Elf City, the dwelling place of elves, is a city of integration. Each city has its own rules. For example, in Elf City, only elves and players can enter. Other races' players are not allowed unless they have acquaintances to help or during events. Chen Tian and Chen Ling arrived at the Elf City. A magnificent and huge city appeared before their eyes. Chen Ling and Chen Tian were not very surprised. They had seen such scenes countless times thousands of years ago. Such cities were common in the former Divine Realm. Chen Tian arrived at the city gate, and a ray of light emitted from the gate. Soon, the gate presented the correct symbol.
This indicated that Chen Tian could enter the city. Every city was equipped with a detection system. The light at the city gate scanned the player's information. Players of the wrong race could not enter the gate. The consequence of forcefully entering the gate was the loss of a level. For example, if a White Flame level Human player forcibly entered the Elf race, their level would be reduced to one hundred, and they would have to level up again. This punishment was immense for every player.
What gamer would want to see their hard-earned levels disappear in an instant and then have to level up again? Players play games with the goal of leveling up and becoming stronger. This is why so many people play games. Chen Tian didn't care much, as he had data modification. Even if his level dropped by a major realm, he could simply alter the level data. Chen Tian just didn't want to cause trouble. After all, humans appearing in Elf City, who knew what would happen.
The relationship between races was very delicate. A single wrong step could lead to a racial war. Chen Tian did not want to cause such an incident. Soon, it was Chen Ling's turn. Chen Ling stood before the city gate. The light scanned her entire body, and soon a similar symbol appeared. Chen Ling was an elf herself, and even more so, her bloodline was purer than that of game players. Her demeanor was more like that of an elf because Chen Ling was the first elf in heaven and earth, a fusion of all elves. It could be said that as long as Chen Ling wished, all elf players and beings in Elf City would be under her control. Chen Ling's command was the heavens!
This was the ruling power of the elven bloodline. Chen Ling walked to Chen Tian, hand in hand, and they entered the city together. After the scan, the city gate slowly opened as if welcoming them. Chen Tian and Chen Ling looked at the scene inside the city. People were coming and going, all elves. Chen Ling looked around like a curious baby. Chen Tian shook his head. Ling was still the same. Chen Tian followed her.
"Brother, look, this necklace is so pretty! Is this the thing from another world you were talking about? It's so beautiful!"
Chen Ling looked at the crystal necklace before her. Before coming to the city, Chen Tian had shared the information he knew with Chen Ling to prevent her from being ignorant of human world items and rules. After all, these were things Chen Ling would eventually know.
"Do you like it?"
Chen Tian asked. Chen Ling nodded. What girl didn't like shiny things, especially such beautiful accessories? Chen Tian felt like he had asked a redundant question. The young man at the stall looked at Chen Ling, completely mesmerized. What a beautiful woman!
Was her appearance real or fabricated? No, fabricated appearances couldn't be so beautiful. This young lady player must be a beauty in reality because she was too stunning. Her aura seemed to captivate his soul infinitely.
"Brother, brother, how much are these necklace accessories in Epoch Coins?"
Chen Tian looked at the dazed stall owner, and a cold glint appeared on his face. Feeling a chill, the young stall owner looked at Chen Tian. At a glance, he saw a murderous gaze, a warning in his eyes. The young man was a little scared, but Elf City did not allow fighting, let alone killing one's own race.
After the world fusion, the update content and rules issued by the Time Epoch were different from what Chen Tian initially knew. Chen Tian never read the content and was unaware of these. Chen Tian knew what he needed to do, so he gave the other party a warning. Chen Tian felt disgust in the other party's eyes. Chen Ling was his sister, and his sister could not be looked at like that. If the other party was stubborn, Chen Tian would teach him a lesson.
"You have good taste. Miss, it's thirty thousand Epoch Coins in total, and the price is firm!"
Chen Tian's expression became even more sharp. He estimated the necklace to be worth only ten thousand Epoch Coins. Did the other party take him for a fool by asking for thirty thousand?
