As the sky darkens, the March event "Food Grabbing Battle" is coming to an end.
A match lasts half an hour, and ten matches last five hours. Adding the time spent on tasks in between, the players spend about six to seven hours a day on activities.
So many hours, it sounds a bit scary at first, but the players who are eager to compete are scratching their heads and saying: Huh? We have been fighting for food for so long, every time we enter the map, it always feels like it has just begun, and it's already over...
I don't feel anything, I really don't feel anything. What is time? All we see is full! Grab the light! Steal the light!
So, with all the players actively participating in the event, on the third night of the event, almost no one went to the village chief anymore, because they had used up all ten chances during the day.
The rest of the time was spent sharing my experience of the activity with my companions and netizens in the forum.
"Hey, it feels great to participate in the three-day event from beginning to end! Although I don't have much krypton gold and can't use the event props every time, and although I was lazy and entered the simple or difficult dungeons with my friends a few times, I still saved more than 5,000 points in these three days! Don't think about those expensive props. As long as my hand speed is fast enough, I can exchange many of them. It's great~"
"As a new player this month, I watched quite a few live broadcasts of 'Corn Master' last month. I thought it was quite interesting at the time, and I didn't expect it to be even more interesting when I participated in it myself. Although I lost the trust of most people in this event..."
"Have three days passed so quickly? During these three days, I was really hoping that time would pass quickly so that I could get through this crisis of trust. But when this event is really about to end, I feel reluctant to let it go? What's going on?"
"Hahaha! Who says it's not true? I just shared a similar feeling with my friend, and then my friend gave me two words: Masochism. Now I give the same words to the person above. We are all captives of Li Li~"
Bai Li: ???
I am not, I don’t, and I will not capture any player!
When Bai Li saw this kind of comment in a forum post while slacking off, he almost jumped up in anger. He is obviously a kind, sincere game designer who always cares about the players! It's just an ordinary event, he wouldn't make it so complicated!
After giving himself a psychological hint, Bai Li directly quit the forum and concentrated on farming.
As time passed, midnight on March 18th arrived as everyone expected.
With the experience of grabbing props at the end of last month's event, all players stayed in the game before this, and when the time came, they directly called out the redemption page and started clicking quickly.
Game spot, take it!
Tree house pet egg bicycle mount egg... give it to me!
Some items were too few in number, and the balance became "0" before they could be grabbed in time. Players would just skip it after a brief pause and continue to exchange. It was not until the balance of all limited items became "0" that the players who had been grabbing them with red eyes slowly stopped their actions and checked what they had grabbed and how many points they had left.
If they still have points left, they can continue to pick and choose and redeem unlimited items. If they have used up all their points, they can go to the forum and start showing off.
The courtyard of Bai Li's house was very lively in the early morning of that day. Bai Li, Wen Xingyao, Tang Ying, Song Xinran, Mo Song, Xiong Pili, Mo Zhu, and Ji Yingqi, a total of eight people gathered together. They sat under the vine rack waiting for the exchange time to start, and released their pets. A bunch of furry and slippery ones were also playing happily in the yard.
While a few people were chatting, laughing, eating and drinking, the occasional tender cries of pets could be heard, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
One minute before 24:00, the eight people stopped what they were doing at the same time, their expressions tense, as if they were studying the affairs of the empire, and reviewing in their minds what they were going to exchange. When the time was up, they started rushing in skillfully without being reminded.
If the action of them clicking on the system panel could make a sound, then there would definitely be a noisy sound of fingers clicking over the yard.
However, the scene like this, where everyone is quietly raising one hand and frantically clicking on an invisible panel, is enough to make people feel weird.
This peaceful scene lasted for three full minutes before it was broken by Song Xinran's long exhalation.
Song Xinran was the one with the least points among the eight of them, so he was the first to complete the exchange. Then it was Mo Zhu, Ji Yingqi... Tang Ying, and finally Bai Li and Wen Xingyao. After everyone had completed the exchange, they smiled at each other and talked about their gains.
Xiong Pili: "I exchanged for a pet egg. I didn't exchange it because bicycles have been mass-produced in our village. Then I exchanged for 10 surprise gift bags and a fairy flower seedling. I have less than 1,000 points left. I will pick some other props later."
