Waste Strong Foundation

The spring breeze blew up the young man's overly wide white hood.

He was silent for dozens of seconds, as if he was listening to the voices of the players.

Then he frowned, and recited the prepared speech script unskillfully: "Well, a very good name."

The feeling of being unable to move the limbs suddenly disappeared.

Players were still immersed in the immersive opening plot, and found a string of light gold nicknames floating above everyone's head in a trance.

Li Xiaoming sharply saw Chen Yiheng with the word "Chen Yiheng" on it.

This should be a game, right?

It can't be a real different world, can it?

What kind of game engine can achieve such a level of careful thinking?Why was there no news before?

The young man, Fei Mingqiu cleared his throat.

Although the ring was no longer used to restrain the player's behavior, the players all looked at him in unison, wishing they could take screenshots and videos.

He does have a kind of affinity, the most important thing is that there is no "blood bar", players still count on him as the main task.

Fei Mingqiu tried his best to ignore the sweet smell wafting from the cloak that Shang Yuan lent him to wear, and followed Alpha's instructions in the earphone, pointing strangely to some grass in the north. house:

"Sorry, I can't provide more rewards for the time being. If you don't mind those semi-crypt houses built with branches and grass blades, you can take a look. I think there may be something useful to you. Of course, if you find anything interesting, you can come back to me... I will stay under that jujube tree between 10 am and 3 pm."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "Unless you have enough ability, please don't walk around at will, this place is very dangerous."

[Novice task 0: Explore settlement ruins (3/[-])]

[Novice Task 0: Talk to Fei Mingqiu (1/[-])]

Looking at the translucent interface that appeared in front of his eyes, Li Xiaoming was in a hurry, not knowing how to close it—oh, it was closed.

He excitedly ran towards Chen Yiheng, but Chen Yiheng had already gone north, leaving only his back...

Hey, sometimes friendships between straight guys are just that fragile.

The thatched houses with round roofs and square walls are scattered randomly on a flat and low-lying grassland. There are about 25 houses in a rough count.

The ten players knew in their hearts that this was not the time for Pi.In case Zuo died and got disconnected——there are ten elder brothers queuing up outside!

A burly and decent-looking boy ran directly to the rearmost house, and the rest scattered when they saw this.

I don't know what the reason is, let's say this game is real, running is effortless, and everyone is a national second-level athlete.

Li Xiaoming got into a thatched hut with shells and wind chimes hanging, his feet slammed into the mud, and the sticky feeling spread from the soles of his feet to his brain.

"Fuck, there's no need to be so real, it's disgusting."

He stomped his muddy feet twice, inspecting the things in the house domineeringly.

Supported by a thick wooden pillar, there are two black pottery pots, a small wooden box, and half a split gourd upside down at the corner of the wall.

As a (former) stand-alone game player, the happiest thing is to turn over boxes while running tasks.

What?Send two chickens?Solve the second spring of Aunt Liu at the entrance of the village?Let's wait, wait until they have searched all the boxes and jars in the whole village, and then they will do the task. After completing the task, they will still receive the heartfelt thanks from the villagers and the best sword in the village.

Li Xiaoming didn't feel ashamed at all, his eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands to turn over the pot, and easily took out three black pottery balls.

Pottery ball, one of the hunting tools of primitive tribes.

Of course Li Xiaoming didn't know its purpose, but whatever it was, according to the mission description, what he found was his.

The advantage or fun of video games is that they can get feedback in time.

The control group worked hard for more than half a year in real life, but often got nothing, or suffered from cold eyes and ridicule.

Li Xiaoming was having a great time turning over, he came in with bare hands, and walked out with a full load, he couldn't help showing a bumper smile.

Turn over the box, forever God!

……

"Well, hello, all the things I found are here." A female player ran over carrying two sets of clay molds.

Fei Mingqiu closed the blank notebook generously sponsored by Shang Yuan, "Alpha, please identify it."

The female player caught a glimpse of a round panda cub poking out two paws from the young man's cloak, and sighed silently, "It's so cute!"

