Lexi Village is located in the northwest of Roland Imperial City, far away from the inner city, close to the border area, surrounded by poor mountains and bad waters.

This year\'s harvest was mediocre, and the heavy snow came earlier than usual for several days, making many people worried. The weather is freezing cold and there is not enough to eat. For most of the villagers, this will be another difficult winter.

On this day, the old village chief Hams drove his carriage around the village again. There was a loudspeaker tied to his carriage, broadcasting a pre-recorded broadcast.

"The body quenching method in the morning, don\'t be lazy when winter comes."

"Meditate once at night, and you have to persevere even if you want to sleep."

It has been almost two months since Xu Sili promoted the body quenching method and meditation technique to the whole country and wrote it into "compulsory education".

Other main cities are not easy to count, but the popularity rate of imperial cities is still very high, even remote villages like Leixi Village have not been spared.

Naturally, according to the income level of the villagers in Leixi Village, the learning of these two basic methods is completely free.

It\'s just the cultivation of the basic tricks, which needs to be subtly cultivated over many years, and it is impossible to see significant results in the short term. Therefore, most of the villagers gradually slack off after the initial enthusiasm.

Hams had no choice but to patrol the village every day, urging the villagers to cultivate well.

Some villagers didn\'t understand, and when they saw him asking from house to house again, they couldn\'t help complaining.

"Hamms, does this really work? I practice every day for more than a month, but I haven\'t sensed any luminous elements, but I\'m so hungry that I panic."

"That\'s right, we don\'t have talent, so practicing this is a waste of time, it\'s better to save some physical strength."

Hams sternly said, "This is a law promulgated by His Majesty the Emperor himself. As long as you are a citizen of the Empire, it is your duty to practice the Body Tempering Method and Meditation!"

"The noble masters in the city have to spend a lot of money to learn. Your Majesty is sympathetic to us, and gave everyone such a precious technique to practice for free, and also sent an elemental master to teach us."

"It doesn\'t matter if your talents are not good, why are you embarrassed to be lazy?"

Several villagers were trained to be red-faced, and the Elementalist who taught them is still living in the village. Because of the heavy snow, he can only starve with them.

Hams calmed down and said earnestly: "Everyone cultivate well, if our village can send a Wood Elementalist, everyone can eat!"

"Haven\'t you heard? The newly built mercenary towns and Doha towns by His Majesty, because of the production of wood elemental masters, the granary has been built one after another, and the food is full, so there is no need to worry about eating."

"Even if we are old and it\'s useless to study, there are still children. They are all still young, so if you bring them to practice together, maybe they will wake up?"

"His Majesty didn\'t measure his talent when he was five years old. He practiced meditation hard, and when he finally shined this year, he has become one of the most powerful elementalists in the empire!"

"So we can\'t give up! All cheer me up!"

Many villagers nodded after hearing this.

The people of the Roland Empire have grown up in adversity for a long time, and they are not lacking in tenacity, but this winter, it is too difficult...

"Uncle Hams, you said that the granary in the mercenary town has been built one after another. Can the caravan bring some over? We can buy it together with money, or take credit first..."

someone whispered.

After all, they are in the imperial city. Although they are poor, they are not that backward. Caravans driving floating transport vehicles occasionally pass by them.

This year, it may be that the snow fell too early, the caravan did not come, and they had no way to buy food for the winter.

Hams cleared his throat and said, "Don\'t worry, I have already reported to the consul. The lord said that there will be food and salaries for relief soon. Let\'s stay up for a few more days."

His remarks aroused applause from the crowd.

Afterwards, Hams continued to drive his broken carriage and continued to wander around the village, but from an angle that the villagers could not see, he inevitably showed a bit of sorrow.

This heavy snow blocked the road, and even the suspension car was not easy to walk. The transport team had to come over, I am afraid that it would have to wait.

Passing by the house where the elementalist taught, he stopped the carriage, took out a basket from the carriage, and put a few ground potatoes dug before winter in it, and then came to the house and knocked on the door.

The person who came to open the door was Oder, a half-star elemental master who was sent to Leixi Village to teach. He is now a registered mercenary. He only accepted this task because of the rich rewards. He didn\'t expect to be trapped here.

"Lord Oder." Hams saluted respectfully.

Odd glanced at him, then looked at the basket in his hand, nodded and said, "Come in."

Hams seemed a little restrained, but he still entered the door cautiously. As soon as he walked in, he felt a completely different warmth from the outside. Oder is a fire elementalist. Although he has less than one star strength, he simply gathers fire. Elements can warm up the room, and it can still be done, or this is originally a required course for fire elementalists.

Hams breathed a sigh of relief, put the basket on the table, and said with a smile: "Lord Oder, these sweet potatoes have been cleaned, and they can be eaten as long as they are roasted in the fire."

