Chapter 194 Jinjiang Exclusive
When the warm sunshine reappeared in the sky, unprecedented cheers broke out in Yunlu Village.
"The sun is out!"
"I finally see the sun again. I thought I would have to live in darkness forever."
"The sun, which I haven't seen for over a month, looks so familiar!"
"If the sun doesn't come out, my bones will feel brittle."
Not only were the women in the family moved to tears, but even the men like Zhang Chengming couldn't help but open their arms and look at the sun above their heads with gratitude on their faces.
Although the holographic sunlight is so realistic that it can be mistaken for the real thing, the villagers already know that it is fake, so they inevitably feel a little disappointed psychologically.
There are indeed a few days of so-called bright days during the polar night, but they are just a dim light, not as bright as the light brought by the blood moon.
Now that they finally saw the real sun, everyone was excited and moved, and many of them hugged each other and jumped for joy.
[Emmmm... Why do I feel like the villagers have gone a little crazy because of the polar night?]
[It's only been a little over a month, is it really that exaggerated? ]
[That's not an exaggeration. In ancient times and in the Star Alliance, many people did enjoy staying home. This wasn't a common practice in the ancient times. How could one not feel suffocated after not seeing the sun for over a month?]
[Before, I saw the villagers using holographic equipment to bask in the sun and thought everything was fine.]
[Fake is fake after all. We eat delicious food online in the live broadcast room every day, but can it really feel the same as eating it in real life?]
[It's definitely different. I won a piece of fruit and some mutant cabbage. I just made some simple hand-shredded cabbage, and it was really different from what I ate in the live studio. It was much more delicious!]
【???】
[Emperor of Europe, get out of here!!! Impotent and furious jpg.]
Lu Xuan held raffles worth tens of thousands of kilograms of supplies every few days. Many viewers received prizes, but there were even more who didn't.
Among the billions of people, only less than one in a thousand have actually won.
You can imagine how unlucky you are if you haven't won after trying so many times. At this time, there are still people showing off that they have won a prize. Who are you criticizing?
While the audience was cursing and swearing about the "internal strife", the villagers had already taken out their own reclining chairs and rocking chairs and placed them in front of their yard gates and sat on them.
After that, I did nothing but focus on basking in the sun.
I dried it on the front side for a while, then turned it over, dried it on the back side, and dried it on the side side, vowing to make up for the loss of more than a month.
When the audience came to their senses, the whole street was filled with people lying in the sun.
Some people even snore in comfort.
Audience: ...
The women were embarrassed to lie down outside, so they would pull up a gauze curtain on the sunny side of the living room or room to cover their bodies without affecting their sunbathing, and then lie down to bask in the sun.
Of course, while enjoying the sunshine, everyone did not forget their business.
When the sun comes out, there is no need for shade cloth in the greenhouse.
The young and strong men quickly took down all the shade cloths to let the new batch of crops bask in the sun, while the women took out the clothes and bedding at home and shook and patted them.
By the time all the greenhouses saw the light of day again, it was already evening.
The sun was still high in the sky and had not set. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the bright clear sky looked almost no different from the morning.
"Is this the polar day?" Because Lu Xuan had reminded everyone in advance, everyone didn't seem too shocked this time.
But it is still very rare.
After all, who has ever seen the sun hanging high in the sky in the evening? It’s incredible to think about it.
What’s even more incredible is, “Is it true that it won’t get dark at night?” Li Tuo’s face was full of curiosity.
Chen Rong asked, "Is there sunshine at night?"
Lu Xuan said calmly, "Stay until midnight and see for yourself."
You know what, they really planned to do so and did it.
There were more than one person in the village who had similar thoughts and actions, and more than half of the people stayed up until nearly midnight.
The rest of them didn’t want to endure it, but they really couldn’t hold on and fell asleep in the middle.
Those who stayed up until midnight actually saw the sun still not setting.
The only difference is that its position has changed from hanging high above the head to being close to the horizon. The golden glow covers the entire horizon, and contrasts with the blue sky, forming a moving picture that makes people reluctant to take their eyes off.
"It's so beautiful!" Lu Qing, who was originally very sleepy, looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her and instantly became energetic.
Lei Yan was also amazed and said: "The scenery at night is even more beautiful than during the day."
