Chapter 114 Shopping Mall(1/2)
By the time the players who took on the special mission came online again, three days had passed in the game.
It's not that they didn't want to go online in advance, but the way the game exhausted their mental energy allowed them to sleep for more than ten hours.
‘Dream Journey’ stands at the door of the novice hall. It has been built many times - every time new building materials appear, players have defaulted to using this officially owned building for practice.
After many constructions and a steady output of plant ash cement, the appearance of the novice hall has become close to that of a modern rural cement house. The plaque hanging at the door was written by a well-known calligraphy player.
The land area has been expanded several times.
As soon as you enter the door, you are facing a wooden counter. Occasionally, players will come in behind the counter to act as the front desk, but it is actually just for decoration.
Behind the right side of the counter is the staircase to the second floor. There are two large spaces on both sides. One side is semi-open. Each space is separated by wooden boards as high as one person. Rows of tables are arranged neatly, with two tables at the back.
Three wooden chairs.
One side is similar to a private room, with two rows of rooms facing each other. It has doors, panels and windows. There is a small wooden sign on the roof with the name of the store, and there is a wooden shelf next to the door with the name of the goods and the price on it.
It is obvious that the novice hall has been transformed into a place to open a shop and sell goods. On one side are small stalls and hawkers, with goods placed on the table, and you can pay and take them away. On the other side are large merchants with storefronts. The goods are regular and have stable sources, so they can buy them.
Taking large orders.
‘Dream Journey’ uses human-shaped game characters this time, for no other reason than that since the novice lobby was transformed into this look, oversized Zerg game characters are prohibited from entering to avoid accidental injuries.
The other thing is to save some space. The Zerg behind are bigger than the other. If we really want them to be able to move freely, I don't know how big the novice lobby must be to expand it.
In the distance, 'Princess Mengyiyi' and 'Tang Dynasty Lizi' walked hand in hand. They were also two players who took on special missions. However, they died a little early. They had no fighting talent and did not open the weapons after receiving them.
I automatically switched to a new account after just a few shots, and I didn’t even catch up with Molan’s ability to delay the online time of the game.
I heard that the novice lobby has been transformed into a "shopping mall". The nature of girls makes them want to go shopping, and then they call the payment machine brother "Mengzhongyou" by the way.
Because they did not contribute much in special tasks, 'Princess Mengyiyi' and 'Tang Dynasty Lizi' did not receive many task rewards. In addition, the two of them did not like hunting very much, so they usually did odd jobs for other players, and their account balances were
There are really not many energy points.
It's enough for daily gaming, but not enough when you want to go shopping and buy something.
'Dream Journey' is different from them, although he is not as addicted to hunting as players like 'Al is My Wife', 'Stealing Shoes and Taking Others' Paths', and will not give up until he hunts more than a dozen animals in a day, nor is he like
"This brick is too hot to touch." The "disciples of God's closed business" also own factories and make a steady stream of money every day.
But he is an expert in special tasks! There are always many rewards for special tasks. After all, giving less will not reflect the rarity and preciousness of special tasks.
And 'Mengzhongyou' usually doesn't have any big expenses, so he really has a lot of energy points in his account, and he can even open a factory directly without looking for a loan.
'Princess Mengyiyi' actually doesn't have much feelings about her brother's willingness to spend money on her... In reality, during holidays or birthdays, her brother will often give him a car, a house, and hundreds of thousands of jewelry.
The return gift is usually something of similar price.
It is normal for my brother to be used as a payment machine.
As for the 'honest and upright people who add insult to injury', he is one of the last ones to log off and his mental strength is still relatively low. He is not online yet. Maybe he wants to take more rest.
"elder brother."
"Um."
After a brief greeting, ‘Mengzhongyou’ turned around and walked in first, while ‘Princess Mengyiyi’ and ‘Tang Dynasty Lizi’ took the lead.
