Chapter 9 Black Crow Forest (2)
The game "Fantasy Land" is the only designated "brain wave electricity" related game designed and produced by the Democratic Republic of Donghua and promoted and distributed globally. After the introduction of Sea Lion City, a total of 136 servers were set up, corresponding to the city's 136 super buildings.
The building, at a glance, has been in operation for 256 years and has accompanied countless generations of people through their poor lives.
The simple reason why Geng Jiangyue and his mother met in the same server is that Geng Jiangyue's identity number is still in the place where he originally lived. Therefore, it is thanks to the slow work of the gentlemen in the city hall.
, he can still communicate with his mother in the game for the time being. But in a few days, when his game account is forcibly moved to the server of the building where he is currently located, then every year from now on, he will really be able to communicate with his mother.
I saw my mother only a few times.
This thought made Geng Jiangyue feel a little uncomfortable when he came out of Novice Village.
If we meet, we will definitely quarrel. If we don't meet, we will always worry about my mother not being able to live well alone.
What a contradiction...
"Geng Jiangyue!"
After walking out of Novice Village with his head down sadly, Geng Jiangyue suddenly heard someone calling his name inexplicably.
Looking in the direction from which the sound came, I saw that it was the bastard I met in the cafeteria last night.
Geng Jiangyue looked a little unhappy when he saw Ji Xiaoke.
Creatures like super spirits sometimes come after smelling the negative emotions of human beings. Geng Jiangyue cannot say that his danger last night was directly related to Ji Xiaoke, but at least Ji Xiaoke did make him feel a little unhappy.
That super spirit that almost killed me was imitating the words of Ji Xiaoke last night!
"Hey! I checked your account yesterday, and you are actually still on the server in Building 96! I didn't expect that I am also on the server in Building 96. Do you want me to take you?" The second guy was so enthusiastic that he seemed completely
He forgot about the critical hit Geng Jiangyue gave him last night.
He obviously intends to regain his position.
The bad guy in the game looks much more cool than in reality. Compared to Geng Jiangyue, who wears nothing but armor, not only is he fully equipped, his shoes are even [Bronze Level Equipment].
Ji Xiaoke grinned, obviously very proud of the fact that he was several positions ahead of Geng Jiangyue in the game.
Seeing that Geng Jiangyue didn't speak, he muttered to himself again: "You didn't go to college, did you? If you had known this, you should have learned from me! I took the spiritual power test as soon as I started school in the first year of junior high school. Alas, it's a pity that only
9 o'clock, a little more and you can be a building armed officer
But it’s okay, I can go out to work earlier and earn money earlier. Now I get 15 work points per working hour, which is higher than my girlfriend, hahaha. How long have you been here? I know the mine well, I have
Several apprentices are mining there..."
The idiot kept chattering away, wishing he could show off all his achievements in his life so far.
Although Geng Jiangyue was a little confused as to why this guy, like himself, lived in Building 31 but was using the game server in Building 96, it was not news that the people in the city hall were inefficient and chaotic, so he didn't bother to wonder further. He
He just glanced at the account number directly above the other person's head and confirmed the other person's name again: Ji Xiaoke.
Seeing these three words, Geng Jiangyue finally connected a certain vague face in his memory with the guy in front of him who looked like a mixed race and exuded a strong smell of low.
There is no way. Who made Ji Xiaoke drop out of junior high school after only half a semester? You really can’t blame your father-in-law for his poor memory. And he is far from the only child in the class who only studied for half a semester and left. It’s really not easy.
Remember which one is which...
According to the local law of Haishi City, the first half of the first semester of junior high school is free like that of primary school.
As a city-state, the population of Sea Lion City is not too large, so it is impossible to select talents only from within the upper class forever. The first semester of junior high school is free, which is a way that the management of Sea Lion City has come up with to prevent the complete loss of talents at the bottom.
one.
Because as long as a child has talent and good academic performance, parents will definitely hope that the child can continue to study, preferably directly to graduate with a doctorate, so that their family will be able to live a good life in the future.
Unfortunately, in reality, most children cannot meet the expectations of their parents and society.
After the first semester of the first grade of junior high school, children whose academic performance ranks below 50% of each junior high school will be forced to take a spiritual power test. Then, based on their respective "characters" - those whose spiritual power value is as bad as their academic performance will be selected.
Be honest and work as a game worker, or you may suddenly turn around and be tested to have extraordinary spiritual power, directly enter the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance Army, and become a glorious alliance officer. However, the chance of the latter is worse than buying a lottery ticket.
high.
