The props worth more than 2,000 diamond coins allowed Zhu Moling to get a lot of good things.
Although he didn't know the magical spring water and how to use the various tools, he knew that the clothes looked so gorgeous that they were meant to be worn.
After changing himself into a pure black ancient costume named "Ye Hua", Zhu Moling turned around and left in front of those warrior players.
Not far away, you can still hear their quiet discussions.
"Fuck! Another Star Warrior! I've only been in the game for a few minutes, and I don't know how many Star Warriors I've spent. The clothes he's wearing must be good stuff that can only be opened in the 'Clothing Surprise Box', right?"
"This dress is so cool... If I had money, I would also like to buy one! Unfortunately, I want to spend every penny wisely, so I don't want to waste it. Sigh..."
"Oh, it's really a drought, it's a flood! I won't say any more, let's go do the mission, and then we brothers will find a suitable place to live together!"
"Okay, okay, go, go!"
Zhu Moling did not move away from the crowd, but changed the place and the object to continue observing their actions. At the same time, he also devoted some of his attention to recalling the content of the conversation between the previous few people.
According to that brief conversation, he realized that this game seemed to be very different from the combat games he thought it was, and that it had a great therapeutic effect on "genetic collapse syndrome". Everything in the game was in great contradiction with his understanding of holographic games, but it didn't make people feel disgusted.
They talked about the game quota, plus the "birth point" mentioned by the player who bumped into him before, and the number of people in the game that can be increased at any time, Zhu Moling guessed that the game quota should have just been distributed not long ago at this point in time, which involves the upgrade of the "holographic game builder" and the funding issues of the game makers themselves.
The most likely result of connecting all these clues together is that today should be the beginning of the month, most likely the 1st, and the accident happened during the day on February 25th, which does not seem to be too long ago.
Zhu Moling thought silently for a while, then suddenly frowned. Why would he spend time thinking about such a stupid question? He was already connected to the Star Network to play the game, couldn't he just check the time in the game?
In order to prevent players from becoming overly addicted to holographic games, the Empire's regulations have all made it mandatory for game designers to display real time in the game. Even if there is another set of time in the game, both must be displayed together.
He must be really confused to seriously guess what day it is today.
After confirming that the result was the same as he expected, Zhu Moling quickly closed the time panel and pretended nothing had happened.
As for quitting the game to contact his two subordinates, he had no plans to do so for the time being. He didn't even enter the game of his own free will, what if he could never log in again after quitting? He hadn't had enough of this game yet, so he wouldn't leave so easily.
Zhu Moling finally started playing the game seriously.
He saw many players walking towards the same kind-looking NPC old man, receiving tasks from him, and happily running to the open space nearby to cut grass. He also followed suit and received the "weeding" task.
But when he was about to start the task, he ran into trouble again. Every time he saw a bunch of weeds and tried to pull them out with his bare hands, the system would prompt "This weed has been locked, please find another target", and this prompt happened several times in a row, which made Zhu Moling confused and wondered if there was a bug in the game.
Until a hesitant male voice sounded behind him: "Hey, brother, what are you doing? Are you going to help me weed or something? If you want to complete the mission, you have to find an empty piece of land. This piece of land has been selected by me, and you can't move."
Oh my god, why is there a concept called “occupying territory” in this game?
Zhu Moling was confused by what he said, but he followed the player's meaning and explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you just now. You are busy, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he quickly left and went in a direction where there were fewer people.
The player who was talking to him looked down at his tall and mighty body and the strong muscles in his hands and feet. He was such a big man, but there was still a day when he was ignored. That brother must be sleepwalking!
After this incident, Zhu Moling observed the behavior of other players more carefully and found that after finishing the weeding, they went to the village chief to get a new task, and then returned to the open space where the weeds had been cleared, took out the prepared small houses, and placed them in the appropriate location.
It turns out that the purpose of weeding before was to clear a piece of space for settling down. No wonder others couldn't move once the space was occupied.
There are four types of small houses. In addition to the small thatched house given in the gift package, some people also bought small wooden houses, bamboo houses or tile houses in the game store. These are not expensive. Zhu Moling looked at them and quietly bought the bamboo house with elegant colors according to his own preferences.
It is worth mentioning that the players did not weed with bare hands as Zhu Moling had imagined, but used hoes or sickles to cut off the lush weeds growing outside the soil. As for the roots buried deep in the soil, they chose to turn a blind eye.
Zhu Moling quickly followed suit and spent a lot of effort to build his own house on a vacant lot by the stream.
Afterwards, he saw the players take out the strange 3X3 piece of land from their backpacks, choose a suitable location and place it, holding a hoe in one hand and a few small seeds in the other, and then they started digging holes and planting.
Zhu Moling: “???”
What kind of game is this? There is no need to fight monsters or cause trouble, and even houses are provided. Could it be that they want players to live directly in it?
As a rookie who knows nothing about this game and doesn't even know the name of the game, Zhu Moling just feels that he is out of tune with others. He is like an idle bystander, watching these people doing everything enthusiastically.
