The Elf Race of Complete Weirdos
Elves are a race known for their beauty and elegance.
Regardless of age or gender, they all possess a face and body that would be considered quite handsome by most intelligent beings.
Why the vast majority? Because there are always intelligent beings like pure-blooded Orcs who like big muscles and Luo Jieer who like dragons. Unless Brain Control magic is used, there is no way to correct their XP systems.
Regarding the origin of the Elf Race's beauty, all current evidence suggests that it is due to the favor of the Goddess of Beauty.
Because of her favor, the Goddess of Beauty collected impressions of "beauty" from all living beings on the continent, integrated them, and selected the most common features—that is, the characteristics that best fit the preferences of intelligent beings—and molded them into the current appearance of the Elf Race, which is why they conform to the aesthetics of the vast majority of people.
Naturally, a very senior magician raised a question about this matter:
"If we can change most people's perception of beauty, is it possible to manipulate the appearance of Elf Race?"
"If we can get the vast majority of people to think that tentacle monsters are beautiful, then will the Elf Race become like that?"
Before this research could even be brought to the Magic Association's meeting table, news came that the magician who raised the question had committed suicide by being shot in the back. At the same time, the elves, together with other races in the Elven Forest, conducted joint military exercises, and even the Forest Guardian God were taken out for a stroll.
Thus, the research on manipulating the appearance of Elf Race was abandoned and never mentioned again.
Even today, people still don't understand whose preference it is for most elves to have green hair, pointed ears, bra sizes that never exceed C cup, and a slender figure that looks like it could break at the slightest touch. There are quite a few people who like voluptuous figures, so why can't all Elf Race have F cups?
One day everyone will like those who have lofty ambitions!
"Look, it's those elves who are behind this."
Following people's gaze, graceful figures emerged from the shadows cast by the bulletin board and appeared before them.
Seeing elves isn't unusual, but seeing so many at once is quite Dong Xue Lian, especially since the elves are undeniably beautiful, and people are craning their necks to get a better look.
This is amazing! Wow, it's practically a mishmash of XP styles, and everyone can find one that suits their aesthetic.
Leading the group was Elf Auntie exuded a mature charm, like a ripe peach.
There was an Elf Big Sister with a mean and wicked smile, who looked like a little devil.
There was a girl with a blank expression, wearing thick glasses and carrying a book, who was like a three-nothing elf.
There Cool Elf Bro wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his face and posing with his arms crossed.
Behind them are all sorts of handsome men and beautiful women, each with their own unique appearance, each one striking a chord with the audience. There must be more than twenty of them in total, right?
"Quack, that's so cool!"
Some people exclaimed in surprise, their eyes sparkling with hearts.
These elves seem to have a low-level charm spell permanently attached to them; as long as they're in a good ball zone, they'll develop a liking for them just by looking at them.
The Elf Auntie, seemingly the leader of the group, smiled and waved gently to the excited crowd, looking like Queen inspecting her people. Every move she made was like a gentle breeze. Her beauty was truly breathtaking.
The flowers and plants growing out of the cracks in the paving stones are taller than a person, and large amounts of petals fall down, bringing visual enjoyment while also filling the noses of onlookers with a refreshing fragrance.
They even have special effects when they appear!
"What the heck, these elves are so pretentious." Lu Lu Wo on the stage gritted her teeth. Her limelight had been completely stolen, and even the people who were buying books had gone to see the elves.
She turned her head and saw that her teammates were also watching the Pokémon, so she puffed up her cheeks even more angrily, like a little pufferfish saying "Don't touch me."
The elves stole everyone's attention the moment they appeared. Even though people had never seen these elves before, it was like a fan meeting. You could only say that the elves' entrance effects and their good looks were just too amazing.
"Hey, is it you guys who messed up the square?" Just then, an old but strong voice rang out. The Elf Auntie looked over and saw a sprightly old lady with colorful arm sleeves on her arms, the symbol of the chief sanitation manager of Bede City.
Elf Auntie smiled at the other person and slowly parted her sexy red lips.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh at your big-headed Goblin!" The old woman's words choked the goblin to the throat, and the elf looked bewildered.
"Why are you making that face? Don't you understand what happened? You country bumpkin from the forest are ignorant and don't even know the rules."
Just as the Cool Elf Bro showed an angry expression, the old lady, while nagging incessantly, wrote a ticket and slapped it on his forehead.
"Go and pay the fine within two days, you ignorant bumpkin! I just cleaned the square!"
The old lady walked away with her hands behind her back, and it wasn't until she picked up a broom and started cleaning up the petals on the ground that the elves came to their senses.
There's an incredible magic about older people; once they start nagging, it's impossible to find any reason to argue with them!
The Cool Elf Bro looked at the ticket on his forehead and turned to look at the Elf Auntie.
The latter looked at the flowers and plants on the ground, then at the old woman sweeping alone, sighed, and said in a wise voice:
Please help.
Soon after, a strange sight appeared in the square.
The previously arrogant elves, each armed with a broom, began cleaning the square, occasionally being nagged by a seemingly ordinary old lady.
Someone heard the Cool Elf Bro complaining.
"What kind of blockhead used High-Level Plant Growth Technique? It's so troublesome to clean up. Did the tentacle monster suck his brain away?"
