Chapter 4 Felling
The Felling Group's camp was in a dense jungle farther southeast of Dawn, with trees and vines growing in the jungle, and a large area of the outermost area had become completely bare.
When you think of the buildings under construction in Dawning City, you basically know the purpose of these felled trees.
"According to the regulations, each person has to cut down 10 trees a day to complete the task, but you just came, and today you will be able to cut down 5 trees." As the team leader, Wang Cheng showed his generosity very much, as a good person who chatted with Tang Yi along the way.
"This is a tool, and the tool should be returned after work every day, so work hard!"
The so-called tool is actually just an axe, although it still looks relatively sharp, and Tang Yi doesn't know how to complain about this game.
Anyway, as a newcomer who had just come into contact with the game on the first day, Tang Yi honestly joined the cutting army first.
There are more than 100 people in the cutting team, all of whom are using this extremely inefficient axe, and Tang Yi is also very puzzled, if the game company wants to take the route of otherworldly farming, why not directly distribute more efficient props to players.
As Wang Cheng said, the operation of the cutting itself is very simple, Tang Yi only needs to manipulate the virtual character to hold the axe, aim at the tree part, and keep clicking the mouse, and the game character will automatically carry out the cutting operation.
But the felling itself is also very boring, this primeval jungle is almost all towering trees, each tree is surrounded by several people, Tang Yi silently calculated, just cutting down the first tree, he clicked the mouse for almost half an hour, and when his fingers were numb, the trees fell down with a bang.
Tang Yi, sitting in front of the computer, didn't know how to complain, in other games, shouldn't this kind of felling operation be a two-click mouse, and then there will be a hint of wood +100?
When Tang Yi wanted to continue cutting down the second tree, he found that the game character he was manipulating was unusually slow in both movement and pace, and he couldn't even lift his axe-wielding arm.
Tang Yi shook the mouse vigorously, but to no avail.
"Strange, is the mouse broken?" Tang Yi muttered.
The player in another cutting group not far away heard Tang Yi's question, put down the axe and kindly reminded: "Brother, your physical strength is almost exhausted, you have to rest first, do you see a green bar in the character column?" That's the state of physical strength, and you can't cut down trees when you don't have physical strength. ”
Tang Yi hurriedly opened the character bar, and sure enough, he saw the green bar he said, in fact, he had noticed it before, but this damn game didn't even have the slightest explanation, he didn't know what it was at all.
At this point, the green status bar has been squandered and turned into an empty red, indicating that the game character's stamina has been exhausted.
"Well, looks like I'm going to have to rest." Tang Yi humbly asked, "How long does it take to restore the physical strength bar?" ”
"That's not for sure, it seems that everyone needs different amounts of time, some people will be fine in a few minutes, and some people may take dozens of minutes to recover their stamina."
Tang Yi thanked him and could only start resting helplessly.
He finally understood why each person in the felling team only needed to cut down 10 trees per day, and with this low efficiency, it was estimated that eight trees per day would be the limit.
Tang Yi didn't understand a little, the game was certainly good to be realistic, but it was so real that it was too outrageous, there would be no gameplay at all, he was sure that if it weren't for the generous reward, the other players would have run out long ago.
This game is so dissuasive.
The stamina bar is slow to recover, and it doesn't look like he's the type to get back to full in a few minutes.
Tang Yi, who had nothing to do, was about to go to the toilet to drink some water, and the moment he got up from the computer, he suddenly felt some discomfort in his forearm, similar to the muscle soreness after intense exercise.
Tang Yi didn't doubt him, and gently rubbed his forearm to soothe his muscles, he just thought it was because he had been at home for too long, and his body was about to be ruined.
After a quarter of an hour, the soreness in the forearm gradually disappeared, and the in-game stamina bar happened to return to full state.
Sitting in front of the computer, Tang Yi manipulated the game characters and continued to start boring and monotonous felling.
This cycle went on and on, clicking the mouse for a whole afternoon, and this mechanical boredom, coupled with the sound of cicadas outside the window, was simply the most vivid lullaby.
Tang Yi almost fell asleep several times, but was woken up by the strange player who instructed him on how to recover his strength just now, and after coming and going, the two of them were also familiar with each other, the other party's name was Xu Daquan, and everyone basically called him by his name in this game.
Because the daily remuneration needs to be directly transferred to the bank card in my name, basically everyone uses their real name.
Xu Daquan also taught Tang Yi a good way, so that he would not patronize the mouse, he could open his mobile phone to play a movie, or listen to a song, in short, how to be lazy.
Obviously, it wasn't just Tang Yi who was almost hypnotized.
With such a boring game, no one ever thought of giving up, after all, if you think about it from another angle, it is difficult to find a second job with such an easy and high-paying job under a lantern.
