Chapter 23: Vertical and Horizontal Visit

The next day, Adu, who couldn't eat enough, decided to try fishing himself. In his opinion, it was just throwing the net into the water. It was not easy. In the end, he went to the river with the Zhang brothers In the middle, when he threw the net for the first time, he almost swung himself into the water together. If he hadn't caught him with his wide eyes and quick hands, he might have had to fish for someone in the river, which attracted the crowd of players watching from the bank to roar. laugh. Adu, who couldn't let go of his face, quickly threw another net. This time, he didn't throw himself, but the net couldn't be opened, and fell into the water like a stone with a "bang". It was a big laugh. Adu was not convinced, and with the help of Zhang Da, he put away the net again and threw it down again. As a result, the fishnet still did not spread out, and he did this again and again until he had no strength to lift the fishnet again. give up. After this incident, no player said that fishing is something that people can do.

For players, watching fishing is just a novelty, but for Huangfu Chaobo and Luoshen Village, fish is an important source of food for the village. After all the players had dispersed, Huangfu Chaobo called the Zhang brothers over and asked about the fish in detail. Seeing the village chief's inquiry, Zhang Dao gave Huangfu Chaobo a detailed introduction. Fish is also a type of resource in the game. It has two main functions in the game. One is that although it cannot be directly used as a staple food, it can also be used to offset part of the food. About five units of fish are equivalent to one unit of food. Come to think of it, fish meat not only enriches the food types of the village, but also helps to improve the people's hearts of the village. Moreover, fish meat can be used as a commodity for trading. However, under normal circumstances, the fish is processed before being sold. According to Zhang Da, their previous fish were sometimes sold whole, or the fish was processed into new fish fillets or dried fish fillets for sale. Just after some fresh fish were caught out of the shore, Zhang Da immediately processed a few fish for Huangfu Chaobo on the spot, and after processing, Zhang Da handed over the fish to Huangfu Chaobo.

Fresh fish pieces: weight 1 catties, quality: excellent.

Fresh fish pieces: weight 1 catties, quality: good.

There are also a few fish nuggets of ordinary quality. According to Zhang Da, the price of fish nuggets of different qualities is different. Basically, high-quality fish nuggets are 10 coppers, good-quality fish nuggets are 8 coppers, and ordinary fish nuggets are generally 6 coppers. As for the lower-grade and low-quality fish nuggets, it would be pretty good if they could sell for 5 coppers. The Zhang brothers can probably catch more than 100 units of fish every day. After their careful cleaning and treatment, they can get about 50 to 60 catties of high-quality fish, and the rest are good and below-quality fish. After hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo thought deeply, thinking that if he had the chance, he might sell fish to make money. However, this idea just flashed through his mind, what he didn't expect was that it would become his life-saving straw a few days later.

The next few days will be the same as usual. After a few days of hard work, Huangfu Chaobo now has 76% more experience at level 21, and he can be promoted to level 22 soon. Xiaojiejie and Adu also reached level 20, while the senior officials soared to level 17, and even Chen Jing was promoted by one level.

The time soon came to January 30th, because the next day was February 1st, and we were about to prepare for the vigorous land reclamation campaign next month, so Huangfu Chaobo did not go to leveling with Xiaojiejie and the others, but It is to watch the development of the village in the past few days in the administrative hall, so as to make arrangements for the land reclamation next month.

Now the village has ten private houses, one fisherman's hut, one dining hall and one toilet, four logging yards, one quarry, one carpenter's workshop, and one bow and arrow workshop. Someone found it in a grocery store, but it cost 5 taels of silver a piece, and they just waited to buy it after planting grain at the beginning of the month, and then hurriedly built it.

There are currently 52 villagers in Luoshen Village (excluding the three warriors). Among them, there is one junior carpenter and one junior tailor. After all, they account for exactly 5% of the total population.

Could this be the meaning of the special talent that has a 5% chance of appearing? However, the blacksmith Huangfu Chaobo wanted just didn't appear.

In terms of resources: enough money and food, more than 3100 food, and twenty taels of money. There is no problem with these. For wood, forty people from four lumber camps are doing their best to cut down these days. Although some have been used up, there are still more than 200 units. For stone, there is only one quarry, and only five villagers are arranged to quarry in the village. In the past few days, two small piles of stones have also been mined, and some iron ores have been collected one after another: 12 high-grade iron ores, 20 ordinary iron ores, and 56 inferior iron ores. There are also five villagers who have been helping the carpenters build various other things. There are leather materials, animal tendons, and feathers at all levels. Generally speaking, resources are still lacking.

