In the afternoon, the system spawned two more NPCs.

**

On April 1, the game "Doomsday Calamity" was launched in shock.

Since then, the peaceful life has been broken. Everyone was in a panic, and they didn't know what to do.

As time goes by day by day, people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and life gradually becomes more regular.

It's just that there is always a lingering unease deep inside. Residents are hoarding food indiscriminately, as if only in this way can they gain a sense of security.

Two days passed in a flash.

Day 11.

At 12:00 noon, the system notified, [The 10-day novice protection period has ended, and the residential area may be attacked at any time, please prepare in advance. 】

After receiving the news, the residents looked confused, "The residential area may be attacked at any time? What do you mean?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw ten bison heading straight for the territory.

Someone was shocked, "What's the matter? When the monster walks near the territory, won't it take the initiative to avoid it?"

Another person said quietly, "This is probably the so-called 'novice protection period' effect. Now that the novice period is over, the territory is no longer protected by the system."

While speaking, the bison kept hitting the shield, causing 10, 11, and 13 damage.

"Prepare the archers." Knowing that the novice protection period will end in 10 days, Yunling did not go out, so he ordered calmly, "Release the arrows!"

Archer A, Archer B, and Archer C obey orders, draw the bow, aim, and shoot.

Mage A and Mage B cast attack skills.

Guard A, Assassin A, Guard B and other melee professions stepped out of the territory and consciously helped.

Priest A and Priest B approached, and they threw recovery skills at the right time to help increase blood.

Under the siege of npc, the bison fell to the ground, exploding copper coins and beef.

Next, the guards lead the team to clean the battlefield and skillfully pick up dropped items.

"You will stay in Lingyun Village in the future to protect the safety of the territory." Yun Ling found a place where no one was there, instructed the archer to remove the black cloth on his face, and then set his name to public.

"Yes." Archer A, Archer B, and Archer C responded in unison.

So when the residents were worried and whispered, inadvertently, three more guards were added to the territory.

**

s City, Xinghua Village.

Local residents also received system prompts.

In the next second, a flock of birds swooped down and attacked.

"Ah, it hurts."

"Help!!"

"Where's the npc? Where is the npc? Kill the mobs now!"

The young and middle-aged people went out to hunt, and most of the people who stayed in the territory were old, weak, sick and disabled.

At this time, the system guards were dispatched.

The two melee shields raised some of the residents behind them.

The three mages chanted in a low voice and performed spell attacks.

An archer draws a bow and shoots an arrow.

An assassin approached, the dagger was gripped backwards, and with a forceful stroke, a bird was instantly killed.

"Go away, go away!" A female resident was besieged by five flying birds and immediately shouted in panic.

Without waiting for the system's guards to rescue, the female residents fell down because of their serious injuries and exhaustion.

The birds fluttered their wings, looking for their next target.

Five or six minutes later, the monsters were all killed.

The village was in a mess, and the residents were injured and frightened.

Then, a semi-circular transparent shield suddenly appeared over the territory.

Defensive buildings are finally unlocked.

**

s City, Peach Blossom Camp.

At the same time as receiving the notification from the system, the ground split inch by inch—the next second, a centipede more than five meters long appeared in the camp.

"Run! There are monsters!"

Residents panicked and fled for their lives.

"Where's the npc? Isn't there an npc?" Someone barely kept calm and shouted, "Where are you going? Come out and save people!"

However, the Peach Blossom Camp is located in a remote location, with few residents and backward development, and the mission hall was built late. In the entire camp, there are only 1 law, 1 bow, 1 animal husbandry and 1 assassin.

"What are you doing standing still! Still not saving people!" The player caught the figures of the NPCs and couldn't help but urge.

If it is a player, if he thinks that this person has a bad attitude, he may directly strike and quit. But the NPC, after listening to it, greeted him without hesitation.

At this moment, the players who were out hunting returned to the camp to rest.

The residents were overjoyed and shouted for help, "Something has broken into the camp! Come and help!"

After a fierce battle, npc-3, player-2, finally killed the centipede.

When the battle was over, the atmosphere became extremely dull. All residents are thinking about one question: the camp has become no longer safe, should they continue to live here

**

s city, rose village.

