A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"look familiar……?"

Fang Shiqing looked at the wobbly zombie.The face of this kind of thing is rotten and looks disgusting, so he has never observed it carefully.

Hearing what the boss said at this time, his first reaction was, maybe the appearance of the zombie monsters in this game is based on several fixed models?So they all look about the same.

That's a lot of cutting corners.If we can create such a large super-real world, can't we also randomly generate the monster's shape and appearance?

"Yes," Xiao Fengdi shook the zombie's face with a flashlight, "Don't you remember? You were caught by it on the first night of entering the game. Look, there is an exorcism incense on its face burn marks."

"What?!"

The zombie roared and charged towards them, Xiao Fengdi casually picked up a strong long branch from the ground, hit it accurately when it pounced on it, and pushed it not far away.

It kept thumping, trying to grab and bite Xiao Fengdi's hand, but it never thought of retreating or changing direction, so it was always held firmly in place.

Now that the distance between the two sides is very close, Fang Shiqing took a closer look at the rotten face, and found that the flesh on its face was extremely rolled up, and there were really faint burn marks on it.

He suddenly remembered: "Could this be the zombie that grabbed my foot that night?!"

On the night when he entered the game, he was obsessed with farming and forgot the time, which resulted in being chased and killed by zombies in his own farm—if Xiao Fengdi hadn't been there, he might have died on the spot and was out.

When escaping to the roof, a zombie once grabbed his ankle.At that time, it was the big guy who threw a spark from the incense stick in his hand, which burned the zombie's face and saved his life.

However, "If it's really the same one... Isn't this in line with the rules of the game?"

When the game needs a "monster" to "disappear", it will directly "equal to nothing" the variable representing it in the program—that is to say, no matter whether a zombie is defeated or hidden underground, it is essentially the same. It was "eliminated".

Even if the system generates exactly the same monster again in the future, it will only construct a new individual with the same code.What was reborn was a monster whose basic data was exactly the same as it, not itself.

However, even the wound on the face of this zombie is exactly the same as before-this is obviously against the rules of the game.

There was the sound of rustling mud turning around, and more zombies were coming out of the ground. The current situation was not suitable for a slow discussion and explanation.

After making sure that he had seen it clearly, Xiao Fengdi directly overturned the zombie, dragged him away.Soon they were on the road, leaving the roar of the zombies far behind.

Zombies crawl out of the mud, so they are mainly concentrated at the bottom of the mountain, and there are only a few scattered on the road.

At this time, countless illusory ghosts were scattered on the road, floating around aimlessly.

Fang Shiqing had seen this kind of ghosts before, they looked pale and blurry, with a cold aura around them, but they were not lethal.

Going east along the road, after about 10 minutes, the two returned to the map of Fengyue Town.

It was the first time for Fang Shiqing to hang out outside during this time period.

At this time, the main road of Fengyue Town looks like the scene of the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts.In addition to ghosts floating irregularly, there are many non-human creatures: a brown ball with only one eye, a five-legged human body, a dwarf without a mouth... and so on, all kinds of strange things, but these monsters are not aggressive. On the contrary, it is more afraid of humans, and even fled into the shadows of the roadside when they approached.

According to Xiao Fengdi, these are the so-called "spirits", that is, monsters born of nature.

Observing these strange creatures was actually quite interesting, but fearing that stronger ghosts might appear after nightfall, the two of them passed through this area quickly.

Xiao Fengdi left the main road ahead and turned onto a remote ramp.

Fang Shiqing had never traveled this road before. Considering that this big guy had a history of getting lost on someone else’s roof in a small town—although that was a thing of the past, he still checked the map and found that the direction was basically After being right, I followed with confidence.

Before he had gone far, Xiao Fengdi stopped, pushed aside the branches and leaves of the trees next to him, and suddenly saw a bright light ahead of him.

Fang Shiqing was surprised for a while.The highest point of this ramp is actually facing his farm!

Qingliang Farm is located at the lowest place in the town, surrounded by a circle of naturally formed highlands, and only two entrances and exits are opened on the east and south sides.

