Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 206 - 200 Black Dragon Returns

Chapter 206: Chapter 200 Black Dragon Returns

“Elf Kingdom” was scheduled for its third beta test on July 25, recruiting a total of 9,000 players!

Eve didn’t leave much time for beta test sign-ups. In fact… when she announced the third test, it was already July 20 on Blue Star.

Five days until the third test was quite a surprising announcement for the netizens on Blue Star.

However, as a large-scale virtual MMORPG with cutting-edge technology like accelerated cognition, as well as freedom and realism recognized by many netizens, “Elf Kingdom” had long attracted a massive fan base.

Once this news quietly appeared on the official website, it immediately caught the attention of netizens who had been keeping an eye on it daily for beta test notifications.

In an instant, major game forums and news sites picked up this news. Numerous well-known game streamers, video producers, and influencers quickly shared it, expressing their anticipation for the third beta test of “Elf Kingdom.”

All of a sudden, “Elf Kingdom” once again made headlines on major websites, drawing the attention of netizens. Its level of discussion was even starting to surpass that of the initial days of the first beta test.

This virtual reality game, whose online popularity had slightly dipped after a month of calm, swiftly returned to the peak of its popularity!

9,000 people! That was no small number.

Compared to the 300 people selected from tens of thousands for the first test, and the 900 people chosen from thousands for the second test, the chances of being selected this time were significantly higher with 9,000 slots available.

For a while, many netizens flooded the official website of “Elf Kingdom,” registering for the third beta test in hopes of being among the 9,000 lucky ones.

In just a day, the number of sign-ups for the third beta test of Elf Kingdom exceeded 300,000.

And by the second day, the number of sign-ups surged further, directly surpassing two million!

Yet, the number of sign-ups showed no sign of stopping, still rapidly increasing…

The number of comments below the official announcement also skyrocketed as if on a rocket…

“Hahaha! Look at what I came across! The damned game finally released the third beta test! Waking up early every day to check the forums wasn’t in vain!”

“Wow! The third test finally began! I was dying from waiting!”

“I could only watch beta players’ videos every day; I was so jealous!”

“Though I haven’t entered the game, I’ve already fallen into the pit by watching videos. I’ve signed up immediately, hoping the Luck King could possess me!”

“Caught off guard… I missed the sign-up time when the second test info came out. I can’t miss it this time!”

“9,000 people… That’s quite a lot! Feels like there’s a chance!”

“Praying to the Goddess in the front row, hoping to get a beta slot!”

It wasn’t just the netizens who were thrilled. Upon learning about the third beta test, the beta players also got excited:

“Haha, finally some new people are falling into the pit.”

“9,000 people in one go! That’s great!”

“Awesome, it felt like manpower was a bit lacking after the map expanded. This beta news is so timely.”

“Hehe, there’ll be labor to help us do the dirty work!”

“When the third test opens, the player count will be over ten thousand, right? Legion battles won’t be just a dream! Just thinking about it excites me…”

“July 25, huh? Five more days, can’t wait!”

Eve was astonished by the popularity of “Elf Kingdom” in the Blue Star Dynasty.

She knew the “game” she tinkered with had already achieved both popularity and reputation in Tianchao. After all, its solid core strength was there, unmatched by other games.

Furthermore, on various video platforms, there were daily uploads from beta players, garnering high click rates!

Yet, even though she understood “Elf Kingdom” was already popular, she didn’t expect it to be this popular…

However, the game’s massive success was a good thing for Eve!

This time, she continued to screen applicants according to the information filled out during sign-ups, primarily choosing those with long-term online gaming records.

As Eve was joyfully relying on the system to sift through and select quality “chives” on a large scale, she suddenly heard a murmuring prayer…

Feeling a stirring in her heart, she immediately diverted her attention from the internet and focused on the Divine Country Space.

Above the sky of the Divine Country, a bright star of faith twinkled non-stop, and Eve heard a clear, rough prayer:

“True God, Mairrel has returned! Mairrel traded for so many treasures! Cows! Sheep! Chickens! Mairrel bought them all back!”

It was the Little Black Dragon.

The prayer was filled with barely contained excitement.

“Mairrel? Did that guy really buy them back?”

Eve felt a stirring in her heart, genuinely surprised.

More than ten days ago, Black Dragon Mairrel volunteered to go to the Human World to buy some livestock breed stock, and Eve casually agreed.

However, Eve didn’t hold much hope.

After all, it was a Black Dragon!

With its terrifying appearance and the notorious reputation of Black Dragons, it would likely be targeted as an evil big boss and get surrounded and attacked once it reached the Human World. As for making deals… Eve didn’t really think it was feasible.

But now it seemed like this guy had indeed made some gains?

Thinking of this, Eve immediately projected her consciousness and “saw” through Black Dragon Mairrel’s vision…

At this moment, the Little Black Dragon was circling and dancing in the air, occasionally letting out jubilant screeches of “rua~.”

It had already arrived near the boundary between the Elf Forest and the Dark Mountain Range but hadn’t progressed further into the Black Dragon Castle’s region and was merely circling in the sky.

Below it was a long convoy.

The convoy was composed of livestock, including cows and sheep, numbering no less than 300 in total!

Eve even noticed several ox carts loaded with wooden cages among the convoy, filled with poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese!

Did it really buy them back? And such a large quantity?!

Eve was incredibly shocked.

She knew how much general currency Mairrel had acquired from the players. It was basically just the loot from the Sorren Caravan mercenaries, totaling less than a thousand silver coins.

But… was the purchasing power of the general currency really that high?!

The chickens, ducks, and geese didn’t matter. But hundreds of cows and sheep?!

However, soon… Eve noticed something amiss.

The entire convoy, apart from the livestock and poultry, was accompanied by over a dozen humans assisting in driving the carts and herding the cows and sheep.

They wore shabby clothes, many patched, except for one leading person whose attire looked slightly tidier. The others appeared rather wretched.

These humans had dark circles around their eyes, pale faces, and their expressions were filled with confusion and fear.

Eve: …

*It felt like… Mairrel might have plundered them?*
