Day 132.
In the early morning, Kang Yue woke up leisurely, and the first thing after getting up was to check if there were any mobs around the territory.
"Warrior stand up!!"
Across the distance, I saw players and mobs fighting. The vigil player looked tired, afraid that he had not rested all night.
Seeing this, Kang Yue's heart froze. She thought the monster attack was just an emergency, and it would be fine in a day or half. Who knows that there is a steady stream of monsters, and there is no end in sight.
How can I go out and collect
How do you go out hunting
Kang Yue held her forehead in trouble.
"It seems that you can only choose an area and join the territorial offensive and defensive battle." She took a deep breath and looked solemn, "I hope that large teams will not be so domineering, at least leave some small fish and shrimps for single players."
That being said, she felt a little uneasy when she saw many large team members who were rampant and arrogant.
But monsters surrounded the town, and they couldn't get out. She couldn't wait to starve to death. She could only bite the bullet and give it a try.
After some investigation, Kang Yue chose to go to the south.
In order to avoid arousing the hostility of the other party, she was cautious, step by step, and tentatively approached.
"Hey, where did you come from? Do you have a team?" An archer saw her and asked.
"I don't have a team, so I usually hunt alone. Now... I can't get out, and my source of income is cut off." Kang Yue answered truthfully.
"Then do you want to join us?" The archer asked casually, "Let's organize a group, distribute the drops according to the contribution, and try to ensure fairness."
What kind of fairy team is this? He even took the initiative to accept her, and said that the drops will be distributed according to the contribution, and try to ensure fairness!
Kang Yue was stunned.
After thinking about it, she asked, "Can you leave on your own if you don't feel comfortable staying there?"
What if, under the guise of fairness, she was deceived to be free labor? have to guard against.
"Yes." The archer said cheerfully, "The four directions are the same wherever you go."
"There are top bosses in Lingyun Town watching. It is said that anyone who robs and falls, attacking players in the same camp will be directly expelled from the territory."
"There are players who don't believe in evil and insist on trying the law with their own hands, and they will be cold. How many people have seen it with their own eyes, and now they are scrupulously fighting monsters. If they don't dare to mess around, just put a hundred hearts on it!"
Kang Yue was stunned, and after a long time, he sighed and sighed, "Lingyun Town is really a good place."
It's doomsday and it's still in order, and it's too friendly to ordinary players!
**
When he got up in the morning, Yun Ling first asked the guards privately to understand the situation. All players who disobeyed the order and relied on force and cleverness to benefit themselves were kicked out of Lingyun Town, and then they leisurely paced and ate breakfast.
"Sorghum rice! Fragrant sorghum rice!"
"Sweet potato pancakes! Sweet and crispy sweet potato pancakes!"
"Roujiamo, delicious Roujiamo!"
Walking along the street, you can hear the sound of hawking. The aroma of the food and snacks drifted away, almost pulling out the greedy worms in the stomach.
Yunling stopped in front of the sorghum rice, "How to sell it?"
When the stall owner saw someone asking, he immediately gave an introduction, "This is authentic sorghum rice! It contains sorghum, wild vegetables, sauces, and shredded pork. How fragrant do you smell it? Such a big bowl costs only 10 copper coins!"
Yun Ling came over after smelling the fragrance, and checked the properties of the item.
【Name: Sorghum Rice】
Quality: ordinary
Use effect: Basic recovery speed + 1 HP/min (lasts 1 hour)
Compared with the food in the restaurant, it is cheap and good quality.
"I want a bowl." Yun Ling took out the money decisively.
"Okay." The stall owner happily accepted the money, and then handed out the sorghum rice, "Just eat here, and return the wooden bowl and wooden spoon to me."
"Okay." Yun Ling found a seat and sat down, holding the wooden bowl and eating slowly.
Looking at the territory panel, I saw the data display——
【Name: protective cover】
Health: 13636/20000
Use effect: Block incoming enemies.
Base Regeneration Rate: 2 HP/min
It is like an old man who is dying, trying to restore health, but always hovering on the edge of death.
Wouldn't things be better if the shield was upgraded to level 3? Yun Ling thought about it. If nothing else, at least the basic recovery speed will be improved.
