Haha, the AI in this game is so uncanny. If it weren’t for the lack of an ID, you’d think they were players.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, players can also hide their ID from others of a lower level. If you’re at Silver level, you might even pass off as an NPC unless you run into another Silver Boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elf Warrior said animatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the elf girl returned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chosen One, your drinks have arrived, the rest will follow shortly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She placed the four jugs on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drinks were served in crystal glass bottles, one of them a translucent pale yellow, exuding an enticing fragrance, while the other three were golden with foam, giving off a pungent alcoholic smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Gale poured Xu Ge a cup of the pale yellow flower tea and said with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try it, this is the first-place beverage in the ‘Elf Kingdom’ drink selection, the Elf Flower Tea. It’s really powerful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge nodded, picked up the cup, and took a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his eyes suddenly brightened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elf Warrior laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two chatted and waited, a few more elves entered the tavern after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey hey! Over here! Over here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Gale waved to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his characteristic uncle voice, the elves quickly looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they walked over with smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge curiously looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two men and two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, one male player wore leather armor and a cloak, dressed as a Hunter, while the other had a bent bow on his back and a punk-style Magic Gun at his waist, likely a Shooter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two female players included a Druid in full magic combat gear, and a Mage wearing a pointed hat and carrying a curved wooden Magic Wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them exuded a very strong presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players quickly reached the table and sat down familiarly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge felt a bit awkward for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me introduce, this is the newcomer I found, who will act as the scout in our relic quest later. His ID… uh, um.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Gale said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While mentioning the ID, he paused deliberately and gave Xu Ge a peculiar look after the introduction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you not afraid of getting hit with that ID?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge gave a dry chuckle and changed the subject:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, I wanted to play with homophones, Brother Gale, you can call me however you like…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elf Warrior didn’t mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll call you Yezi from now on, it’s easy to say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge:…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After introducing Xu Ge, Brother Gale introduced the other teammates to Xu Ge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Elf Warrior, these four players were also part of the All-Star Guild, all at Black Iron Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge quietly memorized everyone’s ID and added them as friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group drank and ate the food that was served, ordering another round of delicious dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Xu Ge learned that it was now lunchtime in the “Elf Kingdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone hadn’t eaten yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food in the tavern was pretty good, reminiscent of Blue Star’s Mexican flavors. Although Xu Ge wasn’t hungry, he enjoyed the meal quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for their elf appearances, he’d have thought he was at a Mexican restaurant in Tianchao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through conversation, Xu Ge learned about the group’s goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were heading to the Titan Ruins to seek possible Titan Relics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, relics have always been the best tributes in the game, offering quite a bit of contribution when sacrificed to the Goddess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, after the version update, the system introduced a limited-time reward, allowing players to spend contribution to exchange for special lottery tickets from a pool offering a Silver job change slot, with increased chances. Everyone’s going crazy now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone wants to advance to Silver as soon as possible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Gale said between burps while drinking ale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge nodded, expressing his agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six of them chatted and ate, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elf Warrior drank the last drop of ale, glanced at the system time, and frowned slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yezi, is your companion ready yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge:…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, I’ll urge them again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s wait a bit longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elf Warrior nodded in understanding, ordering another jug of ale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t drink too much; we still have a quest later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was met with eye-rolls from his teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, I’m a heavy drinker!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Gale laughed it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group continued drinking and chatting, another ten minutes passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Gale:…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Xu Ge, looking a bit frustrated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Yezi, can you hurry them up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge:…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his head awkwardly, pressing his hands together in apology:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, sorry, I’ll urge them again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he opened Penguin again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey Miss Zhao, are you ready? The others are getting impatient!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He typed hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m coming! I’m coming! All set! Send me the location, I’ll come right over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Zhao Linqian finally sent good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, sent the address, and reminded her again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be quick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it! Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handling everything, he finally relaxed, looking at the expectant Elf Warrior and the others, and said sheepishly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um… she’s ready, I’ve given her the address, she’ll be here soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you just invite her to the party? Can’t we go find her? Haven’t you added her as a friend yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Gale asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge opened his mouth, then slapped his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d forgotten about that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, wait, Zhao Linqian hadn’t even told him her ID!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the door was pushed open again, and a new elf girl in beginner mage robes appeared in the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had beautiful sky-blue long hair, and even among players, her appearance was quite outstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked around, then her eyes lit up, and she walked directly towards Xu Ge and the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, she gave Xu Ge a firm pat on the shoulder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her energetic voice startled everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Gale paused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A girl?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge looked at her head, and froze:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nai Nai?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my darling grandson!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl replied, crossing her arms and squinting her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge:…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————\u003C\u002Fp>",1226,"2026-06-03T12:38:41.247Z","2026-06-03T12:38:48.664Z",1,"novelbin.me","8a0116ae7a70051554e73b065c729a727b75c7aea899d648db0bcaffbb0fe81e","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-869","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-867",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
