Because he was too excited, Sui Xiong spent most of an hour talking, and then calmed down.

Acaine responded at the beginning. Later, he just listened earnestly, and could no longer interpose; because he couldn’t understand Chinese.

Yes, when it came to the end, Sui had already lost control of excitement in his heart and spoke Chinese.

This kind of excitement naturally had its reason – how many years had he been away from his home, alone in this foreign place, making a living? He ate raw fish and drank cold water. He only saw strange men, and could not see the traces of his hometown. He could not find the slightest hope to return home, or even have a little thing that could carry his emotion!

But today, he finally found something that could carry his emotions and comfort his homesickness! And it was something he liked very much.

Games!

For him, a former game enthusiast, what could be better than the game that could comfort his homesickness?

Food? Don’t tease.Take a look at his current shape; what could he eat to get full? Not to mention that he was only a jellyfish now. He was thankful that he wouldn’t be used as a food for others.

Languages? Creating and promoting a language would cause much trouble for others! Let’s be honest! When he was a student, the most hated subject was mathematics, the second was physics, and the third was a foreign language!

He hated most subjects, including Chinese, chemistry, biology, geography, history, politics, sports, etc…. Besides music and fine art, he hated everything else!

He couldn’t bear to recall his past, and was separated from that period.

Sui Xiong once thought carefully; what methods should be used to place his own homesickness? Now he had finally found it!

So he was excited. He was so excited he was dancing, he was incoherent.

When he gradually calmed down, he began to seriously discuss the feasibility of this plan.

After some discussion, they finally determined that this plan was completely feasible!

“A playground with the theme of adventure and hunting? This is a very appropriate statement!” Acaine praised, admiringly, “Your adjectives have been used very well; and the name is too relevant! The place where people play is a ‘playground!'”

It was only then he realized that in this world, there seemed to be no such thing as a playground.

The civilians in this world lived hard lives. They worked all day and they couldn’t save much money. A family farmer worked hard for a year, and after paying taxes, and the necessary daily expenses were deducted, perhaps only one gold coin would be left. This also required him to encounter a relatively generous lord; otherwise, the rest could only be calculated by using silver coins.

Why were the pioneers still coming to the turbulent forest? It was because there was no lord here, and no tax was required.

It was the church that controlled the development of the village, and most of the church’s priests had little interest in worldly wealth. Good priests were keen to help others. Evil priests were keen to demonstrate majesty. All in all, it was to let the world understand that they believed in the greatness of the Gods. Then as long as they all came to believe, it was good.

As for money? What purpose did it serve? Even if you could eat it, it was not worth paying attention to for these devotees, who voluntarily came to the outbacks of the poor areas to publicize the glory of Gods.

Like the White-leaf Village that Sui had seen before, it seemed to him a terrible place. However, virtually every family could get one or two, or even three gold coins each year. This income level was similar to a middle-class family, compared with the average farmer household on the continent. Sui Xiong only saw the general landscape when playing games.

It was no wonder that even after the war with the Shadow Devil, when Rhode was recruiting pioneers, many people still signed up.

The civilians of this world were really suffering too much!

The civilians had a hard lives and the nobles weren’t much better off. They were rich, but their lives were still quite boring. Listening to the poets who occasionally passed by sing songs, holding parties at home, or hunting with servants were all the enjoyment of most nobles.

Under such circumstances, there was an endless stream of desolation in the aristocratic circles.

Sui Xiong had asked Steele, “You are beautiful and talented, and you are the inheritor of a lord. Why are you putting all your energy into having sex? Why don’t you use the energy you put into seducing men on learning governmental affairs?”

“Why?” asked Steele.

“This way, you can smoothly inherit the title!”
