A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"……what?"

Fang Shiqing was stunned with his mouth open.He touched the back of his head and asked doubtfully, "Is it possible? I seemed to come down straight away just now?"

"..." The other party stared at him wordlessly.

He looked at the pile of timbers, then stepped on them and followed the same path back to the roof again.When he tried to jump directly from the eaves, a prompt sounded in his mind: "This operation is not possible, please find another way!"

There really is such a thing!Fang Shiqing looked at the height from the ground and found that it was about three or four meters, so he said, "It's probably a little too high here."

After all, in some games, no matter how active the male protagonist is, he may die directly when he accidentally falls from the second floor—no matter how real this place is, it is still a game after all, so this kind of The setting of "cannot jump directly from a high place" is not incomprehensible.However, if there is something to step on——

He tried to step on the log pile again, and this time he climbed back to the ground without any problems.He quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Boss, why don't you try stepping on something like me?"

Xiao Fengdi had been staring at him all the time, so his actions were almost imprinted in his mind.It was said that he also went to the top of the wood pile and tried to jump down, and then his face froze.

"……Or not."

He squatted down on the side in frustration, and scratched his hair irritably, with an uncontrollable frustration on his face, but he looked much more amiable than before.

"At first I thought it was only possible to go down from a specific position," he said, "but...you can go down when you are facing the same position, why can't I move?"

A capable person who can easily deal with zombies is stuck on the roof - Fang Shiqing thinks this is a bit funny.But in the face of other people's real troubles, he was too embarrassed to laugh out loud, so he had to try his best to help him think.

He observed the pile of wood and found that the height difference between the upper and lower stacks was about one meter, and he suddenly had an idea.

"Er...you don't jump directly on the log. You step on the higher pile first, and then try to jump on the lower one, like me."

"Does that make any difference?"

Although he said so without hope, the other party stood up and followed his words, as if he was a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

——However, this time he stepped down in one step and stood directly on the height of the wood pile.

Things became so easy, he was stunned instead.Fang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his hair embarrassingly, and said with a chuckle: "Some games are like this, they just don't allow players to reach their destination in one step, and they have to go step by step in order."

Xiao Fengdi jumped down with a dark face, apparently very unhappy with this rigid system.

"In short, thank you," he wiped his right hand on his chest, and the front of the incense stick in his lapel immediately lit up, "I'm leaving. Don't forget to ask people to gather in the library tomorrow."

"No no, you saved my life, I should be the one to say thank you... Ah, uh, boss, why don't you come in and sit down?"

He didn't feel it just now, but now that the other party said he was going to leave, he looked at the zombies with green eyes not far away, and he was terrified.

"No," Xiao Fengdi glanced at him and said, "These zombies will appear every night from now on, you'd better get used to them as soon as possible. There are still more scary things waiting for you."

"……what?!"

Leaving behind a meaningful sentence, he ignored Fang Shiqing, and strode into the darkness on his own.In the beginning, a few zombies roared and rushed towards him, but he just casually brushed the incense sticks in front of his lapel, and they immediately retreated as if they were facing an enemy.

...It really is amazing!

Fang Shiqing sighed sincerely, wondering if this man might be using some script of exorcising ghosts from a celestial master, right?

Seeing those zombies ruined the radish field, they came back to circle the house again, and he hurriedly wanted to hide indoors.

"……Hey."

Suddenly there was a faint voice in the darkness.Fang Shiqing was so frightened that he jumped into the door, and when he poked his head out to look out, he found that it was Xiao Fengdi who went back for some reason and was standing not far away with a sullen face.

"What, what's wrong?" He asked tremblingly.

"Uh, your name is Fang... Shiqing, right?"

"Ah, yes. Boss, you can just call me Xiaofang." He nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Fengdi ignored him.He looked struggling, and after a while he asked with difficulty: "Do you have a map of this town? Can you lend me a look... I don't seem to know the way."

His face was a little embarrassed, and it could be seen that he was not used to this kind of behavior of asking for help.

"Yes, but..." Fang Shiqing rubbed his hands, a little hesitant, "Isn't the map bound to the system, everyone has it? Boss, didn't you receive it when you first entered the game? "

"Received." Xiao Fengdi's face became more and more ugly, "But after reading the announcement, it disappeared."

Fang Shiqing understood, and suddenly felt a little helpless: "Well, look at the side of the item bar, next to the pile of empty frames at the bottom. Is there a circular icon marked with an 'M'? Click it and try it out? "

The other party did as he said, and then froze for a while.

"..."

"..."

The scene became very embarrassing for a while.

"...I'm leaving." The other party turned around silently.

Unexpectedly, this boss can easily chase zombies, but he seems to know nothing about the basic operation of the game... Fang Shiqing thought so, of course he didn't dare to say anything, and quickly waved his hands obediently.

"Goodbye, big brother, thank you tonight!"

■

"—that's how it is."

After finishing the last sentence weakly, Fang Shiqing covered his mouth and yawned.Following his movements, the large bouquet of flowers held in his arms trembled slightly.

