Farming game: Survival for all [StarCraft]

009.
Although the leaders' shares of dishes were used, there was almost no fresh meat served. Even the two rat snakes brought back from Xia Ji were taken away by researchers as research materials and samples. The only things that could be considered fresh were the vegetables and fruits grown in the only space where crops could be grown.

The quantity is not much, almost everyone can have one or two chopsticks. The most common items on the table are seafood and seaweed.

But now the sea monsters on the Blue Water Planet have mutated. If we don’t find a way to restrain them as soon as possible, I’m afraid we won’t be able to eat even this kind of food in half a year.

At this time, Xia Ji especially missed the game "Dream Town" in his previous life. The fertile land that could be placed in reality at any time regardless of the terrain and regional environment, producing 1,000 kilograms of wheat per mu, 3,000 kilograms of pumpkin per mu in an hour, and cabbage in half an hour...

In my previous life, I relied on this to save the country from famine.

Unfortunately, after completing the game, it will be sealed and cannot be used.

But from another perspective, "Dream Town" is not the most suitable management game for this Star of Hope. In the backward 1960s, "Dream Town" was a very good game that could solve famine and bring new technology. But on the Star of Hope, the dilemma facing mankind today is not just famine. Famine is only one aspect. The other aspect is actually the rainy day syndrome.

To be honest, the rainy day syndrome is not really a disease, because if there is sunshine, the disease may not disappear immediately, but it will definitely not get worse. It can probably be cured over time without taking any medicine.

But who can blame Hope Star for not having the sun now? Just like Water Blue Star, it always rains. Xia Ji has traveled through time and space until now, but has never seen what a sunny day looks like.

The drugs currently on the market for Rainy Day Syndrome are actually variations of the treatment for mental illness, because this disease is more of a psychological disease than a physiological one. If there is no sunshine all the time, even if you take medicine to control it, problems will still arise over time.

If a normal person stayed in a dark environment before the end of the world, he would be in a trance within a month.

From the end of the world on the Blue Water Planet to the Hope Planet, it has been so many dark and rainy days.

Not to mention ordinary people, even medical experts have suffered from this disease.

If humans had known that it also rained on Hope Star, they would rather give up their original investment in Hope Star and settle for a second best planet that was not as suitable but at least would not rain.

But it's too late to say anything now. The resources of Hope Star cannot support them to start over on a new planet.

Of course, if one is naive enough to reach the end of the road, he would have no choice but to abandon the Star of Hope, board a spaceship, and become a wanderer in the universe, leaving his life or death to fate.

But no one wants to see that day come. Once it reaches that point, human extinction will be not far away.

Therefore, apart from famine, the biggest problem facing the humans on Planet Hope is Rainy Day Syndrome.

The sub-world of the game "Cross-Border Manor" that Xia Ji drew in this life is a normal planet with a sun.

As long as the people of Hope Star log on to this game every day, most of the difficulties facing mankind will immediately disappear.

Maybe seeing the sun will make people feel good, and their potential will be stimulated, so ordinary people can think of ways to solve the famine and survive.

Of course, this is just Xia Ji’s most ideal imagination at the moment. After all, she can only allow 100 people to enter the secondary realm at present. To reach hundreds of millions, there is probably still a long way to go.

After eating and drinking, and chatting about games for a while, Xia Ji returned to his own cabin.

I browsed the website, read the news, and took one more look at the secondary world before going to sleep. After all, I had been traveling between the two worlds frequently today, which was somewhat of a mental burden. I lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon.

In the next two days, Xia Ji played the game with the ten-member vanguard team to weed, clean the farmland and clean the castle.

The weather has been sunny these past two days. Every time the members of the vanguard team go online and see the sun, they can't help but smile with satisfaction. Working under the scorching sun has become a kind of enjoyment.

So, after finishing drawing the maps of the currently unlocked castles and farmlands, the leaders wanted to let the young Jiang Wenyue take a break and replace him with a capable laborer. However, Jiang Wenyue refused to do so, saying that everyone would do labor after the end of the world, and that he should go online more often to provide the experts with more research templates and data. In short, he refused to give up going online.

Since Jiang Wen Yue asked for it, he did not slack off in the secondary realm, but worked diligently to complete the tasks. The researchers also wanted to have more examples of physical fitness like Jiang Wen Yue, so they let him do what he wanted.

After two or three days, all the examinations of Xia Ji and the ten members of the Vanguard Team were still normal. According to the Vanguard Team, they even felt more relaxed and happy after entering the game world, and their sleep quality at night was better. The leaders felt that they could not wait any longer. After all, it was an emergency and there was not enough time for them to do more experiments.

