Chapter 706: An Evil God's Whispers
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The huge world that World of Warcraft presented to the players in the game contained abundant and complicated information, but its theme wasn't hard to understand.
By now, many players had formed an initial understanding of the whole world and the series of events in it.
On the land of Durotar, the Horde led by Thrall built campsites here and continued to enlarge the troops. In the official novel, Rise of the Horde, they invited creatures such as the undead, orcs, taurens, and trolls to join them.
On the other side, the Alliance led by the human kingdom, Stormwind City, had begun to form an alliance with different races such as the elf race and dwarf race.
While the hidden conspiracies slowly spread on the land, the dangers left from ancient times still threatened the safety of the Alliance and the Horde.
However, after the retreat of the Burning Legion, it was clear that their biggest enemy was each other.
In Southshore which was heavily guarded by Alliance guards, all players received an ear-piercing prompt, [Southshore is under attack!]
"Southshore is under attack!"
"What's wrong?!"
"What happened?!"
There were many Alliance players doing quests in Southshore, including Mercenary Crete and his mercenary group.
The mercenaries didn't have stable game time everyday, but Mercenary Crete had already reached higher than level 30. He had quite a few eye-catching blue rare items looted from Scarlet Monastery. "It's annoying that I didn't encounter any Horde players in the wilderness. Yesterday, I made about 7 honorable kills."
"Yesterday, I killed one Horde player who was over level 40." The mage named Lily, Crete's friend and one of the first customers of the new shop, said proudly, "These Horde people are all noobs!"
"Look! What's that?!" A nearby rogue suddenly pointed at a spot outside Southshore.
A large group of Horde players swarmed into the town like tigers released from cages.
The group of players who were a little over level 30 but were still half-new to the game didn't have time to react.
Charge!
Shadow Bolt!
Lightning Bolt!
Backstab!
"..."
They all dropped to the ground.
"What's that?!"
"My goodness! So many Horde people..."
Without warning, the entirety of Southshore was swallowed by magic spells and sword and saber energies.
"Butcher! Butcher them all! Today, crush the heads of these damn Alliance people!" Soon, Southshore was littered with corpses of Alliance players, and many undead, tauren, and orc players danced on these corpses smugly.
"Hahahaha! I killed over a dozen!"
"I feel like my prestige rank is about to increase!" In the Half City Shop, a black cloud hovering in the air laughed wildly while wearing a virtual reality headset.
...
"We new players can't do quests now." The big white deer had been playing a new druid character who belonged to the Alliance, enjoying itself by turning into a cat or bear. However, the moment it entered the game today, it was struck to the ground by all kinds of magic spells. Now, it was lying on the ground with tears in its eyes. "We need masters to help us. There are so many Horde people!"
Then, she received the party invite from Elven.
She received a party invite from Big Sword Crete.
She received...
"I'll summon my brothers from the Mercenary Union!"
"They dare to bully newbies of our Alliance. Shame on them!"
They pulled out the fraction channel on the game interface. [Brothers! The Horde butchered our Southshore and even our newbies! Can we tolerate this atrocity?! Brothers with hot blood enter the group! Let's kick out these pieces of garbage!]
[Sell Myself to Play WOW requests to join the group.]
[Lich in Make-up requests to join the group.]
[...requests to join the group.]
Instantly, group requests flooded the screen.
In World of Warcraft, the players got all the information about the races and classes and even details of each faction. They could even earn gold coins with the professional skills in the game to pay for the cost of playing the game. They felt as if it was an alternative universe that they lived in.
Yes, they lived here, performing alchemy, opening shops, cooking food, and making machinery. They could find almost anything that they wanted to do in this world. There was more than just battling in this world.
This was why players had a strong sense of ownership and honor. For example, the paladins had sworn to protect the weak with their swords and shields, so they couldn't sit back and watch at this moment.
