Chapter 4 Lanka's Teaching
Ning Chen nibbled the thick throated black bread and asked Lanka, who was sitting side by side with him, "How dare you come out of the tent? Aren't you afraid that players will say your bug?"
Lanka smiled gently: "What is there to be afraid of? Now it's time for them to rest when they are tired of playing. This will be the time with the fewest people, and we also need to let go out occasionally.
"What the hell is going on?" Ning Chen asked.
"Don't ask me, I can't answer your question. Didn't I tell you? All the answers you need are ahead, as long as you work hard enough. Lanka said.
"How to work hard..." Ning Chen said dejectedly, "Looking at my hard work for two or three hours, I haven't hit a single bird feather."
"Ha ha, do you want to be lazy? Duty is the most basic principle. We can't touch what players hit, so when they are all resting, it's the best time for you to exercise yourself." Lanka stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks. "The answer may be somewhere you didn't expect... I'm going back on duty."
Looking at Lanka's distant back, Ning Chen took two mouthfuls of bread and suddenly remembered the black pepper beef fillet made by his mother. What a sin!
There are indeed few people at midnight, and the sky game time is synchronized with the real world. Therefore, the vast majority of players have fallen asleep at this time. A small number of night owls are struggling to do tasks, but Hongyuntai is just a temporary place for them, an experienced play. The family can finish all the tasks here in about an hour.
The current Hongyuntai is particularly quiet, except for the occasional sound of night owls, which is the sound of insects among the grass. There is no other sound, even the birds are sleeping.
Ning Chen touched a sleeping Chocobo. Its sleeping posture was really funny. He stood on one leg and buried his head between his wings, as if he could abandon the cruel world from his own world. It was really impossible to do it. Ning Chen sighed and raised his bow and arrow and aimed at it.
This was the first prey shot by Ning Chen. He hit the soles of his feet impartially and nailed it firmly on the ground. The Chocobo, who woke up in pain in his sleep, struggled desperately and screamed in panic, flapped his wings vigorously, and Ning Chen couldn't bear to bear it.
The screams of the Chocobo resounded through the valley, and the gopher woke up the bird perched at the top of the tree. The birds flew up from the top of the tree with their wings for fear that they would start late and the next sufferer would be themselves.
The quacking sound made the murderer Ning Chen's scalp numb. You know, he hasn't even killed a chicken since he was a child. Suddenly, he wanted to kill such a big Chocobo, which made people scream so miserably.
But the food always needs to be eaten, the clothes always needs to be bought, and the home always needs to be returned. The world is like this, the law of the jungle.
Ning Chen came a little closer, pulled his bow full of strength, and shot out with an arrow. He was so immortal that the eyes of the Chocobo ran through its head, which completely ended its pain.
In the past, when I played the game, it looked like an ordinary monster, but now I found that it was very heavy and big. Ning Chen put the bird on his shoulder and began to walk back, thinking about how much barbecue the bird could exchange for.
"What? Such a big bird! Just give me 15 copper coins!" Standing at the door of the bakery, Ning Chen refused to believe his ears.
"Yes, I can only give you 15 copper coins at most. If you don't think it's suitable, forget it. Anyway, we don't lack your one." The baker said with a disdainful face.
"Okay, I'll bake it and eat it."
"Okay, whatever you want" The baker still looks disdainful. Who made him the only food seller in the village? Monopoly is the boss.
When Ning Chen came to the well to open the caesarean section, he sadly found that he had no tools. When he returned to the bakery, the price changed again.
"12 copper coins, the most."
"What?" Ning Chen's voice increased by eight degrees.
"Two feathers have been lost, and the time of death has been longer than before, and the quality has decreased. We have to make money and think about the health of our customers, don't we?"
"You..."
"Do you want to sell it? Don't sell it, but the longer you keep it, the lower the price will be. You have to think about it carefully. He smiled.
It's really... He was bullied and Ma Shan was unlucky to drink cold water. Alas, Ning Chen sighed and decided to compromise. I'm really afraid that no one will ask for him for money after a while. After all, he needs money very much now.
"You're bullying again..." Lanka's voice sounded, which made Ning Chen feel hot.
"Hmm, my family of more than a dozen are waiting for dinner..."
"Whose family is not?" Lanka took the body of the Chocobo from Ningchen's hand, "Let's go, I'll help you clean it up. The price is half of the barbecue."
"Hmm!" Ning Chen looked at the teacher gratefully, or how could he say that he would be a teacher for the rest of his life.
It turns out that a Chocobo can make so much barbecue. Ningchen only needs a small half of it, and he can eat it for several days. Such climate food is not easy to deteriorate.
