The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 11: The Spirit Cultivation Game

Through Nicole's slow narration, Feng Yu learned about the magnificent and absolutely vicissitudes of the elves' history.

Elves are the native indigenous race of the Grein Continent, which is the continent where Feng Yu is currently located. They are the beloved sons of the Moon God in legend.

Of course, when Feng Yu heard the clues related to God, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

Through Nicole's narration, Feng Yu discovered that the so-called Moon Goddess in this world had never shown her miracles in this world. Instead, the elves wishfully believed that their outstanding magical talents and affluent living homes were all gifts from the Moon Goddess.

However, to Feng Yu, these words were automatically translated into the so-called Moon God, which was just a belief.

The moon, which the elves believed was the incarnation of the moon god, was also understood by Feng Yu as a form of totem worship, just like the worship of the sun, moon, certain constellations, and even some imaginary things by humans on Earth. It was a manifestation of a lack of understanding of the essence of the world.

The elves living in the Elf Forest in the central part of the Green Continent, which is the forest where Feng Yu is now, have long escaped from the problem of food by relying on their extraordinary magical talents, agility, and precise archery.

They lived in the Elf Forest and drove away the large carnivorous monsters there. This was why Feng Yu did not become the monster's poop even though he was deep in the forest of the High Magic World.

Because the large, aggressive monsters were driven away by the elves living here a long time ago.

The elves live a carefree life in this big forest by planting various fruit trees on the western edge of the forest, digging the roots of some edible plants in the forest, collecting mushrooms and other fungi, and purposefully cultivating small herbivores and some gentle monsters as food sources.

They live in wooden tree houses built on the canopies of tall trees, climb up and down the trees via vines, and even use vine bridges formed by vines between trees to carry out daily neighborhood gatherings such as "visiting each other".

Then, due to the change of living space, a group of semi-primitive "humans" discovered the elves on the edge of the forest while migrating. They were shocked by the elves' archery, magic and elegant posture, and believed that the elves were messengers of God.

Primitive humans with backward productivity worshipped elves, and they voluntarily served the elves as their masters in that barbaric era of mankind.

However, the elves do not want sloppy, dirty, and primitive humans to enter the holy elven forest, and they do not agree with their self-determination, because the elves have no need for this at all, so it does not matter to them.

However, the kind-hearted elves did not drive the humans away excessively, but allowed them to live in the fertile plains outside the elven forest. The elves, who were bored, also taught the humans how to make bows and arrows and archery skills, allowing them to fight against the threat of monsters.

The elves also taught humans to grow fruit trees and crops to fill their stomachs, so that human children would no longer die prematurely on a large scale due to hunger before reaching adulthood.

Because of "nothing to do", the elegant elves also taught writing and art to humans who had solved the threats to the natural environment, were able to fill their stomachs, and gradually became "elegant".

Feng Yu was very puzzled by this and asked Nicole why. Nicole said that the elves' predecessors hoped that their art could be appreciated by others instead of being circulated among the elves in the Elf Forest.

Feng Yu expressed his understanding. Artists, after all, seemed indifferent to fame and fortune. Unfortunately, most of them pursued art in order to shock the world with their works, thereby achieving success and becoming great artists respected by the world.

But it is a pity that these people basically do not have much artistic creativity, and most of them are mediocre throughout their lives. The real masters are mostly produced among those "crazy people" who are immersed in their own artistic world.

As for the elves, Feng Yu believed that there should be quite a few of them who were truly into art, and that was reason enough because they were bored.

Just like the ancient literary masters who traveled around the country, wrote poems and painted. Because there was no remote instant communication system, their world was just the sky in front of them, so they were bored, so they had to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers and leave behind brilliant works.

However, unlike the great writers of ancient times, the elves now have a race that can be trained and used to play the "cultivation" game. That race is the humans on the continent of Grion who worship the elves and voluntarily serve them as their masters.

After humans solved external threats and food problems, the "productivity" they liberated was extremely terrifying compared to the elves.

From Nicole's narration, Feng Yu learned that the average lifespan of elves is around 800 to 1,000 years old. They are considered adults at 200 years old, their physical development stops at 300 years old, and they are considered old when they are over 700 years old.

In this long life that Feng Yu envied, the elves started to reproduce at around 200 years old, and at most they had three or four children by the time they died. This was considered a "highly productive" elf couple, which was extremely rare among the elves.

Generally speaking, elf couples who have two children are considered to be doing well, and about half of the elf couples have only one child.

Half of the elf couples only have one child. This data shocked Feng Yu. They didn't perish naturally. The elves really had to thank the Moon Goddess for her protection.

But what about the elves' vassals, the humans of Gryn?

After humans were freed from the threats of monsters and hunger, the longest-lived individual could live to about 150 years old. In this high-magic world, 100-year-old "old people" were everywhere, and they even had a strong ability to work.

What's even more terrifying is that because they were threatened by the harsh living environment in the past, the Gryn people began to "marry" and have children at around the age of fifteen.

It is extremely rare for a human couple to have one or two children in their lifetime, because it would be easy for a family to be "broken up" when facing danger, so it is normal for human couples to have three or four children.

A wealthy couple could have five, six, seven or eight children, and forming a basketball team would be as easy as pie. For the more capable ones, it was not uncommon for them to form a football team with substitutes and a coach.

(To explain, this is not an exaggeration. A relative in the same village as my hometown has twelve children, eight sons and four daughters. This amazing pair of parents are of the same generation as my grandparents, and are about the same age. The old man is still alive.

I still remember that old man’s 80th birthday last year. He had his son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, granddaughter-in-law, granddaughter, grandson-in-law, grandson-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, grandson-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, and grandson-in-law, plus the naughty grandchildren. Four generations lived together. When they were paying their respects, there were fifty or sixty people kneeling on the ground, whimpering. The guests who didn’t know their family’s situation were stunned after listening to the introduction of our fellow villagers.

In that magical era, having more than three children was nothing. My grandfather had three brothers, and my father had three brothers and sisters, which was considered rare in the village.

It was also at that time that our population exploded. Then when my parents gave birth to me, they implemented extremely strict family planning.)