Similarly, the druids had once made the promise to their beloved forests, "We'll shatter all barriers with sharp teeth and claws while roaring. Maybe years later, I can return to this place and enjoy eternal peace while leaning on the Tree of Life."
Now facing the invasion of their biggest enemy faction, the Horde, how could they back off?
Therefore, even the players from different guilds began to organize themselves indignantly.
They worked together all by themselves without needing orders from above.
They felt as if this was their duty and honor.
"Brothers of the Alliance, enter the group and counterattack the invasion of Southshore!" A hoarse roar resonated in the whole faction.
...
On this continent, humans were respectful toward the gods. It would be better described as fear, a fear for the great power of the unknown existence that ruled over all species.
The innate fear that the lower-level creatures had toward the higher-level existences had been engraved in their bones.
This fear couldn't be changed overnight.
...
Different from the bustle in World of Warcraft, some spots in the shop were quite peaceful.
Not everyone was involved in the big fight. For example, Elder Sewell, a peace-loving elf, never read messages in the faction's chat channel.
At this moment, she was searching for useful minerals in Duskwood.
Suddenly, she saw a message jumping out from that QQ in the bottom-right corner of her screen.
"Trailer for The Avengers? What's this?!" Elder Sewell froze.,
Then, she casually clicked it open.
"Humans... were made to be ruled..." A blood-colored setting sun shined lights on the tall buildings that had a totally different architectural style, and the voice that sounded like that of an evil god whispered at her ears.
The movie recreated by the system made everything as real as it could be. It even made the voices in the movie sound so real, let alone the power level in it.
A horrifying force swept across the whole city, knocking down buildings and setting all the cars on fire.
"Ya?!" Elder Sewell almost jumped up from her seat.
"What's this?!"
"Ugh? Elder... What are you watching?" The elves beside her looked over.
"It seems..." Elder Sewell calmed herself down. "It seems to be a story about an evil god's invasion of Earth and the people's resistance to the invasion..."
"Ha? An evil god?! Can humans resist gods?!" another elf said in surprise.
Chapter 707: It Was Too Scary for Elves; I Think This Should Be a Terrifying Disaster Movie
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
"Ugh... Elder, how did you know that there is this trailer for the new movie 'The Avengers'?" Elf Girl Sala also looked over.
"You can go use this... QQ!" Elder Sewell said cheerfully, "When the trailer of the new movie came out, a prompt just popped up. It's really useful!"
"There is something this useful?!" Elf Girl Sala blinked her big eyes. "Where did you find it? Show me!"
Mr. Fang had just walked past them, and he said to the System while putting his hands on his forehead "Awesome."
Proud and lofty, the System didn't reply.
...
"Ya! The shop has free stuff!" Elf Girl Sala was delighted. "I thought the shop owner charges money for everything! Now, I see that he's a nice guy!"
Then, she activated QQ free of charge.
Sure enough, she received a recommendation, Trailer of 'The Avengers.'
"Ugh?" Sala clicked on it immediately. They had heard about the movie 'Resident Evil 2′ in the shop but hadn't watched it.
"Ugh...? This city looks similar to the one shown in Resident Evil..." Sala recognized the similarity since it was a style different from any city on the continents she knew.
"What is Resident Evil?" Elder Sewell looked puzzled. "What's that?"
"It is the first mystical realm in this shop," Sala said, "I watched Ms. Helen play it before; it looked quite interesting."
"I'll watch the trailer of The Avengers first," she continued, "I heard that it's a type of mystical realm that... um... we can't control, just like the images left by the ancient elves in the Elf Royal Palace."
"Be careful!" Elf Elder Sewell warned, "Be careful of the voice of that evil god; and his words are full of temptation and degeneration."
"I'm being careful... Elder," Elf Girl Sala whispered.
Then, she watched the trailer with great caution as if even a tiny sound would alert an extremely horrifying existence.
In the city full of skyscrapers built with reinforced concrete and steel, seeming to be able to reach the sky, soldiers walked around with great caution as if they were watching out for a demon.
