Game of the World Tree

Chapter 14: They Were the Best Laborers

They were abnormal. They were absolutely abnormal!

Why were the elected like this?!

Alice felt her brain becoming increasingly more chaotic.

After a while, a pale green light appeared on the branch of the world. A human-shaped light slowly formed.

A moment later, a figure with red exploding hair whose whole body radiated holy light came out from it. It was Demasia, the unlucky man who had just been struck by Alice.

He gasped while saying in fear:

“Gosh… She scared me to death. This non-player character’s force is so considerable… Fortunately, I reduced my feeling of pain in advance…”

Resurrected… He had been resurrected?!

Looking at the familiar figure, Alice was a little dazed.

“Don’t be afraid, Alice. The elected are immortal.”

Suddenly, Eve’s words resounded through her mind. His words seemed to have the power of calming her.

“Mother God!”

On hearing the familiar voice, Alice felt at ease. But then her eyes turned red as she almost cried. Nobody knew whether it was because of excitement or grievance…

“Mother God… They… They…”

The girl was somewhat incoherent.

“Ahem… Don’t be afraid.”

Eve coughed dryly as He comforted her guiltily.

“They are residents in another world who are oppressed by life. Because they are under great mental pressure, they need to vent their feelings. Being the elected is their way of escaping from reality. However, although they escape, they are also very able…”

It was within Eve’s expectation that He would attract some rather neurotic players.

After Eve made His selection for the game, these 300 people were either senior players and determined ones, or game anchors.

Long game time or some “occupational diseases” had long enabled them to develop such a game character of indocility that the only thing they feared was their mischief not being troublesome and exciting enough. It was normal for them not to play according to the routine before they fully understood the mechanism of the game…

In the same way, however, their ability in the game was definitely not weak.

In summary, bigwigs were often funny.

Of course, there was no way to explain this to Alice…

After being silent for a moment, Eve said to the maiden, “You can consider them to be mentally ill.”

Alice was left speechless.

“However, you can rest assured that they are not bad in nature and they will be hard-working. You can freely order them to do anything… Besides, these 300 people are only the first batch. The subsequent chosen ones will be normal.”

Subsequent? Will there be subsequent ones?!

Alice was almost shocked.

Perceiving that the maiden had become upset, Eve hurried to add, “Don’t worry. They won’t always be like this.”

With these words, He used divine force again to pass a message to the maiden’s mind:

“This is a list of daily tasks that you can give them to do. These tasks can greatly divert their attention.”

Eve did not plan to do everything in person. Since there were indigenous believers, Eve would make the best use of them and let them become non-player characters for common tasks like that of some other games. Eve only needed to take control of the general direction and key game scenarios.

This was also Eve’s way of promoting communication between players and indigenous elves. In His vision, what He wanted to build was a new civilization that would unite players and indigenous elves with great cohesive forces!

His plan for Alice was to be a novice’s guide and non-player character for daily tasks. At the same time, she would also be a candidate to help the players who wanted to change their professions to be priests in the future.

As for Eve’s short-term goal, it was to let the players do tasks, so they could upgrade through hard work. In the meantime, He wanted to build His own camp!

And the new elf civilization would also be based on it!

After a flash of light, Alice found something more in her head.

A list of tasks?

Alice checked the content and murmured, “Repair the temple…”

“Collect wood…”

“Build houses…”

Alice was left speechless.

This… Wasn’t this just hard labor?

These things… Would the elected be willing to do these things?

This kind of miscellaneous work was given to low-ranking agents even when the elf race was still there… But they were the elected! In addition, they did not seem to be Mother God’s believers.

Furthermore, they were so undisciplined and wild…

With this being the case, would they really be obedient?

All these things required teamwork!

Alice was a little confused.

“No… I cannot think like this!”

The maiden shook her head hard as if she felt guilty about her suspicion.

Mother God’s words must be right!

She was a saint of nature and the closest follower of Mother God. This must have been Mother God’s test for her. And she had to complete it perfectly!

Thinking of this, Alice silently uttered “Mother God up high” from within. And then she stretched out her hand to draw a tree symbol of the Mother of Nature again on her chest.

She took a deep breath and looked back at the players.

The players were still in a mess, but nobody attempted suicide.

Looking at the buzzing elves, Alice, who had just taken heart, instantly sighed disappointedly and felt her head growing bigger…

How should she speak? How do I make them accept the tasks willingly?

If they were really like Mother God had said, then they were also miserable indeed…

As they did things in such an extreme manner, they must have been quite stressed mentally and spiritually…

They must have been living very painful and depressing lives in another world…

Thinking about this, Alice felt that the reckless guys before her did not seem so obtrusive.

And when the elf maiden thought of what she did just now, she felt a little guilty…

“Did I react too fiercely just now?”

“Although the guy with red hair is very annoying, I cannot interrupt my mission with personal feelings. After all, he has been chosen by Mother God. Should I apologize for it…”

While thinking about it, Alice found that the elected suddenly fell silent collectively.

She raised her head in doubt and then found that hundreds of people looked towards her unexpectedly at the same time. Their eyes were shining as if they were looking at a moving treasure…

Alice had only seen that kind of gaze in the eyes of those greedy human merchants and daredevil adventurers unafraid of death. She shuddered involuntarily.

And the players started whispering to each other even in excitement.

“Hey! Have you guys received the notification from the system? We can get our daily tasks from Alice, the saint of nature!”

“I heard it. It addressed me as the brave one who would save the elf race…”

“I also received it!”

“Saint! The little sister turns out to be a saint!”

“Get the task! Hurry to get the task! The early task must upgrade us fastest. Hurry to upgrade! I’m waiting to change my profession to be a magician!”

Suddenly, all the elected rushed towards Alice as if they had received a certain order, which startled her greatly.

Did Mother God order them?

Guessing what had happened, Alice tried to calm down and opened her mouth after considering it for a moment.

“Do you… want to have tasks?”

Countless players’ eyes shone as they all raised their hands.

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

“Little sister, you are the best! Hurry and give me the task!”

“Great Alice! I want to get my task!”

“Sister Alice, your little dress is so beautiful! Can you give me a task?”

Alice was left speechless.

In an instant, all the players turned into licking dogs.

Looking at the elves who rushed to get the chores and then left in a state of intense excitement, Alice became completely numb.

“Mother God is right. Their brains are absolutely problematic.”

…

Pushing his way out of numerous players, Li Mu gasped while shaking his head.

“This game is too real. You have to push your way among people to get a task… The open beta test in the future will be exploding…”

Although he complained about it verbally, he was filled with excitement deep inside.

Li Mu opened his system interface to check the random task he got from Alice the saint just now:

“[Random Daily Task: Collect Wood. Reward 50-300 Points of Experience Value]”

“To collect wood? It seems that wood will be used to build houses. It’s not difficult. After all, this is my old job!”

Li Mu lived in a forest farm when he was young and was familiar with cutting down trees.

“And I can get at least 50 points of experience value at once! Moreover, I can get the points repeatedly! It seems that I can accumulate the points of experience value to upgrade quickly through this! But it seems that every time the task will be random…”

While checking his task curiously, he walked towards the Temple of Nature’s teleportation circle mentioned in the task details. There, players could teleport directly to the base of the World Tree kilometers below.

Other player elves also took action.

In an instant, hundreds of elves scattered in a hubbub and rushed towards the forest of elves in a long queue.

…

Up high, Eve watched the players who were gradually on the right track and finally felt relieved.
