Trash games kill me [holographic]

There was finally a new progress in the main mission, and everyone cheered, even An Zhengchu couldn't help but be happy.

"Great! The main quest is progressing, so I can go back and see the village chief."

At this time, Qin Han only wanted to visit the NPC, and Qin Han's face was helpless and doting: "You..." However, this is the An An he is familiar with.

An Zhengchu didn't understand, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Han rubbed his head: "It's okay." After a pause, he joked, "Do you want to bring some gifts to the village chief?"

An Zhengchu's eyes lit up: "That's right! Why did I forget!" He pulled Qin Han and walked towards Dongshi, "Let's go, let's see what we can bring."

In the first few days when he came here, it was thanks to the villagers of Jiyuan Village who gave him some comfort, so that he would not give up life in the days of isolation and helplessness.His hands are much more relaxed now, and he just wants to go back, so of course he has to buy them some gifts or something.

Qin Han: ...Why do you feel like you shot yourself in the foot?

After the excitement of the pandas in the team frequency, they began to discuss the task eagerly.

[Team Frequency] The sultry panda: So, we are going to inquire about Jiyuan Village next.Do you want to go to Boss Jin of the Beggar Gang?Spending money to buy news is the fastest!

[Team Frequency] Galloping Pork Belly: Dead Panda, don't you know how to do missions now?Buy news buy news at every turn.The news about Boss Jin is so expensive, you still want to buy it every day?You are so bold, why don't you transfer [-] and [-] game coins in, so that everyone can play more happily?

[Team frequency] Kindergarten leader: Hahahaha fat man is reasonable, I agree!

[Team Frequency] Midnight: 1

[Team Frequency] Alluring Panda: Get out.Asking for money is not a death sentence, I will give it to you, and you will be responsible for supporting me in the future!

[Team Frequency] Galloping Pork Belly: Wow, that's shameless!

[Team frequency] Kindergarten is the leader: lose, lose, than thick-skinned, we lost.

[Team Frequency] The sultry panda: Hahahahahaha (arrogant)

[Team frequency] Kindergarten leader: Alright, let’s continue talking about Jiyuan Village, do you have any clues?

[Team Frequency] A glass of dirty wine: Well, the Xinshou Village where I was born is Jiyuan Village.

[Team frequency] The galloping pork belly: I haven't even heard of the line where it came from——

Novice Village?Jiyuan Village?

The team frequency suddenly fell silent.

An Zhengchu was at a loss, thinking that he had said something wrong, so he went to see Qin Han.

Qin Han squeezed his hand, and added casually in the team: "I met An An near Jiyuan Village."

Crowd: ...

Everyone yelled in unison: "You don't talk about your important things!!"

An Zhengchu shrank his neck.

"Oh? Why is it too late for me to say it now?" Qin Han sneered, "Should I tell you when, where I've been, and who I've met? Little boy, I haven't been beaten for a few days , is it itchy?"

The team was quiet for a moment.

[Team Frequency] The sultry panda: Hehehe—ah!A wine!Since you were born in Jiyuan Village, have you heard of Chang'an City?

Quickly change the subject.Kindergarten is following up——

[Team frequency] Kindergarten leader: Ajiu, is Jiyuan Village the same as Chang'an City?

[Team Frequency] Galloping Pork Belly: Ajiu, what is there to eat in Jiyuan Village?Are there many special snacks in Chang'an City?

An Zhengchu: ...

Qin Han snorted softly and let them go.

An Zhengchu secretly pursed his lips and coughed twice: "I've never heard about Chang'an City. From what I know, and the surrounding landscape of the village, Jiyuan Village should not be the former site of Chang'an City."

[Team frequency] The sultry panda: Ah... is there any problem with the landform?

An Zhengchu scratched his cheek: "Well, the ancient city of Chang'an is located in the northwest of Huaxia Kingdom. It is a plain area and the starting point of the Grand Canal. There are several mountains beside Jiyuan Village, and there are no big rivers yet...

Qin Han rubbed his chin: "No, I think it's somewhat possible."

"what?"

"This is a game. And the game never clearly stated how many years ago this Chang'an city is. If it is a long time ago, it would be a trivial matter to move mountains and fill seas if it encounters changes in the earth's crust."

"That……"

[Team frequency] The sultry panda: Is it really possible to be Chang'an City? !So what are you waiting for, start now!Duck!

Qin Han was speechless, and directly poured cold water on him: "Have you finished your professional tasks?"

[Team frequency] The sultry panda: ...

Qin Han continued, "Where are the others? Have you finished all the professional tasks?"

The Fat Man & Kindergarten: ...

[Team frequency] Ziye: It's done.

"Pfft—" the team made several breathless sounds one after another, and even An Zhengchu covered his mouth and snickered.

