Chapter 193 Jinjiang Exclusive
Lu Xuan skipped over the points reward and the space ring, and his eyes were directly fixed on the 'holographic helmet'.
According to the product introduction, the holographic helmet is a convenient device for playing Star Alliance holographic games. It comes with all the popular Star Alliance holographic games. You can enter the holographic world and play freely by connecting with mental power.
The advantage is that it is small in size and portable, so you can use it whenever you go out.
The disadvantage is that the maximum online time is only 20 hours.
According to the audience, the Star Alliance also has a holographic game cabin that looks a bit like a medical cabin. After injecting special nutrient solution, it can provide players with the nutrition they need to survive for seven days.
If someone from outside continuously provides nutrient solution, the time can be extended to one to three months.
If you want to stay online longer, you can buy a more advanced gaming cabin with massage function to avoid problems such as muscle atrophy.
It is said that high-end gaming cabins can be kept online for three years without any problems.
It is theoretically possible to last longer, but no one in the Star Alliance has tried it yet, or those who have tried it have not specifically announced it.
However, Lu Xuan does not have a game cabin now, nor has he unlocked purchasing permissions, so he doesn't need to think too much about it for the time being.
Lu Xuan took out the holographic helmet and looked at it.
The color of the helmet is very similar to the first aircraft purchased. It is silver-white in color. The front has the same lenses as the holographic glasses used in training equipment. The shape is a bit like a motorcycle helmet, but the lines are smoother and more technological.
Lu Xuan weighed the helmet, but didn't rush to put it on. Instead, he asked the audience, "Holographic games require an internet connection to play, right? I can't connect to the Star Alliance, so this helmet is useless."
[If you can't connect to the Star Network, you can still play offline! ]
[Doesn't the streamer have a signal tower? He can connect to the local network. If he buys a few more helmets and sells them to others, he can then compete with other players in this plane.]
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Play games with people from this dimension?
It's not fun to play games with fewer people, and it's not easy to get enough people to play.
Lu Xuan looked at the barrage, and his mind moved. He opened the mall and searched for keywords, and found that the purchase permission for the holographic helmet had been unlocked.
The price is not expensive. An ordinary holographic helmet only costs 10,000 points, while a customized one with a cooler appearance costs between 20,000 and 100,000 points.
The helmet awarded as an achievement reward is a style worth 50,000 points.
Lu Xuan looked at all styles of holographic helmets and searched for holographic game cabins.
As expected, it is still unlocked and the price is unknown.
However, viewers mentioned in the barrage that the price of the game cabin is ten to twenty times that of the holographic helmet, which is roughly between 200,000 and 1 million.
Moreover, the energy consumed by the gaming cabin and the price of the special nutrient solution are not cheap.
Generally speaking, it is a high-end product that only rich people can afford. Ordinary people in the Star Alliance still use holographic helmets.
After getting a general understanding, Lu Xuan put on a holographic helmet and used his mental power to connect to the holographic world.
The first time you enter the holographic world, there will be a newcomer navigation. Lu Xuan quickly understood the general rules based on the navigation.
First of all, all users, regardless of their planet, will enter the same community after entering the holographic world.
The community can accommodate hundreds of millions of people online at the same time, and therefore its scale is infinite.
If relatives or friends from different planets want to meet in the holographic world, they can be teleported there by providing the coordinates and paying a certain fee. The teleportation fee within the same planet is only one hundred star coins.
Because Lu Xuan is not a member of the Star Alliance, the intelligent navigation automatically changed his currency to points, which means that ten points are required for transmission.
The price may increase several times depending on the distance between different planets, but the most remote planet will cost no more than 100 points to be teleported to the central star field.
If you really don't want to spend your points, you can directly make an appointment with the other party in a specific game.
Despite this, the existence of holographic communities still greatly facilitates long-distance communication.
If Lu Xuan sells holographic helmets in large quantities to people in this dimension, they will be able to communicate face to face in the holographic world no matter how far apart they are, which is very convenient.
Lu Xuan murmured: "No wonder the helmet is not called a gaming helmet, but a holographic helmet."
Because the holographic world is not only for playing games, it can also be used for socializing and entertainment.
Most of the merchants in the Star Alliance have stores in the holographic world, but because Lu Xuan cannot connect to the star network, all the stores in the community are closed and look empty.
In addition, all users who enter will automatically receive a free private lounge, which is an independent space for the user. They can invite relatives and friends to enter, and uninvited people cannot be forced to enter.
