A ten-person team chatting while walking.
"Has the mobs become more powerful recently?" The archer mentioned in a chatty manner, "I originally used skills to kill one with two arrows, but now I need three arrows."
"Maybe." The assassin said, "After killing the monster, the items dropped, and the amount of copper coins also increased. In the past, a mobs dropped 2-4 copper coins, but now there are 3-6 coins."
The mage was worried, "What if the mobs can be upgraded like the players?"
As soon as these words came out, the air was stagnant, and everyone did not know how to answer.
The tall man at the head looked indifferent, "Then the upgrade is faster than it, the strength is faster than it, and it will always be suppressed."
The players are a little relieved.
The archer laughed, "The boss is mighty and domineering!"
The assassin nodded solemnly, "This proposal is good, I like it."
The mage is right when he thinks about it, "I didn't get poisoned by monsters when I didn't have skills or equipment. Can something go wrong with a high level and more skills?"
Taking a step back is really hard to beat, and a strategic retreat is always okay.
The tall man glanced at the team members and said solemnly, "If you have time to ponder the mess, why not think more about how to surpass other teams and become the number one in Lingyun Village."
When it comes to this, the archer is very helpless, "Some people are born with good luck and find a livable territory from the beginning. When fighting monsters, there is a state of gain, and equipment can be purchased from the system store. Buy homemade gear there.”
"What about us? The strength is not bad, but we are trapped again and again. Sometimes, just after purchasing a formal resident qualification, the territory is breached and we have to leave and escape."
As a result, all the money was wasted.
They have worked hard, but they are still unsatisfactory, barely staying alive from starvation.
"Being inferior to others for a while does not mean that you will never be inferior to others." The tall man said calmly, "Fight more monsters, save more money, and then buy high-end equipment to replace them. We are no worse than others."
You must know that in the early stage of the game, in order to enhance survivability, many people choose to learn 2-3 C-level skills. And the members of their team, at worst, have learned two B-level skills, and some even have s, a, and a configuration!
The further up you go, the more experience you need and the more difficult it is to level up. The only way to improve your strength is to replace equipment or replace advanced skills.
That's when they shine.
The tall man's eyes are firm and his steps are firm, as if nothing can shake his determination.
Stepping into the tailor's shop, I wanted to buy a blue-quality "hunting quiver" for the archer. When they saw the goods on the shelf, everyone exclaimed in unison.
"Purple quiver? 20% chance to attach special effects? What the hell!"
"Why does the system store have purple outfits?!"
"The tank concentrates on defense, and the fire feather cloak automatically deals magic damage to surrounding enemies. What kind of fairy equipment is this!"
"Not only the equipment of the gods, but also the price of the gods... 3000 copper coins, my day!"
The tall man's indifferent expression was cracked inch by inch, and his eyes could not help revealing shock, surprise, and surprise. But soon, he packed up his emotions and quickly ordered, "Gather the money and buy a quiver first. Starting tomorrow, the hunting time will be extended, more mobs will be farmed, and more copper coins will be earned."
In fact, the most wanted is the fire feather cloak, but the price is too expensive, they can't afford it.
The red flame quiver is also good, which can greatly improve the real-time combat effectiveness of the archer and strengthen the output.
If from now on, the system store has purple equipment for sale every day...
Thinking of the exciting place, the tall man felt agitated and full of pride.
**
[The tailor shop sold the red flame quiver*1, congratulations on getting 1200 copper coins. 】
[The tailor shop sold the Frost Quiver*1, congratulations on getting 1200 copper coins. 】
[The tailor's shop sold the Blast Quiver*1, congratulations on getting 1200 copper coins. 】
…
Every day, Yun Ling made some purple quivers and put them in the tailor shop for sale.
Frost Quiver Effect: After the arrow is generated, there is a 20% chance to attach the special effect of "Frost". Once successfully attached, the arrow's attack power +5, causing additional ice spell damage. After hitting the target, the attacking target slows down by 50% for 2 seconds.
Wind quiver special effect: After the arrow is generated, there is a 20% chance to attach the special effect of "penetration". Once successfully attached, the arrow's attack power +15, causing additional wind spell damage.
Each quiver has its own characteristics, which not only facilitates the control of the field, but also increases the output. Therefore, the business of tailor shops has been extremely hot these days.
The only regret is that the Fire Feather Cloak was placed on the shelf and was not bought for a long time.
Yun Ling didn't care. If she can't sell it, she will wear it herself, anyway, the equipment will not be wasted.
Days passed by.
Five days later.
