Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

On the earth plane, the price of rice on a certain treasure for thickened blackout curtains starts from [-] yuan, and it starts from [-] yuan if you spell it out.

Yang Qiu must not buy this kind of expensive new style. After shopping around and bargaining around, he bought this batch of rice from a textile factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy for a price of [-] yuan, which was originally intended for the rural market. Backlog.

The rise of Moubao and Pinshaoshao is a blow to the dimensionality reduction of the physical market. There is nothing wrong with this statement. The physical stores in the city can still survive, and the rural markets are really full of corpses—anyway, these batches focus on the rural market. Curtain fabrics have been piled up in warehouses to eat ashes since every village has been connected to roads and every village has been delivered to express delivery.

Even if you want to use waste, process it into ready-made bed sheets and so on, you can’t sell it: the colors are too bright, the prints are too big and old-fashioned, and the material is thick and thick. If these curtain fabrics are processed into clothes, they must not be sold. Get ready It is serious to pay another processing fee.

These shortcomings... It happens to be an advantage in this foreign world.

The fabric is too thick?Coincidentally, everyone has to work hard for a living, and the material is more durable.

The colors are so bright and vulgar, and the printing is dense and rough?no no no!It is obvious that the factory has a conscience and is willing to dye and print!Such a beautiful fabric is so beautiful to wear out!

After Jerome repeatedly quoted the price of the new cloth and rice three times, everyone within 30 meters of the three stalls went crazy.

Vegetable sellers, vegetable buyers, shopkeepers in small shops, as long as they have more than ten coppers on hand, they all rushed over like crazy...

"Cut five meters for me! Any color is fine! Cut five meters for me!"

"Sir, can you cut me two meters first? I want thicker fabric!"

"Can you cut one and a half meters? I only have fifteen copper coins!"

With a sound of "Cheng", Hal drew out his long knife, pointed at the guests who were trying to rob them and roared viciously: "Queue for me! Do you want to die?!"

The evil spirit of the ex-thief group leader...it came in handy at this time. Whether it was someone who really wanted to buy cloth, or someone who wanted to steal things when there were so many people, they all calmed down and dawdled and pushed. Crowded, at any rate, the crooked line was lined up.

Jerome wiped off his sweat, picked up the meter ruler and scissors, and greeted the first housewife: "Ma'am, what color do you want and how many meters are you cutting?"

The housewife looked at Hal with a hideous face behind Jerome in fear, swallowed, her love for the beautiful fabrics temporarily overwhelmed her fear, and opened her eyes to carefully look at the stacked rolls of cloth while she was taking out money.

The housewife's eyes are very poisonous, even if she dared not pick and choose carefully at the stalls of these uncles, she still caught a glimpse of a roll with a pink background, a large area of ​​red rose flowers printed on one side, and a thicker than other cloth rolls. Add a little more fabric, pointing and said: "Please pull this for me, it takes four meters."

This roll of curtain fabric is for the bedroom, it can block light, and the thickness and material are excellent...

Jerome has never studied tailoring, but he has been a knight servant since he was a child, and he has learned needlework because of the needs of life. When he was a boy, he made the old clothes that the knight master didn't want to wear smaller, and cut the fabric with a meter ruler. No problem, accepted the money, and conveniently cut out a four-meter-long piece of fabric for the housewife, and handed it in a roll with my own arm.

The housewife felt the smooth fabric surface and thick fabric lining, not to mention the satisfaction, she even thanked her, didn't buy any food, and ran home holding the cloth roll.

The second place is also a housewife. This person's eyes are also very poisonous. She didn't want a thick single-sided print, but chose a thinner, but more complicated double-sided print. She also chose the brightest color, The printing is still a relatively three-dimensional 3D printing...

"Make it into a skirt, so you can wear it on both sides!" The second housewife hugged the fabric she bought, and happily said to her neighbor who came to sell vegetables with her.

The neighbor's eyes lit up, and when it was her turn to choose cloth, she also bought a double-sided print...

In a world with underdeveloped productivity, fabric is definitely a hard currency.