After the final test results come out, if some parents are still unconvinced and believe that their children still have potential, they can pay for their children to continue studying. As long as you have money and can pass the exam, if you want to go to high school or college,
It doesn't matter if you go to graduate school.
The laws of Sea Lion City will definitely protect the right to education of everyone who can afford the tuition.
But in reality, most parents of children with low academic performance will eventually choose to let their children give up their studies.
After all, there is no hope, money is wasted, and time is wasted.
Very few people are willing to take a gamble on a business that is obviously losing money.
Not to mention, many children with poor academic performance lack the will to continue learning.
In the face of an already cruel fate, he didn't even bother to struggle.
Geng Jiangyue looked at Ji Xiaoke who was too lazy to struggle. He felt disdain and a bit of psychological discomfort left over from last night's alley scare. He didn't want to pay any attention to it. He ignored Ji Xiaoke's obviously malicious enthusiasm and walked straight forward.
Ji Xiaoke still did not give up and chased him: "Where are you going? I will take you with me. I have been walking around Xinshou Village for more than three years and I know everyone. I know there is a safe place to collect herbs."
In this place, you can die once every half an hour at most..."
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of this guy, Geng Jiangyue naturally couldn't let him show off in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "No, it's the same with or without you when I encounter wild monsters. If I die, you will die as well, Hot Spring
There is no need to exchange opinions.”
"Am I going to die? I..." Ji Xiaoke was struck by Geng Jiangyue's words and subconsciously wanted to refute.
However, he seemed to have learned something over the years, and he was able to endure the humiliation from the newcomer and forcefully change the subject again: "Geng Jiangyue, don't be embarrassed! I debuted three years earlier than you.
I tell you, learn
Those things taught in school are not needed in the game, you still have to have someone to take you with you. Look at you, you are so tattered, you will be gone if you are touched by a wild monster. You go back and forth to death every day.
It would be a waste of time to go back to Novice Village and then run out.
Let me tell you, I don’t have to mine mines or mine medicine myself now. I buy them from others. Do you know why? Because I learned a skill in the first year of playing this game, and some people from high-level servers came to play across servers.
, I repair the equipment for them. When there are many, I can earn dozens of dollars a day, including alliance coins!"
Geng Jiangyue chuckled, not even bothering to answer the question.
The skill Ji Xiaoke learned was obviously a blacksmith's repair, and in Geng Jiangyue's eyes, there was really nothing unusual about it.
Lao Geng's skill in the game back then was [Forging]. Not to mention repairing equipment, he could even directly forge weapons with spiritual damage. He sold two weapons part-time every week, and his extra income was stable at around 50 yuan a week.
If it hadn't been for that incident, I don't know how luxuriant my mother's life would be now.
So my mother said that my father had spent all his money a long time ago, but in fact Geng Jiangyue knew that the money in his mother's hand was enough for him to study in college for at least three years. Now that there is no hope of college, the money is probably left for him to be his wife.
This is it...
In the past two months, my mother has arranged several blind dates for him, and some of the intentions are not too obvious.
However, my father-in-law indulges in unbridled love for freedom and is opposed to the Guangming Cult. Otherwise, where would it be for someone like Ji Xiaoke to show off his "girlfriend" in front of him? He comes from a poor family. If he had money, he would have gotten married long ago. What a waste to his friends.
!
"Oh, that's amazing. You have a girlfriend?" Geng Jiangyue didn't answer the question about the blacksmith's skills at all, and directly insulted Ji Xiaoke to his core with another sentence, "You are so awesome, have you saved up enough money for a wife? When are you going to get married?"
Ji Xiaoke was indeed questioned by Geng Jiangyue.
Seeing his deflated expression, Geng Jiangyue chuckled and then stopped.
In front of him were three forked roads.
The one on the left leads to the Wild Wolf Valley for collecting herbs, and the one on the right leads to the Poisonous Spider Cave for mining.
The one in the middle is the only way to the "Novice City", the Black Crow Forest.
In addition to mining and collecting herbs, Geng Jiangyue recently discovered a way to get rich - collecting black crow feathers.
The process is cheap, but the benefits are pretty good.
The 5% cold-resistant cloth armor he wears is made from bird feathers...
"Where are you going? Mining or collecting medicine?" Ji Xiaoke pretended to be stupid and skipped the question.
Geng Jiangyue did not answer and walked towards the middle in silence.
Ji Xiaoke was stunned again when he saw this. He hesitated for a few seconds as he looked at Geng Jiangyue's retreating figure, but still did not dare to follow him. He just stood there and said to himself loudly: "I'd better go back to the spring and wait for you.
