With the passage of time, more and more life players learn to make hats/shoji, and the price of rain gear gradually declines.
The life players who were the first to sell rain gear made a lot of money and bought houses and moved. Even if the business is no longer as prosperous as before, there is enough money to buy blueprints and learn to make other items.
On the other hand, the production of rain gear has increased significantly, and going out in rainy days is no longer a problem. Residents are either using umbrellas, wearing mullets, or wearing hats to resume their normal routines.
At the same time, the collection team formed by Yunling has 20 people, all of them are diligent and hardworking, obedient and well-behaved.
Thanks to these people, the warehouse stockpiles of game materials are increasing day by day.
Day 31.
The text in the upper right corner finally changed, "The 31st day, Spring, Peaceful Day, 7:30:00."
Peaceful day.
Yun Ling pondered the new term, guessing that the drizzling life was about to end.
Not long after, twenty members of the collection team arrived.
Yun Ling said solemnly, "The game settings have changed. If someone wants to leave the team and act alone, I will never stop them."
The air became quiet for a while.
After waiting for a long time, none of the members said to leave. Everyone quietly stayed where they were, waiting for Yunling to lead the team out.
Yun Ling was slightly surprised. She also thought that someone must be ambitious and leave the team.
However, in fact, what players think is that it is easy to go now, but it is difficult to come back later.
It is true that you can move freely on Christmas Day, but what if it becomes a "summer, disaster day" in a few days
After all, alone, the ability to withstand disasters is extremely poor.
It's different with the team. When encountering mobs, there are guards to protect them. The amount of materials collected is not considerable. The head of the team still pays the amount and provides meals.
It's nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and it's hard to find a stable job. How can players give up easily
Take a step back. If the team fails and there is no money to continue hiring, it will not be too late to act alone.
"Since no one wants to leave," Yun Ling smiled, "Let's go."
**
What is the day of peace
Light literally cannot understand.
But not long after leaving the territory, Yun Ling noticed the difference.
Previously, the edible plants near Lingyun Village had been dug up, and there was no food left. Now, there are sporadic potatoes, sweet potatoes, and wild vegetables around, which is equivalent to refreshing some resource points.
When encountering mobs in the past, they often chased and fought hard, and they couldn't get rid of them no matter what. Today, run small steps and open a distance, the monsters will be too lazy to chase.
On a disaster day, the rain will fall as soon as it is said to fall, and it will stop as soon as it stops, without any pattern. On Christmas Day, the weather was fine and there was no sign of rain at all.
…
No matter how you look at it, the difficulty of surviving on a peace day is much lower than a disaster day.
Yunling led people to pick honey, pick berries, and dig potatoes, busy round and round.
But when I count the material reserves, my heart is full of joy, and I feel that it is okay to be a little busy.
**
evening.
After finishing the day's work and paying the salary, Yun Ling waved his hand, "It's all gone."
The players dispersed, only one person quickly caught up, "Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Yun Ling asked.
It was a young man of twenty-seven or eight-year-old, with a gentle appearance, he was a little hesitant at the moment, as if it was difficult to speak.
Yun Ling was neither in a hurry nor slow, and waited patiently.
After a long time, the young man made up his mind and said, "Can you lend me some money?"
"What do you want to do?" Yun Ling was curious.
The young man explained, "I majored in chemistry, and I am proficient in this field of knowledge, but not good at manual labor. If possible, I would like to buy some experimental equipment and do my own business."
"For example?" Yun Ling asked.
"Making sugar, making salt, and making ice cubes." The young man whispered.
Make ice? Yun Ling's heart moved.
In fact, she suspects that the game will cause trouble for players in the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Unfortunately, this is just speculation without evidence.
"What materials do you need? How much do you want to borrow?" Yun Ling asked in more detail.
The young man thought for a while and said uncertainly, "200 copper coins should be enough?"
Yun Ling said nothing.
The young man immediately changed his mind, "100 copper coins will do. You can't make a big fat man in one bite. Everything has to be done gradually!"
