The Faction Chief sitting next to her had a dark expression, thinking, Is this the high-difficulty level that you mentioned?!

“Tomorrow...”

Before he could finish, cheers rose from the audience like ocean waves.

“Hua-!”

“This is awesome! This is awesome!”

“Don’t hesitate anymore! I haven’t fallen yet!”

Almost all the audience began to sing with them, instantly lighting up the atmosphere from the stage to the audience stands.

“Hiss... Huh?” The Nanhua Faction Master froze.

“Hehe... the young people nowadays are so passionate? Junior Sister Xichi... I think we’ll at least secure a good position at the top! Oh, you taught them well, Junior Sister...”

“Really...?” The Xichi Spiritual Master froze, thinking, I didn’t teach them that...

As the atmosphere on the stage turned warmer, the second activity started.

After all, the players needed time to write down their most unforgettable memories for the second activity.

...

“Ya-! They are singing ‘I’m MT’!” At this moment, Sala and the other elves looked amazed while sitting on the audience stand.

“We’ll sing in a moment as well!”

“What are you going to sing?” Beside them, Helen asked curiously.

“Now that they sang it, you can’t get a high point if you sing the same song.”

“Then, we’ll sing...” Sala said, “Seeking Love in Sword and Fairies!”

“Ay-! Right! Right!” Rowling exclaimed, “When I played the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4, I loved this song!”

“The problem is... no one can play guqin...” At this moment, Helen brought up a frustrating problem. “You guys can only play the harp.”

[TL Note: Guqin and guzheng are similar but different instruments.]

“I can play it!” At this moment, Elder Swell took out a guqin from somewhere. As an elf who loved music and arts passionately, she could play any musical instrument!

“Ya! We can sing Seeking Love in Sword and Fairies?!”

The nearby knights from the Golden Griffin Knight Legion looked envious, “Count us in!”

“Me too!”

“Um... Look! Isn’t he Mr. Harrison from the Brotherhood?”

At this moment, after the cultivators of the Nanhua Faction left the stage, a middle-aged man with a weathered face came up with an instrument looking like a flute in his hand.

The tunes that this instrument made were sad and deep with a trace of loneliness of a wanderer.

“Yasuo!” The music-loving elves immediately recognized this.

“Huh? Is that a flute?” Helen was also listening to the music.

“Hehe. You don’t know it, right? It’s called Shakuhachi,” Sala showed off her knowledge smugly, “It’s said to be an ancient musical instrument that was introduced from the Central Region to the Dongying Region.”

Regardless if they could play them or not, the elves obviously had knowledge on all kinds of musical instruments.

Then, she wondered curiously, “But... there’s also the Central Region in the Legend of Sword and Fairy, and the story of the Turbulent Homeland also happened in the Central Region. Are they the same place? How come the people in this place didn’t run into each other?”

“Oh, the Duel also happened in the Central Region!”

“Perhaps it is like the Continent of Immortal Relics and the Continent of the Immortal Village; they have similar names but are in fact totally different places,” Elder Sewell explained.

“Let’s go; it’s our turn.”

“Elder, you registered this early?”

According to the rules, they could enter the competition together, but one could only compete once in the same activity.

...

At this moment, Su Tianji returned with a box of food in her hands. While eating from the box, she watched the activities through her computer.

“Look! So many elves!” She suddenly heard an exclamation.

“Where?! Where?!” Su Tianji looked over while eating from the box and saw a large group of elves standing on the stage.

“What are they going to sing?!”

Then, she heard notes of guqin which flowed over like gurgling creek water.

The elves opened their mouths.

“Tiny raindrops flew in the breeze, just like unending love.”

“Snowflakes fall in the turbid Yellow River, just like the sadness in unfulfilled love.”

Although they didn’t prepare for it, the arts-loving elves sang as if they had rehearsed it countless times.

“Huh...!” Su Tianji stared at the screen and saw an elf playing the guqin.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yeah...!” Dong Qingli from the Wind and Moon pavilion who was responsible for staffs’ food stared at the screen in amazement. Her eyes rolled as if she was calculating the odds of stealing two elves.

There were so many elves, and she was sure the theft wouldn’t be noticed...

“They can even sing this song!” Song Qingfeng exclaimed, “F*ck! Their pronunciation is excellent! They sing so well...”

“These elves can even play guqin! I’m surprised!” In the Canglan City Shop, the dog-headed man stared at the stage dumbfoundedly.

“Awesome!”

“Excellent!”

Mr. Fang was also staring at them, looking stunned. “You guys are so talented?”

He thought sulkily, Hiss... it seems like only I don’t have other talents...

“Do you want to learn?” Beside him, Su Tianji said while eating her box meal, “I can teach you.”

“Aya...” Mr. Fang put his palm on his forehead, looking to be having a heartache.

[Sir! What do you think? Wasn’t our performance good?!] After the elves got off the stage, they even sent a message to Mr. Fang.

Mr. Fang replied, [How come you guys are so awesome?]

[Hehe... o(*≧▽≦)ツ]

...

Besides this song, participants also played the little tune from Lion Pride Inn in World of Warcraft and the harp music from Seria’s Tavern in Dungeon Fighter Online.

The fast and light or slow and soft music pieces brought them back to the moment when they first entered these miraculous and dreamy worlds.

They still remembered the lively scenes in which countless players set out from the newbie village and gathered in the first town.

The boisterous or soft sounds seemed to be lingering in the back of their minds.

At this moment, the two hostesses got onto the stage again. “Those performances are fantastic.”

“Perhaps... for many people here, they are not only games.”

“Perhaps we haven’t played them for long.

“But I think most of our Daoist friends have the same feeling. In less than ten years, which is quite short, our lives have been more fascinating than those dozens if not hundreds of years that we had lived.”

“Yes, in this colorful life, we understand that we’re not only being alive,” Ning Bi said in a loud voice, “We... live happily and colorfully with a passionate love for the world we live in.”

“We have killed demons while flying on swords, we have ventured into a grand continent that we had never seen before, we’ve seen demon gods who can destroy everything, and we’ve even become champions and heroes. These are our fascinating and glorious memories.

“We can tell everyone with a loud voice – we love games, and we love life.”

“We love this world with great passion!

“Then... I’d like to ask all the friends here, what’s the most unforgettable thing in the depths of your memory?!”
