(27) The father's thoughts, the children's doubts

Contract players can't fight, but they have an advantage over non-contract players when it comes to gathering resources, and these players have no fear of death, so they can go wherever it is.

In reality, the adult who serves as a company employee - Naoyuki Okazaki is the contract player who has recovered the fastest state in the Happy Family, so he naturally became the spokesperson for the contract players in the Lucky Family, although it looks very decadent, but this uncle is much more reliable than everyone thinks, and it only took a day to integrate and persuade the contract players to join the Lucky House.

The contract players who were sent to the Lucky House station seemed to be different from those who were sent to the village, they had no arrogance at all, and even had a strong sense of inferiority when facing non-contract players.

So the more than 200 contract players who suddenly joined became a supernumerary group of Lucky House, and fortunately, when Lucky House established its station, it built a lot of more residential buildings that were completely meaningless.

Although they often complain about the crowded accommodation, guild players have become accustomed to living in a dormitory with only one bed and one box, and for non-contract players facing the shadow of death, living together can bring a strong sense of security.

After the contract players moved to the station, it was very deserted, and the Lucky House station, which was still a little popular near the Crucible Hall, suddenly became much more lively, and they quickly found their jobs on the floating island, except for working every day.

However, this time it was completely different from when they were on the island, they were forced to work and now they were working for their own freedom, such as harvesting timber, digging ore, smelting metal, growing crops, and managing pastures, all of which were all done by themselves, although a significant number of these players did not even have normal language skills.

Thanks to these enthusiastic newcomers, the original tight manpower of the Lucky House was suddenly relaxed, and the players who were originally trapped in the guild to maintain their jobs were liberated, in Makarov's words, from the primitive half-peasant and half-soldier militia system to the level of separation of peasants and soldiers, and the guild pulled out a hundred-man ironclad army, and the combat effectiveness was liberated to the limit.

However, although such an elite division is armed with such a good elite division that can definitely be ranked even among players, Ice Hunt and Izumi still look very dissatisfied, and it seems that even Yu has a lot of complaints about this number.

"Ahhh......h That's a lot. โ€

"That's right! That's right! That's not enough to fill a corner of the elementary school playground. โ€

"Hmm...... That's right, I also think that the current armed forces of the guild are still too thin. โ€

And in the face of these guys' unrealistic remarks, when Ma felt that he needed to go over and correct it.

What is your attitude towards saying this? According to the guild's speculation, the number of players who have not signed a contract is about 25 to 3,000, so our 100-strong ironclad army is already quite powerful, okay? โ€

"What~ It's only more than 3,000 people, when I used Changzong and my family, I could recruit more than 30,000 soldiers in one round."

This is a little bit of Izumi Nobobu Nobunaga, who seems to have thought of 'MineCraftOL' as a strategy game.

"What~ It's only more than 3,000 people, and in our place, it's only 3,000 people...... Even the school playground is not satisfied. โ€

This is Bing Hunt's speech, well~**** people from different countries have a gap in their perception of the number of people.

"So~ Even if it's 3,000 people, it's still too small, isn't it?"

What kind of virtue is a necromancer...... As everyone knows, waving your hand when you are with someone is a large group of little brothers who are covered in the 'smell of earth' rushing up, so it is not so surprising that the white-haired girl made such a statement.

"The worldview is stuck in the era of the village chief's fight, and the hillbilly kneels to the adults...... Yes? What am I doing mimicking Ice Hunt's tone? โ€

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the players below who were nervously being trained by Makarov, and sighed rather depressedly.

"In other words, it's just a matter of excluding some girls who have no combat effectiveness, why can't even I participate in training?"

"This ...... When hemp you know, your luck is really a little ......"

"Okay. Don't say anything. I know. โ€

When Ma instantly understood everyone's concerns on the road, and then accepted the same treatment as the Danyang very calmly.

Well? Why? You don't know what a Danyang is? It was a battleship, and it used to have a name called Yukikaze......

"However, I always feel that time flies so slowly...... I've only been trapped in the game for more than a month. But there's more to experience than the last few years combined. โ€

"It's just you, players like us who have gone through closed beta have been in the closed beta for a month longer than you, and now I think about it...... It's like yesterday. โ€

Ice Hunter stretched out his hand to look at his five fingers, and then took the cat off his head and held it in his arms.

"By the way, if I hadn't been instigated by my sister to play this game at the time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have experienced this, right?"

"Ice Hunting...... Your sister rarely listens to you. Is she in the game too? โ€

Izumi asked curiously, after all, there are really very few women who play this kind of high-end online game, and they don't even know much.