The panda is a magical animal whose main body is more popular than any derivative image.

Of course, the enduring panda head expression pack is another story.

Alpha stuck out his tongue in disgust: "Clay molds for making clay bricks."

Fei Mingqiu nodded, "You found something very useful. How can I thank you...this dress is a thank you gift."

The mimic coating can change its appearance according to the program, Alpha moved his ears——

The female player, who was somewhat uncomfortable before, saw herself changing into a linen knee-length dress with her nickname embroidered on it.

She regretted the name she thought of casually. Seeing that both tasks had been completed, she kept asking:

"Dear priest, do you need any help?"

Fei Mingqiu is good at adapting to the environment. He is becoming more and more proficient in playing NPC. He smiled and said, "Not yet. You can choose a house as your residence. When your soul temporarily returns to your original world, the house will save your belongings." and task progress."

The female player nodded, and a new task notification popped up on the game interface.

She took two steps towards the sun, turned around and trotted, trying to reach out to touch Alpha's face—

Alpha jumped onto Fei Mingqiu's knee, and said angrily, "Here we go again! Big brother, take care of them, I'm not a panda!"

Under the effect of the ring, the players subconsciously kept a proper distance from Fei Mingqiu, however.

Who can say no to a live red panda.

……

In 10 minutes, all players communicated with Fei Mingqiu with the items they found, and obtained a set of clothes and 20 experience points.

The panel of "Waste" is quite simple, except for the 24-hour time in the upper left corner, the central area is the nickname, level and equipment column.

View the rank bar by silently saying "rank bar":

[Level 1 (20/1000) (you are still a million points away from fighting the five scum)]

[Health (10/10) (one cold can kill your dog)]

[Special skills (none) (waste! Don’t hurry up and do the task! You are also worthy of fishing?)]? ? ?

you scold again?

The description in brackets is definitely a private product carried by the copywriting team.

Hmph, for the sake of the big guys in the modeling team who are full of livers, their keyboard sages will not go to the official website to form a group to start a troll.

However, some players were very excited after reading it—please leave a message with more scolding—Alfa, who was in charge of part of the copywriting, said: "?"

The things they found were all kinds of strange things, once again testifying to Fei Mingqiu's conjecture:

The people who settled down at that time migrated very hastily.

In addition to the pottery ball, water gourd and bone whistle that Li Xiaoming found, there are also two wooden spears, half a bolt of tattered maggot-infested burlap, a small bowl of wild soybeans, twelve usable clay pots, four can The disassembled wooden box, the six-string hair curler...

Among them, apart from the pottery molds and measuring spoons just discovered, the most useful one is a black lacquered bowl with cloud patterns on the bottom.

The female player nicknamed [Guagua] seriously told Alpha in Fei Mingqiu's arms that this might be an offshoot of the Yellow Emperor's tribe.

Yellow Emperor?

Li Xiaoming and others gathered around and were stunned when they heard it.

The 5000-year history of China, ancient history and myths and legends only occupy one or two pages in the textbooks of junior and senior high schools, and the syllabus is rarely covered.

[Guagua] Thinking that there might be official people among the ten testers, restraining a slight social fear, he continued to explain to everyone:

""Zuo Zhuan" said: "The former Huangdi's family was named after the cloud, so it was named Yunshi." The Yellow Emperor was associated with Tude in the five elements. The 'Emperor' of Tu' is both a god and the earliest leader of the tribe. The composition of the Yellow Emperor's tribe is very complicated, and the cloud pattern, that is, the sky pattern, is just one of them, but I can't think of other clear examples for the time being."

Fei Mingqiu raised his eyes to look at her, and asked softly: "Yellow Emperor... What do you think about the bird totem holding the sun in the square?"

He asked very sincerely.If you don’t know, you don’t know, there’s no need to pretend to be mysterious.

