Is that Brother Mu?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Li Mu was meeting and greeting the guild members, a voice filled with surprise came over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu turned his head and saw a girl in a purple evening dress being surrounded and escorted by a dozen players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked to be in her teens, like the main character of the scene, with delicate and cute features, resembling a porcelain doll, with a hint of innocence between her eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a differently parted hairstyle added a touch of maturity to her appearance. This maturity mixed with that hint of innocence didn’t seem out of place but instead made her appear vigorous, youthful, and beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*This age…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*This temperament…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*This outfit that clearly didn’t come cheap…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*And this highly recognizable loli voice…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Xian Miao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bingo! You got it! My name is Chen Guoguo, ID: Little Xian Miao~! Haha, after collaborating so many times in the game, I finally get to see your real face, Brother Mu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl was very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu also smiled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah! I didn’t expect you to be so young. *I feel like I’m getting old*.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humph! I’m not that young!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl pouted, her cheeks puffing up adorably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she clapped her hands happily and took the arm of another girl next to her, who looked about twenty years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other girl was about 1.7 meters tall, with a clean appearance. She had her hair in a ponytail and wore thick glasses, giving off an extremely competent vibe, along with an intellectual beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Mu, guess who this is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Xian Miao chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu was momentarily stunned, then laughed and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must be Gu Gu Niao, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only female player who could be this close to Little Xian Miao was Gu Gu Niao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh, there was also Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Mu thought the girl in front of him looked more like Gu Gu Niao in terms of demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Feng, the always-smiling player, was undoubtedly a hidden master—likely the strongest Druid player across the server—Li Mu always felt he couldn’t quite understand her. He would even feel a bit reserved around her sometimes… *It was a bit of an odd thing, now that he thought about it.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Perhaps it was the aura she brought into the game from real life, but who knew what she did in reality.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Li Mu’s guess, the girl with glasses nodded gently and said to Li Mu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing, game ID: Gu Gu Niao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, she was Gu Gu Niao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Gu Niao’s self-introduction was brief, and her voice was slightly tense, but Li Mu detected a hint of joy in her tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, she was also an old acquaintance of his in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two had frequently taken on Saintess Alice’s quests together, teaming up to take care of kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh… Elf Clan kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they hadn’t met in real life, they were very familiar with each other’s voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, finally got to meet you in person, the top student of the Elf Kingdom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu joked with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging a few words, his gaze rested for a moment on the members of the Mengmeng Committee behind Little Xian Miao, and he asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t Box Lunch come this time? And what about Feng? Little Xian Miao, didn’t you say she put a lot of effort into organizing this gathering?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feng had something come up and couldn’t make it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Xian Miao pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The captain too, something came up at home and he couldn’t come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another male voice said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu looked over and found that it was a tall, thin boy who had responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy looked to be seventeen or eighteen, with a somewhat scholarly air, and his smile was very clean, exuding a strong bookish vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave Li Mu a shy smile and introduced himself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello Brother Mu, I’m Hu Lu, my real name is Hu Lu as well—it’s a homophone. My hobbies are gaming and reading, but… ever since ‘Elf Kingdom’ came out, it seems like I’m only gaming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hu Lu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu’s eyes lit up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s you! Box Lunch’s teammate, the strongest Elf Mage in the whole server!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey, hey! The strongest Mage is clearly me, alright? My combat power rating is more than a thousand points higher than his! And I have the highest enemy kill count in the battlefield!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Xian Miao interjected discontentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, come on, Miao, you’re entirely relying on equipment to crush your opponents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demacia jokingly teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this earned him a roll of the eyes from Little Xian Miao,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demacia, your orders are not going to be discounted for the next two days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy crap! Miao, I’m sorry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was full of laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New players continued to come and greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the most famous player of ‘Elf Kingdom,’ Li Mu indeed enjoyed such treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He met many player comrades he had fought alongside in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were both men and women, extroverts and introverts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was very excited and full of enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even met Transforming Ji Gang, the Guild Leader of the Autobot Guild, a sunny eighteen- or nineteen-year-old boy who seemed to have just started his college freshman year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he also met Fried Tomato, who had always not seen eye to eye with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This player, who had always felt shadowy to him in the game, turned out to be a baby-faced youth in reality. The two even shared a small drink, completely mending their previous disagreements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, ‘Elf Kingdom’ was unlike other games. Although there was competition among players, there was more cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the massive influx of players from the fourth test led to a subconscious banding together among the old guilds from the closed beta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, the small conflicts of the past dissolved with a drink, becoming nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time went by, more and more players arrived at the venue…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some young, middle school-aged teens; some older—there were even middle-aged men in suits in their forties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both genders, all ages, and different professions gathered here because of one game; it truly was fascinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Maybe when most players first arrived, they felt a bit apprehensive and reserved, even unfamiliar and uneasy.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*But as they gradually found their friends from the game and began to integrate their in-game identities into reality…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Gradually, that indescribable feeling of familiarity and closeness brought everyone closer together.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the entire venue was engulfed in laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Come to think of it, although most people hadn’t met in real life, they probably knew more about each other than some of their real-life friends.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Becoming friends in a virtual world already meant having compatible traits.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Given a chance, becoming friends in the real world was naturally a matter of course.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu sat on a sofa in the venue, drinking a slightly sweet fruit wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched the lively scene at the venue, listening to the sounds of jubilant laughter and the excited shouts from those playing board games, his smile growing softer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Being able to dive into this game’s world…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Was truly wonderful.*\u003C\u002Fp>",1316,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.253Z",1,"novelbin.me","80726a3bccc5c5bd0562a1b16bf7be4736ccc87072468582258a681394b85f66","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-418","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-416",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
