Conquer the game world with food

Outside the south city of Yunzhou, Chaoyun Grand Canal.

The Chaoyun Grand Canal connects Chaoge, the capital city in the north, and Yunzhou, a large coastal city in the south, and is the most important transportation hub in the country.

At this time, countless people were crowded on both sides of the Chaoyun Grand Canal, including both players and many NPC characters.

Although these people are mixed together, they can still be distinguished at a glance.

The expressions and movements of the system NCs are a little monotonous and dull. Although the faces always show a look of excitement, they always give people a boring feeling.

As for the players, they are alive and well.

They were cheering and jostling, and everyone looked super excited.

Today, a dragon boat race will be held on the Chaoyun Grand Canal. Since it is a national competition mode, there are a lot of players participating in the competition. The entire dragon boat race is extremely grand.

At this time, countless dragon boats were parked on the vast surface of the Grand Canal, and there was no end in sight at a glance.

Since the system completely releases the regulations on the shape and color of the dragon boat, in theory, as long as the player is willing, they can build the dragon boat according to their own ideas.

This has led to the fact that the dragon boats participating in the dragon boat race are not only of different colors, but also of different shapes and sizes.

Among them are the traditional long dragon boats, the new double-dragon side-by-side dragon boats, or the three-dragon arrow-shaped dragon boats. Among them, there are even water-wheel dragon boats and single-row boat-style small dragon boats.

Of course, this is relatively normal. After all, although the shape and size have changed, the overall appearance can still barely see the shadow of the dragon boat.

In addition, there are some dragon boats with particularly strange shapes, which are a bit confusing.

For example, the appearance of some dragon boats looks very similar to speedboats, except that there is no propeller, and the overall feeling is that of a speedboat with a wooden faucet.

There are also some that look like a warship with a dragon head installed. It is really confusing how such a large "dragon boat" can outperform those traditional streamlined dragon boats.

Today's dragon boat race feels more like a new type of dragon boat fair that showcases players' creativity.

In any case, the players on both sides of the strait are quite excited to see these strange dragon boats. The reason why the system relaxes the regulations on the style of dragon boats is probably to better stimulate the players' enthusiasm for the game.

In addition to these weird dragon boats, there are actually people who use dragon boat races to advertise.

In the middle of the canal, there is a whole row of closely connected bamboo rafts, at least hundreds of meters long. On this row of bamboo rafts, apart from the simplest sail to control the wind direction, is the red-backed black sail. Word banners.

What is written on the advertising banner is the advertisement of the plaid shop.

Although the way of this advertisement is extremely crude, it has to be said that in the absence of competitors, this row of bamboo raft advertisements of the lattice store can definitely achieve excellent results.

People who don't know probably think that this dragon boat race is exclusively sponsored by Lattice Shop.

This can't help but make people feel that the owner of the grid shop is really too business-minded.

----

While admiring the various dragon boats on the river, the players discussed with each other, and the atmosphere at the scene was very lively.

At this time, someone suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted: "Damn it, look what it is!"

A special ship slowly approached from a distance, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Fuck, is this a building boat?!"

"One, two, three, four, five, five stories high! What kind of dragon boat is this? How can it beat those small dragon boats when it is so big?"

"Damn, which weird psychopath built it?"

……

Slowly approaching in the distance is a five-story building that looks extremely large and magnificent.

Players are talking about it.

When the big ship approached, everyone showed a relieved expression after seeing the big flag fluttering in the wind on the mast.

"It turns out that this boat belongs to them."

"It turns out that they helped build this boat, so it's not surprising."

"Let me tell you, if you search the entire Area 52, you won't be able to find such a big hand like the Zhanying Gang."

……

That's right!This five-storey building ship was specially built by the Zhanying Gang, more precisely, it was specially built according to Shen Wenhao's requirements.

According to Shen Wenhao, for a rare grand event like the National Dragon Boat Race, of course it is necessary to show the strength of Zhan Ying!

For this reason, he specially spent a lot of money to find the top shipbuilders in the game to build this building ship.

At this time, on the top deck of the building ship, Shen Wenhao was sitting comfortably on a recliner, with all kinds of fresh fruits beside him, and even got a special parasol on top of his head, which was emitting light all the time. The smell of a prodigal son.

The Louchuan slowly approached the arena. Just now it was far away, but now that it was close, everyone immediately felt the overwhelming aura brought by the huge size of the Louchuan.

The players watching the fun on the shore are better, after all, there is still a distance between the building and the ship.

But those players in the canal were stunned.

Zhanying's building boat slowly approached, giving the feeling as if a whole mountain was crushing it.

Compared with the small dragon boat, the huge size of the building boat is like an aircraft carrier, giving people a sense of overwhelming threat.

After the players near Louchuan experienced the initial bewilderment, they immediately began to abuse.

"Fuck, crazy! This is a dragon boat race, why are you driving such a big boat?!"

