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

Chapter 97 I’m awesome, a show-off!

early morning.

It was drizzling in the valley. The raindrops rustled onto the wooden house, then slowly flowed down the eaves, dripping onto the ground, splashing small water droplets.

Because it was still early, there were not many people in the gathering place.

Several players stood at the door of the player's cabin, looking at the hazy world outside, and they were actually a little excited.

Unexpectedly!

It actually rains in this game!

“It’s finally raining!”

"I didn't expect the raindrops to be so well done. I remember this kind of fluid simulation was difficult."

"Anyway, it's not as difficult as simulating digging."

"Speaking of which, it's raining now, and we don't have an umbrella or raincoat. How are we going to go out and do the mission?"

"Just go outside. It's not like we're in real life. You won't catch a cold if you get caught in the rain."

"But I remember that if you get sick, there will be an abnormal status in the status bar. Not only will your health continue to decrease, but your various attributes will also be significantly reduced."

"It's okay. Everyone in the game is a tough guy. This little rain shouldn't be a problem."

"Indeed, minor illnesses heal on their own, but serious illnesses can't be cured. If you really encounter any serious symptoms, it's better to just reopen."

After standing at the door and admiring the rain for a while, a few people went out one after another.

After all, we are in the event period now. If I log in to the game but don’t do any tasks, I always feel like I am losing out.

In addition, among the new players yesterday, there was a hard-working player who raised his rank from ordinary soldier to sergeant in just one day. At this rate, he will probably be able to be promoted to sergeant in a few days.

After the event is over, maybe you can even get to Du Bo (50 people tall).

You know, the purchase requirement for the assault armor in the equipment store is to be a Hundred-Man General.

It's obvious that Xiao Deng is going for that armor!

No more pretending!

This makes old players feel a sense of urgency.

These old guys can't be outdone by a young guy.

Just as the players began to work one after another, two figures appeared in the rain to the west of the gathering place.

"Old Zhao, what kind of work do you think they'll ask us to do?"

Xiao Li looked at the gathering place not far away and the players constantly coming in and out, and turned to look at Lao Zhao nervously.

"Some manual labor, what else?"

Old Zhao is more open-minded.

Since the people in this gathering place don't look bad, then the work they come here to do should be the same as when they used to work as farmhands for those rich masters in Shaling Town.

I just don't know how much wages I can get.

After all, until he left Shaling Town, the wealthy master who had fled still owed him more than half a year's wages.

There shouldn't be any wage arrears here.

He would rather take less.

The two of them walked outside the gathering place.

Maybe it was because it was raining and the visibility was not very clear, so several players passed by them, but did not realize that they were not players.

Currently, there is no gate in the gathering place. There is only a not-so-high rammed earth wall on the edge, with openings in four directions for players to enter and exit.

Two large carts were also parked outside the western entrance, but because they were rare properties, Xia Keyu asked the players to simply build a large carport for them.

Because of the activity rewards, the carport was completed successfully in one day.

As it happens, it came in handy today.

“They have such a big car.”

When passing by the carport, Xiao Li's eyes were instantly attracted by the truck. He walked forward unconsciously, then reached out and gently touched the front of the truck.

As a driver, he actually wanted to try the feeling of driving this kind of car.

Gradually, he walked to the side of the car, where he entered the cab.

His abnormal behavior finally attracted the attention of several players in the gathering place, including Fat Tiger who had just completed the task.

"who are you?"

When Xiao Li heard the sound, he retracted his hand reflexively and turned back quickly.

His mind told him to speak at this time, but because he was too nervous, he couldn't say anything.

"I……"

"It's you."

As soon as Fat Tiger saw Xiao Li's face, he recognized him.

Isn't this the driver of the pickup truck from before?

Speaking of which, there were no more than 10 people in the entire gathering place who knew Xiao Li, but he didn't expect to meet him by chance.

"Why did you suddenly come to this gathering place?"

Fat Tiger looked at Xiao Li and Lao Zhao who was standing a few steps away. Because they came in the rain, their clothes were a little wet.

"Do you need any help?"

Seeing that it was someone he knew, the tension on Xiao Li's face immediately subsided a lot.

"Yesterday they said we could come here and find something to do, and they would pay us."

Fat Tiger blinked.

yesterday?

Didn’t they say yesterday that the two villagers from Fangjia Village would be sent to labor reform?

When did they say that they would come here to work?

