How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

"Really, then congratulations."

From the pair of completely different pure eyes in front of him, Qiu Li seemed to see that someone's knot had been untied, and smiled and said something that sounded incomprehensible to others.

The fireworks blooming outside the window are as beautiful as two smiling faces.

After enjoying the Christmas Eve celebrations, we returned to school.

Shengcheng High School at night is no less lively than during the day.

Special activities are being held on the playground and in the square, many people are gathered around the Christmas tree, and many classes in the teaching building are brightly lit as they are busy with the final arrangements.

Small colorful lights are connected throughout the campus, and the colorful lights seem to be reflected in the starry sky, making them particularly bright.

When I was almost reaching the dormitory building, I suddenly called out to Sister Qiu Li next to me and took off my scarf.

"Merry Christmas Eve. This is a gift for my sister. The scarf she's wearing seems a little childish."

"You still have such thoughts."

Looking at the scarf in front of him, Qiu Li finally understood the real meaning of the scarf that suddenly appeared on the other person's body after he left the square for a while.

Fortunately, she was not unprepared. She also took off her scarf and carefully put it on the other person.

"Because this was originally intended for you."

I was a little surprised when I saw Sister Qiu Li, who had the same idea as me.

Suddenly, they laughed together with each other.

"Go up, I have to go back to the dormitory too, Mu Shui and A Yuan are still urging me."

"Well, goodbye sister."

"Goodbye."

After watching the figure wave at her and walk up the stairs, Qiu Li wrapped her new scarf around herself, smiled slightly, and turned away contentedly.

And watched Sister Qiu Li's figure disappear at the end of the road.

I then returned to the dormitory, truly ending my "date" on Christmas Eve.

But it's not complete yet.

"You're back playing games so early. You're all internet addicts."

Looking at Cecilia who had already activated the access device on the bed next to her, he did not hear any movement from the dormitory opposite before entering. It was obvious that the two sisters and Ivan inside had also logged into the game.

I couldn't help but complain.

But it is convenient for me. Otherwise, if these little guys saw me in this outfit, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

She changed out of her maid outfit and put it in a bag for tomorrow, and placed some desserts she brought back from outside on Cecilia's bedside table.

After putting on my pajamas, I stretched comfortably, turned off the lights and lay back on my soft bed.

Of course it was impossible to sleep.

After all, today is the first special event held by Jiyuan on Christmas.

As the access device was activated, the dim LED lights lit up and the transparent mask slowly closed, bringing my consciousness into the illusory world of the era.

Chapter 18 Christmas Eve Celebration

Although Christmas events in the era are held in every major city.

But according to the agreement we had made in advance, after logging in, I went directly to the teleportation hall of Locrio and headed to Fanes.

As the capital of the Orwen Empire, it is especially so on the eve of Christmas.

It was naturally very lively inside Farnese.

Although it is a happy festival in reality, the number of players in major cities has not decreased at all.

In the teleportation hall, the lights of players' teleportation continued to appear. Outside the hall, the streets and squares were crowded with people, which made many players who were teleported to Fans marvel.

But I was not too surprised. After all, I had seen this lively scene in my previous life.

The reason is that most players don’t want to go out to kill monsters, and instead wait in the city for the celebration to begin.

“I don’t know if the Spring Festival activities in more than a month will be as lively as in the previous life.”

I imagined the Spring Festival scene in my previous life.

It was not until I summoned her that Ahri, who had been lying on my shoulder, cried out a few times before coming to her senses. After feeding this restless little creature some snacks, I walked towards the Victory Square south of Fanes.

The cold winter temperature condensed into snowflakes, covering Farnes in a blanket of snow.

Exquisite and beautiful decorations such as Christmas trees, bells, ribbons, etc. are arranged around exquisite buildings and households, making the city brilliant and charming.

The crowds in the squares were even more crowded, and the huge Christmas tree standing in the center of the square was particularly eye-catching.

It took me some effort to find the seats of the little ones in the Victory Square, with their aunts and uncles beside them.

As soon as we met, we were greeted with a barrage of complaints.

"So slow, An An."

"Humph, you made us wait so long, I'll forgive you if you let me touch Ahri."

I rolled my eyes, confused as to why no one asked me about what happened in the afternoon. However, I understood after I saw Sister Qiu Li from the Lost Paradise team not far away winking at me.

I guess the other party has already explained it to some extent.

Although the beast tide was over, Sister Qiu Li's proposal was agreed by her uncle, who asked her to establish a branch in the Orwyn Empire to expand the influence of Paradise Lost. So not only did she not go back, but she also brought more elite members of Paradise Lost.

Similarly, with the help of Sister Qiu Ru, we also established a deep cooperative relationship with Alice.

The Aurora team did return to Constanta, but according to Sister Qiu Li, they had similar ideas later.

It was very clear what the result would be if Ahri was handed over to this group of people at this time.

Fortunately, I was not unprepared.

"Oh, I was going to give you guys a Christmas Eve present, but forget it now."

These words immediately diverted everyone's interest, and they all focused their firepower and targets on their side.

I stuck out my tongue, and quickly took out the gifts I had prepared in advance from my backpack and distributed them to them. They were all some high-level skill books, equipment, or rare materials and props.

Each one is different and uniquely suited to their respective careers and development paths.

For example, Ivan got two skill books that enhanced stealth and damage respectively, the sisters Yun Xian and Yun Qian got brand new dark gold weapons, Cecilia got a special bomb formula, and so on.

