This Game is Too Real

At noon.

Linghu Wetland Park.

Because of the blizzard last night, a piece of silver-clad plain was seen in the pine forest, and the white snow was dazzling in the sunlight at noon.

Carrying a hemp rope on his left shoulder and a hunting bow on his right shoulder, the young man took a breath of white mist and looked up at the south gate of the park.

The twisted steel bars are covered with ice cones, and at the highest point is a table-wide wooden board with a series of numbers engraved on it.

"404."

Staring at the wooden sign for a while, Yu Hu read the number in a low voice.

This is how old Charlie taught them, and it's also a habit he has only recently developed.

As long as it is a word that you see on the road, you can read it out in a low voice, silently several strokes in your heart.

If you recognize it a lot, you will be familiar with it naturally.

This method works well. Recently, he has learned to write the names of himself, Xiaoyu, father and mother, brother and sister-in-law, as well as basic numbers and addition and subtraction.

If it were placed a few months ago, this skill would have been regarded as a cultural man on Beit Street.

But now, it's average.

Recently, the learning enthusiasm in the town is outrageous, especially the young guys. Since everyone from Li Niu heard about the treatment of the new industrial zone, they have all become regular visitors to the literacy class and want to live in it.

Of course, this may also be partly because the castle is relatively warm, and I don’t want to leave once I have been there.

The most dangerous road has passed.

Resting for a while at the gate of the park, Yu Hu tightened the rope on his shoulders and continued to walk forward on the snow that hadn't reached his knees.

Wandering through the snow with prey is not an easy task, but for experienced hunters, this problem does not exist.

He made a raft with wooden boards, tied the mutant wild boar he hit on it, and dragged it away with a rope.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the prey being stuck in the snow and freezing, it is much easier and much safer than dragging the prey directly.

Just be careful not to take unfamiliar roads. Basically, the problem is not big.

Through the woods of several hundred meters, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Rows of wooden piles piled with snow stood on the open ground outside the trenches. The fence and the south gate of the outpost were in front of them, the houses built by the blue coats, and then the house of Brother Chu.

Compared to a month ago, the changes here are simply too great.

The tall chimney behind the wall, and the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong, disappeared along with the tree outside the wall.

Instead, there are houses with unique styles, straight streets paved with stone and bricks, more and more people, and more and more abundant things on the stalls.

Yu Hu doesn't have much culture, and only recently learned to recognize a few words, and came up with beautiful words to describe these houses. I just find it strange and beautiful.

Some eaves are upturned, brick and wood mix and match, square, majestic and majestic. Some of the whole is a cylinder, built of stone and bricks, formidable and mysterious.

Although the styles are different, these houses are neat and uniform, and none of them surpasses the roof of the sanatorium in the center of the settlement.

Yu Hu didn't know what those houses were used for. He only recognized the warehouse and the small wooden house with a plaque wrapped in rattan and elegant and unique decoration.

He bought clothes there once, and also bought two meters of cloth for the family. It seems that his sister's scarves are also made there.

Occasionally I hit some beautiful prey, Yu Hu would ask here first. The shopkeeper who looked like a child would pay slightly more than the warehouse not far away.

Anyway, according to Big Brother Chu, as long as you bring things here to trade, you can help him, and Yu Hu doesn't care who he sells to.

But the wild boar still forget it.

Yu Hu felt that the little cute shopkeeper shouldn't need this kind of rough leather, so he dragged the wild boar directly to the warehouse.

The rope was at the door, and when he was about to ask the steward to help weigh the prey, he suddenly saw a familiar face from behind the wooden table.

The man saw him, and his eyebrows were instantly happy.

"Yu Hu?"

"Zhao Shu?" Yu Hu looked at him in surprise, "Aren't you in the brick factory?"

While speaking, Yu Hu glanced up and down at the fur coat worn by the fellow, with a trace of envy on his face.

This guy has a good life.

They all changed into new clothes!

Seeing the surprised expression on the fellow's face, Zhao Shu chuckled, and said with great air.

"Recently, the base has undergone a large-scale construction work, and the warehouses and dormitories are being expanded, and there is a shortage of manpower. I think the salary is good, so I voluntarily asked to be transferred from the brick factory!"

