In the blink of an eye, it was dusk.

In the forest of elves, ancient trees of various shapes are towering into the clouds, the branches are staggered, and the flourishing branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun.

The golden sunset shines through the shade of the trees, like twinkling stars, revealing an unpredictable silence.

A melodious chant rang out, and several tough vines burst out of the dirt, flew from all directions, and wrapped themselves around a tall old tree.

Li Mu put down the staff in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said behind him:

"It's fixed!"

“Nice！ Winding is just easy to use! ”

"Hey, don't worry about accidentally killing someone when the tree falls!"

"Poof...... Demacia, you're just unlucky, you're standing in the wrong place, or why you're the one who gets smashed every time. ”

"Get out!"

"Hahaha!"

Several elves in linen armor rushed up to the base of the ancient tree with their wooden knives while making noise......

"It's a weird feeling...... It's the goddess and the world tree, but our task is to cut down the tree......"

"It should be that the goddess is not in good shape, you see that the world tree is withered."

"But the most important thing in this forest is wood, and the goddess doesn't care, right?"

"Hardcore Deity ......"

"It's just a game, don't take it too seriously."

"Uh...... If you don't mention it, I'll almost forget it's a game......"

Players chat and work at the same time.

They are Li Mu's teammates.

After handing in the task for the first time, in order to do daily work more efficiently, Li Mu united several players to form a team.

With a burst of "one, two, three" shouts and chopping sounds, the ancient trees that were dozens of meters high shook slightly, and then became more and more violent......

"Let's push! Fast! One! Two! Three......! ”

"It's broken! It's broken! ”

In the midst of a cheer, the huge ancient tree shook slightly, and finally fell, startling a flock of birds......

And several elves rushed up again, took out their wooden knives and slashed, and one after another brilliant sword skills flashed, and they divided the ancient trees into sections, like serious lumberjacks.

"This tree is enough for a few of us, right?"

Several people said while wiping their sweat.

"Enough, this tree is huge, I suspect we won't be able to move it all in one trip."

Li Mu said as he and the others carried the segmented ancient wood together.

This is his sixth mission, and his efficiency has increased a lot after teaming up with several other players.

Before he knew it, Li Mu had been playing in the game for a whole day.

To be precise, it was a day of cutting down trees.

Glancing at his character card, the corners of his mouth rose:

"By the time I'm done with this mission, I should be able to reach level 5."

"! Big guy! ”

"Liver Emperor! It's only been almost a day, right? It only takes three or four hours to convert to Blue Star, and you're going to be level 5? ”

"It's worthy of Brother Mu!"

Several players immediately looked over with a look of adoration.

Lee grinned, a hint of a smile appeared on his handsome face, and explained:

"Luckily, after the first mission, I found a light-friendly sunshade, and Alice directly gave me 300 experience points."

"Emperor Ou!"

"The golden one at the entrance to the camp?"

There was envy, jealousy and hatred all around.

"That's great! Why am I so unlucky?,Every time I received a task before, it was to clean the temple.,The experience value is pitiful.,Later, I finally picked up a wood-collecting person.,And was killed by a downed tree a few times.,The experience is all emptied.。 ”

The elf with the four green words "Demacia" said with a grudge.

"Hahahaha, maybe you're a non-chief! Hahahaha! ”

"In a sense, every time you can be stoned to death by falling wood, you can be regarded as a very talented."

"Take off your clothes as soon as you open the service, and take the initiative to tease Alice, and I will serve you on the whole server."

"I said 'Demacia', how much do you have a good relationship with Alice now?"

Demacia glanced at the system bar, his two pointed ears drooped, he touched his explosive head, and said with some weakness:

"Negative...... Minus 100 ......"

"Hahahaha!"

"You're going to laugh at me, hahahaha!"

"No wonder you get a garbage quest every time, hahahaha......"

"No, I guess it's purely his black face......"

Amid laughter and laughter, a free logging team of several players carried the wood back to the camp under the World Tree.

The camp was originally a low shrub, but at this point the players have cleared a large open area.

Dozens of players are working in pairs and threes to build houses out of chopped wood and collected stones.

More than a dozen wooden houses of different shapes are simple, but they have faintly taken shape; And even faster, a double-storey wooden building has been built.

Looking at the decent building, Demacia couldn't help but sigh:

"Talent! The house was built in such a short time! ”

"Because of skills! Not to mention, sometimes magic and sword skills really work, and the higher the level, the greater the strength, and the more you can do......"

Someone explained.

"Of course, design is also key."

As he spoke, he pointed to the center of the construction site, where stood a tall pink-haired female elf in a robe, holding a drawing made of unknown materials, and was gesturing with several other players, with three green Chinese characters for "Gugu Bird" displayed above her head:

"See? The young lady over there called 'Coo Gu Bird' is the real boss, it is said that in reality it is Jinghua who studied civil engineering, and several of these houses were designed by her. It seems that she is about to reach level 5 with the help of construction tasks. ”

Li Mu glanced over there in surprise and secretly remembered the three words "Coogu Bird". Other players were in an uproar:

"Oh my God! It's less than a day! ”

"Yes, I heard that she is also planning to design an elven town with a few other players who are learning city rules and gardens...... And has already obtained the permission of the goddess oracle. ”

"I'll go, talent!"

