Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

When the siege battle of Inadoli was opened, the map system was also opened.

But this map... is not the kind of map in traditional games that is so detailed that it will even mark out the location of the fixedly refreshed BOSS for you, and the task monsters can also see the prompts for real-time refresh maps, but the hand-drawn coordinates in the style of old movies The map—in fact, Yang Qiu used PS to make the official topographic map of the world into a hand-painted style, then added it to the matrix and it was done.

There are only terrain trends of mountains, rivers and rivers on the map, and there are only dots in urban and rural areas. There are things on the official map that may not be on the player's map, and things that are not on the official map are definitely not on the player's map.

You can only identify where you are, and you can only see the small blue dots of yourself and your teammates/team members on the map. There is no instant refresh prompt for mission points, and there is no detailed street route map in towns. Players complained I don't know how many times... just don't change it.

The only thing that makes players feel better is that the maps loaded in the system allow players to add and modify them, just like their personal logs, and the added and modified maps can also be shared with other players—in other words, players can complete the map by themselves.

Mr. Oluga shared the distribution map of Tarantan monsters that he had explored many times on the player forum, but the monster spawning points he found were places where super masters SOLO (single brushing) can maximize their benefits. There are not many people who can use his shared map in the game.

Seeing from the blood alliance channel that everyone was helping their relatives and friends with professional tasks, Tang Jia, who left the owner of the orange cat and the big brother of the oluga and came back to help out, found the small farm at the foot of the mountain, and immediately opened the area map. I took a look... Sure enough, there was no building marked on the map.

Manually adding this small farm that was not marked on the map, Entropy did not increase and waved: "Go and have a look."

Needless to say, Tang Jia had already galloped to the front.

It was still a little while before dark, and there were still workers working in the open space in front of the farm. Suddenly, they saw a group of undead rushing towards them. The workers who turned the grass with pitchforks were startled, and hurriedly shouted into the farm: "Miss Boss, there are undead coming!"

"Undead? Is it the undead in the town?" A strong woman came out of the cowshed with a broom and bowed her head. She saw the undead had passed the workers who turned the hay and rushed into the farm with joy...

The Shanjiao Farm is a small civilian farm. In the more than [-] acres of land reclaimed by the family, some crops such as wheat, corn, potatoes, radishes, and vegetables are planted. Among them, corn and potatoes are the most, and vegetables are the least. Some of the land is used for their own food, and a few acres of grass are planted for cattle and pigs.

The family who ran the farm couldn't take care of so many fields, so they hired two workers from a nearby village; a while ago, someone from the town hall came to the farmer to discuss hiring cheap spring plowing workers, because of the benefit of only paying half of the money from the family , and hired two town workers to help.

The work on the farm is very hard. According to the local tradition, the employer is obliged to provide two meals for the hired laborers who do heavy work. When the proprietress is cleaning the cowshed, her daughter and daughter-in-law are busy in the kitchen, preparing food for the family and four workers. dinner.

The intrusion of more than 20 undead disturbed the tranquility of this small farm. The farm daughter who went out to hold firewood saw the undead running around everywhere, screamed and fled back into the kitchen, and closed the door with a "bang".

Just as the proprietress wanted to remind her daughter not to provoke these undead, she saw her stunned daughter-in-law rushing out of the kitchen holding the tongs, trying to fight the undead...

Fortunately, the undead made weird gestures to their daughter-in-law, then slapped the tongs she was holding away with their paws, walked around the kitchen, and then came out to search other places.

The proprietress threw down the broom and ran over, hugging the panicked daughter and daughter-in-law one by one, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, calm down, didn't someone from the militia come to remind you earlier, there will be The undead come looking for people, just don’t provoke them, they will leave after searching!”

The daughter was afraid of seeing these ferocious skeletons, so she buried her face in her mother's body.

The daughter-in-law's reaction was a little different, she stared blankly at the undead coming and going in and out of her farm, looked back, turned her head away, and said to the proprietress with a strange expression: "Are they really going to leave after searching?"

The landlady's heart trembled, and she involuntarily let go of the hand that hugged her daughter-in-law's shoulder.

The daughter-in-law didn't say anything else, she squatted down slowly, put her head in her hands, and looked numbly at the undead on the farm.

