"Phantom Township" is a game designed and produced by the Donghua Democratic Republic and the only designated "brainwave" related game promoted and published worldwide. After the introduction of Sea Lion City, a total of 136 servers have been set up, corresponding to 136 super buildings in the city, which have been running for 256 years, accompanying many generations through a life of poverty.

The reason why Geng Jiangyue was able to meet his mother in the same server was simply because Geng Jiangyue's identity number was still in the place where he used to live. Therefore, thanks to the slow work of the old men in the city hall, he can still communicate with his mother in the game for the time being. But in a few days, when his game account is forcibly migrated to the server in the building where he is currently located, then every year after that, he will really only be able to see his mother a few times.

This thought made Geng Jiangyue feel a little awkward when he came out of the novice village.

When we meet, we will definitely quarrel, and if we don't meet, I'm always worried that my mother will not have a good life alone.

Contradiction......

"Geng Jiangyue!"

Walking out of the novice village with his head bowed sadly, Geng Jiangyue suddenly heard someone shouting his name very incomprehensibly.

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, it was actually the second goods I met in the cafeteria last night.

When Geng Jiangyue saw Ji Xiaoke, his face was a little unpleasant.

Super-spirits are creatures that sometimes smell the negative emotions of humans. Geng Jiangyue couldn't say that his distress last night was directly related to Ji Xiaoke, but at least, Ji Xiaoke did make him feel a little unhappy.

The super spirit body that almost killed him, it was imitated by Ji Xiaoke last night!

"Hehe! I specially checked your account yesterday, and you are still in the server of Building 96! I didn't expect me to be on the server of Building 96, do you want me to take you?" The second cargo was enthusiastic, as if he had completely forgotten the critical blow that Geng Jiangyue gave him last night.

He was clearly planning to get back on the field.

The second goods in the game are much more popular in appearance than in reality. Compared to Geng Jiangyue, who was dressed in whiteboard armor, he was not only fully equipped with his body, but his shoes were even [bronze-level equipment].

Ji Xiaoke grinned, obviously proud of the fact that he was several positions ahead of Geng Jiangyue in the game.

Seeing that Geng Jiangyue didn't speak, he muttered to himself again: "You haven't been admitted to college, have you? If you had known this, you should have learned from me! I had just started school in junior high school and had my spiritual power measured, alas, but unfortunately it was only 9 o'clock, and if I had a little more, I would have been able to become an armed member of the building." But it's okay to come out to work early and earn money early. I now have 15 hours of work, which is higher than my girlfriend, hahaha. How long have you been here? I know the other side of the mine, and I have several apprentices who are mining there......"

The second goods have been chattering endlessly, and I can't wait to show all the achievements so far in this life in one go.

Although Geng Jiangyue was a little puzzled as himself, this guy lived in Building 31 but used the game server of Building 96, but it was not news that the people in the city hall were inefficient and chaotic, so he didn't bother to be further curious. He just glanced at the account number directly above the other party's head lightly, and confirmed the other party's name again: Ji Xiaoke.

Seeing these three words, Geng Jiangyue finally connected a vague face in his memory with the guy in front of him who looked like a multinational mixed-race and exuded a strong smell of low.

There's no way, who let Ji Xiaoke drop out of junior high school after only half a semester, I really can't blame my father-in-law for having a bad memory. And he is far from the only child in the class who has only studied for half a semester and left, so it is really not easy to remember which one is which......

According to the local law of Sea Lion City, the first half of the first semester of junior high school is free of charge, just like primary school.

As a city-state, Sea Lion City doesn't have a large population, so it's impossible to select talent only within the upper class forever. The first semester of junior high school is free, which is one of the ways that the management of Sea Lion City has come up with to prevent the complete loss of low-level talents.

Because as long as the child has talent and good academic performance, parents will definitely wish that the child can continue to study, and it is best to study directly to graduate with a doctorate, so that their family can have a good life in the future.

It's just a pity that in reality, most children can't meet the expectations of parents and society.

After the end of the first semester of the first year of junior high school, the children whose academic performance ranks below 50% of each junior high school will be forced to take a spiritual power test, and then with their respective "character" - the spiritual power value is as bad as the academic performance, they will honestly go to be game workers, or they will suddenly explode salted fish and turn over, and be measured to have extraordinary spiritual power value, and directly enter the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance Army and become a glorious alliance officer. However, the odds of the latter are not as high as buying a lottery ticket.

