Game of the World Tree: Extra Chapter 4: The Last Player (Part 1)
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the World Tree game!
Every game has an end.
Li Mu knew this from the beginning.
However, even though he clearly knows the power of time, when he sees his former teammates leaving one by one, there are fewer and fewer shining avatars in the friends column, and the world channel becomes more and more deserted, he will still feel lonely after all. .
Until...the day when all the avatars turn gray.
From that day on, the number of times he logged into "Elf Kingdom" became less and less.
It's not just that his physical condition is getting worse and worse, and he is increasingly unable to survive in stealth.
It is also because he is getting more and more lonely.
The lonelier and lonely you are, the more you want to log into the game to escape reality.
The more you are in the game and you don’t see those familiar figures, the more lonely you feel...
As a result, he even began to escape from the "Elf Kingdom".
"Grandpa Li, you forgot to pick up the newspaper you ordered!"
A crisp knock on the door came from outside, awakening Li Mu from his memories.
He stood up from the recliner and looked at his old self in the mirror, his eyes slightly dazed.
"It's been more than forty years..."
With a long sigh, he tremblingly walked out of the residence with his hands behind his back, opened the newspaper box and took out the newspaper.
Newspapers are such an ancient and tenacious existence.
Obviously so many years have passed, and it has obviously entered the paperless era, but it still exists firmly and stubbornly.
Li Mu had never looked at such antiques before.
After all, when did he start subscribing?
Oh...
He remembered.
It probably started when my old friend Xiao Xianmiao was finally gone...
The long time in the game made him think that he would have eternal youth.
However, the cruel reality is that, unknowingly, he has become as old and stubborn as the newspaper in his hand...
Abandoned by the times, forgotten by the years, he can only struggle alone in a corner, lingering.
Li Mu sighed and looked up at the sky.
The sun is shining brightly, and the flying cars are passing by, their taillights are flashing, and they are galloping among high-rise buildings.
In the lush sky garden, there are lush trees and flowers. You can see adults playing happily with their children and hear their happy laughter.
This is the best of times.
With advanced science and technology, happy people, peace and prosperity, everything is so beautiful.
However, Li Mu felt that he was out of tune with this world.
The excitement belongs to others.
But it doesn't belong to him.
Everyone he knew was gone.
All the familiar voices are gone.
Decades of time passed by like a cloud of smoke. When he finally came to his senses, he was the only one left unknowingly.
Time never stops.
But he is still living in the past.
He dedicated everything he had to "The Kingdom of Elf".
He is also a little confused as to whether he is the elf Li Mu or the human Li Mu...
He coughed violently several times, and the tissue in his hand was bloodshot.
Li Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The human body...is really a fragile existence.
Completely different from elves.
I cannot withstand the baptism of time, nor can I resist the coming of illness.
However, he no longer cares.
Since the last friend left "Elf Kingdom" forever, he has been dead in reality.
Now he is just a walking shell.
This is a wonderful era.
But it was not his time.
His era will forever remain in "The Kingdom of Elf".
His youth, his memories, all his good times.
It's all there.
Turn around and go back to your room, closing the door.
The hustle and bustle of the outside world is also isolated.
It's like two worlds.
Everything returned to peace, and Li Mu's mind also became calm.
Sitting back on the creaky reclining chair, he put on his reading glasses and opened the newspaper tremblingly. But the next moment, the hand holding the newspaper suddenly trembled.
Only the core page of the newspaper.
The huge text and title are very eye-catching——
"The end of an era: the virtual online game "Elf Kingdom" will be officially closed at 12 o'clock tonight. Thank you for your company."
"The server will be shut down..."Elf Kingdom"...will the server be shut down too?"
Li Mu's eyes widened slightly, and a trace of confusion appeared in his old and turbid pupils.
At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he had been completely abandoned by the whole world.
Discarding the newspaper on the ground, he stood up shakily and hurriedly walked to his stealth cabin.
The old submersible cabin has been outdated for an unknown number of generations, but Li Mu still takes care of it every day and maintains it as bright as new.
Nothing else.
This is his first time logging into the stealth cabin of "Elf Kingdom".
This is the entrance to the home.
Stretching out his hand, Li Mu wanted to open it, but his arm stopped in mid-air.
At this moment, he hesitated again.
He knew why he hesitated.
He is escaping.
Escape from "Elf Kingdom".
He was afraid that he would return to the game and see people he would never see again.
Those commemorative NPCs who were like the reincarnation of old friends, those elf companions who made it difficult for him to distinguish between reality and illusion...
Their laughter will make him feel happy, so happy that his heart aches.
Because that would make him feel like he was back in his own world. However, after waking up from the submersion cabin, what followed was even stronger loneliness and emptiness.
But...this time is different.
"It's over, everything is going to end."
"It's time to say goodbye to everyone."
Closing his eyes gently, Li Mu let out a long sigh.
He gently stroked the rough surface of the submersible cabin, and after a long time he opened his eyes again, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.
Taking a deep breath, he lifted the hatch of the stealth cabin and slowly opened it...
【Ding——】
【Game connection successful...】
【Logging in...】
[Game ID: Li Mu]
[Dear Chosen One, welcome back to "Elf Kingdom"! 】
Accompanied by the familiar melody and beautiful voice, Li Mu opened his eyes again.
What comes into view is the gorgeous elf-style bedroom, with the melodious elf flowing gently like a stream.
The fresh and pure air has a natural flavor and a taste of home.
Feeling the regained physical strength and energy, Li Mu felt as if he was alive again.
No longer a walking dead, no longer an empty shell.
He is back home.
Get up and wash up.
Then, put on your favorite elf commander costume.
This costume has accompanied him through thousands of battles, large and small, and is filled with his beautiful memories.
Wear the Lionheart Sword, pick up the staff of natural light, and polish the Druid's boots until they are shiny new.
Li Mu started a new day in "Elf Kingdom".
Also... it's the last day.
