The drizzle was drizzling, and the hearts of the players under it were cold.
Everyone was eating breakfast, watching the drizzle outside the village, and they were a little uneasy. They prayed secretly, don't get off, stop quickly, they have to go out.
Unfortunately, things backfired.
"It's raining so hard, are we still going out?" one person asked dryly.
There was silence all around, and no one answered.
After a while, one of the companions gritted his teeth, "Go!"
His family consumes a lot of money. If they don't work for a day, the whole family has to drink the northwest wind. No matter how dangerous it is to go out on a rainy day, you have to find a way to get food.
What's more, the overnight fee has not been paid for tonight!
"Those who are willing to go out go out, those who are willing to stay in the territory stay in the territory, and form a team to set off in ten minutes." The captain spoke.
The team members frowned, one by one more tangled.
Yun Ling stared at the rain curtain in a daze. Catching a glimpse of Lu Chuan, she asked casually, "It's raining heavily today, are you going out?"
"There is enough stock, don't rush to go out." Lu Chuan said, "The invincible mode is canceled, and the territory may be attacked at any time. I will wait for the mobs to take the initiative to deliver to the door."
Yun Ling, "…"
A sneak attack by a monster is obviously a very dangerous thing. In his mouth, how could it be a small monster delivered to the door as a gift
"What about you? Are you going out?" Lu Chuan asked back.
"I haven't decided yet." Yun Ling replied.
In fact, I have a vague hunch that it is not good to go out on a rainy day. But she wondered what the impact would be.
After thinking about it, Yun Ling finally made up his mind, "I'll go out for a walk when the rain stops."
**
It's still raining.
In order to make a living, some players had to go out in the rain.
Yun Ling brewed a cup of coffee and looked at the rain curtain and thought quietly.
Not far away, life players are working as usual. For knitting shoes, those who make wooden spears make wooden spears, and those who make bamboo shields make bamboo shields. There are also people who are holding rattan shoes, and they don't know where they learned the craft.
Some people secretly looked at the making of bamboo shields, but unfortunately the process is more complicated, and it took a long time to learn it.
There were also people who had a flash of inspiration and bought materials from players and tried to make bamboo spears.
Not to mention, after pondering for a long time, stumbling and trying, he really made it happen!
【Congratulations on making your own equipment. 】
【You have unlocked the life skill 'Bamboo Craft'. 】
【Name: Bamboo Spear】
Quality: ordinary
Durability: 15/15
Wear effect: Strength +1.
I have a talent for production
The player who made the bamboo spear was dizzy, and he was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, another thought emerged - even if you don't hunt in the future, there is still a way to support yourself.
Or hunting during the day, gathering during the rest time, and crafting at night. Before long, he will be able to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law and become a winner in life.
Thinking of his pride, he couldn't help showing a smirk.
Just after 8:50, a three-person hunting team fled to Lingyun Village, shouting, "Help!!"
Chasing them were black boars.
Lu Chuan was obliged to lend a helping hand.
Arrow salvo. Archer NPCs take the initiative to attack in order to eliminate potential security risks in the territory.
Two minutes later, five black wild boars died.
Lu Chuan and Archer A went out to pick up the dropped items, and then returned quickly.
"Long-range players can hunt even if they stay in the territory!!" The shooter player woke up from a dream.
Unfortunately, the prey has been snatched away.
"What's wrong?" Yun Ling couldn't help asking when he saw that the hunting team was in a state of embarrassment.
The three of them ran hard and finally escaped back to the territory. At this time, they were out of breath, "Outside, it's not for anyone!"
"The rain is particularly heavy, not only affecting vision, but also hearing. The monsters are all around, but we didn't notice it."
"After a while of rain, the system prompts that the player is infected with a negative state, agility -1. After a while, agility -2, physical strength -1."
"The worst part is that wearing the equipment on rainy days actually accelerates the wear and tear, and the durability drops! Going out for half an hour, I didn't say anything about the gains, and the equipment was depreciated greatly, and the loss was huge!"
The three of you say a word to me, and compete to spit bitterness.
Hearing this, the territory was dead silent, and the residents were stunned.
Hunting is inherently dangerous, and both vision and hearing are affected, so it is more likely to be attacked.
The rain will contaminate the negative state, which means that one's own state will decline.
