Finally, the cabbage, which was in a difficult situation, finally arrived at Xiaoqin’s grandfather’s paradise.

The audience in his live broadcast room were all attracted by the sudden appearance of Xiaoqin and the direct conversation between her and her grandfather.

They ate the melon with gusto, looking at one side saying "Did they fall asleep as agreed? I was wrong after all", then looking at the other side saying "I just couldn't resist playing for a while", and then they pieced together the truth from this long-distance conversation while eating the melon.

The truth is so dramatic that it makes people feel surprised and a little funny at the same time.

[…In other words, is this a family drama sparked by a beta test account?]

[I actually didn’t find it outrageous, hahaha. Although it was unexpected, it was completely reasonable.]

[Wait! Is this even possible?! I need to ask my family if they've also been playing without telling me about the account they got!]

[Okay, I'll go check it out too...]

[That's good. I have some news to write about tomorrow, hahaha. I've even thought of the title: "On the Family Crisis Brought by Games: Why Grandfather and Grandson Became Apart and Turned Against Each Other"]

[This title has a certain feel to it.]

Xiaoqin felt a sense of desolation inside as she looked at the audience in the live broadcast room who could only laugh and had no idea what she was feeling.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that this feeling can be described as 'human joys and sorrows are not shared, I just think they are noisy'. She angrily turned off the barrage of comments that kept on making laughter. After a while, she found that watching the live broadcast was much less interesting without the barrage of comments, so she quietly turned it on again.

At this time, the little cabbage, which was in the period of transition from harvest to harvest, had already followed her grandfather into the village.

The initial settings of each Peach Blossom Spring are the same, which are all thatched houses and wasteland. However, as the players focus on different gameplay, the appearance of the Peach Blossom Spring will also be different.

For example, Xiao Baicai is obsessed with picking mushrooms, and so far he has only cultivated a few plots of farmland in his paradise.

And what about Xiaoqin’s grandfather?

Although no major changes were made in the short eight hours after the internal test began, and the thatched hut still looked like a thatched hut, it was obvious that Grandpa Xiaoqin had put a lot of thought into the fields, reclaiming all the wasteland that could be reclaimed at the current level and planting crops. Some of the fast-growing ones had already produced small seedlings.

Apart from this, there is a fenced area in Xiaoqin's grandfather's paradise. In that area, there is a group of finger-sized little people busying around, climbing up and down, hammering and hammering, looking like they are working very hard.

The young cabbage, which was in a period of transition, was stunned for a moment, "What is this...?"

"I saw in the gameplay that there's a gameplay called [Traveler], which can only be unlocked after building the first villager house, so I built the first villager house first."

"Ah? I see there are quite a lot of materials needed for construction?... This is too fast!" Xiao Baicai was in awe, looking at Grandpa Xiaoqin with the eyes of a peerless liver emperor.

As expected of an old man with the ID [Soul of the Dark Knight], he easily accomplished what his young son couldn't do. He couldn't even imagine how far behind the rest of the group he had fallen when he was obsessed with picking mushrooms!

"After reclaiming half of the wasteland, there will be an achievement, and the reward for the achievement will be building materials." Xiaoqin's grandfather said.

Xiao Baicai feels that he can do it again!

【Take notes, take notes!】

[Although there is no internal test account, it will definitely be used during the public beta, so save it first! ]

[I learned it, but I might still go pick mushrooms or go to the beach, hahaha]

After all, Xiaoqin is her grandfather's most beloved (currently questionable) granddaughter, so it is easy for her to detect his true pride from his deliberately nonchalant expression.

...Yeah, he can even name himself [Soul of the Dark Knight]. It's not surprising that grandpa would behave like this when he finds that his progress is faster than others. But it was the first time that Xiaoqin knew that grandpa, who is sometimes a little childish but has the hobbies of an elderly person, would use such a childish online name.

In other words, she had no impression of her grandfather playing games since she could remember.

Today was like getting to know Grandpa all over again.