Territory boundaries are surrounded by guardrails, which are the defensive structures "fences" that the system initially unlocks.

Inside the guardrail, residents cook and weave, creating a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

Suddenly, the system notified, [The 10-day novice protection period is over, and the residential area may be attacked at any time, please prepare in advance. 】

"What's the meaning?"

In a daze, a large spider appeared in the sight of the residents.

"Enemy attack!!"

Some people screamed, some hurriedly retreated, and the scene became a mess in an instant.

The sparse wooden fence can't stop the spiders at all. They pass through the gap and move quickly towards the target.

Soon enough, a large fireball hit the spiders, scorching them.

Six system guards were dispatched to suppress it. It didn't take long for the unrest to subside.

Residents are fortunate to live the rest of their lives after the disaster. "Fortunately, they chose to settle in Rose Village."

If it is another territory, the overall strength is slightly worse, and it will be cold if you are not careful...

**

In the afternoon, Yunling led the team on a trip, and along the way, he saw that the nearby resource points were picked up.

She knew that in recent days, players gradually realized the importance of collection, so they actively joined in and collected materials to subsidize their households.

Even the hunting team, occasionally unlucky enough to meet suitable prey, will dig sweet potatoes to survive.

What's more, they will sneak out of the territory after nightfall and move around nearby. Once encounter a monster sneak attack, run back quickly. Even if you are injured, as long as you ask the priest for help and pay for treatment, you will be fine soon.

After going back and forth, the resources near Lingyun Village were almost illuminated.

"It seems that we have to go a little further." Yun Ling thought.

The npc level is quite high, the skills are complete, and the equipment is good, she is not worried about encountering danger.

Picking a random direction, the group moved on.

**

In the oat field, two female players are burying their heads in the harvest.

"I announce that this field belongs to us!" A voice suddenly sounded.

The two female players were stunned for a moment, then raised their heads blankly.

I saw a five-person team standing next to them, looking at them impatiently at this time, "What are you doing? Why don't you get out!"

"Doesn't make sense? Obviously we came first..." The short-haired girl was about to reason with the other party, but her companion pulled her sleeves.

"Forget it." The companion whispered.

The short-haired girl pursed her lips, and there was a trace of unwillingness in her eyes.

"It's just to drive you away, not to do anything to you. You should be grateful to the brothers for your generosity." The gangster-like man said cheekily.

The short-haired girl became more and more popular.

"Don't be impulsive, let's go." The companion simply packed up his belongings and left quickly.

"Wait a minute, I don't know how to look at the face." The man muttered, and strode towards the oat field.

Before he got close, the arrow shot fast and stopped in the middle of the road.

At the same time, a lazy voice sounded, "I announce that this field belongs to us."

"Who? Don't die?" the man said angrily.

Yun. Bully. Ling said casually, "Whoever has the biggest fist will own the oat field, and there is no need to pay attention to first come first served."

Seeing several purple clothes on the other side, the man's eyes narrowed slightly, "Don't think that purple clothes are great, we are not vegetarians!"

"I don't believe it." Yun Ling said.

When the number of people is dominant, she does not think she will lose.

The NPC behind him is holding his weapon tightly, ready to do it at any time.

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, our team has snipers in ambush nearby." The man's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, "If you don't get out, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Why are you welcome? Did you stop me?" Yun Ling was amused.

Toast, do not eat and drink fine! A cold light flashed in the man's eyes.

He made a gesture and quietly signaled.

In the next second, three arrows shot in salvo, heading straight for Yunling.

Yun Ling raised the fish scale shield to block the attack. After doing all this, she realized that she should put away the shield and take the damage.

Putting down the shield, Yun Ling asked curiously, "What happened to the sniper? Is he dead?"

Take 110 points of attack and reflect 55 points of damage. If the opponent's blood is thin, he will die, and if the blood is thick, there is still a breath left.

As soon as the voice fell, the jungle in the distance was rustling, and it seemed that someone ran away in a hurry.

"It seems to be fine." Yun Ling felt regretful.

The man's face was blue and purple, and it was really good-looking.

The companion sent a message saying that if he beat him again, he would be the first to die, so he was resolutely unwilling to do it.

