Looking at the system prompts flashing across his vision, and the red-named player positions marked on the system’s mini-map, Li Mu had a peculiar expression on his face.
He sighed and said,
“See… this game does have a punishment mechanism. Why bother… It was hard enough to advance to Black Iron, with ten thousand experience and two hundred contribution points…”
Fried Tomato: …
“Moreover, just as you were striking me, I also took the opportunity to turn on the recording function. I think… you should also know the consequences of continuing, right?”
...
Li Mu pointed to his system interface, and said leisurely.
Fried Tomato: …
His expression became increasingly ugly.
At this point, he found himself in a situation where trying to steal a chicken resulted in losing the rice instead…
Seeing the constipated expression on Fried Tomato’s face from Li Mu’s perspective, Eve shook her head.
*Wouldn’t it be better to be an obedient little leek? Why insist on taking shortcuts…*
*Each Chosen One consumed her power, and she wouldn’t allow these players to recklessly infight!*
But, as a Goddess who advocated truth, goodness, and beauty, she naturally wouldn’t forget to give those errant children a chance to atone for their mistakes.
Just as Fried Tomato was dumbfounded by the unexpected system information prompt, a new choice box appeared in his vision…
[Ding—]
[The great Goddess is merciful, she will forgive those sinners who repent and reflect. As a Chosen One selected by her, considering the minor nature of the offense, she is willing to listen to your plea,]
[Option A: The great and merciful Goddess is right, I will repent for my sins. (Deduct 200 contribution points, return all plundered items under the beginner red-name status, cancel red-name status)]
[Option B: Although I respect the great Goddess, I do not regret my choice! (Deduct 100 contribution points, maintain beginner red-name status)]
Fried Tomato: …
His expression almost twisted.
But… was there really a choice?
*In the end, players were creatures that pursued benefit and avoided harm…*
Fried Tomato took a deep breath, and then, under Li Mu’s surprised gaze, gritted his teeth and said,
“The great and merciful Goddess is right, I will repent for my sins.”
[Ding—]
[Player “Fried Tomato” chose to repent, deducting 200 contribution points and canceling the player’s beginner red-name status]
In an instant, a message swept across all players’ game systems once more.
Meanwhile, in Li Mu’s vision appeared an additional message, [You received compensation from player “Fried Tomato,” Contribution Points +100]…
Li Mu: …
Fried Tomato glared at him resentfully, then snorted coldly, picked up his wooden sword, and disappeared into the forest.
Seeing the other party give up on the ambush, Li Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, and began to use healing magic to treat his injuries.
Watching from behind the scenes, Eve nodded in satisfaction and then fell into deep thought,
“Although this issue has been resolved, suppressing the players like this is not a solution. They will inevitably have internal conflicts, and sometimes internal conflicts need to be solved by a fight…”
“It seems it’s time to put the PK system on the agenda.”
PK, or sparring and challenging, was a common gameplay mechanic in MMO-RPG online games, and many players were very passionate about it.
In fact, quite a few players played online games just to engage in PK!
Or to battle other players!
These players were generally known as PVP players.
Eve naturally considered adding this feature to the game system, after all, this feature not only increased player enthusiasm but also trained their combat skills.
Her current plan was to provide players with two PK modes.
One was real combat PK, that is, allowing players to engage in face-to-face combat, life and death notwithstanding.
This mode would require players to consume contribution points to initiate, and the contribution points consumed would increase as players leveled up.
After all, Eve’s reviving of players also consumed resources. And as players’ levels increased, the damage from their fights to the environment would also become more severe.
Imagine a day when players with legendary power surfaced among them—a real combat session between two of these players could destroy half of the Elf Forest…
The other PK mode, however, was virtual PK. Eve simulated a scene in her consciousness space and pulled the player’s consciousness in, allowing them to go wild.

This mode wouldn’t require contribution points; players just needed to pray to Eve, and she would respond. This mode only required her to pre-construct some scenes and set up corresponding response programs in the game system.
With these thoughts, Eve had already decided to officially launch the PK feature to players once this mission was completed.