Under such circumstances, the area enclosed by the fence has been built, and the surrounding fences have been removed. The thumb-shaped men who were climbing up and down the building and banging on it stopped moving at the moment the building was completed. They turned into soybeans scattered on the ground, and the land waved its hand and collected them all into its sleeves.

A brand new thatched hut stood there. It looked a little smaller than the original one, but it had everything it needed.

"The first villager house has been unlocked, and the [Traveler] gameplay has officially begun," said the landowner of Xiaoqin's grandfather's home. "From now on, the cave passage connecting Peach Blossom Spring to the outside world has been opened. Travelers from outside will randomly enter Peach Blossom Spring. Please ask the village chief to treat them well. If fate brings them together, there's a chance they'll stay in Peach Blossom Spring."

The young cabbage, who was in a difficult situation, sensitively caught the unpleasant words "random" and "probability" and raised his hand cautiously. "Wait, um, can I ask a question?"

Xiaoqin's grandfather and the land both agreed.

"That's right, this [Traveler] shouldn't be played the same way as drawing cards? Is it divided into different rarities?" This is also what other people watching the live broadcast wanted to ask.

The land god slowly shook his head. "With five thousand years of Chinese history, every person in this torrent of history has a unique story. So where does the concept of 'rarity' come from?"

At this point, the kind and benevolent Land suddenly smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "What the travelers have brought is something far more precious than anything else in this Peach Blossom Spring."

Xiaobaicai, who was in a period of transition, was confused, while Xiaoqin's grandfather seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing that Grandpa Xiaoqin's Peach Blossom Spring had been visited almost completely, Xiaobaicai noticed that Grandpa Xiaoqin had opened up the beach to catch seafood because he had reached a level higher than him, and she was a little tempted. "Since we can visit other people's homes, then activities like picking mushrooms and catching seafood should be something we can do with multiple people, right? I think it would be more fun with two people than alone. Why not go fishing or picking mushrooms online sometime?"

Judging from Qinghuangjie's performance in previous games, Xiaobaicai is a person who is not very good but very sociable.

That is, because there are not many opportunities to connect with other players in "Shan Hai Lu", he suppressed his social desire and focused all his energy on cultivating relationships with his partners.

Grandpa Xiaoqin was about to say yes, but then he remembered that his granddaughter Xiaoqin was still watching the live broadcast. He glanced at the void and said vaguely, "If there is a chance."

[Pfft, I can see he feels guilty.]

[Granddaughter, just let grandpa play it, hahaha. It’s not easy for grandpa to find a game he likes. Just wait for the public beta with everyone, haha]

[Xiaoqin: Who are you taking advantage of?]

Let him play, let him play!

[By the way, does Grandpa Fish have a livestream? I'd love to see Grandpa Fish's livestream. I could open two screens to watch Grandpa Fish's livestream and Little White Cabbage's livestream at the same time.]

[+1, I kind of want to, too]

Grandpa Xiaoqin didn’t know about the discussion in the live broadcast room. Xiaobaicai looked at the time and prepared to go back to continue working.

But just as he said goodbye, the big yellow dog in Xiaoqin's grandfather's village, which was also lying lazily, suddenly pricked up its ears and stood up. After a while, it suddenly made a few "woof woof woof" sounds, then spread its legs and ran towards the entrance of the village.

"What happened to Dahuang?" Xiaoqin's grandfather asked in confusion.

——Dahuang is the initial default name of this big yellow dog.

"A traveler is coming." The land god also looked a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that a traveler would come so soon.

Xiao Baicai, who had originally planned to leave, pricked up his ears and stayed shamelessly out of strong curiosity.

…

They followed the direction the big yellow dog ran and soon reached the end of the road.

At the end of the road, there is a barrier formed by a mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a deep cave. When Xiao Baicai and Xiao Qin's grandfather arrived here, they saw a little girl walking out of the cave entrance, holding the stone wall and holding up her skirt. When she saw the big yellow dog squatting at the cave entrance, her expression tightened.

