21. Life has been stormy

[Quest Mission: Prelude to the plot, restore the production of the Axe Gang. 】
This is a headless task, but Cheng Peng has no choice.
So now he is carrying a hoe and working the gentle slope behind the cottage of the Axe Gang, intending to open a field to grow some grain - rice is impossible, but there is something like rye, sorghum, and maybe play.
In the woods on the other side, Xu Tu was clearing the ground in the woods, intending to tidy up a vegetable patch.
Inside the cottage, Wang Chen was converting a room into a corral, and Xu Xiaoyuan and Yi Qing had already set off to catch animals that could be raised, although Cheng Peng was deeply skeptical about what livestock could be found on the barren mountains on the edge of the desert. Adventure 21
Jane was looking at the huge list of tasks given by the system about reviving the Axe Gang, choosing which tasks were possible to complete - tasks such as leading the army to capture nearby states and counties naturally didn't need to be thought about, and the task of building a wine base in the cottage - fortunately, Mr. Furukawa, an experienced businessman in the society, was on the side to help check the gates, so it should not be such an oolong.
It is said that Xu Tu is also very suitable for this job, but he would rather be a vegetable farmer than discuss problems with Gu Chuan, and the dislike between them made Cheng Peng speechless.
Two people in their forties, what grievances do they have to get to this point?
But he wisely didn't ask.
After all, he and Xu Tu are just friends, and some secrets between friends are a matter of course, and having to get to the root of the problem will only make everyone unhappy.
Maybe Dongliu, who is related to Furukawa, can go and ask a little questions, or ask the elders in the family to inquire, but when Cheng Peng talked to Dongliu about this matter, he hurriedly left on the grounds of "I have to do the task", indicating his attitude.
Maybe he knows something about it, too......
Cheng Peng guessed so, but in the end he still didn't get to the bottom of it.
The mission of Dongliu Xingchen, Xiao Moran and Liu Zixiao is to go to a nearby city to collect information about the garrison in this area, and to avoid the unfavorable plot of "officers and soldiers encircling and suppressing the Axe Gang" - if it happens, they will act as spies and defeat the officers and soldiers.
As for Ye Ying and Wei Antu, who were drawn as travelers, they also went to nearby cities, but their mission was not military, but they tried to lure the merchant travelers to pass by under Wuyue Mountain in order to rob.
The Axe Gang is also a bandit, and the bandits' job is to rob, not to work hard to produce. Even if Cheng Peng really reclaimed the farmland, Xu Tu really tidied up the vegetable garden, and Wang Chen and the others really put up the corral, this can only be regarded as completing the production task, which will not help to enhance the prestige of the Axe Gang.
Jane's system requirements are clear: resume production, rob passers-by, grow your reputation, and make the Axe Gang powerful.
But the distressing thing is that the current prestige of the Axe Gang is only -5.
"How high is the prestige goal?" The last time we discussed survival strategy, Xu Xiaoyuan asked this question.
"Mighty and powerful...... Megatron ...... "Jane rummaged through the helper's manual for a while, and finally found the specific values of each level of prestige, "It takes a thousand prestige points." ”
"How much prestige can you gain by robbing a caravan?" Cheng Peng asked.
"Ten o'clock."
Cheng Peng sighed, left the main hall named "Juyi Hall", and continued to reclaim farmland.
And Nighthawk and Wei Antu, who had to manage to attract a large number of caravans, already had a bitter "color" on their faces, as if they had swallowed the bitter gall of Coptis chinensis. Adventure 21
The days passed like this, and the cottage also developed day by day, and gradually had some meaning of prosperity.
On the day of the 19th, a big event happened in the cottage.
Some homeless people have come to join the Axe Gang and become bandits!
Although they are only two thin and short low-intelligence NPCs, although they seem to be able to kill two of them with two fists even Xu Tu, who has the weakest combat power among the players, but in any case, this at least means that the reputation of the Axe Gang has been beaten!
"Strange...... We obviously haven't gone out to rob it......" Jane looked at the prestige on the helper's panel, which had been promoted to 12, with a blank expression.
As a result, the mystery of this puzzle was not solved until the officers and soldiers and brigades rushed back to participate in the "Axe Gang's First Expansion Celebration Conference".
There are many fierce beasts in the area of Mt. Gotake, among which is a very ferocious wild boar, which often descends the mountain to destroy farmers' fields.
On the night of the 18th, Xu Xiaoyuan, Yi Qing and Wang Chen joined forces to dig a big pit on the road where the wild boar passed, trap it in, and then knocked it unconscious and carried it up the mountain and threw it into the corral.
In the eyes of players, this is just a normal hunt, but for NPCs, this proves that the heroes of the Axe Gang are both wise and brave, eliminating harm for the people, and improving their reputation among the people.
“…… We're bandits, right? After learning the truth, Cheng Peng couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do for the people...... Is it really for us? ”
No one can answer this question.
On the 22nd of the first lunar month, Cheng Peng finally finished his work, cultivated a field on the rocky hillside, and planted rye.