Qin Han was speechless, and squinted at An Zhengchu: "Okay, I don't know how long this main task will take, and I don't know what level of monsters we need to fight. If you haven't finished the professional task, do it quickly. It's always better to make more preparations." OK."

That's what I said, but the enthusiasm was extinguished, and everyone was a little depressed.

"That's it, it's settled, what should I do? Gather at Xiangman Pavilion after lunch."

It means that they are only given half a day to run professional tasks, and, regardless of whether they are finished or not, they will definitely set off in the afternoon.

Everyone's spirits were immediately lifted: "Okay!"

After confirming the departure time, Qin Han looked at An Zhengchu.

An Zhengchu hastily put down his hand covering his mouth, trying to pretend nothing happened, but he couldn't restrain the corners of his lips from rising.

Qin Han gave him a shudder: "What are you laughing at? Your own professional mission has failed."

An Zhengchu: ...

"You're taking personal revenge." He muttered, "How can you slap someone in the face like that."

Qin Han rubbed his head: "Then you still laugh at me."

An Zhengchu frowned and said, "I'm not the only one laughing at you!"

"What? Still thinking about not blaming the law?" Qin Han chuckled, leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

"You!" An Zhengchu covered his burning ears and turned his head away from him, "Shameless!"

Qin Han chuckled: "Let's let you go for now." The topic changed, "By the way, you were in the Imperial Prison—"

His unfinished words immediately reminded An Zhengchu of his gaze just now.In fact, Qin Han didn't show any abnormality at that time, but he was guilty.

So, before Qin Han finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Brother Han!" An Zhengchu called him anxiously.

Qin Han paused and stopped talking: "What's wrong?"

"Well, two days ago, people from the Bureau of Social Affairs and Cultural Affairs asked Bi Wenxing for my video code. Is there any problem?" Because of his special situation, he didn't want to deal with government agencies, but at this time he used it to change the subject , it was just right.

Qin Han frowned: "Why did the Bureau of Social Affairs find you? What did Bi Wenxing say?"

"Well, from Bi Wenxing's tone, they seem to want me to cooperate." Seemingly a little boastful, An Zhengchu pursed his lips and added, "But it's been two days, and they haven't contacted me."

Qin Han sorted out the relationship between An Zhengchu, Bi Wenxing, and the Social Welfare Bureau, and there was nothing he didn't understand.Seeing An Zhengchu's puzzled expression, he clenched his lips: "Well, it's okay, the Bureau of Social and Cultural Affairs is the largest shareholder of this game, they should have seen the results of your tweeting, and Star Fantasy has also reached a cooperation with you , it is normal for them to find you.

As for why he didn't get in touch... He rubbed his chin: "I'm not very clear about the work process of the Bureau of Social Affairs and Cultural Affairs, but government staff, especially this kind of culturally-related jobs, should be done before confirming cooperation or employment. Basic inspection. It's normal to delay for a few days, if you pass, I won't even contact you."

"Really?" An Zhengchu heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little disappointed, "Then... okay." Although he was afraid of dealing with the government, he still had some hopes.After all, in his era, government employees, scientific and educational personnel were all high-paying and high-welfare iron rice bowls. I don’t know how it is in this era...

Qin Han noticed something, thought for a while, and asked him, "Do you want to cooperate with the Bureau of Social and Cultural Affairs? Or do you want to work in it?"

An Zhengchu came back to his senses, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no!" Seeing that he was still a little dubious, he hurriedly said, "I'm just worried that there will be problems with sending out the video signal." It can't be said that it was to change the subject.

"Oh, it's okay. If the government officials want to retrieve your files through the video signal, they can only see the basic information. As for others, or other people," Qin Han snorted, "impossible." Not all cats and dogs can break through Passed through Xiaobo's protective net.

An Zhengchu thought he was talking about the security system built into the video signal, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

That topic is over.

Looking at the time, he pursed his lips and looked at Qin Han: "Are you going offline for dinner later?"

Qin Han raised his eyebrows: "Hungry?"

An Zhengchu patted his drumming belly hesitantly, and nodded honestly: "Yeah."

The game is holographic, but the physiological function of hunger cannot be simulated.So the game can only remind the player through the energy value: it's time to eat, it's time to drink water, it's time to rest...

Except for the first day when he first arrived, he hadn't felt this kind of hunger for a long time.

On the first day, he didn't believe in evil and had to sleep on the bed. When he woke up, he didn't feel anything wrong, so he climbed into the game room and forgot to connect the nutrient solution tube. He almost starved to death.

At that time, he was penniless and had no food in the house. According to the Welfare and Security Bureau, he could only rely on nutrient solution to maintain his life.So I was hungry and had no choice but to go offline and connect the nutrient solution tube.

With the flow rate of the nutrient solution, he was hungry for a long time at that time, and the feeling of hunger slowly subsided.

