Chapter 117 Let’s Pan for Gold

The city lord discovered this and chose all high-level talent NPCs after upgrading. He found that the intelligence levels displayed by NPCs were different due to different talent levels.

However, the city lord is most concerned about something else right now. "When we attacked the monster in this tree canopy just now, the other trees that were close by didn't come out either. Should we consider taking them down one by one? It would be best if there are fruits inside after we kill them. Even without these rewards, they are not necessarily worse than fruits."

If you can't get the tempering fruit, the tempered goose meat and feathers are also good.

Ruan Fanyao thought it was feasible. "Yes, but not everyone has wings. We only made two pairs of wings from the wings of the Brown Iron Mutated Frost Moon Pigeon monster we killed before."

The Frost Moon Pigeon is a wild monster they encountered in autumn. Its wings can be made into wings, but they are extremely rare, and so far only two pairs of wings have been successfully made.

Because they were both early players, in order not to arouse the anger of other professional players, the two pairs of wings were sold to other professional players.

The city lord glanced at the tree trunks, wondering how else he could reach the treetops. "If we can't figure out how to climb up, we can tie ropes to each of the main branches and let them climb up themselves."

"That's fine. Then go back and inform them?"

"Let's go."

When the two came out, they were worried that these geese would bring instability to the security of their city-state. Now, it's better. They can just stay put and fight, which is no different from encountering wild monsters in groups before.

In Xuantian City, Lu Jiu swept through the tempering fruits of nearly a hundred trees. When he was about to go to the next treetop, he saw Shen Jufeng who was still picking them.

So embarrassing.

"No way, I went looking for trees in the wild direction, but I didn't expect to bump into one."

Shen Jufeng collected the fruits and said, "If we continue to pick them, we will have to spread out further, and you will have to go further away."

Lu Jiu was in no hurry to move to the next tree, and sat directly on a branch within the canopy. "I've picked nearly ten thousand Refining Fruits. I really don't need to leave some for others?"

She has always felt that she has too many equipment and props.

"Have you forgotten about the wild monsters in Qiuyu City? Whether they spawn there or migrate from the north, it means we need to collect these fruits as soon as possible, otherwise I estimate most of them will end up in their stomachs."

What it means is to keep picking. If you don't pick those wild monsters, you will have more food.

He continued, "And think about it, Qiuyu City is right next to Yangshan City, and we're just south of them. It's obvious we'll be the next to be attacked by wild monsters, so hurry up and harvest more. Also, send an email in the city lord's name, suggesting that capable professional players come out."

How much can they get by picking? Even though each of them has obtained thousands of fruits now, the number of giant trees in the entire Yangshan City is inestimable.

Lu Jiu nodded, "That makes sense. Then I'll go to a more distant area and send an email."

Instead of killing the wild monsters cheaply, it is better to encourage professional residents in the city-state to come out and pick together, but they must pay attention to safety.

As soon as Lu Jiu went out, she changed into another image. At this moment, she was the mayor of Xuantian City, Ying Bairong.

The professional players who are still struggling in the city are still wondering whether to go out and how to climb such a high tree. These are all problems.

Moreover, Qiuyu City is right next to Yangshan City, so those wild monsters may appear on their side soon.

According to the descriptions of other players in the same provincial channel, there were so many wild monsters that they almost covered the sky and the sun.

Brother Wen and A Liu were also considering whether to go out in the city, and the message came in the group email.

[Xuantian City Lord: Professional residents within the city who have the skills and conditions can use weapons to climb the trees and pick the Tempering Fruit as soon as possible. The next group of wild goose monsters will target Xuantian City. Be careful, you must act in a group to avoid sudden attacks from the monsters.]

After seeing the email from the city lord, the two of them made up their minds to form a temporary team to go out and pick the fruits. At worst, they would stay closer to the city-state to facilitate evacuation.

Lu Jiu himself set out for a place farther away from Xuantian City. He also said hello to Zhuang Yun and told them to email his coordinates if anything happened.

Compared to Lu Jiu and others who had wings, it was more difficult for Lin Zuo's team to pick fruits. They had to climb up a tree with great difficulty and pick fruits in less than two minutes. Then they had to move to another tree to continue picking.

If the trees are close together, they can jump directly over. However, if the surrounding trees are far away and they are not sure, they still have to get down from the tree first and then climb another one.

After a few trips, everyone was exhausted and sweating. Even in autumn clothes, they felt too hot and wanted to wear summer clothes.

In fact, some people really did this. After picking the fruits inside the tree canopy, since they couldn't see them from outside, they just took off their clothes and changed.

After picking the fruits from a tree, Dou Fanrong walked out of the tree canopy, looked at the ground a hundred meters high, and then without hesitation, he exerted all his strength to jump onto the giant tree next to him.

His expression was calm, but the blood in his body was flowing faster and he could clearly hear the sound of his blood vessels pulsating.

His fingertips were about to touch the branch of the tree, but they slipped past it and he fell down. However, his expression did not change, and he stopped after descending to a certain height.

Lin Zuo came out not far away. The fog had dissipated a little at this moment, and visibility was much farther. When he came out, he saw his friend's seemingly crazy and suicidal behavior.

“Tsk.”

He glanced at the bracelet on his wrist. The reason Dou Fanrong didn't fall down was because of the wings. Although they couldn't fly as high as the treetops, they would work when they descended to the specified height.

Dou Fanrong shook off the sweat from his forehead, took out his dagger and continued climbing.

"Dou Fanrong, how many have you got?" He shouted louder for fear that the other party couldn't hear him.

Apparently, the jerk wasn't as considerate as him. He lazily replied in a voice only he could hear: "Less than 3,000."

Lin Zuo stood there and heard nothing, his hands itching. Sometimes Dou Fanrong really deserved a beating even more than his stupid brother.

The two finally gave up verbal communication and greeted each other directly via email.

Many professional players in the city-state decided to go out and find ways to pick fruits. Even if they don’t know how to make medicine, they can still be used when cooking.

In the same provincial channel, some people will share how they climbed trees without wings. After all, not every advanced player has wings, and some quit the game after playing for a while, so how many resources can they have?

For a while, the entire Long Province seemed to be caught in a gold rush, and some people even boasted on the channel that they had picked the tempering fruit, but it was quite difficult to obtain.

In the gaming world, you can’t just wait until others have done something before you start. Everyone has to seize every bit of resources around them.

There were also young ordinary residents with better physical fitness who were jealous. Finally, because the geese had not arrived yet, they decided to go out together and try near the city gate.

Old man Zeng closed his stall and took his grandson and An An to watch the excitement at the city gate.

Tang Yi only knew that something good had appeared outside. He looked up and asked his grandfather with innocent doubts, "Grandpa, I wish I could be like Uncle Zhuang in the future and bring you good things."
