Chapter 246 Is this right? (Update 1)
While Liuzi and Xiemen were working under the prison, other players were trying different gameplay in different areas.
Some people are born to do big things, but there are also many players who like to play in a relaxed and casual way, farming, teaching, and experiencing the customs and customs in different games. It is also good to be an audience in the game world.
Chance encounter is one of them.
After studying the strategy, she finished selecting people, then quickly joined a certain sect in Yifat and began to play the role of a little nun.
The nuns' uniforms here feel good and fit snugly. The black nuns' robes have gold trim on the outside. The highly attractive characters look very cute when dressed up.
I spent a long time admiring it in front of the floor-length mirror. When I met by chance, I even pinched the corner of my skirt and passed it in a circle in front of the mirror. I felt that the effect was very good.
But soon, she realized that she was still live broadcasting, and quickly said to the screen: "I'm sorry, I forgot that I am still live broadcasting. I will officially start the game right away." [
It doesn't matter, we like it, we will give us ten yuan to perform. . 】
As an anchor, the number of fans of Chance Chance is not as exaggerated as that of Lao Wang’s game, but her fans are very sticky. Basically, these old fans will appear immediately after Chance Chance is online.
Most of them came from "Spreading Traditional Culture Starts with Me", but they soon discovered that this girl is kind-hearted and although she is disabled, she is still optimistic and cheerful, so they naturally became fans of her.
Although her live broadcast channel is not busy, watching the girl slowly playing games is a rare solace for cloud players who have no time to play games.
Smiling slightly, Ping Shui Fan was about to answer the call when he suddenly heard a woman's voice outside the door: "Ping Shui Fan, are you up?"
"I'll come, grandma."
Ping Shui Fan walked out the door, fully dressed. At the door, a thin woman bowed slightly, then looked at the unexpected dress and said with satisfaction: "No matter when, your dress is so perfect, you are worthy of being blessed by the gods."
The object of worship of the residents of this world is the goddess of mercy, but she has been asleep recently, so she doesn't respond to other people's prayers much.
But before falling asleep, the goddess said that the god of education would come to help manage this place.
Because of this relationship, the clergy who know the player's origin regard the player as an apostle of the God of Education, coming with the blessing of the God of Education.
After learning about this background setting, players all said that Fangcheng Studio is very particular about setting such small details.
The temple that I joined by chance is located in the north of Efat. There are many sects in this city. Although they all worship the goddess of mercy, they value different doctrines, so they eventually split into multiple sects.
The grandma in charge of this convent is an old nun who is over fifty years old. Although time has carved wrinkles on her face, her former beauty can still be seen.
Her decent movements and elegant posture showed that she was once a member of the upper class, but she didn't know why she joined this small monastery. It was a breath of fresh air in this materialistic Yifat.
A day in the monastery begins with prayer. NPC nuns need to pray devoutly. After praying, they need to farm, milk cows, brew beer, copy and paint scriptures, prepare food, etc.
Those who are proficient in arithmetic need to sell the products and record them in their accounts. The money will be used to buy clothes or hire people to come over to treat livestock and occasionally people.
Prayer can bring about some miracles, but the power of prayer is to empower the goddess of mercy to fight against the enemies of the world, so miracles cannot be abused.
The pace of life here is very slow, so slow that it has been five days since I came here, but by chance, I just unlocked the education system yesterday and can see the information about NPCs.
But she likes the slow pace and can fulfill one of her dreams here, which is to become a teacher.
If there hadn't been that car accident, she might have been able to step onto the podium and start teaching.
Thanks to "New World" for giving her a new opportunity to realize her dream in the game.
The player does not need to be engaged in production, but if they meet by chance, they will still fetch water with the grandma and prepare breakfast for the children. After the children arrive, they can start today's study.
The children here are all residents of nearby slums. Some of their parents are miners here, and some are servants of nearby nobles.
These people are the cornerstone of Efat and need to work fourteen hours a day in exchange for a salary that is enough to live on for a day.
