Chapter 419: Chapter 402: Version Update
The happy tis were always short-lived.
Before they knew it, the players found themselves raving in the central square of Chosen City until midnight again.
It wasn’t fatigue or boredom that stopped them, but the system’s forced logout announcent.
The new version update was coming.
To maintain the appearance of Chosen City and avoid dropping favorability with NPCs, the players hurriedly cleaned up the carnival’s trash before the forced logout ti, then returned to their usual logout spots.
The veteran players mostly chose to log off at their own hos.
The big shots almost all owned their luxurious standalone villas in Chosen City.
The more laid-back ones, due to extended online presence, saved enough contributions to move into so less grand but still pricey private courtyards.
As for the fourth-test players… the hardcore and wealthy naturally had their own hos too, but the majority of regular players still lived in inns or “corpse rooms.”
*At this mont, the wealth disparity in the ga was vividly reflected.*
Of course, despite the huge differences between them, almost none of the players felt resentful.
On one hand, their understanding of the ga made them less sensitive to the wealth disparity in “Elf Kingdom,” on the other hand, it wasn’t purely a pay-to-win ga.
Although the wealthy could purchase contributions to achieve an alternative “spend money and beco strong” thod, the door to becoming a big shot was equally open to ordinary players.
As long as you were committed, as long as you were lucky, as long as you were quick-witted, becoming a big shot wasn’t a dream.
Take ng Zhihan for instance.
As a civilian player in the third test, she diligently completed daily tasks and leveraged her tily luck, and after the advancent requirents announcent, she went on a grind spree. Not only did she advance to level 40 before the update, but she also secured a spot for an advanced class transition.
After saying goodbye to Li Mu and other guild mbers, she and her best friend, Dongdong, returned to their ho in Chosen City.
Her ho was an exclusive courtyard from the ngng Committee’s third real estate developnt phase.
Its scale didn’t match the previous two phases, but despite its smallness, it was fully functional. It took her a total of 20,000 contribution points to purchase it.
Of course, after the fourth-test players joined, the house’s price had skyrocketed countless tis.
Considering the house’s assets, in a certain sense, she was also considered wealthy in the ga.
Yet, even so, she never thought about selling her current house to buy a new one on the Chosen City’s outskirts.
No particular reason. The location was good, and many top players lived nearby. Even though it wasn’t as grand as so newly built houses on the outskirts, it was, in so sense, a symbol of status.
Not to ntion, it was only a ten-minute walk to the Teleportation Array for various maps, and riding her Little Unicorn, which she recently snagged from the forest, would be even faster.
ng Zhihan returned ho and locked the door.
She fed her Magic Pet so fruit, then shooed a certain vain lee Mage wanting to sleep with her to the guest room. ng Zhihan took off her gear and lay down on her bed.
After causing a ruckus in the ga for so long, it was already late night in Segis World.
Chosen City had gradually beco quiet.
The players logged off to sleep, letting this city, which had almost turned into the City of Eternal Night since the fourth-test players joined, slowly fall asleep.
Lying in bed, covered with a recently popular soft and silky dungeon spider silk quilt among players, ng Zhihan looked towards the sky through the wooden window.
In contrast to the sky on Blue Star, which was deep and hazy due to light or atmospheric pollution and where sotis not even a single star could be seen, the night sky in this world was far purer.
The countless stars were shining brilliantly.
The deep blue-black canopy was adorned with endless starlight, more beautiful and dreamlike than any Milky Way she had seen online.
And gazing at this beautiful starry sky, listening to the faint chirping of crickets outside the house, and slling the fresh plant scent inherent in the elf hos, ng Zhihan felt her heart, which had been restless from a day’s wild play, gradually calm down.
“My ntor said each star in the sky represents a different plane. I wonder… is there a ga world like Segis out there too?”
Looking at the twinkling stars, ng Zhihan couldn’t help but recall the various legends she had heard from the Elf Blacksmith Carlos.
*Even knowing this was a ga, she couldn’t help but imagine.*
“I really hope that one day I can travel to every corner of this ga world to experience the culture and customs of each race.”
She mused with so longing.
After attending this offline et-up, ng Zhihan felt she loved the ga even more.
She loved this world, loved the vivid NPCs, and loved the players she t in this world.
This was their dreamy paradise.
As she looked at the twinkling sea of stars, a gentle curve appeared at the corner of ng Zhihan’s mouth.
“See you later, ‘Elf Kingdom.'”
She murmured softly, clicked the sleep button on the system, and drifted into dreamland.
anwhile, in reality, she awakened…
…
Unlike the deep night in “Elf Forest,” it was already bright on Blue Star.
ng Zhihan crawled out of the stealth pod, checked the ti, and found it was already past ten in the morning.
This difference in ti flow always felt marvelous to her, no matter how long ago.
Yawning lazily and dragging her body, which felt much heavier and slower than in the ga, ng Zhihan freshened up before leaving her room.
Many players were already awake.
ng Zhihan woke her friend next door, and together they went to the restaurant for a al.
Considering the players’ schedules, the lunch provided by Tianchen Hotel was still a buffet, with excellent dishes that made one’s mouth water.
However, many players, including ng Zhihan, seed not to pay much attention to it.
There were probably about eighty or ninety of them, who quickly finished eating and, after resting for a while in the hotel’s lobby, seeing the clock was close to twelve, hurriedly returned to their rooms.
These were the players who had drawn spots for the advanced class transition.
Compared to other players, they were far more excited about the new version update of “Elf Kingdom.”
ng Zhihan was no exception.
Having done all her bathroom preparations, she then slipped back into the stealth pod.
The ti was precisely a little past noon on October 1st.
“I’m back.”
ng Zhihan silently uttered in her heart.
She put on her helt and pressed the launch button for “Elf Kingdom”:
“Start ga—’Elf Kingdom!'”