Different from the original movie, the system version recreated each detail to correspond to the characters' backgrounds and abilities.
For example, the characters' looks.
When the black-clothed figure who was carrying a scepter looked up, people saw his wicked face and abyss-like deep eyes. Even one glance at him would make people shiver with an inexplicable fear.
For another example, the viewers could feel the bone-deep despair of the humans who were fleeing from the catastrophe even from the screen.
"We get ready." Sala watched as the people in the trailer finally blew the trumpet for the counterattack.
"There was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people; when we needed them, they could fight the battles that we never could."
"I think this movie will be great!" Pleasantly surprised, Sala grabbed Elder Sewell's arm and said, "This must be a great legendary story full of sorrows and great deeds!"
"What are you watching?" Obviously, Sala's loud voice alerted other elves near them.
"We're watching the trailer of 'The Avengers'!" Excited, Sala recommended it to the other elves. "In the movie, a horrifying evil god is trying to rule the humans."
"You can't imagine how scary that evil god is!" Elder Sewell said, "If you see him, you will freak out!"
"Evil god...? A god that is evil?" Rowling, a member of the Snow Pigeon Team, almost shivered when she heard it. "How... how can such a horrifying creature exist in the world?!"
They had seen the gods in the 'East Continent' when they played the Legend of the Sword and Fairy, but those gods were fair and abided by rules.
But now, there is an evil god?!
She jumped to one side like a startled rabbit and said, "I... I don't want to watch it!"
"Ah..." Captain Lance lamented, "This must be a great story just like the one depicted in the epic legends... No... I even have a feeling that it's greater than the epic legends since their enemy is a god!"
"What are you guys talking about?! What god?!" Hearing the ever-louder voices, the players who didn't join the defense battle in Southshore looked over.
"The Avengers!" Captain Lance said in a loud voice, "You'll know how horrifying that evil god is after you watch it!"
"Ahhh-!" Beside them, Rowling almost jumped up with fear. "Please don't mention it again!"
She looked so frightened as if the evil god could raze the whole Elf Clan to the ground with one wave of his hand.
After all, there were such existences in this world.
They were especially afraid because...
"That evil god is so scary! He has a voice that can lure people to fall into an abyss. He has a chilly and creepy look... and demon-like horns..." Hearing Sala's words, the elves who listened with perked-up ears screamed and almost shed tears of fear.
Is there really such a horrifying evil god?!
"I think this must be a horrifying catastrophe," one elf commented, "I think we will watch how the humans on this 'Earth' flee from the catastrophe!"
"Can we really watch this movie?!" some elves exclaimed.
"Can these people defeat this evil god?!"
"I won't watch it if they can't do it!" The elves were truly freaked out!
...
When the players died in World of Warcraft, they had only two options. One was to resurrect in the camp with resurrection sickness and couldn't do anything when the negative buff was there, and the other was to run to their corpses and revive there with little HP to be killed again by the players who were guarding the corpses.
While these elves talked about the trailer of 'The Avengers', the situation in the battleground of Southshore changed again.
The mercenary players in the new shop didn't have masters with top-tier equipment, but they had the advantage of numbers.
In the whole shop, the biggest group was the mercenaries. Since they were playing the game on and off, some of them hadn't reached level 30 yet, but they all rushed over from the nearby towns.
With almost 1,000 players gathering in Southshore, this place was crammed.
Chapter 708: Heaven Is on the Left, and the Warriors Turn to the Right
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
[TL Note: A popular saying in the Chinese WOW community. It emphasizes that warriors sacrifices themselves for the greater good.]
"Battle!"
"For the Horde!"
Bedlam broke out in Southshore.
Countless corpses and endless blood of the Alliance players and the Horde players formed a wave of red and black shadows in this small border town under the light of the setting sun.
