XXXVII. The Post-War Rest and the Origin of the Farmer
"What, a new mission is coming again?" The giraffe said it at the same time when he received the system notification, and he seemed to be very annoyed, and he wanted to know that for us who feel the physical experience in sync with the real world, scouting the town and doing tasks today will consume a lot of physical strength, especially the two girls, one is a game streamer and an e-sports player in the real world, and it should be really tired.
"Don't do the mission today, let's take a rest first, and it's getting dark, we don't have the equipment to fight at night, and we can't do the mission." It is probably because he is worried about his teammates, and it is rare for the uncle to say something considerate, although he seems to be at ease. At this point, I remembered that Uncle Farmer was the only person who didn't reveal his real-world identity after he joined our team, so I asked:
"Uncle is different from us, you still seem to be at ease, you must have good physical strength in reality, right?"
"Haha, the young man has good eyesight! I didn't have a chance to say it before, but I'm a veteran and I'm used to it! ”
After the uncle finished speaking, it was the turn of the four of us to be shocked, originally thought that only game nerds would play this kind of game, but we didn't expect that there would be soldiers with combat experience in the real world among our teammates. Zebra, who was originally immersed in the world of automobiles, also came back to his senses and asked:
"I didn't expect that soldiers would also have this kind of game, and I thought that people who had experienced real combat training would look down on this so-called simulation shooting game."
After hearing this, the uncle laughed: "Let's go to the second floor and talk while resting!" I'm hungry! With that, he took the lead and left, and the four of us followed the uncle's pace with the rest of the supplies.
After arriving on the second floor, the five of us used the function of the kitchen to process the food, saying that it was processing, but in fact it changed from cold to hot, and the taste and the function of the food itself did not change much. The uncle said while putting the mushy food in the can into his mouth:
"My family was poor and I didn't have any background, so I had to join the army. Later, I didn't know how, I became a guard when I was taken by the leader, and occasionally helped the leader deal with some tasks, compared to the regular soldiers, it was easy, but it was not interesting. Uncle escaped for a moment, "So as soon as it expires, I will retire to participate in other jobs, occasionally itchy hands want to touch the gun, just come to experience this infiltration game, but I didn't expect to be trapped in the game to participate in the inexplicable mission, now I don't want to touch the gun!" ”
After speaking, the uncle laughed and cleaned up the remaining cans.
"Oh, because you're a guard, that's why you say you're good at indoor combat and like to use short guns?" I asked.
"Haha, yes! The guards are all armed with pistols, and they usually fight in an indoor environment! So even though I'm a soldier, I might not be as good at spear as you are! ”
"Ha, that's why I took such a risk to chase NPCs with a pistol when I was doing a mission just now, it turned out to be a professional habit." Meow Meow Rice reacted that she was still as observant and straightforward as ever.
After listening to the farmer's uncle's past, I sensed that he was hiding something, but after all, it was just a meeting in the game world, and there was no need to ask the truth. I don't know if the others have the same idea, before the break, we talked about it for a while, but no one talked about your real-world identity. It's just that before the meeting ended, I had everyone take a walkie-talkie.
After returning to the assigned room, I opened my sleeping bag and lay inside, a feeling of fatigue hit me that I hadn't felt in a long time, and I fell into a deep sleep for the first time in the game world.
