"嘎."罗林坐在茅草屋的门廊上,舀了一把燕麦.喂他面前的两只母鸡.只有他能看到从两只鸡的背上升起的微弱光芒.飘进他手中的方形铜板里,浑身是锈.然后,光线沿着铜板上的中央凹槽消失了."这什么时候才能结束?"罗林喃喃自语.因为一次意外,一年前他来到了一个叫做阿维斯特的异国他乡.作为一个农奴,他的新娘的初夜权利被领主要求.这块方形铜板是两只母鸡在土里抓挠食物时发现的.他发现喂它们时出现了光,这是一次意外.最终,它被吸进了盘子里.起初,他很高兴——这只是一场游戏.但随后,中国那句"君王和皇帝都是从某种人中生来的"的古语和成为自己主人的梦想开始在他的脑海中生根发芽.但...辛勤工作了一年,从嘴里挤出每一粒粮食喂鸡.铜板只吸收光线,完全没有变化.他开始怀疑——这场比赛,也许,实际上已经结束了.所以他成为大师的梦想仍然青涩.
"罗林,不对劲,大麻烦!"一个身材瘦削,长着雀斑的年轻人从远处跑了过来."罗林,"年轻人叫道,"你的名字在这里.这是布伦纳勋爵在土地检查期间送给他的.有时,在封地内出生的农奴会被领主"授予"名字,具体取决于领主的心情和他们所看到的.虽然"Rollin"听起来有点蹩脚,但它比这个家伙的名字要好——比如"Shitpan".
"怎么了,让你跑成这样?""唐纳勋爵的农奴侍从生病了,躺在床上.""他生病了,但这与我们无关."罗林又回去喂鸡了.这片土地是唐纳勋爵的封地,尽管它只有二十多个农奴.这也是只有骑士才能拥有的特权.
"你说得对,这与我无关,"希特潘站在破损的栅栏外,双手扶在栏杆上,跑步后呼吸粗重,说,"但这确实与你有关.唐纳勋爵接到了布伦纳勋爵的通知,他明天就要出发,陪沃克勋爵一起讨伐霜地的野蛮人民.他的农奴侍生病了,找不到替代者,就选择了你.你明天要带着自己的食物离开,第二天就和他一起去.
"..."罗林停止喂鸡了.作为一个穿越客,又是一个农奴,他不知道该如何处理战斗技能.没有盔甲,没有武器.出征军事?这不是在搞乱真正的炮灰.对他来说,这就像一场彻头彻尾的灾难.抬起头,他确认道,"你向我发誓,这不是真的.
"我向你发誓,"希特潘举起双臂向天,严肃而认真,"这是绝对正确的.
"好吧,我明白了."罗林点点头回应.他赶紧看了一眼铜书.发现右侧的两个分支现在显示新文本.>食品采购:10 个铜币解锁.>战斗训练:10枚铜币解锁.
解锁实际上需要花钱.这不仅仅是一款游戏,更是一款感染了吸钱病毒的游戏.作为农奴,他一年所得的收成,在交完税后,勉强够维持生计.他能卖多少钱?但是,他明天要和唐纳勋爵一起去——他的命运是不确定的.即使是一个吸钱者,他也必须尝试.这是一个改变命运的机会.不要错过.
"Shitpan, you got to help me out."
"Rollin, you're my best friend. Just say what you need, and I'll do my best to help."
"Bring me your one-wheeled cart, and load all the grain and carrots from my house onto it."
Rollin took the copper book and put it in his pocket, determined.
Today's decision—right or wrong—can only be judged by the future.
"Rollin, you're not leaving till tomorrow, so you don't have to rush,"
Shitpan was really excited.
He didn't expect Rollin to trust him this much.
No wonder he's the best friend.
With all this food and carrots, he suddenly felt like a rich serf.
"I'm rushing, it's late. The market's about to close."
"Go… go to the market for what?"
"Sell all of this."
"…"
Shitpan.
Rollin's plan was simple.
Since he had cracked the code of the copper book, and there was a combat training branch inside.
It's worth a shot.
As for why he sold all the food—
It's because the copper book gives the impression that it takes a lot of money to use.
A moment later.
"Rollin, you're crazy, you sold all the food, what are you gonna eat when you come back?"
"You'll starve without winter food."
"I don't want to see you starve."
Shitpan, hearing Rollin's decision,
Pushed the cart full of grain and carrots, speaking with a heavy heart.
He thought Rollin was absolutely crazy.
"I'm not crazy, I'm sure of it."
At the market, Rollin directly approached the person who buys crops from the serfs.
In this world, serfs' remaining crops must be sold first to the true owner of the land—
Lord Brunner.
And the price is way below market value.
That's the privilege of the nobility.
Finally, he sold everything for 8 silver coins and 95 copper coins.
Rollin gathered a few copper coins, put them in his pocket, and placed the copper book beside it.
He moved his hand inside the pocket, inserting one by one the coins into the groove of the copper book.
He could clearly feel the coins disappearing the moment they entered the groove.
Sure enough, this game is sucking money.
"Rollin, I'm gonna go pee."
Rollin ran to the corner of the market, took out the copper book to look.
Inside, the text under the food sourcing branch showed a chicken head, along with an egg.
Below it, it wrote:
——Level 1. Big Egg: Big, nutritious. Unlock with 1 silver coin.
——??
Then, after the chicken, there was a duck head.
It wrote:
＞Need to raise 20 chickens + 1 gold coin to unlock.
＞??
Then, under the duck, a horse head.
Still the same text:
＞Need to raise 10 Level 1. Big Egg dogs + 1 gold coin to unlock.
＞??
Rollin thought, this talent tree is pretty good for farming.
But the whole world doesn't have a single piece of land for himself.
So, right now, the most important thing is—
To increase the chance of surviving the campaign.
He looked at the combat training branch.
There was a dog head drawn on it.
Below it, the same text again:
——Level 1. Fierce Dog: Fierce and fearless. Unlock with 1 silver coin.
——??
And under the dog, a horse.
Still the same message:
＞Need to raise 10 Level 1. Fierce Dogs + 1 gold coin to unlock.
＞??
Rollin felt a bit excited, and quickly picked up a silver coin, inserting it into the groove of the copper book.
He unlocked the Fierce Dog talent.