Oder nodded, his attitude a little cold.

As a traditional elementalist, he maintains his arrogance as a superior, and even if he is no longer serving in the local army, he prides himself on being more noble than these villagers.

Even, he didn\'t like this potato at first.

But he is a fire-type martial artist. Only wood-type spiritual masters can make plants grow. In such winter, if he doesn\'t want to starve to death, he can only accept these.

"Lord Oder, is there any news from the inner city? When will the convoy arrive?" Hems rubbed his hands and asked cautiously.

Oder glanced at him, and the old village chief froze suddenly, his face becoming more and more miserable.

"Adults are busy."

Oder said, "Leixi Village is such a small place with a combined population of more than 500 people, and the road is long and difficult to walk. Do you think the consuls will put Leixi Village first? Two months later It would be nice to be there.”

Hams nodded again and again, but his heart was bitter.

According to the food reserves of the villagers, it can only last for a month at most, and that can only be achieved by living frugally.

Now that many animals are hibernating, it is difficult to hunt... How can we support the next month!

"Village Chief! Hams!"

At this moment, someone outside suddenly called out to him.

Hams hurriedly confessed to Oder, then hurried to open the door, and shouted to the person who had already run away: "I\'m here, what\'s the matter?"

The man hurried back and ran out of breath, "Hamms, hurry! Hurry to the entrance of the village!"

"What happened?" Hammes looked puzzled.

"The inner city sent a transport team here!"

Hams was stunned. "What did you say? Say it again?"

"I said the transport team is here!"

"How can it be?!"

In addition to Hams, Oder, who came out behind, also spoke in unison.

Oder looked at the villager and said with a gloomy face: "The village chief just reported the situation a few days ago, how could it be delivered now? Have you encountered a liar?"

The villagers were obviously afraid of Oder, and they stammered when they spoke: "Cheat... liar?"

Hams pressed: "How many cars came?"

The villagers paused, shook their heads and said, "No... I didn\'t see a car..."

Hams frowned, "Then how do you say the convoy? How many people came?"

The villagers compared a finger.

Hams was surprised: "One hundred people?"

The villagers waved their hands quickly, "No, no, just... just one."

This time, even Hams hesitated. He thought for a while and said, "A one-person transport team doesn\'t have a car yet? Could it be that the transporter had a problem halfway through, so they sent someone for help?"

"I don\'t know, he said he wanted to see you." The villager whispered, "I saw him flying down from the sky."

"Master Elementalist?" Hams\' eyes suddenly lit up, "Let\'s go, where is he? Take me there!"

Behind them, Oder also looked suspicious.

If it really flew down from the sky, it would be a wind elemental master, and at least one star strength could master the flying technique!

He simply closed the door of the house and followed Hams and the others towards the village entrance.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw an unfamiliar figure standing there, and several villagers were standing around not far from him.

It was a young man in his early twenties, with blond hair and golden eyes, handsome in appearance, tall and slender, and when he saw them, he grinned and showed a particularly bright smile.

From a distance, Oder sensed the elemental aura on him, but strangely, he gave him a very weak feeling.

"You are the village head of Lexi Village, Hames, right?"

As soon as Hams ran to the entrance of the village, the young man took his hand and said with great enthusiasm.

"Yes... it\'s me." He could only nod his head blankly, "You are..."

"Oh, I am Chang\'an Yiyueyue, and my friends call me Chang\'an! I was sent by Your Majesty to bring you food. There are quite a few. Where are you going to put it?"

While Deng Jianan was speaking, the barrage of his live broadcast room had already swiped.

[Ding ~ Your courier has been delivered, please pay attention to check it! 】

[Hahaha, Brother Xiao An looks so professional. After three days of running, I finally got here, it\'s not easy.]

[Am I the only one who found that these NPCs have good expressions and actions? Just on this small map of Shankara, how could Starry Sky Era be so detailed? 】

【Every frame is full of details! 】

Hams and several villagers were stunned. He looked at the mountain road behind the young man and asked, "Is the transport truck behind?"

"no."

Deng Jianan scratched his head, thinking that this NPC\'s intelligence is too high, how can an ordinary village chief be so difficult?

"The food is all on me. I\'m an elementalist. Well, I know space magic!"

"Bullshit!"

At this time, Odd couldn\'t help it. "There are only ten elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and dark sounds. I\'ve never heard of a space system."

"Leixi Village is a remote and remote area, and the villagers have a hard life. If you want to cheat, don\'t go to such a place!"

Deng Jianan frowned and looked at him.

His current level is lv5, as is Odd\'s level. The two are evenly matched, so he can check Od\'s information.

He didn\'t expect this NPC to be an elementalist too.

Looking at the countdown to the task, he must deliver the food within three days, and now there is still half an hour before the end of the task. If the time passes due to entanglement with him, his task will be run for nothing.

