Last night, Blowing Snow really hadn't logged in to the game yet, and Xu Ran didn't dare to log in to the game at night, so he could only concentrate on sleeping. On the morning of May Day, after Xu Ran went out to drink soup at 7 o'clock, he went home and started to log in to the game.

When Xu Ran is awake now, logging in to the 'Dream Game' is much faster than before, and when he lies down, he can log in to the game interface in about 1 minute; Xu Ran felt that his energy was more vigorous than before, and he didn't know if it was because his mental power was improving. For Xu Ran, if he wants to learn skills in the game, he has to spend money; For him, the only way to get game currency is to work in the game, and the most lucrative livelihood in the game is still to strike iron.

Therefore, no matter how much he wanted to improve his mental power quickly, or quickly learn a high-level martial art, he had to earn the game currency first. Of course, there are also part-time jobs in the game that can be directly exercised and mentally strengthened, but the salary of that type of work is too low; Xu Ran is not clear now, whether the purely improved spiritual power itself will have any combat effectiveness; But he already knew that the 'Spiritual Skill Skill: Spiritual Thorn' could only be learned when the spiritual power value reached 11, and at that time, it would inevitably involve game currency.

In addition, from the feeling point of view, Xu Ran felt that if he wanted to upgrade his mental power from 6 to 11, it was not destined to be a very fast process, and it would inevitably take a considerable amount of time; And now what can benefit quickly from the game is to practice martial arts; And it can definitely be regarded as a quick way to learn martial arts.

Considering that everything should have a priority, since it is not clear how long he will stay in the game, Xu Ran's purpose is: "Earn money and learn martial arts as soon as possible; At that time, even if I will never have a relationship with the 'dream game' again, I can be regarded as having gained a skill from the game, just like 'ten birds in the forest, it is better to have one bird in hand.' 'It is not in vain, and it has been worthwhile. "It's also worth noting that striking iron not only earns in-game currency, but also improves strength and stamina, so why not.

After coming to the blacksmith shop, Xu Ran tried to use a sledgehammer, but he still felt a little difficult; Although I can dance, I don't feel like it lasts, so I still choose to use the hammer. Using a small hammer to hit iron, Xu Ran can now easily deal with it, and he usually works for half a day and doesn't feel tired, so he just thought about trying to see if he could use a sledgehammer to practice; Since it feels hard to use a sledgehammer, it is better not to do it, in case you can't complete your work tasks, your salary will be deducted, or if you flash your waist, it won't be cost-effective.

When Xu Ran walked on the road of the novice village, he was able to meet all kinds of people, and he felt that there were still many people playing in the game; But whether he is in the blacksmith shop or in the martial arts hall, he has never met other players, maybe this is the game, deliberately set up.

In the game, Xu Ran hit the iron and rested; The NPC boss facing the blacksmith shop doesn't talk much, but he doesn't feel lonely. Being able to strike iron with one mind and concentration may also be related to the fact that it is easier to concentrate in the game; Otherwise, it is easy to get bored after a long time of boring work.

Xu Ran felt that the game itself should have the function of condensing attention, otherwise it would not be in the game, no matter how noisy and disturbed the outside world was, and the people who entered the game would not wake up; And people in the game can't exit the game without going through the exit panel.

After quitting the game at noon, Xu Ran considered recovering his energy and postponed the time to log in to the game in the afternoon to 16 o'clock; After lunch, I took a lunch break from 13 o'clock to 16 o'clock until the alarm table woke me up.

At noon, because the lunch break is to sleep peacefully, there is no interface for game login to appear during sleep. After waking up, Xu Ran didn't get up, directly concentrated, called up the game interface, and then logged in; When logging in, Xu Ran paid attention to his personal information: mental power: 5 (normal is 6); Strength: 9; Stamina: 7 (normal is 8); HP: 50 (was 60). Mental strength, physical strength, and blood volume have decreased, only strength has not changed.

It should be two logins to the game, the time interval is too short, and the consumption of mental and physical strength has not yet recovered; The level of blood volume should be divided according to mental power. When Xu Ran arrived at the blacksmith shop, he found that as he expected, he didn't feel any change in the time in the game and the situation he usually entered; Xu Ran still worked for half a day as usual. When I work in the afternoon, I don't know if it's a mental effect; Xu Ran felt that he was indeed not as energetic as he was in the morning; Although I still had a full day and half a day, I felt a lot more tired than usual. From the personal information when logging into the game, you can find the reason, which should be affected by the decline in mental strength, physical strength and blood volume.