Until sunset, the team leader Wang Cheng appeared near the camp again, took the form and began to check everyone's work progress one by one, and then put a check in the form, and then he handed over the form to the supervisor of the Ministry of Construction, and then the other party settled the daily salary according to the form.
Tang Yi only cut down four trees after a break in the afternoon, and Wang Cheng did not make it difficult for him as promised, and ticked the box in the form, and asked Tang Yi to give a bank card number by the way, because he was entering the game for the first time.
Although Tang Yi couldn't look down on the five hundred yuan, he still expressed his gratitude eagerly.
"Hurry up and go offline, it's been a busy day, I guess you're tired, I don't know what's going on with this game, it's boring like hypnosis, I feel no energy after every time I go offline, I just want to take a shower and sleep as soon as possible, remember to go online before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, if you want to punch in and record, you will be deducted if you are late." Before leaving, Wang Cheng, as the leader of the group, reminded him very responsibly.
Is this really a game?
Tang Yi was powerless to complain for a while, but he didn't want to go offline immediately, so he opened the character bar with his hand, and was slightly stunned, he found that his attributes had changed at some point, and his strength and endurance had changed from the original 8 to 8.1!
"Can cutting down trees still increase stats?" Tang Yi was a little strange, but Wang Cheng had already gone far at the moment.
Xu Daquan, who had just met, was about to go offline, and when he heard Tang Yi's muttering, he said with a smile: "That's right, in fact, we discovered early on that it's not only about upgrading to increase attribute points, any physical work you do in this game may increase attribute values." ”
Tang Yi was more interested in upgrading attributes, and muttered: "Although the efficiency is a little low, it can increase by 0.1 in an afternoon, 0.2 in a day, and 6 attributes in a month, which is okay." ”
Xu Daquan was a little surprised, shook his head and denied: "That's not it, it may improve faster at the beginning, but the more you go to the back, the slower it becomes, like I haven't improved my attributes for a month." ”
Xu Daquan loves to chat, and when he opened the chatterbox, he simply let the virtual character sit on the ground, which is said to make the character's physical strength recover faster.
"But you're very lucky, the newcomer who comes into contact for the first time can increase the attribute point by 0.1 in one afternoon, let's cut the group, it's the first time I've heard of it."
Tang Yi also asked the game characters to sit side by side, looking like two friends who had just finished their work chattering: "Then how about everyone's general improvement speed in the early stage?" ”
"When I first came into contact with the game, it took three days to cut down the tree to increase the attribute value by 0.1, and a few other friends I know, at least two days or so to improve, but it doesn't matter, at the beginning, everyone will be a little concerned about upgrading the attribute or something, and then I don't bother to care, isn't it to make money in this game!"
Tang Yi's heart moved, he probably realized the reason why his attributes could improve so quickly, and pretended to chat casually: "Didn't there be a talent test when I first entered the game, and it was quite funny to say, I actually let people put their palms on the computer screen to test." ”
Xu Daquan also laughed: "I guess it's a trick, I was almost bluffed, I was still thinking about it at the time, I'm not a touch screen machine." ”
"Haha, me too, I was almost deceived by the game company's little tricks. By the way, what level of talent did you detect? S-class or SS-class? ”
Xu Daquan shook his head and said strangely: "How can the game company be so generous, as far as I know, there are hundreds of people in the cutting group, just a B-level talent, oh you also know, it is our team leader Wang, I heard that talented players are a minority, and high-level talents are even rarer." As for S-rank and higher talents, I've heard a lot of fun......"
After a pause, Xu Daquan lost the second half of the book.
Tang Yi satisfied the other party: "Brother Xu, can you talk to me, I have just arrived, and I don't know as much about many things as you, so I can share any interesting things." ”
Xu Daquan continued: "Once I happened to pass by and heard Instructor Lin, oh yes, you know who Instructor Lin is, right? ”
Tang Yi hurriedly interrupted: "I know, I know, it's Instructor Lin who sent us a mission, you continue." ”
"Oh, at that time, Instructor Lin was chatting with another person, saying that it is impossible for the DNA bloodline of earthlings to produce S-level or higher talents, you say it's not funny, what is the bloodline of earthlings, do they think they are aliens? Do you think these company executives are playing games to the point of getting mad? ”
Tang Yi was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Maybe there are other races in this game setting, but the game has not been completely completed, and the other races have not yet been fully made." ”
"I guess it's possible, forget it, I don't want to, it's just a game anyway." Xu Daquan didn't have much interest in these, and just mentioned them as jokes.
He looked up, the sky was getting darker and darker, and he got up and said, "Let's hurry back to the city and go offline, sometimes there will be wild beasts outside the city after dark, and it is not very safe." ”
"Offline and going back to the city?"
"That's right, don't be surprised, there are more anti-human settings in this game!"
