Chapter 10: Return to the City
After Ye Jiu and Xiuli finished breakfast, they set off and walked back.
In order to hide his strength, Ye Jiu tried his best to bypass the monsters along the way, and when he couldn't avoid them, he stopped and let the giant claw shadow demon leopard deal with it. Anyway, the undead golem can't be brought into the city, so let's take it as the last contribution.
The two walked for two days, and Ye Jiu was a feast on the way, the beautiful cooking skills were really nothing to say, and the food was the same every day, so that Ye Jiu didn't want to go back to the city.
On the third day, I started to meet players slowly. Ye Jiu and Xiuli wisely did not reach out to those players.
In Realistic mode, all the items in the player's waist pack explode after they die. So, for some players with bad intentions, the realistic player is a mobile treasure trove. Killing and licking packs is a good occurrence in the early stages of the game, which is one of the reasons why there are so few realistic players.
After two more days of walking, the two finally found a small town. Ye Jiu quietly dissipated the soul of the Giant Claw Shadow Demon Leopard outside the town, and when Xiuli asked why the black "big dog" had disappeared, Ye Jiu only said that he had released it.
Get on the carriage from the town post station and start heading to Tianfu City, the capital of Xizhou.
Tianfu City is the largest city in Xizhou, with more than 3 million players in the city alone. Outside the city, there were more than 6 million people. If it weren't for the fact that the city was too crowded, maybe more. There's no way around it.,There's no reinforced concrete building in the game.,It's all flat tile houses.,Where in the city is there so much land to build houses.。 The outside of the city was also newly built after a large number of players poured into the city.
Ye Jiu and Xiuli took a carriage to the post station outside the west entrance of Tianfu City.
"What a change." Ye Jiu sighed.
Originally, the post station was a mile outside Tianfu City, and there were only a few shops here in 32 years, but now it has been full of traffic, people come and go, and the prosperity is no less than that of the city center.
"Where is your home?" Ye Jiu asked Xiuli.
"It's just outside Xicheng on Tianjiu Street, I'll take you there."
The two stopped a carriage. The coachman is an uncle player in his forties and fifties.
"Master, let's go to the Qin Dynasty Restaurant on Tianjiu Street, how much does it cost?" Xiuli said to the coachman.
"Two people? Thirty-two silver coins. Uncle said.
In the eternal world, there are three types of common currencies such as copper, silver, and gold, which are equivalent to gross bills, yuan, and 100 yuan. Decimal system, 1 gold = 100 silver = 10000 copper. The higher currency is the Warcraft Crystal Nucleus. The colorless low-sided crystal nuclei produced by ordinary Warcraft are worthless, such as the colorless crystal nuclei with six sides and seven sides, which are only worth a few silver coins. The higher the star, the higher the level of the crystal nucleus, the more valuable it is, and the value law of the Warcraft crystal nucleus is one more star, the value increases by ten times, and the value of one more order is also ten times more. Now the market defines the six-edged silver-edged crystal nucleus, which is the six-star elite-level Warcraft crystal nucleus worth 1 gold coin. For example, the flame system eight-star silver-edged demonic beast crystal nucleus that Ye Jiu planned to give to the beautiful one was worth about 100 gold coins.
The uncle's price was fair, and Xiuli didn't bargain with him, and took Ye Jiu into the car.
Horse-drawn carriages are constantly passing through the city, there is an endless stream of players outside the cars, and the streets are lined with shops, which is really bustling. 99% of the outer city is made up of players and player industries, and NPCs are generally located in the inner city.
"How is it, it's very different from your previous Tianfu City." Xiuli saw that Ye Jiu looked like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, so she said.
"Well, before the natural disaster, there were very few people outside the city, just a few streets, and most of the people who entered the game were young people, and now there are players of other ages on the streets, except for young children." Along the way, Ye Jiu saw a white-haired grandfather-level elemental mage, a grandmother-level nurse, an eleven or twelve-year-old young spear knight, and a girl summoner on the street, which was really a bit subversive. Children under the age of six are not visible in the game, because six years before the cataclysm, countries around the world issued strict orders prohibiting further births. Because children who are too young develop their brains too quickly, surviving in a dormant chamber can cause irreversible damage to their IQ, and families with children under the age of six are not allowed to enter the shelter. In the face of the survival of all mankind, all moral laws must be compromised.
