A small head peeked out from behind the bushes. It was a vigorous little boy, about seven or eight years old. He was wearing patched clothes that did not fit him well. Compared to the newbie clothes that Yun Xiao was wearing, the clothes were much ragged. He looked at Li Yunyi in horror.
"I, I didn't mean to peek. Don't kill me.”
"I won't kill you.”Li Yunyi felt as if he was a villain. This was the first time he had seen a native NPC. He was no different from a real person.
"Thank you, my lord." The little boy turned around and waved his hand. It turned out that there was a little girl younger than him not far behind him.
The little girl stared at the venison in Li Yunyi's hand as soon as she came out, making the little boy blush.
Unable to stand the cute little girl's gaze, Yun Xiao beckoned the two of them to sit at the side and told them to share some when the meat was cooked. The two of them were very excited and insisted on kneeling down to thank Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao also knew their names. The man was called Jiang Hu, and the woman was called Xiu 'er. They were from the same village. Because the grain harvest last year and this year was not good, the two of them were looking for wild fruits to eat at the edge of the forest.
"Aren't you afraid of wild beasts when you come to the forest?”
"There are no wild beasts here. They have all been hunted by the adults. There are only wild beasts on the high mountains over there.”
Li Yunyi was conflicted. Was the land he had chosen really suitable for establishing a territory? There were so few resources and nothing but wild grass and rocks in the wilderness. For example, their village had a poor harvest in the southern region. The farmland in this place was terrible, and there were no small beasts in the forest. F * ck, could they rely on fishing to make up for the food shortage in the future?
The three of them quickly finished the five pounds of roasted meat. The two little fellows 'stomachs were round from eating. Then, Yun Xiao suggested that they go to the village. The two little fellows happily ran in front and led the way.
The village was not far from the forest, about five miles away.
This was a village built by a small river. It was called Qingshan Village. Outside the village was a stretch of farmland. Jiang Hu brought Li Yunyi to his house at the entrance of the village. There were only two thatched huts in his house. One of them had a shed outside. Under the shed, there were a few farm tools and ironware. This made Yun Xiao take it to heart.
"Father, father, we have guests." Little Tiger cried out loudly.
A dark-skinned, burly man walked out of the thatched cottage. Although he did not know Li Yunyi's background, he still kindly invited Yun Xiao into the house. He then learned the whole story from Little Tiger. After some introductions, the two sat down and started chatting. Jiang Hu's father was called Jiang Qing.
"I'm sorry, we don't have any good tea at home, only boiled water. Thank you for taking care of the two little ones, Brother Li. I didn't take good care of them. Although the forest isn't dangerous for adults, there are still snakes and insects.”
"It's fine, Big Brother Jiang is too polite. I hope I won't disturb you with my sudden visit.”
"How could that be? I heard that you're traveling the world (Li Yunyi made it up to Little Tiger on the way)? I wonder how the situation outside is now? Our crops aren't doing well, and we're being harassed by mountain bandits.”
"There are bandits here? It was not good outside either. This burly man could be said to be in dire straits.”
"Sigh, the Great Han Dynasty is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past. Why aren't there any mountain bandits here? There are mountain strongholds in the nearby mountains, and there are also alien strongholds. I'm sure you've seen the mountain next to our village. There's a White Tiger Mountain Stronghold up there.”
Li Yunyi studied Jiang Qing." Judging from Brother Jiang's tone, he's not an ordinary person, is he?”
"No, Brother Li, what are you thinking? I'm just an ordinary farmer.”
Yun Xiao smiled and did not continue asking. He always felt that Jiang Qing was not like an ordinary farmer. In the following chat, Yun Xiao began to ask for the information he wanted, such as where to get the village building order, how to get to the county town, whether there was a military camp in the county town, etc. Jiang Qing told him everything he knew.
As the sky darkened, Jiang Qing suggested that Li Yunyi stay in the village for a night before going to the county town. Yunyi readily agreed and gave him the remaining piece of venison. While Jiang Qing was cooking, he asked Xiaohu to take him on a stroll around the village. During this time, he met the village chief, an old man with white hair and a beard. He looked a little cultured and was the grandfather of the little girl called Xiu 'er. The village was not big, with only 23 households and a total population of 70 people. However, it was still a village in the game. The small village actually had a grocery store, a carpenter shop, a tailor shop, a small tavern, and the village chief's family even opened a small medical hall. It was obviously a game feature.
……
After dinner, the hospitable Jiang Qing arranged for Li Yunyi to rest in an empty thatched cottage.
"Go to the forum and see if there are any experience posts from the people who built the village.”Li Yunyi logged out of the game and continued to lie in the gaming pod. The game access device could also connect to the Internet directly, so he could switch to the forum.
The official forum of << REBIRTH >> was quite popular, which made Li Yunyi speechless, especially when the banner on the front page read: Currently, there were 5.6 billion registered gamers and 3.9 billion online gamers.
F * ck, did it have to be so scary? Li Yunyi's mouth twitched when he opened the players 'forum. He saw that there were quite a few hot posts about him, which made him a little embarrassed.