The initial lounge is only ten square meters and is empty, requiring users to fill it up themselves.
If you want to expand the area or do interior decoration, you can click on the decoration function to purchase the corresponding items.
The price per square meter is increased by 1,000 points, and the interior decoration includes wallpaper, furniture, projection screen, etc.
Wallpaper and ordinary tables and chairs are free, and the rest are charged.
The price is not expensive, generally one percent to one tenth of the price of the real thing, ranging from a few dozen points to thousands of points.
The projection screen can be used to watch movies, listen to music, view game footage of players who are allowed to spectate in various games, and live broadcast footage of competitions held in certain games.
Movies and music are copyrighted and require a fee to watch. Player game footage and competition footage may be charged or free depending on the specific situation.
In addition to normal house interior decoration, the lounge can also be transformed into a natural environment similar to that in training equipment, as well as a space environment.
This type of decoration is relatively expensive. Even those that are not particularly realistic require thousands of points, while others generally cost several thousand or even tens of thousands. The larger the lounge area, the more expensive it is.
Lu Xuan felt that the interior of a lounge alone was enough to keep those who liked dress-up obsessed for a while.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan looked around the decoration mall, tapped his fingers on it, and bought all the wallpapers and furniture that looked good in one go. He also bought hundreds of natural exteriors, and spent hundreds of thousands of points casually.
After that, I randomly picked a forest landscape and the matching furniture and projection screen, installed them, and then sat on the comfortable leather sofa and opened the game catalog.
Star Alliance games are mainly divided into three categories.
Casual games, combat games, and puzzle games.
Casual games include farming games, board games, dress-up games, puzzle games, and racing games;
Fighting games include battle royale games, MOBA games, space combat games, and RPG games that require leveling up and killing monsters (mutated plants and animals) to follow the storyline.
Decoding brain-burning games include maze games, supernatural games, escape room games, etc.
In short, the game types are much richer than the all-combat games Lu Xuan had expected.
By the time Lu Xuan had finished reading the introductions to some of the games that interested him, the time was already approaching midnight.
Lu Xuan, who originally planned to choose one of them to play, saw that it was so late, thought about it and gave up the idea of playing the game immediately.
After exiting the holographic world, he opened the system mall and spent more than four million points to buy 150 holographic helmets based on the number of people in the village.
If the Star Alliance only had combat games above R18, Lu Xuan might only buy a hundred or so copies for the adults in the village.
Since there are casual games, children should also have some.
One hundred of them are basic models with ordinary appearance, and the remaining dozens of sets are mid-priced and mid-to-high-end priced. The villagers will be able to choose by themselves when the time comes.
Buy ten sets of the most expensive ones for your family, and the rest are also available for those who like high-end products.
·
The day after achieving the achievement, we entered the final peak of the extreme cold season, with the temperature dropping to minus sixty degrees Celsius, and the same temperature would last for ten days.
The villagers were wearing upgraded biological suits, so the temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius was nothing to them.
Rather than temperature changes, the grain harvested today is their focus.
The seeds used for the third batch of crops were all improved by Lu Xuan to have a higher yield. Therefore, even if a small part of them were damaged in the beast attack and had to be replanted, the total yield this time still set a new record, reaching 500,000 jin.
Lu Xuan and the public supplies each took 100,000 kilograms, and the rest belonged to the villagers.
Each family can get 4,500 to 7,500 kilograms depending on the area of the farmland.
Including the last harvest, the smallest family had saved 8,000 kilograms of grain, and the largest family had saved up up to 12,000 kilograms.
During the rainy season, everyone gradually paid off a lot of their debts for evolutionary fluid in advance, and after this harvest, they were almost able to pay it off.
Well, it’s only limited to families with small population.
Families like the Li and Zhang families have a lot of people, and supplies are piled up like mountains at home, but the amount of grain harvested each time is limited, and the cost of the evolution liquid cannot be settled with other supplies, so it is not easy to pay it off in advance even if you want to.
Even if we use the large amount of meat we have stockpiled this time to exchange for more of the food allocated to public supplies, we can only repay about 70% at most.
The remaining 30% can only be repaid next year.
Even so, Lu Xuan still earned more than 300,000 kilograms of grain.
Including the 100,000 kilograms that originally belonged to him, 80% of the harvest this time went into his hands.