The couple stood by the window and admired the view for half an hour, until Lu Qing was too sleepy to open her eyes again and then they prepared to go to bed.
But after lying down, I found that the room was still bright.
The two looked at each other. Lei Yan got up to pull the curtains, but found that during the polar night, it was dark outside regardless of whether the curtains were drawn or not, so the curtains they were using were not blackout curtains.
Even with the curtains drawn, the room was still too bright to sleep.
“…”
In desperation, Lei Yan could only replace the original curtains with the blackout cloth removed from the greenhouse during the day.
The room finally returned to its proper darkness.
When Lei Yan came back and lay down beside her, Lu Qing couldn't help laughing out loud.
"We used to find the polar nights annoying, but now it seems the polar day isn't much better."
Lei Yan agreed with this, who said it wasn't true?
Not seeing the sun is tormenting, and never seeing the sun set doesn't necessarily seem to be a good thing.
For example, when they wake up the next day and open the curtains, they have no idea whether it is day or night unless they check the time on the communicator.
The night watchman was in an even stranger mood.
It's called night watch, but there's no 'night' here.
Fortunately, since there was an accident when the swarm attacked, the night watchmen dared not take it lightly. It was a good thing that it was daylight, at least any accident could be discovered at a glance.
…
The villagers were very excited about the polar day for a few days, but then, as the scorching sun shone day and night, the temperature outside began to rise rapidly at a rate of more than ten degrees per day.
In just a few days, the high and thick layers of snow piled up in the wilderness around the village began to melt rapidly, and the village that was almost completely obscured reappeared in the wilderness. The ground was wet everywhere, and it was muddy when you stepped on it.
Fortunately, the snow evaporated quickly enough so as not to flood the village, but it made travel a little inconvenient.
This is nothing. After the beast tide, everyone was busy processing meat for more than ten days and was really tired. There were no beast attacks during the polar day, and everyone decided to take a good rest while there were no other chain disasters.
As for what to do during the break, Wu Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to take out half of the family's wealth and marry Li Yue home.
The Li family was also very generous. The high-quality agate raw stone dug out from the underground cave was divided into three parts by Li Tie. One part was kept for Miao Jinfeng, one part was given to Wu Yinyin, and the other part was given to Li Yue as a dowry.
In addition, the gold and silver exchanged in Yangshan County, the grain and meat products stored at home, the newly made fur products, the two sets of high-end four-piece bedding that Li Tie specially asked Lu Xuan to exchange, and the betrothal gifts given by Wujia were all put into the newly purchased exquisite space bracelet and given to Li Yue together with the bracelet as a dowry.
In ancient times, weddings were held at dusk.
On the day of the wedding, the sky was as blue as a mirror and the horizon was filled with rosy clouds, which was a beautiful sight.
Chen Rong was so envious that he couldn't help but whisper to Ji Xiuling, "If I had known that the scenery during the polar day was so beautiful, we would have gotten married during the polar day as well."
Getting married with the one you love on a day like this will make you feel so happy even when you look back on it in old age.
Ji Xiuling, holding the child, said helplessly, "Even if we weren't the ones getting married today, you can still see the beautiful scenery. It doesn't make any difference."
Chen Rong poked his daughter's fair cheek and muttered, "How are they the same?"
Then he watched Li Yue, who had just finished the wedding ceremony, being sent back to the bridal chamber in her bright red wedding gown. His eyes turned and he came up with a good idea.
It is indeed impossible to get married in the hall again, but after drinking Wuyang's wedding wine, he can take his wife to the bridal chamber again, which will be just as beautiful!
Ji Xiuling, who had just coaxed her child to sleep when she was pounced upon by Chen Rong, said: "..."
·
After the Wu family finished their wedding, Lu Xuan took out the holographic helmet he had bought a long time ago and explained how to use it.
When the villagers heard that they could play many interesting games by wearing helmets, they immediately became interested.
In order to increase the fun of the game as much as possible and increase the number of players, Lu Xuan did not price the holographic helmet high.
A basic helmet only requires 100 kilograms of mutant food/200 kilograms of meat or fish and other supplies.
Mid-to-high-end customized model, 300 kilograms of mutant food/500 kilograms of meat or fish, top-end version 500 kilograms of food/800 kilograms of meat or fish.