The proprietress stared at the back of her daughter-in-law for a long time in amazement, and hugged her daughter tightly with both hands.

"Mom, where are Dad and brother?" The little girl who was hugged tightly asked softly.

The proprietress didn't make a sound.

The husband and the eldest son had left the house in a hurry earlier. The proprietress saw her husband put the cash box at home into the backpack, and stuffed a few clothes in it, and called the eldest son, without saying a word to her or the daughter. He walked away without looking back.

Subconsciously, the proprietress turned her gaze to the easternmost side of the farm, the warehouse that was a little away from other buildings.

What the husband and eldest son did in that warehouse, the proprietress didn't know very well...or maybe, she didn't want to find out.

She only knew that sometimes, her husband and eldest son would bring some food to that warehouse, and the food would be relatively large, not something that could be eaten by two people.

The proprietress' hands began to tremble slightly, and she subconsciously hugged her daughter even more tightly.

Some undead went to that warehouse.

The undead who entered the warehouse stayed there for an extremely long time in the proprietress' mind.

The undead finally came out. Its terrifying skull face kept opening and closing its jaws, and it waved its arms vigorously to greet its companions. It seemed very excited.

Some of the undead ran towards the warehouse, and some of the undead walked towards the farm owner's house.

"What? What are you doing?"

Four strong hired workers were captured by the undead. The dazed hired workers tried to resist, but they were not the opponents of the undead, and they were quickly pinned down and tied up.

Another undead walked towards the proprietress and the three of them, stretched out their bone claws, unceremoniously separated the proprietress from her daughter, looked at the young daughter, ignored her, and tied up the proprietress and the daughter-in-law who was squatting on the ground .

"No! Let go of my mother!" The little girl who was pushed aside cried and rushed over.

"Irene! Be sensible! Go back into the house!" The proprietress didn't struggle, but suppressed the pain and scolded the little daughter.

Eileen, who was less than ten years old, didn't know what happened. She only knew that something terrible was going to happen to her family, so she rushed forward to save her mother regardless.

"Irene!" The proprietress was in great pain, she couldn't hold back her tears after all, she was reluctant to drive her daughter away, and she was afraid that the undead would take her daughter away with her.

"What the hell is this NPC doing?" A player grabbed Irene by the collar and dragged her away, complaining to his friend in pain, "What the hell is it to arrange a family scene for a mission? Let the player take Is it a villain script?"

The little friend also had a headache for the crying and screaming little girl NPC: "Is there any plot that we haven't triggered?"

"Probably." Entropy Buchan came out of the next room and pointed to the four hired workers who were tied up next to him, "Those guys don't look like the male masters, their clothes are not of the same level as the farm owner's, they are probably workers And so on, the master may have run away."

"Fuck, there's such a thing!" The players who were doing the mission together were shocked, "The mere NPC doesn't just stay in place and wait for the player to catch it, but will it still run away?!"

"Maybe this task cannot be completed by a group of people." Entropy Buzeng held up the photo frame he found in the house, "This should be a family portrait, and two men from this family have run away. I will do it with others." Let the task team take a breath, which group can encounter these two 'principal criminals' depends on luck."

Saying that, if the entropy does not increase, I will no longer care about the "capture scene", share the appearance and characteristics of the two male NPCs who ran away in the family portrait on the blood alliance channel, and open the friend list, and go to Yongwang Town with the online ones All Faye players who do professional tasks copy and send it again...

There are so many nanny players in the list of nanny players, the entropy does not increase such a group, the team of players doing missions in Yongwang Town has basically received the news.

"It's near this point in the eastern suburbs, right? Our group is coming!"

"Damn it, our regiment is on the diagonal!"

"We are too far away, so we won't come here. There seems to be a hidden mission here. We are looking for clues..."

The entropy does not increase. Here, I am communicating with the Faye players who are also doing the task. Over there, Tang Jia and other small partners have successfully brought the task target young Brook and several other NPCs that are not in the task requirements out of the warehouse basement.

