At half past eleven, the E-level holographic game builder was successfully upgraded to D-level. After Xiong Pili and the other two finished debugging and confirmed that there were no problems, they told Bai Li the news.
"Mr. Bai, the holographic game builder has been upgraded, and you can use it normally from now on." Xiong Pili said to Bai Li, "If you have any questions later, or want to continue upgrading, please contact us, and we will come to help you as soon as possible."
Compared to the first meeting last month, Xiong Pili and his friends were much more gentle this time. Bai Li took the paper bill from Xiong Pili and stared at his head thoughtfully.
Xiong Pili was very perceptive and noticed Bai Li's gaze at once. He remembered Bai Li's curiosity about his ears last time, so he was not angry. Instead, he explained cheerfully, "Mr. Bai, are you looking for my ears? Last time they were exposed because I couldn't retract them due to gene collapse syndrome. But recently, I don't know what happened. I can control them to retract. So I must retract them, so you can't see them today."
The teasing remark made Bai Li feel a little embarrassed. It was because his gaze was too obvious that people noticed it and had to explain it to him specially.
"I'm sorry." Bai Li apologized quietly, "I might be too curious. I hope you don't mind."
"Well, what's there to worry about? We've gotten used to it. Nowadays, who doesn't have gene collapse syndrome? Only a minority don't have this disease." Xiong Pili acted as if he didn't care, but he looked at Bai Li with some envy. "I heard that people with ancient blue star genes won't have this disease. Mr. Bai is from ancient blue star, so he doesn't have to suffer from this disease. Let's not talk about this. Actually... I want to thank Mr. Bai. The game "Your Farm" is so fun. I spend almost all my time in it except for working hours. Whether it's farming, or the scenery, atmosphere, and food are all excellent. Sometimes I even suspect that if I stay in the game all the time, my gene collapse syndrome will slowly start to get better, haha!"
Xiong Pili praised the game made by Bai Li and talked about it attentively, but he did not notice that his two friends' eyes became more and more deep, and their smiles became malicious.
I know you can enter the game, why are you showing off?
"No way, I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for you yesterday, today's equipment upgrade might not have been completed so early." Bai Li smiled awkwardly but politely, "I made such a big mistake, I hope Mr. Xiong won't blame me."
"Haha, no, no, I didn't think of it for a moment either, hahaha!" Xiong Pili scratched his head and laughed foolishly.
"Meow!" The Supreme walked to Bai Li's feet and rubbed his calves, looked in the direction of Xiong Pili, then turned back to look at Bai Li with an accusing look in his eyes.
How can this tall black bear demon be so talkative? When can these people leave?
Bai Li didn't understand the meaning of the Supreme's call, so he could only bend down and touch his head.
Because of Bai Li's actions, Xiong Pili also noticed the light orange cat that appeared on the floor. He recalled that when they came last month, Bai Li's family didn't seem to have seen this cat.
"Oh, Mr. Bai actually has a cat. It looks quite cute." After complimenting politely, Xiong Pili quickly looked away.
Naturally, I also missed the differences between the Supreme and ordinary animals.
How could an ordinary small animal have fire on the tip of its tail? The only one with this characteristic is an interstellar being who can transform into a beast.
After paying the balance, Bai Li took out the small gifts he had prepared long ago. Each person received a small bag containing two cucumbers, the same ones he and Song Xinran had eaten today. They were all grown by him and stored in the storage space.
Bai Li also thought about what to give as a gift. In the interstellar era, the taste of crops has been declining for unknown reasons, and the taste has become bland, infinitely close to the taste of boiled water. Cucumbers, as vegetables that are not strong in taste, have become a rare food that people occasionally mention. Although the cucumbers he gave as gifts tasted a little "primitive", they would not shock the people who ate them.
Besides, Bai Li didn't want people around him to scream and scream no matter what fresh vegetables and fruits he took out in the future. The most smooth and stable development would be to use this method of boiling a frog in warm water to let people around him slowly accept that he has a special supply channel for vegetables and fruits, and even that he can grow them himself in the future.
He just didn't believe that with his identity as the God of Agriculture, he wouldn't be able to grow normal vegetables, fruits and grains in this interstellar age!
