"If you don't fight monsters, how do you get copper coins?" the little girl stammered and asked.
"Sweet potatoes were dug up." Yun Ling pointed to the soil that had been ripped apart. "There are ingredients in the wild. After collecting, steam, boil, and bake before eating."
"There is a lot of food collected. In addition to eating it yourself, you can also go to the territory and sell it to other players."
Hearing this, the little girl was surprised and happy, "I can do this job!"
"Eat first, gather with me later, and go back to camp in the evening." Yun Ling said as he handed out the baked sweet potatoes.
Tears flashed in the little girl's eyes. She nodded vigorously and said earnestly as if to promise, "I will work hard!"
Sweet potatoes are sweet and savory and very filling.
Xiaoying ate half of it, her stomach finally stopped "gurgling", and she felt much more comfortable.
After the meal, Yun Ling dragged his family and brought his family to explore in the distance.
"It's a potato, you can eat it when it's baked."
"It's a berry, and it tastes good in a jam on bread."
"This is a wild vegetable, you can eat it after you dig it out and boil it."
"This is a mushroom, you can eat it after roasting."
…
While spreading common sense, Yunling gathered ingredients with the second guard.
Xiaoying tried to do it herself.
[Successful collection, get berries*1. 】
[Failed to collect, no items were obtained. 】
[Successful collection, get wild vegetables*1. 】
[Failed to collect, no items were obtained. 】
The prompts alternate repeatedly. After several times, the content finally changed, [Congratulations to the player for successfully collecting 10 times. 】
【You have gained 1 point of experience. 】
【You have unlocked the life skill 'Primary Gathering'. 】
[Congratulations, you have officially become a player, and your body will be digitized. 】
She has skills!
She has become a player!
Xiaoying almost cried with joy.
At noon, the backpack was almost full, and Yunling led the team back to the camp.
"Just find a place to set up a stall, and some players will ask you to buy ingredients." Yun Ling instructed, "In addition, some materials can go directly to the task hall to hand in the task."
There are 50 collection tasks in the task hall, each of which can be completed 50 times. Even a life player, without the ability to fight, can rely on collecting and earning copper coins to support himself.
"Thank you, thank you so much." Xiaoying was extremely grateful and couldn't help thanking her.
After finishing speaking, she stuffed the potatoes, berries, wild vegetables, and mushrooms she had collected into Yunling, leaving only a few berries for herself, and then ran away.
"Hey—" Yun Ling was inattentive, and the person ran away without a trace.
Looking at the scattered piles, she laughed dumbly, "What do you mean? Make up for the meal?"
Shaking his head, Yun Ling picked up the materials one by one and then walked towards the warehouse.

