In the history of the High Elves, the core area of the Sun Tower was not the novice village. Instead, it was the place where Li Yao and his squad were headed to today, which was also where the livestream stage clearance contest was held. It was the side stage for groups, the Falthrien Academy.

It was the area for group stages, and the stages were a few levels higher than the average level of a player.

Falthrien Academy was once the cradle of magic cultivation. High Elves who aspired to become wizards were sent here to begin their study of magic and increase their magical knowledge.

Over the course of thousands of years, the magical academy had produced a vast population of excellent wizards. As these wizards slowly matured, they became the rulers of the kingdom.

Falthrien Academy flourished, but it was not spared from that inevitable disaster.

Other than being a magical academy, Falthrien Academy was also a vital passage for the Sunwell to channel its magical energy to the Silvermoon City. When there was a magic addiction outbreak, Falthrien Academy became a hell on Earth.

Only a handful of High Elves escaped the academy. Later, the place became a forbidden area for the High Elves. As the kingdom slowly fell apart, they had yet sent in people to clean up the place until now.

Although it was an academy, it was actually more like a small city. Moreover, it had a spectacular view and was a magnificent floating city.

In this livestream contest, their goal was to clear out the stage which was located in the city’s most deserted area—the doorway. The area occupied a very small part of the city and nothing more.

The mobs around the area were Level 5 to 6 Elites, while the Boss was Level 7.

The city resembled a skyscraper, it had two humongous spiral corridors that winded upward, linking platforms that were suspended in mid-air next to the building. It was a miraculous sight.

On the left side of the city was a large lake that looked like a pearl, and on the right side was a lush green meadow. On the ground, there were a variety of faunas and unnamed wildflowers, filling the air with faint, sweet floral fragrances.

From a distance, the place looked like a magical wonderland. Since the livestream yesterday, the picturesque scenery and towering city had captured the hearts of countless spectators.

Other than the two spiral corridors linking the city to the ground from the left and right, there was no other support. The city looked as if it was built on the clouds.

“Wow, that looks beautiful!” AdorkableTong’s face lit up with excitement when she saw the white clouds in the sky merged with the city.

Li Yao gave her a pat on the head. “The person that you recruited, is he reliable? Let me remind you again, his job is to help us pick up the loot.”

“Chill, chill.” Tong replied smugly. “He’s the little brother that I took in. He is very obedient and if he dares, hehe, in any case, you don’t have to worry so much Big Bro. He wouldn’t dare to do anything that he shouldn’t do.”

Li Yao was still feeling uneasy. “Then did you tell him that he can have his fair share of the bounty? Once we get to the later stages, he wouldn’t be able to gain any Exp points.”

“Told him, told him. Big Bro, you are more naggy than my sister-in-law. Are you a middle-aged woman?” Tong’s once happy mood was swept away, and her face was sullen. “If you don’t believe me, you can find other people yourself. I’ll tell him to go back.”

“Okay, okay. My bad.” Li Yao hurriedly console her. This time, his goal was to gain more Exp points and obtain the Creator’s item. It did not matter to him if the loot was gone.

When they were nearing the place, the silent Witch suddenly spoke, “Li Yao, there is something I have to tell you.”

“Hmm? I’m listening.” Li Yao answered casually. Then, he realized that she called him using his real name instead of his in-game name. He glanced at HundredFaceWitch. “You know me?”

AdorkableTong immediately calmed herself down and pricked up her ears. She was curious.

“We’ve been together for two years, who do you think I am?” Witch took a deep breath to keep her expressions calm. Her voice had turned into a voice that Li Yao was familiar with.

“Fengyi, it’s you.” Li Yao gave her a strange look. He never thought he would run into her in the game, and they had become friends.

It was impossible that HundredFaceWitch had this planned out all along. Besides, she was a journalist and could use her other identity. HundredFaceWitch was her second identity in the game.

Summer was her name as a commentator. She was very famous and had a wide fanbase. If she were to use her in-game name, she would be asking for trouble.

The atmosphere between the two instantly changed. Tong looked at the two of them and felt that something was not right. “So, it turns out that Big Bro’s name is Li Yao, and Witch Sis is called Fengyi. The two of you were together for two years, does that mean you were a couple?”

“I’m really surprised.” Li Yao said with a smile.

“How could you not be surprised?” Witch laughed bitterly, “I found out when I returned from the party. I don’t want to hide it from you since you’re going to team up with me. You should know, I’m going live today and I’m using a different identity.”

Li Yao nodded indistinctly, “Why not, is this your first time going live?”

Li Yao did not know how to feel at that moment and agreed while he was still spacing out. There was no way he could deny that fate had brought them back together. Among the sea of people, they were assigned into the same novice village, had bumped into each other and became friends again. The wonders of fate laid in this.

Summer was a nationwide famous commentator and had never revealed her face. Rumours circulated amongst people that Summer was a Sweet Demon Lady because she had a sweet voice and looked ugly in person. They assumed that was the reason why she never showed her face. This issue had started several keyboard wars amongst fans in the forum.
