Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

Moreover, the dormitory there is very soundproof, so I can have a good sleep every morning.

"Ha~~"

Since he couldn't sleep anymore, Song Lian got up with a yawn, then sat on the wooden bed and stretched.

"call--"

Her arms fell back on the bed, and she breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she glanced around the small room in front of her, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

This house was recently built.

The location is right next to the restaurant in the gathering place, and the players thoughtfully built her a small villa on both sides.

The first floor is used for work and reception. It is spacious and well-lit, with a large window.

The second floor is where she sleeps. The ceiling height is a little lower, but it is still about two meters. The space is a little smaller, probably only a dozen square meters.

Although the overall area is not as big as her dormitory in Daxing, she is already very satisfied.

After all, there were only a few houses in the gathering place at the moment. Should she be surprised or flattered that she was assigned one alone as a prisoner?

"No! Damn it! Didn't you agree to come with me to chop down trees?"

"It's not possible to cut down trees today. The reward is to cut down trees. Building houses is the king of cost-effectiveness!"

“I rented all my tools!”

“Then I didn’t rent it…”

Song Lian walked down the stairs and blinked at the direction outside the house.

Why do I feel that the people in the gathering place are particularly noisy today? Just by listening to their voices, I feel like they all seem to be in a hurry.

But from what they were talking about, it didn't seem like there was any foreign invasion.

"Let's go out and ask later."

After taking out the toiletries he made himself and washing up simply, Song Lian put on his coat and walked out of the room on the first floor.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw two players running past her with two saws in their hands, with expectant expressions on their faces.

This is also something that has puzzled her for some time.

Is there anyone in this world who would have this kind of expression towards tasks like cutting down trees, repairing houses, and moving things?

Are they really enjoying it?

Song Lian shook his head slightly, then turned and walked towards the restaurant beside him.

It was still early, so she planned to have breakfast first and then slowly repair the broken energy cannon.

To be honest, she was still pessimistic about whether the Qi Cannon could be repaired.

After all, it was broken in half by a high-level demon, and many parts are damaged. Unless you can buy replacement parts, relying solely on rubbing it by hand...

She is not a senior fitter either.

When I walked into the restaurant, I found that Xia Keyu was not there today. Instead, she was replaced by the chef who had just taken over some time ago.

It seems to be called [Lazy Ramen]?

Well, it’s also a strange name.

"Mr. Song is here! Are we going to have noodles today like yesterday?" Lazy State Ramen greeted Song Lian warmly upon seeing him.

"Um, could you add a little more chili?"

Song Lian nodded, and at the same time looked at what Lazy State Ramen was making.

It looked like a pile of dough, which he had kneaded into a round and white shape.

"What is this?" she asked curiously.

Ever since this Lazy State Ramen came, the restaurant often has some things she has never eaten, and they all taste very good.

Fortunately, Xia Keyu paid for her meals, otherwise, based on how much she ate recently, she would probably have gone bankrupt.

"This."

Lazy State Ramen saw Song Lian pointing at the dough in front of him and explained naturally:

“This is used to make light cakes.”

"Because there are new players coming today, I'm going to make some local specialties to see if I can cheat... ahem, make some money from them."

"Guangbing?" Song Lian blinked.

"Is it tasty?"

"It must be delicious." When talking about this, Lazy Ramen became confident. He said with certainty while helping Song Lian to cook.

"This guang bing is so fragrant, and there's a little bit of fat in it, so when it's baked it's absolutely crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and full of oily fragrance!"

"Gulu."

After hearing what Lazy State Ramen said, Song Lian swallowed silently.

However, while imagining the taste of this 'Guang Bing', she suddenly remembered a sentence from the Lazy State Ramen...

New players coming?

"Do you have new reinforcements?"

Song Lian found a chair and sat down, then watched Lazy State Ramen start to put seasoning into the wooden bowl, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

New reinforcements?

Oh, yes, it does appear to be new reinforcements to the NPCs.

"Yes, there will be seventy brothers coming this time, and it should be over in a few days..."