Yun Ling raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp, "I will prepare a wooden house for you as a studio, and I will give you 500 copper coins for you to purchase materials and tools."
"The only condition is that the finished product will be 28 points, I will give you two points."
"If you don't want the finished product, I can pay you 40-100 copper coins per day, depending on the quality and quantity of the item."
The sudden surprise stunned the young man. He was so happy that he didn't know how to place his hands and feet, "My name is Zhang Heng... Of course you are willing to contribute! I originally wanted to do research quietly, sell products, and find offline. It's too troublesome..."
"Then it's settled." Yun Ling said decisively, "Meet you at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I'll take you to the studio."
"Okay!" By consensus, Zhang Heng left happily.
Yun Ling opened the territory property panel and chose a wooden house for Zhang Heng to use as a studio.
【Name: Wooden House】
Use effect: After purchase, players can have 20 square meters of private space, and others are not allowed to trespass without permission.
Price: 500 copper coins.
Note: For special props, each official resident can purchase only 1 room.
This provision is only for ordinary players.
For Yun Ling, the entire territory is hers, not to mention how many wooden houses? As long as she doesn't sell it to the player, the owner of the cabin is her.
"Leaving a few days between the seasons as a safe day seems to be a hint to players to make full use of the rest time and prepare in advance in order to meet the next round of challenges." Yun Ling sighed, and there was something wrong. hunch.
**
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Heng cleaned up early and anxiously waited for Yun Ling to summon him.
Before 7 o'clock, he received a message, "Come to the residential area."
Seeing this, Zhang Heng was refreshed and quickly trotted to the residential area.
The so-called residential area is actually a wooden house area. A large group of wooden houses are arranged neatly and orderly, just like the old residential houses, so players are accustomed to calling it a "residential area".
As for the area where the tents are staggered... Players generally dub it as "slums". Because the tent covers a small area, allowing players to come and go at will, there is no security at all.
Three minutes later, Zhang Heng appeared in the outer circle of the residential area.
Seeing the person, Yun Ling said, "Come with me."
Then go ahead and lead the way.
Zhang Heng was half happy, half excited, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't calm down.
Yun Ling stopped in front of a wooden hut, "This is the residence of the team members, usually no one lives there, and it is used to store food. I heard that you can make ice, so I will have the room tidied up and given to you. ."
Yun Ling's expression was light, and the lie came when he opened his mouth.
However, to Zhang Heng's ears, there is no flaw in these remarks. He rubbed his hands excitedly, "Why is this so embarrassing..."
"If you can really make ice cubes, it doesn't matter if this house is given to you in the future." Yun Ling said indifferently.
After the player buys the wooden house, it can be given to others for free, or it can be listed for sale.
It's just that most people want to have their own house and are too lazy to toss, so they won't transfer or give it away.
Hearing this, Zhang Heng blushed and breathed a bit short of breath, "Give me the house? Really?"
"The premise is that you perform well and make people satisfied." With that, Yun Ling pushed open the door and entered.
Zhang Heng followed and took a look. There were wooden tables, wooden chairs, and cabinets in the room. The furniture is neatly arranged and the environment is clean and tidy, like a small studio.
Such a house is very common before the end of the world game, but it is not common after the end of the game.
"This, this..." Zhang Heng was stunned, and after a long time, he said, "It cost a lot of money, right?"
"It's just a little money, it's nothing." Yun Ling took out 500 copper coins, "These are used to purchase equipment. How to use it is up to you."
Zhang Heng looked at Yun Ling blankly, and subconsciously pinched his arm.
"Ow—"
He cried out in pain, and when Yun Ling looked over, he smiled shyly, "So it wasn't a dream..."
You know, the game so far, he is not very happy. All the copper coins obtained may add up to less than 500.
This is an uncompromising sum of money!
It can make people lose their minds!
"Work hard, you will have a bright future in the future." After a short pause, Yun Ling's voice was cold, "But if you want to cheat money, you don't know how to make sugar or ice. I promise, you will regret it."
Zhang Heng's heart tightened, and he made a serious statement, "I didn't lie, I really enjoyed this bowl of rice. When I asked you to borrow money, I also planned to develop my expertise and avoid areas that I am not good at."
