In a cheap rental house on the outskirts of a fourth-tier city, Luo Tianjie looked at the picture of the end of the 38th victory of the imperial era on the computer screen, and leaned back tastelessly on the eight-hand computer chair found in the thrift market.

It's not that Luo Tianjie is bored to repeatedly brush the old game of Age of Empires, but that the house he rents has no broadband network at all, and the computer is backward N generations......

"Alas, people always have to live, let's go to the intermediary tomorrow to have a look, otherwise you will go hungry.

When I crossed over, I was a black account, and it was too hard to find a good job......"

The south wall hit a lot, and Luo Tianjie didn't know how many times he laughed at himself.

After a simple wash, Luo Tianjie collapsed on the bed with his head covered, and it didn't take long for snoring to come from the cheap rental house.

In the unknown space, the gray mist suddenly dispersed, and Luo Tianjie, who was looking up and forked, opened his eyes in a daze.

When he saw his surroundings clearly, a carp stood upright.

"This ...... Where is this? ”

Luo Tianjie looked at the two-storey quaint building in front of him with a wooden main body.

"Master, your faithful villager is on standby, please give a new order."

I don't know when, Luo Tianjie was surrounded by five young men with dark faces and wearing ancient linen and straw sandals.

"Who are you?

Where is this?

Why am I here?! ”

Luo Tianjie instinctively took a few steps back, and the young man who led the exit with his fingers spoke.

The five young men stared at Luo Tianjie expressionlessly, and after hearing Luo Tianjie's question, the young man who spoke up before stepped forward and said, "Master, we are your loyal villagers, this is the master's territory, we don't know how the master appeared here." ”

The flat and straightforward tone was a slightly dull reply, and there were no fluctuations in the tone between the words, Luo Tianjie felt as if he was facing a robot.

When Luo Tianjie heard the other party's answer, a trace of realization suddenly rose in his heart.

Then he silently recited the words 'Age of Empires' in his mind.

Sure enough, a game-like panel appeared on Luo Tianjie's retina.

"This ...... Is this really the Age of Empires?

It doesn't seem like the one in the game, but it's too mysterious! ”

Luo Tianjie stretched out his right hand forward and 'touched' the personal panel that seemed to be hanging in the air, and unsurprisingly touched a lonely ......

"Huh?

Although this panel appeared in front of my eyes, it did not manifest in front of me, only I could see it? ”

Stretching out his hand and waving it twice, Luo Tianjie finally realized that this panel was not hanging in front of him!

As soon as his mind moved, Luo Tianjie put away the personal panel in his field of vision, and he had a strong feeling that as long as he wanted, he could use his mind to click on some options on the personal panel to operate.

Luo Tianjie was silent for a moment, and his gaze returned to the five young and strong villagers who were dull.

The other party is a yellow Asian face with black hair and black eyes like himself, which is in line with the title of Oriental villager.

While Luo Tianjie was staring at them intently, a slightly abbreviated panel popped up in front of the retina again.

[Eastern Villager: 1 prestige point can summon 10 Eastern villagers.]

This means that they are quite cheap and, of course, they are very vulnerable.

When in danger, they will only use the tools they have to make a weak resistance, and the main duty of the villagers is to produce, gather resources, and construct buildings, not for combat.

You can recruit Eastern villagers from the center of the town, and the longer they live, the more wealth they create.

Their greatest strength is that they are hardworking and loyal, and they were born to work for you. Whether it's cutting down the seventy-third tree, crossing the map to a faraway place to collect silver mines, or toiling in the mill, he'll always have a smile on his face and happy to do whatever you ask.

His hobbies include escaping from enemies, being blown into rivers by enemy cannons, and weaving. 】

Luo Tianjie called out the personal panel again, focusing on the prestige value of 0 points, and looked at it again and again, and reluctantly retracted the personal panel.

"It turns out that I am so poor that I can't even summon a single villager......

It's not a 'game' enough.

When I played Age of Empires, weren't villagers recruited just by having food resources?

Wait a minute!

Grain!!! ”

Luo Tianjie raised his eyes and looked around, and sure enough, there were no berries or other food resources around, and as far as the eye could see, there were tall forests except stones......

"Well, at least there will be no shortage of stone and timber resources......"

Luo Tianjie comforted himself, and then thought of a serious question, without food, what do these villagers eat?

Thinking of this, Luo Tianjie naturally looked at the center of the tall two-story building not far away.

Not surprisingly, Luo Tianjie once again popped up that kind of brief prompt box in front of his eyes, but this time the explanation was very simple, only explaining that the town center was the core of the territory, which could live in people and store a certain amount of resources.

There aren't any of the grain, wood, stone, money, etc. that are common in Age of Empires games!

Luo Tianjie finally understood that the only useful currency in this realistic version of the Age of Empires was prestige.

"What do you eat on weekdays?"

Luo Tianjie, who walked up and down in the center of the town and didn't find any food, walked out with black lines on his head and asked the five Dongfang villagers who were like bugs.

This time, it was still the eastern villager who was the leader stepped out, the other party didn't say anything, he squatted down directly, slammed out a handful of emerald green from the grass, and then stuffed it into his mouth, the blades of grass at the root of his teeth were clearly visible, and his mouth was full of soil that exuded the fragrance of grass and trees......

Well, this oriental villager pulled out the grass roots and stuffed it into his mouth!

Luo Tianjie finally witnessed with his own eyes what it means to eat soil in his lifetime!

The other party also eats with relish!

Luo Tianjie held his forehead with his hand, this picture was too convincing, no wonder the Dongfang villagers on the opposite side did not open their mouths to explain......

"You eat nothing but dirt...... Eat grass, what else to eat? ”

With a bang, the Oriental villager who swallowed the grass roots and soil bibimbap in his mouth wiped his lips full of dirt at will, and the dull voice came out again: "As long as we can bite, we will eat anything." ”

Burst~~~

For some reason, Luo Tianjie was the first to think of Yonedako, a delicacy full of color, flavor and a sense of history.

Luo Tianjie thought about it, and felt that he didn't need to save face in front of a group of subordinates who didn't seem to have much intelligence, and asked straight to the point: "Can you even use your own excrement as food?" ”

The Dongfang villagers shook their heads in unison, making Luo Tianjie breathe a sigh of relief.

The next moment, he felt that his three views had been fatally impacted again.

"Master, we don't have excrement."

Hiss~~~

It turns out that the villagers under his command are terrifying species that can only enter and exit!

No wonder you can eat anything!

Well, at least I don't have to worry about food and grass, which should be considered good news......

"Go there and gather timber and build a barracks."

Luo Tianjie pointed to the nearest forest and commanded weakly.

"Yes, master, lumberjack, builder!"

This time, the five Dongfang villagers opened their mouths in unison, and then lined up and walked into the center of the town behind Luo Tianjie.

Luo Tianjie had already seen the upper and lower floors, the first floor was an empty warehouse, there was nothing in it, and the second floor had a few simple wooden furniture, which seemed to be a living room and office room prepared for him.

Well, the 2-in-1 version of ......

"I just played a few games of Age of Empires and fell asleep, and I came to such a real alien space, did I travel through or a real dream space?

You...... Stop! ”

Luo Tianjie, who was thinking about the esoteric question of 'how he came here', suddenly pointed to the Dongfang villager who was the first to walk out of the center of the town and shouted.
