eternal glory

The thin boy lowered his head, his hair was too long, his face was covered and his expression couldn't be seen, but he could see that he opened his mouth but didn't speak, he didn't dare to look at Liu Zhe.

"I'm asking you something, why are you here?" Liu Zhe's voice showed impatience.The good mood of shopping today just dissipated completely.

"I... work." Without confidence, he quickly walked past Mu Ning and Liu Zhe, lifted a heavy box from the carriage, and walked in with his head down. He turned his body sideways, deliberately turning his back on the two of them.

Mu Ning and Liu Zhe were standing next to Xiao Yezhong, who looked like bean sprouts, carrying the heavy wine box in his arms, and neither of them had any intention of helping.

"You can be recruited as a coolie at the age of ten, and people work hard to make money now." Mu Ning smiled and ran on Liu Zhe.

"No... don't worry about it!" Xiao Yezhong rushed out of the door, and yelled at Mu Ning like a puppet: "It's none of your business, I voluntarily, you go!" Big drops of sweat ran down his cheeks, he squeezed his sleeves and wiped them casually, still staring at Mu Ning fiercely, as if he was about to jump over and bite Mu Ning in the next moment.

"I'm not interested in disturbing your work." Mu Ning stood aside indifferently. This is Liu Zhe's business. He reminded him that he had fulfilled his obligation, and there was nothing more.

Liu Zhe stopped Xiao Yezhong, who was about to open his mouth to yell, with his eyes, and asked him, "Didn't you go home? I gave you a lot of money last time."

"..." Xiao Yezhong lowered his head again.

"I'm asking you something, you'd better not use this attitude."

"The money was robbed by the stinky bitch and beat me..." He couldn't continue.

Liu Zhe sneered: "Really?" He looked at Xiao Yezhong playfully.

The child seemed to have been humiliated, blushing and yelling, "I don't want your stinky money anymore, I don't want your fake kindness! Get out!" Seeing that Liu Zhe wouldn't go away, he angrily put the heavy box on the ground , yelling and rushed over to try to push Liu Zhe, but was grabbed by Liu Zhe, unable to move no matter how hard he struggled, yelling and shouting, cursing to the extreme.

Mu Ning felt so ashamed that a large group of people bullied children on the street. He felt that he must not have read the almanac when he went out today. What the hell is going on.

It's not that Liu Zhe can't hear the scolding, and it's not that he doesn't know that the child regrets it after he swears, but in order not to lose his momentum, he can only speak louder in embarrassment. He regrets talking to the little bastard with that tone and expression. , He felt ashamed to face a child with that attitude.

"You said you didn't want to see me, so why did you come here?" Liu Zhe softened his tone and said complainingly: "If you curse again, you will never want to call brother again in your life."

With just this one sentence, Xiao Yezhong slammed on the brakes as if someone had covered his mouth, and the yelling and cursing that had been crying all disappeared like snow.

After struggling for a few times and unable to get free, he bit his upper lip so hard that he almost bled.

Don't cry, no matter how much you cry, no one will pity you.

When you cry, they laugh and laugh louder.

He felt aggrieved for no reason, as if someone had bullied him, his eyes were sore, but he didn't dare to bow his head, he was afraid that tears would roll down and make him ashamed.

"There are so many things, why do you have to move them by yourself?" Liu Zhe didn't want to make people cry, so he turned around and pretended not to see the water droplets that ran across his cheeks and landed on the stone slab.

"Also... There is one more person, go pee, let me move first." He was very quiet, afraid that Liu Zhe would laugh at him for being stupid, and being young doesn't mean he didn't understand what happened. Throw it all to him.

He could obviously scold the grandson's whole family, and then gritted his teeth and moved all the boxes, but he himself didn't know why he would say such a sentence, which even he himself felt weak and ashamed of.

Liu Zhe's pretty brows were tightened. It's normal to urinate while working, but playing this trick with a ten-year-old child is nothing like shit.

"Ning Ning, hold him well, you can strangle him, but you can't escape." Liu Zhe stuffed the little prisoner into Mu Ning's hands. In the past, I stretched out my arms, picked up two boxes from left to right, and walked in, but I didn't feel embarrassed to say it.