[Ah, so the villagers worked so hard, but in the end, it all benefited the anchor? ]
[No, no, no, to be more precise, these food streamers will also be recycled back to the Star Alliance. The biggest winner is the Star Alliance!]
[The Star Alliance will also grow the food they get and then sell it to us, so we are the real winners!]
[Actually, the villagers didn't lose out either; they simply prepaid the evolution fluid.]
However, Lu Xuan’s recent gains are far more than that.
Yunlu Village encountered a tide of beasts. How could the Huo family army, which was not far away from them, be spared?
Afterwards, Lu Xuan contacted Huo Tiankuo and learned that the Huo family army was also attacked by a group of beasts. The scale was much larger than usual, but not as exaggerated as that in Yunlu Village.
After the Huo family army harvested grain last time, in addition to replacing ten bottles of evolution liquid with public supplies, Huo Tiankuo and Lu Xuan also replaced a lot of hypnotic bullets and matching gas masks in order to minimize casualties in the beast attack.
Throwing hypnotic bombs does not require any strong strength, except for some throwing ability.
When the beast tide came, the Huo family army and other young and strong men worked together. They were outnumbered and the size of the beast tide was less than one-third of Yunlu Village. In the end, it took less than two hours to end the battle.
About a hundred people were injured, but no one died. The harvest was also very considerable, with nearly four million kilograms of meat obtained.
One million and two hundred thousand jin of public supplies were left behind, and the rest were distributed according to the rules.
The old, young, women and children received more than 600 kilograms, the young and strong received more than 600 kilograms, and the personal soldiers each received more than 1,200 kilograms!
After confirming that there would be no more beast attacks in the short term, Huo Tiankuo brought his men to Yunlu Village and conducted a large-scale transaction with Lu Xuan.
He replaced the used hypnotic bullets with a new batch, and also generously replaced 30 bottles of evolution liquid at once, almost clearing out Lu Xuan's inventory.
Originally, Huo Tiankuo had exchanged for 15 of them, which exceeded the initial quota. However, Huo Tiankuo was willing to "pay more" and pay an additional 30% of the supplies, and also said that it was an advance payment for the next three months.
Lu Xuan thought about it and agreed.
The ten evolutionary fluids from three days ago gave the Huo family army five more psychics, including two strength-enhancing ones, one speed-enhancing one, and one fire and earth-type ones.
After using up the 30 this time, the Huo family army should be able to have a dozen more people with special abilities.
In addition to the evolution liquid, Huo Tiankuo also bought an additional 100,000 kilograms of food, nutritional supplements, salt, sugar, medicines and other strategic materials, as well as dozens of space rings and bracelets of different capacities, also weighing 100,000 kilograms.
The audience was quite surprised that Huo Tiankuo bought so much space.
Even if a 1,000 cubic meter space is not enough to hold their supplies, there is no need to buy so much at once. Can they use it all?
It's so hard to get so much meat at once, why not stock up?
Lu Xuan asked, "How do you know he bought it for his own use?"
Although Huo Tiankuo did not say it explicitly, he speculated that the extra space was most likely the part that Huo Tiankuo planned to hand over to the court after contacting the capital in the future.
Huo Tiankuo is a general after all. It is impossible for him to take all the benefits for himself. If he does that, he will be waiting to be liquidated.
[Tsk, it's true that ancient feudal society was so evil. Even if you get something, you still have to pay the price.]
[So the people above were able to take the spoils of war that the Huo family army had fought so hard for, without doing anything? They're really good at taking advantage!]
[Ahhh, I feel so bad for Huo Tiankuo! Why bother with that? You've already awakened your powers, why not just rise up and become emperor yourself? That way, you can keep all the benefits for yourself.]
Huo Tiankuo has such a high reputation among the people. Given his character, it's unlikely he would rebel unless his superiors were a tyrant or a weak ruler.
[The Star Alliance is still better. Although new resources need to be turned in when they are discovered, the first discoverer gets a significant portion.]
If Huo Tiankuo had kept too much, he might have been feared by the higher-ups.
[In fact, now that he has lightning powers, no matter what he does, he will inevitably be feared.]
The audience then had another heated discussion about this point, which also referred to many other live broadcasts with ancient backgrounds that they had seen, and all kinds of ideas about power struggles popped up.
Lu Xuan: “…” This is not a live broadcast room for political intrigues, understand?
Lu Xuan didn't care what situation Huo Tiankuo would face in the future or what his relationship with the new court would be like after the disaster.
