Chapter 4: The Girl with Dark Circles Under Her Eyes
Back at his old home, Zhang Heng entered the game.
"A private island, capability, as long as you have enough powerful ability, I can have a piece of 'legal turf' on the earth that belongs to myself. From then on, on that one-third acre of land, I can do whatever I want, love building houses and build houses, love digging holes and dig holes, no one can manage me!"
Boom!
Zhang Heng punched the green wolf's head with one punch, muttering to himself!
"Did something explode?" Dazed, beside the corpse of the green wolf he had just killed, a floating object appeared. Zhang Heng walked over, picked it up in his hand, and the halo disappeared, revealing a black ancient bronze ring that materialized in his palm.
Storage Ring (Initial): Possesses three cubic meters of space!
Wipe, just three cubic meters, Zhang Heng felt the space was a bit small, three cubic meters could only hold something, not even a small car. However, it was still exciting to get equipment for the first time, and the size was also an item, directly brought to his fingertips, then continued killing monsters.
Mission accomplished, 300 Green Wolves killed, return to the village and find the Village Chief to receive your reward!
The task level in Zhang Heng's game has already reached level 5!
The village chief was an old man with a goat-like beard, hunched back and pointed chin, the more you looked at him, the more he resembled a human 'giant rat'.
"Good boy, congratulations! You bravely took the first step on your journey. This is a reward for you!" A cyan-colored large knife with a triangular blade, resembling the legendary slash horse knife from games.
Bastard Sword (Bronze): Sharpness 168, +3 Strength, Attack Power 12-14!
Zhang Heng swung it in his hand a couple of times, feeling quite comfortable and natural. Now he finally had a weapon to use, no longer needing to punch monsters with his bare fists.
Bajiquan (Huang level), ancient martial arts secret book!
It's actually Bajiquan, as for the great name of Bajiquan, Zhang Heng has also heard it for a long time. Close combat is really effective! No need to be polite, let's start learning directly!
"By the way, young man, I forgot to tell you that there are some shops in the village where players can trade with the indigenous merchants. Nothing much, just take a stroll around the village!" With that, Mountain Village Beard Village Chief turned his back, hands behind him, and left Zhang Heng with a departing silhouette!
The village is not big, with only about 100 households. Although the place is small, it has everything one needs: a weapon shop, a pharmacy, a clothing store, a general merchandise store, a bookstore, an inn, an employment agency, and even a butcher!
"This, do you sell it too?" Entering the weapon store, Zhang Heng looked at the weapons hanging on the wall and almost dropped his jaw. That, isn't that an AK47, M14? Although he had never seen a real one before, he had played CF and watched movies, this was a big deal!
Isn't this game just a 'Xian Xia' version?
"Of course, it's for sale, as long as you have the money. Whether it's an airplane, cannon, aircraft carrier, nuclear weapon, spaceship, or a dragon-slaying sword and a demon-killing sword, I can get them all for you. Oh, and by the way, our store is part of a chain with the 'Weapons Guild', not only do we sell weapons, but also buy them back!"
The middle-aged man in the weapon shop explained with a smile.
"How much for an AK-47?" Zhang Heng asked.
"300JB, comes with 800 rounds of ammunition!" The owner of the gun shop explained with a smile.
Forget about the 300 gold coins. Zhang Heng didn't have a single gold coin now, but people are always curious, so after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help asking: "Then, how much does an aircraft carrier cost?"
"Business secret!" The owner of the weapon shop still smiled, but his words almost choked Zhang Heng to death.
As Zhang Heng walked out of the weapon shop, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "What's with that look in your eyes? Do you think I'm not good enough to afford a blind listen? Just wait until I have money, I'll...
Clothing store!
"Sister, do you have even better clothes here?"
"Your credit is not enough, so it can't be revealed!" said the beautiful elder sister of the clothing store!
……
"Boss, how much is this storage ring worth?"
In the jewelry store, Zhang Heng took off the storage ring in his hand and handed it over to the other party.
"Ordinary storage ring, primary level, our store sells for three thousand gold coins, and the buyback price is one thousand!"
Black, damn it's really black, selling for three thousand, and buying back only one thousand? Who would sell to you? Zhang Heng walked out of the jewelry store without looking back.
Everywhere is a place to spend money, where can I make money?
I killed three hundred green wolves, and only got a basic storage ring. The value of the wolf's body was less than three gold coins. However, selling the storage ring (basic) can buy three AKs.