Huangfu Chaobo thought impatiently, he has a headache. How to get these things. Just as Huangfu Chaobo was having a headache, Chen Jing came in: "Young master, the village chief Zongheng brought a few elders and a group of people here. Now we are almost at the entrance of the village. Elder Du asked me to come back and report first."

"Oh, you call Mr. Zhang over. Let's go out and pick it up together." Huangfu Chaobo hurriedly put down the things in his hands; but he was thinking in his heart, it's strange, they will arrange to grow grain tomorrow, why do they have time to spend with me today? Come here. Regardless of him, let's talk about it after meeting.

After arriving at the gate, Adu and Xiaojiejie led Zonghengxia and his party to the gate of the administrative building. "Hey, it's a great honor to have a distinguished guest here." Huangfu Chaobo said to Zonghengtian with a smile.

"Go, you kid, why do you feel like you don't welcome us after hearing that tone. Isn't that right, brothers?" Zonghengtian said with a smile

"Hehe...Where, the head of Yingchuan No. 1 Village and several respected elders came to the door in person. This is something you can't ask for. How can you not welcome it. Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

"Okay, brothers, please don't care about the poor conditions of our small family." Huangfu Chaobo laughed.

"Boss Chaobo, aren't you talking about shabby people? When we were there three days ago, your village had only five houses and three lumberyards. Now you see how many things you have. Besides, I remember that time The three of you seem to be only at level 15. You should all be at level 20 now. Alas, people are more popular than others. By the way, Boss Chaobo, you have three warriors, can you transfer one to us? ?” Hengxing Tianxia said sourly at the side;

In the current game, it is said that NPCs have several levels of intelligence. For example, the warriors from Chen Jing and Zhang An and the skilled villagers in the village are all very intelligent. Like the people around in reality, there is a type of NPC with high intelligence, and there is another type of ordinary villagers. Huangfu Chaobo found that although they are not comparable to Chen Jing and others, they are not like the dull NPCs in the previous games. The last category is the soldiers recruited from the barracks. According to someone on the forum, some people recruited soldiers from the barracks. They are almost dull NPCs without artificial intelligence, so everyone calls this kind of soldiers in the game. Therefore, the players next to him didn't care about the words Hengtian Tianxia said, but as a lord player, Zongheng Tianxia paid great attention to this. After all, the current NPCs can be said to be virtual artificial intelligence. Sure enough, the expressions of Chen Jing and the three It changed all of a sudden.

"Shut up. Rampant." Zongheng Tiantian said; "I still don't apologize to Chaobo Boss and Brother Chen Jing."

"Uh...Brother Hengxing, to be honest, from the first day Chen Jing and the others started with me, I have regarded them as my relatives, just like I have always regarded you as my brothers. Today's words are true What you said, I will take it as a joke, if someone else is changed, I will definitely ask someone to beat him out." Huangfu Chaobo said seriously;

When Chen Jing and the others heard Huangfu Chaobo's words, they couldn't help being moved, and their faces immediately turned from cloudy to sunny.

"Ding dong, due to the player's approval, the NPC's loyalty to the player has reached full value. NPC Chen Jing, Henry Zhang, and Zhang An's loyalty to the player has become diehard."

Uh, I didn't expect that accidentally inserting willows would make them die all of a sudden. Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but feel happy. That is to say, if Huangfu Chaobo says he wants to rebel now, they will definitely support them. You must know that before the Yellow Turban Uprising However, the NPC's loyalty to the Han court is still very high, especially the children of aristocratic families like Chen Jing and the others, even if they are from distant branches. In fact, it’s not Huangfu Chaobo’s affectation. His thinking is really different from that of many players. Many players’ understanding of NPCs still stays on the dull game props of previous games, but in Huangfu Chaobo’s opinion, NPCs are actually different from ordinary people. It is the same, it has its own thoughts, but it does not have its own body, so the words just now were indeed blurted out without thinking. There are players in the forum who have made similar statements, and some people have done experiments, and then came to the conclusion that the more capable NPCs are, the higher the emotional intelligence is. For example, generals are higher than special skills, and special talents They are taller than ordinary villagers. Moreover, a large part of the soldiers in the current game are without any emotion, which is what everyone calls whiteboard soldiers. Therefore, such soldiers can be traded and transferred, but compared to those with higher EQ For NPC special talents and military generals, if you transfer or trade them as goods, the loyalty may immediately drop to the warning line or even lower.

As soon as Zonghengtianxia's words were uttered, Zonghengtianxia realized it immediately and took remedial measures immediately.

"Crack... Look at my sputtering mouth, I really can't speak. Boss Chaobo, don't pay attention to it. Mr. Zhang, Brother Zhang, Brother Chen, don't take it to heart." He saluted the three of them. The three of them returned the gift with indifferent expressions, then retreated behind Huangfu Chaobo.