"Wayaaa... Don't chase me! Look at the dying paladin! Why don't you chase him?!" In the Yuanyang City Shop, a big white deer sitting in its computer chair cried desperately while controlling its little druid character to flee wildly on the screen.
"For the Alliance Hahaha! This Horde player was killed by the guard! Hahahaha! I'll die from laughing!" it suddenly laughed heartily.
"Little Bell!" A clear voice came from behind. "My leave for experience is granted! Do you want to go to the new shop with me and have fun?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Bright glints flashed in the pair of black-crystal-like deer eyes. "I want to see the cute elves! I wonder if the orcs are as dull as the taurens?"
It immediately put down the virtual reality headset.
On the battlefield, the Alliance and the Horde players were still fighting fiercely.
"Hahaha... I feel like I will soon be promoted! My prestige rank will level up!"
"Me too!"
"Frostbolt!"
"Presence of Mind!"
"Bladestorm!"
On the screens, humans, dwarves, orcs, and elves fought fiercely with each other in a state of great chaos.
At this moment, Mr. Fang was leveling up with some of the members of his Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild. Of course, despite its overbearing name, this guild had a peace-loving principle and mainly engaged in leisure activities, and the idle members chatted each day in the guild in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere.
[Boss!]
Mr. Fang was surprised to see this message from Jiang Xiaoyue.
[You promised to take me to see the elves!😠]
[Oh... Did I?] Mr. Fang was having a practice battle in Orgrimmar and had just obliterated an orc warrior. He thought for a second and replied, [Oh, I seemed to have said something like that...]
[What do you mean by seem like it!?] Jiang Xiaoyue was so angry that she wanted to bite him. [Did you forget?!]
Mr. Fang's face stiffened since he had put all his time in the game in the past few days and indeed forgotten it.
[Ah... This... absolutely not!] Mr. Fang looked as sincere as he could. [I've been busy with work lately and didn't have time! That's all!]
[Then, when do you have time?! Humph!]
[I have time now!]
[Okay! I'll forgive you this time! Today, I want to go and see elves with Little Bell!]
[No problem!] After all, Mr. Fang had the duty to promote harmony among the players from different shops. [Are you in the shop? I'll come over now.]
...
Mr. Fang went upstairs. On the way to the staff dorms, there was a giant hollow golden gate that was engraved with myterious patterns.
He knocked on the gate.
"Ugh? No response?"
Meanwhile, in the Half City Shop.
A black cloud hovered before a computer close to the counter. In the Horde battle command channel in Half City Shop, a player with the ID 'Almighty Demon God' was standing before the microphone stand. "Clear them all! Clear all the Alliance players in this area! Follow me! Do you see them over there? Are the Alliance people still standing there like morons? Wipe them out! Wipe them out for me!"
Its voice was passionate while messages popped up in QQ like crazy.
It switched out of the game and replied, [Who is it? Don't bother me! I'm commanding the battle!]
Seeing this, Mr. Fang directly kicked the gate.
At this moment, the orcs heard a soul-wrenching howl in the Horde's battle command channel.
"Wipe them out for me! Wipe... Ao! Aoooo!"
Almighty Demon God suddenly said, "I... I have some urgent business...!"
"Ao! Ahh!"
It got offline immediately as if its butt was on fire.
Black Demon said, "F*ck! How can we go on without the commander!"
"Let's stop it here! Stop!"
"Let's go! Let's get out of here!"
"Why don't you command it? Old Black?" some cultivators asked.
"Can't do it. I've got to get offline in less than one hour."
...
"What's happening?" At this moment in the new Canglan City Shop, an orc with a lion head looked around in puzzlement.
After the guild members left, the number of Horde players dropped sharply, leaving only a large group of independent players who moved like headless flies now that they didn't have many people to follow.
Meanwhile, about 2,000 Alliance players swarmed toward them like the black waves of an ocean.