[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. (completed)】
[4. For 7 consecutive days, the daily income of the territory exceeded 7,000 copper coins. (completed)
(Note: Daily income = store income + tax + other)]
[Meet all the conditions, do you pay 50,000 copper coins to upgrade the territory to a small town? 】
Yunling clicked "Yes".
Subsequently, many system prompts jumped out.
【update successed. 】
[The territory is expanded. 】
[Congratulations to "Lingyun Territory" for being the first to upgrade to a town, reward the lord with 2000 experience points and 10000 copper coins. 】
[Congratulations to the player for upgrading. 】
[You get 3 free attributes, which can be assigned at will. 】
[Congratulations to the first upgrade of "Lingyun Territory" to a small town, which can unlock buildings +1. 】
[Congratulations to "Lingyun Territory" for being the first to upgrade to a small town, and the resident gain status is +1. 】
[Please choose 2 of the 4 options below as a reward. (All official residents can enjoy the boosted state.)]
1. Health +50.
2. Basic recovery speed +1 HP/min.
3. Strength +5.
4. Intelligence +5.
Residents of Lingyun Village can enjoy the gain status of "HP +50" and "Basic recovery speed +1 HP/min".
If you choose 1 and 2, the buff status will become "HP+100", "Basic recovery speed+2 HP/min".
If you choose 3 and 4, you will enjoy the four gain states of "HP+50", "Basic recovery speed+1 HP/min", "Strength+5", and "Intelligence+5" at the same time.
Yunling analyzed, "Strength +5 is suitable for physical occupations, and intelligence +5 is suitable for legal occupations. No matter which one you choose, it is tasteless for the unsuitable occupation. 1 and 2 are different, the upper limit of life value increases, The base recovery speed is increased, and everyone can benefit."
After thinking about it for a long time, she was in a rather melancholy mood, "Why don't you see 'the upgrade speed has been increased by 1.1 times' and 'the upgrade speed of life skills has been increased by 1.1 times' this time? If there is, I must choose the upgrade speed."
Since there is no, she can only choose 1 and 2.
The free attribute is still full of physical strength, and the data is updated after the upgrade to——
【Name: Yunling】
【Level: 8】
[HP: 860/860]
[Mana: 60/60]
[Attributes: Strength 3 (+42), Agility 4 (+4), Stamina 28 (+28), Intelligence 6, Spirit 6]
Note: Equipment bonuses are in brackets.
[Skills: Heart of Nature (s-level), thorns of thorns (s-level), super fast recovery (s-level). 】
[Basic recovery rate: 16 health points/minute, 1 mana point/minute. 】
Then open the territory properties panel.
[Territory name: Lingyun]
[Level: Small town. (A total of 4 levels, from low to high are camps, villages, towns, cities.)]
【Taxes: 5%. (0-100%, the lord has the right to adjust independently)]

[Unlockable buildings: 10]

Tailor's shop (level 1): omitted.
Dwellings (Level 1): omitted.
Protective cover (level 2): omitted.
Restaurant (level 2): omitted. 】
Looking at the buildings to be unlocked, Yunling found that there were many unheard of new varieties inside.
Ice Warehouse: It can produce ice cubes, refrigerate food, and extend the shelf life. It takes 100 copper coins to build.
Fountain: It can adjust the temperature of the territory, and it takes 100 copper coins to build.
Green Plants: The temperature of the territory can be adjusted, and wood can be obtained by cutting it. It takes 100 copper coins to build.
Water Well: You can adjust the temperature of the territory, you can get drinking water, and it takes 100 copper coins to build.
Farmland: You can hire people to farm and harvest crops steadily. It takes 100 copper coins to build.
Orchard: You can plant fruit trees and harvest berries steadily. It takes 100 copper coins to build.
Livestock Farm: Poultry can be raised, and meat can be obtained stably. It takes 100 copper coins to build.
Wharf: You can build boats and go out for fishing and hunting. It takes 100 copper coins to build.
Fish Pond: You can raise fish and obtain meat steadily. It takes 100 copper coins to build.
Yun Ling looked at the list silently.
It seems to work fine.
All want.
However, there are only 3 unlockable building slots left.
After thinking for a moment, she simply did not unlock it, and she will talk about it later.
Looking at the cost of building upgrades, it takes 10,000 copper coins to upgrade from level 1 to level 2, and 200,000 copper coins to upgrade from level 2 to level 3. The cost is extremely staggering.
On the other hand, when a town is upgraded to a city, the conditions are quite harsh.