The youngest of the children is only five years old, and the oldest is almost twelve years old. After the age of twelve, they will become apprentices in various trades and begin to earn money to support themselves.
Some of them will become the hard labor of Efat, while others will assist adventurers to go to nearby dungeons and live a life of licking blood.
Walking into the classroom, I unexpectedly found that several children had already arrived.
One of the thin girls is carefully helping to clean up the place, and a little boy is watering the flowers on the podium. The small chrysanthemum planted in the flower pot is young but strong, and it is Yuan Shui's favorite flower.
After saying hello to these children, after meeting by chance, I discovered that there was one child missing in the classroom.
The ten-year-old boy was very smart and fast in arithmetic. While other children were still struggling with two-digit multiplication and division, he had already mastered the four multi-digit arithmetic operations proficiently, and could even take the square root with his bare hands.
Through their own blessing, they met by chance and discovered that the other person was very talented in mathematics, and it was not impossible to become a mathematician in the future.
After the morning class, I met by chance and gave the children homework, and then asked: "Who knows where Little Thomas went?"
Little Thomas's deskmate raised his hand: "He said he wasn't coming." "
Why? ?"
"His father accidentally hit the noble gentleman's carriage when he came home. He didn't even think about whether the noble gentleman's carriage could have been easily hit. As a result, one leg was broken and the horse was frightened. , and even compensated the other party three silver coins. He had no choice but to go logging instead of his father."
"Logging...are you going to the lumberyard to log wood?"
"Yes. The lumberyard just outside the city."
"Yeah, okay. Yes, I understand."
After school, he met the aunt in the monastery by chance and said hello, preparing to go there to have a look.
After knowing the destination of the chance encounter, her grandma hesitated for a while, took out half a silver coin from her pocket, and carefully placed it in the chance encounter's hand.
"Little Thomas is a very good child. I'm worried that he may not be able to stand the environment of the lumberyard. Let's buy him some meat, eggs, milk and the like." "
Thank you, grandma."
The lumberyard is outside Yifat. To get there, you must enter the range of the Shadow and venture to the lumberyard.
The shadows of this world have evolved into tiny particles due to loopholes in the laws.
They will be inhaled into the body, take root in the lungs and then begin to corrode the patient's body. Unless expensive shadow liquid is used, they cannot be relieved and can only slowly enter death.
This process will be very long. The patient's immune system will collapse first, dark spots will appear on the surface of the body, multiple organs in the body will fail and exude a rotten smell, and finally turn into pus and die completely. The painful process will last for several months, and the shadow liquid cannot cure it, but can only delay the patient's life.
The longer you stay in the shadow, the higher the probability of being infected by the shadow. Many industrial buildings in Efat can only be built outside Efat, which makes going here a very dangerous thing.
After buying food, Yunshui began to walk outside.
The nun's robe made it easy for her to gain the goodwill of nearby residents. Well-dressed gentlemen would stop and bow, and law enforcers would nod.
But the further you go outside, the more depressing the atmosphere becomes.
A transparent barrier has appeared on the horizon. Although there is a barrier to isolate the strong shadows from the outside world, the sense of oppression is still impossible to ignore.
The noble-mannered gentlemen disappeared and were replaced by workers with numb faces. They walked on the road leaving Efat with dull expressions, or came back from outside exhausted.
Few players come here because the population density here is not high, and it is very difficult to find people to teach them.
There are many people in the lumber camp, but the road to the lumber camp is too difficult to climb.
After informing the guard guarding the purpose of his purpose, the guard hesitated for a moment when he saw the unexpected encounter with a charm of 16, and then whispered: "Miss Sister, the concentration of shadows has become higher recently. Hold your breath when you are in the passage, and then Move forward quickly, it will be safer."
"Okay, thank you."
As a player, she didn't need to breathe when they met by chance, but she still politely thanked her and walked into the passage.
There are two side-by-side passages here, one in and one out.
