Chapter 108 - 105 Newcomers of the Twisted Jungle (Additional 11/65)

"Damn it, I didn’t even have the chance to be Lord Kael’s dog!"

"Do you really want to be his dog? I’m not about to burst your bubble."

"Which girl wouldn’t drool over Lord Kael’s looks?"

"Forget about girls, even the guys find him pretty drool-worthy."

"At first, I thought I only liked pretty girls, but then I realized I just liked pretty."

"But that tail of his is really awkward."

"Holy shit, guys, check out the picture!"

Another photo was uploaded, showing Kael and Elanna riding on the same horse.

Elanna was in front, and Kael was behind, their bodies close to each other.

When Kael held tight to the reins, Elanna’s body would involuntarily press back a little, making it look as if she had fallen into Kael’s embrace.

The comment section was once again filled with cries of despair.

Kael glanced around stealthily and soon spotted a player in the corner sneakily snapping photos.

Heh, quite the gutsy one!

"What do we do? I feel like Brother Kael is going to drift away from us!"

"As if you ever owned Kael."

"Stop it, I’m already drafting an article. Tonight’s story will involve the red-haired female knight maxing out her riding demon skills!"

"Hold on, make sure to share it in the group immediately after you’re done!"

"Is this something I can enjoy without spending a dime?"

"Aren’t you guys worried? What if someone snitches to Brother Kael, won’t you be in trouble?"

"Doesn’t matter, I’ll step in when the time comes!"

Watching this group of goofy players talking more and more absurdly, and some even starting to use the word "charge" on the forums, the smile on Kael’s face became even more genial.

Maybe he had been giving the players too much in rewards lately, for they seemed to have plenty of time to make up stories about him on the forum.

Of course, there were many more players who weren’t caught up in this.

After all, the Harvest Festival was really bustling, and those players who couldn’t make it to Titan Town right away were wailing in desire to join in.

Some players even complained that the game was too realistic, finding the drunkenness experience to be quite unpleasant.

However, perhaps the biggest hot topic of the night wasn’t any of these but the sudden death of a player, triggering a new achievement.

Want Ice Pop had now risen to the top of the forums’ hot search.

This guy had eaten so much in the game that his stomach ruptured, leading to continuous blood loss, and in the end, he had no choice but to run back to his corpse for resurrection.

Thus, he unlocked the achievement [Glutton Ghost].

"Ice Pop, you’re freakin’ awesome."

"We’ve not had few player deaths recently, but you’re the only one I admire."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Can I ask what it feels like to die of overeating?"

Want Ice Pop popped out to reply, "It feels kind of like being pricked by Brother Kael’s tail, forcefully stuffed with a ton of potions until you burst."

Nag Me to Write: "Nothing needs to be said, I already have the imagery in my head, and I’m about to update my fan fiction."

Braised Donut: "Tell me, who was it that hit me on the head while I was drinking? I got kicked offline in an instant!!!"

Of course, with the players on site messing around like this, those who couldn’t make it were indeed pitiable.

```

Many players who had left the village for various reasons to undertake quests or who had stayed in the village without heading to Titan Town were now beating their chests in frustration.

Of course, the inevitable frenzy of the players also sparked dissatisfaction among some visitors in the forum.

"Aren’t you guys behaving as if you’ve never played a virtual game before, daring to call any game a masterpiece?"

"But this game is really fun though!"

"Who knows if it’s actually fun? It might just be like Primordial Magic, opposing original PvP but not opposing original demons, beep～"

"Wake up, this game is realistic in every aspect; the only thing that should probably be led by our country is the risqué content."

"Without the fun of the game, it’s like Brother Kael’s tail can’t be described in detail."

"Damn it, speaking of which, I haven’t heard of anyone obtaining Brother Kael’s Beacon lately."

Kael shook his head. What were these folks so concerned about him for? They should just enjoy the Harvest Festival.

Not seeing any need to pay extra attention, Kael didn’t bother to look any further.

The more he read, the more irritated he would become... But speaking of which, these players were going crazy on the forums every day, and he was actually getting used to it!

How degrading!

...

The next day.

In Twisted Jungle Camp, the knights were about to welcome a group of newcomers.

At the moment, Kael was already resting inside the camp’s big tent. Unusually, Elanna and Lily had also come along.

"Have they arrived?"

Kael looked towards Jonathan, whose face wore a solemn expression, seemingly anxious about the players who were about to arrive.

"Jonathan, relax a little. They’re at least Undead, no matter how you torment them, it won’t really hurt them physically."

Kael’s words eased Jonathan’s tense expression a bit, but he still said seriously:

"Lord Kael, no matter what, as children of Shangtiya, they require more of my attention. Moreover, this matter is related to your future plans. Regardless, I won’t allow it to fail."

Unlike other knight captains, the Dungeon territory expansion and conquest plan was mainly overseen by Jonas, who had started to take charge on his own.

If players wanted to advance quickly, they would inevitably need to hunt monsters in the Twisted Jungle.

All of this was impossible without the support of Jonathan and his team.

Having or not having a corresponding base in the forest meant two completely different concepts for the players’ sustainable combat readiness.

So Kael, after some thought, decided that the task of leading the players into battle must still be handed over to Jonathan.

Moreover, he was well aware that outside Titan Town, there were even more players who wanted to come to Titan Town for quests and to increase the fun of the game, and they were continuously flocking here.

For a long time into the future, they would be filling up the ranks of those expanding Titan Town.

Meanwhile, on the route to Twisted Jungle Ranger Camp.

On the supply wagon headed to the camp, a group of players looked around curiously.

"Is this the Twisted Jungle?" asked a player with a curious expression.

"Isn’t it stunning to see those hundred-meter-tall Golden Trees?"

Leading them, Sky Mountain Wanderer replied with a smile, then turned his head to a woman who appeared very young yet exuded a lazy, aristocratic air and said:

"What do you think, Nasilia? I told you, this game won’t disappoint us."

Nasilia smiled softly and said, "I’ll listen to you, as I don’t have much of an idea about the future direction of the game. If you guys think becoming a Mage will be more helpful to the team, I’ll try my best to do well, but don’t scold me if it doesn’t work out in the end."
