Halberd World.

It was another day and night change, Xia Yan got up early and clicked on the tree icon on the personal panel for the first time.

Irrigation information was not updated.

The tree growth value is still 2/100, and Xia Yan said to himself in disappointment:

"The player (tool man) is not powerful."

Chen Zhiyuan's situation is relatively special, his progress is fast, which is normal, but several other elite personnel who have been screened by the system have not made any phased achievements in the past day, which really shouldn't be.

The system also said that create star recipes and complete star assessments.

Or some special act.

For example, behaviors that affect the main line of the world and then cause deviations.

These are sure to complete an irrigation in one go.

"Is there any way to promote the activity and motivation of these guys?"

"Let those who want to mix and salted fish have to get out of the state of touching fish and go to fight monsters diligently to upgrade?"

Xia Yan continued as usual, took a glass of water, and swallowed a 'calming pill'.

The thoughts that were originally muddled when I got up early became clear in an instant.

Promote competition between players?

For example, the cooking rank ranking, the recipe power ranking......

But when I think of the fact that there are only a few players, the atmosphere can't be stirred up, and the top ten on the list are even not satisfied.

Forget it.

And, in the end, his paradise world, food and cuisine are the main theme.

The screening mechanism of the system is very likely to include the hidden condition of "love", otherwise how to explain it, several players who have logged in online are either food UP masters, or trainee chefs and fanatical gourmets.

"Niche games, niche paradises, high quality is high, but I'm afraid that the personnel are too Buddhist, and there is no fierce competition atmosphere."

In this regard, Xia Yan is not helpless.

It occurred to him suddenly.

When I first saw 'Zhiyuan Star' Chen Zhiyuan, this guy threw away his temperament and was enthusiastic about the food items that could be tasted.

And he, is the "producer" of such projects.

Compared to the natives who issued tasks in Paradise World, he undoubtedly had a higher level of authority.

Opening the system store panel and looking at the specialties on it, Xia Yan's eyes flashed: "People die for money, birds die for food, these things, even big guys like Dojima Silver, are extremely eager." ”

"System, you always say my panel is unique."

"Publish a task or something, Ji Cao, right?"

……

The real world, Tokyo.

A well-known video station outside the wall, Sumiko Aono took advantage of the weekend and holiday to broadcast live on time according to the notification message sent on social platforms a few days ago.

Sing and sing.

Play a game.

It's almost another live broadcast of fishing.

Of course, as a Vtuber, who has fans and a dismal number of followers, he can't support himself just by monetizing the traffic of more than 1,000 people in the live broadcast, so Sumiko Aono has already worked in a high-end café in Minato Ward.

Just because there is a small audience does not mean that the barrage is also bleak.

On the contrary, there are a lot of fanatical die-hard fans, and she just finished singing the barrage and rolled through it densely, but most of them were water barrages like "grass" and "WWWWW".

Fans have also discovered that the status of this virtual UP master has not been right recently.

I can't get motivated.

Looking at a barrage that cared about herself, Sumiko Aono hugged the pillow and said with a pout: "Because a restaurant I often go to suddenly closes, it's been a month, and I suspect it's closed." ”

"It's not a Western restaurant, it's a Japanese restaurant."

"It's just an ordinary Chinese restaurant, but let's tell you, don't go, it's scary, there are only spicy dishes, or all the dishes are dark and spicy."

"Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely dark restaurant!"

Today's live broadcast task is completed, turn off the computer, Aono Sumiko thought for a while, and then changed into a pair of long pants and long-sleeved sportswear, at this time, it was just in the evening to jog near the apartment for exercise.

So she took the elevator to the ground, and Sumiko Aono ran directly across the viaduct and headed for Shitamachi on the other side of the canal.

Familiar streets.

A small single-family building with a wooden sign with the words 'Chinese cuisine' on it looks very inconspicuous among the Edo-style guesthouses in Shitamachi.

Sumiko Aono found that the door of the restaurant was closed, and although she had expected it, her face was also disappointed.

Store Manager Xia, where did you go?

It's been a month without a trace.

I don't think I really owe a lot of debts and run away and go back to China.

Hey, jogging, Aono Sumiko realized that she was not the lonely watchman, and on the stairs diagonally opposite the restaurant, there was an uncle in blue overalls with a scarred face, leaning on the railing, quietly leaning on it and smoking.

The orange-red sunset sprinkled on the stairs and fell on the uncle's face, making his face full of indescribable depression.

"I didn't open the door again......"

Aono Sumiko approached, and happened to hear the uncle snuff out the cigarette butt and curse in a low Kansai dialect.

She knew this uncle named Takashi Shimada.

Seriously calculated, this is the sixth time that she has come to the restaurant from time to time to try her luck to see if Manager Xia has returned.

"Uncle Shimada." Sumiko Aono greets.

Takashi Shimada pretended to be cool and threw the extinguished cigarette butt into the flower bed a little in front of the sunset stairs, and it is worth mentioning that there were two bottles of bubble tea abandoned in the middle of the flower bed tiles.

After not taking a few steps, Takashi Shimada stopped, with his back to the girl who ran up the stairs and was wearing a sportswear ponytail: "Will Store Manager Xia come back?" ”

Sumiko Aono looked back at the setting sun, looking at the old houses in Shitamachi, including the restaurant, bathed in a golden light.

Further afield, the Tokyo Metropolitan Viaduct, the sparkling canals of the city, and then the skyscraper where she currently lives.

"I sent him a lot of messages, and they all showed unread." Sumiko Aono said, and suddenly her eyes widened.

Click.

The wooden sign at the door, with the generously open door panel, shook a little.

A man walked out of the house, his palms raised between his eyebrows, apparently watching a corner of Tokyo at sunset, his face showing trance and emotion.

……

Time goes back a few minutes ago.

[Coming soon.] 】

[Countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7......]

In fact, time is very fast, and the remaining half of the time in the Halberd World has also been exhausted.

Xia Yan was ready to return a day ago.

First of all, destroy all your notes and small notebooks without leaving a trace.

Secondly, it was to Yishihui and Jiu I according to the discipline, respectively, sent a farewell text message, the content is nothing more than that there is an urgent matter in the country and has to suspend school, and he believes that the system will help arrange other loopholes, and even he can rejuvenate and become a sixteen-year-old boy, for the next time he reasonably returns to the halberd and returns to the far moon, the system will be able to justify itself.

He didn't know when the next time he would come back, because the growth progress of the 'Twisted Tree' was not optimistic.

[The task starts to settle.] 】

[Complete the quest - 'The Beginning of the Great Society.'] 】

[Rating: A+.] 】

[A review above will trigger additional rewards.] 】