"Fuck you, is it amazing to be rich?! Pretending to be a criminal!"

"Are all the people in T Zhanying stupid? The dragon boat race builds such a big boat. After the race is over, they are still at the starting point?"

……

The participating players on the water cursed and cursed, but the Zhanying members on the upper boat dismissed it.

At the beginning, they were quite speechless about the super ship built by Shen Wenhao, because it was a bit too realistic.

It's okay to pretend, at least it has to be practical, right?Otherwise you'll end up being an idiot.

They like to follow Shen Wenhao everywhere to play tricks, but they don't like being treated as fools.

But when they came to the game site today and stood on the deck looking down at other players, that sense of joy and pride was instantly felt.

This extremely happy feeling made them automatically ignore the scolding voices of other players.

With pride comes a sense of belonging.

The reason why Zhanying was able to rise rapidly is largely related to Shen Wenhao's intentional or unintentional creation of this special sense of belonging.

Shen Wenhao got up from the reclining chair, stood on the railing and looked down, and saw that all kinds of dragon boats below looked very miniature, which made him feel like he was in the world, and suddenly a sense of arrogance rushed from his dantian to the top of his head.

Because everyone was dressed in ancient costumes, and the surrounding environment was filled with antiquity, he suddenly wanted to recite poems.

It's a pity that there is too little ink in his stomach, and he didn't fart for a long time when he opened his mouth. After a while of silence, he probably felt that the literary youth was not suitable for him, so he smashed his mouth, and turned around to lie back on the recliner while no one was paying attention .

At this time, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance in the air. He couldn't describe what kind of smell it was for a while, but felt that the fragrance was very attractive, which made him involuntarily look around to find the source of the fragrance.

Immediately afterwards, he discovered that there was a place on the shore that was particularly lively, and it seemed to be selling something from a distance.

"What are they selling over there?" Shen Wenhao said to himself.

"Zongzi." [Da Desert Wolf Smoke] replied.

"You can see so far away?!" Shen Wenhao immediately looked back at him.

"Smell it." [Desert Wolf Smoke] shrugged.

"When did your nose become so sharp?" Shen Wenhao said with interest.

"The main reason is that I have liked this since I was a child, so I am very familiar with the smell. I smell it." [Da Desert Wolf Smoke] said and closed his eyes, "Spiced, salted egg yolk, shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, and wine lees Meat, this taste is absolutely amazing!"

Seeing [Great Desert Wolf Smoke]'s intoxicated face, Shen Wenhao couldn't help swallowing.

"Come on! Come on!" Shen Wenhao shouted.

"What's the matter, leader?" A member of the gang immediately rushed up from below the deck.

"Immediately send people to the shore to buy zongzi!" Shen Wenhao said.

"Zongzi? How can there be Zongzi?" The gang member asked with a blank face.

"There, did you see it? A large group of people surrounded it." Shen Wenhao pointed to the shore and said.

"Boss, your eyesight is so good? You can see zongzi being sold there from such a distance." The gang member said with a look of surprise.

"I didn't see it, but I smelled it." Shen Wenhao said.

The gang members were stunned after hearing this, and blurted out: "You can smell it from so far away, boss, your nose is better than a dog..."

When he mentioned the word 'dog', he immediately thumped, and quickly closed his mouth, almost biting his tongue.

"You are right, you can still smell it from such a distance. This nose is definitely better than a dog, but I am not the one with a good nose." Shen Wenhao said with a smile.

"..." [Desert Wolf Smoke] gazed into the distance expressionlessly.

The gang member frowned after hearing this, there are only three people on this deck, except for the gang leader and him, the rest is the deputy gang leader, it's better to slip away first.

"Master, I'll find someone to buy it right away!" He turned around and ran down the deck after speaking.

Immediately afterwards, two members of the Zhanying Gang got off the boat and rowed the boat to the shore to buy zongzi.

After landing on the shore, they continued to work hard in the crowded crowd, and finally reached the stall selling zongzi after going through many barriers.

At this time, the two looked up and recognized the boss immediately. It turned out that Yunzhou Restaurant was selling zongzi, no wonder it was so popular.

"Boss, please bring me a bunch of zongzi!" said one of the Zhanying gang members.

"Sorry, only one per person." Chu Lingyang replied with a smile.

"Boss, we belong to Zhanying, can you give us some more? Our leader wants to eat." Another Zhanying gang member said with a smile.

He heard many people in the gang say that the gang leader Shen Wenhao has a good relationship with the owner of the Yunzhou Restaurant. A few days ago, the owner of the Yunzhou Restaurant specially made dozens of extra skewers for the gang leader. So he thought about reporting his family name Let Chu Lingyang know that he was sent by Shen Wenhao, and give him some zongzi.

It's a pity that this person is still young and stupefied. He doesn't know that such things should be said in private. It is inevitable that it will be unpleasant to put it on the public face like now.

