Farming game: Survival for all [StarCraft]

050
Abbott's worries were obviously unnecessary. These people from the new world who called themselves the Huameng did not kill him. After interrogating him, they put him back in jail and brought him dinner.

Dinner was served on stainless steel plates and bowls. The plate contained a steamed bun, two sweet potatoes and boiled cabbage, and the bowl contained kelp and egg drop soup.

This is the standard diet for prisoners in prison. It looks very simple, but it is hearty for the Chinese Alliance. Providing such dietary conditions can be considered as preferential treatment for prisoners - of course, players who often commit crimes don't mind preparing some dark dishes.

Abbott's focus was on the stainless steel plate. Just looking at the color, it didn't look like ordinary metal. He couldn't recognize what metal it was made of. It looked like silver, but not as white as silver. Abbott picked up the bowl and secretly took a bite. There was no mark, but his teeth felt sour.

"Hee hee hee."

Abbott turned his head and saw that it was the green-skinned goblin next door who was laughing. He had obviously seen his actions and was laughing at him for not knowing how to eat. He was so sure because when Abbott turned his head to look over, the green-skinned goblin picked up the bowl and held the spoon in one hand, demonstrating how to drink. After drinking, he looked at Abbot with his big dark eyes and raised his chin to him, as if asking him to follow him.

Abbott: ...

Damn it, he was actually ridiculed by a green-skinned goblin who only paid 10 copper coins, and was even taught how to eat by him!

Abbott felt extremely humiliated. If he hadn't been concerned about the humans in the New World, he would have wanted to turn hostile and throw the bowl at the green-skinned goblin to death.

To be honest, Abbott didn't understand why the new humans locked up the green-skinned goblins in jail and fed them. In Abbott's impression, goblins were a group of dirty, ignorant and lowly species, not much different from rats in the sewers. They were purchased to do hard labor or risky jobs, and were treated as disposable consumables. They would be thrown away when they broke down and killed when they made mistakes. Why waste space to lock them up, let alone feed them?

What made Abbot even more upset was that his meals were exactly the same as that of the green-skinned goblin.

Abbott didn't know what the humans in the New World thought. Could it be that in their eyes, he had the same status as this green-skinned goblin?
Damn it! It's such a shame!
If it weren't for the dry mouth and hunger, when he took a bite of the bowl, the soup in the bowl touched his lips and tongue, and tasted the different thick soup he drank every day, but the taste was particularly salty and fragrant. Abbot would have wanted to just refuse to eat or drink to protest. How could he be insulted like this? You know, he is a nobleman personally appointed by the King of Gama - if this voyage to the new world is successful, he can officially become a nobleman when he returns!

Well, now he has found a new world, but he has also become a prisoner. Born into a businessman family, Abbott is not as stubborn as the old-school aristocrats. He was angry for a while but then suppressed his anger.

The situation is stronger than the person, and if he wants to survive, he won't cause trouble.

Seeing that the green-skinned goblin was eating comfortably without any psychological burden, Abbott thought that it was impossible for the other party to poison the food. After all, he was more valuable than a goblin. It didn't make sense to provide the goblin with good food and drink without giving him one, right?
Abbott quickly convinced himself. If he had not been shocked by what happened today and had not been attracted by the strange tableware, he would have pounced on the food long ago.

He picked up the bowl, not trying to be as polite as the green goblin (damn, a green goblin is more particular than a human like him!), and slurped the salty soup. After the warm liquid went down his throat, Abbott just felt comfortable in his stomach.

After finishing the soup, there were still some seaweed and egg flowers left in it. If Abbott hadn't been someone who could afford eggs, he wouldn't have realized that the egg flowers were eggs when he smelled the smell of eggs, because in his impression, eggs were always boiled in water, not put into soup like this, and even boiled together with cheap seaweed. But the taste was not strange, Abbott thought it was still delicious.

However, when Abbott habitually tried to scoop up the food with his hands and put it in his mouth, the green-skinned goblin over there made a strange sound similar to an exclamation. He turned his head and saw the green-skinned goblin staring at him with wide eyes, shaking his head and sighing, as if he was helpless about this "cellmate".

The green-skinned goblin pointed at himself, picked up the chopsticks from the plate, and skillfully picked up the chopped eggs in the bowl, just like the humans doing food broadcasts in the past. He even stopped to let Abbot see more clearly. Then he put the eggs into his mouth in slow motion, squinted his eyes and chewed them, looking very delicious. Finally, he looked at Abbot, his innocent big eyes seemed to be asking, did you learn it?
But Abbott clenched his fists and told himself to endure it!
He made up his mind to ignore the green-skinned goblin, turned his back and held the plate, still choosing to eat with his hands.

