Chapter Seventy-Eight: Hitchhiking
According to the direction of the map, Sun Tian trotted all the way, the Flying Empire is worthy of being the most commercial country in the mainland, the main road out of the city is ten meters wide, and the road is clean and neat.
There were many vehicles and pedestrians on the road, so he trotted along the side of the road, but fortunately, the physique in the game was very strong and he was not tired of running for a long time.
Because he sped up again, Sun Tian was a little tired after running for an hour.
From time to time, there were people on horseback and various mounts galloping away on the road, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the distance, and he could only walk his legs on the side of the road and eat dust all the way.
"When I have money, I must buy a means of transportation." Looking at the various mounts with envy, Sun Tian secretly made up his mind.
Although he can afford to buy a mount with an ordinary price now, the mount is too expensive, and in general, it is not cost-effective to buy now, so he can only be envious and jealous now.
But looking at the people on the road who are just as dusty as him, walking or trotting, these are people who can not afford to buy mounts.
In general, there is more than enough than the top, and people always have to compare with each other.
"Jingle bell, jingle bell" A bell rang from behind him.
Sun Tian looked back and saw a tall, sturdy black horse pulling a wooden carriage ten meters long, and a human in front of the carriage was driving the car with a whip.
There were a few big words written on the carriage, "Round trip between White Rock City and Tianma Grassland, one trip for a silver coin." ”
"Lean" turned out to be a game version of the bus.
The people who can do this kind of business must be people with financial resources and ability, which is really very convenient for people like them who can't afford to buy mounts.
Waiting for the carriage to come, Sun Tian chased after him and asked the driver: "Brother, I want to take the car to the Tianma Grassland." ”
"Go up from the back of the carriage, there's someone inside collecting money." The driver shouted.
When I went around to the back of the carriage, I saw that there was no door at all at the back of the carriage, and there were long seats on both sides of the carriage, and more than 20 people were sitting in it. Fortunately, the horses in the game have great strength and physical strength, and if the horses in reality were tired, they would have been tired and lay down.
"Is my brother going to take a car?" A human man sitting on the outermost side saw Sun Tian and asked with a smile.
"Take the car," Sun Tian nodded.
"Come on, I'll pull you." This man stretched out his hand to pull Sun Tian up.
"No, you don't." Sun Tian grabbed the carriage with one hand and jumped on it hard.
I got into the car and sat down directly across from the man.
He took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it over: "Here, this is the car money." ”
"Hello, I'm Lao Zhuang, is it the first time for my brother to do this line?" The man who was sitting opposite and called himself Lao Zhuang said to Sun Tian
"Yes"
"It takes about six or seven hours from White Rock City to the Pegasus Meadow, and there will be one or two stops in between, ten minutes each time, and you can get off the bus and rest at this time."
"When you get to a place where there are fewer people, the car will run faster, and then the car will be a little bumpy because of the road, so be mentally prepared."
"Okay." Sun Tian nodded and said.
"Hey, are you guys doing this business on your own?" Sun Tian asked.
It's still a long way to go, so let's talk and pass the time.
"Hey, we just work to earn hard money, it's our boss who does this business, and there are our carriages at several training points nearby, several times a day."
"Can you walk back and forth on this day?"
"Yes, when you go to the Tianma Grassland, you mainly pull people, and when you return, you mainly pull goods, just one round trip a day."
。。。。。。。。
Time passed in small talk, and after two stops and twenty minutes of rest, I finally arrived at the gathering place on the edge of the Pegasus grassland at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Somewhat similar to the gathering point in Heishi Village, this gathering point on the outskirts of the Tianma Grassland is nearly 10,000 square meters.
The whole gathering place is divided into several areas, there are accommodation areas, there are areas for eating, there are areas for trading, etc.
Such settlements are usually controlled by a few powerful mercenary groups, who are responsible for security and dispute resolution, while those who do business in the settlement pay a management fee.
The carriage in which Sun Tian was riding stopped in front of the shop they drove in the settlement.
I had the experience of the settlement of Heishi Village, and I was already used to this kind of settlement, so I found a small stall to eat something, and after resting for a while, I set off into the Tianma Grassland.
Although it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, there was not much time left before he went offline, but it had no impact on him who had a tent, and he could go offline whenever he wanted after having a tent.
The Tianma grassland is nearly 10 million square kilometers, and the entire grassland is basically a plain, with endless green as far as the eye can see.
The grassland is dense with aquatic grasses, and most of the pastures are more than a foot high, so there are many types and numbers of herbivores, and there are many natural carnivores.
The grass on the outer part of the grassland is the worst, and the further you go inside, the denser the grass becomes, and the better it tastes. The best places are naturally occupied by the strongest animals.
Therefore, the distribution of wild beasts in the entire grassland is getting stronger and stronger from the outside to the inside, and the core places can only be safely reached by professionals.
After walking a few hundred meters, I began to meet wild animals, such as deer, donkeys, sheep and many other unknown animals, these animals are the weakest in the grassland, so they can only live in the outskirts of the grassland.
You can also meet people killing monsters here, and most of these people are people who have just entered the game for a short time, killing monsters and leveling up here.
The more you go inside, the more monsters there are, the more players you need to kill monsters and level up, the players here are all small teams, and he hasn't seen anyone act alone like him.
Although it is a game, in order to allow players to kill monsters and level up, the game has to produce more monsters, but as a simulated real game, the monsters here are naturally not as everywhere as the online games that Sun Tian has played before.
There are many more animal monsters here than in the real world, but they are still scattered, at least a hundred meters apart, and groups wander in the meadows.
In order to facilitate leveling, players are naturally chasing animal groups to move, so these small teams of monster killing are very scattered, and there will be basically no monster snatching, conflicts, and the like.
Continuing to walk inside, there are tens of thousands of players you see along the way, and you don't see more, there are all races, and the professions are rich and diverse.
After the period when the number of people is most concentrated, the stronger the strength of the monster is and the fewer people who level up.
After about four or five kilometers of depth, there are basically no players here, and even if there are, they are elite teams.
The strength of the monster here is equivalent to the player's level four or five, and the one who can come here to kill the monster is naturally a strong and well-equipped team.
Walking here, Sun Tian stopped, this distance is enough, with his strength equivalent to level five, the efficiency of killing four or five level monsters is higher, and because it is a leapfrog level, the experience of killing monsters is also higher.
Mainly because the grasslands are very dangerous, the animals here are not attracted by hatred, as long as he appears in the field of view of predators, they think he is a weak and huntable thing, and will naturally chase and kill.
Only in this place where he lives can he dare to stay for a long time and kill monsters and level up.