On the other hand, with five people on one's own side and six people on the other side, the number of people is not dominant...

"Didling, I don't know how to look at your face." Yun Ling smiled half-smilingly, "I just drove you away instead of doing anything to you. You should be grateful."

The man is so arrogant, and he can't do anything about her.

"Let's go!" In the end, the man squeezed three words between his teeth and left angrily with the team members.

Stopping and staring, the two girls who were driven away have long since disappeared.

Yun Ling looked back, "Since we can't find anyone, let's collect it ourselves."

**

There was a lot of oats left, and a total of 16 oat flour was harvested.

Not far away, there is a piece of millet pepper, which is very attractive and red.

Millet pepper can be used to make spicy sauce, which is perfect for bibimbap. Since they met, Yun Ling was not polite, and let people pick them directly.

Occasionally encountered a player who lowered his head to collect, without waiting for the other party to panic, Yun Ling said "passing by" without looking sideways, and walked away quickly.

Stop and go all the way, in a blink of an eye it was afternoon.

See the top right display, "11th, Spring, Disaster Day, 16:45:45."

Yun Ling said, "Go back."

The NPCs responded in unison and walked back.

On the way back, Yun Ling thought to himself, since the calendar appeared, there is no day that is not a disaster day. I don't know if there are any other days besides the disaster day.

As for the "spring", it probably refers to spring. I just don't know what new tricks the game will come up with with seasons.

While thinking about it, the village is already in sight.

**

As the sun went down, the residents returned to the village one after another, and the territory gradually became lively.

"'Elementary Woodcraft', life skill card, one 100 copper coins, first come first served!"

"'Crash', C-level warrior skill card, 150 copper coins per piece."

"'Cloth shoes', durability 20/20, a pair of 80 copper coins, come quickly."

When the team gains something, it always digests it internally to improve its overall strength. Make sure that the team members are properly armed, and then take out the excess equipment and skill cards for sale.

I heard that there are life skill cards, combat skill cards, and equipment, and the residents are crowding around - there are so many items, maybe there are some suitable ones

Yun Ling glanced at it, and seeing that there was nothing to his liking, he got up and moved out of the way.

"Yunling."

Someone called her name from behind.

Yun Ling turned around and found it was Lu Chuan, "What's the matter?"

Lu Chuan began to organize his backpack, "wood, linen, cotton, silk, willow, rice..."

"Food recipes 'Chili Sauce', 'Chili Scrambled Eggs', 'Spicy Boiled Fish'."

"Sewing drawings 'leather armor', 'leather boots'."

Yun Ling, "!!!"

She was surprised and delighted, "Where did these come from?!"

"Fighting monsters and falling." Lu Chuan said.

"That's great." Yun.Life Player. Ling just got the card and couldn't wait to learn.

Really easy to satisfy.

Lu Chuan laughed, "I'll give you a new one next time."

Yun Ling nodded again and again, looking at Lu Chuan as if he was looking at the card-swiping machine of Mo De's feelings.

"Let's go." After emptying his backpack, Lu Chuan waved his hand and left gracefully.

Yun Ling got the game materials *n, and he was very happy.

Just at this moment, the panel suddenly jumped out, [NPC "Hawk" paid a visit, would you like to hire? 】

Click to view.

【Name: Hawk】

Craftable Items: Wooden Stick, Wooden Shield, Wooden Staff, Wooden Bow, Torch, Willow Stick, Willow Shield, Willow Staff, Willow Bow, Wooden Bed, Wooden Cabinet, Wooden Table, Wooden Chair, Wooden Bowl, Wooden Spoon, Wooden Chopsticks , wooden box.

Yun Ling, "!!!"

What a fairy npc!

After recruiting him, the types of goods that can be sold in the woodshop immediately doubled several times.

Yun Ling excitedly clicked "Yes", who knew——

[Insufficient balance, unable to recruit. 】

Yun Ling, "…"

Looking at the more than 2,000 copper coins in the account, she deeply reflected on why she was so poor.

Going to the night market, buying materials is too bold, always buying and buying as much as you want.

There are 50 collection tasks in the task hall, and the number of completions has basically reached the upper limit.

Affected by the self-made equipment, the business of the store has not been very good recently.