The little girl looked about ten years old, very cute, but her behavior was like that of a little adult. Her clothes were more complicated than those commonly seen in "Record of Mountains and Seas". Her eyes were clear and calm. She took a step back, away from the big yellow dog, and spoke politely:

"Do you know where this place is?"

The usage of language is still similar to that in "Shan Hai Lu", and when players hear it, it will be automatically translated into meaning that they can understand.

"This is Peach Blossom Spring, little girl, don't you know how you got here?" When Xiaoqin's grandfather saw that the traveler was a little girl younger than his granddaughter, he subconsciously showed a friendly smile used to coax children, squatted down and looked the little girl in the eye.

"Peach Blossom Spring?" the little girl pondered, then shook her head seriously. "I've never heard of it. Mi and my mother went on a trip and ended up here in the blink of an eye. Could this be where the immortals live?"

"Little A'mi, you're not wrong to understand it that way." At this moment, the land god floated over from behind. "You are destined to be here in Peach Blossom Spring, so you came here. Time in Peach Blossom Spring is different from the outside world. You don't have to worry. You can leave whenever you want."

The little girl called Xiao A-mi looked at the ground, her eyes widened in surprise, and she muttered to herself, "Isn't this a magic trick...?"

When the little girl opened her eyes wide, she looked like a frightened little animal, lacking some of the composure of a little adult, and her round eyes looked extremely cute.

The audience in the live broadcast room quietly expressed their feelings in the barrage.

[What a cute little traveler girl, and she looks so smart]

[This outfit is so pretty and cute, can you please show it in the real costume? ]

After realizing this was a secluded place, the little girl, despite her initial surprise, quickly calmed down. She bowed slightly to Grandpa Xiaoqin, who squatted down to look her in the eye, and introduced herself softly, "Mi, daughter of Zhen Yi, the magistrate of Shangcai."

As the little girl introduced herself, a system font that only players could see appeared above her head.

——Zhen Mi.

Then there is a small bracket below that says '10 years old'.

"Ah, then I am... [Soul of the Dark Knight]..." At this time, Xiaoqin's grandfather had to report his game ID and spoke with difficulty.

…When Xiaobaicai called him that name, Grandpa Xiaoqin didn't actually feel ashamed. When his granddaughter found out, well… he felt a little embarrassed. But when he mentioned the name to this traveler girl, who was even younger than his granddaughter, Grandpa Xiaoqin felt a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

It all comes down to a question of different painting styles.

"Hello, little girl. My name is Xiaobaicai." Xiaobaicai, who had learned a lesson about names in "Records of Mountains and Seas" early on, naturally gave her own name after changing her name in "Peach Blossom Spring".

——Although this is not a particularly serious name, it is at least better than The Soul of the Dark Knight, hahaha... cough.

[No, you are called the cabbage in the gap between green and yellow! ]

[Little sister, don't listen to him, he's just a little cabbage in the gap between the old and the new]

I'm so mean! I'm really looking forward to seeing this little sister solemnly calling out "Grandpa the Dark Knight's Soul" and "Brother Little Cabbage in the Green and Yellow Period" hahahahaha.

[Little Sister Zhen Mi: The people here are so weird]

Just as the traveler Xiao Zhen Mi heard the names of the two people and looked at them curiously, a hearty voice suddenly came from the tree next to her.

"I was wondering why this place was so strange. Turns out it's where the old and young immortals live!"

The three people present were startled and subconsciously looked up towards the direction where the sound came from.

The dense branches of the tree next to the cave were brushed aside, and a figure jumped down from the tree and landed steadily.

——She is also a girl, but she looks one or two years older than Zhen Mi, but her style is completely different.

The girl who jumped down from the tree was not dressed so exquisitely. Her clothes were simple and neat, and her hair was tied up with some grass leaves on it, making her look like she had just rolled on the grass.

But her face and temperament are graceful and full of vitality, and she also has a cheerful and heroic air.

