Chapter 493: Chapter 465: The Night Before the Update (Double-Length)
He looked at Moonlight Jasmine.
The girl shook her head,
“I’m not interested in NPCs.”
“Speaking of which… the NPC design in this ga is just too troubleso. After all, it’s just a bunch of data. Why make it so complicated? The affinity level even affects the speed of gaining experience.”
“The realism of ‘Elf Kingdom’ is indeed outstanding. The impact feel during battle is quite intense, completely incomparable to the gas I’ve played before. In my view, the developers should focus on combat and balancing the classes; everything else is pointless.”
Caesar, …
“You never interacted with NPCs? Never did daily quests?”
he asked.
Moonlight Jasmine shook her head,
“Too troubleso. I only like combat. What I want to do most right now is boost my combat power rating to first place, then PK with Boxed Lunch, and ultimately win.”
As she spoke, her eyes lit up, full of fighting spirit,
“Competition and combat are the essence of the ga!”
Caesar, …
He gave her a weird look and shook his head,
“This unique preference of yours… If it weren’t for the gender lock in this ga, I’d really think you were playing a cross-gender character.”
“Do you want a beating?”
“Uh… hahaha.”
Caesar chuckled awkwardly.
He hurriedly changed the topic,
“Speaking of which… we’ve known each other for almost a month now… I still rember that day we did the quest. If it weren’t for your help, I would have been toast right there.”
But Moonlight Jasmine shook her head,
“You’re just too weak. You can’t even handle the wild monsters near the core area of Elf Forest, and yet you want to be my ‘kindred spirit’?”
Caesar smiled awkwardly,
“Uh… I an, I never played virtual MMORPGs before, you know? It was my first ti, first ti, haha! I’m not like you, naturally skilled at playing gas…”
Moonlight Jasmine gave him an eye roll,
“Are you really a guy?”
Caesar, …
“Ahem… I joined ‘Elf Kingdom’ because I was drawn to its scenery, and besides… I like playing gas for the storylines, not for the fighting.”
he explained.
“Weirdo.”
Moonlight Jasmine shook her head.
Caesar, …
Touching his nose, he asked again,
“By the way, I rember you won the chance to advance your class, right? Why not advance? With your skills, if you advanced to silver, you’d at least break into the top five on the power rankings, maybe even top three if you developed a bit! I always thought that if you’d joined the ga at first launch, you’d be a top-tier boss by now.”
Hearing what he said, Moonlight Jasmine shook her head,
“There’s nothing I can do. I was playing another ga before, and by the ti I noticed ‘Elf Kingdom,’ it was already in its third closed beta. As for class advancent, I’ll wait until after the update. I’m planning to dabble as a Priest, worried that advancing now might have so other impacts.”
“Uh… you’re going to dabble as a Priest? Didn’t you say I could be your support healer?”
“You’re too noob, and you’re always hard to find. It’s better if I fend for myself.”
“…Sorry, it’s my fault. I thought if I improved more, I could keep up with you.”
Caesar looked heartbroken.
“But…”
Moonlight Jasmine suddenly switched her tone,
“When the Priest class unlocks, I can help you out. Don’t you also want to dabble as a Priest? Priest experience requirents seem minimal, so leveling up should be relatively quick.”
Caesar’s eyes lit up,
“That would be aweso!”
He then scratched his head a bit embarrassedly,
“Actually, I was planning to specialize entirely as a Priest, since… according to the announcents, advancing this class seems to require more interaction with NPCs. I feel this suits better. Plus, if I specialize in Priest, maybe I can also be of help to you…”
His last sentence was barely audible.
“What did you say?”
Moonlight Jasmine turned her head to ask.
“Uh… nothing, I just said the official announcents make think the Priest advancent might suit better.”
Caesar said.
“You’re talking about preaching? Do you really think the ga would make you preach to NPCs exchange-for-exchange?”
Moonlight Jasmine raised an eyebrow.
“Isn’t that how it works?”
Caesar was stunned.
“Don’t expect too much. No ga is made like that. I bet preaching is like ‘progress bar’ stuff; once completed, it’s done.”
Moonlight Jasmine shook her head.
“Is that so?”
Caesar was again slightly taken aback.
He hesitated,
“But… the intelligence of the NPCs in this ga is so high…”
“I assure you with my years of gaming experience.”
Moonlight Jasmine said.
Caesar still wanted to say sothing, but a new system notification suddenly appeared before them—
[Ding—]
[“Elf Kingdom” will undergo a version update in 10 minutes. Please prepare to log off]
“It’s about ti. I’m logging off to grab so food. Let’s et up after lunch.”
Checking the ti, Moonlight Jasmine downed the ale on the wooden table, then stood up and headed to the guest room on the tavern’s second floor.
All her contribution points were exchanged for gear; she hadn’t bought a residence yet and had been living in the guest room.
Watching Moonlight Jasmine leave, Caesar hesitated again while touching his nose,
“Progress bar preaching?”