Residential houses are difficult to sell, and it took a long time to sell one.

When you meet the right NPC, you will never be reluctant to recruit.

The confluence of many factors has directly led to the current situation.

Yun Ling finally understood why the NPC stayed in the territory for 24 hours, that was to give the lord time to raise money.

"5,000 copper coins, right?" She pondered for a moment, and quickly came up with an idea.

**

"A pair of cloth shoes costs 80? It's too expensive, it's cheaper." A player bargained.

The seller's eyes widened, "80 is too expensive? In the system store, the asking price is 100!"

Players don't care, "It's cheaper, I'll pay for it when it's cheaper."

There are many people asking, and there is no need to worry about selling the equipment.

The seller immediately waved his hand impatiently and said as if chasing flies, "If you don't have money, buy straw sandals, don't make trouble here."

"Hey, how did you talk?"

The player was in a hurry, just about to argue with the other party, one person rushed out, and quickly grabbed the cloth shoes, "80 copper coins, I bought it!"

"I told you to dilly-dally, let's take the lead, right?" The seller pouted and entertained other customers.

The player became angry and left angrily.

The old man Zhang watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh with admiration, "The business is really good."

"Grandpa..." Zhang Hongbo moved his lips, not knowing what to say.

"You've been busy all day, sit down and take a rest." After speaking, the old man lowered his head and knitted straw sandals seriously.

Zhang Hongbo sighed silently.

Since the discovery of self-made equipment, many people have brought straw and wheat straw to learn how to make equipment by themselves.

Some people are smart and learn it all at once.

Some people are clumsy and can't learn anything.

He belongs to the latter.

After confirming that he did not have the talent for shoe knitting, he went out to hunt and gather every day.

Grandpa stayed in the village to weave shoes day and night.

Others made shoes not only to wear them, but also to sell them cheaply, and his family's business was once suppressed. Sometimes, a pair of straw sandals is hard weaved and can only sell for 25 copper coins. Recently, more and more people can weave shoes, and the price of straw sandals has even been reduced to 21 or 20 copper coins.

Zhang Hongbo was angry, anxious, and… helpless.

On the other hand, the old man Zhang had a good attitude, "No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Although it doesn't make as much money as before, it's better than going out and taking risks. Don't worry, in two days, we'll be able to save enough money to buy a house!"

While speaking, another pair of straw sandals was completed.

【Congratulations on making your own equipment "Grass Sandals". 】

【Congratulations for getting 5 experience points. 】

[Congratulations to the player for upgrading. 】

[You get 3 free attributes, which can be assigned at will. 】

upgrade? Old Man Zhang was stunned, and then tried to add 1 point each to Strength, Agility, and Stamina.

In an instant, old man Zhang found that he was sharp and clear, his strength increased, his fingers were more flexible, and he was more energetic.

What are the benefits of knitting shoes

The old man Zhang was happy, and his words were full of happiness, "Fortunately, I know this craft."

Zhang Hongbo thought to himself, yes, life is much better than before, he should be content.

During the chat, one person rushed out of the tailor shop. Seeing his teammate's voice trembling and his face flushed, "The tailor's shop sells linen backpacks and cotton backpacks! There are 4 and 6 grids, and each grid can hold 99 identical items. There is no weight on your back, so hurry up and raise money. buy it!!"

The team members were expressionless, "I know you are very excited, but have you ever thought that everyone can hear you shouting like this?"

That person, "… "

Almost instantly, dozens of people rushed into the tailor shop to snap up.

The teammates supported their foreheads and sighed helplessly, "Why can't you calm down and speak quietly?"

The man was speechless, and after a while he whispered, "It doesn't matter, the backpack is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it."

"Let's go," the teammate took the lead, "go and see what's going on."

**

【Name: Linen Backpack】

Quality: ordinary

Durability: 20/20

Wearing effect: 4 storage compartments, each compartment can store 99 identical items, no weight on the back, and does not occupy the equipment compartment.

Price: 200 copper coins.

【Name: Cotton Backpack】

Quality: ordinary

Durability: 40/40

Wearing effect: 6 storage compartments, each compartment can store 99 identical items, no weight on the back, and does not occupy the equipment compartment.

Price: 300 copper coins.

