While Happy Stick and Master Broken Knife are haggling, in another tent in the forward camp, three craftsmen with tailoring skills who have escaped from Cadman City are being "tested".

But instead of Professor Malcolm, who is currently in charge of the camp's production plans, Archon Miriam's lieutenant would be standing nearby, his assistant holding a notebook and recording what was happening in front of him.

The new player with the "Master Tailor" perk, Lady Water, sits on a chair and carefully examines the three pieces of leather that have been preliminarily tanned.

She looked very closely, and every now and then she had tailoring tools at hand to test the strength of the leather, while the three tailors in front of her were as apprehensive as students taking an exam.

It didn't take long to test the finished product, and after a few minutes, Mrs. Shui raised her head and smiled and brushed her hair, she said:

"You've done a good job, it seems that you have mastered the new process I taught, and we can move on to the next link."

Hearing this comment, the three tailors in front of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They were no longer young, and they had been tailors in Cadman City for many years, and they were supposed to be proud of being craftsmen, but at this time they could not handle their own shelves in front of the Water Lady.

This is a true master tailor, and on the first day they arrive at the Crimson Keep, they use their majestic expertise to dismiss their proud creations as worthless.

Not only that, but Lady Water also showed them how to make more advanced clothes from the same material.

The competition between craftsmen is always simple and crude, because craftsmanship and work do not lie.

The gray suit-style work gown worn by Professor Malcolm next to him was made by the Water Lady, and its craftsmanship and design style were praised by the well-informed professor who had lived in Port Chardo for many years.

Since the craft is not as good as others, it is not embarrassing to learn from others.

Especially in Translasia, a region with strong folk customs, if you are not as good as people, you have to recognize it, and you must stand up when you are beaten, otherwise you will soon be beaten by reality.

"Today we're going to learn about the improvement and production of half-body inner armor."

Mrs. Shui picked up the leather at hand and took out the pattern she had drawn before, greeted the three professional tailors, and then explained to them in detail how to make this "improved" type.

It's not her original leather-making technique, it's just that her expertise as a designer and tailor makes it easy for her to find this classical way of making leather armor in another world, and with a little processing, you can take it to the game and teach it to NPCs.

The Water Lady is teaching the "Molek" leather making technique from the modern Middle East, which has an ancient origin but has been improved by countless craftsmen and has become a masterpiece in this field, and the finished product is several levels higher than the craftsmanship spread in the Translancian region, both in terms of beauty and practicality.

This world has only advanced from the pre-era era to 1111 now, and it is not at all comparable to the thousands of years of historical accumulation in the world of small players.

In fact, not only the leather makers and tailors, but also the master of the broken knife and the hundred forging horses were able to mix with the blacksmith leader in the camp, and also brought many apprentices, which also stemmed from the accumulation of craftsmanship brought about by this history.

The wide variety of forging techniques and the use of special methods to remove impurities from the forging process alone are enough to be called "secret techniques", and have convinced the blacksmiths in the camp, this continent is not without crafts that can rival these "otherworldly techniques", but they are often in the hands of special people.

For example, the dwarves' forging skills are the best in the continent, and the quality and craftsmanship of their finished products are not inferior to the otherworldly techniques.

For example, the elven cobblers also have a very powerful secret art of making leather, but the problem is that these groups with special skills will not pass on their skills so easily.

Just as the leading pigeon complained when he was learning alchemy, this medieval world is still at the level of "technological blockade" and "self-cherishing of the broom", and there is no channel for various academics to communicate with each other at all.

The "NPCs" in the eyes of players rarely meet masters who have skills and are willing to teach them, such as the three tailors in front of them, who are extremely serious when listening to Mrs. Shui's explanation, and also use a small book to write down various points.

This explanation and teaching did not last long, Mrs. Water's "course" was divided into six classes by her, on the one hand, she is a combat professional player, and there are friends waiting to hang out together.

On the other hand, Mrs. Shui, who is a master in the industry, knows very well that speaking too much at one time is not conducive to learning, and after she finished speaking, she answered a few doubts about her "students" and announced the end of today's teaching.

As she got up and moved her exaggerated body, Professor Malcolm stepped forward and said to Mrs. Water in a gentle tone:

"Thank you for your help to the camp craftsmen, Master Water, this is your teaching stipend."

His assistant gave him a small money bag.

Mrs. Shui did not refuse, and took it in her hand with a smile.

While the other players were still working hard to make money, the Water Lady had already begun to collect wool from the NPCs, and before Archon Miriam invited her to give a class to the tailors, she had already agreed to give 50 gold coins for each class, and this was promoted in the form of a manufacturing mission, and the Water Lady naturally regarded it as a reward she deserved.

