I became an old man in my leisure time

Gu Ke was stunned for a moment, thinking that if it was a place like the workshop and processing workshop, his single-player experience would undoubtedly be a huge waste.

A thought came to his mind: "I have selected the hired workers Xiong Xiaoman and Wu Pingping to enter the roadside stall module together."

"It is detected that the hired workers Xiong Xiaoman and Wu Pingping have a strong desire to be homesick. Do you want to anchor the projection location based on this?"

Gu Ke was stunned again: Is it still possible?

After thinking about it, he chose to agree.

"You can only project one place at a time. Please choose Xiongjia Village/Baiwei Village?"

Gu Ke did not hesitate at all this time and chose Xiongjia Village, Xiaoman's hometown.

People are close and distant, and Xiaoman is one of the people who saved him.

If she is treated the same as Xiao Ping'er, wouldn't the grace of saving her life be wasted?

"The projection location of the roadside stall has been selected - Xiongjia Village, Xichuan East Road, Xihuang Country."

"Start projection, projection completed."

"The projection time limit for this time: half an hour. I wish players a happy experience event."

Gu Ke's eyes went dark and bright, and he was already standing in a thatched cottage. He couldn't help but be surprised: So fast? It turns out that the system baby is a quick shooter.

"Hey, who are you? Shennong, no, you..." A voice came from the side.

Gu Ke turned his head in surprise, and saw a little village girl with an ordinary appearance looking up and down at him with a weird face.

"Xiao Xiong?" As soon as the words came out, he was stunned: Wait, why does this voice sound like an old man? And the one he wanted to call should be Xiaoman.

Another voice came from the side: "Shennong, you have become an old grandfather?"

Gu Ke turned his head again: "You are... Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Xiong is Xiaoman, Xiao Wu is Xiao Ping'er, but when he saw them at this moment, Xiao Xiong and Xiao Wu came out of his mouth.

He raised his hands again, and saw that they were as rough as tree bark and dark, and he looked like he had been doing a lot of work. He touched his face and saw wrinkles all over it.

He frowned and recalled, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have obtained a "Shennong character card" just now.

He looked at the system panel with his consciousness, and indeed a new character card column was added, and the only one that was lit was the "Shennong character card".

Shennong character card: rarity three stars, agronomy level +100, characteristic plant affinity +10, the system default bound weapon is the nameless hatchet.

Gu Ke's thoughts moved, and he noticed that his half-baked agronomy skills soared, and countless professional and profound agricultural knowledge emerged.

Within the surrounding perception range, the vitality of various plants was extremely clear, and it could be used as a "plant 3D map".

With another thought, the agronomy knowledge and plant affinity disappeared into the low consciousness, becoming an instinctive existence that would not interfere with his thinking.

He then remembered: the character card thing... seemed to be in the original game.

When players visit other players in the game of cultivating immortals and enter other players' homes, they can see the character cards representing these players.

This kind of character card has no actual effect and is purely decorative.

However, the default image is indeed a smiling old farmer with a white beard. It is not ugly, but it is also ordinary.

Want to change a beautiful character card? Well, please pay for it.

As long as you pay, not to mention human, even if it is not a human character card, there are all kinds of character cards in the mall. The rarer and more bizarre, the more expensive it is.

However, Gu Ke's game system does not have a mall, and he can't afford it if there is one.

With a change of mind, he continued to check the system building panel, and saw a half-real and half-real, slightly flickering hut with a name on it - roadside stall.

The hut is the simplest kind of store, single-story, without windows or back doors, only a row of door panels on the front, plus a 幚-shaped counter.

Gu Ke and his three companions stood in the counter, with names on their heads like game characters.

Gu Ke transformed into a tall old man with a white beard named Shennong, the first village girl Xiaoman had a little bear on her head, and the second village girl Xiaoping'er had a little Wu on her head.

No explanation is needed, the system sent the relevant information about the roadside stall.

For some security reasons, the system automatically hides the identities of the three people and automatically assigns the default name, which can be changed to a non-real name without charging any fees.

Gu Ke thought about it and did not change it. It was for safety and there was no need to change it, so he used it first.

Moreover, this is just a one-time experience activity. It will not be too late to think of a more majestic and domineering name after the roadside stall is officially activated.

Well, for example, Xiao Xiong will be called... Grandma Xiong? This is very good.

After making up his mind, he called the two children: "Okay, let's call it this way first. God is kind and gave us a chance to do business. After reading the rules in your mind, remember them carefully and don't violate them."

