Chapter 6: Is this a Survival Game?!
"Huh?"
Fly was confused when he heard this, "Does this have to do with whether I can fight or not?"
Fang Ze glanced at the two bodies below and said, "To put it bluntly, we might have... overestimated ourselves."
"Or rather, we have underestimated the true extent of this game."
"You saw how those two died just now, so you should also understand that the combat system here is not just about numerical collisions."
"Attack power, defense power, HP are all invisible and intangible concepts. How will you fight?"
Fly widened his eyes when he heard this, "So, you mean I have to be good at fighting in real life to level up by fighting monsters in the game?"
Fang Ze shook his head, "Not necessarily, but for now, if you don't have some skills, rushing in will just waste Resurrection Coins."
Fly heard this and felt a little confused, "So... are we just going to leave without doing anything?"
Fang Ze glanced at him, "If you think you're stronger than those two just now, then why not give it a try."
Fly looked bitter for a moment, "Brother Light, we just said we were going to rush T1 a moment ago. Are we giving up even before starting?"
Fang Ze said, "Don't worry, if we can't do it, then nobody else can either."
"But if we use our brains, there must be a way. After all, as long as we keep our minds sharp, there are always more solutions than difficulties."
"But I want to check out the other game mechanics first before making a plan."
。。。
Night fell.
Nine closed beta players sat in front of the Tower of Seals, looking at each other.
"Are you hungry?"
"Not only hungry, but also thirsty."
One of them, named Daddy, held his stomach and collapsed on the ground, "I have eaten three meals outside, but I'm still starving to death..."
Fang Ze watched as the other eight slowly took out a piece of grass and put it in their mouths, "Do you think it's possible that the characters in the game also need to eat?"
The other eight people all sat up suddenly when they heard this.
"Huh?"
"So, this is a survival game?!"
"No, but if that's the case, won't we starve to death if we don't eat or drink?"
"There is a possibility."
"Oh no, everywhere around here is just grass and trees, do we have to eat tree bark?"
"Maybe... it's not impossible?"
"There isn't just one kind of weed on the ground, there are many wild vegetables I know that can be eaten directly."
"I can tolerate eating instant noodles every day in real life, but in the game, eating grass... isn't that too much?"
"I really want to eat meat..."
Seeing everyone hungry, Fang Ze unconsciously touched his nose, "Outside the Tower of Seals, there isn't even a living creature in sight. If you want to eat meat, there are only two ways."
"The first is to hunt in the tower, but you've all tried it, the monsters in this game are extremely difficult to defeat."
"Not to mention we don't have much energy now, even if all nine of us were full of energy, there's no guarantee of success."
Fly blinked, "Or should we just talk about the second way?"
Fang Ze suddenly smirked, "The second method is much simpler."
"According to Brother Watermelon, when a player dies, their body will not disappear immediately, but will remain in the same spot for an hour."
"In that case, all we have to do is divide the body..."
Before Fang Ze could finish speaking, another player interrupted him, saying, "Stop, that's too cruel, bro, just stop it."
"Bro, what kind of job do you have in real life to play such a twisted game?"
"Eating grass is one thing, but this, I just can't accept."
"Even in the game, I do not want to eat human flesh!"
"If you think about it that way, maybe nibbling on tree bark isn't that bad!"
Fang Ze shrugged, "I was just suggesting a possibility."
Fly sighed, "Just said had a brother who can recognize wild vegetables, but wild vegetables are fine too, at least let's have something to eat first."
"Then... shall I go look for them?"
"Please, brother, I am so hungry that I can't walk..."
"Counting on you, brother!"
"No problem, wait for me!"
Seeing that no one else wanted to move, the brother who could recognize wild vegetables had to set off alone to search for them.
The other eight people took this opportunity to chat about their day's experiences.
Besides Brother Watermelon, almost everyone else made some discoveries.
The older brother who had circled around the map mentioned that he had found a lake, and there were fish in the lake.
After discussing, they decided to go to the lake together tomorrow, hoping to catch some fish to solve their food problem.
But besides food, they soon encountered a new issue!
That was their shelter!
They could sleep directly on the grass, but what if someone froze to death when they logged out and logged back in?
Considering the game's realism, it was not entirely impossible!
Moreover, each player only had a soul lifespan of ten years.
That meant 10 Resurrection Coins, so it was best to avoid dying as much as possible.
"It's really cold, is there anyone who knows how to make fire with wood? Can we start a fire?"
"I would like to make a fire, but I'm not sure if this game allows creating fire."
"Try it and you'll see."
"What if?"
"Alright, you two come with me to the forest to find some sticks and dry leaves."
Soon, a few more people left the group, and Fly followed them to pick up sticks.
Fang Ze used a stone to uncover some curious players, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Fang Ze looked at them and said, "Have you noticed that the terrain in this game can be interactive and permanently damaged?"
Some players didn't understand what he meant.
Only a player named 'What can Grandfather do to me' got excited and said, "So, we can build in the game!"
All the players got excited at the mention of building.
After all, construction is something buried in the DNA of players!
"Building houses, cultivating farmland, raising animals, it turns out The Sealed Land is a farming game!"
"Oh no!"
"There are so many things to do in this game!"
"You can build your own house, need to eat and drink, and it's 100% realistic. Isn't this more fun than my world?!"
"Suddenly I don't feel hungry, I'm going to chop some trees!"
"To get rich, you must first chop trees!"
"Classic!"
"No more talking, I'm going to craft a stone axe!"
"Hey, want to join me? I work in the construction industry."
"Wow, working in the construction industry?"
"That's great!"
"Bro, what exactly do you do in the construction industry?"
"Um... I work in concrete leveling."
"Just moving bricks around?"
"Yeah."
"Oh no!"
"So, if that's the case, I'm also in construction."
"Brother, what do you do for a living?"
"My job requires high-level skills. I work on concrete climbing up attached walls."
"Plastering, right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, both of you are talented. We'll rely on you to build the house!"
Seeing everyone leave one by one, Fang Ze swayed a few times before standing up, "If this game really contains a complete set of physical laws..."
"So, does that mean players can climb the technology tree in the game?"
