Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 954 - 671: You’ll Probably Have to Keep Grinding...
"Yeah, yeah!"
Ye Ye agreed wholeheartedly.
"In that case, I better sign up too. Boss Optimist is a top player among warriors. The registration fee is just a bit pricey..."
Boss Gale looked at his system wallet with a pained expression.
"You get what you pay for! As you said, Boss Optimist needs to support the Golden Dragon... not to mention Box Lunch Boss sometimes guest coaches! That’s Box Lunch Boss! Box Lunch! Sometimes, you’ll even see Miss Nightingale!"
Ye Ye put away his weapons and said.
"Stop kidding! Who doesn’t know committee members get discounts!"
Boss Gale chuckled and scolded.
After speaking, he felt a little regretful:
"It’s a pity, I originally wanted you and Ye Ye to join our guild, but I didn’t expect you’d be lured away."
"Ahem... there’s no choice, Mengmeng Committee offers too much... ’Elf Kingdom’ housing prices are too high. Sister Meow said if we join the Mengmeng Committee, the guild provides housing, so we both came over."
Ye Ye said, a bit embarrassed.
After saying that, he checked the time in the system and asked:
"Is Brother Gale free up next?"
Boss Gale raised an eyebrow:
"Why? Yezi, thinking of buying me a couple of drinks?"
Ye Ye scratched his head shyly:
"Haven’t seen each other for a while, right? How about we call Sister Donut and a few others? Mountain Peak City has lots of good food, and it’s almost evening, tonight’s my treat!"
Boss Gale shook his head:
"Too bad, they’re out having fun in Fengye Territory. They probably won’t be back for a few days."
"Fengye Territory? Isn’t the war there over? Is human civil war happening outside the map? The new map isn’t open yet, right?"
"Yeah, it’s over, but the border earl colluded with the Evil God, right? It’s a done deal, so Fengye Territory is unstable internally too..."
"So they went to be mercenaries? Helping the border earl suppress the rebellion?"
"No... the Evil God collusion is a sure thing, who would dare help except those stubborn players? Aren’t they afraid of losing the Goddess’s favor? It’s obviously about killing bandits and such... lately, the bandits in Fengye Territory are swimming in riches..."
"A society in disarray is like this. I can’t even bear to watch the Fengye Territory videos players post on the forums, it’s too tragic... I wonder if ’Elf Kingdom’ might get banned someday."
"If it were to be banned, ’Elf Kingdom’ would’ve been banned long ago. I have a hunch, maybe the next big storyline isn’t far off, I really miss the grand battles from before! Especially charging in with the BGM playing... battlefield missions are thrilling, but still a bit short on numbers."
The two chatted back and forth, and after checking the sky, Ye Ye said:
"Stop just standing around. If Sister Donut and others can’t make it, so be it. Haven’t seen Brother Gale in so long, let’s have a few drinks today!"
"Hey, drinking underage?"
Boss Gale laughed.
"Isn’t this in-game?"
Ye Ye rolled his eyes.
The two talked while leaving the training field built on the edge of a cliff, entering Mountain Peak City.
Mountain Peak City is a city built on the foothills, with buildings circling the mountains, giving it a unique charm with a sense of layering. Despite being a fortress city, it’s well-greened, with dazzling magical lights along the roads, highlighting the city’s wealth.
Every building in the city is made of stone, blending the stately elegance of elf style with the classic mystery of Blue Star’s western fortresses. The roads are paved with heavy stone slabs, and pedestrians come and go, including various players, some rooted elves, and besides them... you can even see quite a few dwarfs and humans, as well as some odd underground intelligent races.
Most of them are trade caravans from various races.
Following Ye Ye, they arrived at the Black Dragon Bar, run by the Mengmeng Committee, ordered a pint of Elf Fruit Wine, listened to the minstrel play some unknown tune, and watched the bar’s diverse NPCs come and go. Feeling relaxed, Boss Gale couldn’t help but marvel:
"Feels like the number of NPCs from various races is increasing here."
"It’s a famous transit city on the shortest route from the surface to the Underworld in the western part of the continent now, right? I heard Sister Gugu say the city plans to expand, the mining area near the tunnel is already planning a new city, and they’re supposedly building a forging center too."
Ye Ye took a sip of the sweet-sour fruit wine and laughed.
"Boss Little Xian Miao is indeed impressive... back then no one thought building a city here would work, yet she created a metropolis... and it hasn’t even been two years, right?"
Boss Gale was full of admiration.
"Sister Meow indeed has a unique vision."
Ye Ye agreed wholeheartedly.
Seeing the boy’s approving expression, Boss Gale clicked his tongue:
"Sister Meow... tsk, seems like Little Xian Miao admires you! The rumors must be true, they say Little Xian Miao especially idolizes Boss Feng... any player he favors, she also values and finds a way to recruit... she even tried to recruit Brother Can before!"
"Perhaps... but I haven’t seen Senior Feng since then."
Ye Ye was slightly downhearted.
If the techniques taught by Boss Optimist were incredibly useful, then the more Ye Ye trained, the more he realized how sharp Senior Feng’s guidance was.
Being able to become a Silver Warrior and successfully take on the role of a Priest to become a fairly well-known Holy Knight in the guild in such a short time... it was all thanks to Feng’s guidance.
