Chapter 188
Lin Tian saw a village named Lei Village.
I saw the farmers in the village doing farm work. They looked honest and honest, so there should be no danger.
Lin Tian stepped forward and tried to say hello to the farmers.
After receiving enthusiastic responses from farmers,
Lin Tian tried to ask two questions that he was most concerned about now.
One is, how to make money,
The second is how to recruit soldiers.
Regarding the two questions raised by Lin Tian,
The answers given by the farmers all pointed to one person.
village head.
"The village chief is looking for someone to deliver a letter recently. If you help him deliver the letter to the target location, he should give you a good reward."
"As for recruiting soldiers, you can also ask the village chief. There seem to be a few young people in the village who want to go out and make a living. You only need to pay some gold coins to recruit some new soldiers from the village chief."
When Lin Tian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"
The farmer smiled and scratched his head and said, "I'm glad that I can provide you with the help I can. If you need any help, you can come to me."
Seeing how enthusiastic the farmer brother was, Lin Tian asked tentatively: "Excuse me, can you lend me some money?"
"Money?" As soon as this word was mentioned, the smile on the farmer's brother's face immediately disappeared. "This year's autumn harvest hasn't started yet. How can I have money?"
Lin Tian pointed at the old scalper beside him and said, "If you sell this cow, won't you make money?"
The farmer brother quickly shook his head and said: "No! This old scalper is the most valuable property of my family. Apart from this old scalper, I can give you anything else you want!"
When Lin Tian heard this, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the wife of the farmer brother beside him: "Okay, then I want this!"
Farmer Brother:......
After a moment of silence,
The farmer brother picked up the pickaxe and looked at Lin Tian expressionlessly.
When Lin Tian saw this, he quickly walked away and complained: "It's so annoying!"
Leave the farmland,
Lin Tian entered the village and came to the village chief's hut.
When he arrived, the village chief was squatting at the door smoking a dry cigarette.
After consulting the village chief about the letter delivery task,
The village chief immediately stood up enthusiastically, took out a letter from his arms, and introduced the details of the task: "As long as you can help me deliver the letter to the village chief on time, I will give you a reward of 30 gold coins. !”
Lin Tian heard this and immediately asked: "How long does it take to get to Tucun from here?"
The village chief thought for a while and said: "If we walk, it will take about three days!"
[Note: The ratio of the time flow rate of this game cartridge to the real time flow rate is 1:10. The game time limit is 30 days as the real time. In other words, the player has a total of 300 days of activity time in the game cartridge world]
"Three days?" Lin Tian heard the words, glanced at the game prompt that popped up in front of him, and couldn't help but chew his teeth.
Although the time flow in the game world is slow,
Lin Tian has a total of 300 days of game time.
However, after spending three full days, I could only earn 30 gold coins.
Obviously, the efficiency is still too low.
After thinking about it, Lin Tian still wanted to consult the purchasing power of gold coins before making a decision, so he asked again: "I heard that Leicun now has new soldiers that can be recruited. How much does it cost to recruit a new soldier?"
The village chief took a puff of dry cigarette and replied: "50 gold coins."
Lin Tian's mouth twitched when he heard this: "The money we earned from running for three days is not enough to recruit a soldier!"
Turning his head, Lin Tian glanced at the thin brown horse in the stable at the door of the village chief's house. His eyes lit up and he asked: "It should be much faster to deliver the letter on horseback. Can you lend me the horse for a ride?"
The village chief smiled and said: "Of course. If you ride a horse, it will only take one day to deliver it. If you want to rent this horse... I will only charge you thirty gold coins a day!"
Lin Tian:......
Lin Tian: "You're just a fool! You're not a human being, are you?"
Delivering letters earns 30, and borrowing horses costs 30.
Doesn't this mean working for free?
The capitalists are not as ruthless as the village chief!
After listening to what the village chief said,
Lin Tian couldn't help but look a little ugly.
"So, do you want to help me deliver the letter?"
The village chief was smoking a dry cigarette and still asking questions shamelessly.
Lin Tian stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."
The village chief smiled with satisfaction and handed the letter to Lin Tian.
took the letter,
Lin Tian tore it into pieces on the spot and threw it in the village chief's face.
Then, he shouted angrily: "Thirty Years Village is at the east end, Thirty Years Village is at the west end, don't bully young people into poverty!"
Unexpectedly, he just tore the letter into pieces.
In front of you, a prompt pops up.
["Send a letter" task failed]
[Leicun’s favorability towards you is reduced to -1]
[If necessary, please leave Leicun as soon as possible]
Seeing the angry look on the village chief's face, he waved to several strong village boys.
Lin Tian quickly turned around and ran away!
...
At the same time, in the Daxia live broadcast room.
Seeing Lin Tian fleeing in despair,
The barrage area couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"This Lin Tian, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, is nothing more than that!"
"That's right!"
"Isn't it just embarrassing for us, Daxia, if he goes to participate in international competitions like this!?"
"Is it really just luck that you were able to perform well in the college entrance examination before?"
"In our Daxia, after all, there is still no super genius born..."
...
In the barrage, many viewers made sarcastic remarks.
Some people couldn't help but feel sorry for Daxia.
"Well, it seems that Lin Tian's start in this game was not smooth!"
Professional game commentator Qian Shaoshao looked at Brother Mai Pian, who had a dazed expression, and sighed to comfort him,
"However, this is just the beginning. How can a golden scale stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon. As long as he finds the right game idea, Lin Tian will still have a chance to rise in the future!"
Brother Mai Pian nodded and smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, am I still expecting too much from Lin Tian? After all, he is just a freshman! Maybe he has never been exposed to war strategy games."
"It's normal to encounter some bottlenecks when you first start."
"Come on, let's switch the camera and take a look at the other contestants of Daxia first!"
As soon as the voice fell, the picture in the live broadcast room turned.
The perspective shifted to a jungle.
In the jungle,
Qingyuan E-sports University seed player Zhou Xing was holding a bow and arrow, hunting wild wolves in the jungle.
Poof!
The secret technique was used, and a lightning arrow was shot out!
The wild wolf was directly paralyzed and stunned by the electricity!
"It seems that Zhou Xing intends to get his first pot of gold through hunting."
"If he can use the lightning secret technique to capture this wild animal alive, his initial capital acquisition speed will undoubtedly be very fast!"
Seeing the live broadcast, Qian Shaoshao's eyes lit up and explained.
Brother Mai Pian was a little confused: "But where did his bow and arrow come from? Zhou Xingxuan's initial identity should be a 'graduate of the secret technique academy', how could he have an extra weapon?"
Qian Shaoshao thought for a while and said: "I guess the source of this bow and arrow should be related to his talent! In last year's Global E-sports University Game League, he seemed to have always been ahead in weapons."
As he said, the camera turned again.
It shifted to the perspective of the captain of Qingyuan E-sports University.
The initial identity of this battle selection was "a warrior who practiced hard in the mountains".
At this time, the captain joined a mercenary team and was fighting against a group of bandits with the members of the mercenary team.
The camera switched several times in a row.
Several contestants valued by Daxia performed well in the early stage of the game.
In particular, the two freshmen, Huang Tianao and Xiao Yun, relied on their respective talents to gain a very outstanding advantage in the early stage.
Huang Tianao seemed to have a God's perspective. After a series of accidental events, he successfully joined the latest bandit-suppressing force formed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and received a generous reward.
