Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 357 - 340: When the Forest is Big, All Kinds of Birds are Found

Chapter 357: Chapter 340: When the Forest is Big, All Kinds of Birds are Found

With the fourth closed beta successfully launched, the new players gradually became familiar with the rhythm of "Elf Kingdom."

For these newly joined players, Eve did not grant them powerful abilities directly, and still let them start from level zero.

Even though... Eve’s Divine Power had already become much more abundant now.

In a sense, the 0-10 level range was also a test for these new players from Eve.

*She wanted these newcomers to use this period, climbing to Black Iron, to familiarize themselves with the rules of the Elf Forest, and gradually integrate into it.*

Of course, with the experience of old players before them, plus the experience points provided by the daily quests released by Eve, which were quite different, new players progressed much faster than the initial beta players.

In less than a week, there were already players who successfully converted to Black Iron Lower professions.

Eve was quite satisfied with this.

However, because the number of players suddenly expanded so much, it inevitably brought about some minor issues.

*The larger the forest, the more kinds of birds there are, and Eve unsurprisingly discovered many quirky new players.*

For example, ignoring personal reputation ratings, trying all sorts of trickery, deception, theft, and robbery, intending to become a "red-named celebrity"...

Although players couldn’t attack NPCs due to the system’s effect, some people turned their attention to the property of elves and old players, using every trick in the book to break in and steal.

Then there were players with no enthusiasm for leveling up but were very interested in the realistic bloody effects of "Elf Kingdom."

They didn’t do tasks daily, finding ways to commit suicide in different styles, and even recorded videos, becoming live streamers who exclusively published various styled death-suicide videos...

Moreover, some players discovered that the NPCs in "Elf Kingdom" were so intelligent and the elves so attractive that they developed a strong interest.

They tried to flirt with NPCs in the game, thinking daily about how to get NPCs, forcibly turning an MMORPG into a dating adventure game...

Additionally, there were those purely intending to cause trouble, such as maliciously setting fires, damaging the Chosen City that old players had built...

Compared to them, Fried Tomato was indeed too kind-hearted, and Demacia also too adorable.

In short, all sorts of situations and quirky individuals surfaced.

*All kinds of buzzing chaos truly gave Eve a bit of a headache.*

*Of course, it was just a slight headache.*

For an administrator, any troublemakers were nothing but jesters.

And for the different voices among players, She was already prepared.

The ultimate tool against troublemakers: warning, punishment, and account banning all in one.

In fact, continuously launching closed betas and recruiting new players was originally a process of constantly screening for suitable tools.

Those who didn’t align with Eve’s interests would naturally face Her punishment.

Of course, the most malicious players would be fiercely dealt with by old players before Eve stepped in.

For example, the closed-beta tester who maliciously damaged the Chosen City and set fires in the city was directly intercepted at the revival point by the high-level players of the Mengmeng Committee...

A few new players who tried to defraud NPCs were angrily captured by Heart of Nature players and tied to poles for a parade...

Of course, after that, Eve certainly didn’t forget to ban these excessive players in the name of the system.

The reason for banning was straightforward and crude: reported by other players.

And as a week passed, the number of players banned by Eve exceeded two hundred.

This number far surpassed the times Eve punished players in the previous three closed betas.

Of course, at this moment, Eve was no longer worried about the source of tools; these troublemakers were ultimately a minority and couldn’t affect the overall situation.

The old players from the first three closed betas had gradually been molded into the shape of the Goddess through various trials.

As long as they were rewarded enough, they would unhesitatingly die for Eve, and to maintain their reputation, they would also naturally uphold the rules of the Elf Forest...

As for the players who were kicked out, their bodies left behind were all reclaimed by Eve as backup bodies for other players’ death and resurrection, to save Divine Power consumption when reviving players.

And even after removing these banned players and adding those who "quit" for various reasons over the past few months, the number of players under Eve’s control still maintained over sixty thousand.

However, those quirky players also made Eve realize once again that, even though Her Divine Power was abundant, the open beta couldn’t be opened lightly.

If a large number of uncontrolled individuals flooded in at once, it might drastically reduce the effectiveness of everything She had done before.

*It was still necessary to follow the elite route, steadily expanding according to actual needs!*

The new players gradually got on track, the renovation of the cathedral was proceeding orderly, and even the compilation of the new scripture was progressing smoothly after recruiting some new members, as Alice reported during her prayers...

Eve had already anticipated this, for She had specially selected some with unique backgrounds when choosing the fourth round testers.

For example, those studying religious studies; or those who had already worked on similar editorial work or were in self-media on Blue Star itself...

It was worth mentioning that even Demacia, who seemed dependable, happily joined the compilation of the "Life Scripture."

However, considering that guy managed to make multi-level marketing successful, tricking both the Dwarves and Humans until they were dizzy, Eve thought having him join might indeed bring unexpected results...

In short, the internal development of the Elf Forest was going well, and the players’ strength was steadily improving.

The Chosen City entered a phase of great development again, with new buildings rising on the outskirts almost every day.

Eve even considered whether to collect contribution points for opening new plots of land.

However, the external environment of the Elf Forest was a bit delicate.

The mercenary group that went to fight the Black Dragon hadn’t returned, with more than five thousand people unaccounted for, their life and death unknown...

This matter gradually caused panic throughout Fengye Territory.

However, strangely, the Border Count of Fengye Territory, Otto von Kapadocia, didn’t come forward to explain anything.

It was just that the entire Fengye Territory seemed to enter a state of contraction and martial law, even the old players still active in Fengye City felt an unusual atmosphere, all the guards had stern faces, and the number of patrols multiplied several times.

Eve understood this quite well; perhaps the disappearance of the Despair Dragon Nidhogg had thoroughly frightened this Human Earl...

However, Eve didn’t intend to take advantage of the victory to trouble him for the time being.

To Her, the Border Earl was just a minor character; Her real concern was the Human Empire and the Eternal Lord behind it.

The external was temporarily safe, and the internal development gradually getting on the right track...

Eve finally remembered Primordial Elf Serenadil, whom She had always forgotten before.
