When I asked you to successfully sneak into the palace according to the mission instructions, you didn't realize that something was wrong.
With the experience of being imprisoned, I did not try to force my way in or sneak into the imperial city this time.
After being carried several times by the tall and powerful guard, he already knew that his strength was useless here.
So... let's just follow the rules honestly.
Players have been trained by professional instructors to become qualified entry-level bricklayers and masons. It is the right time to improve professional skill proficiency through a lot of practice. The mysterious city finally opened its gates and allowed players to enter.
In the past, there were many weeds and wild trees on the outskirts of the city. When the players heard that the imperial city was in ruins, they had imagined it to be a ruin. They never imagined that the city was far more prosperous than they imagined.
The buildings in the city are not exquisite or gorgeous, but have a sense of simplicity and heaviness.
The streets are flat and wide with bluestone and black tiles. Some restaurants and shops have their signs hanging outside. There are also confiscated cart stalls on the street. If it weren't for the lack of pedestrians on the street, this city would really not look like a fireworks show.
Come on, the players never imagined that this was an empty city.
"The mission prompt says that the emperor invited us to go into the city to repair the house. Why is there no one in the city?"
None of the mentor NPCs who had hurt them before spoke at this time. They just led a team of people, pointed at the places to be repaired, and then stood silently aside, as if supervising the work, but their eyes were elsewhere.
.
Why is there no one in such a big city?
Su Xianyu looked at the dilapidated buildings in the imperial city through the eyes of the spirit puppet.
The damage is not obvious, but it makes the deserted country even more deserted.
A broken tile on the eaves, a half-collapsed courtyard wall, wooden furniture that has been exposed to wind, rain, and sun as time passes, and thick moss-covered street corners and alleys... all tell the story that they have been
Forgotten for too long.
If you don't think about it, you won't have a concept of time.
Once he deliberately recalled it, Su Xianyu could find relevant records from the handwritten letters of successive emperors piled high in the study.
How many people left Lin in a certain month in a certain year.
At a certain time on the last day of a certain year, a certain month, the last citizen of the Lin Kingdom rested underground.
As members of the royal family, their lifespans are no longer than anyone else's. The emperor must also fulfill the responsibility of recording important events in the country and write down everything that should be recorded.
In the end, Lin's royal family witnessed the decline of their country.
It only takes a moment for the building to collapse, but the process of Lin's decline is too long.
Su Xianyu lowered his eyes and looked at the players in the spirit puppet's field of vision who were happily doing hard work and busy. For the first time, he felt that it would be a good idea to keep these players.
At least once they arrived, the capital seemed to be alive again.
The Imperial City will return to its former prosperity at some point in the future.
Or maybe it's even more prosperous than before.
The corner of his clothes was gently pulled. Su Xianyu lowered his head to look at the cub with soft and pinchable cheeks, and pinched Yan Yan's cheeks with his hand.
"Do the fish in the pond look good?"
"It looks good." Yan Yan replied seriously.
"What about the fish in the big tank?"
"tasty."
Hmm? Delicious?
So it’s not about looking at the fish, but looking at the fish to satisfy their cravings?
Su Xianyu laughed, and was about to reach out and touch Yan Yan's head, when he remembered that he had heard rumors that children who were touched on their heads would be less likely to grow taller in the future, so he took his hand back.
She looked at the little cub in front of her and her heart was full of love.
I like her eyebrows, the flesh on her cheeks, her short arms and legs, and her milky voice.
Why do you like cubs so much?
Perhaps there are regrets left by the emperors of the past dynasties.
Lin has not had a newborn baby for a long time. Seeing such a small cub appearing in the imperial city is like a dead tree sprouting new buds, and a young flower blooming on a dead vine, representing new life and hope.
.
As the incarnation of the national destiny, Yan Yan became the person closest to Su Xianyu after Su Xianyu was bound to the infrastructure system.
"Yan Yan, when will you grow up?"
When will Lin Kingdom become stronger?
[Player [Please Enter the Urn] has successfully sneaked into the palace. 】
[When Lin's three-year infrastructure construction and five-year prosperity plan is successfully completed, the incarnation of the national destiny will turn into an adult form.] The infrastructure system quietly appeared, reminding and answering questions on its behalf.
Su Xianyu came to his senses, poured himself a cup of tea, and waited for some not-so-smart player to fall into his trap.
[Thief] This profession is real and is a bit more special than other major professions.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the four people, the pillars of the country.
If distinguished by cultivation techniques, many professions can be distinguished.
[Thief] is one of them.
He likes gold and silver treasures, does not like to take ordinary roads, and enjoys stealing things that others value. He moves very fast, can hide his body and cover up his aura, uses special weapons, and will attack the target neatly when he needs to launch an attack.
