Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

"Since we are in a game, I will use the name of the game!" Xue Hantian thought for a while and muttered.

Then he looked at Xiaoxue in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The character designer of this game really deserves a thumbs up. Who wouldn't be moved by such a beautiful woman?"

"You're such a smooth talker!" Xiaoxue scolded in a voice that Xue Tianhan couldn't hear.

After calming down a bit, Xue Tianhan decided to give this real game a good try. He stood up from the bed, held Xiaoxue's chin with one hand and said, "Girl, you're so charming! If I didn't know you were an AI, I'd really want to fall in love with you!"

"Young man, you are so annoying. You actually tease me!" Xiaoxue blushed and pushed Xue Tianhan away.

"Damn, it even blushes. This is too realistic." Xue Hantian exclaimed in amazement, not expecting the NPC to react.

"Young man, please don't tease me. I'm very shy!" Xiaoxue covered her face, not daring to look at Xue Tianhan, and said shyly.

"Forget it, you're not a real person, so stop making a fuss and go out and learn how to play this game first."

"Gulu, Guru"

Just as he was about to leave the room, Xue Tianhan's stomach expressed its dissatisfaction and he said in surprise: "No way, isn't this a game? I actually feel hungry"!

"Young man, you don't know that your level is too low. If you don't eat for a long time, your physical strength will not be able to recover!" Xiaoxue explained.

"Then take me to dinner!" Xue Tianhan urged.

"Okay young man, there's food downstairs, come with me!"

Curious all the way, Xue Tianhan followed Xiaoxue to the small private room. Looking at the menu in front of him, he said speechlessly: "A roast duck costs fifty copper coins? What are copper coins?"

"Copper coins were the common currency in the early days and could be exchanged for many things." Xiaoxue explained.

"Then where can I find the copper coins?" Xue Tianhan had just arrived and didn't know where he would get the copper coins. He couldn't just eat and free, so he couldn't help asking.

"Young man, your personal backpack is kept by Xiaoxue. There are 500 gold in it. One gold can be exchanged for 10 taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for 1,000 copper coins."

"This ratio is exciting. It turns out I'm a rich man. Now I can have a good meal." Xue Tianhan said happily. A roast duck is only fifty copper coins, and five hundred gold can be exchanged for one hundred thousand.

After dinner, Xue Tianhan walked out of the inn and found that the road was bustling with people coming and going.

"Hey, have you heard that Shi Potianjing has left the Novice Village?" said a man on the side of the road.

"What does this have to do with us? He's a rich man, he can play however he wants." Passerby B said disdainfully.

"Brother, you are being too low. It doesn't matter that Shi Potianjing left, the problem is that he also took the mysterious businessman away." Passerby A explained.

"...Damn it, I just created dozens of small accounts and planned to make a lot of money in the game. I'm going to vomit blood this time." Passerby C cursed.

"What do you mean? Isn't the mysterious merchant fixed at the intersection of the Novice Village?" Since it concerns his own interests, Xue Tianhan, who was originally watching the show, couldn't help but interrupt.

"Who told you that the mysterious merchant is a fixed person? He is always missing, sometimes at the entrance of the village, sometimes at the end of the village, and sometimes in the central square. And it is said that the further the plot of the game progresses, the more the mysterious merchant will move." Passerby A explained.

"That's right. I heard that this was designed by a certain game company because they were afraid that someone would use this game to get rich." Passerby Ding echoed.

"If a certain game does this, isn't it afraid that players will abandon it and stop playing?" Xue Tianhan asked.

"Hey, who would be willing to do that? It's only been a few days, and the players who are playing now have a net worth of at least one or two hundred. For someone like C who plays multiple accounts, the total amount is more than a month's salary. As long as he can find a mysterious merchant to exchange the money later, it will be better than going to work." Passerby A expressed his opinion.

"That's right. This game is fun and you can make money. Anyone who quits is a fool. But I heard that you have to reach level 5 to leave the village, which takes some effort." Passerby Ding agreed.

