late at night.
The surroundings were silent, and most of the players had fallen asleep.
Shi Qing opened his eyes, got up, and quietly walked out of the tent.
The moonlight is like water, and the sound of breathing and snoring is intertwined, and it sounds extraordinarily clear.
In the center of the territory, the archers A, B, C, D, Wu, and I are ready to fight. Not far away, Pastor A, B and C are always ready to support.
There are also several shooter players, staring at the periphery of the protective shield, as if waiting for the prey to be delivered to the door.
Shi Qing was accustomed to it, so he could find a place to stand at will.
At night, after the player fell asleep, monsters often attacked the territory, which she did not know.
The soundproof effect of the tent is not good. She slept soundly at night and was often awakened by screams, exclamations and other sounds, so she always wore earplugs to sleep. Only in this way can you ensure a sound night's sleep, a sound sleep, and a full energy the next day.
During a conversation, she accidentally learned that monsters would sneak into the territory at night, and that's how the xx camp was breached.
At this moment, Shi Qing suddenly woke up—in fact, Lingyun Town was also attacked. It's just that the system guards quietly settled the matter without disturbing anyone.
After realizing this, Shi Qing adjusted his work and rest. Don't sleep at night to make time specifically for hunting.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After waiting for about half an hour, there was a "slamming" sound in the air.
Shi Qing looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a black mass of birds attacking in the sky. Because the whole body is black, the mobs are perfectly hidden in the night, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish the position and number. However, according to a rough estimate, it is less than forty or fifty.
"finally come!"
There was no anxiety in the voice of the shooter player, but instead there was a sense of joy that could not be concealed.
Seeing that the birds were getting closer, and some even started to impact the protective shield, they no longer hesitated, and they shot their bows.
Shi Qing thought to himself, with twenty shooter players and six system guards, the competition was not too fierce. As long as the luck is not extreme, how many should I be able to kill with my own hands
Just as he was thinking, an arrow penetrated the flock of birds, and then burst open. The five birds fell, apparently fatally attacked.
Shi Qing, "…"
It's him again.
Station pile output big devil.
If it weren't for the monsters attacking from one direction every time, I really wanted to avoid him.
Complaining was useless, Shi Qing held his breath and concentrated on aiming and shooting.
Five minutes later, the flock of birds was wiped out, and everyone filed out to pick up and drop them.
Shi Qing looked at the copper coin*21 and the white ring*1, indescribably happy.
I was lucky today, I grabbed four little monsters, and I even picked up a white outfit! If you sell it, you can get a lot of money.
It's not in vain that she adjusts her schedule specially, sleeping during the day and hunting at night.
While thinking about it, the player whispered, "Look, another monster is coming!"
Shi Qing quickly put the dropped items into his backpack, preparing for the next round of battle.

Those with poor economic conditions wear bamboo hats, while those with good economic conditions hold bamboo umbrellas and prepare mung bean soup. Residents can make choices flexibly according to their own circumstances.
in the restaurant.
Zhang Fan looked at the shelf in deep thought.
The assassin said, "We have bamboo hats, and we can go out with enough drinking water. There is no need to waste money on mung bean soup."
The pastor objected, "Be prepared for everything. It's better to buy it before departure than to find it when you need it."
"You don't even look at how much a bowl of mung bean soup costs." The assassin said angrily, "Going out for a day, you dare to guarantee that you can definitely earn so much money?"
The pastor was at a loss for words.
There are seven team members, some are assassins, some are priests. For a time, three votes to three votes, only Zhang Fan has not yet expressed his position.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Fan bought a mung bean soup. He said, "If you don't try a new product, you won't know what the effect will be. Buy one and try it first, and then buy it if it works well. If it doesn't work well, you won't waste money."
There was no objection from the members, and the matter was settled as it was.
In the afternoon, the sun was extremely vicious, and people were sweating all over.
Even if I wear a hat, even if I try my best to pour cold water into my stomach, I still have a lingering feeling of dryness.
Zhang Fan took out the mung bean soup in the bamboo tube, "Let's eat them all."
"So much soup, soup, and water actually sells for 50 copper coins." The assassin was deeply resentful, "This mouthful is probably worth 5 copper coins..."
"Fuck!" A member had just poured a mouthful of mung bean soup into his stomach, and the next second he exclaimed, "The negative state has disappeared! In addition to increasing the basic recovery speed, it can also be protected from the scorching sun!"
If I had to describe it, it was an instant, the whole person was refreshed and the summer feeling faded away.
The scorching sun shines on the body, no longer scalding the skin, but as warm as the spring sunshine.
