What was the most unpleasant thing about playing games?
It was that one obviously had just started playing and did not feel as though it had been long, but several hours had already passed and it was time to get offline.
Game time was always the enemy of players.
Did “thought acceleration” mean that players could feel more game time to a certain degree?
Although it was one hour in reality, it would be four hours in the game after thought had been accelerated!
Apart from its excellent promotional film, the reason why The Kingdom of Elves could attract a large number of players was this technology.
Of course, they did not know that it was actually just because the time flow rates were different in the two worlds.
However, in fact, apart from the sparkling “thought acceleration,” the game quality of The Kingdom of Elves was also far beyond the players’ expectations.
It was so real! It was so real indeed! It was entirely different from those crude virtual online games on the market!
It was really like the advertisement that people felt as if they were really there and they came into a real world!
At this moment, all the lucky players taking part in the pre-OBT were full of curiosity and excitement.
300 elves in different shapes were excited, exploring and studying this strange world in their own way…
Some stood in the open and looked at the distant scenery, praising “So high! So beautiful!”…
Some were waving their arms, feeling the same gravity as that in reality, full of surprise in their expressions…
Others pinched their faces while sighing “It is so real!”…
However… there were also abnormal people…
A man with an explosive hairstyle unexpectedly took off his clothes in public… causing many exclamations of “Ah!”
The other players around him laughed and booed…
Even some female players, whose faces turned red, covered their faces while looking towards him curiously with their big watery eyes through the gaps of their fingers…
Nevertheless, this gentleman would obviously be disappointed.
After a few movements, he stripped himself naked, but golden holy light appeared in his key parts and nothing could be seen clearly.
“Damn! It turns out that this game is suitable for people of all ages!”
The gentleman, who stripped himself naked, booed regretfully.
Seeing this in His mind, Eve felt His stomach twitching…
Fortunately, He had prepared the covering holy light. Otherwise, the game would be reported on the blue planet at the start of it.
He did not want to be blocked by the blue planet unilaterally because of impure content!
Glancing at the man who undressed, Eve inwardly remembered him. At the same time, Eve called Saint Alice to give these animals tasks quickly lest they would make mischief again later.
Most of the players He caught this time to exploit were wily old foxes who had been playing online games for a long time.
Eve did not dare to bet on what kind of tricks these players would play.
…
“The elected have arrived!”
In the Temple of Nature.
Perceiving the huge fluctuation of space power, Alice, who had been kneeling before the statue and praying with her eyes closed, instantly opened her eyes. Her emerald eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.
She took the rim of her sacrificial dress and stood up, ready to meet the elected. Meanwhile, Eve’s solemn voice resounded in her mind:
“Alice, help the elected get familiar with this world.”
Somehow, she felt that Mother God’s voice was a little tired.
“It seemed that it cost Mother God much power to summon the elected… Mother God worked so hard for the future of Elves upon awakening. And I cannot let Mother God down!”
Alice’s eyes became more determined as she thought of this. And her faith in nature became stronger.
“Mother God, Alice will never fail you!”
Deeply touched, she bowed slightly towards the statue, stretched out her right hand to draw a tree mark symbolizing the Mother of Nature on her chest, and then hurried to rush to the world tree’s trunk…
As soon as Alice walked out of the temple, she heard bursts of cheers and shouts.
“It’s the elected!”
Her eyes brightening, she tidied herself, patted her face, and sorted out the prepared welcome speech in her head. Then, she walked gracefully toward the voices with a sweet smile on her face.
What on earth were they like as beings to whom Mother God attached such importance?
As Alice walked, her thoughts kept diverging.
As a young girl of less than 300 years old, Alice had great yearning and curiosity for the heroic existence of “the elected.”
At this moment, she had imagined many scenes…
Well, as followers of nature, the elected had to ride holy unicorns, wear gorgeous armor and hold holy swords and staffs with divine blessing like heroes described in the stories…
They had to be really brave, handsome, elegant, modest, noble, mysterious, and powerful!
They had to have iron discipline and faith like the legendary army of nature!
Thinking of this, Alice felt an inexplicable tension.
“Bah, what nonsense are you thinking about… You are a saint of nature! You mustn’t lose the face of Mother God!”
She shook her head hard, swept away all the cranky thoughts in her mind, but accelerated her pace subconsciously.
After lifting a leaf that blocked her sight, Alice finally saw the “heroes” she looked forward to…
On the trunk, hundreds of “the elected” wearing coarse cloth robes and broken wooden armor huddled noisily in a mess.
Some were frolicking. Some were experimenting with magic. Some were digging the bark and pulling the leaves with wooden knives. And some were singing loudly towards a distant place…
What was more exaggerated was that a few naked male elves radiating bright holy light were jumping around among the branches, dazzling people to blindness…
“This bark is a bit strong! I cannot pull it off even with a knife…”
“Where is my equipment? Who stole my equipment?!”
“Hey… Do you guys have to be so excited? Can you still read the instructions for novices carefully?”
“What skills did you guys get?”
“I’m in the Strength System and the goddess gave me Cross Slash and Whirling Hit.”
“The Cross Slash is very handsome!”
“Who knows how to read the minimap?”
“Are there any little sisters to do screenshots together? The scenery is good. I want to send some screenshots to my Wechat circle of friends.”
Of course, on a closer look, in fact, there were only a few dozen players being noisy. Most players were still normally studying the instructions for novices. But even a few dozen people were enough to make the whole picture deviant…
From the perspective of the players, it was not incomprehensible in fact… The only reason was that this game was too real. The players were too surprised and wanted to try everything.
But… things were different for an indigenous elf.
Alice’s smile froze on her face as she saw the mess before her.
“They are… the elected?”
She rubbed her eyes, suspecting that she had hallucinations.
