Virtual World - Earth Online
Ch.18 - The Feast of the Unggun Fire
That night, the bonfire party, as promised by Cui Yingyu, was very lively. Everyone gathered in the public square in front of Lord’s Manor, and built a huge fire with firewood. A group of people gathered around them, singing and dancing.
Lingbo Yingyu's dance mesmerized the entire city. It was a gentle dance, with light steps, like clouds floating in the air, and also like sunlight dancing on the water. It made it seem like a wave was floating along the dance. It could be described as a short step lingbo luring anyone who saw it.
General Shi's sword dance was also incredible. His sword was like a white snake, hissing in the wind. It moved like a dragon, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, hitting like thunder and moving like lightning. It was a case of silver light from the square that could pierce through one's chest from afar.
Not to be outdone, the Dexian elder, along with the native villagers from Zhao village, arranged a pole dance. Percussion instruments have a strong rhythm, with a sharp, high-pitched voice, and are very lively. The burst of laughter mixed together with the light and sound of the bamboo flute conveyed the mood of the people. The celebratory music showed their happiness, moving the entire Shanhai Village with the joy and happiness of the dance.
At the height of that night, Ouyang Shuo sang a modern version of ‘Luo Shen Fui’:
Luoshui River in the east, legends spread from time to time, a paradise in the human world.
In the dream I saw, a woman of heaven, stumbled lightly like a goose in shock.
The six dragons, the carriage of clouds, carried him back to the high heavens, leaving behind a tale.
When the story was told, one would say, it was King Xiang's dream. The dream ended, tears soaking in the towel, running down my cheeks.
Young people are untouched by time, yet man and God have different paths, only earrings remain as souvenirs.
The wind blew and time passed, historians noted and wondered who was anonymous.
When they asked today, was this memorial temple, which was built on the river bank?
The art of Goddess Luo, to calm and comfort my heart.
The scent he left behind, his reflection in my mind.
The wind blew and time passed, the universe changed from nothing to everything.
Is it love, just to make a human being go crazy, and a goddess who gives up.
The art of Goddess Luo, who still sings lines of poetry?
The river flows without respect.
The people in Shanhai Village, including Ouyang Shuo and General Shi, were all refugees and destined to meet together. A simple bonfire party that relieves the pain of everyone's displacement helps bring them together. The celebrations helped reinforce the feeling that Shanhai Village was truly their home now.
“System Notice: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for the success of the bonfire party! Villagers appreciate the hospitality of their Lord! The spirit of your people increased by 5 points! ”
Ouyang Shuo really did not need to look at the damn commands from the system. He was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the party, and now it reminded him that it was all just a game.
Unfortunately, it was already late at night, so he went back to his room, and came out.
When he came out, it was 9 in the morning. This time Binger had already gone to school alone, and Sun Xiaoyue naturally had also long since gone to class. He was too lazy to go downstairs for breakfast, so he fried two eggs and drank a glass of milk for a simple breakfast.
Opening his brain, he discovers that he has a new email. When he opened it, he found that it was an invitation letter from his original Junior High School. The letter had been sent by his class president Yuan Ping, who had invited him to a reunion party.
The essence of the letter is that since graduating from Junior High, the classes have not met together for a long time. During this year's Spring Festival, a class party will be held in Guifang Park. He hopes that everyone arranges their own journey first, we must attend, etc. And so forth.
Thinking about it, it had actually been seven or eight years since he had seen the rest of his class from Junior High School. OuyangShuo could not even remember the names of many of them, the memories were already blurred.
At that moment, if nothing important happened, Ouyang Shuo decided to go and participate. After all, this was probably the only reunion they would have. A year later, they would board a star ship, and if they were to meet again, it would happen after so many years.
After all, there was still time until the Spring Festival, so it was not worth worrying about. Opening the game forum, Ouyang Shuo noticed the trending posts of the other players.
At the top of the discussion post, Shanhai Village Village had violated the Six Tyrant Handan monopoly, claiming the sixth promotion to a second-rate Village in China! ’
Ouyang Shuo browsed through the comments, dumbfounded at the chaos, not knowing what to say.
Poster 1: “I'm sure Qiyue Wiuyi is the descendant of a big family full of secrets!”
Poster 2: + Bet + 1, stay downstairs! ’
Third poster: ‘Invisible donkey, both of the above have seen too many novels!”
Poster 4: floor Upstairs, I think he's lucky! ’
Poster 5: y Qiyue Wuyi, people want to give birth to a child for you! ’
Poster 7: ‘Crazy Warriors of the World, recruit members, if interested, please contact Crazy Warriors quickly!’
Poster 8: advertising Advertising upstairs, pay for advertising, thank you! ’
Poster 9: ‘Crazy Warrior of the World is a garbage union, do not be fooled by its recruitment!’
10: “On the top floor, I want to kill you!”
The post is crazy. Ouyang Shuo quietly went elsewhere, ready to see another popular post. Not surprisingly, after Chun Shenjun, Zhan Lang sent his trusted subordinate, Blood Wolf to the forum to publicly earn more game currency.
Unfortunately, there is still no fixed market price. Didn't he see financial director Chun Shenjun set the purchase price at 2 credits for 1 copper?
