Chapter 3: Hunting Hogweed
Now, those diaries that Fang Xiaoxiao regarded as literacy and pastime have become Fang Xiaoxiao's greatest wealth who came to this time period inexplicably!
Although "Battle of the Peak" is a game, its realism is similar to the real world, and you need to be patient and careful, just like you would live in the real world.
All players were originally outcasts, and they fled here, which is considered a black household, and if they want to get a hukou, they must obtain the approval of the residents of this area.
The first batch of novice players who arrived didn't know this, and they thought of this place as a quest flow world, and took a lot of detours.
Pigweed is not a light man, the grass that pigs can eat in this neighborhood is basically cleaned, and if you want to hunt pigweed, you must go deep into the mountains.
The grass there is lush, but there are small monsters and certain dangers, so the villagers usually don't go inside at all.
Therefore, this pigweed is more beaten, although it cannot be sold in the village for money, but it is a good choice to give a gift, and it can also leave an impression of being knowledgeable and interested, diligent and polite.
Rookie players don't have space equipment, and if they want space equipment, they must reach the 'Immortal Gate' to get it, otherwise they can only see if there are any adventures in this area.
Fortunately, although she can't weave baskets, she can knead straw ropes.
This skill can be regarded as a mistake, there is such a crazy woman on the spaceship, who likes to twist the thread into a rope, and then coldly comes out and strangles people's necks, killing many people.
Later, Fang Xiaoxiao secretly learned this craft, or to bind those crazy women.
She hadn't used this skill for a long time, Fang Xiaoxiao was a little handy, but fortunately, there was a lot of dead grass on the side of the road, which could give her enough time to practice.
The fabric she used to rub was torn into strips or thin threads, which was still a little different from the dead grass, but after researching it, she figured it out.
She wasted some time rubbing a pile of straw ropes, and then she found a fist-sized rock on the ground.
The novices were unequipped, only dressed in clothes, and the men were in short coats and trousers, which were in tatters.
The woman is a liner and a tunic, which is equally shabby, but is well sewn with patches.
Fang Xiaoxiao tied the straw rope to her body, a thick layer, which made her look a little strange, but it could also play a certain protective role, and the stones in her hands were used by her as a weapon.
Fang Xiaoxiao doesn't know the so-called pigweed, but her current identity is a homeless person, she fled from other places, and according to the setting, she is also from a farmer, so she knows most of the wild vegetables.
The system will give a certain hint, which is a kind of hunch, so that she can recognize the grass as an edible wild vegetable without knowing it.
Of course, picking wild vegetables is not that simple.
The wild vegetables on the mountain have monster handles, and the monsters near this village are beasts, Fang Xiaoxiao estimated that he touched a direction and walked towards the mountain, and before he went far, he saw a gray-haired rabbit hiding in the high grass, looking at her quietly.
The hare Fang Xiaoxiao saw it for the first time, and she knew that this should be the monster in the game.
The real rabbit is timid and afraid of people, but the rabbit in the game is not, it is like a silent hunter, if it weren't for Fang Xiaoxiao's very good idea of those grasses, he might not have found it!
Fang Xiaoxiao's courage was not small, he slowed down and concentrated on taking two steps over there, and the rabbit really came out directly!
Its speed was too fast, and it crashed straight into Fang Xiaoxiao's arms, knocking her into a stumbling moment, turning around was a rabbit kick, and the strength was so great that it made Fang Xiaoxiao take two steps back, almost not standing firm!
However, she was wrapped in a thick straw rope, which alleviated some damage for her, but she didn't hide or dodge, and she hugged indiscriminately, which really made her grab a piece of hare fur!
The rabbit hair is not long, she grabbed the hair of the rabbit's back buttocks, and she will get rid of it after a little break, of course the rabbit can't help but struggle, Fang Xiaoxiao is also in a hurry to hold the rabbit into her arms, and she can't care about the scratches and bites on her hands, on the one hand, she hugs the rabbit as much as possible, and on the other hand, she grabs the rabbit's neck fiercely, and strangled the rabbit to death!
Fang Xiaoxiao is also a ruthless person, just look at the way she killed the rabbit, the sleeves of her clothes were torn by the rabbit, her arms and hands were injured, and when she saw blood, she didn't let go at all, as if she couldn't feel the pain at all.
strangled the hare alive, Fang Xiaoxiao naturally tied the rabbit to her waist, strangled the hare's neck with a straw rope, tied a knot, and then tied it around her waist, which was considered to be alive.
