Bai Li logged into the game two hours after the update was completed.
As soon as he came out of the hut, he heard a huge noise coming from the entrance of the village. Realizing that there was probably a conflict between new and old players, he did not bother to observe any changes nearby and hurried to the village entrance.
What he didn't know was that after he ran about a hundred meters away, the door of the house next to him also creaked open, which meant that the owner of the house had come online. Wen Xingyao missed the movement from the village entrance, but did not miss Bai Li's hurried departure. He thought about it and simply paced and followed.
Before leaving, he saw a small wooden house and a small bamboo house on the other side of Bai Li's house and not far behind it. He raised his eyebrows. Are there new neighbors?
The update of the game not only makes the gameplay more diverse, but also the total area of the map in the game has been expanded 100 times by Bai Li in one go. Although the area of the village is not that exaggerated, it is 20 times the original size. After all, there are more people now, and it is difficult to move around if the place is too small.
The village suddenly grew 20 times larger, so that a place that originally only took a few minutes to walk to suddenly became a "long journey". By the time Bai Li arrived at the village entrance, almost ten minutes had passed.
No, he had to add some kind of transportation to the game! Bai Li was panting as he thought to himself.
When he arrived at the destination, he did not get too close, but looked around and successfully found familiar faces such as Xiong Pili, Mo Song, Tang Ying, and Song Xinran. The other two who he had never seen but were obviously acquainted with Xiong Pili were probably Mo Zhu and Ji Yingqi. These people were standing together.
Seeing that Song Xinran actually entered the game in his true appearance, he secretly muttered "little fool" in his heart.
At this time, Song Xinran was the first to discover Bai Li's figure. He waved at him happily, but did not shout out the word "Master" loudly. He had already left the team and walked towards him.
Bai Li hurried over and signaled his disciple to stop and not come any closer.
"Master, why are you online just now? I have been playing for a long time!" Song Xinran whispered to Bai Li, "Yes, yes, I put my house behind yours. It is a small bamboo house I bought separately. It is green and looks very beautiful! Fortunately, I completed the task quickly, otherwise I might not be able to choose where to live freely..."
At the end of his speech, he carefully glanced at the crowd that was still arguing not far away, and fear flashed in his eyes.
Hmm? Could it be that the conflict among the players is actually related to the house? Could it be that there were too many people coming in at once and they started fighting over the territory?
"What exactly happened? Why are everyone gathered here?" Bai Li asked Song Xinran in a low voice.
Song Xinran followed Bai Li back to where he had originally stood, and on the way he briefly explained the whole story.
It turns out that this is really related to the players' houses, but it has nothing to do with fighting for territory. It's just that some players think that since everyone has to find a place to put their houses, why not plan the village in advance, divide the approximate location of the living area, and then only place their small houses in those locations? This is not only tidy and beautiful, but also saves space. Otherwise, if there are houses everywhere, it would be difficult to walk on the road.
But some players think that since everyone is here to play the game, and this game is famous for its freedom and freedom, why not follow their own ideas? We like to put our houses on high hillsides or by streams. Even if they dig a deep pit, put the house in it, and then dig stairs on the side of the pit for easy access, that is their business. Why should they listen to you and follow the planned location?
Each of the two opinions had its own supporters, and after a few arguments, the two sides started arguing. They didn't fight because today was a good day for all of them to get a spot in the game, and it was not appropriate to shed blood. But the conflict still needed to be resolved, so everyone came to the village gate and had a heated debate in front of the village chief and his wife, and even pulled the village chief aside to ask his opinion on the matter.
It's like three-year-olds fighting over their favorite toys.
Village Chief: ...Who wants to participate in such a stupid discussion?
At this time, the village chief's wife secretly pulled the village chief's sleeve, indicating that he should look in a certain direction. The village chief looked over and found Bai Li's presence. He also saw Bai Li nodded slightly at him. The thoughts in his eyes were directly conveyed to his mind. The old village chief made a decision instantly.
This scene was completed in a very short time, and no player noticed it. They only knew that from a certain moment on, the aura around the village chief changed.
He calmed everyone down with a few words, telling them that the village was everyone's common home and that they should unite to protect it together, rather than quarreling at the beginning of settling down. Then, the old village chief temporarily skipped the issue of the village's internal planning and talked about how long he had been here and how many questions he had answered for everyone. He had worked hard for more than half a month, but he didn't even have a place to live. Now his wife had come to find him, and she had to live with him in the open air. It was really miserable.
The old village chief thought that he could arouse the sympathy of the crowd by playing the emotional card. When everyone felt sorry for him, he could naturally issue a task for the players to build a residence for him and his wife. However... not long after he opened his mouth, the players' attention was diverted, but the focus was a little biased.
"Hmm??? Is the new mission about to begin? I rushed here quickly, village chief, please tell me, what do you want us to do to help you?" The old players who were originally indifferent to the matter became excited.
