49: Chapter 49 The players have gone mad, the elf princess is giving out buffs.

On the second day of Ling Xi's stay in Luofeng Village, the news could no longer be suppressed.

The reason was simple.

A player posted a recording of her appearance in the village yesterday on the world channel.

In the image, the Elf Princess, dressed in a white gown, stood under a maple tree in Luofeng Village, her pointed ears trembling slightly, her profile as pure as moonlight, with Qing Luo accompanying her.

A mere ten-second recording.

The world channel exploded!

"Holy crap! It really is the Elf Princess!"

"Not an ordinary Elf Maidservant, but the Princess herself?"

"What kind of place is Luofeng Village? First, there was the Epic Nanny Archon, and now even the Elf Princess has moved in?"

"Hurry and squeeze into the teleportation array! I'm going to see!"

"Don't stop me, I have moonlight grass in my bag!"

For a time, all the players in the surrounding Novice Area went crazy.

The white light of the teleportation array flashed wildly.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Batch after batch of players forced their way into Luofeng Village.

Some came to watch the excitement.

More people came with gifts.

moonlight grass, flower honey, morning dew fruit, refined iron ore, silver leaf flower, and some even specifically bought wind chime fruit, which the Elf Race liked, carrying them all the way into the village, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they wouldn't get in line.

At the foot of the dirt slope at the village entrance, a new long queue quickly formed.

This time, it wasn't to give gifts to Lin Zhe.

It was for Ling Xi.

Qing Luo stood nearby, looking at the growing pile of gifts, her small face stunned.

"Your Highness, they... they are all for you."

Ling Xi was also a little stunned.

She had originally thought that human players would only gawk and make noise when they saw her.

But these people in front of her, queuing up one by one, were surprisingly well-behaved.

The little priest at the front held two moonlight grasses and cautiously spoke: "Princess, I harvested these last night after farming for half the night. They're not valuable, but they're very fresh."

Ling Xi looked down, took them, and said softly, "Thank you."

The little priest's face immediately turned red.

A warrior behind him quickly offered flower honey: "I bought this from Fengyu Village after running all over the map. Would Your Highness like to try it?"

"And my ore!"

"Mine is a silver leaf flower!"

"Princess, look at mine!"

The line suddenly grew lively.

Ling Xi looked at these gifts and at the sincere faces, her gaze visibly softening.

Her nature was gentle.

When others approached with goodwill, she couldn't bring herself to ignore them with a cold face.

So, she raised her staff and gently tapped it.

Buzz—

Strands of light green natural light floated from her fingertips, landing on the players who had given gifts.

The next second, prompts popped up simultaneously.

[Obtained Ling Xi's Natural Blessing]

[Effect: Drop rate increased by 10%]

[Duration: 24 hours]

The whole area was silent for a moment.

The next second, it exploded!

"10% drop rate? Twenty-four hours?"

"Holy crap! She really gives buffs!"

"The Princess is too gentle!"

"Keep giving! Quick, keep giving!"

The eyes of those waiting in line all turned red.

Players who had originally just wanted to watch the fun immediately turned around and rushed to buy gifts.

"moonlight grass? Who has moonlight grass!"

"Buying flower honey at a high price!"

"Miner brothers, quickly dig out the good ore!"

The gifts in front of Ling Xi piled higher and higher.

A small pile.

A large pile.

Finally, it became a small mountain.

Qing Luo was so busy her feet barely touched the ground, and several Elf Maidservants helped her sort, almost unable to carry everything.

The world channel also went completely crazy.

"Luofeng Village can now not only get Big Shot Lin's buff, but also the Elf Princess's buff?"

"I'm so jealous!"

"Official, come out and see, is this reasonable?"

"Reasonable my ass, but it's so good!"

Just as the line grew longer, a life skill player pushed his way to the front.

His ID was [Old Tao Brewing Honey], a life skill player specializing in brewing and gathering. He carried a small wooden barrel on his back and a basket of bottles in his arms.

When he reached Ling Xi, he was clearly extremely nervous.

"Princess, this... this is flower honey wine I brewed myself."

"It uses morning dew flowers, wind chime honey, and a bit of moonlight leaves. It should taste good."

After speaking, he quickly handed over a small bottle.

Ling Xi took it, sniffed it gently, and her eyes brightened slightly.

She lowered her head and took a sip.

The next second, her lips curved gently.

"It's delicious."

Old Tao Brewing Honey was completely dumbfounded, and it took him a while to react: "R-really?"

Ling Xi nodded.

"You put a lot of effort into this."

She didn't just give a regular Natural Blessing as before. Instead, she raised her staff and gently tapped Old Tao Brewing Honey's forehead.

A denser, light green light imprint directly merged into his glabella.

[Obtained Ling Xi's Exclusive Gathering Blessing]

[Effect: Probability of gathering rare materials increased by 50%]

[Duration: 24 hours]

When this prompt appeared, the surrounding players' eyes almost popped out.

"Exclusive buff?"

"50% rare gathering chance?!"

"Life skill players are taking off!"

Old Tao Brewing Honey himself was stunned, his hands trembling so much he almost dropped the empty wine bottle.

Someone next to him immediately shouted: "Don't just stand there! Go gather!"

"Yes! Go to the herb spots! Go to the mining areas!"

Old Tao Brewing Honey then suddenly reacted, hugged his tools, and ran.

He rushed all the way to a moonlight grass gathering area at the border of Fengyu Village and Luofeng Village, not even pausing to catch his breath, and immediately started gathering.

One plant.

Two plants.

Three plants.

The first few were normal.

But when he gathered the seventh plant, a faint silver-white light suddenly lit up the ground.

Crack!

A fist-sized, completely transparent crystal, with moonlight seemingly flowing inside, was dug out from the soil.

Old Tao Brewing Honey froze.

The next second, a system prompt blared.

[Congratulations! You have obtained a rare material: moonlight crystal]

[The first moonlight crystal in the entire server has been gathered]

"I... I got it?"

"I really got it!!!"

Old Tao Brewing Honey roared at the top of his lungs, his voice carrying across half the gathering area.

In less than ten minutes, this news rushed onto the world channel.

[Old Tao Brewing Honey: Thanks to the Elf Princess's Exclusive Gathering Blessing, I gathered the first moonlight crystal in the entire server!]

A screenshot was attached below.

The silver-white crystal lit up, and the entire server exploded again.

"moonlight crystal? Isn't that a legendary gathering material?"

"The first one appeared already?"

"Life skill players are getting rich too?"

Soon, merchant players and guild executives privately messaged him with offers.

Finally, this first moonlight crystal in the entire server was bought for two thousand copper coins.

When the news of the successful transaction spread, all the life skill players in Luofeng Village went crazy.

"Brewing! Who knows how to brew flower honey wine!"

"Gatherers, assemble! Prepare gifts for the Princess!"

"Give! Give it your all!"

On the dirt slope, Lin Zhe quietly watched all this, his expression still calm.

The players were crazy.

Ling Xi's eyes were also noticeably softer than yesterday.

She looked at the excited and sincere human faces, and the sense of detachment in her heart was gradually fading away.

Lin Chen, nestled in Lin Zhe's arms, wiggled his little feet and said in a childish voice, "Dad, she likes the people here more now."

Lin Zhe looked at the growing mountain of gifts beside Ling Xi and simply replied.

"That's how it should be."