"Don\'t you know? I\'m a hero."

Deng Jianan put his hands on his hips and said nonsense, "Space magic is the innate skill of every brave man. You don\'t know that you are ignorant!"

Oder looked at him with a livid face. Deng Jianan\'s arrogant attitude made him angry, but... Brave?

"Are you really not a liar?"

"Oh, I won\'t tell you first."

Deng Jianan waved his hand and looked at Hams, "I originally wanted to get you a warehouse, but I don\'t have time now, so let\'s stay here."

Everyone watched him walk to the open space not far from the village gate. The snow was not so deep after it had just been cleaned.

"Lexi Village, a ton of black valley..."

Deng Jianan opened the faction warehouse with words in his mouth, and then in the column of Heigu, after entering the number, click OK.

In the camp warehouse, 1 Aixue coin can be exchanged for 1 catty of Heigu, 1 ton = 1000 kilograms = 2000 catties, if the task is not free, this 1 ton of Heigu will cost him 2,000 Aixue coins.

Deng Jianan is still very poor, and after three days of daily life, he didn\'t even earn a single Aixue coin.

According to the guide, 500 Aixue coins can only be obtained by completing the weekly tasks, but when he completes this task, he will be able to get a thousand Aixue coins, which is equivalent to two weekly tasks, which is simply beautiful.

With Deng Jianan\'s confirmation of success, a ton of black grains appeared in front of everyone out of thin air. One ton and two thousand catties were neither too much nor too little.

Heigu is resistant to hunger. A young and middle-aged man can eat half a catty a day, and the elderly and children can also reduce it by half. That is to say, these two thousand catties of Heigu are enough for five hundred people for half a month!

Looking at the eager eyes of the onlookers, Deng Jianan couldn\'t help but puff out his chest.

Obviously it\'s just a trivial matter for him...

Well, it\'s not trivial, he has been on the road for three days, and he has been looking for a way as soon as he goes online for three days, and it took a lot of effort to find this place.

It\'s just that at this moment, looking at these NPCs, both the elderly and the children are elated as if they were New Year\'s Eve. Seeing him is like watching a savior, and he has an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

This sense of achievement is not something that simple material rewards can bring.

"Lord Brave, thank you so much!" Hams was about to kneel down to thank him, but fortunately Deng Jianan was quick-witted and held him abruptly.

"Don\'t do this, this is the task that His Majesty gave me, I just finish the task!"

Deng Jianan laughed happily, his mouth wide open.

One thousand Aixue coins have arrived! In addition to Aixue Coins, there is also a communication device, which can be obtained for free in the faction warehouse at any time, followed by more than 800 experience points and 50 faction reputation points.

Looking at how grateful the villagers were to him, how refreshing it was to do this task!

Probably because he laughed too cheaply, many did not receive the task, and some players who followed his live broadcast couldn\'t help but scolded him in the barrage.

Deng Jian\'an didn\'t mind at all. He looked at Oder, who had a dull face next to him, and said triumphantly, "Look, who\'s a liar?"

Odd pursed his lips, and finally turned away silently.

He was clearly the one who ran away the popularity, and Hams approached him to comfort him: "Don\'t take offense, Lord Chang\'an, Lord Oder may just be tired and want to go back to rest. He is very good. He taught us meditation and body quenching. Very carefully."

Deng Jianan nodded. He was not in a hurry to go. He finally came so far away. Of course, he had to dig to see if there were any hidden tasks.

"Village Chief, is there anything else you need my help?" He patted his chest and said, "Just mention anything, as long as you can help, you will die!"

Hams was frightened, but he did have something to ask for.

"Lord Chang\'an, can you come again in a month?" He rubbed his hands together, looking a little embarrassed.

Deng Jianan was very surprised. He just asked casually, and he really came to the task! He suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "Is there something wrong?"

"The severe cold may continue for three or four months. We need to wait for the snow and ice to melt before we can go hunting in the mountains, but because of the poor harvest this year, the grain reserves, plus the black valley you sent, can only withstand one or two. months, so..."

Hams looked embarrassed, "Can you make another trip in a month to deliver Black Valley to us?"

"Of course, don\'t let the adults run away in vain. We can pay for it and give you some hard work, but it may not be too much..."

[Ding ~ Successfully triggering the normal task [Hamms\' commission]]

[Task content: Please transport a sufficient quantity of Heigu to Lexi Village after one month, reward: experience points, Roland Empire camp reputation and Ash coin]

Taking a quick glance at the system prompt, Deng Jianan blinked. He looked at Hams, and then at the panel of the camp warehouse that had not been closed, and his mind became active.

He thought about it, organized the language and said: "Heams Village Chief, you don\'t have to wait a month, I can give you Heigu now, how many Aixue coins can you give out?"

