After Wen Xingyao left, Bai Li opened the task panel and checked the current progress of the task "Village Chief's Residence".
After two days of hard work by all players, the collection progress of each material has moved forward a little.
Soil (1000000/4789), Stone (500000/2478), Copper Ore (100000/1368), Wooden Planks (100000/856), Flower Seeds (50000/278), Glazed Stone (10000/125), Silver Ore (10000/178), Koi (5000/99), Rare Tree Species (500/27), Some Furniture (15).
Generally speaking, the more materials are in demand, the higher the number of submissions. For materials like soil, stone, and copper ore, the numbers will jump up every time you refresh. For materials with less demand and relatively rare, it is a bit difficult to collect. The number of rare tree species is not even 50, which shows how difficult it is to collect.
Although it has only been two days and nothing can be seen, Bai Li believes that as the players' skills become more proficient, the progress of the task will become faster and faster. Maybe it won't even take a month, and the task will be completed with everyone's efforts.
What surprised Bai Li was the last item, "furniture". The furniture here cannot be bought from the game store and then submitted to the village chief. Instead, it needs to be made by the player himself through the life skill of "woodworking". Moreover, these furniture cannot be defective, let alone missing limbs, otherwise if the village chief and his wife accidentally drop them when using them, who will be held responsible?
Bai Li would add this item as a material, and said it was "some", which could be considered as a preparation for both scenarios. In case the players cannot make complete furniture, they can just pretend that there is no such goal.
But even for this item, some players submitted fifteen qualified products.
Out of curiosity, Bai Li used his authority to check which players submitted the messages, and found out that it was the same person, an acquaintance.
Give me a bowl of rice. Zheng Yi, the new partner, looks like a rice eater, but in fact, he is very serious and has the demeanor of an old cadre in both words and deeds.
It turned out to be him.
Bai Li thought about the other party saying that he would start live streaming today, so he simply logged into Youhu Live in the game and found his live streaming room.
As he expected, there were not many viewers in this live broadcast room, only about 20,000 people. The comments were not enthusiastic either, and everyone just watched the people inside quietly doing their own things. Occasionally someone asked a question, and Zheng Yi would stop what he was doing and answer it seriously.
He is currently working on a wooden chair with a backrest, which is almost finished. He is using the tools in his hands to carve patterns on the backrest. His movements are slow and rhythmic, leisurely and contented, and you can tell that he is really enjoying the process, almost to the point of forgetting himself.
Bai Li thought of their conversation last night. The other party wanted to replicate ancient buildings in the game and was now learning from the most basic. It seemed that he had a plan in mind, so he quietly exited the live broadcast room and stopped paying attention.
Afterwards, he went to Jiang Huaibi's live broadcast room. The little girl was carrying a basket in her hand, jumping around in the forest, moving the bushes here, turning over the piles of stones there, and putting everything she found interesting into her backpack. Perhaps because of the attraction of the aura, those who entered this live broadcast room more or less had the same hobbies as Jiang Huaibi. Those who were more advanced gave gifts while giving Jiang Huaibi advice, telling her which things might be useful and must be stocked up! Whenever Jiang Huaibi found something new, it would cause a cheer.
The treasure hunt live broadcast room was extremely lively. Bai Li watched for a while and then left.
As for Wen Chen’s “Food Tasting” live broadcast room, the fixed broadcast time is from 10 to 12 o’clock every night. It is still very early now.
After checking the progress of the mission and having an idea of it, Bai Li tidied up the land in the yard and decided to make some contribution to the mission.
Having just got some strawberry jam, he initially planned to go fishing by the river. But when he got to the fishing spot outside the village, he found that there were a lot of people around, not only were there many vendors doing business nearby, but there were also a lot of people fishing. He even saw a few people almost fighting over a spot.
It was also from listening to the conversation of the people next to him that he realized that the location was where Yaoxing caught the golden koi. He didn't expect that in just over an hour, this place had become a popular check-in attraction.
Perhaps there is some wonderful metaphysics involved. Some people always think that as long as they fish in the place where the big guys have been, their chances of catching koi will be greatly increased. Maybe they can even become the second person to catch a golden koi!
Well, that's how confident I am!
It seems that today is not a good day for fishing.
Bai Li shook his head and walked towards the forest.
He had two life skill columns, one of which he learned to fish, and the other he learned to gather.
To use the gathering skill, a shovel is needed. He currently only has the "ordinary shovel" given to him by the village chief's wife. For Bai Li, who just wants to join in the fun on a whim, it is enough.
He took a shovel into the forest, found a corner with lush vegetation, squatted down, and started digging!
Weeds, wild vegetables, mushrooms, grass seeds, earthworms... wherever they passed, there was a mess, which was a typical example of plucking feathers from a passing goose.
Bai Li was not worried that his actions would damage the ecological environment of the forest. He set it up at the beginning so that the places dug by players would be refreshed after 10 minutes, and new resources would grow again. In short, the resources in the forest were inexhaustible.