"Have you and your brother always been like this?" 'Tang Dynasty Lizi' leaned into 'Princess Mengyiyi''s ear and whispered, "You two seem to have such a cold relationship."
Two 1.8-meter tall, muscular men, holding hands in a very girlish manner, and whispering to each other from time to time. No matter how you look at it, they look very awkward, but the person involved doesn't notice it at all, and has even become accustomed to this look.
Go outside and take a look, not to mention two burly men holding hands, even two creatures of different shapes and sizes can be sticky and kissing together - especially some couple players.
"It's okay, we have a good relationship." 'Princess Mengyiyi' thought for a while. She had been cared for by a nanny at home since she was a child. The house was big and she had her own private space. Moreover, there was a big age difference, so she really didn't communicate much.
.
But the relationship between the two of them is pretty good. No matter if it's a holiday or a birthday, they never forget it. Maybe they just have a cold personality and don't show that much enthusiasm. To outsiders, it looks like they don't have a good relationship.
If the relationship was really bad, Princess Mengyi would not let her brother act as a payment machine so naturally. After all, games are just games, and there are countless excuses.
‘Wandering in the Dream’ heard the conversation behind him and his ears moved, but he didn’t react at all and continued to act as a half-guide.
The first thing we went over was the shops on that side. There were about twenty rooms in total, some were large and some were small. Not all rooms were the same, so naturally not all the rooms were rented out. Only a few shops were occupied.
The largest store was rented by "This Brick Is Hot", and he was so generous when he was rich. The unpretentious name "Zerg Brick Factory" was hung on the door sign.
'Tang Chao Lizi' pulled 'Princess Meng Yiyi' and walked in excitedly. The person who looked after the store was 'The Actor Ben Jing'. I don't know where I got a set of costumes for a store waiter. It looked like the same thing. Originally
I was yawning at the door when I saw two girls coming in. I immediately fell into the drama, nodded and bowed and came closer.
"Sir, please come in. What do you want to buy? Come in and take a look. Let me tell you, our bricks are the best..."
‘Tang Dynasty Lizi’ couldn’t stop laughing, “Hahaha, you’ve got it all wrong.” No brick seller would recommend it like this.
'Princess Mengyiyi' also laughed, but she kept her eyes on the scene in the store. There was a decent-looking wooden counter at the door, and two rows of shelves against the wall opposite.
A row of shelves is filled with all kinds of bricks, of different sizes and with different proportions of soil. It looks like there are quite a lot of them.
On another row of shelves, there are rows of pottery, including pots and pans. They are not good-looking, and most of them are plain color. Occasionally there are some with patterns, but they are irregular and do not arouse the desire to buy.
, some are even less pleasing to the eye than the bricks next to them.
There is also a small door at the back, and this shop actually has two rooms... Of course, it cannot be ruled out that I bought two rooms and opened them myself.
A faint fire could be seen from the door. Princess Mengyi opened the curtain, and a wave of heat hit her face. There was a burning iron stove in the middle of this small room, with soil, water tanks, and various
Plant molds and pile charcoal and firewood on the other side.
"This is the idea of Mr. Brick. If you are interested, you can experience the feeling of making pottery here." The "actor Ben Jing" chuckled and stepped forward to explain at the right time.
"Really?" 'Tang Dynasty Lizi' was eager to give it a try.
"Really." The 'actor' nodded sincerely, "But there is a fee. The experience will cost you 1 energy point for two hours, and the work will take away 1 energy point."
As he said that, he pointed to the pottery shelf in the room outside, "The ones on it are made by other players."
The first reaction of 'Tang Dynasty Lizi' was that no wonder the pottery outside was so ugly. It turned out that no player wanted to buy it. The beautiful ones had already been taken away with money.
Then I suddenly realized, oh my god, there is a charge for this thing! The price is quite expensive!
But before she had time to hesitate whether to waste energy points to experience such a useless thing, 'Dream Travel' had already looked up at the two of them and said, "Two hours each."