"How come they are all gone?! Where are they?!" The orcs who had just resurrected watched as large groups of Alliance players swarmed up while the Horde players scrambled to flee.
"Go! Let's kill some more!"
Charge!
Bladestorm!
In less than ten seconds, they all fell to the ground.
Like black waves, the Alliance players swarmed into Tarren Mill in the north.
A few new players who were about level 20 had just arrived and only got a glimpse of this Horde camp when the waves almost instantly engulfed them.
Seeing the cruelly trampled Tarren Mill, the orcs' eyes turned red.
Coming back after resurrection, the Horde players saw more than 1,000 Alliance players swarming over like groups of locusts.
They also saw the corpses of the new Horde players on the ground.
A few orcs directly raised their long sabers and axes before charging over.
"For the... Horde!"
Then, they were engulfed instantly.
At this time, in World of Warcraft, each death came with high equipment repair costs. However, these orcs spared no thoughts to it and came back again.
Soon, several orcs appeared on the horizon, and they fell again.
For some people, this was only a virtual world, and they didn't take things happening in here seriously after seeing many ups and downs.
But for some other people, the world meant much more to them.
It could be said that they were naïve and reckless, but they had put their feelings into this world and formed a sense of honor for this place.
Again, the Horde players charged into the Horde camp which had become empty after the slaughter.
"How come these people aren't escaping?"
"Are they stupid?"
"F*ck! I killed this orc instantly with one saber strike!"
"Their equipment should all be damaged..."
"I guess they can't afford to repair the equipment. Maybe they won't return?" Some Alliance players murmured to themselves.
The orcs fell again and again. Each time they fell, they got up again and charged. It felt as if they knew that this was meaningless like a mantis trying to stop a car, they wanted to contribute their efforts.
"Our Horde can't defeat them!" an orc lamented and howled.
"Again... charge again!"
Upon entering the class, these orc warriors took the oath.
Heaven is on the left, and the warriors turn to the right. These orc warriors felt as if they were empowered by a fearless strength.
They charged! And they fell again.
In World of Warcraft, the detestable enemies sometimes had admirable qualities as well, regardless if they were naivety or recklessness.
One Alliance warrior bowed to the orcs since he understood their feelings as a warrior.
The warriors had no regard for their lives while they charged into the battle.
"Let's go." Many Alliance players started to cast their hearthstones.
Chapter 709: Onlookers of the big white deer
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Soon, the next morning came.
Jiang Xiaoyue set off quite early with Little Bell.
As they did everyday, the elves came to the shop in the early morning, eager to find out more about 'The Avengers.' On the way, they talked about the events that took place in World of Warcraft yesterday.
When they reached the door, they quickly moved back immediately. "Is it the right place?"
They saw a loli with exquisite facial features sitting at the counter with a big white deer?!
Where's the shop owner?!
"Sir, some people are sneaking glances at us by the door. Are they trying to steal something?" The sharp-eyed Jiang Xiaoyue pointed at the door and yelled.
"Ah?" Mr. Fang stood up and saw a large group of elves walking in.
"Ya! They... they are elves?!" Jiang Xiaoyue exclaimed, and her big round eyes widened. "How come there are so many?!"
"Ya! What do I see?!" The big white deer rubbed its eyes with its front hooves incredulously. "I see many elves too! Their ears are pointy!"
"Ugh... I seem to see a talking deer..." Elf Girl Sala suspected that her eyes were playing tricks on her. "This deer can talk?!"
"Of course! Of course!" Little Bell yelled excitedly.
"Eh..." The elves' eyes brightened. "Sir, is this an orc of the Deer Clan? I've never seen a white one before."
"Orcs are green-skinned, right? There're no white orcs." They watched as the deer walked from behind the counter.
"Yaa-!" Instantly, the elves shrieked. "It's indeed a deer!"
"Sir, where did you capture such a deer! I want one too..."
"Nonsense! This must be a holy beast! Only holy beasts can talk!"
