evening.

Men play cards around the bonfire, women gather together to weave and chat, and old people tell stories to children. There is a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere in the air.

When Shi Jianshan took Liang Hui, they went through untold hardships and finally reached Lingyun Village.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to approach, the system suddenly sounded a prompt, "You have found "Lingyun Village". 】

[Will you spend 5 copper coins to become a temporary resident of the territory? (24 hours)】

[Will you spend 100 copper coins to become an official resident of the territory? (permanent)】

When Jianshan has no money, how can he have the money to pay the overnight fee

Gritting his teeth, he raised his voice sharply, "Equipment is cheap! White quality dagger, durability 14/20, only 30 copper coins! Come and buy what you want!"

"Eh-" Liang Hui pulled the sleeves of the mountain, but he hesitated.

Although Shi Jianshan said that the dagger was picked up, it is a net profit if you sell it for money. But they were able to walk to Lingyun Village alive, thanks to that dagger. Selling the equipment now, I have raised the overnight fee for tonight, what should I do in the future

"Either part ways from now on, or just listen to me." Shi Jianshan lowered his voice and spoke quickly, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Liang Hui opened his mouth, but finally said nothing, and let go of his hand.

What can he say

Shi Jianshan has more ideas than him.

If the other party hadn't been fully prepared, the two would have died.

Thinking of this, Liang Hui closed his mouth and quietly became a sculpture.

"You want to sell daggers?" A thin black man came over.

"Yes." Shi Jianshan nodded, "One price, 30 copper coins."

The black and thin man saw that the two were in a state of panic and their whereabouts were embarrassed. , help you."

Liang Hui gritted his teeth and tried his best to restrain himself, so that he did not conflict with the opponent on the spot.

Why isn't a white-quality weapon worth 30 copper coins? They are short of money, so they will sell cheaply! Usually there is no such low price in the market.

He knew very well that the other party guessed that they were short of money, so they deliberately lowered the price and wanted to take more advantage.

In the end, it's taking advantage of people's dangers!

Liang Hui's eyes were red, his expression resentful.

"How is it?" The black and thin man put on an indifferent attitude, "If you miss me, you may not be able to find the next one who is willing to take over."

Shi Jianshan lowered his eyes and pondered, and seriously considered the feasibility of 15 copper coins.

"30 copper coins, right? I bought them." Before the two of them could reach an agreement, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.

The black and thin man was furious, "Who? Do you understand first come first serve!"

Yun Ling sneered, "You only want 15 copper coins. I don't think you really want to buy it. Let Rang, don't stop me from paying."

Seeing that several purple lights flickered on the person who came, the black and thin man stopped for a while, and then walked away angrily.

"Here, 30 copper coins." Yun Ling delivered as much as he could.

Shi Jianshan was slightly startled, and his voice was dry, "...You don't need white-quality equipment, and you don't need to buy it at the original price."

"It's raining recently, so it's inconvenient to wear purple clothes." Yun Ling said casually, "30 copper coins to buy a dagger, the price is very cheap, I won't suffer."

Being challenged by the original team in every possible way, Shi Jianshan gritted his teeth and never shed any tears. At this moment, I received a rare kindness, but my nose was slightly sore, "Thank you."

"Thank you for what? I took advantage."

After the goods were finished, Yun Ling waved his hand indifferently, and then left gracefully.

"Fuck! Fuck! She's wearing several purple outfits!" After the others left, Liang Hui repeated over and over again, "The former head of the spicy chicken was embarrassed when he had two purple outfits, and now he's one with others. Than, it's just scum!"

"Keep your mouth shut and prepare to enter the territory." Shi Jianshan warned in a deep voice.

Copper coins -10, the two finally entered the village.

"What are you going to do?" Liang Hui asked.

"Go for a walk first." Shi Jianshan didn't elaborate.

Liang Hui had to leave him alone.

Wandering around in Lingyun Village, Liang Hui's mouth was slightly open, and he could hardly close it, "Damn it! Why are there so many people in the territory? I count... There must be three or four hundred, right??"

