The three of them started their return journey.
Yang Xu dragged the carcass of the horned sheep in front of him. The horned sheep was as big as a calf. Yang Xu, a young boy, was obviously not strong enough, even though he had made a simple dragging tool out of tree rattan. Still struggling to drag.
Yang Xi was helping to drag him along. She was so thin and small that she didn't have much strength, so her little face was covered with sweat.
Both brothers and sisters were in high spirits.
As long as this horned sheep is dragged back to the village, it will be enough for the two of them... no, enough for the three of them to eat for ten days and a half.
This is the largest prey that Yang Xu has caught in these years.
After all, they are still underage children and grew up in the village. The two brothers and sisters are relatively simple-minded and have no intention of secretly killing Xiao Zhi, a 'sick man', and eating alone.
On the return trip, the speed slowed down significantly due to the 'drag' of the prey.
Xiao Zhi, who was carrying a bone awl and a wooden shield on his back, was staggering when he first started walking, and he had to take a few weak breaths after walking a few steps.
But as time passed, his condition got better and better.
He gradually stopped breathing and stopped swaying when he walked.
After noticing this change in Xiao Zhi, Yang Xu turned around and looked at Xiao Zhi in surprise: "How come you recovered so quickly?"
Xiao Zhi was startled.
Soon? Why doesn't he think so? It was just a bump. After more than half an hour, I slowly recovered. Is this fast? This kind of recovery speed is simply outrageously slow, okay?
If you were hit, you would have to rest for a few days to recover, as Yang Xu said, and then the game would really be unplayable.
This is the difference in thinking between players and NPCs.
For NPCs, this is their world, the place where they live from birth to death.
But for players, no matter how real it is, it is just a game.
About another quarter of an hour passed, and Xiao Zhi's character had completely recovered.
Xiao Zhi controlled the character to come forward to help, helping Yang Xu drag the prey together, replacing the thin, sweaty Yang Xi.
Yang Xi is a very sensible girl. When Xiao Zhi replaced her, she took the initiative to take the bone awl and wooden shield from Xiao Zhi and carried it on her body to reduce Xiao Zhi's burden.
The speed of the return trip suddenly increased a lot.
Even so, near noon, the three of them returned to Heping Village with their prey.
Immediately, villagers and some players gathered around curiously. Some were curious and some were envious.
"Xu Wa, this horned sheep is so big. It must weigh 200 kilograms. Did you hunt it?" a villager asked.
"Of course." Yang Xu raised his head with a proud expression on his face. At this age, he has the strongest self-esteem and is the most competitive.
"Xu Wa, you and your sister can't finish eating such a big horned sheep at once. It would be a pity if it spoils." A village woman said.
"I can dry it and make it into dried meat." Yang Xi said.
Although she is still young, she is very capable. Drying dried meat is a very simple thing for her.
"Xu Wa, my family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. How about this? I'll trade you 5 pounds of grain for 1 pound of mutton. What do you think?" a villager suggested.
"I want to change too. Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time." Another villager also said.
Yang Xu showed a rather moved expression. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at his sister, and then looked at Xiao Zhi, wanting to ask for their opinions.
Yang Xi nodded slightly, indicating that he had no objection.
Xiao Zhi thought for a while, also controlled his role, and nodded lightly.
All he needs is food. As for whether the food is meat or vegetarian, he doesn't care, as long as he can eat enough.
As for the taste? What could he taste through the screen?
In this way, as soon as this horned sheep was carried into the village, most of its meat was exchanged for grain.
With this harvest, Xiao Zhi's food problem in a short period of time was finally solved.
He no longer has to rely on that big pot of rice at night to barely sustain his life.
Finally I can practice properly.
In the following time, Xiao Zhi turned on the crazy 'training' mode, controlled the character to perform strength training, and tapped the screen every few seconds.
Every time you click for more than an hour, the character can get a strength increase of 1 point, and occasionally a stamina point reward.
If the character is hungry, he can eat some dry food he carries with him, and if he is thirsty, he can drink well water.
This process is extremely boring for most players, but Xiao Zhi is not very disgusted with it. His original intention of playing this game is to kill time.
By playing this game, as long as he can temporarily forget about her and stop thinking about her, his goal will be achieved.
While clicking the screen repeatedly, Xiao Zhi turned on his computer and browsed the game-specific forum of 'World of All Living Beings'.
Sure enough, as he expected, a lot of players in the forum were complaining about various settings in the game.
Forget about the difficulty of upgrading, there is even a "hunger and thirst level" setting.
If you go to pick fruits and vegetables from the farmland outside the village when you are hungry, you will be warned or even expelled by the NPC villagers. If you resist even slightly, you will even be beaten to death on the spot!
Go to the wild to forage for food, and most of the wild fruits there are poisonous fruits. When you encounter a small beast, it will disappear before you start chasing it. When you encounter a large beast, you can't even run away. Just wait to die.
Damn it, where is this game for people to play? This game is clearly meant to toy with players like them, okay?
Life is already so hard, and you still have to be played by this fucking game.
Labor and management are no longer playing games!
Disappointment far exceeded expectations, and many players chose to quit the game.
After all, not everyone has both time and patience like Xiao Zhi now.
In this way, two days passed quickly.
There will still be new players coming to Peace Village.
There will also be old players who are lying next to the extinguished campfire, or in a corner of the village.
Xiao Zhi noticed that the corpses of the first few players had disappeared.
It literally means, like it evaporated out of thin air.
Xiao Zhi guessed that after the player's character "stands out" for a period of time, they will die due to excessive "hunger and thirst" and other factors.
Once the player's character dies, his character will completely disappear from the world, just like being 'deleted'.
If you want to enter the 'World of All Beings' again, you have to create a new character after the 1-day cooling period.
