Xu Piao died and was reborn, transmigrating in a blink of an eye into an interstellar online game sweet romance novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name.
Overnight, it seemed as if the whole world was discussing "Records of Mountains and Seas".
After the event ended, the players of "Shan Hai Lu" were prompted to update and maintain. They had a grudge that was stuck in their chests and nowhere to vent it. They were so excited that they couldn't sleep, so naturally they couldn't help but discuss it on Star Network.
"Shan Hai Lu" has had its own discussion area for a long time, but this is the first time that this discussion area has been so lively. Before this fifteen-day event, there were only two or three scattered kittens in the discussion area. As a result, after the event, the discussion area of "Shan Hai Lu" was directly posted as a popular discussion area and has been on the homepage ever since.
[He finally overtook the opponent and reached the top. Awesome! I would call him the best!]
The scene with Nuwa mending the sky was so shocking! Oh my god, my heart is still pounding and I can't sleep... Seriously, is the producer of "Shan Hai Lu" really a newcomer? How could a newcomer create such a shocking worldview in their first game? This producer is simply a monster.
[Newcomers are all monsters +1]
[No kidding, I really want to know the complete worldview of Shanhailu. I originally thought that the strange beasts of the mountains and seas, the mountains, rivers, sun and moon transformed into gods, etc. were already a rare and novel worldview, but now I realize that what we have seen so far may only be a small corner. This time, [Dragon and Phoenix Battle], [Buzhou Mountain Collapse], and [Nuwa Repairs the Sky] truly opened the prelude to this worldview of Shanhailu, revealing a small part of it.]
Many companions' backstories reveal some information. I feel like there's a lot of information in those stories, especially the ones with higher rarity.
[…But this time, I broke the bank and only got a Meta Dragon from an event after spending 300 or 400 draws. So, I’m just going to wait for the big spenders to unlock the backstory and release it.]
[I just want to know what new content will be added during this maintenance. After such a long maintenance period, there should be a lot of content added, right?]
…
Xu Piao glanced at the online discussions for a few seconds and saw that there were no obvious negative comments, so he stopped paying attention. He asked 079 to keep an eye on it.
She was currently repairing the ancient world of mountains and seas, which had been destroyed after the large-scale event and had few places left to see.
However, it is not a one-click refresh, it just restores the mountains and rivers to their original appearance, but the destroyed tribal gathering places cannot be restored with a single click. Post-disaster reconstruction is also part of the game. After a period of time after the update and maintenance, players' daily tasks can include helping tribal residents with post-disaster reconstruction.
This can also be regarded as a way to deepen the players' sense of participation in this world and make the players' feelings towards "Shan Hai Lu" more genuine.
Xu Piao had to admit that in this interstellar world without Earth civilization, it was really a refreshing thing to watch those interstellar players, who went from knowing nothing to gradually starting to discuss the mythological characters of her China, and being deeply shocked and attracted by these mythological stories that she had been familiar with since childhood. It also gave her a subtle sense of security.
The more familiar things became to her, the more secure she felt in this strange world, as if she wasn't so alone anymore.
Xu Piao suppressed the sudden feeling of loneliness deep in his heart and concentrated on maintaining the game.
Due to limited funds and time, she only managed to provide dungeon content up to level 30 for the original "Records of Mountains and Seas". When players first started playing, they were curious and didn't feel that the content was too little, but as the levels increased, they would inevitably feel bored. So now that Xu Piao had money, she immediately put in a lot of effort to expand the map and gameplay.
The five mountains almost raised the level cap to fifteen levels, which would be enough for a few months. Although there were only five added mountains, it still cost more than 300 million Alliance coins.
...It seems like they make a lot of money, but making games is also a very expensive project. Every square meter of construction is burning money.
In addition, she did not waste the two maps opened in this [Dragon and Phoenix Battle] event. After all, they were maps opened by paying real money. She changed the Dragon Palace Tower and the Phoenix Tower into permanent copies. In the future, the Dragon Palace Tower and the Phoenix Tower will be the places where players can brush artifact upgrade materials, and use the dropped scales and phoenix feathers to exchange for materials.
Like Nuwa's Map of Mountains and Rivers, Di Jun's River Map and Luoshu, Donghuang Taiyi's Donghuang Bell, Xihe's Golden Chariot for Controlling the Sun, and Houtu's Book of Life and Death, Xu Piao felt that he was already very conscientious not to be more unscrupulous and let players draw even the matching magic weapons. Isn't it a normal process to grind for materials to upgrade magic weapons?
Planning, can this be called hard work?
In short, after this large-scale event, there will be a liver-nurturing period of about a month, allowing players who have used up their Hongmeng purple energy and wallets to save tickets to replenish their blood, upgrade levels and raise partners. After all, it is a cultivation. Xu Piao estimates that there are not many people who have fully upgraded their SSR to the maximum level.