In fact, he originally didn't want to come over.

Although the brick factory earns a few silver coins less, it is warm like spring, and there are always people with stories on their faces being sent in to work.

Those old buddies are all talents, they speak nicely, and they are especially bragging.

Speaking means thinking about that year, and closing your mouth means a long story. Asked where he came from, either the mercenary from the hesitation swamp, or the commander from the far west...Anyway, they were all places he hadn't heard of before.

Zhao Shu has never left Qingquan City in his entire life, and has been to the dungeon of the Bloodhand clan as far as he can. He vaguely remembers that the head of the Bloodhand clan seems to be called a centurion?

At his peak, the bear-like man, who was probably a hundred or so men under him, was arrogant in the northern outskirts of Qingquan City, and did everything.

But what's the use?

In the end, he was served by the blue coats. Now I am working in the mines of Honghe Town, and I don't know if I'm still alive.

So... the commander of the thousand is also in charge of the thousand people?

This is not nonsense!

Zhao Shu thought about it, all the people he had seen in his life might not add up to a thousand! It is a headache for him to remember dozens of people's names. If you really care about so many people, can you remember who they are?

In short, Niu Ma Brick Factory is a good place, even if you don't believe the nonsense of those old buddies at all, Zhao Shu always listens to them.

If it weren't for the plan to move his family here from Beit Street in the spring of next year, and take advantage of the expansion of the base to the north to buy a house or something, he would really like to stay in that good place like summer all his life.

It's paradise there.

"...Don't talk about me, how is your place? Is the impact of the snowstorm not big? Also, how is my house?" After talking about his situation, Zhao Shu immediately asked Yu Hu about the family. .

The blizzard last night blew away another roof, thinking of the shack at home, he didn't sleep well all night.

"Our place is very good. Your father asked me to give you a message yesterday, saying that you don't worry about your home and take care of yourself..." The greetings that Father Zhao Shu asked himself to bring, Yu Hu and this fellow Continue to talk about the recent situation of Beit Street.

Although this winter was colder than everyone expected, and the blizzard made people tremble, but thanks to the help of those blue coats, they had lived in a uniform brick-wood house early on, and the disaster situation was on the contrary. Not as serious as last year.

If it were the old shack, it would be hard to tell, it is estimated that many people will die.

In the most difficult days, Old Charlie let the poor people whose houses were blown down by the snowstorm to live in the former mayor’s castle, and at the same time arranged for manpower to repair the damaged houses.

Under the organization of the neighborhood office, everyone was united in the face of difficulties.

Facts have proved that without the rule of the old mayor, they would only have a better life.

After listening to Yu Hu's description, Zhao Shu's face was full of emotion.

"This is hard to imagine in previous years."

Yu Hu nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

When the old mayor's family were still there, they had to do their best to survive, how could it be as comfortable as they are now.

Not to mention opening the castle gate to let the victims in.

Even when the victims gather together to save themselves, he will send those dogs who only dare to bully his own people to drive away those who gather together.

"Speaking of which, Yu Hu."

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Shu hesitated for a while and said.

"Why don't you come here too!"

Zhao Shu continued to persuade Yu Hu to speak.

"The life here is far more than the number of Beit Street, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. You have such a good hunting skill, you can definitely find something to do here! It's definitely better than me!"

To be honest, seeing the changes here, Yu Hu is indeed a little moved.

He didn't have a family anyway, and he seldom opened his mouth to eat when he moved out.

But after thinking about it, he finally shook his head.

"...Forget it."

Zhao Shu was taken aback, obviously he did not expect that he would refuse, and hurriedly asked.

"why?"

Yu Hu said straightforwardly.

"You said, I just have some hunting skills. This horrible weather can't help at all. I may not be able to catch a prey in a few weeks. Instead of coming here to cause trouble for you, it is better to stay at home and learn more. Braille, maybe it will come in handy."

What kind of reason is this?

After hearing what Yu Hu said, Zhao Shu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Hey, the granary next to you is almost full. Can someone miss you a bite of food? Also, you don't have to be on Bette Street to learn Chinese. The factory here has night schools like the guards!"