[1. Unlock 8 different buildings. (7/8, unfinished)]
[2, 6 buildings are upgraded to level 3. (undone)】
[3. For 30 consecutive days, the number of residents exceeded 3,000. (undone)】
[4. For 30 consecutive days, the daily income of the territory exceeded 50,000 copper coins. (undone)
(Note: Daily income = store income + tax + other)]
[5. The territory has 100 combat system guards and 20 life system NPCs. (undone)】
[Meet the above conditions, pay 1 million copper coins, the territory can be upgraded. 】
Yun Ling looked at the panel and felt that it was full of "cost money".
"It seems that I can't be in a hurry for a while, so take your time." She sighed and upgraded the tailor's shop to level 2.
**
The village rises the town is much bigger than the camp rises the village.
Almost instantly, the residents realized that the territory had changed slightly.
"Look! The territory is expanding outwards!"
"The protective cover has also become larger."
"I just came back, and the system prompt changed to - Welcome back to 'Lingyun Town'."
"There are also rankings. Lingyun Town occupies the first place in all rankings."
Residents, you speak to me, and excitedly describe your new discoveries.
The more we discuss, the more at ease and contented I feel - my territory ranks first in the world! Compared with other territories, I don't know how many times better!
**
The 41st day, summer, disaster day.
Yesterday was still a day of peace, but today has become a disaster day. Yun Ling knew that the system was going to do something wrong. However, soldiers will come to block it, and water will come to cover it. It is useless to worry.
At 8:00 sharp, the members of the collection team arrived.
There are 24 guards (NPCs) around, all of them are good players.
"Go south today." Yun Ling said.
I've explored that direction before.
After walking for about an hour, you can see a pond. There are lotus flowers and water chestnuts growing in the center of the pond, surrounded by blueberries, shepherd's purse, plantain, houttuynia cordata, oyster mushrooms... It's full of ingredients.
As long as people are safely brought over, everyone can enjoy picking.
"Yes." The collection team responded in unison.
Pang Yu was gearing up, waiting to start work.
With the increasing number of residents in the territory, as soon as the resource points were refreshed nearby, countless players flocked to collect all the materials.
Therefore, no edible plants can be seen around Lingyun Town. If you want to gain something, you must be bold and go far.
If he was alone, Pang Yu decided not to get too far from the territory. Now... isn't it just an hour's walk? There is a team, so what are you afraid of!
He was not the only one who thought so, everyone was full of energy and ready to go.
"Let's go." Yun Ling gave an order and took the lead.
Unlike the wind and sunshine in spring, the sun is warm, and the sun in summer is very poisonous.
After walking for a while, everyone felt out of breath, and their foreheads were sweating.
"Strange, yesterday was fine, why are you so tired today?" someone muttered. But she didn't take it to heart, and continued to move forward with the large army.
After walking for 20 minutes, someone exclaimed, "I have a negative state!"
As soon as the voice fell, a few people said, "Me too!"
"I got a prompt too!"
Yun Ling moved freely and was not affected at all. Wen Yan walked quickly to the player, "Set the system prompt to 'Public' mode."
In "Public" mode, messages that were originally only visible to the player themselves can be seen by everyone around them.
The man didn't say anything, and set according to his words.
I saw the panel display, [The sun is scorching hot, you are a little dizzy. Players are infected with negative status, agility -1, physical strength -1. 】
[Note: Physical strength determines health and long-lasting running/combat/action ability. The higher the physical attribute, the less negatively affected by the environment. 】
Looking at players with negative status, they are either half-old children, old women, or young men who are sick.
In short, the stamina value is generally not up to the average standard line.
Yun Ling pondered for a moment and ordered, "Stop moving forward and find a place to rest for ten minutes."
The players were overjoyed and spread out, looking for the shade of a nearby tree to enjoy the shade.
It happened that there was a stream not far away, and one person approached, holding the stream and sending it to his mouth. After that, I slapped the face with the stream water, and the whole person was immediately refreshed.
The first day of summer, why is it so difficult? Yun Ling frowned.
After thinking about it, she took out the hat from the cotton backpack. I wanted to put it on for sick and weak players to strengthen their physical strength, but who would have seen the equipment attributes and found out——
【Name: bucket hat (sun hat)】
Quality: ordinary
Durability: 13/20
Wearing effect: Stamina +1.
Yun Ling, "…"
Block rain in spring, shade in summer, is it so versatile
I thought that after the rainy season, the bamboo hat would be useless, but I didn't expect to use it again in summer.
After the break, Yun Ling asked the guard to distribute hats to the players. After everyone was dressed, she took the collection team back on the road.
This time the journey was much easier than before. After walking for more than half an hour, I was surprised that no one was infected with a negative state.
Arriving at the destination, Yun Ling instructed, "Collection separately."
The players spread out spontaneously, and each got busy.
