Bait from the Sky, Weird Natural Disasters!

But three years old is still too low a threshold.

However, this also explains why people in feudal dynasties were very fertile.

The more children you have, the more money you earn.

Raising a child from three to fifteen years old means they can work for the family for over a decade and earn money for over a decade, all they have to do is provide food and drink.

These villagers are really shrewd.

I don't know how much time passed, probably one day and one night, the typhoon finally stopped.

When the villagers came out of the ancestral hall, they all sighed, but they quickly rallied and began to pack their belongings.

The players, however, burst into tears.

"Holy crap, all that hard work I put into building this shed!"

"Damn it! I paid hundreds of silver coins a month for my stall, and now I've lost everything?!"

"Damn it, I just built this house!"

"How could this happen? I scrimped and saved to save up this shop, and now it's all gone!"

"Wangcai, where are you? Wangcai, my Wangcai!"

In short, apart from the ancestral hall, the entire East Wolf Village was reduced to ruins.

Many of the once-prosperous buildings have simply lost their roofs.

Those wooden and bamboo houses are completely gone.

The entire village was practically razed to the ground.

Gao Linzhi looked up and shook his head.

This is the power of the strange.

Under such forces, what productive forces can develop?

In comparison, it's truly remarkable that the villagers have managed to survive to this day.

Upgrading the ancestral hall to Safe Zone is definitely a necessary measure for the game.

Without this Safe Zone, players would have to start over every few months, which would drive any player crazy.

He then returned directly to the Council Hall.

In contrast, the Council Hall was very sturdy.

Because it is made entirely of stone, and has many runes engraved on it, it is protected from being blown over by strong winds.

The Council Hall buildings, however, were leaning precariously.

Many villagers' houses lost their roofs, their courtyard walls collapsed, and trees were uprooted. The beautiful little courtyards that they had painstakingly planted and renovated were completely turned into a mess.

The natural disasters caused by this strange occurrence are truly terrifying.

It can make many people's hard work vanish overnight.

At a glance, one could see many villagers returning to their doorsteps one after another, picking up bricks and stones one by one, and then piecing together some of the walls that had not been destroyed to build temporary shelters.

The ancestral hall is only for refuge, not for long-term residence—the front yard is where the ancestors live.

Backyards are too expensive.

The rent for one day is enough for them to save for a year.

It's not an exaggeration at all; it's that expensive.

This is the same as those offline suites.

A single night's earnings start at 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, which is enough for an average person to earn for a year, and might not even be enough.

Some even cost tens of thousands of yuan per night.

The rent for the backyard of this ancestral hall's Safe Zone is naturally very expensive, and it's all priced in gold.

Only high-level players from large corporations and companies are qualified to book a room there and stay there long-term.

Even though the backyard had a very tall building, space was still precious.

It's impossible to let people live there cheaply and long-term.

It's essentially a complete refuge. Short-term stays are fine, but if everyone could come and live there long-term, wouldn't the backyard be overflowing?

And at this time...

Gao Linzhi glanced at it and then walked into the Council Hall.

Then he frowned.

Inside the hall, there was a large hole.

A ray of Sunshine shone into the cave.

The Sunshine was shining directly on the face of a young girl.

Pure, white, lustrous—all things beautiful can be found in the other person.

This is simply the ideal woman in the eyes of ordinary people.

And so she landed in Gao Linzhi's Council Hall.

Gao Linzhi instinctively felt that this was a strange creature.

When he used his "Person Appraisal Technique" to take a look, he was somewhat puzzled.

This is a real person.

And at this time...

The girl also came to her senses.

"Where is this place?"

"Did I travel through time?"

The girl, clutching a book in her arms, opened her eyes and looked around, her gaze clear yet hazy, filled with surprise.

Upon hearing this, Gao Linzhi immediately understood.

This woman was tricked into coming here.

He simply clapped his hands, and soon a puppet walked over.

"Please follow me, this is not your original world."

"This is a game world."

The puppet spoke according to the template provided by the AI.

"The game world?" The girl was clearly confused. She struggled to her feet and said, "My Qin Qin. May I ask who you are?"

