Novel Full Chapter 239 Going Back to New Leaf!
Chapter 239 Going Back to New Leaf!
━━━━━━ POV ━━━━━━━As time went by, most players left the Tutorial. Village after village teleported to towns just like Sprigfield. But even amidst all of them, one particularly stood out.
New Leaf+ was unique, so unique that some would remake their characters until they spawned in it while others avoided it like the plague. It was becoming infamous!
In a manor, a particular “Pudding Thief” was now rooming with her old friend. She was seeking refuge from her family marrying her off to a wealthy but abusive wealthy magnate.
”Hey, Bubblegum, come watch this! It’s a documentary about your beloved New Leaf!” She excitedly called out.
”Documentary? What kind? I finally have time to log in, so I might as well just go back….” Her reliable and beautiful friend grumbled but came nonetheless.
It was yet another Pancakes Video as his goofy self appeared on camera. But for some reason, he was wearing a serious-looking monk outfit while appearing solemn.
Without even welcoming the viewers, he started preaching…
”Today is about Envy. My friends, do not let Envy control you. It is a poison that will wither your soul and leave you with a bottomless void….”
”Do not despair even if you are not part of the chosen ones, for there is still hope to illuminate the darkness….”
- LoveMenInUniforms: This monk robe looks neat. Where can I buy one for Halloween?
- TruthGospell: He actually sounds legit. Still, it’s totally about to turn ridiculous…
- IGetMyNewsOnPornBUB: Envy? Wanna bet he’s about to brag?
”Now, everyone, remember. It is not that your village suck. It’s just that New Leaf is too freaking sick! Oh god, you won’t believe how awesome it’s become recently, hahaha!”
”Are you guys ready? If you’re easily tempted, throw your screen away ASAP before envy consumes you!!” He screamed the last part.
- ItsiBitsyWeed: Throwing my phone away right now!
- AyeAyeCaptain: Throwing my PC and television out the window!
- FollowsInstructions: Guys, I’m watching this in a movie theater…. How am I supposed to comply?!
They joked around, but all stayed as an unknown man appeared on the screen.
”Hello, everyone. I’m called Professional House Tour, and this is New Leaf+ Village. Now, without further ado, welcome to my crib!”
A village visit, was it? There were many skeptics…
- ConfusionOfHighestOrder: How’s this different from the Welcome to New Leaf official video?
- PotatoPatato: Meh, it’s all the same, right? Did this Pancakes dude run out of content? Lol
- ProfessionalDoubter: He’s praising New Leaf so much, but the players there are so slow to graduate from the Tutorial. A snail could put on a VR helmet and be faster!
But a few seconds later, the doubters started regretting having sent those comments. What the heck was this?! Was this still a village?!
There were buildings, way too many buildings! Most were crude, but it was still so noticeable! After all, the beginner villages were supposed to be all built the same!
”As you guys can see, we expended a bit. The Chief has agreed to let us develop ever since we repelled that Devil Invasion.” He casually mentioned. Devil Invasion?!! WTF?!
Then there were the people themselves. How was it that they all had emblems?! It was either a wolf or a sword, but both had been drawn to appear powerful!
”Here in New Leaf, you’re either a member of D.L. or I.R.L. no other faction can get a footing. After all, none can match the benefits of the giants!”
Then there was the plain. Where were the basic old chickens?! There were plants and chickens both glowing a holy radiant light! Then at the edge, shadow creatures roamed.
”In New Leaf, one doesn’t need to leave the plains to train. There are mobs of all levels, from 2 to 15. It’s pretty sweet when you’re trying to power-level and hone your skills.”
At this point, the watchers’ astonishment was through the roof.
- Won’tBeShocked: What the hell?! Level 15?! That’s as high as some of the strongest factions!
- NoShitBatdude: No wonder they are slow to leave the Tutorial! Why would they?! While others leave it at level 10, they can stay there till 15+?!
- SmallReminder: Don’t forget that they also have that Chicken Undead Dungeon, the one that’s finally spawning for the other villages too. Let me tell you: it’s goddamn unbeatable!
”Let’s continue, shall we? Training is one thing, but we also know how to have fun in New Leaf! Let’s check out some of the cool spots!”
They thought they had seen some crazy shit before, but it was nothing compared to what was to come. It wasn’t just crazy…it was pure madness!
1. Chicken Arena
Chickens, Holy chickens, and soon skeletal chickens?! Every contestant had its backstory and motivations explaining why it fought.
In the center of the arena was a complete wrestling ring, with the bouncy ropes and all. This allowed the feathery creatures to fly all over the place, showing their moves.
The man only showed a slight preview, but it made the viewers want more.
- RAWRFan: Who the hell taught wrestling moves to chickens?! That Superkick was absolutely phenomenal, so was the Flying Wingbow, the Cluckdriver, the ….
2. Shadow Tavern
There happened a drinking contest from Hell! The players had to chug non-stop while surviving the attacks of various monsters. The last stage was with the level 15 shadows!