Hams\' eyes widened, "You mean..."

"I still have Heigu in my space, but I hoarded it myself and spent a lot of money." Deng Jianan continued to talk nonsense, "I can sell you a little."

"How many heroes are there?"

"I have as much as you want."

"At what price?"

"Anyway, I don\'t want to cheat you. We report the number to each other. If we think it\'s reasonable, the deal will be done."

Deng Jianan didn\'t know the market price of Heigu, so he didn\'t want to quote directly.

Hams glanced at him, and he couldn\'t help thinking of Oder\'s liar\'s remarks. He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to fight.

After all, that ton of black valley is real!

This brave man has food in his hands!

Originally, Deng Jianan thought he could report the number directly, but he saw the old village chief sent people to ask door-to-door questions, and finally he scraped together a sum of money.

Only at this time did he have a real feeling for Oder\'s phrase "backland, hard life".

Cloud players are also quite sad to see, and even forget for a while that they are watching a game.

[Brother An, they are so pitiful, please help them]

[Yes, yes, don\'t take money]

[This is too pitiful, I saw several children, skinny and skinny]

Deng Jianan was also very sad when he saw it, but he remained awake and switched his voice: "Fuck, I\'m very poor now, how can I make money without start-up capital?"

The village chief and the villagers gathered together to count the money. After counting for a long time, there were a total of 14,805 Aixue coins, which were collected together by the whole village.

Hams wiped off the fraction and asked Deng Jianan how much Heigu could buy for 14,000 yuan.

Fourteen thousand, Deng Jianan can exchange 7 tons of Heigu, but in this way, he will not make any money.

He gritted his teeth and said with a conscience, "6 tons."

An average of 1.17 Aixue coins per pound.

What he didn\'t expect was that after confirming with him several times, Hams almost cried with joy. The villagers almost knelt down and called him a good man.

Only then did Deng Jianan know that the market price of a pound of Heigu was 2 Aixue Coins.

Deng Jianan: "..."

Although blood was dripping from his heart, he quickly became happy again after seeing the villagers who happily dragged Heigu to the warehouse after the transaction was completed.

Forget it, this is a simple reselling, and he still earns 2,000 Aixue coins, plus 1,000 for the task reward...

Take it to the forum and sell it, that\'s forty-five thousand!

The key is that he directly brushed all the favorability of the villagers of Leixi Village to be friendly!

[Ding ~ A total of 100 Roland Empire NPCs have a favorable opinion of you as [Friendly], and gain faction reputation +1000]

[Ding ~ A total of 500 Roland Empire NPCs have a favorable opinion of you as [Friendly], and gain camp reputation +5000]

6000 prestige, 6 pieces of bronze in hand!

If you save up, you might even be able to get a suspension car!

"Hahahaha, I\'m really a genius!" Deng Jianan proudly akimbo.

【66666】

【shameless! 】

[Fuck, it\'s only been less than a week, and the money for the game cabin is almost back! Why didn\'t I book! 】

[Even if the reservation is made, the African chiefs have no move qaq]

Because of Deng Jianan\'s wave of actions, some people soon followed suit, and made a guide and posted it on the forum, which also led to more people following the guide and making a small profit.

In order to gain prestige, many people have adopted the same preferential form as Deng Jianan.

After all, they are not short of money, they are short of prestige to exchange for good things!

And this week, Qiu Zheng and other ministers have received feedback from various places one after another - they did not expect that the brave masters mysterious space spells! And they are very generous, selling food to the poor all over the country at a price far below the market price, which greatly relieves their pressure.

Only at this moment did they realize what a wise decision His Majesty made!

With the good reputation established by this mission, after more and more brave men joined the mercenary association, more and more delivery orders were assigned to the brave.

Even after the public beta, these brave men who often run orders have also established a mercenary group of express transportation to undertake various transportation tasks, and the business is very prosperous.

Of course, even Xu Sili never thought of this.

What he didn\'t expect was that there were also non-wood players engaged in greenhouse planting in the game, and successfully promoted it to the people who were forced to stop labor and production after the winter.

After some inquiries, he also found out that the player was a girl named Yin Xuemei.

That\'s right, the Yin family\'s aunt who has been in a vegetative state for 20 years.

I heard that the girl was a graduate of the Agricultural University before the accident, and farming is a hobby.

Xu Sili thinks it\'s pretty good, the crops in the Roland Empire are still too few, and even if there are wood elementalists engaged in production, the original farmers can\'t just waste it.

Let the players teach them how to farm, develop more new varieties, and increase the yield per mu, which is very good.

And a month after the second test was launched, another good news came out—the two-way teleportation array between the Imperial City and Lanyue City was successfully constructed!

After confirming that the two-way teleportation array has been built and that the connection between the five major cities is just around the corner, Xu Sili feels that he can finally do something.