The long and narrow passage can only accommodate one person entering or exiting. The sides of the passage are made of thick steel. However, due to its age and disrepair, shadow particles are constantly leaking in from the gaps, affecting passers-by.
Driving into the narrow passage, I crawled forward little by little.
Even when playing games, she could feel the torture.
In order to save costs, the passages are like dog holes, and people can only crawl. The rough ground can easily wear out people's knees and elbows, making people miserable.
The long and narrow passage was extremely dark, and only the light the size of a grain of rice could be seen at the end. There was not even a light installed inside.
The crawl alone takes ten minutes, and it's not even shift time yet.
If there are too many people, the sultry air and the slowly seeping shadow particles will definitely be a test and torture for the soul, making it impossible to imagine that such a thing still exists.
Many people will suffer from claustrophobia when they see others climbing the passage. Even normal people are afraid of this place. Only determined players like Yun Shui Yuan can come and go independently.
Ten minutes later, by chance, he finally climbed through the passage.
Standing in the lumberyard on the other side, Chance could not help but let out a long breath, and then said: "It's okay, I'm coming."
[Really? Sure enough, he came over. ]
[Fortunately, we met by chance, otherwise I would never dare to come here alone. This dark and narrow place is so scary. 】
【My nightmare when I was a child was to be stuffed into the sewer of the toilet, then squeezed bit by bit along the dark pipe, deformed, and finally squeezed into the endless abyss. ]
[Stop talking, it has a visual feel. 】
The lumberyard also has a barrier, but the barrier is only in the middle area. If you want to work, you need to go outside.
There are tall and straight trees growing here. The width of these trees is only a palm, but the height can be more than ten meters. From a distance, they look like chimneys pointing straight to the sky.
Bathed in shadow, these trees are so fragile that a child can push them over with a hard swoop.
However, if you leave it for a period of time, the shadow particles will dissipate, allowing the tree to slowly become pliable and return to its original characteristics.
Therefore, logging here is an unskilled job, but people are being hired here every day because the mortality rate of workers is a bit high.
They have to enter the shadow area to cut wood. This process takes at least half a minute. Skilled workers will inhale in advance and rush in, but unskilled workers can't help but take a breath, and the result will be corroded by the shadow.
Every corrosion will increase the probability of getting sick, and even the most experienced workers will inevitably inhale some shadow particles, increasing their chances of getting sick.
When walking into the lumberyard, by chance, I saw a group of children just pulling out from the front.
They dragged the trees they had knocked down, all laughing happily.
The wages in the lumber mill were quite high. It was the first time these children knew that their labor was so valuable, and they had no idea that it was paid for with their lives.
A small boy walked at the end of the team, struggling to drag the trees forward, with red marks on his shoulders caused by the thick rope.
Suddenly, he felt his shoulders relax, and someone helped hold the rope and moved forward with him.
Raising his head, the boy's tired eyes showed a touching look, and he couldn't help shouting: "Teacher, Chance to Meet"
smiled and nodded. Chance and the boy worked together to drag the tree towards the camp.
The person in charge of the camp is a kind and honest man.
He is known as Mr. Deadwood. Although he looks a bit fierce and has a skull tattoo on his arm, after seeing the other party's information, they met by chance and knew that the other party is a good person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
The trees brought back by Little Toma were weighed. He took out his pen and calculated the total weight, and then said: "Two hundred and thirty kilograms, sixty-five copper coins, please keep it."
Little Toma thanked him gratefully and carefully. After collecting today's salary, he proudly puffed up his chest and said, "Teacher, what do you want to eat today? I'll treat you."
Holding the other person's hand, he found that the other person's hand had been torn by the rope, and there was blood and water. The sweat mixed together and looked shocking.
Looking back, she saw Efat in the distance, with majestic buildings looming.
It is the restaurant with the highest altitude and the most expensive price in Efat. Any dish costs more than a dozen silver coins. A dinner for a rich person can buy a child's salary for a year.
This kind of thing, right?