Mo Zhu: "Haha, I got the tree house. Mr. Bai even put a question mark on the icon. Does it mean that different tree houses will be randomly opened? I'm looking forward to it. But after I got the tree house, I didn't have many points left, so I changed a few sets of nutrient solution. I believe in Mr. Bai's recommendation."
Mo Song: "I exchanged for a mount egg, and I still have one left in my pet column, which is just right for it. In fact, there is not much difference between a mount and a pet. It can also be used as a ride, so I think it is more cost-effective than a pet egg~"
Afterwards, others also took the initiative to announce their gains, and seeing the satisfied looks on everyone’s faces, it was clear that they had successfully snatched away the vast majority of players, bringing this event to a perfect end.
As expected, everyone redeemed the surprise gift package. Although they did not have much demand for new game spots, they had a certain obsession with gambling on luck. They always had a premonition that they would be the lucky one, and then spent 1,000 points without hesitation.
"Master, what props did you exchange?" Song Xinran ran over and asked Bai Li.
Now the only thing missing is Master and... um, Grandmaster (?) who didn't say what they changed.
Thinking of this, Song Xinran looked at Wen Xingyao guiltily, wondering if people would be upset if he said the word "Master" on the spot.
Wen Xingyao was focused on Bai Li's reaction and didn't notice Song Xinran's little look.
Bai Li said: "I exchanged for the evolution liquid. This is an item I came up with on the spur of the moment. I'll try it out first to see the effect!" As for the trial object, he only has one pet, the panda cub, so who else can he choose if not this one?
I wonder what the evolved panda cubs will look like?
Everyone was silent, thinking that this game maker was too naughty, taking the lead in making fun of people.
As soon as Bai Li finished speaking, Wen Xingyao naturally took over: "I also exchanged for evolutionary fluid. I have enough points, so I directly exchanged for two."
Everyone was silent again. They didn't expect there was a werewolf here. Not only did he have a lot of points, but his hand speed was also super fast. What else could they do? They had no choice but to envy him.
However, what they didn't know was that Wen Xingyao actually had his own troubles. He owned three pets, but only had two bottles of evolution liquid. This meant that one of the pets would not be able to evolve, and he would have to wait at least a month to see if there would be any evolution liquid available to exchange in next month's event.
If his thoughts were heard by others, he would probably be beaten up (even if they couldn't beat him). They know you are good and a master, but you don't have to show off like that!
At this time, the game forum was almost completely dominated by the players of "Your Ran Tian Ju". The posts on the first 50 pages were all talking about what props rewards they had redeemed with their points.
One of the posts, titled "Is the nutrient solution worth exchanging?", dominated the top spot.
The poster made the post ten minutes before the official opening of the exchange. According to him, he has not really made up his mind whether to use the 200 points to exchange for nutrient solution, so he asked other players and netizens for their opinions.
"Tangjiabao's most beautiful snails: Why hesitate? We can't even change it if we want to! I remember this new nutrient solution has five flavors, and there are only 5,000 sets of each flavor. Such a small amount will definitely be snapped up in minutes. Why are you still hesitating?"
"Ye Qiuyuan: If it were me, I wouldn't change it. Don't forget, all the new flavors developed by Wei Gu Foods this year have failed miserably. I'm afraid they will disappoint the data that Li Li provided them. It doesn't seem cost-effective to redeem with points now. I'm really curious if the OP can just buy it after they officially start selling it!"
"I want nutrient solution: You don't want it, but I do! How about this, 200 points in the game can be exchanged for a set, and I will buy them for 200 star points in real life. I don't have any other intentions, I just want to collect peripherals from "Your Farm"..."
“Mr. Daydream: Hahahaha! The person above is going to make me die of laughter. When did the nutrient solution become a peripheral product of “Lourish Farmhouse”? At most, they have a cooperative relationship with us Li Li! But I think the poster can still try another group. It’s only 200 points anyway… I decided to try the watermelon flavor!”
"Jiujiu: Hehe, we don't need to change. I just received a system notification that each of the 50 players who entered the finals will receive a set of nutrient solution in five flavors~ Li Li is so nice. She directly solved my choice difficulty!"
After that, more gamers appeared in the post. Some of them planned to change a group to try, while others planned to wait and see. According to statistics from enthusiastic people, the number of the former is far less than the latter, and there are quite a few players who gave up this physical prop.
Even the poster who posted this message decided to give up under the latter's advice and use the 200 points saved to exchange for other more valuable items.