"Fuck!" The player who rushed into the tailor shop first scolded, showing his astonishment.

"Buy it!!" A female player saw that the backpack was overjoyed and did not hesitate to pay for it.

Team members get together and decide whether to buy a cotton backpack or two linen backpacks.

When the messenger entered the door with his teammates, they found that only three of the ten linen backpacks were left, and only two of the five cotton backpacks were left.

"A bunch of animals!" said the man indignantly.

Teammate: "Don't talk nonsense. If you don't buy it, everything will be robbed."

Talking about making money quickly.

In an instant, the backpack was sold out.

The teammates looked at some big teams with lingering fears, "The team members have a well-balanced career mix, six pieces of equipment are complete, and the colors are white and blue. These people spawn monsters every day, and the copper coins will probably drop more than one or two hundred?"

He saw it just now, and when he shot it, he was a cotton backpack and two linen backpacks. Looking at the relaxed and contented appearance, it seems that there is still some spare energy left.

The teammates couldn't help sighing, people really can't compare with people.

**

[The tailor shop sold a linen backpack*1, congratulations on getting 200 copper coins. 】

[The tailor shop sold a cotton backpack*1, congratulations on getting 300 copper coins. 】

The news took turns swiping, and after a while Yun Ling became rich again.

Seeing that the amount was sufficient, she decided to hire her and named it "Carpenter B".

Copper Coins - 5000.

The second carpenter appeared and said respectfully, "I would like to serve you, my lord."

"You will stay in the wood workshop to work in the future." Yun Ling entrusted him with the important task, "willow stick, willow shield, willow stick, willow bow, wooden bed, wooden cabinet, wooden table, wooden chair, wooden bowl, wooden spoon, wooden Chopsticks, wooden tubes, more or less stock."

"Yes." Carpenter B took the order and went to work in the wood workshop immediately.

A smile appeared in Yun Ling's eyes, "The guess is correct."

As a lord, you can freely enter and exit the system shop studio, and you can also borrow tools for free.

In addition, the items she made can be freely placed on store shelves for sale.

In this way, the sale of goods is much easier. No stalls, no bargaining with players, no tug-of-war.

Yawning, Yun Ling paced back to the room.

At this moment, the wooden house is no longer empty, but there are bamboo beds, bamboo cabinets, and bamboo chairs, which are full of the breath of life.

These are the bamboo products made by Yang Yong.

"The days are finally going well." Yun Ling closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.

**

At night, in the dead of night, the players are all asleep, only the bonfire makes a "crackling" sound.

Suddenly, Archer A noticed something and looked out of the territory vigilantly.

Outside the territory, three wooden people jumped and approached, and threw wood at the protective cover.

"Bang——" The wood hit the protective cover, making a dull sound.

However, the players have been busy all day, all sleeping deadly. Coupled with the habit of wearing earplugs when sleeping, there is no sign of being awakened.

The archers spontaneously gathered together and fired a salvo.

Soon, the mobs die.

NPCs clean the battlefield, pick up dropped items and put them in the warehouse. They are very skilled.

Unconsciously, Lingyun Village regained its calm.

**

The next day, Yun Ling woke up early.

She had just walked out of the wooden house and was starting a new day vigorously, when she saw a drizzle outside the territory.

Yun Ling, "???"

When did it rain in the Doomsday natural disaster game

She was bewildered.

The rain was blocked by the shield, so the territory was still dry. It's just that once you go out to explore, players will inevitably get wet in the rain.

"Did anyone stock up on umbrellas?"

Residents, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.

Obviously, there is no such thing as an aspiring person.

"Although it's raining, we can't help but go out." One person said, "There's not much food left, so we have to find a way to get more."

"It's inconvenient to hunt when it's raining." Another suggested, "Why don't you gather berries, wild vegetables, and sweet potatoes nearby. Let's go hunting when the weather clears up."

"I'm thinking about a question." The third person asked with a pale face, "What if it rains for a month in a row?"

Hearing this, the companions shivered in unison, and a chill suddenly rose in their hearts.

At the same time, Yun Ling looked at the upper right corner "12th day, spring, disaster day, 07:13:11" and finally understood what it meant.

Spring is not all about rainy days.
