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.
After receiving the novice gift package, Xiao Baicai opened it immediately to see what the novice gift package of "Taohuayuan" would give him.
A hen, a big yellow dog, a backpack, a bunch of tools like shovels, hoes, fishing rods, sickles, two pottery jars, and some seeds and seasonings. The names of these things were listed in the gift bag, and it was impossible to finish reading them at a glance.
"Wow, this gift package looks like it has a lot of stuff!" Xiao Baicai, who was in a difficult situation, couldn't help but sigh after taking one look.
The land smiled without saying a word.
These things seem like a lot, but they are actually basic necessities, which means that even if they are not put in the gift pack, they still need to be given to players. It’s just that putting them in the novice gift pack will make them look very rich.
After Xiao Baicai opened the novice gift package and took out all these things, his paradise with only a thatched hut suddenly became a little more lively.
The big yellow dog strolled up to him, and the hen walked back and forth beside the thatched hut, and soon made her home on a haystack. Various other tools filled a corner of the courtyard of his thatched hut.
"This is the first novice gift pack. When the village level of Peach Blossom Spring is upgraded to level five, you, the village chief, can open the second novice gift pack." The land said, twirling his beard, and asked the young cabbage to take a look at the contents of the second novice gift pack.
Mainly poultry and livestock such as pigs, cattle, sheep, ducks, geese, rabbits and cats, as well as wood for building houses and a few recipes.
The cat is a tabby cat, which, like the big yellow dog, is the most common pet in the village.
"How do we upgrade the village level?" Little Cabbage, who was in a difficult situation, asked cooperatively.
"Cultivate fields, plant crops, upgrade houses, unlock buildings, unlock the Traveler's Guide... basically, any activity you undertake in Peach Blossom Land will earn you experience." The land god gestured for him to take the seeds. "Let's master the most basic one first."
That is the core gameplay of "Peach Blossom Spring", farming.
The last time he came here, he only went to the sea to eat, and had not experienced this kind of fun yet. The little cabbage, which was in a period of transition, followed the land to the farmland area with a little expectation.
Although it is about farming, Xu Piao certainly cannot arrange all the processes according to the real situation, which would make the players too tired to stand up. She has appropriately simplified and beautified these processes.
Just like in a real village, as long as there are poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, sheep, and dogs, the sanitary conditions will be relatively poor. In the game, of course, it doesn't have to be that realistic. "Taohuayuan" represents the idyllic life that people yearn for.
To plant Chinese cabbage during the gap between harvest and harvest, just use a hoe to scratch the field and plant the seeds, and the crop is ready.
After planting, he followed the guidance of the land and reclaimed a piece of wasteland next to it. He enthusiastically planted the remaining seeds in the fields next to him. When he looked back, he saw tender sprouts already sprouting in the first piece of land he had just planted.
This is thanks to a buff in the novice benefits that reduces the time consumption by half.
Just after he finished planting the cabbages, which were in the offing, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. He was stunned for a moment, picked up the soil and ran to the village, hiding in a thatched hut to avoid the rain.
Almost the next second after he stepped into the thatched hut, the drizzle became heavier.
The sound of raindrops falling on the ground was like a hazy smoke, and the distant scenery became soft and blurred. There was also a dripping sound on the roof of the thatched house.
In a noisy yet quiet rain, the whole world seemed to become quiet and sleepy all of a sudden. The cabbage that was in the transition period suddenly had an idea of doing nothing but sitting here and staring at the rain outside.
[…This rain is so beautiful.]
[This is a completely different game from Shanhailu. I think I will really like this game.]
[I feel like I want to say something, but I can’t describe it]
【Suddenly sleepy】
Even the words on the barrage seemed to become peaceful and soothing along with the rain.
"Spring rain is as precious as oil." The land sighed slowly, and saw the hen that had made its home on the haystack outside flapping its wings and crawling into the thatched hut, now soaked like a drowned chicken.
But I don’t know if it was frightened or what, the hen fluttered into the thatched hut, shook its wet wings and laid an egg.
Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, was awakened by the clucking sound. When he turned around, he saw that the hen had laid the egg in front of him.
It was... quite sudden. In just a blink of an eye, the egg came out. It was so smooth!
"Village chief, you've been caught in the rain. You need something hot to cool off." The land smiled at the egg and said to the cabbage, which was in a difficult situation, "We have the ingredients we need to make a steamed egg."
As soon as he heard the word "eat", the cabbage that was in a period of transition from food to food was no longer sleepy, and no longer wanted to appreciate the rainy scene. He took the fresh and hot eggs and followed the land to the stove. He hurriedly cracked the eggs according to the land's instructions, beat them, added water and salt, made the steamer in the tool, put it on the pot and started steaming.
