I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 5 Players' Differences

"Ah...who will wake up first from this great dream? I know it all myself..."

After Chris woke up from his nap, the first thing he did was to pretend to be cool secretly, then he lifted the thick plush quilt, changed into his pajamas in front of the 1.8-meter-high floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room, put on an old green military coat and a plush hat.

Then, he slowly pushed the door open and left the room.

In the living room outside, there were already players sitting on the sofa, lying on the floor, chatting with each other, or standing in front of the fireplace, laughing and throwing firewood into it to make the fire burn more vigorously.

Chris took a look but did not stop them from burning the firewood.

No matter how much he wants to save money, Chris will not be stingy when it comes to heating.

In fact, the white porridge that the players drank when they first arrived was just a little joke Chris played on them. Although the porridge didn't taste very good, it was not a big deal for the players and it wouldn't kill them.

It was almost evening, and Chris was ready to go to the kitchen to cook. He planned to make a big pot of rice and serve some delicious food.

"Hey...wait, there are only six of you. Where are the other four?"

Chris stopped on his way to the kitchen and turned back to carefully count the number of players in the living room again. He found that there were ten people here, but only six were here.

Lin Ruoyu, who was throwing firewood into the fireplace, looked back.

"I don't know. Are the other four still outside?"

"I'm going to cook, go look for them."

Chris didn't care much about the disappearance of the four people. Players were capable of doing anything. They might still be wandering around outside, or they might have jumped into the river and committed suicide.

So, after saying this, he walked into the kitchen, picked up two large soup buckets and started boiling hot water.

Chris prepared to cook a pot of rice and then a pot of chicken bones and potatoes.

He wasn't a very good cook, but stewing didn't require much talent. With enough seasoning, the chicken and potatoes wouldn't taste bad.

Chris said this casually and left. The players in the living room basically didn't care about it, but there was a clever guy who lay on the sofa and logged off.

After a while, the clever guy came online again, and he started shouting loudly as soon as he opened his eyes.

"Brothers, I know where the two men are. They're dead outside!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of other players. Even Lin Ruoyu, who was playing with fire, dropped the tongs and turned around to come over.

"Ah, dead. Can you die just by going out for a walk?"

"How did they die? Did they encounter some unexpected plot? Did they receive the mission?"

The clever ghost explained.

"No, they were robbed while walking through an alley. Then the two of them resisted unarmed and were stabbed to death."

"How did you know this?"

"They posted a thread on the game forum. The poster also said that they can't be resurrected now, and asked me to ask the NPC what's going on."

Lin Ruoyu didn't join in the conversation. Upon hearing this, he ran to the kitchen door and shouted inside. "Mr. Chris, two of the four people who went out are dead."

"Dead? Can we bring back their bodies? If they have intact bodies, it won't count against their previous resurrection attempts. If they don't have bodies, then their resurrection will have to use up their previous resurrection attempts."

Chris, who was blanching the chicken skeleton, said without turning his head.

If there was a corpse, Chris would buy some frozen meat and sew up the wounds on the corpse. But if there was no corpse, he would need two hundred kilograms of frozen meat, which would cost another two hundred dollars.

There are still many days ahead, and no one knows how many times the player will die in this big city. Chris has to save money.

As for the fact that there are ten people going out, two of them died, and two have not returned yet, Chris thinks this is a very normal thing.

The players are all people from the 25th century. They have lived in a peaceful society for a long time and have no sense of crisis, nor can they understand the dangers around them. Now they suddenly come to a different world in the Industrial Revolution era. It would be strange if nothing happened.

In addition, the clothes on the players will definitely be coveted by the poor in this cold winter.

Although the clothes Chris prepared for the players were cheap discounted goods left over from warehouses on online shopping platforms, they were, after all, products of the industrial age. No matter how poor the style and material, they were still clothes people wore.

On the other hand, in Neama, a large city with a permanent population of more than three million people all year round, guess how many poor people there are who cannot afford winter clothes, and whether the law enforcement officers of this city are doing their duty faithfully?

"By the way, before you go out, go to the small room next to the door. There are some self-defense tools in there. Take them with you, and then go and drag the body."

Lin Ruoyu returned to the living room and told the story. The other five players had different reactions.

Some people wanted to go out with Lin Ruoyu to drag corpses, but two people didn't want to go out. It was winter and it was so cold to go out. If other players died, they died. It had nothing to do with them. They could just use one free resurrection.

Among those who were willing to go out, that is, to log off and check the forum, the player with the ID Home Alone immediately refuted them.

"You're all unwilling to help others. When you die unexpectedly, don't blame others for not wanting to help drag your body away."

When the two players lying on the sofa heard this, they were a little tempted, but the weather outside was really too cold.

At this time, Lin Ruoyu stood up and said.

"Why don't you just log off and hang up? This game was released by Baihu Game Studio. If you open the client and take a look, there should be an option to hang up.

You let the game helmet take over the game character, and then give the command to me, and I will take them out, so that you will not have to suffer from the cold, and will not miss any possible mission plots. "

“That’s a good idea…”

A player lying on the sofa nodded in agreement, and then he changed the subject.

"But I just don't want to go out, and I don't want to hang up. Who do you think you are to teach me how to do things?
If I do what you say, won't I lose face?"

Lin Ruoyu shook his head. He pulled the little ghost and spoke to the other two people who were willing to help.

"Come on, let's get our stuff and head out the door."

Lin Ruoyu was cautious. When he said he was going to look for the body, he didn't say that anyone willing to help could go to the small room to pick out free equipment.

It was a simple trick, but it successfully let Lin Ruoyu know who he could cooperate with and who was a troublemaker who was looking for trouble and didn't like everyone.
