Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 376 - 359: A Mage Should Engage in Close Combat!

Dongdong thought she was super lucky.

First, she held onto her friend’s leg and in just a few days leveled up to 10 by leeching experience from killing wild monsters. Then she immediately got a hidden storyline quest that was perfect for writing a book.

To know, her research group’s boss participated in compiling those Blue Star textbooks, and she was responsible for writing the drafts and organizing the text!

As expected, with her rich experience and professional bafflement, she easily got into the task group. Not only did she help complete the compilation of the holy text, but she also sneakily added a lot of her own content...

After completing the task, Dongdong was rewarded with 30,000 experience points, almost reaching the standard for class change, and received ten lottery tickets!

In her excitement, she used up all the tickets, though the result was not quite satisfactory.

Two sets of rare blue equipment and... 400 resurrection tokens.

In her friend Meng Zhihan’s words—

The equipment was pretty good, and the resurrection tokens were consolation prizes. Being able to pull eight times for tokens, with each time getting 50, was, in some way, quite lucky. At least you could die without worrying short-term, no need to remind yourself every day to save resurrection tokens for the future.

*Hmm... Dongdong thought the same.*

At least, they served as a personal consolation when seeing her friend draw three pieces of purple epic equipment and one epic meditation spell book...

But just when Dongdong thought her luck was bad, a new quest arrived!

Large-scale war mission: "Battle of the Dungeons"!

The thing that attracted her was this reward:

All players accepting the quest would receive a set of Black Iron equipment crafted by dark dwarves each time they participated in battle...

Each time they participated?

Each time...?

So, if one died during the task, resurrected, and rejoined the battle, they could receive the equipment again?

Dongdong had already asked. A set of Black Iron equipment crafted by dwarves included a helmet, top, bottom, and weapon, which was four out of the six pieces of a full set.

And one piece of Black Iron equipment crafted by a dwarf could be reclaimed by the Goddess for 1,200 contribution points and sold to players for even more, likely 2,000 contribution points!

This meant that this set of equipment was worth 8,000 contribution points!

And she... had just gotten 400 resurrection tokens.

Wonderful!

Dongdong, who quickly thought ahead, instantly realized she was going to get rich. At level 11, dying once cost her 11 resurrection tokens, and 400 resurrection tokens were enough for her to die 36 times and get 36 sets of equipment!

*Hmm... that’s the limit. If she died any more, she would lose levels without resurrection tokens.*

And 36 sets of equipment...

*Oh my God, that’s over 280,000 contribution points!*

Wahaha! That’s enough to get two sets of golden legendary gear!

She had been drooling over the pretty golden legendary robe in the shop!

Dongdong was quickly overwhelmed with excitement, hurriedly completed several daily tasks, successfully earning the last bit of promotion experience. Then she rushed to the temple to change her class, promoting to level 11 to become an Elf Mage.

Afterward, she didn’t learn any new skills (mainly because she ran out of contribution points) and hurriedly dragged her friend along to scam equipment—no, to participate in the war mission.

This was Dongdong’s first time playing a virtual MMORPG, and it was also her first time participating in such a large-scale group quest.

Although she initially planned to get some equipment, when the war actually started, she was stunned by the realistic, grand, and magnificent war scenes in "Elf Kingdom"...

A staggering number of Goblins, the neatly arranged yet terrifying Undead Army, the serious Dwarf Warriors and Gnome Mages...

Sieging, fighting, roaring, slaughtering...

*The brutality and chaos of war, the immersive shock, the pungent smell of blood, and the heat waves erupting from magic explosions even made Dongdong wonder if this might be a real world...*

*Hmm... if she ignored the game system screen visible in her view, the magnificent and stirring background music, and Brother Mu’s roaring commands on the battlefield channel.*

And being a girl who loved war films, horror films, and gore thrillers, Dongdong quickly threw her initial thoughts out the window, immersing herself completely in this large-scale mission...

Of course, due to her low level, she spent more time feeding.

For instance, her first death was given to a Goblin that was not even level 10. It jumped on her and stabbed her chest with a sword.

Sure, one of her goals was to feed.

Only after witnessing how cool and grand the task was did she decide to have fun with it properly.

*Hmm?*

*You ask how a backline Mage could have a Goblin jump on her?*

*Well...*

"Dongdong! You’re a Mage! A backliner! We’re supposed to control one and deal damage to the other with me! Don’t charge forward!"

Watching her friend rushing again with her system-bound magic wand, Meng Zhihan was speechless.

While using control magic to entangle the Undead attacking her friend, she shouted,

"Look at Boss Little Xian Miao, staying in the back and tossing Fireballs into the Undead pile. She’s already killed so many! Where’s your Fireball Technique?"

Hearing her friend’s roar, Dongdong coughed twice and said,

"Boss Little Xian Miao’s Fireball Technique was tier three with golden gear. Her combat power could destroy NPCs with her eyes closed from throwing Fireballs, and I haven’t even learned a single tier one magic yet..."

"Besides, melee fun is real! I still admire something like Boxed Meal!"

Saying this, she nodded toward a certain direction.

Meng Zhihan followed her gaze and saw a ghostly figure weaving among the Undead.

That was Boxed Meal.

This high-level player dodged Little Xian Miao’s Fireballs while occasionally shimmering a glow of skills, destroying a Skull Soldier...

No one could stop him.

Meng Zhihan paused and then realized it, laughing as she scolded Dongdong,

"Then you should cross-class into a Hunter! Why choose to be a Mage?"

"Tch, the strongest should be the melee Mages, right?"

From afar, Dongdong’s voice continued to drift in.

*Hmm... after a few deaths, she could almost hold out for half a minute in front of the Undead and even managed to use the [Frost] buff on her magic wand to knock off a bone from the opponent...*

*Speaking of which, this girl did have a bit of talent for melee.*

*Even with her friend’s help, managing to hold out so long among Undead as a level 11 fragile Mage was already quite remarkable.*

And just when Dongdong was about to knock off the second rib of the Undead...

Suddenly, a huge Fireball descended from the sky.

With a deafening blast, Dongdong, smiling brightly, and the Undead Soldier she had disarmed, returned together to nature’s embrace.

"Oh no! I aimed in the wrong direction!"

From the rear of the crowd, Little Xian Miao’s apologetic voice rang out from afar.

Meng Zhihan: ...