Equipment damage is even more distressing. I used to be frugal and saved money to buy equipment. After a few trips in the wind and rain, the equipment was gone. This is too…
But you can't go out!
In case it rains for half a month in one breath, what will they eat? Where do you live
The more you think about it, the more worried the residents are.
However, Yun Ling suddenly remembered something and opened his backpack to check.
【Name: hat (rain gear)】
Quality: ordinary
Required materials: bamboo leaves*20, silk thread*5.
Wearing effect: Stamina +1.
Note: You can only learn if you have primary bamboo skills.
【Name: Minoyi (rain gear)】
Quality: ordinary
Required materials: fenugreek*50, silk thread*5.
Wearing effect: Stamina +2.
Note: You can only learn if you have primary grass art.
Yun Ling, "…"
So some equipment does not increase the attributes obviously, but it actually has the special effect of shielding the rain
So here comes the question. There are no bamboo workshops or thatched cottages in the territory. Who should I give the drawings to
Yun Ling pondered for a moment and called Mage B.
【Name: Master B】
Level: 2
Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 4, Stamina 7, Intelligence 8, Spirit 8.
Combat skills: B-level meteor shower, C-level fireball.
Life Skills: Beginner Bamboo Art.
At first, she was hired because of the B-level fire group attack skills, but now, it seems that you can try to make NPCs like players without exclusive buildings.
Thinking like this, Yun Ling handed over the "Dou hat" blueprint to Master B.
Mage B took it and used it immediately.
Yun Ling was curious, "Can you make bamboo hats?"
Mage B nodded, "You can do it if you have tools and materials."
After thinking about it, Yun Ling led Master B to Yang Yong, "Do you have bamboo leaves?"
Yang Yong was stunned, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"I'll buy it from you." Yun Ling said, "I want to borrow some other tools."
Seeing Yang Yong stunned, she added, "You can also borrow it for a fee."
"You don't need to give money." Yang Yong came back to his senses and said indifferently, "Just use tools, as for bamboo leaves..."
He got stuck because he didn't know how to price it.
It took a long time to say, "Bamboo leaves are not valuable things, just take them when you need them."
"Also," Yun Ling said, "I will send you a finished product."
On rainy days, rain gear is much better than money.
"Okay." Yang Yong didn't know what the other party was going to do, so he responded casually, and then took out the tools and bamboo leaves.
Yun Ling handed out the silk thread at the right time.
Master B consciously stepped forward, picked up bamboo leaves, silk threads, and tools, and began to work.
Yang Yong watched for a while, then reacted, "Dou hat?"
"Yes." Yun Ling admitted.
Yang Yong rubbed his chin, "It's really convenient to wear a hat on a rainy day..."
He knows how to craft, but he was worried about it just now and didn't remember it for a while.
"Can you do it?" Yun Ling was curious.
"I haven't done it for a long time, I don't know if the hand is born or not." After saying that, Yang Yong picked up the tool and followed it.
During the period, silk thread was needed, but after searching for a long time, Yun Ling silently handed out five balls, "You're welcome."
One party provides silk thread, and the other party provides bamboo leaves and tools. This is called win-win cooperation.
Yang Yong was not polite, just took it and used it.
Two hours passed, and the hat was finished.
【Congratulations on making your homemade equipment "Dou hat". 】
【Congratulations for getting 10 experience points. 】
【Name: hat (rain gear)】
Quality: ordinary
Durability: 20/20
Wearing effect: Stamina +1.
Yang Yong was overjoyed with the newly made equipment, and he checked it over and over, quite fond of it.
At the same time, Mage B was very unskilled, and only half of the hat was completed.
Seeing the hat, some players came over to ask, "Hello, is this hat for sale?"
Yang Yong couldn't help looking at Yun Ling.
Yun Ling replied with a mouth shape, "You make it up, you decide."
"Sell!" Yang Yong did not hesitate.
After some bargaining, the final price was 60 copper coins.
After the sale, Yang Yong wanted to transfer 10 of them to Yunling.
"No." Yun Ling shook his head and declined, "We used your bamboo leaves and tools."
"Then it's better to replace the silk thread with the bamboo leaves." Yang Yongdao, "After the bamboo hat is made up, you don't need to give it to me."
