On the evening of May 23, "Big Stone" told Kong Xiuying through a private chat that he could already remember and log in to the game's username and password; Kong Xiuying told him that he could log in to the 'Novice Village' of the 'Dream Game' in the morning or afternoon and go to practice; He was also introduced to the 'Newbie Village' and reminded him not to think about changing his username and password in the event of uncertainty.

On the afternoon of May 24 (that is, Sunday), "Big Stone" entered the 'novice village' for the first time, and his job was to work in a carpentry shop, with 5 copper coins for half a day; He also knew that the blacksmith shop made a lot of money, but he preferred carpentry. He told Kong Xiuying that his basic personal information was: Mental power: 6; Strength: 8; Stamina: 8; HP: 60.

Xu Ran compared the personal information of "Big Stone" and found that "Big Stone"'s physical strength value was 8, which was one level higher than the physical strength of 7 when he first logged in to the game; It shows that the body is relatively strong. The unit of "Big Stone" is inconvenient to ask for leave due to the large number of orders and heavy workload recently; In the new week, on two days of Saturday and Sunday, he entered the game; As for his work in the carpentry shop, he is still basically competent; As of May 31 (another Sunday), he had deposited 15 copper coins with the owner of the carpentry shop. ……

Kong Xiuying didn't ask for leave this week, but only went to work in a clothing shop on Saturdays and Sundays, and went to the martial arts gym practice room to practice on weekends; By the time she finished spending her in-game currency this week, her right-handed proficiency had reached 95%.

This weekend, Kong Xiuying's team has become a team of 9 people; The team of "Big Stone" is currently a team of 8 people. ……

On the afternoon of May 29th, when Xu Ran logged in to the 'Dream Game', his personal information had become: mental power: 7, strength: 10, physical strength: 10 (originally 9), and HP: 70. Stamina increased by 1 point; And Xu Ran's long-awaited mental power value still hasn't increased. As of May 31, the game currency on Xu Ran's account has accumulated: 9 gold coins and 6 silver coins.

Now Xu Ran is in a selectable state again, with his current game currency accumulation, if there is a month in the game, not less than 30 days, he can go to the blacksmith shop twice a day to make iron, to ensure that within 2 game months, the annual fee of the game will be paid; Although I don't know how many years or months are in the game, common sense calculates that the annual fee must be discounted.

Through his experience in the game by following them and blowing snow, he knows that it is not easy to earn game currency in this game; If you come down in a year, you can save 10 gold coins, and it will also be convenient for his future activities.

Another choice is to maintain and guarantee the payment of the monthly game fee first, and then improve the mental power to 8, and then return to the blacksmith shop and blacksmith to earn an annual fee; The advantage of doing this is that he can learn the intermediate palm at an early stage. This kind of either-or choice made him very entangled; For Xu Ran, he can only rely on earning in-game currency to maintain the renewal fee in the game, because the money he earns in the real world cannot be used here.

If he now chooses the job of one copper coin a day in order to practice his spiritual power; In the future, in order to renew, I will have to work in a blacksmith shop; In terms of time, it is necessary to spend more time and accumulate annual fees; That is to say, you can't enjoy the preferential policy of annual fees as soon as possible; It's a waste of hard-earned in-game currency, and it's a waste of time.

In view of the fact that the game account has been controlled by oneself and alone, there should be no risk of being kicked out of the game for the time being; And the improvement of mental power、For the current him, it should not belong、Can't wait for the situation; As for the intermediate palm technique, although he always hoped that when his mental power value increased to 8, he could learn it immediately, so that he could be more secure and invincible in case of disputes; But this matter should not be an imminent problem, after all, he doesn't need it urgently, he has to use intermediate-level martial arts, and everything must be considered from the big picture. So after thinking about it, he decided to continue working in the blacksmith shop until he had enough money to pay his annual fee. As for the work of the unit, the boss Wang Jie told Xu Ran last Friday that the renovation project of the 232 Institute should be able to start at the end of this month, and the project should be contracted with labor and materials, so that Xu Ran began to work and consider the problem of construction organization. ……

Xu Ran paid attention to "Looking Through the Autumn Water" in the QQ group a few days ago, and felt that this person was a little wrong; always asks others about this and that, but does not mention the process of their own in the game, unlike the habits that newcomers should have; Xu Ran reminded Kong Xiuying and "Big Stone" that when they talked to "Looking Through the Autumn Water", they should talk less and listen more. In the past few days, even "Big Rock" has seen that he has a problem: he usually always asks others, what he is doing in his dreams, what is the activity of the team, etc.; Some questions can make people feel very layman; When he joined the group, he said that he was a team of 4 people, and now he is a team of 5 people, as if it is someone else's team, and if he is promoted by one level, his team will also be upgraded by one level.

