At 10 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Haiping entered the game on time.
The first time he came to the Orderer's space, he looked around and found that there had indeed been changes.
Directly in front is still the Void Bridge structured by the turbulent flow of time and space. On the original floating platform, the dungeon portal of "The matter must be closed yet" has become a clearance state.
Further away, a new platform slowly rose, but there was no colorful water wave-shaped portal on it yet.
Obviously this is a new copy of "The title is not mine", but it has not been opened yet.
The bigger changes come from the other two directions of this heavenly palace.
Rows of stone steps appeared out of thin air, extending to two other portals that were completely different from the trial illusion.
One leads to the Orderer's stronghold, and the other leads to the fiefdom.
“Is this the update content of ‘The Eve of Bandits’ mentioned in the previous announcement? One is the fixed online gameplay ‘Fortress of the Orderer’, and the other is the personal farming gameplay ‘Fiefdom’?
"Perhaps the reason why the official waits for a week before opening the new copy is to give players enough time to experience these contents.
"Go and have a look."
Zhao Haiping thought about it for a moment and stepped into the portal of "Fiefdom" first.
After a while, Zhao Haiping found himself in a brand new space.
This is a piece of land suspended in the turbulent flow of time and space. The area is neither large nor small. It is about the size of a football field.
However, this fiefdom is divided into different areas. It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
The fiefdom generally shows a two-level terrain trend. There is a flat land at the foot of Zhao Haiping, with four small pieces of cultivated farmland; the terrain in the distance is obviously higher, with a stream as a separation, and upwards there are
It is a denser forest.
There is a thatched house with a firewood pile outside and a wooden pile for chopping firewood. There is an ax for chopping firewood on the wooden pile.
Zhao Haiping pondered for a moment: "Are you sure this is a fiefdom and not a farm?
"Well, a fief and a farm might be the same thing.
"I thought that there would be ten or eight servants in the fief to work for me automatically. It seems that I thought too much.
"However, according to the official statement, as more and more historical slices are recaptured, the area of the fiefdom will become larger and larger. By then, functions such as servants should be opened, right? Otherwise, how could I grow such a tree by myself?
Lots of land.
"At that time, just farming will take up all the time, and there will be no time to clear the dungeon."
Zhao Haiping muttered as he prepared to tour the entire fiefdom.
First come to the farmland.
"Currently there are grain seeds and medicinal herb seeds, and you can freely choose which one to plant...
"There is a fishing rod by the river, and it seems you can fish here.
“There are also firewood axes, bows and arrows in the thatched house, which means you can also chop firewood and hunt?
"Why do I feel a vague premonition that I am unwilling to miss my childhood...
"Let's try it first to see what the output is used for. This game should also gradually add some life-related professional skills, which should also have a certain auxiliary effect in combat."
Zhao Haiping decided to try them one by one, intending to at least find out what these things were used for.
First, I picked up a hoe and turned over the land symbolically. However, these pieces of cultivated land were in a relatively suitable condition and did not require much effort.
Spread the seeds evenly and cover them with soil. Finally, I picked up a few buckets of water from the stream and watered them symbolically.
"Is this... okay?
"I feel so unsure!"
Zhao Haiping was not sure whether he could do this. After all, he had never actually planted land. He only knew the general steps and basically knew nothing about the details.
If it's other games, it's very simple. You just need to move the mouse. Even if it's a general VR game, you only need to do a few fixed steps at most, and the food will grow by itself...
But this game is really hard to say.
Anyway, I'll try to plant it first, but if it doesn't work, I'll go online and copy other players' strategies.
I tried fishing again, then sat there for five minutes and gave up shamefully.
Gu Shu
This thing should be the favorite of fishermen, right? Most people without skills or patience really can’t play it.
Zhao Haiping picked up the ax again, went to the mountain to chop some firewood, and then shot some game with a bow and arrow.
