On the way back to the camp, Zhang Hongbo's heart was heavy, but there was no smile on his face.
Very bad luck today.
First encountered a group of monsters, as many as seventeen or eight, and then bumped into the boss. A group of people ran away desperately, and finally escaped.
Later, a few lone mobs were hunted sporadically, the drop rate was extremely low, and the copper coins that burst out were pitiful.
Zhang Hongbo touched the pitiful 8 copper coins in his pocket with a sad face - there are two people in the family, and they need to pay an overnight fee of 10 copper coins every day. There are only 7 now, what to do at night
It must not be thrown out!
If you go out, you may not be able to come back!
After thinking about it, Zhang Hongbo clenched his teeth, and his heart sank. Isn't it just a lack of copper coins? The big deal is to go out hunting alone after returning to camp.
Although it is safe to form a team with others, the items that can be dropped are divided equally, and it is very difficult to save more copper coins.
Hunting alone is different. Although it's a risk, you can hunt one or two monsters casually, and the overnight fee is enough.
As soon as he made up his mind, the system suddenly sounded a prompt, "Welcome back to "Lingyun Village". 】
"Strange, it's not usually [Welcome back to 'Lingyun Camp']? Why has the name changed? By the way, is the territory a little bigger than before?"
Zhang Hongbo was so overwhelmed that he didn't have time to ponder the difference between Lingyun Camp and Lingyun Village.
The captain announced the "disbandment", and he walked back step by step with heavy steps.
"Hongbo, come and help me collect the money!!"
Across the distance, Zhang Hongbo heard his grandfather's angry roar.
collect money? What do you get paid for
Zhang Hongbo was puzzled. When I got closer, I saw several people I didn't know standing around. They either watched grandpa weave straw sandals with relish, or whispered and whispered.
What is this doing
Zhang Hongbo looked blank.
Old man Zhang shuttled his fingers back and forth, and in a short while he made a new pair of straw sandals.
Immediately someone took out 30 copper coins, then hugged the straw sandals and left happily.
Zhang Hongbo, "???"
Looking at the dozens of copper coins that were easily obtained in his hand, he was in a trance for a while, thinking that he was dreaming.
"They said that this is equipment, and wearing it can increase agility." The old man Zhang was delighted, "As long as I make straw sandals, they are willing to pay for them."
Deathly silence.
After a long time, Zhang Hongbo said slowly, "Grandpa, I won't go out hunting in the future, I'll just stay here and learn to weave straw sandals with you."
**
Twilight westward.
Yun Ling returned to camp with a backpack full of materials.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the territory, I heard someone selling, "cheap and easy-to-use straw sandals, only 30 copper coins for a pair!"
"Bamboo Shield, Bamboo Shield is on sale! It's cheap and high-quality, it can reduce damage by 3 points, and it only sells for 100 copper coins!"
"Wooden spear, a piece of 50 copper coins, the same price, come and buy it if you need it."
…
It seems that some players have unlocked life skills, and Yun Ling reacted.
Immediately afterwards, she thought of a question - if the sales of straw sandals, bamboo shields and wooden spears are good, will it affect the business of carpentry workshops and tailor shops
Don't worry at the beginning of the game. Because the number of living players is very small, the output is limited, the equipment is scarce, and the supply is in short supply.
After a period of time, the amount of equipment dropped by monsters will increase, and the number of living players will increase, and low-level equipment may not be so easy to sell.
But on second thought, she had probably hired intermediate wood crafting/sewing NPCs, advanced wood crafting/sewing NPCs, and started producing intermediate and high-end equipment.
There are many substitutes for low-level equipment, but not so simple for intermediate and high-level equipment.
Thinking of this, Yun Ling put aside his distracting thoughts and walked to the warehouse to unload the materials.
The linen backpack was emptied, she opened the panel, and started to deal with the territory.
[NPC "Lei" paid a visit, do you want to hire? 】
[NPC "Auston" paid a visit, do you want to hire? 】
Yunling click to view.
【Name: Lei】
Level: 2
Attributes: Strength 7, Agility 5, Stamina 10, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5.
Combat Skill: B-level damage reduction
Life Skills: Beginner Gathering
Hire Price: 650 Bronze.
【Name: Austin】
Level: 0
Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 5, Stamina 4, Intelligence 4, Spirit 4.
Combat Skill: C-Class Sap
Life Skills: None
Hire Price: 50 Bronze.
Ray is a fighter/tank positioning, level 2. Not only has B-level skills, but also collection.
Auston is positioned as an assassin, his attributes and combat skills are average, not outstanding.
Yun Ling decided to hire "Lei" and named him "Guard B". I plan to take him out tomorrow, and the two of them will collect materials together.
Open the territory properties panel and want to unlock new buildings. Browsing for a moment, suddenly a movement.
Barrier: Defensive building that can block incoming enemies. It costs 100 copper coins to build. (Note: The territory can only be unlocked when the territory is upgraded to "Village" and above.)
The 10-day novice protection period is over, and the territory may be attacked at any time. At this time, a protective cover is required to protect the territory.
If there is a sudden attack, the total HP of the shield drops by 25%, and the system will warn the residents of the territory for the first time.
A 50% drop, the second warning. A 75% drop, the third warning. When the blood volume returns to zero and the protective cover breaks, the system will remind the player to evacuate in time.
In other words, after 10 days, the shield is a must-have building for the territory.
"Oops!" Yun Ling woke up suddenly, "Just remember that functional buildings will occupy the building space, and forget that defensive buildings are also buildings."
