After discussing the cooperation matters with Sun Chen, Ye Miao used the farmland on the open space on the east side of the camp.

For the convenience of planning, the location of the farmland is determined by the owner. Ye Miao thought about it and first spread out the 5 square meters of primary farmland into a long strip. He pressed "OK" and saw that the originally hard land changed instantly and turned into the appearance of plowed farmland.

Then she walked about fifty meters to the west before laying out the remaining two intermediate farmlands. At first glance, there was no difference between the intermediate and primary farmlands, but if you looked closely, you could see that the soil of the intermediate farmlands seemed to be more fertile.

After the farmland was put away, Ye Miao looked up and gazed at the empty land in front of him. He couldn't help but imagine the scene of turning this place into farmland in the future - farming is really a memory rooted in his DNA!

Opening the panel, Ye Miao sent the coordinates to Sun Chen, telling him that the farmland was ready and asked him to come over.

Sun Chen was fine, so he came over right after receiving the news. However, he was disappointed when he saw the only 7 square meters of farmland: "That's all..."

Ye Miao chuckled, "I'd love to be a big farmer, but farmland is so valuable I can't afford it. Plant these first, and I'll buy more when I have more money."

"Okay." Although Sun Chen felt that he was not satisfied enough, he still agreed kindly.

Ye Miao patiently coaxed, "I heard that Su Xinran and Lu Weiwei have been helping you pick fruits recently. You can take them with you when you farm. If other members are curious, it's okay if you don't teach them. I'd be very grateful if you could teach them."

"Hahaha, that's easy." Sun Chen laughed innocently. "It's easy to get started. If anyone asks me, I'll explain it to them."

good.

Ye Miao was very satisfied with Sun Chen's attitude. He explained in detail what could be planted in primary and intermediate farmlands. Then he stopped disturbing Sun Chen and continued to walk the Pi Xiu leisurely.

At five o'clock in the evening, it was time for dinner in the camp, and new members who had applied earlier arrived one after another.

As they stepped through the fence, the members were greeted by the aroma of food. Today's standard dinner at camp was egg fried rice, priced at 5 gold coins per portion. Poached eggs were also available for an additional 2 gold coins each, with a limit of two per person.

He Kailai is the chef who makes egg fried rice. Although the ingredients are only rice, eggs, chopped green onions and salt, his level 56 cooking skills are enough to make these simple ingredients fragrant.

The less well-off camp members gathered in groups around the campfire to eat egg fried rice, praising the taste. The more well-off bought rice and added eggs, then took their bowls to the food stalls near the campfire to look around.

The food stall belonged to Hu Hao and Miao Lin. After careful consideration, the couple finally opened their stall. They had a lot of hot pot base and meatballs they'd bought before the otherworldly arrival. Opening a hot pot restaurant would be ideal, but unfortunately, after the otherworldly arrival, everything had to be made using skill cards. If they relied on memory and common sense without a card, the result would be a failure. And the couple didn't have a skill card for making hot pot.

Fortunately, they have the "Spicy Hot Pot" skill card.

Cook various meatballs, drain the water, add a small piece of hot pot base, stir-fry and simmer for a while, and you will have a simple spicy hot pot.

When they set up their stall, the couple did not sell it as "spicy hot pot", but called it "spicy snacks", priced at 3 gold coins per portion, with 6 meatballs in each portion, and users could choose the flavor of the meatballs themselves.

He Kailai, who is a better cook, also set up a stall nearby. He also had the spicy hotpot skill card, but in order to avoid competing with the couple for business, he kindly avoided it and chose to sell hand-pulled pancakes. The regular version cost 3 gold coins, and adding sausage and egg required an additional 2 gold coins each.

This kind of hand-pulled pancake was basically eaten by everyone during the period when it was provided free of charge for three meals a day. He Kailai fried it until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and also brushed it with plenty of sauce. It was piping hot and delicious!

Although the potion master Zhu Yihua didn't fight monsters, he had made some extra money selling medicine these past few days. He walked over in a good mood, holding a plate of egg fried rice, and said to Miao Lin, "Give me some meatballs. You can mix the flavors as you like. I'll eat them with the rice."

