If we’re any later, we might miss the flight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following behind her was another young girl of a similar age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had a bob haircut, was on the short side, looked sweet and cute, with a little tuft of hair sticking up adorably on top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sleepy-eyed, she ran breathlessly, muttering in a playful voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Han Han… slow down a bit. I don’t have long legs like you, can’t run that fast…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Su Su’s words, Zhou Menghan turned around, glaring fiercely at her friend:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who told you to play games so late last night? And if you did, why not sleep in the game? You knew we were leaving today! It’s a good thing I came to the Imperial Capital to get you, or else were you planning on gaming all the way to tomorrow, skipping the meetup?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Su Su yawned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yawn… Isn’t there a recent myth that says if you play games while sleeping, it’s hard to draw an advanced class slot? So I just drank more coffee and tried to stay awake…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Menghan said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*That was such a good reason, she was left speechless.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Especially since she was one of the first to be lucky enough to draw an advanced class slot.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, did you get it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Menghan asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Su perked up, flashing a triumphant smile and making a peace sign:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Menghan looked at her in surprise, raising an eyebrow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad, not many drew it among the test stage four players.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, hmph, well of course, who am I! I’m a devout Believer of the Goddess, surely she’ll bless me with an advanced class slot! Heh heh, now I won’t fall behind you! Eventually, I too can become a high-end player!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Su proclaimed proudly, hands on her hips, standing straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Menghan said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*She rolled her eyes at her best friend, speechless,*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up, if you keep babbling, we’ll really miss the plane!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we miss the flight… huh… just get a new ticket then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out of here, I don’t have as much money as you do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afternoon, Demon City South Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clear and pleasant standard voice announcements echoed cheerfully in the hall, with bustling crowds coming and going, the train whistles occasionally sounding…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the economic hub of the southern Tianchao, the station in Demon City was always lively, full of vitality and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exit platform number eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man of about twenty, clad in a denim jacket, sporting a neat hairstyle, exited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked ordinary, with a slightly round face, dragging a medium-sized suitcase behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he appeared fatigued, with bloodshot eyes, the young man seemed to be in good spirits and in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the large characters on the station’s billboard, “Welcome to Demon City,” he first let out a long yawn, then flashed a bright smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was gleeful and expectant, yet there was a hint of nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, he pulled his suitcase and headed to the station restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief respite, he stood before the mirror over the washbasin, attentively grooming his appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hairstyle, perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smile, perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outfit, passable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only dissatisfaction might be his slight belly, visible even through the loose sweatshirt…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should still look okay, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a bit hot. I didn’t expect the temperature in Demon City to be so high, should have worn something lighter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tugged at his denim jacket, remembering the heat wave he felt upon alighting from the train, the young man shook his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his denim jacket was his only slimming outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patting his protruding belly, the young man shook his head regretfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to lose weight. How long have I been in college, and my abs are already a single block.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Mu, Li Mu, once you get back, you should start running and working out. Even your usually oblivious dad noticed you gained weight when you went home for Mid-Autumn, and if you don’t lose weight, you’ll really have a hard time finding a girlfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed deeply, splashing his face with cold water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Though he’d made quite a few videos, actually meeting people in real life was still somewhat nerve-wracking, especially with several female players coming this time…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, the young man pinched his thigh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you thinking about?! You’re here to meet fellow enthusiasts, not to hit on girls!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a self-deprecating chuckle, he grabbed his suitcase again, unlocking his phone while speaking to it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little E, Little E, navigate to Tianchen Hotel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon Capital Galaxy District, in a three-story mansion with Western architectural style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aunt Liu! Aunt Liu! How do I look in this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of an upscale, elegantly designed full-length mirror, a young girl, appearing fourteen or fifteen, held a purple dress, looking eagerly at the middle-aged woman behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every year, the woman called Aunt Liu furrowed her brows and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guoguo, won’t this dress make you look too mature?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Aunt Liu’s words, the girl puffed her cheeks, smiled, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s exactly the point! As the guild leader, I need to make an impression!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Liu said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*She hesitated, sighed, and then replied,*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to look a bit more mature, maybe change your hairstyle and put on some makeup.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the girl’s eyes lit up, and she quickly sat at the dressing table:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, you’re right! Aunt Liu, please help me get ready. I need to look at least like an adult! Hmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Liu nodded helplessly and began styling the girl’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, is the hotel reservation all set? There are quite a few people coming this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Liu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, she paused and reminded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s one more thing… Guoguo, I just want to remind you that although it’s the company’s hotel and it’s fine to host some events, regarding the budget…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Aunt Liu. This gaming offline event, I’m just covering a portion of the costs for some people, the rest are only getting a small discount.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl smiled, counting her fingers as she explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, she squinted her eyes, added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, if you really calculate, with so many attendees, I’ve already figured it out; overall, the hotel will still profit! I’m thinking of making these meetups a regular event, won’t cause any loss to the hotel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I’m not truly wasteful. I know my priorities. Even when gaming, after spending a bit of pocket money at the start, I haven’t spent much since, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Aunt Liu finally nodded gently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you know what you’re doing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the melodious and pleasant ringtone suddenly sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a clip of her favorite BGM from the game that the girl had set on her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl picked up her phone from the table, her eyes lighting up when she saw the caller ID.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happily answering, she spoke sweetly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Sister Gugu, it’s Miao Miao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? You’ve arrived already? Where are you? I’m coming to get you right away!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1258,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.253Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab5b1989e0553f8d7d42955e7d4dd7859130bd074c7e16f9c5c580cd03a2e1ba","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-416","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-414",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