But that's not all, Professor Malcolm added:

"I've had discussions with Archon Miriam, and we thought it was an attempt to make special ceremonial robes for the administrators of the realm to distinguish them from the commoners. Perhaps in the future, depending on the work in the territory, more ceremonial uniforms will be made.

The Archon wants you to take the lead in the design and production of the new uniform.

Of course, we'll give you what you deserve. ”

"Ding"

The arithmetic orb on Mrs. Water's wrist rang, representing another new task refresh in the manufacturing industry:

【Manufacturing Mission·' 'New City, New Atmosphere' has been triggered!

Objective: Both the Consul and her lieutenant of the Crimson Keep hope to use your outstanding expertise to design the Administrator's overalls for the scarlet Keep.

You can complete the quest alone, or guide your current three apprentices through it.

Base Quest Reward: 300 gold.

Advanced Mission Rewards: Additional rewards will be given depending on whether or not your finished product is approved by Lord Count Cadman.

Mission time limit: 72 hours. 】

"Didn't others complain on the forums that the gold in this game was hard to earn? Why did I get almost 500 gold after only three days in the game? Isn't that the way other people play the game is wrong? ”

Mrs. Shui took the task and complained a little in her heart.

She chatted with the knowledgeable Professor Malcolm, and after gathering all the elements needed for the design, the water lady left the tent humming a song and carrying her staff of thorns.

The elementary apprentices of the NPC tailors who were busy around stopped their work one after another to pay tribute to His Excellency the master tailor with the body of a monster.

Lady Water waved her hand to signal that the industrious children did not need to be so polite, and stepped forward to correct the incorrect technique of the apprentices in tanning leather.

After all this, she left the place humming a song, and her four companions were already waiting for her not far away.

"Now, all my salary today will be handed over to the team accountant."

Mrs. Water grinned and threw the money bag to Sister Pomegranate, who took it with a blank face, Mrs. Water's game career in the past few days has completely subverted Sister Pomegranate's perception of "Real Otherworld".

If other players are playing in normal mode, then the lady in front of her is definitely taking the VIP channel.

As soon as I entered the game, I was personally summoned by the territorial archon, and then I was given the professional task of teaching apprentices, and I could receive a salary in turn without spending a penny, and the most buggy thing was that Mrs. Water was not an administrative profession, and was specially appointed by the Scarlet Archon to serve as bodyguards for "personal protection".

The reasons given are also simple.

Lady Water, a rare master tailor, is a "great treasure" of the Crimson Keep, and neither she nor Master Murphy can afford such a master craftsman to encounter danger in his adventures.

This treatment.

You just say who doesn't blush when you see it, right?

Obviously, everyone plays the game together, why has your starting point surpassed the end point where we veteran players have struggled to the present!

"It's not fair!"

Xiao Weiming, who was sitting on the side of the carriage, chewed a fruit-flavored lollipop and complained fiercely:

"It's okay if you're raised by a rich husband as a noblewoman in reality, how come there are NPCs in the game who take the initiative to support you? You big-breasted goblin. ”

"Maybe it's because I know how to make clothes and I'm a good person?"

Mrs. Shui laughed, bent down and poked Xiao Weiming's face, and crossed her waist and asked:

"So, dear dear, where are we going on our adventure today? I'm going to have to go offline early today, and in addition to cooking dinner for my husband and baby, I'm also going to take some time to gather the costume designs that fit the background of the game.

I just took on a task to design ceremonial uniforms for the officials of the territory, and the basic reward alone is 300 gold coins.

I don't know what the Advancement rewards are, but I'm unusually motivated. ”

She looked back at the busy people in the camp behind her, and said:

"I'm starting to like this virtual world, the people here are very simple and studious, they have respect for skill and the pursuit of knowledge, and most importantly they are made very realistic.

I always felt like I was in a real world.

In a land waiting for recovery, I will pass on my knowledge to more people who need it.

Wow, that's a really great feeling.

It's like going back to when I was still working. If I hadn't met my husband, I'm afraid I would have become a professor in the design department by now, right? Oh, although I haven't worked for many years, I still have a heart for teaching and educating people.

But speaking of which, I'm really not an expert in leather making, and helping them improve their leather armor production is already the limit.

If you want to achieve a real breakthrough at the process level, you have to find professional people.

I seem to have a few more contacts for my peers."

"What? Are you going to pull people into the pit too? ”

Lumina, who was wiping her beloved musical instrument in the carriage, grinned, and said:

"Who was skeptical of this game before? He also said that we dragged you into the fire pit, and you yourself enjoyed being a master in the game. ”

"That's it."