However, to upgrade a level 2 building to level 3, it costs 100,000 copper coins!
After the upgrade, there is almost no spare cash on hand. In case the offensive is fierce, the protective cover is at stake...
Yun Ling thought about it over and over again and decided to wait a little longer.
**
After the meal, Yun Ling went to the blacksmith shop to pick up the small animal trap he made.
Seeing the finished product, she was startled, "Why only 22?"
Blacksmith Jia frowned, "Iron ore is needed to make animal traps. I used a lot of iron pots, pickaxes, kitchen knives, and iron shields in the past. At present, there are not enough materials, so I can only make so much."
Yun Ling reacted.
Residents are trapped in the territory, unable to gather, hunt, and of course dig mining.
With limited materials, it is not easy to make 22 small animal traps.
She didn't blame the staff, but said, "If there are spare materials in the warehouse, remember to make more, I'll be useful."
"Yes." The blacksmith A, B, C, and Ding solemnly responded.
**
The so-called "small animal trap" is actually a small animal trap. Bury it in the ground and wait for the enemy to step on it.
Once the attack is effective, the movement speed will be significantly slowed down, and the enemy will naturally be slaughtered.
Because of the scarcity of numbers, Yunling buried all the traps on the east side, which is convenient for NPCs to fight the enemy.
"Hello." A timid voice said, "Is there any shortage of people here? Can I join the team and defend the territory with you?"
Yun Ling raised his head and smiled gently, "The members here are used to cooperation. If you add new people and re-run, the efficiency of killing enemies will be reduced. So we don't recruit people, you'd better look elsewhere."
Although he was rejected, the other party was friendly and what he said made sense.
The player did not bother too much, and turned his head to the north to try his luck.
Looking at the vast and boundless field, Yun Ling said to herself, as a lord, she has to control an area to ensure a stable source of game materials, so as to facilitate the construction of the territory.
**
At the border of the town, combat players are fighting bloody battles.
In the center of the town, life players did their best to make recovery props.
An old master is making donkey rolls with noodles.
Donkey Rolling uses soybean noodles as the main material, the inner layer is bean paste, the middle is glutinous rice, and the outermost layer is wrapped with soybean powder.
After the finished product is made, the appearance is yellow, and it tastes fragrant, sweet, waxy, and has a strong soy bean fragrance. It tastes great.
Not far away, an old grandmother was making pancakes.
Preheat the pan with oil and put a spoonful of batter first. Spread out pan-sized, round patties, then add eggs.
Wait until the egg liquid has solidified, turn the pastry over, add lettuce, bacon, and spread the sweet pasta sauce, and a cake is ready.
There are also people holding lamb skewers, beef skewers, pork belly, and gluten barbecues. Sprinkle with cumin, sprinkle with secret seasoning, that fragrance can float three miles away!
Not to mention that combat players are greedy, even living players can't help themselves.
This one said, I have the ingredients, you help me make a cake, the other said that your sauce is good, help me grill a few strings of pork belly.
It didn't take long for the life players to not do business, and they all ate...
**
The battle continues.
The players cooperated with each other, took shifts and rested, and finally they were able to cope. However, even so, if you are not careful, there will still be casualties.
"All cheer up, be alert!" A team leader shouted loudly, "If you are not in a good state, immediately retreat. Don't hold on, your life is important!"
"The team members pay attention to cover and help their companions to evacuate."
Everyone concentrated their attention and took it seriously with twelve points of energy, and the casualty rate was further reduced.
Mo Qi glanced around and found that none of the team members died. He couldn't help but sigh, "HP +100, basic recovery speed +2 HP/min, the gain status enjoyed by the official residents is too powerful! This has to be replaced elsewhere, The team has already been downsized. But in Lingyun Town, not only are there no dead people, but they are still able to handle it with ease."
Even if the battle is a little more intense, she can handle it with confidence, the difference is too great.
Leng Bai: "In other territories, restoration items must be looted; in Lingyun Town, there are too many restoration items to sell. This is the gap."
What the hell is too much to sell out
Mo Qi subconsciously wanted to argue, her mouth was slightly open, but she couldn't say a word, because this was the reality.
**
【Name: Small Beast Trap】
Quality: ordinary
Durability: 16/20
Use effect: After stepping on the trap, trap the target or significantly/slightly slow down the target's movement speed.