Although he provided bamboo leaves and tools, the other party only provided silk thread. It seemed that the other party took advantage of it, but the account was not calculated like this. Bamboo leaves can be seen everywhere, and you can get them by collecting them. Silk threads can only be dropped by killing monsters.
Without the silk thread given by Yunling, even if he had the skill of weaving bamboo hats, he would not be able to do this business.
"Okay." Yun Ling agreed.
**
The rain was pouring down, and the sky never cleared up.
Players kept running back like they were running for their lives, crying about how dangerous it was outside the village.
Even the strong team that prided itself on the strength of force and did not take rainy days in the eye was defeated.
The equipment worn by the team members was severely worn due to being in the rain for too long. In hindsight, the loss was so great that all members felt suffocated.
The lucky ones are a pair of siblings. If you go out in the rain, take off your equipment before you set off, and go directly to your normal clothes.
Whether going out or coming back, there was no monster on the way. So while others were trapped in the territory, they were safe, unharmed, and dug up some sweet potatoes.
Although he was wet with rain and his negative state was serious, but sitting by a stone bonfire to bake a fire, drying his clothes by the way, and eating a fragrant roasted sweet potato, the negative state quickly faded.
"Do you sell sweet potatoes?" Someone smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and couldn't help but lean over to talk.
My sister shook her head into a rattle, "Not for sale."
The rain doesn't know when the rain will fall. The siblings don't have a lot of food, so they point to the newly dug sweet potatoes to live, and of course they don't sell anything.
"Okay." The man left angrily, full of worries in his heart - when will the rain stop
Yun Ling had nothing to do, so he went back to the house and made a few cotton backpacks.
She plans to wait until she can go out and let the NPCs all wear cotton backpacks. To avoid going out not long after, the backpack is full, and I have to run back.
It rained heavily for a whole day, and it didn't stop until the sky darkened.
People who have insufficient food reserves simply eat two meals a day. However, even so, the remaining food could not last a few days.
Even more unlucky are players who don't have the money to pay overnight bills.
At this moment, they deeply hate themselves, why did they use the money to buy equipment before? Wouldn't it be better to buy full residency first
Temporary residents are required to pay 5 copper coins per day as an overnight fee.
Official residents, pay 100 copper coins at a time, and then only need to run around for rations, and no longer need to pay for accommodation on a daily basis.
Usually you can't see the difference, just like temporary residents and regular residents. When the money is urgently needed and there is no money in hand, the player will deeply realize that there is a difference between temporary residents and formal residents.
When it arrives at 6:00 p.m., if you can't hand over 5 copper coins, no matter who you are or why, the system will throw people out of the territory.
For a time, the temporary residents with little savings were all in danger.
Sell equipment to sell equipment, sell skill cards to sell skill cards. It's really not possible, even gritted teeth can take out the food and sell it. Either way, make sure you get the money!
"Mage skills are sold cheaply. Anyone who is interested will come and have a look."
"Blue decoration drawings, only basic woodwork, don't miss it when you pass by!"
"Ten packs of instant noodles, jump off the building, only 5 copper coins! First come, first served, you must act fast!"
"Priest B-level group milk skills, only 200 copper coins."
…
Players set up stalls on the spot, shouting constantly.
Yun Ling looked at it as he walked, and when he found the right skills, blueprints, and recipes, he bought them and threw them to NPCs to learn.

Sunset Village.
A tent in the corner had a gap at the top. The raindrops floated into the tent through the gap, directly moistening the bedding.
There were two people sitting inside, one called Shi Jian Shan and the other Lao Liang. The two looked ugly and remained silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Lao Liang said angrily, "I've had enough. I'd rather go out to explore and be bitten to death by monsters than stay in the team!"
He didn't leave before because he didn't have skills and equipment, and he didn't want to joke about his life.
Although he was squeezed by the team when he stayed, he still had two steamed buns every day and could stay in the territory to sleep at night.
now what? Because they don't resist, the team is getting more and more excessive!
Not to mention the size of the steamed buns provided, there are more and more tasks to be done every day.
It was raining heavily tonight, and the captain left the only tent with a gap for them to live in, which shows that they were not treated as human beings at all!
When Lao Liang thought about it, he was so angry that he could not wait to leave overnight.
