Even junk could be sacrificed!
This fact was soon spread among the players.
Although the NPCs didn't permit the players to sacrifice junk, the players could exchange junk for contribution points if they drew the sacrificial circle themselves!
Some bigwigs speculated that this should be a bug of the game's sacrificial system.
After all, how could a deity collect junk?
How could the goddess who was high up in the air accept junk?
So there must be something wrong…
But some players believed that this might be a part of the game's sacrificial mechanism!
This was a game after all.
A deity in the game was not a true deity.
Maybe… This kind of sacrifice was actually a recycling mechanism in the game system, similar to the effect of selling junk to the merchants in other online games of before.
However, the players ultimately didn't care about the reason.
They only cared whether they could make money through this exploit.
The sacrificial circle received the junk equipment all the same and the system would give a small amount of contribution points in return.
Although there were barely more than a dozen contribution points each time, the players could earn a lot if they slowly accumulated them.
Maybe from the perspective of Alice and Berserker, these pieces of junk equipment that had lost their effectiveness only had a memorial value. It would be extremely profane to sacrifice these rotten objects to Mother God.
However, these audacious players didn't care.
What they lacked most were contribution points. They were more than happy to exchange these useless junk for contribution points.
Ahem, if this function was a loophole, then they hoped the official game company would discover it much later!
Or that they would never discover it!
The players felt that they were lucky to discover this little secret.
All the players began to learn how to draw the sacrificial circle after the first successful attempt!
On the Internet of the blue planet, some kind netizen even expressly summarized the whole process and posted it.
Of course, the players didn't discuss this matter in the official webpage of The Kingdom of Elves.
After the players mastered the skill of drawing the sacrificial circle, they began to pray to the goddess formally in the two NPCs' absence and sacrifice the junk they picked secretly.
Eh… They mainly sacrificed some pieces of broken equipment they picked from Florence and the animal bones they got by killing magic beasts in order to make some pocket money.
As for those rare classic books they found, they would give them to the NPCs.
This was because sacrificing classic books through the NPCs would be considered as completing an exploration task. This way, the players could gain extra experience points and contribution points.
But sacrificing every kind of junk they could find wouldn't count.
By experimenting, the players discovered that the sacrificial circle didn't swallow everything.
The sacrificial circle never rejected broken classic books, damaged equipment, materials from the magic beasts they killed, and even ores.
But the sacrificial circle gave no answer to broken handicrafts, household rubbish, rotten bones the players dug out, and the berries they picked.
After some time, they called the former as recyclable rubbish and the latter as nonrecyclable rubbish.
As the players kept exploring and performing sacrifice, Eve rejoiced.
During this period of time, Eve accumulated a large amount of equipment in the space of the godhead.
Most of them were Purple Epic. There were even some Golden Legend equipment!
Moreover, ranging from Iron to Silver, the equipment at these levels were abundant. Several sets of them were even at Gold levels!
Eve speculated that the players would earn Him millions of contribution points for this batch of equipment!
And Eve collected these pieces of equipment from the players at an extremely low price.
That was right.
Eve received the junk sacrificed by the players, repaired them with divine force, recycled them with some special effects, and made these equipment.
It was hard to make a completely new set of equipment with raw materials. But it was easy to repair and recycle old equipment with divine force.
If divine force was not enough to mend them, some players even kindly sacrificed animal bones and ores.
The elves had many kinds of equipment in 1000 years. Many of their creations were originally very advanced. Although mortals couldn't mend them, a true god could.
Nevertheless, perhaps nobody would think that a true god would appreciate secular equipment and stoop so low to repair them with divine force.
After all, from the perspective of the creatures in the world of Sagas, true gods were too noble to care about these things…
Besides, cross-border sacrifice would cost much divine force. As many creatures thought, heaven was the dwelling of true gods.
Maybe only Eve, a deity who was in the same world with the players, could afford the large-scale sacrificing and recycling.
All of these sacrifices, after being renewed, would be the commodities Eve sold to the players.
However, Eve didn't put all of the renewed equipment into the exchange system. Instead, He first selected a batch of low-level magic equipment and Golden Legend equipment for the exchange system.
As for the remaining ones, Eve planned to gradually bring the more advanced items to the market in batches according to the players' levels, of course after they had bought all the equipment in the current exchange system…
This was called a rational analysis of the consumers' potential, which would maximize the company's profits.
Moreover, with the large boom of interest in exploration, Eve received a large quantity of classic books, and thus He gained a better understanding of the history of elves 1000 years ago.
Unfortunately, these historical classic books still didn't describe the secret of the War of Gods.
Why did the world tree get besieged?
Why did the kind true god have no ally?
The other gods… Were they afraid of something?
Eve didn't know.
Nonetheless, He didn't worry much, believing that He would discover some clues to the secret one day.
In addition, as the players continued to explore, the game's exchange system of practice methods was almost complete.
The players found several dozen ruined and moldy classic books about practice methods in the ruins of Florence in less than one week!
After being repaired by Eve, all these classic books appeared in the exchange system.
However, most of the classic books were of Blue Rare or White Ordinary quality. Most of them were only useful for the players at Iron levels.
Only three practice methods were useful for Silver-level players.
The Element Meditation method discovered by Li Mu and Demacia was the most advanced.
This was within Eve's expectation.
While the elves were migrating away from Florence, they must have taken as many precious classic books as possible. The ones they had left behind were definitely not important.
Eve was already lucky enough to have found Element Meditation.
The basic ones were already there. If the worst came to the worst, Eve could always use His divine force to derive advanced classic books from the lower level ones.
When the players got to Silver levels, Eve would have recovered more of His power. By then, it would be a piece of cake to use divine force to derive advanced practice methods for the players.
Generally, everything in the forest of elves was developing in the right direction.
The little leeks were growing healthily and happily…
The construction of the elf town was almost completed.
The players repaired the temple in Florence and put Eve's statue in it.
Furthermore, the players systematically undertook the reconstruction of Florence…
The players constantly expanded their area of activities as they got higher in levels.
The forest of elves was exuberant and complicated with various kinds of magic beasts.
Therefore, the players explored slowly. Outside the safe zone, the players could now explore 30 miles in one day.
In spite of this, as time went by, some players gradually came to the edge of the forest.
After exploring for some time, they gathered a lot of material.
Because of this, the players even spontaneously set up sections such as "Pictures of Monsters," "Pictures of Plants," "Public Maps" and "Battle Strategies" in the information bar of the game's official forum.
The Kingdom of Elves became a hot topic discussed on the Internet of the blue planet.
When the official game company announced the news about the second pre-OBT, the hype for this epic masterpiece finally reached a climax again!
The quota of the second pre-OBT was 900!
Numerous netizens rushed to the game's official forum to register in hopes that they would become the lucky chosen ones.
Meanwhile, Ullr the God of Winter and Hunting gave a new oracle to His believers at last…
