Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 818 So... what is the price?

[Tell a story to Miss Chen Jiaer] The plot is not meaningless.

Because it leads to the [Wenhui] gameplay, and at the same time, Chen Erniang will also show you the "Wulin Cheats" she has collected out of her personal preference.

Of course not all of them are true, more precisely: basically all of them are false.

A shelf of books is basically full of martial arts novels and fake martial arts cheats.

But as long as you are patient and touch all the spines, the system will remind you that three of the books are indeed genuine "martial arts secret books".

They are [Bamen Golden Lock Knife], which can be used to get started with swordsmanship, [Flying on the Grass], which is a lightness skill with special speed effects, and [Shaolin Iron Fan Kungfu], which is used to get started with the strange weapon [Iron Fan].

However, players can only choose one of the three.

Unless the second lady is made happy someday—or the intimacy is reached, the player will be allowed to choose again and get the second book.

What's even better: Second Miss will continue to buy similar books because she likes martial arts and martial arts, so there is still a chance that there will be new martial arts cheats on this bookshelf.

In other words, as long as you maintain a good relationship with the second lady, you will be able to obtain a steady stream of martial arts secret books.

The same is true of [Jiaofang Siqi case].

Contact more NPCs, more triggerable branch lines not to mention.

In this case alone, there are two kinds of weapons, the [stick] and the [gun], for the introductory martial arts, as well as a special jade pendant that can predict fortune and danger.

When there are treasures around or the strength of the enemy is too high, this jade pendant will vibrate by itself to remind the player.

By the way, there is also a rare character in the nature of an easter egg buried in the Jiaofang Division, waiting for players to discover it.

The side mission of [Orchid Restaurant] is still the same.

Players need to go to the brewery located in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City to solve various problems they encounter.

After returning, not only can I get information about my younger sister, but also a key item presented by Orchid—【Wine Gourd】.

Drinking can instantly restore blood!

Undoubtedly an artifact.

The higher the wine gourd, the higher the wine, the better the blood recovery effect.

However, the owner of the wine shop only gave the players the most basic wine gourd. There are two ways to get a better wine gourd——

One: Rent or buy a piece of land from a brewery and grow gourds by yourself.

One gourd seedling can produce seven gourds, and the quality of seven gourds is random. If you breed several times, you can always get high-quality gourds.

Two: There are NPCs in the follow-up plot that can help players upgrade the wine gourd.

Of course, it also needs to be done after the player completes the side missions.

……

On the way to find his sister, most of the side missions that players encounter are like this.

If you want to skip, [-]% of them can be skipped directly.

But the price of skipping is to miss all kinds of props and not get the corresponding combat experience and skill enhancement.

When facing challenges later, it will lead to a serious shortage of combat power, and it is impossible to fight against the enemy at all!
If Zhang Muyu just jumped all the way, when he couldn't jump later, he would immediately teach him to be a man when he met an opponent!

His apprentice-level novice sword is likely to break with a single collision!
Without enhanced physical fitness, he can't keep up with the opponent's speed at all.

This is not a gap that can be recovered by manipulation.

But Zhang Muyu is still ignorant of all this, and is running towards Chunmingmen quickly.

Around the three east gates of Chang'an City: Tonghua Gate, Chunming Gate, and Yanxing Gate, the restaurant industry is very prosperous.

In addition to the most common Chang'an rice wine, there are also many wine shops opened by foreign nationalities. They will invite beautiful orchids to entertain customers in the hotel, so it is very popular among the common people.

And the one the player is looking for is the most special one among them: the proprietress is directly a barbarian.

It can be said to be the most authentic [Orchid Winery].

The proprietress Orchid has naturally been carefully designed, and she is also a first-class appearance: fair skin, beautiful nose, blue eyes, long white legs looming under the long skirt, and the exotic style is completely full.

If Shui Hua sees this, he will definitely complain again: "Special XP+1."

But Zhang Muyu is different. In the eyes of hardcore first-kill players, all fans are skeletons!

Facing the request of the big beauty Orchid, Zhang Muyu refused again with no expression on her face, and asked her sister's information directly without any understanding.

Although the beautiful Hu Ji was very unhappy, she didn't make things difficult for him because he was Xinxin's brother.

It can be seen how likable this younger sister Xinxin is, even though it has been 6 years, this big sister Hu Ji still misses her well.

However, the information Zhang Muyu received left him speechless: This Orchid doesn't know where her sister is.

Because my cheap little sister came here to learn how to make wine when she was 10 years old, but she went to learn alchemy when she was 11 years old!

At that time, this orchid was 13 years old, two years older than Xinxin, but Xinxin took care of her instead.

The most important thing is: according to this orchid, Xinxin came here suddenly by herself, and somehow persuaded her mother to agree to send Xinxin, a 10-year-old girl, to be an apprentice in a brewery!
A year later, it was herself again, somehow found a way, and went to a Taoist temple to learn alchemy from a master.

