Chapter 2

"Oh, then after dad logs in, his profession will be the boss... wife and husband, haha!" Bei Qiao laughed so hard that he squatted on the ground holding his stomach, and quickly took off his helmet to wipe away the tears of laughter.

What's going on? It seems like Dad has been slacking off lately. You know, the professions in the game are generated based on the player's real-life information. In other words...

"According to the data, mom is the head of the family!"

"Why not?" Qiao Lin smiled.

I wonder what my dad's reaction will be when he returns... Bei Qiao wiped away her tears and put her helmet back on. At this moment, her identity information was being generated based on her mother's information, and it was displayed line by line: the only daughter of the boss of the escort agency, 20 years old, martial arts skills not yet activated...

Not turned on?

The system assigned her a set of initial clothing: a black, dirt-resistant short-sleeved shirt, plain and simple, with only a few decorative patterns on the cuffs. The midriff wasn't mentioned, but the initial shoes were black cloth shoes, clearly matching the outfit, dirt-resistant and heat-absorbing.

System packages don't exist in "Issue Martial Arts," but there are pockets in the sleeves of the shorts that can be used to store things. Of course, Bei Qiao's pockets are empty right now. After all, apart from the initial equipment provided by the game, her personal in-game assets are currently zero.

Players' facial data is automatically scanned and uploaded, and then fine-tuned by the system to prevent players from being instantly recognized in real life. Players cannot adjust their facial features, but they can adjust their hairstyle and hair accessories.

Because Bei Qiao is the daughter of the boss of the escort agency, the system sets her a very neat and clean double bun hairstyle, which is so simple that it only has two hair ties for decoration.

Looking down at his overall appearance, Bei Qiao nodded with satisfaction: "Mom, I'll enter the game first." He should be able to find a way to unlock martial arts skills in the game. After all, this game is called "Martial Arts in Another World".

"Hurry up, I'm already in."

Click to confirm the login, and the scene in front of you changes instantly. Bei Qiao appears in the world of "Martial Arts in Another World", standing in front of the escort agency under the sun.

Because of the five senses simulation, she could also feel the hot wind blowing towards her in the helmet. However, because there was no holographic cabin, this feeling was limited to the head, and there was no feeling of wind below the neck.

Looking at the shadow at the twin buns on his head, he lowered his head to move his ankles and jumped on the spot. Bei Qiao was very satisfied with the holographic simulation of the game: "It is worthy of being the most realistic holographic game on the market. It feels so real!" If it weren't for the character information interface in the upper right corner of the field of view that could be unfolded in front of him, and the considerable temperature difference between his head and body, Bei Qiao would almost think that he had traveled through time.

"Yes, it's so real. The whole escort agency is empty. There is nothing inside except a table used as a reception desk." Qiao Lin, who was wearing brick-red shorts, leaned out of the house and waved to Bei Qiao: "What are you still standing outside for? Come in quickly. Aren't you hot?" Fortunately, the house was relatively clean, otherwise it would be very tiring to clean such a large house.

"It's quite hot." Bei Qiao tugged at his collar, looked up at the plaque that still had no name on it, and walked into the escort agency. Yes, his own escort agency.

"Looks like I need to plan to buy a holographic cabin. My head is almost dizzy from the simulated sun." Bei Qiao raised his hand to touch his chin, and fanned his neck with his other hand: "It's hot! It feels like only my head is steaming like a sauna!"

"No need to wait for you to make money, just wait." Qiao Lin logged out of the game, took off his helmet, took out a holographic simulated weather instrument from the top cabinet of the closet, placed it on the table, and connected it to the helmet via Bluetooth.

After receiving the signal, the helmet automatically began to adjust the data. Not long after, Bei Qiao felt that the sensations on his body and head had become consistent: "Finally, I feel a little more comfortable, Mom. Why haven't I seen you use this device before?" Although its functions are not as good as the holographic cabin, its size is also a comparable substitute.

"The electricity bill is too expensive. Even though it doesn't take up much space, it consumes more electricity than a small sun when it's turned on."

"Oh." Bei Qiao nodded and strolled around the escort agency curiously.

The escort agency was estimated to be approximately 100 square meters in size. It was very spacious, just as her mother had said. There was only a counter, and the counter itself was empty. There must have been air conditioning hidden in the walls of the escort agency. After entering, she felt it was cooler than outside, and slightly warmer than the actual indoor temperature.

Patting the empty countertop, Bei Qiao turned and walked to the back of the house. He pushed open another back door that was smaller than the main door, and the heat from outside immediately hit him. "It's nice to have a small courtyard, but it's quite hot."

"I'll look for an umbrella later. It's not a good idea to be out in the sun all the time... The system says the initial construction area is one mu. So this is how one mu is calculated." Qiao Lin walked into the yard, took a few steps along the shaded corner of the wall, and estimated: "The escort agency outside and the small courtyard are almost exactly one mu."