"Fuck! Why are there so many buildings? Mission halls, wood workshops, tailor shops, warehouses, restaurants... There are even wooden houses?!"

"Fuck! Players here will make their own equipment! A pair of brand new straw sandals sells for 20 copper coins... From this point of view, white quality equipment is really worthless."

Liang Hui became more and more frightened the more he walked, and he didn't know how to express the shock in his heart, so he could only keep repeating "Fuck" to show his amazement.

"You can't say that." Shi Jianshan's eyes wandered and he whispered, "Straw sandals are easy to weave, and there are many substitutes. Forging daggers requires a blacksmith shop, which is not available in the village. It is also white quality equipment, and the supply and demand are different, and the price is also different. ."

Liang Hui, "…"

Liang Hui: "Politics is good."

Shi Jian Shan glanced at his companion and said nothing.

Liang Hui touched his nose, knowing that his appearance just now was a bit embarrassing. He was extremely helpless, "I don't want to act like I just came out of the mountains... Isn't that surprising?"

It is also a village, and Sunset Village is more than a little bit worse than Lingyun Village. To exaggerate, there is no comparison between one in the sky and one in the ground.

"You were surprised for a long time, but you didn't realize that it was raining outside, but it was dry inside the village?" Shi Jianshan was quite speechless.

Liang Hui, "???"

Liang Hui, "!!!"

He raised his head, only to realize that there was another drizzle in the air. The protective cover above the territory completely blocked the rain.

"God!" This time Liang Hui finally changed his exclamation.

Shi Jian Shan Xin said that if it wasn't for his lack of strength, he would have left this person alone and acted alone.

Touching the large stack of waterproof tung oil lint tissue paper hidden in his chest, Shi Jianshan felt a little at ease. When it rains, he needs to use an umbrella. Bamboo frames and lint paper can be used to make oil-paper umbrellas. This is his biggest reliance on leaving the team.

**

Day 14.

Rarely is a sunny day.

In order to prevent sudden changes in the weather and the urgent shortage of rain gear, Yun Ling ordered Master B to stay in the territory and continue to weave hats.

On the other hand, she brought her bamboo hats and shrouds in stock, and planned to go out with the guards and others.

Because I was trapped in the rain, I cherish every minute and every second of free activities.

Before 8 o'clock, players are gearing up and can't wait to go out.

"When I rushed to Lingyun Village yesterday, I met a boss on the way." Shi Jianshan stood up and said loudly, "Is there a team that wants to fight a boss? It only takes 20 copper coins for intelligence fees, and I will show you the way."

boss!

The players pricked up their ears and looked sideways.

One asked, "Where? How far away? How many minutes' walking distance?"

Shi Jianshan answered after calculating, "It's not too close, not too far. It takes about 30 minutes to walk normally."

"Who knows if it's true or not?" The other person was dubious. "If you're deceived, where do you go to reason?"

"If I told a lie, would you let me go?" Shi Jianshan said seriously, "I don't need to risk my life to earn a mere 20 copper coins."

"I bought the news." Yun Ling spoke first.

She looked at Shi Jianshan and said seriously, "Hurry up and admit it is a scam. If you go there and find that there is no boss, I will make it difficult for you to stay in Lingyun Village."

As a lord, there are always some privileges. For example, permanently block a player and prohibit him from entering the territory.

Seeing that it was the customer who bought the dagger last night, with a trustworthy character, Shi Jianshan breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't lie, what I said is true."

"That's good." Yun Ling said.

**

At 8 o'clock, players flocked out, each busy.

Before going out, several life players greeted Xiaoying, "Pay attention to safety."

"Remember to bring back the materials we need."

"Don't forget it."

"I can't forget it." Xiaoying said solemnly, "I remember wheat straw, flour, wild vegetables, and bamboo leaves!"

In the past, all the materials that life players needed were picked by themselves.

Xiaoying smelled a business opportunity and took the initiative to find a life player, asking if she would like to help her collect.