After being tortured once, he didn't dare to die again.Every day, according to William's instructions, whether playing games or sleeping, all are done in the game cabin. During this period, the nutrient solution catheter must be connected to prevent myself from starving to death.

That's why, as soon as he decided to move, he brought into play the fine traditions of the big foodie country, immediately bought ingredients and seasonings, and couldn't wait to start a business on the first day he moved in.

Even if he finds that his appetite is strange and the ingredients are questionable, since everyone here eats this way, plus the meaty aroma of the lop-eared beast and the crispness of the cress...he resolutely gave up the nutrient solution and just ate that plate of meat I had three meals—one yesterday afternoon, one late-night snack, and one this morning.

Since yesterday, he has officially started self-studying elementary school enlightenment courses on the Internet. In order not to delay the game, he set the alarm clock for himself, got up early to watch videos and studied, and ate breakfast early, so he was hungry quickly.

Hearing that he was hungry, Qin Han immediately reprimanded him with a stern face: "Why are you hungry now? Did you not have breakfast?" Or did you not bring a nutrient solution catheter——

Now that it has been determined that An Zhengchu lived with the assistance of the Fuan Bureau some time ago, he also knows why he always slept in the game a few days ago.The professional players supported by the Security Bureau and relying on nutrient solution for a living, don't they have to sleep in the game cabin...

Hearing his reprimand, An Zhengchu quickly waved his hands: "I ate. I just ate a little early, it's normal to be hungry at this point." Looking at the time, it has been almost five hours since he ate breakfast.It's perfectly normal for him to be hungry right now.

Qin Han stared at him to confirm that he was not lying, and then gave up.After telling him to remember to go online on time in the afternoon, let him go down.

When An Zhengchu went offline, he thought about it and decided to go offline too.

An Zhengchu was offline, and he was not busy with other things. He first set an alarm clock for himself to remind him to go online, and then ran to the kitchen, picked up a few pieces of lop-eared animal meat in the freezer, put them in a small bowl, and took to heat up.When he picks some cress and cuts it into fine pieces, the meat over there will be hot.

Sprinkle the cress on the sliced ​​meat, An Zhengchu picked up the bowl, touched his chopsticks and returned to the sofa, clicked on the instructional video, and watched while eating.

He has to study hard and integrate into this society as soon as possible.

***

After lunch, the whole team gathered in Xiangman Pavilion. After eating to replenish energy, everyone set off.

After arriving at Jiuqu City by horse-drawn carriage, transfer to a bull cart.

When riding in the bullock cart, the pandas were quite a novelty, laughing and joking all the way.

Soon, the group arrived at their destination.With An Zhengchu leading the way, it didn't take long for them to sit around the old square table in the village chief's house.

Village head Zhang Yu took the map tremblingly, and hurriedly lowered his head to examine and confirm.

The maps that were originally torn apart were automatically spliced ​​into one piece after they were all assembled and received in Qin Han's hands.Although there are obvious traces of repairs at the disconnected places, the various lines drawn on the map can be seen clearly.

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Yu was very excited, "It's really a map of Chang'an City, that's right, it's a map of Chang'an City."

He looked around, then at An Zhengchu, suppressed his excitement, put down the map, got up and went back to the inner room.

Everyone looked at each other.

The fat man pointed inside and yelled strangely: "Is he leaving now?"

"Are you stupid?" The panda gave him a blank look, "He should be going to get something."

The fat man opened his mouth.

Sure enough, after a few words, Zhang Yu came out again, holding a wooden box in his hand.

Walking back to his place, he opened the box, took out a thin booklet from it, opened it familiarly, and pointed to the topographical map outlined in simple strokes: "Look, this is the terrain around Chang'an City passed down by our ancestors." Refers to the map, "It's exactly the same as this one." Of course, the map is more detailed and complete.

"Wow~" Panda complained, "It's just a few strokes, how can you tell that they are exactly the same?"

"The NPC is the boss. They say they look like it." Just being called stupid, the fat man is holding grudges. "With your brain, what can you see?"

"What brains do I have? My brains are comparable to yours—"

Qin Han knocked on the table: "Listen carefully to the NPC, next we should go to the old site of Chang'an City, don't miss any details."

On the other side, Zhang Yu held the map and touched it again and again: "I didn't expect that after so many years, this map would reappear in my hand."

An Zhengchu thought for a while, and then asked, "Grandpa Zhang, does this Chang'an City have anything to do with our village?"

Zhang Yu looked at him and sighed: "You are young, and your family... naturally don't know. Our village is all survivors of Chang'an City. Jiyuan Village should actually be Jiyuan Village."

"Wow!" Fatty exclaimed frequently in the team, "So this is really Chang'an City?"