"Brother, can Ling'er buy this?"
Chen Ling's eyes widened. She looked at Chen Tian with her watery eyes. Chen Tian nodded, then looked at the young man and said, "Thirty thousand Epoch Coins, I'll make the transaction with you. Next time, I hope you know what you're doing."
Since Chen Ling genuinely wanted to buy it, Chen Tian naturally satisfied her. Chen Tian was not short of Epoch Coins. The Epoch Coins in his backpack were almost equivalent to half a world. With data modification, Chen Tian could have as many Epoch Coins as he wanted by simply changing the quantity.
Chen Tian handed over thirty thousand Epoch Coins. The young man was overjoyed. This transaction would lift him out of poverty!
"Brother, look at this fragment, is it...?"
Chen Ling's surprised voice rang out. She covered her mouth with her small hand. What was below couldn't be said, couldn't let others know. Hearing Chen Ling's words, Chen Tian immediately looked aside. It was a fragment, a black and white fragment. Chen Tian's eyes widened, and he felt a surge of excitement.
This fragment was a piece of his original weapon, but the aura was wrong. Chen Tian sensed another aura of the same level as his fragment within the aura. Recalling carefully, Chen Tian knew what aura it was.
"How much are these fragments in Epoch Coins?"
"Three thousand Epoch Coins!"
The young man could see that the fragment was extraordinary. After ripping them off earlier, it was better to be a little more restrained. This fragment was originally worth three hundred Epoch Coins, so earning a few thousand more was reasonable. The young man was sensible and didn't ask for too much. Just as Chen Tian was about to make the transaction, a voice rang out: "I'll pay fifty thousand Epoch Coins. Will you sell this fragment to my Cloud Water Guild?"
Chen Tian and the young man stopped the transaction. The stall owner looked at the person who had arrived, his face filled with anger. "Since when did the elves join forces with humans? Traitors."
"You're wrong to call me a traitor. Players are also people. Whether in the game or in reality, we are one race, human. Why should there be a distinction in the game?"
The newcomer was an elven youth, dressed in a blue robe, exuding an imposing aura. Chen Ling looked at the newcomer and felt a deep sense of disgust from the bottom of her heart. Chen Tian felt the same. There was an evil spirit aura on the other party.
"It seems that other game worlds have been infiltrated by the Evil Spirit race. However, Cloud Water Guild? I had wanted to destroy them before, but I was delayed by some matters. Now that they've shown themselves, they're practically asking for death."
Chen Tian inwardly snorted coldly. The stall owner sighed, "Alright, what you say is also true. However, this fragment goes to the highest bidder."
The young player could see that both parties knew the secret of the fragment, and he couldn't refuse. One was from Cloud Water Guild, a large guild that he alone could not contend with. As for Chen Tian? He didn't even have the courage to face his gaze. That person was definitely stronger than him.
"Kid, Cloud Water Guild wants this. You two should leave."
Yun Lin acted with a condescending air, his tone somewhat arrogant. Chen Ling clenched her fists, as if she would punch and kill the other party at any moment. Do not underestimate Chen Ling. Even with her strength sealed for thousands of years, her power was comparable to that of another Chen Tian.
The main reason was that Chen Ling's true form was active in the world, and her strength was at its peak. In the game world, the game character was restricted, and the players' strength had an upper limit. The highest-level players were only comparable to a part of Chen Tian's strength, let alone Chen Tian's current state of sealed power.
"I want this fragment too. Moreover, what kind of guild is your Cloud Water Guild? Why should I give your guild any face? You're not worthy!"
"You kid!"
Chen Tian's words ignited Yun Lin's anger. Yun Lin wanted to make a move, but he remembered that this was Elf City, and he withdrew his aura. Chen Tian saw that the other party was about to make a move but then stopped. It seemed that after the world fusion, many new rules had emerged. Chen Tian opened his status panel. In his eight years of playing games, this was the first time Chen Tian had read the game update content. However, after a few minutes of glancing, he directly ignored Yun Lin next to him.
