Chapter 60: Newbie Village Completed!

The time spent gaming always flies by.

Under the temptation of equipment and leveling up, the beta testers also erupted with unprecedented passion.

One by one, many players accumulated enough contribution points and got their hands on the equipment they had dreamed of.

What surprised Eve the most was that the few sets of golden legendary equipment she had listed were quickly redeemed.

Not only that, those golden legendary equipment were all exchanged by one person.

Eve was quite familiar with the nickname, called Little Xian Miao, the chairperson of the Mengmeng Committee.

This female player is a Mage, fond of the Fireball Technique, pity that she always misses her target, Eve had a lasting impression of her...

After paying a little attention, Eve realized that right after the golden legendary Mage equipment was listed, this girl started collecting contribution points like it was not costing money...

Some players counted, to acquire contribution points, she had at least spent two to three hundred thousand...

"Such a tycoon..." Eve couldn't help but sigh, while remembering her impoverished days on Blue Star.

In this world, is there really any genuinely balanced online game?

Can you get strong without spending money?

Err... except for games from certain pig farms.

And after one month of reclaiming the Holy City of Feilengcui, the construction work of Elf Town was finally completed.

At this moment, this player base under the World Tree already had quite a scale, though without city walls, it had become a rather charming small city.

Not only that, due to players' interests, this town was different from traditional elven architecture and was filled with various European, Chinese, Japanese, and even Arabian classical buildings from Blue Star.

Several players specialized in landscape gardening and civil engineering exerted their expertise to the fullest, and these buildings with different styles gathered together without looking abrupt. Instead, they offered a unique charm.

Between the buildings, there were exquisite gardens and various green belts, interwoven and alternating, making the whole town seem to sit in an ocean of green leaves and flowers, which was also a reflection of the elves' "nature."

It is said that to design the architecture and landscape of the town, players even posted bounties on Blue Star and consulted many industry giants.

The final result was that the base, which Eve merely wanted players to build casually and be just livable, was turned into something more and more delicate and beautiful under the boost of magic.

Among these, the construction team led by Gugu Bird contributed the most.

It is said that her dream was to build a town that collected styles from all over the world. She never expected to get this opportunity in a game.

This made Eve seriously wonder if some players she had selected were hardcore fans of "Minecraft" and "SimCity"...

Not only that, players also left room for expansion when designing the town for future outward expansion.

According to Gugu Bird, that was for other players in the future.

And when the town was finally completed, Eve was amazed.

"If these players are given the chance to restore Yuanming Garden, they will surely do it beautifully."

At this moment, looking at Elf Town that seemed like a masterpiece of gardening, Eve couldn't help but express her admiration.

Even Alice and Berserker were stunned by the craftsmanship of the Chosen Ones.

"Mother Goddess above... These Chosen Ones must be the finest craftsmen in their world!"

Alice couldn't help but earnestly praise the delicate and exquisite garden landscapes.

And all the beta testers gathered in the square of Elf Town.

The central square was spacious, easily accommodating three hundred players.

In Eve's eyes, even three thousand people could definitely fit in.

Today was a special day, Elf Town was completely finished, and Gugu Bird had posted an invitation on the official forums in advance, inviting all beta testers to participate in the town's grand opening ceremony.

Although the players' construction crews were the main force in building the town, all three hundred people had contributed to the process, so the town could also be said to be the crystallization of the efforts of all players.

Not only that, their homes in the game were also here; each person had a delicate house and an attached small garden.

This place was their homeland in Segis World!

Since the opening of "Elf Kingdom," not a single one of the three hundred players had left the game, which was a miracle in the gaming world.

Moreover, based on Blue Star's time, the average daily online time of the beta testers even reached over twelve hours!

It has to be said… this was a terrifying statistic, enough to illustrate the stickiness of the players of "Elf Kingdom."

Of course, one reason for the long online time was that the players' physical bodies on Blue Star would fall asleep after entering the game.

Because of this mechanism, many players chose to log in during Blue Star's nighttime, where their physical bodies were in dreams, but their consciousness was in the game...

Apart from some initial discomfort and potential psychological fatigue from prolonged gaming, they could completely convert their sleeping time into gaming time!

This completely satisfied many working players.

