Chapter 61: Gathering

If I can't beat animals, I can still pick wild fruits. In this game, there is still a lot of work to be done in addition to fighting. Having made up my mind, I walked towards a red bush.

This shrub forest is very large, and it is red for hundreds of miles, and it looks like a brocade from a distance. The bushes in the bushes, one in the east and one in the west, the fruits on the bushes are mostly red, but there are also a few other colors, and all the fruits are bright and full, shining, and look like a hill made of piles of precious stones.

The bush is also a playground for small animals, such as small squirrels, rabbits, minks, and so on. But few people catch them here, the bushes here are too dense, and most of them have long and short spikes. As long as these critters get into any bushes, the player can't do anything about them.

There were very few players in the bushes, there were not many around me, only a few female players scattered, but it didn't take long for them to go, and it was the spikes of the bushes that scared them away. Within 5 minutes of them picking wild fruits, I heard them screaming countless times, and then I saw them put their fingers in their mouths and suck them, and they dared to be stabbed.

As soon as they left, the whole bush was silent. The little animals were also very happy to see them gone, and ran out of the bushes, and just now they were frightened, and hid in the bushes. After all, with such a high-decibel sound, humans and beasts can't stand it. I also stumbled upon a bird flying by, frightened by their voice.

Now, the whole bush is mine. Even if I were to be stabbed by a spike and cry here, no one would see me, and certainly no one would laugh at my pitiful tears.

To be honest, this wild is really not done by people, and the spikes on the bushes always have a chance to give people a chance. As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, this is not wrong at all, on the fingers, even if it is stabbed shallowly by a small spike, the feeling of pain but lungs spreads all over the body at once, I finally understand, why those female players can make the birds flying in the sky, also scared to fall. It's a pain that I will never forget.

Picking wild fruits is very skillful, first of all, you must be accurate, otherwise, your fingers will not fall on the wild fruit properly, it will lean on the spikes. Secondly, the strength should also be just right, too light to pick the wild fruit, too heavy will pinch the wild fruit, that is all sauce fruit, pinch the flesh flying, juice splashing, dirty clothes not to mention, splashing into the eyes is enough for you, they are very irritating liquid. Moreover, underneath almost every wild fruit, there will be a sharp thorn waiting for you, so strong that not only will you crush the wild fruit, but the spike that is always ready will also be pinched by you, and if possible, they will pierce your fingers.

It was in this bush that I was picking wild fruit with caution, fear, and fear, but even so, I still had the most intimate contact with the spikes of the bush countless times, and the pain was inevitable. Pain is not the only thing I feel, I also feel the exertion of my body while picking wild fruits. Isn't it surprising that in online virtual games, the human body is immovable, and the immobile body feels tired in the game?

There are thorns in every place in the bushes, and if you are not careful, the pain will come unexpectedly. For this reason, I have to try to maintain my posture as much as possible, because after a long time, I will be sore and tired. Slowly, I started to feel irritable and sweat began to drip down. It's another disdain that players sweat in the game, but now I'm no longer surprised, it seems to be a natural thing, and it doesn't feel obtrusive at all.

I'm too tired to continue. So I stopped gathering wild fruits and sat down to rest. I loosened my collar so that the heat could escape. The wind blew, and a gentle breeze poured into my clothes, and then ran out again, taking away my irritability and leaving me with only a coolness. So comfortable, I moaned happily, the ancients said, "Labor is the best form of leisure." "Don't deceive me.

When I had enough rest, I went back to work, I didn't have a basket or anything like that for wild fruits, and I discarded all the wild fruits I picked up, and now I just need to improve my skills, and wild fruits have no value for me to pick them. Picking and picking, I suddenly found that my collection speed had accelerated, and at this time, there was a message prompting: "Congratulations, your gathering skill has been upgraded to level 2, your collection speed has increased, and agility has increased by 1 point." ”

Finally upgraded to a level, I'm very happy, but also secretly surprised, this skill upgrade system is really good, said that the speed of collection is faster, not a numerical improvement, but my own real experience, I don't know the reason for the upgrade, or I picked too much, because of my own proficiency.