This ramp happens to lead to the high ground on the north side of the farm.Leaning out from here, the location is above his hut.

At this time, they were no more than two meters away from the roof of the hut, and they could directly land on the roof with just one jump forward.

"Boss," Fang Shiqing thought of something, "on the first day we entered the game, you probably ran to my roof from here, didn't you?"

"Yes." The other party actually admitted, "I just wanted to find a convenient place to observe."

Xiao Fengdi explained that the handbook for guiding players actually gave a brief introduction to several common occupations, among which the "farmer" is the most important one. After all, under this game system, farming is the most profitable business.

That's why he would step on the spot before meeting the players. ...although the end result is hard to describe.

It is not difficult for an adult male to jump over a distance of two meters.The two easily jumped onto the roof of the hut, and then descended from the roof to the ground, standing inside the white light barrier.

Countless zombies are still wandering around the farm, trying to shake the barrier.Monster groups cannot learn, they will never learn to give up.

Fang Shiqing rarely looked at these zombies carefully, thinking about the previous zombie.

Why does it appear on the mountain after being burned by exorcism incense?After thinking about it, he could only think that this was a clue deliberately set by the game system.

Does the system want to tell them that the same zombie can appear on the farm and on the mountain?Is this hinting at them?

Xiao Fengdi looked at the white light screen, and reached out his hand to touch the inside vaguely, as if testing its texture.He suddenly said: "Actually, that day was the first time I used this technique."

"--what?"

"Is this difficult to understand?" He said, "You should be able to see that this barrier has a very high standard. This technique was originally invented by ancient warlocks to protect the City Lord's Mansion or The general’s camp, to protect the most important people. It’s a peaceful age, there are so many zombies, and it’s usually not used at all. I just learned how to use it, and it was the first time I actually operated it that day.”

"Wow," Fang Shiqing sighed in bewilderment, "It will be successful the first time you use it, and you are also very powerful, big brother."

Xiao Fengdi looked at him and smiled faintly: "It's okay."

Under the flickering white light, the lines of his face are soft, and his eyes look extraordinarily gentle.

Fang Shiqing suddenly felt that he had been shaken, and turned his face away in a bit of embarrassment, muttering in his heart, a big boss is a big boss, from the superficial attributes (appearance) to the deep attributes (physical strength) are all off the charts, it is simply enviable Jealousy and hate.

He took two steps back in a concealed manner, and pushed open the door: "Um... Boss, do you want to come in and sit down?"

"No need," Xiao Fengdi said, "I'm leaving now."

Fang Shiqing opened his mouth, but still didn't hold back.It was already dark, and the other party had to walk a long way back to the library. Of course, the sooner he left, the more danger he could avoid.

For a moment, he really wanted to ask him to stay overnight.But after thinking about his small broken bed, which was only a little more than one meter long, he gave up the idea.

Although Xiao Fengdi always said that "[-] centimeters is enough", how could it be possible to rest well in a narrow space where it is difficult to turn over.

"Then, you have to be careful on the way back," Fang Shiqing said, rubbing the back of his head, "I'll go to He Xiangwu to deal with the chen sand mine tomorrow, and I'll bring it to you after it's done?"

At present, what he has mined is only ore, which cannot be used directly, and the skill of handling ore is only possessed by He Xiangwu, who is a blacksmith.

"Well," Xiao Fengdi nodded, and set off for the east exit. When he left the barrier, he waved at him without looking back, "Go back quickly, see you in two days."

Fang Shiqing kept looking at his back until he was completely hidden in the darkness.

He felt vaguely uncomfortable.This feeling is hard to describe, as if something is wrong, but it is impossible to find out the source of the problem.

It was as if something had developed in a way that was beyond his common sense.

The next day was still a sunny day.

Fang Shiqing got up early in the morning, released the chickens that were usually confined in the chicken coop, let them peck worms and grass seeds in the weeds to eat, and took the little lamb that had been confined in the utility room for a day outside. .

When the weather is good, you can let the animals look for food outside, which can save some feed, and is also good for the physical and mental health of the animals.

