After Xu Piao agreed to the robot's request to replenish energy, he saw him walk to the holographic game cabin and sit down. He pressed his only intact hand on an instrument interface connected to the holographic cabin, and then he did not move.
So replenishing energy = charging, right?
Xu Piao looked at the robot for a while and no longer paid attention to it. After turning on the light brain, she saw that the normal nutritional supplements she bought on the Star Network yesterday had arrived, and the pick-up location was displayed.
——In fact, for residents of other planets, online shopping on the Star Network is not that troublesome, because in the technologically advanced star era, there is a very convenient instrument called [Small Wormhole Receiver], which is priced at 100,000 Alliance Coins and is basically a must-have for every household. As long as the buyer and seller have a small wormhole receiver, the seller puts the goods into this instrument and enters the address, and the buyer can receive it immediately.
With this thing, people basically don’t need to go out. This device can be used for express delivery, takeout… Oh no, there is no takeout in the interstellar world. Anyway, no matter what, you can get it done without leaving home.
However, this kind of thing is a prohibited item on a third-class planet and cannot be privately owned.
Xu Piao had just eaten a bag of nutritional supplements before going to bed last night, so she wasn't hungry yet. However, when she saw the message "Please take it away as soon as possible", she decided to go out and get the nutritional supplements she had bought.
But when she went out, she took another look at 079 who was sitting there with his eyes closed and charging. She was a little worried about leaving a strange robot alone in her residence. Although she didn't quite understand the settings of robots in this world, Xu Piao still intuitively felt that this 079 was a bit strange.
However, just when Xu Piao's gaze fell on 079, the white-haired and black-skinned robot suddenly opened its eyes, left the charging port and walked towards her.
Xu Piao subconsciously kept a distance when the tall robot approached.
079 didn't make any unnecessary movements, simply watching her quietly. His intact arm and the broken arm, revealing the metal skeleton, hung naturally, like a docile big dog that would follow her when she went out. "After testing, it's found that it's not safe to go out alone on this planet. Do you need someone to accompany you?"
Of course, Xu Piao actually didn't have a pet like a dog or a cat. He just occasionally petted the old neighbors' dogs and cats when he ran.
"Okay." Xu Piao thought about it and agreed.
It was indeed much safer to have a tall robot following her when she went out. Xu Piao walked towards the pick-up location according to the instructions on the light brain map. As she walked... she saw the burly man with twin ponytails who suddenly appeared yesterday to help her move the things to the scrap yard and then suddenly left.
The burly man with twin ponytails originally wanted to walk over, but when he got closer, he noticed 079 following behind Xu Piao. A very obvious [shock.jpg] suddenly appeared in his eyes as big as copper bells, and then he ran in front of her at an astonishing speed before Xu Piao could react.
079 took a step forward.
"You, found..." The burly man with twin ponytails said to Xu Piao anxiously, stumbling and gesturing, "A new bodyguard?"
The nervous and stumbling tone of his voice was in stark contrast to his ferocious expression.
"Probably..." Xu Piao said hesitantly, and found that things seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
Who knew that after Xu Piao answered, the burly man with twin ponytails started crying like a child, "Wow, I'm starving!"
This person had a loud and powerful voice, and when he cried like this, the sound could be heard from far away. Many people looked out of the windows on the roadside to watch.
"No, no, no! I didn't find a new bodyguard!" Xu Piao quickly changed his words and took a lot of effort to calm the man down.
079 retreated silently when the burly man with twin ponytails started crying.
While comforting him, Xu Piao learned that the burly man with twin ponytails was named Ajin, and that he was a relatively famous person on the third-class planet. He had the intelligence of an eight to ten-year-old child, but he looked ferocious and extremely strong. Anyone could be coaxed into doing something as long as they gave him food.
As for the original owner, she was attracted by Ajin's personality that he could be coaxed into doing things as long as she gave him food, so she made an agreement with Ajin to give him a certain amount of nutritional supplements every month. In exchange, Ajin would protect her safety every time she went out and help her move things. There were several times when thieves targeted her things, but they were chased away by Ajin.
"Ajin, do you remember that 'we' agreed on a certain date for me to give you the nutritional supplements and how many nutritional supplements I would give you per month?" Xu Piao asked after a little thought.
"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... there are still three days!" Ah Jin counted on his fingers, "Give me fifteen!"
Three days later, that should be the middle of the month, enough nutrients for him to last half a month. Xu Piao had an idea in mind, "Then come to me in three days as usual, and I will give you this month's nutrients."
"He is really not the new bodyguard?" Ajin looked at the quiet robot in confusion.
