Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 235 - 229: The Tireless Chosen One

Chapter 235 -229: The Tireless Chosen One

Summer event, ten days!

In “Elf Kingdom,” that translated to a whopping 40 days of event time!

Double experience, double contribution, half-price in the shop, new tasks, and… the most exciting, the lucky draw system!

There’s even a chance to draw golden legendary equipment!

Keep in mind, even with a discount, exchanging for a piece of golden legendary equipment generally required fifty thousand contribution points.

But now, as long as you were willing to grind, you had the chance to earn a lottery ticket.

And with a lottery ticket, if your luck peaked, even a poor kid could turn into a big boss!

The equipment in “Elf Kingdom,” although varying in level, didn’t have strict level restrictions for the user.

In other words, even if you were a player under level 10 and drew a piece of Black Iron level equipment, you could still use it.

At most, it just meant you couldn’t fully unlock the equipment’s potential.

And as the currently recognized top-tier equipment, the enhancement to personal combat power by golden legendary items was obvious to all.

A fully gold-geared Little Xian Miao, after leveling up to Black Iron Middle Rank, even the lunchbox boss couldn’t break her defense without a golden dagger or explosive skills.

Just the rare effects that came with the golden legendary equipment, a full set of six gold-geared Little Xian Miao had a total of eighteen, and the skills attached to the equipment were innumerable… enough to drown someone.

Not to mention, the incredibly flashy appearance of golden legendary equipment.

Produced by the shop, guaranteed to be high-quality.

Although golden legendary items didn’t have the [Shiny] effect, they practically had a built-in “shiny” effect.

They not only featured the finest engravings, the most imposing designs, but also had unique appearances and exclusive backstories (compiled by Eve)…

In short, golden legendary equipment in “Elf Kingdom” was a symbol of status!

A must-have Divine Artifact for showing off and picking up girls!

To most players, golden gear was simply irresistibly attractive!

So, upon seeing the launch of the official summer event, players became frenzied.

Whether it was to level up quickly, boost personal strength, or obtain golden legendary equipment… everyone’s enthusiasm was fully mobilized!

Alice and the native elves of Segis were astonished to find that after learning the Half-Beast Army was on their way to attack the Elf Forest, these Chosen Ones unexpectedly fell into an inexplicable state of excitement.

In no time, nearly all the Chosen Ones transformed into workaholics.

They worked tirelessly, completing task after task issued by the Mother Goddess…

Or they recklessly charged into instances filled with shadow monsters, grinding non-stop inside for an entire day without coming out…

Even the shops opened by Chosen Ones in Chosen City were closed.

Those life-oriented Chosen Ones who used to run shops also packed up building materials to start constructing defense structures around Feilengcui or Black Dragon Castle.

Even the construction team of the Mengmeng Committee halted their leisurely real estate development.

Under the leadership of the Bird, they took on the task of structuring defense cores, received the legendary defense core blueprint from the Goddess, and started building defense cores in Feilengcui and Black Dragon Castle similar to those in Black Rock City…

Of course, the blueprint was a simplified version.

At the current level of player efficiency and skill, Eve didn’t believe they could handle a defense core like Black Rock City, so she simplified the design.

But even so, this level of magical tool wasn’t something players could create on their own.

So, in the end, the Bird also asked Li Mu for help, inviting several Old Elves with high expertise in magical tool manufacturing, such as Carlos Flame and Samir Wind, to assist in the defense construction.

The central square, which usually had Chosen Ones strolling and chatting, became much quieter.

Come evening… you’d be hard-pressed to find many Chosen Ones attending the bonfire party, leaving the Primordial Elf Sarandir, who was enamored with the central square parties, quite disappointed…

All the Chosen Ones were immersed in busyness, as if they had transformed into tireless machines.

And when their bodies couldn’t take it anymore, they’d just sleep for a few hours to rest.

Upon waking, they’d quickly throw themselves back into work!

…

Chosen City, Natural Temple.

“Mother Nature above! What has the Mother Goddess done to them? Why have they become so driven?”

After assigning yet another construction task to a Chosen One with messy hair, bloodshot eyes, but incredibly enthusiastic, Alice couldn’t help but exclaim in shock as she watched him leave impatiently.

*It’s too crazy!*

*Absolutely crazy!*

Ever since the Dark Dwarves visited the Elf Forest a few days ago, these Chosen Ones seemed to be under some kind of exhilarating magic spell, madly obsessed with new daily tasks and demon beast hunting.

Each Chosen One she encountered seemed to have only tasks and monster hunting left in their eyes.

No fatigue, no rest.

And four days after the new tasks appeared, the Chosen Ones’ madness escalated to a new level.

Alice could still clearly remember the incident that occurred in the early hours of that day…

Hundreds of Chosen Ones, for some reason, gathered at the same time in the Natural Temple or in front of the World Tree, fervently praying to the Mother Goddess.

*Truly fervent prayers!*

Over the past half year of interactions, Alice understood the Chosen Ones quite well, knowing that although they fought madly for the Mother Goddess, they weren’t actually her followers. When they prayed, it was usually just for show.