"The assistant said so. She came to our camp yesterday and gave us some food." Old Zhao also explained immediately.

Oh, Sister Keyu also went there yesterday.

That makes sense.

"Then come with me, I'll take you to the mission hall."

Fat Tiger nodded, and thinking that they were unfamiliar with the place, he took the two of them into the gathering place, and then walked all the way to the door of the mission hall.

As time went by, players who had just finished get off work or school started to come online one after another.

Although the mission hall was not as crowded as yesterday, there were still quite a few people squeezed in.

Fortunately, as the intelligent center of a research institute, Xiaoxing's efficiency is limited only by hardware conditions. After players make requests, it can almost always give an answer immediately.

It even has time to look at the people who enter the task hall later, thinking of analyzing their needs in advance based on the information.

Then, Xiao Li and Lao Zhao appeared in its sight.

These two people are obviously not players, nor are they the gathering place NPCs registered here.

Outsider?

So it immediately turned around, left the player who was accepting the task in front of it, and ran to Xia Keyu's feet not far away.

"Sister Keyu! A stranger is coming!"

The sound was not loud, but it was just loud enough for Xia Keyu to hear clearly.

"Ok?"

Hearing Xiaoxing's voice, Xia Keyu first looked down at the little robot, then looked towards the door, and then saw Lao Zhao and Xiao Li who looked a little restrained.

"It's them."

She smiled and nodded, then bent down and touched Sunday's head.

"Xiao Xing, I'm going to be out for a bit. I'll leave the receiving and sending tasks to you."

"Okay! Promise to complete the task!"

Xiaoxing nodded immediately and ran back.

Xia Keyu also left her seat temporarily and walked towards Xiao Li and Lao Zhao.

"You are welcome to come."

She walked to the door, nodded to Fat Tiger, and then looked at the two refugees.

"How was your rest yesterday?"

"Very good." Xiao Li replied immediately.

"Ah That's good."

Xia Keyu nodded slightly, then turned slightly sideways and continued:

"This is the mission hall of our gathering place. All matters requiring manpower will be announced. If you want to take on some work, you can contact me directly, or you can contact the robot over there. Its name is..."

Seeing that the two refugees began to listen to Xia Keyu's story seriously, Fat Tiger simply turned around and left.

He had just accepted a reconnaissance mission to the east this morning, and now he had to set off quickly. If he was any later, he probably wouldn't even be able to drink hot soup.

Holding a gun, Fat Tiger decisively ran to the bank of Yunshan River, then carefully jumped over the stones and reached the other side of the river.

Find wealth in danger!

As a second-batch beta tester, he couldn't just explore half of the gathering place like the newbies.

After all, he was already level four! And he had a gun in his hand. Even if he encountered two inferior demons, he was sure to escape unscathed!

However, no matter how crazy he was in his heart, when he reached the other side of the river, Fat Tiger's movements became obviously much more cautious.

He did not rush into the nearby forest, but instead prepared to move forward along the Yunshan River, wanting to go as far as possible.

And I have to say that the valley on a rainy day does have a unique beauty.

On both sides are rolling mountains and lush forests, beside is the gurgling river with ripples, and in the distance is the hazy...

"Ok?"

Fat Tiger suddenly stopped and squinted his eyes subconsciously.

Why is there a figure in the distance?

And it looked like it was walking towards him.

Are you a player?

But it’s so early, no one should be back.

Thinking of this, Fat Tiger took out the gun in his hand, and then checked finally to see if the ammunition was placed properly.

He wasn't planning on hiding.

After all, he can see the other person, so the other person must have seen him too.

Now hiding in the woods nearby is like trying to steal a bell while covering one's ears.

Soon, several figures in the distance gradually approached. The people behind were wearing armor normally, holding guns in their hands, and had weapons on their bodies.

But the leader was wearing a green robe and holding a white fan in his hand. He was not holding an umbrella or wearing a hat.

I'm so cool, a show-off!

This was the first thought that popped into Fat Tiger’s mind.

After all, even if it is just a light rain now, which normal person would wear this kind of outfit on a rainy day?

Not to mention anything else, on a dirt road like this by the river, the hem of his robe would probably get dirty after just a few steps.

But as the distance between them continued to shorten, he discovered that neither the robe nor the fan of the man in the robe seemed to be wet.

The hem of the robe was spotlessly clean, without any trace of dirt.
