigned intense prayer expression now genuinely ignited with excitement.
Seeing her correct judgment, Cuckoo Bird also felt pleased but quickly focused her attention on the next step of the mission:
"According to the other two mission tips, to complete this task, we must attract external interference with the Despair Church, creating an opportunity for the Goddess. And this external force... according to the hint..."
"Is the Eternal Church."
Boxed Lunch’s eyes sparkled as he typed in the chat channel.
"But... how do we seek external forces from the Eternal Church? It’s the enemy of the Goddess."
Cuckoo Bird furrowed her brows.
"Of course, we go make trouble!"
At this moment, Demacia’s loud voice suddenly rang out in voice chat, startling the players.
"Demacia? Who let you in?"
Little Xian Miao sent a dismissive emoji.
"It was me."
The usually silent Feng suddenly typed.
"Sister Feng?"
Little Xian Miao was quite surprised.
"Hey! That’s right! Boss Feng invited me! Boss Miao, this mission is no longer just yours! It’s ours too! I’m best at causing trouble! Share the mission, and we’ll collect the rewards together!"
Demacia typed proudly in the group.
"You? What are you planning?"
The other players were all vigilant.
And Demacia cheekily replied:
"Simple! I just privately discussed it with Boss Feng. According to ’Elf Kingdom’s’ setting, True Gods’ dignity cannot be desecrated. In that case, go to the Eternal Church and desecrate their idol!"
"Moreover... this time we’ve managed to associate ourselves with the Despair Church. When the time comes, shout out, and someone else will take the blame. Isn’t it wonderful?!"
He typed mischievously.
Seeing Demacia’s message, the other players exchanged glances.
This guy...
He really seemed quite suitable for this kind of work.
