The endless jungle is full of towering trees that require more than a dozen people to hold hands. Under the trees are continuous bushes. There is really no place to stay. Every step forward requires fighting against these ghosts, all the time.
No longer consuming physical energy.
There are many taboos that need to be paid attention to when spawning monsters in this environment. The most important one is the ubiquitous bugs, which will bring all kinds of inexplicable negative states to the players.
Poisoning is still the most common. There is a small thing called a 'sound bug', which is almost invisible to the naked eye. A bite can put players into a 'petrified' state. If you are unlucky, you will encounter more than one or two.
It's a group of people. Congratulations, you can enjoy a scene of a 'puppet show'. You can see the unlucky players step by step, move by one card, and be manipulated by these little things like puppets until they are exhausted.
The health and stamina were reduced.
Therefore, when killing monsters in this environment, potions are secondary, and various insect repellent powders are necessary.
Fortunately, this kind of medicine powder has a formula, and pharmacist players can make it. The threshold for making it is very low, and it is a skill that novices must know. Many players who are just learning life occupation skills can use this to increase their proficiency and recover some costs.
There are insect repellents and insect attractants. This kind of [sound insect] is a valuable material in itself. It can be used in forging as a 'catalyst', and can be used in enchanting to add a 'petrification' special effect to the probability of equipment.
Used in red and blue potions, many tourists are hired to catch this bug.
At the same time, it can also be used as a spicy condiment. It is toxic in itself, but after being killed by high temperature, dried and ground into powder, it becomes pure and non-toxic. This secret was discovered by Aunt Xue by chance.
The jungle is too unfriendly to players who are tourists like Aunt Xue. Because they are close to the fairy forest, in addition to the monsters that refresh from time to time, they also have to be careful of the beasts and monsters that run out of the forest.
Of course, insect repellent powder is a must. He wrapped his whole body tightly and headed straight to the location where the sound bugs appeared. Players he met along the way were very curious as to why this tourist was so desperate. It would be impossible to know that the tourist would be resurrected.
It’s free, but if you get disconnected or die in the red zone, you may even lose your visitor status.
Wielding a machete with no attributes, Aunt Xue gritted her teeth and fought against the ubiquitous bushes. She accidentally stepped on the air and fell into a "demon hamster" hole.
Fortunately, the monster inside has just been cleaned up by the player and has not been refreshed yet. Even so, she was injured.
Tourists do not have the right to wait for 'system repair', nor can they use the player's red and blue potions. Instead, they use the herbs they carry with them that are only used by NPCs. They simply bandage their wounds, climb out of the hole with difficulty, and continue on their way.
Purchasing sound bugs from players was too expensive. It was so expensive that she, a 'pancake beauty', couldn't afford it, so she had no choice but to catch them herself.
Fortunately, it is not too difficult to catch this little bug, the difficulty lies in being on the road.
Ahead is the low-lying and humid area where "sound bugs" infest. The reason why the sound bugs have the word "音" is because when they fly, the frequency of their wings flapping will make a clanking sound similar to that of a guzheng, with different tones.
It's different, it sounds pleasant, a little bit boring
Talking about life and leisure players, collect soundbugs of different tones and make a [sound box] with various simple melodies. It is especially popular with some female players. There are also made into sachets, allowing players to carry special ones with them.
The sound effects are just like the BGM on the show.
Aunt Xue did not have such a 'petty bourgeoisie' sentiment, nor did she have such capital. She worked hard for her ideal flavoring agent.
"I said, the system is going to delete files, why are you still doing this?"
"That's a rumor. It's impossible to delete the file. Canaan Company doesn't dare."
"Bullshit, why don't they dare? What can you do to them?"
"I...I..."
"Stop it now, go to Punk City."
"What are you doing in Punk City?"
"What are you doing? Protest and let those bitches see the power of our unity."
"Are you making trouble?"
"Are you going or not?"
"Go, go, there are no supplies anyway."
The place where players spawn monsters is easy to identify, and the bushes have been cleared. As soon as Aunt Xue walked into the empty monster spawning spot, she encountered this group of players cursing.
"Ah, there are actually tourists in this place?"
"Hey, what are you doing here? Are you looking for death?"
"Look, even tourists are risking their lives, which shows that the deletion is true."