I continued to pick wild fruits, took a break when I was tired, and then continued. As I picked it, I felt thirsty, so I threw a red, full-bodied wild fruit into my mouth. Yo! I hurriedly spit it out, it was really sour and astringent, what is this, why is it so unpalatable.

At this time, the system prompted again: "The EBC system has not been found, and the energy cannot be replenished, please install the EBC system, please consult for details." ”

EBC system? As I know, its full name is Energy Replenishment System, which is an online virtual game auxiliary tool specially developed by LX for the game "Taimeng". It refills the player equipped with the nutrient solution, with which the player can stay in the game for several days without coming out. According to the website, only when the EBC system is equipped, players can truly appreciate the extraordinary taste world of the game "Taimeng". I was very excited about the EBC system, but I had no choice but to sigh at it. It is too expensive, a set of EBC system costs 3,750,000 yuan, and its use also requires something called substance E, 1000 ml of substance E costs 30,000 yuan, and this 1000 ml of substance E is used in less than two weeks. It is not enough to have E substances, it also needs to add various substances needed by the human body such as vitamins, proteins, amino acids, normal saline and so on. LX mixes these things together to create something called an E-bomb, and puts the E-bomb into the EBC system, and the EBC system starts to work to replenish the player's energy. One e-bullet can continuously supply a 75kg player's body needs for a week. The asking price of an e-bomb is 25,000 yuan. With such a high price, ordinary people are out of reach, and only some wealthy people can use it.

In addition to the EBC system, LX has also introduced a number of tools tailored to the game Taimu, including several new specialized helmets. Among this large number of auxiliary tools, there is one tool that has also made countless people red, and it is the L-A system, the full name of which is fully automatic life management capsule. This fully automated life management capsule is sealed, and people can be in the game for many years inside. It will not only replenish all the substances that the player needs for the human body, but also the hygiene of human lazars, etc., it is all inclusive. LX has added a life detection system to it, no matter what abnormalities there are in the person, LX will know it as soon as possible, and people jokingly call it: the safest coffin for human beings. The price of this fully automatic life management capsule system is even higher, and one of its screws will take an ordinary small staff member to work for several years.

There is no EBC system, there is no fully automatic life management capsule, which does not affect us to play online virtual games, as long as we get off the plane every day to eat, drink water, and replenish our physical needs, we can also be in online virtual games.

I continued to pick wild fruits, and it didn't take long for my collection speed to speed up again, and before I could confirm it, the system prompted again: "Congratulations, your collection skill has been upgraded to level 3, your collection speed has increased, and agility has increased by 2 points." "I feel that my collection speed does not seem to increase all at once, but little by little, and I can't help but wonder even more, is it because of the upgrade of my skills that my collection speed has increased, or because of the increase in my collection speed?

Some say, does it make a difference? I said yes, and, that distinction is important to me. If it's the upgrade of my skills that leads to an increase in my gathering speed, then I just need to accumulate enough gathering experience. If my skills are upgraded because of my increased gathering speed, then I will actively increase my speed. Remember, it means to take the initiative and give full play to people's subjective initiative.

In order to figure out the difference between them, I began to concentrate on picking wild fruits, and put my various measurement methods into action, carefully and delicately experienced. However, there are some things that cannot be done according to one's own desires, and one's actions are limited by various conditions. For example, I want to speed up my collection, but as soon as I get faster, the accuracy of the head becomes worse, and my fingers often don't listen to my command and go straight to the place where there are many thorns. Moreover, if you take the initiative to speed up, you often can't control your strength, causing the juice to fly sideways and your fingers to be scarred.

Suffering from my pain, I tried to speed up the collection, but instead of doing so, my collection slowed down. Looking at the bloody fingers, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I would really ask for my own hardship.

However, the pain is not completely without cost, at least I learned that it is not just a matter of being quick to collect a harvest, it involves several things: accuracy, control of strength, order of fruit picking, distance of fingers from wild fruit, posture of hands, movement of wrists, vision of the eyes......

I know that with the right mix of these things, you can have the fastest collection speed, and I'm going to find the most reasonable mix between them, and when I figure out their rules, I'll also grasp the principle of speeding up the collection.