Another post caught the attention of Ouyang Shuo. Among the Adventurers, someone finally obtained the mercenary tokens, and formed the first mercenary group in the game – group of Evil Blood mercenaries.
The head of that mercenary group was called Blood Romance, a level 21 knight expert, currently #1 in the player ranking list. They were the first to form a mercenary group, but still had not received any system announcements in the game. It shows Gaia's preference for the players in the host game mode.
Exploring a little more, Ouyang Shuo found no other useful information, and closed the forum. It's time to start studying history and recharge her.
*************************************
In the evening when Binger returns from school, she seems a bit upset that her brother has not woken up in the morning to send her to school. Ouyang Shuo had to pull out all the stops and make some of his favorite dishes to reduce his displeasure.
Sun Xiaoyue, seeing Ouyang Shuo putting so much importance into the game every day, was also very curious, and asked him, “Hey, this Earth Online game, is this really so much fun? I was wondering, and none of the students in my class were playing that game! ”
Ouyang Shuo smiled mysteriously. “The biggest charm of the game is how the region is built and its realism, not the unbeatable type of leveling game that comes with no effort. Most people are not patient enough to play it. If the requirements allow, I suggest you also learn to play it. ”
Xiaoyue rolled his eyes. “Please! I don't like you, being able to spend 100,000 credits to buy a game cabin without batting an eye! ”
Reluctantly, Ouyang Shuo could only tell him so far. If he did not listen, it would miss his own luck. There is no way he can tell her about the truth of the game in his past ‘’. He had no evidence to show him that there was a problem, even if he would believe him, he also could not explain how he knew such a thing. He certainly could not tell her that he was reborn from the future!
To compensate for not being there in the morning, Ouyang Shuo did not leave immediately at night, first helping Binger do his homework and reciting fairy tales for him at night. By the time he persuaded his little sister to go to sleep, it was now 10 p.m.
For him, the game is important, but Binger is the most important. The game was only a means to success, but it was only meant to help his family. Quite often, people are confused by the appearance of things. Without clarifying the intent and purpose, people will lose themselves.
In addition, Shanhai Village has established a complete organizational structure due to its efforts in promoting people. Even if he was not there for a short time, his territory would still operate smoothly.
Once logged in, it's time to get out and go to work. Shuo went to the edge of the courtyard, teasing Blackfang.
The horses didn't really like dogs, so Ouyang Shuo wasn't sure to let the dogs run around. Usually, it was tied up in the courtyard. When he was free, he would hold it as he walked around the village. With nothing special to do today, Ouyang Shuo's guilty conscience encourages him to take Blackfang and visit the village.
Walking around the village and looking at the houses growing from the ground, Ouyang Shuo felt both happy and proud. This was a village that belonged entirely to him, and he led everyone out of the wilderness to build it. It had started from zero, starting from the first log laid.
The villagers loved him and thanked him for providing shelter for them in the wild. His subordinates respected him, admired his foresight, and were grateful that they could use his knowledge to perform at a higher level than their own abilities and talents.
Along the way, the villagers saw him would smile and bow to him. Ouyang Shuo did not act arrogant, and would stop to chat, asking them if there was a problem he did not know about. If there are any difficulties, they should be shared, to further help everyone solve them!
Last night's bonfire party was clearly on everyone's mind, especially Yingyu's beautiful Lingbo dance and General Shi's sword dance momentum. Of course, there was also the singing of their Lord; it was not bad, but the tone was a bit strange, as if people were listening to foreign music.
When he came to the village, he saw that Zhao Dewang was overseeing the construction of the first arrow tower with the construction crew. General Shi stood to the side, studying the job. The general obviously had far more authority in building the tower than the Secretary elder Dexian did because he knew more about it. Seeing Ouyang Shuo coming, the two of them quickly came over.
General Shi's voice, as usual, was quite loud. “God!” He almost screamed.
Zhao Dewang followed behind him, greeting quickly, “Baginda!”
Shuo waved the formality, still in a very good mood. With a smile on Dewang he said, “No need to stand on ceremony. Secretary Dewang is busy, truly worthy of praise! ”
Zhao Dewang still held the title of vice-director of construction, and was naturally intent on proving himself through deeds. His fear that he was not doing well and that his master would criticize him would be rested, calming his heart. With a simple he said, “I dare not claim credit. The reason this tower could be built smoothly was thanks to General Shi's suggestion. Without his guidance, we wouldn't know where to start! ”
General Shi was not a person who knew decency. Smiling to the side, he said proudly, “This is not too difficult, this is the simplest arrow tower. I used to lead people into war; such siege towers were much stronger! ”
General Shi turned around and looked at Ouyang Shuo. “Master, my last observation of the terrain tells Me that we must build towers at every corner of our fence to increase the defensive power of the village. Unfortunately, there were not enough bows and arrows, nor was there any way to train would-be beginners in them. ”
Ouyang Shuo slightly nodded, and looked back at Zhao Dewang. “According to General Shi's words, request the Construction Division's arrangement coordinate.”
Zhao Dewang hurriedly said that in two days he could build all the towers. Ouyang Shuo nodded, and for no more reason to remain, turned to return to his courtyard, holding onto Blackfang.
