Stone Gambler

On his first trip to the Boya Continent, Bai Zishi expressed great interest in the surrounding scenery. For him, those unimaginably tall trees and their strange appearance made Bai Zishi unable to turn his eyes away. Different from the feeling of watching a Hollywood fantasy blockbuster from a book or a developing device, they are real, and Bai Zishi even saw a green round tree ball passing by. Animals the size of a wolf were wrapped up at once, and then the ball tree slowly expanded and retracted, as if it was digesting food.

When Bai Zishi saw this kind of scene for the first time, he was stunned for a while, but after seeing this kind of scene a lot these days, he didn't feel as fussed as he was back then. This is the survival of Chiguoguo, the most primitive food chain. The RV was driving on a twisted road, and the bumps were a bit severe. When Bai Zishi was interested in the surrounding scenery, he didn't find it difficult, but when he got tired of seeing the green all the way, the bumps became quite difficult. He started spending a lot of time in bed, which made him feel better.

Vincent noticed the change in him. The orc man of Little Asia, which was very lively, has become silent these days. He doesn't like to get up from lying down, and he doesn't like to talk. Vincent didn't like such a sluggish white. Fortunately, he quickly understood Bai's situation. To him and Ellen, this kind of turbulence seemed to be non-existent, but it should be quite uncomfortable for Bai.

The sensitivity of the orcs of the Little Asia to the environment made Vincent very distressed. Recently, Bai even ate very little food. He ate very little in the first place! Soon, Vincent thought of a way. He took advantage of the time when the car stopped to rest, and entered the forest on both sides. When he came back, he held a large pile of thick soft grass in his hands. Grass is evenly spread on the white bed and seat, making the position softer and reducing the range of bumps. Then he changed his usual silence and started chatting with Bai. He spent a long time giving Bai some common sense of the Boya Continent to answer his doubts. Even Ellen became Bai's teacher.

He pointed to the trees on both sides of the road, and the beasts he saw by chance told Bai what they were, their habits and weaknesses, and told Bai Ya the distribution and specialness of the city. Yasha, the main city of the sub-city, is a place where only sub-orcs can live, and the sub-city is the place where sub-orcs and their partners live. Yacheng is located in the center of the emerald mine. The governors of Yacheng spent a lot of thought to build a defense device to isolate the tower, so that the residents of Yacheng do not need to leave home to find a partner.

Bai listened with gusto, and the sadness caused by the bumps eased a lot. He looked at the handsome orc driving in front of him, and felt warm in his heart. This man has fulfilled his oath, and he is taking care of himself very carefully. After a few more days, Bai gradually got used to the bumps. He no longer stayed in bed all day, preferring to sit behind the driver's seat.

Vincent and Ellen took turns driving. When Vincent was driving, Bai would lean forward. When Vincent was talking, their eyes would inadvertently meet in the rearview mirror. Although there is nothing to say, there is an indescribable tacit understanding in it. Bai Zishi enjoys this feeling very much. He feels that Vincent is like a quiet but reliable friend or even a brother, let him relax and tolerate him ignorance and weakness. When Ellen was driving, Vincent would sit next to Bai. They faced each other, and Vincent explained to Bai the distribution of tribes in this world.

The size of the Boya Continent is always equivalent to two-thirds of the earth. There is no ocean, and rivers, lakes, groundwater, and rainwater form a complete water cycle system. There are a total of ten tribes on such a large piece of land, which is equivalent to ten countries on the earth. They radiate around with Yacheng as the center. The ten tribes occupy about half of Boya Continent, with a total population of about 2.1 billion. The ratio of sub-orcs to orcs is about one to four. Weapons are mainly cold weapons. It is not that hot weapons have not appeared, but their power is not strong. Of course, this refers to relative. The status is very embarrassing, only some sub-orcs use thermal weapons as a tool to prevent wolves. The service industry is very backward, which has a lot to do with the mainland's social environment dominated by small families and the living conditions they face. Orcs are aggressive by nature. What they prefer to do is go hunting in the forest and sell them to the tribe to earn points. Of course, what you can get in the forest is not just food, raw materials for medicine, and beautiful luxury goods that sub-orcs like. Building materials and so on, it can be said that the life of the entire orc society depends on the forest. Some of the sub-orcs work in tribal institutions to provide services for social operations, such as hospitals, schools, and government agencies. Some open shops and buy and sell all kinds of necessities. The catering industry in this world is not well developed. The situation of small families is that they prefer to cook at home or eat from their partners. Most of them are because the ingredients are self-sufficient and there is no need to spend points. There are also some who are engaged in stone gambling for a long time, and there are not many suborcs who can be engaged in the stone gambling industry for a long time. This is an industry that requires a lot of money and precise vision. sufficient funds.

