Chapter 385: Game Changes Greatly, Return Journey!
Coming out from inside the Elf Ancient Tree, Li Xiang walked towards Aiweina and the other Elf Royal Family members, "Thank you for your hard work. I will personally donate a million gold coins to help the Elf Race rebuild."
Hearing Li Xiang's words, the Elf Royal Family members were surprised.
A million gold coins, that's not a small amount.
Aiweina bowed, "On behalf of the Elf Race, I thank you for your generous gift."
"You're welcome. Although I am Human Clan, I don't have those worldly prejudices. I personally like the Elf Race very much."
Afterwards, after staying in the Elf Race for another half a day, Li Xiang decided to set off and leave this place.
The purpose of coming here has been completed. Now there are more important things to do.
Aiweina also wanted to leave with him, but she is now the backbone of the Elf Race. Although the Elf Queen has taken charge of the Elf Race again, her health is poor and she cannot manage the Elf Race all the time.
In this incident, it was Aiweina who brought Li Xiang and saved the entire Elf Race, so her position in the clan is rising day by day. Coupled with Kuluofa cooperating with her work, the Elf Race cannot do without her now.
In a treehouse, Aiweina looked at Li Xiang reluctantly, "After I finish things here, I will come to find you immediately."
Li Xiang gently rubbed her beautiful hair, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you."
Saving her personally once, and saving her race once, Li Xiang's position in Aiweina's heart is already unshakable.
Kuluofa looked at Li Xiang, "I will go find you with my sister then."
Li Xiang smiled and nodded, "I'll have to trouble you to protect your sister well."
Kuluofa nodded heavily, "With me here, no one can hurt Aiweina!"
"Then I can rest assured. I'm leaving..."
Li Xiang left with Anthony.
They found an airship and returned to the Dafen Empire.
On the way, Li Xiang looked at the summary of changes in the new expansion pack that Liu Yunfeng sent him.
First, players who die three times can truly no longer resurrect, so the atmosphere among players suddenly became friendly, no longer like before where a disagreement might lead to a PK battle.
And in this situation, the status of Gods Guild members, bearing the title 'Gods Guild Member', rose sharply in the hearts of all players.
Gods Guild members are synonymous with strength. No player would be foolish enough to confront a Gods Guild member.
Another issue is that the Undead Army has begun to appear near Wu Shuang City. Dragon Slayer Budavich is going to launch an attack soon.
Another major issue is that national armies from various real-world countries have begun to enter the game in large numbers. The prices of various materials have started to skyrocket. The officials have contacted many Guilds for discussions. As the largest Guild in the Dragon Flame Empire, the Gods Guild has also received an invitation, which still requires Li Xiang's decision.
...
Adam City, Li Xiang returned to the Heaven's Gift Guild as Pumpkin.
After this update, the Heaven's Gift Guild was also affected. As the currently flourishing Guild in Adam City, the Heaven's Gift Guild has been upgraded to town level after rebuilding, and has completed a new round of recruitment. This recruitment is still entirely female players, and the number of Guild members has reached the full capacity of 700.
The Heaven's Gift Guild's current recruitment standards are not low. The reason it could recruit full capacity so quickly is because of the new expansion pack update and the actions of various official forces in the real world, which made all players sense that things seemed to be developing in a strange direction.
The Heaven's Gift Guild is not the only Guild that only recruits female players, but it is definitely the strongest Guild in the Dafen Empire that only recruits female players. Its Guild Leader, Pumpkin, has recently caused a huge stir in the Dafen Empire.
With the protection of such a strong person, the Heaven's Gift Guild is undoubtedly extremely safe.
Therefore, many female players with some strength came to Adam City from various cities to join the Heaven's Gift Guild, drawn by its reputation.
Everything developed very quickly. In just half a day, the entire game seemed to have pressed an acceleration button, and the progress suddenly sped up.
