The old village chief counted the number of people affected by the disaster, took out a total of ten cloth bags from his sleeves, and distributed them to the players whose houses collapsed one by one.
When it was delivered to Grayscale, he opened the last bag and took out the so-called "comfort gifts". It was at this time that the players saw the true appearance of the comfort gifts.
It was a grass ball, round and green on the outside, with fine grass leaves covering the surface. You could smell the faint fragrance of grass without getting too close.
If this thing is used for eating, it should taste very good. Many players thought so.
However, the village chief's subsequent explanation of this prop made them freeze in surprise.
"This thing is called 'Taming Grass Ball'. It is specially for animals to eat and has a strong appeal to them. One grass ball can increase the animal's favorability by 30 points. If the favorability reaches 60 or above, there is a certain chance that it will be transformed into a pet. There are three 'Taming Grass Balls' in each bag. I hope everyone can make good use of them and get the pet they like."
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, there was a huge commotion at the scene.
Tame! Subdue! The grass! Group!
What kind of magical prop is this? All you have to do is feed the grass ball to the captured animal and you can easily get a pet. Is that right?
Moreover, the breed of the pet can be chosen by the players themselves, instead of casting a wide net like before and taking whatever is caught. There is no way to deal with it if you don’t like the type of animal.
Those houses were fine, and the players who just came to watch the fun were originally secretly sympathizing with these people's plight. Now they are really jealous and wish they could take their place and be the unlucky guy whose house collapsed!
How much is a small hut worth? If you lose it, you can buy it directly in the game store, with four styles to choose from. But the "tamed grass ball" that the village chief took out is different. This thing is a good thing with a price but no market. It appears once today, and it is unknown when it will appear next time.
Many people stared at those who were holding the cloth bags with ecstasy on their faces, and began to think about the possibility of buying the "Tamed Grass Ball" from them.
The latter soon felt the burning gaze, broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly put the cloth bag into his backpack. Are you kidding? Such good things are hard to come by, and they would not be crazy enough to sell them. They still feel that they are not enough for their own use!
Seeing them making the same movements at the same time, the players watching knew that they would not be able to get the grass balls from these people, and they all sighed with regret.
Fortunately, the village chief's next words diverted their attention.
"Well, it seems that some of the houses in our village are still not strong enough. I have a blueprint of a 'stone house' here. I got it by chance when I was young. I will give it to you today. If you need it, you can build your own house according to the steps on the blueprint."
After listening to the village chief's speech, someone in the crowd whispered, "The old village chief had a lot of experience when he was young. He would have an adventure every now and then..."
This caused the people around me to burst out laughing. That's right, he said the same thing when he gave the recipe to Boss Yaoxing and me Jian Qingshan.
After hearing what the village chief said, Hui Lin and the others' already happy faces even broke into smiles. They nodded madly, wishing they could throw their heads away.
Of course they need it! Their house collapsed, so they needed to buy a new one. Because of the collapse, they were really worried about the fragile hut. It would be a good thing if the house could be stronger. Besides, this "stone house" cannot be bought with money.
In such a short period of time, there were only ten of them in the entire game who owned such a sturdy house. How proud it would be to tell others about it!
Don’t they just need to build it themselves? Players have plenty of time and energy!
The onlookers watched the interaction between the village chief and the ten people with sour eyes. Suddenly, the village chief turned around, faced them, and said, "All villagers can view this blueprint. If other people's houses collapse due to accidents in the future, they can also use this blueprint to build new houses."
There is a premise in his words, that is, the house needs to collapse before it can be rebuilt. According to the setting of "Learn Farmhouse", players can only own one house at a time. Once the house is taken out of the backpack and built at a fixed location, it cannot be taken back and replaced with another house. However, the four types of houses in the mall are not restricted for purchase. Because of the low price, some people buy the whole set for collection.
The players who got the village chief's permission were happy at first, but soon found out the prerequisites for turning their houses into stone houses, and they became disappointed again. This feeling of emptiness that can be seen but not touched is really annoying!