The lamb was still trembling in his arms, but it behaved extraordinarily well-behaved, and was able to eat some specially picked young leaves in his palm.

——Actually, it’s quite cute when it’s awake, Fang Shiqing thought.

Xiao Hei leaned close to his feet, whining in favor, and he picked up a branch from time to time and threw it out, and let it pick it up, and repeated this several times.

He checked his skill bar, and now the animal husbandry skill upgrade progress bar has reached more than 60.00%, and the collection has been upgraded before entering the second book, and it is steadily increasing towards the third level——

No matter digging ore, or collecting wood and ingredients in daily life, it is counted as a kind of gathering behavior, and corresponding experience points can be obtained.

In comparison, the planting skills that have been stuck at 1% so far are really pitiful-but there is no rush.

Fang Shiqing heaved a heavy sigh when he thought of the army of zombies that prevented him from planting.

In all fairness, it's not that they haven't brought benefits to the farm...at least the weed growth on the farm has been effectively curbed, and most of the fields have been turned over, and the hoe is less used when trying to sow seeds.

However, this is of little use if the seed cannot be planted at all.

After a while, he put the lamb aside and let it run around the farm, while he started heading south, all the way out of the farm.

There is no purpose, just want to pass the early morning time.

Although he wanted to bring the cinnabar to He Xiangwu right away, it was too early to visit him now.

Unexpectedly, after walking around like this, he unexpectedly ran into... You Qingyu on the small road not far from the farm.

"—Good morning, Shiqing."

You Qingyu stopped, stretched out his hand to greet him, his voice was panting.She was wearing a gray sportswear, with sweat dripping from her forehead. Judging from her posture, she should be... running?

"Are you doing morning exercises?" Fang Shiqing asked suspiciously.

"That's right," You Qingyu said calmly, "I've been thinking since I came back from the last dungeon, I'm really too weak, and I'm the worst of all in terms of physical strength and stamina. It will definitely hold everyone back even more.”

So she just started working out?

"But, is exercising in the game useful?" Fang Shiqing glanced at his status bar, and confirmed that the upper limit of physical strength and health value is fixed.

Everyone in reality has unlimited possibilities and can exercise any aspect of ability, but game characters can only exercise a few items that have been set in advance.

"At least my exercise is definitely useful," You Qingyu said with a smile, "My stamina attribute can be upgraded."

Fang Shiqing was a little envious.What You Qingyu took is likely to be a game script similar to "Model Life", which has a lot of attributes and skills that can be learned. Unlike him, most of the attributes are fixed from the beginning.

The two chatted a little bit about the recent situation, You Qingyu said, I don't know why her NPC aunt suddenly figured it out, not only didn't ask her for money these days, but also planned to go out to work to make money by herself.

When she mentioned this, she was obviously very happy. It was not purely because she would be able to spend less in the future, but more because that person finally started to make progress.

"It's strange to say," she said with emotion, "Knowing that she is an NPC, a dummy, and living under the same roof with her for a long time, I still have some feelings for her."

"Me too," Fang Shiqing said lightly, "I have slept in a farm cabin with fresh air for a long time, and I don't want to go back to the rented house in reality."

You Qingyu didn't pay attention to his words, but Fang Shiqing felt a little bitter in his heart.

He still vaguely expects to be freed, to stay here, to become an NPC who doesn't have to think about anything, but intellectually it is impossible to do so anymore.Because—someone had once risked his life for his survival.

If he died too easily, wouldn't the efforts and adventures of others be for naught?

Even if it's just to make the experience of life and death worthwhile, he must live well and end the game smoothly.

After talking for a while, You Qingyu continued to run along the road, and Fang Shiqing also continued to walk towards the lake.He planned to detour into the town by the lake and go straight to the blacksmith's shop.

There was another layer of mist on the lake, which looked very beautiful.There seemed to be a black shadow swaying in the mist, and it disappeared in a flash.

He rubbed his eyes and walked towards the lake.

The mist dispersed a little, and he suddenly saw a person sitting on a stone by the lake, with his back turned to this side.
