There were tears in the mother's eyes, "When the game started, we happened to have dinner together. Later, when I saw that there were many people and monsters in the city center, I went to the suburbs."
"I found five camps along the way, and finally found you!"
"By the way, why is it not called 'Lingyun Camp', but 'Lingyun Village'?"
For a time, Zong Yeming didn't know how to answer.
"It's getting dark, why don't we go shopping first?" Zongfu suggested.
Zongye clearly settled down and said, "Follow me."

Whether it's unlocking a restaurant or unlocking a blacksmith shop, life occupation NPCs are required. Yun Ling wanted to act by chance, but who knew——
【Name: Adam】
Level: 0
Attributes: Strength 5, Agility 5, Stamina 5, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5.
Combat skills: none
Life Skill: Beginner Blacksmithing
Craftable items: short daggers, short knives, long swords.
Hire Price: 50 Bronze.
【Name: David】
Level: 0
Attributes: Strength 6, Agility 5, Stamina 5, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5.
Combat skills: none
Life Skill: Beginner Cooking
Items that can be made: multigrain steamed buns, porridge, rice cakes.
Hire Price: 50 Bronze.
The two professionals brushed out at the same time.
Yun Ling was very melancholy.
Although the wood workshop can also create equipment, but limited by the material, most of them are white.
The blacksmith shop is different, extracting metal minerals, you can make swords, daggers, bows and arrows, and make white, blue, purple and even orange equipment.
As for the restaurant, the building is completed, and the store can sell recovery food. In addition, there are restaurants in the territory, and residents can buy food with copper coins, instead of cooking by themselves.
"I originally wanted to unlock the restaurant and blacksmith shop at the same time, but the protective cover is essential, and the building space is limited..."
Yun Ling let out a long sigh and had no choice but to unlock the "restaurant".
Copper Coins - 100.
New buildings pop up.
Yun Ling decided to hire David, named him "Chef A", and asked him to work in a restaurant in the future.
"Sir, 'glutinous rice' is needed to make rice cakes," Chef A reminded.
"I know." Yun Ling replied, "There will be additional collection tasks in the task hall in the future."
**
"This is the quest hall. You can get materials from monsters to exchange for copper coins here."
"This is a wood workshop. There are wooden sticks, round shields, wooden sticks, torches and other equipment for sale."
"This is a tailor's shop. Cloth shoes, cloth armor, and belts are sold. In addition, there are simple bandages, high-quality bandages, quivers, and hunting quivers."
"This is a warehouse. I don't know what it looks like inside. You can't enter without qualifications."
"It's a wooden house. It costs 500 copper coins. After purchasing it, you can have 20 square meters of private space. I heard that only with the owner's permission, other people can enter the room."
"The transparent protective cover over the territory has just appeared, and the specific function is not clear for the time being. I guess it is a defensive building."
"The restaurant has just been built, I don't know what to sell, why don't we go in and have a look?"
Zong Yeming kept introducing his relatives along the way, and when he finished visiting the territory, he happened to stop at the door of the restaurant.
It was dinner time, Zongfa nodded, "Let's go, go in and have a look."
In front of the restaurant is the hall, and in the back is the kitchen.
Grandfather tried to push the door to enter, but unexpectedly received a system prompt, [You are not qualified to enter, you are not allowed to enter. 】
"It's where NPCs work, and players are not allowed to enter." Zong Yeming said while looking at the shelves.
【Name: Multigrain Steamed Bread】
Quality: ordinary
Use effect: Basic recovery speed + 1 HP/min (lasts 1 hour)
Price: 50 copper coins.
【Name: White Porridge】
Quality: ordinary
Use effect: base recovery speed + 1 mana per minute (lasts 1 hour)
Price: 50 copper coins.
【Name: Multigrain Steamed Bread】
Quality: none
Use effect: fill the stomach.
Price: 2 copper coins.
【Name: White Porridge】
Quality: none
Use effect: fill the stomach.
Price: 1 copper coin.
Zong Yeming asked, "Do you want to eat multigrain steamed buns? Do you want to drink porridge?"
The aunt said, "Buy four bowls of porridge. The multi-grain steamed buns are not needed. We have dry food ourselves."
"Okay." Zong Yeming bought 4 servings of white porridge according to his words.
Copper Coins - 4.
The porridge on the shelf immediately changed from "untouchable" to "collectible".
Zong Yeming took down the white porridge and found that the porridge was placed in a wooden bowl with a wooden spoon beside it.