" Mysterious Martial Arts Family's Successor Shocks the Whole Server, Consecutive Four Cultivation Techniques "
" The biggest BUG in the game. How can a newbie create a cultivation technique? Where is the justice?"
'It's said that the person who created the cultivation technique has been found by the Dark Night Guild.'
"Is he a human or a god?"》
Li Yunyi didn't read any posts about himself. He only read the posts about the game strategy and experience.
He found quite a few good posts and learned a lot about the game. For example, the system was very evil. A low-level iron sword was sold for 1000 copper coins, and the price of recycling resources was very low. After building a village, wild monsters, raiders, and mountain bandits will spawn nearby. Pay attention to your defenses.
……
After reading the useful posts, Yun Xiao returned to the game.
"Looks like I've underestimated the people of the world. Although I'm familiar with history, it doesn't mean that I have an advantage. Damn it, I almost forgot that this is a virtual world. He had to catch up to the first group in the game as soon as possible.”Yun Xiao had indeed forgotten the most important thing about the opening of the new server. What was the most important thing about the new server? Naturally, they would be the first to open the server. They would fight to level up, fight to kill monsters, fight for resources, and fight for bosses.
He took out a brocade box from his storage ring. He finally remembered the supreme gift box that the system rewarded him when he registered his character.
"Please, you have to get something good.”
Opening the brocade box, a burst of colorful light flashed. Inside the box lay a golden piece of paper with strange patterns on it.
[Terrain Modification Talisman (Overlord): Able to modify any terrain within a radius of 200 square kilometers according to the user's thoughts. Validity: 7 days.]
"Good stuff. It's definitely a treasure. If we surround the village with mountains, who can attack it? However, how could it be limited in time? I had to improve and get a village building order. The forum said that it was sold for 10 gold per piece in the city, and it could only be sold for 100 yuan in a county. If Dongye County, where I was from, sold out, it would be terrible.”
The next day, Li Yunyi bid farewell to Jiang Qing and the village chief. Following the direction Jiang Qing had pointed out, he set off for the county town. When the village was out of sight, Li Yunyi took out the SSS-rank NPC subordinate summoning talisman rewarded by the system.
Soon, after using the summoning talisman, a middle-aged man with a scholarly aura walked toward Li Yunyi and bowed to him.
"Zhao Zhe greets my lord."
"No need for formalities." Yun Xiao excitedly checked Zhao Zhe's personal attributes (Players can only check the attributes of their subordinates)
[Name: Zhao Zhe, 35 years old]
[Qualification: SSS (NPCs 'qualifications are F,E,D,C,B,A,S,SS,SSS from lowest to highest. Historical figures have the lowest S rank. The higher the qualification, the fewer the number of people. They are all unique and cannot be resurrected after death unless they have special items.] Every time an NPC leveled up, the attribute points obtained were fixed. F leveled up would obtain 1 point, E leveled up would obtain 2 points, and so on A leveled up would obtain 6 points, S leveled up would obtain 8 points, SS leveled up would obtain 12 points, SSS leveled up would obtain 18 points. Of course, the success of an NPC also depended on whether the direction of cultivation was suitable and the environment in which it grew up.)
[Class: None]
[Reputation: 100]
[Identity: Commoner]
[Loyalty: 75]
[Level: 0 (0/50)]
Force 4, Commander 5, Intelligence 10, Political 10
[Specialties: Territory management, pacifying the people.]
[Skill: Persuade to surrender (Use money to persuade low-level humanoid NPCs to surrender, up to 100 people per day, 100 copper coins per person)]
[Equipment: None]
As expected of an SSS-grade NPC, with two full innate attributes, plus his specialties and skills, he's simply a super civil servant. In the future, with Zhao Zhe overseeing the territory, I can be much more relaxed.
Li Yunyi suppressed his excitement and told Zhao Zhe about his current situation, as well as his plan to buy a village creation token. He wanted to see if Zhao Zhe had any good suggestions. Although his direction of development was politics and not strategy, he was still a genius with an innate intelligence of 10.
Zhao Zhe was moved by Li Yunyi's honesty and trust. He felt that he was valued and his loyalty to Yun Xiao increased to 85 points, which made Yun Xiao overjoyed.
" My lord, your main idea is correct, but we can adjust the details. If there is a chance, we will definitely go to the county town. Because building a village requires a lot of building blueprints. Some can be obtained in the wild, while others have to be bought in the city. As for the village building order, there is a shortcut. Actually, my lord, you can find a dilapidated village and give the village chief some money to pass the position of village chief to you. In such a remote village, the government would not say anything if you became the village chief. But remember not to rob. The village that you rob will become a stronghold of raiders and become the target of the government.”
Li Yunyi was a little surprised when he heard this. He hadn't expected this to happen. Damn it, it was good to have an intelligent subordinate.
Just as Yun Xiao was about to ask Zhao Zhe if he was willing to negotiate on his behalf, the system's voice sounded.
[System Message: Player Li Lin has triggered a side story mission. The difficulty of the mission is three stars.(In the game, the lowest mission is one star, and the highest is five stars.) Do you want to accept it?]
