Chapter 539: Chapter 483: Newbie Daily Life (Part 2)
“Such a hassle.”
“That’s called freedom!”
After speaking, Jiang Shang continued,
“But, if you don’t like it, just don’t do it. Anyway, almost all these things are handled by the big guilds now, especially the one ranking second in guild mbers, the ‘ngng Committee.’ It’s said that 50% of Chosen City’s real estate belongs to their guild.”
“Wait… real estate belongs to player guilds?! Isn’t this the ga’s main city?”
Akai was stunned.
“That’s why ‘Elf Kingdom’ is different from other gas. It’s almost all realistic, with high freedom. Not to ntion dealing in real estate, there are players creating hotel chains and comrcial associations… See those shops on the street? They’re all owned by veteran players.”
“Many veteran players have beco ‘bourgeoisie’ in the ga. People like us are just ‘proletarian poor folk’ who have just entered the ga and need to work hard.”
Jiang Shang said as he pointed to the distant blocks.
Akai:…
“Then, isn’t that unfair to new players? Am I playing an RPG, or am I here to play SimCity?”
“Pfft… If you really want to treat ‘Elf Kingdom’ as a simulation ga, it’s doable. Besides, where’s the absolutely fair ga?”
Jiang Shang shook his head.
He paused and added,
“‘Elf Kingdom’ isn’t perfect in balancing new and veteran players, but it doesn’t enforce spending money, and if you work hard enough, even a newcor can beco strong. To be honest, compared to many online gas, it’s quite fair, isn’t it?”
“Of course, a certain amount of luck is necessary too.”
After listening to his friend, Akai nodded,
“Got it. Let’s start now; let’s quickly do tasks and level up.”
With that, he began to check task recomndations in the newbie guide.
However, Jiang Shang interrupted him,
“Actually, rather than following the newbie guide, I personally suggest we teleport to Feilengcui and get private tasks from NPCs there. It’s said that in the early stages, NPC private tasks have a higher cost-performance ratio, and there’s a chance to improve favorability. Not to ntion, with so many people in Chosen City now, you’ll definitely have to line up for tasks.”
“Feilengcui?”
Akai raised his eyebrows.
“It’s considered the main city of NPCs, with a large population of elf NPCs. Many elves can issue tasks, and if you’re lucky enough to catch an elf’s eye, you might even be taken as an apprentice.”
“They say so veteran players were lucky enough to be taken as apprentices by elf blacksmiths or similar professions like magic rune engravers. Even if not taken as an apprentice by an NPC, so lucky ones have gotten sothing good from the elves.”
Jiang Shang said.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
The two of them quickly agreed and followed the mini-map to the Teleportation Array leading to Feilengcui.
The few elf main cities in Elf Forest had no level restrictions.
Therefore, the two easily passed through the teleportation array and arrived in Feilengcui.
“Is this Feilengcui?”
Seeing the bustling scene no less than Chosen City, a hint of amazent flashed in Akai’s eyes.
If the architectural style of Chosen City, mostly reminiscent of Blue Star, made one feel not the least bit unfamiliar, then Elf City Feilengcui, built on a foundation of white boulders, imposing yet graced with a touch of elegance amidst green trees and blooming flowers, truly gave Akai an unprecedented exotic experience.
Unlike Chosen City, crowded with players, many residents here were NPCs.
They were active and busy in the city, and whenever they made eye contact with players, they would show a friendly smile and nod slightly.
Seeing a female elf bow slightly to him, Akai couldn’t help but say,
“They seem to treat us with a lot of respect?”
“Of course, because players are Chosen Ones, the saviors of the Elf Clan and Elf Forest.”
Jiang Shang explained.
He added,
“However, even though NPCs are respectful towards us, we shouldn’t be arrogant. In this ga, getting along well with NPCs is very important. ‘Elf Kingdom’ has its own ecosystem, and player-NPC relationships are part of it, and while we’re newcors, we should maintain it well.”
Akai listened and nodded in agreent,
“I get it, I get it. Actually, I play a lot of Japanese gas that value imrsion, and besides, I personally really enjoy imrsing myself in gas…”
Jiang Shang smiled,
“Then you will definitely enjoy this ga! Co on, let’s go find an NPC for tasks. Pay attention to NPC templates; only white and blue ones can issue tasks. If you’re lucky enough to encounter a purple one, definitely hold on tight! But no matter which one, rember to have a good attitude, your success rate will be higher…”
The two of them agreed and began exploring Feilengcui, inquiring about private tasks from NPCs…
Three hours later…
“Sorry, Chosen Ones, I’ve already reached my task limit for today and cannot issue any more tasks.”
A female elf slightly bowed to them, speaking with an apologetic tone.
Jiang Shang and Akai exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly,
“Alright…”
“Sorry to bother you…”
The female elf soon left, and the two sat on the ground, looking at each other, seeing a hint of bewildernt in each other’s eyes.
“Ziya, how many have we done?”
“I lost count, seems like it’s almost thirty?”
“Yet in three hours, we’ve only done one task, and it was just cleaning toilets, only leveled up once. Didn’t you say taking private tasks from NPCs was the fastest way to level up?”
“That’s what I thought! Who knew so many open beta players would flock to NPCs, and so many veteran players would do NPC tasks!”