Time slowly came to 0:00 on the 18th. The forum was quiet for several minutes, and this most discussed post was pushed up by other game-related posts.
However, this situation only lasted for two minutes. The dumbfounded players who wanted to exchange for nutrient solution but failed to grab it before others returned to this post and raised the most severe question after posting a large number of question marks:
"Is this what you said about not going to exchange? Twenty-five thousand sets of nutrient solution were all snatched up in just a few seconds! We who really wanted it got nothing. You guys are really heartless!"
Following closely behind were a lot of mentions from gamers who had previously said in their posts that they would not exchange for nutrient solution.
If those who were tagged did not speak out again or indicated that they did not make the exchange, the matter would be almost over.
However, the interstellar space is so vast that there are always some interstellar people who have nothing to do and like to show off. Not only did they speak out, they also went so far as to post screenshots of their successful redemption.
"Oops, my hand slipped accidentally. [A set of milk tea flavored nutrient solution]"
"Well... I just tried to see if I could get it, and it turned out that I could. [Two sets of cucumber-flavored nutrient solution]"
"You really believe that we are not interested in what we say we don't want. All's fair in war, understand? [One set of each of the five flavors]"
“…………”
In order to trick people into giving up exchanging nutrient solution, these people really do everything they can. I guess they have spent all their life's efforts on this.
The netizens who were watching the post took a few minutes to understand what happened. They all laughed like pigs, then read the post carefully from beginning to end, and nodded to indicate that this drama was even more exciting than the palace fight!
At the same time, many employees of Lei Bao and "Wei Gu Food" were also paying attention to the exchange of their company's new nutrient solution. They found that the nutrient solution was sold out in just a few seconds and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They were worried that the promotion would not make a splash this time, and consumers would not have any expectations for the nutrient solution. Even if it was officially launched, it would take a long time for word of mouth to explode. Now it is good. Before the nutrient solution is launched, many people have already known about it and are discussing it enthusiastically.
After the exchange result came out, Lei Bao laughed a few times, then lowered his head and stroked the mount egg in his arms like a pervert. Haha, in a dozen days, he will also be a person with a means of transportation in the game!
Yu Xiaoyue and Qiao Fengying, who were rewarded with game places by Lei Bao, went offline specifically and drank several bottles of new nutrient solution produced by their company. When the refreshing cucumber flavor and sweet watermelon flavor burst in their mouths, the two people who lived under the same roof let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
The taste of this nutrient solution will definitely surprise these players!
In the forum, players who failed to grab the nutrient solution cried bitterly, but it was of no avail. They could only place their hopes on the "lucky gift pack" that everyone could redeem for 10 of the nutrient solution.
There are 10 million "Lucky Gift Packs". The system will automatically calculate the number of redeemed ones. 90 game places will only be generated from the redeemed gift packs. After all, the current number of players has not yet reached the real one million.
A player only has 10 chances, which is not too many, but not too few either. However, facing the ten big gift packs in front of them, the players were timid.
Modupi, Sanyue, Yuexun and Yunyi were sitting around a square table, their respective gift bags were neatly placed on the edge of the table.
As he rubbed his belly, he still remembered how his vegetable basket had been snatched away by these guys many times, so his tone of voice couldn't help but sound sarcastic.
"How about Yunyi, you open it first? You got the most points among us, and you were lucky enough to get a mount egg. Now is your best time, don't miss this opportunity."
Yun Yi immediately made a tactical retreat: "No way, no way, my luck is just average, Sanyue and Yue Xun also got the pet eggs, you guys go first!"
The two people whose names were called shook their heads like rattles and said modestly: "Our luck has been used up when we were grabbing the props. Let's save up a little more, haha, let's save up a little more!" Then, they all looked at Touching Belly, the only one in the audience who didn't grab any eggs.
Touching the belly: "..."Okay, I get it, I brought this upon myself.
The round of shirking of responsibilities was destined to become a cycle, and no one present wanted to be the first to open the gift package. Finally, after discussion, they decided to use the spoon handle pointing method, placing a spoon in the middle of the table, turning the spoon handle to make it rotate, and then whoever the handle points to will open the gift package first.
This cycle continues until everyone has opened their gift packs.