Chinese people dislike the country-style curtains with colorful and rustic colors, and the residents of this world are so happy; whether they are townspeople or farmers selling vegetables, whether they want thick single-sided printing or beautiful double-sided printing , they all point to the bright and colorful ones, and occasionally there are one or two rolls of simple and elegant fabrics that are not so old-fashioned, and they still don't like it...

Although Jerome cuts quickly, it takes a few minutes for a customer. The people in the queue waited for their bored eyes to scan the products on the booth other than cloth.

Colorful plastic cups and bowls, colorful boxes of plastic buttons, colorful sewing kits in clear plastic boxes, towels with stripes and simple prints…

The more the farmers looked at it, the more itchy they became, and the townspeople gradually couldn't move their eyes away.

There was a peasant woman who was lined up with several people in front of her. She couldn't bear it any longer. She tilted her head boldly and said cautiously, "Sir, sir, um... how do you sell these things?"

Jerome cut the cloth and said, "One piece is five copper coins. Two cups and bowls count as one piece. A box of buttons and a box of sewing boxes count as one piece. If you want two sewing boxes or two boxes of buttons, you are welcome."

The crowd who couldn't help discussing the color of the fabric excitedly, and who were annoyed about their lack of money... was silent for a moment.

"That, such a big basin, and, and those towels... are also five copper coins?!" The peasant woman who asked the question was dumbfounded.

"Yes." Jerome nodded.

Except for those who were waiting for the cloth to be cut, all the people behind the row began to take out money and count coins in unison...

Soon, there were bursts of wailing from the crowd like "My God, why did I only go out with so little money"...

Some townspeople who were at the back of the queue looked at the number of people in front of them, gritted their teeth and left the team, and ran home to get money...

Farmers whose homes are far away and who do not have much cash are suffering, and some people start to shout: "Does anyone want green vegetables? It's only half price!"

"Ma'am, do you want a basket in your family?"

"Should I buy the cloth first or the basin first—it's so difficult!"

There are plastics in this world, but due to the incomplete development and utilization of resources, plastic products can only be obtained through natural rubber, and petroleum is only used as a raw material for fuel and lubricating engine oil.

Raw materials are scarce, and the price of plastic products is naturally rising, which is far away from popularization for civilian use; most people only know that plastic dishes and basins are light and easy to use, but in life, the closest to people are all kinds of pottery and low-quality glass products— —Clay pots, pots, glass cups and bowls are daily necessities that most people cannot do without.

A few people also use enamelware, but... this thing is still called enamel in this world. Two world wars and one cold war, and the emergence of China, a super player, steel production will also be a pain in the ass).

Not to mention towels... Many people are willing to buy two new towels when they get married, and they won't throw them away even if they break a big hole!

The townspeople in the front hurriedly took the cloth roll home, searched the house to find all the available cash at home, and hurried to the market.

More people have not forgotten to notify relatives and friends when they go home to withdraw money.

So more and more people are looking for cash at home...

It was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, and half the town's people knew that the three uncles in the market were selling cloth roll towels, plastic bowls and bowls provided by the new lord, which were incredibly cheap and good.

The town of Westham fell...uh... Ten hours after welcoming the new owner, most of the townspeople have begun to call the new lord their lord with joy—even if these townspeople still don't know who is responsible Is the new lord.

And this series of subversive changes in the town... In the eyes of the players, it is just a part of the "new map plot".

As soon as the resurrection point (teleportation/online) of Westham Town Hall was completed, players who had no mission on them eagerly stepped in and teleported back to the town of exile.

There are two reasons for being so impatient. One is that this siege mission is really too profitable. All the players who participated online have earned a lot, and they are all eager to find the Undead Chamber of Commerce to buy their hands and change their clothes.

Second, the siege mission for this expedition mission is quite costly in clothes, and the ugly T-shirts and shorts worn by many players are rotten, so I have to go back to the Undead Chamber of Commerce to buy some rock candy, and then talk to the female workers in the town of exile. NPCs PY, mend the clothes...

