Chapter 208 - Collecting Junk
In the experience store, Su Jinyu excitedly watched Jia Peng launch Don’t Starve.
“Just try it! I’m not lying, it’s really fun!” said Su Jinyu.
Jia Peng wiped sweat off his forehead, “Ahem, calm down. This has to be your work since you’re promoting it so hard. Am I right?”
“Yeah, but the manager did provide some guidance,” answered Su Jinyu.
Jia Peng couldn’t believe it, “If I remember correctly, your last game was Lifeline? And the story was written by Zheng Hongxi too.”
“So? Does that mean you don’t believe me?”
“Ahem, it’s nothing. I’ll try it out.”
Filled with doubt, Jia Peng launched the game.
Wilson continued to waddle around the map as Jia Peng didn’t know where to go as he picked up anything he could on the way such as saplings, bushings, rocks, or nuts.
Jia Peng still had plenty of space in his inventory after all.
After running for quite some time, he decided to open up the map as he was lost. He realised that he had been walking in a straight line this whole time, and the map was way bigger than he thought.
“This map is huge!”
Jia Peng felt overwhelmed as it felt like there was so much to explore.
Harvesting grass tufts, picking up sticks, picking up rocks, picking up pine cones…
After gathering for a few minutes, Jia Peng could tell that he was doing something wrong, and decided to check the tab on the left.
There were only six different options so far, Tools, Light, Survival, Science, Fight, and Dress. There were probably more to come judging from the empty space.
There were many things to pick from. He decided to craft an axe as he had the resources for it.
After a few swings of the axe, a tree fell, dropping wood on the ground.
After picking up the logs, Jia Peng looked deeper into what other things he could craft.
It seemed like everything had their uses, but he didn’t know where to find those resources. He’d never seen the likes of spider silker, rope, or gold.
“Maybe I should make a pickaxe and start mining. Spider silk… maybe there are spider mobs somewhere?”
Jia Peng continued running around in search of the materials.
“Hmm? There’s a boulder!”
Jia Peng crafted a pickaxe and started hacking away at the boulder. Soon, rocks, flint, and gold dropped to the ground.
“Hmm? It even dropped gold!”
Jia Peng moved onto the next boulder and started hacking away.
Jia Peng was happily hacking away at the boulders, despite his initial impression.
The fact that he could collect rare resources for survival along with the satisfying, rhythmic clanking of the pickaxe against the bounders made the gameplay really satisfying.
Filled with glee, Jia Peng commanded Wilson to pick up everything that dropped onto the ground. At this moment, he noticed a pig house and a pig walking on its two hind legs.