No, before Chu Lingyang had time to speak, the players beside him were already shouting unhappily.

"What's wrong with Zhan Ying? Zhan Ying is amazing? Even if your leader comes in person, it will be one person!"

"That's right, what is Zhan Ying, a group of pretenders."

"What are you pretending to be? They're just stupid. They're driving such a big boat to compete. I'm afraid that others won't know if they're out of their minds?"

……

With so many players present, some of them were naturally dissatisfied with Zhan Yingbang and Shen Wenhao. Some of them were out of jealousy, and some of them didn't like Shen Wenhao's publicity.

Now that he has caught such an opportunity for the other party to talk, and there are so many people at the scene, he is not afraid of being recognized by Zhanying's people, so the big guy's courage grows invisible.

At first it was just to show off their tongue, but after hearing that, the two Zhanying people felt uncomfortable and began to talk back, and the atmosphere at the scene became tense.

"Fuck your shit! You're the idiot."

"That's right, you guys are just envious and jealous, a bunch of brainless trolls."

Zhanying's people retorted, how could the other players on the scene show weakness, and the two sides quarreled as expected.

Whenever a quarrel ends, it is inevitable to start a fight. First, the surrounding players do not know which one suddenly pushes the shoulder of one of Zhan Ying, and Zhan Ying's people will naturally fight back.

But there are too many people around, and it is easy to cause accidental injury when fighting back in an emotional state.

So you pushed me, I pushed him, and the scene became a mess in an instant.

Chu Lingyang, Ah Qi, and Ah Jiu hurriedly collected the remaining rice dumplings and retreated to avoid being involved in this dispute.

On the canal, Shen Wenhao stood on the deck and watched the chaotic scene on the shore, he couldn't help frowning, and muttered: "Why did these people fight, and I don't know if they bought zongzi."

At this moment, a person on the bank was pushed into the river, because that person was wearing Zhan Ying's uniform, so Shen Wenhao recognized the identity of that person in no time.

"Damn, our people were beaten?" Shen Wenhao's eyes widened.

"Come on, send me someone to go to the shore over there to see who dares to attack our Zhan Ying." Shen Wenhao shouted down with his hands on the railing.

"Yes!"

"Understood the leader!"

"We'll go right away, shit, beat him up!"

……

The people from Zhanying immediately replied, and the answers kept coming and going.

Afterwards, hundreds of Zhan Ying's people got off the building boat one after another, got on the small boat and rowed to the shore.

----

On the other side, as people on the shore pushed each other, more and more players were pushed down the river intentionally or unintentionally.

After these players fell down the canal, the players who could swim couldn't help but yell at the people on the bank after they came up, while the players who couldn't swim and how to control the water had to wait in the water until the oxygen was exhausted to respawn click to go.

Fortunately, the system has greatly weakened the simulation of damage, so it will not cause psychological shadows for players after drowning.

But if the player dies in the water, the equipment will be exploded in the water. No matter what equipment is in such a big river, as long as it falls into it, it is guaranteed to be lost.

This inevitably makes people extremely depressed and angry.

So these drowning players rushed back to the shore after they were reborn.

Some of them wanted revenge, while others wanted to drag more people into the water. It was better to have someone as a companion than to have their own equipment blown up.

What is frustrating is that since both parties involved in the trouble are players, the system will not intervene as long as the matter does not develop to a certain level.

In this way, the chaos on the scene intensified.

As the scene got out of control, more people fell into the canal, and some dragon boats were overturned because they got too close, so the rest of the dragon boats spontaneously moved away from the shore.

And following these players into the water were those specially made zongzi from Yunzhou Restaurant.

The zongzi that fell into the water did not attract the attention of the players, but the smell of the zongzi quickly spread around in the water quietly.

The more zongzi that fell into the water, the faster the smell of the zongzi spread.

Just when everyone was at a loss as to what the chaos would turn into, someone suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something swimming at the bottom of the water.

Immediately afterwards, those players who fell into the river suddenly felt that their hands and feet that were constantly swinging in the water seemed to encounter some strange things.

"Crocodiles! There are crocodiles!" Someone suddenly howled.

Suddenly, all the players who were still in the water panicked.

Everyone started looking around to see where the crocodile was.

When everyone looked up, the water surface was still relatively calm, but suddenly countless pairs of eyes popped out from under the water.

The entire river surface is full of densely packed eyes shining with strange light.

"Fuck!"

"Crocodile! How can there be a crocodile?!"

"Fuck you, where is the crocodile!"

……

The players in the water began to swim frantically to the shore, and some of them who were far away swam to the dragon boat on the river.

The actions of the players undoubtedly aroused the aggressiveness of the crocodiles. Almost instantly, all the crocodiles attacked the players in the water at the same time.

At the same time, the system's notification tone rang throughout the canal.

"Dragon boat race, start now!"
