Chapter 121 - Catch Those Sheep! (2/2)
The product display platform that Wei Huo bought had 99 slots, and each slot could only contain 99 similar items. Wei Huo threw in the bronze items and weird creatures that he could not use.
After he did all this, Wei Huo’s camp option emitted a white light and transformed into a traveling caravan that contained some settings for traveling merchants. If there were NPCs in the caravan, they would have to issue orders through this setting. They could also set up automatic advances, trades, and counterattacks. The characters would regain their freedom after players went offline, but they would still follow the orders set by players.
At the same time, the Tech Tree’s option was turned on. Wei Huo looked at it. It was a Tech Tree related to the traveling merchants. It was a very healthy, huge Tech Tree that had been carrying animals right from the beginning.
At that moment, a notification popped up. “Please name your Traveling Merchant Band.”
Wei Huo was stunned. He looked at the night sky, saw the two moons falling, then looked at the camp, and finally named the Traveling Merchant Caravan ‘Double-Moon Night’.
This was the first double-moon night since the time halt, the first double-moon night since the game’s launch, and the first double-moon night since mankind’s rise.
After he named it, Wei Huo’s Double-Moon Night appeared on the fifth spot of the Traveling Merchant Roll. The Traveling Merchant Band, which had appeared out of nowhere, must have attracted a lot of attention. However, a few seconds after Wei Huo’s Double-Moon Night group appeared, other Traveling Merchant Caravans appeared like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Other than the Chinese Traveling Merchant Caravan, there was an English one, a Korean one, and a Latin one. A series of Traveling Merchant Caravans appeared and occupied the top 100 spots.
Apart from this roll, the top 100 of the Bandit Roll was also immediately occupied.
After the Traveling Merchant Caravan was built, Wei Huo received another system notification. “Please have your Traveling Merchant Caravan move forward by at least 30 kilometers in 24 hours. If it does not, the Traveling Merchant Caravan will be forcibly dissolved. Level -1.”
At that moment, the moons fell completely. The players’ timers displayed the first day of the First Epoch: 47 hours, 50 minutes, First Day of Spring.
Soon, 10 minutes passed. A new day began, and the sky lit up.
The date had also changed from the First Epoch to the Second Day of Spring.
It turned out that there were 48 hours in a day!
Spring was a good season for planting. Wei Huo had brought back a lot of rare plants from the Magical Beast Space in the Divine Realm. He wanted to plant them, but he did not know the rules of each season. It would be better to observe everything during the first year.
Besides, Wei Huo had another quest. He had to walk 30 kilometers within 24 hours.
Although this quest was not difficult for Wei Huo, time was of the essence for players. At that moment, a Traveling Merchant Caravan was slowly leaving the safe zone. Many players saw this scene. The observers of the Bandit Team immediately sent a message to their captain, as there was no Friend System in the game. One could only purchase a communicator to communicate with others.
The merchant players were very confident. Their captain was a skinny man wearing glasses who chuckled and made the team speed up.
There were no animals in his caravan. He could not buy any creatures from the mall, so he had some players transport the goods.
In order to build a merchant caravan, one needed creatures that could transport goods. Players were also biological creatures. Besides, this was only an early-stage merchant caravan. If one had the money, one could buy a mechanical horse or a hover car. Of course, an airplane could do the same job. One could just rely on technology.
However, if technology could not be accessed, one could not use it even if one had the money to buy it. What was the use of buying a black-hole-manufacturing device?
The leader made a hand gesture and the players in that team immediately understood that they would not be carrying any goods. They were the guards of the team who would be in charge of protecting the caravan.
“How naïve. Anyone who dares steal the stuff of mine, Ma Tianling, will have to pay the price!”
As soon as Ma Tianling finished his sentence, three ordinary-looking sheep appeared in the jungle in front of the group.
Ma Tianling was stunned for a moment before shouting, “Catch those sheep!”
