The improved friendship system is like a bowl of water thrown into a pan of oil, and it immediately causes players to boil.

Some people are happy, and some people are unhappy.

While not getting used to it, some players even shouted on the official website to quit the game.

Of course...... In the end, it's just talking.

While the improved favorability and reputation ratings are harsh, the system generally gives players more bonuses than punishments.

In fact, players who are able to get huge bonuses under the new friendship system are a minority of the few.

The value of NPC favorability is -100 to +100, and Li Mu is the only one who has come into contact with NPCs whose favorability is above 40.

The score of the prestige evaluation is 0 to 100, and among the 1200 players, Li Mu is the only one who can achieve a full score.

Li Mu is an example, in fact, there are very few players who can reach 30 points in general.

So...... For most players, everyone's starting point is still about the same, at least there won't be too much gap between most people.

However, those players with higher prestige do enjoy higher bonuses and are promoted faster.

Therefore, how to improve NPCs' goodwill towards themselves and how to improve their reputation has also become the direction of players' efforts.

However, as they explored further, players discovered that the starting point for everyone's overall reputation evaluation was not actually zero.

The game's system regularly evaluates the player's overall reputation and comes up with an average score.

This average score is the player's initial reputation evaluation, similar to an NPC's overall impression of the Chosen One.

Even if you don't do anything, you can get an average prestige rating.

At the moment, the overall rating of players is 5 points, which is neutral.

On this basis, it will be added or subtracted according to the overall favorability of the individual player and NPCs.

The lowest is 0, lukewarm.

This discovery is a relief for players who are not used to brushing favors.

At least...... As long as they don't bewitch, they can still enjoy the average reputation rating of the players.

This means that even if a player enjoys a higher bonus, they will not be far behind as an average.

Of course, those who die are really miserable.

Not only are you unlucky, but you also have to enjoy the white eyes of other players.

After all...... No one likes to drag their feet.

Humans are highly adaptable creatures.

Players, on the other hand, are more receptive.

After the initial discomfort, gradually the players also accepted the reputation comprehensive rating system.

And those who have high ratings have also become the targets of the major guilds.

Just the benefit of having a high probability of drawing equipment with rare special effects is enough to make most players boil.

While players are accustomed to the comprehensive rating of reputation, Eve has also issued a new main quest.

Different from the previous single mission, this time there are three main quests, namely [Development Forces], [Exploring Rivendell] and [Exploring the Underworld].

And under each main story, there are many branches at the same time, and some branches are also fixed in the form of daily tasks, which can be collected every day.

Players can take on different missions repeatedly according to their needs and preferences.

The main quest of [Development Forces] includes [Crop Planting], [Livestock Breeding], [Resource Collection], [Main City Construction] and other branches, many of which are daily quests......

And the daily task of building the Chosen City has also been included in the branch line of [Main City Construction].

For many of the extra main daily quests, Eve also selected some indigenous elves as new daily quest NPCs as appropriate, and let them be responsible for the distribution of quests.

The NPC of [Livestock Breeding] is the Black Dragon Merrell.

Although the Elven Forest is rich in products, it can't stand the players too much to eat.

Whether it is for the sake of ecological balance or for the perception of believers, the development of aquaculture is necessary.

After knowing the goal of this mission, the little black dragon's eyes lit up and he was instantly excited.

It swore to Eve that it would let the players do it well.

Well...... As long as it is done, it can be allowed to fight occasionally for tooth sacrifices.

The emergence of the [Development Forces] series of quests immediately aroused the interest of many life players who don't like to fight and kill.

At the same time, because the missions in this series are safe, it has also become the first choice for lower-level players.

Many of the quests in this main quest involve development gameplay, which is what these players love.

For a while, many players chose to stay in the Elven Forest and devote themselves to the cause of development and construction.

In particular, the "Meng Meng Committee", which has a large number of life players, is the most.

After completing the human caravan quest, Salty Meow obtained some seeds for suspected crops, and some interested druid players took them and began to cultivate them.

Others began to travel to various parts of the Elven Forest with the assistance of the black dragon Merrell, looking for the cubs of the monsters, especially those that grew quickly, had a lot of meat, and were easy to feed...... They intend to explore the aquaculture industry.

And so on and so forth......

The main story of [Development Force] attracts players in the life department, while [Explore Rivendell] and [Explore the Underworld] attract players who love adventure and combat.

This group of players has the largest number of players out of 1,200.

They took on the task one after another and set off on their own adventures.

Among them, the main line of [Exploring Rivendell] can be divided into [Ancient Book Search], [Ore Vein Exploration] and other branch lines.

And [Explore the Underground World] has [Mapping] [Monster Detection] and other branches.

Because there are no daily quests in the side quests of these two main quests, Eve does not arrange NPCs for these quests, but directly relies on the game system to claim them.

Of course, the more important reason is that these tasks involve the expansion of power, and the early expansion comes with risks, so Eve must personally control it.

And as players explore, Rivendell and the underworld gradually unravel a corner of the mystery.

