Chapter 38 Changes in Xijiang

Arriving at Xijiang Park, it seemed as if the sunshine here became brighter. The surroundings were filled with colorful clouds, white mist was steaming, and there was peace.

Seagulls were flying and fish were swimming.

At the entrance, the two heirs of the Sea King were still standing there, guarding the place like guards.

When Chen Ye came over, the golden vertical pupils suddenly scanned up and down like lasers.

After a moment, they confirmed Chen Ye's identity and opened the way.

"This copper coin is still worth it. At least there is no need to worry about water for a week."

Chen Ye said to himself, and returned the courtesy. Then he walked along the cobblestone path all the way to the river.

Compared with yesterday...

On the contrary, the flow in the park has increased significantly.

Several figures carried buckets, rolled up their trousers, ran to the river barefoot, and scooped up the river water and excitedly poured it into their mouths.

Among them, some people swam naked in the river, occasionally cheering happily.

Like a victim who survived a disaster on a deserted island, he finally got a safe place to get water, take a bath freely, wash off the mud on his body, wash away the physical and mental fatigue and the rough experience.

"It's obvious that he is a player!"

Chen Ye muttered in his heart, who would go to the river to take a bath?

Mostly, some players still retain the habit of taking a bath every day before the advent of "Weird Era". They can't stand the slightest smell of sweat and acid. If they don't take a bath for a day, they will feel uncomfortable all over.

At this moment, getting a safe water source is like coming to heaven.

There are dozens of figures on the riverside, some are fetching water by the river, and some are swimming in the river. There is also a large group of young people, both men and women, sitting by the river to soak their feet or playing in the water. At a glance, several young and beautiful girls with thin and sparse clothes sit side by side, laughing and talking, and their slender white thighs sway on the water.

Chen Ye remembered that before he came here, he seemed to have seen players organizing a party on the forum of Bloody Mobile Phone.

As for what kind of party it was...

That was unknown.

Scanning with the Eye of Luck, Chen Ye found that the luck halos on the heads of the group of players on the riverside were mostly white and gray, and some were black, or even red and black.

There were basically no purple or glass players.

Watching them playing recklessly on the riverside, as if they had forgotten themselves and enjoyed the short-lived pleasure...

Chen Ye shook his head and felt that there was a reason why they showed these luck halos.

Not only does character determine destiny, but the mind also determines destiny.

He didn't like to join in the fun. Seeing that the riverside was too noisy at the moment, he followed the path shrouded in a faint gray mist halo and headed downstream.

In the distance, several young men saw Chen Ye's extremely fast speed, taking four steps at a time, and immediately called out to several friends around them:

"Look, that person is so fast!"

"He is obviously on his way, why does he look as fast as running?"

"Look at his direction, he should be going downstream..."

"This is definitely not a player, but a native ghost in "Strange Era". We should stay away from him and don't provoke this evil star!"

"How do you know he is not a player? You can conclude that he is a native ghost?"

"If it is an ordinary player, he comes to Xijiang to fetch water, how can he go downstream?"

"I just went to take a look downstream, and the scene It's so scary, just like hell. I'd better stay in Xijiang Park as much as possible in the future!"

"Yes... There are water and beauties here. It feels like returning home. And according to the information from the forum boss, the heir of the sea king is an orderly and neutral existence. It will not encounter attacks from other ghosts here. It's very safe."

"It is said that the heir of the sea king is still recruiting new laborers recently, and the reward is five copper coins a week."

"Although the reward is not very high, it should be no problem to survive here."

"Yes, if you can get this job, you can finally settle down in the future."

Not long after, this group of people had already left Chen Ye behind and continued to sink into the joy of the river.

When they discussed the whereabouts of the work, they showed their expectant eyes at the same time, and imagined the beautiful and peaceful future.

Since the bloody countdown incident, two schools of thought have appeared in Linjiang City.

One is desperate pessimism. They live in the pain of the doomsday all day long, thinking that there is no hope for the future and that everything they do in life is in vain;

The other is optimism that lives in the present. They grasp every bit of happiness in the present and don't think about anything else. As long as they can make themselves happy, they will do it without hesitation.

After the bloody countdown appeared for a long time, living in the present became a new trend and slogan, which attracted the support of a large number of young people.

Negative emotions such as pessimism, thinking, and criticism were even resisted by the official for a time, so as to avoid intensifying group pessimism and bringing negative impact to society when the doomsday comes.

On the weird forum, even if a random stranger posts a message to hold a riverside party, it will get the support of many players.

The success rate of offline meetings is extremely high.

These groups all feel that the more difficult the environment is, the more they should keep themselves happy...

Even after the advent of "Weird Era", it is still the same.

…………

Walk along the gray foggy path all the way to the lower reaches of the West River.

In front of him, the majestic black fog gradually covered the entire sky, and the magnificent dam stood in front of his vision like a mountain.

The descendants of the Sea King who came and went, sweating, constantly carrying huge stones like busy worker bees, heading to the dam to build it.

However... Chen Ye found that there seemed to be more descendants of the Sea King involved in this project.

"I didn't see so many descendants of the Sea King last time I came here."

Chen Ye walked to the vicinity of the dam and found that in addition to the descendants of the Sea King, there were also several workers who looked like normal humans, also moving stones.

Of course, their physiques were far worse than those of the Sea King, but they were stronger than ordinary people.

From their expressions, it can be seen that these workers who looked like normal people should be players.

When Chen Ye was surfing on his phone, he also focused on the content of Xijiang and roughly understood the recent recruitment of employees by the descendants of the Sea King.

He tapped his eyebrows lightly, opened the pupil of luck to check, and his brows could not help but frowned deeply.

Compared to the young people partying in Xijiang Park, the black fog covering the heads of the descendants of the Sea King here is even thicker, as if the dark clouds that are about to collapse are pressing down from the sky!

Among them, nearly one-third of the descendants of the Sea King have a blood light in the center of the black fog!

Check carefully...

The blood light seems to form a strange eye, lurking in the center of the undercurrent, quietly watching everyone!
