"Mage! Attack!" the captain shouted.
The team members worked together, desperately throwing skills.
However, physical attacks are ineffective, and only fire spells can damage shadow monsters.
In the blink of an eye, a player died.
Without waiting for other people to react, the shadow monster "swish" and hid in the shadow of another player.
"Ah!! It's staring at me!" Seeing the continuous drop in blood volume, the man was inexplicably flustered.
"Calm down!" The captain shouted, "Take out all the bandages in the backpack and tie them on yourself."
Then he turned his head and gestured to the pastor, "Don't be stupid! Add blood to him and hang his life."
Finally, he greeted the team members, "Let's go together, gather fire and kill the boss!"
In a sudden change, everyone was in disarray. As the order was issued, the team members gradually regained their composure and attacked in an orderly manner.
The two sides, you come and go, start a tug of war. Who wins and who loses depends only on whether the player's HP is exhausted first, or the shadow monster boss is killed first.
When the priest cast out the last recovery skill, the shadow monster just shattered and turned into a plume of blue smoke.
The attacked player's legs went weak and collapsed to the ground.
"I survived..." He was still in shock, as if he had been frightened a lot.
Purple equipment*3, purple skill card*1, blue equipment, white equipment, and a number of materials, which are quite rewarding.
When they saw the unfortunate death of the members, they did not feel the joy of the harvest at all, but all fell into silence.

Lingyun Town.
The old man Zhang held the straw and weaved it in a hurry. As time passed, a half-human-high grass basket gradually took shape.
The system prompts, [Congratulations on making a furniture "grass basket". 】
[Experience value +5. 】
[The proficiency is sufficient, and the life skill "Elementary Grass Art" is upgraded to "Intermediate Grass Art". 】
Satisfied, the old man called Zhang Hongbo, his grandson, "The new straw basket is ready, let's sell it for money."
Now the players in Lingyun Town have a better life, and many people have moved into wooden houses and bought furniture.
The straw basket has a large volume, which can not only store clothes, but also can be used to hold foods such as cured meat, mustard, and wowotou. The sales are very popular.
Although bamboo baskets made by bamboo craftsmen have similar effects, there are few people who can make them. Every time the finished product is ready, it will be sold out as soon as it is taken out, so there is no worry about selling it.
Zhang Hongbo took the straw basket and tried to discuss, "Grandpa, someone in the wooden house next door has changed hands, why don't we buy it?"
Each player can only purchase one dwelling. If someone wants to move into a stone house and has bought a wooden house before, they must first transfer the old house and then buy a new one.
Anyone who can afford a stone house is not bad. Sometimes, in order to transfer as quickly as possible, the listed price is slightly lower than the normal price.
Now that there is a chance, Zhang Hongbo wants to take over.
"How about that?" Old Man Zhang blew his beard and stared, "I said I would save money to buy you a big house! In the future, I will marry a wife and live in a 20-square-meter wooden house. In the future, more people will live?"
"The future will be discussed later." Zhang Hongbo said seriously, "I have spare money in my hand, I would rather buy a few more winter clothes and stock up on food."
The old man didn't say a word.
"It's not worth spending all your money on the house." Zhang Hongbo persuaded patiently, "Grandpa, I know you love me, but I also hope you can have a better life. I don't want to eat, I don't want to wear, day and night. It's not necessary to weave it."
The old man struggled for a long time, and finally sighed, "Okay, I will listen to you."
**
Every once in a while, Yunling will receive news that the territory has been breached. After entering the autumn, the number of occurrences is less.
Looking at the small map at this time, you will find that the dots representing the territory have been greatly reduced, and the vicinity of Lingyun Town has become obviously empty.
"Would you like to take the collection team to another place to take a look?" Yun Ling thought to himself.
At this moment, the system prompt automatically appeared, [Player "Hu Haoyu" tried to dig a fish pond at xxx, xxx coordinates in Lingyun Town, do you agree? 】
[Player "Zheng Jiayi" tried to dig a well at xxx, xxx coordinates in Lingyun Town, do you agree? 】
There were already five wells, and there was no need to build any more. Yun Ling chose "No" without hesitation.
As for the fish ponds…
Yun Ling glanced at the small map and found that the location of the fish pond was actually in the center of the territory, adjacent to the residential area.
What fish ponds are dug next to the residential area? It will be expanded later.
Thinking of this, Yun Ling categorically refused the player's request.

Cloud Village.
Recently, God has given me a meal, and everyone has a good life. They are all in good spirits and high spirits.
At noon, the only caravan came to the village.