After Yun Ling arranged the animal traps scattered on the east side, she found that fighting monsters was much easier.
There are constantly monsters stepping on the trap and being trapped in place.
NPC set fire to siege, quickly destroy the target, and win easily.
The only downside is probably...
"Durability drops too fast!"
Yun Lingxin said that at the current speed, the small traps will be scrapped and cannot be used in as little as two days or as many as three days.
The iron ore is used seven to eighty-eight, and there is no way to produce new small traps.
"We have to think of a way." Yun Ling was lost in thought.
**
A wooden house in Lingyun Town.
Thirty people gathered in the house for a meeting.
An assassin was the first to speak, "It's not a problem to stay in the territory, we have to find a way to make money."
As soon as the words were spoken, someone asked, "Monsters are besieging the territory. Besides waiting patiently or joining the battle, what else is there to do?"
"This is wrong." The assassin smiled mysteriously and analyzed calmly, "I went to the mission hall and found that the purchase price of the ore has changed."
The current price list is as follows-
[Acquisition of copper ore, 5 copper coins and 1 piece. 】
[Acquisition of iron ore, 7 copper coins and 1 piece. 】
[Acquisition of cold iron ore, 10 copper coins 1 piece. 】
[Acquisition of mysterious iron ore, 18 copper coins 1 piece. 】
[Acquisition of Wujin ore, 1 piece of 35 copper coins. 】
No matter what you dig, you can earn a fortune.
"I don't agree! It's too dangerous to go out!" Another firmly objected.
"Actually, it's not that scary." The assassin continued, "We are a team of 35 people. Even if we encounter a beast swarm after going out, we will still have the strength to fight."
"If you bring enough supplies, you can not only mine, but also hunt."
"What do you mean," Tian Zhehan said slowly, "our team is strong enough to go out as usual?"
"Yes." The assassin nodded, "I caught the fry last fall and sold it for a big profit in winter. The equipment is not bad."
"The fish pond is still empty, and new fry have to be caught."
"If you want to grow fat and big fish, you need to collect ingredients and prepare feed."
"In addition, the purchase price of ore is rarely so high, and it is totally worthwhile to go out."
Seeing that Tian Zhehan didn't say a word, the next second, the assassin's words changed, "Of course, this is just a personal opinion. Whether or not to go out is entirely up to the boss."
After thinking for a long time, Tian Zhehan's eyes were firm, "Go, seek wealth and wealth at risk."
**
Blacksmith shop.
A player hurried into the store and asked, "Is there a machete?"
Blacksmith A replied, "The iron ore has been used up, and there is currently a lack of raw materials, so it cannot be produced for the time being."
The player froze.
Insufficient raw materials, goods out of stock. NPCs will not start making new equipment until the raw materials are resupplied. This is the basics the game knows from the very beginning.
However, before that, the Lingyun Town system store had never been short of materials, so he forgot.
In a daze, another person rushed into the blacksmith shop. He walked to the shelf and just wanted to buy, but found that there was no item he wanted on it.
The man hurriedly turned around and asked, "Where's the dagger? Why is the dagger gone?"
Blacksmith A gave the same answer, "The iron ore has been used up, and there is currently a lack of raw materials, so it cannot be produced for the time being."
The two customers looked at each other, unable to speak for a long time.
The person who entered the door at the back came back to his senses, "What can I do? Against the tide of monsters, wooden sticks and spears are not good! Not to mention low attack, hard to break defense, and especially easy to wear. Fight for a or two. God, the durability is -15 in one breath, and one of them is scrapped in almost three days."
"You can try the bronze sword." The blacksmith Jia promoted other products in due course.
player, "… "
"That's the only way, first buy one and use it to live." He sighed, feeling helpless.
**
In the stone house, You Qingwen and Zheng Mingyue were taking stock of the inventory.
"143 in white, 59 in blue, and 6 in purple, enough to last for a while."
After the inventory was completed, You Qingwen sighed and her expression relaxed slightly, "During the monster fight, new equipment will be dropped, which is enough to support the end of the spring beast tide."
Zheng Mingyue was very fortunate, "Fortunately, after the durability came out, none of the equipment I picked up was sold. Otherwise, I wouldn't know where to buy it now that I lacked equipment."
