▪️BROTHER MU, IT’S TOO DIFFICULT!
“Patch update?”
The two of them were slightly startled.
Ever since the launch of the ga’s closed beta, ElvKing still had only undergone a single major update and one minor update.
Although the players would often noticed that the system would occasionally update so relatively small matters, all of which are relatively harmless issues. The players did not find anything wrong with it since the ga is still currently in the beta testing phase.
But this is the first ti a scheduled patch update will be implented and announced in advanced.
Li Mu and Demacia checked the ti and eventually stopped caring about it.
After all, it’s would only take ten minutes and they can just log off early when the ti cos.
It was already the second day of the week back on earth after Li Mu had logged off in the ga.
Taking advantage of this recent update, he then completely disconnected himself from the gapod and slept well in his bed back in reality.
Usually, while he was sleeping in the real world beforehand, he would also let his consciousness enter the ga.
However even though physical fatigue can be easily restored just by sleeping, ntal fatigue on the other hand is a lot more complicated since prolonged VR gaming can heavily affect one’s ntal recovery.
Surprisingly, so players have found a solution to this dilemma which is while entering the ga during sleep, they could also allocate so ti to let themselves rest inside the ga.
However, Li Mu still preferred to disconnect himself from the gapod and sleep in a traditional way once in a while.
He felt that he needed to do this routine, otherwise…Li Mu feels that he will eventually be unable to distinguish the difference between the ga and the real world if he keep imrsing himself without any sort of anchor that bound him back to reality.
Elven Kingdom is simply just too realistic and this ga had really reminded Li Mu of a series of old movies he had once seen before called, ‘The Matrix.’
As ti goes by, he had increasingly suspected that ElvKing’s developers may have built this magnum opus of a virtual online ga in accordance to the standards shown in the Matrix.
It’s really incredible.
Even defecation needs to be done within the ga. He doesn’t know whether to call it over simulation or just blatant perversion…
Regardless, if it weren’t for the ga-like elents such as the status screen and a BGM playing in the background, then he might really indistinguish the ga world from reality.
In any case, it can be confird that the technology used in Elven Kingdom is totally different from the ga engines used in other online gas.
Perhaps…this may even be the true definitive online ga that the hearts of most players are longing for.
Li Mu sighed whilst feeling all sorts of emotions deep within him.
Regarding the mind acceleration feature, there are so rumors suggesting that it could potentially accelerate one’s thinking process also in reality to a certain extent, if a player stays inside the ga for a long ti…
“Actually… if this rumors were real, then it would be pretty good but unfortunately, there’s still no proven evidence that could back these claims.”
Li Mu sighed, as he booted up the gapod and scrolled through his phone to check his social dia accounts.
The current month was July, and his university is already on its sumr vacation, so Li Mu had more free ti in his hands.
However, as a strear, he had not livestread anything for almost a month…
These days, except for eating, showering, and uploading videos regularly, he spent almost every waking hours playing gas in his room.
As for the videos he’s uploading, they were naturally recordings of his playthrough of Elven Kingdom. His content nowadays only consist of gaplay clips, as well as so tips he had learned while playing, such as how to quickly improve an NPCs’ favorability rating.
As a strear who mainly review gas, Li Mu had been completely addicted to Elven Kingdom and had not touched any other virtual reality gas after playing ElvKing.
Alas due to the existence of mind acceleration, Elven Kingdom couldn’t be livestread properly on earth, so his livestreaming channel had beco rather neglected.
Fortunately for him, recording gaplay was still entirely possible. Although Elven Kingdom had not yet been officially launched, it had already garnered nurous fans online.
Thus Li Mu took up a part-ti job as a content creator, relying upon the views brought by his recordings to barely make ends et.
However, as a strear, Li Mu is self aware that his level of gaplay was really not that particularly strong, and the quality of his recorded gaplay videos was not exciting enough to garner much attention.
Moreover, he was not the only strear selected by the developers to play in the closed beta. There were many other veteran strears who were invited as well and are also quite excellent at uploading enticing videos.
Therefore… although his videos had a decent amount of viewership, they were not particularly popular in regards to video content about Elven Kingdom.
However at this ti, when he opened his main channel, Li Mu noticed that the viewership rate of his recorded videos had suddenly exploded for so reason.
Especially his series of videos on ‘How to improve NPC favorability in Elven Kingdom.’
In these series of videos, Li Mu summarized so of the characteristics of the elven NPCs present within Elven Kingdom.
He read the entire official lore and analyzed in detail the elves’ concepts, personalities, preferences, etc… to help the players communicate better with the NPCs.
However, when he first uploaded these series of videos, the reception was rather lukewarm but he was not really all that surprised by this outco since not much player are doing it since increasing an NPC’s favorability takes a long ti, and the benefits were quite limited as well.
Moreover, the NPCs will still give them tasks even if a player chooses not to increase an NPC’s favorability, just as long as they approach the task giver with a respectful attitude.
Although so players thought that it might be worthwhile endeavor to maximize an NPCs’ favorability and gain their trust for a possibly of being given a secret quest, most players still believed that it was not worth the ti and effort and would rather spend their ti hunting mobs instead.
Apart from Alice, the purple-class NPC, most players thought that the other NPCs aren’t really that important thus they didn’t felt the need to get more closer with any of the native elves.
For hardcore players, besides the main questlines that offer huge rewards, teaming up to grind mobs is currently the fastest way to raise one’s level.
Hence, Li Mu was not entirely surprised his videos aren’t that popular.
However, sothing strange happened just now.
Li Mu noticed that the viewership of the series of videos he uploaded had suddenly increased by tenfold!
It was rather odd since the reception was still lukewarm when he went to bed yesterday.
This left him completely puzzled.
“Why did the views and comnts drastically increased so much all of a sudden?”
After a quick scan of the ssages he received, Li Mu found out that many of the comnts were left by players currently participating in the closed beta.
“Congratulations! By watching these video series, you have discovered the hidden treasure of ElvKing!”
This was the highest rated comnt.
“First! Gim so luck guys. Big Bro Mu, you are so amazing!”
This was the second one.
“Damn! you are indeed Brother Mu! I bow to your foresight!”
This was the third one.
“‘NPC’s favorability rating are definitely not useless. ‘The devs will eventually do sothing about the favorability system.’ After watching this video, Xiao Mu, tell us the truth dude…are you really not an insider?”
Li Mu: “…..”
What’s going on?
He was even more confused.
Li Mu then opened a certain group chat on his phone and was surprised to find that this chatroom was also exploding as it was being bombarded by tons of ssages.
He received so many direct ssages, almost all of which were sent by his friends from the offline group chat of his guild, Natural Hearts.
He took a brief glance then opened one of the dm’s and noticed that it ca from Demacia.
“Brother Mu-!!! Help ! Waaaaah… I’m done for! I’m really so done for this ti!!!”
“Please teach the way to quickly build up favorability with the NPCs! Otherwise, I’m gonna be in so much trouble!”
“Oh, and by the way, after you enter the ga, can you help pick up my equipnt? I’m too miserable bro!”
Li Mu: “…..”
What’s this ss?
‘Hmm…? Wait, was the patch update related to the favorability system?’
Li Mu’s eyes lit up.
He took a deep breath, put down his phone, and eagerly entered the ga pod…
“Start ga – ‘Elven Kingdom’!”
After entering the ga, Li Mu finally saw the details of the recent update patch.
Without hesitation, he clicked upon it.
