Chapter 49: Forest Elf
“Meow meow~ （Who who? ）” Li Li, startled by the sudden voice, jumped up.
“Gurgle gurgle~ （Don’t be nervous, I’m also a player in the Comprehensive Network. ）” The slender tree trunk suddenly twisted, and a Little Dwarf wearing a green hat, carrying a bow and arrows, and a jumper dress appeared.
“Ding! Player has discovered other players. Game friend function activated.” As Li Li saw this scene, an electronic sound quickly rang in his ears.
“Meow meow~ （Are you a Little Dwarf? ）” Hearing this voice, Li Li couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. The other party really was a game player. That’s good, he was scared to death.
He was most afraid of encountering zombies and humans at this time.
“Gurgle gurgle~ （No no, to be precise, I am a Forest Elf. ）” Matthew explained, looking at Li Li, who was the same height as him, and said, “Gurgle gurgle~ （Is this really your first time entering the Other World? ）”
Hearing this, Li Li complained:
“Meow meow~ （Nonsense, do I look like I’ve been through this many times? This d*mn broken game is killing me, I thought the first time wouldn’t be so difficult. ）”
“Meow meow~ （Not only are there zombies everywhere trying to eat me, but humans want to eat me too. I just ran into a fellow cat on the road, and it turned out to be a zombie. ）”
“Gurgle gurgle~ （That shouldn’t be, this world is so dangerous this time. It shouldn’t be a place for novice trials. ）” Matthew scratched his head and said, his first time entering the Other World wasn’t this dangerous.
“Meow meow~ （How would I know? I’m a novice. ）” Li Li said, looking at the other party and opening his mouth: “Meow meow~ （By the way, do you have anything to eat? I’m so hungry, I’ve been running since I appeared here, and I’m starving now. ）”
“Gurgle gurgle~ （Yes, yes, I have some fruit here, do you want to eat it? ）” Hearing this, Matthew conjured a large apple and asked.
“Meow meow~ （Of course I want it, I’m starving to death. I thought that after coming to this world, I could rely on my ability to act cute to please humans, and then live peacefully for three days, but who knew this place would be such a hellhole? ）” Li Li, holding the apple in his paws and gnawing on it, said, “Meow meow~ （By the way, is this trick of yours to conjure an apple out of thin air magic? ）”
Since the other party was a Forest Elf, then he must know magic like in the novels, right?
“Gurgle gurgle~ （I didn’t believe you were a newcomer just now, but now I kind of believe it. ）” Matthew was stunned for a moment and said, “Gurgle gurgle~ （I don’t know space magic, this is a Spatial Backpack that the Comprehensive Network provides for every player. ）”
“Meow meow~ （What? Provided by the game? But I don’t have one, if I had known this would happen here. I would have brought enough dry food and water. ）” Upon hearing this, Li Li immediately widened his eyes.
Why did everyone else, as players, have a Spatial Backpack, but he didn’t? Who are they looking down on?
“Gurgle gurgle~ （It’s probably because you’re a novice.” Seeing this, Matthew explained with a smile:
“Gurgle gurgle~ （Because novices are prone to dying during their first Other World journey, only players who complete the first game will have their Spatial Backpack unlocked. ）”
“Meow meow~ （I think the reason why the first trial is so dangerous is mainly because the Comprehensive Network is so inhumane, right? ）” Li Li complained, looking at Matthew and continuing: “Meow meow~ （Brother, do you have anything else to eat? Just one apple won’t fill my stomach. ）”
“Gurgle gurgle~ （I don’t have anything else to eat, because we Forest Elves don’t need to eat much. ）” Matthew shook his head and said.
“Meow meow~ （Okay, okay, thank you. It seems I have to find food myself again. ）” Li Li said with some disappointment.
As expected, finding food still depends on himself, he can’t rely too much on others.
“Gurgle gurgle~ （Although I don’t have any food with me, I know where there is food. ）” Seeing Li Li like this, Matthew said.
“Meow meow~ （Really? Where? Is it dangerous? ）” Li Li’s eyes immediately lit up like light bulbs after hearing this.
“Gurgle gurgle~ （It’s not dangerous, but if I help you find food, you have to help me complete a mission. ）” Matthew looked at Li Li and said.
“Meow meow~ （Mission? Didn’t the game say there were no missions? That’s the point of the game, why do you need to do missions? ）” Li Li asked in confusion, was the Comprehensive Network lying to him? Why was what he knew in the Comprehensive Network different from what the other party knew?
“Gurgle gurgle~ （What you said is not wrong, the game doesn’t force us to do missions. But if you want to become stronger, you definitely have to take missions, otherwise, you can only go to other worlds by spending Comprehensive Network Currency. ）”
“Gurgle gurgle~ （And Comprehensive Network Currency can only be obtained through missions and the Comprehensive Network Trading Mall, unless you are a very rich guy, otherwise, you can only rely on missions to get Comprehensive Network Currency. ）” Matthew explained.
“Meow meow~ （So the Comprehensive Network is still inhumane, isn’t it just forcing players to take missions? ）” Li Li curled his lips and said, what a stingy Comprehensive Network, actually wanting Comprehensive Network Currency to go to other worlds. Otherwise, you can only take missions, just like a vicious capitalist.
“Gurgle gurgle~ （If you want to become stronger, this is the only way. If you don’t want to become stronger, you can ignore it. ）”
“Meow meow~ （So what mission did you take this time? ）” Li Li asked, leaving aside the question of getting stronger or not, he had to solve the problem of his hunger first, but before that, he had to understand what mission the other party took.
“Gurgle gurgle~ （The mission I took is very simple, that is, to do something that can change the course of the world. It can be a good direction, or a bad direction. ）”
“Meow meow~ （Where is it simple? ）” Li Li asked weakly, “Meow meow~ （What can we, with our strength, do to change the course of the world? ）”
He was just a useless piece of iron now, and although he didn’t know how strong the other party was, since they needed his help, they probably weren’t too strong either.
“Gurgle gurgle~ （It seems not…… ）” Matthew’s voice gradually became smaller as he spoke.
“Meow meow~ （So, this mission is not easy to do. By the way, there’s no penalty for mission failure, right? ）” Li Li asked, after all, he might have to take missions in the future, so it’s better to ask and get a clear understanding.
