There were a total of nine materials with specific quantities marked on them, and a final category of furniture with an unknown quantity. The long string of zeros caught the players off guard.
The contribution points that can be increased by submitting these materials are also marked in small print. Generally, the more materials there are, the lower the contribution points given. For example, the contribution points that can be obtained by submitting materials such as glass stone, koi, and rare tree species are higher than the previous ones.
"Ah, this... Aren't we supposed to work for the village chief? I've already bought some white flour buns and I'm waiting to eat them while I work."
"These things are so weird. They don't seem to fit in with our game. Is this really a farming game?"
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop worrying about it. The choices have already been made. Can anyone tell me how to get these things? Don't fight with me. I want the naming rights!"
From then on, the topic was brought back to the naming rights of the village. After the players finished arguing and were able to accept the sudden pressure of a mountain of materials on them, Mo Song stood up and spoke.
There was still a bit of hesitation on his face, as if he was not quite sure. "I may know where these materials come from. I previously learned two life skills, gathering and mining, from the village chief's wife. The skills told me that gathering can get a variety of seeds and plants, while mining can get stones and minerals. These two skills should correspond to several things in the material list."
Someone drew inferences from this: "So the koi was probably obtained through fishing?"
"Furniture... don't tell me we need to make it ourselves? Using the 'carpentry' skill?"
"That makes sense! If that's the case, since there are so many of us, and we can all learn life skills and collect these materials separately, it should be easy to complete the task, right...?"
Some people also looked sad: "One of my skills is cooking, which doesn't seem to be very helpful for this task. Only one life skill is useful. Isn't it a big loss for me?"
At that time, I was thinking that after having the "cooking" skill, the success rate of making food would be greatly improved, and the food itself would have various buffs. In the end... in front of this task, it turned out to be the most useless?
"No, brother, you can't think like that. Food made with life skills has a bonus effect. You can make more food to increase the success rate, and then use it when gathering, mining or fishing. Wouldn't it be easier for you to get materials than others?"
The person who made the suggestion had obviously learned cooking skills and had studied the functions of this skill thoroughly beforehand, so what he said had its own reasons.
"Hmm? Is that so? That's good, that's good. I feel relieved now!"
The players quickly sorted out and rebuilt their moods, returning to their original lively state.
Although it takes a lot of materials to build a house for the village chief, they have a total of 5,000 strong laborers. If they divide it equally, won't each person only need a little? This way, there will be no pressure at all, and they will definitely be able to finish it quickly!
The mission came to a temporary end, and the new players soon remembered that they had not yet decided where to live, so they jumped out to ask how the village should be planned and where they, the newcomers, should live.
Some players, like Song Xinran and Jiang Huaibi, were quick to join the game as soon as they got the game spot. They had already completed the first and second tasks and their homes were ready, so they naturally did not need to participate in the discussion. However, most players, after grabbing the game spot, first hugged their relatives and friends, then gave a very ordinary "winning speech", and then entered the game after everything was ready. Naturally, they were stopped by the people who proposed the planning suggestions, and their independent houses were turned into group houses.
"Let me do it! This is my specialty!" Soon, a player named "Give Me a Bowl of Rice" stepped forward and said he could help.
He brought the players to a sandy area not far away, found a branch, and started drawing on the sand.
Bai Li followed and took a look, and found that this player was really good at dividing the village into approximate areas with just a few strokes. The players did not live together in a group, but were divided into several areas, some close to the mountains, some close to the water, and some near the forest for living. What's even more amazing is that this player seemed to have heard that some players wanted to live in the pit, and he drew a circle in the center of the village, saying that if you want to live here, you can dig a pit here together.
Song Xinran leaned over to take a look and said weakly, "Living in a pit, will it get flooded when it rains in the game?"
His voice was not loud, but it was so magical that many people heard it. Several players who were eager to try it out quickly stepped back, waving their hands and saying that it was not necessary, they just wanted to live on flat ground, and thanked the "Give me a bowl of rice" brother!
Liu Yingjun was the first to come up with this idea, so he could naturally add a few words to the mix. He squatted beside me, giving me a bowl of rice, pointing here and there, and actually gave me some good suggestions.
Seeing that they had planned it very well, even including the area where he and Wen Xingyao lived, Bai Li stopped waiting and said hello to Xiong Pili and the others before going back.
He hasn't harvested the crops he planted on the ground yet. After harvesting them he has to plant again. He's very busy.
As for finding the village chief's wife to learn life skills, he didn't think it was urgent. Anyway, he had no intention of competing with the players for the mission rewards.
Wen Xingyao intended to compete for the first place, so he did not go back with Bai Li. Instead, he decided to go to the village chief's wife to look at the life skills first, and choose two that interested him to learn.
"Master, Li Bai, wait for me, I'll go back with you!" Song Xinran was reminded by Bai Li not to call him master in the game, but he still almost said these two words. After saying this, he quickened his pace and followed behind Bai Li like a little tail.
Wen Xingyao looked back when he heard the noise, and after a moment of silence, he turned his head back. Li Bai was playing with his apprentice, so why was he so depressed here?