Look at the wooden spoons and wooden bowls, and the words "restaurant items are not allowed to be brought out" are written on them.
"Find a place to sit and eat." Brother Zong Yeming said.
There are dozens of square tables in the hall. Tables and chairs are clean and tidy, not a trace of dust.
The family of four randomly found a place to sit down.
Grandmother took out tortillas, sausages, biscuits, and beef in sauce from her backpack, "Eat it."
Zong Yeming was quite unhappy in his heart. Before the game starts, the conditions at home are not bad. Which meal is not three meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes, and a pot of soup? But now...
The father and mother have suffered a lot these days, and now they are holding corn cakes, which are especially delicious.
Brother took a bite of biscuits and porridge, while eating dinner, he was distracted.
"What are you thinking?" Zong Yeming wondered.
"I was thinking, Lingyun Village is really a good place." My brother said slowly.
Zong Yeming, "…"
Compared with the high-end neighborhoods where you lived in the past, what is a good place? I'm afraid his brother is not stupid.
"Your brother is right." The father also said, "Compared to other territories, Lingyun Village is a hundred times, a thousand times stronger."
Zong Yeming was stunned.
The grandmother understood when she saw the silly son, "Have only stayed in Lingyun Village? Haven't been to other territories?"
"I haven't been there." Zong Yeming admitted honestly.
"First of all, I don't know where the other territories are, so I can't go there."
"Secondly, I don't want to take risks. Going out and exploring are always close by."
"The most important thing is that there are restrictions on the number of residents. I am afraid that I will go to other territories and will not be able to purchase temporary resident qualifications, and I will not be able to stay in the safe area overnight."
Hearing this, my brother couldn't help sighing, "You are lucky."
Zong Yeming listened curiously, "What about other territories?"
Grandmother didn't speak, her expression was not very good-looking.
Grandfather snorted coldly, "Disorder, chaos, few buildings, and rare commodities."
Zongye Ming was slightly startled, and hesitantly said, "But there are not many shops in Lingyun Village..."
Brother: "Yesterday we spent the night at the Stardust camp. There are only warehouses, carpentry workshops, barbecue shops and tailor shops."
"The wood workshop sells wooden beds, wooden chairs, wooden spears, and torches. The tailor's shop sells cloth shoes, belts, quivers, and simple bandages. The barbecue shop sells pork belly and beef."
"The quantity of goods is scarce and the variety is limited."
Zong Yeming was stunned.
"Taxes must be paid for transactions in the territory, so some people, under the pretense of saving money, asked them to trade outside the camp." The grandfather said with a cold face, "As a result, he was ambushed and robbed after going out."
"Food is monopolized by large teams, and it is very expensive to sell." The grandmother sighed. "A pound of rice is 20 copper coins, a bag of instant noodles is 10 copper coins, and a palm-sized noodle cake is 5 copper coins. Listen to the price."
"Isn't this cheating?!" Zong Yeming was both shocked and stunned.
"If you don't buy it, just wait and starve." My brother laughed at himself, "Not everyone can find food and water with luck, especially those who run from the city center to the suburbs like us."
"The shop was looted first, and almost nothing was found when it arrived."
Zong Yeming felt sad when he heard it, "Brother..."
"Okay, everyone is fine at last." My brother said lightly and talked about the topic, "In the future, the family will work hard together, and life will soon get better again."
"Yes!" Zong Yeming cheered up, "First save money to buy a formal resident qualification, then buy a house and stock up on food."
After a sudden change, he finally understood what a good habit to stock up on.
"I see that some players are selling homemade equipment. When we have money, let's each buy a pair of straw sandals." The father analyzed calmly, "First arm yourself, then form a team to fight monsters and hunt. After the level is high, life will be natural. The better."
The grandmother said, "I have the 'primary gathering' skill! You fight monsters, and I can collect materials nearby. You can eat berries, sell sackcloth for money, get wheat straw and straw, and learn to weave straw shoes."
You are a family of four, and you are full of expectations for the future.
**
Yunling checked the territory attribute panel.
Only display on the panel——
【Inhabitable population: 1000】
【Existing residents: 238 (temporary residents 217)】
It can be seen that after the territory is upgraded, new players continue to enter.
For the time being, there is no need to worry about population saturation, Yun Ling considered a new problem.
Currently unlockable buildings in the territory: 7, existing buildings: 7, which are warehouse (level 1), task hall (level 1), wood workshop (level 1), tailor shop (level 1), residence (level 1), Protective cover (level 1), restaurant (level 1).
