"Mom, I'm not avoiding blind dates. I'm genuinely busy. The company only recently took on a new project, and I've been working overtime until midnight every day. How would I have time for blind dates?"
"What? A female teacher, and she's a D-cup? So what? Does being a D-cup mean I can put off my overtime? Mom, it isn't easy for me to find a job right now. Don't keep worrying about that part of my life. Once I'm done here, I'll contact you myself. All right, that's it. I'm hanging up. The manager is still waiting for me to fix a bug."
After Pu Yunchuan hung up, he let out a long sigh of relief. Then he shut down his computer and lay down inside the Game Pod.
As he opened the game, he grumbled unhappily, "I really don't know what Mom is thinking. All she does is tell me to go on blind dates, as if I'd magically get a daughter-in-law just by going on one. She really thinks too much...
"Games are still the best!"
So programmers weren't unwilling to leave their homes. They just... knew themselves too well!
Welcome back, player G Ni Tai Mei! Your accumulated work hours have exceeded four hours and have been automatically exchanged for points. Your current total is 271 points!
After a familiar notification tone rang out, Pu Yunchuan walked out of the Nutrient Pod and pressed the conversion button to obtain his Green Titan body. After a wave of dizziness, he woke up in a dimly lit room.
Yes, a room—not some pile of sand or mining factory!
After the lord returned this time, he not only brought back a group of instructor NPCs, but also provided these players with private dormitories.
The dormitories were something like compressed files. As long as they found a slightly level patch of ground and pressed the decompression button, a small iron house would automatically form.
One bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. The facilities were quite complete, and the decor was highly technological. This benefit earned unanimous praise from the Green Titan players!
With dormitories, they no longer had to be driven outside to sleep on the sand because of their excessive size!
Although Green Titans had thick skin and tough flesh, having to call their teammates over to dig them out of a pile of sand every time they logged in was still quite unpleasant.
Of course, there were drawbacks. Once they had a room, they had to pay attention to its cleanliness at all times, and they could no longer relieve themselves wherever they pleased. They had to use the Toilet Converter in the room, manually operating it to convert their feces and urine into organic fertilizer crystals and deliver them to the Sprites in the Agriculture Department.
Speaking of which, this damn game actually had bowel movements. Wasn't its realism taking things a little too far?
After complaining for a while, Pu Yunchuan opened the system and checked his schedule and information.
Player: G Ni Tai Mei. Race: Green Titan. Life Level: One. Class: Miner. Accumulated Points: 271.
Attributes: Strength: 1.6. Agility: 0.4. Mental Strength: 0.1. Constitution: 1.9.
"Whoa, my Constitution is already 1.9?" Pu Yunchuan was delighted. The number-one Liver King only had 2.0, so his Constitution could already be considered outstanding. As long as he improved his Skill Class a little more, he should have a guaranteed spot in this large-scale mission, right?
At this thought, he hurriedly said to the system, "System, please help me book an instructor!"
Certainly. Which instructor would you like to book?
"When is Teacher Hellsing's next available time slot?" Pu Yunchuan asked.
Searching... Please wait...
Hello, player. Instructor Hellsing's next available time slot is in four hours. Twenty-seven players have already booked it, and only the last three slots remain. Would you like to make a reservation?
Damn, he really was the most sought-after instructor!
At this thought, Pu Yunchuan didn't dare hesitate and quickly nodded. "Yes!"
Reservation successful!
You have booked Instructor Hellsing's Gunmanship Specialization Beginner's Edition course and Beginner Battle Qi Guidance Course. Please arrive at the designated training ground on time in four hours. Before then, try to conserve your stamina. It would be best not to apply for work within the next two hours.
Please note: Reservations cannot be canceled after confirmation. Please arrange your time properly and do not skip class, or your points will still be deducted as usual!
Got it!
This game really was harsh... Pu Yunchuan thought.
Ever since a group of training instructors had been added to the base, the Green Titans' endless brick-hauling careers had finally changed. They had become: training plus brick hauling!
Generally speaking, brick hauling was still their main line of work, but the points they earned from it now had a tangible purpose.
Work was usually calculated by the hour. On average, twelve hours of brick hauling could be exchanged for six points, and six points could be used to apply for one hour of professional instruction!
The Green Titans had sixteen vocational instructors in total. Five specialized in berserk transformation training, ten provided Weapon Specialization training, and there was also one Chief Instructor.
The Chief Instructor was currently in charge of basic training, mainly helping Green Titan players train their bodies and improve their basic attributes.
It had to be said that the Chief Instructor was damn impressive. His domineering muscles were simply too convincing. As a result, even though his classes were expensive, huge numbers of players still lined up every day to wait for them.
Of course, besides basic training, skill training results were also part of the evaluation criteria for participants in this large-scale mission. That was why so many players had recently been desperately earning points.
For his Skill Class, Pu Yunchuan had chosen the Weapon Specialization path, focusing on the Spear Department.
Unlike traditional games, where a single ding meant you had mastered a skill, this place offered genuine, practical training!
The instructors taught them hand over hand how to hold a spear and how to exert force. It was just like something out of a martial arts novel, and the instruction was incredibly professional!
They really could gradually train you from knowing nothing into someone who seemed capable of wielding a weapon properly.
It was damn interesting. He had already witnessed how realistic the game was, but he hadn't expected it to take its details this far. This was absolutely a masterpiece. Yet those haters on Tieba kept bashing it every day, calling it an unfinished product. Those losers were probably only fit to earn fifty cents per post for the rest of their lives.
Come to think of it, this martial arts knowledge felt incredibly authentic. Where had the game planners collected their information? Could it be used in real life?
Pu Yunchuan had often thought about this question over the past few days. Sometimes, whenever he saw the drying rack on the balcony, he felt an irresistible urge to pick it up and swing it around. But he was afraid his roommates would see him and call him an idiot, so he refrained from doing anything so embarrassing.
Seeing that he still had to wait four hours, Pu Yunchuan sighed softly. Spear specialization was more or less the most popular course among the Weapon Specialization series.
After all, most of the players were currently from the Central China Region. When it came to cold weapons, long spears held an especially high status among heavy weapons for people from Central China. After all, in the ancient history of Central China, all the famous generals had used spears. Those who wielded curved blades or axes were either bandits or nameless extras.
Four more hours... If he needed to conserve his energy for two hours, then why not haul bricks for two hours first?
That was what Pu Yunchuan thought. He had been spending his points too quickly lately. He couldn't keep having them flow out without bringing any in...
At this thought, Pu Yunchuan decided not to delay any longer. He skillfully selected the nearest mining site, reserved a work station, and sprinted over. So, he had to haul bricks to earn points and train to improve his ranking. Where would he find the time to worry about some D-cup?