Although there is nothing he can't do in order to survive, he is really not used to hard work and tiring work. Given the opportunity, I naturally want to change my career and change my job.
Yun Ling: "Then I'll wait and see."
**
Two days later.
Zhang Heng called Yun Ling to the studio.
He first took out the white and delicate refined salt and said proudly, "This is extracted from the lake water. It tastes good and can be eaten."
Then he picked up a plastic bag with white sugar, "This is extracted from sugar cane and beets. Juice is first squeezed, then boiled and concentrated, and then separated and crystallized. At first, brown sugar was produced, which was further refined. , you can get white sugar for daily consumption.”
When it comes to the professional field, Zhang Heng is extremely excited, opening and closing his mouth and talking non-stop.
Yun Ling, "…"
As a human being, why can't I understand what you are saying
"Anyway," Yun Ling interrupted Zhang Heng's professional explanation, "it's enough if you can make something."
Glancing at the table, she asked, "Where's the ice cubes?"
Zhang Heng held out the iced sugarcane juice as if offering a treasure, "Here."
Yun Ling took a sip and found that the taste was sweet and cold. The drink entered the stomach, the heat disappeared, and the whole body was indescribably smooth.
Zhang Heng explained, "Ice cubes can be made, but they are not easy to preserve, so I didn't make too much. I made them when needed to prevent the ice cubes from melting."
"Yes." Yun Ling nodded in agreement, "Usually, it is mainly used to make sugar and salt. Players need all these basic living ingredients."
"In the production process, I actually encountered some trouble." Zhang Heng hesitated.
"Say."
Zhang Heng was quite distressed, "The salt is okay, the lake water is temporarily unavailable, so don't worry about raw materials."
"Sugar cane and sugar beets are resources that need to be collected from the wild, and there are not many circulating on the market."
"It's even more troublesome to make ice. I use the saltpeter ice-making method, which requires a lot of saltpeter."
Yun Ling frowned, "Didn't you make ice cubes? Where did the saltpeter come from?"
"The player bought it." Zhang Heng answered honestly, "He said he unlocked the 'primary mining' and dug some saltpeter from the mine."
Speaking of the mine, Yun Ling thought of the blacksmith shop that had not been unlocked for a long time. She pondered for a moment before saying, "Since the materials are not enough, I usually focus on making salt."
"I will regularly send you some beets and sugar cane. After receiving the materials, I will start making white sugar."
"As for the saltpeter—" Her eyes darkened, "I'll find someone to explore, and I'll bring it to you when the saltpeter is dug up."
"That's fine." Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief when the raw material problem was resolved.
Yun Ling showed his approval, "You did a good job. In the future, the daily salary will be 50 copper coins for lunch and dinner."
"Ah!" Zhang Heng was surprised and happy.
What is the concept of 50 copper coins per day
In just two days, he can become an official resident of Lingyun Village.
In ten days, he will have the money to buy a house.
If you have money, you can buy low-level self-made equipment. Get enough six pieces, you can arm to the teeth!
The more Zhang Heng thought about it, the more excited he became. His fingers trembled slightly, but he couldn't restrain his excitement.
"As long as you are steadfast and willing to work, I will never treat talents badly." Yun Ling said solemnly.
**
The weather was clear and cloudless. Those who need to gather go out to collect, and those who need to hunt go out to hunt. Players will have a better life again, and their spare money will gradually increase.
【Inhabitable population: 1000】
[Existing residents: 814 (278 formal residents, 536 temporary residents)]
The population of the territory has skyrocketed, and every day, the overnight fee is just softened.
Yunling checked the NPC information of life and occupation in the territory and found that the talents are as follows-

Tailor shop.
【Name: Tailor Armor】

Craftable items: Bandage, Quiver, Cloth Shoes, Cloth Armor, Belt.

Level 1 can accommodate 2 NPC employees, level 2 can accommodate 5, and level 3 can accommodate 10.
