A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"—Ah?" Fang Shiqing opened his mouth blankly, "This...here, do you still need tools to deal with zombies?"

"Otherwise, do you want me to tear zombies with my hands?"

Xiao Fengdi glanced at him.Fang Shiqing choked for a moment, wanted to cry but had no choice but to apologize obediently.

"I'm sorry, sir, I was stupid," he put the borrowed book and wild flowers into his arms dejectedly, "I've caused you trouble."

Fang Shiqing sorted out the wild flowers in his hand as he walked out, and when he reached the door, he gave a few of them to the little girl who was playing at the door.The latter immediately smiled, said "Thank you big brother" with a smile, and bowed seriously.

The children in the game are all lively and cute, and everyone likes it.Xiao Fengdi followed behind out of the library gate. He was standing at the door stretching his muscles, and his expression softened a little when he saw this.

"The children here are really courageous. Didn't the family teach them not to take things from strangers? What if they run into bad people?"

Unexpectedly, the little girl said with a smile: "It's okay, big brother is not a stranger, isn't he the new farmer at the farm in the west? I went to see it with my father the day he got off the train."

"Really?" Fang Shiqing remembered what the mayor said when he first came here, and suddenly became interested, pointing to Xiao Fengdi and asked, "What about him, do you know him?"

The little girl tilted her head and looked at him like a fool: "We are all from the same town, how could we not know each other, isn't he the brother of the library? Every time I borrow a book, I have to look for him."

It seems that the foreign players seem to have their own personalities in the game, and they are perfectly integrated into the environment with this set of personalities - just like playing role-playing.

The little girl happily ran away with the flowers, saying that she wanted to take them home and put them in a vase.

Fang Shiqing thought for a while, tied a few wild flowers together, and handed them to Xiao Fengdi.The latter was startled, and immediately took a step back and said vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

...Boss, just now the little girl didn't put on such a posture.

Fang Shiqing's face was full of black lines, and he said: "Boss, if you don't mind, you can also take a few flowers and put them in the house? I remember that there are also vases in the library, which can be used to arrange flowers. In the game, flowers are placed in the house It seems to be able to eliminate the fatigue value."

"……Oh."

Xiao Fengdi turned his head to hide his embarrassment, and said after a pause, "I originally thought that you picked these flowers to exchange for money."

"I originally wanted to sell it," Fang Shiqing didn't notice the other party's uneasiness for a moment, but said depressedly, "but I just looked at the price list of the collection and found that the selling price of this flower is zero—that is, one yuan You can’t exchange them, you can only put them on display.”

"..."

Fang Shiqing sighed while looking at the item column: "And the wild vegetables are not very valuable, a piece is only 20 to 40 game coins, I dug up the entire item column, and in the end I can only exchange more than 300 yuan... Alas," he said melancholy Sighing, "It's really slow to make money by picking. With such a small amount of money, I don't know if 200 million will be saved until the year of the monkey. But the cost of animal husbandry is too high, and the planting industry can't be done, and there is nothing else. Solution. Besides, wild vegetables are gone after digging, and I don’t know how often they can be refreshed, and then I have to find other collection items..." He suddenly found that the other party was looking at him strangely, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that your psychological quality is a bit too good," Xiao Fengdi said silently, "Actually, although all the tools I brought in have been used up, the same things may not be impossible to find in the game world. .I’ve already seen that common items such as cinnabar are actually sold in convenience stores—”

"Really?!" Fang Shiqing jumped up suddenly, his eyes sparkled, "Then I'll go buy it right away! Boss, wait for me here for a while, and I'll bring it to you right away!"

"—However, one copy costs 2000 yuan."

Xiao Fengdi made gestures with one hand slowly, "For such a big small bag, 2000 yuan is probably only enough to draw one-fifth of the magic circle that day."

■

Reluctantly, Fang Shiqing went to the convenience store to ask around, and found that what Xiao Fengdi said was indeed true.Not only cinnabar, but also painted talismans, peace talismans and various statues of patron saints are sold in the store, all of which are priced at astonishing prices ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands.

Although he knew that the logic of reality cannot be compared with reality in the game, Fang Shiqing still asked the clerk behind the counter unwillingly: "Excuse me, uh, why is there a talisman here?"

It seemed impolite to casually ask someone about the source of their goods, so he took a roundabout way.

When I came here yesterday, the owner of the small shop was a gentle middle-aged uncle, but today he is not in the shop, and it is his young son who looks after the shop.

In the simulation business game, there seems to be a practice of "the middle-aged store manager always has a young and beautiful daughter".Although the store manager gave birth to a son, the son was beautiful and delicate, not at all like a thick-skinned father, who stood there like a doll. When he came here for the first time, Fang Shiqing even Thought the other party was a beauty in men's clothing.

The small shop owner was about the same age as Fang Shiqing, and seemed to have a good impression of him. He was not angry when he was asked such a question, but just smiled and said, "Are you the new owner of the ranch in the west? I heard that you just arrived in the past two days. Come to the town, you probably don't know the situation in our Fengyue Town?"

