Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Earth time on October 27th, Sunday, at four o'clock in the morning.

Liu Yaowu, a former Huaxia road and bridge engineer, wore the ID of "Master Liu", and went online at the birth point of the town of exile in high spirits.

This senior engineer, who is actually only in his 50s in reality, would have been able to squeeze into the strong labor force if he hadn't had an accident and lay in the hospital for more than half a year. Nursing home patients also came up.

"You're just muttering, didn't you say there's a newcomer?" Lao Geng looked around and said to Master Liu.

"Last night, Xiao Lu said that the newcomer came to meet us this morning. I didn't see it when I came up." Master Liu spread his hands, "Would you like to wait here?"

Lao Geng looked at the "game time" displayed on the character panel, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's all over, let's go prepare to open the door first."

The two old men chatted all the way from the birth point of the town center to the north, walked about [-] meters, turned left after seeing the town hall, and entered an S-shaped back alley.

This unnamed street is collectively called Life Lane by the players. The intersection is Anthony's tailor shop, and a little further past is the most popular collection master workshop among players; further inwards, you can almost see the fourth street block , which is the deserted butcher's workshop that Manan is responsible for, and the chamber of commerce cafeteria diagonally opposite the door.

Although it is a back alley, Life Alley is not narrower than Main Street at all, and because casual players come and go quite frequently, it is usually much more lively than Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue, but not as good as where Walker Guild is located, Also leads to [-]nd Avenue in Spider Den.

When the two elder brothers walked into Life Lane, "senior NPCs" such as Anthony the tailor and Green the collector had already woken up. Some were squatting by the roadside ditch to wash, and some were shirtless to fetch water.

These rebellious former thieves obviously understand who their sudden increase in happiness is for. Seeing the two undead in the cafeteria of the chamber of commerce, even though they are not yet at the level of affectionate greetings, they all nodded politely down.

"These guys are also from poor families." After waving his hands to the collector master Green who nodded towards them, Lao Geng turned to Master Liu and said, "That guy named Green is only twenty years old, so what is the difference between him and his wife?" The hands are almost the same as those of the decades-old peasants in the Northwest Frontier Region."

"Isn't that right? The pony from our diagonally opposite door has an old branding iron mark on its arm. It is said that when he was an apprentice in a pork shop somewhere, he stole pig skin and scalded it for the boss." Master Liu sighed authentically, "Not only these guys, but also the group of women that Xiao Ji and the others brought back from their missions are also very pitiful. There is a girl named Mia who is not a few years older than my Xiaoyun. If they stand together, they won't look like the same generation. people."

"In this world, the world is not very good." Old Geng shook his head.

When the two elder brothers walked to the canteen of the chamber of commerce, the "civilian NPC" helper assigned to them by Lord Yang was already waiting in front of the door. When they saw the two of them, they immediately bowed cautiously.

"Oh, it's not that I don't want to do this!" Lao Geng quickly walked a few steps and helped the disabled people who were struggling to stand upright. "You don't need to bow, why don't you listen to what you say?"

"Forget it, brother Geng, they don't understand, and it's useless to talk about it. When they get used to it, it's good to know that we don't have to talk about it." Master Liu took out the key to open the door, and quickly took the stacked Plastic chairs come out.

These four disabled people are male family members who came to exile with the women. Except for Collins Carter, who lost his leg, the other three have different degrees of physical disabilities.

When they first came to the town of exile, these four people couldn't even go out, they could only lie in the house (built by zombies) to eat and sleep.

Fortunately... Although they look old, these four people are actually younger than Master Liu. The oldest Collins is only in his 40s. After getting up by himself, he was able to do some simple tasks, so he assigned Yang Qiu to the cafeteria.

The canteen of the chamber of commerce needs to provide three meals a day for more than 140 people. This task may look heavy, but it is not. All dishes, including rice, porridge and noodles, are plastic-packed semi-finished vegetable rice bags, which can be disassembled and processed.

