Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

And they were also thinking about how to open the space bubble and take out the items inside.

After all, he needs materials to make weapons according to the design blueprints in the game.

To be honest, the game's crafting system is a bit haphazard; you can create blueprints directly, or more accurately, you can gamble on blueprints...

The quality of an item depends on the input of various materials, the level of skill required in forging, and a bit of luck.

As for the forging system, or rather, forging skills, he has already grasped them from the rules and can use them at any time. What he lacks is... materials.

While asking Kuina for some materials isn't a problem, it feels like I'm living off her, so...

Forget it! Let's try another method!

With that in mind, Fang Rui studied the weapon blueprints. At the beginning, following the blueprints would reduce the probability of getting low-quality weapons and allow him to quickly increase his proficiency.

As for what to do with the forged weapons, they can be sold to players, or to non-players...

High-quality weapons are always best-sellers.

After all, the world is currently fraught with dangers, such as monsters lurking outside towns, wicked thieves, and the occasional monster...

"Give me a sword, a spear, a bow, and some armor or other protective gear..."

Fang Rui sifted through the blueprints and searched for ways to obtain the materials. He remembered that the event was still available in the current world, so if he needed materials in the future, he could participate in the event and obtain them...

With these thoughts in mind, Fang Rui gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Fang Rui and Kui Na were awakened by the shouts outside. The two opened the window one after the other and looked at an open space in the village. With their "eagle eye" skills, they were able to see clearly what was happening.

"There are people injured……"

The two said the same thing, but in different tones.

After exchanging glances for a few seconds, the two changed their clothes and then headed to an open space.

Upon arrival, Kuina sought out the familiar innkeeper to ask what had happened.

"This group of merchants was planning to travel to the capital, but they heard they were attacked by trolls in the nearby forest..."

"Look at this..."

As she spoke, the proprietress shook her head slightly.

"Forest? Troll..." Fang Rui tilted his head. He and Kuina had been wandering in the forest for so long, and they had only encountered one monster.

"I feel like the forest is targeting me!" Fang Rui said.

"Hehe, perhaps it's another matter." Kuina chuckled awkwardly. She suddenly remembered something: high elves seemed to have the protection of the forest…

Beloved by the forest, she doesn't encounter magical beasts so easily.

"Forget about that, let's save them first..."

Chapter 609 Arrival at the Capital of Philkelon

Under Quina's treatment, the injured person recovered in no time. Because of the rescue, Quina established a relationship with the caravan members. As she was about to go to the capital, she talked with the caravan members.

In the hotel restaurant, Kuina was talking with the caravan members, while Fang Rui wasn't participating; instead, he was studying the breakfast...

Compared to yesterday's breakfast, today's breakfast is a different set meal, still consisting of thick soup and stir-fried vegetables.

Compared to yesterday's sweet and sour soup, today's soup is spicier and saltier, probably to cater to the mercenaries' tastes, since mercenaries do physical labor and prefer stronger flavors.

As for the stir-fried vegetables, Fang Rui scooped some up with a wooden spoon, put it in his mouth, chewed a few times, and his expression was somewhat strange.

"The texture of a cucumber is like that of a tomato..."

"This is so damn subtle!"

Every time I eat in another world, there's always a little surprise, sometimes a positive one, sometimes a negative one.

At the same time, screams of shock rang out in the restaurant, as people were shocked by what Quina had said.

'Hmm? You accepted it so quickly?'

Fang Rui looked puzzled as he watched Kuina state expressionlessly that she had three children.

You accepted the idea of ​​painless motherhood so easily!

A bit... thick-skinned!

Fang Rui mentally grumbled a bit, but said nothing. After all, it was the other person's business and had nothing to do with him, so there was no need to say anything.

After a series of shocks, Quina reached an agreement with the caravan and successfully hitched a ride to the capital.

While Fang Rui was studying the weapon blueprints, Kuina was comforting the innkeeper's second daughter, Lido. In just a few days, the two women, one big and one small, had become friends.

Fang Rui didn't really understand how they could become friends given such a large age gap...

All I can say is, friendship... is truly amazing!

After saying goodbye, Fang Rui and Kui Na followed the caravan and set off for the capital.

After leaving the village, there is a brief plain area, followed by a forest area.

In the lush forest, sunlight filters through the dense canopy and falls on the verdant grass. A gentle breeze blows, and the air in the forest is incredibly fresh.

"At the current speed, how long will it take... to reach the capital?"

Fang Rui stopped gazing at the azure sky to check game information and started talking to the caravan owner.