She wants to save copper coins and choose one of them to upgrade.
"The second-level warehouse can accommodate more supplies and extend the shelf life of food. It should be a good choice?" Yun Ling thought.
"Tier 2 tailors can accommodate more staff, and mass production of bandages is also good."
"If I remember correctly, the level 2 shield has a health value of 20,000. It is equivalent to a territorial barrier. The higher the upper limit of HP, the safer the residents of the territory."
After thinking about it and making up his mind, Yun Ling simply went out for a walk.
"Jam, delicious jam! It tastes great on bread! Only 3 copper coins per bottle."
"Selling mushrooms! Fresh mushrooms! 10 copper coins for 1."
"Kill the honey dropped by the bee colony! It's sweet and fragrant! Come and buy it if you need it."
"Kill the eggs dropped by the golden pheasant, 1 copper coin and 1, only the last 4 are left, those who want to buy it quickly."
"Clearance sale! Three rabbit skins for only 5 copper coins! Two rabbit legs for only 5 copper coins!"
…
In the Doomsday Calamity game, there are hundreds of cooking materials alone. The ones listed in the quest hall are only a small part of the most common and easiest to obtain.
The so-called jam is made from the processing and processing of berries.
Mushrooms are everywhere and easy to pick. Yunling knew a recipe for "mushroom soup" and made a finished product. After eating it, it could restore health and mana at the same time.
Honey dropped by the swarm counts as a base material. As far as Yun Ling knew, there were seven recipes that could use this material.
Not to mention eggs. It is very suitable for cooking directly or cooking with other ingredients.
Rabbit skin can be used to make bracers and gloves, and the level of life skills is sufficient to make blue-quality armor.
Yun Ling saw that there were players setting up stalls and selling materials everywhere, and he was quite unable to move his legs.
"Anyway, game ingredients have a shelf life of more than half a year. Stock up in advance, and you can always use them in the future."
Thinking like this, Yun Ling let go of his hands and feet and bought and bought as much as he wanted.
**
The bonfire flickered.
Yu Kun sat beside the stone bonfire, his eyes were blank, his eyes were full of blankness.
He is a freshman.
At the beginning of the game, he and his roommates were hacking in an Internet cafe. Later, I accidentally picked up the skills and fought a way out with my roommates, and finally escaped.
After collecting supplies, fighting monsters and upgrading, life gradually became more stable.
He thought it would go on like this. Who would have guessed that I went out to explore today and encountered BOSS and its little brother.
He wanted to take a detour and leave, but his roommate said that wealth and wealth are at risk. It's boring to be an ordinary player, and to be the strongest.
Yu Kun was angry and anxious, but there were many people who supported his remarks. In the end, all the members raised their hands to vote, and most of them agreed to start a group fight against the BOSS.
The tragic battle was unforgettable to this day.
The end result was that the player suffered a disastrous defeat, with most of the casualties.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Kun left alone, finally saving his life.
How about just fleeing back to the territory? The team is gone, the trusted teammates are gone, and he is alone.
Yu Kun stared at the bonfire in a daze, not knowing at all.
**
Sunset Village.
Shi Jianshan gnawed at the coarse grain steamed buns the size of his fist, his face numb.
Beside him, a middle-aged man in his 40s was indignant, "These people are really not a thing! When I joined the team, I said well, as long as you work hard and fight monsters in the future, you will drop skill cards, which will definitely be distributed to team members. "
"What's the result? Not a single one was taken out!"
"No matter what treasure you get, it will be shared equally by the backbone of the team. We, these little characters, don't get any benefits."
"If I had known it would become like this, why should I join the team in the first place? Why don't you go out on your own!"
"It's good now, it's the seventh day of the game, and there are monsters in groups outside, all over the territory. What about us? No skills, no equipment, not even players!"
The middle-aged man was so angry that he could not wait to leave the team on the spot.
"Yeah." Shi Jianshan whispered, "Why did you believe their nonsense before? Why do you want to be comfortable and dare not leave? Now you can't leave if you want to."
"On the seventh day of the game, the skill cards have long been picked up. Without skills and weapons, it is impossible to live without the team."
The middle-aged man sighed heavily. The reason is simple, and he can understand it, but unfortunately it is too late.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the middle-aged man couldn't help cursing.
"Old Liang, save your energy." Shi Jianshan reminded, "The head of the regiment only distributes two steamed buns to ordinary team members every day, one in the morning and one in the evening. If you are too hungry to move, you will be abandoned by the team if you have no energy to work."