A trace of madness flashed in Shi Jianshan's eyes, "Don't complain with your bare mouth. Just leave, dare you?"
"What dare you not!" Lao Liang gritted his teeth, "If we stay here any longer, neither of us will survive!"
He could see clearly that the rest of the regiment treated them as animals at all. If you can work, you can feed two bites. If you can't work, you will abandon it mercilessly, and raise an obedient one again.
To put it bluntly, if you go out and give it a try, there is a chance of survival. To stay is to sit and wait to die.
"Then let's go now." Shi Jianshan said quickly, "Everyone else has fallen asleep, let's go quickly, we don't know it."
"Where did you leave? What should I do if I encounter danger on the road? How will I live in the future?" Lao Liang asked one after another.
Although he is determined to die, if he can live, he does not want to die casually.
"Go to Lingyun Village! S City is the most prosperous territory and has the most unlocked buildings!" Shi Jianshan said calmly, "I have inquired, Lingyun Village is not far from Sunset Village, and it can be reached by walking for more than an hour."
"Run when you encounter mobs on the way, and collect resources when you encounter them."
"It is said that in Lingyun Village, even a life player can support himself. As long as you work hard and work hard, you won't have to worry about food."
Lao Liang hesitated for a while, but finally hesitantly said, "Let's go! I won't stay in this broken place!"
A consensus was reached, and the two quietly left the village in the dark of night.
After leaving Sunset Village, Shi Jianshan did not hurry, but instead ran to the willow tree and digged wildly.
Five minutes later, he dug up a square wooden box, which contained a white dagger, a stiff steamed bun, half a bottle of mineral water, and an army green men's shoulder bag.
Lao Liang was stunned, "So you were already preparing?"
"Of course!" After speaking, Shi Jianshan pulled Lao Liang up, identified the direction, and ran wildly.
**
The night is deep.
Except for the patrol team loyal to their duties, everyone else has fallen asleep.
Old Li of the patrol team was wearing a raincoat and complained dissatisfiedly, "Why is it raining endlessly? When will it stop?"
"Who knows?" The teammate beckoned and motioned for Lao Li to follow.
This is a self-built camp, which does not have functional buildings like the system camp. The task of the patrol team is to patrol the camp to ensure that no monsters break in at night.
It's raining today, so there shouldn't be a sneak attack by monsters, but I still have to check it again.
There are many tents, with fences erected at the outermost edge, which were built by the camp leader Qian Zhihui personally led the residents.
Lao Li yawned, and just wanted to say that since it's all right, let's hide and be lazy, don't be so serious. Immediately afterwards, I saw my teammates widen their eyes, with a trace of panic on their faces, "Listen, what is this sound?"
Lao Li was stunned. He heard nothing but the sound of rain.
He was about to talk about the big night, don't be kidding, but saw a group of rhinos rushing towards the camp from far and near.
Old Li's expression froze. The next second, he shouted loudly, "Enemy attack—"
**
s City, Peach Blossom Camp.
The rain was pouring, the thunder was deafening, and the residents were sleeping soundly in their tents.
Suddenly, the system prompted, [Thunderbirds raided the Peach Blossom Camp. 】
[All system guards died. 】
[Players please evacuate as soon as possible. 】
The drowsiness was thick, and the screams and screams sounded one after another, and the scene suddenly became a mess...
**
Either due to personal reasons or unexpected situations, some players had to migrate overnight to other territories.
For some, it was a particularly difficult night.
Day 13.
Early in the morning, as soon as Yun Ling opened his eyes, he received a system prompt, [Peach Blossom Camp was breached. 】
[The Longevity Camp was breached. 】
[The Tielan camp was breached. 】
…
Almost instantly, Yun Ling reacted, "Because of the lack of people, or because of the wrong choice of buildings, the camp did not develop at all and was directly destroyed."
During the public beta, a similar situation did not occur.
It is obvious that the carpentry workshop, tailor shop, restaurant, and blacksmith shop can be fully developed in all directions, but the system unlocks buildings with similar functions such as carpentry workshop, bamboo workshop, and thatched cottage.
Obviously, the level of the village can unlock the "shield", but the system unlocks the defensive building "fence".
What's more, not a single defensive building is unlocked. Resolutely develop functional buildings, and territorial defense relies entirely on system guards.