All he needed to know was that Huo Tiankuo could allow him to earn one million kilograms of meat at one time.
As a trading object, this alone is enough.
This is just the part about bulk transactions.
How can the victims not spend money when they suddenly earn so much meat?
It is very normal to replace the ordinary biological suit with an upgraded one, or to grit your teeth and buy a small space.
Because there was so much meat, many disaster victims couldn't even afford the smallest 5 cubic meters of space.
Most of them bought 10 cubic meters of space, and the personal soldiers mainly bought 50 cubic meters. A small number of young and strong people also gritted their teeth and chose to buy 50 cubic meters.
One-third of the entire camp has bought space.
The rest that were not bought were either because we couldn’t bear to part with them or because they were shared with other families. Naturally, one space is enough for the whole family.
The space and biological clothes opened from the blind box were far from enough to sell, so Lu Xuan bought hundreds of them from the system mall at the original price to meet the needs of the victims.
The total cost was less than five million yuan, and 700,000 kilograms of meat were obtained.
Because there were so many people buying, Huo Tiankuo did not deliberately limit the number of people who could own the space.
The disaster victims were not stupid. They were wealthy and everyone had bought a few hypnotic bullets for self-defense. Outsiders could not do anything to them easily.
Lu Xuan collected the 1.7 million kilograms of meat given by the Huo family army and the 400,000 kilograms of grain obtained from the village, and made another profit of 520 million.
·
After a new batch of grain was planted, the village started a new round of processing work.
It has to be processed, there is really too much meat and it takes up too much space.
Also, because the quantity is too large, even processing half of it requires a lot of manpower and time.
Among them, the Lu family is the worst.
At first, Lu Qing, Lu Chen and others didn't know that Lu Xuan had recycled most of the meat.
Lu Qing also sighed, "Five million kilograms of meat, it might take a month to process them all."
Lu Chen even shook his head and sighed in a pretentious manner, "There's only four of us eating this much meat. Even if we eat meat every day from now on, we won't be able to finish it all even if we grow old."
Lu Xuan curled his lips and said, "There's not that much meat. I've already exchanged most of it for the gods."
"Huh?" Lu Qing and Lei Yan looked surprised. "Don't immortals take nutritional supplements? Do they also need meat?"
Lu Xuan said, "The immortals take nutritional supplements because there is little edible meat in the immortal world. Besides, if I don't trade meat to them, how can I produce so many useful treasures?"
The family suddenly realized.
That’s right.
It is impossible for Lu Xuan to create things out of thin air. The more good things he takes out, the more supplies he will provide to the gods.
Normally, Lu Xuan would not deliberately emphasize this point, but they almost forgot such an important point.
This also explains why, although the space bracelet on Lu Xuan did not increase in size, it could still hold any amount of supplies he harvested.
It turns out that the bulk of the money was given to the gods!
"So, more than five million pounds, so much meat, is all gone?" Lu Chen, who was pretending just now, couldn't help but cover his chest with his little hands, looking shocked.
Lu Xuan was amused. "Is five million jin a lot? Compared to the treasure I want most, this amount of supplies is far from enough."
"What!?" Lu Qing and his wife were shocked again.
What kind of rare treasure does Lu Xuan want that cannot be exchanged for so much meat?
Lu Chen became more and more shaky after hearing this, and said tremblingly: "Then can our family still eat meat in the future?"
It’s not possible that while other people are eating meat every meal, their family has to live frugally, right?
Lei Yan thought of his share of more than 60,000 kilograms still in his hands. Just as he was about to speak to comfort him, he heard Lu Xuan smile and said, "Don't worry, you won't starve. I didn't give it all away. I kept some."
Lu Chen looked nervous: "A little? How much is that?" Is it enough to eat?
Lu Xuan said slowly: "Five hundred thousand jin."
Most of them are beef, which is hard to find in normal times, and there are also some venison, long-horned sheep meat, etc.
The Lu family: “!!!” Isn’t this a lot left?
Lu Chen patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was enough meat to eat.
The issue of eating meat has been resolved, and the topic has returned to the starting point.
Lu Qing: "Five hundred thousand kilograms is still not a small amount, and processing it will probably be quite time-consuming."
Lei Yan: "We must keep more fresh meat. We can't process it all. Ah Xuan, how much are you going to process? How many people should we hire?"
Lu Xuan: "We'll process 100,000 kilograms first. As for hiring helpers... maybe 200 people."