As for the next event, she has already thought about what to do.
If nothing unexpected happens, her next event should be based on "Xiao Yao You" and she will do a lighter Kunpeng event. The scene will be enough and not too heavy. Then she will release an SSR Kunpeng and several related SR and R cards.
Otherwise, you can't just end a catastrophe and then immediately start a war between the liches and the gods, which will greatly shorten the life of the game.
Xu Piao synchronized the updated content on time, and when he climbed out of the holographic game cabin, a handsome robot with white hair and black skin kindly delivered nutrients to him. This made Xu Piao feel that life after traveling through the book was not so bad after all.
And now she had saved up enough money to leave the third-class planet! It took her only twenty-five days! And there was even more!
This should be enough for her to find a nice place and buy a good house to live in after leaving the third-magnitude star... Oh, by the way, since this is the interstellar age, can she buy a small planet as long as she has money, and then transform it into whatever shape she wants?
If possible, Xu Piao thought he could try to save money to buy a small planet, then search for some seeds in the interstellar space and plant them on that planet, starting an interstellar farming life.
Others have a pastoral idyll, but she can have an interstellar idyll.
But having said that, Xu Piao actually doesn't like farming herself. She only likes others to farm, watch, and eat while others cook.
It’s hard to do things all the time.
But we have 079 who learns very quickly.
Thinking of this, Xu Piao drank the nutritional supplement while browsing the Star Network. He actually found some information about small planets for sale on the Star Network. However, the price of the smallest planet started at tens of billions. Xu Piao, who had just escaped poverty, still couldn't afford anything.
Forget it, I'd better just focus on making games first. It's still possible to make money by making good games.
Xu Piao put the empty bottle of nutrient aside, stood up and opened the curtains. She was about to ask 079 what the online reviews were like during the time she was doing maintenance and updates, but just as her hand touched the curtains, a prickly black shadow suddenly bounced off the curtains and hung on her hand.
Xu Piao was startled and shook his hands subconsciously, "What is that??"
The prickly black shadow fluttered and caught on her clothes again, but this time Xu Piao could see clearly what it was - it was the little prickly ball that she had bought as a gift from the chestnut ball at the market.
A creature that looks like a chestnut fur ball, but has small eyes and a mouth.
"It's still here?" Xu Piao hadn't seen the shadow of this little thorn ball at home for such a long time and thought it had run away long ago. Unexpectedly, it popped out unexpectedly today.
"It usually stays outside the windowsill for photosynthesis during the day and stays in the corner of the ceiling at night," explained 079.
It's a bit insignificant, which is also very worry-free.
Xu Piao still remembers that this little thorn ball was quite fierce at the stall that day and would bite people. It had to be locked in a cage, but it hasn't run away on its own until now.
——Xu Piao will never know how much harm and psychological trauma his behavior of peeling the chestnut ball and eating it raw, as well as cooking and eating the chestnuts, has brought to the young prickly ball's heart, so much so that it doesn't even dare to run, for fear of being caught and eaten.
"Do you want to give it a name?" 079 asked at the right time.
As for the name... Although it is considered to be raised now, it is not fully raised. However, giving it a name is not a problem. Because of his occupational disease, Xu Piao likes to give names.
So Xu Piao looked at the little thorn ball and saw that it didn't look very smart. He touched his chin and thought for a while, "Then let's call him Big Smart."
The little thorn ball was named Big Smart because he didn’t look very smart: Ji?
After naming it, Xu Piao gently poked the thorns of Da Congming and found that the thorns did not prick people at this time. They seemed to be soft, just like soft hair.
...Surprisingly, he is still capable of rua.
Xu Piao took Da Congming off his clothes and placed him on the simple table. Feeling not too sleepy after the maintenance, he said to 079, "Let's go to the scrapyard."
Because the old man in the abandoned yard is the person who registered and manages the house in Area D where Xu Piao lives.
Xu Piao thought that she would be able to pay back the 100 million deposit and social maintenance fee in the next few days and leave the third-class star. The house she left behind also had a lot of furniture that she and 079 had picked up from the scrapyard and assembled and modified. It looked like a place to live. She thought about selling the right to use the house before leaving. It would be nice to make some money or exchange it for some useful things.
After all, her goal now is to save money to buy a small planet.
…
The skinny old man at the scrapyard was still sitting there today, counting the scrap metal that someone had brought in to exchange for nutrients. Xu Piao had come to the scrapyard so many times to find things that he was quite familiar with the old man. When he arrived, he asked directly, "Is anyone in urgent need of a house recently?"
No one in District D knew the old man’s name or surname, so people usually just called him Old Man.
The old man raised his eyelids, but instead of opening his notebook to check, he looked at Xu Piao for a moment and said, "Are you ready to leave?"
Xu Piao nodded.
The old man seemed to smile with a hoarse and cold voice.
"Save your energy and don't pay that security deposit. You can't leave."