Zhang Yu couldn't hear their team's voice, and the excitement of getting the map slowly subsided. Looking at the map and booklet in his hand, he seemed to see scenes many, many years ago.

"The former Chang'an City was the starting point of the Silk Road, the starting point of the Sui and Tang Dynasties Grand Canal, and the most prosperous city in this continent. At that time, Chang'an City had the busiest market and the most complete range of goods. The family is full of flowers, the cultures of various ethnic groups blend with each other, and the pedestrians who come and go have different descriptions and languages, but they can all speak a few words of Chinese and say something like 'It's a joy to have friends coming from afar'..."

"...the court is in turmoil, we have no choice but to drag our family and move out of the city to avoid other places. When the situation is stable, we will come back. But once, the ancestors moved out with their clansmen on the front foot, and met them on the back foot. The mountain god was furious, and the sky fell apart." Having said this, Zhang Yu sighed deeply, "When the earthquake calmed down, the ancestors hurried back, and the city of Chang'an was buried underground."

Hearing this, An Zhengchu hurriedly asked: "Grandpa Zhang, so, is our village the old site of Chang'an City?"

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Silly boy, how is that possible? We are the survivors of Chang'an City, so it's fine if we can't restore Chang'an City, how can we live and live on their heads."

All right.An Zhengchu was a little disappointed. Looking at the others, he continued to ask: "Then, where is the approximate location of Chang'an City? With this map, can we find it?"

Zhang Yu frowned and looked at the others: "You want to find Chang'an City? So what if you find it?"

An Zhengchu hurriedly looked at Qin Han.

Qin Han looked calm: "Find it out, revive it, and make it famous all over the world again."

Zhang Yu was stunned, and patted the table: "Okay! Let me tell you, where exactly is Chang'an City!"

Everyone: ...can it be done in one sentence?Is it too easy?

"When the ancestors searched back, they found that Chang'an City was buried, and they were very sad. However, they were weak and coincident with troubled times. It was wishful thinking to restore Chang'an City. In desperation, they took advantage of the great changes in the terrain after the earthquake. , found a secluded place to settle down near Chang'an City." Zhang Yu paused, "That's our Jiyuan Village."

It means that although Jiyuan Village is not Chang'an City, it is also near Chang'an City.

An Zhengchu breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Han frowned, "It doesn't seem reasonable? If it's true, as you said, your ancestors led the people to settle here, after so many years, the population of Jiyuan Village should be more." It's definitely not the current few steps. It looks like a small village at the end.

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, with emotion and relief on his face: "History is too far away. If ambition and pursuit can make the family's life better, who would like to stay here to live an ordinary and poor life?"

An Zhengchu was thoughtful: "So, Dr. Sun and the others..."

Zhang Yu nodded: "Well, they are all from Jiyuan Village."

That way you can match up.Qin Han knocked on the table: "Since Chang'an City is nearby, does the village chief know the exact location?"

Zhang Yu turned to look at An Zhengchu: "This, doesn't Ah Jiu know?"

"……what?"

***

Standing in front of the earthen tomb of Li Jueming and his wife, An Zhengchu looked around in a daze: "Here?"

Looking at the pile of rocks in front of him, Qin Han touched his chin: "An'an, is this the place where you often pick wild vegetables and mushrooms?"

An Zhengchu was embarrassed: "Well, it may be because there are many rocks here, no big trees can grow here, the tallest are just shrubs. The sun is sufficient, the water is near, the weeds grow well, and there are many mushrooms around the forest. The most important thing is , I don’t know why, there’s nothing strange here.” Otherwise, why would he run so far.

Everyone immediately laughed, and they all thought of An Zhengchu's poor attributes.They can all imagine how he struggled to avoid monsters to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms in his novice period.

Qin Han frowned: "Then how does the village chief know that you come here often?"

An Zhengchu was a little embarrassed: "Well, I didn't know at the beginning. I ran around in the wild and died a few times...Grandpa Zhang couldn't see it and told me."

Qin Han was dumbfounded: "...don't tell me that I was still caught by a cock..." He remembered that when they met for the first time, Zhang Yu said that An An couldn't even catch chickens...

"puff--"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Hahaha--"

Facing An Zhengchu who was embarrassed and even showing signs of becoming angry, Panda and the others hurriedly turned their heads away.

Everyone was shaking like Parkinson's, why didn't they know what they were doing?

An Zhengchu, who was exposed, was so angry that he glared at Qin Han, turned his head, and pointed at the grave bag of Li Jueming and his wife and said angrily: "Is the task still done? Why don't you hurry up and start digging the grave?" ?!"

Everyone suppressed their laughter, turned around one by one, and looked at An Zhengchu's fingers——

Eh?

Wait, digging a grave?

Everyone: ...Didn't you come to find Chang'an City?