There were also a few players who lowered their heads, seemingly thinking about something, and no one knew what they were thinking.
"Thank you, village chief. We will definitely make good use of the blueprints for 'Taming the Grass' and 'Stone House'!" Gray Scale and nine other players said loudly.
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you have this idea." The village chief stroked his long beard with satisfaction. "It's getting late, I'll go back first, and you all can go and do whatever you need to do."
After saying that, he walked away slowly.
If someone really listened to the village chief and left obediently, they would no longer be the self-indulgent StarCraft players.
When the village chief was out of sight, someone called out to Huilin and asked him, "Huilin, are you planning to feed the grass ball to the wild boar when you return?"
Gray Scale was stunned for a moment. He really had this plan. After thinking it over, he was reluctant to let the wild boar go or kill it. But at this time, the village chief gave them a taming grass ball. Isn't it the right time, right place, and right people? It would be unreasonable for him not to use it on the wild boar! He also thought that after he took the wild boar as a pet, he would take it to apologize to every household!
He was not a good liar. Since someone had already guessed it, he simply nodded and admitted it: "Yes, I did have this plan."
After hearing this, the players who had just finished watching the fun no longer wanted to leave. Someone immediately took over the conversation and urged them, "Hey, I think you should just not go back and feed the boar here. Anyway, your house has been knocked down by the wild boar, and your yard must be a mess. You might as well collect the wild boar in the open space, so that we can all see the effect of taming the grass ball!"
Gray Scale thought to himself, if you saw the effect of taming the grass ball with your own eyes, wouldn't you be more excited and sad at the same time? After all, none of you have a tamed grass ball in your hands.
The other nine people who had the prop also became interested when they heard it. They all knew Huilin in real life, and after a few words of persuasion, Huilin was convinced. Anyway, it was the same wherever he tamed the wild boar, so since these people wanted to watch, let them watch.
The crowd automatically stepped back a distance, leaving space for Huilin to take the wild boar out of his backpack.
Huilin lowered his head to operate the machine, and a huge wild boar suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. It fell from a height of ten centimeters above the ground and hit the ground with a loud "duang" sound.
"Grunt!" The paralyzed wild boar made a sound of pain.
"Hmph, since you knocked down our house, you deserve to be taught a lesson!" Huilin cursed again, but his hand dishonestly touched the wild boar's fur. He was very satisfied with the rough feel. The skin was rough, the flesh was thick, and it could withstand a beating!
He took out the bag given to him by the village chief, and just as he took out a grass ball from it, the wild boar lying on the ground reacted. Its long pig nose twitched, its half-closed eyes opened wide, and its huge head moved with difficulty towards the direction of the gray-scale hand.
The "humming" sound never stopped for a moment, and everyone around him felt anxious for him.
"Grayscale, don't delay any longer, try feeding it!" someone couldn't help but urge.
Gray Scale nodded, reached out to pry open the wild boar's mouth, and fed the whole grass ball the size of a baby's fist into the boar.
Unexpectedly, such delicious food was actually for him to eat. The wild boar was so moved that tears flowed from the corners of his mouth and dripped all over Huilin's hand. Looking at his wet hand full of strange smell, Huilin suddenly regretted taking such a big guy as his pet.
It’s so shameful!
But one tamed grass ball had already been fed, and he only had two left in his hand. It was too late to regret now. In order to achieve his goal of collecting pets, he could only bite the bullet and continue going forward.
The first grass ball quickly disappeared into the wild boar's mouth, and nothing happened.
Huilin gritted his teeth and fed another one in front of everyone.
The wild boar was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. It could actually eat two such delicious dumplings in one go! Now, when it looked at Huilin, it was filled with gratitude, love, admiration, and other emotions.
There was still no system prompt. Huilin sighed and thought that the village chief had really calculated things well. Three taming grass balls added a total of 90 points to the animal's favorability. It seemed that he had to use three to turn the captured animals into his pets.