[Guagua] Quietly called up the game panel, found no movement, and heard the players' "hidden mission" muttering, anxiously said:

"This is easy to explain. I saw the hieroglyphs on the lacquer bowls and stone slabs, and guessed that the era we lived in belonged to prehistoric civilization... er, maybe it was the Xia Dynasty. The Yellow Emperor tribe at this time should be the 'overlord' of the Central Plains, it It consists of dozens or even hundreds of small tribes, and each small tribe not only believes in the totem of the 'direct line' big tribe, but also has its own totem brought from the matrilineal society."

Li Xiaoming couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Sister Gua, ah, I seem to have attended a fake university."

[Guagua] Laughed lightly, still looked at Fei Mingqiu, and said straightforwardly: "I've seen the bird totem just now. I remember a piece of painted pottery, broken pottery, unearthed from the Yangshao Cultural Site in Quanhu Village, Hua County, Shaanxi Province A flying bird with a sun on its head is painted on the film. The merchant is a bird totem, as is the Youhu clan. Besides, the Yandi tribe also has a bird totem. Yanhuang Yanhuang, prehistoric civilization for quite a while, Yandi and Huangdi tribes were intermarried The small tribes within them live together in the Central Plains.”

Fei Mingqiu was thoughtful, "You mean, this is Zeng Di's tribe that belonged to the Yandi tribe, and now it's merged into the Huangdi tribe?"

"Yes." [Guagua] affirmed, and glanced at the game panel again.

She is very curious about the worldview of this game now.

Not only from the perspective of a player who loves VR games, but as a graduate student in the Department of Archeology of Jilin University, she has "occupational diseases".

Because no conclusive remains of the Xia Dynasty have been found so far, only the Shang Dynasty in China is generally recognized internationally.

How will the main planner of "Waste" be? "Romance" is basically only preserved in the pre-Shang era of literature?Do those pictographic characters have a reliable paleographic basis?Or is it a random design?

Fei Mingqiu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then kneaded the panda's ears on his knees, "Thank you for your answer."

The crowd chatted and chatted, eager to try.

[Guagua] Thinking that she has messed up the hidden mission, she opened her mouth to save her, when an extremely beautiful and shocking scene card appeared in front of her eyes.

The lines are rough, and the bird-like totem is used in black and red, which completely records the picture of her talking about her thoughts surrounded by players.

This card gradually dimmed and was stored in a corner of the equipment bar, which could be taken out to read at any time.

If rummaging through boxes is the greatest joy of single-player games, then collecting cards is the "beginning of dreams" that all players can't let go of.

Almost at the same time, ten players received new tasks:

[Main task one: rebuilding the clan (0/35)]

[Rebuild the first ring of the clan: clean up the mud and weeds of the houses everywhere]

[Rebuild the second ring of the clan: pick up dry branches and white mushrooms]

[Rebuild the third ring of the clan: make qualified mud bricks]

[......]

Enthusiasm for infrastructure construction is an excellent character engraved in the DNA of hardworking and self-improving Chinese people.

Plus after a conversation just now——

The background of the game "Trash" is the ancient history of the ancestors who created civilization through hard work.

Players caressed handsome or beautiful faces or reappeared, unsightly faces of ancient gods.

Great!

The sense of substitution is here!

The author says:

The contents of "Waste" about ancient history are rightly the crystallization of the wisdom of scholars over the past century (such as Gu Jiegang, Wen Yiduo...the archaeological reports of various archaeological institutes); although I am very curious about prehistoric civilization, it is purely "Minke", what is wrong, what is not quite right, and even the content that is funny and funny are all my fault. I strive to read and study more and make progress as soon as possible.Thank you for your understanding and tolerance.

In addition, the fourth natural disaster (referring to players who are not afraid of death, do not talk about martial arts, and have no integrity come to a different world, these players are equivalent to "natural disasters" for the natives of this world) was originally a stalk of the strategy game "Stars" ; In terms of novels, there have been popular novels with male frequency such as "The Godly Mechanic" and "Dungeon Player", which are not original.

Happy New Year's Day!All the best!