"The bag contains cucumbers sent to me by my friend. They taste good. You can take some back to try." Bai Li temporarily used the all-purpose excuse of "I have a friend". Here we have to praise the Empire's protection of the privacy of all residents. The residents' private accounts, friendships, and even online shopping lists and logistics details of sent items are difficult to find through the Star Network unless the residents themselves are willing to disclose them. There are no more than a handful of people in the Empire who have this right.
Therefore, Bai Li was not worried that Xiong Pili and his companions would be able to find his "friend" without going through him.
Bai Li had not forgotten about the game quota. He looked at Mo Zhu and Ji Yingqi and asked, "By the way, I heard from Mr. Xiong that you also want to play games. I plan to keep five accounts for myself when I distribute the quotas this afternoon. How about giving them to you two?"
What's more, Xiong Pili helped him a lot yesterday.
Mo Zhu and Ji Yingqi were still recalling the appearance and taste of cucumbers, but when they heard the key words, their ears perked up. When they heard Bai Li ask if they should be given the prize, they both had the illusion that they were dreaming. Otherwise, how could they dream that the game spot they had been dreaming about day and night would fall from the sky?
It was Xiong Pili who reacted quickly. He slapped the two men twice on the back, successfully waking them up. They no longer cared about being reserved and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Mr. Bai!"
"Thank you, Mr. Bai. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to grab it. Hehe, we are so lucky!"
Who can resist the temptation of a spot in the game?
Okay, two more game spots have been given away.
"You're welcome." Bai Li smiled and reminded the three to quickly grab their bags before sending them out the door after they took the initiative to say goodbye.
After walking a distance out of the community gate, Mo Zhu still couldn't believe it. He lifted the bag up and asked Xiong Pili stupidly, "Old Xiong, are we really going to Mr. Bai's house to work? Why is it so strange? We are here to get food and quotas. When I think about it now, I always feel a little embarrassed."
He had privately told them that Mr. Bai was a "little fox eye". He had never expected that Mr. Bai would be so generous and give them two game spots without blinking an eye. Even if he was really a fox, he was a kind little fox, completely different from the arrogant and cunning Sky Fox Clan on Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Star...
Bah! Mr. Bai is definitely not a fox!
He is such a good man!
Xiong Pili was in contact with Bai Li the most frequently, and after what happened yesterday, he thought he knew him a little. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, since it was Mr. Bai who brought it up, it means he had already made the decision. Just take it. If you really feel bad about it, why don't we buy some thank-you gifts for Mr. Bai after get off work? Or we can go into the game and help Mr. Bai together."
At this point, Xiong Pili was quite proud: "Hehe, I also added Mr. Bai as my friend in the game. His house is not in the same place as ours. There is only a player named 'Yao Xing' next door, who is also his friend. I happened to pass by their door yesterday and found that Yao Xing had already reclaimed all the land in the yard. On the contrary, Mr. Bai actually left a lot of land uncultivated. When the time comes, we will go and help him reclaim the land and make it look good for him!"
Are you kidding? Mr. Bai is the creator of this game. How could he be outdone by other players?
Mo Zhu and Ji Yingqi nodded in agreement, but they also wanted to buy gifts after get off work.
As they were talking, Xiong Pili noticed that there was a green thing in Ji Yingqi's hand. He looked closely and found that there were short thorns on its skin. He couldn't react for a moment and was about to ask what it was when he saw Ji Yingqi open his mouth, put the thing in his mouth, and took a bite easily.
With a "click", a refreshing fragrance leaked out from the corner of his mouth, and Xiong Pili's eyes were suddenly glued to the broken end of the thing.
"Hmm? What smells so good?" Mo Zhu didn't notice it at first. He looked over following the smell and saw Ji Yingqi taking another big bite with great enjoyment. He immediately exclaimed, "Oh my god, this must be the cucumber Mr. Bai sent. How come you ate it so quickly, Old Ji?"
Ji Yingqi explained incoherently, "I couldn't help it... I was just going to take it out to take a look, but I got close to smell it, and somehow I took a bite. It was so delicious!"
“You guys should try it too. It’s refreshing and thirst-quenching, and works better than drinking any amount of water!” As he said this, he took a few more bites, and the sound of crunching could be heard incessantly.
