The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

The game time is shortly after nightfall.

In the past few days, Dog Brother and his old buddies have also returned to the tribe around this time, taking advantage of the mealtime to buy other players' spirit essence.

So when Dog Bro came out of the second-floor villa with a roll of animal hide, most of the players were still eating slug sauce.

Upon hearing Dog Brother's shouts, the players sitting on the ground near the open space all turned their attention to him.

Noticing the many inquisitive gazes, Dog Brother repeated what he had just said, adding, "You all heard me right, I don't charge you. Anyone who wants to learn can come and learn."

Over the course of three days, players naturally took the time to browse through all the items sold in the game store, some even more than once.

As all players know, the most expensive item currently available in the game store is the Blood Qi Pill Refining Method.

Although the players didn't understand why Dog Bro would share such a treasure, as the saying goes, "A fool wouldn't take advantage of a bargain."

Players around who heard Dog Brother's shouts all rushed over to join in the fun.

It should be noted that the animal hides that players possess, which contain military strategies or crafting methods, are actually just for show.

In reality, Jiang Chen had to read it first before he could translate it into language that the players could understand and then synchronize it to the players' personal interfaces.

It's like a lottery ticket; the actual winnings are all handled by staff in the background.

In other words, even if he just throws any random plank at the player, the effect will be the same.

Therefore, players can learn the Blood Qi Pill refining method without any difficulty or even spending time; they only need to confirm the learning in their personal interface.

As more and more players learned how to refine Blood Qi Pills, everyone obviously realized why Brother Dog would take the initiative to share it.

However, players who have learned the crafting method do not have any complaints about Dog Brother.

Ultimately, transactions depend on individual will.

Besides, if you manage to refine Blood Qi Pills, even if you don't use them to exchange for money, it's not bad to secretly hoard them.

After all, the death penalty in this game is too severe, and the existence of Blood Elixir will indeed make it easier for new accounts to quickly get through the newbie period.

But Dog Bro's intentions were completely written on his forehead. Treating other players as mere tools made it difficult for them to feel grateful to him.

Of all the players in front of him, the only ones who wanted to express their gratitude to Dog Brother were probably the young couple, Si Dongquan and Nian Dongjian.

They thought that polished rice was only good for filling their stomachs, but they never expected that the rice husks could also be used as containers, which was another source of income.

The young couple exchanged a glance, then stepped aside, secretly pleased.

"Don't worry, I told you, everyone can learn for free." Dog Brother's face was full of smiles.

He looked at the players who had learned to refine Blood Qi Pills with a kind gaze, as if he were looking at a group of little black slaves: "By the way, you can bring any extra Blood Qi Pills you refine here for recycling. The price is negotiable, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Campus Spring Scenery and Roupeng sat to one side, each with a wooden basin filled with slug porridge, occasionally tilting their heads back to take a sip.

Seeing this, Roupeng pinched his nose, swallowed the slug porridge he was already tired of eating, smacked his lips, and said, "There are still too few players. I wonder when the official open beta will start."

These old buddies all have an unspoken agreement not to step in and raise prices at a time like this, as that would harm everyone's interests.

The problem stems from the fact that there are too few players at the moment. If there were enough players, they wouldn't have to worry about the production of Blood Qi Pills at all.

Campus Spring Scenery nodded slightly: "I don't ask for anything else. The game can be tested slowly, don't rush, but you must ensure speed."

Meatball: "?"

……

The night grew deeper.

The players who had gathered at Dog Bro's place dispersed.

Even if some players want to start refining Blood Qi Pills now, they don't have any refined rice husks on hand, which is like a skilled cook trying to make a meal without rice.

"So, how about it? Want to refine Blood Qi Pills to sell to Brother Dog?"

Ke Yun shoveled the red leopard meat off the wooden skewer in one bite, her mouth smeared with oil.

He earned his living expenses for several months by selling Red Leopard barbecue, and now he wants to create some new sources of income.

"I'm fine with either."

Old Kuai shrugged indifferently, but the movement was too large, which aggravated his wound, causing him to gasp in pain.

Incidentally, he had only recently regained consciousness.

Thank God, he had been trying to log into the game ever since he fell into a coma, and when he finally found that the screen wasn't black, he almost burst into tears.

Ke Yun advised, "While building houses is quite interesting, refining Blood Qi Pills offers far greater possibilities."

Their organization is full of college students.

The standard for college students is that 500 yuan won't starve them, but 5,000 yuan won't be enough to live on.

Now that there's an opportunity to make money, many players in the organization are tempted.

Peng Zhi knew that morale was low and the team was difficult to lead.

After thinking for a moment, he objectively pointed out, "Refining Blood Qi Pills is something any player can do. As veteran players from the first batch of tests, isn't it a bit pathetic of us to give up other possibilities just to earn a little bit of profit?"

Old Kuai seemed to be persuaded, nodding vigorously and saying with high spirits, "That's right, as long as we become strong enough, we can easily make more money than selling Blood Qi Pills by discarding some unused equipment."

Upon hearing this, Keyun rolled her eyes.

He had been grinding slugs for days and was only level 9. He couldn't quite understand the thoughts of players above level 20. There was a sadly thick barrier between them.

What worries him even more is that the slugs in that slug nest seem to be almost wiped out by the players.

In the earliest days, if you guarded a cave entrance, you could wait for a slug to crawl out before long.

After so many days of frenzied slaughter, the players have reached the point where they might not be able to catch a single slug even if they continue to guard a cave for half a day.

Without this leveling paradise, I don't know when I'll be able to find another safe and efficient leveling spot. I can't even find a target to level up properly.

Just as Ke Yun was about to say something, she suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Old Kuai got up and looked around.

"Let's go take a look."

Peng Zhi led the curious college student players over.

Before they even got close, they heard murmurs from the crowd, which quickly pieced together a complete picture of what had happened.

Someone died?!

Old Kuai was somewhat bewildered for a moment.

Given the game's difficulty and randomness, player death is a common occurrence.

The problem is that returning to the tribe usually means safety.

To his recollection, no player had ever died in the starting village.

This awful game doesn't actually have a safe zone?
