In the summer of 671 in the continental calendar, the Qianyuan Empire.

In the virtual strategy game Age of Empires, this year is known as the year of turmoil, and it is also the point in time when the game is launched and players enter. As for the Qianyuan Empire, it is the largest empire in the Eastern Continent, and it is the first choice for many players after creating characters. Chen Wu was also one of them, and set his spawn point in Taiping County, one of the twenty counties of the empire.

But he never imagined that one day he would travel to a world exactly like the game.

That was just over a month ago, when Empire had been running smoothly for thirteen years and was about to undergo its biggest expansion update since launch. Once the update is complete, the development of firearms will be allowed, and the world will gradually evolve from the Cold Weapon Age. But this time, the much-anticipated update,I don't know why something went wrong.,The number of guide zhì servers jù is all cleared.,Directly back to the beginning of the game.。

Chen Wu, who was in the game warehouse, also crossed over without knowing the reason at all.

It took three days for Chen Wu to figure out the magical experience that happened to him. He soon discovered that there were two pieces of news in front of him. One bad news, one good news.

The good news is that the time and nodes of the time traveled are the same as when the game was launched.

It was still the Taiping County of the Qianyuan Empire, and even the specific birth point was exactly the same - Changshan Town under the rule of Longshan Prefecture, a poor rural area in the southeast of the empire with a population of only a few thousand. This means that he can use a lot of information from the Novice Village after entering the game.

The bad news is, he's poor!

To be precise, the person who was possessed after crossing was very poor. In the game, it belongs to the kind of three no-NPCs that are unpopular, have no tasks to dig up, and have no zài value. Not to mention the four walls of the family, the grain stored in the grain tank is even less pitiful, even if it is mixed with bran and elm leaves, it is only enough to eat for half a month at most. In such an embarrassing situation, the information that players have is completely useless. The first thing in front of him was to survive the famine.

This made Chen Wu very frustrated for a while.

He found out that he had traveled to the wrong place or time!

The situation in Taiping County was not so bad.

Due to its location in the southern plain and irrigated by the Longze River, Taiping County has been one of the five major grain producing areas of the empire for more than 300 years after the founding of the empire. According to the background of the game, there was a locust plague that swept through the county three years ago. The failure of the grain harvest that year alone brought heavy pressure to Taiping County. Although the empire opened a position for relief, coupled with the fact that Taiping County has always been rich, it barely survived. But before millions of people in Taiping County could breathe a sigh of relief, this year was followed by a major drought and thousands of miles of red land, which suddenly pushed the situation to an unbelievably bad situation.

Changshan Town, Longshan Prefecture, where Chen Wu is located, is relatively good.

As one of the four prefectures of Taiping County, Longshan Prefecture has a dense water network and borders Daze County in the south, so the drought is somewhat lighter. Ganding Province, which is also one of the four prefectures and is located in the north of Long Son Mansion, has not fallen for three months, and the crops have not been harvested. Since most of their savings had been depleted in the locust plague the previous year, the people of Ganding Province began to flee en masse.

In the past three days, Chen Wu alone saw several groups of displaced people from Ganding Prefecture, and there were many people who were selling their sons and daughters.

He had been in the game for thirteen years, and he had seen a scene ten times more miserable than this. Due to the high level of virtuality in Empire, it looks no different from the real world. In the face of these poor people, Chen Wu was already able to be indifferent. Or, with his current status, he can't even do it alone, how can he help the world at the same time.

What he possessed after crossing was just an ordinary villager who was born in the former novice village [Changshan Town], and his ancestors had never been generous for eight generations. Not only that, but there are no relatives, and the only ones who can help are a few cousins of the family, and they are also poor villagers.

With such an identity and no longevity, what can he do in an empire with a strict aristocratic and family class?

Not to mention doing something big with the experience of a player and thirteen years of foresight, even survival is a big problem. After spending some time familiarizing himself with the situation in Changshan Town, and after making a simple attempt, Chen Wu reluctantly found that although the two worlds were exactly the same, some tips specially left by the development team in the game for players to make money did not work here. Then, without giving him more time, the grain in the jar bottomed out completely.

The advantage of being well versed in the future history of the empire did not help him in this poor rural area where the drought was becoming more and more severe. In order not to starve to death, he had to rely on a little connection, entered the quarry run by the only baron in Changshan Town, and earned a little food by selling his body.

The work in the Quarry is boring and hard, and it is considered one of the top 10 most unacceptable professions by former players. Not to mention being deducted at every turn, the whip of being in charge is even more commonplace. It was soaked in salt water, and a whip would inevitably leave deep blood marks on the back, a hot pain, and even if the wound healed, it would still leave an indelible mark.

But Chen Wu really has no other way but to survive by this way first.

In Empires, starving players can be resurrected. In this world, he doesn't have the care of the system god.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the person he possessed after crossing is an authentic villager. Years of hard work have given him a strong body, and he has learned a little martial arts from his father who died in the army, so he has left a foundation. Otherwise, Chen Wu really didn't have the confidence to be able to survive in the quarry.

Half a month, it was so difficult.

"When is this kind of day a head......

After struggling to carry the stones on his back down the mountain, and receiving a stick from the overseer with a dead face, Chen Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the time to walk back, he couldn't help but sigh. The straw sandals I was wearing were worn out and tattered, and it was time to find a way to change them. And the heavy labor after half a month made him have several blood blisters on his feet, a painful heart when he walks, and a few whiplashes on his back!

Even if his physical foundation is very good, he really can't hold it up now. Moreover, the soul from another world that once dominated the Eastern Continent made him unable to endure as many laborers in other quarries.

This kind of physical and mental torment is the most fatal.

Compared with the moment when he just crossed over and figured out the situation, his whole person was obviously a lot more depressed.

Damn crossing!

Damn drought!

If he hadn't crossed over, he would still be lying in the game warehouse by now, following the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Super Guild [Mythology] and more player armies to fight against the fanatical Crusade of the Sun Dynasty. Even if he took a step back, without this once-in-a-decade drought, with the wealth of Taiping County, he, an ordinary villager, would not have even had a little food in store and would not have been forced to work in the quarry.

"Alright, call it a day, call it a day! Take your lots, and go to the stewards to receive the money. ”

"Remember to go to work on time tomorrow, and if you come late, you will be deducted as usual!"

At this moment, as the sun approached set, the overseers of the quarry were signaled and shouted loudly.

It was as if all of a sudden, the quarry, which had been silent and looked like a slow-running machine, suddenly became alive. The insensitive laborers breathed a sigh of relief and came together in twos and threes to discuss the drought, the almost impossible harvest, and the displaced people from Ganding Province from the north...... Came to the steward of the quarry, and in his shy stomach and arrogant reprimand, he received today's salary.

Five Copper Coins......

It's equivalent to half a silver coin, and one twentieth of a gold coin, which is really pitiful.

For the baron, who was enshrined in Changshan Town and owned the only quarry and grain shop in the town, this amount of money was not even a dime. Before the crossing, Chen Wu had dealt with him as a player, and his deepest impression was that he was generous and loved to fill the scene, and he spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins every moonlight.

If only he could possess this baron when he crossed over......

He sighed again, put aside his unrealistic thoughts, and after a few minutes of queuing, he received five oil-stained copper coins from the quarry steward. He threw it in his hand and carefully put it in his arms.

Today's dinner seems to have been settled.
