Chapter 166: This group of NPCs are really wild (first update)
The game "Space Navigator" adheres to the consistent characteristics of Fangcheng Studio, which is an absurdly high degree of freedom.
Although trade is the first element, it does not restrict players from making money through trade in the early stage, so some other methods should also be possible.
Liuzi knocked on his glasses, and Delta said in a voice he could hear: "You are right, we do not limit how players can make money in the early stage. You can sell your paintings, help with work, or go to Help the bartender wash the cups, etc."
Looking at the cups on the bartender's counter, Liuzi felt that the other person's cup was like a small cubicle to him, and physical labor was not suitable for a small body like Squirrel.
From this point of view, selling paintings is a more suitable method for players to make money in the early stages.
So, with only one thousand beliefs, Liuzi started to purchase related items.
Because of the lack of artistic talent, the art industry here cannot be said to have nothing, it can only be said to be miserable. After searching through the local network through Delta, Liuzi found that there were no brushes he wanted, and in the end he could only purchase some charcoal pens and white paper.
These things are not expensive and can be done with 3.5 beliefs, but they are not very easy to use, so I guess you will need to spend some time getting familiar with them.
Logistics in the interstellar era was also very developed. As soon as Liuzi placed an order, what he wanted was quickly delivered to him by the force field surrounding the planet.
The force field is one of the most remarkable inventions of this era. It can affect the four basic forces through high-dimensional interference and is the most widely used technological product.
Carrying charcoal and white paper, he returned to the bar and found that the bar was in a mess.
"Hey, what's going on!" Liu Zi shouted in surprise.
The bar was overturned, the chairs were tilted here and there, and there were holes and various scorch marks on the floor. It looked like it had gone through a fierce battle.
A group of wild wolves were lying in a mess on the ground. Some animals were panting and bandaging each other. The bartender's elephant had a piece of its ear missing, and milky white blood rolled down from its wound on the floor.
Seeing Liuzi walking in, Elephant's eyes became extremely fierce. He picked up the mixing bottle next to him and prepared to come up and give Liuzi a meal at the door.
But after discovering that it was Liuzi, its eyes softened again.
Reluctantly reaching into his arms, he took out the napkin Liu Zi had used and handed it to Liu Zi.
The water on it hasn't dried yet, and you can still vaguely see Liuzi's previous painting strokes.
"You forgot this when you left, little one. These wild wolves heard that there were precious goods here, and after looking at your painting, they were ready to take it away, but we kept it. I don't know how you created this It's a painting, but it's very good."
Liuzi originally wanted to say that it was just something he drew at random, and it's not worth mentioning in terms of value. You guys don't need to be like this.
But looking at the elephant bartender's reluctant movements and the gazes of other animals, he felt that these NPC actions gave the napkin extra value.
He solemnly put away the napkin and said to the Elephant Bartender: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"To thank you all, can I draw a portrait for you? It'll be quick, just a few minutes."
The Elephant Bartender His expression became particularly vivid at this moment.
It widened its eyes, opened its mouth involuntarily, and finally covered its face with its big hands, asking in disbelief: "Is it really okay?" "
Yeah."
"We have one too?" A bat came over and was surprised. asked.
"All."
Under the expectant gaze of a group of small animals, Liuzi jumped onto the chair. The bartender on the side immediately brought the paper diligently, and then asked Liuzi to start painting.
The somatosensory gloves of the all-in-one VR machine have been upgraded, and the accuracy of use is now increased by 30%, which allows some originally relatively precise movements to be completed smoothly.
After drawing a few strokes with charcoal and getting familiar with the feel, Liuzi started.
The most important thing in portraiture is not the likeness, but the accuracy of form and spiritual resemblance.
Moreover, the camera can do just the likeness, but he wanted to add some of his own understanding and thinking.
In a few minutes, the portrait of the elephant appeared on the paper. With just a few strokes, the elephant was outlined in the forest. With just a few strokes, beautiful light and shadow effects appeared.
Carefully rolling up the painting with his trunk, Elephant Bar put the painting in front of his eyes and said excitedly: "Oh my god, this is me!"
"You can see it when you look in the mirror." A leopard picked it up. There was a broken wine bottle on the ground, and he drank the remaining wine inside and said disdainfully.
