It is cold in February. Although the beginning of spring has passed long ago, Tongguan City is still cold.

Sandezi, the guard of the Supervisor's Mansion, miraculously "recovered" under the careful care of Diandian day and night.

On this day, Diandian was wiping Sandezi's face. Sandezi suddenly thrust a carp and sat up. He was shocked by Diandian holding a towel.

Qin Er said sourly: "It's good to come back. Your recovery this time is really thanks to Diandian's care. He saved two money every day and changed the medicine soup for you. If you can't wake up again, Diandian will sell dowry."

"To be honest, if it were me, I would have planted you in the flower pot in the backyard and watered you every day."

Dian Dian glared at Qin Er, thinking that this second brother Qin really can't speak. Brother Dezi just woke up and didn't know how to say something nice.

Sandezi knew that Qin Er was not telling a lie. Although his "rehabilitation" this time had nothing to do with Diandian, he was quite moved. He rubbed his hands and didn't know what words he should say to Diandian. He just kept saying: "Actually, it's really a waste... It's just a small situation and I can't die..."

Of course, Sandezi's "rehabilitation" is actually not Diandian, but Xiong Yuanba's enemy, Zhang Xiaofan.

Just a day ago, Bai Quanyi updated the upgrade patch for the 1.04 version of "The Legend of Ming Dynasty".

This update is a daily tree cutting task.

Players must first cut down golden nanmu in a forest near Tongguan, then carry the golden nanmu to the edge of the Yellow River, and let the npc mark the nickname on the tree. Then the player places the golden nanmu on the frozen ice surface of the Yellow River, and then come back to find the npc to get the mission medal.

After the task is over, the number of medals won is obtained is exchanged for different "Ming Dynasty Official Documents".

Although it is a brainless tree cutting mission, those who still insist on staying in the game every day are all hardcore players in the game.

Everyone believes that with such an excellent "physics engine" and "high IQ ai" game, even if there are no tasks to do for the moment, the tasks in the future will definitely emerge one after another and gradually become richer.

When the tree-cutting task was announced, all players were happy and excited. It seemed that they saw a good start for the game production team to enrich the game plot tasks.

Zhang Xiaofan even gave a reward of 10,000 yuan under the forum's announcement post "1.04 version update".

Jin Qian is definitely a good soldier. Zhang Xiaofan knows this truth well. Although he established the "Su Gu Jun" in order to compete with Bai Quanyi, he also did not want the whole game to collapse.

After playing for so long, I have developed some game feelings. Seeing the version update, I finally got a daily task. This is also a good start, and I need to give it some appropriate encouragement.

This ten thousand yuan was nothing to Zhang Xiaofan, but for Bai Quanyi, it solved the urgent problem. He immediately became much more generous.

Originally, this npc Bai Quanyi, who was responsible for supervising the counting of the cut down golden nanmu, was still a little worried. He thought it was really not possible, so he drew Li Donglai or Xu Xiaoguang from the pawnshop to serve as a part-time job.

But at this moment, with such a large amount of money at hand, Ai Sandezi, who had previously owed and shut down, could be re-leased.

After all, I have been working in the game for a while and am considered an experienced old comrade. Even though there are some flaws, I finally know the truth.

Another key point is that Sandezi’s rent is discounted!

Originally, 230 yuan per month was already the lowest price level. Almost every such aai has various personality defects and problems.

If Sandezi counts Bai Quanyi’s arrears and downtime, the employer has returned it three times. So AI company simply put Sandezi in the AI ​​processing category. The rent can be paid at 20% off during the first three months of the probation period. Bai Quanyi can also invisibly pick another cheaper one.

Not far from Tongguan, there is a small hill full of pine trees. Bai Quanyi pulled out all these pine trees and replaced them with golden nanmu trees of the same thickness. And how much can they be cut, how much can they grow in place. The total number of cuts was set to 60,000, and the additional 10,000 were prepared, which was considered the surplus given.

If you are in other games, life skills such as cutting trees, planting vegetables, and striking irons may be more single and boring.

But what is rare in "The Record of Apocalypse in the Late Ming Dynasty" is that the details are extremely rich. For example, after more than a month of training, in addition to the large amount of experience gained on the battlefield when opening the server, the level of players has been somewhat improved by fighting scarecrows and holding stone locks.

Even players who have not upgraded much have far surpassed ordinary people in terms of their general physical fitness.

However, this tree cutting is not just about having the strength. By swinging the axe and relying on brute force, you can cut down the golden nanmu that is thick with your arms.

This requires two people to hold saws, match each other's rhythm, and constantly wedge wood chips into the saw seam to raise the saw seam to prevent the saw from being stuck.

