Chapter 344: The meaning of life is to go to the pier and fish for sardines!
What a confusing day!
Even Ayin himself didn't know what he had done.
Time is like the money in many people's wallets. Even though they haven't done anything, it's gone inexplicably.
The most outrageous thing is that although Ayin felt that the first day in Stardew Valley was just “just passing”, after the overall experience, he did not feel bored at all!
Especially when you wake up the next morning.
Walk out of the room and look at your work from yesterday, look at the large space you have cleared, and look at the backpack of junk you have collected!
Ah Yin, who was standing at the door, could not help but shout out in excitement:
"Oh my god! How come I owe two hundred dollars right after I got here?!!!"
But see this moment!
In the upper right corner of his UI, in the column labeled personal assets, his current funds were clearly displayed -
【-200G】
Bang!
After a little recollection, A Yin slapped his forehead.
Done.
He remembered.
When he fainted last night, he seemed to have seen some relevant instructions in a daze, which seemed to say that he should not let himself faint outside easily, otherwise the village medical team would send him home and charge a reward of 200 yuan.
"Fuck your brother!"
Thinking of this, Ah Yin could not help but feel grief-stricken and beat his chest and stamped his feet:
"I didn't do anything on the board. I worked 20 hours non-stop on the first day and didn't make a cent. I even lost 200 yuan. Fuck you..."
A few angry groans!
In the live broadcast room, Ah Yin shouted in a deep voice:
"Cousin! Get on board! I'll take you to farm! Damn it, I must earn back my two hundred dollars!"
Yes.
After being reminded by the barrage, Ayin was pleasantly surprised to learn that the game could actually be played online.
So, thinking that there is strength in numbers, A Yin called his cousin to join the online game early the next morning.
With the addition of my cousin, a small green house appeared in the CSTG farm.
That was my cousin’s house, which was smaller than Ayin’s main base and contained only a small bed and a small box.
"No? Are we still living separately? Why don't we just live together?"
After realizing that the two of them could sleep in one bed, at the cousin's suggestion, his original house became a storage room for the CSTG farm.
The two of them also made a few boxes and sorted out the junk they currently had with them.
Yes.
Although for this world, an open-ended role-playing game like Stardew Valley has never appeared.
However, the natural talent of organizing and farming in the blood of the Chinese people has guided them to manage the farms skillfully and in their initial stage.
There were neat little fields planted with parsnips, and in the utility room boxes were sorted and stored wood fibres and stones.
Crash——crash——
As Ayin picked up the small kettle and watered the windflowers, he felt happy.
Weirdly fun.
Yes.
Although it is hard to say what is fun about this game, but when he plants the seeds and waters them, the anticipation of harvest makes him feel genuinely comfortable.
Moreover, after a brief exploration, Yin and his cousin discovered that there was more to deal with than just this one thing -
In the wasteland on the farm, in addition to small pieces of dead branches and stones, there are also relatively large tree stumps and boulders.
These things are something that the stone farm tools they currently have cannot handle.
They also needed copper axes and pickaxes, so they had to find out where they could get copper.
"Maybe someone in town will give us a mission?"
The two men discussed it and then, following Mayor Lewis' instructions, set off for the town.
While passing by the suburbs, my cousin even picked up two wild wasabi and green onions from the field. I don't know what they are for, but he said he could put them in the [sales box] when he gets home to see if he can sell them.
Soon, the two arrived in town.
The two also used their vivid reactions to show all the audience what it means to "go to the city with wild animals".
"Wow--!!!"
As soon as they arrived in the town, they both exclaimed in unison.
In this small town called Pelican Town, there is harmony and exquisiteness.
The stone path is neat and clean. In the small flower beds on the roadside, the lush plants are swaying gently in the spring breeze.
The huge trees are trimmed to be round and delicate, as if one can smell the fresh scent through the screen.
Walking into the town, the first two-story building near the north side is the town hospital. The doctor here is called Harvey, but Harvey was not there when they arrived.
Next to the town hospital is a small shop called Pierre's Grocery Store, where lives a family of three: the kind store owner Pierre, the beautiful green-haired proprietress Caroline, and their daughter Abigail, who has beautiful long purple hair and loves adventure.
Further east, Grandpa George and his family live in a two-story villa.
In a small RV southeast of Grandpa George's house lived the somewhat poor mother and daughter Pam and Penny.
As for further south, it is the residence of Mayor Lewis.
Of course.
In addition, there is the Vincent family in the southwest corner, the Haley sisters next door to the Vincent family, and the blacksmith shop and library across the small bridge on the east side.
but!
Except for these homes and buildings in the town.
There is also a supermarket in the northeast corner of the town center.
It is different from the general buildings in the town which are simple, beautiful and full of bright colors.
This supermarket is built entirely of glass curtain walls. A huge freight truck is parked next to the supermarket, exuding a cold and majestic atmosphere, which seems to be out of place in this small town.
At the entrance of the supermarket, there is a sign of this supermarket:
【Komei Wangdi Supermarket】
"Ah - bad thing -"
Seeing this, A Yin raised his eyebrows in sudden realization.
It seems that the big boss of this game should be this Komeiwangdi Supermarket.
After all, this thing looks different from the style of the entire town.