The villagers were now well-off and generously distributed all the more than 100 helmets he had bought.
Even the six top-of-the-line models left after being distributed among family members were divided up by the Xiong Mao couple, and the Chen Rong and Wu Yang couples.
Unlike the training equipment which can only be used for individual or team training, the villagers put on helmets and entered the holographic world as Lu Xuan taught them, and they all appeared in the same community.
The villagers had all used training equipment, so the holographic world was not new to them. However, with hundreds of people gathered together at once, the physical sensation was incredible.
Lu Xuan also told them that each person had a private lounge, how to decorate the lounge, the types of games, etc.
Everyone was amazed when they heard it.
Many married women do not have an independent space at home.
Now, in the holographic world, she suddenly has a lounge that belongs to her alone, a lounge that her man cannot enter without her permission. She feels so excited.
Lu Xuan said: "Points can be used to decorate the lounge and play games. If you need them, you can exchange them with me."
Zhang Chengming asked, "How do I redeem points?"
Lu Xuan: "One pound of mutant food can be exchanged for 100 points. Other meats can be exchanged for 30-100 points per pound depending on the taste."
Everyone seemed to understand, "It sounds like these points aren't expensive."
However, having said that, everyone was still a little hesitant about spending supplies in a holographic world that was different from the real world, and no one immediately approached Lu Xuan to exchange points.
Lu Xuan didn't care either.
If you don’t spend money now, you will have to spend money sooner or later.
When playing games, spending money is inevitable. It is impossible for all the more than 100 people in the village not to spend money.
Lu Xuan first transferred one million points to each of the other three people in his family.
Lu Qing was shocked when she received the reminder: "Why give us so much?"
Three people each contributed one million, which adds up to 30,000 kilograms of grain.
Lu Xuan said, "It's not much. I'll save it for later use. If I can't use up all the points for decorating the lounge, I can use them when playing games. Although I can still play without spending points, it will be more fun if I spend them."
After the three of them had decorated their own lounges to their liking, Lu Xuan let them choose the games they were interested in.
As expected, Lu Qing preferred casual games, farm games, and dress-up games, which all suited her taste.
Lei Yan and Lu Chen are more interested in racing and maze games.
As for fighting games, perhaps because of the shadow left by the beast attack some time ago, the three of them seemed a little reluctant to participate.
Fortunately, after Lu Xuan contacted Zhang Chengming and others, he confirmed that there were still many young and strong people interested in fighting games. At least he didn't have to worry that he could only play single-player games.
By the way, all games have a face-shaping system, and it is completely free.
How many modern gamers are addicted to face-shaping and cannot extricate themselves, let alone the ancient people who had this magical experience for the first time?
Especially the female members, they may not show it in normal times, but they will definitely be dissatisfied with themselves to some extent in private.
With the face-pinching system, you can change as you wish.
Some people want to sculpt a more beautiful face and a better figure for themselves than they already have. Some are confident enough in their looks like Su Ying and want to sculpt an identical face. In short, everyone is obsessed with it.
I was so engrossed in the game that I couldn't even get into it on the first day.
Men should not think that they don’t care about their appearance. One-third of them also can’t stop pinching their faces.
Some want to give themselves a more handsome appearance, while others feel that they are too thin and want to give themselves a tall and strong body, especially eight-pack abdominal muscles are a must.
After discovering that the system had the bodies of European and American bodybuilding coaches, some people tried to get one for themselves. They found that they really had a body with thriving breasts. While secretly exclaiming at the miracle, they quietly restored their normal body.
Once you enter the game, you will meet other people. It's too embarrassing to be seen by others. It's better to play it in private when there is no one around. Ugh.
Lu Xuan was not very interested in these things. He randomly generated a stranger with the same body shape as his current one and picked a mecha combat game to play.
Just when he was engrossed in the game, the game system reminded him: there was external contact, should he temporarily disconnect from the game.
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow. Aren't we all in the holographic world? Where did the external contact come from? Could it be Huo Tiankuo?
After taking off the helmet, I found out that it was Lu Chen.
Lu Xuan asked in surprise: "Why did you withdraw?"
How could a child who was experiencing a holographic game for the first time have such strong self-control?