's life.
Su Xianyu's choice of inviting you to enter the jar was not a whim, but she saw the process of inviting you to enter the jar and using her telekinesis to open the lock through the eyes of the spiritual puppet guard.
Psychokinesis is a special ability, and few people can master this ability and use it freely.
She selected this player just to see if the "miracle" that disappeared with the end of that era could reappear in this era of waste and waiting for a new era.
Please enter the urn and roll into the water pavilion. When you look up, you only see Yan Yan lying on the guardrail wearing a small dragon robe.
Could it be said that Emperor Lin is this cub?
There are only three question marks on the cub's head, no rank, no identity hint.
"Child, are you the emperor?"
Even though many civilizations in the interstellar alliance hated the existence of inviting you into a urn, he still respected life.
In the eyes of an unlucky guy like him, who has experienced the family's transition from prosperity to decline and was left alone, the cubs are the ones who need to be taken care of the most.
Without cubs, no matter how strong a family is, it will come to an end.
Yan Yan turned around to look at him and walked to the side farther away from him.
Please enter the urn and follow the movement of the cub, and you will see a golden skirt.
The little cub was pulling on a corner of his skirt and raising his head as if looking at someone.
Is there anyone else here?
The tall, thin young man, who was holding his body steady with his hands on the ground, raised his head in surprise and saw the identification mark above the other person's head.
【LV???Emperor of Lin Kingdom】
The emperor of Lin is a woman?
"You're here." Su Xianyu lowered his eyes and looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and said calmly: "You are not a citizen of my country, so you don't need to kneel down."
What kind of kneeling ceremony?! Please enter the urn. I finally noticed that my posture was wrong and jumped up.
And because my feet were a little soft, my feet folded when they landed on the ground, and I immediately knelt down and bowed to the ground.
There was a loud sound when his knees hit the jade stone on the floor.
You can tell it hurts as soon as you hear it.
"By doing this great ceremony of kneeling down and worshiping me, are you asking for something from me?"
Please enter the urn. His face changed again and again, like a palette, and finally he said angrily: "Your Majesty wants me to go back to jail and just let the guards catch me."
He didn't recognize it at first, but after hearing the voice of the Emperor of Lin Kingdom, he immediately confronted Su Xianyu with the woman who had convicted him and sent him to the dungeon that day.
At that time, there was no concept of converting contribution points into experience points. Players had no levels, the level system was not enabled, and the level and identity of NPCs were not visible.
Under the veil, Su Xianyu tried her best to lower the corners of her lips, and looked at Qingjun lying in the urn on the ground. His whole body was filled with anger, shock and destruction. I was tired and let go of my emotions on the spot.
He's quite an interesting person.
"Get up, what are you doing lying on the ground?"
Please enter the urn and get up stubbornly.
Knee pain and ankle pain are secondary, but the most painful thing is the face.
As someone with the blood of thieves, I was a bit proud to have you enter the urn. He sacrificed so much face to get in, and his pride was smashed into the ground by him, and he couldn't even dig it out.
On the player panel, a prompt that the job transfer task was completed popped up.
Not a trap?
Please enter the urn. The originally mournful expression on his face was frozen, showing a little doubt, a little confusion, and a third disbelief.
"I have a thief's inheritance here that I can give to you." Su Xianyu chuckled.
"You said the one you have is the Thief's Heritage, is that the Thief's Heritage?" I am still a direct bloodline of the Thief, and I don't even have the complete version of the Thief's Heritage in my hand.
How can an NPC in a game be so good at deceiving people?
With these words on his lips, his expression betrayed his true thoughts.
He was very tempted by what Su Xianyu said about the inheritance of thieves.
Another thing is that the thief has keen perception and high vigilance. He can feel that "The Other Side" is different from other holographic games.
His telekinesis will not work on the star network, because the main brain will directly capture the abnormal fluctuations in data and expel him to the recycling area where garbage data is stored.
I finally escaped from that hellish place, but I can't be sent back in again.
The recycling area was dark, darker than the prison.
At least he still has a term in jail and can wait until he is released.
He was thrown into the recycling area and could only live in darkness until his mental power dissipated and everything ended.
A proud thief will never allow himself to be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
Even if you die, you have to keep trying to escape.
Su Xianyu handed over a thin book and asked Jun to take it subconsciously. When he opened it, a system prompt popped up.
[Player [Please Enter the Urn] has learned the professional-specific skill [Stealth]]
[Player [Please Enter the Urn] has learned the professional-specific skill [Stealing]]
[Player [Please Enter the Urn] has learned the professional-specific skill [Backstab]]
[Player [Please Enter the Urn] has learned the professional-specific skill [Escape]]
…
A series of prompts popped up, asking you to feel the extra skills in your head. Your subconscious told him that this was the true inheritance of thieves.