The contestants were so drunk that they would dare one another to do dumb stuff. “Hehe, I bet you can’t touch that wolf’s tail!” Of course, a massacre pretty much always happened.
- JackassLover: Wait, the audience is shouting dares at them. I wanna make a request too!
3. The Anger Games
This was a series of challenges that were either straight-up PVP or competitive PVE. The whole D.L. VS I.R.L. war had long turned into an entertaining event for both sides.
Each wanted to destroy their opponents, but it would pretty much always end up as a tie. It was almost as if fate itself didn’t want to let this grudge stop!
- WellHungScholar: Guys…. Am I insane, or were the challenges carefully designed to make them stronger?! This is no game. It’s training!
4. POF: Piranha Official Fishing
One old fisherman pretty much lived by the river in the Wolf Den. He’d spend days and nights fishing tirelessly, soon attracting the attention of both factions.
Many started copying him in their free time and enjoyed the activity. Somehow it had soon turned into an official New Leaf activity.
- FishingFTW: This seems nice….
The Professional House Tour guy was finally done showing them the place.
”That sums it up. Those are the coolest things to do in New Leaf. Oh, right, we have actual promotional signs. Here’s one, for instance!” He pointed.

The screen froze on the sign for a few seconds before turning back to the smiling Pancakes.
”Now, my friends, remember not to feel too envious. After all, being too jelly could lead to vomiting blood, skin turning fuchsia, and genitals falling off. Have a great day!”
As the screen turned dark, many remained flabbergasted for a solid minute before a flurry of comments was sent.
- RealDoctor: Real Doctor here, and I can confirm. Those are all totally accurate
- GambledMyWaifuAway: Holy crap! Where the fuck is New Leaf?! How do I get there?! Quick, it’s urgent! At least tell me how to watch the streams!!!
- PositivelyScared: They did all that in the beginner villager?! It’s only been a few weeks since the start of the game too! What will happen in a month?! Space travel?!
There were so many comments that it was hard to keep track of them all. Two ladies couldn’t help but stare at their screens in wonder.
”Sorry. By dragging you in my problems, I made you miss many things, didn’t I?” The “Pudding Thief” gave a small apology.
”Don’t worry. Friends should support one another.” Bubblegum reassured as she decisively headed to her VR helmet.
She had been away from the game for far too long…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
As Bubblegum examined her surroundings, she smiled. Even with all the changes, New Leaf was still New Leaf. The very air felt familiar, and so were the people.
Still, it sure had grown a lot. Before, there had been about a thousand players in here, and now there were at least twice those numbers. New players arrived, but no one desired to leave.
”Oh my god, there’s a revenant!!!” A loud voice suddenly echoed, a few members of D.L. already making their way toward her.
”Everyone, the Queen is Back!” One playfully shouted. Still, there was respect in his tone.
”Don’t mess around! Call her the Unholy Pink One!” A cultist shouted.
As usual, this place sure was lively! She could already hear the whispers. Some wondered who she was, others informed the Newbies, and a few I.R.L. members frowned at her sight.
”Hey, you guys. It has been a while indeed. Do you know where CPR Dude is?” He would be the best one to bring her up to speed.
”Yes, lady, follow me!” It barely took a second before she had guides eager to show the way.
They would sometimes glance at her, a smile on their faces. They couldn’t wait to see the reaction of their burly and grumpy leader.
Before long, she was led to the Blacksmith’s forge. She entered alone, mischievously sneaking her way in. CPR dude was there, guiding the NPC into forging what appeared to be a glorious chicken plate mail.
She came close and…
”Boo!”
”What the hell?! Who’s — Ah, you’re back!!!” He went from surprise to surprise as he finally noticed her.
”Yep. It seems you’ve done a good job in Jack’s absence. The village is still standing after all.” She praised.
”Where the hell were you?! Then again, I guess it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I’m sending you Jack’s number but don’t share it.”
”Number?!”
”Yeah, phone number, what else? Don’t tell me you believed that NPC Bullshit?” He grinned, showing a teasing smile.
Like he was one to talk! How shameless! He had been the one to spearhead that theory from the very start! It seems she had been right. Jack was either a GM or a Dev….
”Ah, but make sure you don’t tell anyone. We still have the whole ‘he might be an NPC’ rumor going around, you know.”
”Rumor?”
”You know the D.L. cult? Well, they’ve managed to convince people that he’s actually a True God in Infinite. Let’s just say our recruitment has been going well since then.”
”Alright. Thanks for the info.”
”Oh right, we’re about to leave this place. You’re coming, right? Don’t worry about your level. Ever since the Devil Invasion, it’s way easier to catch up for skilled players.” He reassured.
”Pfft— No need to worry about me. Give me a day, and you’ll be left in the dust.” She joked…and yet there was truth to her words.
It was time to get serious about Infinite, and it was also time to send a text message. Why did the second one seem much harder? Or should she call him directly? Who knows…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[A/N] Fighting a Boss VS sending a text message. What’s harder? xD
I feel like some might enjoy this chapter, I could be wrong tho…