"Ha~ Actually, it's a sister I met on the Internet.,It's just that one day I complained to her that I've been bored lately.,And then she gave me the beta opportunity for this game.ใ€‚

"Oooh! The sister of the predecessor of the ice hunt is really generous! At that time, Zhendong mobilized a lot of friends, and even friends from the student union helped Zhendong to grab the opportunity to participate in the closed beta game! And she actually gave it away. โ€

Like the president, Shiina Mato, who has no combat ability, let out a cry of amazement after hearing Ice Hunt's words.

"Huh? Zhendong, you turned out to be a member of the student council, so your grades must be good, right? โ€

I still pay more attention to homework and study (non-superpowers) When Ma heard Zhendong's words, he asked in surprise.

Don't look at the last article as a hemp, if it was really depraved, he wouldn't have rushed his homework on the last day of the holiday.

"Well~ In school, it's just the level that can occasionally enter the top ten...... It's not as good as my sister. โ€

The blonde girl had a proud expression on her face when she mentioned her sister, and it seemed that her sister was a wonderful person.

"My sister can get the top five in every college exam, her motor nerves are very good, and her popularity is good!"

"Oooh! Mr. Madong! How did you get that kind of result with a guaranteed amount of time playing? โ€

At this time, Izumi, who didn't know why his face was a little dark, suddenly pounced in front of Zhendong and asked respectfully

"Simple, right? As long as you pay attention to the lecture during class, and look through your notes to review before the exam. โ€

"Completely informative...... The gap between people and people is so big? God~"

The blue-haired girl fell to her knees in infinite desolation and cursed her fate, while he was accompanied by a hedgehog-headed boy with the same worrying grades.

"Nope! Can't throw in the towel! How are you both doing academically? It shouldn't be good to play games often! Definitely, right? โ€

Suddenly, Izumi's blood became hot, and she asked in front of Ice Hunter and Yuu.

"Ah...... Well, I've been out of school for a long time. Ice Hunter replied embarrassedly.

"I never went to school (at least not in mortal school)." Yumi replied expressionlessly.

"These two guys are completely informative! Hey? Just right...... Yan Feng! How did you get on in school? โ€

At this time, when Ma saw Yan Fengqi, who had just finished the prayer ceremony for some contract players, he immediately stepped forward and asked.

"School grades? Me? St. Inachus Theological Seminary skipped two years and graduated as a principal student. It's working now. โ€

So, Yan Feng Qili replied expressionlessly.

"President...... Are we the only two of us who are really stupid? Hit again, when Ma burst into tears.

"Nope! When hemp! Can't give in like that! There must be someone dumber than us! Izumi encouraged him.

"Ah~ Mr. Uejo! You're here~ I'm here to bring lunch to everyone~~\(โ‰งโ–ฝโ‰ฆ)/~"

At this moment, a cheerful voice came, and everyone knew that it was Dong Dong.

In non-contract guilds players leave production and begin to accept Makarov's terrorist perks...... cough~ After the military training, the daily food of the lucky house is provided by the contract players.

And Dongdong's most important task every day now is to get the ingredients from the players in charge of the farm and ranch, and then go to the kitchen to cook them, fill up his material library and go to the training ground to deliver food, after all, it is a hundred people's food, and it needs to be supplied in time.

"Ahh It's a knock! Dongdong: How are you doing in school? Izumi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stepped forward and asked.

"School? What is the school? And what are the results? โ€

Xiao Maoyu, who encountered unfamiliar words, decisively couldn't understand it.

"Okay. This one doesn't know what the school is at all......"

The blue-haired girl who wanted to find confidence in Mao Yu decisively covered her face and said to herself in disappointment.

"Huh! Are you talking about real-life school life? What a hard-working child. โ€

Only then did everyone find out that Naoyuki Okazaki had come here with Dongdong.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Is there anything wrong with Uncle Okazaki? โ€

Izumi put away the playful expression just now and asked very seriously.

"Nothing...... It's just that some players want to ask me for something. โ€

"What's the matter? If it's everyone's opinion, I can't help but consider it...... Go ahead. โ€

"Some players who are busy with their work want to be able to watch around the training ground, even if it's just to listen to the sound nearby."

"Huh? Why? It's easy, right? And Uncle Makarov will certainly be very welcome. โ€

Izumi, who had thought that he would be asked for some kind of treatment, was a little surprised.

"Well, you probably don't feel that, do you? Those of us who can't pick up weapons feel especially safe when we think of people training to get everyone out of this terrible world. โ€

Naoyuki Okazaki replied embarrassedly.

"A lot of people don't know what to do after they're done, so they ask me to ask about it."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he suddenly saw that Izumi seemed to be in deep thought, so he continued.

"That...... If it affects training, forget it. โ€

"No, no, no, no! It doesn't matter, Uncle Makarov is very forgiving, he will be happy to treat this kind of onlookers as a kind of training, I can guarantee that if you ask in person, he will pat his chest and agree to you. โ€

After this party came back to his senses, he immediately dispelled Okazaki's concerns and replied with a smile.

