Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games
Chapter 8 I'm Not a Thief
In the evening, Xue Tianhan had dinner and returned to his room.
Being his first night in the game, he was a bit out of place. Normally, he'd be home from get off work by this time, playing games, watching movies, or watching videos. Time flew by.
However, now, in this gaming world without television, computers, mobile phones, or even electricity, he is so bored that he doesn't know how to kill his time.
Bored, he sorted out the equipment and attribute data:
The base strength is 160, which is increased by 500% to 960.
The base HP is 160, the equipment adds 30, and the bonus is 20%, which is 228.
The base internal force is 160, which is increased by 50% to 240.
Intelligence base is 160, with a 300% bonus, which is 640;
The base attack is 60, the equipment adds 70, and the bonus is 30%, which is 170;
The base defense is 60, the equipment adds 68, and the bonus is 15%, which is 147;
The base speed is 60, with a 20% bonus, which is 72.
The base luck is 60, equipment adds 100, and the bonus is 100%, which is 320.
The knee pads dropped by wild boars only add 10 points of defense. Now that I have better alloy knee pads, Xue Tianhan plans to find a place to cash in these pig skin ones later.
After finishing the tidying up, Xue Tianhan had nothing to do, so he just lay on the bed and stared blankly.
Suddenly, Xue Tianhan thought of something, sat up quickly, and asked Xiaoxue:
"Xiaoxue, how do we play the vegetable garden dungeon?"
"Young man, the vegetable patch is a mini-game. Normal players have a dedicated entry point, but you are an exception. You need to go to the vegetable patch and find your plot of land. Then you can plant crops."
"Is it so troublesome? I don't know how much these agricultural products are worth. If I work for half a day and only get a few cents, what's the point?" Xue Tianhan muttered.
"Young man, you can take some of the agricultural products in your backpack to the inn counter to sell them. The inn will purchase a fixed amount of food every day, so you will know the price of the agricultural products!" Xiaoxue reminded her, feeling Xue Tianhan's dilemma.
Xue Tianhan had been in this inn for quite some time, so he knew exactly where the inn counter was. After a while, he arrived in front of the counter.
There was a wooden board next to the counter with the words:
1. Buying a large quantity of sweet potatoes at a low price of 20 copper coins per pound;
2. Buy 100 kilograms of potatoes at a high price of 100 copper coins per kilogram;
3. I urgently need ten pounds of chili peppers, ten taels of silver per pound.
It just so happened that after driving away the wild boars, Xue Tianhan picked up a lot of sweet potatoes, weighing several hundred kilograms. However, the price was too low, so it was better to keep them for replenishing his energy.
The price of potatoes was acceptable, but he only had a few dozen pounds in his backpack. After selling them all, he only got a few taels of silver.
Although the price of chili peppers is ridiculously high, they are not available in the snowy weather.
"Since I have nothing to do, why not go to the vegetable garden and see if I can pick some peppers? I remember when I was chasing wild boars, I seemed to have seen a pepper tree." Xue Tianhan thought secretly, and then walked out of the country inn.
There was a bright moon in the sky, its cunning moonlight spreading across the earth. Although it was already night, the brightness was still sufficient. Under the moonlight, Xue Tianhan wandered along the country road.
Not long after, Xue Tianhan arrived at the edge of the vegetable field and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
Because at this time the vegetable field is no longer the mess it used to be, but a densely planted area full of vitality and vigor, and many newly planted crops have matured.
"This change is too big!" Xue Tianhan muttered.
"It's okay. Now that you've driven the wild boars away, the crops can grow normally. Plus, the villagers or players have worked hard for an afternoon, so it's normal for the vegetable fields to be this size!" Xiaoxue explained.
"I mean, these crops grow so fast!"
"Really? In the game, sweet potatoes mature in two hours, potatoes in five hours, and radishes in eight hours. You can wait until you reach a high enough level to mature the rest." Xiaoxue said disapprovingly.
"No, I still want to get some peppers back. Can you tell me at what stage the peppers should bloom and how long it takes to mature?" Xue Tianhan said anxiously.
He had originally planned to look for the chili pepper tree he remembered, but the vegetable patch was now full of crops, so it would probably be difficult to find. Wouldn't it be much more convenient if there were some newly planted chili peppers that were already ripe?
"The peppers need to bloom at level 5 and mature in twenty hours." Xiaoxue replied.
"Level 5! You can even leave the Novice Village at level 5, and besides those big spenders, there aren't many level 5s these days. Plus, the peppers take twenty hours to mature, which is difficult! I'd better just look for that pepper tree I saw earlier."
Xue Tianhan thought for a while and then wandered around the vegetable garden.
The vegetable patch was quite large, and an hour had passed before Xue Tianhan found any pepper trees, which made him want to go back. However, he couldn't go back empty-handed, so he turned his attention to other crops.
Just then, he found a cornfield with plump green corn cobs, so Xue Tianhan started to work.
"Stop, are you a thief?" Xue Tianhan had just broken off a few corns when a strong villager with bare shoulders and holding a hoe rushed out from the cornbrush and shouted loudly.