Yunling was inventorying the inventory, and a message suddenly popped up, [NPC "William" paid a visit, do you want to hire? 】
Click to view.
【Name: William】
Grade 1
Attributes: Strength 6, Agility 6, Stamina 5, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5.
Combat Skill: C-Class Backstab
Life Skills: Beginner Gathering
Hire Price: 150 Bronze.
Primary Collection!
Yun Ling's eyes lit up, and he immediately decided to hire him and named him "Assassin Armor".
"If there are too many NPCs in the future and the numbering is not enough, I will take out the guard B and the assassin A, and change their names to Collector A and Collector B." She thought to herself.
**
In the afternoon, Yunling led the team to explore in another direction.
Not far from walking out, I saw a large piece of straw and wheat straw being harvested, and more than 20 players were holding the materials as if they were holding treasures.
Straw sandals are about to become popular. Is it sports? Yun Ling didn't find it funny. Shaking her head, she continued to walk with the npc.
After walking for five minutes, I found a jujube forest. She immediately waved her hand, motioning for Guard B and Assassin A to step forward.
The red dates are pitted and mashed into a puree, which is jujube puree. This thing can be eaten directly, and it can also be used as a snack material. It has various uses and it is not a loss to stock up.
Seeing a bamboo forest next to him, Yun Ling ordered the guard armor, the archer armor, and the mage armor to stay on standby, while he entered the bamboo forest to take a look.
Bamboo is full of treasures.
Bamboo leaves can be used as medicine, bamboo poles can be weaved, and bamboo shoots can be eaten.
There is a "Bamboo Workshop" in the building to be unlocked, which uses bamboo to make simple weapons and provide household items.
Because the function is similar to the wood workshop, it is not unlocked.
Unconsciously, Yunling walked deep into the bamboo forest and found bamboo shoots in the corner.
Just as she was about to dig up bamboo shoots, a messy running sound rang out.
Looking up, I saw a player sprinting out of the bamboo forest, shouting loudly, "Run! There are snakes!"
This is the disadvantage of life players.
Going out to collect resources is often dangerous. If you are far away from the territory, no one will help you, and if you don't respond in time, you may die.
Glancing behind him, he saw five green snakes spitting out letters and quickly chasing after him. Yun Ling did not run away, but took out his shield and dagger and took the initiative to meet him.
Yang Yonggang wanted to ask, why don't you run? However, I saw that the green snake was killed one after another, and it was wiped out in a short while.
Yang Yong looked at the delicate young girl, and then at the mobs on the ground who stopped moving, and was momentarily speechless.
Yun Ling picked up the copper coin, snake skin, and fangs, then turned around and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Yang Yong shook his head.
"That's good."
We meet by chance, and help is just by the way. After confirming that the other party was all right, Yun Ling wanted to continue digging bamboo shoots.
Yang Yong saw it and took the initiative to say, "Can I dig for you?"
As he said that, he took out the bamboo shovel and dug quickly.
Yun Ling was slightly startled, "Where did the shovel come from?"
Yang Yong answered while digging, "I made it myself. I'm a craftsman, and I often do manual work before the game starts."
Yunling asked again, "Can the bamboo bed be made? Can the bamboo chair be made?"
"Yes." Yang Yong didn't lift his head.
"I'm placing an order, will you help me make it?" Yun Ling suggested.
Yang Yong raised his head, his expression very stunned.
"Don't want to do it?" Yun Ling misunderstood what Yang Yong meant.
"That's not true." Yang Yong considered his words carefully. "The manual work is delicate and takes time. In addition to the price..."
He hesitated, not knowing what to say.
The offer was low, sorry for the time he spent.
The asking price is too high, I'm sorry for the life-saving grace of others.
"What kind of furniture can be made? What is the price?" Yun Ling didn't care.
"50 copper coins for the bamboo bed, 20 copper coins for the bamboo chair, 5 copper coins for the bamboo shovel..." Considering the grace of saving his life, Yang Yong gritted his teeth and quoted the friendship price.
"I want to customize a bamboo bed, two bamboo chairs, a bamboo shovel, and a bamboo cabinet." Yun Ling said without hesitation.
Yang Yong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reminded, "The price is not cheap after a set is completed."
"It's alright, I have money, you just talk about doing it or not." Yun Ling said.
"Do it!" Yang Yong was decisive.
After agreeing on the details, Yunling added friends and paid a deposit on the spot.
After the upgrade, the strength and physical strength have been enhanced. Yang Yong did the math, it took a day and a half to complete the work. Strictly speaking, I am not at a loss.
Thinking that each other is a cooperative relationship, he tentatively said, "I need to chop some bamboo, can we go back together later?"
"Yes." Yun Ling readily responded.
Hearing this, Yang Yong felt relieved.
**
In the evening, Yun Ling and his party returned to the territory.
After stepping into Lingyun Village, Yang Yong took the materials and left.
Yun Ling first went back to the warehouse to unload the supplies.

View the Territory Properties panel.

【Taxes: 5%. (0-100%, the lord has the right to adjust independently)]

The business of wood workshops and tailor shops is booming, several residential houses are sold intermittently, tax revenue in the territory is soaring, temporary residents pay overnight fees on time, players save money to buy official residence qualifications... Before I know it, 10,000 copper coins have been collected.
Looking at the panel, Yun Ling pondered for a long time, and finally chose to upgrade the "mission hall".
Copper Coins - 10000.
[The mission hall has been upgraded to level 2. 】
[3 NPCs visit every day and stay for 24 hours. 】
[You will have more chances to get higher level and better quality npc. 】
"Carpentry talents, sewing talents, cooking talents, gathering talents, combat talents, anything is fine, feel free to visit!" Yun Ling was full of anticipation, waiting for the NPC to come to his door.

Mission Hall.
[You own linen*5, do you want to submit the task? 】
Xiaoying clicks "Yes".
The next second, linen -5, copper +5.
Xiaoying covered her mouth and forcibly suppressed the urge to scream, her heart beating wildly. She did it! She earned 5 copper coins on her own! There's an overnight fee tonight!
[You own sweet potatoes*2, would you like to submit the task? 】
【You have rice*1, do you want to submit the task? 】
[You own flour*1, do you want to submit the task? 】
[You have cornmeal*1, do you want to submit the task? 】
After thinking about it, Xiaoying left sweet potatoes for dinner today and breakfast tomorrow. As for rice, flour, cornmeal, all sold.
In this way, she has 8 copper coins. Even after paying the overnight fee, there are still 3 copper coins left.
The deposit is not much, but it is a great encouragement for Xiaoying.
This was the first time she stayed in the safe zone on her own.
This means that even if she has no companions, even if she does not force herself to fight monsters, she can survive.
For a time, Xiaoying was in a high mood and was overwhelmed with joy.
After a while, she reluctantly calmed down, "I have to write down all the 50 collection materials in the mission hall, and collect them first in the future."
"The collected materials are exchanged for money, the collected food is kept for myself, and the excess can be hoarded."
"Wait until you save enough money, buy tools, improve collection efficiency, and earn more!"
Xiaoying used her brain and tried her best to think about countermeasures. His eyes were shining and bright, as if he had finally seen hope.