In this way, the division of labor between collection and weaving becomes more clear.

Life players don't need to go out to take risks and have more time to weave; Xiaoying relies on helping to collect materials to obtain stable income.

Both sides benefit from each other, and no one is relieved.

Hearing her proposal, someone laughed at Xiaoying's whimsical thoughts, crazy about money. Some people think that this is really safe and easy, and they are willing to spend money.

Xiaoying estimated her walking distance and handling ability, and took up four jobs in total. Later, when someone called her for help, they all refused on the grounds that they were "too busy".

With the newly bought second-hand backpack on her back, Xiaoying set off happily.

**

At the same time, after paying 20 copper coins, Yunling asked, "Where is the boss?"

"Follow me." Shi Jianshan led the way.

After walking for five minutes, I happened to meet two demons.

When Shi Jianshan was about to say "Get out of the way", he saw the melee personnel rushing forward.

Swing stick, dagger horizontally, and arrows fly. But in the blink of an eye, two demons died.

Yun Ling picked up the drop, "Continue."

When I saw the mountain, I was secretly startled. Whether it's coordination, equipment quality, or the number of skills, a team is far superior to the team he was in before. If you can join…

As soon as the thought came up, Shi Jianshan shook his head vigorously.

No, he has suffered a loss, and he will never join any team in the future!

If you have the ability, you can eat meat in the wind and scenery. I don't have the ability, I just live by digging wild vegetables, in short, I don't look at people's faces.

After making up his mind, Shi Jianshan strode away towards his destination.

After walking for 25 minutes, the group passed through the purple bamboo forest and came to an oak forest.

Yun Ling frowned, "I've been here before, but I haven't seen a boss."

Shi Jianshan calmly said, "Because it is sleeping, it only comes out at night to play."

Saying that, he picked up a stone and threw it in the distance.

"Crack!" The stone was in the middle of the largest and thickest oak tree in the forest.

Soon, the stone bounces off, and nothing happens.

Shi Jianshan looked helpless, "You may need to come over at night."

Yun Ling pondered for a moment, "You mean, found the oak tree boss?"

"Yes." Shi Jianshan admitted, "Last night I was on the road with my friends, and I happened to see an oak tree standing up with a name on its head."

"The two of us were startled, turned our heads and ran. Fortunately, it was slow, or it would have caught up sooner."

If it is an oak tree boss, it is entirely possible that the whereabouts of the other party cannot be found.

After thinking for a while, Yun Ling motioned to Mage A, "Attack with fire."

Trees are afraid of fire. If what the other party said is true and is hit by fire spells, the boss should wake up.

Mage A nodded slightly, and released his skills according to the words, "Fireball."

When the fireball hit the oak tree, a roar suddenly sounded in the forest.

The next second, Oak stood up. The branches turned into limbs, and an old human face appeared on the trunk.

Shi Jianshan stepped back without a trace, as if he wanted to stay away from the battlefield.

Yun Ling did not stop him, took out the props, and started to prepare.

【Name: Venom】

Quality: excellent

Effect: Apply to melee weapons, increase 5 points of poison attack each time, lasts for half an hour. (2/3)

【Name: Rice Cake】

Quality: ordinary

Use effect: Basic recovery speed + 2 HP/min (lasts 1 hour)

Venom smears the orange dagger for extra damage.

The rice cake is in the stomach, and the basic recovery speed is accelerated.

Everything was ready, and the oak tree boss just roared and rushed over.

"Oak tree boss has 4 skills." Yun Ling said loudly.

"The single-control skill 'Crash' can make the target freeze."

"The group attack skill 'Slap', the branches will attack suddenly."

"Passive skill 'self-healing', restores 10% HP, cooldown 2 minutes."

"The passive skill 'camouflage' looks like a normal oak tree when it is dormant."

In general, this is a boss with rough skin and strong recovery ability.

Fortunately it doesn't rain today.