"In exchange, I need you to do things for Lin Guo in the future."
The word "exchange" was something that Qing Jun Ru Urg only learned today. Su Xianyu proposed the exchange, and Qing Jun Ru Urn breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past, he preferred to take things without asking or asking for them. Anyway, he would not think about whether to ask for the consent of the original owner of the things he liked.
He also has no concept of paying for it.
Now, he was extremely happy that he could obtain the coveted thieves inheritance through exchange, and even felt that the emperor of Lin Kingdom had suffered a loss.
Any guard in the palace would be much stronger than him.
If there was something he needed to do, it would be better to leave it to the palace guards directly.
He has already taken advantage of it first. If he simply stops logging into "The Other Side" or doesn't obey her orders, or if he simply cannot master these skills and can't use them for her, the three possibilities are extremely high.
He himself didn't believe he could do anything for this mysterious emperor.
He only felt that what the emperor was doing was a complete loss-making business.
There is no moral sense in asking you to enter the jar. He just thought about other things briefly and quickly stuffed the book into his clothes.
Su Xianyu moved his eyes away and called the guards over.
The feeling of being picked up by the collar is too familiar. Please enter the urn and look blankly at the emperor who is drinking tea from the cup.
"Invade the palace privately and disrespect the emperor. According to the laws of Lin Kingdom, you will be sentenced to one month in prison."
Every time a new person enters the dungeon, the lights on the walls of the cells on both sides will light up.
When the lights came on and the coriander expertly laughed and joked with the audience in the live broadcast room, guessing which unlucky guy the newcomer would be this time, several barrages passed by in the live broadcast room.
【I guess it’s a return visit to the old place.】
[On the first day the inmate was released from prison, I missed him.]
"I hope the brother opposite will come back soon."
"I'm not used to it when I see an empty cell in the opposite cell." Xiangxiangcai sighed.
It was obvious that two people came in together and asked you to go out, leaving him alone. It was really pitiful and miserable.
With the friendly wishes of Xiang Xiancai and the audience in his live broadcast room, the cell opposite opened, and the tall guard sent the familiar inmate back to the cell where he had been squatting for ten days.
"Is this - the wish was successful?" Cold coriander was shocked.
He only knew that Qingjunwengweng would probably come back, but he didn't expect that Qingjunwengweng would be released from prison at noon and return in the afternoon.
"Brother opposite, this is...the cell is his home, and he doesn't want to leave it?"
You can't live in a prison cell as your own home.
It has only been more than ten days since the first closed beta of "The Other Shore", and the two of them have been squatting in the dungeon for more than ten days.
He was almost tired of squatting.
In the days when unruly players who insist on violating the rules of the player's handbook are all sitting in dungeons, the progress of the renovation of the Imperial City of Lin Kingdom above ground is very gratifying.
The damaged city wall was built solidly.
The mottled walls were repainted and the roof tiles were replaced with new ones.
The signs of restaurants and other shops were taken down and cleaned inside and out, waiting for new businesses to move in.
The moss on the road was cleared, and players followed suit and made many carts for the stalls, which were filled with items they collected or made.
The road leading outside the city is also carefully paved, all the way to the wild forest where the player lived before.
After discussion and testing, the players cut down most of the wild forest near the city wall, obtained a lot of wood, and built a large number of habitable wooden houses, earning an additional amount of mission contribution points.
Watching the mission progress being filled up little by little, the player feels a sense of belonging in the imperial city of Lin Kingdom.
The entire imperial city has a new look, and players are wandering around the streets, trying to find a broken bluestone to replace it to earn mission contribution points.
The players who joined Ling's Chamber of Commerce and became merchants started selling at their stalls in a decent manner. The players laughed and made noise, and also selected from various stalls to buy one or two items that they could use or make.
It's a pretty neat gadget.
When Su Xianyu received the thousand national fortune points that were automatically issued upon completion of the infrastructure construction task, the infrastructure system congratulated her.
[Congratulations to LV1 Linguo Emperor Su Xianyu for completing the initial goals of Linguo's "Five Years of Infrastructure and Three Years of Prosperity" infrastructure plan. The incarnation of the national destiny will enter a three-day dormancy period. 】
At the same time, the official blog of "The Other Side" released a new star blog.
[The Other Shore - Official of the epoch-making holographic game: Thank you to all beta testers for your joint efforts to repair the imperial city. "The Other Shore" will be updated at 10 o'clock tonight. This update is expected to take three days. After the update is completed, this large-scale
The rewards for the top 100 players in the task ranking will be distributed personally by the camp leader, so stay tuned.]