Obviously, whether it is a restaurant, a carpentry workshop or a tailor shop, it has reached the upper limit.
Upgrade the building to level 2, and new NPCs can be hired to work in the store.
View the visitor list.
A 4th-level priest, a 3rd-level marksman, and a mid-level cook.
Yunling clicked Hire and named him "Chef C."
【Name: Chef C】
Level: 3
Attributes: Strength 8, Agility 8, Stamina 9, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5.
Combat skills: none
Life Skill: Intermediate Cooking
Items that can be made: multigrain steamed buns, mushroom stewed eggs, vegetable salad, sandwiches, noodles in clear soup, spring rolls, and dumplings.
Then upgrade the "restaurant".
[The restaurant has been upgraded to level 2. 】
[The area of the hall is enlarged, and more customers can be received at the same time. 】
【There are more kinds of tableware, which is convenient for chefs to cook. 】
Different from the past, a new prompt followed, [The upgrade conditions have been preliminarily met, do you want to check the details? 】
Yunling clicked "Yes".
New information pops up.
[To upgrade a village to a small town, the following conditions must be met. 】
[1. Unlock 6 different buildings. (completed)】
[2, 4 buildings are upgraded to level 2. (completed)】
[3. For 7 consecutive days, the number of residents exceeded 700. (3/7, unfinished)]
[4. For 7 consecutive days, the daily income of the territory exceeded 7,000 copper coins. (2/7, unfinished)
(Note: Daily income = store income + tax + other)]
[Meet the above conditions, pay 50,000 copper coins, the territory can be upgraded. 】
Yun Ling thought about it, 7 buildings have been unlocked in the territory, so condition 1 is completed.
Warehouse (level 2), mission hall (level 2), shield (level 2), restaurant (level 2), so condition 2 is completed.
At the current rate of population influx in the territory, in four days, condition 3 will be automatically completed.
Condition 4 is a bit more difficult.
It is not easy to have a stable daily income of more than 7000. Because it is 7 consecutive days, as long as one day does not meet the standard, you have to start the calculation from scratch.
In addition, the restaurant's upgrade to level 2 has used up most of the savings, and it is also a hassle to collect 50,000 copper coins.
"We have to think of a way." Yun Ling said in his heart.
She is a typical life player, she can live as long as she can, and she has no big ambitions.
If it weren't for the fear of losing the level, it would be at a disadvantage, and sometimes even too lazy to level up.
The reason why I want to upgrade as soon as possible is not because I suddenly changed my temper and intends to start the hegemony mode, but because I am greedy for the construction position...
According to past experience, the first upgrade to a small town should have additional rewards.
For example, unlockable buildings +1.
For example, the resident gain status +1.
These extra rewards are hard to buy, urging her to forge ahead.
"Looking at the list of rankings, Lingyun Village still ranks first in all the rankings. In the next 4 days, the daily income of the territory must exceed 7,000 copper coins, and it will be promoted to a small town first!"
how should I do it
Yun Ling raised his cheeks and fell into contemplation.
**
storehouse.
Yun Ling carefully counted the materials, only then did he find that the materials in the warehouse were all kinds and everything. She even found a few pieces of saltpeter inside, and can't remember where she got it from.
Yun Ling, "…"
The hoarders are like this.
I keep buying and buying, and sometimes I can't tell what goods I have stocked up after buying.
Anyway, she firmly believes that they are all strategic materials and will come in handy sooner or later.
Aside from distractions, Yun Ling rummaged through the pile of materials. After a while, her eyes lit up, "I found it!"
**
afternoon.
3 blue, 2 white, and all five arrows in the quiver shot out. Wei Zhe ended the hunt and returned to Lingyun Village ahead of schedule.
Along the way, residents were constantly heard whispering, "The days are too sad, when is the head?"
"Once the rainy season is over, the food at home will be eaten up, and we have to start stockpiling again."
"I finally saved some money. After buying the official resident qualification, I have nothing left! Yes, save it from scratch."
"Hey, you said, if we moved to other territories, would life be easier?"
The others were silent, as if they were being questioned.