"I'll try it." Zhang Fan took the bamboo tube and took a sip.
Next, team members take turns tasting.
Someone sighed deeply, "After drinking the mung bean soup, I feel really comfortable. If only I could drink it all day..."
"During the day, what a beautiful dream!" The teammates laughed and scolded, "This thing is expensive."
"I know, I'm just talking." The man showed disapproval.
What happened to the dream? There is everything in the dream, so people are not allowed to look forward to it
The companions changed their positions one after another, but the assassin was still the same as me, with a firm attitude, "I still think it's a waste of money to buy mung bean soup."
"Although wearing a bamboo hat will lead to a negative state after a long time, it will be fine after a short rest, so there is no need to waste money."
"Mung bean soup is good, but with our economic situation, we can't afford it."
"You can't say that. There are times when it's necessary to buy mung bean soup."
Just as Zhang Fan was about to explain further, the pastor stood up with a bang, his voice trembling, "I saw the boss!"
"BOSS? Where is it?"
"Let me see what the boss looks like! I've heard of it before, and it's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes."
"I said, just after drinking the mung bean soup, the negative state has been completely eliminated, and there are additional buffs on the body. Can we try to challenge the BOSS?"
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and my heart is immediately moved.
Even the assassins forgot about the mung bean soup and only thought about how to beat the boss.

In the hot summer, Yun Ling was too lazy to go out, so he simply entrusted the work of leading the team to the Guard Armor.
Seeing that the collection team was drifting away, she turned back to the house, opened the list of buildings to be unlocked, and studied it carefully.
The freezer has been unlocked, and it can refrigerate food and make ice, which is a summer artifact.
Fountains and green plants can adjust the temperature of the territory and increase the comfort of residents. However, these two can't make much money, and it is destined to be a public welfare building.
Wells can adjust the temperature of the territory and can obtain drinking water, which is a good option. The problem is that there is a small stream near Lingyun Town, which can be reached in three to five minutes on foot.
With a stream, water can be drawn at will, and the function of wells is weakened.
Farmland must be selected, and any materials can be grown by themselves.
The effect of orchard is similar to that of farmland, so it is not taken into consideration.
Livestock farm to be determined.
The wharf is generally built on the seaside, and Lingyun Town has no sea area, so it can’t be used if it is unlocked.
Fish ponds can be used to raise fish. But there are many creeks, lakes, and mountain streams around her. She can catch fish from the wild, so why bother to raise them by herself
After sorting out his thoughts, Yunling determined that the farmland must be unlocked, and he could choose between the livestock farm and the blacksmith shop.
After confirming, her eyes darkened and her eyes flickered, "Before unlocking the building, some ideas need to be verified."
**
In the evening, Yunling sat on a small bench holding red bean shaved ice, waiting for the return of the collection team while eating.
Red bean shaved ice is made from red beans, ice cubes, milk and honey.
First make ice cubes into a smoothie, then add red beans, drizzle with honey and milk, and taste it, it is sweet, fragrant, soft, and cool.
Yun Ling took the wooden spoon and put it into his mouth one by one. When the red bean shaved ice was finished, the figure of the armor appeared in sight.
Yun Ling put away the wooden bowl and spoon, walked in front of the players, and asked in a deep voice, "Anyone willing to work overtime at night? Physical work, 10 copper coins per hour for supper."
Hearing this, Pang Yu's eyes lit up and he said loudly, "I do!"
"I think I'll forget it." A little girl summoned her courage.
Yun Ling had no objection, "The principle is voluntary, don't force it. If you want to leave, you can go, and if you want to stay, stay, we will gather at the same time and place tomorrow morning."
As soon as these words came out, seven or eight people left immediately—many people in the collection team were old and weak, women and children, and their physical attributes were low. After a busy day, I was already tired, and I couldn't work overtime at all, nor could I do physical work.
After waiting for a while, a total of 22 people left, and the remaining 8 were all men.
Yun Ling waved his hand, "Come with me."
The group came to the woods near Lingyun Town. She took out a wooden shovel and handed it to the player and NPC. "Let's start digging."
Player, "???"
Pang Yu was stunned and asked cautiously, "Can I ask why?"
Yun Ling said confidently, "The weather is too hot! Even if I stay in the territory, it feels hot and stuffy. I want to try, can I transplant the tree near my residence to adjust the temperature."
The other hesitated, "What if you can't?"
Yun Ling: "Pay as you go, I will think of other ways."
The player was speechless. In addition to being rich and willful, there seems to be no other more appropriate word to describe the person in front of him.
The boss has said so, what is there to hesitate? Dig.
