Chapter 53 (1/2)

The players in the pre-OBT formed three unions.

One was created by Li Mu and Demacia. It was called “The Heart of Nature”. More than 180 players were in this union.

Li Mu was the chairman of “The Heart of Nature”. With Li Mu making nothing compulsory for the members, the union was considered pretty lax.

The second union was created by Cuckoo Bird and Little Salty Meow. It was called “The Lovely Committee”. The chairwoman was Little Salty Meow. Nearly half of the members were female players. There were more than fifty members. It was a union that specialized in leisure and life.

They were the main force that constructed the elf town.

The last one was called “The First Army” created by Fried Tomatoes. There were more than forty members. Their aim was to train through battles. They also loved adventures in the wilds. All of them were extremely determined players.

Although Eve did not like Fried Tomatoes, he improved a lot after being warned the last time.

Additionally, this guy was very hard-working. He respected the NPCs and almost all of his party members he led were extremely determined, who repaid Eve considerably.

So Eve was kind enough to forgive him and wait to see his development in the future.

Moreover, although Li Mu was an able person, Eve thought that he was too lazy sometimes. Thus, Eve decided to give him a rival to arouse his potential.

Apart from them, some players didn’t join any union. Among these players, the most famous one was the master of the entire server–Box Meal.

This reserved strong man drew the companionship from a few players and formed an adventuring party that wandered in the wilds every day. His experience points soared drastically. Many players considered him to be a mogul.

Even Li Mu found him amazing.

Nevertheless, compared to killing monsters, Li Mu was more anxious about when he would find something of value in the ruins.

He looked at the time on the screen of the system, pondered for a while, and said to Demacia,

“We will search for another hour. If we still find nothing, we will go back for the time being.”

“Go back? Great!”

Demacia immediately smiled happily.

“Ha ha, I heard that there is a bonfire party tonight in Florence. We can go to the party if we go back early!”

After the first day in the game, the players of The Kingdom of Elves formed the habit of holding bonfire parties regularly.

The forest of elves was so beautiful that people felt that they were camping far away from the secular world while holding evening parties in this virgin forest.

The players ate fruit, barbecued meat while the saint little sister was not on the alert, laughed together, chatted and farted together… They were happy.

A bonfire party?

Li Mu’s eyes lit up.

If he got it right, this evening party was to celebrate the rebuilt temple in Florence.

The previous temple was too badly damaged. In the past two days, Cuckoo Bird was engaged in repairing the temple with her construction team. It was said that this was also one of the tasks given by the goddess.

With it being almost repaired, people now could worship the statue of the goddess there.

Thinking of this, he nodded

“Eh, we will go back an hour later. And we will ask Alice along the way to see whether we can obtain any information about Florence from her.”

Saying so, Li Mu pushed away a piece of rubble and continued to explore.

“Alice!”

Demacia’s eyes lit up and he suddenly looked mysterious.

He went near Li Mu’s ear, chuckled and said,

“Brother Mu, we have played the game for a long time. Have you discovered the punishment mechanism of the game?”

On hearing Demacia, Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said,

“This game is highly realistic. If you behave according to the principles in reality, you won’t be punished in general.”

Saying so, he glanced at Demacia in surprise.

“Did you make trouble again?”

“No no…”

Demacia smiled awkwardly and then said,

“After the red-name alert, I was curious about the punishment mechanism and had a try on a few players privately.”

“A try?”

“Yes. Just the red-name mechanism! We had a try. The mechanism seems to judge whether one should get a red name based on the player’s “malice” and the degree of the harm he has done to another player. The player can use his contribution points to cancel his red-name state. And there should be different degrees of punishment. We concluded that the punishment of killing a person might be very severe. The killer’s account might even be banned…”

Demacia said.

“Like this… So severe?”

Li Mu recounted his memory and found it incredible.

He remembered that two days ago he read that Demacia had become a red-name player in a system message. But soon afterwards another system message read that he had repented. It turned out to be like this…

This guy had too much time to kill.

Li Mu found it annoying yet amusing.

However, if Li Mu behaved as before, he would have been looking for bugs everywhere like Demacia.

Now, as the game developed, Li Mu liked the game increasingly more. Gradually, he forgot things like looking for bugs.