As soon as the thought came to him, Yun Ling glanced at the six pieces of equipment he was wearing—

[Name: Soft Armor (Enchanted)]

Quality: Rare

Durability: 69/70

Wear effect: Stamina +10

Special effect: Damage received -20%.

Enchanting effect: Stamina +5.

【Name: Fish Scale Shield】

Quality: Rare

Durability: 69/70

Wear effect: Stamina +10

Special effect: Damage received -20%.

[Name: Tooth of the Poison Dragon (Dagger)]

Quality: Legendary

Durability: 97/100

Wear effect: Strength +20

Special effect: Attacks have a 30% chance to deal additional poison damage.

【Name: Ring of Strength】

Quality: Rare

Durability: 68/70

Wear effect: Strength +10.

Special effect: Attack power +20%.

【Name: Bull Ring】

Quality: Rare

Durability: 67/70

Wear effect: Strength +12.

Special effect: Stamina +3.

【Name: cotton shoes】

Quality: excellent

Durability: 34/40

Wearing effect: Agility +4.

The configuration of 1 orange, 4 purple and 1 blue looks particularly bright and dazzling.

In fact, Yun Ling's strength is super strong, and he is not much better than the boss. Plus with the help of NPCs, it's only a matter of time before you win.

Thinking like this, she concentrated on defense, occasionally counterattacked, and handed over the heavy responsibility of output to NPCs.

"His-" aside, Shi Jianshan sucked in a breath of cold air, and his heart was extremely shocked.

It's not that he hasn't seen players fight bosses. , the battle has always been fierce, and the process has always been difficult and dangerous. How can it be like the team in front of you, pressing the boss from start to finish

The boss has the ability to restore blood, and it is reasonable to say that it will be very difficult to deal with. When an ordinary team encounters it, it will definitely cause a headache because the boss returns blood faster than blood loss.

And the blood of the oak tree boss in front of him can only make Shi Jianshan think of one word - dying.

This is clearly a gap in strength. One party's strength is far superior to the other, and it will cause crushing.

After thinking about it several times, the boss was scarred and seemed to be dying.

When it was too late, Yun Ling stabbed the dagger into the tree trunk and ended the battle neatly.

When the boss dies, the item falls to the ground.

Copper coins*145, wood*17, dead branches*13, purple staff, purple quiver, blue longbow, blue rattan armor, white boots, white ring, purple skill card*1, blue skill card*1.

It's not much, but the quality is really good.

Yunling handed the purple staff to Mage A; took the purple quiver back and planned to give it to Archer B; filled the inventory with white equipment, and let the accompanying NPCs replace it with blue equipment immediately.

The only pity is that no enchanted crystals are dropped. Otherwise, the equipment worn on the body can also have multiple enchanting effects.

Three purple items, it's time to be content.

Yun Ling sighed and checked the skill card.

【Name: Self-healing】

Quality: Class A

Skill effect: Recover 20 HP at one time, cooldown 2 minutes.

[Name: Camouflage (Passive Skill)]

Quality: b class

Skill effect: Cover your whereabouts so that the enemy can't detect it.

Yunling handed the "self-healing" skill card to the guard armor, and the "camouflage" skill card to the assassin armor, and the distribution of loot finally came to an end.

On the way back, Shi Jianshan asked, "I want to go to the Purple Bamboo Forest to get some materials, can you wait for me for a while?"

After defeating the boss, the harvest was quite good, Yun Ling was in a good mood, "I'm going to the bamboo forest to collect supplies, let's go together."

Hearing this, Shi Jianshan was relieved in his heart.

**

Back in Lingyun Village, Yun Ling was surprised to find that there were many new faces in the village.

Look again-

【Inhabitable population: 1000】

[Existing residents: 423 (96 regular residents, 327 temporary residents)]

The population of the territory's residents has increased rapidly, and even the official residents are much more than before.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go first." Shi Jianshan chopped a lot of bamboo strips in the purple bamboo forest. At this moment, it was fixed with vines and tied to his back. It was quite difficult to walk.

"Next time you find the boss's trace, you can come and tell me." Yun Ling said.