"Isn't it available in the system store?" You Qingwen asked curiously, "Although it is a bit more expensive, the quality is guaranteed."
"Haven't you heard?" Zheng Mingyue looked back in surprise, "The blacksmith shop is short of iron ore, and iron products are no longer for sale."
You Qingwen, "…"
A hoarder like the Lord of Lingyun Town, will there be a day when materials are lacking? The world is so crazy.
**
The wisdom of the people is infinite. There is a mere lack of materials, and it is not difficult for the witty Lingyun Town players.
"Selling iron guns! Brand new iron guns, blue quality, only 200 copper coins!"
"Steel spear, blue quality, durability 33/40, 150 copper coins, come quickly."
"Bronze stick, blue quality, durability 40/40, 220 copper coins can be taken away!"
"Steel bow, blue quality, durability 40/40. Buy it now, 180 copper coins!"
…
In the system store, a piece of white equipment costs 100 copper coins, and a piece of blue equipment costs 500 copper coins, but transactions between players are not at this price.
With a 40 to 50% discount, it is almost the market price, and you can change hands and buy and sell.
Recently, monsters have been attacking the territory like crazy, and many players have gained a lot. Some items are not needed, so simply set up a stall on the spot to exchange for some practical items, or sell them for cash and buy new equipment.
A melee player walked out of the blacksmith with their heads drooping. Hearing the screaming, he was startled at first, and then a surge of ecstasy emerged in his heart.
Iron gun? Steel spear? Bronze stick
he can! !

Day 134.
With 140,000 copper coins in hand, Yunling finally decided to upgrade the building.
The line of sight circled around "warehouses, mission halls, carpentry workshops, tailor shops, dwellings, protective covers, restaurants, refrigerators, farmland, blacksmith shops", and finally landed on the "protective cover".
[The protective cover is upgraded to level 3. 】
[The upper limit of life value becomes 100000. 】
[Basic recovery rate: 5 HP/min. 】
"This is more than the previous one." Yun Ling closed the panel with satisfaction.
**
Under the premise of sufficient strength, monster siege is undoubtedly a good thing. Hunting team members can farm monsters as much as they want without even leaving the door.
If you are thirsty, someone will prepare drinking water.
Hungry, there are chefs serving delicious three meals.
When you are tired, say hello to your teammates, and you can go to the side to rest.
At other times, just try your best to output, pick up and drop, and distribute everyone's income fairly.
More than one person sighed, what a fairy day this is! I want to go on like this.
The festive atmosphere lasted for ten days.
On the 145th day, there was a drizzle in the air.
Mo Qi's face was solemn, "Six straw hats, four scorpions, rain gear is far from enough."
It was raining last year and I could stay in the territory and do nothing, but this year I can't.
Monsters attack, even if the rain will increase the durability of the equipment, even if the rain gear is not enough, you have to bite the bullet and stand in front.
Leng Bai murmured, "There are so many life players in Lingyun Town, maybe some people can make straw hats or scorpions. Go out and ask later, and see if you can buy them."
Mo Qi was not optimistic, "There are nearly 3,000 players in Lingyun Town. Even if someone knows how to do it, it will be difficult to supply them."
After all, pure manual work, the demand is too great.
"Maybe Lingyun Town can create a miracle?" Leng Bai was full of expectations.
The team members lived in the same stone house, and after dinner, they went out together.
In the territory, I saw some people holding umbrellas, some people wearing hats/straw hats, and some people wearing scorpions, protecting their whole body tightly.
Mo Qi, "???"
She stood there dumbfoundedly watching, unable to recover for a long time.
The team members were shocked, "Did I have hallucinations in front of my eyes? One rain gear for everyone? Are there any extras for sale at the stalls?"
Just at this moment, someone shouted, "Minoyi, brand new minoyi, 40 copper coins a piece!"
"It turns out that I have not only dazzled, but also auditory hallucinations. It must have been the wrong way to open my eyes this morning." The team members looked dazed.
A faint smile flickered in the cold white eyes, "Lingyun Town is worthy of being the number one territory, and it always surprises people inadvertently."
Saying that, he took the lead, "Let's go, go shopping and buy rain gear."
