In the event of a sudden change, the player is like a frightened bird, desperately storing food. The edible plants near Lingyun Village have long been picked.
After walking for ten minutes, I was stunned that I didn't see any ingredients.
Pang Yu was a little uneasy. If they can't find resources, wouldn't they be useless for players with "primary collection"
Before he could think about it, the guard said solemnly, "Enemy attack, prepare to fight."
The player panicked and subconsciously wanted to hide.
Seeing this, Yun Ling shouted sharply, "Stand still!"
There are 6 NPCs in the front and 6 NPCs in the back, just to protect the player. If they walk around at will and flee in different directions, the NPCs will not be able to pay attention.
The player hesitated for a moment, barely suppressed the fear in his heart, and stood still.
At this time, the five tree demons slowly walked towards the team.
Without Yunling speaking, the mage casts attack skills, the archer shoots arrows, and the melee players are restrained. The cooperation is extremely tacit!
Just after a face-to-face, the tree demon was completely wiped out, leaving only a few dropped items floating in the air.
Pick up the armors one by one and put them into the cotton backpack.
Yun Ling calmly said, "Continue."
The players felt a little at ease and followed the big army forward.
After walking for half an hour and fighting five monsters along the way, the group finally found a pepper field. The chili peppers are glowing red, growing gratifyingly, and they look small and cute.
Glancing over, Yun Ling announced, "Stop, pick the peppers facing the sky."
"What about after picking it?" a female player asked boldly.
Yun Ling pointed to the armor, "Give it to him."
The players nodded and moved quickly.
The picking work is all used to doing. At first, because of the nervousness, the movements are unfamiliar, but after the investment, it quickly becomes skilled.
NPCs stand guard nearby, always paying attention to what's going on around them.
Yun Ling observed quietly. After a while, it was clear who was working quickly, who was procrastinating, who was in poor health and who was slow.
Many people pick, and the efficiency is super high. After a few minutes, the peppers are lit.
Yunling stopped and looked into the distance, and it didn't take long for him to choose his next target, "Go, go to the cornfield to pick corn."
In a blink of an eye, it was already 12 noon.
Yun Ling announced, "Have an hour break and have lunch by the way."
Finally able to take a break. Pang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and found an open space next to him to sit down. I was thinking in my heart that copper coins are really hard to earn.
Except when the guards were fighting monsters, they could stand and rest for a while. At other times, they either bowed their heads to pick and dig food, or followed the team forward, and they had no time at all.
While thinking about it, one of them handed over a fist-sized multigrain steamed bun and a heavy bamboo tube, and said, "Eat it, this is lunch."
Pang Yu had not eaten for a day, and the only piece of bread was given to his wife. Seeing the miscellaneous grain steamed buns at this moment, he didn't care about anything else, and immediately took a bite.
The steamed buns are solid, and the ingredients are particularly sufficient. Although the taste is average, it is very full, and the stomach is not hungry immediately after eating.
Pang Yu devoured it, finished the steamed bun in a few mouthfuls, and then opened the bamboo tube.
I thought that the bamboo tube was filled with water, but when I opened it, I found out that it was filled with rice soup.
Rice soup, also called rice oil, is a thick liquid that floats on the surface when porridge is cooked. It has the fragrance of rice, which is very thirst-quenching.
Pang Yu drank a bowl of rice soup in one breath, and suddenly felt a sense of fulfillment in his stomach, and his heart was filled with indescribable satisfaction.
At this time, when I think back to my work in the morning, I don't think there is anything. What is there to be afraid of? What he is most afraid of is starvation!
In the afternoon, it suddenly started to rain.
Yunling did not let the players work in the rain. They found a nearby cave to shelter from the rain and waited until the rain stopped before going out.
Looking at the sky, Yunling ordered, "Pick up bamboo shoots, mushrooms, bamboo leaves, hydrangeas, black rice, buckwheat, sorghum, and oats, and then go back the same way."
It rained for two full hours, during which everyone stayed in the cave to rest and did nothing.
Pang Yu felt a little guilty, the resources collected were not too many, and he was a little sorry for the wages and rations paid by the employer.
Hearing that he was going to pick bamboo shoots, mushrooms and other materials, he was refreshed and planned to work hard to make up for his employer's losses.
**
Just after 5 p.m., the group returned to the territory.
Yun Ling thought to himself, the lunch time was over, and the bamboo tube had been taken back. After the collection is completed, the materials are immediately handed over to the Guard Armor.
