Game of the World Tree

Blue Star, San Francisco.

In the office where people came and went, a man with a cigarette looked at the time on his watch and threw half of his coffee into the trash can.

He whistled, looked at his companion who was still working beside him, and patted his shoulder lightly:

"Hey Tony, any plans for this weekend? I recently bought a new rod, do you want to try it out at the lake tomorrow?"

Tony is a young man in his thirties, tall and thin, with messy dark brown curly hair, dark circles under his eyes that stay up all night, and a high nose bridge inherited from his father, which makes him always look like a melancholy temperament.

Hearing the words of his old friend, he saved the unfinished work, gently closed the computer, and shook his head:

"No, Hand, I already have plans for this weekend."

"Is there an arrangement? Is there any new virtual game released?"

Hand raised his eyebrows slightly, shoved the cigarette butt into the ashtray and sipped, and asked curiously.

"Almost, have you heard of "Even Kingdom"?"

Tonillo asked expectantly.

"Nation of the Elf? A little familiar... hell, why do I feel familiar with a name that sounds like an old-time antique? It must be that I drank too much whisky yesterday!"

Hand shook his head.

"No, Hand, you should have heard of it. This is the virtual game that exploded on YouTube last year."

Tony continued.

"Explosive virtual games? Heh... so, I seem to have some impressions, which company? Hmm... I think it's from Europe?"

Hand relit a cigarette for himself, and asked one after another.

"No, it's Heaven."

Offline shook his head.

"Heaven... Celestial Dynasty? Hell, when did the Celestial Dynasty ever have a virtual game that could catch your eye?"

Hand's eyes widened, and the cigarette in his hand almost fell to the ground.

But soon, he suddenly realized, and stood up from his seat in an instant:

"Oh, God, I remembered it! It's the game video released by the students who studied in China last year on YouTube! The one that feels a bit like "The Lord of the Rings"!"

"Yeah, that's it."

Tony smiled.

"Huh? But... I remember that the game seems to be only open in the Celestial Dynasty, right?"

Hand frowned.

"That was before. The international server was opened as early as the beginning of the year, but the number of places has always been limited, and few people have grabbed the qualifications."

Tony explained.

Hand looked at his old friend in surprise, and said:

"So, you got the spot now?"

"Of course! I'm going to start my adventure in the beautiful "Elf Country" this weekend! You don't know, I've been looking forward to this day for more than two years!"

Tony said smugly.

"You guy, once you have any fun games, you will stay at home and not come out... I really don't know how Jennifer can bear you."

Hand shook his head and said.

However, after listening to his words, Tony's expression darkened and he sighed slightly:

"Don't mention her."

"What's wrong? We broke up again?"

Hand was stunned.

Tony shrugged, acquiescence.

Hand: ...

"Damn it! Tony, you'd better play less games, if you still want to continue to have girlfriends..."

Hand let out a smoke ring and shook his head slightly.

"How do you know it's because of the game?"

Tony looked surprised.

However, what greeted him was just a blank eye from his friend:

"Come on, Tony, of course it's because your first few girlfriends broke up because of the game!"

"No, Hand, you are prejudice! To be honest, I just figured it out now, how can a girlfriend be interesting in games? As long as there is "Elf Kingdom" to play, I am willing to die without a girlfriend!"

"You...you're helpless."

"No, you don't understand, it's called fun, it's called life!"

The two chatted while packing their things and getting off work.

"Not tomorrow, how about a couple of drinks at the bar tonight?"

Hand asked again.

"Sorry, Hand, I'm going to review the history of "Even Kingdom" tonight. It is said that it is very important for this game to understand the history of the game. I have to do some homework in advance."

Tony shook his head.

"Okay... It seems that I can only invite you next time. I hope you can come out of the game before closing the fishing."

Hand sighed and said.

"Then it depends on whether I am having fun or not."

Tony smiled.

"Shit!"

Hand laughed and cursed, then got into his car.

"Go, have a nice weekend! Bro."

He said to his friend.

"You too, brother."

Tony waved his hand.