After the final test results come out, if there are still some parents who are not convinced and believe that their children still have potential, they can pay out of their own pockets to let their children continue to study. As long as you have money, as long as you can pass the exam, it doesn't matter if you want to go to high school, college, or graduate school.

The laws of Sea Lion City will absolutely protect the right to education for everyone who can afford to pay for school.

It's just that in reality, the vast majority of parents of children with low academic performance will eventually choose to let their children give up their studies.

After all, there is no hope, and money is wasted, and time is wasted.

Obviously losing money, very few people are willing to gamble.

Not to mention, many children with poor academic performance lack the willingness to continue learning.

In the face of the already cruel fate, he didn't even bother to struggle.

Geng Jiangyue looked at Ji Xiaoke, who was too lazy to struggle, with disdain in his heart and a little bit of psychological discomfort left over from last night's alley horror, he didn't want to pay attention to it at all, he ignored Ji Xiaoke's obviously ill-intentioned enthusiasm, and walked straight forward.

Ji Xiaoke still didn't give up, and chased after him: "Where are you going, I'll take you with me, I've been walking around the novice village for more than three years, and I know everyone." I know there's a safe place to pick herbs, and I'll die every half an hour at most......"

Geng Jiangyue saw that he couldn't get rid of this goods, so naturally he couldn't let him pretend to be forced in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "No, it's the same with you and you when you meet wild monsters, if I hang up, you will also have to die, and there is no need to exchange hot spring experiences." ”

"I'm going to die, I'm ......" Ji Xiaoke was poked in the center by Geng Jiangyue's words, and subconsciously wanted to refute.

However, he seems to have learned something over the years, and he can swallow this insult from the newcomer with the burden of humiliation, and then forcibly change the topic again: "Geng Jiangyue, don't be embarrassed! I debuted three years earlier than you, let me tell you, those things taught in school are not needed in the game, and someone still has to take you with you." Look at you, your body is so tattered, you can be touched by a wild monster and it will be gone. What a waste of time to go back and forth every day to go back to the novice village and then run out.

Let me tell you, I don't have to mine or dig medicine by myself now, I buy from others, do you know why? Because I learned a skill in the first year of playing this game, some people in high-end clothes came to play across servers, and I repaired the equipment for them. When it is more, you can earn dozens of dollars a day, alliance coins!"

Geng Jiangyue smiled, and he didn't bother to answer this conversation.

The skill that Ji Xiaoke learned was obviously the repair of a blacksmith, and in Geng Jiangyue's eyes, there was really nothing unusual.

Lao Geng's skill in the game back then was [forging], not to mention repairing equipment, and even being able to directly forge weapons with spiritual damage, selling two weapons part-time every week, and the extra income per week was stable at about 50 yuan.

If it weren't for that incident, I don't know how nourishing my life would be with my mother now.

So my mother said that my father's money had already been spent, but in fact, Geng Jiangyue knew that the money in my mother's hand was at least enough for him to study in college for three years. Now that college is hopeless, the money is probably left to him as his wife......

In the past two months, his mother has arranged several blind dates for him, and some intentions are simply not too obvious.

However, the father-in-law is indulgent and loves freedom, and he is resistant to the Cult of Light, otherwise where would it be his turn to show off his "girlfriend" in front of Ji Xiaoke?

"Ouch, it's amazing, you all have girlfriends?" Geng Jiangyue didn't answer the words of the blacksmith's skills at all, and directly stabbed Ji Xiaoke to internal injuries with another sentence, "You are so awesome, have you saved enough for your wife? When will you get married?"

Ji Xiaoke was really asked by Geng Jiangyue.

Geng Jiangyue saw his deflated expression, smiled, and then stopped.

In front of him, there are three forks in the road.

The one on the left leads to the wolf valley where the medicine is mined, and the one on the right leads to the poisonous spider hole that leads to the mining.

The middle one is the only place to go to the "Novice City", the Crow Forest.

In addition to mining and collecting medicines, Geng Jiangyue has recently discovered a way to get rich - collecting feathers from black crows.

The process is cheap, but the benefits are not bad.

The 5% cold-resistant cloth armor on his body was pulled out by pulling bird feathers......

"Where are you going? mining or collecting medicine?" Ji Xiaoke directly pretended to be stupid and skipped that question.

Geng Jiangyue didn't answer, and walked towards the middle in silence.

Ji Xiaoke was stunned again when he saw this, and after hesitating for a few seconds after looking at Geng Jiangyue's slowly moving back, he still didn't dare to follow, just stood in place and said to himself loudly: "I'd better go back to the spring and wait for you, see when you die and come back......!"