The middle-aged man wanted to refute, but his lips moved, unable to say anything, and finally closed his eyes in despair.
Shi Jianshan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
I heard that collecting resources can unlock skills and become players, so you must try it out. No matter what, don't sit still!
He made up his mind and his face remained calm, as if he had already accepted his fate.
**
Lingyun Village.
In the dead of night, most players fell asleep.
The old man was still sitting on the small bench, facing the bonfire, struggling to weave shoes.
Zhang Hongbo looked rather unbearable, and whispered, "Grandpa, let's make it up tomorrow, it's very late today."
The old man Zhang said stubbornly, "I'm not tired, I'll work for a while, you go to bed first."
Zhang Hongbo was silent.
How can you not be tired? They have been busy for seventeen or eighteen hours in a row! I was already old, my health was not good, and I was still messing around...
But he also knew that Grandpa was racing against time.
Straw sandals have no technical content, and are not only easy to learn and knit, but also easy to obtain raw materials. Some people are ingenious, and after a little pondering, they immediately learn without a teacher.
After a while, everyone will knit straw sandals. Why do customers still buy theirs? Who is not buying
So grandpa made up his mind to sell more straw sandals and make more money before everyone else learned the craft.
His original words were as follows, "Hongbo, opportunities don't wait for anyone. If you miss this time, who knows if there will be any opportunities to make money in the future? It's been hard and tired recently. There is nothing to worry about in the future. Even if we can only sell a pair of straw sandals in the next two or three days, our grandfather will not starve to death!"
Zhang Hongbo only hates himself for being clumsy and unable to learn it after a long time. Otherwise, he could replace his grandfather and weave shoes day and night.
Thinking back to the evening, many players gathered around Grandpa to watch the shoe weaving process, unable to stop him, Zhang Hongbo sighed and did not persuade him any further.
**
Day 8 of the game.
Yunling steamed the steamed buns with sauce and meat, ready to eat breakfast.
The steamed buns are soft, with beef in sauce. After steaming, the sauce penetrates into the dough, not to mention how fragrant it is! One bite, full of sauce and meaty aroma.
While eating, the system suddenly sounded a prompt, "Player 'You Qingwen' requested to enter the house, do you allow it?"
You Qingwen and Zheng Mingyue bought a wooden house next to them, and they were considered neighbors to each other.
Yun Ling didn't hesitate and clicked "Yes" directly.
As soon as she entered the door, You Qingwen couldn't help but sniff, "It smells so good."
"Sauce meat buns, do you want to eat them?" Yun Ling warmly greeted him.
You Qingwen secretly swallowed her saliva, her face serious, "No, I've eaten breakfast."
Nowadays, life is not easy for anyone, and food is more precious than gold. She is not short of food, there is no need to eat and drink.
After clearing her throat, You Qingwen explained her intention, "The team has taken on a new job, going to the basement in the countryside to carry supplies, are you here?"
Yun Ling shook his head, "No."
You Qingwen wondered, "This is a good job. You can find all kinds of supplies when you go there, why are you not at all tempted?"
You know, when the disaster strikes suddenly, people are hungry. When they get the chance, they desperately stock up on food, like hamsters.
Yun Ling is actually helpless, "I want it. I want the materials, and I want the game materials. When I have time, I also want to fight monsters and upgrade, and produce homemade equipment. Isn't it too much work, can't do all the work? "
You Qingwen, "…"
Does she live so fulfilling every day? It sounds scary.
"So," You Qingwen considered her words carefully, "Do you think doing other things is more important, and would rather give up collecting supplies?"
"Collecting game ingredients such as mushrooms and honey is also a collection of materials." Yun Ling said sternly, "The difference is that these can be used to make game props, which can provide players with a state of gain."
The most important thing is that the warehouse has hoarded a batch of rice and flour, enough to eat for a long time.
You Qingwen hesitated and asked tentatively, "Do you know any inside information?"
Yun Ling laughed, "No, these are just personal conjectures. I don't know why, I just think game materials are more important than real objects."
"Okay, I won't call you for similar activities in the future." You Qingwen's expression changed, and after a long time she made up her mind, "After a few days, the food you have stored up will be enough for half a year, so you will no longer lead the team to run around. "
"At that time, fight more monsters, brush more drops, and store more game materials."
You Qingwen always remembers that on the first day of the game, it was Yun Ling who told them to pick up cards and learn skills. Therefore, she firmly believed that it was right to listen to Yun Ling.