"I have a gift for An An too!"

"Thank you, Xiaotong Mama. This is a gift from Xiaoqian."

"Humph, I don't just accept gifts. You have to keep this carefully."

"This is a return gift, Ann."

"Auntie has also prepared gifts."

Although I never thought about it, but receiving gifts of all sizes from everyone, even if they were just some simple small items, made me feel happier.

Seeing this, Ahri seemed to want it too, and stretched out his fleshy paw and waved it in front of me.

But I slapped him back, "Didn't I give you a bell as a gift?"

However, after seeing the other party's aggrieved look, he chuckled and threw the diamond crystal over as a gift, which appeased the greedy little guy.

It looked like the scene was about to turn into a gift exchange event.

I smiled slightly, pulled my aunt, sister Qiu Ru, and sister Fengye, who was accompanying sister Yue Changan in another square in Fanes, into the channel, and told them my thoughts.

"Give 1000 contributions to all guild members as Christmas Eve gifts?"

“Isn’t this too much?”

You should know that Alice's contribution treatment is much better than that of other guilds. 1000 contributions can be exchanged for two pieces of gold equipment with good attributes in the guild warehouse.

Even if one takes the elite route, with Alice's current number of nearly 40,000, that would be 80,000 pieces of gold equipment.

"Don't worry, I have enough funds."

During the beast tide incident, he not only gained energy, but also obtained a lot of equipment dropped by players after their deaths.

Although the probability of white-name drops is smaller, the overall number is there. There are at least one or two million pieces of equipment stored in the warehouse of the Demon King's City, forcing me to use energy to expand the warehouse limit.

Among them, there are more than 800,000 pieces of gold equipment. The mere number of 80,000 is just a drop in the bucket in my eyes.

I heard how confident I was.

Sister Fengye thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Let's start with 500 contributions. Chang'an can also provide some high-level potions as Christmas Eve gifts. Then let them complete the guild's Christmas mission and get the subsequent contributions."

The guild's Christmas mission requires extra manpower, and those big guilds usually set orders to enforce completion. Even if there are rewards, they are definitely not as good as Alice's.

This proposal was agreed by Sister Qiu Ru and her sister-in-law.

"This is quite good. We can give out more contributions as rewards."

"The progress of the Christmas mission in the guild is a little slow."

"Well, let's do this. I'll take care of the funding. Don't miss out on any holiday benefits like New Year's Day and Spring Festival. This will also help improve the cohesion of the guild."

I nodded too.

After this news was announced to the guild, cheers suddenly rang out in the guild channel. Although it was nothing for the members of the elite group, it was a good thing to be able to easily get so many contributions.

For ordinary members, these contributions are even more precious, as they allow them to see the guild's intentions and its impartial treatment of all members.

And it wasn't long after the news was announced in Alice Guild.

Along with the fine snow from the sky, it fell again.

In every corner of every city, many Santa Clauses wearing red coats suddenly appeared. They walked around the city with huge bags on their backs. There were also hundreds of red figures in the Victory Square.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew very well that the Christmas Eve celebrations were about to begin.

So they all asked these Santa Clauses for things.

Chapter 19 Activities

Fortunately, there were enough Santa Clauses and not much chaos was caused.

Ivan and I also received items from the Santa Claus who appeared nearby. These items seemed to be fixed, including a slingshot that looked very delicate with a Christmas tree pattern on it, and a bag of round golden bullets.

Christmas slingshot.

Type: special equipment

Attributes: Attack 10-10, Luck +1, Effective Range 100 yards.

Durability: 100 pellets

In addition to the attributes, the bullet pocket also contains instructions for the rules of the game -

Starting from nine o'clock, countless balloons with gift boxes hanging on them will fall from the sky above the city. If the player successfully hits a balloon with a slingshot, the gift hanging under the balloon will belong to the player.

To ensure fairness, the player's own attributes cannot affect the effectiveness of the slingshot. It is entirely a competition of eyesight, technique and luck.

I don’t know who came up with this idea, but holding this exquisite slingshot feels like going back to childhood, which makes people feel very familiar and interesting. Although there is still some time before the official start, all the players in the square are looking forward to it.

Nine o'clock sharp.

A huge bell suddenly echoed in the sky above various cities. Amid the expectant gazes and cheers of countless players, red and white mechanical airships appeared in the sky.

Countless colorful ribbons fell along with snowflakes, and familiar and cheerful Christmas music played in every corner of the city. Then, the mechanical airships in the sky opened their belly cabins.

Suddenly, countless colorful balloons with exquisite gift boxes tied underneath rolled down from the cabin and floated toward the ground.

The sky of the entire city was almost covered by these balloons. The scene was spectacular to the extreme, and the cheers of the players also reached their peak.

Some impatient players pulled the slingshots and threw golden Christmas bullets into the sky. After all, looking at the density of the balloons, they could probably hit them with their eyes closed. The principle of striking first is deeply rooted in people's minds.

The little ones were eager to try, and the older children including my aunt and Mu Shui couldn't suppress their inner restlessness.

Although I was delayed by something in my previous life and missed the Christmas activities twice, I was able to learn a thing or two from those posts and realized that firing projectiles at this time was a complete waste of time.

But just when I was about to hold them back, Cecilia persuaded me to stop.

"These balloons are still about 350 yards high. They are out of reach now."

Even by visual inspection, the error can be controlled within dozens of yards. Cecilia is worthy of her name.