——It is said that she wanted to learn horse riding and sword casting, but she was too young and was rejected, so she decided to learn alchemy instead.

"She won't learn a craft every year..." Zhang Muyu guessed.

But he didn't show anything on his face, and he rushed to Puning Square and Dongming Temple non-stop, looking for his sister's alchemy master.

In this way, the plot of [Orchid Restaurant]—skip again!
Zhang Muyu's plot progressed quickly.

But some viewers in the live broadcast room were not very happy—they had been running around on the streets of Chang’an City, and it was really not a live broadcast effect:
"skip! skip! skip! all skip!"

"Did you spend 500 yuan just to run in Chang'an City?"

"You won't be in a hurry to clear the customs, so you can get a refund right away?"

"Skipping so many plots, will there be problems?"

"What's the point of you playing like this?"

……

But Zhang Muyu insisted on going his own way: "Don't tell me the meaning, the first pass of the game is my meaning! The world's number one is my meaning!"

*
Compared with the ultimate pursuit of speedrunning players, it is much easier for ordinary players to have fun.

At the gate of the Chen Mansion, the Second Miss said: "Are you in a hurry to go to your relatives? Can you wait a few days and let me show my kindness as a landlord?"

Chizuru: "Okay, okay."

……

In the small pavilion of the Chen Mansion, the second lady said, "That's great! You know so much! I don't want you to leave. I'll send someone to deliver letters to your relatives. Can you play with me for a few more days?"

Qianhe: "Okay, okay! Don't worry about delivering the letter."

Chizuru couldn't be happier.

'Female NPCs are more intimate with female players than male players', this setting is really great!

"I still have a lot of stories to tell you. Let's sleep together tonight? I'll tell you all night!" Qianhe looked at the little girl opposite, like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit.

It's a pity that the little white rabbit didn't feel anything, and was very excited: "Okay!"

'Yunmeng, I love you so much! 'Qianhe cheered in his heart.

Of course, she didn't forget to feel sorry for her cheap sister who was in a desperate situation for a second: "My dear sister, wait for my sister for a few more days, and I will rescue you as soon as I have time!"

In the game, the players were having a blast, but the deserted island outside the game became uncomfortable again.

Desert Island Company, the boss's office.

Xin Jing: "Boss, 15 shortlisted contestants have sent messages saying that due to special reasons, they have to give up [VR Boxing Champion Global Championship]."

"What special reason?" From the voice, Bian Xiao's emotions could not be heard.

Xin Jing lowered her head and looked at the tablet in her hand - not because she couldn't remember, but because she didn't want to see the eyes of the current boss.

"One contestant said that he suddenly caught a cold and had a fever yesterday, and now he is weak and unable to do strenuous exercise. Two contestants said that their stomachs were spoiled by eating, and the other three said that they would go back to their hometown with their parents. The equipment was too large to take home, so we just Sorry to be absent..."

……

Every player who gave up the game gave their own reasons, and they all seemed reasonable.

But Bian Xiao didn't believe it.

On the screen in front of him was the Lingxi homepage of one of the retired contestants, and the latest news was——

[Brothers, see you in Chang'an City! ]
The release time was half an hour before the release of "Chang'an".

As for the [VR Boxing Championship Global Contest] 128 to 64 games, there were 32 games this morning and 32 games in the afternoon.

and so……

Most of these people are all staying in "Chang'an"!
128 into 64, a full 15 people absent...

And it's not just 15 ordinary players, 6 of them have performed very well, winning all the way to the promotion, and many players have high hopes for them.

But now, in order to play "Chang'an" for a while, these people actually gave up the game directly?

That's a million cash prize!Say give up and give up?

Bian Xiao couldn't understand.

And if they do this, how will the deserted island explain to the outside world?
I'm going to lose my face!
"Om~Om~Om~"

Xin Jing's cell phone vibrated suddenly, she took it out and took a look, her expression became more embarrassing: "Boss..."

"What's wrong?" Bian Xiao asked expressionlessly.

Xin Jing said with some difficulty: "The number of retired players is now 16..."

Bian Xiao's eyelids jumped a few times.

Looking at the ugly face of the boss, Xin Jing couldn't help but said: "How about we announce a ban on them? Or some other punishment?"

"Of course not!" Bian Xiao's voice rose sharply.

He was very angry indeed!
But anger is anger, but things can't be done like this.

"Right now, the deserted island must not be on the opposite side of the players! It is even more forbidden for the players to choose between the deserted island and Yunmeng!"

Bian Xiao couldn't help clenching his fists and said:

"Reply to them, just say that we are very sorry about this, and look forward to seeing them again in the second competition."

"Understood." Xin Jing turned and left the office.

The moment the door closed, she seemed to hear a slap on the table.

But the voice is not high.

It seemed that the boss wanted to slap the table angrily, but held back at the last moment, so there was only a soft slap on the table.

Thinking of this, she suddenly couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to the boss.