After that, it's time to shoot pigweed.
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't have a suitable tool, she could only use her hands, her hands were still injured, so the flesh and blood were even more blurry, but she didn't feel the pain at all, and she did it very seriously.
The calculation method of the character's blood volume in "Battle of the Peak" is very close to reality, and there is no fixed blood value, and the character will only die if he is fatally wounded, bleeding excessively, or he dies of poisoning, etc., so the hand is broken and bleeding a little, which is not a big injury, as long as you can endure the pain, it is completely okay to continue to do things.
And the drop of "Battle of the Peak" is also as close to the real world as possible.
After the monster is killed,,It won't explode anything directly.,The monster's body won't be refreshed.,Players can get rewards from the monster's body.,You can also carefully look for the monster's lair.,The nest is one of the monster's refresh points.,Luck.,Before another monster refreshes,Maybe you can find something from the nest.,You can also look for it near the monster's activity.,Maybe you can also find something useful.。
The refresh of the next hare was not fast, Fang Xiaoxiao had almost pulled out the grass, and the new rabbit was refreshed.
The hare came out of a small hole, and after seeing the bare surroundings and the turned dirt, the hare froze for a moment as if it had been stimulated by something, and then launched a fierce attack on Fang Xiaoxiao!
Fang Xiaoxiao was not stunned at all, and even waited for this rabbit to attack for a long time.
was also bumped into his arms, because of the first experience, Fang Xiaoxiao hugged it in time this time, and was stunned to get stuck in one of the rabbit's retreats, and then, Fang Xiaoxiao pounced directly!
That's a real flutter! He fell down without hesitation, and before the hare could react, he was directly knocked unconscious!
Fang Xiaoxiao was not easy with this flutter, even if there was a thick straw rope as a buffer, she was also breathed for a moment, but the effect was good.
She struggled to get up from the ground, then grabbed the fainted rabbit and twisted the other party's neck three hundred degrees in a ruthless way!
This rabbit has to die if it doesn't die, and she tied it to her waist like before, one on each side, but it weighed a little.
The hare is not big, one is only four or five catties, but two hares are hung on the body, and the weight is still a bit laborious for a homeless person who lacks food and clothing.
This is the result of the balance of the system, Fang Xiaoxiao's physical fitness is not like this, but novice players are like this, no matter what the original physical fitness is, the novice stage will be balanced into a state of homeless people with little food and clothing, but with the upgrade or the passage of game time, the physical strength of the novice will slowly return to the normal level.
The two hares are about eight or nine catties, almost ten catties, and for a female homeless person, these weights still have a certain burden.
But Fang Xiaoxiao didn't care about this at this moment, she was studying how to pick up the rabbit nest at this time.
If the monster lair is destroyed, it will take a full game day to recover, and no new rabbit monsters will spawn until it is restored.
Digging a rabbit nest is not a simple matter, the key is that she has no suitable tools, she can only dig with branches, fortunately this game is not really that real, the rabbit nest is not deep, and it has not reached the point of the cunning rabbit three holes in the real world.
Fortunately, Fang Xiaoxiao's efforts were not in vain, she found a broken money bag in the rabbit nest, which contained twelve copper coins.
The purchasing power of copper coins is still very good in the village, which is the beginning of the game, and the rewards in the monster lair are very rich, and when there are more people in the future, the monster lair is patronized more times, and the rewards will not be so rich.
After putting the copper coin and the worn-out money bag together, Fang Xiaoxiao began to concentrate on sorting out the weeds.
There are a lot of weeds, she still hard-cut down, most of them are pulled out with roots and soil, these have to be dealt with, the roots are not needed, and the tender parts of wild vegetables are also carefully broken off, these can also be eaten.
She laid out the old herbs and tied them with straw ropes, and the young ones were wrapped in large leaves and tied with straw ropes.
There are a lot of old weeds, where they are piled up there is half a person high, and the weight is not light, don't think about it, you can only carry it.
Fang Xiaoxiao tried several times before he simply made a strap out of straw rope and struggled to carry this large pile of weeds.
This is the beginning of the game, these weeds have not been destroyed, and they grow luxuriantly and in large numbers.
When the number of players here increases, there are more tramples, or they are injured when fighting monsters, and these weeds will gradually disappear.
Taking advantage of the fact that the players are still helpless, Fang Xiaoxiao is ready to work harder and strive to be able to get the household registration done quickly.
In this way, she followed the path to the village, passing by the City God Temple, where it was already silent.
