Elf Kingdom:Game of the World Tree Chapter 103 – Chapter 103: Chapter 103: NPC Quest System

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: NPC Quest System

“`html

The NPC task system was something Eve had considered for a long time.

As it stood, the game tasks in “Elf Kingdom” were primarily issued and settled by Eve herself, even the daily tasks granted by Alice were supported behind the scenes by Eve.

Though she had been reborn as the World Tree, this level of computation was as simple as eating and drinking water in her past life, but that was because there were still very few players.

Two closed beta tests were enough.

For the next recruitment, Eve planned to officially commence the open beta!

By then, there would be a massive influx of players, reaching tens of thousands.

And as the number of players increased, it would be impossible for Eve to manage everything personally; many things could be delegated to the native elves.

Eve's plan was to connect the game system she designed with her faith channel, delegating part of the game management authority to her believers, truly incorporating them as NPCs in the game!

This… was the NPC task system!

Specifically, it entailed distributing a portion of game permissions to her believers based on the level of their faith, creating NPC templates that allowed them the autonomy to issue tasks to players and distribute rewards.

This was somewhat like turning “Elf Kingdom” into a corporation.

Eve was the boss, her believers were the employees, and the players were their clients and cash cows.

The higher the faith level in Eve, the greater the task NPC authority of the believers!

In Eve's plan, Saints were to be granted a purple NPC template, fanatics a blue NPC template, and devout believers a white NPC template.

Those who offered minimal faith wouldn't be integrated into the system.

If they wanted the ability to issue tasks to the Chosen Ones, they needed to praise the Goddess and become devout believers as soon as possible!

As for the sole golden NPC, that would be Eve herself.

The content of the tasks was to be set by the believers themselves.

The content could benefit the believers, but it must not harm and should even aid the Mother Goddess's interests, and serve as a positive feedback mechanism for the development of the elf civilization.

Of course, Eve would encourage believers to issue tasks that benefited her.

If a believer issued a task that made an outstanding contribution to her and civilization, Eve would reward the believer!

Given the nature of the elves in Segis World, Eve wasn't concerned about anyone causing trouble in this regard.

The rewards could be provided by the believers themselves, or they could be the experience points and contribution points allocated by Eve to them, and even the learning of certain skills and career changes!

Of course, the skills and job changes issued by NPCs were different from the “direct infusion” in the contribution mall.

The skills and career changes obtained from NPCs required players to learn from scratch like the native elves.

This was considered another path for civilian players!

After all, not everyone had the money to throw around for contribution points; out of over a thousand people, only one was like Little Xian Miao who treated money like paper.

The transcendent status of the contribution mall wouldn't change.

In addition, the experience points and contribution point quotas held by believers would also be linked to their level of faith.

The more devout the faith in Eve, the larger the allocated quota, and the greater the one-time distribution!

The quota would refresh every 24 hours and could not be accumulated.

Of course, the reward quota allocated to NPCs had to be below that of the main storyline.

The richest and most unique rewards had to be held in Eve's own hands!

However, daily tasks weren't subject to restrictions.

Daily tasks could be repeatedly accepted.

Generally speaking, the daily tasks in each period were Eve's development plans for that period.

For instance, the current daily tasks were the expansion of Elf Town and the restoration of the Holy City of Feilengcui.

And for daily tasks, Eve would specially design a silver daily task NPC template that could be compatible with the ordinary NPC template.

For example, Saintess Alice could have both the daily task NPC template and the purple NPC template simultaneously.

This meant that while issuing unrestricted daily tasks, she could also distribute NPC tasks according to her own preferences to the players.

Once this system was activated, the gameplay of the entire game would become more diverse!

At the same time, Eve would be somewhat relieved of issuing tasks, only needing to oversee the backstage system operation and main storyline.

And for the believers, it would once again ignite their enthusiasm for faith and deepen their interactions with the players.

*Eve could already vaguely foresee that all players would turn into the loyal dog fans of the elves… especially those devout elves.*

Moreover, Eve also planned to evaluate the “performance” of all believers' tasks every few months or a year.

Those believers who made significant contributions to the development of civilization, the spread of faith, or the enhancement of Eve's power would be richly rewarded!

This was meant to ignite the enthusiasm of the believers and guide the direction of their task distribution.

*Ah, she was just too clever!*

Eve was very pleased.

*These plans… she had thought of them long ago.*

However, before transforming into the Divine Country, Eve's grasp of faith was still rough and couldn't connect the two systems well.

But now she could.

Thinking of this, Eve quickly began the necessary preparations to formally establish the NPC task system!

…

On the outskirts of Elf Town.

Black Dragon Mairrel gnawed on roasted meat, sniffling,

“It's so tragic! The Elf Clan is so tragic!”

“I've heard of the famous Elf Clan but never seen this beautiful race. Never thought peace-loving they would be so tragic…”

Just now, Little Xian Miao narrated the history of the elves over the past thousand years to Mairrel in story form.

To make it more sentimental, Little Xian Miao searched online for tragic stories from Blue Star, purposely chose the sorrowful ones, embellishing them into a modified elf version.

Considering that this black dragon had been misled by the Half-Beast before, she didn't directly mention that the ones persecuting the elves were the Half-Beast and humans nor did she describe what an elf looked like.

This black dragon with incomplete inheritance… didn't even know that the ones who captured him were elves!

The final outcome was that Mairrel was completely immersed in the story…

“So… the evil forces must be eliminated! Ah, I don't know where the elves are now. If Mairrel knew where they were, Mairrel would surely help them!”

Mairrel spoke earnestly while eating the roasted meat.

Upon hearing it, Little Xian Miao smiled slightly.

She pointed at several Flame Tribe elves visiting Elf Town in the distance, and said,

“They are elves.”

Then she pointed at herself,

“I am counted as a special elf too.”

At that moment, Mairrel's eyes widened in disbelief,

“Impossible!”

He spat out the roasted meat in his mouth instantly, his dragon aura flared in anger, and he roared furiously,

“You evil long ears, you're lying to me!”

Little Xian Miao jumped in fright.

However, she still mustered the courage to say a few words,

“Your notions are merely instilled by the Half-Beast. What I haven't told you is that the race persecuting the elves in the story was the Half-Beast!”

“You can find out these matters with slight inquiries in human society! The previous coercion by the Half-Beast was just trying to capture elves to sell them as slaves to humans.”

“As for us, we are merely resisting.”

Listening to Little Xian Miao, Mairrel was dumbfounded.

He glanced at the peaceful and lively atmosphere in the distant town, his expression gradually turning bewildered.

Little Xian Miao wanted to say more, but her thoughts were interrupted by a system notification that suddenly appeared in her view—

[Announcement: “Elf Kingdom” will undergo a version update at Blue Star's next day 00:00. Please prepare for logging out in advance.]

Version update?

Little Xian Miao was quite curious.

She checked the time, hesitated for a moment, and said to Mairrel,

“Think about it carefully yourself! I'm leaving now.”

With that, she got up and left.

Leaving Black Dragon alone in a daze.
