Night Whisper Village

After five minutes, Xiao Yu realized that he was already inside a house after a flash of white light.

Alucard Night's room. The system was really considerate to even have a house prepared.

That was also one of the advantages of Civilian Mode—being able to have one's own residence. Of course, the number of Civilian Mode players in each village was fixed, so if all rooms were taken, then Civilian Mode players would not be able to be born here. Naturally, Xiao Yu's room was the type that was the most simple and crude, thus if one wanted to live in a better house, then one would just have to spend Scroll Points to buy them.

It was a good thing that Night Whisper Village was not a Novice Village that was especially famous. This meant that there were not many Adventurers and Civilians present.

Xiao Yu stood up while deep in thought and moved his body about. The Night Elf's body was really much better than the Goblin's. A Night Elf was tall and had a strong build, totally unlike the Goblins, where one had to look up at everything.

Xiao Yu sized up his appearance in the mirror as he directly scanned his looks from reality. He looked average but slightly older. It could not be helped, because male Night Elves always gave people the image of uncles.

Civilian Mode players had their own way of playing, and that was to experience life, experience the daily lives of different races, and enjoy the spectacular scenery of the game world. It was said that many casual players would choose Civilian Mode to relax in the game and make friends. Compared to those battle-type players, Civilian players could be said to be playing a completely different game.

However, that did not mean Civilian Mode players did not spend money. In fact, the spending of Civilian Mode was high too.

For example, the house Xiao Yu was in could be described as having nothing but four bare walls. If one wanted to play regularly, then they would naturally have to buy some furniture, or when they go out shopping, they would want to buy some clothes, or they would at least need to spend money to buy food to eat.

Also, if one had a girlfriend in the game, then one would have to give some flowers or accessories as gifts, right? If the atmosphere was right and one wanted to hold the hand of his girlfriend, then one was also able to spend money to activate the OOXX1 system. That's right, in the Firmament world, players could activate the OOXX system, but it was only limited to Civilian players, and the amount of money spent was quite high.

However, Xiao Yu was not interested in that at all. If he wanted to hold hands, naturally he would play those adult games. What kind of beauty couldn't be found there?

Xiao Yu took a look at his clothes. He was wearing the simplest jacket and leather pants, so he looked just like a normal Night Elf civilian. He left his house and walked on the streets of Night Whisper Village.

He looked around at the scenery of the surroundings and could not help but gasp at how poetic the place the Night Elves lived was. Naturally, it was not his first time seeing it, but he still could not help but be astonished. There were no buildings in Night Whisper Village that, strictly speaking, could be called a house. In their place were all kinds of tree towers and tree houses. With decorations that were filled with the Night Elves' style, such peculiar housing was formed. The atmosphere was extremely peaceful in the village as people walked around the streets, sat under the long benches under tree shade to read books, or couples displaying their affection with each other. With such a casual and laid-back atmosphere that could never be found in reality, it was no wonder why so many people would come into this game to relax.

In the shops at the two sides of the streets, clothing made of Mageweave Cloth or Moon Cloth and gemstone accessories of all kinds and colors were being sold. The clothing style of Night Elves was natural and elegant, and the jewelry was natural and luxuriant, thus they were popular amongst Civilian players. The prices of such items were high, so Xiao Yu could not understand at all why there would be people who would spend hundreds of Scroll Points just to buy clothing or accessories without any attributes. However, that did not stop this place from being the gathering ground of casual players.

However, Xiao Yu was not here to see the scenery, but instead was here to scout the terrain.

As he walked a few rounds following the village's streets, he was quickly familiarized himself with Night Whisper Village. Night Whisper Village was quite small, so besides those unrelated buildings that did not have any meaning and the tree houses belonging to Civilians, Xiao Yu mainly paid attention to the defense system and the shrine in the village.

There was no Watch Tower or Castle in Night Whisper Village—there were no walls even. However, outside the village, a whole circle of thorn grass was grown, thus forming a defense with thorns. One would definitely need to pay an extremely huge price to charge through that defense.

There was no actual door in Night Whisper Village either—there were just two thorn trees at the two sides of the village's exit. Once it was nighttime, they would grow thorns to block the exit of the village.

The main defensive strength was an Ancient Tree of War and two Ancient Tree Guardians. Those huge Treants as tall as seven to eight meters looked quite frightening. The good thing was that this world was a game, thus the size did not completely represent their strength. Xiao Yu felt that as long as he had the chance to attack, it would be no problem facing one single-handedly since fire attacks could deal higher damage to Treants.

The Night Elves in the village were mostly Civilians that did not have much battle strength. There were around 30-40 guards, and they were mostly level 10 or higher Night Elf Warriors and Night Elf Archers. Although their battle strength was slightly stronger than that of monsters of the same grade, the huge advantage in numbers gave Xiao Yu the confidence to annihilate them all in one shot. However, Xiao Yu felt that the village head of Night Elves would be troublesome because he was a level 17 Elite, Archdruid—Manster•Moonwalker. He had a total of 1,500 HP, which was more than two times higher than Hogg, thus it could be seen that an Elite Night Elf was completely a different concept from an Elite wild monster.

However, if it was just these NPCs, then Xiao Yu would think nothing of this attack, because he had a few hundred troops from the alliance of five forces. Just using their numbers, the Archdruid could be killed.

What Xiao Yu was most worried about was still the Adventurers because they could revive infinitely. Although resurrecting continuously would increase the revival time, they were still quite a huge problem. However, if they made the move at night, then there would be no such problem.

As he was deep in thought, Xiao Yu arrived at a tavern in Night Whisper Village. This was the last place of his scouting. Besides the guards, Adventurers, village head, and the Ancient Tree of War in the village, the only other battle strength would be the Mercenaries in the Tavern. Although Mercenaries would normally only battle if they received money, who knew if the village head would spend a huge amount of money to hire all the Mercenaries.

Normally, there would be only three to five Mercenaries in the Tavern of such a small village—the numbers wouldn't be too high.

After entering and taking a look, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief. It was indeed as he had predicted, there were only three Mercenaries, a Ranger, a Druid, and a Warrior. They were all normal Mercenaries that had not even reached level 10, so their battle strength was even weaker than that of Adventurers of the same level. There was no need to worry at all.

(Mercenaries were also split into different grades that could be differentiated using the color of their names. White-Normal, Green-Excellent, Blue-Elite, Silver-Elite, Golden-Legendary, Orange-Legendary)

Just as Xiao Yu was about to turn and leave while deep in thought, the door of the Tavern was suddenly opened and a female Night Elf Bandit walked inside with silent footsteps. Xiao Yu's heart instantly thumped as the name of that female Night Elf Bandit was silver—Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser. She was that level 47 Mercenary that had wiped out the Goblin camp that day. No, now she was already level 48.
