Chapter 32 Killing Pigs

It was the first time that Lani enjoyed such treatment as the center of attention.

He is just an ordinary person in real life, and being able to win the internal beta test qualification of "Ten Continents" is already a highlight in his life, although he didn't know that Fang Xianyu was behind the scenes and selected him based on the length and style of the game.

As a child who grew up in the countryside, Lani also helped her fellow villagers build houses in the countryside. Their village was not the kind of village with villas everywhere like in economically developed areas. Instead, it was a backward, poor and rustic village. Most of the villagers were related to each other. If someone's family built a house, the villagers who were able to do so would go and help during the slack season.

Lani had done the same thing before, not to mention that her father was a famous contractor in the town. After graduating from high school and not going to college due to an accident, he was thrown by his father to work at a construction site moving bricks, under the pretext of experiencing the hardship of physical labor... The old man had completely forgotten that his son had also been doing farm work since he was a child.

In short, under many objective factors, the house built by Lani in "Ten Continents" is indeed very nice and it is no surprise that it has attracted many players.

But this situation only lasted for a day or two.

Because the next morning, two new players who had reached level 10 less than a day ago brought a large group of indigenous NPCs from Taiping Town, and they were pulling several ox carts of stuff, which made everyone very curious.

Soon, after asking around, the players understood the situation.

It turned out that this group of people were villagers from Taiping Town, who were hired from the town by two "immortals" (players) for a large sum of money to help them build houses.

Besides basic building materials like wood, the ox carts also carried various paints, glazed tiles, Guangcheng jade and other materials! Wang Ergou used his amazing social skills to get the blueprints that the two players showed to the NPC!

The house on the blueprint is really beautiful, with a modern Chinese garden feel, and covers a large area, at least five acres! Roughly speaking, there are dozens of houses in the building complex!

It is said that those two players spent a huge amount of money to hire someone to design the blueprint in real life! The Jade Emperor was secretly amazed at such money and secretly asked Wang Ergou: "Brother Gou, how much did they spend on the NPC?"

“About this number!”

Wang Ergou made the number five with his hand.

The Jade Emperor's eyes widened: "Fifty taels!?"

Wang Ergou rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell are you dreaming about? Of course it's five hundred taels!"

The Jade Emperor was shocked and asked, "How did they come up with so much money?!"

Wang Ergou scratched his head, showing a hesitant expression, as if he didn’t quite understand: “They said they sold all their equipment to get the money…”

"Isn't this crazy?!" The Jade Emperor was even more shocked: "Without equipment, I can't even defeat monsters in the wild!"

This is true. This mountain forest is very rich in resources, and there are countless beasts in the mountains, such as the enhanced wild boar that accidentally broke into the player's settlement. They are everywhere, and they appear in groups. However, its real official name is "Zhongzhou Giant Pig", which translates to "big pig" and "Zhongzhou specialty" in human language.

This kind of pig has rough skin, thick meat, and fangs. It is extremely fast and powerful, and weighs over a thousand pounds. Even a Qi-refining monk cannot stand up to it!

If you encounter it without wearing any equipment, you are basically waiting to die!

“Who knows what they are thinking!”

Wang Ergou spread his hands, and then he said excitedly: "However, I asked around, although the price of what they build is outrageous, if you only build a house, it only costs five taels of silver including the labor and materials! Even if you build a courtyard house, it only costs a dozen taels!"

"Do, Do Young Master!?"

"Five taels! A pig's worth of money! You never imagined that!"

Wang Ergou rubbed his hands, so excited that he was even a little obscene.

In Taiyin Mountain, a wild boar can be sold for ten taels of silver if it is divided into pieces. The last one was carried by Zhao Qing to Taiping Town, and for convenience, it was sold to a butcher in the town at a low price. Even that one was sold by pound for nearly fifteen taels of silver! Just for the running fee, Lani gave Zhao Qing one tael!

The Jade Emperor suddenly jumped up, his eyes gleaming with greed: "What are you waiting for! Let's go, Brother Gou! Let's kill the pig!"

Wang Ergou was not blinded by the temptation of the pig. He stroked his chin and thought, "Wait, we still have to pull a group. That thing is a bit fierce, and it's easy for us to flip over if we are alone."

"Then I'll post a recruitment post!" The Jade Emperor was very active. He clicked on the recruitment panel and posted a recruitment post: [Group kill pigs to make money and build houses. Come quickly. 2nd to 3rd, split equally! ]

"Why are you in such a hurry? Ask Old Han and Second Senior Sister first!"

"It's okay. I'll hang him up first and ask Lao Han and the others before releasing him!"

…

In the end, Wang Ergou and the Jade Emperor still did not team up with Han Yi and Zhao Qing. The former was under pressure from reality and was practicing the basic gun skills in the Hundred Soldiers Training. The latter had just been captured by NPC Baili Shuang and given a 1-on-1 private lesson.

Fortunately, there was an acquaintance among the three people who joined the team, and that person was Jieran, who was jokingly known as the fastest man in the entire server.

Since this quiet player looked very reliable, Wang Ergou decisively took off his shoes and lent them to him.

Well...it can be considered as fulfilling the promise I made.

Soon, they found a group of wild boars not far from their birthplace.

This giant wild boar of Middle-Australia is a social animal, mostly living in groups, usually consisting of a boar and two to three sows and their piglets.

What Wang Ergou's team encountered was a standard herd of wild boars consisting of three adult wild boars and a dozen wild boar cubs.

In the team channel, Wang Ergou muttered: "These days are really unbalanced. Pigs have two wives, but I can't even find a girlfriend..."

A player said with a grin, "You mean you are worse than a pig?"

Wang Ergou chose to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of his own: "Why, you are stronger than a pig? You have a girlfriend?"

“It hurts…”

Several people were chatting, and they did not delay in carrying out the agreed tactical actions.

A player who practiced earth magic tried his best to build several earth walls around the wild boars. Wang Ergou, who had the best equipment, attracted hatred at the only reserved exit. Other players used their skills, spells and talismans prepared in advance to shoot crazily at the wild boars. Jie Ran, who ran the fastest, was responsible for driving away the little wild boars - don't think that the cubs will be let go, they are all worth a lot of money!

This was Plan 1, which failed after less than half a minute of implementation.

The main reason was that the wild boars showed their contempt for the earth wall that the players had worked so hard to build. Then, led by the boars, they rushed towards the earth wall one after another. The earth wall that looked very solid was easily smashed by the wild boars.

Wang Ergou's heart was also shattered.

“When individual power is strong enough, all fancy tricks are just paper tigers.”

In the team channel, Wang Ergou reflected on his tragic failure and said, "Humans have their limits. I have learned one thing from this short life: the more calculating a person is, the more likely he is to fall into unexpected situations, unless he is superior to humans..."

"Have you decided not to be a human being?"

"Ahem... I decided to use covering fire!"

"?"

"Our ancestors taught us a lesson a long time ago."

"?"

"If you are poor, you can use tactical penetration. If you are rich, you can use firepower coverage! How many 'watts' are left from the last time?"
