Chapter 286: I Woke up From My Dying Illness, and the Second-Generation Rich Man in Cyberspace Turned Out to Be Me? (Subscribe)

The sky was covered by layers of black clouds, and from time to time there were several dragon-snake lightnings spreading across the sky.

It was raining heavily, and the bean-sized raindrops were like broken pearls, falling from the sky and washing the earth.

In the season of biting cold wind, players put on thick winter clothes. Although the weather is cold now, the players' hearts are hot.

Because after a long wait, the time finally came to the 10th, and today is the day when Stardew Valley is released.

Douyu live broadcast platform, game area.

Wang Laoju started the live broadcast early in the morning, and chatted with the water friends in the live broadcast room before the game was released.

"To be honest, I've played too many hardcore games, and I really need some casual games to change things up. I'm looking forward to Stardew Valley..."

"Starting today, I'll temporarily step down as Cyber ​​Captain and enter Stardew Valley to explore the land. Let me, a farming enthusiast, see what's going on!"

Wang Laoju said this with confidence. In his opinion, he is a hardcore technical anchor. Isn't a casual farming and management game a piece of cake for him?

"Ding Ding Dong! Ding Ding Dong! Ding Ding Dong!"

While they were chatting enthusiastically, the alarm clock beside them rang, and the time had already come to nine in the morning.

Wang Laoju didn't care about chatting with the fans, and immediately opened the homepage of the Steam platform.

I wanted to search for the keyword Taiping Dao, but I didn't expect to see the column of Stardew Valley in the most conspicuous recommendation position on the homepage.

"Tsk tsk, the old thief is really impressive."

Wang Laoju clicked into the column and sighed: "For a pixel-style game, such a good recommendation position is given without hesitation. The Steam platform is also generous..."

[Game name: Stardew Valley]

[Developer: Taipingdao Company]

[Type: Casual·Farming·Management·Combat·Pixel]

[Price: 48 yuan]

[Developer's message: Cyber ​​cultivation, boundless mana]

Water friend: "???"

Laoju: "???"

No... what's going on?

What does the developer's message mean?

As we all know, the games released by Taipingdao have a significant feature, that is, the developer's message.

Looking at the history of Taipingdao game releases——

[Can you do it, rookie]

[Give everyone a whole job]

[You'll be done if I smoke or not]

[The good show begins]

[One day in the cave, a thousand years in the world]

These developer messages clearly show the characteristics of each game.

But in most cases, the games released by Taipingdao still use the developer message [Can you do it, noob] .

Once it is changed, it means that there is something wrong with this game in the eyes of players.

At present, the developer message of Stardew Valley is [Cyber ​​Cultivation, Infinite Power], which has never appeared before.

Everyone feels from the bottom of their hearts that the game Stardew Valley may not be as simple as it seems.

"Cyber ​​Cultivation, Infinite Power?"

Wang Laoju frowned and said, "Isn't Stardew Valley a casual farming and management game? How can it be related to Cyber ​​Cultivation?"

In the live broadcast room, the fans were also puzzled.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"What new tricks is Lao Zei doing?"

"No? A pixel-style game, Lao Zei still needs to change the developer's message?"

"What's wrong with pixel style? Is pixel style eating your rice? Pixel games are the best games in the world!"

"That's right! I endorse pixel games!"

"Lao Ju, don't dawdle, just do it, play the game for a while, don't you understand what the words "cyber cultivation" and "infinite mana" mean?"

Wang Lao Ju glanced at the barrage and thought it was right.

Instead of guessing here, it's better to enter the game and experience it.

According to the tonality of Taipingdao and Lao Zei, as long as you play the game for a few hours, the answer should surface.

Just at this time, the game was downloaded, and Wang Lao Ju entered the game without saying anything.

The icon of Taipingdao appeared on the white screen.

As the mouse clicked, a soothing background music of rural pastoral style sounded.

Two pink birds flew from east to west among the mountains. As the camera gradually moved up, the five characters of Stardew Valley appeared in the sky.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

After a few soft sounds, four options were arranged below——

[New Game][Load][Cooperation][Leave]

The options were simple and the meanings were clear at a glance.

Wang Laoju went directly to the [New Game] option.