But I've never heard him ask about the 'spirit thorn', which is exactly what a newcomer should ask, so everyone feels that he may not be a fellow believer. Kong Xiuying suggested that "looking through the autumn water" should be kicked out of the group directly; Xu Ran thinks that he doesn't know what his motives are now, don't make things too stiff; As long as he is in the group and doesn't talk to him so much, he can't figure out the details of everyone, and after a long time, he may feel bored and quit the group.

If you have something to talk about, you can communicate through private chat. ……

On the morning of Sunday, May 31, Xu Ran encountered a small incident, but it almost made him struggle for a long time. At less than 11 o'clock in the morning, Xu Ran went out to the supermarket to buy daily necessities, and was walking on the side of the road and was heading to the supermarket on the sidewalk; I met a young woman in her 20s and a woman in her 40s, who were also walking on the sidewalk from the opposite side of Xu Ran. At that time, the young woman greeted Xu Ran and said, "Big brother, I want to ask you something." Xu Ran stopped and looked at her and said, "Say it." The middle-aged woman was also standing behind the young woman at this time, looking at Xu Ran silently. Xu Ran muttered in his heart at the time: "These two are probably on the road again, looking for someone to ask for money, and want to cheat to eat and drink." Sure enough, the young woman continued, "Big brother, can you help us both buy a meal?" ”

Before Xu Ran finished her words, she grinded her face and went her own way; Xu Ran's expression at that time was clearly written: "I knew it was like this, don't lie to me." ”

However, when Xu Ran passed by them, the expression of the young woman passing by in front of him made him a little difficult to let go; There was a slight disappointment in his expression, as if everything was expected; In that expression, there was no complaint, just like people also thought that Xu Ran's approach was reasonable; The expression was more helpless and helpless; It's just that I feel it.、It's not very like.,It's an expression of cheating and drinking.。

The middle-aged woman didn't say a word the whole time; When Xu Ran walked by, he had no intention of explaining to him again.

At this time, Xu Ran felt the expressions of the two people, more like saying: They are not very sure whether Xu Ran will help them buy food, but they really want to eat, so they are reluctant to try to ask, looking forward to Xu Ran, in case they will give money. Xu Ran hesitated, what if the two of them really didn't have money to eat and ask him for help because of special reasons; Who can not have a difficult time. If because of his own doubts, he did not help the help-seeker who really needed help, and for himself, this was just a gesture, then Xu Ran would feel a special regret in his heart.

Xu Ran decided to help them, and it didn't cost much to eat a meal; If you help the wrong person, you can only think of yourself as having the eye to recognize people, and you can't spend much unjust money; But if he misses out to help someone who really needs help, he feels guilty for a long time; Because this kind of help is really not enough for him.

He didn't want the look of disappointment that would come to his mind so often that young woman was just asking for a meal and couldn't get it; That would make him feel very immoral.

When Xu Ran turned around and wanted to stop the two people, they had already walked out more than 20 meters away; In the process of walking, I didn't see her two or other passers-by. Xu Ran hurriedly walked a few steps, trying to catch up with them and give them some change; While he was catching up with them from behind, the young woman was ahead, from a car parked on the side of the road, sideways, into the slow lane. Xu Ran also walked from the back of the car to the slow lane, wanting to bypass the car and send money to the young woman; Only then did he realize that there was someone sitting in the driver's seat of the car; At this time, the young woman was talking to the driver at the window of the car on the driver's side; Look at that expression is still there, discussing money; The middle-aged woman, who was also standing on the sidewalk not far in front of the car, was watching the two men talk. Xu Ran retreated to the sidewalk on the side of the road, wanting to wait for the young woman and the driver to finish before giving her the money; After waiting for about 10 seconds, I saw that the young woman and the driver were still talking; Xu Ran felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to stand there and wait for others to speak; I wanted to give the money to the middle-aged woman; But as soon as he took a step forward, he hesitated again.