As Pang Yu shoveled the soil, he thought to himself that the guards heard the order, but they did not ask any questions, and started directly.
Look at people's awareness.
No wonder the bosses got the better of them, but the execution is different!
Pang Yu's analysis was well-founded and convinced himself at once.
Seeing that someone took the lead in taking action, others, not to be outdone, followed suit.
ten minutes later.
【Name: Cedar】
Quality: ordinary
Use effect: It can green the environment, adjust the temperature, and cut down to obtain wood.
Note: Replanting can survive within 2 hours off the ground, and the tree will die after 2 hours off the ground.
Sure enough, it can be transplanted.
Yun Ling waved his hand, "Move back!"
Instead of making the player responsible, she picked a few warrior NPCs with super high strength attributes and asked them to move the tree back.
"What is this doing?"
"Why did you bring back a tree?"
"Is it a transplant? Does the game allow it?"
Residents saw it and talked a lot.
Yun Ling just pretended not to hear. She found a suitable position next to the residential area and motioned to everyone, "Dig a hole here and plant the tree in it."
"In the system territory, can you plant trees casually?" The player was suspicious.
But it was the boss who paid, what Yun Ling said and what they did.
Pang Yu held the wooden shovel and was about to dig when the wooden shovel shoveled into the ground as if it had hit a stone.
"It doesn't seem to work..." he whispered.
At the same time, Yunling received a system prompt, "Player "Pang Yu" tried to dig a hole and plant a tree at the coordinates of xxx, xxx in Lingyun Town, do you agree? 】
She clicked "yes" quickly.
"There seems to be a problem with this piece of land. Try another piece." Yun Ling said while re-designating the planting site next to him.
"Then try again." Pang Yu waved the wooden shovel, this time easily digging up the soil.
"It really works!!" He was shocked.
"Okay, let's dig." Yunling greeted his subordinates to work.
Ten minutes later, the cedar was planted, and the system did not respond.
Pang Yu asked, "Are you still digging trees in the woods?"
"Dig!" Yun Ling did not hesitate.
She felt that the number of trees was insufficient, so there was no obvious effect after transplanting.
Plant ten, twenty, thirty trees. If it still doesn't work, she will think of another way.
Under the leadership of Yun Ling, the group set off again in a mighty manner.
Cedar, black pine, arborvitae, cypress... Yunling chooses evergreen trees to start with. She sent someone to dig out the roots of the trees and bring them back to the territory intact to plant them.
There are 30 NPCs and players in total. They are divided into five teams and can dig five trees at a time.
The sky was getting darker.
Yun Ling lit a torch and walked at the forefront, illuminating the way forward for everyone.
When they went back and forth 6 times and planted 30 trees in the territory, the system finally sounded a prompt, [The greening rate of Lingyun Town has reached 5%, and the temperature in the territory has dropped slightly. 】
The breeze blew, drying the sweat on his forehead and dispelling the restlessness in his heart.
Yun Ling clenched his fists, his heart was full of indescribable excitement.
Planting trees really works!
Although the building space is insufficient, the "green plant" cannot be unlocked. But she can send people to transplant to achieve the purpose of adjusting the temperature!
Then she thought again, can the green plants be planted by themselves, and can the wells be dug by themselves? Can a fountain be built by itself? If farmland, orchards, livestock farms, docks, fish ponds can be built, she doesn't mind arranging them all.
"Boss, it's getting late." A player hesitated.
Yun Ling woke up from his thoughts.
She coughed lightly and said gently, "After a busy day, you are all tired, so go back and rest."
The supper was originally mixed-grain steamed buns (no quality) and white porridge (no quality). Seeing everyone working hard, she sent a bowl of mung bean soup (no quality).
The player thanked him in a hurry, and then left happily with supper.
Yunling looked at the lush grove, and a new plan gradually took shape.
**
Pang Yu went home with supper, and before entering the door, he shouted excitedly, "Wife! I have supper today!"
The wife has rested in peace for a while, and her health has improved a lot. Occasionally I can get out of bed and walk around, and when I have time, I can learn to weave straw shoes and subsidize the household.
Hearing this, she raised her eyes in surprise, "Night supper? Where did it come from?"
Pang Yu said proudly, "Working overtime tonight, the boss gave it!"
Then, he recounted the experience of the day in detail.
"No wonder I just received a system prompt saying that the greening rate of Lingyun Town has reached 5%." His wife suddenly realized.
Pang Yu smiled, "I got it too. Don't tell me, the system just displayed 'the temperature in the territory is slightly lower', and I immediately felt cooler. I don't know if it was a psychological factor."