Next, as long as everyone surrenders their bamboo hats and settles their daily wages, the employment will be completed successfully.
"Hand over the hat," she said.
Hearing this, Pang Yu handed over the hat without hesitation, and then received a salary of 10 copper coins and 2 black noodles for dinner.
Under his leadership, the players took action one after another.
At this moment, a cold chirping sounded, "You guys are stupid! You can only get 10 copper coins for a day's work for them. You can sell at least 50 copper coins if you keep the hats for sale. That's five full days' wages!"
Yun Ling sighed in his heart.
Before handing out the hats, she thought about whether the player would become greedy and refuse to return the rain gear when he took it
The possibility did exist, but she couldn't help it. Because no one can guarantee that players will not catch a cold or have a fever if they are exposed to the rain for a long time.
These people are working for her anyway, and they must be provided with a safe working environment.
As for if someone is black-hearted and black-lung-
"Be kind." Yun Ling's eyes were cold and his tone was deep, "Before I get angry, hand over the bamboo hat. Otherwise... you will regret it."
The man laughed, "Naive!"
Yun Ling recognized Thorn, it was a female player named Huang Aixin. When signing up, she said that she had an elderly person at home and a child at home, and her family was dying of starvation, so she must leave a place for her in the team.
When it was time to actually work, he scolded, as if he thought the work was too hard.
When eating at noon, she moved quickly, picked up the multi-grain steamed buns and stuffed them into her stomach desperately. She was afraid that others would snatch her, and she never thought of saving a bite for her family.
In addition, according to Yun Ling's observation, Huang Aixin is probably the least efficient among the ten players.
The hands and feet are complete, but the work is not quick, and the resources collected are less than that of a 15- or 16-year-old girl who is thin and malnourished.
"Again, my patience is limited." Yun Ling said word by word, "You'd better not challenge my bottom line."
"Everyone has returned to the territory, who are you frightening!" Huang Aixin looked disdainful, "I said that there are old people and children at home that need to be raised, so you believe it? What a fool! Tell you, I'm alone, I just need to keep my mouth shut. , there is no relative drag at all."
After all, she was triumphant and left unrestrained.
Yun Ling said nothing, the air pressure around his body was terrifyingly low.
"You, don't be angry." The 15- or 16-year-old girl tried to comfort you, "Most of us are actually very grateful to you. Not only money, but also lunch and dinner, the treatment is really good."
"I'm not angry." Yun Ling smiled suddenly, "This person will never appear in Lingyun Village again, so there's no need to be angry."
She seems to be saying that there is no need to care about the dead.
The players couldn't help shivering.
Except for Huang Aixin, the others, either out of principle or out of awe, obediently handed over their hats. Then I got my daily salary, dinner, and was ready to leave.
Yun Ling tapped his index finger, "You, you, you... If you want to gather with the group tomorrow, you can come over."
"Why?" Before the selected person could cheer, one of the two people who were not selected couldn't help but question.
"Why didn't I choose you, you don't know what?" Yun Ling said indifferently, "Aren't you tired after walking all the way with bamboo shoots and mushrooms?"
It is agreed that all the collected items should be handed in, not to be kept privately, and they should be ignored
The man's face was blue and white, and he was speechless.
He thought that what he was doing was extremely concealed, but he didn't expect everyone to see it, but he was too lazy to care about him.
"What about me?" another asked.
Yun Ling: "The efficiency of collection is about to catch up with Huang Aixin. It's a lot of fun to paddle. It's better to hire someone else's little girl than to hire you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who asked the question turned pale.
"Okay, let's go." Yun Ling waved his hand, "If you are willing to come, we will meet tomorrow at the same time and place, and we will still receive the same treatment."
After speaking, without waiting for the player to reply, she took the NPC and left.
Huang Aixin slipped too fast, and there was still time to settle the account with her.
**
"Look, this is a brand new bamboo hat! One price, 80 copper coins!" After leaving the team, Huang Aixin turned around and found a potential customer, ready to sell the rain gear.
The other party was quite moved, but it was inevitable that he felt a little distressed, "80 copper coins are too expensive, it's cheaper."
"Don't think it's too expensive. Rain gear is in demand recently. Someone else will pay for it every minute." Huang Aixin said earnestly.
Seeing the other party's hesitation, she took the initiative to show the attributes of the equipment and said in a seductive tone, "See for yourself if it's brand new."
【Name: hat (rain gear)】
Quality: ordinary
Durability: 20/20
Wearing effect: Stamina +1.