However, he was quite satisfied with the fact that he was able to work for a full day, and achieved his goal of earning two silver coins a day; The silver coins earned were still kept with the blacksmith as usual. When I woke up at night, it was already 20 o'clock, and while I was busy with hot dishes and hot rice, I logged in to QQ. When it's hot, bring it directly to the computer and start eating. Every day, as long as they are free at night, the three of them will definitely go to their own QQ group to take a look; The three of them now have a little, common secret, although they don't know much about this secret, but they can be regarded as having a common language, and they are willing to communicate with each other.

"Peacock" and "Big Stone" also often posted some posts to the outside world, asking if there was a total of May 2 morning, when Xu Ran went out to drink soup and came back to lie down on the bed, it was not half past seven; At half past eleven o'clock in the morning, Xu Ran completed half a day's ironwork in the 'Dream Game' and withdrew from the game. Last night's 'Blowing Snow' was as usual and had not yet logged in to the game, which made Xu Ran very hesitant whether he should take the risk of logging in to the game at night; After thinking about it again, he still decided to log in to the game at night, and he should think about it after the May Day holiday at the earliest.

Now that he can play two games in one day, and if he enters the 'dream game' more, it is likely that he will not be able to bear it mentally; Therefore, even if he can log in to the 'Dream Game' at night, he still has to limit the number of times he enters the game to no more than two times a day, so he doesn't have to log in to the game at night during the seven-day holiday of May Day.

At noon, Xu Ran went to bed from half past 12 o'clock, and still made trouble until 16 o'clock; After being woken up by the alarm, when Xu Ran logged in to the game interface, he took a look at his personal information: mental power: 5, (normal is 6); Strength: 9; Stamina: 8; HP: 50, (normal is 60).

Compared with the same period yesterday, the physical strength has returned to normal values, which is considered an improvement; Mental strength and blood volume are the same as yesterday, and they have not been able to return to normal levels; Xu Ran didn't think about it so much, and went directly to the blacksmith shop to complete the blacksmithing task.

After being busy again in the afternoon and going offline, Xu Ran felt that he didn't seem to be tired yesterday; If you think about it, one is that when you enter the 'dream game' in the afternoon, your physical strength has been restored; Another is speculation, the smallest unit of the game's division of mental power is 1, so even if there is a change in mental power, if this change is in the range of a few tenths of a tenth, it will not be visible.

Xu Ran decided to follow today's schedule to determine the game login time for the past few days of the holiday. In the next few days, Xu Ran kept logging in to the game twice a day in the morning and afternoon; At night, the player blows snow and is still not online, but Xu Ran doesn't take it seriously for the time being.

In terms of mental state in the past few days, after quitting the 'dream game' in the afternoon, Xu Ran will feel a little weaker than before, and the amount of food has become a little bigger, and his appetite is better than before.

Xu Ran's breakfast is still 10 yuan of beef soup every day; Considering that in the past few days of the May Day holiday, he has to enter the game independently twice a day, Xu Ran deliberately bought half a catty of pork belly every day and ate it with side dishes at noon and night, and even ate it for a few days, and he still felt that he didn't have enough to eat.

On the morning of May 5th, when Xu Ran landed, he received good news that his mental power and blood volume had increased by an order of magnitude; The personal information has changed to: Mental Power: 7 (was 6); Strength: 9; Stamina: 8; HP: 70 (was 60).

This made him very happy. You must know that Xu Ran has experienced 24 game activities since he started playing on April 15 and entering the 'dream game' alone, although his mental power value has increased from 6 to 7, which is only an increase of 1 point, but at least he is told that this kind of 'iron' method can also improve his mental power value; So this makes him very happy, which is equivalent to the fact that he can still take care of the improvement of 'mental power' without delaying his own earnings, which may prove that his own preferential choice and 'iron' game method is indeed the wisest choice.

When you log in again in the afternoon of the same day, the mental power and blood volume in the personal information have also increased by an order of magnitude compared to the afternoon of the previous few days, and the personal information is displayed as: mental power: 6 (the normal value is 7); Strength: 9; Stamina: 8; HP: 60 (normal is 70).

On the morning of May 6, Xu Ran decided to try using a sledgehammer again when striking iron; The sledgehammer can be 1/2 heavier than the small hammer, Xu Ran uses the sledgehammer, I think it is a little laborious, and it is not as easy to use as a small hammer; However, considering that it should be helpful for exercising physical strength and strength, and perhaps it is also good for exercising mental strength, Xu Ran plans to try and practice using a sledgehammer to strike iron.

