I Make Games in the Interstellar Era

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.

Chapter 53

"Sichuan... is it a place name?" Little White Cabbage, who was struggling with a lack of energy, felt that the two words sounded familiar. While pondering, he saw the hint on the barrage and suddenly remembered, "Oh, right! Isn't Dongpo from this place?"

In the story fragments of Su Shi before he was twenty-one years old that he had unlocked before, he saw the place where Su Shi lived in his youth, which is a place called Sichuan.

"Yes." The land nodded slightly.

[Yay!]

[I'm surprised you guys can actually remember these names. I can't even remember the names of these weird places [covering my face.jpg]]

【What is this? This is fate! 】

This [panda] looks rather cute. Is it because, compared to the Pandaman, it doesn't have the word "human" in its name, so its face looks like this?

[That makes sense, but I actually feel a little uncomfortable seeing this panda, hahaha. Why isn't it a panda man? I strongly request that a panda man be included as well. I also want to raise a panda man.]

[I am different. I want the Pandaren to raise me.]

【+1+1】

There were all kinds of comments in the barrage, but once Xiao Baicai, who was in a difficult situation, confirmed that the Sichuan traveler who was attracted by the [panda] also included Su Shi, his eyes suddenly became eager when he looked at the panda, and he felt that every part of it was cute.

But this doesn't seem to be an illusion.

"Hmm~" The panda cub held by Xiao Baicai opened his eyes hazily, whining and pulling at his clothes, his nose twitching and making tiny cries.

Xiao Baicai changed the way he held the panda without any instruction, but the cub continued to groan and scratch. He had no choice but to look at the ground for help, "What does this mean? Should I put it down?"

"Village Chief, please take a look at its status prompt."

Xiao Baicai expanded the Panda status bar as instructed, and then saw a hungry progress bar inside, which was almost halfway through.

In other words, the humming and wheezing actually means that you are hungry?

Xiao Baicai was quite curious and saw the food prompt in the status bar. He knew that the panda needed to eat Panpan Milk now and could eat bamboo later. However, since he didn't have the conditions to make Panpan Milk, he had to either spend money to buy food for it or complete the newly-appeared [Pet Raising Quest: Panda] and get the [Panpan Milk] as a quest reward.

Xiao Baicai didn't know where to put the panda, so she put it in a backpack first and carried the panda to do the pet-raising task. After obtaining the [Panpan of Milk] as the reward for the first round of the task, she immediately took the panda out of the backpack and let it eat.

As soon as the panda cub got the food, it stopped humming and buried its head in the small wooden basin of milk, drinking it with a slurp. Halfway through, it noticed that the keeper seemed to be about to move around, so it stopped drinking, stretched out its little paws to grab Xiao Baicai's pants, and looked at him with a pair of round, hazy eyes hidden in dark circles.

Seeing this adorable little look, Xiao Baicai immediately felt kindhearted. She half squatted down and lovingly rubbed the fur on the panda cub's back, "Drink slowly, drink slowly, don't be impatient."

The panda lowered its head and continued to drink milk from the bowl.

[Poof!]

[Xiao Baicai, why did you get into the role so quickly? Hahaha, you have the charm of the Grandpa Yu next door, hahaha]

[Oh huh! I've forgotten about the Pandaren now.]

[…This is getting interesting.]

Xiao Baicai watched the panda cubs drinking milk while looking at the rewards given in other parts of the pet-raising task. She calculated how many basins of milk she could get in total, how long it would last the pandas, and where to get more after they finished eating.

The big yellow dog and the tabby cat never gave him so much trouble. They were the type that could find food on their own. Most of the time, Xiao Baicai just had to remember to leave a fish or some other food for them.

However, the information says that pandas can eat bamboo in the future, but I don’t know how long it will take.

In short, after completing the pet-raising series of tasks and stocking up fifteen pots of milk for the panda in his backpack, Xiaobaicai carried the panda back to the village and started building the new building, the brewery, which was unlocked after the upgrade.

[Brewery: Add materials to produce fermented rice wine. Once completed, the probability of travelers who enjoy drinking wine will increase.]