The quality is quite good.
"Okay." Just as he was about to pay the bill, he saw a flash of white light and Huang Aixin disappeared.
"What about people?" The customer was stunned.
At the same time, Huang Aixin received a system prompt, "You have been pulled into the "Lingyun Village" blacklist. 】
[You have lost your qualification as a temporary resident of Lingyun Village. 】
[It will be permanently banned from entering the territory in the future. 】
What is this all about? Huang Aixin was dumbfounded.
"Have I reminded you," Yun Ling walked out of the territory and said slowly, "My patience is limited?"
"What did you do?!" Huang Aixin was stern.
She never thought that if she stayed in the safe area, she would be thrown out.
I offended the other party before, and players are not prohibited from using force outside the territory. Isn't this the end!
As for threats, in her opinion, what the other party said was as deterrent as "be careful when you do bad things". How did she know that the other party was not joking, but serious...
In retrospect, Huang Aixin's bowels are regretful. Why don't you have long eyes and provoke people you can't provoke!
"The means that advanced players can use are much more than you know." Yun Ling said coldly, "Hand over the hat, I will spare your life. Otherwise, killing you and exploding the equipment is the same."
"You dare! Killing is against the law!" Huang Aixin tried to awaken the other party's conscience.
However, Yun Ling didn't bother to talk to her at all. With a wave of his hand, an NPC rushed out, picked up a wooden stick, and slapped it on his calf.
Huang Aixin let out a scream and fell to the ground immediately.
"If you take the initiative to hand it over, you can suffer less." Yun Ling warned.
Before he finished speaking, another stick hit Huang Aixin's back, causing pain.
Huang Aixin screamed and howled, "I'll return it! Can't I return the hat to you!"
If she doesn't spit out the equipment, she is afraid that she won't survive tonight.
After speaking, Huang Aixin couldn't wait to throw the hat to the ground.
Assassin A picked up the bamboo hat, his eyes still glowing with cold light.
A chill rose in Huang Aixin's heart. She hurriedly shouted, "The equipment has been returned! I know I was wrong!"
The person who knows the times is Junjie, and he should never hold back when he should bow his head and be soft.
While sobbing, Huang Aixin explained, trying to get away with it, "I was so hungry, I had to lie to you..."
"I'm not interested in the reason." Seeing that the hat has been retrieved, Yun Ling said indifferently, "If you do bad things, you will be punished. Feel free to consume the kindness of others, and be careful of thunder."
Lightning flashed as he spoke, as if lightning struck.
Huang Aixin was afraid that the other party could really summon thunder and lightning, so she trembled and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare anymore."
Yun Ling took a deep look at Huang Aixin, then turned and left without any reluctance.
"Wait!" Huang Aixin became anxious, "I was permanently banned from entering Lingyun Village. Are you the one who made trouble?"
"The anger is out, and the equipment is also taken away. Is it time to cancel the effect of the props?"
She mistakenly thought that Yunling could only add players to the territory blacklist by relying on props.
"I said, you will regret it." Yun Ling walked into Lingyun Village and turned a deaf ear to Huang Aixin's cry.
outside the village.
Huang Aixin gritted her teeth and stood up and tried to enter the village.
[You have been blacklisted and permanently banned from entering the territory. 】
No matter how many times it is repeated, the system will give the same prompt coldly and mercilessly.
Huang Aixin stood outside the territory, staring blankly at the players lighting fires and cooking. They are so close to each other, but there seems to be a galaxy in the middle.
If she can't enter Lingyun Village, where can she go in the future
You know, the nearest territory from here has to walk for more than an hour to reach it.
Now that it's getting late, how can she get there
Thinking of the sad place, Huang Aixin's eyes darkened and she almost fainted.
**
On the way home, Pang Yu's footsteps were particularly brisk.
With 10 copper coins in hand, the couple will have their overnight fee for tonight.
I ate a big meal at noon, and I was not hungry for the time being, and I could give my wife the bread that I saved.
He always felt that if he was hungry and full, his wife would not be able to recover.
"I'm back." Different from the past, Pang Yu's voice was full of energy, as if he saw hope.
The wife was slightly startled, "Could it be that you were lucky enough to find food?"
"No, I joined a team." Pang Yu said eloquently, telling his wife what happened that day in detail.
"Great." His wife's eyes were wet.
Every time her husband went out, she was worried and sometimes even couldn't sleep well. Now that I have joined a reliable team, I can finally rest assured.