"I'm not!" Xue Tianhan didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and said subconsciously.
"Then what are you doing here?" the burly villager asked fiercely.
"I'm here to buy vegetables!" Xue Tianhan handed a tael of silver to the villager and said with a smile.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid, sneaking around in my cornfield late at night?" The villager said with disdain.
"Really, I like eating corn, so I came to buy some!" Xue Tianhan said as he changed the silver into gold.
"Oh? Looks like this is a misunderstanding! Young man, take whatever you like. As long as there's gold, everything's fine. I'm going to go do something else." The villager threw the hoe aside, took the gold with both hands, and said cheerfully. After that, he picked up the hoe and walked to the other end of the cornfield.
"..." Xue Tianhan was speechless. He was caught stealing vegetables and had to pay compensation. He still wanted to continue. How could he continue? Even if he wanted to continue, he had to find another piece of land!
With a depressed mood, Xue Tianhan left the cornfield holding the corn cobs.
It is unreasonable for him to be so unlucky with such a high luck value. As soon as he left the cornfield, he saw a dense pepper tree not far away.
The pepper tree is not small, it is two meters high, and it is densely packed with cow horn peppers. Judging from the number of heads, it is estimated that there are at least 20 kilograms of peppers, if not 30 kilograms.
After discovering the target, Xue Tianhan did not rush to act. He fully learned from the lesson just now and circled around the pepper tree several times. Only after confirming that there was no one around did he share the pressure with the pepper tree.
Soon, the originally heavy pepper tree felt much lighter. Xue Tianhan then withdrew his hand and left with a somewhat happy mood.
He was caught stealing vegetables and lost one or two taels of gold. He sold ten kilograms of peppers and earned one hundred taels of silver, which is equivalent to earning nine gold.
Xue Tianhan was quite satisfied with this experience. This was a game dungeon, a legitimate way to earn gold. Unlike selling fish to other players before, that relied on luck. Trying to earn gold by selling fish wasn't feasible.
After all, not everyone's skills are so poor, and Xue Tianhan is not the only one with good fishing skills. There are many fishermen. Many times, there are fewer people who pay gold to buy task fish than those who sell fish. Supply exceeds demand, and the price has dropped a lot.
After going out, it was getting late, so Xue Tianhan had to go back to his room to rest.
The next day, Xue Tianhan got up early in the morning. There was no other way. He couldn't sleep well in the unfamiliar environment, so he had to get up early.
It was the countryside, and it was early in the morning, so the air quality was extraordinary, with a fresh breeze and an overwhelming spiritual energy. If Xue Tianhan didn't have any martial arts skills, he would have found a quiet place to meditate and practice.
Seeing such a good environment being wasted, Xue Tianhan couldn't help but curse: "This is clearly a cultivation game, but there's no way to obtain the skills! Is the planner crazy?"
"Don't worry, young man. Cultivation is not something that can be done overnight. You are still in the Novice Village. Even if I give you the skills, without a teacher to teach you, you don't know how to start.
But if you're really anxious, you can ask the villagers for information. Maybe someone will know some clues about the skills!" Xiaoxue responded behind Xue Tianhan.
As Xiaoxue said, Xue Tianhan went up to the NPC and chatted with him when he saw him, and soon found some clues in a corner of the central square.
He was a half-immortal who set up a stall to tell fortunes. According to him, the great-grandfather of the rural tycoon Mr. Liu was a constable who was a master of swordsmanship. He must have left behind some skills.
So, Xue Tianhan came to Mr. Liu's mansion with anticipation.
After the conversation, Xue Tianhan was greatly disappointed. Liu Yuanwai's family did have a sword manual, but since Liu Yuanwai's grandfather's generation, no one in his family had practiced martial arts, so the sword manual had been neglected and had become unrecognizable and incomplete over the years.
"Young man, I'm so sorry. How about this: you go to the back mountain and get me some Wolf King blood. I'll give you this incomplete sword manual and one thousand taels of gold as a reward. What do you think?"
"Wolf King's blood, what do you want this for?" Xue Tianhan asked curiously.
"Alas, to be honest, I have too many wives, and I'm a little overwhelmed. The doctor said that using the wolf king's blood as a medicine, and combining it with some precious herbs, will help me regain my virility. So, young man, you understand!"
Mr. Liu hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth. After all, he knew that this condition was difficult to fulfill. The environment there was dangerous, and wolves roamed in packs. It was difficult to obtain ordinary wolf blood, let alone the blood of the wolf king.
"Am I ill? But I was planning to go to the back mountain to look for another alloy kneepad. If I'm lucky enough to get some Wolf King blood, I can exchange it for this sword manual and a thousand taels of gold. Wouldn't that be awesome!"
After thinking about it for a while, Xue Tianhan agreed: "Okay, I'll try, but it may be a little later. I need to improve my strength."
"How about this, I'll lend you the sword manual first, and you can see if you can learn something from it to improve your strength!" Mr. Liu had no intention of exchanging the sword manual for the Wolf King's blood. The one thousand taels of gold was the key point, so he was not afraid that Xue Tianhan would regret it later.
"This couldn't be better!" Xue Tianhan said happily.