"You know nothing!"
"It's your uncle!"
Liuzi looked at the leopard, and within a few minutes he drew a picture of the leopard running on the grass.
Although the lines are relatively simple, the outlined movements of the leopard are full of a sense of power and speed, making the leopard speechless for a long time after seeing the painting.
Although I have never been to the place in the painting, I feel nostalgic for some reason.
And I feel a little shy without clothes, but I also feel like my nature has been liberated, which makes me feel good without clothes.
More than a dozen animals received paintings as a thank-you gift. Each animal marveled at the image of itself in the painting, and lamented that it didn't seem to be itself, but it must be itself.
Seeing the performance of the little animals, Liuzi felt that his first pot of gold should be fine.
After more than a dozen times of painting, he has found some touch. After that, the speed should become faster and faster, and the quality of the drawings should also become higher and higher.
He never thought that the guy who eats by himself can also become the guy who eats in the game. He can only say that games with a high degree of freedom are really exciting, and you can have fun no matter how you play.
After knowing that Liuzi wanted to stay for a while and make money by painting here, the Elephant bartender immediately said that Liuzi could live here temporarily with no room fee and three meals a day.
Others who received Liuzi's paintings also said that they can help promote it, ensuring that Liuzi is busy every day.
There are also animals that help Liuzi set the price, and said that if they are all of this quality, then 100 Faith is a more appropriate price.
One hundred beliefs is the average weekly salary here. Spending one week's salary to buy a painting sounds crazy, but combined with the fact that no one has painted here before, one hundred beliefs is a completely cheap sale.
In fact, residents here also feel that Liuzi was sold at a low price.
When Liuzi helped the Elephant bartender draw some food pictures and posted them at the door for advertising purposes, residents passing by immediately came over and asked what kind of technology it was and why it had such an effect.
And when they knew that this was actually a masterpiece drawn by a "legendary and great Lord Squirrel, blessed by the God of Art", the residents of the entire interstellar planetary port became excited.
Although the other party doesn't know why he doesn't draw clothes, it is art and definitely not Seese!
You must look at these astringent pictures with an artistic eye, and you must not think wrongly!
They began to line up, and the tavern that was originally doing a normal business seemed to be booming because of Liu Zi's temporary stay. Many citizens who got the paintings even felt that the tavern should be decorated.
After all, this is the first stop after the arrival of a saint, so it should be decorated more in line with its sacred status.
Sitting in his seat, Liu Zi can earn one hundred faith in five minutes, and then the price increases to one hundred and fifty, and finally two hundred. After staying here for two days, he worked in the game for six hours every day, in the morning and afternoon. After that, he successfully accumulated more than 70,000 beliefs.
This money was enough for him to buy a second-hand cargo ship, hire some crew members, and continue to happily trade.
After closing the stall with satisfaction, Liuzi expressed to him that he was ready to leave here and go to the next stop for trading. The local residents deeply regretted his decision, but decided to respect his choice.
That night, the Elephant bartender held a grand farewell party. Liuzi drank some wine during the process, and then returned to his spaceship to rest.
But the next day, when he was about to buy a second-hand ship, he was surprised to find that his spaceship was surrounded.
Hedgehogs wearing power armor surrounded his spaceship, and the planetary governor stood outside the ship with an embarrassed look on his face.
Seeing Liu Zi waking up, the hedgehog stepped forward and whispered to Liu Zi: "I'm sorry, but I can't disobey the priest's order. You are arrested." The confused
Liu Zi looked at the governor, He asked in confusion: "What have I committed?"
"Illegal theft of art."
Liuzi was shocked when he heard this charge.
I am a good young man who always plays by the rules when playing games and has never robbed a bank. He is very different from those funny guys who clamor to rob banks as soon as they enter the game.
I have worked hard since I came here and brought love and joy to the residents here. What do you mean when you say that I illegally steal art!
And every painting is drawn by myself. What's the matter with the theft in your crime!
Seeing the disbelief on Liuzi's face, the governor also said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, but I really have no choice. I am just a planetary governor, but the priest relies on the true god and controls multiple planets. I can't disobey him."