At the moment when Brook, who was illegally detained for several days, saw the light of day again, all Faye players who were doing missions in Yongwang Town received mission update reminders:

"Mage player professional mission "Looking for Brook" has been updated"

"The team led by the player Entropy Boundless successfully rescued the teenager Brook who was kidnapped by the Darnell family."

"The main culprit, Darnell, and the son of the accomplice, Darnell, are still at large. Please, undead warriors, make persistent efforts to arrest these two."

"The mage player's professional task branch "Cleaning the Haze of Yongwang Town" has been triggered."

"The undead warriors have successfully taken out two lairs of evil lurking in Everlook Town: the Farm at the Foot of the Mountain, and the Horseshoe Bar."

"The town hall has obtained more clues and discovered more crimes hidden deep in Yongwang Town."

The content of the side quest "Clearing the Haze of Yongwang Town" is N times more than the main quest "Looking for Brooke", and the number of words is so large that it needs to be folded...

Clicking on the fold, players can see the NPC's name, address, and long-term haunted place on two pages—all of which Yang Qiu interrogated from Dennis Frank.

Anyway, there are so many player teams in Yongwang Town at this moment, Yang Qiu simply handed over the work of catching people to the players...

A lot of side objectives that can earn territorial prestige and game coins came out, and the players who were wandering aimlessly with their relatives and friends in Yongwang Town were extremely pleasantly surprised.

"As expected of the Master, the professional tasks are better than other professions!"

"Damn it, why is there no such treatment for Xing Zhe's professional tasks, and the government actually engages in professional discrimination!"

... Complaints are nothing but complaints, many small teams of players who have already started paddling are still actively moving, rushing to the nearest hiding place of the mission target...

The entropy-increasing team who rescued Brooke brought disaster to the foot of the mountain farm according to the usual practice. Unfortunately, this farm is just a face-saving farm. Very upset, he escorted six "NPC criminals" cursingly, and led Brooke and others to the town hall.

During the days when Brooke and his four companions were detained, they were drugged and fell asleep every day. The undead gave them a low-level alchemy potion and woke up. They did not suffer much. Undead is not a big problem.

When Brook saw the farm's little daughter, Erin, weeping and stumbling behind the captured mother and sister-in-law, she couldn't bear to carry the little girl on her back.

"Brother, why did you arrest my mother?" Erin, who was lying on Brook's back, sobbed.

"Because your father and brother tricked us into locking us under your warehouse, and even wanted to sell us." Brook, who was carrying Erin behind his back, also had a lot of resentment.

"My father and my brother did this kind of thing?" Erin was so shocked that she forgot to cry, "Why?"

"How do we know!" Brooke didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The four hired workers who were led away by the undead in a row saw that this group of young men were easy to talk, so they boldly said: "Little buddy, can you say something for us, we are just hired to help on the farm, I haven't seen you, we don't know what Boss Darnell has done."

"I, my brother and I were introduced to the mountain foot farm by the town hall last month. We were really wronged!"

After all, Brooke was brought out by Sister Zhao. He didn't even vent his anger on the farmer's daughter, so he naturally wouldn't vent his anger on the innocent hired worker. Something will happen. The undead are only responsible for arresting people. The interrogation and judgment is a matter for the town hall. Lord Barton is a person from the town hall. He will not wrong the innocent. As long as you make it clear to the magistrate, you can go home. "

The four employees were very grateful and quickly thanked Brooke.

Brooke thought he needed to talk more to appease him, but he didn't expect them to accept his words so quickly, but he was a little surprised... He worked with Sister Zhao at the grassroots level, and knew that people always like to understand problems from their own perspective and common sense habits. It is difficult to accept different opinions and suggestions, and often the most basic and simplest policies have to be explained many times before people can understand and accept them.

After thinking about it carefully, Brook found that this seemed understandable... not because his words were so influential, but because Barton, the lord of Everlook Town, had already gained the trust of the locals—these four workers who were accidentally involved , I believe that Barton will not punish them arbitrarily.

"Well, you've done a good job." Brook murmured in a low voice. Being kidnapped in the territory under his own responsibility, Brook must have some objections to Barton in his heart.

After all, who would have thought that a local who worked hard to accumulate a small farm-scale family business as a commoner would do such a crazy thing?