"This is the black noodle cake given by the team, eat it quickly." Pang Yu soaked the noodle cake with warm water, and then helped his wife sit up and eat.
The wife thought that the dark cakes must not taste very good. Who knew that after tasting the first bite, his eyes lit up, "It's delicious."
Black rice, wheat, and sweet potatoes are mixed together, and it tastes sweet.
Pang Yu said solemnly, "When you are healed, let's join the collection team together. At that time, the team will manage the meals, and it will be much easier to save money."
yes. The wife thought to herself that she had to get better soon and not hold back any longer.
**
Hurrying and collecting, busy all morning, and finally had time to rest for a while, Wu He nibbled on the steamed buns of miscellaneous grains, and said resentfully in his heart, these people are simply using the players as animals!
Great force
What about being proficient in combat
Can you not treat people like people and let them work from morning till night
The more Wu He thought about it, the more angry he became. He couldn't help but secretly hid a few in his arms while digging for mushrooms.
Originally, all the collected materials were handed over. This regulation is very unreasonable and is not conducive to stimulating the enthusiasm of employees.
If 80% of the harvest is handed in, and 20% is kept for personal use, that's about the same.
So when collecting bamboo shoots, he also kept and handed in the materials according to the ratio of 28 to 28.
When doing this, Wu He completely forgot that if the compensation was paid by share, the team would never provide two meals and give copper coins.
But he doesn't care. That is to enjoy the benefits, take advantage of the cheap, and refuse to let it go.
"You, you, you... If you want to collect with the group tomorrow, you can come over."
After returning to Lingyun Village, the only woman in the team without a mask said so.
Wu Heru was struck by lightning and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"Walking all the way with bamboo shoots and mushrooms, aren't you tired?"
The other party fluttered a word, and directly stabbed him in the dead end. It turned out that the hands and feet made in secret were all seen by the other party, but they were not exposed on the spot.
Teams won't hire themselves tomorrow.
He had to find another way out.
Without powerful skills, advanced equipment, or even rain gear, what can he do alone
When I went out today, I saw with my own eyes that the nearby edible plants were all collected and nothing was left. Only by going far away can new resources be found.
But how can he go and return safely by himself
If you lose your team, you can only starve to death when you act alone, or go out and be besieged by monsters to death!
The good errand I met by chance was lost by him alive.
Until now, Wu He woke up like a dream and finally realized what kind of stupid thing he had done.
**
After the rainy season began, Yunling devoted himself to spending money on consumption, purchasing materials, and helping the poor. Therefore, the copper coins are quickly spent and cannot be saved at all.
Later, he made bamboo hats and scorpions and sold them. The business was booming, and copper coins were quickly accumulated.
Seeing that there were more than 20,000 copper coins in the small vault, Yunling opened the territory panel and prepared to upgrade the building.
Warehouse (level 1), wood workshop (level 1), tailor shop (level 1), dwelling (level 1), protective cover (level 1), restaurant (level 1).
Two out of six.
Yunling pondered for a moment, "For functional buildings such as wood workshops, tailor shops, and restaurants, Level 1 can accommodate 2 NPC employees, Level 2 can accommodate 5, and Level 3 can accommodate 10. It depends on the variety of goods sold. Even if you upgrade your NPC abilities, you may not be able to recruit suitable ones."
"Upgrading residential buildings, you can build 1,000 wooden houses or stone houses. Although the stone houses are large in size and have a good environment, the price can be doubled. The wooden houses for 500 copper coins are just too much. Most players can't afford it. There's no need to make anything better."
"In this way, only the warehouse (level 1) and protective cover (level 1) are left."
After thinking for a long time, Yunling finally chose to upgrade the "warehouse" and "protective cover".
[The warehouse is upgraded to level 2. 】
[The area is 500 square meters, which can store various resources and extend the shelf life of food by 15 days. 】
[The protective cover is upgraded to level 2. 】
[The upper limit of life value becomes 20000/20000. 】
[Basic recovery speed: 2 HP/min. 】
The building was upgraded, the storage area was increased, the shelf life was extended, and the defense effect was better. Yun Ling was indescribably satisfied in the depths of his heart, and his brows were full of smiles.
**
late at night.
There was silence all around, and the players had fallen asleep.
Archer A, B, B, D, and Ding loyally guarded Lingyun Village, daring not to slack off.
At this moment, the door of the wooden house suddenly opened, and a person walked towards them slowly as if pacing.
