For those interstellar people who like to stay up late, this night is a night worth recalling often.
That night, they deeply understood the truth that "human joys are not shared". Some were sent back home as soon as they went out to sea, while others made a fortune, which attracted the envy and jealousy of too many people.
That night, they learned that the treasure on the Treasure Island belonged to every participant, that the underwater world was extremely wonderful, that the "treasure" in the treasure map was not "treasure" in the conventional sense, and that large scallops could actually produce large pearls, with no limit to the quantity.
As teams of players who went out to sea on small rafts returned one after another, the teams that lost their means of transportation chose to jump into the sea and go home directly. The discussion about them in the forum gradually became quieter, and the posts were slowly suppressed by new topic posts.
Soon, an eye-catching headline caught the attention of the sleepy netizens.
"Novice Village No. 288, player ID: missie, this guy said he would never choose to jump into the sea and die. Come and see how long he can hold on!"
Missie is an old player who has been playing the game for more than a month. She is also one of the anchors of Novice Village No. 288.
The content of his live broadcast is quite special. It is titled "How boring can I be?" He has done some incredible things, such as putting together several sacks of wheat grains to make a crying cat head, disguising himself as a scarecrow to scare away birds that came to eat, and spending a whole day sitting at a fishing spot just to count how many fish players could catch in total.
It can be said that he has done as many boring things as he has been live streaming for several days, and none of these things are repeated. The audience in the live streaming room said that although these things are really boring to think back on calmly, they are inexplicably addicted to them, and they feel uncomfortable if they don’t watch them for a day, but feel at ease (uncomfortable) (uncomfortable) for a day if they watch them.
Missie certainly did not miss this spontaneous activity of making a small raft for everyone, but he did not choose to team up with other players. Instead, he made a small raft that could only seat one person and had very little space for movement and set off.
How should I put it? His journey was smooth sailing, without any disturbances. He had no chance to see pirates or islands. He did not cast a net to catch fish. He spent most of the live broadcast lying on his back on a small raft, drifting wherever the wind blew. He had no destination and no idea where the end would be.
The audience couldn't stand it after watching for a while, and said in the barrage, "Brother, find something to do, like singing a song for everyone, otherwise people will think they are watching a hypnosis live broadcast."
But Missie refused the audience's suggestion firmly, saying that this was just a boring trip, and as long as the raft didn't fall apart, he could lie there forever. After that, he took out some biscuits and ate several of them, then gulped down half a bottle of water, lay down again, and took out a fisherman's hat from his backpack and covered his face.
The audience looked at the small raft that was tightly tied to the tree trunk with various vines, and had an additional circle of straw on the four sides to increase buoyancy. The thickness was twice that of the raft made by other players, and they left a string of ellipsis marks on the barrage in silence.
They would continue to watch, but they couldn’t be the only ones to suffer such boring attacks, so the post on the forum was born.
When Bai Li woke up early that morning, there were already tens of millions of people in Missie's live broadcast room watching him drifting on the "boat". They were very shocked: he had not capsized yet, breaking the record!
Bai Li nestled in Wen Xingyao's arms, squinting his eyes and lazily glanced at the game forum for a few times, repeating what he saw to Wen Xingyao. He stayed in bed for a while before slowly crawling out of bed, getting dressed and preparing to wash up and go out.
It is now more than half an hour later than his usual breakfast time, and he is much hungrier than he was at this time yesterday. If he doesn't replenish his energy, his waist, legs, hands and whole body will become weak.
Thinking of the instigator, he turned around and rolled his eyes in an unseemly way, and said angrily: "Why are you still lying in bed? It's getting late, get up quickly."
Wen Xingyao was more relaxed than Bai Li thought. When he spoke, it seemed as if the surroundings were filled with the faint scent of green tea. "No hurry, I'll get up later. I'm afraid if we get up now and run into Big Brother after we go out, he'll be angry again. You know, he doesn't seem to have accepted our relationship yet."
Following Wen Xingyao's words, Bai Li also thought of the scene yesterday morning. He didn't feel that embarrassed, he was just letting his nature loose.
So she comforted Wen Xingyao: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if my brother doesn't accept it for the time being, I just admit it. If you are really embarrassed, just lie down for a while, I will protect you!"
Wen Xingyao: “…”
Although he was very happy that Bai Li defended him, he felt strange when he heard these words. Didn't he feel that Bai Li was so weak?
However, to the surprise of the two, after a night, Zhu Moling seemed to have figured it out. Seeing the two coming out of a room talking and laughing, he just rolled his eyes and didn't say anything strange to Wen Xingyao anymore.
Bai Li was happy and free, without having to be caught in the middle and "please" both sides.