In short, cutting trees is actually a technical job.

The other two people worked together to cut trees for a long time. When they were bored, chatting from all over the world invisibly deepened their feelings and increased some of the game stickiness.

Of course, no matter what kind of ordinary tasks are, they will taste a little more when put into the hands of players. Soon, in an accident, some players discovered that they could actually use this tree cutting to explode other players' equipment.

When actually logging, usually experienced lumberjacks will shout and shout "Call the mountain" the moment the big tree is cut down.

If the big tree falls down the mountain, it will shout "Fallen down the mountain~", and when the direction of the mountain is "Fallen up the mountain", and when the horizontal one falls, it will be "Fallen down the mountain"

The purpose is to prevent people from being injured by big trees among their peers, but players accidentally discovered that killing people with big trees can be regarded as accidental damage and force majeure. The name does not change color!

So this golden nanmu forest soon became a place for players to fight wits and power. This "shouting mountain" is also something to shout, but the direction of shouting is often the opposite of the direction where the big tree really falls.

As the saying goes, there is endless fun to fight with people. There is cooperation, competition, and mission rewards to get. Although it is just a simple tree cutting task, players are enjoying it. Soon, on the ice of the Yellow River, the logs that have been cut are piled up like mountains.

As the only task in the game at present, players are flocking to it and go out early and come back late every day.

At the beginning, Ma Shiyao didn't realize anything was wrong. Later, a guardian reported that the heroes frequently left the city these days and didn't know what to do, which attracted Ma Shiyao's attention.

Regarding the movements of the heroes, Ma Shiyao's top priority was Ma Shiyao's heart, so he immediately sent his confidant Ma Xier to check it out.

Ma Xier followed the heroes secretly for a few days, but she didn't dare to go too far. She only knew that the heroes cut trees on the mountain and piled up trees on the Yellow River. It seemed that they wanted to do a discharge business.

However, since ancient times, there has been no such way to release the discharge. There is no problem with logging in winter, but the logs must be piled on the shore. When the rainfall in summer is abundant and the river water surges, you can push all the logs into the river.

But now the water surface of the Yellow River is frozen, and the weather is so cold in recent years, it may take one month for the Yellow River to thaw.

If the "Wukai River" is fine, the ice surface collapses together, and these logs will rush downstream along with the ice cubes.

If you encounter "Wenkaihe" and thaw one piece a day, these logs will float around in the east and west, and I don't know how many things will be lost.

In addition, Ma Xier is very familiar with the area. There is indeed a pine forest nearby, but those pine trees can be cooked at most. The wood is soft and oily. There is no such thing as any material available. These heroes cut down these pine trees, but they are afraid that they will not make ends meet when the time comes.

However, although he did not dare to move forward in the past few days, from a distance, the cut logs were big and straight, completely different from pine wood.

As a guy who has been a long-term leader, Ma Xier knows that all the suspicious details are the key to revealing the final answer.

He didn't dare to move forward during the day. That night, while there was no one around, he sneaked out of the city alone and followed the ice of the Yellow River to check the whole story of the wood on the ice of the Yellow River.

Ma Xier thought that it was the cold wind in the middle of the night. It was impossible for anyone to discover his whereabouts in this wilderness, but she didn't expect that his actions would be completely seen by a person.

This person is nothing but a dictionary.

Diandian, a little girl, naturally could not follow Ma Xier in the middle of the night. There was something else he had when he came to the river.

Because Sandezi was arranged to go to the river to award logging rewards. When the player carried the wood over, Sandezi had to burn the player's nickname on the wood. After the player put the wood code on the ice, he had to get a mission medal from Sandezi, so Sandezi can be said to be very busy these days.

And the creatures like players are hiding during the day and coming out at night. They may not be able to sleep in the middle of the night, and they are in a state of interest. It is not rare to go to the back mountain to knock down two golden nanmu trees and carry them to the riverside.

When Sandezi saw that he could not leave at night, he built a shack by the river. Players could come to complete the task at any time and get the task medals at any time.

It was originally a very ordinary arrangement, but Diandian was extremely angry. The owner of this person named "Bai Quanyi" was too mean. Brother Dezi had just recovered from a serious illness and was unconscious for so many days.

But as soon as I recovered, I was going to stay at night on the edge of the Yellow River. Even the landlord Lao Cai in the city could not use it like this.

She wanted to find the person named "Bai Quanyi" and said, and she had a good argument, but was stopped by Sandezi.

Sandezi was afraid that Diandian would be worried, so he took the two stone lions at the entrance of the Supervisor's Office and threw them in the air a few times, telling Diandian that he had been completely "healed" now and that he was not seriously injured now, so he didn't have to worry at all.

