Volume 2 The Age of Mountains and Seas Chapter 55 Knowledge
Along the way, there are deserts and wastelands everywhere, and most of the mountains are devoid of grass. It does feel like a barren mountain. Only when you get to the vicinity of Beishi City is the relatively refreshing plain area. There is a big river passing by the nearby city, but soon
It's the ups and downs of the Gobi Desert again.
The architectural style of North City is inevitably still the traditional oriental pattern. Looking from a high altitude just now, it is obviously the scale of a small and medium-sized city. Green trees are orderly dotted next to the shops along the avenue. Single-story or double-story single-family houses are arranged according to the
Each player's preferences have been built up. There is plenty of land, so there is no need to squeeze in high-rise buildings. Besides, high-rise buildings with dozens of floors cannot be built yet. Many houses have small gardens, grass, flowers, and even small pavilions.
You can already smell the atmosphere of prosperity. In terms of function and layout, the gap between Beishi and Abbey City is not big. However, because most of the people who settle here are players, who are used to the atmosphere of freedom and their own creativity, the style of the city is different.
Be more distinctive.
Wu Qi tutted in praise. In addition, the NPCs or players walking in and out of houses of different styles, shops, restaurants, and even brothels seemed to be living a comfortable life. The clothes were naturally diverse, and there were many in reality.
There are some that imitate the classics, and there are also those that show individuality but are nondescript and full of modern flavor.
"Anyway, you can practice cultivation and absorb the energy between heaven and earth even if you live in the city. You don't have to go to the mountains and wild places. You also know that Chinese people like to live together, so there are more of them like snowflakes." Wang Tian explained quite proudly.
While leading the way, he also acted as a commentator: "Besides, the city is relatively safe. Building a house in the wild is not prohibited by the system now, but if you often encounter ferocious monsters or malicious players, it will be troublesome.
Although it is difficult to completely avoid such fights in the city, it is relatively stable because there are occupiers maintaining order. Haha, stability trumps everything else."
Wang Tian pointed to the signboard "Core Store" of the store he passed by and explained: "The game is also very cruel. Except for a few golden elixirs formed by humans or cores made by monsters, most of them need to go through special processes.
It can be taken out from corpses only with the spell, but it is very useful and can greatly improve the cultivation level, so there are still a lot of core hunters, but there must be team members who can hunt for cores. Fortunately, there are no such people.
One, otherwise no matter how many people maintain it, it will be difficult to find a stable situation."
"Look at that herbal shop, what they sell is not the stuff in reality. Most of them are the legendary century-old Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old red fruit, etc. They are purchased from players or NPCs, or they are picked and sold by themselves. They are also good for cultivation.
Benefits. Of course, although there is abundant spiritual energy here and there is no shortage of this legendary fairy grass, picking and collecting it requires a lot of effort, and the price is naturally not cheap." Wang Tian pointed to an inconspicuous shop and continued to explain,
Wu Qi feels a bit like a country bumpkin. He seems to sell rice and a lot of vegetables in his city to satisfy the daily life of the NPC villagers in the city. I have never heard of what Wang Tian said.
"This is..." Wu Qi saw a "Tianxia Fur" store on the corner of the street and was surprised. Could it be that this place also provides people with clothes made of fur?
"This is not that kind of fur. It is stuff pulled from various monsters, such as sky python horns, fire fox skins... They are all used to make equipment and have special functions. Look at my body, all of it is made of fur.
Weaved from the collected Qingling grass, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and will never get dirty or smelly. More importantly, as long as a strand of it is on the body, it can quickly return to its shape. Although it cannot be used for defense, it is very durable.
It’s worth a lot of money!” Wang Tian put his arm around Wu Qi’s shoulders and laughed twice.
Wu Qi had never had such an eye-opening experience. He touched Wang Tian's clothes and was very envious. The clothes he wore relied entirely on energy to maintain their shape... Although he wanted to have it, he usually had to consume some energy, so he had to do it if he had the chance.
Get some powerful equipment: "Are there really such powerful life-style players?"
"More. Of course, because of different levels, the quality of things is still different, and it also depends on the material." Wang Tian nodded slightly, and the expression on his face was obviously a little strange about Wu Qi's ignorance: "You don't have such people?
We have many players with life skills in this area, but I don’t know how they have this ability. If you have the opportunity, you can ask for advice."
"Well, by the way, a buddy probably mentioned that this kind of skill is not innate, nor is it given by the system, but is developed by the player himself. He must have a full understanding of the materials, and he must also know how to make clothes, weapons, etc.
The process needs to be studied carefully. It is said that some tools can be made with imagination, but most of them are ordinary. There are only two equipment stores in Bei City that can produce items with passable special properties, and the others can only provide ordinary ones.
Clothes." Wang Tian shook his head and sighed: "You should cherish your secret skills, you should cherish your secret skills."
"Are there people who make weapons?"
"It's the same as sewing clothes. There are few that are spiritual and have special attributes..."
"Wow, NPCs are prostitutes too!" After passing the "Baihua Building", Wu Qi saw a guy who was obviously an NPC. He was paunchy and dressed quite richly and went in.
"It's rare and weird. There are a lot of rich NPCs. Most of them have certain supply relationships with players. Some have even established long-term strategic partnerships with Xingtian Trading Company, providing various goods and receiving certain protection in this city.
In addition, the trading company also hires bodyguards for personal protection." Wang Tian glanced at it and said unconcernedly: "It's not like you don't know that besides being unable to go offline and having a slight gap in ability, there are many differences between NPCs and players."
"Spell Research Institute? What is this..."
