Urban Sims

Chapter 3 Counterattack requires more knowledge

The blood in front of my eyes gradually dissipated, and the gray and white walls of the rental house came into view.

Shaking his head, shaking off the chaotic thoughts in his head, Zhou Ming opened the task panel of "The Sims":

Mission Map: "Zhang Ergou's Counterattack Life"

Game role: Zhang Ergou
game state: over
Property: 1 (you have a hut)
Status: 0 (bottom, bottommost)

Reputation: 2 (you were once famous)
Partner: 0 (Lonely life is your destiny)

Descendants: 0 (nothing left except Huangtu Yipei)
Lifespan: 18 (You outlast 28% of villagers)
Achievements obtained: 21
Game evaluation: F (you have not achieved any commendable achievements except wasting your life in this game)
Highest achievement: 21 (reach 500 points to open the next level)

"Nimei, it's 21 o'clock. I've been in it for 18 years, only to get 21 achievement points? Is there actually only 3 achievement points after deducting the lifespan item?"

System, are you kidding me?
Zhou Ming cursed loudly, and suddenly felt that he was cheated. At first, he was full of confidence, thinking of crushing and pushing all the way in the game, but in the end he was slapped severely by reality.

This game is not as fun as expected.

"By the way, how did I die just now? Why did those people kill me?"

When he came back to his senses, Zhou Ming fell into memories. He had already felt that the wind was going smoothly at the end of the game, and he was about to harvest a large number of achievement points. Unexpectedly, bad luck came suddenly. Who did I offend?

"The host can view the replay of the game." The system reminded at this time.

Zhou Ming immediately clicked the playback button on the screen. In the dark night, among a group of people, he saw two familiar faces, one with a fleshy face and an obvious scar on his forehead, and a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek. As hungry as a wolf.

"Li Hu, Sun Dafu?"

Zhou Ming knew these two people. Li Hu was the leader of the guard house of Li Shouzheng's family, and Sun Dafu was the housekeeper of Li Shouzheng's outer courtyard. These two are the most ruthless in demanding rent and debt, and their prestige in Niujia Village is almost as good as a child's cry at night.

"Li Shou, Li Shou, is going to kill me?"

Zhou Ming instantly understood who the real culprit was who killed him. Without Li Shouzheng's instigation, Li Hu and Sun Dafu could not have come to kill him for no reason.

"It's just... I have no grievances or enmities with that Li Shouzheng, and I have never owed his family land rent or foreign debts. Why did he put me to death?"

Zhou Ming couldn't figure it out, he was very low-key from the very beginning of the game, how could he suddenly be killed?
"Could it be..."

Shocked, Zhou Ming thought in an instant that after the success of the new agricultural planting method he had researched for five years in the late game, the first to bear the brunt was naturally Li Shouzheng, the head of the village who lived by collecting land rent.

If all the tenants in the village were like Zhou Ming, who could support a family with the output of a few acres of thin land, what reason would those poor tenants continue to rent and plant the land of his Li Shouzheng family?
With fewer tenants, the income will naturally decrease, and the phenomenon of selling children and daughters to pay off debts will also decrease. The good days of Li Shouzheng, the head of the village, will be gone forever.

It touched the interests of the big landlord class, which is the root cause of the disaster that caused his own death.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming couldn't help complaining: "I'm talking about the system, this map has no possibility of achieving high achievements at all. There are no resources for inventions and creations. If the farming is done well, it will touch the interests of the big landlords and cause death. That's the way to go." The road is difficult to pass, you say, how should I play?"

The first round of the game ended in a fiasco. The 500 achievement points that he thought would be easy to break through were now as insurmountable as a mountain. For a while, Zhou Ming even felt that the "Sims" system that fell from the sky was as useless as a chicken rib.

Blackjack achievement points, even the cheapest skill product in the system mall [Elementary Farming Technique] can't afford it, playing this game is useless.

"Host, the novice map of "The Sims" is the least difficult of all maps. As long as the host finds the right counterattack method, "Zhang Ergou's Counterattack Life" is not too difficult for you."

"What you said is true, System?"

"It's absolutely true, as long as the host finds the correct path." The system said with certainty.

Well, then I'll trust you again.

Withdrawing his frustration and calming down, Zhou Ming began to summarize the reasons for the failure of the first game.

First of all, the most important point, Zhou Ming found that he was seriously unprepared.

Not to mention the important glass-burning and steel-making technology, he entered the game without memorizing the most basic chemical equations such as cement making and gunpowder mixing, and it was almost impossible to talk about inventions and creations.

In addition, when it comes to farming and farming, Zhou Ming is also dangling with a bucket of water less than half a bucket of water. He almost starved himself to death when he was engaged in research on new agricultural planting. Before the game, he had read some professional books on agricultural planting techniques, so he definitely wouldn't take so many detours.

Finally, and the most important point, everyone is not guilty of the crime. After he has developed the farming technology that is ahead of that era, he should not be too eager to share it. He must learn it slowly and ensure his personal safety is absolutely safe...

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Ming did not enter the game again, but went to the library in the city center.

He spent [-] yuan to get a library card. Zhou Ming found a few professional books related to steelmaking and farming among the many bookshelves, and immediately checked them carefully. Take out the paper and pen you carry with you, and frantically jot down notes in your notebook.

Zhou Ming spent several days in this intense study state. He forgot to sleep and eat. When he was tired, he lay down on the desk and slept for a while. Plain boiled water, this drive to study hard even attracted the attention of some frequent readers in the library.

"Sister Xiangxiang, that boy looks so strange. We've been reading the book in his hand since we came here, without even raising our heads."

On the opposite side of Zhou Ming, a petite girl whispered to the quiet woman with long hair and shawls beside her, with jade-like skin.I thought: Sister Xiangxiang looks so like a national goddess, more than half of the men around here are pretending to read books, secretly looking at Sister Xiangxiang, but I didn’t expect that the man on the opposite side seemed to treat us like air, I was really pissed off.

Install, you continue to install.

The quiet woman who was silent in a philosophy book raised her phoenix eyes slightly when she heard what the petite girl said. Out of the corner of her eyes, she just saw Zhou Ming writing in his notebook: chemical reaction equation...

Seeing Zhou Ming suddenly dancing and excited, the quiet woman smiled sweetly, revealing a glimpse of her beautiful face, she shook her head and said to the petite girl beside her: "You are really a weirdo, Xiaofei, leave them alone, you I’m going to take the postgraduate entrance examination soon, so please continue to read our books.”

"Oh~" The petite girl pouted, glared at Zhou Ming who was opposite, and returned her gaze to the review materials in front of her.

……

A week or so passed, and Zhou Ming, who had finished charging, took a deep breath, and opened the game panel with a hint of expectation.

"This time, I have memorized all the knowledge points that I should memorize! Whether it is invention, creation or farming, I can't stop me. This time, I must get more than 500 achievement points!"

"Drip~"

"The player starts to enter the game..."