Wei Zhe shook his head when he heard it, "I don't know happiness when I live in happiness!"
He is not an aboriginal resident of Lingyun Village.
At the beginning of the game, the first encounter is the "Kapok Camp". Later, seeing that it was good, I settled down there.
Wei Zhe thought that if he got up early to hunt and returned late to work and prepare food, his life would go on like this. Unexpectedly, one day, the monster suddenly attacked the camp like crazy.
It was a night and the residents were asleep. As a result, while half asleep, he heard the screams of women, the cries of children, and the scolding of old people.
With sleepy eyes, Wei Zhe walked out of the tent and wanted to ask these people what they were arguing about if they didn't sleep at night.
Unexpectedly, when I went out to take a look, the players fell to the ground, and many of them were not breathing.
Not far away, monsters are rampant. Some are at war with the player, some are heading to the tent, looking for new prey.
Wei Zhe seemed to have been splashed with cold water, and his mind immediately became clearer.
He quickly returned to the house, planning to pack up and run away.
Due to the urgency of the situation and limited time, most of the belongings were too late to take away, so they could only simply pack up. Then, Wei Zhe grabbed his backpack and ran wildly away from the camp.
When they were running away, they were discovered by monsters, and the three little monsters were chasing after them and entangled them for life.
Wei Zhe took advantage of the terrain to kill one and throw two away, finally escaping.
However, he did not escape from the sea of misery, but began a life of displacement.
Some territories are dominated by large teams, squeezing solo players to their fullest; some territories are exclusive and do not welcome outsiders; some territories have few buildings and poor defenses; In two days, the territory was breached...
There were constant twists and turns along the way, and Wei Zhe gradually became numb. Just when he was disheartened and felt that it was easier to live than to die, he came to Lingyun Village.
Become an official resident, you can enjoy two buffs, which greatly improve the resident's ability to survive in the wild.
There are not only guards, but also defensive structures such as protective shields in the territory.
At night, you can sleep soundly and with peace of mind. You don't have to be nervous and worry about monsters attacking at all times.
There are a lot of functional buildings and a variety of commodities, which can almost meet all the needs of players.
There is no team pressure, solo players and living players can be seen everywhere, and they can play freely.
There are many hats, scorpions, bamboo umbrellas, and rain gear at reasonable prices. It is not monopolized by the team, and no one has fired the price to the sky.
Even in the most difficult moments, I never heard of a scandal in which players hunted players and sold explosive equipment for money to survive.
Wei Zhe really felt that there would be no more friendly territory in S City than Lingyun Village. It is suitable to live here, and there is hope in struggle.
Entering the tailor's shop with copper coins in his arms, Wei Zhe plans to buy another "hunting quiver". Unexpectedly, if you look closely, there are new products on the shelves.
【Name: Red Flame Quiver】
Quality: Rare
Wearing effect: Automatically replenish one arrow every minute, up to 35 arrows can be loaded.
Special effect: After the arrow is generated, there is a 20% chance to attach the special effect of "burning". Once successfully attached, the arrow's attack power +12, causing additional fire spell damage.
Price: 1200 copper coins.
【Name: Fire Feather Cloak】
Quality: Rare
Wear effect: Stamina +10
Special effect: Inflicts 3 fire spell damage to surrounding enemies every second.
Price: 3000 copper coins.
Seeing the attributes of the equipment, Wei Zhe immediately took a deep breath—what kind of fairyland is this? Why even have purple clothes to sell!
He has heard people mention that at the beginning of the game, high-end equipment is quite scarce. Except for the good luck picking up purple and orange cards on the first day of card rain, hunting bosses is the only source of purple and orange equipment.
Although the authenticity has not been verified, there are more than one or two sayings.
In addition to the territories he has been to, the system store never sells purple and orange clothes. After a long time, Wei Zhe naturally believes it.
result! The system store in Lingyun Village sells purple clothes! And not one, but two!
Wei Zhe was shocked and stupefied, froze in place, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
For a long time, he touched his pocket and sighed regretfully, "I don't have enough money to buy it. It's a pity."