She walked forward, fortunately, the village was not far from the City God Temple, she saw the old locust tree at the entrance of the village from a distance, took a deep breath, lifted her spirits, and moved her tired legs with difficulty.
At this time, the player is still in the village, chirping and looking for the village people to ask for tasks, the villagers are simply not very bothered, and they have released some painless small tasks with a cold face, and the favorability is down, only the player doesn't understand anything, but is happy because he got the task.
Of course, Fang Xiaoxiao's carrying such a large pile of grass into the village also attracted many people's ideas, but most of them just looked at it strangely, and only a small number of people in the village saw that their eyes fell on the hare on Fang Xiaoxiao's waist, and their eyes were more or less bright.
The player's initial identity is that he is a homeless person, and the background is that he has been affected by a disaster somewhere, displaced, fled to this place, and was arranged here by the local county order.
Of course, the homeless people who settled in this village could not be only the player, but also some real homeless.
The real homeless and the player can see the difference at a glance, the player comes in with the mentality of playing the game, and there is no worry about the livelihood on his face, while the real homeless is working silently, and the problem of settling down early is also in his heart.
If you can focus on these outcasts, you will be able to learn about their background and whether they are still black.
It's just that these homeless people are not easy to talk about, their expressions are the same, sad and numb, and they work silently like a background board, and they don't look as smart as the villagers at all.
Fang Xiaoxiao's appearance is very similar to that of a homeless person, his clothes are in tatters, and his whole person is dirty, looking like a beggar.
Fang Xiaoxiao walked through the crowd with her head down, her destination was very clear, it was the village chief's house.
The courtyard of the village chief's house is the largest in the whole village, and the position of the village chief has been passed down from father to son in this family for three generations, so it is considered to be a very stable position in the village.
Fang Xiaoxiao arrived at the door of the village chief's house, the village chief's youngest daughter was feeding the chickens, using bran and old rice, although the clothes she was wearing looked old, but there were no patches, at first glance, she was a rare rich family in the village, and her family background was very solid.
Fang Xiaoxiao also withdrew her gaze after just a glance, knocked on the door with low eyebrows, the little daughter saw Fang Xiaoxiao's appearance, her shrewd big eyes turned around on the pigweed behind Fang Xiaoxiao's back, and then she greeted her with a smile.
The village chief is also a little old, and his youngest daughter is also fourteen or fifteen years old this year, and she has already said that she will get married next year.
The timeline in the game is always forward, which means that many missions are one-off, and some missions can even change depending on what the player does.
The youngest daughter opened the door for Fang Xiaoxiao, and opened her mouth to ask.
"Outlander, is there something wrong with you?"
asked like this, but his footsteps didn't move for half a minute, obviously not planning to give way to Fang Xiaoxiao.
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't seem to notice the other party's defense, she put the pigweed on her back on the ground, and naturally greeted the village chief's youngest daughter.
"I went up the mountain today, this is some pigweed that I picked up, it is not valuable, I heard that the village chief's family has pigs, so I sent them by the way, thanks to the village chief's care."
This means that it was given away for nothing, and sure enough, the village chief's youngest daughter's face was much better, and she also had some smiles.
"It's up to you to be polite, although it's not a valuable thing, but it's also quite time-consuming, how embarrassing is this, why don't you come in and sit down and drink saliva?" The village chief's youngest daughter asked, but her steps did not move for half a minute.
Fang Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to, and then said.
"I'm also handy, and I hit some pigweed, so it's not troublesome."
Saying that, Fang Xiaoxiao was about to leave, but when the village chief's youngest daughter saw it, she hurriedly stopped her.
"Wait, hey, don't go yet, I have something I want to ask you."
Fang Xiaoxiao stood still, knowing that this was done.
She turned to look at the village chief's youngest daughter, who said to her.
"That's it, I think you're quite pitiful, our family is indeed a little busy, why don't you just live in my house, my family will provide you with two meals, but you have to feed my pigs, what do you think?"
This is the mission, and in the void, a translucent note slowly unfolds, and the task of beating pigweed is impressive on it.
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the village chief's youngest daughter without squinting, and responded with a smile.
"Well, thank you so much."
With that, she untied the two rabbits from her waist and handed them to the village chief's youngest daughter.
The village chief's youngest daughter was not polite, and directly reached out to take it, and then gave way, signaling that she could come in.
As for the big bundle of pigweed, of course, Fang Xiaoxiao still needs to carry it in.
