Sitting on a boulder to rest, Yang Yu used a fruit knife to peel the garbage prize sugarcane he had won in yesterday's lottery. He felt very puzzled. They had been wandering around the outskirts of the forest for a whole day but had not seen a single goblin.
It would be fine if it had been cleaned up by someone, but they didn't find any signs of a fight.
Everything was so strange, as if someone knew about the clearing plan here in advance and made the goblins gather deeper into the forest.
He cut the peeled sugarcane into three parts, gave one piece to He Meng and Bai Jin, and Yang Yu picked up the root and started chewing it.
The group of goblins yesterday were very organized, like a pack of wolves deliberately waiting for their prey to fall into a trap. They were real hunters.
If it were any other team, they would have succeeded long ago. Unfortunately, they met him. Even if Secamens didn't take action, he was 100% sure that they would be wiped out.
Chewing sugarcane in big mouthfuls, Yang Yu formulated a new strategy.
"That's enough for today. Go back and prepare. We'll try to go deeper into the forest tomorrow."
I can't find any experience packs and can't upgrade. It would be very dangerous to go deep into the forest and encounter groups of high-level goblins. Now I can only go back and see if there are other teams that want to hunt goblins, and form a large group with them to act together.
He Meng swallowed the sugarcane. Even though it was not as delicious as the four-leaf clover, it had its own flavor. Bai Jin held the sugarcane and didn't know how to eat it.
"Haven't you ever eaten sugarcane before?" Yang Yu asked.
Bai Jin nodded.
“I’ve traveled to many cities and never seen food like this.”
"Then where does the candy you eat come from?"
"It is extracted from the brown fruit of a tree called candy cane. The growing conditions are extremely harsh, so sugar is very expensive and not affordable for ordinary people."
Damn, rounding it off, the loss is more than 100 million.
There is no crop called sugarcane in this game. If I could rely on farming, vigorously promote sugarcane planting, and open a sugar factory, wouldn't I make a fortune
Looking at the leftover sugarcane husks, Yang Yu's face was full of black lines, and he was filled with regret. It was too late to say anything now. He couldn't grow sugarcane with sugarcane husks. He couldn't learn such a magical operation.
Next time when I draw garbage, I have to check it carefully. I also have to look around the market to see what is available on the market. Otherwise, if I miss out on another 100 million, I will cry.
"Taste it slowly, it's very sweet. If you think it's too big, I'll cut it into small pieces for you."
After saying that, Yang Yu took back the sugarcane, cut it into small sticks the size of chopsticks and handed them back to Bai Jin.
Bai Jin picked up one, chewed it gently, and the sweetness filled her heart.
"So sweet. Hehehe, it's like mixing bone-grinding frogs, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and Kara lizards together and cooking them. Cool, cool, it's a perfect curse potion. With this wonderful sweet taste, it will surely make many girls fall for it."
“.”
"No. That's not what I meant."
Bai Jin was trying to explain in a panic, but she started coughing violently. Patting Bai Jin on the back to help her relieve the symptoms, Yang Yu said, "Your feelings have been conveyed. I can't describe it. Don't force yourself. Your health is more important."
As he spoke, Yang Yu glanced at Bai Jin's experience bar. Her experience bar was slightly shortened, but it was not an illusion.
Originally, Yang Yu thought that Bai Jin’s weak attributes would only affect her combat, but he didn’t expect that her weak attributes would directly affect her growth.
Yesterday, Yang Yu helped Bai Jin level up two levels. When she woke up today, she had dropped a level. What was even more tragic was that the attributes she gained from the level up were terrible. Among the seven attributes, only intelligence was increased by 2, while the rest were all increased by 0. When she dropped a level, each attribute dropped by 5 points at once. It turned out that Bai Jin, who had leveled up, was actually weaker than yesterday.
This weakness must be cured by any means, otherwise, after working so hard to reach a certain level, it will be as good as not having practiced at all.
Faced with this kind of character who is not very good-looking and is getting weaker and weaker in the game, most players have already avoided her and at most regard her as a tool for early leveling.
But Yang Yu was different. His first impression was: "The level and attributes would drop every day, which means she was very strong in the past. There must be some special plot behind such a character, which is worth digging deeper!"
Moreover, a weak character in the early stage may not be seen in the later stage. If you can help her solve the problem of weakness, she will definitely not suddenly behave like a traitor as long as she does not go too far, and she will be the most reliable teammate.
How could Yang Yu let go of such a teammate
Leaving the Goblin Forest and returning to the Adventurer's Guild, the tavern that should have been noisy and full of joy during the day was now eerily quiet. Everyone was drinking and the atmosphere was different from usual.
It wasn't like this when I left in the morning, why did it become so lifeless after just one morning
Yang Yu was puzzled. As soon as he stepped into the tavern, a series of mission messages appeared on his panel.
[Emergency Mission: Rescue the missing adventurer Scars team.
Urgent mission: rescue the missing adventurer Teren team.
Urgent mission: rescue the missing adventurer team Akai.
Urgent mission: rescue the missing adventurers Silver Wind Team.
Investigation mission: Go to the depths of the Goblin Forest to conduct an investigation.]
When so many messages suddenly popped up, Yang Yu had only one reaction: something went wrong.
Just when he wanted to find out what was going on, the lady at the front desk walked up to him in two steps.
"Mr. Yang Yu, may I bother you for a moment? We would like to know about your goblin hunting yesterday. It may take up a lot of your time, but we will pay you accordingly."
The task of [What I Saw and Heard] was triggered, and Yang Yu told everything that happened in the forest yesterday without saying a word.
In order to avoid being accused of flattering himself, Yang Yu slightly modified the story of being robbed of the monster by Sekamens in the end, saying that it was thanks to Sekamens who came to the rescue.
He answered the receptionist's questions one by one. She bowed her head to thank him. Fu went back to the front desk and wrote something quickly. Then she left the front desk and disappeared. A guard temporarily took her place.
After talking with the guard, Yang Yu learned the whole story. They were the only adventurers who came back from the Goblin Forest yesterday.
It was common for adventurers to live in the forest and sleep in the open air, and the Adventurer's Guild had no right to interfere with them. But this morning, an adventurer came with blood all over his body, and told about what he had experienced in the forest. His team was attacked by swarms of goblins, and was forced into the depths of the forest, where they encountered more goblins. It took his team a lot of effort to get him back.
The nature of this incident changed instantly. The Adventurer's Guild speculated that the adventurers who did not return were also attacked by goblins and fell in the Goblin Forest.
Adventurers are one of the cornerstones of the operation and stability of this society. Although they are paid to do their work, it is undeniable that they solve many problems that plague the people.
The disappearance of such a large number of adventurers at the same time could easily create panic, not to mention that the Silver Wind Squad led by Secamens, the young generation representing the Adventurer's Guild, was also missing.