"Okay!" Miao Lin agreed readily, quickly picked up the colander and scooped out one fish ball, one shrimp ball, two chicken balls and two beef balls from the pot, and placed them directly on Zhu Yihua's fried rice.

After the payment and delivery, Miao Lin didn't want to help her teammates with their business: "He Kailai's hand-pulled pancakes are also good, why don't you try them?"

"I can't eat that much." Zhu Yihua smiled.

The two new members who had just walked into the camp together saw this scene and felt a bit complicated: It's clearly the end of the world, and you guys are making it so warm and cozy?!

The already hungry mage Xin Lu smiled and said, "It seems the prices here are quite friendly! The food is not expensive!"

Soldier Zhang Xiangqian looked around and saw that most of the members were wearing white equipment. He couldn't help but frown. "But their combat power seems really low. 80% of their equipment is white, and blue equipment is also very rare. Purple equipment..." He took another look, "I can probably count the purple equipment in the whole camp on one hand."

The end of the world has been here for half a month. Some territories that have strict personnel screening and work hard to farm resources have been able to ensure that all members have purple main equipment. There are also many territories at the next level that can ensure that all members have blue equipment as a minimum and core members have all purple equipment.

The equipment configuration of this territory in front of me is really not up to standard.

Xin Lu shrugged nonchalantly. "Anyway, with the barrier stone, it's basically safe. Besides, aren't we supposed to be able to get in with that kind of high-end team? I think it's good to hide here for a while. If things don't work out, we can move on."

"That's right." Zhang Xiangqian nodded after thinking about it. The high-end team really couldn't get in with their strength.

One of the great things about regular camps is their relative freedom, allowing members to come and go as they please. If you join a high-end team and then want to leave, your equipment and resources will likely be withheld. I've heard some have such perverse rules that they'll even assassinate members to prevent them from becoming competitors.

Zhang Xiangqian and Xin Lu were both people who were used to freedom. They felt that it would be better not to go to that kind of place. It would be more comfortable to lie down in the small camp.

The two of them walked safely into the territory hall. Generally speaking, for the sake of convenience, territory owners would directly list their homes for sale in the hall.

The two people clicked on the panel and saw the information they wanted:

For sale: Thatched cottage

[Price: 50 gold coins]

Description: Private residence, 15 square meters, with simple furniture. Limited to one unit per person.

For Sale: Log House

[Price: 300 gold coins]

Description: Private residence, 40 square meters, with simple furniture. Limited to one unit per person.

For Sale: Stone House

[Price: 800 gold coins]

Description: Private residence, 50 square meters, with simple furniture. Limited to one unit per person.

Although they had just seen the prices of food here, the two were still stunned by the housing prices.

Xin Lu grabbed Zhang Xiangqian's arm and asked, "Did my eyesight fail me and I missed a zero, or is the thatched cottage really only selling for 50 gold?"

Zhang Xiangqian's eyes widened: "It seems to be a real 50 gold."

Xin Lu: "Is this reasonable?!"

Zhang Xiangqian: "That's unreasonable!!!"

They said it was unreasonable not only because they had heard about the housing prices in other territories, but also because they had seen how difficult it was to build a house.

Since the arrival of the Doomsday System, the speed and quality of everything has become tied to level. Most players don't know how to build a house, lacking the skill level for Architecture. While forcing yourself to build a house can activate Architecture, upgrading is incredibly slow. Building a thatched hut might take two or three days, and there's a chance it'll collapse after you finish building it.

Therefore, the people who are relatively reliable in building houses are those who have been engaged in related industries before the end of the world. Xin Lu has inquired about it. People in the construction industry basically have construction skills ranging from 30 to 50 levels, depending on their original job content. It only takes half a day to build a thatched house with high quality.

It is not impossible for professional architectural masters who graduated from first-tier colleges and universities, as well as well-known senior technicians in the industry, to directly possess architectural skills at level 80 or 90.

However, such people do not account for a large proportion of the population, and some of them are bitten to death by monsters because they cannot fight. So there are only a handful of players who can build houses now.

