When he came to the forest, Li Mu felt more deeply about the reality of "Even Kingdom".
The ancient trees are straight, the branches hug each other, and the gray-black bark is covered with dark green moss. The big trees and rattans are entwined, like a large net covered with layers of layers, and the lush grass is as high as a person...
The air has a unique smell of grass and soil, which is extremely fresh and pure.
Occasionally there are birds passing by, and the murmurs are particularly clear, and there are unknown beast calls, which are mysterious and vicissitudes.
Here, it is completely the style of a virgin forest.
Combined with the elf-style scene music that Eve matched to the game system and resounded in the player's consciousness, a dreamy feeling far away from the hustle and bustle couldn't help but rise to Li Mu's heart.
Picking off a branch and tearing off a leaf, looking at the clear outline of the leaf veins and the pale green juice at the wound, Li Mu had to sigh at the meticulousness of the game's production.
"If it wasn't for the game I logged in myself, plus this amazing bgm, I'm afraid I would really think that I had passed through."
He couldn't help feeling emotional.
The live broadcast function has been turned off by him and changed to video recording.
In fact, in the state of "accelerated thinking", he also can't broadcast well.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Mu opened the game system and opened the novice profile:
"The 10-kilometer radius is a safe area for beginners. In this area, you can move freely and collect mission items."
"Ten kilometers away, there may be powerful creatures, and it is best not to die before reaching the rank of 11 black iron..."
"Up to level 10, upgrading through daily tasks is the fastest way. When your experience points reach the standard for promotion to black iron, you can go to the Temple of Nature to change jobs..."
After closing the novice information column, Li Mu looked at the map in the upper right corner of his field of vision.
The map is circular, centered on the World Tree, and currently only shows a radius of ten kilometers, which is also the maximum range that Eve can effectively control. And farther away, there is darkness, waiting for players to explore.
In the forest, the most important thing is the trees.
However, when looking for a suitable target, Li Mu was worried.
Looking at the ancient trees with a diameter of at least one meter above the tree top, Li Mu felt his scalp go numb:
"The tree here is too huge, isn't it? It's better to form a team if I knew earlier."
As far as the eye can see, every tree towers into the sky.
After searching for a long time, he found a reasonable one.
It was a tree more than ten meters high, and its bark was a rare golden color.
"This is... a fir tree?"
Li Mu raised his eyebrows.
As a college dog who has majored in forestry, Li Mu has little research on trees. Although the trees in front of him were slightly different, and the color of the bark was also very strange, it was very similar to the fir in his memory, with little difference.
"Chinese fir is a good building material!"
He was overjoyed and started to act.
He lived in the countryside when he was a child, and his parents were both employees of the forest farm. When he was a teenager, he often worked with his elders, and he was even more familiar with cutting down trees.
Picking up the stone axe he had just made with stones, wood and vines, Li Mu started cutting.
"Crack! Kick!"
The sense of shock in the hands is so real.
With the slashing again and again, Li Mu felt as if he had returned to his youth. It's just that different from that time, the power of this body is lighter and more flexible.
He likes this feeling.
Finally, with a loud "click", the fir shook a few times, and finally fell down.
And at the moment when the tree fell, Li Mu felt as if some kind of power poured into his body, making him feel warm all over.
This is the vitality of cedar. When he chopped down the tree, the improved "war sacrificial" hidden in his body began to function, absorbing part of the vitality of the cedar.
The absorption range of this vitality can be controlled in the game system, up to 100% of the target, but when there is no control, the default spoils cannot be completely destroyed, only about 20% will be absorbed, such as Li Mu this time.
And half of the energy he absorbed was reserved for himself, and the other half was fed back to Eve.
Of course, Eve completely dislikes this vitality now. This function is actually his long-term investment.
The feeling of this kind of energy pouring into the body is very wonderful, Li Mu can't describe it in words, if he really wants to say it, it is "refreshing"!
At the same time, he found that his experience increased slightly, by 10 points.
"You can even level up by cutting down trees!"
Li Mu was overjoyed.
At this moment, he felt that the half hour of labor was worth it.
Wiping the sweat from his head, he shook his head:
"One person is still too slow. For this kind of task, it is best to cooperate with many people."
Using the "Tangling Vine" spell to wrap the felled cedar, Li Mu dragged it back in the direction of the World Tree...
…
The submission point of the quest is a clearing under the world tree, which originally grew a bush and a low meadow.
Here is where Eve plans to let players build a base, and it will also be the starting point of the new elf civilization.
As Li Mu entered the camp, the mysterious and vast bgm in his game system also turned into a cheerful style, which made people feel happy.
When he came here, he found that there were already a lot of players here, and they seemed to have received a cleaning task, cleaning up weeds and shrubs.
There are also some players who seem to have started the second round of missions and are starting to try to team up:
"Is there anyone who is tasked with collecting lumber! Four missing one! A spellcaster who can control will help fix the tree."
"Have you studied architecture? Take the construction task and lack a commander!"
