Chapter 491: Chapter 465: The Night Before the Update (Double-Length)
The giant dragon contract event had ended.
However, for the vast number of players, the excitement brought by the dragon partners was expected to last for a long time.
In the foreseeable future, it seemed that all the magic pets in the “Elf Kingdom” would be overshadowed by the dragons’ glory, with dragons undoubtedly becoming the most coveted contract magic pets representing a player’s high status.
From then on, a silver-level player with a house in the core area of Chosen City, clad in silver or golden legendary equipment, coupled with a dragon magic pet…
That kind of lineup would probably be considered the standard configuration for the top-tier elites in the “Elf Kingdom”!
Of course, the term magic pet was something players mostly discussed privately; they would never mention it in front of dragons.
Because countless players had already been taught a lesson by a hefty beating from Black Dragon Mairrel, as dragons… hated being referred to as magic pets or demon beasts.
The five lucky players who obtained dragon partners had undoubtedly become the focus of the entire server’s attention.
These days, wherever they went with their dragon hatchlings, they drew the attention of countless curious players.
The growth of the hatchlings was indeed rapid.
After just one day, the five players were delighted to find that their dragon partners had grown by about a third overnight…
And their prowess soared rapidly, directly advancing from freshly joining Black Iron Upper to level 40, the pinnacle, under the envious, jealous, and admiring gazes of countless players.
And at that level, combined with their racial advantage, their true strength was already on par with a silver player.
This made countless players as sour as if they had bitten into a lemon.
A powerful magic pet comparable to the silver tier, with extremely high growth potential…
*This was almost invincible, wasn’t it?!*
*It’s practically cheating!*
Not to mention, after signing the partner contract, the growth of the dragon would even benefit the player themselves!
The other four players who reached the silver tier were temporarily not mentioned, since the experience they required for promotion was almost astronomical.
The player who benefited most from the contract with the dragon and made other players the most envious was Dongdong.
This player, originally just a level 29 mage, remarkably rose to level 31 thanks to the dragon’s advancement!
*What is called a big shot…*
*What is really called a Luck King?*
Though the experience needed to go from 29 to 31 wasn’t too terrifying, no ordinary person could level up without grinding for a day or two!
*Comparing people really gets you frustrated.*
Game time always flew by swiftly.
Unknowingly, ten more days had passed in the game.
As time went by, the popularity of the new Oros map began to wane.
Because countless pieces of evidence proved that even though it was a new map, large and interesting, it was merely a low-level map.
In the new map, the highest level demon beast was just silver, and even those were very hard to find.
Perhaps for those who weren’t very high-level players from the fourth test, it was a safe leveling spot, but compared to traveling so far to grind monsters, wasn’t it better to be in the Underworld or Elf Forest?
Therefore, for the majority of players whose main goal was leveling up, they still preferred to go to more efficient places to grind and level up.
Of course, this wasn’t absolute.
There were still many who loved the customs and culture of the “Elf Kingdom,” indulging in the new map’s exploration.
Some even made videos of their travels and uploaded them online.
The views weren’t small either.
Everyone was amazed by the vastness and realism of the “Elf Kingdom” map, its beautiful and majestic scenery, and the profound and authentic customs and culture…
The popularity of the “Elf Kingdom” rose again along with the tide.
Of course, this time it was because of the new map’s beautiful scenery.
Jokes like “This must really be another world,” “We must have traveled through time!” or “This is definitely an alien conspiracy!” once again became popular online.
However, jokes aside, everyone was just expressing their admiration and love for the “Elf Kingdom” in another way.
After all, with a system, a game interface, and the ability to log out at any time, and no official response…
Though the game was scarily real, wasn’t this the ultimate goal of virtual gaming?
For players, this was the “Matrix” they had always dreamed of!
Of course, players would never know that it wasn’t that no official forces had noticed the “Elf Kingdom,” but that Eve had cleverly solved it with various means using her True God’s power through the internet…
For players, they only needed to enjoy this highly free game universe of the “Elf Kingdom” every day and do what a player should do in happiness.
Every day, players could discover new things in the game.
Every day, they could also find new surprises.
Of course, every day they could also fulfill the duties they were supposed to perform…
If one were to rank virtual games developed by major gaming companies on Blue Star so far, “Elf Kingdom” would undoubtedly stand out in every aspect!
*Well… not without a few shortcomings, like the inconveniences brought by too much realism, or the huge map that exhausted you from running, or sometimes unbalanced classes.*
But these were minor issues compared to the strengths of the “Elf Kingdom.”
Meanwhile, more and more people became curious about the World Tree Black Technology Company.