After dinner, I logged on and found that the village was much quieter than usual. The players in the village either went out to sea all night and went offline to rest, or were still busy at the beach, building rafts, collecting seafood, and even moving the night market at the entrance of the village to the beach, creating a seafood food stall...
Of course, all of this content was relayed to him by Mo Song and Song Xinran through the friend system. The beach was too far away, and Bai Li didn't want to go there again.
He made an appointment with Wen Xingyao to go find the village chief together and check the progress bar of their village's "village upgrade" task.
The two released all their pets, including a giant panda, a white fox, a golden koi, a little lion and a macaw. The family of seven blocked the road tightly, greatly increasing the rate of people turning back to look at them.
Soon, the two arrived at the door of the village chief's house. The old village chief was still sitting on a bamboo chair as before, facing every villager who came to see him kindly.
Bai Li went up to him and talked to him, asking about the "village upgrade".
Village upgrade is a gameplay that will only be unlocked after the player’s village reaches a certain level of “prosperity”.
Regarding this prosperity, it involves many aspects such as the upgrade of the player's personal house, the friendship between NPC and the player, the planting and cultivation of farmland, fruit trees and livestock, and the circulation of currency.
The initial prosperity of a village is 5000, which means 5000 players live in the village. When the prosperity reaches 100000 (one hundred thousand), the first village upgrade will start.
As the first village chief of "Your Ran Tian Ju", it has existed for more than three months since its establishment, and the prosperity level of just 100,000 has already been achieved.
The way to upgrade the village is actually similar to the original "Village Chief's Residence" mission, which requires submitting a large amount of materials. However, this time, Bai Li did not specifically stipulate the type and quantity of materials, and it was entirely up to the players to submit them voluntarily.
During the process of submitting materials, an upgrade progress bar will appear. When the progress bar is full, it means that the village has met the upgrade conditions, but whether to start the upgrade is up to the players themselves.
If players feel that the materials they submitted are far from enough, they can continue to submit them to the village chief until they have accumulated a number that they are satisfied with, and then start upgrading.
Of course, it is possible to start upgrading immediately once the progress bar is full, but the results of the upgraded village will definitely not be as good as those of a village that has submitted more materials.
However, in order to prevent players from being desperate and refusing to upgrade, Bai Li still set a limit. When the progress bar reaches 3000%, which is 30 times the total number of required materials, the level will have to be upgraded.
As invisible "top cancer", who doesn't want their village to be the coolest? Therefore, even if the upgrade progress bar was full on the day the game upgrade was completed, no one said "let's upgrade now". Instead, everyone worked hard and submitted all the extra materials they could.
The purpose is to make their "Mushroom Village" the largest village in "Your Farm Life", and the largest town and city in the future.
Knowing this, Bai Li was not in a hurry. Together with Wen Xingyao, he came to the old village chief today to submit the materials.
When designing this gameplay, Bai Li also made corresponding changes to the NPC "Old Village Chief". After the game upgrade, each village chief will have a huge warehouse with unlimited capacity, which is specially used to store various materials submitted by players.
At the same time, the latest 100 material submission records are available for query.
Every player can check this warehouse at the old village chief's place, but they can only look at it but not touch it. At most, they can take a screenshot and post it on the forum to show off.
The content is similar to the following:
"It's so annoying! I submitted 500 pieces of wood and 500 pieces of stone, but nothing happened. Let me show you the hard-working guy in our village. He submitted ten of me!"
"Hey, our village's material collection progress bar has reached 500%. Friends from other villages may work harder than us, so we can't relax and must continue to work hard to submit materials~"
"In the past month, I was addicted to mining and collected a lot of gems that I couldn't sell. In this 'Village Upgrade' task, I simply handed them all in. They are not worth much anyway, so I'll just consider it as my contribution to the village!"
"You guys in front of you are just ordinary people, why don't you learn from our village and do things honestly and diligently? All 5,000 people in the village work together and gather their strength? [Screenshot when the progress bar reaches 1200%]
“…”
As a villager who came to the old village chief to submit materials for the first time, Bai Li inevitably wanted to copy the answers from his "predecessors", so he opened the village chief's material warehouse without any preparation.
During this process, he did not interrupt his communication with Wen Xingyao, so Wen Xingyao followed him and opened the same warehouse.
Then, facing the dazzling and densely packed materials in the warehouse, the two of them held their breath, their eyes were dazzled, and they were speechless for a long time.
Bai Li: "..." There are so many different materials in this game? How come I, the game maker, don't know this!
Wen Xingyao: “…” We only brought the usual ores, wood, and soil, and we somehow felt defeated!