After seeing this line of words, Xiao Baicai's confidence in Su Shi's appearance increased again.

He saw Dongpo often drinking when he was young, so he must have been attracted to him! Now that the buffs are doubled, he doesn't believe that Dongpo won't show up!

So Xiao Baicai waited patiently for the winery to be completed and prepared the ingredients that were missing last time.

Things like pork, beef, mutton, chicken, and duck meat, after the breeding system is unlocked, can be harvested every once in a while, and they are also available for purchase in stores. In short, Xiao Baicai has now stockpiled a lot of food in the warehouse, with more than 200 kilograms of pork, beef, and mutton alone, and some of them are exchanged with neighbors in Zuoyou Taohuayuan for other things he needs.

As for the crops in the fields, he had harvested a lot during the previous [Autumnal Equinox], and the crops he was planting now were new.

——When he was in "Records of Mountains and Seas", he felt that hoarding things was really a joy!

Even if you do nothing, simply watching the quantity increase can bring you an incomparable sense of happiness and satisfaction. And because the items in "Peach Blossom Spring" are stored in the warehouse, the increase can be seen and touched, so the joy of hoarding is more than doubled!

In a word, stock up, stock up everything.

After a few hours, the brewery was completed, and several kinds of primary wine were unlocked at the same time. The materials for those primary wines happened to be in Xiaobaicai's warehouse, so he put those materials into the brewery to try it out. There were rows of wine jars in the brewery, and each wine jar had a countdown that only players could see, indicating how long it would take to brew the wine.

The time in the game is much faster than that in the outside world. The changes of a year in "Taohuayuan" are shortened to 24 days, which corresponds to the "24 solar terms" in the game. However, it will not be too cold or too hot, and there are only slight changes in temperature to distinguish them.

For example, now, seven or eight days have passed since the [Autumnal Equinox] harvest, and the weather in the game has become colder, and it has even started snowing.

Like the rain scene, the snow scene has its own beauty. Many players naturally become lazy after the snow starts to fall. In addition, there are so many things stored in the warehouse that they are too lazy to do even the simplest daily tasks. They just move around in the village, visit the settled travelers, see if they need anything, and send things to each other.

It’s no wonder that most people can unlock several recipes this way.

Xiao Baicai was also nestling in the small house that had been upgraded to a wooden house, watching the three little creatures gathered around the stove. The big yellow dog was gnawing on a bone lazily, the panda was drinking milk from a basin, and the tabby cat was holding a fish in its mouth, trying to get close to the panda's basin of milk and take a lick from time to time.

It was during this relaxing and comfortable moment that the big yellow dog, whose special reaction always indicated the arrival of a traveler, suddenly pricked up its ears and stood up.

【! 】

【Finally? ?! Really? Really?】

【Catch up, catch up! 】

Needless to say, the little cabbage, which was in a period of transition, hurriedly followed the big yellow dog and ran out. After running a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, took a step back, put the stove into his backpack with one click, and then ran out again.

By the time Xiao Baicai chased the big yellow dog to the stream and the bridge, she could vaguely see people coming out of the cave through the snow.

The figure looked rather thin in the snow, and his clothes were all white, as if he was about to melt into the snow. Xiao Baicai's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively called out, "Dongpo?"

The traveler over there did not respond. When the wind and snow subsided and the figure came a little closer, Xiao Baicai discovered that the man who seemed to have a similar temperament to Su Shi from a distance was actually a middle-aged man with a long object hanging around his waist, which was marked by the system as "Sword".

"Dongpo? Who is Dongpo?" The man glanced at Xiao Baicai, raised a sachet in one hand and took a sip of something. After finishing the drink, he seemed a little unsteady. He held onto the pillar of the small bridge and said slowly, "I don't know him. I am Li Bai."

This was considered an introduction. Xiao Baicai watched as the question mark above the man's head turned into a name. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a familiar voice coming from the cave behind him, "Brother Baicai, I've come to see you with food!"

The one coming here is Su Shi.
