Lan Xiaoyin was the only player in the elf canyon and naturally fully utilized this advantage. He tried hard to gain enough favorability from the NPCs before other players arrived.
Among them, the thigh he wanted to hug the most was naturally the elf queen! No, she should be called the patriarch now.
However, the patriarch’s thigh wasn’t something that could be hugged just because he wanted to do so.
The patriarch might be a little girl who was only seven or eight years old, but she was much harder than coaxing a girlfriend!
The point was that Lan Xiaoyin had nothing to use to please her.
It was because what the little patriarch, Asheng, liked most was to listen to people sing!
After the elves scattered all over Roland returned one after another, they were all asked by the clan leader to sing. They had to sing a different song for her appreciation every day and they had to sing well.
Using the advantage of the real world, Lan Xiaoyin had no shortage of song lists. The problem was—
It was difficult for him to sing himself!
Lan Xiaoyin wasn’t tone deaf, but compared to the indigenous elves who were all gods of singing, the songs sung by the fake elf were hard to listen to.
He didn’t dare to take risks in front of the clan leader because singing might have the opposite effect and cause him to lose the goodwill he already had.
He also tried to provide song scores for other elves to sing and asked them to mention his name in front of the little clan leader after they finished singing.
The elves were very loyal and helped him after singing, but the little clan leader didn’t fall for it at all.
Listening to songs was just listening to songs. The favorability didn’t increase at all.
The key point was that the little patriarch obviously liked the playlist he provided, and she could occasionally be heard humming it.
Lan Xiaoyin was really angry.
He had never encountered an NPC whose favorability was so difficult to increase!
Fortunately, the elder had quickly held an awakening ceremony after the elf clan was rebuilt. His bottleneck was broken and he could finally continue to level up.
The experience points he had accumulated allowed him to go up three levels in a row and he reached level 8.
However, he was already far behind compared to the human players whose level had reached level 35 or above.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t have much pursuit of leveling, he would probably be sick to death. Now he could only comfort himself that at least the forest elves had great potential!
Moreover, their clan had a sacred object like the Tree of Life. The closer they were to the Tree of Life, the higher the concentration of elements and the faster he could train.
It wasn’t just experience points. His skill levels also increased faster.
Lan Xiaoyin especially wanted a leaf from the Tree of Life. It must be a rare treasure!
He tried to approach secretly several times but was warned by the system. The Tree of Life was self-aware. It was still very weak so no elves other than the patriarch were allowed to approach.
That place had been designated as a forbidden area. If he approached by force, he would probably be expelled from the elf clan.
It was difficult and risky, so Lan Xiaoyin gave up the idea after hesitating.
Then why was this Panda Breeder brought into the Roland Palace by Chamo and the little merfolk prince as soon as he appeared? Not only did he live in the palace, but he also received gifts from their little clan leader.
In addition, this gift turned out to be the leaf of the Tree of Life that he had longed for! Who could bear this gap?
Then something happened that made Lan Xiaoyin even more jealous.
Just as he was shouting in the post, Pander Breeder updated again:
[Ahhh, I just discovered that my main mission called ‘Search for the Missing Crown Prince’ has been completed! Wow, the rewards are so rich. There is even gold quality equipment!]
Lan Xiaoyin’s eyes turned green as he looked at the picture of the golden outfit just posted. He couldn’t help thinking about the reward for his own main question.
Finally, he couldn’t help going crazy!
[Grumpy Little Bunny, let’s duel!!!]
Xu Sili couldn’t see the reality forum, or he would’ve watched and enjoyed such an interesting post.
Grumpy Little Rabbit was allowed to live in the palace purely due to Sea Song.
This child was separated from his clan before and came to the human world where he was rescued by Chamo.
He might’ve gradually adapted to life in the human world and usually didn’t show anything, but this little guy immediately showed a difference when he met his clan member.
He must’ve missed his family very much. Now that he finally saved a member of his own race, he naturally attached great importance to it.
Fortunately, after getting to know him, Xu Sili found that Grumpy Little Rabbit was actually quite well-behaved. He had a kind and shy personality. He should be quite young in real life.
After the temptation, Xu Sili agreed to temporarily let him stay in Joan’s palace to recuperate.
But he still couldn’t run around without permission.
Xu Sili learned some things about the situation in the sea from the boy.
The reason why the merfolk were called sea elves was because they were indeed a branch of the elves. They also had a Tree of Life.
Yes!
A Tree of Life growing at the bottom of the sea!
It was said that millions of years ago, the only elves on Escher Star were forest elves.
They relied on the Tree of Life to thrive in the vast jungle. According to rumors, there was more than one Tree of Life.
As a powerful and long-lived race, there were hardly any races on the continent that dared to provoke the elves easily.
However, the good times didn’t last long. Eventually, a natural disaster struck and almost annihilated the elves.
