Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 60: Is It Really Just a Game?

Looking at the familiar scene, Jiang Yuan rembered when he couldn’t find the ga for the first ti, the joy he felt upon suddenly seeing such a hint was simply indescribable.

Just in a few short days, his life had undergone trendous changes because of the Wilderness ga.

Of course, he knew the big cherries were ripe; after all, they were harvestable after the 6 a.m. Wilderness Ascension, but the inventory was so overflowing that the storage box was almost full. He wanted to sell off so before going back to pick cherries.

However, less than five minutes later, another hint popped up.

[The Wilderness Big Strawberries planted at your hostead are ripe. You can pick and store them for consumption or use them as raw materials for cooking.]

Jiang Yuan: ???

He was dumbfounded for a few seconds, then his eyes suddenly lit up, he understood!

Damn, this ga is worried I’ll quit playing, so it’s trying every trick to entice into addiction.

It’s just like in other gas where if you don’t complete tasks, it keeps showing a red dot or exclamation mark that discomforts you, giving psychological hints to push you to complete the tasks.

He chose to ignore it; after all, however much is grown in the ga, it’s pointless if it can’t be exchanged for real-world money.

Right now, the hostead in the ga is in the early stages of construction, many structures haven’t been built, various crop seeds haven’t been unlocked, many lands yet to be cultivated, and all resources are quite tight. He’s currently not self-sufficient, and expenses are quite high, necessitating earning money by trading ga materials and then recharging the ga.

Anyway, the big cherries are enough to sell for a while. This ti exiting the ga, he has to get the registration of the company sorted out and ready to open as soon as possible!

A professional business service company is different; from the company registration process to account records, as long as the money is in place, there’s nothing to worry about.

After negotiating the trivia and signing the contract, Jiang Yuan ca out of the business service company with samples of big cherries, mulberries, big strawberries, and well water, heading straight to the testing center Chuci recomnded for self-funded testing, waiting for two days to get the test report.

After finishing these, his savings were pretty much depleted.

He ate a bowl of ran with extra beef downstairs, ready to go ho and wait for Yang Hongye to provide funds, and turned to see a thick stack of colorful children’s origami placed outside the stationery store.

"Hey? Using this paper to practice the Paperman and Paper Horse Skill should be possible, right?" Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up. He dashed into the stationery store to buy a variety of paper in different sizes and colors, glue, paste, scissors, and other materials, intending to practice familiarity when returned.

After obtaining new skills in the Wilderness ga, he found that good quality paper in the current context was quite expensive, especially the paper sold in the market specifically for crafting paperman and paper horses, which was exorbitantly priced. So he couldn’t bring himself to spend that much money.

Anyway, back in the modern city, paper wasn’t considered a valuable item. At the very least, he wanted to increase origami proficiency first, and then it wouldn’t be too late to buy high-priced paper for crafting paperman and horses upon entering the ga.

Upon returning to his room, Jiang Yuan locked the door and closed his eyes to find the feeling.

It’s hard to describe exactly what kind of experience it was. It felt like there was a compressed file in his mind, and after unzipping it, there were instructions for various paper crafts, which he just needed to follow step by step.

"Let’s start with the simplest origami gold ingot!" The last ti he did crafts was in junior high when a teacher fell seriously ill and was hospitalized. Sohow, the trend of folding paper cranes for blessings started, and the class leader rallied the female students to teach hand-in-hand, and the whole class folded for three days filling several sacks.

Since then, he hadn’t touched such things at all.

As expected, the first two sheets failed, the folded paper gold ingots were deed rough and unqualified.

Jiang Yuan drank so water, stretched his muscles, and cald down to study seriously. On the third attempt, he finally succeeded, with skills inching up indiscernibly.

Crafting paperman horses in the real world directly helped gain experience!

This was an unexpected delight; Jiang Yuan was motivated and began to get into the groove, his touch improving with each attempt.

Initially, origami didn’t have other added requirents, but subsequently, from holding paper gestures to silently chanting spells while folding to blowing a breath after folding certain steps, the complexity increased, and the crafted paperman horses beca more lifelike.

So imrsed, entering a flow state that he didn’t even notice, Jiang Yuan gave the freshly folded paperman a face with colored pens, at one point feeling like the eyes of the paperman shone and its mouth seed to smile!

