Chapter 401

The whole event lasted up until two in the morning.

And throughout the entire evening, the players enjoyed a delectable banquet, exchanged real-life contact information with one another, sang various karaoke songs on stage at the front of the venue, and even participated in some popular games typically played at parties.

Of course, not everyone enjoyed such lively atmosphere.

Some players preferred a quieter setting and chose to sit on the couches with their friends as they either chatted or simply played games on their phones.

However, this didn’t last long.

Someone, though it’s unclear who, had the idea to ask Little Salty Cat whether each rooms in this hotel were truly equipped with VR pods and whether they could be used anytime…

Upon receiving Little Salty Cat’s affirmative response, one player immediately became excited:

“Wow, that’s great! The game is about to update soon, and there’s still a day left within the game. I need to earn some contribution points before the update rolls out. Perhaps I can even get the jobclass advancement slot!”

And so, this player left the event early to log into the game…

—To grind.

This person’s early departure quickly triggered a chain reaction.

After all, everyone there is a fan of Elven Kingdom.

Moreover, while many attendees were lucky enough to have already secured job class advancement slots, most of the playerbase still hadn’t.

“Damn! Maybe I should try again too, just in case I get lucky!”

“Yeah, I’m heading out too…”

“Yawn…I’m tired. I’m going back to my room to sleep.”

Once the first player left to grind inside the game, many others subsequently followed suit.

Gradually, the number of people at the event dwindled to nearly half as some participants took out their room keys and returned to their respective rooms to log into the game.

Of course, considering the fact that they could still log into the game while sleeping, many decided it was the ideal time to get some rest and logged in just as a habit.

Seeing the crowd thinning out and noticing even the remaining players looking exhausted, the energetic Little Salty Cat and a few others decided to suggest moving the rest of the event online.

This way, they could rest while extending the celebration.

Everyone quickly agreed, and instead of following the original plan, they returned to their rooms and logged into Elven Kingdom.

It was nighttime on earth.

However, in Seigües, it was still daytime.

The meetup attendees have decided to gather in the central square of Chosen City and started a second party there.

This time, even more players joined in.

Although many of those who came to the meet up in person couldn’t resist grinding after logging in, hoping for that last chance to get a jobclass advancement slot…

Players who hadn’t attended the meet-up and hadn’t earned the advancement rewards were very interested in the party at the central square.

Such organized large-scale gatherings were not common after all.

Not to mention that several major guilds organized the event, offering free food and drinks!

It’s also worth noting that the major guilds had evolved significantly compared to beforehand.

After developing trade agreements with some locals and creating a variety of new dishes, their banquets had seen a significant enhancement.

Nowadays, their cuisine was much more refined compared to their parties with only basic meat barbecues and fruit of their earlier days.

As a result, what started as a second party for players who logged into the game quickly turned into a server-wide celebration.

Even some NPCs joined in.

Including a certain black dragon that had recently ascended to the peak of Gold-rank (level 90).

Naturally, as a member of the dragon race with a golden lineage, the great black dragon Meryer had now acquired the ability to shapeshift and transform into a humanoid form.

Since having a smaller human form allowed him to eat more food servings, Meryer chose to transform into a black-haired, red-eyed young man.

He moved through the banquet with relish, whilst indulging himself eagerly to the fullest extent of his capacity.

“Meryer, you rascal! Mind your manners while eating! You’ve already taken a human form, so stop acting like a wild monkey! Aren’t you supposed to be a noble dragon?!”

Little Salty Cat, who was maintaining order at the event, was exasperated as she watched Meryer with his face smeared in meat oil.

But she was met with his childish yet proud rebuttal:

“Ruah~! You wouldn’t understand, this is the great Meryer’s unique way of eating. Ahh~ this dessert is truly amazing! It’s just as good as roasted barbecue meat!”

Little Salty Cat: “…”

I feel tired.

After managing the meetup event in real life, she still had to keep an eye on this glutton online!

Moreover, as soon as she looked away, Meryer had already scarfed down the most challenging cake to make.

Many people hadn’t even had a chance to try it!

As Little Salty Cat sighed helplessly, a clear and melodious female voice sounded beside her.

“Let him eat to his heart’s content. He’s only recently awakened, so he must be really starving.”

She turned to look at the ever-so smiling Feng beside her and pouted:

“Sister Feng, you have no idea. This guy is getting more and more out of hand, especially after his recent promotion.”

Feng simply chuckled softly in response.

After venting her frustrations, Little Salty Cat decided to stop worrying about the increasingly mischievous antics of the black dragon as she looked at Feng with a bit of regret.

“Sister Feng, it’s such a shame you didn’t come to the meetup back in the real world.”

“You wouldn’t believe it! we actually had 518 players show up in the venue!”

“Even Sister Birdy, Brother Mu, and the others came, along with Calabash, Optimist, and Chopin.”

“Look, look! I even took a bunch of photos and videos with some of them! Here, let me show you!”

With that, she sat down next to Feng and opened the online album on her game system to show her.

Players could see each other’s system interfaces, as long as the angle was right.

So, Little Salty Cat eagerly showed Feng the photos and videos she had taken during the earlier event:

“Haha, look at Brother Mu! I always thought he would be a skinny and frail guy, but he’s actually so tall and strong looking…”

“And guess who this handsome guy is? Sister Feng, you’ll never guess but it’s actually Demacia! Oh my gosh… I can hardly believe it… It’s such a pity you missed it…”

“And then there’s Sister Yuanjuan. Look, she’s not even taller than me in real life! I always imagined her to be like her in-game avatar, with a fantastic model-like figure. But she’s actually pretty fun! And a die-hard fan of the Goddess!”

“Oh, and did you know? Back when we were rewriting the sacred codex on an earlier quest, she snuck in so much of her own personal stuff. If Brother Mu hadn’t been watching her, she would have turned the Life Codex into the Codex of the Goddess of Beauty, hahaha…”

“And then there’s…”

Little Salty Cat continously chattered on happily.

Meanwhile, Evé, who was in disguise as Feng, mostly just smiled in response as she listened quietly.

Although she hadn’t attended the offline meetup in person, she had actually monitored it online by hacking through the hotel’s surveillance cameras.

Nevertheless, watching through a screen was entirely different from sitting next to Little Salty Cat and hearing her personal recounting of everything that had transpired.

As Evé continued to silently listened…

Her feelings…

Felt rather complicated.

There was a strange sense of accomplishment.

At the same time, she also felt a touch of envy.

And perhaps, even just a little hint of regret…

“Looks like, you had a great time.”

She murmured whilst sighing lightly.