"What, what, the mission is about to start? Let's talk about the house later, just accept the mission first!" The new players also became mission-completion maniacs who came here after hearing the news.
"Give the village chief a home... We are going to build a house for him! Leave it to us, and we will have you living in a new house in the shortest possible time!"
"Hmm... am I the only one who noticed that the village chief said that his wife was found by himself? She is clearly the life skills instructor that Li Li created for us. If she is assigned to the village chief as his wife, then he is taking advantage of her. The old man is really bad!" He said this in a low voice, and no one else could hear it except the people around him. But even so, he received a few voices of agreement.
The players were chattering together, but the village chief had a smile on his face. He took out a few blueprints from his arms in a very professional manner and said, "This is the style of house that my wife and I wanted after discussing it. You can choose one to help us build it. Their construction procedures are difficult and easy, so I suggest that you do it according to your ability. When the house is completed, my wife and I will prepare a thank-you gift for everyone based on your participation and contribution. Before that, thank you all for your hard work." After speaking, the old village chief bowed gently.
It is obviously a very simple action, but it reveals a unique charm.
When the players reacted, they all started to imitate the village chief. Although their movements looked clumsy, they managed to look pretty good.
After the bow, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.
One player quickly took the construction plan from the village chief. At the same time, a virtual screen appeared in front of all the players. At the top, there was a text message congratulating them on receiving the team task "Village Chief's Residence". In the next period of time, they would work together to give the village chief a warm home. Below the text were four pictures in the shape of a "田". They were the dream house that the village chief and his wife had chosen.
After seeing the four pictures clearly, many players couldn't help but burst into tears, their eyes red with envy. These four houses are so beautiful! Not only is it the village chief's dream house, but it's also theirs!
The four pictures are: a country cottage hidden in a bamboo forest, a spacious courtyard covered with tiles, a garden-style building surrounded by rockery and trees with a small pond in the middle, and the last one, which is actually a huge palace-style building with "a building every five steps, a pavilion every ten steps, winding corridors and high eaves (note)"!
The interstellar people who had never seen the world were immediately captured by these buildings of various shapes and retro styles. They were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped without realizing it.
For the players, the first two are barely acceptable, but the last two... are really too much! There are so many rooms in there, and there are only two of you, can you really live in it! ?
"Why...when I look at these four pictures, tears flow from the corners of my mouth QAQ!"
"I just want to ask, respected village chief and wife, are you in need of a godson who can live in your spare room, who can work and eat well..."
"It's ok even if you're my goddaughter. I'm willing to dress like a woman for you!"
"Damn it! Why is our little hut so simple while the village chief and his people can live in such a beautiful house? I can't accept this!"
"Now I declare that the rumor that Monster Star Boss is the producer's biological son is absolutely a rumor! It is obvious that NPC is Li Li's biological son!"
Bai Li heard his own son's words again: No need, really no need! He doesn't want a son at all!
Wen Xingyao, who finally arrived after a few steps behind and accidentally heard it, said: What the hell is going on! The reason why he can be called a "big brother" is obviously because he has money!
He was still some distance away from Bai Li and could only glance at him from afar. He imagined the scene of himself calling his best friend "Dad" and felt so terrified that the hairs on his body stood up.
Wen Xingyao didn't want to face Bai Li for the time being. Fortunately, Tang Ying also saw him at this time, and quietly gestured to him, and the two of them hid in a secluded corner where no one was paying attention and talked secretly.
"Tell me, how many people are coming in?" Wen Xingyao was asking about the results of the competition for the second batch of game places.
Tang Ying spoke weakly, as if he couldn't raise his head: "Only 207... Before this, I had someone adjust the network speed, but I still couldn't grab more people outside."
Wen Xingyao looked at his adjutant with a noble and cold look, and said, "Only? Hundreds of thousands of people can't get 5,000 accounts, which is considered a lot, right? Don't forget how the previous 300 people got in. If we weren't lucky, we might not know the name of "You Ran Tian Ju" until now."
When Tang Ying heard this, it seemed to be true. The fact that their military department was able to have so many people come in in the first batch was largely due to luck. Although there were fewer people coming in this time, the total number of people coming in twice was at least more than 500, which was a good result.
So he nodded, agreed with Wen Xingyao's statement, and stopped worrying about the result.
The two wanted to say something else when they heard a loud shout from the crowd: "Oh my god, these houses are so beautiful, I really want all four! If the village chief's house is officially completed, and our house is in a mess without any aesthetic appeal, wouldn't it be too much of a sight? If this kind of thing gets out, it will definitely bring shame to our beautiful village, so I'm sorry to my brothers, I have to change my mind, let's make some plans first!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they almost got a unanimous vote. Even if there were still a few people who were resisting, they were tightly covered by the people around them to prevent them from saying anything against it.
Let's make a plan and contribute to the beautiful village! !
Wait! What the hell is “Beautiful Village”? Why is our village called such a strange name?