[Name]

[Farm Name]

[Favorite Thing]

[Favorite Animal]

[Skip the Opening Animation]

"My name is Wang Laoju, and my farm is called the European Emperor Farm."

Wang Laoju muttered: "My favorite thing is, of course, the one-click triple combo of all the fans! Favorite Animal? Choose between cats and dogs, right? Then choose cats!"

In the live broadcast room, the cat and dog fans among the fans posted comments because of Wang Laoju's choice.

"The Cat Cult has won a great victory!"

"The holy fire is shining, the holy fire is shining, all my disciples, meow meow meow!"

"Angry! When will the dog party stand up?"

"A farm without dogs is soulless!"

Wang Laoju laughed and joked a few times, and entered the final stage of shaping the characters.

It's a pity that the pixel-style game cannot shape the characters into ancient god faces, and Wang Laoju's face shaping is still quite limited.

But Wang Laoju still tried his best to make the protagonist look like the Mediterranean to the best of his ability to reflect his unique taste.

"It has to be you, the others don't have that taste!"

"The pixel style can be so abstract? You were born to be an anchor!"

"Fuck the anchor? Who wants to fuck the anchor?"

"Hundan, don't underestimate the bond between me and my hair!"

With all preparations in place, Wang Laoju rubbed her hands and explained: "A new game needs to be experienced to be experienced. We won't skip the opening animation. Let's go!"

With Wang Laoju’s click of the mouse, the journey to Stardew Valley officially begins.

The screen gradually dimmed, and as warm firelight emerged, it gradually illuminated the entire screen, allowing players to see the overall picture clearly.

In the bedroom, the wood on the side of the fireplace was burning brightly, emitting bursts of light and heat. The old man with a gray beard, wearing a hat, was lying peacefully on the bed, holding a letter in his hand.

[To my most special grandson, please accept this letter and don’t open it yet. Please be patient and listen carefully——]

【The moment you feel overwhelmed by the burden of real life! 】

【The moment when your spirit disappears in front of emptiness! 】

[If one day, my grandson, you can open this gift! 】

The envelope was not opened now. As the narration continued, the player was still touched by these simple narrations.

"Grandpa, I want to open it now. Growing up is really tiring..."

"Oh, oh, oh, grandpa, they are all bullying me..."

"Grandpa, if I had known that adults are so tired, I wouldn't want to grow up!"

"Grandpa, I want to go back to my childhood..."

[xx years later...]

As Shuiyou barraged one sentence after another, the screen dimmed again. When the screen lit up, the scene had switched.

It’s no longer Grandpa’s cozy bedroom with a burning fireplace.

It's a company lobby called [JOJA].

The dull gray tone has become the main theme of the hall.

The two neat rows of cubicles are small and cramped, but they are the only space left for office workers. Grandpa’s favorite grandson is also among them.

Office workers sit in front of computers and work hard. There are cameras above each cubicle. The work pressure is visibly high to the naked eye.

On both sides of the office hall, instead of windows, there are patrol inspectors standing with their hands behind their hands. They are observing the employees at work.

When the camera focused on his grandson's cubicle, he could no longer endure this extremely tiring life. He opened the drawer under his desk and took out the letter left by his grandfather.

[Dear Wang Laoju. 】

[If you are reading this letter, you must be in a difficult situation and looking forward to a turnaround. 】

[A long time ago, I encountered the same situation. At that time, I turned a blind eye to the most important things in life...]

[That is the connection between people and the relationship between people and nature, so I gave up everything and came to the place that really belongs to me. 】

[I put the deed of the land in an envelope...]

[There lies all my pride and joy, European King Farm, located in Stardew Valley, on the south coast. It will be the perfect place for you to start a new life. 】

[This is my most precious gift, and now it is yours! I know you will honor your family, my dear grandson, I wish you good luck. 】

【Love you grandpa! 】

[By the way, if Lewis is still alive, just say hello to that old guy for me, okay? 】

It's obviously just a pixel game.

It's obviously just an opening animation.

It's obviously just a letter from grandpa.

However, in just a few minutes, it brings continuous touches to the players.

"Just because of this letter, I've decided to buy Stardew Valley!"

"Wow, this grandpa is so good...he understands me!"

"Grandpa even thought of a retreat for his grandson? But in the real world, most people have no retreat at all..."