"Holy crap!" He was so scared he threw the paperman on the table and glanced at the system skill book—Paperman and Paper Horse Skill had already risen to Level Three. This ant that paperman horses made with paper could have spells set, and after chanting, they could beco temporarily "alive" to serve a purpose.

Jiang Yuan dared not try, worried that if it really ca alive upon breathing, what if he couldn’t control it? What if soone discovered it?

He hadn’t yet prepared himself psychologically to accept that the skills gained in the Wilderness ga could actually be used in the real world.

Besides, having grown up so much, he’s never encountered any mystical events. Now the ti was nearing evening; what if sothing truly eerie, like the paperman horse with extrely yin attributes, attracted sothing unclean?

"It’s all paper anyway; it’s better to burn them." Jiang Yuan steadied himself, gathered all the paper crafts he spent half the day making, opened the window, and found a stainless steel basin from the kitchen for a fire pit.

He typically didn’t smoke, and after wandering around the room twice without finding a lighter, his right hand subconsciously rubbed, unexpectedly sparking a fla!

"Holy crap!"

With a burst of profane words, the fla ignited the paper gold ingot, rolling up a surge of orange flas, greedily licking the paper.

In a flustered state, he burned away all the folded and glued Underworld items, slumping to the floor leaning against the bed amidst the scent of ashes, dazed for a while before looking at the ga icon floating in his mind, feeling puzzled—Is it really just a ga?

First, he wasn’t dreaming; pinching his thigh hurt enough to draw a gasp;

Secondly, he confird that producing a fla from finger rubbing was just an unconscious action, as in the Wilderness ga, he’d practiced the Heaven-Burning Fla by rubbing fingers to ignite a fla whenever the cooldown allowed, even in unsuitable scenarios.

Thus, finding no lighter didn’t bother him much; he directly used the habit he’d ford in the ga, and who knew it would genuinely start a fire?

Finally, and most importantly, he must act low-key, discreet, and ensure no one notices any anomalies! It seems he’s obtained a remarkable cheat; perhaps the Wilderness ga... is the real world!

"Buzz!"

Finally recovering after cleaning up the burnt paper ashes, his phone suddenly vibrated, startling him.

The incoming call was from Chuci; Jiang Yuan steadied himself before pressing to answer.

"Have you eaten?" A slightly hoarse and tired voice flowed out from the receiver, causing him to ask reflexively, "Not yet, what’s happened to you?"

Jiang Yuan thought to himself that his mushrooms weren’t poisonous, and he and Yang Hongye were fine. Why did Chuci’s voice suddenly beco hoarse?

"Ah! Don’t ntion it, such bad luck!" Chuci didn’t elaborate further, directly getting to the point, "Do you still have cherries? If convenient, could you spare two crates?

Yesterday, when I got back, I left the cherries in the living room, damn, the two silly dogs destroyed a crate!

I’m planning to visit a relative tomorrow, intending to take a crate over. If you have so, I’ll send a driver to pick you up, have a al to know the place; if not, help get two crates by tomorrow morning, I want him to try sothing fresh."

Despite not knowing each other for long, Chuci trusted his judgnt of character. Since there’s a profit to be made, Jiang Yuan hadn’t seized the opportunity to boot Yang Hongye and run the business alone, indicating he’s not soone with short-sighted greed, worth attempting deeper friendship.

Hence, directly calling for needs, no longer passing ssages through Yang Hongye.

Jiang Yuan pondered, grateful to Chuci for guiding him. Not to ntion, just the business service company and testing inspection center alone—without Chuci directly providing the address—he’d have to fumble wasting quite so ti.

Moreover, since Chuci’s voice sounded like this, visiting would be appropriate.

"I’ll collect two crates and deliver them to you later, also I’ve got so fresh mushrooms here..."

"Great!" Hearing this, Chuci jumped up excitedly, slapping his thigh, his voice cracked, yelling, "Bro! You’re my kin! I’m just catching a break to eat well, bring them over for my family chef to prepare, let’s taste a new way to enjoy mushrooms! Oh, right, I also need to call Yang Hongye, lest she says we both enjoyed this alone!"