**
Blacksmith shop.
Yunling found that his employees had made a new batch of small animal traps. There are a lot of them, a hundred of them.
She asked curiously, "Where did the raw materials come from?"
Blacksmith A reported, "A team went out to mine and got iron ore."
"There are also people who attack enemy units and accidentally get iron ore as loot."
"Some people came to consult with the materials and asked if they could forge the equipment as required. The reward is ten iron ore and ten copper ore. I see that the craft is not difficult, so I will go."
"You did a great job." Yun Ling was very satisfied.
Blacksmith A bowed his head humbly, not taking credit.
It was raining outside the territory, and there was not a single customer in the store. Without outsiders, Yun Ling was much more casual.
She walked to the shelf, looked at it for a moment, and asked, "How's business going recently?"
Blacksmith A replied, "Iron pickaxes, pocket knives, kitchen knives, short knives, steel knives, machetes, bronze swords, chain mail, bronze helmets, bronze shields, and iron shields, as long as you make them, you won't be able to sell them."
Some equipment is simple in craftsmanship and extremely easy to replace, such as straw sandals.
Some equipment is complicated in craftsmanship and basically cannot be replaced, such as steel knives.
Players fight monsters and occasionally pick up one or two steel knives, and there is nowhere to get them the rest of the time.
Therefore, even if the price of the system store is high, players can only hold their noses.
There is no other reason, monopoly industry. Only this company can provide long-term and stable supply, and other channels cannot get the required equipment.
Fortunately, the "Blacksmith's Shop" was unlocked. Yun Ling secretly rejoiced.
After thinking about it, she instructed, "Small traps are enough for the time being, so you don't need to prepare them specially. Forge some more equipment for residents to use."
"Yes." The blacksmiths A, B, D, and W responded in unison.
**
Before I knew it, I had another 160,000 copper coins in my hand.
Looking at the nine options of "warehouse, task hall, wood workshop, tailor shop, residential house, restaurant, refrigerator, farmland, and blacksmith shop", Yunling was unable to decide for a while.
As a hoarder, of course, the bigger the warehouse, the better, and the longer the shelf life, the better.
The task hall can be upgraded, so that more and better NPC talents can emerge.
Upgrade the wood workshop, tailor shop, restaurant, and blacksmith shop to recruit more employees.
Only by upgrading farmland can we have more land and be self-sufficient.
On the other hand, residential houses and ice warehouses are not in a hurry to upgrade for a while.
Yun Ling repeatedly weighed and finally decided to upgrade the mission hall.
[The mission hall has been upgraded to level 3. 】
[5 NPCs visit here every day and stay for 48 hours. 】
[You will have more opportunities to obtain higher-level and better-quality NPCs. 】
"Higher level, better quality? What kind of NPC will it be?" Yun Ling was full of expectations.
As a result, in the evening of the same day, the system refreshed a super powerful NPC.
Level: 12
Attributes: Strength 6, Agility 8, Stamina 10, Intelligence 21, Spirit 20.
Combat skills: S-class flame storm, S-class soul burning
Life Skill: Advanced Sewing
Craftable items: Linen Backpack (White), Cotton Backpack (Blue), Brown Leather Backpack (Purple), Mage Robe (Blue), Moonlight Robe (Purple), Satin Shoes (Blue).
Hire price: 30,000 copper coins.
Jinneng can be a fortress mage, and Tuaneng can be a store employee. The so-called capable of writing and martial arts is probably just like him.
But... 30,000 copper coins! ! !
Yun Ling's breathing was stagnant, and he felt a dull pain in his heart.
But the double S attack skills are really rare, and the Moonlight Robe (Purple) is also quite good. Yun Ling closed his eyes, and his heart turned abruptly. He decided to hire him and gave him the name "Mage Xin".
"I would like to serve you, my lord." Mage Xin is a gentle middle-aged man.
Just by looking at his face, no one else would have guessed that he was worth 30,000 copper coins!
After calming down, Yun Ling reluctantly calmed down, "Follow me to the warehouse to get the equipment, and go to the battlefield later."
Only if the Fortress Mage works and kills more, can he make up for the loss as soon as possible.
"Yes." Master Xin Hao responded with a good temper.