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen's face was filled with grief and indignation. "The intelligent system forced me out. They said it was for preventing minors from becoming addicted to games."
Lu Xuan: “?”
Does Star Alliance also have an anti-addiction mode for minors?
The audience who had been sharing Lu Xuan's first-person perspective were stunned for a moment, then realized what had happened and explained the Star Alliance's anti-addiction system to Lu Xuan while trying not to laugh.
The Star Alliance has extremely comprehensive protection for minors in all aspects, naturally including the holographic world that is most likely to make people addicted.
According to the Star Alliance Holographic Law, minors under the age of 15 can only stay in the holographic world for a maximum of three hours a day, and those aged 15-20 can stay for a maximum of six hours.
At this time, an hour and a half had passed since they entered the holographic world. Wasn't it just the right time for Lu Chen to be guarded?
Lu Xuan rubbed Lu Chen's head and gloated, "This is a rule set by the gods. Children can only play for a maximum of one and a half hours a day. Let's continue tomorrow. Don't you have classes to attend? You should have quit by now."
Lu Chen: “!!!”
Can they be the same? QAQ!
He will attend classes, but he also wants to play games!
Zhang Dafu, Mei Cheng, Xiong Dabao and other little guys who were also forced to withdraw soon came to the door, and then a group of children gathered together and expressed indignation, thinking that the gods discriminated against them, which was so unfair!
It is obvious that adults have a lot of things to do and don’t have that much time to play games. Adults are the ones who should be protected from addiction the most!
The games should be left for them to play!
But the real tragedy is not these little kids who can only rage helplessly, but some young people around seventeen or eighteen years old, led by Li Tuo.
In ancient times, they were already of an age to start a family and build a career. Ye Jing even had a child not long ago. Xu Wenzhe and Wei Qiaoqiao were also a couple, but they were both blocked by the anti-addiction system.
Although three hours is not a short time, others can play as long as they want, but they are treated as minors. How shameful!
But no matter how shameful it is, there is nothing that can be done. No matter how powerful Lu Xuan is, he cannot challenge the technology of the Star Alliance.
The last few people can only comfort themselves.
Ye Jing thought, since she still had to take care of her son, it was impossible for her to play every day.
Xu Wenzhe felt that he still had to prepare lessons and teach for the children, so three hours of play a day was enough. It was also good that he couldn't set a good example for the children if he played too much.
Li Tuo, Li Tuo couldn't comfort himself, and in depression he could only harass Li Jing who was immersed in raising chickens and ducks in the farm game.
Li Jing: “…” You really are my brother.
As everyone became more and more addicted to the game, some people who couldn't help but spend money on it began to appear.
At first, the villagers really didn’t want to spend money to play a game. Don’t they understand the principle that playing with things will lead to loss of ambition?
But in the farm game, you can actually spend money to speed up the growth of crops, which is equivalent to experiencing the feeling of being born with wood and time abilities in disguise.
How could someone who had long coveted these two superpowers resist?
There are also people who play racing games. Do you want some nice-looking racing cars?
Play mecha games, high-performance customized mechas, high-energy weapons that can wipe out the enemy with one shot, who will let you play without spending money?
Not to mention the dress-up games for the female members, all limited edition clothing and jewelry must be purchased with points.
There is also a costume ranking in the game.
As long as one person spends money to get on the list, others will not be able to resist.
Especially after buying a paid costume, the entire game will be notified to let the person who spent the money stand out.
The women, who were enjoying this kind of treatment for the first time, were overjoyed by the praise in the game announcement.
It’s just points, just top it up.
Anyway, there is too much meat at home to be eaten up, and it is impossible to stockpile nutritional supplements, salt and sugar indefinitely. The extra meat will just be sitting there anyway, so what's wrong with exchanging some points for some happiness?
People who spend money on krypton gold are more restrained at the beginning, spending only 20 to 30 kilograms of meat in exchange for 1,800 points.
Later I found that the points seemed to be insufficient, so I topped up some more.
The points increased from 1,800 to 2,000 to 3,000, 3,000 to 5,000, and more and more.
Lu Xuan: “…” As expected, women’s money has always been the easiest to make from ancient times to the present.
The audience in the live broadcast room also sighed, saying that the Star Alliance was really committing a sin and leading the simple and honest ancient people astray.