The wife thought for a while, "It doesn't seem like our family has changed much."
"Maybe it's far away? Maybe the greening rate is not high enough?" Pang Yu thought that his head hurt, and he simply stopped struggling. "This is the mung bean soup that I brought back here. You can drink it quickly."
"What about you?" the wife asked.
"I'll just drink white porridge." Pang Yuqian urged, "You have to get well quickly. Let's work together in the future, and things will get better soon."
Hearing this, the wife did not refuse, and drank the mung bean soup one by one.
"It's delicious." The wife wiped the corners of her mouth, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
"There's another steamed bun here, let's share it!" Pang Yu divided the miscellaneous-grain steamed bun in half, and then ate a mouthful of white porridge and a mouthful of steamed buns happily.
Although life is hard, but the important people are still around, so it doesn't feel hard.
**
Next to the grove, the players continued to stroll around like visiting the scenic spot.
"I said how people go to the trouble of transplanting trees. You see, it's different with a green belt. The neighborhood is obviously cooler than other places!"
"There are more than 30 people in the team. It took three or four hours to move the trees. Can ordinary people do it?"
"Yeah, if you have that time, it's better to weave an extra pair of straw sandals and make some money to spend."
"Whatever you want, I can't stand the heat anyway, so tomorrow I'm going to find someone to plant two trees next to my house!"
"In the restaurant, a bowl of mung bean soup sells for 50 copper coins. It takes a few pairs of straw sandals to earn it back? It's better to call three or five friends, and let's plant trees together. Think about it, mung bean soup is only for a while, but the effect of trees is not good. Permanent. And it not only benefits myself, but everyone around me can follow suit."
Players have their own opinions and say anything. It was not until it was late at night that they gradually dispersed.
Neighbor Lu Chuan was making up for sleep in the afternoon, and when he woke up, he saw an extra row of groves in front of his house.
Walking on the road, the breeze is gentle, bringing a touch of coolness. Compared to before, it was stuffy and hot, and I don't know how refreshing it was.
"Looks like she got her light again." Lu Chuan sighed softly, his voice almost inaudible.
**
late at night.
Most of the people were asleep, and the shooter players came out to play.
Shi Qing took a glance and found that there were more people than before. I don't know if it was informed by relatives and friends, or other players themselves noticed it.
Stopping and staring outside the territory, she waited for the mobs to arrive at the door. Although there is someone, they are destined to only drink soup, but that is better than nothing, right
After thinking about it, I saw that the big demon king of the station pile output quickly walked towards the residential area.
Shi Qing was surprised, "What's wrong? Don't you participate in the hunt today?"
Thinking of this possibility, her heart was hot and she was looking forward to tonight.
near the green belt.
One person is sneaking around, holding a wooden shovel, trying to dig up the trees - it is much easier than leaving Lingyun Town, struggling to carry the trees back, digging holes to plant them, and directly robbing others.
The surrounding area of the grove was obviously cooler than other places, and he was so greedy when he looked at it, that's why he thought about it.
Who knew that the wooden shovel had just shoveled into the ground, and the system prompted——
[Name: Cedar planted by player "Yunling"]
Quality: ordinary
Use effect: It can green the environment, adjust the temperature, and cut down to obtain wood.
Note: Cedar belongs to the private property of player "Yunling". Only with her own consent, other players can transplant and cut down.
tree thief, "..."
The spicy chicken game is too cruel!
Directly cut off his back path.
He had no choice but to stop, just as he was about to go back, he unexpectedly encountered a evil star blocking the road, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, you came to steal the tree, you are very leisurely."
"Who stole the tree? Who stole the tree!" The man refused to admit it, "I just couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk."
Lu Chuan lowered his head, "With a wooden shovel?"
The man had a tough attitude, "You control me!"
Lu Chuan was too lazy to talk to him, "Next time, pay attention to travel safety when leaving Lingyun Town, and beware of accidents."
What's the meaning
After leaving the safe area, this person will attack him
Thinking of this, the tree thief's tone became flustered, "I don't understand what you are talking about! I'm sleepy, go to bed now!"
After he finished speaking, he trotted all the way and ran away.
Lu Chuan circled around the woods and made sure there was no second tree thief, so he returned the same way.
**
In the early morning of the next day, several recruitment notices appeared in the mission hall.
[Hire players who can dig wells, 50 copper coins/day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as summer drinks, if you are interested, you can contact Yunling. 】
[Hire players who can dig fountains, 50 copper coins/day, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as summer drinks, those who are interested can contact Yunling. 】
[Hire players who will dig fish ponds, 50 copper coins/day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and drinks to cool off the heat. Those who are interested can contact Yunling. 】
Recruitment announcements are released in the name of the player, not in the name of the system territory, just like an ordinary team recruiting talents. It's just that the recruits are specific objects with special talents.
