“What myth?”

Not long ago, many players answered the summons of some caring people and provided aid to the Orc Kingdom and the neighboring nations while dealing with their own businesses in the real world, which was why they had little time to play games.

After they returned, these people found that the Burning Crusade, the new expansion of World of Warcraft, had been released for some time. The elves threw themselves into World of Warcraft all day long to catch up with other players, so they didn’t have time for other stuff.

These people didn’t have time to notice other things until now.

Due to his recent busy work, Mr. Dirk had just returned as well.

At this moment, he pointed at the screen before him and said, “Didn’t you watch it? It’s the trailer for the new game.”

Immediately, he opened the trailer on his computer.

“Wow-!”

“A mystical realm on the myth level?”

Players exclaimed while watching the ancient and grand scenes which revealed the desolation and bleakness at the beginning of the world where everything had just begun growing.

“I wonder how they made this mystical realm…” an elf exclaimed.

“Can we really play such a game…?!”

The mysterious and powerful Blizzard Workshop and Softstar Workshop had shown the greatness of gods in some mystical realms. For example, the Legend of Sword and Fairy showed the gods that seemed to have come from the ‘East Continent’, and World of Warcraft showed the existences that were close to gods or at a godly level.

However, the players had never seen or even heard of a mystical realm that presented a true mythical era.

It was because there were few descriptions about such an era even in legends. It was extremely difficult to make a mystical realm in such a setting.

Which workshop made it?!

How come your workshops are all so awesome?!

…

Except for some special abilities, most abilities in World of Warcraft were easy to learn, which was great for legions and military training.

It was the case at least in the recent versions of the game where the max level cap was level 60 and level 70.

Therefore, for saint-level masters, the abilities were not so alluring as to the average players, unless they decided to change classes and worship Holy Light to learn those resurrection spells.

With so many priests and paladins in World of Warcraft, only a few players had mastered the resurrection spells. Saint-level masters wouldn’t give up their own system just to learn these spells.

Besides, saint-level masters were usually busy. Unlike average players, they didn’t have time to stay in the shop all day long.

Meanwhile, in the Elf Kingdom in Silver Moon Forest.

In the Royal Palace, First Elder Hyru was carefully reading the documents about the Elf Clan’s business from different places. Wearing a pair of round framed glasses made of magic crystals, he looked like an old scholar.

With care, he put stamps on the parchments and placed some of them aside for the Elf Queen to review.

There was still a big pile of documents on the desk waiting for his attention.

At this moment, his communication jade beeped on the desk.

First Elder… a small reminder. A new mystical realm is just released! A mystical realm of the mythical era! Dark Souls 3!

The message even had a trailer clip attached.

Hyru instantly stood up. “Mythical Era?!”

He glanced at the documents on the desk…

“This is for me…”

“This is for Her Majesty…

“I will stamp this one first…

“This needs Her Majesty’s attention…”

Messages flooded the small discussion group in QQ for the Elf Clan.

Sala said, I wonder when Elder Hyru will come.

First Elder is very busy lately. I’m afraid he can’t play…

– In the Elder Chamber –

This one is for me… No. It’s for Her Majesty.

This one is… its better for Her Majesty to take care of it…

This one… needs Her Majesty’s attention as well…

The small pile of parchment on his right-hand side began to grow taller.

“First Elder.” At this moment, Elf Queen Kellybel walked in.

Kellybel looked at the desk and was at a loss for words.

After a pause, First Elder Hyru said expressionlessly, “I… put them in the wrong pile.”

He quickly took them back.

…

Inside the new shop in Canglan City.

With the pace in World of Warcraft slowing down, a group of elves began to talk about the new game.

“Sala, when do you think the game will be released?” The elves sat on the couches in the lounge area in a circle.

“Just for your ears…” Sala waved at the others and told them to lean over. “I heard from Xiaoyue that the shop owner calls this a warm-up. He will select a good date to release it!”

“What date is a good date?” Rowling, another member of the Snow Pigeon Team, asked immediately.

“Xiaoyue said it’s tomorrow!” Sala revealed the news in a low voice, “The shop owner said to Xiaoyue, ‘Tomorrow is a good day. Tomorrow is June 1st and your holiday.’”

TL Note: June 1st is Children’s Day in China.

“Huh? Do we have a holiday tomorrow?” The elves were delighted. “At their homeland, June 1st is a holiday for people like us?”

“Right!” Sala said excitedly, “It’s said that all the games in the shop will have discounts tomorrow. The lowest is 30 percent off!”

“If you buy ten games, you’ll get one old game or movie for free!”

“Won’t the shop owner lose lots of money?” Rowling exclaimed, “The stuff sold for 10 magic crystals will sell for only 7 magic crystals, which means that he will lose 3 magic crystals for each of the items he sells?”

“Oh-!” Rowling took out money from her pocket and counted. “Tomorrow, I’ll buy ten!”

At this moment, many people in the Radiant Light Godly Nation, Dulan Workshop, and Crystal Workshop were monitoring the shop closely.

Outside the opened door, some figures were loitering. “Hiss… The shop will lose 3 magic crystals from a mystical realm that originally cost 10 magic crystals… the customers will also get free stuff when buying 10 games!? It means more losses… If 100,000 people come and buy stuff from the shop, isn’t the shop going to go bankrupt…?”

…

– On the next day –

It was June 1st.

The new shop and the old shops were all cleaned up and well decorated. For example, in the old shop in Yuanyang City, Jessica and her companions, who were both official novel translators and janitors, were dressed in thick Disney teddy bear costumes.

“Ahh! How come there are three bears!?” The big white deer laughed upon entering the shop.

“Oh! Look over there!” Jiang Xiaoyue exclaimed when she saw a young man wearing a light helmet and holding a strange-shaped iron-boned umbrella.

“Myriad Manifestation Umbrella?!”

“There! There!” Mu Qing yelled, “Isn’t that Jing Tian’s family?!”

“Wow-! That’s a Pikachu sitting there!” In the new shop in Canglan City, Sala exclaimed with stars in her eyes. “Let’s sit over there!”

“Sir! Sir! Activate it for me! I want to activate ten games!” Rowling read the game list and said, “My goodness?! When were Dark Souls 1 and 2 released?! Activate all three of them for me!”
