79: Chapter 79 Breakthrough in Rank? The Entire Clan's Favorability Reached Max.

Just as the maple coins in Luofeng Village stabilized, things heated up again over at the Elf Secret Realm.

After the permanent entrance opened, players crowded inside every day.

Some were farming materials.

Some were farming equipment.

Even more people were specifically camping at the entrance waiting for Ling Xi.

Because lately, Ling Xi would go there almost every day.

"This Moon Shadow Vine shouldn't be picked directly; you have to clear the Companion Insects beside it first."

"The second stage of the Elf Archer class advancement quest isn't about killing monsters; it's about finding Silver Leaf Flowers by the Moon Spring."

"The wood grain on your bow is warped. Go to the trading area and find Qing Luo to apply a layer of Natural Wax before entering the secret realm."

Her voice was light and her temperament was soft.

No matter what the players asked, she answered patiently.

The surrounding Elf Race NPCs originally carried a hint of aloofness, but after staying with Ling Xi for a long time, their attitudes became softer and softer as well.

"Human, bring those herbs here for me to see."

"Tsk, the picking is alright. I'll consider it as you not wasting the moonlight grass."

"Don't sell this bracer yet. I'll enchant it with a layer of Natural Patterns for you; you'll be able to last an extra round in the dungeon."

In a single morning, three long lines formed at the entrance of the secret realm.

One line was for asking about quests.

One line was for enchantments.

One line was for receiving temporary Natural Blessing.

The world channel had long since gone crazy with messages.

"In Luofeng Village now, even asking for directions is personally answered by the Elf Princess!"

"I was just given a free 5% movement speed buff by an Elf Priest, and it lasts for two hours!"

"Damn, my bow was given a free Natural Sharpness infusion. Damage increased by 8 points!"

On the earthen slope, Lin Zhe's gaze was calm.

He could clearly feel that the Natural Divine Power between Ling Xi and the Elf Secret Realm was constantly resonating with the laws inside his own body.

That kind of fluctuation grew stronger each time.

The system panel was also flickering.

[Lin Yueyao Gestation Progress: 76%]

[77%]

[78%]

Lin Chen lay in his arms, his small face serious: "Little sister is almost catching up to big brother."

Lin Zhe had just looked up.

Buzz—

A soft yet exceptionally solid pillar of green light suddenly surged up from the entrance of the Elf Secret Realm!

The entire Luofeng Village lit up for a moment.

The staff in Ling Xi's hand trembled first, then her eyes brightened, and she immediately looked back toward the earthen slope.

At the same time, the system notifications exploded with a roar.

[Ding! Second daughter Lin Yueyao's gestation progress has broken through 80%!]

[Current Progress: 80%]

[Grade Promotion in progress...]

[Rare Grade → epic grade]

[Promotion Successful!]

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking a new authority: Favorability of the entire Elf Race]

A golden pattern flashed in the depths of Lin Zhe's eyes.

It's done.

epic grade.

And it's the second epic grade offspring.

The next second, near the entrance of the entire Elf Secret Realm, all the Elf Race NPCs seemed to sense something at the same time and shuddered in unison.

Qing Luo's eyes widened first.

"This aura..."

The Great Elder even turned around abruptly and bowed deeply toward the direction where Lin Zhe was.

It wasn't just them.

The favorability light patterns above the heads of all Elf Race NPCs active in Luofeng Village, Fengyu Village, and Shiti Village lit up to the extreme simultaneously.

[Current Status: Extremely Close]

[Current Status: Favorability of the entire race is full]

Although the world notification didn't pop up for the players to see, the change was too obvious.

One second, the Elf Archer Instructor was still putting on airs; the next, he directly spread out the quest scroll in his hand.

"Come, human adventurer, I'm giving this high-reward Forest Patrol Quest to you."

"After completion, I'll give you an extra Natural Quiver."

The Elf Pharmacist nearby was even more direct.

"Bring your equipment here. Today, I'll give you Natural Blessing for free."

"Line up one by one, don't get messy."

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Beams of light green radiance fell continuously.

Some added natural damage to attacks.

Some were short-term health regeneration.

Some were agility increases.

The players were stunned at first, then they all went crazy.

"Free buffs?"

"And the Elf NPCs are giving them proactively?"

"Holy crap, I just got an exclusive gathering quest. The reward is two pieces of blue gear plus rare herbs!"

"Same here! An Elf Elder is personally handing out quests!"

The world channel exploded instantly.

"Luofeng Village has gone crazy again!"

"The Elf Race NPCs have collectively changed their faces; they're handing out quests to everyone they see!"

"I got a free natural enchantment before entering the secret realm, and my DPS jumped by a whole chunk!"

It wasn't over yet.

In the afternoon, three Vine Carriages slowly drove into Luofeng Village.

The ones who stepped off the carriages weren't ordinary merchants.

But rather several white-bearded Elf Elders.

They scanned the bustling trading area, then looked at the flow of people in front of the secret realm entrance, and made a decision on the spot.

"This old man isn't going back."

"I'm staying too."

"There are plenty of herbs here, plenty of players, and plenty of quest demands. It's perfect for settling down."

Once the news came out, the players exploded again.

"Settling down?"

"Elf Elders are moving to live in Luofeng Village?"

The several Elders were men of action.

That very day, they set up a Natural Workshop next to the trading area.

One was responsible for appraising herbs.

One was responsible for forging natural attribute equipment.

One specialized in giving players exclusive high-reward quests for the Elf line.

"This moonlight grass is of high quality; it counts as top-grade."

"The base of this gauntlet of yours is not bad. I'll give you a free Natural Resonance enchantment."

"Want to take the hidden gathering chain? Go deliver these three portions of Moon Spring Dew to Fengyu Village first."

Because they proactively moved in, the price of elven herbs in Luofeng Village's trading area was forcibly suppressed by another twenty percent.

The players were so happy they couldn't close their mouths.

"Cheaper again?"

"I couldn't afford it yesterday, but today I'm sweeping up two stacks!"

"Big Shot Lin's second child hasn't even hit the ground yet, and the benefits are already killing it!"

On the earthen slope, Ling Xi looked at those Elders who had proactively moved in, her eyes incredibly soft.

She knew better than anyone.

This wasn't an ordinary gesture of goodwill.

This was the entire Elf Race bowing their heads to Lin Yueyao in advance.

Lin Zhe scanned the system panel.

[Lin Yueyao]

[Grade: epic grade]

[Gestation Progress: 80%]

[Attached Feedback: Favorability of the entire Elf Race has taken effect]

Lin Chen swung his little feet and laughed in a milky voice.

"Little sister hasn't even come out yet, and the Elf Race has already completely sided with our family."

Not far away, players were still lining up to receive quests, leech buffs, and snatch cheap herbs.

And in the world channel, another kind of voice had already started to spread.

"Big Shot Lin, I beg you, please hurry up and give birth to the Little Princess!"

"Yeah! She's already this fierce before being born; once she actually hits the ground, won't the whole server take off?"

"I'm calling dibs on a spot first. When the second young lady of the Lin family is born, there will definitely be huge benefits!"

"Brothers in Luofeng Village, don't hog all the food for yourselves; leave some soup for us!"

Green radiance still slowly swirled at the entrance of the Elf Secret Realm.

The several Elf Elders who had just settled down were already starting to flip through quest scrolls, while Qing Luo was trotting along holding a pile of enchantment materials.

The wind blew across the earthen slope, carrying a faint fragrance of plants and trees.

Lin Zhe looked at the constantly ticking gestation progress, his gaze falling slightly toward the depths of the secret realm.