Yunyi ran to the kitchen, found the largest spoon, and placed it in the middle of the table. The four of them looked at the spoon and swallowed unconsciously, as if the direction pointed by the spoon was the correct direction of their lives.
"Then I'll turn first. Whoever it's my turn will make the next turn." Yun Yi said.
The other three had no objection, and the matter was happily decided.
However, when Yunyi's fingers were about to touch the spoon handle, Sanyue suddenly stood up and shouted, "Wait! Let me wash my hands first!"
After saying that, she hurried to wash her hands. Along with the sound of water came her intermittent voice: "Hey, wash your hands. Maybe you can wash away the black energy on your hands and turn them into a pair of little red hands!"
Three people: "..."
Okay, let’s line up and wash our hands first.
The first one to turn was Yue Xun. He resigned himself to picking the big gift bag placed in the front. After pulling out the ribbon, the props inside filled the entire table, but the thing they were most looking forward to was missing.
But this is normal. How can such a precious game spot be drawn at once? They still have 39 gift packs and there will be chances later.
After a few seconds, Yue Xun looked at the pile of props. While reaching out to pick them up and putting them into his backpack, he reported their names and functions.
"Coffee tree seeds, wow, this is a good thing. I remember that the village chief didn't sell them. But it's a pity that they can't be planted as fruit trees. They can only be planted in the ground and can be harvested four times in total."
"Pet rations, suitable for all pets. Feeding pets can increase pet favorability by 5 points."
"Hair dye - green, a disposable item that can change the color of your hair. Hey, who likes green hair..."
"The prospecting device has a 24-hour use time and can detect more precious and rare ores and gems in the mine. Um... it's a pity that I haven't learned the mining life skill. If you want it, we can exchange it when the time comes~"
"Your front door is often open. Hey, what is this? After using it, you can enter other players' yards without permission and have all the operating rights to the land belonging to the yard. However, it only lasts for 30 seconds and can be used 30 times in total. Oh, I know what it is used for!"
Yue Xun quickly guessed the purpose of this item. Isn't it a derivative of this event? When the event is over, players with this item can enter other people's yards and secretly pick their fruits when they are not paying attention! Hey, this is the real-life version of stealing vegetables. He loves it!
As he laughed, he looked at his three friends with ill intent. In the past three days, they had also snatched a lot of vegetables from him...
Now, the chance for revenge is right in front of him. It depends on whether he can seize it~
The people who were touching their belly were startled by Yue Xun's smile, and soon connected what he said with his reaction. Looking at the palm-sized prop that looked like a houseplate and said "Your door is always open", they all showed astonished expressions.
Such a prop is bound to cause a bloody storm in all the villages. They firmly believe it!
By the way, they also want such fun props!
I hope this item is a regular item, the kind that has a high chance of being unpacked from a gift pack!
Five different props were revealed from one gift package, and each one was not useless. Seeing this, the four people praised Bai Li for being generous. They thought that the 100 points were totally worth it, and then they participated more enthusiastically in the activity of turning the spoon to open the gift packages.
In the spacious and bright room, there were occasional exclamations and sighs of regret from several people. In addition to the activity-derived prop "Your door is always open", the four people also drew a prop called "Close the door and let the dog out". The use of this prop is that after the yard is opened, if a stranger enters the yard to steal vegetables, as long as their hands touch the edge of the crops, they will feel a pain on their buttocks as if they were bitten by a dog. If they insist on stealing vegetables, the pain will last for a full five minutes. If they give up and exit halfway, the pain will disappear quickly.
This is a time-limited prop, and each one can only be used for 24 hours, which means that the vegetables in the fields will not be stolen too much within 24 hours.
"Aha! I have drawn 7 vegetable thieves and 8 dog releasers. Come on if you are brave. I am not afraid of you!" March was worthy of being the first to wash his hands. With the outburst of the little red hand, he became the biggest winner of the whole game.
She had already made up her mind that if anyone dared to come to her house to steal vegetables, she would turn on the "close the door and let the dogs out" strategy, freeing her hands. Then, with her 210 chances to steal vegetables, she would go to those people's homes one by one. If one chance was not enough, she would steal twice, or even three times. She would definitely steal all the vegetables in people's fields.
The other three people got fewer of the two props than March, and they said angrily, "Okay, okay, we'll let you go, and we'll go find other people!"
At the same time, other players also used their own metaphysical methods in order to open the "lucky gift packs" they exchanged.