Therefore, scarcity makes things valuable, and the scarcity of talent directly leads to skyrocketing housing prices in the apocalypse. A thatched hut may not look large, but the time and materials spent on building it, when converted into money, means the price is bound to be high.

In order to solve the problem of having no place to live, some senior teams will directly hire a senior architect, but if they want to retain such people, they have to pay them a lot of money, which makes it impossible to lower housing prices.

Therefore, both of them could not understand the selling price of the houses in the Get Rich Overnight Camp.

After thinking it over, Xin Lu said with a complicated expression, "Is it possible that the owner of this place is not good at math and made a mistake in the calculation?"

"Never mind, let's buy it first." Zhang Xiangqian chuckled and pressed the purchase button. They were already engaged, so they could just buy a room. If they had extra money later, they could upgrade to a cabin.

With a press of the confirmation button, the two of them had successfully purchased their home. To save money, they'd spent the previous two weeks huddled in a corner of the Sunset Bar, barely sleeping there. It was only thanks to the bar owner's kindness that she didn't let them go. Now that they had their own place, they were incredibly happy.

At the same time, Tan Kening, who arrived at the camp earlier, was already in Fang Yuming's stone house.

The stone house covers an area of ​​up to 50 square meters. A 50 square meter house was not worth mentioning in the past, but it is considered a luxury in the end times.

So from the moment he entered the house, Tan Kening couldn't help but wander around, looking around, and admiring it repeatedly, just like an unsophisticated Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Finally, he exclaimed, "Great, really great! It's much more comfortable than my RV."

Fang Yuming ate the spicy meatballs and laughed: "You buy one too."

"Alas." Tan Kening shook his head. "Forget it. Making money isn't easy. I'll just build a thatched cottage first. I'm planning to sell the RV and save the money. In case I come across good equipment or cards in the future, I'll have the money to buy them."

"Alright," Fang Yuming nodded. Tan Kening's considerations made sense. In today's world, cards and equipment were crucial for survival. He'd made the lavish purchase largely because Ye Miao had gifted him two purple suits, temporarily reducing his need for equipment.

"By the way, I forgot to ask in my excitement during the day. How do you divide the daily monster drops here?" asked Tan Kening.

Fang Yuming was puzzled for a moment: "What do you mean by how to divide it?"

"How much can you keep for yourself and how much should you give to the camp?"

Fang Yuming: “?”

Tan Kening: “?”

The two looked at each other for three seconds before Fang Yuming came to his senses.

During his time at the Fearless Sanctuary, he seemed to have heard of this rule. Whether members were fighting monsters individually or in a group, they had to give 70% of their resources to the team, keeping only 30%. However, as a highly respected member of the team, he had some privileges and was exempt from this rule.

As for after arriving at the get-rich-quick camp...

Fang Yuming let out an ambiguous smile. "If you're fighting alone, just pick up the dropped items yourself. If you're teaming up to fight monsters, you can discuss how to distribute the items. You don't have to hand them over to the camp. The boss never said he'd take everyone's resources. But the camp will also purchase some supplies. If you're willing to sell, you can go find that NPC named Da Zhuang."

"Huh?" Tan Kening stared blankly. "But...but..." He said in silence, "Isn't the purpose of forming a team for shared development? How can we develop without pooling resources?"

Fang Yuming frowned. "You've never been part of a team before, so where did this theory come from?"

"That's what everyone says." Tan Kening said seriously, "Isn't that the truth?"

Fang Yuming thought about it and said nothing.

It seemed to make sense, but something seemed off, and he couldn't quite put his finger on it. But in short, life in the camp was comfortable for him, and he hadn't faced any insurmountable crises. Ye Miao was very forthright, speaking his mind freely to everyone. He didn't monopolize the purple equipment, nor did he use it to blackmail anyone. He had already generously given away several pieces, making him a reassuring lord.

In the stone house next to Fang Yuming.

When Ye Miao just came back, the alchemist Lao Shuai had not yet completed his skills. She sat idly on a chair and watched, watching Lao Shuai like an immortal, his whole body emitting white light and golden light, which was very mysterious.

