Chapter 1540: Chapter 958: Road to Transcendence (Part 7): Offline Celebration
Tianchao, Demon City.
As one of the metropolises in the Eastern World, this city has always been the central city of Tianchao, as well as an important international commercial hub and comprehensive transportation junction.
With the increasing popularity of the "Elf Kingdom," the annual "Elf Kingdom" offline celebration has become a very influential social event, attracting a considerable number of game players every year, with influential figures from various games gathering here, even the media are competing to report on it.
To this day, the influence of "Elf Kingdom" on Blue Star is no longer just a game. Thanks to its super high level of freedom that rivals the real world and its great potential for accelerating thought, it has affected all aspects of people’s lives.
Whether it’s using "Elf Kingdom" for film and television production, or leveraging the "four times speed" to improve work and learning efficiency, "Elf Kingdom" has showcased great advantages, gaining the admiration of the entire society.
As for the Elf culture in the game... it has completely gone viral, even the elderly and children can name a few Elf Style Music tracks.
However, the official stance of "Elf Kingdom" remains as monotonous as ever. Although the game has long become a social phenomenon, not many people actually understand this company named World Tree Black Technology Company.
Including Tony.
Even Tony, who usually possesses a strong curiosity for the unknown, hasn’t realized that he doesn’t feel any discord about such a mysterious situation with World Tree Black Technology Company.
It seems as if there is a force subtly diminishing its presence to the point that even if someone mentions it on a regular day, they unconsciously forget about it as they chat.
Especially since the number of "Elf Kingdom" players has increased, this obscuration has nearly become a part of daily life. A substantial number of people don’t even care to question who created this game "Elf Kingdom."
From another perspective, this is also a manifestation of Eve’s increasing power, with the growing influence on the Blue Star World.
Of course, this is something players aren’t aware of; even among the many myths of the Segis Universe, only the Fairy King Fenrir, who remains in the World Tree Divine Country, knows a bit more due to managing the game system.
Tony arrived at Demon City at four in the afternoon.
His workplace is in the Tianchao Imperial City, and he specially took a plane to come over.
There were event reception staff already waiting at the airport. After verifying his ID, he was warmly escorted onto a shuttle bus designated for players.
To Tony’s surprise, there were a few other passengers on the same flight who were also attending the event, and they were from the Imperial City too, though he didn’t know them.
Two women, appearing in their early thirties.
One was tall and one was short, laughing and chatting. Tony listened in a bit and found they were discussing missionary work on the Kaldia Continent.
Judging by the looks, they were Priest Players.
Tony couldn’t help but listen to a few sentences and found out that the two women, especially the slightly shorter one, were very knowledgeable about missionary work in the game. The few little missionary tricks they mentioned casually made him amazed that such playstyles were possible.
He considered himself at least an Apprentice Priest, with a decent understanding of the Priest profession, and he had read some popular guides. For something to shock him like this, they had to be top-tier figures among Priests!
Who could they be?
In Tony’s mind flashed the names of famous Tianchao Priest Players he knew.
At the same time, he naturally leaned forward and sat behind the two, enthusiastically greeting them:
"Hi! Ladies, what are you chatting about? Can I join?"
Upon hearing his rather standard Chinese, the two women turned around with somewhat surprised looks, seemingly not expecting an elder foreigner to strike up a conversation.
Faced with their somewhat puzzled gaze, Tony smiled slightly and introduced himself:
"Ladies, I’m Tony, also Tony in-game. I just overheard that you’re talking about missionary work, and I’m very interested. Could I know your names and game nicknames?"
"Tony..."
The taller woman looked a bit puzzled, while the shorter woman paused, thought for a moment, suddenly slapped her forehead excitedly, and said:
"I think I’ve heard of you! You’re the Pioneer Player from the M Country in the Mengmeng Committee?!"
"Umm... that should be me."
Tony said with a laugh.
Then he looked at the two and asked:
"May I know the two of you...?"
"Su Su, game ID: Dongdong."
The short woman said familiarly.
"Zhou Menghan, game ID: Meng Zhihan."
The tall woman said warmly.
Tony’s eyes lit up with surprise, saying:
"So it’s the number one ranked Priest Player and Forging Master Player! I know you both! You are very famous in the game! Miss Dongdong, I’ve been following your guides! Miss Meng Zhihan, my best storage ring was forged by you!"
He was overjoyed.
The "Elf Kingdom" Offline Celebration is truly the biggest and most influential offline event of the game; he hadn’t even reached the venue yet and already met two heavyweight players!
If he remembered correctly, both their overall rankings were within the top hundred!
At this level, they truly are super influential figures.
"Haha, it’s just luck, I got into the ’pit’ years earlier than others."