After saying goodbye, Hand started the engine and drove away.

And after Tony watched the other party leave, he also got on his motorcycle and galloped away in the other direction...

Unlike his old friends who live in the suburbs, Tony's apartment is not too far from the unit.

In less than forty minutes, he was back home, and he bought a dinner on the way.

After skillfully taking out the milk from the refrigerator and wiping out the packed sandwiches, he couldn't wait to get into the stealth cabin.

After looking at the time, there were still a few hours before the quota came into effect. He did not hesitate to log on to the official website of the English version of "Elf Nation", and carefully browse the history recorded in the game...

Speaking of history, in fact, it is only nine years in the game.

Among them, the first eight years and the ninth year are clearly divided into two eras, or two versions.

In the first eight years of the history of "Nation of the Elf", Tony watched the commentary videos on YouTube a lot.

Probably from 1066 to 1073 of the Eternal Era, the world tree of the goddess Eve, the leader of the game's faction, revived on a seat and continued to grow with the help of players.

In the ninth year, the goddess Eve defeated the enemy and became the strongest god in the entire game, and the real mastermind behind the entire universe officially appeared...

The Eternal Era ends, and the Dawn Era begins.

It is said that the new plot is to fight the planes, purify the pollution left by the black hands behind the scenes on various planes, build altars on the planes, perform rituals to integrate with the world tree, and prepare for the goddess's detachment.

The international service was also opened at this time.

The time to surf the web is always fast.

After Tony went through the history of "Even Kingdom" with relish, the time in the sneak pod also pointed to twelve o'clock midnight.

This time is also twelve o'clock in the morning of the imperial capital of the Celestial Dynasty.

A new wave of player quotas for "Elf Kingdom" has officially opened.

Tony regained his energy, and quickly opened the "Elf Kingdom" that had been prepared, and entered the game.

[Character detection... No character detected...]

[Enter the character creation interface...]

Pieces of system messages flashed across the field of vision, and Tony came to the character creation interface with a sense of weightlessness as if he were in an elevator.

There is one and only one character creation in "Even Kingdom", and that is the elves.

The elves are divided into seven tribes: Moonlight, Blast, Frost, Shadow, Thunder, Rocksand, and Flame. Players can choose one of the other six tribes except the Moonlight tribe, or set them freely.

Tony didn't hesitate and chose the rock sand tribe.

There is no him, because his hair color in the real world is exactly the same as that of the Yansha tribe, and it is more intimate.

After choosing a tribe, it took a lot of time for Tony to pinch his face. In the end, he pinched the image of a burly and long-haired wild elf.

As for the name, he simply and rudely named it "Tony".

Then... the loading failed, and the system showed that the name was already registered.

It wasn't until he changed the ID to his full name "Tony Wilson" that the registration was successful.

With everything done, Tony can't wait to choose to start...

The familiar weightlessness came again, and the picture dimmed.

Then, the cutscene starts slowly

The first thing that catches the eye is a dark and dilapidated world.

On the ground, erected one after another majestic altar, and in front of the altar, the elves stood respectfully and prayed continuously...

Bright rays of light erupted on the altar, golden beams of light rose from the sky, the darkness in the sky was dispelled by the rays of light, and the starry sky slowly emerged.

Immediately afterwards, the clouds rolled in the sky, the thunder gradually rose, and there was a rain...

Vibrant vitality appeared on the plane. Under the infiltration of rain, the cracked earth gradually appeared green, and all things grew.

The rain is over, the sun is shining brightly, and the whole world seems to usher in a new life.

The elves stood in front of the altar and burst into cheers...

Then, the picture lifted, and the earth gradually became smaller.

Eventually, the lens leaves the whole world and becomes a leaf.

The leaves grow on the branches, and everywhere on the branches, more leaves grow.

Every leaf seems to have radiance flowing, as if there is a vast world in it.

The camera continues to rise, branches, crowns, trunks...

Gradually, a lush giant tree came into Tony's eyes.

At the same time, the scene around the giant tree gradually became clearer.

It turned out to be the boundless starry sky, and the giant tree stands above the void!