"Is there any logging team that wants members of the strength department? I got Berserk and Whirlwind Slash! Guaranteed to be one size fits all!"
…
After looking around for a while, Li Mu soon saw an NPC girl surrounded by players.
At this moment, Alice is busy, but she seems to be in a good mood, her emerald eyes are shining, pure and lovely.
Li Mu swears that this is definitely the most vivid, lifelike and intelligent NPC he has ever seen!
However, every time she saw the expression on the player's hippy smiling face, Alice's expression became slightly cold again.
After knowing Alice's identity, all players have unlocked the npc favorability system. It's just that for the vast majority of people, the girl's favor is all negative.
Especially male players, it is said that the most exaggerated even reached minus one hundred.
There was no way. The ones who had the biggest impact on her before were these shameless animals. After they met the girl, they were either flirting or being funny, and the impression they left couldn't be worse.
In contrast, female players are much more well-behaved and gentle... Alice's attitude will also be much better.
But even so, Li Mu could feel a slight estrangement between Alice and the player.
Looking at the girl's changing expressions, and noticing the expressions and movements of the player when communicating with Alice, Li Mu thought deeply...
He thought about it, and suddenly his heart moved.
Taking a deep breath, Li Mu dragged the chopped cedar and walked over.
After clearing the mission with a female player, Alice saw Li Mu returning.
Seeing that it was the male Heavenly Chosen who arrived, her expression lightened slightly again.
"Mission completed?"
A sweet voice with a touch of alienation.
Li Mu nodded. He was neither humble nor arrogant. He looked at the girl sincerely, but his voice was full of respect, as if communicating with a real university senior:
"Miss Alice, these are the materials I handed in, please check them."
Looking at the well-mannered male elf in front of her, Alice couldn't help but glance at him more.
Today, this is the first male Heavenly Chosen who can talk to her normally. The others are either cynical and shameless, or daring and wanton.
Although she didn't say it, Alice could clearly feel that those guys always seemed to have an inexplicable sense of superiority when they communicated with her. Looking at her was not like looking at her companion, but a tool, an item.
She disliked this feeling very much, and reminded her of those humans who hunted elves.
However, the thin male elf in front of him was full of sincerity in his eyes.
For a time, the feeling of discomfort in the girl's heart lessened a lot, and her impression of Li Mu was also much better.
Her face was slightly relieved, and she nodded to Li Mu:
"Okay, let me see what you got."
"Please."
Li Mu dragged out the fir.
"Sunshine!"
Alice's eyes lit up.
"This is the best wood! It has a strong light affinity. It is not only the building material for the temple, but also can make a staff! I didn't expect you to find it."
The girl looked at Li Mu with a surprised expression.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with cutting down trees.
In fact, unlike many of Blue Star's literary works and the elves in the game, most of the elves in the continent of Seggs accept moderate logging.
For them, all that needs to be maintained is the ecological balance.
Nature's darling does not mean nature's slave. Although they respect life, unless trees are born with consciousness and souls, they will not be specially protected.
After listening to Alice's words, Li Mu was slightly taken aback, and then the corners of his mouth rose.
It seems to be a treasure... It seems that my luck is not wrong.
I saw Alice closing her eyes and praying to Sun Shan, and then said to Li Mu:
"Your mission is complete, this is your reward."
With the sound of the system, Li Mu was pleasantly surprised to find that he had received 300 experience points in one breath!
It's a lucrative job! Can be upgraded!
Li Mu was overjoyed.
Impatiently, he clicked the upgrade button on the game interface on the spot.
In Alice's surprised eyes, a dazzling holy light enveloped Li Mu, and a mysterious power came from the void and poured into his body.
That is the divine power that Eve has diluted countless times.
Unlike other games, the thrill of leveling up in this game is so real and so powerful.
Li Mu only felt that his whole body was warm, like basking in the sun, and the power in his body increased rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he felt that his five senses had been strengthened...
That real sense of gain, don't be more cool.
One hundred experience points were deducted, and his level became level 2.
Looking at his character card, Li Mu was slightly overjoyed:
"All attributes have increased by 1 point! Magic power has increased by 2 points!"
He tried to cast "Twisting Vines" and found that the casting speed was increased by nearly a quarter, and the spell effect was more powerful. Originally, only one vine could be summoned, but now there are two!
If he were to do a combat evaluation, Li Mu felt that the current self could easily kill the self before the upgrade!
Just raising one level, the effect is so obvious... I wonder what it will be like at level 11
At this moment, Li Mu looked forward to the future even more.
"Congratulations on your promotion."
At this time, Alice's congratulations also followed.
Li Mu looked over, only to find that the other party and her goodwill had returned to positive values.
With a move in his heart, he already had some guesses about the NPC system of this game.
After saying thank you to the girl, Li Mu received another mission.
He intends to speed up the pace of the upgrade.
But next, in order to complete the task more efficiently, he is ready to team up with other players.