"Okay, if you have the guts, next time I will drive the Star of Destruction and drive you all over."
"I'm really sorry, when you come here, I will tell you where the priest's home is. As long as you put it there The car is gone, we don't care about anything."
Looking at the governor's current appearance, Liu Zi realized that he was also a pitiful little animal.
However, being arrested is also a part of the game, and it may involve some hidden plot, so Liuzi could only sigh and follow the governor to the prison.
But getting in the car, he found that he was not being taken to a prison, but to the center of the Starport.
There is a pure white tower. It towers into the clouds, and colored lights are laid from the bottom to the top of the clouds. This makes the White Tower always shine with a magical and blurred light.
From the outside, its diameter is very small, only ten meters, but its height can reach tens of thousands of meters, which makes it look like a thin line from a distance, leading to the outer layer of the world.
The wonderful structure shows that the quality of its materials is extremely high, otherwise it would not be able to bear such a strange structure.
Brought directly here, Liuzi was taken into the elevator in the tower by the governor. Then he followed the elevator all the way up and reached the top in more than ten seconds.
Looking from the top, there are already thick clouds below, and the curvature of the planet can already be seen here, which makes Liuzi confused as to why he appears here.
After delivering him, the governor was taken away and disappeared.
Before leaving, the governor whispered: "Protect yourself, don't mess around, I will try to save you." "
Thank you, but why did you help me so much?"
"I like your paintings very much."
"Oh. , understand." After
sending the governor away, the six sons had the opportunity to observe the structure here.
The room at the top has endless views outside and is full of various works of art inside.
In the round room, the walls are covered with various works of art from the past, but most of these paintings are a little charred and appear to be due to improper storage.
In the middle of the house is a white jade statue of a human woman.
The other person was wearing overalls and was holding a paintbrush, looking into the distance and meditating. Although he didn't know who the other person was, Liu Zi still felt an intellectual and artistic aura from the other person.
After staring at each other for a while, Liuzi felt a little itchy.
The woman's statue seemed to have a special magic power. Just looking at it for a while triggered some thoughts in him, making him have the urge to draw her.
Normally, he would feel nervous when seeing the opposite sex, and there was even a similar situation in the game.
But for some reason, this statue was like a source of inspiration for him, giving him the desire to paint.
Just when he was looking for paper and pen in the room, an old voice rang: "In the drawer on the left."
"Oh, thank you."
Pulling out the paper and pen, Liuzi looked at the statue for a long time. Then I picked up paper and pen and started drawing seriously.
Although it was just an ordinary charcoal pencil, Liuzi felt that his right hand was extremely flexible this time. In a short time, he could describe the opponent's appearance in detail and print it on the paper.
After a painting was completed, before he could appreciate his masterpiece, the painting in his hand was snatched away.
Three hedgehog guards in power armor pushed him away, while his painting was held in the hands of a spineless rat. The other person was not another mouse, but the one he saw disguised as a thornless hedgehog when he first came here.
The other party was already quite old, but the old mouse still looked at Liuzi's paintings carefully and admired them quietly.
It didn't say yes or no, it just stared at the painting silently. After a while, it nodded slightly and said, "Very good."
"Nonsense." Liuzi said disdainfully.
The unruly attitude made the three guards angry, but the old mouse waved them to be quiet, and then said to Liuzi: "This is the goddess of art and the god we worship." "
Oh." Liuzi said indifferently, "That's none of my business. What's the matter?"
"Although He is the goddess of art, and He frequently blesses us, we have never been able to fulfill His wish and present Him with perfect works of art. I am ashamed to say that I have received so many blessings. But in the end, it's only at this level."
Seeing what the old mouse took out, Liu Zi took a breath and lamented that if the other person had been in kindergarten, he wouldn't be at this level.
However, the three guards seemed not to know how bad this thing was, and they still said with admiration: "As expected of the priest."
"Don't be like this, I know my own level. Young squirrel, I only have one request, and that is... ..."
Liuzi thought that the other party wanted to stay as a priest, but things were a bit unexpected.
"Then keep your brain and use it as a tool for me to draw!"
After hearing the other party's request, Liuzi felt that the NPCs in this game were really wild.
