Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1083 - 732: Development of the Elf Force

Chosen City, circular duel arena.

The seats around were filled with spectators, both players and elves, their cheers like a tidal wave.

Five silver players, equipment still stained with blood, stood on the podium, excitedly waving at the audience.

Inside the duel arena, there was blood, cracks, and rubble... a complete mess.

Mages and elves responsible for maintaining the arena stepped onto the field, chanting spells to repair the damage caused by player duels.

At this moment, the effect of magic was prominently displayed.

Amidst a glow, it didn’t take long for the severely damaged arena to gradually recover, returning to its original intact state.

Meanwhile, accompanied by two elf staff members, Eve, cloaked in the Divine Favored Zero mask, stepped onto the field.

In an instant, the entire venue burst into a climax of noise:

"Wow! It’s the Boss Lady! Did the hosts really manage to invite her over? Which guild is in charge this time?"

"Heard it’s the Heart of Nature..."

"Makes sense, Brother Mu’s connections among NPCs are impressive... even managed to invite the Boss Lady!"

"The Boss Lady is a purple NPC, I really want to increase her favorability..."

"It’s tough, the Boss Lady is elusive, almost no one can reach her except Saintess Alice."

"Ha, is it harder than Aurora though? She’s truly the elusive one."

"True..."

Players were buzzing with discussion.

For these creatures from Blue Star, looks are justice, and NPC template colors are truth.

And as someone whose looks match Serenadil and whose level is a Demigod, with an extremely rare golden NPC template like Aurora, it was natural for her to be pursued by players after her return.

Her popularity quickly overtook Eve’s mask, which was expected.

As a gentle elf demigod, Aurora was naturally very friendly to players and willing to interact with them.

Thus, shortly after her return, her popularity exploded further.

In no time, a huge influx of players crowded into Milovia, embarking on a journey of fawning admiration.

But success comes with gentleness, and defeat as well.

Even Aurora herself might not have realized just how audacious players could be.

Give them a little sunshine, and they shine; give them a bit of river, and they overflow.

Using this saying to describe them couldn’t be more apt.

Taking advantage is in players’ nature; seeing Aurora’s approachability and easy-going nature, more people swarmed into Milovia, trying everything to get closer to her...

Finding her during the day, seeking her at night, calling on her during prayers, even during breaks...

As one person left, another entered; and before one departed, the next was already waiting outside.

Eventually, even though Aurora was gentle, she couldn’t take it anymore, decisively utilizing demigod power to seal off parts of the temple, retreating into seclusion.

She only appeared when necessary, becoming an even more low-profile presence than Divine Favored Zero.

In contrast, although Divine Favored Zero was also elusive, at least he often appeared in the storyline, frequently distributing various tasks to players.

It makes sense he constantly held the second-highest popularity NPC spot under the Goddess.

Of course, now Divine Favored Zero was overshadowed by Aurora.

But like when the Elemental Elf first appeared, this is likely temporary.

Ultimately, besides appearances, how much benefit an NPC can bring to players is also a key factor in determining popularity.

In this aspect, the only one who could surpass Divine Favored Zero would probably be the embodiment of the World Tree, Eve Goddess.

As the central figure in the game’s storyline, Eve Goddess possesses unparalleled beauty and overwhelming power, making her undeniably the most popular NPC in "Elf Kingdom."

Her reputation and image on the Blue Star Network, for various reasons, has even spread wider than the game "Elf Kingdom" itself...

Especially after the release of this open beta, it once again exploded, reaching a new peak.

Though it hasn’t reached the level of universal recognition, for young people, it’s undoubtedly one of the most classic and popular elements in recent years.

"I’m going to protect the Goddess."

"Sorry, I can’t afford to protect the World Tree anymore."

"Praise nature, praise life, praise the great Eve!"

"For the glory of the Goddess and Elves!"

"Long live the Goddess!"

Similar sayings are common in chat groups, on live streams, and in posts across major forums.

As for the expression packs and dynamic images of the Goddess, and other things...

Uh...

Better not to mention those.

Thinking further, Eve feared she’d again be tempted to reduce Dema’s prize-winning odds.

Of course, regarding her rising popularity on Blue Star, Eve remained generally unaware and uninterested.

After all, regardless of how many people adore her on Blue Star, without offering faith, it’s pointless.

Unlike believers in Segis World, most people on Blue Star merely follow trends; the better ones covet her looks and persona.

As a pragmatist, Eve preferred interacting with those who could provide her with faith power and the little players in the game.

This time, accepting Li Mu’s invitation as a duel event award presenter was for the same reason.

She had high hopes for the arena players had established.
