Chapter 118: First Intimate Encounter

"Ethel El, how's the planning for the construction of the Newbie Village?"

Su Xing grimaced, followed her, and walked to the largest wooden house.

The Wingman Maiden replied, "I intend to establish the Novice Village on a small plain ten kilometers from the Land of Origin, less than three kilometers away from the desert, and there will be occasional swarms of swamps, but there are not many of them. Now during this time, the number of little monsters has decreased a lot, which is just right for them to familiarize themselves with the environment. โ€

A few people sat on the floor in the wooden house, and immediately an invisible servant brought refreshments. Hot grass tea, crumpled bark cake, and a small plate of white worm eggs.

Su Xing looked at Ethel with a strange look in his eyes, drank a sip of turquoise herbal tea, and sighed comfortably. I couldn't help but ask, "Is this delicious?"

Ethel glanced at him and replied with a strange expression, "This thing is fermented grass juice, which can be drunk, but the taste is average." But now there is nothing more to do, and there is no better drink. โ€

Su Xing was stunned when he heard this, and then pointed to the bark-like cake and asked, "What about this?"

"Wellโ€”" the little girl of the winged man prolonged, "it's just a piece of bark, but it was plucked from the cake tree. Cake trees are our main source of food, but there aren't many of them anymore. The environment is so poor that it is difficult for a delicate plant like a cake tree to survive. โ€

Food is already scarce in the Vault, and it looks like we'll need to prepare a convenient food for the beta mice to fill their stomachs. Su Xing touched his chin and thought, what should he choose?

โ€œ...... It will be built into a new gathering place, and at the same time serve as the ultimate goal of the first phase of the closed beta testers. After they have accumulated enough experience on the other side, they will receive the main quest, requiring them to travel through the entire large area of the Flame Pillar and come here. Ethel blinked, "Your Excellency, what do you think of this setting?"

"Ahh โ€

Su Xing was awakened from his contemplation, he nodded and said, "This setting is good, but before this, will this place always be empty?"

She quickly shook her head and denied, "No, Lasso and I have already asked the birds and insects to spread the news for us, summoning all the survivors who may still be alive to come here." At the very least, there are a few hundred alive. She wiped her eyes a little sadly, "I didn't expect that there were only so few people left in the entire Vault world. โ€

Previously, when Su Xing obtained the ownership of the entire Vault World, he directly learned the number of survivors in the entire Vault World through some invisible connection: one thousand and twenty-seven. Compared to the early records in the Su Bai database, the time of the refuge twenty years ago, this number was 143,900. In just twenty years, the population of the Vault has rapidly collapsed under the attack of monsters. To this day, if Su Xing hadn't told her this fact, Ethel would have foolishly thought that there were still many tribes living far away.

"Hmm...... I can only express cautious support for this, didn't I say, can you two manage these people well?" Su Xing looked at the winged girl like a dwarf winter melon, and then at the big bird with a stupid face, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"No problem!" she smacked her flat chest, "I'm a priest, priest, just punish those who don't obey with divine magic!"

The Winged Man and the rest of the life in the Sanctuary world belong to a strictly theocratic society, where tribal chiefs and priests are the supreme rulers except for the ethereal gods. And now with Su Xing, a guy who can be called a reserve god from all angles, the status of the priest of Ethel will naturally rise, and whoever dares to disobey is directly the enemy of the theocratic rule that has lasted for an unknown number of years.

"No one is stupid enough to go against a fire-bearer, and it's too late for them to be happy to be protected by you. In a dreamy tone, she said, "Ahโ€”our world can flourish under the protection of the flames, and all things are silent, only the flames will last forever." โ€

Su Xing's face was black, "Okay, let's go ahead like this first, I'm going to see how the body prepared for them is doing." Also, how is the tidying up of the City of No Return going?"

"All the things that need to be moved have been sorted out, and we can start working on it when the follow-up machine arrives. The construction of the novice village has actually begun, after all, the workload is not large, just a few dozen thatched houses. โ€

Su Xing nodded, "Very good, I'll leave it to you next, you still have two days, and the engineering robot team will arrive later." โ€

......

Two days were fleeting.

The ticking clock made Xu Bo feel uneasy, and it was only an hour before the official start of the closed beta. He was troubled by some gains and losses, and he was anxious. Could it be just a prank, could it be that someone was deliberately spoofing him? All kinds of nonsense thoughts came and went, and he couldn't calm down at all.

"Detecting that the trainee's heart rate is irregular and the brain waves are slightly disturbed, do you need physical assistance?" The little goblin suspended next to his pillow said terrible words with an expressionless face, making Xu Bo's back cold.

"No, no, I just need to adjust my mood, I don't need any physical assistance!"

He quickly closed his eyes, took dozens of deep breaths, counted the sheep, counted them, and finally fell asleep.

"Good signal connection, first test, go!" X20

......

"Dear Reserve Savior, this is the Rainbow Bridge Customer Service Center, please receive your newbie gear. โ€

"Novice Stick / Novice Knife / Novice Pistol / Novice Sword. โ€

"Newbie shorts. โ€

"Savior's Notes Handbook. โ€

"10 primary grass breads. โ€

Xu Bo stood naked on a grass, drenched, and there was no one around, only a large glass tube held by a pestle behind him. That's where he was squirted.

He chose the novice knife with a confused face, and in the teaching mode of the past few days, he used this pig-killing knife to kill a lot of monsters. In addition, a pair of shorts, a thin book, and a bulging cloth backpack full of bread are all Xu Bo's belongings. And all these things are squirting out of the glass tube behind him.

Su Xinggao sat in the only intact command center in Najir Fa, and twenty pictures were divided on the big screen in front of him, and twenty bare-bottomed beings of different races were looking left and right in the picture, constantly doing all kinds of strange behaviors.

"The signal is good, the body is well matched, everything is fine!"

"It's good, start the task, it's time to let them understand the difference between the teaching mode and the actual combat. โ€
