Chapter 683: Leaving in Reluctance
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
It must be noted that by now, many players had finished playing Dungeon Fighter Online after getting the best equipment, and those who hadn’t were close. Therefore, many Dungeon Fighter Online players were trying World of Warcraft.
It was why each spawn place was bustling with players.
In World of Warcraft, the players could resurrect after death, but it was not as convenient as other games.
After death, the players had to choose to release their souls. The souls would resurrect in the nearby graveyard and had to return to find their corpses to resume the game.
If the souls gave up on their corpses, they could talk to the Spirit Healers who looked like angels, and they could resurrect the players with the penalty of durability loss to all items and resurrection sickness.
With resurrection sickness, the players couldn’t do quests and level up.
When Elf Girl Sala opened her eyes again, she found herself in a grey world with the huge shadow of a Spirit Healer standing by the graveyard.
Having not died before while she did quests in a team, Sala was panicking when she saw this scene. “Where am I?”
Also, she felt like her body was as light as a soul, and she was powerless.
This elf was confused and lost in this strange grey world.
“How come your World of Warcraft looks like this now?” The nearby elves put down their virtual reality headsets and looked over.
“I don’t know...” Sala looked lost. “I got here after death... I feel like I’ve become a ghost. The Forsaken is dead already, right? How come I can die again?”
“It seems like I must run back to my corpse or resurrect in this place with resurrection sickness...” Sala said, “I choose to resurrect here. Undercity looks very far from here...”
“Okay.” The other elves of the elf team said, “We’ll get ourselves familiar with the Undercity first.”
There were about 10 members in the Snow Pigeon Team of the Elf Clan. Right Now, six of them chose a different path and joined the strange Forsaken race led by Queen Sylvanas.
Including the elves outside of the Snow Pigeon Team, there were about 10 elves who had chosen this race.
They were not leveling up together; only six of them were with Nalan Mingxue, including Sala and the other two female elves, Rowling and Ace. Other than the Team Captain, there were two male elves, Roger and Slone.
However, Nalan Mingxue and her companions still couldn’t tell them apart except for the mature-looking elf captain and the vivacious Sala who had just fallen into the elevator shaft.
In fact, the elves were also confused with names such as ‘Nalan Mingxue’ and ‘Lan Yan’ which sounded quite strange to them. But it didn’t matter. After all, they had just met today. Even if they made mistakes with people’s names, it was no big deal. Instead, it might be a source of fun in the virtual reality world of the game.
“Should we tour around Undercity first?” Lin Shao suggested.
“We are thinking about it too.” Captain Lance said, “We’re new here and must get familiar with the map.”
He opened the magic map in his hand. In the system version of the game, each player had a magic map which could automatically draw out the general terrain of the surrounding area and note down the positions of teammates and the places to accept quests.
The Undercity in the system version was obviously bigger than the one in the original version. Even though the Forsaken wasn’t a race with a large population, it still had a residential zone where many members of the Forsaken lived. Like players, many ordinary undead had woken up in Deathknell.
The whole Undercity was built under Lordaeron with many tunnels leading to different places. Like a luxurious underground kingdom, its area was several times bigger than the ruins of Lordaeron Kingdom.
“According to the executive officer of Deathknell, we should go and find...” Elf Captain Lance consulted the map and said, “the...um... Bethor; it will greet us in this city?”
Lan Yan also consulted the map. “We’ll find this place soon if we go in this direction...”
Ten minutes later...
“How come we’re still not there? This is the end of the road?”
20 minutes later...
They looked at the map. “It should be here...?”
One hour later...
“Ugh... we’re lost...” They looked at the map in bafflement.
“It seems... the Undercity has another level?”
...
“Sala, are you here?” Rowling, another female elf in the team, asked.
She turned her head and looked. “How come you’re still in the graveyard?!”
At this moment, words appeared on everyone’s screen. [Your time is up.]
“...”
...
“Oh, I’m so weak... I met mobs soon after I walked out of the graveyard and died many times,” Sala got offline reluctantly and complained.
“How are you guys doing...? It’s been a long while; you must be many levels higher than me now,” Sala asked sullenly.
“We’re lost...” The elves said with dark expressions. “...”
They got offline, and some players who had been waiting in line replaced them on the computers, finally getting the chance to play World of Warcraft.
“There are so many people in this mystical realm...” Elder Sewell got offline and clicked her tongue while saying, “I’ve never seen another mystical realm with so many people before.”
Besides the elves, the dwarves, mages and even mercenaries were talking about the game while they walked out of the shop.
“You would never imagine such a mystical realm!” Dwarf Elder Sauk said to the white-haired and white-robed Mage Adolf in a loud voice, “The grand Ironforge is not like our city, but I assure you that you will fall in love with it the moment you see it! Just imagine countless diligent dwarves working hard in the castle that was dug out by our clansmen in the belly of the snowy mountains. This feeling...”
“You must go and see Stormwind City!” Adolf said with a laugh, “The statues of heroes, the busy commercial zone, the mage zone with tranquil and elegant violet-colored rooves... Oh! We also have the Wine Festival. Do you know about that?”
Walking on the street of Canglan City, Grand Mage Adolf said with excited hand gestures, “Now that we mention wine, you can’t miss the Dalaran black wine in Stormwind City. Its taste is unique and rich; you must try it.”
Although they already got offline, the players walked out of the shop reluctantly.