"Eight billion players, we have 2 billion in Huaxia, can it be more. Our Tianfu City is fine, you don't have Zhongzhou Imperial City, it is simply crowded, and it is about to catch up with the scenic spots and Spring Festival stations in the previous reality. Xiuli said exaggeratedly.
Ye Jiu knew that Xiuli was exaggerating, no matter how crowded the game was, there would be no horror of the Chinese Spring Festival. However, it is a fact that there are many people in the game.
While the two were talking, the carriage arrived at Tianjiu Street and stopped in front of a four-story restaurant.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Ye Jiu took out a gold coin and paid for it. Let Xiuli believe that Ye Jiu is not a beggar.
"This is our restaurant." Xiuli introduced to Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu observed that the business of the restaurant was good, and although it was not meal time, there were still many players who came to eat.
In the game, whether the player uses the realistic mode or the virtual mode, there will be a sense of satiety. Values range from 0 to 150. Satiety is between 60 and 120, which is a normal state, and below 60, it will enter a state of hunger, and in a hungry state, physical strength will drop rapidly, and the player's own attribute value will also decrease. When the satiety level exceeds 120, the player will enter a gluttony state, and the three speeds, i.e., movement speed, attack speed, and cast speed will decrease. When the player eats, they can replenish their satiety. There is a wide variety of food in the game, fruits, breads, dishes, etc. Generally speaking, ordinary food can only increase satiety, and dishes made by life occupations can often temporarily increase some of the player's attributes, and the taste is much better than ordinary food, plus the player can only work in two life occupations, so the business of restaurants in the game is often good.
In virtual mode, you can work as a "chef" and make dishes according to recipes. The degree of palatability is related to the player's life class level, as well as the proficiency of the dishes. Realistic mode is not subject to system constraints, good craftsmanship in reality, and the same in the game, at the same time, a certain dish made in immersive mode has passed the certification of the system chef, and you can also get a gain that increases attributes when you make such dishes according to the process of making such dishes at the time of certification.
"Miss, you're back." At this time, the player in charge of the reception of the restaurant found Xiuli and immediately went up to greet her.
"Well, Sister Ming, are my parents in the store?" Xiuli asked.
The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, they just ventured back." ”
Xiuli hurriedly asked, "My parents aren't angry with me, are they?" ”
"It should ...... Not really. The waiter said uncertainly.
"Why aren't you angry, you are going to make us worry about death, do you know!" At this moment, a serious voice came from inside the store, and a man in his forties wearing a brocade robe and a middle-aged woman with a graceful and luxurious appearance walked out, although the man's tone was stern, but his eyes were full of love.
"Mom~ I'm going to die." Xiuli suddenly threw herself into the woman's arms and sprinkled coquettishly.
"I miss your mother, I don't miss me." The man said with a feigned displeasure.
"Yes, yes." Xiuli hurriedly said.
"Ah Xiu, where did you go crazy this time?" The woman rubbed her beautiful head and asked with concern.
"I walked along the Tianfu River and walked into the Desperate Forest." Xiuli replied honestly.
"What? You've run into the Desperate Forest! Do you know that the lowest monsters in there are all five-star, where are you going to die as a high-level elemental mage! Xiuli's father said in shock. The Desperate Forest is unfathomable and dangerous, and even the outermost area is forbidden to a high-level elemental mage, and it is a miracle that Xiuli can come back alive.
"Don't worry, I met Ah Jiu on the way, and he brought me back. Let me introduce you to ...... Hey? What about Ah Jiu? Xiuli was about to introduce Ye Jiu to her parents, but when she turned around, she found that Ye Jiu was gone.
"Ah Jiu? Uncle! Sister Ming, did you see the man in the black robe who came back with me? Xiuli didn't find Ye Jiu after a round of inspection, and hurriedly asked Sister Li who was receiving her.
"You say the man who looks like a beggar? I had already left in a carriage just now. Sister Li said.
"He's not a beggar!" Xiuli argued. Then he said angrily: "This guy! Why did you leave without a sound, really. Let's hope he's not lying. ”
"Xiuli, is the person who sent you back gone?"
"Well, his name is Ah Jiu, he is an uncle, a very peculiar person." Xiuli said.
A person who has lived in seclusion in such a dangerous place as a desperate forest for thirty-two years after a natural disaster is really too strange for Xiuli.
