Si Yue and KeKe were very close friends in the 81st Newbie Village. In last month’s Vegetable Grabbling Battle, they worked together very well, saved a lot of activity points and got their favorite items in exchange. In this event, the girls also planned to work together in the basic version of the duck catching game to get even more points. At the beginning of the game, the two of them grabbed a large number of ducks in their arms regardless of the number, and then ran to the older lady to take turns to submit the corresponding number of ducks.

Si Yue, “Want five ducks, I have a red one on my side, which equals three ducks, plus two ordinary ducks, the rest KeKe you hold for me first, when I am ready you go submit, then the next round you go first, I heard that each time the first to submit would get extra points and salted duck eggs reward!”

KeKe, “Ow! Okay, plus you’re holding seven of them on my side, so you can hold them for me later! Oh…No, the green color seems to be a negative point duck. This one you submit, we’ll take it first, I’m afraid I accidentally took the wrong one.”

Si Yue was carrying the green duck with one hand, but she thought it was a good-looking duck, and asked, “What should we do with this duck?”

The green duck was caught by KeKe, so she had to ask for KeKe’s consent. However, before KeKe could say whether she agreed or refused, a third person came running in the clash.

“That…Hello again, sisters!” Bai QingNing looked at the two people in front of him and said, “The three of us are really lucky.” They were matched together in the last event, and this time they still were.

Si Yue and KeKe also recognized the sudden appearance of this person, but disagreed with his word “sisters.” How could he not see they were not of the same gender? However time was short, they wouldn’t get caught up on the wrong word in the statement and argue with people, instead they directly asked Bai QingNing their question.

“Here’s the thing, your green duck, can you exchange it with me?” Bai QingNing stated his intention. “I think the green duck is useful, so if you agree, I can exchange this black one with you.”

The black one counted as two, and the green one was minus one. From the perspective of the competition requirements, the former was more economical. At the very least, the black could be submitted as a task item. The green was too much trouble to deal with, put it away and feel the waste of grasping force.

The girls didn’t hesitate for long and happily agreed.

“Deal!”

“Haha! Thank you so much, then I’ll take away the green duck first, ha, while you take the black.” Bai QingNing left with the green duck in his heart.

The two of them wanted to sneak over and take a look, but the first round of catching ducks was over and the number of requirements for the second round had already been announced, so the points were more important.

At the other end, Bai QingNing, who took the green duck away, didn’t stay idle either. He ran to an unnoticed corner, that is, near the ruins of the duck house that had been blown away by the wind, smiled grimly and pulled out a bottle of gold powder from his backpack. It was worth noting that there were several ducks which had been tied up with ropes over there, and they were all green.

The gold powder in Bai QingNing’s hand was the product of an accident. First of all, he ground the gold ore, and then added to sticky flower juice and a certain secretion of a sea fish. When the three fused together, the concoctions in that bottle had a strong adhesion ability, and it wasn’t as easy to fall off as powder. It was more like gold “paint.”

Bai QingNing couldn’t help but chuckle a few times when he thought about what this bottle could do.

Hey, in addition to KeKe, who was in the same group as him, he also found an old acquaintance in the crowd, one with whom he had a little grudge. His grudge with this old acquaintance was neither big nor small, and he had been a really unlucky man in the process. This old acquaintance’s game ID was “Petty Thief”, and he lived next door to Bai QingNing.

When they first entered the game, Bai QingNing and Petty Thief got along quite well. After all, everything in the newbie period was aligned towards character experience, and no one wanted to squeeze in time to deliberately mess with people’s minds. The real turn of events happened last month after the end of the Vegetable Grabbing Battle event.

At that time, there were two activities that had limited items, respectively “The Door To Your Home is Always Open” and “Close the Door and Let the Dog Loose.” The former could be used to steal vegetables from other people’s homes, and the latter could prevent others from stealing.

Originally, Bai QingNing wasn’t much related to all that. He just opened the gift packs to use those items to play casually then it would be over, but the tragedy was that Petty Thief was worthy of his name, actually accidentally found it fun to squat and steal vegetables, and also spent a lot of money to  buy a large number of unused “The Door was Always Open To Your Home was Always Open” from other players. After he received a large amount of that item, he went crazy with it.

Bai QingNing, as a neighbor of Petty Thief, was the first to suffer. At first it was fine, he had “Close the Door and Let the Dog Loose” in his hand. After all, this item was open 24 hours a day, and it could temporarily protect the safety of his family’s vegetables. However the number of those in his hand couldn’t compare with the hundreds of vegetable theft items of Petty Thief’s hand, so he soon lost out, and his vegetable patch had become his neighbor’s backyard, with him randomly coming and going.

Bai QingNing had to go to Petty Thief to negotiate, with the result that the other party arguing “I did leave you a lot of it” and disliking him back. That was called a gas! HIs face wasn’t as thick as others, but he also couldn’t make a fuss, finally, or Bai QingNing would have to admit his own bad luck and choose to plant only the cheapest wheat in the yard until Petty Thief had used up the item.

Bai QingNing almost cried every time he came online and looked at his pockmarked land.

Bai QingNing had a long-standing grievance against Petty Thief.

Now in this month’s event they had collided. Well even if he didn’t want the points this time, he had to do some damage to the other!

After he dyed all four green ducks gold, he swept through the crowd and soon found his target. After finding his target, he put a big black brimmed hat on his head, hunched over his body slightly, and used the cover of the crowd to approach the position of Petty Thief.

The number of ducks for the new round had just been reported not long ago, and six ducks were needed.

Seeing that Petty Thief had only caught one duck, Bai QingNing hooked his lips and smiled. He loosened the rope of one of the “golden ducks” and drove it to Petty Thief’s feet.

This process was quite difficult. He had to hide the other three ducks in his arms, but fortunately he’d worn a large cloak for clothing today, so they weren’t seen. He also had to pretend to be trying to catch the ducks while not noticing the “golden duck” that slipped to the feet of his mark, and when passing by Petty Thief he also couldn’t have a hint of pause, or he might be suspicious.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Not long after passing by Petty Thief, he heard the sound of someone’s surprised laughter from behind him.