The leader set up a stall on the spot, "Sell straw sandals! 30 copper coins a pair!"
"30 copper coins a pair? So cheap?" The residents couldn't believe it.
Who knows that the other party will continue to sell, "Sell the mink clothes, 30 copper coins each."
"Sell a wooden shield, 40 copper coins each."
"Selling cloth armor, 40 copper coins each."
…
The goods brought by the caravan are extremely varied, and the prices are unbelievably low. Immediately someone rushed up with red eyes, "Where is the wooden shield? I want to buy it!!"
Why is the price so cheap
Wouldn't it be a loss
Where do you get so much equipment
There are a lot of suspicious groups, but the players of Yunwu Village can't take it seriously. At this moment, there is only one thought in their minds - buy is to earn!
So the next second, the residents gathered around and said, "I want to buy it!"
"Bring me two pairs of straw sandals."
"I want a wooden shield and cloth armor."
…
Caravan members are so busy that sometimes they don't even have time to collect the money.
Captain Rensselaer took a break from his busy schedule and tried to estimate the profit. After calculating the result, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his breathing stagnated.

Sunset Village.
Dong Haotian took a sweet stick and lay in the tent to rest.
The sweet bar is crunchy and delicious and tastes sweeter than sugar. It's rare and hard to come across.
Dong Haotian happened to meet it, and he folded it as a snack.
"Winter is coming soon, can you survive the next season?" He was very uncertain, "Would you like to live in another territory?"
As soon as the thought arises, it cannot be dismissed.
In the past, Dong Haotian believed that the territory of the system was similar, and it was the same wherever he lived. But recently, he has gradually changed his mind.
Not all the inhabitants of the Territory are growing indifferent and living insensitively.
Not all players struggle to survive, forever teetering on the edge of death.
He was just unlucky, and he didn't meet anyone who was powerful and reliable.
Inadvertently, Dong Haotian once again recalled the woman who saved his life.
Young, beautiful, leads the team, has many purple outfits, and can afford S-level skills. The most important thing is to be willing to lend a helping hand when you are weak.
What kind of environment can cultivate such a strong person
If it was her territory, maybe the law and order would be much better than other places
Anyway, it's the same wherever you live, why don't you go to Lingyun Town
Dong Haotian thought about moving many times, but he couldn't make up his mind.
"There are only a few days left in autumn, and I don't know what the bear looks like in winter."
"If there is anything you want to do, hurry up and do it in these few days. Stock up on grain, stock up on equipment, stock up on equipment, earn money, and make padded jackets. Wait for a few days to turn back into a disaster. Today, no matter what you want to do, it's not convenient now."
The chatter suddenly sounded outside the tent. Soon, the voice turned lower, and it was obvious that the other party had gone far.
Dong Haotian got up quickly, his face solemn, "Yeah, when the disaster comes, you can't leave if you want to. You must make a decision as soon as possible."
After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind - to pack up tomorrow morning, he was going to move to Lingyun Town to live.
…
The path of autumn is not difficult to walk. When encountering mobs, just avoid them far away and get rid of them.
Speechless all the way.
It took Dong Haotian nearly two hours to reach Lingyun Town successfully.
Before entering the territory, he made psychological construction for himself countless times. As long as Lingyun Town is similar to Wanxia Village, or slightly better in some respects, the decision to move is right.
In fact, given the situation in Wanxia Village, it's not easy to be worse than it... The territory that is extremely bad has been breached long ago.
Thinking of this, Dong Haotian felt inexplicably relieved, and strode inside.
“Sells oven-baked bread! Delicious oven-baked bread!”
"Maltose! Fragrant maltose!"
"Selling straw sandals! There are also straw baskets and straw mats, you can choose!"
Dong Haotian rubbed his eyes, almost thinking he was wrong.
Every household raises chickens and ducks. Some people set up vegetable gardens behind their houses. The children reluctantly leave around the maltose stand, which is clearly the same as before.
Is this really system territory, not a country town in peacetime
Dong Haotian stayed where he was.
The backpack was slit open to reveal the sweet rod inside. When a resident saw it, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Are you selling the sweet sticks?"
Dong Haotian, "?"
He hesitated, "Someone bought this too?"
"Look at what you said, sweet sticks are rare! Why isn't anyone buying them?" the man said excitedly, "How about 2 copper coins each?"
This is a snack he casually folded, of course it is good to sell it for money.
Dong Haotian received the money and handed out the sweet stick.
"Someone here sells sweet sticks?!"
I don't know who shouted, and everyone around heard it, and the residents all looked at Dong Haotian.