The World Barrier has opened. At the border between the two countries, players and NPCs from other countries have appeared. The connection between servers all over the World has begun.
Moreover, the official NPC forces have frequently made big moves. Large numbers of NPC armies have begun to move towards and station in the border areas.
Everyone knows that there are going to be big moves.
Upon returning to the Heaven's Gift Guild, Li Xiang had only one command: Expand! Expand crazily, expand at all costs, and left tens of millions of gold coins as expansion funds.
Only Poetic Spring and Aige knew about this fund. They both stared at Li Xiang in a daze, not knowing where Li Xiang got so many gold coins, but they knew that being able to get so many gold coins, Li Xiang was definitely not an ordinary person.
Seeing their confusion, Li Xiang spoke, "In a few months at most, this game will undergo huge changes. At that time... no one can escape. In these few months, expand your influence as much as possible and improve your strength."
"My identity... indeed, I have hidden a lot from you, but you can rest assured, I will not harm you."
Poetic Spring said directly, "Pumpkin, I believe you!"
Aige nodded, "...Shi Yi believes you, so I believe you."
"Thank you. I will be leaving for a period of time and may not return for a while. Just follow my instructions and expand the Guild vigorously. If you encounter any trouble, send me a message."
"Got it!" Seeing Li Xiang's solemn expression, both of them knew that the current situation was quite special. Aige's background was not simple, and she had learned some inside information from her family, so she wasn't too curious about Li Xiang's actions.
Aige looked at Li Xiang, "Recently, the officials in reality found us and hope we can cooperate with them in training troops. What... do you think about this?"
Li Xiang said directly, "Do whatever you need to do, but remember, everything must be for the Guild's interests! Even if it's me, no matter how much I hide, I will prioritize the Guild's interests! The Guild is not just one person's Guild, it is the Guild of hundreds of members. Our decisions will concern their survival... Do you understand?"
Aige was moved, "I know what to do."
"Okay, see you next time."
After speaking, Li Xiang prepared to leave.
"Pumpkin..." Poetic Spring called out to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang looked at her.
She walked up to Li Xiang, hugged him, and sobbed softly, "Can we still meet again?"
Li Xiang smiled, "This isn't life and death separation. We will definitely meet again."
"You can't lie to me."
"How could I lie to you about such a small matter?"
"Then... pinky swear."
"Okay, pinky swear!"
Their fingers touched.
"I'm leaving."
"Okay, okay, be careful on the road."
"I will."
Taking Anthony with him, Li Xiang headed towards the Garna Coast.
...
After Li Xiang left, Poetic Spring looked at Aige, "Aige, you must have noticed too, right?"
Aige sighed, "Who would have thought that the famous number one player in the game would turn into a woman and mix with us..."
"When did you find out?"
"During the hunt for the Adam City noble NPCs in the abandoned castle, she instructed me to do many things, but she herself wasn't present. At the same time, Qu Ming appeared at the Demon Guild Residence. That's when I had this feeling."
"What about you, Shi Shi?"
Poetic Spring looked outside, lost in thought, "You know, I have a special ability that isn't very useful, its effect is that I can still see the scene near my body for a while after death."
"When the Demon Guild attacked, he fell under the hands of Demon Hand. I personally saw him resurrect, turn into Qu Ming... and then teleport away. After that... the Demon Guild Residence was breached again, and I watched that two-minute video several times..."
"Perhaps he indeed had many purposes in taking over the Heaven's Gift Guild, but from that video, what I saw was anger... anger at the Demon Guild for slaughtering our Heaven's Gift Guild members..."
After speaking, Poetic Spring smiled slightly, "After knowing he was a man, I actually felt relieved..."
Aige stared at Poetic Spring with wide eyes, "Shi Yi... you, you didn't fall for him, did you?!"
Poetic Spring didn't answer, the blush on her face already showed everything.
Aige fell silent. Falling for the same person as a friend, how absurd...