Wow, the energy points have arrived.
A real president will not ask you if you want it. When you stop, you are already ready to swipe your card.
The smile of the 'actor' became more genuine, and he greeted the three people inside, "Come on, come on, boss, come in quickly, I'll mix the soil for you."
After getting started, the actual production process actually only takes one hour. I think setting two hours is just a starting price to facilitate calculation of charges.
The pottery made by the two girls was put into the iron stove by the "actor Benjing". This process would take half a day, but the pottery could be made for another hour.
However, 'Princess Mengyiyi' and 'Tang Dynasty Lizi' took a look at the 'Dream Journey' waiting next to them, and were too embarrassed to continue. They decided to go to other places to have a look, and then come back to pick up their finished products.
‘The Actor Benjing’ also mentioned that because this process is a simplified process as a whole, the pottery that comes out will not be particularly strong and cannot be really used, and can only be used as an ornament.
Players who come here to experience making pottery for themselves do not really want to make usable tools. If they have the time and energy, it would be better to just buy the finished product, which is durable and cheap.
Coming out of the "Zerg Brick Factory" store, there is a fabric store of about the same size opposite, and next to it is a clothing store. Two players are sitting at the door chatting. There are really not many customers in their store.
The reason is also very simple. Most of the players use Zerg game characters. They don’t need clothes and fabrics, so they don’t buy them every day.
Moreover, the clothes in the ready-made clothing store may also test the players' psychological quality a bit.
With a muscular build of 1.89 meters, he can wear JK, Lolita, sailor uniforms... Are they really serious?
However, a few pieces were actually sold, and they were all bought by male players. Female players really couldn't afford to be embarrassed.
There are several types of cloth in cloth stores. One is fine spider silk cloth. The finished product is delicate and has no faulty threads. There are many colors to choose from, most of which are light colors.
One is defective spider silk cloth, which is caused by machine failure during weaving. The cloth is very precise, but it is not good in some places.
The other type is defective spider silk cloth, which is basically hand-woven by newbies. It has various problems and is very cheap. However, you cannot choose. Picking one at random is the same, which is a bit of a test of character.
There is also a characteristic coarse cloth woven by the Tanlon people from the veins of leaves. The strength of this kind of leaf veins after being boiled and dried is not much weaker than spider silk cloth. Because of the material problem, it is harder than soft spider silk.
The cloth provides a clear contrast.
There is even one made of spider silk mixed with leaf veins, which is very novel.
When they went out, each of 'Tang Chao Lizi' and 'Princess Meng Yiyi' had an extra roll of cloth in their hands.
Walking further inside, there is an iron shop opened by the "God's Close Disciple". The name of his shop is very unique. The three sound effects of "Dang Dang Dang" are hung at the door, which seems to be the sound coming from inside. In fact, there is no sound inside.
There is no room for blacksmithing.
After entering, there are several rows of specially-made shelves with various weapons placed on them. The most conspicuous one is a pair of maces with sharp wolf teeth, which are actually the fangs of some kind of creature.
In addition, there is a row of half-arm-long daggers next to it, and there are machetes and meteor hammers on the other side...
'Tang Dynasty Lizi' later felt herself pulling on 'Princess Mengyiyi' and said in a very low voice, "Those... seem to be the orders we placed before..."
As a result, because the weapons obtained by the interstellar people were much easier to use than these cold weapons, they did not go to the 'God's closed disciples' to pick up the goods.
'Princess Mengyiyi' also thought of this. The two girls looked at each other and backed away in perfect agreement.
The 'dream swim' was smart enough not to follow it at all.
Not far from the iron shop is the charcoal shop. There are rows of packed charcoal in the shop, and there are several stoves that can be used for trial burning. Over a long period of time, players have also produced several types of charcoal.
Such as fruit charcoal, black charcoal, white charcoal, etc.