At the same time, someone quickly approached, "Are you selling sweet sticks? Bring me two."
"I also want."
"Oh, this sweet stick is really fragrant. I remember the days when I used to eat sweet sticks."
In the blink of an eye, all the sweet sticks were sold out.
Dong Haotian was in a daze while holding more than 30 copper coins.
Why are copper coins so easy to earn
How can you make money without going out hunting
Sweet sticks can only be used as snacks, not as meals, so many people are willing to pay for them...
Dong Haotian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly slapped his head in annoyance, "Why did you come to settle in such a good place now!"
**
Autumn is the harvest season.
Anyone who sees more firewood, more grain, and more copper coins at home will feel happy.
Unconsciously, the text in the upper right corner changed to, "101st day, winter, disaster day."
This morning, Yun Ling had just woken up when he suddenly noticed a chill in the room. As if overnight, winter came.
"Hey - why is it so cold?"
Yun Ling quickly got up and put on the down jacket he bought first.
This is before the end of the day, the player went to the shopping mall to collect it, and it is said that they have hoarded a lot of time. I wanted to hoard it, but later found that the non-game items could not cope with the bad weather, so I sold it half for free, and disposed of it cheaply.
Yun Ling bought one purely to verify his conjecture.
Unsurprisingly, the upper body of the down jacket did not feel warm at all. The air leaked from all over the body, and the cold air penetrated directly into the body.
"It really doesn't work." Yun Ling gave up, took off his down jacket, and put on the cotton-padded jacket, cotton pants, cotton shoes, fleece cap, gloves, and scarf that he had prepared in advance.
Every time I wear it, I feel better.
When she was fully armed and wrapped herself tightly, she finally realized what warmth was.
"It's a cold day, wouldn't it freeze to death without winter clothes?" Yun Ling felt deeply.
Out of the stone house, she knocked on the neighbor's door to send warmth.
Lu Chuan was rude and accepted it calmly.
On the other hand, You Qingwen was a little confused, "Does this count as brushing NPC (lord) favorability to get super rare equipment?"
Although the cold-proof items are of white and blue quality, the additional attributes are not high, but it is super practical! Put it on and it won't get cold right away!
Hearing this, Yun Ling said solemnly, "That's what you deserve, as most people can't get such a high degree of favorability."
You Qingwen, "…"
You're right, I'm speechless.
She was no longer polite, and put away all the clothes, shoes and hats.
**
Although the temperature has dropped sharply, it is not the worst for the time being, because it has not snowed yet.
In order to prevent the inconvenience of travel in the future, the hunting team went out as usual, hoping to gain something.
Yun Ling motioned for the guards to distribute cotton-padded coats, and then said solemnly, "The cold-proof items are limited, so we can only provide you with one cotton-padded coat at present. If anyone can't bear it now, say it in time and don't insist."
The members of the collection team nodded in unison, but no one left.
Seeing this, Yun Ling waved his hand, "Let's go."
As before, the guards led a team, and Yun Ling led a team, and everyone explored in different directions.
The moment he stepped out of the territory, Yun Ling paused slightly, "It's so cold."
Staying in the stone house, she said that it was cold, more because the temperature changed too much and could not adapt for a while.
It's cold now, but it's really cold. The cold wind pierced the bones, the fingers froze quickly, and the movement became slow.
Why is there such a large temperature difference between inside and outside the territory
Yun Ling suddenly thought of green plants. To adjust the temperature in the territory, should it mean that it is adjusted downwards in summer and upwards in winter
Before she could understand, a little girl's teeth chattered, "It's too, too cold."
"With only one padded coat, I'm afraid it won't last long." Pang Yu was worried.
Yun Ling's heart suddenly sank. Getting through the winter seems more difficult than expected.
Winter clothes are in short supply, and it is difficult for ordinary players to get one. However, in the current situation, without wearing cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants, cotton shoes, and fleece hats, there is no way to spend too long in the wild...
After thinking about it, she said, "On the first day of winter, you don't have to go too far, just stroll around the neighborhood first."
In case of an accident, you can return to the territory in time to rest.
I heard that as long as they are active near the territory, the spirit of the gathering team will be lifted, and the atmosphere will ease a lot.
"Go over there and have a look." Yun Ling walked ahead and led the way.
Passing by a berry forest on the way, she did not stop the gathering team, but continued to walk forward.
Walking, walking, and meeting a piece of pepper, Yun Ling ordered the player to work.
About twenty-five minutes after leaving the territory, one person warned, "I am infected with a negative state."