"Don't worry, it's not."
The big guy with twintails was visibly delighted.
Xu Piao coaxed Ajin away, and then went to pick up the nutritional supplements bought on Star Online and returned to his residence according to the original plan. After returning, he placed an order for some new nutritional supplements.
After buying the nutrients, she browsed the page selling beds and found that there were all kinds of beds, such as vine beds, cloud beds, ocean beds, air beds, and of course the simplest triple beds, but the prices... Although they were not unaffordable, for Xu Piao, whose entire net worth was only 150,000 Alliance coins from selling the account minus the amount of money spent on the nutrients, it was still a bit too luxurious.
Although she has high requirements for the quality of life, she is not incapable of living a harder life when she does not have the conditions to enjoy it.
"Don't disturb me later. Save your energy for now. I'll give you time to recharge after I finish work." After Xu Piao made today's arrangements, he explained this to 079. After he nodded in agreement, he entered the holographic game cabin to build today's game.
She originally planned to use the 150,000 yuan she got from selling the account to buy 30 bottles of nutritional supplements, enough for a month's living expenses, and then invest the rest into game production and purchasing space.
But if robot 079 stays, I don’t know how much electricity it will cost to recharge (energy) every month. As for Ajin, it’s okay. We just need to give him nutritional supplements regularly.
After considering many aspects, Xu Piao still left about 20,000 Alliance coins for emergency use, and invested the remaining 130,000 into game production. He bought a 130-square-meter space and built a small tribal gathering place at the foot of Zhaoyao Mountain.
After players come in, they must be given a place to complete their daily tasks. This tribal gathering place is the novice village that Xu Piao thought of to distribute daily tasks.
After building the tribe, Xu Piao slowly refined the map and scene based on yesterday's work, and fixed some flaws and bugs.
Zhaoyao Mountain is set as a level 1-3 copy. The next nine mountains also use level 3 as a dividing line. In the early stage, you should reach level 30 first. There are exactly ten mountains in progression, namely Qingqiu Mountain, Gui Mountain, Daoguo Mountain, Qianlai Mountain, Fuyu Mountain, Zhu Mountain, Tiandi Mountain, Ling Mountain, and Chongwu Mountain.
Because the mountains were not selected in order, Xu Piao simply put in the famous things in each mountain range based on what each mountain produced.
For example, in Zhaoyao Mountain, there are Zhu Yu, Mi Gu, Xixi, Crystal Gold, Viper, Lu Shu, Xuangui, etc. All plants and minerals can be collected, and the strange beasts have a chance to drop corresponding meat after being defeated.
In order to fully satisfy the players' desire to collect, Xu Piao also divided each kind of animal, plant, mineral, material, etc. into five levels, namely inferior, good, excellent, extreme and absolute. In this way, the achievements in the illustrations look numerous and worthwhile, and are enough for a while.
Xu Piao still remembered the splitting headache he felt after exiting the creative mode yesterday due to excessive mental exhaustion. This time, he was much more cautious when constructing. He did not build a mountain wherever he saw an empty space like he did yesterday. After playing with the maps and scenes in detail, he stopped to feel it for a while, and only started to work on the next thing after he felt that he still had energy left.
Gradually, this space was no longer blank as it was at the beginning, but had the prototype of ancient mountains and seas.
Of course, it is just a prototype. As a game world, this space is still too small. It can barely accommodate a dozen mountains. It is definitely not comparable to the real primitive world. If it is proportional, a Kun is so big that "I don't know how many thousands of miles it is."
Even Kuafu might not be able to take a single step in such a small space.
Fortunately, Xu Piao herself knew that such a card-drawing battle game was actually designed according to the specifications of a 2.5D game. If it was made into a hologram, it would be shocking enough as long as it looked big enough. If that didn't work... well... she would secretly set the players to be mini figures, and then scale everything else up and down in proportion. In this way, they wouldn't notice that they were very small, and the map would appear big enough... What a brilliant idea!
Xu Piao tried to adjust the size ratios of various mountains and strange beasts and found that it was feasible and it didn't seem to consume much mental energy.
…
…
This time, Xu Piao stayed in creative mode longer than the first time.
When she realized that it took too long and came out on her own initiative, she had another headache as expected. However, this time, because she intentionally controlled the amount she used and did not do a lot of creation, but rather fine-tuned the operation, the headache was much lighter than yesterday.
When Xu Piao sat up from the holographic game cabin while rubbing his solar plexus, he opened his eyes and saw the surrounding rooms. He almost thought he had traveled through time again.