The middle-aged woman was standing in front of the front right of the car, and if he went to give her money, he would inevitably be seen by the driver of the car; If the driver sees that he doesn't give money to young women anymore, he is equivalent to smashing people's yards; Originally, I wanted to do a good deed, but if I didn't do it behind my back, I would be scolded by others. Xu Ran turned his back, took out 20 yuan from his wallet, and stood on the sidewalk behind the car; With the 20 yuan rolled up in his hand, he leaned on the saddle of a bicycle parked on the side of the road, and looked at the middle-aged woman. The other party should have recognized Xu Ran when he planned to walk up to the young woman; I just didn't say anything, but I occasionally looked at him and watched his movements; When he held the money in his hand, held the bicycle seat, and looked at the middle-aged woman, the other party walked towards Xu Ran; Xu Ran handed her the money; The other party whispered, "Thank you." Xu Ran said lightly: "No thanks." "Actually, there is nothing to thank for; From beginning to end, Xu Ran couldn't confirm whether these two people were real and needed the money to buy a meal, and at this time, the young woman and the driver were still talking there, Xu Ran felt that it was inconvenient at this time, and asked the middle-aged woman again.

Xu Ran twisted his face and left, it was not worth 20 yuan, he had to stand there more and listen to people say 'thank you', and the middle-aged woman didn't say anything more. At the moment when Xu Ran turned his back and took the money from his wallet just now, he was really worried that if there was no small ticket in the wallet, he would have to give someone a big ticket; (I specially found it, and it has already attracted people's attention, and it is definitely inappropriate to leave without giving money); Xu Ran is not reluctant to give up 50 yuan or 100 yuan, but is worried that if those two people are really liars, he will only make people feel more funny behind his back; And 10 yuan for two people to eat, it is obviously not enough, and it is indeed impossible to do it. Luckily, I had the 20 yuan change.

The renovation project of 232 designed by Xu Ran began construction on June 1; Contracted labor and materials, the construction period is 2 months. The construction team is Xu Ran's company and long-term cooperative unit; For decoration materials, Xu Ran has already inspected them in the early stage, and now he is waiting for the boss to make a decision and directly look at the sample procurement.

During the construction period, Xu Ran arranged and controlled the work on site every morning, and went home in the afternoon to enter the 'dream game'; he also told the person in charge of the construction team not to look for him in the afternoon. It is said that Xu Ran is the general manager of the construction, and when the construction team encounters a problem that they can't solve, they really have to look for him at any time; Otherwise, when there are difficulties and construction cannot be carried out, the cost of lost work needs to be borne by someone; Xu Ran does not need to be on site all the time, but he must ensure that he is on call to deal with on-site problems at any time, so as not to cause delays. However, it may be thanks to Xu Ran's improved mental strength, and his brain is very clear; For the situations that he may encounter every afternoon, he has carefully considered and properly solved them in the morning, which also provides a time guarantee for Xu Ran to enter the 'dream game' in the afternoon.

The person in charge of the construction team began to say to Xu Ran, "Don't look for him in the afternoon if you have something", and he was a little angry, but after working for a few days, he found that there was really no big deal in the afternoon, and he needed to contact Xu Ran immediately; In the morning, Xu Ran had already arranged all the work in a step-by-step and orderly manner; He couldn't help but admire Xu Ran's ability to control the scene. Xu Ran still worked at the blacksmith twice a day this week. It's pretty easy for him to work with a sledgehammer now.

As of June 7, the game currency on Xu Ran's account has accumulated: 11 gold coins and 7 silver coins. …… This week, Kong Xiuying still entered the 'dream game' on the afternoon of the weekend, earned 2 silver coins on the first day, and went to the martial arts gym to practice the next day; after consuming 2 silver coins on the second day, her mastery of the right hand of the lady fist has reached 100%, and the proficiency of the left hand has also reached 19%.

Kong Xiuying also feels that entering the game in a sober state should itself be an exercise of mental strength; So now she not only goes in and out of the game at noon every day, but also in and out of the game in the morning in a waking state; She is now awake, and it doesn't take more than 5 minutes to enter the game every time. When she entered the game on the morning of June 5, she also received a notice from the system reminding her to pay the fee, and she also told Xu Ran about it in the evening; However, the next morning, I didn't receive this notice again, and it should be that the fee has been paid by the player Yun Zhongyue. Kong Xiuying's team is still a team of 9 people; In the past few days, from the conversations of the gamers, she knows a piece of information: when the level of the 'Spirit Thorn' reaches level 10, that is, when the spirit power value reaches 20, the player can enter the game scene of the 'Spirit Force Field Space' to exercise, which is a higher level of the game scene than the current one. Kong Xiuying now has a point of view: the players of this game do not enter the game directly, but want to enter the game through the participation of ordinary people, there must be something to say; It is likely that Kong Xiuying and Xu Ran's brains are equivalent to the fuses of those gamers, and they are used to protect the minds of those players from being harmed, which is equivalent to an overload protection.

If this is the case, then you have to find a way to improve your mental power, which is equivalent to increasing the load of your own fuse; Try to keep yourself out of the game as much as possible.
