Chapter 416: Chapter 399: Offline etup (Part 2)
Recently, players of “Elf Kingdom” were drawn to two events.
One was the new version update of “Elf Kingdom,” scheduled for noon on October 1, which would introduce silver class transitions for so lucky players.
The other was the first large-scale in-person gathering of “Elf Kingdom” players, spearheaded by Little Xian Miao of the ngng Committee and co-hosted by several major guilds at the Tianchen Hotel in Demon City!
Reportedly, Little Xian Miao had specially booked the hotel’s venue for the event, and the number of registered attendees had exceeded 500, with nearly all the top executives from various guilds attending.
The et-and-greet event was set to last from the evening of September 30 to the evening of October 1, spanning one full day and night.
On the first evening, all players would enjoy a banquet dinner together, followed by karaoke and entertainnt, providing opportunities to mingle and socialize.
The next day, after the “Elf Kingdom” update, everyone would enter the ga using the in-room pods to experience the new version, followed by a second carnival inside the ga’s Chosen City!
…
“Is this the Tianchen Hotel? One of the few five-star hotels in Demon City where every room is equipped with a pod?”
Li Mu looked at the luxurious European-style grand hotel before him, glancing at the parking lot filled with luxury cars that practically begged one to speculate their prices, and he gulped slightly.
He took a deep breath, tidied himself up slightly, and walked into the hotel.
In the hotel lobby, signs and banners for the “Elf Kingdom” large-scale et-and-greet event were already up, with hotel staff dedicated to guiding attendees.
At the registration desk at the entrance, Li Mu signed his na and was given a tote bag containing the event schedule, an “Elf Kingdom” commorative booklet, a Goddess figurine, and a room key card.
The commorative booklet was a collaboration by several of the ga’s artists, featuring classic screenshots from the ga as well as various illustrations—truly exquisite.
As for the Goddess figurine, it was identical to the cheer animation of the Goddess from the ga, adorable and pleasing. It was said to be a custom order from the event organizers, with one for each participant, showing great thoughtfulness.
Having stored away the tote bag, Li Mu handed his luggage to the hotel service lad, who, under the guidance of a young and beautiful female attendant, led him to the event venue.
At this mont, the venue was brightly lit, already filled with many people.
The banquet was in a buffet format, resembling more of a high-end cocktail party, making Li Mu feel a bit awkward, wondering if wearing jeans was inappropriate.
However, upon noticing that most of the players were dressed similarly to him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
*Looks like everyone’s more or less the sa.*
*Makes sense, most players are ordinary people, it’s just a gathering for fun, not a real cocktail party, though the scale is a bit beyond my expectations…*
The aroma of delicious food filled the air, laughter echoed all around.
Groups of players gathered in twos and threes, with many already finding their circles.
However, Li Mu felt a bit nervous instead.
*Although I’m an experienced strear, I neither show my face nor attend in-person etups, and this is my first ti joining an offline gaming event.*
Just then, a surprised voice suddenly called out from behind him:
“Brother Mu, is that Brother Mu?! Blue jeans, white sweatshirt, just like you ntioned in the guild chat! It must be Brother Mu!”
Upon hearing this voice, Li Mu perked up, with an inexplicable excitent rising in his heart.
*That familiar voice…*
*That slightly flirtatious tone…*
*Demacia!*
He turned around in surprise and saw a very handso guy, at least 1.8 ters tall, with slicked-back hair, fair skin, a refreshing smile, and dressed in a casual suit appearing in his sight…
Li Mu: ???
*Could it be I’m seeing things wrong?*
“Demacia?”
His voice carried a hint of uncertainty.
“That’s right! It’s ! Haha! Brother Mu, after playing together in the ga for so long, I finally get to et you!”
Demacia laughed heartily.
Li Mu: …
He took a deep breath, pinched his temple lightly, smiled first, then sighed and said:
“Didn’t expect, really didn’t expect how different you are from what I imagined. You’re really handso in person.”
*If you’re so handso, why create a red, frizzy-haired character in-ga that ranks lowest in terms of looks among the elves!*
“Haha, you’re the sa, Brother Mu! Your in-ga character looks delicate and feminine, so I always thought you were quite frail in real life. I didn’t expect you to be so sturdy! Haha, it’s such a surprising contrast!”
Demacia laughed.
Li Mu: …
*His chatting skills… It’s definitely Demacia, without a doubt.*
*Kind of want to punch him and then hide in a hole.*
*What should I do?*
He let out an awkward laugh and changed the topic:
“Who else from our guild is here?”
“Uh… I just got here too, so I’m not sure, but from the glance I got at the signature logs, it seems like all the regulars are here.”
Demacia replied.
“Brother Mu! Is that Brother Mu?!”
While they were chatting, another surprised voice sounded from behind Li Mu.
This ti, it was a female voice.
Li Mu turned around to see two girls, one tall and the other short.
They looked to be about his age and were probably college students. The tall girl was slender and pretty, while the short one was very cute, with a mischievous vibe.
“Who are you two?”
Li Mu asked suspiciously.
“Brother Mu, I’m ng Zhihan! In real life, my na is Zhou nghan! Haha, it’s great to finally see you in person! I really love watching your videos!”
The tall girl said happily.
“Oh, it’s you! Miss Forging Master!”
Li Mu realized.
He looked at Zhou nghan and smiled:
“You give off a similar vibe to your in-ga character.”
“Is that a complint?”
Zhou nghan chuckled, her eyes curving into crescents.
Li Mu let out a hearty laugh.
He then glanced at the shorter girl, recalling a certain player who always tagged along with ng Zhihan and was famous for their highly customized character in the ga. He asked:
“Are you… Dongdong?”
“Yep, that’s her! Doesn’t she look completely different from in ga, like a little sprout?”
Zhou nghan said.
Su Su glared at her, then looked at Li Mu, giggling and greeting:
“Hi, Brother Mu, I’m Su Su, ID: Dongdong.”
Li Mu nodded with a smile:
“Hello!”
After Su Su greeted Li Mu, her gaze quickly settled on the noticeable handso guy beside him.
Her eyes lit up slightly, and her face flushed, asking with excitent and anticipation:
“Who is this…?”
Demacia chuckled:
“Haha, beauty, didn’t recognize ? I’m Demacia!”
Demacia?
The two girls paused slightly.
Then, Demacia noticed that Dongdong, who had been looking at him with excitent, quickly returned to calm.
“Oh.”
She nodded lightly.
Demacia: …