"Are they travelers too?" Xiao Baicai looked at the two young girls and thought, why did two travelers come as soon as the house was built? Could it be that Grandpa Yu is a super lucky guy?

"I don't know what you mean by a traveler, but I, like this little sister A'mi, also came here suddenly." She pointed at Zhen Mi and made a small gesture with her hand, "But I came a little earlier than her. When I saw a dog running over, I hid in a tree."

"So that's how it is." Grandpa Xiaoqin nodded with a smile, "What's your name, little girl?"

"Me? My name is Mu Guiying, the Mu from Mu Ke Village!" The heroic young girl who called herself Mu Guiying answered with full energy. After that, she rubbed her stomach without any hesitation. "I was tired from fighting and wanted to go eat. Old and young immortals with strange names, do you have anything to eat here?"

When Zhen Mi heard Mu Guiying's careless words, she couldn't help but glance at her sideways, feeling a little disapproval in her heart.

But her upbringing and personality meant she wouldn't point fingers at strangers even if she disagreed in her heart. She only took a quick glance and then turned her gaze away, staring at the dark cave entrance for a few seconds before deciding to trust the land god's words and saying to Grandpa Xiaoqin, "Excuse me for bothering you."

For some reason, even though there were two people standing there, she could somehow feel that the old man was the owner of this secluded place.

…

"Food..." After bringing the two traveling girls back to the village, Grandpa Xiaoqin looked around the thatched hut and began to worry.

Grandpa Xiaoqin, who was busy farming, fishing and building houses, had never tried the cooking system. When he was asked to think of something to feed the little girl, he really couldn't think of anything.

"Eggs, eggs." Little Cabbage, who was in a difficult situation, heard Xiaoqin's grandfather's worry and reminded him, "This can be made into food. There's a recipe."

As he said this, he pointed to the hen's nest. Grandpa Xiaoqin followed his instructions and took the hen away from the nest. Xiaobaicai reached out and took out two eggs from the nest.

"Is this enough?" Xiaoqin's grandfather was a little unsure.

"Sure!" Xiao Baicai nodded affirmatively, "Trust me, I made it this morning and ate it. It's delicious!"

"The gods don't have an easy life either. They can't even get a bite of meat." Mu Guiying watched the two 'gods' holding an egg and muttering to each other. She felt that they were a little different from the gods she had imagined. She leaned forward and asked, "Old God and Little God, how about I go to the mountains and hunt some rabbits and pheasants? Can you gods eat meat?"

“…”

"rabbit?"

"Pheasant?"

The two of them repeated it like a tape recorder.

The land couldn't bear to watch it any longer and reminded him, "Village Chief, the fish caught during the fishing activity can be used as food. There are several fish dishes in the primary menu."

"Then can the mushrooms I picked today be used as well? I remember the land said they are a good food!" When the cabbage, which was in a period of transition, heard this, it was reminded and its eyes lit up.

"..." Xiaoqin's grandfather's land gently stopped him, "Let's not use mushrooms for now. The two village chiefs' cooking skills are not very high yet, and I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

If players want to eat mushrooms, it’s okay for them to gather around a table and eat them casually. At most, the whole village will have a feast, and then the players can take a resurrection pill and eat their own feast together, but travelers cannot be resurrected.

"...Okay." Xiaobaicai gave up his beloved mushrooms dejectedly.

Next, little Zhen Mi and Mu Guiying witnessed with their own eyes the "god" processing the fish with one click, and then adding seasonings in a hurry. When it was about to overturn, the chef suddenly possessed him and flipped the pan in a showy manner, making it impossible to tell whether they really couldn't cook or were just pretending not to know how to cook.

In short, in the end, when Xiaoqin's grandfather opened the lid of the pot, the golden light effects coming out of the pot were really convincing.

Mu Guiying exclaimed "Wow!" and then clapped her hands, showing her great support.

Zhen Mi pursed her lips and relaxed a little.