It's around eight o'clock in the morning, and he is sitting on the bench next to the bulletin board. He has just finished telling the other five players what happened last night.

"This, this is too unbelievable." After a while, the timid girl named Zeng Xin said tremblingly, "There are, there are really zombies? I just said it casually yesterday, how could it be true? Yes?"

"I didn't expect it would really happen," Fang Shiqing covered his face, "No wonder the announcement told us to stay in the house at night and close the doors and windows."

Except for his stupidity, everyone else locked the door early as stated in the announcement, and nothing happened overnight.

"Could it be that you made this up to deceive people?" He Xiangwu questioned, "Didn't you emphasize that this is a simulation game yesterday, who simulates business games with zombies?"

This man really can't speak.Fang Shiqing's face immediately collapsed: "Why am I lying to you? Didn't you see that I have dark circles under my eyes?" He pointed at his face, "Last night the farm was full of zombies howling, I couldn't sleep at all. Also," he stretched out his hand, showing the healed small incision on his middle finger, and then lifted up his trousers to show others his bruised ankle, "It was cut by that knife last night, here is Got ripped off by zombies."

He didn't sleep at night, and his health value didn't recover, so the wounds all over his body didn't heal.

"Who knows what you want to do!" He Xiangwu has a bad temper. After being retorted, instead of reflecting on it, he exploded and slapped Fang Shiqing's hand, "What kind of evidence is this? You said there were zombies, but others Why didn't I see anything, you just happened to meet? I saw you as suspicious yesterday, as suspicious as this broken game!"

His fingers almost poked Fang Shiqing's face, and he flinched in fright.He Xiangwu was much taller and stronger than him, and if there was a fight, he would definitely be the one who was pressed and beaten.

"Calm down!" Zhao Jun stopped him, "This game is so inexplicable that everyone is very irritable, but we can't just mess things up without knowing everything."

"but--"

"I think what he said is true," Gu Jinhong who was standing behind said abruptly, "Last night... I seem to have seen the seventh player he said."

Everyone looked at him immediately, he nodded calmly and said, "I couldn't sleep last night. While I was standing at the window smoking a cigarette, I saw a man who was very similar to his description walking by. That man There are red light spots flashing in this place, I thought it was an NPC who was smoking like me, but now that I think about it, it should be the few burning sticks he mentioned." He said on the chest I made a gesture.

"Uh...do you still smoke?"

"Why can't I smoke?" Gu Jinhong asked in surprise.He Xiangwu was speechless.

"Don't you think that Fang Shiqing is not the one who is really suspicious, but the seventh person?" You Qingyu, who has been silent today, said in time, "As for the specifics, don't you go to the library to find out."

After she finished speaking, she turned around first and walked northeast.From the map, the library occupies a large and conspicuous space in the northeast corner of the town.

"You really plan to go?" He Xiangwu was shocked, "Why do we have to go if he tells us to go?"

"But there is really no other way," Zhao Jun persuaded, "Now is not the time to be angry, maybe the seventh person can tell us what is going on in this game."

Zeng Xin followed You Qingyu directly, followed by Fang Shiqing and Gu Jinhong.Later, Zhao Jun finally persuaded He Xiangwu, and the group of people managed to unify their opinions, and rushed to the library one after another.

Gu Jinhong passed by Fang Shiqing, and looked curiously at the large bouquet of wild flowers he was holding in his arms.

"You picked this?"

This buddy helped him out just now, and Fang Shiqing had a good impression of him, so he replied with a smile: "Yes, whether you can make a fortune or not depends entirely on it."

"Can't this kind of flower be stored in the inventory?"

"Yes, but," Fang Shiqing looked at the item bar in front of him, "I don't have any space left."

When he came to the central square this morning, he deliberately brought a hoe, and chose a relatively long way around the lake from the south, picking a bunch of wild flowers along the way, and more importantly, I also dug a lot of wild vegetables along the way.

Spring is the season for digging wild vegetables, and the environment in the game is very suitable for plant growth.Referring to the "Picking Chapter" in the "Operation Manual", he dug along the way, and it didn't take long to fill up the narrow prop column.

Similar items can be combined in one grid, but the varieties of these wild vegetables are different, including shepherd's purse, Chinese toon, and purslane... so they must be placed separately.After he ran out of available props, he had no choice but to hold the wild flowers he picked later.

"Picking" is one of the necessary earning skills when running a farm, just like "planting" and "livestock husbandry". Although the income is not as good as the latter two, the advantage is that it does not require upfront investment. With a hoe, Fang Shiqing is left with nothing but pitiful Xi’s 10 yuan—it cost 480 yuan to buy seeds yesterday, and 10 yuan to eat breakfast this morning. I have to find some ways to save capital without capital and profit.

The library is a large building with a very simple appearance. The exterior wall is so beautiful that it may even be mistaken for a noble mansion at first glance.At this time, the double doors were wide open, and there was a person standing quietly at the door.