After tossing all this, the sky was already bright and he was really sleepy. When he was about to find a place to lie down and sleep for a while, someone stopped him.
"Hey, how about your barbecue?" This is an early player, and there is always a small group of people who get up early and struggle in the game.
"Well..." Ning Chen turned his eyes, "How much is his bread?"
"I want 3 copper coins."
"I have 3 copper coins and 2 pieces of barbecue!" Ning Chen was just worried about how to pack so much meat.
Ning Chen is in a particularly good mood to earn the first bucket of gold and kill profiteers.
I counted the money in the bag, with 24 copper coins and more than ten pieces of meat on my body. I was satisfied. The first thing he did when he got the money was to buy a dagger. It was really inconvenient to do something without a knife around him.
With this experience, his business went smoothly. There was a continuous influx of novices, and there was continuous business to do. In just seven days, his grilled Chocobo meat was sold on sale at a low price and sufficient weight. Many players abandoned bread and bought Chocobo meat, when they saved enough three silver coins. At that time, Ning Chen decided to leave the Hongyun platform. Of course, he must say goodbye to his teacher before leaving, although Lanka did not really teach him any skills.
"Remember, you must not die. If you die, you will die." When saying goodbye, Lanka only said such a sentence. Neither told him the way forward nor what to do in the future.
After saying goodbye to Lanka and Ying Feng, he bought enough weight and filled the quiver, and Ning Chen embarked on the road to seek the truth.
"Lanka, do you know this child well?" Eagle wind asked.
"I don't know him well. I met him on the same day as you, a few minutes later than you."
"Do you know much about his background?"
"I don't know, not more than you know." Lanka said.
"Then why do you seem to know a lot? Do you know where he came from?
"I don't know, but I have to give people a little hope."
โ......โ
Of course, Ning Chen didn't hear the above dialogue, otherwise he was afraid that he would cry. Fortunately, he didn't hear it, otherwise he would not be able to go on in the future.
When he walked to the pass out of the mountain, he was still fantasizing whether NPC would stop him from asking for help to deliver the package. If there was, it would be great, so when he passed the stone wall, he deliberately slowed down and the guards looked over one by one, but no one seemed to have the intention of need help.
"Can you do me a favor?" Just as he almost gave up the idea, someone stopped him.
"Good! How can I help you?" Ning Chen eagerly looked at the guard's anxious face.
"Help me get it..." The guard said as he stuffed the axe in his hand into him, "Help me get it, I'll make it convenient." Before the words fell, the shadow of the cow has disappeared behind the stone wall. It seems that it has been holding back for too long.
Ning Chen stood there with an axe dejectedly. These NPCs are too much. Don't they even have time to go to the toilet? How did they solve these situations when they were not there before?
After thinking for a long time, he felt a hot feeling behind him, as if someone was staring at him desperately.
There is indeed someone behind him, a tarew Druid, level 13, with a forehead: prisoner Qiu Kristovsky. Isn't this the player who said he was a bug by Shiniu Lake that day? It seems wrong. The prison mound that day was a cow, and now it's just a bull.
Prisoner Qiu stared at Ning Chen. In any case, he/she felt that the player in front of him was unusual, "BUG!"
Ning Chen pretended not to pay attention and turned around and whistled, hoping that the guard would solve it quickly and return quickly. He didn't want to stay with this troublesome person for too long.
"Absolutely BUG!" Prisoner Qiu said.
"There is a girl named Wanjun..." Ning Chen sang.
"You can't fool me."
Would you like to eat barbecue? New one in the morning.
"Eva, here's that bug guy!" The prisoner Qiu turned around and called his companion.
"Where is the bug?" Ning Chen looked around.
"So you are GM, right?" The prisoner came up.
"Oh, no, I remember that the prisoner's hill is a girl! Which one are you? But you two have exactly the same name... You are BUG!" Ning Chen began to change the topic.
Eva rode over, and she could easily ride a mount at level 20 in the sky. "Yo, we meet again. Hello, Ning Chen."
Ning Chen handed over a piece of meat: "Meeting gift, hello, Eva, why are you here?"
"We have friends to play today, so we came to help her with tasks. Many of them don't understand. Why are you still here?"
"Well, this, my fate is more difficult..." Ning Chen smiled bitterly.
"Haha, you are so funny. Hum? Where is this NPC? Eva also found that the guard was missing.
"Well, he said he went to the toilet..."
"What a coincidence..." Eva smiled and said, "I met you twice and NPC went to the toilet. You're so funny."
"Really, I'm serious." Ning Chen said very seriously.