Lazy Ramen nodded, then stepped aside to check the time.

19:01

"Oh, they're already here."

……

On the other side, Tang Yi was standing outside the player's cabin, looking at the sixty or so hungry newbies in front of him, and finished reciting the lines he had worked so hard to write.

However, maybe because it took too long to gather, and there were more people this time, including quite a few female players, this group of newbies was much more obedient than the previous group.

At least no one checked his penis in public.

It seems that it is necessary to gradually raise the reservation threshold, use appropriate hunger marketing, and screen some high-quality human players in the forum.

After finishing his opening remarks, Tang Yi briefly talked about the current situation of the gathering place, and stated some red lines that could not be crossed. Then he waved his hand and let them start to move freely.

More than sixty people scattered like birds in an instant.

"Hahaha!! I finally became a beta tester!!"

"Reaching 100% realistic game... Dawn! Too real, Dawn! Eh? Isn't that Brother Shui?"

"This blue sky! This earth! This air! This water! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This must be an alien conspiracy!"

"Turtle, this production team is serious. Isn't Penguin planning to poach some talent?"

Just as they were confirmed to be free, the true colors of more than sixty players were revealed in an instant.

I won’t pretend anymore!

Because everyone has read the version update announcement, everyone’s first goal is to find the novice NPC to receive their 10 alliance coins.

As soon as Song Lian walked out of the restaurant, a player patted him on the shoulder.

She was immediately startled and turned back alertly.

"Boss, do you know where the mission hall is?"

[Kano and Ai's lifelong support] Looking at his sister who was a little alert in front of him, he also consciously took two steps back.

Some people are not used to being in close contact, and she knows this, but this sister is walking slowly in the gathering place, and it is obvious that she is an old player!

Then it should be no problem to show her the way.

Song Lian looked at the girl in front of her who was looking at her and blinked.

Boss?

She seemed to have heard the Allied soldiers shout these two words.

So the person in front of me is...

Did you mistake her for a Confederate soldier?

That’s perfect!

Song Lian's eyes lit up instantly.

"I know, I know. Let me take you there." She immediately said enthusiastically.

It just so happened that she now had a lot of questions that needed to be explored.

Chapter 84: Run away!

"Thank you, boss."

Seeing that Song Lian was going to take her there personally, a hint of joy instantly appeared on her face.

As a helpless newbie, she was neither a member of the legendary high-level player group nor knew any qualified big guys in the forum.

Now that she finally met an old player who was willing to show kindness, she naturally had to hold on to her thighs tightly.

"My name is Ke Ai, a lifelong supporter. You can call me Ke Ai, or Xiao Ai."

[A lifetime support for Conan and Ai] immediately continued, his tone also full of liveliness.

"Ah."

Song Lian nodded slightly.

Okay, another weird name.

After this period of contact, she found that the names of these Allied soldiers seemed rather strange.

They even sound like code names.

Only a few people, such as Alps, Lemon, and Fat Tiger, have names that sound normal.

"Then let's go. The mission hall is in that direction. It's actually quite close."

She didn't say her name, but changed the subject very skillfully and walked to the back of the gathering place.

Conan and Ai immediately followed suit.

After turning a corner, the mission hall appeared in their eyes.

But today, the scene here seems to be different from usual. Outside the not-so-big house, there are three layers of people gathered inside and outside, and most of them are talking, which seems particularly noisy.

"I've accepted a mission to chop down trees! Anyone want to join me?!"

"Repair the house! Repair the house! I'm a civil engineering major! Anyone want to join us?!"

"Hunting team! We're three short of one! Come quickly!!"

"..."

"Eh? Why are there so many people here?"

Song Lian raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Normally, although there are many people coming and going in the mission hall, they won't all be crowded together.

"Didn't you read yesterday's update announcement?"

Ke Ai turned his head and looked at Song Lian.

Update announcement?

What is it?

However, although he was confused, Song Lian still looked calm.

"I had something to do yesterday, so I didn't watch it."