After sitting for about twenty minutes, Lao Shuai finally mastered his first card. Although Ye Miao expected that this card would not be too advanced, he still couldn't resist his curiosity and immediately stood up to check it out.

The exaggerated light effects faded away, and Ye Miao picked up the card hanging in the air. The panel popped up:

【Braised two-color tofu】

【Quality: White】

[Description: Cooking. After consumption, attack power increases by 2% and gains additional cold resistance. The effect lasts for 2 hours.]

[Required ingredients: blood tofu*3, southern tofu*3, light soy sauce*1, broad bean paste*1]

"..." Ye Miao's expression was difficult to be uncomplicated, "Old Marshal, do you know something and are deliberately messing with me?"

The old commander looked confused and serious: "I don't understand what you mean, Miss Ye."

"...Okay." Ye Miao didn't want to argue with an NPC. Perhaps Lao Shuai, the blind box's tool, was truly innocent, but she still suspected the system had some deliberate elements, and she had evidence.

Otherwise, why did this dish require blood tofu when she had just finished beating the blood corpse?!

Ye Miao went to the warehouse again and saw that there was indeed some southern tofu. So he gave the skill card to Sister Jin and called Da Zhuang over, telling him that the cooking team could make this dish tomorrow and asking him to estimate the amount of ingredients and send it to them tomorrow night.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xiangqian simply packed his luggage and lay down exhausted on the bed in the thatched hut. Xin Lu went out for a walk, bought a plate of fried rice, a hand-pulled pancake, and a plate of spicy meatballs, and when she opened the door to see Zhang Xiangqian slumped over, she immediately glared at him, "You're wearing your coat again!"

"...It's all been gamified." Zhang Xiangqian muttered as he got up. "There's no cleanliness setting in the game. What's wrong with wearing outer clothes to bed?"

"Get up!" Xin Lu said fiercely. Zhang Xiangqian didn't dare to say a word and obediently moved to the chair and sat down.

Xin Lu finally calmed down and placed the food on the table one by one. Zhang Xiangqian looked at it with great interest. Every time he looked at something, a prompt popped up:

[Item: Egg Fried Rice]

【Quality: Blue】

[Description: After consumption, it can effectively relieve hunger, restore physical strength, and randomly activate any of the following blessings: ① Increase physical strength recovery speed by 5%, the effect lasts for 2 hours; ② Increase magic power recovery speed by 5%, the effect lasts for 2 hours; ③ Increase health recovery speed by 5%, the effect lasts for 2 hours.]

[Item: Hand-pulled Pancake (with egg)]

【Quality: White】

Description: Consuming this can effectively relieve hunger and restore physical strength. When your physical strength falls below the upper limit, it triggers an additional effect, restoring 2 points of physical strength per minute. The effect lasts for 2 hours.

[Item: Spicy Hot Pot]

【Quality: White】

Description: After consumption, it can effectively relieve hunger and restore physical strength. When the physical strength is below the upper limit, an additional effect is triggered, restoring 1 point of physical strength per minute, and the effect lasts for 2 hours.

Zhang Xiangqian had a complicated expression. "The recovery effects are clearly real, and the fried rice even activates additional buffs, yet they're all sold so cheaply... Are the people in this camp not very good at math?"

"Pfft." Xin Lu laughed and ate a fish ball. The fresh, spicy and spicy taste instantly lingered on her lips and teeth.

That’s great! From now on I’ll have my own place to live and a team to rely on for survival!

From a rational point of view, Xin Lu didn't know whether this team with low combat effectiveness and seemingly all members were not good at math could last long.

But the food made her lose some of her mind.

The meatballs at 3 gold coins per serving are really good value for money and delicious!

At 8:00 PM, a new round of card packs dropped as scheduled. The "Get Rich Overnight Camp" now had 42 members, and 42 card packs slowly descended like starlight, scattering across the campground.

According to the system settings, members were not allowed to attack each other within the camp. However, perhaps because the atmosphere in the camp was so harmonious, the few players who went out to pick up card packs did not fight over them. They soon returned to the camp safely and began to draw cards with some nervousness.