He looks prettier than girls when he smiles.Fang Shiqing quickly responded with a smile: "Yes, I'm not sure. Is this a specialty of our Fengyue Town?"

"No, these are all made to order from the neighboring town. But we need these things here. You will understand after a few days," the young man came out from behind the counter, took a safe talisman and handed it to him, "This is for you."

"--Hey?"

Seeing the young man tearing off the thousands of dollars tag on it neatly, Fang Shiqing was so frightened that he hurriedly refused: "This, this is a bit embarrassing..."

"You're welcome, you've just arrived in town not long ago, so this should be my greeting." The young man narrowed his eyes and smiled, thrusting the amulet into his hand, and suddenly said meaningfully, "I really hope you You can stay longer—if you want to stay in that ranch, you must remember to lock the doors and windows at night and go to sleep early."

"Stay longer...? Does it mean that someone left before not staying long?"

Fang Shiqing shivered, and hurriedly asked.Fortunately, the teenager seems to be very happy to share gossip.

"To tell you the truth, before you, the ranch has changed owners three times," he said, holding his chin, "every owner moved away after staying for less than a month, and one even got sick. In the end, they could only be carried away by family members... Perhaps they are not used to the environment of our Fengyue Town? Your grandfather must have thought so, so he finally left it to you who are related by blood. I really hope you can always Keep going, I heard that the ranch used to be very prosperous and prosperous."

...After being told in this way, Fang Shiqing didn't dare to refuse anymore, so he could only stuff the peace talisman into his arms.

Then he sold all the wild vegetables in the inventory on the spot, and he immediately had an extra 360 yuan.

During the whole day after that, Fang Shiqing was busy digging up wild vegetables, making his body covered in mud.Every time he fills up the prop bar, he has to go back to the farm and throw all the dug results in the "cargo box".

The so-called "cargo box" is a large box placed in a corner of the farm. It looks ordinary on the surface, but in fact it is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled no matter how many things are thrown into it.No matter what it is, once it is thrown in, it is impossible to take it out again; and the goods thrown in will be automatically converted into corresponding money through the system settlement at the end of each day.

However, the total amount of wild vegetables is limited after all, and it becomes more and more difficult to find them later; in the late afternoon, there are almost no ones that can be collected.When the sun was setting, he fled back to the hut in a hurry and locked all the doors and windows firmly.

It was getting dark outside a little bit, and a gloomy mist enveloped the whole farm; the low roar of zombies began to be heard from a distance.After the moon came out, I saw stiff and corrupt figures hovering repeatedly among the layers of tree shadows. It looked like a horror movie set.

Fang Shiqing sat on a chair, waiting for the system to refresh the mud on his body, while looking at the books borrowed from the library, and at the same time called up his status bar to check.

Below the status bar that reads "Current Status: Farmer", four different entries are displayed, namely planting, animal husbandry, crafting, and collection, followed by an upgrade progress percentage.Through the introduction of the "Management Manual", Fang Shiqing knew that these are the several skills he possesses in this profession. When he is engaged in related work, he will get the experience value of the corresponding skill; It will evolve and improve the corresponding ability.

At present, all his skill bars are white—that is, the lowest level. As for experience, only the progress of picking has barely advanced to [-]%.I don't know how long I have to hone it if I want to upgrade.

However, Fang Shiqing didn't feel that the future was bleak, but felt very at ease about his progress.In fact, he thinks that the method of clearly marking the current progress in digital form in the game is very good, much better than reality: no matter how hard you exercise in reality, it is impossible to immediately know how much you have improved. If the game has immediate results, you can see the experience value increase immediately after the busy work.

That's one of the reasons he loves playing games.

He stood up and stretched himself, walked to the window, and looked at the lingering shadows from a distance.

After nightfall, the layer of faint white light surrounding the house also emerged, covering the surroundings just like yesterday.With that layer of "enchantment" protection, the zombies didn't dare to approach at all, at most they could only growl uneasily towards this side.

The interior is far brighter than the outside, and if you want to see the outside, you have to put your face closer to the glass.Fang Shiqing took a closer look, and then planned to lower the curtain next to him.

However, at this moment, on the window in front of him——suddenly, there was a cracking sound.

A blood-red palm print suddenly pressed against the glass, and a few streams of red liquid slowly slid down the glass surface, pulling into long and thin blood lines.At the same time, a pale face appeared on the opposite side, looking at him quietly through the window—almost face to face.

It was a woman's face.The eye sockets are black, and the dark red tongue sticks out of the mouth; the face is so white that it turns blue, and the blood-red eyes are wide open, and because the distance is too close, it can almost reflect his shadow.

"Wow!"

Fang Shiqing fell backwards with a strange cry, and tore off the curtain in a panic.The curtain hooks here are made of plastic, and they are almost old. They snapped when pulled hard, and a large piece of curtain fell directly on his face.

When he finally opened the curtain and got out, the pale face had disappeared.Only the bloody handprints on the window remained, proving that everything just now was not an illusion...