Except for the nobles' tables, everyone usually eats with their own hands and a knife. Abbott would never use the wood used by the lowly slaves of the green-skinned goblins. Why listen to him?

Unexpectedly, the green goblin called the prison guard and pointed at Abbot, "Eat it with your hands, you are not allowed to eat it!"

Perhaps the players' education was too successful, and the green-skinned goblins remembered deeply that food would be taken away if they used dirty hands. As a result, the green-skinned goblins, who were once the most unhygienic, actually started to teach others a lesson.

Players were also amazed when they saw this scene.

Sure enough, as long as you put in the effort to discipline it, even the most crooked saplings can be straightened.

However, the players did not expect that the new guy was so unceremonious. Taking his habits into consideration, they even provided him with a knife and fork. Whoever found him would start working right away.

Wouldn't such eating habits make him feel uncomfortable? Are all the races in the other world so physically fit? Should I let this guy do whatever he wants or should I correct him a little?
Thinking that this brother might be needed later, for the sake of his health, the player thought that he should at least wash his hands before eating.

The green-skinned goblin was very unhappy with the player's "double standard" and ignored the player angrily.

Player: ...

Abbott's day ended with this tortuous dinner. He lay on the bed, touching the cotton quilt, and he became more and more certain that he had come to the legendary new world. If it was not a new world, how could it be so luxurious and treat the prisoners so well?
It was so clean, not at all like any prison he had ever seen - don't get me wrong, Abbott had never been to prison, he had only visited prisoners.

After being taken to labor reform, Abbott looked at the tall buildings and strange big machines, and was shocked, which further strengthened his belief.

This is definitely the legendary new world!
Lord God, if I could go back, it would definitely be more shocking than when Charlotte discovered the New World!
The premise is - can he go back?

**
On this side, Xia Ji and his men were also thinking about how to deal with the captives including Abbott.

Labor reform, that goes without saying. There is no reason to let the players support you for free.

But what happens after the labor reform?
After many discussions, the Chinese Alliance finally made a decision that they would go to the New World and other continents!

In fact, after all the manors are unlocked, players can start exploring the surrounding area and surrounding waters.

Let’s first talk about the island where the manor is located. After the entire manor was unlocked, Xia Ji and his friends discovered that the Forest of Fugud occupied two-thirds of the entire island. After unlocking it, there was still one-third of land and forest. In these lands, there are also many tribes and even savages living!

They were real savages, a very backward tribe that wrapped themselves in animal skins and fought against wild beasts.

Xia Ji and the others were puzzled. Even many primitive tribes in the Forest of Fugud could weave linen and make iron tools, so why were these humans still at such a backward stage?
When this continent migrated and became an island, humans should have developed a certain level of civilization, or at least gotten out of the savage stage, right?
Could it be that the ancestors of the savages died too quickly and some of their technologies were not passed down, causing civilization to regress?

But no matter what, this is the first time that Xia Ji and his friends have seen human beings on this island, proving that there are still native humans on this island, and that not all of these savage tribes are barbaric and cannibalistic. Some of them are easier to talk to, and with a translation system, communication is not difficult.

In the waters surrounding the islands, Xia Ji and his companions only found three or five uninhabited islands. There were only some ferocious beasts on the islands, no intelligent races, and the resources were not very abundant. They had to think of some ways to farm. And relying on these small islands to farm to solve the famine problem in the main world was still a bit risky.

So after much thought, the Huameng decided to go out to sea to contact other continents.

From the confessions of Abbott and other captives, the current level of civilization development in the four continents is still at a relatively backward stage (of course, this backwardness is relative to the Huameng). Apart from some weird hearsay, there is no such mysterious thing as magic. In other words, what the Huameng produces in the manor now can enable players to go out with confidence and communicate with the rulers of other continents.

Of course, the purpose of players going out is not to fight, but to get food and communicate. As long as the other party is willing to do business and does not try to rob, the players are happy to coexist peacefully.

But think about it, there is still the task of liberating the colonies in the New World, which will definitely lead to conflicts with certain vested interests in the later stage, and those vested interests are basically the more powerful countries in the world.

After thinking about it, the player decided to split into two groups, one to go to other continents to communicate with people and buy food, and the other to explore the new continent to see how to liberate this colony.

Well, since we are going out, we naturally have to be fully prepared. Not to mention supplies, sea maps and guides are very necessary.

After Abbott and his captives have finished their labor reform, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for them to serve as guides?
Oh no, it should be that the players are kind-hearted and are willing to send them back after they have completed their labor reform. Presumably, they are also willing to go home and use the money to redeem themselves?

It can lead the way and get money at the same time, killing two birds with one stone, perfect!