Although... this scene is indeed lively and it is easy to relax while working, Zhu Moling still can't help but wonder, what is the point of doing this?
Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?
I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. What else can I do? Just follow along. Who said this game is "supposedly" good for healing?
Just like that, one day the chief of the fox clan turned himself into a smart student, followed the other players, and completed the fourth step of the novice mission in one go.
That is the harvest.
Zhu Moling was holding a small bag of wheat in his hand. His free hand seemed to be attracted by something and his fingers were buried in the wheat grains. The pink granules stayed on his skin, causing goose bumps. However, he was reluctant to take his hand away. Instead, he grasped it several times with interest and found it more interesting.
After playing for a while, Zhu Moling was attracted by the aroma of wheat grains. He sniffed several times before muttering to himself, "Hmph... This game has a very realistic smell. Real crops in reality don't have this smell. I don't know how the game maker came up with this idea."
In short, it smells good.
Not only him, Zhu Moling looked to his left and right and saw new neighbors moving in on both sides of the house. Their progress was similar to his. At this time, they were also holding a bag of wheat in their hands, sniffing it with a look of emotion on their faces.
What's worse, some of them were already crying exaggeratedly, and while crying they said things like "The live broadcast never deceived me" and "'Your Ran Tian Ju' will always be the best".
Zhu Moling listened and guessed that "Living in the Fields" should be the name of this game. It really fits the situation very well.
He had been busy since he entered the game. Now that the crops he had planted had been harvested, he decided to sit down and rest for a while.
I opened the game store again and picked out the most expensive "golden nanmu armchair" from the furniture column. After sitting down, I felt a little tired and hungry. I glanced at my satiety and energy levels which had dropped a lot, and hummed softly to indicate that this game was quite fancy, but my body honestly continued to search in the game store.
At this time, the neighbor next door yelled, "I'm so hungry, I have to buy a 'vegetable basket' to replenish my body." Zhu Moling also happened to see the item called "vegetable basket" and saw the daily purchase limit of "10". He bought 10 without hesitation.
Anyway, he has money and is not afraid to spend it.
Up to now, Zhu Moling has tried his best to maintain a calm appearance, but this calmness was shattered in a minute after he lifted the cover on the "vegetable basket".
In the basket was a small cup in a white porcelain jar. Even with the lid on, the aroma of the contents still wafted out. The rich, soul-penetrating aroma was like a large net that enveloped Zhu Moling unexpectedly. Zhu Moling's body paused for a moment, and then he was completely intoxicated by it.
It was not until the fragrance began to spread a little that he opened his eyes and found that his neighbors on both sides were leaning over to look at him with greedy faces. Only then did he return his gaze to the basket on his knees.
At the same time, he pulled the basket closer to his arms.
When he opened the lid, an even stronger aroma burst out, and at the same time, he also saw the introduction of this dish.
【Buddha Jumps Over the Wall: A representative dish of Fujian cuisine from the eight major cuisines of the Flowering Country during the ancient Blue Star period. "When the pot is opened, the aroma of meat spreads to the neighbors, and the Buddha jumps over the wall when he hears it." It has a soft and tender texture, rich meat aroma, meaty but not greasy, and tastes delicious. (Note) (You'll earn money if you open it, so please be sure to eat it all~)]
Zhu Moling knew the dish "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall". After all, the base camp of their Sky Fox clan was on the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Star". However, this was the first time he had seen the real thing since he was born.
It was not the kind of bland, expensive dish in reality that had nothing to offer except for its appearance, but a finished dish with a real soul and color, aroma, and taste. Zhu Moling thought that even if this dish tasted completely different from the ancient Blue Star era and was just made up by the game maker, he would accept it. It was so fragrant that he couldn't wait to taste it.
Thinking this, he picked up the spoon that came with it, scooped a spoonful of soup from the small cup, blew away the hot steam on it, and gently put it into his mouth.
At that moment, it was a feast for the taste buds on the tip of the tongue. The rich soup, carrying the essence of the food, slowly flowed down his throat. Zhu Moling was reluctant to swallow them, but his body seemed to have its own ideas and couldn't wait to suck them up.
The next scene was a memory that Zhu Moling, who had become an old player more than a month later, still could not face. He seemed to have not eaten for thirty years. When he took the first sip of soup, his eyes suddenly burst into amazing brightness. Then he tightly grasped the spoon and buried his head in eating spoonful after spoonful. He didn't care about the hot soup and forgot about the existence of other players around him. He devoured it like a whirlwind. It took him less than five minutes to finish the whole bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall without leaving even a drop of soup.
When he raised his head with satisfaction, he was met with the eyes of his two neighbors who looked ashamed of themselves. It seemed as if they were saying: "Little brother, you are really good. I won't watch food broadcasts without you in the future."
Zhu Moling: “…………”
He put the empty basket of vegetables into his backpack and slowly covered his face.
It was only at this time that he suddenly realized that the face-changing before entering the game was not to make it easier for players to cause trouble, but to prevent players from being seen by their close relatives in real life while eating and drinking in the game, and thus losing face!