In order to preserve themselves, they split into three branches, each carrying a Tree of Life. They wandered on the continent in search of a new habitat.
Finally, they evolved into the forest elves, grassland elves and sea elves. Of course, in the legend, there were also dark elves who abandoned the Tree of Life.
The race might’ve continued on after the split, but the strength of the elves was severely damaged. Later, they gradually declined. They were even hunted and sold by the humans who were once the most despised.
The elves didn’t give up. After millions of years of reproduction, the situation had been improving. However, the natural disaster a hundred years ago once again put the elves in danger of annihilation.
According to known information, there were less than a hundred forest elves left, more than 30 sea elves left and the grassland elves had disappeared without a trace. As for the dark elves, there was no way to know.
Xu Sili couldn’t help sighing after learning about the history of the elves.
The elf race was too miserable!
Now the clan of sea elves had fallen. The protective circle was destroyed and seawater poured in. This not only destroyed the residence of the sea elves but also brought dangerous marine interstellar beasts.
If it wasn’t for the protection of the Tree of Life, the sea elves would’ve been exterminated directly. It was just that their current situation wasn’t optimistic.
After listening to the description from Grumpy Little rabbit, Chamo couldn’t help feeling heavy. Sea Song, who was quite happy at first, suddenly wilted. This made Grumpy Little Rabbit inevitably feel a bit guilty.
Xu Sili had seen the future forum and knew that the merfolk in that timeline were particularly miserable.
It wasn’t until a few years later that players could enter the sea. By that time, almost all the merfolk NPCs had died. In the end, only the sea elves played by players were left.
In this life, he naturally couldn’t let that tragedy happen again.
Around a week later, Bazel was responsible for the production of the underwater breathing potions and had successfully produced 5,000 bottles.
He also didn’t give up on improving the recipe. He had already developed a potion that could last for an hour every time.
However, this potion was more difficult and no player had been able to make it yet.
5,000 bottles was only enough for 100 people to stay on the seabed for 25 hours. This was far from enough for fighting.
But Xu Sili had his own plans.
Once everything was ready, he finally issued the task of saving the sea elves’ land to the top 10 players on the player list today.
After receiving the mission, these players opened posts on the forum to show off.
[Hahaha, underwater adventure, here I come!]
[100 bottles of underwater breathing potion for free! Cool!]
[Ahhh. I’m so envious. When are you leaving? Be sure to start a livestream!]
Xu Sili had already redeemed the submarine blueprint through the future forum. Now Teacher Aine was working hard to make a prototype based on the blueprint. It would take some time to complete.
He didn’t want to wait any longer. The sea elves also couldn’t afford to wait any longer.
Therefore, this first batch of braves who entered the water didn’t have any vehicles. The only ones they could rely on were probably Chamo and Sea Song.
On the beach, the 11 braves were ready to go.
Grumpy Little Rabbit didn’t need the underwater breathing potion. But looking at the 10 braves around him, he felt that they were a bit unreliable.
What could they do at the bottom of the sea with just the 13 of them? It wasn’t enough for the sea beasts to fill their teeth! The horror he had experienced was truly no joke.
The most important thing was—Sea Song and Chamo seemed to be going too! They were NPCs and couldn’t be resurrected if they died.
Grumpy Little Rabbit was a bit anxious. He tried to persuade Chamo. “Lord Chamo, why don’t you and the little prince stay on the shore and wait for us. The bottom of the sea is too dangerous. You can easily have an accident if you go.”
Chamo gave him a strange look.
After getting along with him these days, he had already seen that Grumpy Little Rabbit was very similar to the weird elf called Blue Mark, in other words, similar to the braves.
He tested it and knew that this rabbit had the same magical resurrection technique as the braves.
He didn’t say much. He just nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Sea Song and I won’t go down. This mission depends on you.”
What?
Grumpy Little Rabbit was stunned for a moment. Then he asked, “Do you… want me to take them back to the clan?”
As for how? Of course, how he came here was how he would go back!
The boy’s face turned pale as he thought of the inhumane experiences in the past two months.
Chamo patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry. You aren’t alone this time. Using the leaves of the Tree of Life, you can sense the direction of the clan more clearly.”
The Tree of Life in the land of the sea elves was still alive. There was a special connection between the Trees of Life.
As long as they were in the same sea and had a leaf of the Tree of Life, they couldn’t get lost.
“In addition to guiding you, the leaves of the Tree of Life can also protect you. There are only three chances. Once you suffer three fatal injuries, it will lose its function.”
“You have to use it with caution.”
Chamo gave him some more instructions before finally putting a necklace around the boy’s neck.
“This is equipment with the function of concealing aura. It will protect you from being discovered by sea beasts.”
“Go, young man. Start your journey to the sea!”
Grumpy Little Rabbit’s eyes went dark when he heard this and he almost fainted.