Two young traveling girls, one active and one quiet, sat in a row beside the table. Grandpa Xiaoqin brought the braised fish, steamed fish and steamed eggs made according to the recipe to the table. He saw the two girls pick up the chopsticks and tasted them one after another. One of them praised loudly, and the more reserved one's eyes also lit up, and her heart was suddenly filled with a great sense of accomplishment.

This kind of sense of accomplishment was rare, more gentle and lasting than the one he felt when he won the Star Soul Championship in his youth. Seeing positive feedback for something he'd created was like soaking in warm water; it was incredibly comfortable.

Grandpa Xiaoqin also became kind to the larger cabbage, inviting him to sit down and taste it together, and then he took a bite himself.

——Then I was immediately surprised by the smell.

What, what is this smell...?

How is this done?

…

[It seems like everyone I've seen eating something made with this [cooking system] has a similar expression, which makes me curious.]

[Yes, Xiaobaicai had this expression when he ate [Watermelon] and [Seafood] during the solo internal test.]

[Damn it, my intuition tells me this must be something good, hurry up and launch the public beta so I can try it!]

[I understand, this is all CH's evil scheme. If you think about it, you will lose. Don't think about it.]

"Speaking of which, the personalities of these two young travelers are quite interesting. Mu Guiying seems to be the kind who speaks her mind, very straightforward, so she seems very supportive. Zhen Mi, on the other hand, seems very smart and elegant. My sister, at her age, was just silly and mischievous... Is this the difference between human cubs?"

[Comparing with real people is fine, but you actually have to compare with game characters? Your sister is too difficult, hahahaha]

[Grandpa Fish, please let the two little traveler sisters stay! I want to raise my sisters! ]

While eating, Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, took a few moments to glance at the barrage, then looked at Xiaoqin's grandfather and two little sisters, but in the end he said nothing.

After tasting a little bit of each dish, Xiao Baicai said goodbye and went back.

After returning, he immediately picked up a hoe to reclaim the wasteland, striving to complete the achievement within today, build the first villager's house, and unlock the traveler gameplay.

As for Xiaoqin, after seeing Xiaobaicai return to her paradise, she thought about it and searched for keywords in the live broadcast system to see if her grandfather had opened a live broadcast room.

After she tried random keywords like [grandfather], [old grandfather], and [farming], the live broadcast rooms that came up had nothing to do with her grandfather.

She thought about it, tried her grandfather's game ID [Dark Knight Soul], and searched.

…and she actually found it!

The cover of the live broadcast room and other things were still the system default. Xiaoqin clicked in and saw that her grandfather was taking two young traveling girls to clean up the newly built thatched hut as a place for them to sleep at night. He had a happy smile on his face the whole time.

She watched for a while, and then without hesitation sent the link to the live broadcast room to the family chat channel, calling her father, mother, and grandmother to come and watch.

Then Youyou sent out the first barrage in Grandpa's live broadcast room.

[Grandpa, do you think grandma knows that your name is the Soul of the Dark Knight? ]

Xiaoqin's grandfather saw this single comment and instinctively replied, "Of course I know. Your grandmother fell in love with me at first sight during the Star Soul competition finals!"

Xiaoqin, who originally wanted to scare her grandfather, was stunned when she heard the words. She couldn't even finish typing the words [Unless you let me play, I can still do it... Otherwise... hehe] that she wanted to type. After she came to her senses, she angrily deleted the line of words.

Damn it, I was caught off guard and shown off!

The author has something to say:

Note: From Lu Xun

Grandpa Fish is the kind of setting that attracts young ones. Generally, most of the travelers who appear in his house start from the childhood, such as the young Zhuge Liang, the young Huo Qubing, etc., which belongs to the raising cub flow

Xiaobaicai is the type that attracts literati, the kind that can happily go to the sea and pick mushrooms with Su Dongpo and others.

I originally wanted to use Xun Guan as the second traveler, but the silly and naive Mu Guiying seemed more suitable, so I chose her. Also, Xun Guan was born after the Three Kingdoms period, so I don't want to spoil the ending of Zhen Mi. :D

Mu Guiying did not really exist in history
