Who would have thought, they didn’t choose the core area of the Elf Forest, but went straight to the Beautiful City of Kenolan.
As she thought about it, Eve walked slowly toward the players.
With her movement, many players doing other things also gathered around, warmly greeting her and eagerly asking if there were any quests available.
This was the other thing that gave Eve a bit of a headache...
Ever since she released a few hidden quests as Divine Favored Zero, in the players’ minds, Divine Favored Zero had become almost as significant as the Goddess.
Wherever she went, there was always a group of players wanting to be her loyal followers...
Flattering, gifting, pledging... even confessing.
Any method or subtle tricks that players could think of to increase their favorability, she had personally experienced as an NPC...
*How should I say this.*
*Eve felt that her current persona had completely become a big light bulb, illuminating wherever she went, attracting players like moths.*
In the beginning, it felt pretty cool.
*After all... even though she was reborn as a True God, she was just an ordinary person in her previous life, still quite young, with a bit of ridiculous vanity.*
But after it happened many times, *it started to feel a bit tiresome.*
However, she had gotten used to operating under the identity of Divine Favored Zero and had not considered creating a new persona.
Of course, this was also because this identity was like a coin, it had two sides. Though it made some things more complicated, it also had its advantages.
"May I have a look at the new weapons you invented?"
She approached the player holding a modified steam gun and asked softly.
The player with the steam gun was overjoyed when she spoke to him.
Under the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of the onlookers, he almost shoved the steam gun into Eve’s hands.
"Of course, big sis! No... Lord Ling! You can look at it however you want!"
The player said flatteringly.
Eve’s mouth twitched imperceptibly, then she picked up the steam gun.
At this moment, the steam gun had changed significantly compared to when players initially purchased it from the dwarves.
The original steam gun was cumbersome since steam was its primary power source. However, after the players’ modifications, the gun was now very similar to early matchlock guns on Blue Star.
No, it could no longer be called a steam gun.
As soon as she got it, Eve immediately saw through the construction of the modified steam gun.
The current steam gun was not steam-driven anymore.
Of course, it wasn’t driven by gunpowder like on Blue Star either.
The steam gun now ran on Magic Power!
It shouldn’t be called a steam gun; it should be a Magic Gun.
Players had inscribed some small basic Magic Arrays on the gun. Though these basic arrays weren’t complicated, they replicated the principles of early firearms from Blue Star using the principles of magic...
*Such an approach made Eve’s eyes light up,* thinking the players were indeed geniuses.
Firstly, using Magic Power allowed players to control the gun directly with their magic.
This meant that the skills of Battle Priests could be successfully activated, counted as personally killing by players, allowing them to gain experience rewards.
Moreover, using Magic Power for control meant that some of the players’ skills could be seamlessly applied as well.
Especially the archers’ [Heart Arrow]!
It could be said that the current Magic Gun could completely replace bows and arrows.
Of course, there was also a problem with this...
That was the power of the Magic Gun would be directly proportional to the player’s strength and magic output.
If a player’s strength was lacking, the Magic Gun would just be a toy.
However, in Eve’s view, this was actually a breakthrough.
This was the result of the fusion of Blue Star’s technology with the magic technology of Segis World.
It should be noted that if weapons were faithfully replicated from Blue Star’s technology, although anyone could wield them, the power would be fixed.
Moreover, due to the players’ limitations, they couldn’t recreate the powerful firearm weapons from Blue Star.
Even if they did, in a world with magic, purely kinetic firearms could be easily countered in many ways.
For example, a Magic Shield that blocks kinetic energy could turn all firearms from Blue Star into nothing more than wooden sticks...
But when ordinary kinetic energy was transformed into kinetic energy imbued with magic, it offered a lot of room for maneuvering.
Thinking of this, Eve also faintly saw the future of archer players.
Although Magic Guns were tied to personal strength, compared to bows and arrows, firearms were actually more convenient for aiming and outputting force.
Given time, most archer players will likely switch to using new weapons.
"Hmm... This technology isn’t hard, I could easily replicate it, and even have some ideas for further improvement..."
"Let’s wait and see, maybe in the future, I can also make some Magic Guns and put them in the exchange store."
Eve pondered in her heart.
She examined the Magic Gun for a moment and fired a shot, hitting a deserted stone pillar several hundred meters away in the ruins, drawing astonished exclamations from the players.
However, Eve didn’t think much of it.
She hadn’t used guns before, but she knew how to use magic, and her Soul Power was incredibly strong...
Therefore, even if she didn’t know how to use it, the Magic Gun was like a toy in her hands, and she could easily hit her target with a bit of focus.
This was unimaginable for her former self.
*It could only be said that a True God was indeed a True God, even if the power was inherited...*
After playing with the Magic Gun for a while, Eve returned it to the player.
"Lord Ling, how is it?"
"Lord Ling, how’s the feel of using it?"
The players looked at Eve with anticipation.
Eve pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously, praising:
"A very impressive invention. You all are amazing."
Hearing her praise, the players’ faces lit up with joy, extremely excited.
However, soon, they once more gazed at her expectantly, eyes full of anticipation, like good children waiting for a reward.
She pondered for a moment, gently using her Divine Power.
And in an instant, all the players involved in modifying the gun received a new system message:
[The improved weapon you helped invent received recognition from Divine Favored Zero]
[Divine Favored Zero’s favor towards you increased by 10 points]
[You received 10,000 experience points, and 5,000 contribution points]
Seeing the new system message, the players were momentarily stunned, then burst into cheers:
"Haha, modifying the steam gun actually comes with rewards!"
"And favorability! Awesome!"
"Wow... The reward is quite generous!"
"I love you, big sis!"
Her mouth twitched again slightly, not responding to the players’ words.
Anyway, the persona of Divine Favored Zero was supposed to be aloof.
"If there are similar inventions in the future, let’s reward them too. After all... if the rewards are generous, it could also encourage players to make more inventions."
Eve thought to herself.
Perhaps someday, the players might leave this world.
But while people could leave, the technology would stay.
These new technologies would become the new wealth of the Elf Clan...
Watching the excited players, Eve felt joyful as well.
Just at that moment, she suddenly sensed some faint prayers.
The prayer seemed urgent and uneasy, carrying a trace of fearful despair.
Eve furrowed her brows slightly.
Her figure flickered and, watched without surprise by the players, vanished from the spot, returning to the Divine Country.
"As expected of big sis, always so elusive."
"Ah... I was hoping to chat a bit more..."
Leaving the players to lament regretfully.