As soon as Liu Zhe walked away from Xiao Yezhong, his weakness disappeared, and the fierce light in his eyes flickered, and the meaning was very clear: "You'd better stop meddling in Lao Tzu's business!"

Mu Ning smiled, and changed the position of the hand that was holding the arm. Xiao Yezhong was as honest as a kitten in an instant, without struggling at all, because Mu Ning pinched the neck.

Others would definitely not dare to kill people in the street, but when Mu Ning smiled just now, his eyes were terrified, and Xiao Yezhong was not sure, so he never dared to do it again.

Liu Zhe ran a dozen times in a row, moved everything in threes and fives, and the truck driver who had been urinating for a long time really appeared. Kicked the person upside down and flew out, rolled four or five times on the stone slab, and couldn't even howl even if he clutched his stomach.

Xiao Yezhong was taken aback and looked at Liu Zhe in horror. Liu Zhe stood in place and slowly adjusted his clothes before handing him back from Mu Ning: "If you dare to run, I will give you a kick."

Liu Zhe's words had no deterrent effect. He didn't believe that he would really get kicked if he ran away?

Of course, he doesn't know whether Liu Zhe will kick or not, but the one next to him will definitely kick, and it will be very ruthless. This intuition comes from the child's instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. He has saved him countless times, and this time is no exception.

"Can we escort him back to your home for interrogation?" Liu Zhe asked for Mu Ning's opinion, but Mu Ning was noncommittal.

The little porter of XX Liquor Industry was escorted to the parking lot by two unscrupulous high school students, stuffed into the car and taken back to the den of thieves.

"What's his name?" Mu Ning whispered, biting his ear, "I can't just call you Xiaoza...so what?"

"My name is Nian Hu'er." The child in the back seat spoke directly. For the first time, Mu Ning hated Liu Zhe's car was too nice and quiet, so that the dog's ears could hear clearly.It's not that Nian Hu'er never thought of taking the opportunity to scold Mu Ning bloody, but Mu Ning only glanced at him in the rearview mirror, and he quickly extinguished this immature thought.

The car enters the yard and parks directly in the spacious garage around a circular arc. The small garden along the road is full of flowers and plants. Mu Ning stretched his waist to be comfortable and threw himself on the couch in the living room, hugging him softly. Lying on the dead body with pillows, the early morning sun shines on him through the window, it is very warm and comfortable.

Liu Zhe pulled Xiao Ye... Oh no, Nian Hu'er said that I will take you upstairs first. If there is a bathroom, you can take a shower first, and put on my clothes first, and wipe yours by the way...put the clothes in the washing machine wash.

It was rare for Nian Hu'er to hear Liu Zhe talk to him calmly, and looked at Liu Zhe suspiciously. Liu Zhe impatiently kicked his ass, so he ran into the bathroom cursing and relieved.

Liu Zhe went to hold Mu Ning's head and put it on his lap. Mu Ning narrowed his eyes and chose a comfortable position, and continued to take a nap.

Liu Zhe stared at the corner of his mouth, all he thought was that if he bent down, he would be able to kiss him...

"Why are you so stupid?" Mu Ning opened his eyes and saw Liu Zhe swallowing thirstily.

"..."

Liu Zhe blushed from embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject: "Why didn't you ask me why I brought him back?"

"Okay, why did you bring him back?" Mu Ning closed his eyes and smiled, making Liu Zhe's heart itch again.

"I want to find someone to teach him basic reading and writing, and then force him to learn a little bit of crafts to make a living, at least not to continue wandering in the future..." Liu Zhe paused: "It's not just because he has a relationship with me , but also because I want to try to make a change now."

"?"

"I... didn't you say that my methods are too tough, I feel it myself, it's really not good."

Mu Ning understood. He told Liu Zhe what Liu Zhe did in his previous life. It was too sinister. Liu Zhe discovered the problem himself, and now he wants to change it.

Since Liu Zhe wants to change, he is also willing to do something: "You don't need to ask others to teach you how to read, read and make a living." After the tenth-level version is opened, he will be sent to the academy to learn the basic knowledge of the real world, and at least five years after the two worlds are connected, he will no longer have to worry about food and clothing."

"Is this...reliable?" Liu Zhe was a little moved when he heard it.