Barton had a stalemate with the proprietress of the Horseshoe Bar all afternoon without getting any confession. He was so irritable that the undead brought the fallen Brooke and the prisoner's family to the town hall to exchange reputation and undead coins.

Barton: "..."

Barton was thinking about what he had accomplished that day. Brook led the youngest daughter of the Darnell family to him, and then threw him a big problem: "The adults in the Darnell family are probably involved, but This child must be innocent. Now his family can't go home, how can this child be arranged?"

Barton turned his gaze to the child who was hiding shyly behind Brook, and then looked at Brook who seemed to have been relied on by the child.

... Is it okay for the victim to develop a relationship with the family of the perpetrator?Is he reading some vulgar legendary novel?

"——What kind of eyes do you have?! I'm still a child too! I don't have as many dirty thoughts as you adults!" Brook shouted.

Although the 15-year-old Brooke can already fall in love, it is impossible for him to find a nine-year-old child!And he will also hold grudges, not venting his anger is already the limit!

"Okay, I'll make arrangements for this kid." Barton didn't bother with the brat, and brought Irene over. "What about you, do you want to go back to the city hall or continue your mission?"

"I have to go to the city hall to meet Ms. Zhao." Brooke said, "You arrange a car for me."

Barton heard that he meant that the task had been completed, and hurriedly said, "How can I cooperate?"

Brook waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, you probably won't be too busy for a long time."

Barton: "..." Did you secretly do something big behind my back?

Barton, who was so curious, also knew that he should not ask more questions. Anyway, he would always know what he would know. He arranged for a few security guards to send Brook and his party away, first taking the young prisoner's family member Irene. The logistics department handed it over to the aunts to take care of them, so they interrogated the criminals brought back by the undead overnight.

The four hired workers confirmed that they had nothing to do with the case committed by the Darnell family after separate questioning and cross-comparison of testimonies. They were released on the spot, and all four of them were asked to register with the Department of Civil Affairs and queue up again to arrange work.

Darnell's wife and daughter-in-law cannot be said to be completely unrelated.

"I, I... I do know that he is doing some bad things." The proprietress of the farm at the foot of the mountain, in the interrogation room where Old Jack and the bartender were interrogated during the day, was terrified by the cleaned blood on the ground. I will explain how I struggled.

"The operating condition of the farm is very bad. I think...he may have no choice." After saying a few words, the proprietress covered her face and began to cry.

When the farm was built, Darnell, the husband of the proprietress, was still financially well-off, so he ambitiously built two two-storey small buildings for the family to live in, and built several warehouses, cowsheds, pigpens, and more. A dozen workers were hired to open up wasteland.

It's a pity... After all, the common people are not as rich as the nobles. The irrigation project cannot be completed by a commoner's family at all. It is impossible to open up as much wasteland as the farms run by the nobles. The land has long been a village, and ordinary people can't occupy it. When the development reaches a scale of more than [-] mu, the reclamation operation has to stop.

More than [-] mu of land can improve the living conditions of most farmers beyond the level of urban residents, but it is far from enough for those who pursue the superior life of farmers, and the output in the land is sometimes not even enough to maintain the operation of the farm— ——If the pigs and cows get sick in a certain year, or the crops are in short supply, the workers' wages will have to be subsidized.

Button listened to the proprietress' narration, but the expression on his face didn't change much.

When the proprietress was tired from crying, Barton slowly shook his head and said, "Do you know how many families are below the poverty line in the territory of Yongwang Town?"

"The extreme poverty line drawn by the city hall refers to families whose annual income is less than five gold coins and whose annual total income is less than fifty silver coins. Such families cannot guarantee two meals a year for half a year, even in winter The celebration also needs to find a way to find work, otherwise the whole family will be hungry."

"There are nearly 4000 households and more than [-] people like this in Yongwang Township. In other words... nearly [-]% of the families in Yongwang Township are in abject poverty."

"When I came to Yongwang Town to be a lord, it was after the winter celebration period. During that time, the weather was a bit cold. During the first two days when I came, a family died of a mud house collapse, and then because of lack of As a means of keeping out the cold, another child was frozen to death.”

"In addition, three people died of freezing and starvation, one in the town and two in the countryside, a mother and son."