However, the two elder brothers who presided over the cafeteria are good people with pursuit and strong empathy. Under their strong request, Lu Yiyun had to take the initiative to continue to "gift" fresh vegetables that are more nutritious than semi-finished rice buns. Then the "target" was transported to the container accumulation area at the end of the living alley in the exile town and at the foot of the mountain through unknown means. My family added a lot of workload to me...

Fortunately, the four handicapped workers didn't have much work to do, and it wouldn't be too difficult to do more things like chopping garlic and ginger.

Master Liu took chairs for the four workers who did not understand the language, and brought a few catties of ginger and garlic for them to handle, and then went into the warehouse with Lao Geng.

For breakfast, according to the habits of the Chinese people, soy milk and fried dough sticks are indispensable. However, these two things are quite difficult in this world... The undead cooking is okay, but the undead kneading noodles is too fucked. The old man doesn't even think about this.

So, for breakfast, the cafeteria provides quick-frozen dumplings and glutinous rice balls—the expert group found comrades in the local area and contacted a small local food factory in Province G. After getting off the assembly line, they were packed directly into boxes and put in ice packs to transport to the "target" , and then the two old brothers pulled them from the container accumulation area at the foot of the mountain outside the town, and put them in the canteen warehouse, and picked them up as they needed.

With the sound of "clang, clack", the heavy iron door of the warehouse was pulled open, and Master Liu who opened the door saw bursts of white mist rushing towards his face.

The undead can't feel the temperature change, but they only look at the white mist in the warehouse and the ice scum everywhere, and they can tell that the temperature inside must be similar to that of a freezer.

"Just putting a ghost-like circular picture on the wall can actually cool down. This world is really magical." Lao Geng sighed for the Nth time looking at the formation picture on the steel wall that was as tall as a person.

"Haven't we turned into alive and kicking skeletons? Who are we to reason with?" Master Liu is used to it, and walked to the boxes of speed food. He is a real magician, and probably has some kind of connection with the "target" on the earth, otherwise it is impossible for everyone to find out how the "target" emerged from Province G. How many people outside want to contact this lord Yang But it can’t, so we old brothers took advantage of it to see each other every day.”

Lao Geng came up to carry quick-frozen dumplings with Master Liu, and said with a smile: "What's the use of seeing, maybe we can get together and ask, Xiao Yang, are you a real living person, not an NPC?" ?”

"Don't, those young people who play games have already said that there is no benefit in angering NPCs, and they will be killed and offline." Master Liu said cheerfully.

A box of quick-frozen dumplings in a foam box weighs [-] kilograms. Lao Geng and Master Liu will definitely not be able to move them if they are placed on the earth, but in the "game", they can easily pick them up. The foam box There can be another box of frozen cabbage on the table...

After moving two boxes of quick-frozen dumplings into the kitchen, Master Liu skillfully set up a pot to light the fire—the pot is a straight stainless steel cauldron that is common in cafeterias on the earth. , Throw two packs of broth powder into the well water used to cook dumplings, even if they are bland quick-frozen dumplings, the local aborigines can drink the soup without hesitation.

This broth powder, it has always been disliked on the earth. Why is the bone broth made from animal bones not as high in nutritional value as the bone broth made from animal bones? The preservatives, flavors and other materials contained in the broth powder are harmful to health, etc. , any small word that any civil science nutritionist stands up to judge is a set of one set.

But in the final analysis, this is a cheap and high-quality condiment that has never been proven to be harmful to the human body. The market price is 10-15 yuan a pack, and the wholesale price ranges from 5-10 yuan. The main ingredients are animal protein and amino acids. After dissolving in hot water, it has the taste and aroma of traditional broth, and many hot pot restaurants actually have it.

On the other side, Lao Geng took off the steel knife commonly used by players from the wall, and chopped up frozen cabbage with ease...

This is the most frequently played steel knife that players are most familiar with... In fact, it is a steel knife for cutting banana trees that Huaxia exported to countries and regions such as Africa and Southeast Asia.

The price is close to the people, the quality is excellent, and gangsters in some chaotic areas still use this thing as their main weapon... ahem.

