In the year 4323, water is scarce, and people rely on nutrient solutions to survive day to day.
The Federation released a full-dive survival game and announced that players could exchange their in-game points for water in real life.
There are demons with mysterious whereabouts, food worth a fortune, and native elf NPCs who are hostile toward humanity...
The game’s hellish difficulty makes surviving each day a challenge, leaving players complaining that the Federation has no conscience.
While players struggle to survive, the name Tai City suddenly makes the rounds. They say food is practically being given away there, herbs and equipment are being sold wholesale at dirt-cheap prices, and every single city guard is exceptionally strong...
Even the native elves, who have always been hostile toward players, light up whenever they mention the lord of Tai City.
Elf A: “Ah, thanks to our lord, we no longer have to sleep out in the open. We have these beautiful glass houses now.”
Elf B: “If it weren’t for the lord, I never would have imagined I’d be able to stand again in this lifetime.”
Elf C: “Even though we have so much delicious food now, I still think the best thing I ever tasted was the roasted sweet potato the lord made himself. I’ll never forget that sweet, fragrant flavor...”
The much-mentioned city lord: “Don’t think you can get out of work just by praising me. Grab your hoes and get out in the fields!”