Since no major problems have occurred so far, they have to let another group of people enter the game to help Xia Ji complete the task as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if the farmland is cleared, they will not be able to grow anything, and the good farmland will be left to waste. Everyone of them who is experiencing the end of the world will feel sad and wasteful.

It's not that they didn't think about asking the pioneer team to replant the wild ancient wheat seedlings they cleared, but since the game system asked them to clear them out, it meant that the ancient wheat seedlings should be useless, at least, useless to the farmland in the secondary world. And after clearing ten farmlands, the system didn't distribute seeds or open any game mall for people to buy. According to everyone's speculation, the mission should not be completed.

When it comes to figuring out how to play the game, the system won't give any hints, so Xia Ji and the others can only guess and figure it out on their own.

So, on the fourth day, another twenty people logged into the game.

However, this time, these twenty people did not know as much as the ten people in the vanguard team.

Because Hope Star is still very unstable now, the true existence of the game cannot be leaked before they have fully understood the game. The ten members of the Vanguard Team were carefully screened and can be absolutely trusted and will never betray. In order to help Xia Ji complete the task better, they also let them know what the task they are facing is. After much consideration, they told them the truth.

Although the following twenty people can still be trusted, in order to protect Xia Ji's safety and to buy more time for their Huameng, the truth of this game cannot be revealed any further.

However, after logging into the secondary world, except for Xia Ji who automatically changes his face and clothes, everyone else's face is what it is in reality, and the clothes are all old Western-style dirt-resistant robes and trousers, dressed like a worker.

As soon as we met each other in the game, we all recognized each other.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to treat the previous ten people as NPCs.

Xia Ji, on the other hand, can completely act as an NPC. According to Jiang Wenyue's painting, Xia Ji in the game is very different from the real one. When the members of the vanguard team logged in, they saw Xia Ji's beautiful and almost perfect face and did not connect her with her real identity. If Xia Ji hadn't spoken herself, they really thought she was an NPC in the game, because only an NPC can be that beautiful.

Everyone agreed that it would be best to let Xia Ji play the role of a native NPC in the secondary world, so that Xia Ji's identity could be concealed.

The Vanguard Team was helpless, but that didn't matter. They could just treat themselves as the first batch of internal testers and gain the favor of NPC Xia Ji.

Of course, they couldn't call her Sister Xia or something like that. After discussion, everyone decided to call Xia Ji "Manor Owner" or "Lord", because the castle was obviously Western style, and it was one of those ancient castles that combined residence, life and military defense. Anyone who owned such a castle must be a lord, no matter how big or small.

As for Xia Ji's identity, she was regarded as a female heir who inherited an estate. In ancient Western times, there were female heirs who could inherit an estate and inherit titles and territories from their fathers or mothers.

As for what kind of duke she is, there is no need to complete her background in so much detail for now. Just complete her first task first and see if it will unlock any content.

Anyway, these 100 places will not be given to the outside for the time being. When they are officially announced one day, the internal testing for the remaining 90 people will be declared over, and all the background will be perfected again.

After all, Xia Ji has unlocked too little content about the castle so far, and there is no diary or anything that can allow her to understand the background of the castle's previous owner.

Just like that, in a still rainy day, the twenty selected people lay in the so-called game cabin arranged above, received the invitation for the internal test of "Cross-Border Manor", filled in the basic information to register, and the countdown appeared in front of their screens.

At this time, these twenty people did not realize what was about to happen.

They were all confused when they received this mission. The sea monsters could fly and the human situation became even more precarious. They were even asked to play a game, which was said to be a 100% holographic game. They needed to sign a confidentiality agreement and lie in a game cabin that looked very similar to a medical cabin. There were so many instruments on their bodies, they had no idea what was going on.

But there is no way, it is my duty to obey orders. Besides, the superiors are taking such a serious stance, I am afraid there must be other considerations.

The soldiers tried their best to convince themselves and did not show any sign of uncooperativeness on their faces, but they could not help but murmur and feel uneasy in their hearts as they watched the countdown.

Really, is it a holographic game?
Why does it feel like something is wrong?

"3, 2, 1."

"The countdown is over. Welcome players to enter Cross-Border Manor. I wish you a pleasant gaming time."

The soldiers' eyes went dark and they could only hear a strange mechanical sound that was solemn and correct. After the sound disappeared, the dazzling light made them subconsciously cover their eyes, but it took only a second. The trained soldiers immediately reached for the wooden compartment at their waist and turned over to hide, trying to find a hidden place first to avoid an ambush. However, their hands touched nothing.

When they opened their eyes again, everyone was stunned.

That, that's...