This made Yun Lin even more enraged. Who was he? A member of Cloud Water Guild. Cloud Water Guild had risen to become a top guild in the world. Did the young man in front of him not give him face and Cloud Water Guild face? He even chose to ignore him and look at some update content.
Is it possible that I'm not as important as the update content?
In fact, it was true. In Chen Tian's heart, the update content was more important than Yun Lin. Neither Digital nor Pigeon were in the game, and no one told him about the situation after the update. Chen Tian understood it himself.
This was his first time reading the update content. He briefly glanced at other equipment, maps, and city changes. He quickly finished reading the update content, which spanned more than ten pages. Chen Tian put away his screen and turned to see Yun Lin staring at him furiously. Then, he said dismissively, "You're still here? I thought you had left. Now, let's auction. The highest bidder wins, just as this stall owner said."
"Kid, fine. I'll let you see the financial strength of our guild. Stall owner, I offer sixty thousand Epoch Coins!"
After speaking, Yun Lin looked confident, crossing his arms. Sixty thousand Epoch Coins was not something an ordinary player could afford. A single purchase of sixty thousand.
"I offer three...!"
"Hahaha! Kid, three? Are you joking? Do you want to compete with my sixty thousand with just three Epoch Coins?"
"Don't rush, I said three Time Coins! What do you think of this price?"
"You...you...what did you just say? Time Coins, are you sure?"
The young player looked at Chen Tian with shock. Time Coins were a higher-level currency than Epoch Coins. Generally, one Time Coin required substantial wealth to exchange, as the exchange rate between Epoch Coins and Time Coins was too high. Time Coins were only used after reaching the fiftieth level of the world. kuAiδugg
This young man before him was a big shot. He was definitely a big shot to spend three Time Coins at once.
He really wanted to latch onto a powerful figure!
Of course, he couldn't say it out loud. Yun Lin was stunned. Who would use Time Coins to buy a stall item? Was this guy crazy?
"Kid, are you really going to go against Cloud Water Guild?"
"What is your Cloud Water Guild? Why should I be afraid of you?"
"I have already destroyed three branches of your Cloud Water Guild. Do I need to be afraid of you?"
Of course, Chen Tian did not say the latter part. It was likely that the entire Cloud Water Guild was still looking for him. As long as he didn't reveal it and maintained his hidden identity, Cloud Water Guild would be destroyed soon. The recent update made Chen Tian understand that fighting was forbidden in the city, and killing one's own race was forbidden. These were rules. With the world fusion and races converging, members of the same race should work together to overcome difficulties.
The enemy was outsiders. This rule applied to all races. Chen Tian knew that Yun Lin would not dare to make a move in the city, which left Yun Lin frustrated and unable to vent his anger.
He roared a threat: "Kid, I hope this thing is still in your hands after you leave the city."
Killing one's own race was forbidden, but other races could. Most of Cloud Water Guild's players were of the human race. He would have them make a move later, and this fragment would still belong to Cloud Water Guild. The main thing was that this fragment was the target of that great person. He couldn't mess this up, or the punishment awaiting him would be unimaginable.
Chen Tian understood the meaning of his words and didn't care. Since the other party wouldn't dare to make a move in the city, Chen Tian paid the money. The young player handed the fragment to Chen Tian. Chen Tian placed the fragment in his storage ring. To outsiders, it looked like it was put into the game warehouse.
Chen Tian dared not put it in the game warehouse. A storage ring was safer than a game warehouse. Death in the game resulted in dropping items, especially after the world fusion when the rules changed. The killer could choose one item from the fallen player's backpack or warehouse as a reward, but only items they knew. The contents of one's personal warehouse or backpack were private, and no player could see another's items.
However, if you knew what was in someone's warehouse, you could specify which item you wanted as a reward after killing them.
It could be said that after the world fusion, combat between players became more intense. Chen Tian had reached the highest level. For safety, Chen Tian put it in his storage ring, as who knew if there would be any accidents.