Barton paused, and in the astonished eyes of the proprietress raised her head, she said word by word: "I want to know why the mother and child died of freezing and starving, and ran to collect the bodies of the mother and child... I found that the mother At home, there is not even a grain of corn in the grain jar."

"Their family's life should not have been so difficult. Her family has two acres of land, the walls of the house are thickly painted, and the family used to be able to raise pigs."

"But in the year that mother was pregnant, her husband was abducted when he came to the town to buy salt. I don't know where he sold it. Find her husband."

"When her child was three years old, someone said that she saw a man who looked like her husband on the farm in Newing Town, so she went to find him... It was indeed her husband, but he had already been sold to a farmer in Newing Town. The farm, because her husband is strong and knows how to do farm work, is worth eight gold coins. It’s worth more than some pretty little girls.”

"That mother can't afford eight gold coins."

"When her family has a full population, she will have to save this money for two or three years. After losing her husband, she will not be able to save even more."

After telling the mother's story, Barton stopped and looked at the proprietress quietly.

The proprietress lowered her head.

"I always heard people say that the husband was abducted by outsiders, and outsiders are not good people. People in the town warn each other so that they don't deal with outsiders. Otherwise, if something happens, a The family will be destroyed." Barton said quietly, "But even if the people in Yongwang Town are so wary of outsiders, it is still inevitable that some people will lose their family members."

The proprietress covered her face with her hands, lowered her head and wailed loudly: "I'm sorry...Master, I'm really sorry..."

Button looked away, got up and walked out of the interrogation room.

Coming out of the interrogation room, Barton took a deep breath.

"Obviously I can live a stable life, but I have to do some superfluous things!"

He has no sympathy for Darnell's family at all. It's fine for him to be young and ignorant. Adults are not afraid of short life if they eat other people's flesh and blood!

"Barton, another undead is coming!" An operator ran over and called him.

"Here we come!" Barton pulled himself together and strode out of the security department where the prisoners were being held.

That night, the town hall of Yongwang Town was brightly lit, and they stayed up all night.

The Inner City Hall, dozens of miles away, was also busy, even busier than Yongwang Town.

"Have the people seized at Frank's house been dispatched?"

"The Secretary of Public Security has gone!"

"Does the Transportation Department have any spare carriages? There are not enough carriages to pull people to Frank's manor!"

"There are really no more carriages! Rex's carriages have been pulled to make up the number!"

"A few more clerks, Frank's family has to take over so many farms, and only two of them are given to me. Do you expect me to do this until next year?!"

"The Frank family has a factory in the factory area of ​​Beicheng..."

"For Ms. Gold Coin's sake, don't rush! Someone call Westem to borrow someone!"

Brooke and his friends, who rushed back from Everlook Town, felt the vitality of this new regime no less than that of the undead as soon as they entered the city hall...

When a group of people went upstairs, an operator hurried past grabbed the tallest and strongest young man among Brooke’s friends, and dragged him away without any explanation. The young man who was captured shouted that he was not from the city hall, but he couldn’t escape. .

When Brook successfully arrived at Ms. Zhao's consul's office on the top of the building, there was only one companion who looked as tender as him and looked underage.

"Is this always like this here?" Brooke's little friend grabbed his arm, trembling.

This group tried their best to save Brooke's companions after he was deceived by the caravan. During the search for rescue methods, some people ran away, leaving only four teenagers who were hard to find for the mercenary group or the adventure team; He was able to meet Brooke, and was taken by Brooke to do a high-risk investigation mission for several months, and it was the first time he came to the city hall to show up.

"Occasionally, everyone is not so irritable, and everyone is very kind." Brook comforted his little friend, and pushed the door of the administrator's office open.

"Brooke? Just in time!"

Before Brook could see the situation inside the house clearly, Rex, who was just about to come out of the house, looked at him with surprise on his face, and unceremoniously reached out and grabbed the young Brook's thin shoulders to take him outside: "My stenographer was borrowed. Let's go, come and help me."

"Wait, wait - I have something important to report to Ms. Zhao quickly!" Brook struggled, pointing to the only remaining friend, "He, he can also read! Write very fast!"

Little friend: "?!"