It seems like they want to transform the town into a modern city of reinforced concrete.
However, at present, Ko Mei Wangdi does not seem to have shown his ambitions, at least they have not seen it. It is estimated that it will be reflected in the subsequent plot.
Took a tour!
To be honest, Ayin was a little unexpected.
I was surprised at how rich this game is.
You must know!
What were the two pixel-style mini-games from Golden Wind?
To the moon and vampire survivors.
To the Moon is undoubtedly a masterpiece, and it can be said to be the ceiling of story-based pixel games.
But if you look at it vertically, you can see that the overall narrative flow of To the Moon is purely linear.
Although in theory, the protagonist controlled by the player can also move freely up, down, left and right.
But because the plot is fixed, no matter how much you move as a player, you can only trigger the main key plot at a specific time and place.
So in terms of game content, Going to the Moon is a bit thin.
It can even be said that the vampire survivors are one step ahead of it in this regard.
but!
This time!
The Stardew Valley brought by Golden Wind has put a lot of effort into the game content!
There are nearly twenty NPCs in such a small town!
They all have different shapes, personalities, speaking tones and habits, and they all seem to have their own stories!
"hiss--"
Ah Yin couldn't help but take a breath and nodded slowly:
"It seems interesting, huh?"
The audience seemed to have discovered the ingenuity of it.
"Everyone has a loving heart. Is this a measure of favorability?"
"According to galgame experience, a certain level of favorability can trigger a plot. I wonder if this is the case in Stardew Valley."
"Oh, judging from the old thief's usual style, he should be able to do it, right?"
"Oh my god... that's a lot of text..."
"I feel like this game is a bit more playable..."
'Although it seems that the game does not have a clear goal, there are actually many things that can be done'
'It seems like there is no goal, but it also seems like there is a goal everywhere'
"Indeed, you can earn money by farming, you can be a prostitute and find girls, and you can also..."
"fishing?!"
My cousin was shocked:
"Oh my god! Hey! The mayor said we can go visit Willy on the beach south of town. He said we can go fishing there."
"ah?"
Here, Ayin is still trying to give Abigail gifts to gain her favor.
Suddenly she heard her cousin's exclamation, so she left Abigail and ran over in a hurry.
As expected.
After visiting the townspeople, the old mayor Lewis suggested that they go to the beach and try fishing.
You can farm, pick up girls, and go fishing!
Damn it!
A Yin was shocked.
What kind of heaven is this?!
It is simply an ideal place on earth.
Apart from the fact that I was a little upset about the $200 loss I had suffered so far, this place was simply a dream place.
So, after saying goodbye to the mayor, Ayin and his cousin went straight to the beach.
Here they found a veteran fisherman named "Willy" in a small wooden house by the sea. He was an old man with a white beard, wearing dark brown breeches and a melon-shaped hat.
Willy was a very nice man. He gave the two men fishing rods and some bait for free.
"Maybe this is the best way for fishermen to lure people into the trap..."
In response to this, A Yin nodded slightly and commented.
While saying.
Following Willy's instructions, Ayin, standing on the beach, charged the power with the left button and then threw the hook!
Bang!
The float was thrown out and landed on the sea surface with a soft thud .
Crash——
Crash——
A gentle sea breeze blew, ruffling Yin's hair.
Although it is pixel style.
But in that seemingly blurred block of color, there is no lack of details.
The character's hair will sway gently in the sea breeze, and the ripples floating on the water will also slowly ripple.
The sea surface sparkled under the reflection of the setting sun, and flocks of seagulls were circling over the golden beach.
"Oh, it's really nice."
Seeing this, A Yin couldn't help but sigh:
"It would be nice if I could live like this someday. I wouldn't have to think about anything. I could just set up a fishing rod, sit by the sea all day, and watch the tides rise and fall. That would be nice..."
Speaking of.
A Yin couldn't help but be a little dazed.
Peace of mind.
It seemed like he hadn't felt the kind of peace of mind he felt in the game for a long, long time.
Work, family, life...
Responsibility was like a huge stone, weighing on his shoulders forever, and he had almost gotten used to this kind of tense fatigue.
How long has it been since I was alone, staring at the sea without thinking about anything?
Why is it that even though Tianjin is so close to the sea, it seems like I haven’t seen the sea for a long time?
well……
Thinking of this, Ah Yin sighed softly, seemed a little disappointed, and asked:
"Cousin, what do you think we are busy with?"
"ah?"
Over there, my cousin was fighting with a fish. He didn't react for a moment and thought he was talking about a game.
After all, fishing in Stardew Valley is not an easy thing, especially for novices.
As the fish is hooked, the fish icon will randomly jump up and down in the column, and the player needs to control so that the green capture bar can cover the fish icon at any time. It is a job that requires practice and is not easy.
While my cousin was "fighting" with the fish, he said absentmindedly:
"Aren't we going to the pier to do some fishing?"
"Tsk, no"
Ah Yin was a little amused and said:
"I mean, we're so busy, from morning till night, what's the meaning of life?"
However!
Before he finished speaking!
Then I heard my cousin next to me cheering!
"Wuhu! Holy crap! Sardines! With silver stars! Hahahahaha!"
“What is the meaning of life?”
“The meaning of life is to go to the pier and fish for some sardines!”