Upon hearing this, the girl with no personality silently turned her head away and secretly pointed at the floor tiles under the cool guy. Immediately, a loud popping Boom Fruit grew under his feet, startling him into a scream like that of a young girl.
The Elf Big Sister swept the streets a few times and then disappeared; no one knew where she went.
However, Gong Qiying saw it clearly because the elf looked familiar to him. After thinking for a while, he realized that it was actually Si Telan's sister, Mei Erjia.
The guy pretended to tidy up a bit before running into the nearest tavern to drink heartily, like a long-abstinent old drunkard.
"I haven't seen her in a long time. I guess she went back to her hometown."
Mei Erjia, an elite member of the Exploration Team alongside Leon, the Holy Light Knight, and others, was the only one who failed to receive the completion reward. Her bad luck was enough to make Gong Qiying remember her.
Moreover, she is the only person in the Zane Dungeon to date to have been knocked down from mid-air by Crystal Lizard and died in a crash. This record has not been broken yet, mainly because there are no more Crystal Lizard on the current map.
From the moment she interacted with Si Telan, Gong Qiying felt that this elf was a very eccentric person. She didn't expect that the large group of elves she brought back this time would be even more eccentric.
Look, the elves who were just cleaning are now having a buffet, and the food is naturally the flowers and plants on the ground that need to be cleaned!
If you eat all the "garbage," you won't need to clean up. What powerful logic!
But how did you manage to eat so much food in front of everyone? Is your mental fortitude as strong as your logic?
"It seems the book says that elves are vegetarians."
But Gong Qiying remembered that every time Si Telan entered the Gourmet Area, she ate meat with great relish, and went out every day with her big belly.
Looking at it this way, Si Telan is quite a character; are all Elf Race prone to producing such eccentric individuals?
That Elf Auntie was probably the only one who looked somewhat normal, right?
Gong Qiying turned her head and saw that the elegant and mature Elf Auntie had collected all the leaves and branches of the plants and stuffed them under her long, trailing skirt, while showing a look of rapture.
"It's delicious!"
"."
Leaving aside the question of what her purpose was in doing this, it's obvious that this guy's thinking is a bit strange.
"Hmm, I'm starting to wonder what kind of tricks they'll pull in my dungeon."
Since these elves don't play by the rules, is it possible to find an alternative way to clear the dungeon?
As the designer, he was really looking forward to it.
The Elf Race incident ended quickly; after cleaning up, they didn't stay in the square but went to wander around elsewhere.
Gong Qiying didn't follow them to watch, afraid that he would be mistaken for a peeping tom.
The Skyrim Strategy Team continued selling booklets, one batch after another, each time claiming it was the last remaining stock.
Thanks to their efforts, the two brand-new areas, [Raya Lucaria Magic Classroom] and [Lake Liurnia], appeared in the public eye at a remarkably fast pace.
Without Lu Lu Wo and the others, it would probably have taken several days to build up this level of popularity.
"Raya Lucaria" quickly became the most frequently mentioned term recently, and discussions about "Sorting Hat", "Star Magic", and so on also rose sharply.
People quickly put their knowledge into practice, personally venturing into the Zane Dungeon to investigate as soon as they received the intelligence.
According to the survey, about 76 percent of people still died from the trap of the randomly hidden door in the Classroom Area, even with a strategy guide.
Twenty-four percent of the people successfully dodged the trap, but the vast majority of them lost their first blood to the Puppet Soldier's crazy, insane combo attacks.
Those who managed to escape the trap and avoid the brutal combo attacks were able to find the Transfer Certificate, go to the real Classroom Area, and see the Sorting Hat.
These very few people successfully obtained magic, and they learned through guides that they could permanently cultivate magic in Lake Liurnia, so they excitedly went to find the seal.
Then he gave his precious first blood to Caria Knight Mugram.
Ordinary Caria Knight are formidable opponents for most adventurers, and very few people can enter the Lake District within two days. As a result, the Skyrim Strategy Team launched a "carry" service—helping others progress through the map as assistants, but occasionally things go wrong due to intruders.
Some people, unable to break through the seal, turned to the portal in Val City, which offered a similar route to the Lake District. However, the surrounding environment was unfriendly and the journey was too long.
Two days have passed since Lu Lu Wo released the information, and people are still trying things out in the dungeon. Those who want to go to the Val City portal are still halfway there on horseback.
There are still many things to discover about the Val Dungeon.
Many people don't realize that the newly emerged area of Lake Liurnia is ridiculously large, and that it will stay with them for a very long time, perhaps even affecting their entire lives.
During the build-up period before the hype truly exploded, Jia Paer and his group finally returned.
"I've finished writing it. After staying up all night, I've finally compiled all the intelligence on Lake Liurnia!"
Holding the thick manuscript, Luo Jieer on horseback was filled with excitement; even his dark circles couldn't hide his passion.
"I will be number one this time!"
The situation is different for Val and Thane. The Lake District alone contains content equivalent to the sum of several of Thane's current districts. The Magic Academy is also a major chapter in the main storyline, and it's unlikely to be finished in just a dozen or so chapters. I'm not intentionally dragging out the plot (sigh).