"It's summer..." Yun Ling whispered softly, narrowing his eyes and lowering his eyebrows.
**
In the spring, the weather is suitable, and Pang Yu can work for two hours without rest.
But the summer sun was scorching hot, and there were no giant trees around the pond to shade him. He sweated like rain not long after working, and his eyes were a little dark.
"Will you get heatstroke if you go on like this?"
As soon as the thought started, I heard Yun Ling say, "Take a rest for ten minutes before continuing, and pay attention to drink plenty of water."
Players are relieved.
Yun Ling asked the guards and others to stay to protect the player, while she herself called out four mages and led the team to hang out nearby.
Next to the mountain stream.
Six hurricane rabbits are drinking water by the stream. Some love clean, and even keep licking their hair.
Just as they relaxed their vigilance, more than a dozen fireballs fell from above their heads.
At the same time, more than 20 wind blades were fan-shaped and attacked from the side and front.
Flanking from both sides, the Hurricane Rabbit was wiped out before it could react.
Copper Coin*21, Rabbit Skin*3, Rabbit Leg*2, Rabbit Meat*3, White Sewing Drawing*1, the item floats in the air.
Yun Ling picked them up one by one, and then told Mage Jia, B, C, Ding, "Find a hidden place to hide. If an animal comes to drink water and throw skills together, you must kill the opponent as soon as they face each other."
"Yes." Master A, B, C, Ding, with a solemn expression, responded in unison.
**
In the grass, Fang Ya held a blue dagger, held her breath, and observed quietly.
There are three black wild boars not far away, with their heads down at the moment, they are drinking water happily as they approach the water source.
One of them was too hot, and twitched its tail irritably. Then I walked into the water and quickly took a cold bath.
1vs3 is a bit difficult, how can she lure the blame away? Seeing the overgrown weeds not far away, Fang Ya's eyes lit up.
[Successful collection, get alfalfa*1. 】
Fang Ya was originally a life player, earning a living by collecting berries, wild vegetables and sweet potatoes.
The resource points near the original territory were dense, and it was easy to support oneself. But after the rainy season, everything changed.
Players are too stingy with the copper coins in their hands, and they are easily reluctant to spend them, for fear that something will happen in the future, and everyone will be trapped in the territory and cannot go out.
Gathering ingredients can fill your stomach, but you can't earn overnight fees. Fang Ya had no choice but to take the initiative to hunt.
For a single player, spawning monsters is not an easy task. Monsters are in groups and must be avoided. Small monsters who are alone or get together in twos and threes are their targets.
Fang Ya searched for a long time to find the three black wild boars. If she didn't do anything, it would be dark.
If you can't get 5 copper coins together before 6 o'clock, you can't stay in the territory for the night at night, and then you will be in trouble!
Thinking of this, Fang Ya strengthened her belief and took action.
She threw alfalfa on the ground, then threw a pebble at the black boar, trying to get his attention.
The black wild boar was hit by a stone and was quite annoyed, looking up and looking around. When it saw something to eat on the ground, it ran over excitedly.
Fang Ya hooked her lips and placed alfalfa a little further away.
The black wild boar was very greedy, so he was hooked by alfalfa and gradually moved away from his friends.
It's now!
Fang Ya held the dagger, meditated on the skills, and wanted to attack the neck of the black boar.
Unexpectedly, the other party was very alert, and she took two steps back when she was bullying.
As a result, the attack failed and the situation reversed.
The black wild boar roared violently, calling for his companions to help.
Fang Ya wanted to retire, but she remembered that the overnight fee was not enough, so she gritted her teeth, her heart was stern, and her face was hard.
That's what she thought, at this moment there is a distance from the other two black wild boars. If you can kill the target before the reinforcements arrive, it is not impossible to retreat completely.
However, to her surprise, the black wild boar was extremely difficult to deal with. During the fight, always protect your vitals and prevent her from hitting.
Fang Ya is not a player who is good at fighting. Seeing that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, he is angry and anxious, and the fight becomes more and more out of order.
When the other two black wild boars rushed in front of her, her heart froze, and there was only one thought in her mind, it was over!
"attack!"
I just heard a female voice, and in the next second, the skills were interleaved and slammed on the black wild boar.
In an instant, two black wild boars died.
Seeing that the companion was gone, the black wild boar was stunned, and the action followed.
Fang Ya seized the opportunity and used all her strength to stab the dagger into the target's vitals.
"Ow!!" The black wild boar screamed in pain.
Fang Ya ignored it and continued to attack.
In a few breaths, the black wild boar fell to the ground.
Fang Ya was bruised and lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
Yun Ling showed up with the mage group and collected the dropped items.