He took out the last taming grass ball and was about to feed it into the wild boar's mouth, but he noticed the fanatical light in the wild boar's ferocious eyes. He stretched out his hand and froze for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then silently withdrew his hand.
The players watching were extremely anxious.
"Why don't you feed it? Hurry up and feed it. Can't you see that the baby wild boar is about to cry for food? Are you regretting it now?"
"Hahaha, you little wild boar, you're so impatient! Can't you let me observe before feeding? After all, this is the last grass ball. If there is no reaction after feeding this one, all three will be wasted."
"Wow, if we fail to capture the wild boar, it will be a huge loss..."
There was a lot of noise around him, but Huilin had no time to pay attention to the discussions and urgings of these people. He just suddenly had a wonderful idea. The village chief had said before that as long as the favorability reached 60 or above, the captured animal could become a pet. He had already fed two taming grass balls, and the favorability should be qualified. Of course, if he fed another one, the success rate would reach more than 90%, but what if he didn't feed the third one and just took it to the wild boar to seduce it...
With this in mind, he began to experiment. He held the tame grass ball tightly in one hand, which exuded a faint grass fragrance, but did not feed it to the wild boar. Instead, he waved it back and forth in front of it, making a very seductive gesture.
The wild boar was also successfully seduced, and its pair of cunning eyes stared at the ball of green grass without blinking. It looked back and forth as Gray Scale moved, and the desire in its eyes grew brighter and brighter. Its greedy look made the surrounding players couldn't help but feel sympathy for it.
Poor wild boar, you can see it but can’t eat it, it’s so pitiful!
They are the same, they can see the tamed grass balls but cannot get them, they are just as pitiful!
The players vaguely guessed Gray Scale's purpose, and those with quick minds even thought that if only two grass balls were needed to get a pet, then with a total of 30 grass balls, wouldn't it be possible to get a maximum of 15 pets?
They still have a chance!
So everyone stopped talking and watched the interaction between Gray Scale and the wild boar nervously, shouting in their hearts: "It must succeed! It must succeed!"
Finally, with Huilin's unremitting efforts, the most exciting moment arrived. The system prompt finally came. After seeing the words displayed on it, Huilin immediately chose "Yes".
An inconspicuous white light flashed, and he felt the vague connection between himself and the wild boar.
"Success!" he shouted excitedly.
Cheers were heard all around, and everyone looked overjoyed. It was almost as if everyone had a pet at that moment.
"Great! It turns out that we only need two tamed grass balls to get a pet. This way we can have one grass ball left over in the future, and the extra grass balls can be used to get five more pets!" The person who also had the comfort items said happily, already considering whether to sell the extra one or keep it for his close friends.
Gray Scale didn't care what everyone thought at this time. Anyway, he had successfully taken the wild boar as a pet. The next step was to build the stone house. He looked at the stone house blueprint given by the village chief and found that it would require a lot of square stones. The first person he thought of was a person.
Perhaps only that person has enough stones.
In order to prevent others from getting there first, he looked at the people who were still discussing heatedly, put the wild boar into the pet space, and quietly slipped away.
"Hmm? Do you want to buy those square stones that I sold to you before?" Jiang Huaibi looked at Huilin who was hurrying over and asked for confirmation.
"Yeah." Huilin nodded. "How many of these stones do you have? Is this the number?" He gestured with his hands.
When Jiang Huaibi saw this number, he knew what he was going to do. He should be planning to build a stone house, right?
She was actually one of the onlookers, and saw with her own eyes that the village chief gave Huilin and his men the tamed grass balls, and that Huilin successfully tamed the wild boar with the help of the tamed grass balls. At that time, she was thinking about how to discuss it with others, and the real owner came to her door.
Thinking of this, Jiang Huaibi smiled and replied: "I have the number of stones you want. I can sell them to you, but you have to agree to one condition of mine first."
"What conditions?" Huilin became alert.
"Use your newly tamed wild boar to knock down my house."