"Okay." Shi Jian Shan should go down.

The two added friends, then said goodbye and separated.

Shi Jianshan faltered, one step at a time.

When Liang Hui saw it, he immediately trotted over to help him, "You're back? Are things going well?"

Shi Jianshan unloaded the material, relieved, "It's easier than expected."

Probably because I met good people.

He rubbed his shoulders and asked Liang Hui, "Is your business done?"

"How can I not care about what you explained?" Liang Hui said while taking out a knife, a small saw, a chisel and other tools from his pocket.

"Okay." Shi Jianshan nodded, "You can look at your luggage here, I'll come when I go."

"Hey! What do you want?" Liang Hui shouted loudly.

It's a pity that the mountains are in a hurry, and I don't look back.

Liang Hui held his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, "What the hell is he trying to do? Why didn't he say it clearly..."

Shi Jianshan walked to a small stall and squatted down, "Choose 3 items for 10 copper coins, right?"

The stall owner nodded, "Yes, the rules are like this."

Shi Jianshan immediately took out 10 copper coins and bought three rolls of lint paper.

"Other things are also good, do you want to look at it again?" Seeing that he didn't hesitate to take out the copper coins, the stall owner greeted him with great enthusiasm.

"No." After speaking, Shi Jianshan turned around and went to another booth - the lint paper he just bought had not been brushed with tung oil, and the waterproof effect was average, so he had to buy tung oil for the rest of the money.

Speaking of which, Lingyun Village is really a magical place. There are all kinds of goods and everything. I don't know where the players come from...

I bought a small barrel of tung oil, and Shi Jianshan went back with lint paper.

"What's this for?" Liang Hui was taken aback when he saw the big package.

"Don't talk nonsense! Come and help." Shi Jianshan urged.

One of the two pulled the lint paper and the other brushed the oil. It took the boss's efforts to apply oil to all the lint paper.

"Hey," Liang Hui slumped on the ground, threatening with a black face, "Speak clearly, or I'll strike and quit!"

Shi Jianshan sat down to rest, glanced at Liang Hui, and finally said, "It's not spring, it often rains? I'm going to make a bamboo umbrella."

Rain gear sales are always the best in the rainy season.

Liang Hui was startled, "These things..."

"It's all umbrella materials." Shi Jianshan replied.

Originally, he had already obtained a batch of lint paper, but when visiting Lingyun Village, he accidentally saw that tung oil and lint paper were sold separately.

He thought that when the bamboo umbrella was made and sold, the material would have risen and the price would have increased accordingly. Anyway, I still have some spare money in my hand, so it is better to buy the materials as soon as possible.

Although it takes a lot of risk to do this, once you do it, you can make a fortune immediately!

When Jianshan thought about his own bad life, he would definitely not be able to compare to other players in terms of ferocity and force.

But his brain is fast, and he just knows how to make umbrellas. God gave the opportunity, it is impossible not to seize it.

As long as this deal is done, there will be more money to be done in the future.

Because of this, Shi Jianshan is busy everywhere to prepare.

Liang Hui hesitated, "But it's not raining today..."

Who did you sell the umbrella to

Shi Jianshan disagreed, "It's rainy in the spring, and it's hard to say when it will rain again. At that time, you'll either be trapped in the territory or buy an umbrella to go out."

Liang Hui, "…"

I think you think too much.

"It's so mysterious, I thought I had a good idea." Liang Hui felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, "If you want to be an umbrella, just say no? Why cover up?"

Seeing the mountain without saying a word.

This is the idea he finally came up with, and it is the only chance to turn around at the moment, and no mistakes are allowed!

Tell Liang Hui early, what if he doesn't speak strictly and says it out? What if he has a different opinion and cooperates with others

It is about the future and life, and we have to guard against it.

"There are materials and tools. In a word, do you want to do it or not?" Shi Jianshan was too lazy to talk about it. "If you don't want to, I'll find someone else."

