Chapter 12: Encounter

 

 

After sending out the update announcement, Chen Jiu had nothing to do and went straight into the red land, but he was surprised to find that his body was tired here! 

"Chidi, what's going on?"

"Your body needs to rest," Chidi He calmly replied.

"Need rest... Fortunately, the beds in the research institute's living area are available; otherwise, after the players go offline, they will have to sleep like this."

Looking at the other players lying in a mess on the ground, Chen Jiu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.

----Need to take Qin Chuan's body for repair!

The Worm also suffered some minor injuries, but they were all abrasions, so there was no need to waste the resources of the particle reconstruction system.

Thinking of this, he said, "Chidi, how can we repair the player's injured body?"

"As long as you are within the shelter, you can do it anytime."

"The Particle Reconstruction System is not limited to the device, and the current backup hyperspace radar can cover an area of about two kilometers within the shelter. Do you need to repair your body?"

"I don't need it, he does."

Chen Jiu pointed to Qin Chuan and answered.

"Received."

Still a plain answer, after a moment, the blue light flashed in the Particle Reconstruction System, and the same light flashed on Qin Chuan's body.

After a moment, he, the scratches, blood stains and even dust on his skin disappeared visibly.

Yes, it disappeared, not healed.

Rationally speaking, this isn't repair, it's clearly just a refresh! 

"You didn't rebuild his entire body, did you?" Chen Jiu asked suspiciously.

"No, I only replaced parts of his body that were damaged, it was the best option given the limited energy available."

"If you need to do a full rebuild, you can request it from me."

"Please don't!" Chen Jiu quickly replied.

If that were to happen, it would be a bug worthy of being recorded in the development history of the game, The Red Ground.

Imagine if players found that the process of healing their wounds with a particle reconstruction system was a direct reconstruction of their body, what would happen next?

Would they think about saving energy for Chidi?

Dream on!

They would only desperately try to earn reconstruction points, desperately buy so-called "resurrection coins", and then wait until the resurrection coins are sufficient...

Tired, hungry and thirsty?

No problem, one slash kills themselves, and in ten minutes they are a hero again.

This kind of play has a special name in some games, called Sacrifice Flow...

To be honest, if it is only for fast transmission without paying any price, Sacrifice Flow is indeed very useful, but the problem is that in the red land, the players' ultimate goal is not to kill a boss or defeat an enemy, but to rebuild this world.

As a result, the pursuit of quick success and immediate benefit is no longer a viable option.

Fortunately, Chen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest after noticing that Qin Chuan's body had been restored. He then used his administrator privileges to deduct five reconstructive points from his account.

In reality, Qin Chuan had only earned thirty or so reconstructive points, barely enough to buy three resurrection coins.

After completing all the tasks, Chen Jiu carried the bodies of several people into the living area and laid them on their respective beds.

The living area of the institute had a total of twelve rooms, which was enough for the time being.

After looking at the UI, Chen Jiu realized that it was only nine o'clock in the evening on the Red Ground and there were still about twelve hours until dawn. Since there was nothing he could do as an individual during this time, he decided to log off and go to work in the real world until six o'clock in the afternoon, which was six o'clock in the morning on the Red Ground.

It wasn't that he didn't want to have dinner and take a break, but the key was that his Qin Chuan was really slow in clocking out and clocking in!

No, he was even 10 minutes early.

After receiving the request to join the other side, Chen Jiu immediately entered the Red Earth world, and then pretended to be busy and ran to the research institute outside the passage to collect meat jerky. After watching the show enough, he finally put Qin Chuan in.

----The reason for doing this was mainly because he didn't want other players to think that he was always in the game like an NPC.

From what can be seen now, he still doesn't trust these players who are messing around in the "game". Chidi is very weak in emotional judgment. When encountering sudden situations, he doesn't know how to deal with them.

Just as he was carrying the meat jerky into the passage and had not taken a few steps, he bumped into Qin Chuan who was shouting.

Wow! Hey, brother, when did you get here? Did you just wake up from bed? I actually woke up from bed too!

I also woke up from bed--I guess it must have been a version update.

Chen Jiu chuckled to himself. Was he joking or did he really drag me here without me knowing?

Could this be considered a very novel experience?

Well, for someone like me who is fully aware of the real world, it's nothing special, but for Qin Chuan, a purely recreational player, every kind of experience is special.

"My injury is healed--wait, my score has dropped by 5 points?!?"

"What the heck! Does this game have treatments you can't refuse?"

"The record says I almost died, which triggered the treatment... I didn't feel anything wrong before I logged off yesterday, I wasn't feeling uncomfortable at all."

Chen Jiu wished he could give him an eye roll. The words 'seriously injured' were almost written on his face, but he chose to ignore it and now he was saying he didn't feel anything?

It looks like they'll have to raise Qin chuan's pain awareness later, so players don't get confused and randomly die.

But enough complaining, Qin Chuan still enthusiastically helped Chen Jiu collect the smoked meat, then hung the fresh meat and settled the "making jerky" reward in the task interface according to the process.

This task is on a piece-rate basis, with the profits divided among everyone for each piece completed. According to the weight of the dried meat given by Chidi, Chen Jiu issued a total of 40 points, 10 of which went to his own hands.

Of course, there was no use for him to have this thing.

After the two of them had finally hung up the dried meat, Qin Chuan still wanted to go hunting, calling it "doing daily tasks" in a euphemistic way.

It seems that his addiction has not yet gone away, and Chen Jiu has no choice but to follow him out of the cave, saying to him in his head, "Go and research that pile of electrical appliances quickly."

His eyes swept across the bright icon of "Main Task 2 Opening" on the UI interface, and he thought to himself, did you ignore the task I worked so hard to write yesterday?

It seems that when he goes back, he needs to remind Chidi with the animation, otherwise, if he keeps hunting every day, he won't need to do any infrastructure construction.

Just as he was planning the future tasks, he suddenly heard Chidi's alarm.

"Someone is ahead; please be careful." Chen Jiu suddenly stiffened, and then his UI map highlighted the location of the person. Just as Qin Chuan was about to move forward, Chen Jiu pushed him down and whispered, "Don't move, there's someone ahead with a weapon!"