"That won't work," Yu Hu said stubbornly, "Big Brother Chu has helped our family so much, how can I take advantage of him!"

Seeing that this guy was stubborn like a stone, Zhao Shu shook his head and sighed.

"You guy... Forget it, I can't persuade you."

Yu Hu touched the back of his head and said with a smile.

"You don't need to persuade me, I know it in my heart. Besides, Brother Chu said, let me come next spring, he will find something for me to do, and I will come again when that happens!"

Brother Chu is such a smart person, he must have arranged everything a long time ago.

There is definitely nothing wrong with doing what he says!

The two were not talking about moving. With Zhao Shu's help, Yu Hu weighed the mutant wild boar and quickly sent it to the slaughter house.

Standing in front of the chopping board with a slaughter knife in the blue jacket, he skillfully cramped and peeled the skin to get the meat. The bones and sewage were thrown in the bucket. The action was dazzling and dazzling.

Now the price of prey is much higher than before. The purchase price of mutant wild boar skin has risen from 10 silver coins to 20 silver coins. If it is replaced with coarse salt, it will be a full 400 grams!

If you change to the previous one, although the price of salt is cheaper, you can change up to 300 grams of coarse salt.

The price of meat is also the same. The prices of the things sold here have almost doubled, but the price of the prey has also risen with the tide, and the impact on him is not great.

There are more things that can be exchanged for prey, which is a good thing.

The hides are put into storage, and a tanner will pick it up in a while. The raw meat was divided into two portions, the larger portion belonged to Yu Hu, and the smaller portion was paid for the slaughter, and returned to the base warehouse as agreed.

Zhao Shu turned out the ledger, made a mark on it, and then carefully counted out 20 silver coins from the drawer and arranged them on the table.

"This is 20 silver, you have to collect it."

Looking at the silver coin on the table, Yu Hu picked up one and looked at it, weighing it in his palm, and asked curiously.

"How did this silver coin change its style?"

It's a lot heavier than before, and it looks newer.

Zhao Shu explained.

"The manager said that the coin used to be inconvenient, and this new silver coin will be used in the future."

Although he couldn't tell where it was inconvenient, this is what the manager gave.

"Then how do you adjust the original silver coins?" Yu Hu remembers that there are still some at home. If they are not available anymore, he has to quickly ask his brother to replace them with salt.

Anticipating that he would ask this, Zhao Shu waved his hand and responded expertly.

"It's okay, the manager said, whether it's the new currency or the old currency, the warehouse and bank will accept all orders, but when looking for money, I don't look for it anymore."

Seeing that it had no effect on the family, Yu Hu relaxed and put the silver coins on the table into his pocket.

Looking at Yu Hu who was packing up his things, Zhao Shu asked.

"Are you going straight back in a while?"

Yu Hu said.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll go see the little girl later. Do you have anything you want me to bring back for you? I can take a ride for you on the way."

Zhao Shu continued.

"No, our salary is settled on a monthly basis...or else, please help me and my family bring a sentence, let my father and mother pay attention to the health, wait another two weeks, I will take a vacation here, I Take the time to go home and have a look."

Yu Hu nodded.

"Okay, I will bring the words for you."

After receiving this promise, Zhao Shu showed a comfortable smile on his face.

"Thanks!"

At this moment, a few residents of the shelter came not far away and pointed to the shelf and said something.

The voice was excited like a quarrel.

"Pepper, I want pepper!"

"I also want!"

"Gan! Don't jump in line, I'm here first!"

Seeing the elf Wang Fugui who was in the forefront, Ye Shi couldn't help but snorted.

"What is the use of pepper if you are a hunter?"

Brother Fugui rolled his eyes and said with confidence.

"You can control it! Hunters are not allowed to be cooks?"

How could he miss this opportunity to enter the Hall of Fame!

Although he can't cook at all, it doesn't matter!

Isn’t it enough to cook?

The seasoning is in place, but worry that it won't taste good?

So the key is to grab the seasoning!