Under the power of the system, even if the two children have just learned to read, they can directly understand the meaning of this information. This is the benefit of the employees who signed the contract.

Leaving them standing there to check the relevant information, Gu Ke walked directly to the door panel, took the bolt, and removed the door panel.

The not-so-big sound of the door panel spread particularly far in the dark night, but there was a dead silence outside.

Gu Ke was not surprised.

The roadside stall system building is somewhat special. This small house does not exist in the valley, nor is it fixed in any place.

It is a temporary stall. Whenever it chooses to set up a stall, it will take him and the selected employees to project to a certain place to do business.

Since it is a projection, the most danger it encounters is that the projection is destroyed, and the stall is terminated in advance, and the main body will not be damaged.

And there is no need for Gu Ke and others to look for it, the guests will come to the door automatically.

But who the guests are, how many guests there are, and whether the guests buy and sell, all depends on chance.

In ancient times, Jiang Taigong fished, and those who are willing to take the bait took the bait.

Today, Gu Shennong sets up a stall, and those who are destined to get it.

So, he is not in a hurry.

The stall doors were all opened, and a white lantern was picked up and hung under the eaves outside the door, which meant that the roadside stall was officially open for business.

There was also a big black "Nong" character on the lantern, and the light illuminated a radius of twenty feet, comparable to an incandescent lamp, and could be seen from a long distance.

As for why the lantern was so bright, we could only ask the system.

After walking back to the counter and standing still, the two children had "read" the rules of the roadside stall in their consciousness. Their faces were full of incredible expressions, but their eyes were excited.

Xiaoman, who was still restless, whispered: "Shennong, can we find someone to exchange things?"

Gu Ke nodded: "Well, wait. I hope there will be a few customers tonight."

Xiaoman nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, there must be more."

Xiao Ping'er didn't speak, but her head nodded just as fast.

After half a cup of tea, the stall was quiet.

Xiaoman squatted down boredly and tapped the floor cracks: "Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

Gu Ke leaned against the counter calmly, his hands in a classic farmer's pocket: "Don't worry, those who are destined will come."

After almost half a cup of tea, Xiaoman was about to ask for the second time, but she heard a faint voice in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stood up and wanted to run to the door to check.

Gu Ke coughed lightly, and her leg that had just taken a step stopped immediately.

"Stand still, since the guests have come, they won't run away." He said so.

Then she heard a voice: "Hurry up, hurry up, the monster is chasing us."

"There are lanterns in front, in front, we have reached the village."

"Wait, are you stupid? Where did the lanterns in the village come from, and they are so bright?"

"Something is wrong, this is a weird thing, it must be a weird thing, don't go, go around and keep running."

A mess of shouting passed by more than ten feet away and quickly moved away.

Xiaoman and Xiaoping'er slowly turned their heads and looked at Gu Ke: ? ? ?

Gu Ke: ??? System, are you playing tricks on me!

But after a while, the voices and footsteps came back.

"The monster is too cunning and blocked the way back to the village."

"What should I do?"

"Go to the lantern. With the light, we can at least cut off a few of its roots."

"Are you crazy? A house popped up in the wild in the middle of the night. There must be a ghost."

"I'm not crazy. We can't escape if we continue like this. Don't forget that monsters and ghosts cannot coexist. Maybe they will fight first."

"Let's go. We can only gamble once."

Gu Ke: ??? I will lead you to fight? Don't come over!

He is not even an entry-level martial artist, and has never killed a ghost. What can he use to block it? Yes, yes, the system protects him.

His thoughts turned quickly, and his body was like an old tree with twisted roots, leaning against the counter without moving.

He couldn't be scared because there were two little girls standing next to him.

Well, it's just a projection, and he won't die. He can still rely on the protection of the system.

Some not-so-mighty and domineering thoughts were turning in his mind, and a group of people appeared in his peripheral vision.

The short part of the 乚-shaped counter was close to the door and parallel to the door, while the long part was perpendicular to the door. It was a typical old-fashioned counter.

So the farmer put his right face to the door.

The two children who had been reminded only turned their heads and stretched their necks to look outside without moving their bodies.

They could see each other, and the other party naturally saw them.

Soon, one of the ten people over there shouted: "People, it's people, not weird things."

"Idiot, there is no such hut during the day. It's over, we must have been confused by the weird fog illusion."

Then a rustling sound came from the darkness not far away.

The group of people looked tangled, but they couldn't help but retreat towards the door of the roadside stall.