Yun Ling replied casually, thinking in his heart, no matter how the situation changes, there is nothing wrong with diligent leveling.
**
After the meal, Yun Ling took the NPC out.
After walking out of the territory for a few minutes, I found that there were many sweet potatoes buried in the soil.
Yun Ling was overjoyed and greeted the second guard, "Dig it!"
[Successful collection, get sweet potato*1. 】
The system beeps one after another.
The sweet potato is huge and heavy in the hand.
Yun Ling was about to let the guards lead the team to level up nearby when he heard a sharp bird call.
Her expression froze, and she spoke quickly, "Enemy attack! Heaven! Prepare to fight!"
As soon as the voice fell, the birds gathered into a black mass and swooped towards them.
"Group attack skills!" Yun Ling shouted.
"Crazy stick." The guard swept across with a wooden stick.
"Meteor shower." Mage A raised his staff.
"Volley." Archer Armor fired seven arrows in a cone in front of him.
Yun Ling and Guard B stepped forward at the same time. Then use the shield to smash hard, knocking the enemy away.
Just had a face-to-face, and dozens of flying birds were killed or injured. The rest were frightened, fluttered their wings, and ran away in a blink of an eye.
Dropped items: Copper Coins*29, White Skill Cards*1, Dead Branches*5, Dirt*3.
Yun Ling heaved a sigh of relief and said with joy, "If they move slowly, it will be miserable for them to do it first."
Asuka swoops, targeting the same person, dealing a lot of damage in one go. A little bit of luck, it's not impossible to die inexplicably.
Picking up the dropped items one by one, Yun Ling ordered, "Continue digging."
**
Sweet potatoes are a very convenient ingredient that can be steamed, roasted, and taste quite good.
Looking at the pile of sweet potatoes in the backpack, Yun Ling couldn't help but set up a fire and picked out a freshly roasted one.
With the passage of time, the skin of the sweet potato gradually softened, and the enticing aroma wafted in the air.
Yun Ling peeled off the dark outer skin, tried to take a sip, and immediately frowned.
Sweet potatoes are sweet and glutinous, as if mixed with honey, so delicious!
【Name: Roasted Sweet Potato】
Quality: ordinary
Materials needed: sweet potato*1.
Use effect: Basic recovery speed + 1 HP/min (lasts 1 hour)
That's the hallmark of culinary skills.
The ingredients are everywhere, and anything can be used to cook. However, the finished products have similar effects, and most of them can only speed up the basic recovery.
It was purely by accident that Yun Ling would learn cooking skills. The "Intermediate Cooking" skill card was obtained during the public beta, and the "Intermediate Cooking" skill was directly mastered after learning. She thought that too many skills would not overwhelm her, so she used the skill card.
Cooking skills have proven to be quite practical. The sources of ingredients are wide, and recovery props can be made in batches. She can't use it herself and can sell it to others at a high price.
Speaking of which, thanks to learning intermediate cooking, I have spare money to purchase basic materials, and I can smash my sewing skills to the advanced level.
The scene during the public beta was vividly remembered, Yun Ling recalled the past and shrugged slightly.
"That—" a young voice sounded, "Can you share some of the roasted sweet potatoes with me?"
Looking at the sound, I saw a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl walking out of the bushes, looking at her timidly at the moment.
Baked sweet potatoes
Yun Ling was slightly startled, "I've eaten it."
"It doesn't matter." The little girl secretly swallowed.
Yun Ling reacted, "How long have you not eaten?"
The little girl pursed her lips and said, "I haven't eaten all day and night..."
Yun Ling sighed, "Sit here for a while, and I'll bake one for you again."
With that, she took out new sweet potatoes from her backpack and started roasting them.
The little girl was a little nervous. She twisted her fingers, lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice, "I-I have no copper coins, so I can't pay."
"It's just a sweet potato." Yun Ling said indifferently, "I'll give it to you, I won't charge you."
The little girl's nose was sour and she almost cried, "You are such a good person."
"My name is Xiaoying. I stayed with other people before. They thought I was clumsy and couldn't help, so they wouldn't let me follow."
"I know the world has changed, I want to fight monsters and earn copper coins, but I'm afraid..."
At the end of the day, the little girl couldn't stop shaking, as if she couldn't restrain the fear in her heart.
Yun Ling told her, "It's fine if you don't fight monsters."
The little girl stared at Yun Ling blankly, her eyes full of disbelief.