"It hurts my heart, old man!"

When Wang Laoju saw this letter, she unconsciously recalled a famous line from a movie in her mind——

"My parents died when I was young, and my family was destitute. I had no choice but to succeed. What about you? What can you do when you return to your hometown?"

"In addition to inheriting your father's pig farm, your father's several houses, a few cars and fifty acres of land, what else do you think you have? What else are you?"

Wang Laoju raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a smile: "There is no escape in real life. I didn't expect that in the game, I could return to my hometown and inherit my farm."

After reading the letter, Wang Laoju left her job, got on the bus, and arrived at Stardew Valley. She got off the bus and saw that the surrounding trees and flowers were lush and pleasant.

Next to the station, Robin had been waiting here early to welcome Wang Laoju's arrival.

Robin, who had beautiful hair and a sweet smile, saw Wang Laoju getting out of the car and said with a smile:

"Hello, you are Wang Laoju, right? My name is Robin, and I am a carpenter here. I was sent by Mayor Lewis to take you to your new home."

"He himself is already there cleaning the house for you. The farm is over there. Come with me."

Wang Laoju followed Robin to the Ouhuang Farm. Robin explained as he walked: "This is the Ouhuang Farm."

As soon as Wang Laoju stepped into Ouhuang Farm, she saw the house in front of her. Although this wooden hut was small, it was very cozy. There was a tall firewood pile in the utility room next to it. The house was kept very clean.

only……

At this moment, Ouhuang Farm is surrounded by overgrown weeds, gravel, and trees growing haphazardly. It is a desolate and miserable scene.

It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to start from scratch, develop and grow, become bigger and stronger, and create greater glory.

"What's wrong?"

Robin saw Wang Laoju's expression and understood what he was thinking, and said: "Although it is full of weeds, the soil below is very fertile. As long as you have a little patience, you can definitely clean it up quickly."

Wang Laoju nodded repeatedly when she heard this, and Robin immediately led her to the door of her new home and showed her: "Dang, dong, dong, dong! This is your new house."

Lewis, who was wearing brown overalls and a beret, heard the noise and walked out of the house. Although he was older, he was still energetic.

"Ah? The new farmer has arrived?" Lewis walked up to Wang Laoju with a smile and said, "Welcome, my name is Lewis, and I am the mayor of Stardew Valley. You don't know, many people are very curious about you. ”

"Because there are very few people moving here, you instantly became the object of everyone's attention." Lewis turned around and asked: "So...are you moving to your grandfather's old house? This is a nice house The house has a very rustic feel.”

Before Wang Laoju could express her stance, Robin snickered from the sidelines and said, "Country flavor? What a bad adjective... Stubborn is more like it."

When Lewis heard this, he immediately angrily retorted to Robin: "That's so rude!" This roar made Robin tremble in fear.

Lewis put away his anger and turned to Wang Laoju and said: "Don't listen to her, Wang Laoju, she just wants to tempt you to buy her house upgrade service."

When Robin saw that his plan was discovered, he folded his arms in front of his chest in dismay.

"By the way..." Lewis asked kindly: "You must be tired after traveling such a long way, right? It's time for you to go and rest. Tomorrow you have to walk around the town and meet some people. The townspeople really want to get to know you. ”

After Lewis finished his instructions, he turned around and left the farm. After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, pointed to the large wooden box beside him, and said to Wang Laoju:

"Oh, I almost forgot, if you have something you want to sell, just put it in this box, and I will come and collect it every night. Then... I wish you good luck!"

Lewis and Robin left Ouhuang Farm together. This desolate and dilapidated farm has been Wang Laoju’s territory since then.

The screen dimmed again, and the novice story at the beginning was over. It was obviously just a pixel-style opening story, but if you sip it carefully, you will have a long aftertaste.

It was as if there was an indescribable mission that came to Wang Laoju's heart.

what is it then?

K……

When Wang Laoju got rid of the cubicle life of [JOJA] Company, she became the master of life again.

He can try to take control of his life in Stardew Valley, try to slow down the pace of his life and make his life better.

Thinking of this, Wang Laoju rolled up her sleeves and shouted:

"Brothers, Wang Laoju's Stardew Valley pioneering diary has officially begun. Fuck [JOJA] company, I won't serve you anymore!"