"Without him, that is the question we are discussing, why energy cannot exert its maximum power. This is a government-run organization established after our recent unanimous decision. There are players in it, as well as some accomplished NPCs. It was established not long ago
, the results are not available yet.”
"Tai Chi?" Wu Qi blurted out in surprise when he saw dozens of people practicing a simplified version of Tai Chi in a small square. Between his hands, he could slightly see the black and white yin and yang fish.
"Haha, this is a small sect in this city, the Tai Chi Sect. They know a few Tai Chi moves in real life, and found that practicing it in the game is very effective, so they have some influence. Many of my friends are Tai Chi
They came out of the door. You see, they can already release the power of yin and yang between opening and closing, and they are both offensive and defensive, but there are also many shortcomings. There are also their people in the magic research institute..." Wang Tian pointed to the three-story tall building behind the small square.
, to explain Wu Qi’s doubts..
Wu Qi thought thoughtfully. "There are a lot of talents, but the things in reality are not completely feasible here. There are people in this city who know the southern style of boxing, and there are even those who are proficient in Shaolin Temple's internal and external martial arts, or some family secrets, which do have some effect.
The cultivation level of the game characters is much faster than others, but the effect is not as obvious as we expected." Wang Tian saw that Wu Qi seemed very interested, hesitated a little, and poured cold water on it: "The laws of this world are not the same as ours.
The rules are definitely different, so don’t try to borrow too much from reality. My brothers have also read Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching, but they can’t use it.”
"There is a brother in this city who says that his father is a magic stick. Although he only came in after the game, his level has improved rapidly. He is already almost the same as me. He is in the late stage of Yuanshen." Wang Tian sighed and said in a sloppy tone: "How come?
So, from what he described, his father is a man who deceives people out of money, how come his messy ideas sometimes work?"
"How do these new players practice?" Wu Qi asked a very idiotic question.
"You can naturally accumulate energy in your body. Especially after you concentrate on it, you can think faster." Wang Tian looked like you are not the one who doesn't even know this: "The front is going fast. If you work harder, the game will be better."
You can basically reach the core stage in about a year, and you can reach the Yuan Shen stage in two or three years. It will be faster if you buy more elixirs. Even if you don't do anything, you can probably reach the Yuan Shen stage within ten years. But when you reach the Yuan Shen stage,
The god stage is very slow, and it is almost difficult to make any progress. Alas, when it comes to this, it is really heartbreaking. I am also an old player after all, and I am still in the late stage of Yuan Shen. On the contrary, it is the newcomers who have their own secrets and use them.
A lot of time in a year has already reached the late stage of Yuan Shen.”
"But then again, the game has only been in the game for a little more than a year since it was opened. Generally speaking, the Yuanshen stage is not too widespread. I only know you as an outlier.
.”
Wu Qi smiled bitterly: "It's not too overwhelming. It's said that there are hundreds of them. Isn't it too overwhelming?"
"Do you think it's easy to find so many people? I invested several million in it." Wang Tian said angrily: "I don't make much, and my monthly salary expenses are quite a lot. So far, I've only made so-so money.
It's just a small profit, and I don't know when it will take to recover the cost. Originally, a food factory was going to build a factory in reality, but the machine transported from the Old Dream City was damaged by someone on the way...***, broken
Made a lot of money."
"Machine?" Wu Qi's mind was confused.
"Boss, you're behind the times." Wang Tian rolled his eyes in a rare move. Although he was getting used to Wu Qi's ignorance, he didn't expect it to reach such a height: "Shitou said someone can get a pistol, don't you remember? Of course there are people.
Manufacturing processing equipment, mass-producing real food in the game. And those wines like Moutai, how do you think they are brewed?"
Only then did Wu Qi remember, he said "Oh", scratched his head, and smiled.
"I used to be quite shrewd, but recently I have been having problems with my brain..." Wang Tian shook his head and muttered in a low voice.
Arriving in front of a building supported by sixteen thick stone pillars, Wang Tian stopped and said: "I'm going to discuss this matter with the brothers. You can take a stroll first, and if necessary, I will call you over to chat with the scholars...
Haha..." After that, he strode away with a smile.
Wu Qi shrugged his shoulders to express his understanding.
"Ordinary buildings, with ordinary defense capabilities and general solidity, no special defense, can be used for discussions and gatherings, and can accommodate up to two to three thousand people." Wu Qi saw the information about this kind of meeting hall in boredom. Then he turned to look at the building.
As expected, the housing is nothing special. "Ordinary buildings have average defense and solidity. Ordinary houses can be used for living." Then there are a lot of data and descriptions about defense, solidity, durability... and so on.
The attribute display function of artifacts is not only about data display, but also a lot of descriptions, but descriptions are also useful. The amount of information displayed for a character or an item is very large, so Wu Qi usually just skips to read it. Unfortunately, his ability is limited.
Thinking of the prospect of modification, Wu Qi really yearned for it at this time. It was like the pleasure of controlling destiny...
The melodious and loud bells sounded continuously in the meeting hall. Amidst the waves, people kept coming through the air, or suddenly appeared, or slowly landed on flying swords, or rode lightning to the ground...
...stepped into the meeting hall one after another. They were probably Wang Tian's new friends.
But the strange thing is that some guys came from other corners of the North City. They seemed to be of average skill, but they were also summoned by the bell and stepped into the meeting hall one after another. They should also be in the management level, and some guys were even NPCs.
.Wu Qi thought that he was already very enlightened, but he didn't expect that Wang Tian's management skills were also good, and he made the best use of his talents.