Lady Water didn't care about the teasing of her companions.

She climbed into the carriage and sat beside Xiao Weiming, and as the carriage started, she sighed and said:

"Although I am very satisfied with my life, I have a husband who loves me and a pair of lovely little treasures, but the knowledge I learned in the first half of my life is obviously not useful in the housewife industry, I don't care that the knowledge is sealed in my mind, but now I have an opportunity to teach it to those who need it.

Even if it's just a bunch of NPCs

Even if it's just a playtest, it's a good way to relive the old days, and they have a lot of things here that interest me as well.

For example, the unique aesthetic of the vampires, and the exoticism formed by the unique culture of the Nordov kingdom, these are different from the designs on the earth, and I can't believe how the development team has created such a variety of aesthetic characteristics.

They don't seem to borrow and reorganize, but rather design a complete set of social, humanistic and customs from scratch.

Frankly, I don't think it's possible to do that with pure technology."

At this point, she paused.

The orchid driving in front grinned and said to Mrs. Water in a private chat:

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Mrs. Water glanced at the orchid, and she also replied in private chat:

"Character modeling can be realistic, gameplay can be constantly updated, and even language systems can be made in special ways, but the details of folk culture and social humanities cannot be completely based on virtuality.

No matter how skilled they are, they can't do that.

It's the equivalent of creating a world from scratch that no one else can do.

Because we humans can't imagine colors that we've never seen before, and nature can't shape a different world out of thin air.

So orchids, you say there is no one possibility.

I mean, we're really in a completely real otherworld right now? ”

"Clever!"

Orchid shrugged her shoulders and said in a private chat:

"But I can close my eyes and get back to reality, and there's the player interface and the quest system, and even the gamified upgrade system."

"You're ignoring a very important point, your thinking has gone into a misunderstanding, and what you're seeing must be true? You should know that the current quest system is based on the Orb of Calculations.

I specifically asked Lumina about none of that when their first testers first entered the game.

I guess you've been deceived."

A glimmer of wisdom flashed in the big eyes under the gentle smile of the water lady, and she stroked the arithmetic orb on her wrist, and replied to the orchid in a private chat:

"I suspect it's a conspiracy, someone has made up a virtual otherworld for us! Of course, it is also possible that people's technical level is really high, so high that it can be confused with the real. ”

"Yes, we lack all kinds of evidence now, and it can only be speculation."

Orchid sighed and said:

"Has Sister Cement ever approached you offline? She warned me yesterday to stay away from this thing. ”

"I've found it."

Lady Water snorted and said:

"But I'm too lazy to pay attention to her, I know every day to show off my wisdom, I'm bored to death, if my daughter grows like her in the future, I'll really collapse, and I also heard that she found someone in the group to help her find out the truth, and that guy is hiding in the forum now.

But to be honest, it's a really good game for fun, so you're not going to AFK, are you? ”

"I'm gone, what about the three of them?"

Orchid replied helplessly:

"Especially Xiao Weiming, you know her situation, it is impossible for her to leave here. So, I suggest that we just pretend that we haven't found anything, and bury our suspicions in our hearts until more evidence emerges, okay? ”

"Yes."

Mrs. Water brushed her hair and said to the orchid:

"But you've got to help me find something."

"What?"

"Dictionary!

It's the dictionary that children in this world use when they learn words, and I'm going to take some time to learn the words here, and I guess if we can understand the history of this world without relying on the orb of arithmetic, and if we can communicate with the natives of this world, we will definitely find more evidence that we need. ”

——

"Gee, it's really risky to get smart people into the game."

In the Vulture Corridor, Murphy, who had just finished fencing with the "Evil Master", spied a complete conversation between Lady Water and Orchid Flower from the core orb, which made him realize that these two clever ladies had begun to doubt the authenticity of "Real Otherworld".

He could kick them offline right now and block their access permanently.

But Murphy didn't do that.

"I can't hide it."

He stretched out his hand to grasp the necessary evil suspended beside him, played a sword flower in the darkness of the cloister, and whispered to himself:

"One day, all the truth will be revealed, and I have never doubted the wisdom of my compatriots in this regard, let alone this kind of human elite woman, but it is one thing to discover the truth, and another to understand the facts.

Concealment is only a means, and cooperation can achieve a win-win situation.

I'm also looking forward to the reaction of these super sapients when they learn the truth, will they flee the real world in panic?

Or will you be excited to embark on a real, one-of-a-kind adventure?

Well, I'm looking forward to it.

Lend me your strength and wisdom before you discover the truth and make a decision! I need you, this land needs you, and the world needs you. ”