The ten tribes have established their own management systems, and the most effective is something similar to the Internet established two hundred years ago. Everyone has their own magnetic card, which contains all your records from birth to death. Going to school, seeing a doctor, every consumption, your occupation, your partner... In a word: with a magnetic card in hand, you are not afraid of wherever you go. This kind of system made Bai Zishi very surprised and lamented. If it were placed on the earth, it would be impossible. Who wouldn't want some privacy, and those gray incomes...

Bai Zishi was fascinated by the unique social atmosphere of this continent, and he listened to Vincent's talk for a long time. Of course, there is one thing that makes Bai Zishi very uncomfortable-although the sub-orcs on this continent are not as aggressive as the orcs, they are very interested in things like fighting. The arena is their most frequent entertainment venue. Even the gambling industry is very developed. The most popular on the developing device are all kinds of orc hunting documentaries and fighting shows, and Yacheng also holds a fighting conference every five years. The Boya Continent also has programs like movies, but they are not as developed as on Earth.

These things broadened Bai Zishi's vision. He began to explore this world consciously, eager to gain more knowledge about this continent. This kind of knowledge came from his fear of strangeness. Vincent seemed to be aware of Bai Zishi's inexplicable He even bought a lot of books similar to Earth's "One Hundred Thousand Whys" and "Geographic Atlas" from a couple who were on the same journey as them.

Then Bai Zishi discovered a tragic thing-he has already spoken the common language of the mainland very fluently, and he can understand all the commonly used words, but there are still many words he does not know, and what is even worse is that, He can't write most of the words!

illiteracy! The two big characters pressed mercilessly on the Baizi stone, making the Little orc man unable to lift his head. So Vincent and Ellen have one more duty on the road. Bai Zishi was very guilty of putting such a burden on the two of them. Finally, on the eleventh day after they came out, Bai Zishi, against Vincent's objection, insisted that he was healthy and cooked a meal for them. The "toy small pot and small shovel" (in Ellen's language) that I bought specially.

Although the ingredients and seasonings were a bit strange from the ones on Earth, Bai Zishi still groped to make a Chinese dish from another world. Knowing that orcs don't like vegetables very much, Bai Zishi tried his best to make vegetables taste like meat, which surprised and loved Vincent and Ellen who had no hope for his cooking skills.

Vincent looked at the Little Asian orcs who were cooking hard because of their appetite, eating the novel food made by them, the soft light in his eyes almost blinded Ellen's titanium beast eyes. When Shi was preparing other meals, Ellen gritted his teeth and approached Vincent, very jealous: "I said, you guy, how come you have better luck than me since you were a child? This little thing is cute and beautiful. It will definitely fascinate a lot of people when it grows up. Aside from the sub-orc man, he can cook rice with a unique taste! It’s amazing that he can cook my most hated vegetable with the same taste as meat. Why didn’t such a cute and good-for-cook sub-orc man let me Meet first!"

Vincent gave him a faint glance: "Because he is destined to be mine."

The tone made Ellen almost bite out a mouthful of animal teeth, and that look was definitely proud! Absolutely! Although she was a little envious and jealous of Vincent, Ellen had to admit that Vincent treated Bai Zishi with tenderness and care that he couldn't do. If you are clearly a beast, you can fly there in a week. In order to take care of Bai Zishi, you have to walk for four and a half months. Most of the things in the car are prepared for Bai Zishi, even the beverages that the little orcs like to drink. a lot. Hit the water heater in the RV, in order for the little things to take a hot bath, look for water in the forest, the water in the water heater is full every day. When Bai Zishi was resting in the early morning, he would go to the sides early to drive away the ferocious beasts, and then come back, just because he was afraid of scaring the little things. Vincent, who basically never cooks for outsiders, cooks every day, and even asks for advice on how to cook vegetables. He will help Bai Zishi peel the fruits and cut them into small pieces...

This kind of Vincent's gentleness and meticulousness made Ellen feel terrified. He couldn't imagine how fierce the group of sub-orcs in Yacheng would show if they knew what Vincent had done for Bai Zishi. But he envied this kind of Vincent very much. Facing Bai Zishi, he seemed to suddenly become like an orc. The previous Vincent was too repulsive. He is indifferent and rarely speaks, and no one can guess what he is thinking. Even he has been stalked since he was a child, and he was regarded as a friend by him.

Do people become very different after having a partner? Ellen rubbed her chin, thinking about whether to find a sub-orc man who was more pleasing to the eye to associate with.

On the thirteenth day of their journey, they finally saw a building beside the spacious road. From a distance, Bai Zishi saw a pile of stones piled up beside the road. They were wool!
