Chapter 15 Purple Cloth
In the stilted building with some dust floating in the air, Li Muyang opened his eyes.
He looked around, and the two options popped up in his field of vision again.
[I...I'm not dead? Very good! I’m going to report to Manager Wu and continue working]
[I’m so tired...my body hurts so much. I don’t want to work anymore. Let’s continue sleeping]
Looking at these two options, Li Muyang should have chosen the first one, after all, he had already failed in choosing the second one.
But when things came to a close, Li Muyang became curious again.
Does the promised heroine have great potential? If she died just because she didn't go out, her potential would be too useless.
Thinking of this, Li Muyang chose the second option.
Leng Ah Qi muttered tiredly: "I'm so tired... It's already very late anyway. I won't go to work today. Let's sleep for a while."
After saying that, Leng Aqi lay back on the bamboo bed and fell asleep, and Li Muyang's vision fell into darkness.
After a while in this darkness, a system prompt popped up in Li Muyang's field of vision.
[You have missed the opportunity to irrigate the weeds yourself...]
【game over】
Li Muyang was once again ejected from the game copy and returned to the main interface.
This time the weeds did not die, but did Li Muyang lose the opportunity to irrigate the weeds himself?
Li Muyang re-entered the game and chose the second option without believing in evil.
Then, as expected, it was judged to have failed and the copy was forced to eject.
After failing eight times in a row, Li Muyang probably understood.
"It seems that if I don't get involved, this weed may not necessarily die."
Among the eight game failures, except for the first and fourth times when the weeds died, the remaining six times the weeds did not die.
Just because Li Muyang lost the opportunity to cultivate her personally, the system judged her cultivation as a failure and forced her to be ejected.
"Although the mortality rate does exist, it is not very high. It seems that this weed has real potential."
According to the background of the story, the village in this smoky place is full of dangers.
It is perfectly normal for a female protagonist who has not yet grown up to die inside.
But her mortality rate was lower than Li Muyang expected, and she did have potential.
When Li Muyang opened his eyes again and appeared in the Diaojiaolou, he finally chose the first option this time.
"I'm not dead?"
Leng Aqi murmured in surprise: "But it's so late, and I'm late to find Manager Wu now..."
Leng Ah Qi quickly put on her clothes, wrapped the black cotton strip around her waist, and hurried out.
The people in this village wear ethnic costumes from the southwest region. The gray navy blue fabric is printed with many plain white patterns, which looks fancy but inexplicably simple.
Many women in the village had balls of black cotton wrapped around their heads, making it look like they had black rings on their heads.
Men also have cloth wrapped around their heads, but the cloth on top of their heads is more like a hat.
Leng Ah Qi ran for a while in the village and soon came to a small, empty square.
"Wu... Manager Wu."
Leng Ah Qi came to Manager Wu panting.
Manager Wu has a thin figure, sunken cheeks, and looks slightly mean and gloomy.
He was wearing a long robe from the Central Plains, and his appearance was different from that of the people in the village.
Seeing Li Muyang coming over, Manager Wu, who was sitting at the door holding a huge hookah pipe and smoking, raised his head contemptuously, opened his mouth and spit out a thick cloud of smoke.
"It's Leng Ah Qi..."
Manager Wu looked Li Muyang up and down and said, "Are you not dead yet?"
After Manager Wu finished speaking, three dialog options popped up in front of Li Muyang.
[...Thanks to you, I am still alive. Is there any work for me to do today? 】
[Steward, I’m so tired. Can I have a rest today? 】
【…………】(Input content can be optional)
oh? This time, I can answer my own question instead of just following the system’s options?
This is interesting.
This kind of game where dialogue is entered in real time has never been experienced in my previous life. After all, how can ordinary games respond in real time based on player answers?
Li Muyang first called up the system interface and saved the file, and then entered the content himself.
At the edge of the square, the sickly Leng Ah Qi suddenly spoke up and cursed Manager Wu at the door.
"Old man named Wu, even if you die, my grandpa, I won't die either!"
…
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
Several villagers passing by turned their heads in surprise and looked at Leng Ah Qi in disbelief.
Manager Wu, who was sitting with a hookah in his arms, was also stunned for a moment, as if he was doubting his ears.
The strange silence lasted for several seconds.
Then the thin and mean Manager Wu suddenly got up and hit Li Muyang on the head with the hookah in his hand.
Blood exploded.
[You have died, the game has failed...]
"Damn it, did you die so casually?"
Li Muyang in the thatched house opened his eyes. His provocation this time was not just for bad taste, but to test and collect information.
Manager Wu was dressed differently from the people in the village. He seemed out of place, but also very arrogant.
Li Muyang wanted to see the other party's status in the village.
But he didn't expect that this seemingly thin old man could suddenly rise up and smash him to the ground in the blink of an eye.
This ruthless method of disregarding human life and killing people as soon as they are told is indeed very dangerous in this village, and Manager Wu's status in the village is extraordinary. He kills people whenever he wants without fear at all.
After briefly reviewing all the information collected so far, Li Muyang loaded the file again and entered the game.
This time, facing the sinister and thin Manager Wu, he chose the most reasonable answer.
Manager Wu, who was holding the hookah pipe, glanced at him sideways and said, "It's so late now. It's definitely too late for you to go up the mountain."
"Let's do this. You go and wait outside the village. A batch of lambs will arrive later. You are responsible for receiving them."
With that said, Manager Wu took off the money bag from his waist and threw it to Li Muyang.
"The old rule is, a lamb costs two taels of silver, and you just pay the driver per head."
"When you pay, remember to check and don't be sick."
Manager Wu handed over the work, and Li Muyang took the money bag and turned to leave.
Although this interactive game is from an immersive perspective, the body will often act according to the plot. Whenever this happens, Li Muyang will lose control of his body.
After the game character Leng Aqi took the money bag, he walked out of the village in a familiar manner, without Li Muyang's control at all.
Li Muyang observed the village around him and carefully looked at each villager.
It was found that most of the residents of these villages were mortals, and they even looked simple.
But some villagers are obviously different.
This group of people looked more ferocious and powerful. Their wrists were all wrapped in purple cloth strips, giving them a unified look.
These people are also residents of the village, but they are obviously one of the sources of danger in the village.
In addition, Li Muyang... or the game character Leng Aqi also has such a purple cloth wrapped around his wrist...