The courtyard was much larger than the house. Opposite the gate stood a martial arts arena, and behind it was the backyard. Like the hut, the arena was bare except for a few large vats near the edge and a weapon rack. On the rack stood a long sword, a long wooden staff, a short metal staff, and a long whip hanging next to the short staff.

"It is said that a knife is easier to wield than a sword." Bei Qiao jumped onto the martial arts stage, pulled out the long knife, turned it around in his hand, and made a downward chopping motion: "It's a bit heavy, not very convenient for me to use, I need to increase my strength training. Mom, do you want to try it? I think you can do it." It's not that Bei Qiao can't wield the long knife, but he is limited by the weight of the knife itself. His movements are not as agile as usual, and it is easy for others to take advantage of him in close combat.

Qiao Lin happily took the long sword, stepped back a few steps, turned his wrist, and spun the long sword around: "Not bad, it's quite handy."

"Then this big knife belongs to you, Mom. Let me try if this whip is easy to use." Bei Qiao walked around the stick, took the long whip from the shelf, dodged Qiao Lin and swung it forward. The next second, she quickly twisted her waist to the side, thus avoiding the consequence of being hit by the tail of the whip.

Bei Qiao: "..."

Bei Qiao: "Okay, it seems I don't have the talent for using a whip." But this did not stop Bei Qiao from wrapping the whip around his waist, because the whip looked pretty good, and if things didn't work out, it could be used as a rope.

After wielding both the long and short sticks, Bei Qiao ultimately chose the short one, intending to tuck it around her waist to acclimate herself to carrying a weapon. Seeing that one end of the short stick seemed movable, she grasped it and pulled it out, successfully extracting a shorter dagger.

"It's a bit fancy, but it can cut ropes." Bei Qiao pushed the dagger back, put it on his waist, and hurried to continue patrolling the territory: Although I don't know how to use a dagger, it is better to have one than not, and there will always be occasions where I can use it.

Aside from the escort agency and the martial arts arena, the rest of the space was the backyard, where they lived their daily lives in the game. Perhaps to separate the escort agency from the backyard, a wall separated the martial arts arena from the backyard. On the wall was an arched door leading to the back, where a dog was tied, wagging its tail enthusiastically.

"Is it a pastoral dog? It's quite good-looking." Bei Qiao squatted down and petted the head of the small black dog that was struggling to break free from its leash. This is the AI ​​puppy that the system distributes to every household. It's a random breed, barks loudly when intimidating bad guys, is extremely loyal, and is good at guarding the house. Its bite is slightly painful. Because of concerns about people who don't know how to raise a dog, the system offers a service to buy dog ​​food. It's affordable and delivered directly to the dog's bowl.

For player convenience, the dog feeding function even supports mobile app operation. As for the automatic feeding function, it does not exist. The goal is to ensure absolute authenticity close to the historical background. If players are good at craftsmanship, they can try to buy dog ​​food and then use the materials to make an automatic feeder. By the way, if the AI ​​dog is not fed for a long time, it will run away from home.

"Just call you...Dudu." Bei Qiao nodded at Dudu's little tail that was swinging like an electric fan, stood up, walked around Dudu and walked into the archway.

If the martial arts arena was the front yard, then the backyard was where they would live. The backyard was vast, with the largest area occupied by farmland. Seeing the empty land, Bei Qiao instantly felt the farming spirit of the descendants of Yan and Huang awaken.

Walking along the path to the edge of the field, Bei Qiao bent down and grabbed some soil through the fence, twisting it in his hand: "The soil is good, Mom, we can plant something." There was a well next to the field, with a bucket hanging above the well and a watering can next to the well, so the problem of water supply for the field was solved.

I don’t know if it’s because cement hadn’t been invented yet, but the backyard wasn’t paved with cement. Instead, there were a few paths paved with bluestone. One path led to a field surrounded by a fence, one led to a two-story building, and another led to the place where the grains were recycled.

"This toilet was built to prevent the indigenous people from discovering its unreasonableness." Bei Qiao walked over and pushed the door: "The door is locked because we are afraid that someone will climb over the wall to use it." I have to check the protective capabilities of the wall later. I can't let others climb over the wall and run into my house. This is the territory I bought with my own money.

"It's almost lunchtime, stop saying that." Qiao Lin clicked on the in-game description of the farm and took a closer look. "There aren't many seed varieties, and I need to buy some fertilizer... Never mind, I'll look at that small residential building first. I don't know if everything is in there."

"You go in first. I'll check out the wall before I go in." Bei Qiao walked around the wall of the backyard: "There are no big trees inside and outside the wall, so no one can climb up; there are irregular reflections on the top of the wall, which are suspected to be debris to prevent people from climbing; the corners of the wall are full of thorns, and they will become hedgehogs if they fall to the ground..." Overall, the safety factor is good.