Yun Ling walked to the player's side, "Let me see."
That person actively set to "public" mode.
The panel shows, [The wind is cold, your hands and feet are cold. Players are infected with negative status, strength -1, agility -1, and physical strength -2. 】
[Note: Physical strength determines health and long-lasting running/combat/action ability. The higher the physical attribute, the less negatively affected by the environment. 】
… It took less than half an hour to travel, and some people couldn’t hold it.
You must know that after spring, summer, and autumn, the level of the members of the collection team is higher than before!
In addition, most of them are agile and stamina points. Every level up, add 2 Dexterity and 1 Stamina, or 1 Dexterity and 2 Stamina. It stands to reason that the resistance capacity is significantly increased.
Is the winter too hard, or is the difficulty of the game gradually increasing? There was a faint premonition in Yun Ling's heart.
After she settled down, she said, "Be patient. After two hours of shopping, everyone will go back to rest together."
"Okay." The man nodded without any objection.
Autumn has just ended, and there are many edible crops.
Yunling sent people to pick Chaotian peppers, millet peppers, cotton cloth, and sweet potatoes. They were about to harvest sisal hemp. The player who was first infected with the negative state hurriedly reported, "The situation has become serious."
The panel shows, [You feel very cold, and your limbs are frozen. Players are infected with negative status, strength -2, agility -2, and stamina -4. 】
Generally speaking, the negative state is divided into three stages.
The first stage, in a harsh environment, is slightly affected.
In the second stage, the degree is aggravated and it is not suitable for continued action.
The third stage, sick, weak and unable to move normally for several days.
As a full-strength player, Yun Ling has extremely high resistance. Although I felt a little cold, I didn't get a negative state. At this time, seeing his subordinates entering the second stage, he couldn't help but be speechless-the body bones are too weak...
"No more shopping, go back first," she said.
Walking on the road, Yun Ling suddenly remembered a question: Without her to lead the other team, wouldn't it be the same as usual, going out for a whole day? !
Thinking of this, she felt something was going to happen.
Unexpectedly, returning to the territory, the guards have led the team back ahead of schedule. Yun Ling was surprised, "Why did you come back?"
Do you know that you can't wander outside in the winter? So smart!
The bodyguard lowered his head, "Not long after we left Lingyun Town, we were attacked by ice elements. There are more than 30 hostile units in total, and they have a lot of control skills, so they couldn't bring everyone back safely..."
Yun Ling's pupils shrank suddenly, "How many people have an accident?"
The bodyguard reported, "Members of the collection team -2, guards -2."
Yun Ling was silent for a long time before asking, "What about the equipment and skills?"
The armor replied, "After clearing the ice element, all the dropped items were brought back together."
Yun Ling didn't say a word, and it took a long time before he spoke slowly, "Return the skills and equipment dropped by the members of the collection team to the family. In addition, give 300 copper coins as a pension."
"The guard's equipment and cards are distributed to other people (NPCs), so that they can learn the skills to the fullest."
"Yes." The bodyguard responded in a deep voice.
Seeing Yu Jing, a member of the collection team, with a look of fear on his face, Yun Ling disbanded the team, "Go back and rest, and won't go out today."

in the mine.
A group of young adults brandished shovels and worked hard to mine.
Suddenly, one person received a system prompt, [The wind is cold, your hands and feet are cold. Players are infected with negative status, strength -1, agility -1, and physical strength -2. 】
The man almost exploded, "I'm wearing a cotton-padded coat, why am I still in a negative state?"
The companion next to you said quietly, "Because you only wore cotton-padded clothes, no cotton-padded trousers, and no leather gloves."
That person, "… "
He also knows that wearing cotton trousers and leather gloves can keep you warm. Isn't that tight money and want to save some money
The man was unwilling and complained in a low voice, "It's okay to have agility -1, why deduct strength and stamina?"
Strength determines damage ability and weight bearing capacity.
Agility determines reaction speed and movement speed.
Stamina determines health and sustained running/combat/action ability.
Mining is physical activity.
When the strength is low, the efficiency is low, and the work is particularly slow.
The agility is low, the reaction speed is slow, and it has almost no effect.
If your physical strength is low, you will be exhausted after a long time. If you don't rest, the negative state will intensify, and the attributes will be weakened even more.
Therefore, he doesn't care about the decrease in the agility attribute, but he is very concerned about the weakening of the strength and stamina attributes.
"The deductions are already deducted, can you still reason with the system?" his companion advised him, "Take a rest, this state is not suitable for continuing to work."
The man had no choice but to stop mining and walked to the side and sat down by himself.