But Diandian was still worried after all, and she still boiled medicine every day to send it to Sandezi.

Sandezi was so amused and cried that he wanted to tell Diandian that he really didn't have to waste money, but Diandian insisted on doing so. Sandezi had no choice. While staying in the shack by the Yellow River, he had to pinch his nose and drink the soup for replenishing qi and fitness that Diandian cooked for him.

On this day, Diandian cooked herbs for Sandezi as usual, but accidentally saw Ma Xier on the ice.

She fell in love with Ma Xier at first sight, and the feelings of this little girl's family were engraved in her heart. Although it was dark, she still recognized Ma Xier's figure on the river with the moonlight at a glance.

My heartbeat suddenly increased a little: "Oh, he... he wasn't here to find me."

When she saw Ma Xier's clumsy figure slipping on the ice, she felt very funny. She was about to look at her more. Suddenly, she remembered something and said intimately: "No, Ma Xier is in danger!"

It turns out that more and more golden nanmu are piled up on the river surface in the past few days, so Bai Quanyi has issued an announcement that at the beginning of the Yin hour tonight, he will draw a constant temperature zone along the Yellow River and Huai River.

At that time, the entire ice surface of the Yellow River will collapse instantly. The rushing river water will send these golden nanmu to Yangzhou City together.

All players know about this, and Sandezi naturally knows it, and they talked to Dian Dian inadvertently, and Dian Dian didn't care much when he heard it. At this moment, he suddenly thought about it and was shocked.

Diandian knew that although Sandezi was a little reckless sometimes, she would never talk nonsense. She didn't have time to think too much, so she hurried to the bank of the Yellow River, and shouted at Ma Xier like a madman: "Come back quickly! The ice surface is about to collapse!"

Diandian is located on the south bank, but at this time the weather in February was blowing north wind. The sound transmission was transmitted against the wind, and it was not very real.

Ma Xier vaguely heard someone shouting on the shore on the ice, and was shocked. She was afraid that the matter of secretly investigating the heroes would be exposed, so she squatted down and put her figure behind a pile of golden nanmu.

Dian Dian was shocked when he saw it, and ran along the dam toward the ice. While running, he screamed at the top of his throat: "The ice surface is about to collapse, leave here quickly!"

Ma Xier hid behind the pile of wood, and at this time he could also vaguely hear Dian Dian's screams, thinking:

"I am a native of Henan. I can be said to be very familiar with the Yellow River. Now the ice surface under my feet is probably no more than ten feet thick. In this season, even if the carriage is on the top, it will be fine. How could it collapse? The little girl shouted in the middle of the night, saying that she was hysterical."

Diandian ran desperately on the ice, falling a few times, regardless of the pain. He thought about running to Ma Xier and pulled Ma Xier back to the shore.

It was at this moment that a loud "click" sound came from the horizon, and another rumble like galloping horses came from under his feet. Diandian only felt that the entire ice surface was constantly starting to vibrate.

Before Dian Dian could scream, the loud noise from the sky had already come near. The rumbling sound under his feet was getting louder and louder, and it was the sound of countless broken ice and rocks rubbing against the bottom of the river and the ice surface.

Immediately afterwards, a loud "boom" sound was heard. The entire ice surface of the Yellow River actually broke into countless ice cubes in an instant.

From the upstream, the water of the Yellow River flowed downwards and came in turbulent white waves. After all, Ma Xier was born as a general and knew it was not good in an instant. She turned over and rode onto a huge golden nanmu tree next to her.

However, Diandian was unable to avoid it. Before he could shout, he was caught in a torrent full of broken ice.

Sandezi in the shack heard Diandian's shouts, and when he came out, Diandian had already fallen into the water. Sandezi didn't care about taking off his clothes, so he plunged into the Yellow River.

However, he forgot one thing. He was always carrying his purple gold whip on his back. You should know that his purple gold whip weighed 800 pounds. Now, with such a heavy guy, how can he still swim in the water?

As soon as Sandezi jumped into the Yellow River, his body sank directly to the bottom of the water. When he used his hands and feet together and climbed back to the shore, Diandian had been washed dozens of feet away by the torrent.

At this time of crisis, I suddenly saw a floating figure rising from the shore, and my body was so high that it was in the air, and I gently stepped on a piece of floating ice.

After borrowing some force, he jumped lightly onto another piece of floating ice and headed straight for Diandian in the torrent.

Ma Xier grabbed the golden nanmu under her hands, looked at her body that was constantly jumping on the floating ice, and secretly admired her: "This person has such a great light body skill. He can jump on this slippery ice surface. It seems that he wants to save the little girl who fell into the water."