"Can there be a harvest?" Jane ran over to visit the farmland with great interest and asked curiously, "Do you need to use chemical fertilizer?" Will someone come and steal the vegetables? Thieves often come out of the vegetable patch, and Xiaoyuan's sister's tamed wolf dog 'Charlotte' has bitten off the heads of three thieves! ”
“…… What exactly are you interested in? Is it a wheat field? Or a thief? Or is it ...... Bite your head? ”
"It's all fun!"
Cheng Peng was speechless.
Jane watched him draw water from the deep well in the center of the cottage, and then picked up the wheat field to water it one by one, and after going back and forth several times, she couldn't help asking, "Isn't this very hard, and don't you feel bored?" ”
Cheng Peng shook his head.
Boredom or something, it's nothing to him; Hard work is even less of a problem.
"But...... When the dungeon is over, all these efforts will be in vain......" Jane looked at the field that had been reclaimed from the barren mountains and rubble, and looked back at the buildings that had been repaired by everyone little by little, turning from ruins to cottages, and couldn't help but sigh, "I always feel that it's a pity!" ”
"Have you seen the ancient dragon?"
"Ancient Dragon? What is that? Adventure 21
"In China, we have a home, and his famous protagonist Chu Liuxiang once said such a sentence 'come, live, love'. A teacher whom I respect very much once said to us after taking us for more than half a month but failing to find valuable cultural relics, 'I have come, I have worked hard, and I have done my best, so there is nothing to regret'. I think that makes a lot of sense. ”
"But...... So much stuff...... So much hard work......"
"If you are reluctant, work together with everyone to complete the task better, so that the hard work of all of us is worth it." Cheng Peng couldn't help but "touch" and "touch" Jane's soft blonde hair, and said with a smile, "Don't think about it so much, it's just a game, just enjoy the process of the game." ”
Then he continued to carry water, continued to water, and irrigated the entire wheat field evenly.
"By the way, there's one thing I've always been curious about." Seeing that Jane was still a little reluctant, he simply found another topic, "You magical girls need to rely on the seed of sorrow, right?" It's hard to move around in a world where there are no seeds of sorrow, right? Why do you want to leave the environment that suits you and come here? ”
"To distract yourself." Jian was immediately led away by him, and replied briskly, "Sister Xiaoyuan has been in a bad mood recently, and we are here to relax." ”
"But...... What should we do about the problem of spiritual nuclear contamination? ”
"We got some useful items in the previous mission, not to mention that this world is a magical world, so it's not a big problem." Jane didn't answer in detail, but said in a vague voice, "Actually, what we are most afraid of is the kind of world where there is no magic factor, in which magic is consumed very quickly; It's much better in a world like Journey to the West, as long as you don't overconsume it. ”
"So what exactly is the so-called 'scattered'?"
"Alas! Speaking of which, the judges are not good! Speaking of this, Jane's face suddenly puffed up, "Sister Xiaoyuan, she is good at everything, but she has some strange habits - she likes to dress up as a game horn, which is commonly known as cosplay, and often participates in various such activities and competitions. ”
Cheng Peng nodded, so did Levi, and this guy also collected a lot of cosplay costumes.
"A while ago, she participated in a cosplay conference held in Hangzhou, and at that time she played a character in "Madoka Magica", called Ba Asami ......"
With Jane's narration, Cheng Peng gradually learned what happened.
As a beautiful girl with a very good appearance and figure, and also has a lot of acting talents, Xu Xiaoyuan is a cosplay lover who has won excellent results in this kind of competition more than once.
This time, she plays Asami, who has been in close contact with her for a long time in "Big Adventure", and her transformation usually happens to be in the same form, so it can be said that the degree of restoration has reached an astonishing level, except for the hair, it can almost be called a real reproduction.
It is said that with her level and performance, even if she can't win the championship, at least she can get the top few.
But the result was that she didn't even get the top ten!
Cheng Peng recalled seeing the picture of Ba Mamei in the forum, and compared Xu Xiaoyuan's image in his mind, and couldn't help but be amazed.
"What kind of monsters are the top few......
"Those people are not as good as Sister Xiaoyuan at all! She was eliminated for a very ridiculous reason! Jane said indignantly, "Those perverted judges actually say that 'a senior sister with a head is not a good senior sister', 'a senior sister is a headless senior sister'......"
Cheng Peng was surprised.
As long as it's a human being, no one can play a headless horn 'color'......
"Sister Xiaoyuan was hit hard - don't look at her as steady, but in fact she can't withstand the blow - and since then she has often said 'the head is just a decoration' and 'it's not my fault that I have a head...... and so on, and tried to cut off his own head with a machete......"
Cheng Peng was already stunned.
He now believes a little that players who can be born in the "depressed" world of "Madoka Magica" really have a tendency to blacken and collapse.
"Of course we couldn't watch her go on like this — she'd really cut off her head — so we talked about taking her out for a walk." Jane said, "I just got the opportunity to come to this world to open up wasteland, so here we are." ”
Cheng Peng nodded Muran, not even knowing when Jane left.
Everyone...... It's not easy......

Obviously, the senior sister encountered a black whistle.
Black whistle or something, the most wooden love!
Finally, ask for a red ticket~