The shield had to be unlocked and she had to click OK.
The next second, copper coins -100.
At the same time, there was an extra semi-circular transparent shield over the territory.
【Name: protective cover】
Health: 5000/5000
Use effect: Block incoming enemies.
Base Recovery Rate: 1 HP/min
Note: Spending copper coins can speed up the repair.
Territory property panel displays——
[Unlockable buildings: 7]
【Existing buildings: 6】
Yun Ling had a headache. Insufficient building space, the next step is to unlock the restaurant, or unlock the blacksmith shop

Every evening, the territory is always lively.
"Excellent rosewood furniture! Don't miss it when you pass by!" shouted a stall owner.
A player next to him wondered, "When is it going to sell red sandalwood? Isn't it bad to sell equipment and game materials?"
"What do you know." The stall owner snorted coldly, "Several high-level players bought a wooden house in the morning. The room is empty, can't I buy some furniture to fill it?"
"Red sandalwood is very high, and it is definitely their best choice."
The man next to him was speechless, apparently persuaded.
Really high fun. Lu Chuan walked past the stall owner without even looking at the red sandalwood. He stopped in front of another stall, "How do you sell storage boxes?"
Finally, a customer came. The stall owner was afraid that the price would be too high to scare people away. "One copper coin and one storage box."
Lu Chuan picked it up and took a closer look, "Where did the thing come from?"
The stall owner replied, "I found it in the store."
"How did you remember to bring these things back to the territory?" Lu Chuan asked.
The stall owner smiled bitterly, "The food and drink have been removed in advance, and only these useless things are left in the store. I think if I don't move them out, I won't be able to get these in the future."
Not all players can run around the world like Yun Ling and Lu Chuan.
A 20-minute walk from the territory is the limit of the average person's range of activities.
The surrounding shops were searched back and forth, but nothing was left
The stall owner dragged these things back to the territory, which meant that he didn't care. When he thought about it, as long as he could sell one or two things, it was better than nothing.
Lu Chuan put down the storage box, "I want ten."
Ten storage boxes are equal to 10 copper coins, which is a full two nights' overnight fee!
I never imagined that some people are willing to pay for this garbage.
The stall owner was overjoyed, and responded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll bring it to you."
The plastic storage boxes are stacked and placed, which is equivalent to a cabinet. It not only saves space, but also has a large capacity, which is suitable for carrying sundries.
Putting 10 storage boxes into the linen backpack, Lu Chuan continued to hang out.
Behind him, the stall owner was envious, "How willing to buy a storage box with copper coins... This person must be very rich."
**
At the same time, Yun Ling was also shopping, "The silk quilt is good, how about giving it to me?"
Opposite is a 16-year-old girl, her eyes are extraordinarily vigilant, "Tell me, what price are you bidding?"
"Five copper coins." Yun Ling said.
The girl was a little excited, a little hesitant.
Yun Ling glanced at the goods on the ground and said, "If you give me all the quilts, plus a thick coral fleece blanket, I will not only pay you 5 copper coins, but also give you tents and sleeping bags."
"Really?" The girl was surprised and happy.
For players who can't afford a log cabin, there's nothing like a backcountry tent and sleeping bag for the night.
"Really." Yun Ling said as he took out his things.
The tents and sleeping bags were all picked up. At first, I wanted to sell them for money, but then I forgot to take them out in the warehouse. Now they are just fine to exchange for silk quilts and coral fleece blankets.
"Deal!" The girl happily responded.
"I think it's quite new, so it shouldn't be used before?" Yun Ling asked.
"I haven't used it." The girl answered honestly, "The team found a home accessories store, and the goods are all brought from the store. If you are worried, you can wash it before using it."
"it is good."
After the goods were finished, Yun Ling got up and went back to the house.
In fact, what she wanted to buy the most were bamboo chairs and bamboo beds, but unfortunately she didn't see any for sale, so she simply stopped shopping.
Make a cotton backpack when you go back, make a few bandages, just before bedtime.
Walking to the wooden house, before entering the door, I accidentally met Lu Chuan.
"Why are you here?" Yun Ling asked first.
"The house I bought is here." Lu Chuan pointed to the wooden house, "How about you?"
"I live in this room." Yun Ling said.
The two found out that they were neighbors.
"It's a coincidence." Lu Chuan said.
Then the atmosphere became stagnant.
"Rest early, and get up early tomorrow." Lu Chuan said as he pushed open the door of his room.
"Wait!" Yun Ling stopped people.
Lu Chuan stopped and waited for her to speak.
Yun Ling: "As I said before, I plan to upgrade the village in two days, unlock the dwellings in three days, and unlock the restaurant in five days. Now something has happened, and the restaurant... may not be unlocked in the near future."
She needs to think about which building the only one of the remaining slots will be used to unlock.
"It doesn't matter." Lu Chuan didn't mind. "I don't want to interfere with the development of the territory. Asking about the next development plan, I just don't want to meet the devil's configuration of restaurants, barbecue shops, pastry shops, and bakeries."
Yun Ling, "…"
There are more than 50 buildings to be unlocked, some of which have similar functions, such as restaurants, barbecue shops, pastry shops, and bakeries.
Wasting an extremely rare number of unlockable building slots on buildings with similar functions is indeed called development imbalance and devil configuration.
"If there is nothing else," Lu Chuan said goodbye to Yunling as he stepped into the wooden house, "Good night."