On the way back, Bai Li also learned from Song Xinran that his new neighbor was not Song Xinran, but a girl. Song Xinran was a step late and could only choose the empty space behind his house. He nodded to show that he understood. According to Song Xinran, it was the girl who helped to make suggestions on the location. She seemed to be a relatively easy-going person, so that was enough.
As expected, when the two of them reached the front door of their house, the door next door just happened to open.
A head popped out from inside, and seeing Song Xinran and Bai Li standing next to him, a warm smile instantly appeared on his face, and he greeted without thinking: "Boss, you're back!"
Jiang Huaibi walked out quickly, looking at Bai Li's face with a pair of shining eyes. The admiration in his eyes made Bai Li embarrassed and he took a small step back unconsciously.
Song Xinran on the side had his mouth wide open. How could he not know that the new friend he had just met was actually a fan of his master?
"What do you want?" Bai Li asked. He felt a little strange, why did this girl, whom he didn't know, call him "Boss" just after they met?
"It's okay..." Jiang Huaibi shook her head subconsciously at first, and then when she realized who was asking her the question, she shook her head again, "No, no, no, I'm busy! Um, you should be the boss 'Li Bai', right?"
Song Xinran told her that the game player "Li Bai" was his master. Now Song Xinran was walking with a stranger, so this person should be the legendary boss "Li Bai"!
When Jiang Huaibi thought about the fact that the other party had superb farming skills and could grow anything, she was so envious and admired him. If the other party could accept her as his apprentice, could she also say goodbye to the title of "plant killer"?
If you don't want to take her as an apprentice, you can just teach her a few tricks!
Are you really looking for him?
Bai Li nodded: "Yes, I am. You don't have to call me boss. What do you want to talk to me about?"
The same question was asked again, successfully making Jiang Huaibi stuck. She really didn't have anything particularly important to say, she was just a little excited to see her idol, so she came out to say hello without thinking.
But soon, she thought of a perfect reason.
"Boss Li Bai, oh no, Li Bai, I'm your fan, I also love farming, I want to be as good as you, so... can we add each other as friends?" Jiang Huaibi said, "My name is 'Huaibi', I live next door to you now, I want to learn more from you in the future and grow a lot of land!"
After saying that, he clenched his fist and made a "come on" gesture, full of energy.
This was the first time Bai Li had seen an interstellar person with such a strong sense of farming, and through her eyes, he could clearly feel her love and persistence for farming. This kind of emotion was not formed overnight, and unlike other interstellar people who only farmed on the star network, she must have actually done it in reality.
I just don't know why she acted so excited in the game when she clearly has relevant experience.
The God of Agriculture, who always plants whatever he can and makes it grow, probably never knew that there are such things as "plant killers" in this world.
After listening to Jiang Huaibi's self-analysis, Bai Li felt that it would be inhumane to reject her request for friendship. So he agreed generously and took the initiative to add Jiang Huaibi as a friend.
The goal was perfectly achieved, Jiang Huaibi didn't stand there any longer, waved goodbye to the two of them, and went out to complete the mission.
Bai Li and Song Xinran looked at each other and laughed together.
"Xiao Song, this game is quite interesting, right?"
"Yeah!" Song Xinran nodded heavily, "Super interesting!"
Whether it was the players in the game, the tasks he received, or the environment he was in, they were all things he had never experienced in reality.
Most people in real life are deeply persecuted by "Gene Collapse Disorder". Their emotions are not so peaceful. They usually have a stern face and never smile. But in the game, everyone has a smile from the heart, as if... this game is a paradise in their hearts. In the game, everyone can live a carefree life without having to worry about the problem of Gene Collapse Disorder.
It would be great if everyone in the galaxy could live in such a world. Thinking of this, Song Xinran couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
However, Bai Li's next words quickly interrupted his thoughts: "You don't have to follow me all the time, go play by yourself, do some tasks, or buy some food, anything is fine. But don't be too addicted to the game, remember to log off when it's time to rest."
Song Xinran grinned: "Okay, Master, I'll go play then~"
After Song Xinran left, Bai Li did not stay in the game for long. He harvested the ripe crops in the yard, planted a new batch of wheat, calculated the time for the next harvest, and then went offline to hang out on the forum for a while, or to calm down and continue to refine the game update content.
After an hour when the wheat is ripe, he will go online to plant a batch of crops that take a longer time to grow, and end the game for the day.
Wen Xingyao hurried over, only to see Bai Li's figure gradually disappearing. He stared at the spot where Bai Li disappeared for a long time, his eyes revealing a bit of complexity.
After a while...will he also be "forced" offline?
At this time, another person hurried over from a distance, and seeing Wen Xingyao standing here, he asked casually: "Yaoxing, have you seen Li Bai?"
Mo Song looked a little anxious. While talking to Wen Xingyao, he kept looking towards Bai Li's house from time to time.
Wen Xingyao told the truth: "He just went offline. I don't know when he will come back next time."
"What? He's offline!" Mo Song had a look of regret on his face, "I wanted to discuss something with Li Bai, ah..."