field.
A team of five is wandering around.
The archer shrank his neck and complained in a low voice, "What the hell is this weather? It's too cold!"
"There is no way." The mage looked helpless, "There are only a few tailors in the territory, and the number of cold-proof equipment made every day is limited. It doesn't matter, you can't buy it at all."
In the past, he always felt that by earning more copper coins, he could buy anything he wanted.
Later, I found out that I did a good job, but there are many people who are stronger than him! He plans to spend money on equipment, and some people are willing to spend more money.
So he went back and forth, even if he had money, he did not buy cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants, cotton shoes, fleece hats, or gloves.
"Be patient for a few days." The Master is not sure whether he is comforting his companions or comforting himself. "When the top teams put on winter clothes, it will be our turn."
"Who told us that we didn't specifically train players with life skills? Everyone else raises their own tailors, makes their own cold-proof equipment, and gives priority to their own teams when they have finished products."
The archer hummed, "Don't look at it, how much does it cost to cultivate a life player? Even if you work hard to raise it, the rewards and rewards are not necessarily proportional."
"Instead of cultivating it yourself, it is better to buy ready-made."
"There is an urgent shortage of winter clothes now, but after a while, when the tailors are freed up, there will definitely be excess equipment to sell."
The pastor was quite resentful, "So on the first day of winter, why do we take the risk to walk around? Can't we come out after buying winter clothes?"
The mage said angrily, "I can't do anything by staying in the territory. What a waste of time? It's better to go out for a walk and gain something."
The pastor couldn't tell the irritability in his heart, "In this winter, shouldn't all the mobs go to hibernate? It's been a while since I came out, why didn't I see a monster?"
As soon as the voice fell, the system prompted, "You feel very cold, and your limbs are frozen. Players are infected with negative status, strength -2, agility -2, and stamina -4. 】
"My day!" The pastor couldn't help but swear, "If you go on shopping, your attributes will be detained, so what's wrong?"
This is actually just an exaggeration. After all, each team member has 2-3 purple outfits, and the attributes are quite powerful.
It's just that no matter how high the attribute is, he can't resist the cold. He can't wait to faint on the spot on this cold day.
The mage wanted his teammates to be patient, but before he could say anything, he also received the same system prompt.
Immediately, his lips pursed into a straight line, and he couldn't say a word.
In the entire team, only two warriors have high physical attributes, and they are still in the first stage of negative state. But even so, they were not cold.
"Well, let's go back, shall we?" a soldier suggested.
"It's a vote to come out, and a vote when you go back, the minority obeys the majority." The priest finished his words with shivering teeth, "I agree to go back, how about you?"
"I can't even draw the bow with frozen hands, what else can I hit?" The archer was firm, "I want to go back to town."
3 votes in favor, the proposal passed.
Seeing this, the mage gave up the struggle. He took the lead in walking, "walk around, go back, I can't take it anymore."
"Then you're still clamoring to come out??" The priest was irritable. He quickened his pace and hurried back, hoping to return to the territory in the next second.
**
The weather greatly affects the normal activities of players.
Except for a few teams who have prepared cold-proof items in advance, they can hunt normally. Others either stay in the territory for the winter, or try to go out and then come back from the freeze.
"Do nothing in winter and stay in the territory honestly."
"Anyway, I have a lot of food in reserve in autumn, enough to eat for 20 days, so I'm fine if I don't go out."
"The temperature in the territory is cold, let alone in the wild. If you don't want to die, don't go out."
It didn't take long for the news that "you can't go out in winter" spread to every corner of Lingyun Town.
"Anyway, there is nothing to do in the territory, why don't you make something delicious?"
The residents did not say hello to each other, but they acted together.
Someone took out the purple potato and ground it into a mashed purple potato. The rice is then ground into rice flour to make rice cakes. The upper and lower layers of rice cakes, the middle layer of purple potatoes, and the purple potato steamed rice cakes are ready.
Some people cut potatoes into strips, then fry them, add spices such as hot sauce and salt, and simply fry potatoes.
There is an experienced cook who uses flour, salt, and cooking oil to make the dough. When the dough is ready, cut it into strips, pour in chili oil and vinegar, the taste is amazing.
There are also people who have specially learned the craft before the end of the world, gather the materials, and perform live performances to make Indian flying cakes. The blended flour is flying in the air, and the scene is extremely spectacular. The flying cake made is delicious, rich and crispy, and it tastes crunchy.
…
Before you know it, Lingyun Town has become a "food town", and the aroma of food wafts in the air.