In the stone house, Ye Miao received a system notification about a card pack drop. Just as she was about to go out to pick one up, there was a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw Lu Weiwei outside.

"Good evening, Boss!" Lu Weiwei smiled and handed over a card wallet. "I was passing by and my card wallet fell, so I picked up an extra one. Since you didn't come out, I came to deliver it to your door!"

"Thank you." Ye Miao chuckled, took it, looked at Lu Weiwei, and asked politely, "Is there anything else?"

"No, no!" Lu Weiwei waved her hands. "It was just a matter of convenience. Don't worry, Boss! I'm going home now. Good night!"

After she finished speaking, she seemed to be afraid that Ye Miao would mistakenly think that she was just being polite, so she slipped away quickly.

"Why are you running? I don't eat people." Ye Miao looked at her back and smiled to himself, then turned back into the house, opened the card pack, held his breath and looked at the cards that popped out one by one.

There are still 20 cards in the card pack. Players can only see the card backs and can select 5 cards at will.

Of course, the only gold card was a must-have. Ye Miao tapped the back of the card, and the gold card turned over, revealing:

【Overlap of Reality and Virtuality】

【Quality: Gold】

Description: Skill. After using this skill, consumes mana to summon 1-12 phantoms. The number of phantoms summoned and their health depend on your level, and they last for up to 20 seconds. These phantoms will automatically face the enemy and attack with the same skills you use, but they won't actually deal damage. During the skill's duration, you can swap positions with any phantom using your mind, up to four times per skill trigger. If you flee, the phantom will randomly run in a different direction from you.

They appear to be able to cast skills together, but they actually do not cause damage. They can silently swap positions and use phantoms to take damage. If they choose to escape, they will choose different directions.

In short, this is a sleight of hand, a skill used to confuse opponents, and it can be used regardless of the player's chosen profession.

Ye Miao was too high level, having yet to encounter a true opponent. Her initial reaction to this skill was that it was useless. But then she thought better of keeping it. Firstly, as time passed, stronger enemies would emerge. Secondly, since crossing over, she had gradually discovered that some of the settings in this world were different from those in the original game. She wondered if her experience might lead to miscalculations. If she were ever caught in a crisis, having a skill to help her escape was crucial.

After careful consideration, Ye Miao directly pressed the "Learn" button. A golden light flashed, the card disappeared, and then the skill description showed the specific value according to her level.

【Overlap of Reality and Virtuality】

【Quality: Gold】

Description: Skill. Upon use, consumes 4000 mana to summon 12 phantoms with 8000 health points, which last for up to 20 seconds. The phantoms will automatically face the enemy and attack with the same skills you use, but they won't actually deal damage. During the skill's duration, you can swap positions with any phantom using your mind, up to four times per skill trigger. If you flee, the phantoms will randomly run in a different direction from you.

Seeing that the number of summons was full, Ye Miao was satisfied.

Outside the stone house, a cold wind suddenly blew.

The wind blew very hard, and in an instant the dust flew and the branches shook.

With this gust of wind, the temperature suddenly dropped by several degrees. The members who were still outside shivered involuntarily, said goodbye to each other, and went back to the house to rest.

As nine o'clock approached, everyone began to go to sleep. Far away in the suburbs of T City, opposite the Get Rich Overnight Camp, several massive dark figures on the snowy mountains slowly awoke, shook off the snow, and let out earth-shaking roars.

【Name: Frost Giant】

[Level: 60]

[Health: 12000, Mana: 1800]

[Attack: 4200, Agility: 1650, Defense: 8000]

[Skills: Heavy Attack, Ice Spike Throw]

[Other descriptions: A giant beast dormant in the ice and snow, awakening when the temperature difference between day and night exceeds 20°C. It hates humans and, upon awakening, will actively attack human settlements, usually traveling in groups. It is afraid of fire-related abilities.]

One step, two steps...

The frost giants walked down the hillside in groups, and every step they took made a rumbling sound, shaking the earth violently.