The elves surrounded the deer, looking at it up and down and poking it frequently.
"Ahahahaha! What are you doing! It's itchy! It's itchy!" The deer almost fell to the ground as if it was having a stroke.
"My goodness!" A thought occurred to Sala. "Is it a demon from the legends?!"
"What do you mean from the legends?" Little Bell brushed the dust off its body and asked with its baby voice.
"I'm from the Demon Clan!" Little Bell introduced itself, "This is our princess, Xiaoyue Her Highness!"
"Sir, are they elves?" Jiang Xiaoyue asked in a low voice.
"Princess Your Highness..." The elves obviously hadn't seen real demons before. "Do you mean this little girl is also a...?"
"Do you have Liu Mengli in your world?!" The elves widened their eyes as if they were trying to see if this little girl would change into another form soon." Do you live in the demon realm?"
"Oh! I'm not from the Tapir Clan!" Jiang Xiaoyue explained, "The demon realm is an imaginary world in the Legend of Sword and Fairy."
With great curiosity, she looked at the elves in amazement. "How come you're all white-skinned? Are there dark elves among you?"
"We don't have dark elves! Don't be misled by the owner's game in the shop!" Sala said angrily with her hands on her hips.
We don't have that many kinds among us!
"Ugh-!" At this moment, Helen, Commander Elven, and other golden griffin knights walked into the shop.
They exclaimed in surprise, "Ms. Sala, did this deer just talk?! Did I see it wrong?"
"Hello, guys!" Little Bell greeted them friendly.
"Ahhh-!"
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?!"
"May the Holy Light be with me! This isn't real!"
"How come the deer can talk?!"
At this moment, an orc with a head that looked like that of a Shiba Inu walked into the shop. He was wearing a red scarf, looking dominant.
"Today, I'll continue the broadcast of World of War..." With one foot over the threshold, he suddenly froze on the spot.
"Look... is that deer talking?!"
The audience watching Mr. Dirk's Spiritual Spell Visual Projection quickly wrote down comments on the magic letter.
[Is this a mutated member of the Deer Clan?!]
[I've never seen a white deer-headed person before... maybe our eyes are playing tricks on us?]
[I feel like it's a real deer...]
"My goodness!" Mr. Dirk joined them. "What's going on?!"
"Eh? Are there our own kinds on this continent?" Little Bell stared at the dog-head man curiously.
"This is an orc!" Elves hurried to explain, "This cute little white deer is from the Demon Clan! Liu Mengli's clan in the Legend of Sword and Fairy."
Of course, they were still amazed while doing the introduction, thinking, Damn... how come there are really such creatures in the world?!
"Unbelievable!" Sala exclaimed.
Mr. Fang patted his forehead and said earnestly, "I think you guys are unbelievable too."
"How come we are unbelievable!" Elder Sewell glared at Mr. Fang.
You are slighting us elves!
We are all doing good with ourselves. How can you say that we're unbelievable?! Is there any place in the world that doesn't have elves?!
While they were arguing, some assassins came into the shop.
"Why are you all standing here?"
"Ms. Elina, quickly come and look!" Sala beckoned at her excitedly, "The Demon Clan does exist in the world!"
Soon, a big group of people surrounded the deer in the new shop; they kept staring at it and forgot about getting online.
While Jiang Xiaoyue and the deer went over to make instant noodles, the elves and orcs followed them and watched.
"Can your Princess Xiaoyue turn into a tapir?"
"I already told you that I'm not in the same clan as Mengli!"
"Aren't you all demons?"
"..."
When Jiang Xiaoyue and the deer finished their instant noodles and began drinking milk tea, the elves and orcs were still staring at them.
"Do you think... the deer was transformed from a druid?"
"Druids don't have the spell to change into a deer!" Elder Sewell said.
"Then, we can't change into deer and play with it then?"
"Oh!" Elf Girl Sala finally found a new topic. "Have you watched the trailer for 'The Avengers'? The pop-up on QQ!"