"Level? Yeah, why am I still level 1?" Xue Tianhan hadn't noticed before, but now he realized that after playing for so long, his level hadn't improved at all. He couldn't help but ask, "How can I improve my level?"

"There's a task bar in the central square. You can accept tasks there and gain experience by completing them." Passerby A answered.

"Brother, do you want to form a team? I just took on a difficult task and need help to complete it." Passerby Ding invited Xue Tianhan.

"Can we team up to complete missions?" Passerby B obviously didn't know much about this game and asked with some curiosity.

Xue Hantian, considering that he knew nothing and that there was someone who could help him get familiar with the team, nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's team up."

"Okay, then send me your team invitation code privately." Passerby Ding said to Xue Tianhan.

"Team invitation code? I'm playing as a real person, I can't see this! By the way, you can ask customer service," Xue Tianhan thought to himself after hearing what Passerby Ding said.

"Xiaoxue, what's my invitation code?" Xue Tianhan turned and asked Xiaoxue.

"Sorry, young man, you are in the game now and cannot form a team by binding the invitation code like normal players." Xiaoxue replied.

"Hey, brother, who are you talking to?" Passerby Ding asked curiously.

"Talk to the customer service!" Xue Hantian said in confusion.

"District server channel, you are chatting with customer service? You are so talented!" Passerby B gave Xue Tianhan a thumbs up.

"What do you mean? Can't they see you, Xiaoxue?" Xue Tianhan guessed.

"Yes, I am an exclusive intelligent customer service representative and I am hidden from other players." Xiaoxue explained to Xue Tianhan.

"Okay, then there's nothing I can do. I can only do the task myself." Xue Tianhan muttered, then politely declined Lu Rending's invitation and went to the task bar in the central square to accept the task.

The inn was only a few hundred meters away from the task bar, and Xue Tianhan arrived in a short while.

There were several long queues at the task bar, and he had no choice but to choose one, as he hated waiting in long queues. Fortunately, the task acceptance speed was not slow, and it was his turn soon.

It turns out that taking tasks is similar to getting food in the cafeteria. There are three boxes in front, each containing simple, medium and difficult task scrolls. Each person can randomly take three from them every day.

Xue Tianhan was a novice and didn’t know anything, so he ordered one for each.

After finding an open space, Xue Tianhan opened the task and saw:

A simple task reads, "The restaurant's signature dish (sweet and sour carp) is short of food. Go to the pond and catch ten carp and send them over. Completing the task will earn you 20 experience points."

The medium-level task reads, "Wild boars are causing trouble in the vegetable field and need to be driven away. Completing the task will earn you 30 experience points."

The difficult task reads, "A pack of wolves has injured people in the back mountain. You need to kill ten wolves. You will get 100 experience points if you complete the task."

"Which task should I do first? When you first start playing, don't make it more difficult for yourself. Just do some simple exercises to practice! Well, fishing happens to be my strong point!" After reading the tasks, Xue Tianhan thought for a moment and said.

"Xiaoxue, where is the fish pond?"

"Go straight to your right, then go around the restaurant. Then walk about a hundred meters and you'll see it."

Following Xiaoxue's guidance, Xue Tianhan quickly arrived at the edge of the pond.

I have to say that the art design of the game is quite serious. This one doesn't look like a fish pond in the village at all. It is almost comparable to the landscape of Guilin. The only flaw is that there are a lot of fishermen around the fish pond.

"Brother, are you here to fish too?" someone asked.

"Yes, I received a task. They said that the restaurant's signature dish (pickled fish) is short of black fish, and asked me to catch ten and send them over." The other party replied.

"Uh, I accepted the task. They said the restaurant's signature dish (boiled fish) is short of grass carp, so I was asked to catch ten and send them over." The person next to him responded.

"No way, I accepted a task, saying that the restaurant's signature dish (fish head with chopped peppers) is out of bighead carp." Someone couldn't help but complain.

"My order is the restaurant's signature dish (braised fish), but it's missing tilapia." Someone else complained.

Hearing this, Xue Tianhan thought about his own mission, which was also about fish, and couldn't help but conclude: "Damn, that restaurant doesn't sell fish banquets, does it?"