I kept experimenting, failing again and again, but the occasional success would increase my collection speed a lot, and I would be overjoyed. Slowly, I became so immersed in the mystery of the search for truth that I forgot that I was in a game and forgot my original purpose. I kept picking the wild fruits in my sight, when I was tired, I took a break, stopped to think, and when I was done, I continued to pick wild fruits, I entered my own personal world, and the outside things could not disturb me.

If there is no one next to me, the action is accurate, I am now like a wild fruit collection machine, my hands fly, ten fingers dexterously shuttle in the spikes of the bushes, consciously avoid one spike after another, even the small thorns hiding in the dark can not hurt me, my hands are more efficient, with the smallest angle, the most suitable distance, on the bushes like a dragonfly water, the action is extremely beautiful, every time it falls, there is a wild fruit I take up.

Slowly, I felt like I was getting more and more tired. My fingers are like the dexterous and charming hands of a pianist, and I am picking wild fruits, as if I am playing in a large hall of ten thousand people, and my ten fingers, which are as light as swallows, seem to have mastered some mysterious rhythm, beating happily on the black and white keys, sometimes a high symphony, sometimes a melodious serenade. My body is getting lighter and my heart is getting happier and happier. The music also follows my heart one after another.

I lost track of time, I forgot where I was. I just kept picking, picking wild fruits from bushes after bushes, I forgot how many levels my skills had improved, I forgot my speed, I forgot my hands, I forgot myself, I fell asleep.

Yes, I'm already asleep. But this kind of sleep is different from other sleeps, it is very shallow, very shallow. As soon as something bothers me, I wake up right away. But. I've now gone deep into the bushes, where there are no players, only small beasts. The little beast won't bother me, and I won't bother the little beast. So, I kept falling asleep.

The repetition of an action for a long time made it my subconscious, and now, my brain is mildly inhibited, and it completely surrenders the command of my body to the subconscious. The subconscious mind takes over the command of the body and directs the body's actions. The subconscious mind is amazing and powerful, it still pushes my body even when I am asleep, and my collection work does not stop. Under the command of my subconscious, my movements are more efficient and perfect. I'm now a complete machine, a machine that never tires and only knows how to pick wild fruits.

I don't know at some point, the consciousness returned to my body, I slowly woke up, the subconscious slowly withdrew, slowly, my brain took over the command of the body, and I was finally fully awake. It was as if I had had a long, long dream, and now I woke up, leaving only a little wisp of vagueness that I wanted to grasp, but it dissipated in my hand like a light smoke, and I tried to find it, but I could not find the slightest trace of it.

What a good sleep, I stretched out and took a deep breath, so fresh air, the sound of birds is really pleasant, the scenery here is good, the flowers are blooming, the sky is high and the clouds are clear. Ah, how did I end up here, I suddenly found myself still in the game, and I couldn't help but be surprised, I actually fell asleep in the game without knowing it!

This is impossible, the system will detect the human brain waves, as long as the human body reaches fatigue, the system will give a warning, if the player is not offline, the system will be forced out of the game, the game company does not allow players to sleep in the game. And now, I'm asleep here! I wouldn't consider this game made by LX to be an exception, and playing games with over-tired players is something that every game company tries to avoid.

I just wanted to check on my situation, but suddenly my stomach was overwhelming, my whole stomach was cramping, so uncomfortable, I hugged my stomach and squatted down. The hunger pangs hit my nerves stronger and stronger, and I knew that if I didn't eat anything, I would be cut off from the Internet. At this time, the warning of the system came out: "Warning, you need to eat, please go offline within 3 minutes." ”

Hurriedly quitting the game, I found the dry food I had prepared in the morning and ate it. Outside of the network, I don't feel hungry, I think maybe this game has some kind of system that can amplify some of the feelings of hunger, urine, poop and so on, so that the player can not miss the best time to excrete. It's not a glorious thing for a game company to get a player suffocated in a game.