Countless stars slowly revolve around the giant tree. At this moment, the giant tree is like the center of the entire universe...

Seeing this scene, Tony's heart was only shocked.

The faint subtitles appeared in the field of vision, and finally turned into a line of beautiful swash characters:

Kingdom of the Elf: The World Tree

Immediately afterwards, the field of vision suddenly lit up, turning into a vast expanse of white...

The sense of gravity returned, and Tony regained his senses.

At this time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had become an elf!

Then there is the choice of career.

Without hesitation, he chose the power system and received the blessing from the goddess, directly awakening the skills of the two power systems.

Reluctantly looking away from the beautiful and foul Goddess, Tony, who had chosen the role and occupation, gritted his teeth and pressed the "Next" option.

Immediately afterwards, the light in front of him flickered again, the vision darkened, and it turned into an endless starry sky.

A majestic giant tree appeared in sight.

The giant tree exudes a faint light, and it looks a bit illusory, like a projection. On the giant tree, there are four flickering light spots.

One is located at the root, one is located on the taproot, one is located on a leaf on the branch, and the other is located in the void outside the tree...

At the same time, a new line of system prompts appeared in Tony's field of vision:

【Choice of Birthplace】

"Choice of Birthplace..."

Tony moved in his heart and first looked at the brightest spot on the taproot.

After he focused his attention, a beautiful scene appeared in front of him.

It was a dense forest, a bustling city, hidden in the forest.

At the same time, an introduction appeared on the side of the screen

【World of Seggs】

[This is the origin plane of the entire universe, and it is also the world where the Elf Chosen first appeared. As a heavenly fertile land, Seggs is rich and beautiful, culturally splendid, and multi-ethnic. Here, the war has ended, and the entire plane has ushered in a new era full of hope...]

"The world of Seggs?"

Tony's eyes lit up.

He is all too familiar with this world. It can be said that most of the "Elf Kingdom" videos on YouTube in the past two years revolved around this world.

Not only that, this world is also a transit point for many planes, and the "Elf Kingdom" is a well-deserved transportation hub.

However, he didn't really want to choose this world, because this world was the earliest map, and there were too many Celestial players in it.

Although the difficulty of getting started is marked as one star, from the feedback of many international players, the players of the Celestial Dynasty in this world are a bit serious, and there are too few foreign players.

There are pros and cons to being born here.

After thinking about it, he turned his eyes to the leaves on the branches again.

【Mindel World】

[Mindel world is the second plane that was merged by the goddess Eve after the world of Seggs. As an ocean plane, the land of this plane is only a small continent and hundreds of thousands of large continents distributed around the continent. Islands big and small. Mindel is a plane of ruins, and in the depths of the plane, there are ancient ruins that have not been explored...]

"Minder..."

Tony pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

There are not many Celestial players on the Minder plane, the environment is also good, and the marine resources are extremely rich. In addition, it is said that there is a mysterious relic in the depths of the plane, with extremely rich resources, which is very suitable for newcomers to upgrade.

However, this plane is not exciting enough.

As a player who loves fighting, Tony lacks enough interest in exploring ruins or something.

Tony looked at the spot of light at the root again

【Silent World】

[The Silent World was once an abyss world called Silent Wasteland. After becoming the World Tree under the crown of the goddess, it became the third plane to be merged and gained a new life. At the same time, as the abyss plane, there are plane passages leading to the abyss one after another, and it is also a bridgehead against the abyss...]

"A silent world..."

Tony rubbed his chin, recalling information about this spawn...

There is no doubt that the Silent World is much more barren than the Minder World and the Seggs World, but at the same time, the number of players is also small, and there is no competitive pressure.

In addition, as a plane that has just been integrated, it is still recovering and growing. The pollution has been purified, the forest is expanding, and new resources may appear at any time. The potential for development and construction is also great, and there are many opportunities. Popular with international players.

However, there are no aboriginal people in this world, only some remaining demons, which seems to be monotonous.

After thinking for a moment, Tony looked at the last spot of light.

That was the only point of light outside the World Tree.