"Do you want to watch it together with us when it's released?" Rowling, another female elf of the Snow Pigeon Team, said, "That evil god is so scary. I'll freak out if I watch it by myself!"
"This must be a terrifying movie!" Sala agreed.
"The trailer said that we can watch the movie tomorrow, right?" Sala said warmly, "Watch it with us, and you won't be frightened!"
Jiang Xiaoyue was still studying this group of elves and orcs, trying to see if the orcs had just put on headgears that looked like dog heads and if the elves had glued those pointy ears to their heads.
She snapped back after watching them for a while. "The shop owner has a tour bus; should we watch it together tomorrow?"
Sitting on the couch beside her, the big white deer was slurping down instant noodles.
Chapter 710: A Group Tour to the Lake?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The curious and friendly elves found that this race was miraculous since they could change their formations.
It seemed like both parties wished they could capture each other to do some careful research to understand more about the miraculous races and clans.
Finally, the elves said, "Do you want to group with us and play World of Warcraft? Are you in the Alliance or the Horde?"
"Are you a part of the Horde?!" A few orcs joined in the conversation eagerly. "We have the fiercest orc warriors! Roar!"
"We have Horde characters!" After all, many demons were playing as races such as the tauren and trolls on the side of the Horde, thinking that these characters had more demon-like features. Therefore, Jiang Xiaoyue had also set up a Horde account.
Lately, she was still playing as a night elf on her small account.
It was because she had chosen Tauren as her main account.
If she played as a member of the undead race, it would be a little bit better. In the system version, if the players had natural good looks, they only needed to make minor adjustments and look as if they had Queen Sylvanas' skin.
Therefore, the elves didn't feel uncomfortable choosing the undead race.
However, the taurens... looked a bit too coarse.
"You are Horde players...?" The elves playing as members of the Alliance with Elder Sewell looked disappointed.
"We have both! We have both!" Jiang Xiaoyue said, "Some of my friends chose the Alliance, so we created characters on both sides."
"Can we do that?!"
"We can play together then?"
Obviously, many of the new players didn't know about 'alt accounts'.
"Have you been to the beautiful and tranquil Lakeshire?" Obviously, the elves were fans of natural scenery and preferred viewing beautiful environment to doing instances and leveling up. "You must visit the night elves' Ashenvale. The view is breathtaking, especially in the evening when the moonlight shines on the clear river!"
"Yes. There are also trees that can move freely on their own!" another elf introduced, "Some of them can even talk!"
"Ugh?" Jiang Xiaoyue asked in surprise, "Don't you have such ancient trees in your own clan?"
"We're not night elves..."
"Um... You aren't...?"
"Of course not! Look at our skin! It's not as dark as that of the night elves!"
"Okay." The group chatted animatedly and introduced themselves. When they got online, a large group of people stood behind Xiaoyue and Little Bell.
The players who came late such as Dicas and other high-level mages of the Royal Magic Union were puzzled when they entered the shop.
"Why are you guys all standing here..." Then, a scream came, "Oh?! How come there is a deer here playing games!"
Then the elves, orcs, and assassins enjoyed their astonishment and told them that the deer came from the 'Demon Clan' of the 'East Continent'.
"I feel like I'm dreaming..."
"Yeah. I always thought that this race was imaginary..."
Even dwarves kept glancing this way while they played games.
They had never seen people from the 'Demon Clan' before!
...
"Sir! Why don't you take Xiaoyue and Little Bell for a tour in the city?"
"Right! I think you can take them to see the Red Lake and the Maple Forest by the lake. It's autumn, the most beautiful time to see these places!"
"You can also stand on the top of Canglan Castle and see the whole Canglan City in one glance!" Elf Girl Sala and the knights tossed out suggestions eagerly.
"Ya! Boss..." Jiang Xiaoyue was a bit shy at their enthusiasm. "They are so passionate..."