Suddenly, Zhang Heng's heart moved and he couldn't help but rush towards the wine building.
"Shopkeeper, do you accept wolf meat here?"
"Received!"
Without saying another word, Zhang Heng turned around and ran towards the village. When he came back, the storage ring was already filled with wolf corpses! Until now, he finally understood what a butcher was used for!
Flay and take the meat!
A wolf pelt can be sold for about eight gold coins, the meat can be sold for five gold coins, and the butcher's labor fee is three gold coins.
In total, a young wolf could still leave him with ten gold coins.
Of course, making a living by collecting monster corpses is not the first choice, but it's the most suitable for Zhang Heng right now!
After getting the Badao, the speed of killing wolves has increased significantly. However, the initial storage ring space is too small, and after killing a dozen or so, I have to run back to the village!
After a busy night, the experience value didn't increase much, let alone level up. The only thing that made Zhang Heng a little happy was that the gold coins in his small treasury finally broke through 1,000!
"Huh?" He got up from the bed, looked at the storage ring on his hand, and was stunned for a moment. The next moment, he took out the Blade of Tyranny from the storage ring, but didn't see any gold coins.
That means this: weapons can be taken out, but in-game currency cannot!
He walked outside and started practicing Bajiquan, repeating the moves over and over until he became more proficient. Before he knew it, five hours had passed!
The father and son have also become masters of national martial arts!
For half a month, Zhang Heng spent his time in the game space killing monsters and earning gold coins, or stuck in internet cafes, searching for information. The climate, resources, and history of the Nanyang Islands were all within his scope of investigation. What made Zhang Heng particularly excited was that there seemed to be oil on his private land!
Zhang Heng has already applied for a passport from the relevant national authorities. Now he just needs to wait for the formalities and then he can go on-site survey!
"Hey kid, got money?"
Zhang Heng was poked by the person next to him. The voice was a bit rough, but he knew that the owner of this voice was a girl. From half a month ago, when Zhang Heng first came here to surf the internet, she had been sitting there. For half a month, people in the internet cafe came and went, but this long-haired girl who looked like "Chun Ge" didn't move much. Except for going to the toilet, occasionally leaning on the chair and dozing off, meals were either takeout or instant noodles made by the internet cafe staff.
The kind with extremely strong combat power.
Super Hacker!
"No!" Zhang Heng turned his head to look at her, and quickly turned it back, those dark circles under his eyes were almost as bad as Guo Bao's. If this continued, the possibility of him dropping dead wasn't zero, Zhang Heng didn't want to invite trouble.
"Ten yuan, no, twenty yuan, give me twenty yuan, and I'll go home with you tonight, stay overnight, okay?"
Zhang Heng was taken aback, thought for a moment, took out 20 yuan from his wallet and handed it to her: "Didn't you eat yesterday? What's so fun about this broken game?"
He didn't want to let this little girl spend the night alone, as the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Twenty bucks is just a small amount of money, consider it charity!
The girl is playing a game called "Dazzle Dance". Zhang Heng suspects that she has severe internet addiction, enchanted by that thing!
"What's it to you!" The girl took the money and gave him a fierce stare with her dark-circled eyes.
Zhang Heng smiled wryly and shook his head, saying "This is none of our business", then turned back to continue browsing the internet to look up information. The specific location of his own territory was between Malaysia and the Philippines, with an area of approximately 20 acres (over 120 mu).
Around six o'clock, the sky outside was a bit gloomy and it might rain soon. Zhang Heng got off the machine and prepared to leave. He had already thought it through, as long as he got his passport, he would go to the island to take a look. Not only did he apply for a passport from the relevant national departments, but he also contacted the British Embassy and confirmed the ownership of the island!
"Hey, why are you walking so fast!" The little girl with a duck-billed hat and dark circles under her eyes had somehow caught up. Zhang Heng sized her up, she couldn't be more than 18 years old, very thin, flat chested, no butt to speak of, but her height was decent, at least 1.7 meters!
"How did you follow me here!" Zhang Heng stopped and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Zhao Xue glared at Zhang Heng: "Didn't I say so? Follow me home and spend the night with you!"
"No way!" Zhang Heng shook his head and turned around to leave. He had no interest in the skinny little woman.
Zhao Xue followed behind and whispered: "You said you didn't need to, so don't go back with him. Where will the young lady spend the night?"