The shooters A, B, C, and Ding met, and exchanged glances with each other.
Sagittarius: The guy who robs us of our work every day is here again!
Sagittarius B: Grab monsters every day, can you put him on the blacklist
Archer C: There are monsters sneaking attack every night, but the number of dropped items picked up is rare. Will the lord think that we are lazy and don’t work hard
Sagittarius Ding: I never expected that there would be a risk of unemployment...
Under the complicated gaze of the NPC, Lu Chuan stood on the edge of the territory.
After waiting for more than half an hour, a group of fire elements walked towards Lingyun Village.
They are covered in flames and look terrifying.
During the journey, sporadic sparks fell, which not only burned the green plants along the way, but also left black burn marks on the ground.
Archer Armor's expression was solemn, "More than 20 enemy units are approaching the territory. Be careful, prepare for battle!"
The guards held their breaths and waited.
One step, one step, one step, the enemy is getting closer.
When the fire element stepped into the attack range, the archers could not help but draw their bows and shoot arrows.
However, Lu Chuan was faster than them.
He took the special-effect arrow from his quiver and let it out without hesitation. Frozen arrows, piercing arrows, and sharp arrows took turns in battle, and the number was astounding.
But in the blink of an eye, the fire element was completely extinguished.
At this time, the health of the protective cover was 18944/20000, which was far from meeting the warning requirements for all residents of the territory (the first warning when the blood volume dropped below 25%).
Lu Chuan was not satisfied, "Fire element is immune to all fire-based skills. If explosive arrows and burning arrows can be used, the cleaning speed will be faster."
Shooter A, B, C, D, "… "
Say, are you trying to steal our jobs
Lu Chuan ignored the NPC's stares and walked aside to rest.
【Name: Dragon Quiver】
Quality: Legendary
Durability: 84/100
Wearing effect: Automatically replenish one arrow every minute, up to 50 arrows can be loaded.
Special effects: After the arrow is generated, there is a 30% chance to attach special effects, such as penetration, explosion, freezing, and burning.
Currently, there are 15 Bursting Arrows and 10 Burning Arrows left in the orange quiver.
Every minute that passes, the quiver is automatically replenished with an arrow. 30% chance to generate special effect arrows, 70% chance to generate normal arrows.
It takes a lot of time to fill the orange quiver with special effect arrows. When you are unlucky, the probability is not counted at all, and the generated arrows are always ordinary arrows.
Fortunately, he was patient enough to wait.
**
Day 23.
As soon as it was dawn, Fu Yige got up and prepared to go out.
One travel bag, one dry food, one water glass filled with clear water, one wooden shovel, and one dagger.
Then put on straw sandals and plan to go out.
When one of them saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Brother Fu, why did you go without rain gear?"
"You don't understand this, right?" Before Fu Yige could answer, someone next to him rushed to answer, "Brother Fu is notorious for wanting money and not dying, and he always only wears a pair of straw sandals when he goes out."
"He often said that instead of buying rain gear, it's better to save the money and buy a formal resident status later, or buy a house and buy equipment."
"Young, what are you afraid of when it rains?" Fu Yige said with a smile, "When the rainy season is over, the rain gear will no longer be useful, so there is no need to waste money."
The person who asked the question before was in awe, "Brother Fu is so brave!"
"I'm used to saving money." After speaking, Fu Yige walked to the bonfire and prepared to eat breakfast.
The rain was pattering down.
Fu Yige looked calm and waited calmly for 8 o'clock.
It was not the first time he went out in the rain. At first, he was terrified and worried that there would be sequelae. Later, he found out that although he was in a negative state when exposed to the rain, when he returned to the territory, he had a fire and had a hot meal, and he was in a negative state. will disappear.
When he came and went, he ignored it and ran around in straw sandals.
Being brave is also good.
On a rainy day, others were trapped in the territory and unable to move, but he gained more or less.
The more times, the more bold Fu Yige, and the longer the rain.
Fu Yige thought that this day would be spent peacefully as usual, but who knows——
[Because of excessive rain, you are sick, strength-3, agility-3, physical strength-3, intelligence-3, spirit-3. 】
[The basic recovery speed is changed to: 1 HP/5 minutes, 1 mana/5 minutes. 】
[Three days of rest (without rain for three consecutive days, working time < one hour) can restore health. 】
Fu Yige, "..."
Seeing the system prompt, there was only one thought in his mind - he would have to pay it back after all.