Of course, not all players are eager to change their outfits, and some players are impatient to wait for the delivery CD every half an hour, and are still hanging out at Westem.

For example, Qin Guan who took video materials from everywhere - this guy took pictures of the red light district, went to the Beicheng and Xicheng residential areas to take pictures, went to the headquarters of the militia to take pictures of the captive NPCs who had been imprisoned, and wanted to enter Set up a place to shoot those beautifully modeled big sisters and little brother NPCs... I was stopped by Rex.

Another example is Liumeng, a player in life—after completing Mia and Ban’s procurement team assistance mission, she ran back to Martin Street, curiously wandering around the small shops opened by those NPCs...

Cobbler shop, knife sharpener shop, tailor shop, pawn shop, grain shop... They all ran around. Liu Meng, who was a map party when she was playing a terminal game, was so happy that her nose was almost bubbling: "This new map It’s amazing! The details are in place! It’s as perfect as shopping in a foreign town!”

"It's a pity that the language barrier is not available. Why doesn't this game open the common language? It's too weird that you can't interact with NPCs even if you're all on the friendly side!"

Sister Liu Meng, who scared a bunch of small townspeople into trembling and didn't know it, and regretted that she couldn't interact with NPCs one by one to see if she could trigger the quest, walked to the middle of Martin Street and saw a crowd of cheap stalls from a long way away. .

So she squeezed in without saying a word...

At this moment, Jerome is not the only one who is busy at the parity stall, Hal and Tuttle are not escaping either, staring fiercely at those who are picking and comparing the thickness of plastic basins, comparing the length of towels, and tangled plastic. The townspeople, whose cups and bowls are beautiful but not as practical as the pots, took a money bag and squatted beside them to collect money with a numb face.

The townspeople who were in the state of shopping spree didn't care much when they found that an undead squeezed in next to them. The people in the back row urged the people in front to hurry up while scanning the goods with their own eyes; the people in the front row were worried that they didn't have enough money Buying everything you want, and can't help but continue to be distracted by things you don't have enough money for...

Liu Meng unceremoniously squeezed into the front row, looking around.

She doesn't understand the language of the civilian NPCs on the new map, but this kind of scene doesn't really need language communication... People who don't understand English can understand what they are doing when they look at the Black Friday panic buying screen on the other side of the ocean.

After watching for a long time, she didn't find any other players in the crowd. Liu Meng couldn't help but sigh: "Without players doing tasks, will NPCs advance the plot by themselves? The AI ​​is too high."

After saying this with emotion, Sister Liu Meng got out of the crowd and continued to browse the map...

There are not many players like Liu Meng who are running the new map with great interest, but there are not many.

At this moment, Ji Tang frightenedly followed behind these few players, and walked around the streets and alleys of Westham without relaxing at all...

"The scene of this new map is so amazing, it feels like a real town when you walk in it." Tang Jia looked around with a face full of novelty, pointing to a small wooden second floor of a family and shouted, "Hey, Qingyue, you Look at that house! Lovely little grate under the attic window!"

"It looks good, but it doesn't feel much better to live in." Yang Ying, who didn't understand the style, said next to him, "The wooden house is not insect-proof, and there are mosquitoes everywhere in summer. It is so cold in winter. I used to live in a relative's house in the countryside. Impressive."

"The game still pays attention to this, if it looks good, it's over."

"It's not practical. NPCs will definitely suffer from heatstroke and be afraid of the cold. The problem of wooden houses like this when it snows in winter is even bigger."

"Then you want to say that, there is no toilet in Tianyong City, are you serious with Zhulong?"

"What is Tianyong City?"

"Oh, the one in the ancient sword—"

Ji Tang glanced at the two girls who were heartless and didn't know where the ghosts were going. If the players had this style of painting, he would have to save a lot of worry.

When he shifted his gaze to the third person, Ji Tang's expression became a little serious...

Visiting the new map with Tang Jia and Yang Ying...of course, the entropy does not increase.