In order to save time, others mainly boiled the meat oil, marinated it with salt to make simple bacon, and made meatballs.
But he was unwilling to compromise.
In addition to the common processed products mentioned above, there are ham, braised meat, bacon, jerky, dried meat, meat floss, meat sauce, and meat sauce. We don’t intend to miss anything that can be made.
As the processing steps become more complicated, the time required will naturally increase exponentially.
The only way to improve efficiency is to increase manpower.
Two hundred people, ten days should be enough.
…
Other families in the village also hired a lot of helpers. In the end, the whole village hired a total of 500 helpers.
There were so many people and even more meat that the processing shed couldn't hold it all, so everyone just started working outside in a hurry.
Fortunately, the snow stopped completely after the beast tide, and there will be no more snow in the future. Everyone is wearing upgraded biological clothing and is not afraid of the cold.
More than a dozen large meat grinders and hundreds of iron pots that Lu Xuan had just made using his gold-based supernatural powers were set up on the open space outside the village. They were either boiling large amounts of lard or frying pots full of various meatballs. The scene looked incredibly spectacular.
With the help of machines, Lu Xuan, who had not yet fully recovered from his exhaustion, did not use his wind-based ability to help grind the meat as before, but sat aside to produce the spices that were not enough.
While the helpers were busy, the villagers were also busy.
They don't mess with the meat, they mess with the fur.
The beast tide left them with more than 20,000 intact hides and damaged but barely usable hides.
Lu Xuan took away 10,000 tickets, while the others got as few as 40 and as many as 200 to 300.
With so much leather, you can make a lot of things with it.
For example, Su Ying made several extra-large blankets with wool, one of which was spread in the living room, and the other in her and Xiong Mao's room. The soft and pure white carpet looked so luxurious.
There is also one in Xiong Dabao’s room, but it is made of gray rabbit fur.
The white one turned black in less than two days of use. It was such a waste of money.
After seeing Su Ying's approach, many other female family members were inspired to follow suit. For a time, the interior decoration of many families' homes became more upscale.
In addition to wool carpets, we also make scarves, shawls, capes, etc. made of fox fur and rabbit fur.
Deerskin is mainly used to make boots, and cowhide is used to make bags. Each item is made in more than one piece, and in more than one style. The specific style is designed with the help of a garment machine.
The female members of the family also specially took out the best and softest parts of the processed leather and made a separate batch of top-quality goods, which they prepared to keep as collections, as heirlooms, or as betrothal gifts or dowries when someone in the family got married.
After the fur products were made, many people couldn't wait to put on the clothes.
With the help of garment-making machines, these clothes and items would not look crude at all even in modern times. For a time, the whole Yunlu Village was full of wealth.
Miao Jinfeng looked at the younger generations in her family, all wearing newly made leather boots and carrying exquisite handbags, and couldn't help but sigh to Li Tie, "I used to think the beast tide would bring us disaster, but now it seems like it's clearly bringing us wealth."
Millions of kilograms of meat and at least dozens of leather products for every household, isn’t that a huge fortune?
Li Tie was also touching the new carpet made by his helpers. He glanced at Miao Jinfeng and said deliberately, "Then can you please ask God to send us another batch?"
Miao Jinfeng's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately changed her tone: "What do you mean another batch? Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense!"
This time they solved the problem without anyone getting hurt, but who can guarantee that there won’t be any accidents every time?
This one incident was terrifying enough, and if it happened again, she would probably be scared to death.
Li Tie said with a smile: "Don't worry, there shouldn't be any more."
During the past few days, Lu Xuan and Li Jing would go out on patrol every day to determine the movements of wild animals, and the night watchmen would also observe the situation at night.
After several days, it has been basically confirmed that the Red Moon and the Beast Attack have completely disappeared.
After confirming that there were no more herds of animals in the wild, the hunting team immediately resumed winter hunting and notified the Huo family army to join in.
In order to make up for the losses, he went out early and came back late every day for five consecutive days, almost making up for all the profits he should have made in the previous month.
However, for the helpers who had finally finished processing most of the meat, the new fish meat really made them feel both happy and sad.
The peak of the extreme cold, when we should have stayed at home, passed quickly as we worked day and night.
When the helpers finally finished processing all the meat and fish, the sky that had been dark for more than a month finally dissipated, and rays of light cut through the dark night sky and shone on the earth again.
The long polar night is finally over.