Aunt Xue smiled at them, said nothing, walked around them and continued on her way.
The discussion among these players reminded her of what happened yesterday. Her old neighbor, Aunt Wang, was the one who was very talkative. She was probably jealous of the fact that her family became prosperous as tourists, and she didn’t know who she was looking for.
Go to a door where you can enter the copper coin exchange rate market.
Before this call, I even called her to show off to her, telling her what price I bought it at, and how much it has increased now. The implication is, you see, even if I am not a tourist and cannot enter the game, I can still make a fortune from the game.
, you will make more money than buying pancakes in the game.
It's fine now. I called her crying and asked her if there was any way out and what to do. She sold her house, even invested in her daughter's tuition, and borrowed a lot of money. If Canaan really deletes her files
, their whole family had to jump off the building.
well……
Okay, why go to all this trouble?
In the past few days, things have been going crazy online and offline. I heard that many people are talking about going to Canaan Company to cause trouble. Online, a group of Canaan Company executives have become rats on the street. That is everyone
They shouted curses and everyone shouted for killing, and the public resentment boiled over.
A careful analysis of the source of these voices reveals that most of the people who dance the most are those institutions that have suffered heavy losses. The trolls they employ, the media they control and influence, and the self-media, are desperately trying to set the pace.
With Aunt Xue's identity and position, she didn't know this originally. Who made the Internet Information Department act vigorously and resolutely this time? Canaan Company hadn't taken any action yet, but they took action decisively, arresting a group of people and punishing a group of people.
The ins and outs and detailed list were made public, allowing even people like her to know that whoever takes the lead at this juncture will not end well.
Apart from these troublemakers, there are indeed many people who have suffered heavy losses due to the rumors of 'deletion'. There are many, many people like Aunt Wang, but compared to the huge population base, they are still the first.
If you criticize those who cheat, you will make a lot of money and lose a lot. Speaking out will not win the sympathy of public opinion.
Aunt Xue cannot feel it, but there is indeed an invisible hand controlling and influencing the fermentation of public opinion. The hot topic currently is whether or not this test should be deleted. Naturally, there are overwhelming opponents, and it cannot be said that those who support it
No, Canaan Company just refused to give an accurate confirmation. It only said that due to technical problems, it was still doing all-out research with the technology manufacturer.
Aunt Xue doesn't care whether to delete files or not. These tourists don't have any level, equipment, experience, or props, and they only suffered a little loss in terms of money. But compared to the majority of 'Aunt Wang',
What does it count?
There was trouble offline and online, and she no longer had the heart to play games. Aunt Xue still only focused on her own affairs. Taking advantage of the plummeting prices, most people had no time to play games. It would be better to accumulate more.
These principles were taught to her by her ghost elf daughter.
Anyway, the recipes and experience will not be lost, and her visitor status will not be cancelled. It doesn’t matter whether she deletes the file or not.
By the time she arrived at the canyon where the sound bugs were infested, more than 2 hours of game time had been spent, and she still had to grit her teeth and teleport here.
A special cage with some bait that the soundworms like is placed in it, and the rest is hidden and harvested after a period of time.
Aunt Xue was very lucky this time. When she crawled out of the cave where she was hiding, the cage was already filled with four pairs of soundworms that were flying and crashing around. These little bugs were smaller than a grain of rice and were almost invisible to the naked eye.
The wings are like steel needles that cannot be touched directly. A petrochemical toxin will be injected into the wings if touched. If a tourist is stung twice, he may die.
She picked up the cage with a thick cloth and carried it behind her back without a backpack. Facing the dimming light, Aunt Xue smiled contentedly and embarked on her way home.
Going back was easier than coming here, and it took more than an hour to get back to the nearest safe zone.
I saw almost no one in the usually lively and bustling safe zone. The system NPC smiled out of boredom when seeing tourists like her, and took the teleporter to Punk City. The safe zones passed along the way were much the same.
In the past, she was reluctant to take the teleportation service. Wasn't it necessary to delete the files? The money would be in vain if she kept it, so she just used it.
The situation in Punk City is very different.
Almost all the players who were online and could make it back were gathered here, and they were crowded inside and outside the city.
