Chapter 411: 395: Liquor Gourd to Recover Health?

In the evening, when Lincoln got home, he comfortably lay down in the bathtub.

Then he put on the headband and was once again pulled by Mavis into the Huayin Bubble Bath pool.

However, this time, Mavis didn’t immediately come over to greet Lincoln as usual, but was fully focused on watching the live stream.

Lincoln looked up at the screen and saw that it was the female anchor [Nandong] from Izumo.

The girl was live streaming in Night City, just getting out of the car in front of her killer friend Marcus’ house, holding a gun in one hand and carefully knocking on Marcus’ door with the other.

As soon as she gently knocked on the door, she found that it was unlocked and saw the light inside through the crack in the door.

“Ah, this...” Lincoln instantly understood why Mavis was so concerned about the live stream.

From the girl’s performance, it was obvious that she had just received a phone call from the villain Vigo in an attempt to save her killer friend.

But she was too late.

As soon as she walked into the house, Nandong quickly saw the blood on the floor, followed the blood trail to the staircase, and then saw Marcus lying face-up on the stairs, lifeless.

The girl’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at her friend who had become a corpse, her expression completely unwilling to accept the reality.

Just like Little Milkshake, in the plot, the corpse will not disappear immediately when the plot requires it.

And here, it was obviously meant for the players to witness the tragic death of their friend...

Nandong was stunned for a moment before she couldn’t help but cry out loud.

And the more she cried, the more she couldn’t help it, her voice getting louder and louder until she covered her face with both hands, weeping and sobbing, constantly accusing:

“Uncle, how could you just die like that!”

“We were just chatting together!”

“You were my only friend!”

“You were a friend since the very beginning...”

It was clear that the mature and handsome Uncle Marcus made a deep impression on Nandong when he first appeared at Helen’s funeral at the beginning of the game.

Then he helped Nandong subdue the female killer Perkins and heroically saved her from Vigo’s henchmen.

After successfully counterattacking and defeating the enemy, they also celebrated together by the riverside, strong, handsome, and elegant.

But who would have thought that in an instant, Uncle Marcus would be killed so violently.

And his death was so horrible...

“That’s too much!”

“How could they?!”

“I can’t accept it!”

Of course, it needs to be more precise here.

He wouldn’t collect more data on modern wines.

In fact, just a few days ago, he had hired some experts to find people who could brew ancient wine, preferably with ready-made vintages.

The data for ancient wines needed a massive update.

However, Lincoln was unsure whether this data would be useful or not.

After all, even if a game has an ancient theme, it’s still a game, and the player’s experience is more important than the authenticity of the game.

Especially in the “Virtual Chang’an” project, which is based on the Tang Dynasty.

If you want to delve deeper, most wines during the Tang Dynasty were fermented with an alcohol content of 1 to 5 degrees.

Only after multiple filtrations, the alcohol content of refined wines or sake would reach around 5 degrees. If it’s unrefined wine, it would only be around 1 degree.

Li Taibai’s hundred “wine battle” poems sound fierce.

However, the alcohol content of a “wine battle” back then might only be equivalent to a few bottles of beer nowadays...

It’s not actually that impressive.

If such wine were offered to players in a game, the authenticity might be preserved, but the game experience could be compromised.

Since it’s hard to say how many people can reproduce the taste of that era, and whether it has any advantage compared to modern wines is also uncertain.

So Lincoln’s expectation is that if the ancient wines they find are all low-alcohol and taste ordinary, they would only be placed in ordinary taverns in the Chang’an City.

Renowned and fine wines such as “Pear Blossom Spring”, “Osmanthus Liqueur”, “Five Cloud Sauce”, “Stone Frozen Spring”, “Amber Spring”, “Heavy Green Wine”, “San Chen Wine”, “Green Tide Wine”, etc., should not be taken lightly.

After all, if these famous names are used, some high-quality items must be provided for the players. Can it be done without taking it seriously?

Lincoln didn’t think it could.

Especially in Lincoln’s heart, there must be wine in the stories of chivalrous heroes in the Jianghu world!

So in “Virtual Chang’an”, there should not only be famous swords but also famous wines.

Even the significance of famous wines should be emphasized.

He even considered adding an “enhanced power” effect to the wine element.

For example, “Drinking a sip of Taibai Brew, power greatly increases for sixty years”...

Or create an NPC “Wine Sword Immortal”?

Or add some fantastical elements, giving players a liquor gourd that can heal wounds when they drink from it?

The better the wine in the gourd, the more health is restored?

Or make the liquor gourd a multi-functional item: healing wounds, detoxifying, storing items, spewing fire, or enchanting swords...

Having a bath while drinking a glass of wine, Lincoln’s thoughts fluttered wildly.