Steamed egg can be said to be a very simple dish. Generally, even people who have never cooked before can make good steamed eggs by following the steps.
However, the interstellar person who only eats nutritional supplements has never used chopsticks. He spent a lot of time beating the egg liquid and almost spilled the whole bowl of eggs on the ground. It was the land that allowed him to turn on the automatic mode, which is the chef mode, in time to save the egg liquid that was almost gone and successfully steam the eggs.
"Huh..." Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, wiped the sweat off his face and breathed a sigh of relief.
[That was a close call. It made me nervous.]
[What was I just about to say? Isn't this more exciting than Xiaobaicai's battle match? Hahahaha]
【It’s getting worse hahaha】
[However, the difference between the automatic mode and when Xiaobaicai makes things by himself is really huge. You can tell the difference between a novice and an advanced player at a glance.]
[And this looks so simple, I can do it just by watching! ]
"You can't say that. Everyone has a first time. With this experience, I'm sure I'll succeed next time!" Xiao Baicai, who was in a difficult situation, took a look at the comments and defended himself. "Besides, this is really not as simple as you make it look. These two sticks are not easy to hold. You'll understand when you play it yourself."
After finishing speaking, Xiaobaicai paused and said thoughtfully, "I just don't know when the public beta will be available."
The barrage was immediately flooded with comments like "Pah!" and "Damn, I'm so pissed off."
Meanwhile, thanks to the buff that halved the time consumption, the steamed egg was quickly ready. Reminded by the earth, the stale cabbage withdrew its attention from the barrage and carefully lifted the lid of the steamer.
The moment the lid of the steamer was opened, a burst of white hot steam suddenly rushed out, and the young cabbages, which were neither green nor yellow, quickly retracted their heads.
It was clearly just a bowl of basic steamed egg, but it emitted a golden glow due to the special effects of cooking.
"See what flavor you want, add some soy sauce or brown sugar, sprinkle some chopped green onions, and you're ready to eat." Tudi reminded slowly, "If you're not sure what flavor you want, you can divide it into two bowls and add different flavors to each."
The cabbage, which was in a period of transition, thought about it and decided to follow the instructions of the land and find another bowl.
The moment he added the seasoning, a golden system notification box popped up in front of him:
Congratulations! You have unlocked the basic dish: Steamed Egg (Salty/Sweet). 1/50 of the basic dish illustrations have been unlocked.
"I wonder what this steamed egg will taste like..." Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, read the system notification, pulled a small stool and a small table to the door of the thatched hut, then brought two bowls of steamed eggs to the table, and found the spoon with the meticulous reminder of the land.
"Land, would you like a bowl?" He turned and asked the land.
The land smiled and shook his head, "Village Chief, I don't need to eat."
"Okay." Xiao Baicai, who was in a state of transition, sat back and picked up a bowl of still hot steamed eggs.
The drizzle was still falling, and under the influence of this environment, he felt a bit poetic. While watching the rain, he comfortably ate the hot steamed egg with a spoon, savoring the delicacy that the audience did not know about alone.
The smooth and soft texture was completely different from the various marine creatures such as snails, shellfish, and crabs he had eaten during the last internal test. The mild taste made his body feel warm.
If the cabbage that is in a period of transition could meet a traveler from Bashu, he might know what words to use to describe this feeling.
In other words, it's awesome.
After a while, the rain gradually stopped, but the ground outside was still a little wet, and the slight breeze brought slightly moist air.
Seeing that Xiaobaicai had almost finished his rest, the land said to him, "After every rain, a lot of mushrooms grow in the back mountain. Mushrooms are also a very good food. Village chief, do you want to go and take a look now?"
"Okay, okay!" The green and yellow cabbage lying on the chair immediately responded and stood up again.
The land owner asked him to carry a small shovel and a backpack and led him to the back mountain.
The back mountain of Peach Blossom Spring is a bit far from the thatched cottage and the farmland, but when Xiaobaicai arrived near the back mountain, he saw a large lake surrounded by the mountain. There was a wooden structure parked on the lakeside, and the name marked by the system was [Boat].
In addition, he also saw that after the lake area on the map was unlocked, three very conspicuous words were marked on the map.
[Fishing Spot]
...It looks like a new way to play. He looked towards the lake with great interest and pulled the strap of the backpack that was sliding down.
Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, didn't realize that he had been thinking about going to the beach before entering the internal test, but after he actually came in, he didn't think about going to the beach until now.
The audience in the live broadcast room didn't remember it either.
Those who were looking forward to and excitedly brushing the [Go to the Sea, Go to the Sea] game at the beginning of the live broadcast have now been attracted by the endless other ways to play in "Taohuayuan".
This is before the traveler mode is unlocked.