"This is our Great Elder. This is Wolf Snake Village, the starting village for new players."

Please follow me.

The puppet receptionist took Qin Qin away.

Gao Linzhi glanced at it, but remained unmoved.

Actually, it's because he's a Game Character.

If he were a real person here, he might also be ruled by hormones.

After all, that's the kind of creature men are; even knowing there's something wrong, even knowing it's bait, they still want to take it.

But they often can't resist the control of their emotions and hormones, and eventually succumb to it.

Fortunately, Gao Linzhi doesn't have this kind of trouble.

After all, he was essentially looking at a beautiful woman in a movie; he was attracted, but not to the point of losing his mind.

Even if they lose their minds, they will quickly return to a state of wisdom; those who know, know.

Qin Qin was placed in a shelter that was barely intact.

This place is terrible.

She also noticed that the area looked as if it had just been hit by a typhoon.

Everywhere there were broken walls and ruins, and everywhere there was sewage.

However, amidst this ruin, there is still a small area in the village that looks quite impressive, with tall, closely packed buildings, some over 20 stories high, seemingly unaffected.

Of course, she didn't have the luxury of letting the other party arrange for her to go there.

That kind of place is obviously a highly confidential and important location.

That's why they're not afraid of strong winds, right?

Although she had read many time-travel novels, she never read those about harem intrigue.

Because she felt it was too fake, too ugly, and too meaningless.

He's clearly a modern person, yet after going back, he finds himself arguing with a group of ancient women over the smallest of things?

This can be called a female lead role?

She believed in industry, rationality, and philosophy.

Reason brings industrialization, and philosophy brings reason.

A place where philosophy has not been born is bound to be backward.

The reason is often that it doesn't communicate with other places and is too closed off.

She believes that geography and climate determine human nature, culture, and philosophy.

This is how material conditions determine human nature.

Tropics are not conducive to the development of wisdom because it is too hot, people do not have the idea of thinking, and food is plentiful, so there is no need to worry about winter.

It's difficult to think long-term.

Qin Qin never imagined that she would time travel.

Moreover, it's a game world.

The Great Elder just now didn't say a word to her.

His gaze was also very indifferent.

She remained unfazed by it.

After all, some guys are like that—either they're insecure, they don't care, or they pretend not to care—they just won't be like other guys who fawn over someone.

She also liked this atmosphere; after all, dealing with those sycophants was exhausting and dangerous.

She's not one of those girls who only think about taking advantage of others.

Because she knew all too well that it would put her own life in danger.

Many people are irrational; you may gain an advantage in the short term, but in the long run, you will encounter great danger.

In contrast, she is both intelligent and beautiful, and has no need to do anything risky.

She sat in that makeshift room, which was actually just a corner of the wall with a bamboo mat on top to keep out the wind and rain.

Someone brought her hot water; it was the same puppet.

She was also a little curious; she noticed something was off about the other person.

"Hello, are you a receptionist here?"

"No, I'm a patrol and security officer, I'm Puppet No. 888," Puppet 888 said to Qin Qin.

"Puppet?"

Just as I expected.

This game world seems very advanced.

Robots are now used for reception.

The efficiency will definitely be very high.

Although it looks somewhat ancient.

Qin Qin pondered in her heart how she should survive, how she should develop, and how she should go home.

I still have to go back.

After all, this isn't a place I'm familiar with.

Her knowledge might not be of any use here.

Before long, players noticed her.

Hey, there's a beautiful girl here!

Where can I find it?

"Look, there it is! One holding a book."

"Wow, she really is a beauty! That's so refreshing. We rarely see beautiful women around here, but we have plenty of village girls."

"Yeah, and she's the elegant, academically gifted type, just my type. I'm going to pursue her, don't stop me."

"Damn it, why should I? I'm going to chase after them too!"

Believe it or not, beautiful women are indeed pursued by many seemingly ordinary men.

It's because these people are shameless and dare to say and pursue.

Those honest, seemingly proper men don't attract beautiful women because they don't want to pursue them or appear too low-class.

It's impossible for a beautiful woman to turn around and pursue him.

Unless he has a very high status and wealth.

And such men are never short of beautiful women.