"The normal speed is 2-3 days, but it will take longer if there are unexpected situations along the way."

The caravan's owner, Aili, answered Fang Rui's question. He frequently traveled the trade route from the capital to the former border town, as some goods had a short shelf life and required frequent purchases.

"Pretty fast." Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly; it took a little less time than he had expected.

"Uh, hehe..." Ailine laughed awkwardly twice. Although the theoretical time was 2-3 days, there were many magical beasts living in the forest, and they would encounter magical beasts blocking their way every time, such as the trolls before.

If they encounter a weak monster, it won't delay their journey. But if they encounter a strong monster, the situation could be as serious as before, with some members getting injured.

Fang Rui could sense something was wrong from Elline's attitude, but he didn't say anything, though he had his own guesses.

The arrival time in the capital will be shorter than the time given by Aili, since with him and Quina there, no monsters or bandit groups will stop the caravan.

Thanks to a smooth journey without any incidents, the caravan arrived in the capital a day ahead of schedule.

"It's actually a city with an inland river..."

Fang Rui gazed at the distant river, slightly surprised. To be fair, a capital city with a port makes it easy to be attacked...

A fleet could sail directly to the gate and bombard the royal city.

Even before the fleet reaches the capital, it will be discovered by the cities along the way and the troops stationed at key points along the river.

"River? Where?!" Kuina asked curiously, looking around for a while, but she didn't see a river.

"Your Excellency Quina, this is the capital city of Philkelon, known as a scenic metropolis."

Eline explained in time, "The river runs through the middle of the city, and the academy, famous throughout the entire Kingdom of Philkelon, is located on an island in the middle of the river."

"But we are currently at the city gate, so we cannot see the river."

"Can't see?" Kuina looked at Fang Rui, who pointed to his eyes and then to one side of the city.

Kuina immediately understood, silently uttered "Eagle Eye," and looked towards one side of the city. She then saw a wide river and sailboats sailing on it.

Of course, she didn't overlook the island in the middle of the river...

To be fair, the academy is built on an island in the middle of a river, so getting to and from school must be quite inconvenient, which means...

Students enrolled in the college may live on campus.

As she speculated, Kuina didn't react in any particular way. Instead, she shifted her gaze elsewhere, surveying the royal city and noticing a faint magical barrier, but it was practically nonexistent...

There is no defense; it's merely a detection barrier, and the detection isn't paired with an alarm barrier...

Who designed this barrier?!

Kuina thought to herself, her gaze continuing to move, taking in the royal capital.

As a city that can be called a scenic city, Wangdu has something special. It is not only very clean, but also has a reasonable road layout, which is pleasing to the eye.

Fang Rui stopped looking around and instead looked away. When he had scanned the capital earlier, he saw several game rules embedded in the capital, as well as some space bubbles embedded in various parts of the capital.

You could try to crack the bubble sometime and retrieve the items inside.

only……

The game rules embedded in the capital city seem to be related to the game activities.

There are seven or eight events in one capital city? That seems a bit too many!

Fang Rui mentally grumbled a bit, then ignored it, since it wasn't activated and posed no threat.

As for starting up, it cannot start if the corresponding conditions are not met.

Normally, no one would be so bored as to keep throwing precious materials into one place, right?

It shouldn't be... right?

Fang Rui thought to himself, after all, there are plenty of bored people, what if someone throws something there?

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Rui ultimately decided not to get involved, since such a coincidence was not something that happened easily.

Later, Quina bid farewell to the caravan and went with Fang Rui to the inn recommended by Eline.

The innkeeper is a demi-human; to be precise, the inn is a gathering place for demi-humans.

According to the innkeeper, conflicts still exist between humans and demi-humans. Some humans still despise demi-humans, so demi-humans in the capital live together in groups.

After successfully checking in, Quina went to the church to find Skrugg. The church was located on an island in the middle of the river, adjacent to the academy. After all, the academy taught non-conventional knowledge, so it was reasonable to build it in a location far from the residential area.

Next to the church is a shipyard.

An island in the middle of a lake is divided into three parts: the college, the church, and the shipyard.

The people who manage the three areas are Kuina's eldest daughter, eldest son, and second son.

Fang Rui felt that the completely unrelated facilities were crammed together, but it was Kuina's children who felt that the family should live together...

These three individuals are people with power, money, and status, so buying an island would be no problem for them.

Fang Rui did not go to the church, but instead wandered around the shipyard next to it. To be fair, the shipyard was very large, but business was rather ordinary.

Of the several workshops, only one was occupied, with people busy building a ship.
