Bell's English is very good, probably because he is British.
...
When the two returned from exploring the center of the island, the first thing they did was to plant the new vegetable seeds they had collected in the vegetable garden. Zhang Heng hesitated again and again, but he gave up the idea of making a short skirt for himself. The main reason was that he still couldn't cosplay Monkey King because the skirt didn't have a stick.
In the end, Bell processed two jaguar skins into blankets and spread them on the bed. Soon afterward, the breeding garden was filled with the prey captured by the explorers.
Mickey Mouse seemed a little surprised to see that he suddenly had so many neighbors. Zhang Heng even found a wife for him, so that the two people on the island would have bird eggs to eat in the future.
Now Zhang Heng finally has a feeling of conquering nature. There are more than 20 kinds of vegetables that can be eaten, and there are even two more seasonings. Fish and crabs in the pond can be fished casually, and meat can be eaten every day. The important thing is that there is finally someone around who can talk.
It feels like Robinson Crusoe meets Friday.
Well, from a teacher-student standpoint he might be more like a little Friday.
Zhang Heng now spends at least 4 hours a day learning English with Bell, covering both listening, speaking, reading and writing. Besides, he has not given up on archery training. Although the goal of practicing archery has disappeared now, this matter Persisting for a year has become his habit, Zhang Heng just doesn't spend as much time as before, and Bell also taught him a few small ways of self-defense.
At this point, Zhang Heng finally felt a little bit like the master of nature.
And his trip to the deserted island was coming to an end. In the early morning of the 520th day, a rescue ship saw a rescue bonfire lit by the beach, released a lifeboat, and saw a woman jumping from it before landing. He got into the water and ran over crying.
"My wife, Keira." The explorer also put down the homemade fishing rod in his hand and stood up excitedly.
The two hugged each other tightly.
Then Bell took off the knife from his waist and put it in Zhang Heng's hand, "According to our previous promise, this thing belongs to you. I have been to many dangerous places on the earth, polar regions, deserts, plateaus... However, a real It is the first time for me to live on a deserted island. This is a very unforgettable and precious experience. You are my forever friend. These days, not only you learn knowledge from me, but I also learn a lot from you. For example, my first Once I realized that there is such a thing as grammar in English.”
"..."
"Come on, my friend, it's time for us to go home."
Zhang Heng followed Bell and his wife to board the rescue boat, and there were reporters from several TV stations on board. Everyone cheered and applauded when they saw the explorer returned safely.
Zhang Heng took a hot bath on the boat, changed into the clothes provided by the sailors, and finally felt like returning to a civilized society. However, instead of joining the carnival that followed, he found a quiet corner where no one was paying attention. There, because it was almost two hours before he left the real world.
It was definitely the longest two hours of his life.
Zhang Heng was still a little curious about how he was going to return to the real world, but the next moment his eyes suddenly went dark, and the familiar notification sounded again.
[The return deadline has been reached, and the task is completed and confirmed...]
[Clear the newcomer dungeon Desert Island Survival, the first round of the game is over, and will return to the real world soon...]
...
When Zhang Heng regained his vision, he found himself sitting in front of the bar counter, with the glass of lemonade in front of him that he had only taken a sip of.
Zhang Heng reached out to touch his cheek immediately, but it turned out that the thick stubble and the rough texture after the wind and sun had disappeared.
The bartender lady thoughtfully took out a foundation box from her small bag and handed it to someone.
With the help of the mirror above, Zhang Heng saw that he was no different from when he first came to the bar. He was still wearing the original sportswear and sneakers, and the Swiss Army knife was also in his pocket.
"So what is this, a strange dream?"
"No, you did disappear in the previous two hours, not only in this room, in this bar, but in any corner of the world." The bartender lady took back her foundation box , "Now you should have a lot of questions in your mind, but unfortunately I can't answer most of them. You need to explore by yourself in the game."
"..."
"All I can tell you is that this game will be played every natural month. Except for the first round, the time is fixed. You can choose any time to come to the game point to play the game. It doesn't have to be the Sex and the City bar, because every There is more than one game point in the city, if you can’t find it, you can call the customer service, use the special login service after paying a certain price, and you will be disqualified as a player if you fail to log in within the time limit.”
"Participants in the game accept the non-disclosure agreement by default. Don't disclose anything related to the game to people other than the players and staff. Well, this is also the most basic constraint. Don't take chances."
The bartender touched her chin, "What else, let me think about it... Oh, besides logging in to the game, the game point also provides other services. You can also consult customer service for detailed service content."
She tore off a post-it sticker and quickly left a string of numbers on it, "This is the customer service number, don't call if you have nothing to do, because your customer service is me."
"You do a lot of work." Zhang Heng said with emotion.
"No way, who made housing prices in big cities so high now." The bartender lady sighed, "Okay, do you have anything else to do?"
Zhang Heng took out a bunch of fluffy things from his pocket, "Among the services you mentioned, doesn't the package include identification?"
Not just the beard on his face and the scar on his shoulder, but everything in that copy, including a large pile of stone tools he made and the knife Bell gave him, failed to return to reality with him in the end.
Only this rabbit's foot of unknown use was still quietly lying in his pocket.
"Game props?" The bartender lady was surprised, "It seems that you have gained a lot this time. The number of such items is very rare. Many people will not encounter one after several rounds of games. I can indeed identify them here. , but the handling fee requires 5 game points, do you have any?"
"How to pay?"
The bartender lady took out a tablet computer, tapped it a few times to bring up the payment interface, "Enter your player number and click confirm, don't worry about the number being used by others, this kind of payment must be done by yourself efficient."
Maybe it's because Zhang Heng has seen too many unscientific things after stepping into the bar, and Zhang Heng has become a little numb.
He had memorized the string of numbers a long time ago. After finishing typing, the bartender lady put on gloves and put the rabbit's foot away in a small wooden box.
"The appraisal will take some time, about two or three days. I will send you a message when it is completed."
Zhang Heng was attracted by her actions, and suddenly an ominous premonition rose in his heart, "Wait, what do you mean, why are you so careful?"
