Chapter 349: Chapter 332: Boss, Check the Official Website Quickly!

A sense of accomplishment and acceptance was a wondrous thing.

After playing "Elf Kingdom" for so long, without realizing it, Transforming Ji Gang felt that this place had become his second home.

He loved those silly players who messed around together, loved the lively and kind NPCs, loved every tree and blade of grass in the Elf Forest...

Standing in place for a while, he looked at the bustling and lively scene of Feilengcui. Seeing the happy expressions of the elven NPCs and their genuine smiles towards him, Transforming Ji Gang’s mood became increasingly cheerful and relaxed.

The warm sunlight on his body was very comfortable.

He squinted his eyes, thinking *how nice it would be if time could stop at this moment.*

However, when Transforming Ji Gang’s peripheral vision caught the time displayed on the game’s system in the corner of his view, his smiling expression gradually froze.

He slapped his thigh and cursed under his breath,

"Damn, why did time go by so fast? I was just getting started, and it’s already noon. I better finish the tasks and eat, or my mom will scold me again."

Recently, he had been playing the game too crazily, and his mother had been quite vocal about it.

On other occasions, it was fine, but during mealtime, he needed to be honest. Otherwise, his mom would start nagging about how she shouldn’t have bought him the stealth pod.

Thinking of this, Transforming Ji Gang picked up his pace and ran towards the church in Feilengcui...

The church in Feilengcui was renovated and expanded by the players on the foundation of the old church, integrating some styles from Blue Star and located in the most bustling and lively area of Feilengcui.

From time to time, one could see the figures of elven NPCs and players coming in and out of the church. The former mainly went there to pray, while the latter sought the Goddess’s statue to pray and enter the exchange mall system.

Like in many online games where the area near shops often became a gathering place for players, the large square in front of the Feilengcui church had also become the city’s liveliest spot, with hordes of players setting up stalls to sell things.

This was the second largest player gathering spot after the central square in Chosen City.

Moreover, because Feilengcui was the home of task NPCs, players often stayed in Feilengcui and its surroundings for efficiency while doing tasks. So, sometimes during the day, it was even busier than the central square of Chosen City.

Generally, those who gathered here were players in urgent need of contribution points, or players who had won or exchanged for equipment they didn’t really need from the mall, as well as players who needed certain task items urgently.

Transforming Ji Gang glanced at them and quickly entered the church.

He had received a herb-gathering task from a Silver Priest in Feilengcui. Having collected enough herbs, all that was left was to deliver them to the church.

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, the Nature Church was exceptionally quiet. It was said that the Priests had specifically set up a magic array here to block out noise.

Feeling the unique tranquility and solemnity of the church, Transforming Ji Gang’s mood involuntarily calmed down.

In the main hall of the church, there were quite a few tall figures standing still, both NPC believers and players.

They faced the sacred and beautiful statue of the Goddess in the center, praying devoutly.

Of course... the players’ prayers were merely for show; they were actually browsing the mall.

*Judging by someone’s silly grin, I could guess they probably won something from the prize pool.*

As for those with pained expressions, that was another story.

Transforming Ji Gang didn’t linger and instead followed the familiar route to the church school in the church’s side hall.

Although it was called a church school, it was actually just an attached side hall of the Nature Church, where the Priests preached to believers and cultivated new Natural Priests.

Upon arriving, Transforming Ji Gang saw a tall old elf wearing a Silver Priest Robe.

He held a heavy Natural Codex and stood on the podium, speaking to a dozen or so devout and serious elves wearing Apprentice Priest Robes below him...

The old elf’s name was Samir Wind, the highest-ranking Natural Priest in Feilengcui and a rare blue task NPC.

This time, it was he who issued the task that Transforming Ji Gang had taken.

As for those Apprentice Priests below, they were selected by the old priest from the elves returned to the Elf Forest. Many of them had been rescued by players from Fengye City and the underground cocoons some time ago.

During this period, they had fully integrated into the Elf Forest, become familiar with life here, were extremely devout in their faith in the Goddess, and... also incredibly grateful to the players who rescued them.

The number of elven NPCs in all of Feilengcui had already surpassed 1,000, with nearly half becoming devout believers, gaining the ability to issue tasks to players.

As the number of elves and players grew, the work of Natural Priests became increasingly complicated, so expanding the priest team made sense.

Unfortunately, "Elf Kingdom" had never opened the priest profession to players. Otherwise, a Natural Priest army could have been assembled in no time.

When Transforming Ji Gang saw the old priest, the old priest also saw him.

Samir smiled at him, put down the Natural Holy Scripture in his hand, instructed the other elves to do their homework first, and then walked toward Transforming Ji Gang.

As a devout believer awarded with divine arts by the Mother Goddess and tasked with settling tasks with the Chosen Ones, this had to be done first.

This was the consensus for every elf with the task ability.

Seeing this, Transforming Ji Gang quickly stepped forward, offering the herbs he had collected with both hands.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Transforming Ji Gang."

Receiving the herbs, a hint of a smile flashed in Samir’s eyes.

He nodded slightly to Transforming Ji Gang and drew a scepter-like symbol on his chest,

"May nature be with you!"

Accompanied by a light system chime, Transforming Ji Gang received 300 contribution points and 1,000 experience points, finally filling his experience bar, which had been just short.

Seeing this, a look of joy flashed across Transforming Ji Gang’s face.

He could finally advance to Black Iron Upper!

However, he soon noticed a detail.

Just now... what the old priest drew on his chest didn’t seem like the familiar tree symbol.

A system bug?

Transforming Ji Gang was a bit puzzled.

Seeming to notice his confusion, Samir smiled,

"This is the Mother Goddess’s new symbol. The Mother Goddess recently issued an oracle to replace the previous tree symbol with the Life Scepter symbol as her emblem. This news... will soon be announced throughout the Elf Forest."

So that’s what it was... was this a sign of a new storyline?

Transforming Ji Gang pondered with interest.

Having completed the task and said goodbye to the old priest, Transforming Ji Gang left the Natural Temple.

Then, filled with anticipation, he chose to advance and became the first Black Iron Upper expert among the third test players!

Feeling the stronger power coursing through his body and seeing his combat rating score shoot up in the system evaluation, Transforming Ji Gang’s mood was wonderful.

With his wish fulfilled, he could log off and eat peacefully.

However, just as he was about to head to Feilengcui’s temporary "morgue" to log off and eat, he heard a commotion coming from the square.

*What’s going on now?* he wondered.

He stopped an excited-looking player and curiously asked,

"What’s happening? Did someone trigger a new storyline again?"

The player was startled at first when suddenly grabbed, but then laughed upon seeing it was Transforming Ji Gang,

"Oh, it’s the famous Transforming Ji Gang from the Autobots!"

"Check the official website, there’s a new announcement! A new round of internal testing is about to begin!"