Qin Qin felt very bored.

Not wanting to waste time on this, she continued reading her book while trying to interact with the reception puppet.

Before long, she found out that those people were all players.

Several of them were particularly enthusiastic and even tried to recruit her into the union.

However, these people had no idea that she was someone who had traveled from the offline world and had no player identity at all...

Actually, she does have it.

It was just a psychological suggestion; it wasn't an illusion, so Gao Linzhi's gaming skills couldn't tell the difference.

Therefore, she cannot see her own data panel.

Or rather, she herself didn't want to see it.

It's like your mind subconsciously chooses to hide the game data panel, so naturally it won't be opened.

Therefore, she believed that these people were just wasting their time.

She can't level up or become stronger.

However, she was actually a little envious of these players.

In her view, these players were actually time travelers who had arrived in a backward indigenous dynasty.

This is the perfect opportunity to make a big splash.

But she soon learned of the cruelty of this place.

"Corporate Players hunting Rogue Players?" Qin Qin asked several players.

"Yes, before the rise of Canxue players, ordinary players simply couldn't survive. They would be captured, used as cannon fodder if they obeyed, and killed if they disobeyed!"

"That's right, because there's no resurrection here."

"Dead means dead."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qin was speechless and sighed inexplicably.

"Alas, people are always like this; even in unfamiliar new places, they still turn their knives on their own kind instead of sincerely cooperating."

"That's right, it's common. This game world is a huge piece of meat, and everyone wants a piece. Naturally, those companies want to exclude others and monopolize the meat themselves."

Qin Qin nodded; she wasn't actually pretentious.

Because she knew that the struggle for interests was ruthless.

Especially in this game world, it's easy to find people with powerful talents and strong solo players.

From the perspective of Company Executive Players, independent players are uncontrollable and should be suppressed early on.

Qin Qin could easily deduce the mindset of a high-level player in the game.

But she couldn't accept that either.

After all, she will be killed too.

"However, when the powerful players with Canxue all came together, those Company Executive Players chickened out. They knew that it was impossible to completely suppress ordinary casual players by simply suppressing them."

"Therefore they became much more civilized; otherwise, if any independent fighters rose up again, they would be doomed, because the Canxue boss had already wiped out two companies that had suppressed him."

"Yeah, the Canxue boss is really powerful." Someone else was talking loudly, hoping to attract Qin Qin's attention.

However, Qin Qin noticed the character ID "Canxue" (Canxue), which was mentioned repeatedly.

She then asked, "Excuse me, where is the Canxue boss?"

"Ah, didn't you just see him? He's the Great Elder in the Elder Council Hall."

"It's him, I've seen him before." Qin Qin suddenly realized that the calm and composed person was the player's "Canxue".

Indeed, given the other party's aloof demeanor, it was almost inevitable that they would rise to prominence.

As long as you have decent talent.

The result was that the other side truly rose to prominence.

Furthermore, it terrified the high-level players, making them afraid to recklessly intercept and kill Rogue Players anymore, and instead switch to normal trading with a little bit of deception.

"Even if the Canxue big boss is powerful, he's still just one person. How could he possibly intimidate so many powerful families and clans?"

"Hehe, classmate, you have no idea how capable the other party is. They can break the deadlock and disrupt the balance."

"That's right, the 'Canxue Master' is a player character that surpasses the imagination of most factions. He is extremely strong and can easily defeat any player of his age."

At the same time.

Gao Linzhi said to Xu Gou, "Alright, go investigate that woman."

"Puppet No. 888, we just took her to a shed."

"Okay, boss." Xu Gou quickly went to investigate in the rain.

In truth, he understood perfectly well that this was a beautiful woman sent by the enemy.

But the question is, does the boss like it or not?

Many people are like this; they know perfectly well that the women sent to them are problematic, but they still get seduced.

Xu Gou soon arrived at Qin Qin's temporary residence.

He had to admit that the woman was indeed very beautiful, breathtakingly so, and captivating.

She perfectly embodies the psychology of many men.

After careful investigation, Xu Gou discovered that the woman had been brought into this world by a strange entity.

This anomaly has also drawn many people into the Skyfall World.