"His wild dog personality is very easy to mix with NPCs. Besides, he plays games in deep sleep at night, and you can force him to learn things when he is awake during the day." In Mu Ning's view, this trivial matter couldn't be simpler. Don't bother at all.

"That's fine, let's do it like this." Liu Zhe made a final decision, arbitrarily deciding Nian Hu'er's fate.

Wearing a large T-shirt and shorts, when Mu Ning stuffed him into the game cabin, Nian Hu'er was as frightened as he was in a gas chamber. He didn't believe that killing God with a smile was a good intention, especially Mu Ning. Tell him, "You may die slowly if you go in, and you will die immediately if you don't go in. Our small garden is short of fertilizer."

"Ning Ning doesn't care about cursing, don't worry about children." Liu Zhe let him try to link the game and enter the world of eternal glory.

Half an hour later, Nian Hu'er from the game room was called out. Xiao Za Mao's eyes lit up, and he danced and told the two of his incredible experiences.

"Did you go to Whistler Duolu Province as I told you?" Liu Zhe still felt that it would be better to take care of him closer. After Nian Hu'er has a little ability to take care of himself, no one cares about where he likes to go.

"Yes, I'm in Lava Village." The little miscellaneous hairy Nianhu'er was very honest this time, and answered very simply.

"The volcanic area in Duolu Province is not far from us, and it's only half a day's journey." Mu Ning felt lucky: "It's almost time, let's all play the game." Then he went back to his room with Liu Zhe, and entered their respective game warehouses .

Nian Hu'er's game room is in the guest room. Before Mu Ning starts school, he temporarily rents it here. After school starts, Liu Zhe will find another way.

Liu Zhe was very grateful for Mu Ning's offer of help. In any case, Ning Ning's support for him was worth a thousand words.

In Jurong Town, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant in the early morning, and the rose bushes outside the hotel exude a faint and sweet fragrance. fiery red pheasant.

The bird's tail feathers are long and slender, and it sways beautifully when it walks around. The golden flame-like crest on its head is even more eye-catching. At first glance, it looks like a golden pheasant in Pudding Cat's garden.

It has become a lot more courageous recently, and it likes to wander around the village after its bright voice crows in the morning.

Aunt Jin looked at it with the eyes of a connoisseur and said that this kind of bird looks beautiful, but in fact it has little meat and cannot make a plate.

Liu Zhe was sweating profusely: "Aunt Jin, this bird is raised by Pudding Cat, and she will never be happy if you want it to be stewed in a pot."

Aunt Jin was stunned for a moment and immediately changed her words and said that the chicken was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to eat it.While speaking, he removed the basket trap that was originally intended to hold chickens.

Do you think NPCs will have leisure and elegance to feed the birds?Do not be silly.

Luhua's friend left after all, leaving Luhua sitting in the blacksmith's shop in a daze, not forging, just silent by the anvil.

"Tsk tsk, why don't you always say 'youthful feelings are always poetry'?" Liu Zhe was in a daze, holding the diary to take photos for Luhua, and showing off to Mu Ning after taking the photo: "Ningning, look at this artistic conception, isn't it beautiful? Beauty, is sadness sad?"

Mu Ning went to the PK waiting room alone, and it was still a life and death arena.

All the players who can still hang out in the arena of life and death in the human kingdoms, most of them have a set of green-grade jewelry, and Mu Ning wants to know the source of them.Yes, it was all his fault.

Jewelry is indeed very useful for players, and the effect is obvious. It directly improves the combat effectiveness of several levels, but it is not enough to meet Mu Ning.

Mu Ning turned his opponent upside down like chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly got out of the waiting room. At this time, Pudding Cat entered the door holding a notebook and began to fill in the records.

"Father, our team has already arrived. We can reach level five within a week or so at most. Also, Aishwarya will be here at noon today. Except for Yueshuer above, our team has already assembled."

"Pudin cat, can your senior group stuff in another one?" Mu Ning asked Pudding cat.

"Huh? There are still old people coming to our village?" Pudding Cat is very strange, I haven't heard of it.

"No, a small one, ten years old." Mu Ning thought for a while and said, "The personality is not very good, it may be a bit difficult to deal with, you can fight whatever you want."