"Yes, why not? You saved my life, what do you say, what do I listen to." Liang Hui broke the jar, "Isn't it just a bamboo umbrella? Do it."

**

According to Shi Jianshan, his grandfather was a craftsman. When I was a child, I often made bamboo umbrellas and bamboo fans, and I also taught him.

Although the age is old and his memory is vague, he remembers the general steps and it is not difficult to make a finished product.

Liang Hui: It is not difficult to make a finished product, but it is difficult to sell it. If it doesn't rain, who will buy umbrellas from them

Thinking so, he didn't say anything, and honestly attacked Shi Jianshan.

Shi Jianshan said that he remembered that the general steps were obviously not bragging. After trying a few times, the two quickly made the finished product.

【Name: Bamboo Umbrella (Rain Gear)】

Quality: ordinary

Durability: 10/10

Wearing effect: Stamina +1.

"It's a piece of equipment anyway. You said if the price is 10 copper coins, can you sell it?" Liang Hui thought abruptly.

Shi Jianshan put away his umbrella and said lightly, "10 copper coins are not for sale."

Liang Hui, "…"

"Bamboo umbrellas can't be sold. What do we eat? What do we drink? Where do we stay at night?" he asked.

Shi Jianshan replied, "There are potatoes in the bag, you can bake them."

"There is a river near the village. If you are thirsty, you can drink water directly."

"There are still a few copper coins in your pocket, so don't worry about being kicked out of the village. If you really can't, go outside and dig some materials and sell them for money."

When he saw the mountains, he was determined to wait for the rainy day and sell the bamboo umbrellas at a high price. Liang Hui sighed, "Okay, I will listen to you."

Liang Hui is pessimistic and negative, and is not optimistic about the sales of bamboo umbrellas. However, in fact, players with a little spare money in their hands are very willing to buy an umbrella in advance.

"How do you sell this umbrella?" As soon as the bamboo umbrella was ready, someone saw it and asked for the price.

"10..." Liang Hui subconsciously quoted. When I saw it out of the corner of my eyes, Jianshan's face was sullen, and he immediately fainted and stopped making a sound.

"10 copper coins?" Hearing the price, the player's eyes lit up.

Shi Jianshan shook his head, "You heard it wrong."

"On a sunny day, 30 copper coins for an umbrella."

"On a rainy day, 50 copper coins for an umbrella."

"You are planning to kill customers like fat sheep!" The player's eyes widened.

Shi Jianshan said calmly, "There are not enough materials to make a few umbrellas in total. If you want to buy it, remember to go early."

"Who would spend 30 copper coins to buy an umbrella with a maximum durability of 10!" the player said angrily, "15 copper coins is about the same!"

Aside, Liang Hui opened his eyes wide, unable to believe his ears. You know, if it is up to him, 15 copper coins will definitely agree...

"This is rain gear and equipment. There must be a lot of people who want to buy it." Shi Jianshan is neither humble nor arrogant, "It is better to buy on a sunny day than on a rainy day."

"Furthermore, even if it doesn't rain, it's not a loss for you to spend 30 copper coins to buy a piece of equipment that increases physical strength."

"Of course I bought an umbrella to use it in rainy days. If it doesn't rain, why would I buy it?" the player argued.

"A handful of 30 copper coins? You are robbing money!"

"Everyone take a step back, how about 20 copper coins? If you agree, I will pay immediately!"

Liang Hui wanted to persuade Shi Jianshan not to be so stubborn, and agreed to let it go.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jianshan's attitude was firm, and he insisted that he would not let go of 30 copper coins.

If the customer talks too much, he will conversely persuade others to start quickly, or they will not be able to buy it later.

After grinding for more than half an hour, the players were about to talk about it, but there was no progress at all.

He got angry from his heart, and slapped 30 copper coins on the table by throwing money, "Isn't it just 30 copper coins? I bought it!"

After all, he walked away with an umbrella in his arms.

Liang Hui, "…"

Say 30 copper coins, no one will buy an umbrella? Why did you pay for it yourself

Can there be more sincerity and less routine between people