Fortunately, although the sledgehammer is heavy and laborious to use, due to the large forging force when using the sledgehammer, the frequency of swinging the sledgehammer is less when forging the same blank; Overall, it's not very physically demanding, but the requirements for strength are higher.

Xu Ran was busy all morning, although he felt a little tired, but he was able to persevere and did not affect the iron-making work. When he logged in to the game again that afternoon, Xu Ran found that the mental power in his personal information had become 5 again (normal is 7), and his physical strength had also become 7 (normal is 8); It should be the heavy physical labor in the morning, and the consumption of mental energy should still be larger. In the afternoon, Xu Ran still changed back to using a small hammer to strike iron, although he felt tired, he still completed the day's work.

On the last day of the May Day holiday, Xu Ran still used a sledgehammer to strike iron in the morning, and switched to a small hammer in the afternoon; The personal information that you logged in twice on the same day is the same as yesterday. However, the feeling at the end of the day should be better than yesterday, and if this is not a psychological effect, it means that he has adapted a little. I'm going to start work tomorrow, and Xu Ran is also thinking about whether tomorrow is the evening and I want to take the risk of landing in the game.

That night, on QQ, when I entered the 'Dream Walker Group', the private chat message of "Peacock" had already been sent: "Brother Camel, hello! I can now remember my username and password. Xu Ran happily replied, "Congratulations." Xu Ran then replied: "I'll tell you about some of the situations that we should pay attention to next." ”

Next, Xu Ran introduced to "Peacock" in the private chat window, what he knew, about the situation of the "Novice Village", and the method of logging in to the game, and suggested that the real name of "Peacock" Peacock is Kong Xiuying, who is 24 years old this year; Graduated from Zhongzhou Academy of Fine Arts, studying animation design; Due to his good grades in school, after graduation, he was fortunate to find a job in animation design in an animation company in Zhongzhou City, Central Plains Province; Now that she has been working for more than two years, Kong Xiuying is quite satisfied with her career.

Kong Xiuying's work unit has two days off a week, and Kong Xiuying never asks for leave; After listening to Xu Ran's introduction of the 'Dream Game' and the 'Newbie Village' last night, I was a little anxious and wanted to go in and see it immediately. As soon as I went to work during the day on the 8th, I was still struggling with what reason to ask the director for leave, and finally I went to tell the director that I would receive students from other places in the afternoon; The director was cheerful and told her not to delay her work.

Kong Xiuying and a female colleague rented a 2-bedroom house near the company; The female colleague's home is from other places, and Kong Xiuying's family is from Zhongzhou City, but it is far away from the company, so she usually lives in a rented house except for weekends and going home. Breakfast and lunch for two people are generally eaten outside, only dinner will be AA system, go back and make your own. After eating at noon, she said hello to her colleagues and went back to bed.

I had the obsession of logging in to the 'dream game', and sure enough, in a half-dream, I saw the game login interface; According to the way introduced by the camel, after logging in, Kong Xiuying took a look at her personal information: Mental power: 6; Strength: 5; Stamina: 5; HP: 60. Yesterday the camel reminded her to pay attention to her personal information; She also asked about the camel's personal information.

For her strength and physical strength, although it is not high, she also accepts it, after all, she is a girl; As for the mental power value that can reach 6, although she herself has such an expectation, she is still very happy after seeing the real results; After all, this value is the same as when Xu Ran first entered, so it shouldn't be low.

After Kong Xiuying entered the 'Novice Village', she walked around; The places where she can work have learned that blacksmithing and carpentry are heavy physical work, and she doesn't want to do it, and she thinks she can't do it; The grazing salary is low, although she can exercise her mental strength, she does not want to do it for the time being; She also agreed with Xu Ran's point of view: "Seize the time first, learn some martial arts to defend yourself, and then think about and cultivate spiritual power." ”

Knowing that learning martial arts costs money, she chose a job that she felt was suitable for her; That is to go to work in a clothing store. The salary of working in a clothing shop is 5 copper coins for half a day; After entering the clothing store and negotiating with the boss, Kong Xiuying began a part-time job in the game. Kong Xiuying worked in the clothing shop to make leather armor; The object of the work is a leather brace linked with copper rivets, the rivets only intermittently connect the leather goods, and she must sew the leather goods that need to be connected with sutures.

The boss showed her how to sew the leather goods together correctly with a thimble and needle and thread, and then gave her the thimble and needle and thread, and began to let her work on her own; And told her that a qualified journeyman should sew a piece of armor in half a day, and the salary for sewing a piece of armor is 5 copper coins.