"Just now, I was actually thinking about the possibility of using alchemy and redstone technology to make everyone who signed a contract also have the ability to defend themselves...... Because we non-contract players may have to be away for a while after training, your safety is a concern. โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ The result? โ€

"I've got some ideas. I'll refine this idea before I'm done. โ€

Suddenly, the girl showed a very curious expression, and she stared at Naoyuki Okazaki and asked.

"Uncle Okazaki looks very decadent on the outside, but no matter how you look at it, it's not an otaku, right? Why does Uncle play this game? โ€

"Ah...... This question is actually that I feel that I have nothing to do. โ€

Naoyuki Okazaki naturally sat aside and replied at the same time.

"I lost my wife in a traffic accident and raised my son on my own, and when I found out that he was an adult and had his own opinions, I suddenly felt that I didn't know what to do. I had to live a depraved and decadent life every day...... I've been trying to figure out what's going on in your mind, and then I found out about the game through the flyer, so I wondered if I could understand your inner world by learning about what you're interested in......"

As he spoke, Naoyuki Okazaki suddenly found that the surrounding teenagers and girls fell silent.

"It's just a middle-aged man's casual nagging, don't worry about it."

"Ahh Nothing...... I just thought of the one in my house. โ€

Izumi smiled and comforted the uncle who felt that he seemed to have said something wrong.

"Uncle Okazaki! You're a good father! Believe in yourself! Your son will understand you one day! โ€

Mr. Okazaki...... God blesses the good, so please don't be decadent. โ€

Surprisingly, Yan Feng Qili, who had been putting on a dead face, actually opened his mouth to comfort Uncle Okazaki.

Mr. Okazaki...... I have something I want to ask you. โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Please speak. โ€

After the request was granted, Yan Feng Qili asked Naoyuki Okazaki with a confused and uneasy face that had not been in line with his personal image at all.

"Do all fathers believe that their children are saints?"

Everyone present was dragged into silence again by this question, of course, the silence again was not just introspection but wondering why this religious person, who has always been more decisive than anyone else, had such doubts.

"I ...... I went through all the texts, the New Testament, the Old Testament, and the notes of our predecessors, but I still couldn't solve this puzzle. โ€

"Poof! Hahahaha! Dead face, you're so funny! How could such a thing be recorded in the theological texts? โ€

The guy Bing Hunt laughed very seriously on the spot, and then was rewarded with a head hammer by You, everyone knows that this white-haired girl usually has a metal forehead cover...... So the red-haired merchant was tragic on the spot.

"It hurts! Plate Armor Girl, you guy! I'm still a wounded! โ€

"That...... Xiao Zhendong thinks that this is just a simple hope for Jackie Chan. Every parent has this mindset. โ€

When Yu cleaned up the ice hunt in the laughing field, Shiina Madon answered very seriously.

"That's right, just like Zhendong said, Daddy always hopes that his children can achieve a lot."

Recalling his father who gave himself away to the academy city, when Ma replied proudly.

"My family is completely different...... However, he wanted me to be happy every day. โ€

That's the answer, she ...... He is also proud of his father.

"Hah...... Although it is a bit inappropriate for me, an unqualified father who has hurt his own children, to answer this question, I will also be cheeky to say a few words. โ€

Looking at Yan Feng Qili, whose face was full of confusion, Naoyuki Okazaki thought in a trance that he saw his son again, and he had also shown such an expression behind him like the young man in front of him, right?

It's a pity that I didn't notice his appearance at that time, and when I found out...... He was already far away from himself.

"Every father loves his children, believe in that. It doesn't matter if the child becomes a saint or not, and it doesn't matter how much achievement he has in the future, because the child itself is a kind of redemption and hope for the father, who always believes that his child is the best, the most excellent, and the kindest ......."

"Oooh! Could it be that this is the legendary child is his own good, and the wife is someone else's...... Yes! Why are you pumping me, really winter! President, why are you kicking me? Hey, hey, hey! Plate Armor Girl, why did you take out the scythe? โ€

Looking at the ice hunt who was beaten by the girls because he didn't control his mouth, when Ma suddenly had an illusion that his bad luck was not sucked away by this red hair.

At this time, Dongdong, who had finished distributing food from the training camp, came over and asked Izumi in confusion.

"This Sister Fang...... It seems that the food is a bit too much this time, and there is still something left after everyone in the training camp has divided it, what should I do? โ€

"How much is left?"

"Not much."

"Ah~ Why don't we have a picnic here with the leftover food"

"Oooh! Picnic ...... Ay? What will be a picnic? โ€

The small group began to be lively again, but Feng Qili fell into deep thought.

"Every father's insistence...... Is your own child the best? โ€

Yan Feng Qili fell into deep thought.