At this moment, he was an emotionless collector, walking forward without looking back, and he walked deeper into the forest. At the same time, his backpack also had two more flower seeds that he had dug with great difficulty, and a lot of miscellaneous items that would make ordinary players cry and hoarders (especially those who cherish jade) scream.
The depths of the forest are much quieter than the entrance. If you stop and close your eyes, you can only hear the tiny chirping of insects.
"Well, we should put more small animals in the forest. I'll arrange it later." Bai Li muttered to himself while observing the surrounding environment.
In his opinion, these small animals are not just for viewing. As long as players have the awareness, they can capture them or even take them home to raise as pets. When it comes to pets, it is not enough to just be ornamental. At least they should be given some pet status, so it would be better to add some pet skills.
Bai Li thought quickly in his mind and soon sorted out the general ideas. He decided to wait until he got offline at night and finish this task before going to bed.
Today, he first put new props on the shelves, then launched the "Achievements and Titles" system, and now he has to arrange the small animals in the forest. Bai Li feels that he is really a conscientious producer. So hardworking!
Bai Li was so thick-skinned that he praised himself all over in his heart. Just as he was about to look for the next digging spot, he heard a sudden burst of heated communication coming from the front.
It wasn't that he wanted to eavesdrop on purpose...it was just that the voices of these female players were really too loud.
Each one of them is full of energy, and if the sound is louder, it might even shake off a few leaves.
"Strange, how did I get inside again without realizing it? At first I was just going to pick some outside and it would be enough in an hour, but now I look at the time, oh my god, how come more than three hours have passed?"
"That's right, I didn't feel time passing so quickly. Three hours just went by inexplicably. By the way, did the girls collect anything good? How many flower seeds did you collect?"
"Yes! There are also flower seeds. I almost forgot about them because I was so engrossed in digging. Let me see... Hmm, why are there only five? Isn't that too little?"
"Oh my god, you actually have five, and I only have three. Did I not dig hard enough or did you find a good place?"
"Please share your experience. I also want to dig out more flower seeds!"
Five different female voices chirped, one after another reporting the number of flower seeds they had dug up.
Bai Li added up their reported counts and found that there were 19. This result made him feel a little strange, as if something didn't make sense.
Before he could figure out the problem, the subsequent discussion among the female players answered this question.
"Hey, let's do some more. Now that we're in, let's not leave yet. I can still dig for another two hours!"
"Sister is right! Only three or five flower seeds are useless. I have to give half to the village chief and can only bring one or two back home. When will I be able to plant a garden?"
"Haha, now you should thank me for reminding you, right? If I hadn't told you that flower seeds can be planted in the yard and can sprout and bloom, I don't know when you rough guys would have discovered it. Let me tell you, the seeds I planted three days ago have bloomed. They are rose-red and are called 'Impatiens'. They are pretty. When you're done, you can come to my house and take a look?"
Now Bai Li finally understood why he had felt so strange just now. The progress of flower seeds on the task panel seemed to be slower than that of other materials. Combined with the conversations of the female players in front of him, he came to a conclusion that the players did not hand in all the flower seeds they collected, but chose to take them home to plant.
This discovery did not make Bai Li angry, but he thought it was good. Players were not playing games for tasks, but for themselves. The former was running around for life, while the latter was enjoying life. There was an essential difference.
Just when I realized this and was about to leave quietly, the tone of the female players' chat changed again.
"Just talk, why are you waving your hands around? Your little finger is almost sticking up to the sky. By the way, what's wrong with your nails? Why are they red? Did you get hurt inside your nails?"
"..." Bai Li was very sensitive to the unhappy pause of the female player who spoke before.
Then the female player who discovered the function of flower seeds continued to speak.
"What are you talking about? My finger is injured. I just want to show you my bright red nails. Tell me if they look good or not!"
"It does look nice...but what are you talking about? Oh, you know what, this color is pleasing to the eye after looking at it for a long time. Where did you get it? I'll get one when I get back!"
"I want one too, I want one too. This bloody color is just what I want. Good sisters always need to be neat and tidy!"
"Hey, you guys don't understand this, do you?" The female player with the dyed nails said proudly, "I can't get the color of my nails anywhere. This is my exclusive secret recipe. Ding ding ding ding, look, I brought everything here. It's the petals of the Impatiens flower. The juice squeezed out can directly dye nails red. You can see the effect. What do you think? Do you want to try it?"
"Really? That's amazing!"
"Let me try it now, I want the reddest one!"
"Hey, you know what, with your nails painted, you seem to have a little more femininity!"
"Get lost! I've always been very feminine, okay!" The female player cursed in feigned anger at first, then changed her tone and became affectionate, "Miss, miss, look at my nails, aren't they beautiful~~"
She was responded with a chorus of "ugh" sounds; it was obvious that her companions were disgusted by her tone.
Bai Li couldn't help but chuckled, covering his mouth with one hand to prevent the laughter from leaking out, while backing away, wanting to take another route.
As a result, with a "crack", a dry branch appeared under his feet. When he stepped on it, it made a crisp breaking sound.
The female players heard the noise and looked over here, discovering Bai Li's presence.
Bai Li: “…”
This is embarrassing.