To resist the monster, light is definitely better than no light.

If you don't retreat, you will die soon. If you retreat, you can at least struggle. Maybe the three weird things in the house are not in a hurry to attack.

Gu Ke was also speechless: System baby, can't you find a more reliable place for your projection? Setting up a stall in the wilderness in the middle of the night, are you afraid that you can't scare these people to death!

The system did not respond at all. It is not Siri. It will only give necessary prompts according to the established procedures.

The people outside the door retreated closer and closer, and the "monsters" they talked about also revealed a little clue.

Those were black roots as thick as goose eggs, constantly emerging from the ground and drilling into it. When they appeared again, they would move forward a long step.

As more than ten people retreated, the black roots became more and more, forming a semicircle and surrounding the door.

The group of people had no choice but to retreat into the roadside stall with almost despair on their faces.

They had seen clearly that two of the three weird things that looked like humans on the counter were staring at them straight.

There was great expectation in their eyes, expecting them to approach.

In fact, Xiaoman's face changed when she saw the three figures in the crowd, becoming excited and frightened.

She wanted to say something, but Gu Ke had already sensed it, and raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling her not to say anything.

At the same time, she noticed that he had already grasped the handle of the small hatchet in his other hand.

Xiaoman barely held back: Old Gu would not watch someone die without helping.

He didn't move, perhaps because of the timing.

Just like hunting, if you are a little impatient, the hunter may become the prey.

Patience is equally important in life and death.

When a group of people retreated in, even in front of him, black roots also crawled in along the threshold, as if a bunch of black long snakes were scurrying, disgusting and terrifying.

The next moment, Gu Ke suddenly stood up straight: "Welcome, may I ask what goods do you want to buy or sell?"

More than a dozen people who were tense were startled, and several of them almost threw their knives and forks.

After a few breaths, they understood what he meant and were stunned.

Gu Ke turned his head and looked at the door: "Oh, please wait a moment, guests. The shop has just opened, and dirty things have sneaked in. Let me clean it up."

Everyone: ? ? ?

Following his line of sight, they found that the large black vines at the door disappeared.

To be precise, it did not disappear, but suddenly turned into a black plant over six feet long. Its roots twisted, very similar to the black roots just now, but much smaller.

This plant is as thick as a bowl, with straight branches, more than ten large and sparse leaves, and a huge flower disk on the top - it turned out to be a sunflower.

It was pitch black, with only the seeds on the flower disk black and white, making up a ghost face.

At this moment, the ghost face seemed to have become a dull expression, and the flower disk turned left and right twice, looking very confused.

In fact, the ghost-faced sunflower demon was really confused: Isn't my real body still dozens of feet away? How did I suddenly come here? Why did I become a demon? Why did all this happen?

It couldn't figure out any of these questions.

Someone in the crowd cried out in surprise: "It's it, the man-eating flower demon."

Bang!

Gu Ke stepped on the ground with both feet, used the horse-running stake, jumped over the counter, and chopped down the small hatchet in his right hand.

This is not a knife technique.

It's just that after the sunflower demon was "pulled" in, the perception and affinity of plants at full power enveloped it.

He felt that it seemed to be easier than when he checked the wheat seedlings. Did he know how to harvest this "plant"?

Following his feelings, Gu Ke couldn't help swinging the hatchet.

The trajectory of the blade was like harvesting wheat stalks in a wheat field, very familiar, without any stagnation, and swept out diagonally.

However, facing the small hatchet, the ghost-faced sunflower demon felt that the black blade suddenly became infinitely large, covering the sky and the earth.

It just wanted to dodge, but a strong sense of intimacy inexplicably emerged in its consciousness, and its body involuntarily relaxed, and the demon blood in its body stagnated.

Swish!

The black blade went from top to bottom, back and forth, and flashed several times.

In the subtle sound of breaking wind, the creeping roots of the ghost-faced sunflower demon stopped.

The next moment, its flower disk tilted, and the long branches also broke into several sections and fell to the ground.

But before they landed, they disappeared without a trace.

The system prompts: "Kill the demon soldier ghost-faced sunflower demon, obtain the demon blood core, and automatically convert it into 24 soul sources."

"Obtained ghost-faced sunflower seeds 2, of ordinary quality, only allowed to be planted in special fields, and automatically stored in the warehouse."

Gu Ke: ? ? ? Killed it just like that? And it's a demon soldier? You are too embarrassing for the demon!