Looking at Ji Yingqi's exaggerated and unrestrained eating style, Xiong Pili and Mo Zhu swallowed hard, and without hesitation, they took out a cucumber from their bags and started eating.
Soon, enthusiastic comments after the meal were heard from the three people in the self-driving vehicle.
"Wow, is this really a cucumber? I've never tasted anything like it before. Even the cucumber-flavored nutrient solution I bought at a high price is not as strong as the taste of this cucumber in my hand!"
"Indeed, the smell is so delicious. I didn't know until I compared it. Once I compared it, I was shocked. Could the vegetables and fruits we bought at high prices before be fake?"
Both Mo Zhu and Ji Yingqi began to doubt their previous understandings.
On the contrary, Xiong Pili, because he had eaten too many good things in the game, his concentration was greatly improved. Although he also felt that the taste of this cucumber was extraordinary, he still had the energy to remember what Bai Li had said to them before.
"Didn't Mr. Bai say that these cucumbers were sent to him by his friend? Since they were sent specially, these cucumbers must be different from the ordinary cucumbers on the market. We can all feel it after eating them. The taste is indeed much better. What does this mean? It means that Mr. Bai's friend is very powerful. Maybe he is a big shot who owns an agricultural planet, and he has also researched a way to improve the taste of crops..."
As he was talking, Xiong Pili shook his head in self-denial, muttering, "This possibility seems too low. Maybe only this batch of cucumbers have this taste... Well, forget it. Why should we think so much? It's enough to know that Mr. Bai has an amazing friend."
Mo Zhu and Ji Yingqi listened to Xiong Pili's analysis and nodded in agreement from time to time.
"Old Bear, are there cucumbers in the game? Do they taste like this?" Mo Zhu suddenly thought of something and asked.
Xiong Pili shook his head: "No, there are no cucumbers. If there were, how could I not know what it tastes like! It may also be that our character level is not high enough. When our level increases, more crop seeds will be unlocked in the village chief's store. Maybe there will be cucumber seeds by then."
"Oh, then I hope cucumber seeds will appear as soon as possible. When I reach that level, I must buy a bunch of cucumber seeds and plant them for several rounds. It will be a pleasure every time!" Mo Zhu couldn't help but fantasize.
If it was before going to Bai Li's house, he would not dare to say this, after all, the game quota was a matter of chance, if he didn't get it by then, no matter how much he thought about it, it would be useless. But now it's different, they don't have to fight with others, Mr. Bai took the initiative to give them the game quota, it shouldn't be too late to start dreaming from now on, right?
"Hahaha, you think like this now, but you will definitely forget about it once you enter the game!" Xiong Pili said with a tone of an experienced person, "There are many more delicious foods in the game than you can imagine. If you eat the same thing every day, I guarantee you won't have the same thing twice in a month."
But the prerequisite is that you have to have enough Euros, and there won't be too many repetitions in the dishes from the basket. Xiong Pili didn't say it that day, thinking that he couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the two before entering the game.
After hearing this, Mo Zhu and Ji Yingqi became even more excited about their future gaming life.
“Oh, right, I forgot to reply to my brother’s message!” Mo Zhu said as he searched through previous communication records and replied to his brother Mo Song’s concerns about him, “Hahahaha! Don’t worry, brother. I will definitely be able to enter the game. See you in the game then!!!”
Mo Zhu and Mo Song are brothers with an age difference of five years between them. They were on the Zerg battlefield at the same time. Later, they were discharged from the army due to genetic collapse syndrome. Now, one of the brothers has joined a company under the name of the Imperial Research Institute, and the other has become a game anchor.
Although the two brothers didn't see each other often over the years, they would always contact each other once or twice a month. Mo Zhu also knew that the "Crispy Noodles" in the forum was his own brother. He often envied him for being able to enter the game, and occasionally complained that he was really lucky at that time.
But today, as an older brother, he no longer has to envy his younger brother!
Mo Song quickly sent a question mark, "Wake up, brother, don't dream in broad daylight, concentrate and get ready to grab the number later!"
Mo Zhu was very proud of himself, but he pretended to be mysterious and decided not to say anything more to his brother before the number grabbing officially started.