The system calls it "territorial features", and players call it "devil configuration".
Generally speaking, within a month, too devil's territory will be breached. The surviving territorial buildings are not the same, but most of them have basic configurations such as "protective cover", "mission hall", and "restaurant".
"It seems that history is going to repeat itself." Yun Ling turned off the prompt and started a new day of life.
**
When I walked out of the hut, I saw that the weather was gloomy. There was a drizzle in the air, but it did not affect travel.
"Selling bucket hats! Easy-to-use bucket hats! It can block the wind and the rain!" Early in the morning, Yang Yong set up a stall to sell.
Hearing that a bamboo hat can block the rain, several people gathered around, "How much is it? How is the effect of blocking the rain?"
"This is a craft handed down by our ancestors! In ancient times, people wore bamboo hats to walk through the rain." Yang Yong explained seriously.
Players are excited to hear it. Bargaining for a while, and try-on, the booth was very lively.
Yun Ling called Master B, "How many hats have you made?"
Master B blushed, "I'm slow, I only made three."
Yun Ling thought about it, only picking two NPCs to go out with her would be enough.
After pondering for a moment, she opened the panel to check the recent visiting NPCs.
There are three in total.
A level 3 shooter, a level 2 assassin, a life professional.
Level: 3
Attributes: Strength 9, Agility 7, Stamina 9, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5.
Combat skills: none
Life skills: intermediate sewing, primary grass art.
Craftable items: Bandages, Quiver, Belt, Bracers, Assassin's Facecloth, Linen Backpack, Cotton Backpack, Straw Sandals, Straw Hat, Seat Cushion.
Hire Price: 700 Bronze.
Yun Ling's eyes lit up when he saw the last NPC.
There is a primary grass art, which means that you can learn to weave scorpion.
When spring is over, you can make bandages, quivers, belts, bracers, and assassin's veils instead of weaving shrouds.
Thinking of this, Yun Ling decided to hire him and named him "Tailor B".
"My lord." As soon as Tailor B appeared, he was stuffed with a drawing of the "Minion Clothes".
"Learn it." Yun Ling ordered.
"Yes." Tailor Yi Wen responded.
"There are minnows and silk threads in the warehouse. Just stay at the tailor's shop and make minnows with peace of mind." Yunling said again.
"Okay." Tailor B did not respond to any Yun Ling's orders.
Minoyi and bamboo hats were all made, and Yunling was very satisfied.
In her opinion, spring has just begun and will not end in a short time. The more rain gear, the better, so be prepared.
After breakfast, seeing that the drizzle was still hazy outside the territory, Yun Ling called on Guard B and Assassin A, planning to take them out to collect bamboo leaves and hydrangeas.
The three simply packed up, put on six white suits each, and prepared to set off.
Yun Ling was carrying a backpack and thought to herself, in case someone doesn't have eyesight and makes a sneak attack, she will take out a purple outfit from her backpack and put it on to give him a "surprise"!
**
Players are worried that it will continue to rain heavily in the future, so take advantage of the current light rain and seize the time to go out.
Zhang Hongbo sees clearly that most people do not have rain gear, so they will definitely get caught in the rain when they go out. He couldn't help but sighed, "If anyone has stockpiled rain gear in advance, it is estimated that they will be rich by now."
Rain gear
The old man was stunned for a moment, "I can make a cloak, which is equivalent to a poncho when I wear it."
Zhang Hongbo, "???"
He looked at his grandfather in shock, "Did you pick up the blueprint?"
Old Man Zhang wondered, "What drawings?"
Zhang Hongbo explained, "With primary grass art, you have to get blueprints to learn first, and then you can make corresponding equipment."
"Hey! Craftsman, what kind of drawings do you want!" The old man Zhang disagreed, "Do you need drawings when I make straw sandals?"
Zhang Hongbo was speechless.
The old man said again, "If the mink clothes are easy to sell, and the straw sandals are not easy to sell for the time being, then we can adapt the mink clothes. You go out and get me some mink grass and some silk threads. If you don't have silk threads, just find some tough ones. Grass."
"Okay." Zhang Hongbo put on the bamboo hat and slowly left Lingyun Village.
Walking on the road, he was completely dumbfounded. There is only one thought in my mind: How can Grandpa be so powerful, he can make up everything