When the quick-frozen dumplings cooked in a large pot with broth powder floated to the surface and rolled, Lao Geng also chopped a box of frozen cabbage into irregular strings and threw them into the pot to cook together.

Master Liu withdrew from the stove, took the ginger and garlic packed by the handicapped workers, rinsed them with water, pulled them into foam with a garlic puller, added soy sauce, vinegar, and hot sauce, and mixed them into a large pot of dipping sauce.

At around 07:30 game time, the two elder brothers prepared breakfast almost, and the "advanced NPCs" also came to the door.

One of the great characteristics of the stuff cooked with broth powder is that you can smell the strong aroma when you get closer. The former thieves don’t care whether they are Tuttle Joe who came from a good family, or those who were rich before their childhood. El Maxwell, sniffling when he entered the door, went straight to the cutlery rack on the right side of the window, pointed to the largest soup bowl and took...

Hal finished off at least two catties of shredded cabbage dumplings with a special plate of dipping sauce made by Master Liu in one go. After eating, he used his skillful chopsticks to pick up the remaining peanuts on the plate and ate them while chewing. He said to the two people at the same table: "Do you two have any ideas about the task that Yang gave?"

Pansy, who was holding a bowl of soup, paused, and glanced at Hal expressionlessly.

His meaning is very clear, can't you wait until I finish eating?

Tuttle is a bit more particular about eating than the two of them. There is still a small half of the dumplings left in the bowl. Hearing this, he also feels suffocated, and the speed of making dumplings is slow...

"No." Tuttle sighed, "I can't understand that guy's thoughts at all. To be honest, when Yang said that the undead were 'not aggressive enough'... I am very fortunate that my father used to be strict with me. question."

Hearing these words, Pansy and Hal agreed very much - those crazy undead were considered "not warlike and not aggressive enough", then there would be no more warlike creatures in this world!

"No matter what, we have to find a way." Hal sighed, "I understand that guy Yang, he is not a reasonable person at all."

Hal needn't say it outright, the two partners are also very clear-Yang is only willing to talk about his reasoning, but not the default reasoning in the world, in other words, this black magician is simply a lunatic!

Master Liu, with his hands on his hips, wandered around the cafeteria lobby with satisfaction, admiring the diners eating. Seeing the gloomy table at Hal's table, he walked over generously, stood next to Hal, and said without hesitation: "What's the matter?" This is, the dumplings are not tasty anymore? Is the dipping sauce not good today?"

Master Liu is someone who can argue with the government at first, and mingle with migrant workers at construction sites. Not to mention his status as the most respected chef, even if he is just an ordinary player, it is only a matter of time before he mixes with these high-level NPCs. ——Of course, the main reason is that he will not treat ex-thieves as NPCs like ordinary players.

The three present here are all human beings except for Hal. After Pansy and Tuttle keenly discovered that Master Liu treated them with more respect, their attitude towards Master Liu, the undead, was also very different from that of ordinary players. Anyway, Yang did not Asking them to keep it secret, he readily stated Yang's request...

"That is to say—Lord Yang asked you to plan an event to bring players... the undead to participate in the event, and find a way to make these undead stronger and more combative?" Master Liu said in surprise.

"Yes." Tuttle spread his hands helplessly, "You know, Liu, the other undead are different from you and Geng... It's hard for us to understand Yang's thoughts."

Master Liu: "..."

In reality, Master Liu has no ability to take care of himself and can’t rely on his own ability to browse the player forums, but his daughter Liu Xiaoyun read him hot posts on the player forums when he was taking care of him, so he also knows that the players used to press this group of " The "Carnival Night" event in which "senior NPCs" snatch equipment—under the premise of knowing that the "senior NPCs" are actually real people, Master Liu really understands the feelings of these people.

Master Liu smiled awkwardly but politely. With the nimble brain of this senior engineer, he realized that this was a good opportunity to test the real purpose and intention of the lord Yang, and immediately said enthusiastically: "I have an idea, some little brothers should listen to it?"