The limelight of the trouble has passed. There is no response from the system. Not even a system announcement can be made. The city guard NPCs are keeping an eye on everyone. Some players who were ready to take advantage of the opportunity to start the "zero yuan purchase" business were all caught and imprisoned and taught how to behave by the system.
There has been a quarrel for several days, and not responding is the biggest response, and it is also the toughest response. Players also feel guilty. They say that they can bring down the emperor even if they are willing to cut themselves off. People who have nothing are often the most violent and have the least bottom line.
, but players don’t have nothing, even if they really delete files. On the contrary, they have too much, too many to count. Even if the game data is cleared and everyone starts from scratch, it is far more than in this world.
The vast majority of people.
Do they dare to go out and make a scene?
Don't dare!
Can they give up this game for the current level, equipment, and money?
cannot!
So, what's the point of making trouble online? Apart from letting NPCs watch the fun, the biggest purpose is just like now, complaining together, hugging each other to keep warm, fishing in troubled waters with ulterior motives, and asking around at a loss...
…
Aunt Xue passed through such a group of players and finally squeezed into the city gate. She found that all kinds of shops were crowded with people. Many people who were usually reluctant to spend money and had no need to try were opened at this time. Oh, the exchange rate dropped anyway.
It hasn't bottomed out yet, and even if you exchange it for money, you won't be able to get much, so I'll just waste it on myself and experience it for a while.
As a result, the prices of some consumer goods, luxury goods, and props without attributes have begun to rise. It is really a strange thing in this situation where everything is falling, and few people are interested in green and blue equipment.
Aunt Xue didn't have much time to play, and she couldn't handle so many soundworms by herself, so she found a pharmacy run by a player and prepared to exchange live insects for some finished product materials.
The most annoying pharmacy on weekdays is deserted. The mid-level pharmacist sitting behind the counter is frowning and whispering something to a colleague. It's nothing more than whether to delete files in life and career. If so, what can be done to maximize the benefits?
To recover the losses...
Aunt Xue listened to a few words and felt that they were all "happy troubles". If she were a player, if she had the experience of becoming an intermediate pharmacist, she would not worry about the loss of proficiency, and she would not be distressed about the advancement progress of the advanced level.
She will be extremely excited because she has the opportunity to start from scratch. She can avoid many detours. She can use the huge first-mover advantage among more and larger groups of players and tourists to accumulate achievements far beyond the current level.
Of course, these are not her own feelings, but those of her ghostly daughter.
With her daughter as a dog-headed strategist, Aunt Xue did not panic and accepted all this calmly. Not only did she not regard it as a blow, but she saw it as a very important opportunity.
Such as now.
The mid-level pharmacist who usually cared about everything was generous this time and gave her a very good price. The materials she got in exchange were three times as much as before.
Aunt Xue went out with three times the amount of ingredients and happily went straight to the rented kitchen.
Using the dried powder of sound insects as a spicy seasoning for food, the food you make has a unique flavor, even better than the real thing.
She also made her first green food.
"Secret spicy barbecue, quality: green, complete, excellent flavor, safe and non-toxic, consumption increases hunger value by 10-15, strength +2 within 15 minutes, petrochemical resistance +5 within 5 minutes, producer..."
Hard work pays off!
Aunt Xue smiled from the bottom of her heart. The recipe was in her heart, but she couldn't delete it. In the fifth test, she would only do better than now.
It was game time, and she logged off contentedly, waiting for her daughter to come back and tell her the good news.
"Green? Not enough, not enough. Mom, what a great opportunity now, you have to seize the time and make blue or even purple recipes."
I brainwashed and cheered me up, "It's too slow to catch sound bugs by myself. Why don't you exchange some game coins to buy them? Now the game coins are as cheap as Chinese cabbage. Did you just say that the stingy guy is generous? Maybe you can get it from him without any money."
Then when you get the materials, why don’t you keep them and delete them?”
“It’s not certain whether to delete the file or not…”
"Delete it for sure. My intuition tells me that it will be deleted. Mom, opportunities only come to those who are prepared. You must listen to me this time."
While he was talking, the news broadcast on TV suddenly mentioned news related to Canaan.
"...This station has learned that Canaan Company is planning to donate 50 billion RMB to Project Hope and 100 billion RMB to the national personal pension account..."
"Look, look, look!" Xie Xiaomeng pointed at the TV and jumped up, "What is this? This must be deleted!"