"Thank you for saving me." Fang Ya's eyes were vigilant, "I am willing to use the dropped items as a reward. As long as the 4 dropped copper coins are left to me, the rest, whether it is pork belly or tenderloin, can be given to you."
According to the rules of the game, whoever kills the mobs will own the dropped items.
However, the premise is that the killer must pick up the item within the 20-minute lockout time.
Once the 20 minutes are over, the killer does not pick it up in time, and the system default item is discarded. At that point, anyone can take the item.
If it was normal, Fang Ya would definitely back away for her own safety.
But today... she couldn't let it go.
Yun Ling glanced at it, and said indifferently, "Whoever killed the blame, whoever fell, belongs to whoever fell. Don't worry, no one will rob you."
Fang Ya breathed a sigh of relief.
She hesitated to pick up the dropped items, and she was completely relieved when she saw that the other party had no intention of attacking in the whole process.
"Thank you." This thank you is sincere and heartfelt.
"You're welcome." After speaking, Yun Ling planned to leave with the mage group.
"That," Fang Ya hurriedly stopped people, "Which territory do you live in?"
While speaking, I was thinking in my heart that if there is an opportunity in the future, I must pay tribute.
"Lingyun Town." Yun Ling told her.
Fang Ya was stunned.
Although this is the junction of several nearby territories, Lingyun Town is definitely the one that is farthest away.
She wants to say that if she leaves the territory for too long, she is not afraid of danger? Thinking about it again, with the strength of the opposing team, there is nothing to worry about.
"How's the town environment?" Fang Ya couldn't help but ask.
"It's good." Yun Ling thought for a while, "Craftsmen don't have to worry about running out of food, and life players can also buy a house. The homeless people lived in Lingyun Town for a few days, and then they didn't want to go out."
"Becoming an official resident, will there be a gain status?" Fang Ya asked again.
"HP +100, basic recovery speed +2 HP/min." Yun Ling replied.
Hearing this, Fang Ya was immediately stunned.
"If I have nothing else to do, I'll go first." Yun Ling waved his hand and left with the NPC.
Fang Ya froze in place, unable to return to her senses for a long time.
The village you are currently in, becomes a regular resident to get the "Agility +5" buff. She has always thought that this buff state is quite good, it can speed up the travel speed, and it is convenient for hunting and gathering.
But what did that person just say
Health +100
Base recovery speed + 2 HP/min
Compared with Lingyun Town's buff status, the residence's Agility +5 is scum!
In the doomsday game, there is only one life, what is more important than survival
"If what she said is true, should I live in another territory?"
As soon as the thought came up, it quickly took root in my heart. Fang Ya was so moved that she could not wait to move immediately.
**
The water chestnut is shaped like a cow's horn and usually grows in lakes.
In the evening, returning to Lingyun Town, Yun Ling took out a part of the water chestnut and boiled it, then cut it into two with a knife.
The water chestnut skin is crispy and meaty, and it is perfect for snacks.
Yun Ling took a bite and ate happily.
In the evening, residents either set fire to cook or set up stalls to sell. The smoke from the cooking, the chatter and the price haggling gathered together, it was really lively.
Yunling went shopping while eating water chestnut, looking relaxed and content.
When he walked to a booth and didn't stand still, one person beat his chest and stomped his feet, annoyed beyond words, "Bamboo hats and bamboo umbrellas can block the rain in spring, and can shade in summer, can I use a jacket? It's a loss, a big loss!"
The companion next to him comforted, "Before you experienced it, who would have guessed that the game was set up like this? You'd better keep an eye on it."
"You said it lightly." The person who spoke first muttered, "Bamboo hats, bamboo umbrellas, and shoji are all rain gear. Why can't I think about it and bought a shoji?!"
Wouldn't it be nice if I bought other gear and could continue to use it in the summer
Companion Yuanmu said, "You said it yourself, it is inconvenient to use an umbrella and affects flexibility. The bamboo hat can shield the wind and rain, but the effect is average. Only the shroud can completely block the erosion of rainwater."
The person who spoke first, "..."
The stab was so good, it hurt his heart.
"Forget it, I've already bought it, what else do you want?" The companion said again, "The entire rainy season has passed, and the durability of the equipment has dropped by two-thirds. Do you want to return it?"
"As long as the hood is a professional rain gear, wouldn't it be enough to buy additional sunshade equipment?"
"I still feel that I have suffered a loss and done something stupid." The person who spoke first was gloomy and unhappy.
The companion rolled his eyes and lowered his head to choose the goods for himself, ignoring him.
Yun Ling saw that there was nothing he wanted on the stall, so he walked away.