"Hey, hey, hey, can you guys be quiet? I haven't caught a single fish yet. You scared all the fish away."

"Tsk, you're no good, but can fish hear us typing?"

"That's right, you're here to liven up the atmosphere, right? That's hilarious, haha! If you can't do it, just give up the mission."

……

Because there were many people fishing, and many people had completed their missions or changed their missions because they had been in the air force for too long, there were idle fishing rods and baits that were readily available. Xue Tianhan found a relatively spacious spot and started fishing.

The resources in the fish pond are quite good. In less than a few minutes, a fish took the bait.

The buoy suddenly turned black, Xue Tianhan swung the rod back, and a big crucian carp as big as a palm flew to the grass on the shore.

"Congratulations, young man, you got a crucian carp." Xiaoxue congratulated him from the side.

"What I want is carp, but it's not what I ordered. What's the use of giving me crucian carp?" Xue Tianhan said speechlessly.

"Young man, you can make some dried fish and put it in your backpack. You can eat it to replenish your energy when you are hungry!" Xiaoxue explained.

"And this operation is interesting." Xue Tianhan was quite satisfied with the design, and his enthusiasm for fishing increased a lot.

One, two, three... fifty. After fishing for an hour, Xue Tianhan caught ten carp.

Someone nearby said enviously, "Hey man, I didn't realize you're such a big shot at fishing! Help me out! I want ten snakeheads, but I've been fishing for a long time and only caught two."

"This..." I have caught enough fish in the snow and want to redeem the mission rewards as soon as possible. I feel a little embarrassed.

"Well, I won't let you help me in vain. I'll buy a black fish from you for ten gold coins."

One dollar a piece, that was fine. Xue Tianhan was a little tempted, but how to trade was a problem, so he asked: "How are you going to pay me?"

"That's easy. I'll click on your profile picture and transfer gold to you. But it's strange that your name is hidden."

"Oh, there is such a thing! Okay, there were five black fish where I fished before, so I just need to catch three more." Xue Tianhan agreed, not expecting that trading in the game would be so simple for players.

An expert is an expert, and he quickly caught enough fish. However, Xue Tianhan soon discovered a problem. He was in the game, so how could he click on the other party's avatar? Did he have to touch the other person's head?

Fortunately, Xiaoxue spoke up at this time: "Young man, you are so amazing. You caught enough fish so quickly! Next, give me the fish and I will help you pass it to the other party."

Just like that, Xue Tianhan's backpack had eight fewer black fish and 80 more gold.

With a happy mood, Xue Tianhan quickly came to the backyard of the restaurant. He saw people coming and going here to exchange for tasks they had completed.

The exchange is very simple. Just hand the fish and the task scroll to the handyman at the innermost part of the yard. After a while, Xue Tianhan appeared in front of the handyman.

"Young man, where are your mission scroll and catch?" asked the handyman.

"Here." Xue Tianhan hurriedly handed over the carp and the simple task scroll.

"Congratulations, young man, the mission is successfully completed. Here, this is your mission reward." The handyman confirmed.

At this time, Xiaoxue also said: "Young man, you gain 20 experience points, and your level is upgraded from 1 to 2. Each basic attribute is increased by 20, attribute points are increased by 2, and skill attribute points are increased by 2!"

"Leveled up already? But the next step is the medium-level mission. Never mind. I've been playing for so long, it's time to rest. No, what time is it now? I was so busy enjoying the game that I forgot to ask the time. I'm not absent from work, am I?"

Thinking of this, Xue Tianhan couldn't help but panic and asked hurriedly: "Xiaoxue, what time is it now?"

“2024/2/25 08:30！”小雪回答道。

"That's a close call! I still have half an hour before work starts. I still have time to leave now," Xue Tianhan thought to himself, and then asked Xiaoxue, "Xiaoxue, I have to go to work. How do I quit the game?"

"How do I get out? Sorry, young man, the function of getting out has not been developed yet. Please explore it on your own!"

"Damn, even the tiankeng isn't this bad! I want to report it, I want to complain, this particular tour is ripping people off..."