"Boss! Can we... go out and have fun?" Obviously, Jiang Xiaoyue was more reserved here than back in her home where she was reckless.
"This..." Mr. Fang was still considering the proposal.
"Let's hit the road!"
"I'm sure the shop owner will agree, right?!"
"Sir, will you come with us? Today, we can take a boat and row to the Central Island in the lake!"
Before Mr. Fang could tell Jiang Xiaoyue if they were going on or, he was dragged out of the shop by others.
"Little Xin'er! You guys keep on eye on the shop for me, and I'll be back later!"
"..."
"Anyone else wants to come with us?"
"Me! Me! Me..." Hearing this invitation, the big group of orcs and assassins who were watching them all eagerly came out.
Almost 100 people gathered on the street in front of the shop. The passersby who didn't know their tour plan thought that they were doing window-shopping together...
"My goodness... what's happening?!"
"Look at the deer in the front!"
"The deer seems to be talking?!"
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?!"
The residents of Canglan City all froze at this scene!
It was incredible!
"What's happening up there?! Why are you following them?!"
"There's a talking deer up front!"
"Really?!"
"It seemed to come out from the... Origins Internet Club!"
"There are many orcs and many elves!"
"That one looks like Grand Mage Adolf! How come he's here too!?"
"How come I feel like I saw that Grand Mage Merlin..."
A figure dressed in a mage's robe immediately went deeper in the crowd. How come I feel like I have been discovered?
...
[Sir! We heard that you're taking Xiaoyue and Little Bell for an outing?!] In the group chat in QQ, Su Tianji in Jiuhua City, Ning Bi in Half City, and Zong Wu and Gu Tingyun in Yuanyang City all emerged with questions.
[Why don't you put it on the livestream?!]
Tang Yu said, [Sir, you can't enjoy the sight of elves every day by yourself! Put them on the livestream so that we can see them too! We've never seen elves before!]
Yue Bai added, [I agree, I agree! (Group picture of Xiaoyue and some elves). Look, even Xiaoyue sent us pictures!]
"Okay! Okay! I'll livestream after I ask for their permission." Mr. Fang felt harassed that he had to livestream while he went for an outing!
Snap!
In the shops, the big screens in the lounge areas suddenly lit up.
"The shop owner is livestreaming again?"
"I wonder what we'll watch this time."
Soon, large groups of audience gathered before the screens.
Yue Bai, Tang Yu, other disciples of Heavenly Academy, Fairy Qing Yun who was wearing a big pair of sunglasses, and even the janitors all sat down on the couches.
On the screens, Elf Girl Sala and other elves of the Snow Pigeon Team stood in one row. "Sir, they can see us now?"
"Greetings to people in the other shops! Hello!" The elves waved.
Behind them, some orcs poked out their animal heads.
"What are these?!"
"Does World of Warcraft have orcs like these?! Are they new races...?"
"They are not night elves! A new elf race appeared?!"
"Look! Xiaoyue is with them!"
"They are at... the new shop!"
"Ahh-! I see real elves!"
"Look! A dog-headed man is catching fish in the lake!" Su Tianji exclaimed.
When others looked over, the dog-headed man was swimming back to the bank with two fish dangling from his mouth. "Today, I'll treat you the roasted fish of orcs!"
He was very hospitable.
Exclamations erupted among the audiences in the shops.
It was about 6 o'clock in the evening. Under the fiery evening clouds in the late autumn sky, maple leaves flew down on the banks of the lake. While the orcs roasted fish on the bank, some knights were rowing a boat toward the center of the lake.
"Yohahahaha! It's so fun!" The big white deer stood on the bow and spread its front hooves to enjoy the warm breeze on the lake.
Then, its two hooves slipped.
"Waya–!"
Splash! The big white deer fell into the lake.
"Ugh...?" Everyone in the area froze.
"Ahya! Help the deer! Help me!"