"Real-life knowledge changes destiny ......"

"That's too true, isn't it?"

"I can see now that the real purpose of this mission is to let us build towns, right?"

"Poof, it's really a revival of the elves! The newbie village was built by our beta players. ”

"Is the official so lazy?"

"It's called engagement!"

"Actually, I think tree holes and elves are more compatible...... And cutting down trees or something, I always feel that it is not 'natural'. ”

"Maybe there's a deeper meaning?"

“……”

Eve doesn't have any deeper meaning, he just wants to save his strength and absorb a little life force, after all, now his life is at stake, and everything else can be put in the future.

Besides, he did not believe in gods, but an ancient god who directly controlled the forces of nature, and did not have to strictly abide by the rules of the priesthood.

Do you want to build a beginner's village......

Listening to the player's discussion, Li Mu was thoughtful.

Carrying a piece of wood, he and his teammates made it to the center of the camp.

A bonfire had been lit in the center of the camp, and several elven players were talking and laughing around the flames, nibbling on fruit that they had picked from nowhere.

Alice, the Saint of Nature, stood aside, busily handing out and settling tasks with the players.

For ease of movement, she pulled her long blonde hair into a high ponytail and looked focused. The fair face was stained with a few stains, and the beads of sweat were shining in the light of the flames, which was very cute.

The group came to the front of the girl and settled the task.

Alice raised her head and saw a few people, especially Li Muhou among them, her eyes lit up slightly:

"Mission accomplished?"

She was impressed by the male elf, the Chosen One, who was thin but had worked hard and found a fine sunwood.

Also, he is polite and not at all like some rude guys......

Catching a glimpse of a red-haired exploding head in the team, Alice's smile faded and she snorted softly, while Demacia snorted and hid behind Li Mu in a somewhat curtled manner.

It seems that with the addition of naked * running and flirting, the girl remembers him completely.

Li Mu coughed, and said in a respectful voice:

"Miss Alice, we're here to hand in the task."

Alice looked back, and her eyes lit up when she saw the wood they were carrying:

"Good quality pine!"

She nodded to a few people:

"Put it in the timber section, your mission is done."

As soon as the voice fell, several people received the system's prompt tone at the same time, and immediately let out a burst of cheers.

Looking at the 150 points of experience received, Li Mu was overjoyed.

It's time to upgrade!

After thanking Alice, Li Mu left the mission with a few people.

Along the way, several teammates chattered:

"Brother Mu, that's amazing! How do I feel that Alice has such a good attitude towards you! ”

"Brother Mu, how much do you and Alice feel so much!"

Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said:

"It's not much, it's only 20 o'clock."

As soon as they heard this, several players immediately exploded.

"! It's already very high, okay? I'm only 2 o'clock! ”

"What is 2? I'm negative, and I've been working hard for a long time. ”

"Don't say it, a few of us are also negative, and we have done many tasks, so it stands to reason that the favor should be able to be raised, but Alice has never smiled at us......"

"I've heard that there are quite a few female players on the side."

"The goodwill system is too difficult......"

"Don't sell miserably, I didn't say anything about minus a hundred......"

"You did it yourself, who told you to touch someone's hair?"

"Brother Mu, how did you achieve the friendship between you and Miss Saint? Why did I only get 1 point of favor when I did a mission! ”

Li Mu didn't answer immediately, he walked slowly to a wooden stake, patted his ass and sat down.

The sky has completely darkened, the pure night sky is extremely deep, and the stars in the sky form a magnificent galaxy, bright and mysterious......

The bonfire was blazing, crackling, and flickering.

Many of the construction and wood gathering players have stopped, and they are talking and laughing around the flames, eating fruits gathered from the forest.

There are also players who hold a party around the bonfire, singing and dancing at the same time, and some people even make bagpipes out of what material they use, and play music to accompany them.

The whole camp was enveloped in a cheerful and lively atmosphere, bustling and joyful, like a festival.

Looking at all this, Li Mu's eyes were slightly in a trance.

He picked up a purple-green berry he had just picked on the road and put it in his mouth.

With a light bite, the milky white juice overflows, and the sweet fragrance is slightly acidic.

The evening breeze blows in the forest, blowing the campfires in shadows, and the players laugh one after another, like a dream...... Everything seems to be far away from the pure land of the world.

He sat quietly on a stake, staring at everything in front of him.

This feeling is very amazing, different from any previous virtual online games, Li Mu feels as if he is not playing a game, but participating in an interesting large-scale outdoor camping in reality.

A group of people who don't know each other, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, away from the frustration in reality, come here together, work together, and have fun together......

All this is like an unreal dream.

This dream is so illusory and beautiful......

Taking a deep breath, Li Mu felt that his heart was unprecedentedly calm at this moment, and all his troubles were left behind by him.

After a moment of silence, he explained:

"It should be, a sense of substitution."

"Don't you think it's a game, but it's also a world?"