"This... is fine, leave it to me." One sheep is herding, and a group of sheep is also herding. Now fifteen old grandpas and grandmas are very active in the game. Both the overall atmosphere and the spirit of the old people are stronger than before. It is much better to come to the game. Deep sleep is good for health. The novel experience of the old people in the game makes them feel more comfortable, and their natural spirit and complexion have become very good.

As for children who do not listen to discipline, she does not advocate the use of force. After all, her family educates her by precepts and deeds. Nothing can set a better example for children than setting an example, so she thinks the problem will not be serious.

Mu Ning is still worrying, waiting to start the "talent introduction plan" when he can help the old man and grandma reach level five, but the premise is that the dungeon portal must be built first.

The dungeon portal requires a lot of materials and labor. With the current labor force in Jurong Town, it can’t be built in three to five days. Moreover, it’s not possible to let a group of 80-[-]-year-old concubines to move bricks and tiles. ?

bother!

"By the way, Dad, have you noticed that there are some strange clothes in the clothes store in our town?" Coming out of the death match, Pudding Cat pointed it out to Mu Ning.Liu Zhe, who was looking through the forum with his diary in his arms, also leaned over and flipped through it casually: "I guess it's for fat people." He pulled his clothes and found that his waist was extraordinarily wide.

The seamstress smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is a maternity dress. Several ladies in the town are pregnant with babies, so I made it out on purpose." After she finished speaking, she stroked her slightly swollen belly, showing a happy expression .

"Aren't you stupid?" Mu Ning said to Liu Zhe and Pudding Cat: "Uncle Baron's wife is wearing maternity clothes all day long, so I dare you to ignore it."

"I didn't ignore it. I didn't expect that there are people in our town who are going to have babies." Pudding Cat was very surprised. NPCs can also have babies?Wouldn't it be a golden light flashing by, the baby would be born in the golden light.

Pudding cat didn't have the nerve to ask such a strange question, so no one answered her.

The husband, who was sitting in the shop with a seamstress making clothes, smiled and said, "In a few months we will be rushing to make clothes for the babies."

NPCs will also become pregnant and give birth to babies, which both Pudding Cat and Liu Zhe find quite difficult to understand.

They found it difficult to understand, but Mu Ning didn't find it strange at all. He knew that places like Rongshu Village and Qunshu Town lacked some important components compared to the villages and towns he visited in his previous life, such as children!

No matter which city or village I went to in the game in my previous life, I could always see naughty children running around, parents holding babies, and pregnant women with big bellies.Fertility is the most basic and important part of the reincarnation and cycle of life. The last five-level update mentioned that the NPC population growth has shifted from "refresh" to "birth", which means that there will be more and more NPCs over time. The married female NPCs are pregnant one after another, giving birth to babies, and the little ones grow up, making the whole vast world truly full of vitality.

In fact, not only humanoid NPCs, but also beasts and insects began to reproduce in a real sense at that time, rather than fabricated out of thin air.

What Mu Ning urgently needs right now is to abduct a large number of NPCs back to the town. The so-called "abduction" is actually to recruit attendants in the dungeon and then return them to the town. If the NPCs are willing to settle in Jurong Town, then "abduction" is considered success one.

The price of doing this is very high, because the NPCs themselves must not be able to pay the settlement fee. If Mu Ning is required to come out, even if Mu Ning has been exempted from the task, one gold coin per person is not negotiable.

If you give yourself a gold coin, why do you count as "spending" a gold coin?

The reason is very simple. By definition, the payment of settlement fees is not the contribution of residents to the town or the payment of protection fees, but "give you a gold coin, I will live with you, and you use this gold coin to arrange and serve me here life."

In short, the one gold coin for this settlement is to be spent on the settled residents.

After Mu Ning and Liu Zhe settled down, the gold coins were embezzled by Qunshu Town. They didn’t benefit at all, but this is not normal, and it is definitely not a wise way to build villages and towns. "Balance" trick, but the consequences of this are unimaginable.

"If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work." In the game, normal villages and towns have to accept a new resident to live locally for a long time. The various benefits and benefits of the entire village must also cover the new resident. If the benefits themselves do not increase, then The more people there are, the thinner the distribution will be, and the bigger the village will be, the less it will be able to catch up, and the dilemma will be dragged down by its own welfare.

