Kong Xiuying also entered the dream game on her own from Monday to Friday afternoon this week, and she did not consider entering on Saturday and Sunday due to the many things to do during the New Year. Whenever she enters the dream game, she still goes to the Spiritual Mechanics Hall to practice the Spirit Thorn first.

This week, when Kong Xiuying practiced the Spirit Thorn, she set her opponent to a high-level martial arts state, and this week, the shortest preparation time for her to send out the first Spirit Thorn was 10 seconds, her second Spirit Thorn could be launched within 30 seconds after the first Spirit Thorn was issued, and the third Spirit Thorn could be sent out within 40 seconds after the second Spirit Thorn was issued.

After practicing the spirit thorn in the dream game every day, she still went to plow the land with three oxen, and completed the task of plowing five fields a day for the first three days, and six fields a day for the second two days. When plowing here, the amount of work that is not completed by the time of the start of work is not counted, and even if she is one percent short of completing a piece of land, the amount of work on this field is zero for her.

When using 3 oxen to plow the ground, Kong Xiuying is still unable to keep herself walking in the field and using her arms to hold down the plowshare to plow the ground. That's why she hasn't chosen to plough the land with four oxen at once, and she's worried that she won't be able to keep up with the speed at which four oxen plow.

She practiced the Spirit Thorn this week and spent 10 copper coins; Ploughing income is 2.7 silver.

As of this weekend (that is, January 31), Kong Xiuying's personal game currency has accumulated: 8 silver coins and 1 bronze coin.

Kong Xiuying heard Xu Ran say that the other party was about to leave the novice village, if possible, she also wanted to leave the novice village with Xu Ran, so that she could have the opportunity for the two of them to form a team together in the primary battlefield of spiritual power, and at the worst they could work together in a team, but she knew that she could not enter the primary battlefield of spiritual power now, and her game currency reserves were far from reaching the cost required in the space of the spiritual force field.

The annual fee for the dream game is 20 gold coins for a year, and she can ignore this, and Yun Zhongyue is responsible for it; But the transmission fee in the mental force field scene requires 10 gold coins, which she must prepare; Yun Zhongyue's practice in the mental force field training room cost a total of 13 gold coins and 1 silver coin, and she used this as a reference to set a training room cost reserve of 15 gold coins for herself, so as not to be abandoned halfway because the game currency reserve was not enough.

After counting these items, she had to reserve at least 25 gold coins when she left the Novice Village; Earlier, in order to be safe, she was thinking about saving 30 gold coins, but now she is thinking about streamlining it a little, so that she can also free up time to enter the primary battlefield of spiritual power as soon as possible.

But even if it is so streamlined, in the face of such a huge deficit in terms of game currency, even if she no longer thinks about exercising her mental power and strength, and focuses on sewing armor with the help of auxiliary tools, with her current efficiency of sewing 5 pieces of armor a day (income of 2.5 silver coins), counting her existing savings, it will take nearly 100 days, and she will definitely not be able to keep up with Xu Ran's footsteps into the primary battlefield of spiritual power.

Not to mention that she wouldn't ask Xu Ran to wait for her to leave the novice village together, even if Xu Ran was willing to wait for her, she wouldn't agree, after all, it was irrational behavior for both of her; Although dream games can improve their abilities, dream games are also unpredictable, and they should try to improve themselves in the limited dream game time to deal with unexpected situations that may arise at any time.

Speaking of which, since they entered the dream game, there has been a selective question of whether it is appropriate to earn more game coins or to prioritize improving their abilities; For the learning of some skills, in-game currency is required; And the improvement of the level of ability requires them to focus on it. Now, no one knows what kind of abilities Dream Walkers will eventually build into Dream Walkers, and with the limited time of Dream Games, they can only imagine and arrange their own focus and development direction. Kong Xiuying also wants to be a well-rounded person in terms of personal ability.

Therefore, Kong Xiuying is now very rational to arrange her activities in the game according to her own development goals, and she doesn't expect to have to advance and retreat together with Xu Ran in the dream game; The most important thing is to lay a good foundation for your abilities in all aspects, as long as you have the ability, you can also help Xu Ran in reality.

On the side of the sheep herding base, Kong Xiuying usually advances and retreats with Chen Xiangxiang, and she insists on going there to herd sheep for the rest of the week, except for the first day of the Lunar New Year (January 31), she insists on going there to herd sheep for the rest of the days.

Yun Zhongyue still chooses to enter the pyramid directly to carry out her game activities after logging in to the game every time she logs in this week, and her personal information this week has changed again: Mental Force Field: 6; Mental power: 40 (was 39); Stamina: 16; Field energy: 60.

After her mental power level was raised by another level, her spiritual force field space in the pyramid could only cover the 30-meter space around the pyramid, and her fighting style and response to the enemy this week were still similar to the previous week; It's just that the spatial range of her spiritual force field can be maintained for a longer time; I won't go into detail about the battle of Yun Zhongyue here.

This month, Kong Xiuying's animation studio has maintained three episodes of cartoons written by Xu Ran every week, and all 20 episodes of the cartoon "Spring and Autumn" have been put into the VIP space of the website, and by the end of this month, the cartoon "Warring States" has also launched 8 episodes; Kong Xiuying plans to launch 80 episodes of the "Warring States" series. According to Xu Ran's writing script, the click-through rate of these cartoons is still as high as before.

Li Xin's "Wanyang City Chronicles", 4 episodes of cartoons were released this month, and by the end of this month, all the previous cartoons of the Eastern Han Dynasty part of "Wanyang City Chronicles" have been launched and placed in the VIP space. The VIP subscription of each episode of the cartoon is basically 300,000 people.

The female employee Kong Xiuying recruited later can now independently complete the production of the cartoon "Wanyang City Chronicles", and Kong Xiuying still agrees with her work ability.

Li Xin still found time to write in his spare time this month, but the progress of writing was slow due to his busy business, and by the end of this month, the writing of his "Wanyang City Chronicles" had completed the Jin Dynasty part.

In this part of the Jin Dynasty, Li Xin introduced a historical celebrity related to Wanyang City---- Wang Xiang, who is famous for "Twenty-four Filial Piety", and an idiom related to it is "lying on the ice and seeking carp".

The origin of this idiom is: in the winter, Wang Xiang's stepmother wants to eat fresh fish, nowhere to buy, Wang Xiang braved the cold wind, took off his clothes, and lay on the frozen river, the ice on the river surface was warmed by Wang Xiang's enthusiasm, jumped out of two carp, Wang Xiang happily took the fish home to honor his stepmother.

Li Xin did not question Wang Xiang's filial piety here, but only questioned the literal understanding of the word "lying ice", it is possible that the ancients used the word "lying ice" to mean that Wang Xiang slept on the ice with a cover, the purpose was to stay up all night here, so as to facilitate fishing in winter, but it was literally far-fetched by later generations to lie on the ice.

Li Xin gives an example here to argue his point.

He used the words "shooting" and "short" to make a comparison, the word "shooting" is taken apart to see that it is composed of "body" and "inch", according to the composition law of Chinese characters, "inch" + "body" should indicate short stature, then the word "shot" should also mean short stature.

The word "short" is taken apart and seen to see, it is composed of "arrow" and "committee", "committee" has the meaning of pulling away, "arrow" is the meaning of arrows, "committee" + "arrow" should be the meaning of archery, then the word "short" should be the original meaning of archery.

Li Xin thinks that the "shooting" and "short" should have been reversed by an ancient master, and then they were mistaken.
