After walking around the village for a few times, Lin Feng knew the location of the shops and some local customs and practices in the village. He also fell in love with this quiet and comfortable little village. If there is such a small village in reality, where you can get rid of the hustle and bustle of the city, breathe the fresh and natural air, and taste the most simple pleasures of life, how pleasant it would be. It's a pity that in reality, there are already high-rise buildings everywhere, and everywhere is covered by cities and road networks. Except for a few cultural heritage sites and nature reserves that receive a few lucky tourists every year, most city residents can't find such a comfortable village to travel and vacation. Therefore, the virtual world of smart online games has become the first choice for people to travel and vacation.
Several relatives in the village were talking about their own family affairs; in the shed of the grocery store, two old grandfathers with white beards were playing chess intently; Fatty from the Li family and Goudan from the Liu family were studying how to take bird eggs under the big willow tree in the village; Erya from the Xue family and Niuniu from the Zhang family were drawing beautiful flowers on the ground with tree branches...
Everything was like a flowing painting, and it looked so beautiful. Lin Feng felt as if he had gradually integrated into this village, and into this world... Just like the time travel described in the novel, everything around him seemed so real.
"Beep, beep, beep!" A series of rapid sounds were heard.
Lin Feng knew that it was the game illusion prompt sound, which was used to remind players who were completely lost in the game world that this world was an illusion. This was to prevent players from being lost in consciousness for a long time and unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, thus developing mental disorders.
A white figure flashed by, which seemed even more refreshing than the system prompt just now. It was the big white goose that Lin Feng was looking for.
"It's delivered to my doorstep! I said that in this small village the size of a palm, finding an insect might be a bit difficult, but finding a big white goose should be a piece of cake!" How could Lin Feng miss such an opportunity? He flashed towards the big white goose with full confidence.
The big white goose was quite agile. When it saw Lin Feng chasing it, it accelerated and ran away, holding the village chief's pipe in its mouth and shaking off its short legs. It really felt like it was running at high speed.
"Damn, is this a goose? How come it runs faster than a rabbit?" Lin Feng didn't expect the big white goose to be so strong. He also quickly sped up and chased after it. Anyway, you don't know how to get tired in the game. No matter how much you run, you won't be exhausted and out of breath, so persistence is victory.
Because there are some hidden settings in online games, it is impossible for players to spend a long time on a main quest, or even fail to complete it no matter how hard they work. In that case, it is not people playing games, but the games playing people.
Therefore, most tasks in the "Phoenix Heart" online game will show a difficulty bar in the task bar, and the specific value of the difficulty bar will be determined according to the specific difficulty and level of the task. The higher the reward of the task, the higher the difficulty and level of the task, and the value of the difficulty bar will also increase accordingly.
For example, some tasks are obviously of low difficulty, but they happen to encounter novice players, or players who are not adapted to the tasks. As a result, the players try their best but still cannot complete the tasks. This often undermines the players' confidence and enthusiasm in the game and kills their fun in the game.
With the task difficulty slot, the above problems will be solved. If you work hard on a task but never succeed, the difficulty slot will gradually accumulate. Once it is full, the difficulty slot reward will be triggered, and the difficulty of the task will be directly reduced to zero, so you can complete it easily.
Just like the previous task of finding the mysterious locksmith, when the difficulty bar reaches zero, the mysterious locksmith will come to the player in person and ask you to complete the task directly. This means that it does not depend on your performance but only on your efforts. If you work hard enough, you can complete the task and will be rewarded. Therefore, the difficulty bar system has been praised by thousands of players, and some game websites have also given it good reviews.
While Lin Feng was chasing the big white goose, his task difficulty bar was also increasing little by little, but Lin Feng still felt that the growth was a bit slow. Although this difficulty bar is good, it would save a lot of task time and be more efficient if the player could directly complete the task through hard work. Lin Feng had entered the game two months later than his three roommates, and the three of them had reached level 10 or above. If Lin Feng wanted to catch up, he could only start from every detail, and only by accumulating little by little could he catch up with his roommates in the shortest time.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng decided to make a quick decision. He began to think seriously about how to quickly capture this naughty white goose.
"I am faster than the big white goose after all, but the big white goose always relies on drifting around corners to increase the distance between me and it. However, I found that it will not run out of the village, and it will turn right when I run on its left side, and it will turn left when I run on its right side. With these rules, maybe I can force it into the only dead end in the village. Then it will have nowhere to escape and it will be easy to catch."
Lin Feng saw the pattern and made up his mind. He turned around and around and soon forced the big white goose into the only dead end in the village. The big white goose ran into the dead end and realized that it had no way out. It turned back and looked at Lin Feng in a panic. It was obvious that it was no longer as calm as before.
"Hehe, let's see where you can run." Lin Feng guarded the entrance of the alley and began to slowly approach the big white goose.
The big white goose panicked when it saw that it was cornered, but there is always a way out. When it turned around, it found a dog hole at the foot of the wall. It immediately went in without hesitation, holding its pipe in its mouth.
"Damn, you can do this? And you don't even take the usual route. Let me see how far you can run." Lin Feng also became serious. Seeing that the wall of this family's courtyard was not high, he took a running start and jumped up to grab the top of the wall, then turned over and followed in.
The skills of the characters in the game are comparable to those of excellent athletes in reality. Lin Feng jumped into the courtyard easily and landed lightly with his feet. He looked around first, but did not find any trace of the big white goose.
"How could it disappear? That's impossible?" When Lin Feng climbed over the wall, he was afraid that the big white goose would go out through the dog hole, so he kept a close eye on the dog hole. Therefore, he was sure that the big white goose was still hiding in the courtyard.
The courtyard of this family was not big, but it was kept clean and tidy. There were also several pots of bright flowers and plants placed under the windows, emitting a refreshing fragrance. On the other side of the courtyard was a donkey shed, and a little donkey was tilting its head and looking at Lin Feng, the uninvited guest, curiously. After looking around, it seemed that apart from this donkey shed, there was no place suitable for the big white goose to hide.
It seemed that the little donkey was quite friendly and didn't seem like it would kick up a fuss easily. Thinking of this, Lin Feng prepared to go and see if there was any trace of the big white goose in the donkey shed. But at this moment, another strange phenomenon attracted him even more. White mist was slowly emerging from the gaps in the doors and windows of this family...
"Is this alchemy, or ascension? How can such a powerful aura come out of an ordinary country family?" Lin Feng held his breath and curiously leaned over the crack of the window to find out what was going on. (To be continued)