In the game, the siege battle rewards have been settled, and it is morning in reality, and many online student party workers have gone offline.It stands to reason that Entropy does not increase and Tang Jia should be in class at the moment... But Tang Jia was so excited that he not only skipped class by himself, but also ran to the dormitory of Entropy to not increase in different schools, dragging Zheng Xueba up. Lost the big class in the morning and messed around with games.

So Ji Tang's nervous time was brought forward...

The original two "game maps", all the "human NPCs" in Exile Town and Desolate Stronghold are only in the early [-]s, and the contact density with players is not too high.

Now on this "new map" of Westem, there are at least [-] "human NPCs" alive and kicking, not to mention the degree of close contact!

No, originally Ji Tang was offline, but when he saw Tang Jia calling for a map in the WeChat group, he hurriedly climbed back online...

He didn't worry about anything wrong. He had just walked around half a circle of town residents' residential area, and when the entropy didn't increase, he became silent obviously. His eyes were always scanning residents' homes, courtyards, roadside corners and other places...

Ji Tang, who seemed as stable as an old dog, became more and more relaxed in his heart.

The life traces of living people are actually easily exposed from a place that ordinary people tend to ignore, that is... household garbage.

This world disguised as a game has a certain degree of civilization, and it will not throw human and animal excrement all over the streets like medieval Europe.

But it's just that there is no human and animal excrement... The streets are still not clean, and there are household garbage everywhere. They walked all the way and saw that there were no sewers that were not blocked.

It is also thanks to the shortage of all supplies in Westem, and the townspeople have no room for waste. Otherwise, Ji Tang doubts whether the garbage in this town will block the road...

After realizing that the entropy was not increasing and staring at the domestic garbage under the wall of a family's courtyard for more than five seconds, Ji Tang had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I feel like this is a hidden mission?"

When Tang Jia and Yang Ying heard that there was a mission, they stopped talking nonsense immediately, and at the same time looked at it curiously, and said in unison: "What mission?"

Ji Tang pointed to the pile of garbage that Entropy had been staring at for a long time, and said in a very natural tone: "Have you noticed that this town is different from our exile town, you can see this kind of garbage dump everywhere."

Entropy did not increase and turned his head around, looking at him with piercing eyes.

"So?" Tang Jia didn't understand.

"Didn't the system use yellow characters when resolving the siege mission? The Westum we captured is Tarantan's new territory, so our player's faction leader, Lord Yang, is also the Lord here, and we must govern West Mu, right?" Ji Tang said, "Western used to rely on the red-light district for food, and we called to destroy the red-light district, so many people would lose their jobs, right? If the player suggested to the lord Yang to do business here A Sanitation Bureau, hiring the townspeople here as sanitation workers, wouldn’t that solve part of the unemployment problem?”

"Fuck! Can you still play like this?!" Tang Jia was startled, "Qingyue Qingyue, is what Brother Ji said reliable??"

The entropy didn't increase and he didn't say a word, still staring at Ji Tang with piercing eyes.

Ji Tang felt uncomfortable being stared at by this girl, and on the surface he had to pretend nothing happened: "This game has such a high degree of freedom, maybe it can be done? If you earn enough reputation with the Undead Chamber of Commerce, players can hire NPCs to form caravans. You can even buy land to build a manor and build a factory, I think you can try it.”

The entropy did not increase and he finally stopped staring at him, stroked his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Yeah—so, just now Rex sent players to assist Mia's assistance mission, which is a bit revived." The meaning of the town's economy and people's livelihood lies in it. If we work hard in this direction, we may find another way to come up with hidden tasks."

Tang Jia's hot-tempered personality couldn't bear to listen to her analysis slowly, so she jumped up on the spot: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and ask Lao Yang for a task! Let's go and hurry up!"

Ji Tang breathed a long sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the entropy that was dragged several meters away by Tang Jia did not increase, and turned to look at him again.

Ji Tang: "..."

This girl is really not that easy to fool, is she...

Lao Yang was not in the town hall, and Tang Jia, who couldn't wait, took her friends to the resettlement site to find Rex. In the eyes of warrior players, Rex still had a good impression, anyway, that funny Bihar Reliable.