After setting, Yun Ling started to eat breakfast.
Not long after, a player named "Hu Dacheng" added her as a friend, saying that he could dig wells and dig fish ponds.
Yunling passed the request and made an appointment with the other party about the time and place to meet.
As soon as they met, both of them were stunned.
"Yunling?" Hu Dacheng asked uncertainly.
"It's me." Yun Ling nodded and admitted.
Standing in front of her was a black and thin man selling maltose.
Yun Ling was slightly surprised, "In addition to making syrup and sugar cubes, you can also dig wells and fish ponds?"
The same person, how come this one is so versatile
Hu Dacheng smiled awkwardly, "My family lives in the countryside. I used to do these jobs a lot, so I can do them all."
Yun Ling looked at him strangely. That appearance, as if looking at the multi-functional intelligent NPC.
"Let's talk about it, how do we hit the well?" Yun Ling took the exam with a heart.
Seeing the other party asking about his field of expertise, Hu Dacheng was refreshed and talked incessantly.
"First of all, we must judge whether there is water in the ground based on experience. Some wells have been drilled for a year or two, but they will not produce water for a long time. Some wells have been drilled and have been used for more than ten years without any problem."
"The circular wells generally drilled in the village are 1-2 meters in diameter and 20-30 meters deep. These are shallow wells, and special machinery is required for deep wells, and the depth can be several hundred meters."
"Like the old man in the village, who can dig a well at any point and go down five or six meters and you can touch the water! Sometimes it rains so hard that if you don't cover the well, water will come out."
Yun Ling, "…"
Interlaced like mountains, this is true.
She listened to Hu Dacheng's ramble and said a lot, but she didn't understand.
A brief summary, it is probably: inexperienced and disorderly command, digging very deep will not necessarily produce water, and water will not necessarily last for a long time. If you have experience, choose the land well, you can dig a well and eat it for a lifetime.
Yun Ling listened with a big head and couldn't help interrupting, "In this way, you can walk around Lingyun Town first to see which places are suitable for drilling wells. When it is determined, let's sit down and talk slowly."
"Okay." Hu Dacheng simply responded.
**
At 8:00 in the morning, the collection team set off on time.
Yun Ling didn't follow, instead, he and Hu Dacheng were hanging out in the territory.
At this time, the system sounded prompts one after another, "Player "Zhang Fan" tried to dig a hole and plant a tree at the coordinates of xxx, xxx in Lingyun Town, do you agree? 】
[Player "You Qingwen" tried to dig a hole and plant trees at the coordinates of xxx, xxx in Lingyun Town, do you agree? 】
[Player "Zheng Mingyue" tried to dig a hole and plant trees at the coordinates of xxx, xxx in Lingyun Town, do you agree? 】
…
Yun Ling saw the words "plant trees" and clicked agree without exception.
Two hours later, the system issued a new prompt, [The greening rate of Lingyun Town has reached 10%, and the temperature in the territory has dropped slightly. 】
"Does this mean that planting trees will significantly affect the surrounding environment in a small area, and slightly affect the entire territory?" Yun Ling thought.
Before she could figure it out, Hu Dacheng found out the results, "I've seen it, there are five suitable locations, just right, southeast, northwest and central."
"No other suitable?" Yun Ling confirmed to the other party.
Hu Dacheng answered honestly, "Some people can fight if they want to, but the effect is not very good. Either there is not much water, or the water must go deep into the ground."
"That's it." Yun Ling pondered for a moment, then offered the conditions, "You are responsible for digging the wells. There are five wells in total. For each well drilled, I will give you 500 copper coins. During the period, three meals are included, and summer drinks will be provided."
500 copper coins? This is worth a brand new blue outfit from the system store! It is also equivalent to a suite in the territory!
Hu Dacheng's eyes widened, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly, "Why is this so embarrassing..."
"You're welcome, you helped me a lot by digging the well." The next second, Yun Ling's expression turned cold, "I will work hard, I will not treat the hero badly. But if the place is not good, it will be a waste of time, Waste of money... I promise, you and your family will not be able to stay in Lingyun Town in the future."
"Don't worry." Hu Dacheng said seriously, "I'm used to doing this, so I'm sure."
Yun Ling said meaningfully, "I also hope that things will go smoothly. When the time comes, you will take the money, and I will have a well, and everyone will be happy."