Zhao Shu glanced down at VM, skillfully removed the last two bags of pepper from the shelf, handed it to the person in front of the station, and said in a non-standard pronunciation.

"This is the last, no more."

Hearing this sentence, the next few people dispersed with disappointment in an instant.

Only the blue jacket who had bought something looked happy. After saying "thank you", he generously took out the VM and paid the money, and walked away in a hurry.

Watching the distant back, Yu Hu asked curiously.

"What did he buy just now? Salt?"

"It's'pepper', a kind of seasoning, it tastes weird, anyway, I don't like it very much." Zhao Shu paused when he said that, and then added, "Unless it is sprinkled on the barbecue."

Barbecue.

Yu Hu swallowed unconsciously and thought of the barbecue stall at the north gate.

The food sold there is absolutely delicious!

When looking toward the north gate, Yu Hu suddenly noticed that there was something different from the past. A lot of blue coats ran around there, some from the granary, some carrying things to the granary, and some people moving some wooden tables and sheds from the woodworking hut.

Usually there will be more people there in the evening, so why is it so busy at noon today?

"What's the situation over there?" Yu Hu felt that he was more curious today than in the past week combined.

Zhao Shu said with a smile.

"You said there, there will be a celebration in a week!"

"Celebration?!" Yu Hu looked at Zhao Shu in surprise, "Is anyone getting married?"

If the celebration is held a week in advance, it must be a very high-ranking person.

Could it be...

Is it Brother Chu? !

"What kind of marriage, it's called... New Year's Day!" Zhao Shu is not very familiar with the pronunciation of that word, and after holding back for a while, he remembered, "Those inhabitants of the shelter plan to celebrate the arrival of the new year, the last day of the year. And the first day seems to be a very important holiday for them. I don’t know the details, anyway, it’s something like a celebration."

Yu Hu did know the celebration.

For example, the last time the old town mayor’s youngest son gave them a croissant just when the moon was full, and called them to go to the castle to do a long time for nothing.

Except for the old mayor and his dogs, no one is happy.

but……

Celebrating the New Year, this kind of thing, for the first time he heard about this new thing, still made him curious.

Seeing through the expression on Yu Hu's face, Zhao Shu said with a smile.

"It's not the busiest time yet. Wait for the last night of December. If you have time, you can come over and take a look."

"I bet it must be a lively batch!"

Yu Hu nodded vigorously and said with interest.

"Yeah! Then I can remember... But at night, it's not convenient to go back, right?"

"What are you going back? I will live here then," Zhao Shu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I have enough space in the dormitory, so I must be able to sleep well!"

...

The north gate of the outpost.

It's very lively right now.

The players showed their magical powers, either busy arranging booths or boiling something in a cauldron. The entire north gate was filled with a peculiar smell, and even the north wind passing through the forest could not blow away.

The cat blinked curiously at Qiuye next to her sister.

She had never seen such a lively scene.

"Night badger! Flathead brother in the wasteland! Does anyone want it? I just caught it from outside the Changjiu Farm! If you want it, you can bring it at your own price. If you want to buy it as soon as possible."

"Sweeping the building on 76th Street, are there any brothers in the car? I heard that there is a hyena den there."

"The three-person team waits for a perception system, and so can newcomers."

"Lao Na, what did you throw into the pot just now?!"

"Boss Crow! Help the tail to see if this is poisonous!"

"Help me also Kangkang!"

"Hey!! Just put it on the table, don't stuff ducks in my mouth!" The screams of crows echoed on the mushroom beach, causing the guards to look over there, and they walked away when they saw nothing.

The bazaar is not far away.

The elf Wang Fugui shook the two bags of pepper in his hands towards Ye Shi, and walked triumphantly in the direction of his teammates. Brother Mole and Irena were waiting for him.

With a kick of this guy's back, Ye Shi scolded and walked to the side of his teammates.

"Gan! I didn't buy the seasoning! The peppers are outrageous when they are all sold out!"

When have these people been so rich!

1 silver and 1g pepper, I bought two packs in one shot, it's too much!

Old Bai comforted him.

"It's okay, just don't buy it. Anyway, it may not be necessary in the end."

The wind also said.