Bai Li didn't know what kind of communication Xiong Pili and his friends had after they left his house, and he didn't know that the cucumbers he sent were eaten up by them on the way back. Before 12 o'clock, he posted a server-wide announcement in the game, telling all online players that the game would start maintenance at 12 o'clock, the maintenance time was 6 hours, and the game would start on time at 18 o'clock.
Afterwards, he posted the same content on the official website of "Your Ran Tian Ju" and the newly created game-exclusive Xingbo account, but added a sentence at the end that a total of 4,495 new game places will also be issued on time at 18:00, and netizens who have ideas for the game can claim them on the official website at that time.
Without waiting for the players who were kicked offline and the confused netizens to react, he opened another blank document and edited the second announcement of the day, which was also the main content of the game update.
1. Added new types of crops. Details can be viewed in the village chief's store after the update.
2. The "Life Skill System" is now online and can be learned from the village chief's wife. There are five types of life skills: cooking, gathering, carpentry, fishing, and mining. Each player has two life skill slots.
3. A new "breeding" gameplay is launched. Players can open up additional livestock shelters in the yard for breeding. For details, please consult the village chief in the game.
4. Players’ houses can be upgraded to include living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, bathrooms, warehouses and other functional rooms. You can explore the specific upgrade methods yourself.
5. New items are added to the mall.
6. Added the cooperative mission "Village Chief's Residence" to build a warm home for the homeless village chief!
7. Starting from February, there will be 1~2 events in the game every month with rich rewards. Players are welcome to actively participate. (This month's event: Corn Master)
8. There are many other changes, players are welcome to explore them in the game.
After checking that there were no errors in the content, Bai Li posted the above content on the official website and Xingbo. Netizens who had not yet completely left were once again shocked.
"Little Monster: Bai Li used inappropriate words, I report it! There are only 4495 places, how can you use 'receive'? It should be 'hurry up and grab' QAQ!"
"The time travel is illogical: Oh my god, oh my god, I thought it was great to have so many seeds in the game, but I didn't expect there would be more?? I am so happy, the anger of being forced to log off has subsided, now I just want to give you a loving kiss (づ￣3￣)づ"
“Handsome Fat Cat-san: Seeing so many updated contents, tears are streaming down my face. I feel like the game will become more and more fun! Li Li is so awesome!”
"Winter is coming: Li Li? Are you talking about the creator of the game? It does sound familiar! Then I'll tell you the truth, Li Li, you are my idol, so can you give me a spot in the game? I know you have one, you've reserved five!"
"Endless Star Sea: Today we have temporarily added a few devices here to ensure that the star network speed is excellent. You will definitely be able to grab a spot! Hehehe~hehehe~"
"Nai Gaigai: The shorter the words, the more brutal the content. Pay attention to the fifth one. I'm thirsty for my star points!"
…
Ever since Bai Li released the specific content of the update, more and more people have joined the discussion.
By 17:50, few people were talking in the comment section of Xingbo. Everyone quietly logged onto the official website, found the entrance to grab a spot in the game, and stared at the number "0" in a daze. In less than 10 minutes, this number would become 4495.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the competitors held their breath, fearing that they would miss today's opportunity if they were distracted.
With a beating heart and trembling hands, this moment will finally come.
People who deliberately projected the clock onto the wall saw that when the second hand passed the number "12", the page froze for a moment, and their fingers subconsciously clicked. When they came to their senses, they still had the impression that the number of vacancies changed from "0" to "4495". But when they looked again carefully, it changed back to "0".
So, did they get the spot?
Some people carefully opened their tightly closed eyes, saw the results displayed on the screen, and screamed excitedly. That kind of joy was like that of readers seeing their favorite author suddenly add more content.
"Hahahaha! I actually got a spot, I'm so awesome. Never mind, I'll just rush in and start the game right away!" Jiang Huaibi was so happy that he almost turned back into his original form, but he held it back for the sake of the game and quickly got into the game cabin. After a while, the game cabin started up.
At the same time, good news came from other places.
Mother Chu beat up Chu Qinglin and Father Chu, who were trembling and hugging each other but still had ecstatic smiles on their faces. She couldn't believe that she was the most wronged person in the family!
Gui Yuping let out a breath slowly, took out his treasured recipe book, and began to review it carefully.
Wen Chen reported the good news that he had won a spot in the game to the small group of food anchors, and instantly became the hope of the whole group...
