I Like It Here

Wind is a very strange player.

Xiao Xianmiao thinks so.

At first, she thought that the other party might belong to the kind of leisure and entertainment scenery party.

But soon, some of Wind's actions made her overturn her previous speculation.

Wind was neither excited to look around for beautiful scenery to take pictures with, nor did she ask her where the scenery was the most magnificent.

This makes Xiao Xianmiao, who is half a life player, obviously have a good idea, but can't suggest it.

However, the Wind seems to have a soft spot for the food of this world.

Along the way, whenever she sees food she's interested in, she will stop to taste it.

It's like a traveler who hasn't tasted food for a long time.

In addition, she seems to be no stranger to this world. Although Xiao Xianmiao can't say why, she just has this feeling.

Maybe... it's the free-spirited state when the wind is playing.

There is no restraint, nor the excitement of coming from her, but it is like visiting the back garden of her own home...

Hmm... I must be thinking too much.

Xiao Xianmiao shook her head.

However, she was even more curious about the Wind.

This strange player is very gentle, and she always has a faint smile on her face, especially when she sees players who are excited to do tasks, her smile seems to become softer.

In addition, she also likes to move around very much. Xiao Xianmiao has been with her for a long time, and she has been hanging out.

It seemed... she was enjoying the walk.

"Do you like this kind of walk?"

In the end, Xiao Xianmiao couldn't help her curiosity.

Hearing Xiao Xianmiao's question, Wind turned around, and the emerald-colored star pupils shone with some kind of deep light.

She put a small red berry into her mouth, and her voice was ethereal:

"I like the feeling of freedom."

Your freedom...

Xiao Xianmiao's heart moved, and for some reason, she suddenly thought of herself in reality.

Faintly, she also had a resonance.

But at this moment, Wind seemed to be more mysterious in her heart.

"She, like... like a princess who imprisoned in the castle..."

Somehow, Xiao Xianmiao came up with such an idea.

She felt that she must have read too many fairy tales!

However, as soon as the idea came to her, she felt that the other party really fit such a role...

Although only the most basic system characters are used,

But it couldn't hide the mystery and nobility in Wind...

Although close at hand,

But Wind gives people a feeling that they will leave here in the next second and return to their own place...

She never seemed to belong here.

She also doesn't seem to intend to really fit in here.

Her world, her future, doesn't seem to be here.

She, like a lonely wanderer, just for a break, a rest.

Soon, she will set off again...

She must be lonely, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xianmiao hesitated and invited:

"That... Tonight, we will hold a large-scale bonfire party in the square to welcome new players. Would you... Would you want to participate?"

Hearing Xiao Xianmiao's words, Wind was slightly startled.

I saw a bright light flashing in her eyes, and then nodded lightly:

"It's good."

...

Night fell soon.

After the lead of the players in the first beta test, the players in the second beta test also gradually became familiar with the gameplay of "Elf Kingdom".

While praising the game really deserved its reputation, they also accepted the banquet invitations from the old players.

I don't know when, bonfire parties have become the norm for "Elf Kingdom" celebrations.

A four-meter-high pile of firewood had been set up in the middle of the square and was lit amidst cheers and whistles.

The scorching flames were seven or eight meters high, illuminating the entire square brightly.

In the first test, the players set up a long banquet in the square. The ingredients were all kinds of berries from the Elf forest, some unnamed nuts with good taste, and delicious meat grilled after hunting monsters.

Of course, the placement of the latter was specially concealed, so as not to be seen by Alice and Berserker, which would inevitably be another reprimand.

In addition, some players brought honey from the forest, and made honey tea with a plant similar to the blue star chrysanthemum, which is right as a drink.

The players gathered together in twos and threes, hooking their shoulders.

Some players specially created board games, and a group of people gathered together, playing happily and laughing.

Some players in the internal test explored the PK system in the square, consuming contribution points for two-player PK, the magic and sword skills were bright and incomparably gorgeous, causing a crowd of onlookers and applause.

There are also big players who specially made earthen guitars with wood and the hair on the monsters, and sang while playing, which caused the whistling and applause of the players...

The whole square is immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Xiao Xianmiao and Wind sat on a square mat made of rattan, while tasting the delicious mountain and wild food of the banquet, while admiring the grand scene on the square.

The wind's expression is very soft.

Her eyes shone with little stars under the light of the fire, like the sparkling lake in the sun.

Seeing her focused expression, the corners of Xiao Xianmiao's mouth gradually rose.

"The degree of freedom in this game is very high, so... as long as it is something we want to accomplish, we can almost do it. We have held this kind of bonfire party many times since the server started..."

Saying that, Xiao Xianmiao stretched, took a sip of sweet honey tea, and said with a smile:

"Speaking of which, it's also interesting. Logically speaking, many of us actually don't like socializing very much in reality...but we fell in love with the bonfire carnival in the game."

Wind did not speak, but sat beside her, eating fruit while listening to her quietly.

"Many of my members have told me that they are actually quite introverts..."

As Xiao Xianmiao spoke, her expression gradually became dazed:

"But...here, it's different."

Looking at the happy smiling faces, her expression gradually softened:

"I was quite surprised when they told me at first. Because in my eyes, everyone is quite outgoing and enthusiastic. I really can't imagine that many people are dull and introverted in reality."

"In the past, someone told me... that many people don't like to socialize, but it's not really introverted, but they see through the sophistication in reality and hate those hypocritical, superficial useless communication..."

"They prefer to stay in their own real little world rather than the virtual and fake relationship."

"But that doesn't mean they don't really like interacting with people, they just don't know the right people."

"People who are not on the same channel can't chat together..."

"People with the same frequency, even if they go over mountains and mountains, will eventually get together; people with different magnetic fields, even if they get along day and night, they will not be the same after all."

"Before, I didn't know the meaning of these words, and I didn't have a sense of identification with them."

"But after coming to this game, I think...I finally know the meaning of these words."

Saying that, Xiao Xianmiao drank the honey tea in the cup, and a sweet smile opened on the corner of his mouth:

"Here, everyone has found their home... You don't have to hide yourself, you don't have to hide your thoughts, everyone seems to have started a new wanton life."

"Perhaps...that's the charm of this game."

After a while, Xiao Xianmiao sighed:

"This game... really has a different kind of magic, and sometimes, I really hope it's not a game, but a real world."

"I really want to say thank you to the people who made this game."

"Thank you...they paint another beautiful life for us..."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"..."

A loud noise interrupted Xiao Xianmiao's speech.

The two raised their heads subconsciously and looked into the air.

There, the "fireworks" cast by magic are blooming one after another...

Colorful and very beautiful.

The brilliance of magic was reflected in Xiao Xianmiao's pupils, shining brightly.

Just like her current mood.

Wind turned her head to the side, her gaze stopped on Xiao Xianmiao's side face, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"You really like this game."

Xiao Xianmiao nodded fiercely while watching the magic fireworks, her voice unwavering:

"Of course!"

"nice! You love it."

Wind smiled, then stood up gently.

Seeing Wind that suddenly got up, Xiao Xianmiao was slightly stunned:

"You... where are you going?"

"It's getting late, I should go back."

said Wind.