"Well, we still try to use some simple materials as much as possible. I feel that the probability of winning the game will be higher."

The seasoning will be sold out, but it is also expected by the wind.

After all, the rewards of the event are not only the annual limited title, but also enter the Hall of Fame.

It will be as fierce as a competition, it can only be said that it is reasonable and everyone wants to be the first, after all, it is there.

If no one is involved, Gale will have to doubt whether he is playing the national server.

At this moment, a crack claw crab was lying next to them.

The adorable new people passing by, all looked sideways involuntarily, and could not help cursing the hateful European in their envy.

This winter, the road was buried, and the cleft-claw crab's nest could be found.

Isn't it the emperor?

Carrying a bag of flour from the north gate, Zhang Hai saw the big crab, his eyes protruding.

He stepped forward and took a look, he couldn't help asking.

"Where did you get such a big crab?"

Ye Shi didn't hide it, pretending to be coerced lazily.

"There is a hole on the shore of Lake Linghu, and there is a hibernating crack-claw crab in it. When we saw that he was sleeping, we found a chance to give him a tube of face."

Although it took some money, it was worth it.

Zhang Hai cursed and said: "Mum Pi! Why do you always find such good things?"

Seeing his envy, jealousy and hatred, Ye Shi smiled.

"Maybe it's luck?"

Zhang Hai: "#%@!"

Fang Chang stood with tomato scrambled eggs, staring at the cracked claw crab on the ground and discussing cooking methods.

One is super good at eating, the other can do it, and they stand together, which is a strange combination.

"I carefully studied the event announcement. The requirement above is ‘simple and delicious’. We have to use as many readily available ingredients as possible, so that the probability of winning should be higher."

The tomato scrambled eggs shook his head.

"This request is too abstract."

Fang Chang said thoughtfully.

"Indeed, and how to preserve the crab meat is a problem."

Even in winter, it is difficult to store crab meat from crab hunting until the third day, and by the fourth day, even if the meat does not deteriorate, the taste will be much worse due to dehydration.

And now there are 7 full days before New Year's Day!

It was purely accidental to be able to find this claw crab, and he was not confident that he could find another one.

The tomato scrambled eggs touched his chin and suddenly said.

"Preserving crab meat... I have some thoughts on this."

Fang Chang looked at him.

"Oh?"

The tomato scrambled eggs continued.

"I have observed the workers in the brick factory before. They will pick up some grass from the lake to dispose of the fish that has not been eaten, so that it can be kept fresh even if it is kept until the second and third days. I don't know what to do with crab meat. Does it work, but I feel like I can give it a try."

Fang Chang had never heard of such a strange plant.

"What grass?"

Said scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"It's called Buffalo Grass in the illustrated book on the official website, but the specific effect is not stated."

Fang Chang immediately asked the most critical question.

"Can you find it in winter?"

The tomato scrambled eggs shook his head and said.

"That's not clear, but after I found out about it, I picked a lot out of curiosity and put it in the locker to study it slowly, but it never came in handy."

Hearing these words, Fang Chang was instantly excited, and said excitedly.

"Good brother! Here comes the opportunity to come in handy!"

The tomato scrambled eggs scratched the back of his head.

"But even if the problem of preserving crab meat is solved...what shall we make of it? Can't it be grilled over charcoal fire?"

Although it’s not bad~www.wuxiamtl.com~, it’s too lack of technical content. It is still a bit difficult to win.

"This is easy to say," Fang Chang continued with a confident smile on his face, "I just noticed that the warehouse's restrictions on the sale of green wheat and croissants have been temporarily lifted."

The scrambled eggs with tomatoes froze for a while, but didn't understand.

"What do you mean..."

"Obviously, the label of'cheap and delicious' lies in these two things! Why else is the sale restriction lifted at this point in time?"

Fang Chang looked at Brother Scrambled Egg with piercing eyes and continued.

"Brother, have you heard of crab cakes?"-

(The number of words and content in the next chapter are a bit too much. The Handicapped Party will never stand up anymore. In short, I try to get it out at 11 o'clock. If it doesn't come out at 11 o'clock, it will probably be twelve o'clock. QAQ)