Having more Divine Power, she could also sustain more consumption.
After all, players were like leeks, but at the same time, they were also the patrons.
If Eve wanted them to work hard, assist her recovery, and help the Elf Clan regain glory, she naturally had to satisfy their entertainment needs as well.
Yeah, Eve thought her MMO was quite generous, requiring no payment and not too much grinding.
A top-tier weapon like the Golden Legend was only priced at 64,800 contribution points, and solo farming 1,296 goblins would suffice.
…
And with no player ambushes and his injuries healed, Li Mu successfully returned to the teleportation array.
He used a “Whisper of Nature,” and soon found the Oak Guardian snoring while napping nearby.
Players had long known that NPCs also needed to sleep.
Moreover, according to Demacia, NPCs needed to wash, eat… and so on, just like players.
But when Li Mu asked how he knew, the guy stammered and couldn’t explain clearly.
However, lately, Saintess Alice seemed to be even more indifferent to Demacia.
Ahem.
This game’s level of realism was almost insane, to the point where Li Mu sometimes wondered if this game was made by aliens.
Standing in front of the Oak Guardian, he hesitated for a moment and decided to wake the other up.
Li Mu really didn’t want to keep holding onto these 26 scorching Divine Blood Crystals any longer.
He poked Bajaka’s wooden beard and cautiously said,
“Sir Bajaka? Sir Bajaka?”
The giant Tree-man rolled over and continued sleeping.
Li Mu: …
“Sir Bajaka!”
He shouted again.
The Tree-man smacked his lips, without any reaction.
Li Mu: …
This guy slept like a log…
He pondered for a moment, plucked a section of twig with leaves and thorns, and poked it forcefully into the Tree-man’s nostrils.
Feeling the tickle in his nose, Bajaka shook himself and then let out a huge sneeze.
In a daze, the Oak Guardian woke from his slumber. Upon seeing the smiling visitor, he frowned,
“Chosen One, why did you disturb my sleep?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu with surprise,
“Huh? Already at Black Iron?”
This group of Chosen Ones advanced so quickly!
The Oak Guardian found it somewhat unbelievable.
Li Mu smiled modestly and said,
“All thanks to the Goddess’s blessing… Excuse me for disturbing you, I am here to deliver the Divine Blood Crystals to you.”
Divine Blood Crystals?
Bajaka’s spirit lifted, and he stood up quickly.
This concerned the recovery of the Mother Goddess, the most important of tasks!
In an instant, he no longer cared about being disturbed from his sleep by Li Mu.
“How many?”
Bajaka’s voice carried a hint of anticipation, and his bright eyes looked eagerly at Li Mu.
Li Mu opened his palm, where a total of 26 shimmering crystals of natural radiance lay quietly.
“A total of 26 pieces.”
Twenty-six pieces!
Bajaka’s eyes widened, and he involuntarily took a deep breath, somewhat incredulous.
“By the Mother Goddess! So many!”
After speaking, he looked at Li Mu with eyes full of admiration and satisfaction,
“You have done well!”
He carefully received the Divine Blood Crystals from Li Mu, as if he were accepting the most precious treasures in the world.
And after handing over the Divine Blood Crystals to Bajaka, Li Mu suddenly had a thought and continued speaking,
“Sir Bajaka, actually… I have one more thing.”
“Hmm?”
Bajaka gave him a puzzled look.
Li Mu curled the corner of his mouth, and earnestly said,
“It’s like this: unless something unexpected happens, tonight we can eliminate all the goblins occupying Feilengcui, and the Elf Clan will successfully reclaim their former Holy City.”
“You can eliminate all the goblins tonight?!”
Bajaka was even more astonished.
He had slept from evening until now, unaware of the players’ advancement and class transitions, hence unaware of their power changes.
Li Mu nodded, then recalled the NPCs’ prayer ceremony, drawing a tree-shaped symbol of the Mother Nature on his chest. He straightened up, with a solemn and serious demeanor, said,
“We wish to invite you and Lord Alice to participate in the ceremony for establishing a stable teleportation array in the Holy City of Feilengcui!”