All in all, I spent more than an hour going back and forth, and I have experienced most of the content in this fiefdom.
"Chopping wood and hunting are relatively easy.
"However, the trees on the mountain are still relatively small and there are relatively few types. The wood cut down can only be used for burning fires. Some of the larger ones may be used to make utensils? If you want to build a house or build a city defense, what else?
Counting on...
"I wonder if these trees will grow over time?
"As for hunting, we can only occasionally see small animals such as pheasants and hares in the fiefdom. Large animals have not been seen. I wonder if there is a chance to refresh, or because the fiefdom level is too low so there is no output?
"Fortunately, the soldiers have practiced archery before, so hunting is not too difficult.
"However, you can chop the firewood into small pieces to make a fire by yourself, but what about the food? Do you have to peel and open it yourself and cook it? Isn't this... too hardcore?
"Do you need to know how to cook to play games?
"But having said that, the gameplay of this fiefdom is not necessary, but like a kind of optional and supplementary gameplay.
"After all, whether players are going to single-player dungeons to complete levels, or fishing, hunting, farming, etc., they can only do one thing at a time. So it doesn't matter if you don't know how to fish or hunt. Players can also communicate with each other.
Just do what you do best.
"Also, there should be some NPCs in the Orderer's fortress to help process these raw materials, right?"
Zhao Haiping counted the spoils after his busy work. There was a small bundle of firewood, a pheasant and a hare, so he carried the firewood on his back and hung the pheasant and hare around his waist.
He also expected that the pheasants and hares he shot could be turned directly into some kind of edible props, but no, they were no different from the pheasants and hares shot to death by bows and arrows in reality.
It is impossible to eat it without going through a series of steps such as plucking, gutting, and cooking.
Unless there is a barbarian character in "Dark Sand" in the future, he can directly eat raw meat like raw hair and blood.
Moreover, this game is different from other games in that there is no "fourth-dimensional chrysanthemum pocket" setting. Just like reality, you can only hang the prey you kill on your waist.
This is still somewhat inconvenient.
But after all, "Dark Sand" is a game that emphasizes realism, and players are basically used to this inconvenience.
Even in rare cases, "Dark Sands" made some unrealistic settings, such as an unlimited supply of weapons in the "Orderer's Expedition" gameplay, the ability to chat through team channels, etc., which actually made players grateful.
This is probably the designer’s mercy, right?
Zhao Haiping took a look and found that the newly planted grains and herbs seemed to be showing signs of sprouting, which showed that the flow of time in the fiefdom was much faster than reality.
However, it should take at least a day or two for it to mature.
Zhao Haiping turned around and left the fiefdom, preparing to visit the Fortress of the Orderer.
By the way, I also went to the merchants in the city to see if I could sell this bundle of firewood and two game meats.
…
A moment later, Zhao Haiping walked through the portal and arrived at the Fortress of the Orderer.
Then he recognized it at first sight. Isn't this the same small county town from before?
Zhao Haiping's birth point in the Fortress of the Orderer was in a square in the south of the city. In addition to him, there were other players walking out one after another, and patterns like water waves continued to appear in the air.
There is no fixed portal here, but all teleported players will appear nearby, separated by a certain distance, and will not collide.
Zhao Haiping left this small square and walked towards the market and theater in the center of the county.
Along the way, he looked around and found that there were already many players in the county, but there were also some vendors who were obviously not players, but NPCs in the game.
"This Fortress of the Orderer was indeed transformed through previous slices of history.
“However, compared with the state during the ‘Orderer’s Expedition’, there still seem to be some changes.
"The basic structure of the Tucheng was retained, many useless buildings were removed, and some small traders, blacksmiths and other characters from the original county were added as NPCs?
"Sure enough, as mentioned in the previous announcement, this place is to be built into a frontline against the invasion of monsters.
"But so far, there is no sign of any forward position?
"...Does it mean that players need to move bricks to complete every brick in this city?"