But since the Mother Goddess didn’t mind, she didn’t say much about it.

However, that day was different…

She… saw the Chosen Ones sincerely praying from their hearts for the first time!

Hundreds of Chosen Ones knelt in ecstatic anticipation in front of the World Tree or the Goddess statue, more devout than ever.

*Only… the prayers were quite odd.*

They mostly went along the lines of “Goddess Sister bless me with a soul draw,” “Goddess, please let Luck King possess me,” and so on…

A few minutes later, a flash of light appeared in the hands of the Chosen Ones.

The experienced Alice knew that the Chosen Ones had once again received blessings from the Mother Goddess.

After the blessing, some Chosen Ones were disappointed, while others were thrilled, showing all sorts of expressions.

The most exaggerated was a Chosen One named “Transforming Ji Gang.”

The Elf Warrior had a pair of exceptionally delicate boots appear as a golden light flashed in his hand.

After that… he jumped up and laughed loudly, sprinting excitedly around the square, his loud and proud voice echoing from afar:

“Hahaha! I hit it! I drew golden legendary shoes!”

“Hahaha! ‘Acceleration,’ ‘Stealth,’ ‘Lightweight’! Three top-notch effects! Who else? Who else?!”

“Oh? These shoes even have a backstory… they’re the exquisite combat boots of a legendary Elf hero! Crafted by his lover for him…”

And after that…

The Chosen Ones became even more diligent in their work…

Yet… Alice wasn’t much better off than the Chosen Ones.

These days, as they crazily undertook tasks, Alice, as a daily task NPC, also became exceedingly busy, having gone several days without much rest.

Though she was a Silver Priest and the Natural Saintess favored by the Mother Goddess, her stamina far exceeded that of the Chosen Ones, who were, at most, Black Iron Middle Rank… but the workload was still overwhelming.

Now she too had large dark circles under her eyes, and a tired look on her face.

However, despite the fatigue, her spirits, which had been gloomy and worried due to the news of the Half-Beast Army, gradually eased under the positive and sunny attitude of the Chosen Ones…

*Yes… even the Chosen Ones are working so hard.*

*Some of them were tirelessly boosting their own strength in anticipation of the coming enemy; others were working day and night to enhance the defenses of the Elf Forest.*

*Then, as the Natural Saintess, what reason do I have to be despondent?*

*The Half-Beasts may have a thirty-thousand-strong army, but we of the Elf Clan have over ten thousand!*

*Moreover… Alice noticed that as the Chosen Ones began to work tirelessly, it seemed to once again stimulate their potential, significantly speeding up their strength increases.*

*Over the past few days, she had lost count of how many times she witnessed Chosen Ones advancing.*

*If this trend continued, perhaps… when the Half-Beasts arrived at the Elf Forest, the elves might actually be able to organize a force capable of defending against them!*

*However, Alice also noticed that during the Chosen Ones’ frenzy, Divine Favored Zero was nowhere to be seen.*

“Lord Ling… he must have gone to train intensely to prepare for the coming war, right?”

Alice guessed.

She patted her cheeks, pushing down the fatigue, and then walked out of the Natural Temple.

Outside the temple, the Chosen Ones were bustling back and forth, all working diligently…

“Alice, you look exhausted. Don’t push yourself too hard. Make sure to rest when you need it, and take a good break.”

At that moment, a deep and hefty voice reached her ears.

Alice looked up to see a bald, robust Elf standing over two meters tall.

On his shoulder, he carried a massive lump of semi-transparent special stone material, passing right in front of the temple.

The Elf Girl felt a bit dazed:

“Lord Berserker? Where are you going?”

This robust man was, of course, the Oak Guardian Berserker, who used transformation magic to take on the appearance of an elf.

“The weather is cooling down, and the Chosen Ones taught me a great way to protect the farmlands. I’m heading to the farm to build greenhouses, structures that allow plants to grow normally even in winter.”

The bald, robust Berserker replied.

“I see!”

Alice realized.

Although the Elf Forest’s green period lasted long, it still had autumn and winter.

Perhaps the area around the World Tree could remain lush all year, but most parts of the Elf Forest still faced a period of falling leaves.

A chilly breeze blew through, carrying the unique scent of the Elf Forest, causing Alice to shiver, her mental fatigue dissipating somewhat in the cold wind.

“Achoo—!”

She uncontrollably sneezed.

Berserker looked at Alice’s rather flimsy Holy Maiden Dress and shook his head:

“Alice, with the weather getting colder, you should wear something warmer.”

Hearing Berserker’s words, Alice paused.

She subconsciously glanced into the distance…

The sky was high and the clouds were thin, the azure blue sky stunningly clear.

And the endless forest in the distance was tinted with a golden hue…

The Segis Continent was already nearing November.

Before she knew it, it had been more than eight months since the Mother Goddess’s return.

“Yes… it’s already autumn.”

Alice smiled slightly.

“Late autumn,”

Berserker nodded and walked away slowly, carrying his construction materials.

Alice withdrew her gaze.

She took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and then turned to return to the temple, diving back into her work…