The first is Rivendell.

As the manufacturing capital of the elven civilization thousands of years ago, there should theoretically be a lot of elven relics left here.

Sadly, though, Rivendell seems to have gone through human looting.

As players explore, they find that there aren't many useful things they can find.

At least...... On the surface, the places that can be explored are almost all hollowed out.

However, as players explore further, they gradually find new ground.

Rivendell was built in a valley, and when it was split in half by an unknown force thousands of years ago, part of the city was buried by rocks.

A thousand years have passed, and this part of the city has long been buried underground.

While exploring, players are delighted to discover that these areas have not been raided by humans.

As they explored, they found a large amount of discarded equipment, all of which were buried deep in the ruins, and players speculated that it was probably because they were almost destroyed and therefore not taken by human adventurers.

In addition, gradually players also discovered more elven crafts, and even some ancient forging equipment, tools, etc......

Although most of them have been damaged after a thousand years, some of them appear to be in good condition and have been shipped back by the players.

If you can use it, you can use it, and if you can't use it, sacrifice it to the goddess to recycle the contribution.

And in the process of exploring, players also finally encounter the monsters that live here.

Contrary to what players imagined, they thought that Rivendell was connected to the underworld, and there should be a lot of strange underground creatures as well.

But in reality, there is only one kind of monster that players encounter -

Spider.

It is a spider covered in pitch-black armor, with a tough, metal-like shell and legs covered in steel needle-like hair.

They vary in size, the small ones are the size of a washbasin, and they are about the same strength as goblins.

The big ones are almost adults, with hideous sickle-like teeth, and their strength has even reached the black iron level.

They are entrenched in the depths of Rivinedell, and the further they go, the more they encounter.

After identification, players learned that this spider is called the Crypt Spider, which is an underground creature with dark attributes, with extremely sticky spider silk and sharp fangs, and the larger spider is also highly poisonous.

They feed on other weak underground creatures or ores, and their entire skeleton is mineralized and extremely strong.

Unlike goblins, goblins are barely half intelligent creatures, but these spiders are complete monsters.

In addition to the hard shell, they act on instinct.

However, because of the hard shells, players have encountered a lot of difficulties when cleaning them.

Ordinary physical attacks, almost ineffective against them.

Fortunately, after groping around, players found that these spiders are afraid of light and fire.

After that, players will find a good way to destroy them.

This is to lure them into a pre-dug cave, then throw a light to temporarily incapacitate them, and then throw fireballs down when the player jumps out of the cave.

Burn them.

However, this method can only be used against small spiders.

And for those large spiders, there is no way.

Large spiders are very fast, have stingers, and although they are afraid of light and fire, they also have a certain amount of patience and tenacious vitality.

In addition, they can drive the spiders to charge......

A large spider usually attracts more than a dozen small spiders.

When encountering them, unless the player is outnumbered, they can only run......

And as players continue to explore Rivendell, they encounter more and more spiders.

This makes players wonder if the reason why humans haven't explored deeply is because of the existence of crypt spiders.

Still, that didn't dampen their enthusiasm.

Because, killing spiders will also get a lot of experience!

There's experience and there's treasure!

Rivendell has become a carnival for adventurous players.

However, unlike Rivendell, where the quest was in full swing, the exploration of the underworld suffered a setback.

Rivendell has a large cavern that connects to the underworld.

It's also the starting point for players to explore the underworld.

And as soon as the players enter the cave, they run into a big problem......

They came across a giant spider that was five or six meters wide!

All attacks were ineffective against the opponent, even the Fireball Technique, which only left a few marks on its carapace......

However, it has the speed of the wind and the power of its attacks, making it easy to catch up and kill heavily armed players.

Even the lunch box team was completely wiped out by it during the attack......

Players speculate that this spider guarding the door is likely to have the strength of silver!

Not only that, but this giant crypt spider has three large spiders and hundreds of small spiders......

Players are no match for them at all.

"It seems that we can only ask the black dragon Merrell to take action again."

In the end, the players had to hit the little black dragon with their minds.

It's just that when they found the black dragon who was in a hurry and led a group of players around the Elven Forest to find the nest of the monster and rob the cubs, the little black dragon refused......

"Crypt spiders? How many meters in size? ”

Merrell's face changed.

"Don't go! Don't go! I'm not going! I'm going to send you to death! ”

It shook its head and flew away.

The black dragon who has always been arrogant...... It turned out to be cowardly.

Only a group of players are left staring wide-eyed.

That big guy underground...... Even the black dragon is afraid?

Shouldn't it?

I don't think it's as powerful as the two fool dragons......

However, the little black dragon is unwilling, and the players have no choice.

At last...... They had no choice but to give up the exploration of the underworld for the time being, and instead continue to explore Rivendell in depth.

And the box lunch, also led his team, no longer going to the cave, but going deep into the ruins of the elves.

This time, he took over the side quest of [Vein Exploration].

It's just different from before, this time...... He had an extra small tail behind him.