Over these days, they have truly begun to regard this place as the second chapter of their lives!

And at this moment, the players gathered in the square were all excited.

In the center of the square, next to the Teleportation Array connected to the World Tree's spawn point for players, a solemn Stele stood.

That was a natural boulder found in the Elf Forest by the players, carefully polished by them.

Engraved on the Stele, from top to bottom, were dense characters.

That was Chinese.

And the content was a list of names!

These are the nicknames of three hundred beta testers, the names of those who participated in the building of this Elf Town!

Gugubird, Li Mu, Demacia, Boxed Lunch, Little Xian Miao, and so on... all included.

Below the names, the planning of Elf Town, the players' vision, their construction process, and the completion date of Elf Town are introduced.

This stele was proposed by Eve through Alice, and received unanimous approval from the players.

From now on, this stele will accompany the growth of Elf Town and become a beautiful landscape in the Elf Kingdom.

Every arriving player, upon coming to the town, will witness this stele and learn about the pioneering efforts of the beta testers.

And as the elven civilization revives, this stele that records the first arrival of the Chosen One will surely feature in the songs of minstrels, passed down through generations, eventually becoming an ancient myth and legend...

Here begins the epic of elven history!

Players gathered excitedly in the square, sitting together.

Alice and Berserker were also invited by them to the square.

Gugubird handed a small knife to the elf girl wearing the dignified Holy Maiden Clothes, and respectfully said:

"Miss Alice, please do the ribbon cutting for our town!"

With that, she pointed to the stele.

The ribbons, wrapped around the stele by the players, were made from a variety of flowers and plants from the forest, in place of the red ribbons from planet Earth.

Alice, already informed by the players, knew that ribbon cutting is a ceremony from the Chosen One's homeland, so she took it very seriously.

Watching the sincere smiles of the Chosen Ones, her heart was also filled with emotion:

"Though there have been stumbling blocks... they are gradually integrating into this world!"

Taking a deep breath, Alice revealed a sweet smile and cut the ribbon wrapped around the stele in front of three hundred witnesses.

"Congratulations... Chosen Ones, you have established your own homeland!"

She exclaimed with sincere congratulations.

"May Mother Nature always be with you!"

Following Alice's blessing, the players erupted in cheers.

Mages who were ready began to release Fireball and other explosive magic into the sky, like fireworks...

Everything was festive.

And while the players cheered, suddenly, a grand and holy radiance descended from the sky...

Countless dazzling photons sprinkled down like rain, dreamy and fantastic.

The stele then shone with a bright light, with all the engraved words turning into sacred gold.

Ethereal hymns sounded, pure and vast, cleansing everyone's spirit.

"A Divine Miracle! It's a Divine Miracle!"

Witnessing this sudden change, Alice was pleasantly surprised.

She turned towards the World Tree, drawing the symbol of Mother Nature over her chest, and happily said:

"It's the Mother Goddess! The Mother Goddess is also sending you her blessings!"

The players glanced at each other, eyes lighting up.

Not knowing who started it, suddenly someone shouted loudly:

"Praise Mother Nature, praise the Goddess of Life, praise the great elven sovereign—Eve Yoctrahill!"

Then came even more fervent responses...

Many players raised their weapons high, making a racket, shouting excitedly:

"Praise Mother Nature, praise the Goddess of Life, praise the great elven sovereign—Eve Yoctrahill!"

But as they shouted, the content went astray...

"Goddess, I will strive for the rise of the elves, please bless me with an epic tome in the new version!"

"Me too! Me too! May the new version bless me with triggering a hidden storyline!"

"And me! Please bless me with finding golden legendary gear!"

"Praise Nature! Grant me a beta tester sister for the second internal testing!"

"..."

Alice: ...

Berserker: ...

High in the sky.

Eve, who had mostly repaired the Soul Storage Orb, was also very content watching the lively town square.

As for the players' varied "metaphysical" prayers, She had already ignored them.

On the World Tree, hundreds of humanoid "cocoons" had formed, inside which matured elven bodies lay dormant.

Eve toyed with the Soul Storage Orb for a while, then placed it into one of the "cocoons."

The second beta testing was about to begin.

At this moment, She was full of anticipation for the future!