After appeasing my belly brother, I didn't go directly to the game again, but ran to the special website of "Taimeng". I came here for nothing else, just to learn from the scriptures. Our ** once said: "Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high." Another sentence reads: "The power of the masses is great." "I'm just coming to the forum of this website to have a look, learn from the experience of different players, and avoid detours. The game has been launched for a night, and there will be quite a few players who are excited about the text on the forums.

My idea is not wrong at all, now on the forum of Taimeng.com, the number of posts left by players can be described as terrifying, the virtual fluorescent screen of updated information has been flashing, and the information scrolls so fast that people can't see anything directly on the virtual phosphor screen.

I'm using the query function here, and the keyword I'm typing in is "bug". Soon, dozens of messages that met my input requirements were displayed, and I started with the latest one, and quickly browsed the title of this one, which was "Nine major game companies join hands to catch bugs for LX company". The main messages are as follows:

LX's new game "Big Dream" did not pass the closed beta and open beta, and there may be fatal bugs in the game. In order to regain 90% of the game market share that was stolen by LX, the world's nine major game companies joined forces to gather the best computer experts, and nearly 3,000 people went to the game "Taimeng" to find bugs, hoping to use this bug to challenge LX.

The message said: "Starting at 8 p.m. on November 16, 3,000 top computer experts, as of 8 p.m. today, the top computer experts who have been working for 72 hours in a row, have not conclusively said that they have found any valuable bugs, and the executives of the nine major game companies have said that they will not give up and this cooperation project will continue." ”

"This LX company is really powerful, and the games it launched can't find big bugs, and it deserves to be the strongest group in the world." I sighed in my heart that none of the 3,000 top computer experts could find its vulnerability, not just a strong word. It seems that I want to find out some bugs in the game, and muffling to make a fortune is not going to work.

In 2025, the law stipulates that the company shall bear the economic losses caused by the existence of vulnerabilities in the system or other networks, and the user shall not be held responsible. For example, there is a place in the game "Taimeng" where you can risk money, which is a bug in the game "Taimeng". Some players learned about the bug and lost a lot of money to it. Later, the executives of the game company also found out and decided to eliminate the bug, and the game company could not also eliminate the gold coins that the lucky player had picked up. This also makes every game company have to test a new game by itself before launching a new game, and find that there are no major leaks, and then they have to pass the public beta, and finally no problems are found, and then the game company officially launches the new game. Now the online virtual game launched by LX does not go through these two procedures. directly promoted the new game, either there was too much money and nowhere to send it, or he boasted that he had superb network virtual skills, and others had no choice but to get him. I think LX is the second type.

There is no system in the world that does not have bugs, and these 3,000 so-called top computer experts have been looking for 72 hours and can't find it. I couldn't find a bug that worked for me, and the corners of my mouth went up, and I vented my frustration on the computer experts.

Suddenly, I remembered something, I jumped, 72 hours! I actually stayed in the game for 72 hours, but how could that be, I just played a little longer and slept again. In my memory, it has only been more than a day at most, how can it be so different? I took a quick look at my multi-meter, and I forgot that I was on the Internet, and I wouldn't be wearing a multi-meter on my hand. It didn't bother me, every site had a schedule, and it quickly figured out that I did spend three days in the game.

"It's over, I slept for three days, how could I sleep at such a critical moment! I was so painful that I wanted to slap myself. I am really a failure, the three days of novices, for us professionals, is the most important three days, with these three days, we can stand on a higher point than others, lose these three days, if there is no adventure, it is estimated that we will have to drink other people's scraps in the future.

With a feeling of remorse, I entered the online virtual game "Taimeng" in despair.

"What's going on?" As soon as I entered the game, I noticed a very strange phenomenon, in the endless bush jungle, there was a very long fruitless bush, which meandered until where I was. Then I found out that the fruit of these shrubs had been plucked, because there was a carpet of red wild fruits in the ground.

"This won't be what I did, it shouldn't be me, such a long distance, so many shrubs, I estimate that I have to pick it, it will not work without ten days and half a month, I have been picking it for three days, and I can't finish it!" But if it's not me, who else is there? "I looked at the extremely quiet bush around me, but I didn't see any other players. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Online Game Eternal Disobedience Law God Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