The most basic way to solve the problem is the settlement fee. The new residents use the settlement fee to support the infrastructure and welfare of the village and town, and the village and town are responsible for integrating this gold coin into the existing system, and even adding an additional part to the welfare system. , in order to preserve the quality of life of the entire village and town residents.

The settlement fee for villages and small towns is generally only one gold coin to three gold coins, but from county towns to cities and then to provincial cities, the settlement fee will increase, because in general, the larger the city in the game, the more complete and full the facilities and benefits The contribution of the residents themselves is far from being able to support the city's welfare system. It is the city itself that continuously subsidizes money to all residents through its own operation and "supports" the residents.

To give a simple example, Whistler's neighboring country, the Xiyafei Kingdom, which has the reputation of "Tianma Plateau" and "Kamikaze Country", needs to pay ten gold coins to settle in addition to completing a series of difficult tasks. The gold coin is 10 yuan outside the game. It seems to be extremely greedy. However, the player who once served as the clerk next to the Minister of Finance of Xi Yafei once announced very detailed and exact figures, the source and whereabouts of each account. Clearly, there is such a sentence in the summary of the list data: "Every year, Xi Yafei country invests at least one additional five gold coins in each settled resident to maintain the steady growth of the city level."

This is a rare and large sum of money, and it also means that as long as you settle in the capital of Xi Yafei, the country will not earn you a dime. Not only will all the money you pay be returned to you in various ways and forms, but it will also subsidize the extra part to support you.

The land area of ​​the Siaffe Empire is less than one percent of the land area of ​​the Principality of Wisler, but it shows the courage and atmosphere of a first-class power.

Of course, the capital of Muning’s hometown, the Principality of Whistler, is also imitating old bullshit, setting a settlement fee of ten gold coins, but the various benefits of the Principality... ten gold coins are not enough for the managers to fight for each other. , It is already thankful that three or five silver coins can be returned to the settlers.

Mu Ning will definitely not do stupid things to deceive himself and others. He only implements the minimum standard now. Every time a person settles down, he will add one gold coin to the town's construction funds. As long as he can persist, Jurong Town will have its own residents' benefits sooner or later.

At this stage, ordinary players have at most one squire. The sunset red team in Jurong Town belongs to this level. Entering a dungeon can abduct an NPC. Ideally, [-] per day, the speed is not fast, but it is very impressive.

Many players think that as long as they enter the game, novices at level zero can also wear good equipment, so why don't players have 0 attributes, open two attendant slots, and then wear jewelry and equipment to catch cool pets in the game?

Anyway, there are only two asylum refugee attendants, so don't worry about it.

It's not that no players think this way, especially after Mu Ning's green quality jewelry came out, countless players have come up with this method, delete the number and rebuild, and start with two servants and no servants.

They all ignored repeated warnings from the lead NPC.

As a result, these players were all horrified to find that the little yellow dog who obviously only needed three points of charm, they couldn't catch the little yellow dog with all the charms piled up to ten points!

Even those who wanted to recruit gray famous humanoid monsters were completely ignored, as if there were no attendants!

At this time, some players who used to be an attendant when they created their accounts and did not recruit the initial refugee NPCs also stood up. They had to cut their accounts and retrain because they could not recruit and capture NPCs and pets anyway. Players are just following in their footsteps.

At this time, the players finally concluded that the refugee NPCs and chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs at the beginning of the account are the "activation codes" for the attendants. As long as you bring the refugees into the game, how to disband them, and how to catch pets and recruit NPCs is up to you. convenient.

But if Jianhao has ordered the attendant slot and does not bring refugees to play, then your attendant slot is just a decoration, and even a mosquito will not be recruited in the game.

This is also why it took five full years for the game to be discovered after the "Dai Hua Double Attendant Start", because that is the only way to click on the double attendant slot and keep the two attendant slots unchanged.

It's not that Mu Ning is stingy, and he didn't disclose the opening of the double servant Dai Hua that he used to teach everyone. The main reason is that the impact on the entire game is too huge, and he must not reveal it.

At this stage, once players popularize the opening game with double attendants wearing flowers, the whole game will run like a wild horse at a speed of more than ten times to a direction that Mu Ning can't predict at all.