Rex greatly appreciated the proposal of using Yang's money to hire townspeople to clean the streets and keep the environment clean. He listened to the opinions of the players very humbly, and took out the regulations for establishing a sanitation station and hiring sanitation workers on the spot...

This world also has positions similar to sanitation workers, but unlike China on the earth plane, this kind of street cleaning work is often subcontracted by local affairs officers to street organizations.

Well, that's street gangs...

Taking Inadoli as an example, except for the wealthy districts (the servants of the wealthy districts usually arrange the sanitation around the mansion), all the commercial activities are carried out by street gangs responsible for road cleaning and landfill incineration. Not only can the gang receive sanitation fees from the local affairs officer, but also small businesses in the neighborhood need to pay protection fees.

As for ordinary residential areas with no commercial activities and no servants arranged in sections...then no one cares about it.

The local government has money and cares about the image of the city, so every one or two months, the affairs officer will allocate an extra small amount of money to let the gang members clean up the piles of garbage in the civilian areas.

If the local finances are relatively tight, and the affairs officer does not have much money on hand...then just let it go.

Anyway, when the residents can't bear to live in the garbage mountain, they will find their own way.

There are two streets in Westham that can barely be divided into commercial activity blocks, a red light district, and a Martin Street.

There are various brothels in the red-light district that clean up the snow in front of their doors. As for Martin Street, not to mention those with some famous connections in this town, all set up shops on this street. Those farmers who come to the town to sell vegetables dare to ask them for protection fees. If you don't enter the town directly, you can set up a stall at the gate of the town to sell...

In addition, there is no official in the town—the mayor, the political officer, has no intention of confronting the lord at all. Instead, he is colluding with the lord and the baron to make dirty money. Hire a sheriff and raise a militia to ensure law and order. , there is no need to hire additional affairs officers.

The second is that it is very close to Inadoli - the militia is a place where brave and ruthless young people go. They don't need to mix with gangs. If they really want to mix with gangs, it is easier to get ahead in Innadali than in this poor town.

Adding the two together, Westem does not have the soil for the survival of traditional gangs.

But garbage will not stop being produced just because no one handles it. No matter how frugal and careful the townspeople live, they still have to sweep out a pile of garbage every month.

Therefore, on the issue of where the garbage dump is, there are indeed many quarrels among the townspeople... Why your garbage is dumped under the wall of my yard, and my garbage is blown into your yard by the wind. From time to time, I can always hear Similar to a quarrel.

In short, spending a small amount of money to hire a group of townspeople as sanitation workers to dispose of garbage can indeed severely brush up the favorability of the townspeople for the new lord.

Yang Qiu was not in a hurry to return to Westham after solving the issue of the signature of the territory ownership. He was carrying a large amount of gold coins to purchase magic materials at the Innatrix Free Market.

The three existing teleportation arrays are not real teleportation arrays, but undead summoning arrays in disguise; the player's teleportation between the three places is simply to respond to the call of the teleportation array, and to travel in the three places as a "summoner". Come and go.

This kind of teleportation function that can only be used by "summoned objects" cannot be used by a living person...

Since the town of Westham has been captured by these players who can create new plots and new maps by themselves, Yang Qiu naturally has no reason to let it out, and must eat it. In this way, he has a serious teleportation that can be used by himself array of needs.

In addition to consuming magic powder, a serious teleportation array needs a lot of magic materials. It just so happened that he not only ransacked the red light district, but also dug into the mayor's small coffers.

Yang Qiu, who was negotiating with others, was shocked when he received an application from Rex for setting up the Environmental Sanitation Bureau from the imprint matrix.

Yes, players!You helped me figure out an operation that I hadn't even thought of!

Yang Qiu Dayue, calculated that tomorrow on earth time is the prestige settlement day, so he generously updated a system reminder online:

“[System Announcement]: The post of mayor of Westham Town, Tarantan’s new territory, has been merged into the mayor’s election, and the mayor of the exile town and West will be determined by drawing lots from the top two players with the highest prestige in the territory on the monthly settlement day. Mayor Mu."
