Chapter 174 Strength is the most important

Everyone lives in the same city-state, they are all professional players, and they can often be seen in various shops, but these two people seem to be just ordinary teammates.

"That shouldn't be the case. I've run into them a few times before, and when I was close, all they talked about were monsters and equipment."

It's as serious as it can be, so she doesn't believe that the girl got the good equipment through improper relationships.

Lu Jiu and other professional players in the city all knew that the three of them seemed to have a very good relationship. Sometimes, when Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng did not leave the city, Zhuang Yun would go out with the temporary team.

It seems that the three of them have a good relationship, and sometimes they are particularly separated and do their own things. Unlike them, most of the time they are with their teammates.

"It's strange, we hardly ever encounter these three people in the wild. We only see them occasionally on the way back to the city."

Nowadays, everyone is afraid of encountering other teams. When others are fighting wild monsters, they have to retreat quickly, but sometimes they will encounter them.

Bai Rou just smiled and pinched her bestie's cheeks, "There are so many teams we haven't encountered, and there's more than just them. Well, they're all here."

While they were talking, their teammates also arrived at the city gate.

The protagonists of their topic had passed away at some point.

Not far from Bai Rou and the others, Cheng Yunshi and her brother were waiting for Captain Lin Zuo and the others, and happened to hear the two girls talking about Lu Jiu and the others.

Her brother has told her not to think about Shen Jufeng anymore, but she just likes his face, which is really good-looking and has outstanding temperament.

When they came here to settle down, she found an opportunity to ask Shen Jufeng if he could join them, but the other party refused without any hesitation.

Just now, seeing that Shen Jufeng seemed to be accustomed to Lu Jiu's fun, he listened attentively to the other party talking to him with a smile. Cheng Yunshi would be lying if she said she was not envious.

She looked at Lu Jiu, trying to figure out what kind of magic power he had.

Cheng Yunhong patted her shoulder a little harder. Cheng Yunshi came to her senses and looked at her brother with a wronged look, asking why he pushed her like that.

Cheng Yunhong lowered his voice and said, "You should be more restrained. If you stare at that girl like that, everyone will see you."

Cheng Yunshi looked over again and found that Shen Jufeng was looking at him with scrutiny in his eyes, and his expression was not as gentle as when he looked at Lu Jiu.

She lowered her head and turned around. It was obvious that the person she was staring at was Lu Jiu.

Cheng Yunhong turned around and said, "Don't even think about someone like Shen Jufeng. He's not the only good-looking guy in the city. You're a skilled magician after all. Are you worried about not being able to find a handsome guy?"

He knew that his sister was just attracted to the man's looks and was a fan who frequently changed husbands before the end of the world.

At that time, whichever male star was popular was their husband. One year, Cheng Yunhong saw her sister calling three different male stars "husband" in turn.

Cheng Yunshi picked her fingers. Her brother knew nothing. It was not difficult to meet handsome guys, but it was rare to meet a handsome guy like Shen Jufeng.

But he still responded obediently, "I know, brother, is it not allowed to look at handsome guys these days..."

Cheng Yunhong touched his sister's head. He was afraid that she would get too deeply into trouble.

Lu Jiu felt that many people were staring at her, and she was used to it.

Seeing Shen Jufeng suddenly staring at a certain place, "What's wrong?"

He turned his head slowly and said, "It's okay. I just saw Zhuang Yun coming. I'll leave soon."

Shen Jufeng knew that there were always many people secretly watching them, especially Lu Jiu.

After a while, Zhuang Yun arrived and said, "I'm sorry, it took me a little longer to prepare lunch for An An."

Every time he went out, he would prepare lunch for his daughter in advance.

Lu Jiu sat sideways on the swing, one leg resting on the soft seat, his chin resting on his right hand. "How could we not know that you prepared a charity lunch? Let's go."

The two of them didn't plan to walk, so they just equipped themselves with wings, flew into the air and headed towards the forest.

After walking for a while and seeing no one else, Zhuang Yun mentioned to his two teammates that some residents in the city were planning to purchase the city-state’s resources.

Lu Jiu really didn't know about this. Even the old man Zeng and his grandson, whom they were quite familiar with, had never mentioned to them that they wanted to buy the city-state's resources.

"There are still people who want to buy this. What are their prices in the city?"

Zhuang Yun: "They said they're selling the resources in units of 1,000. That's 5 silver coins for every 1,000. And this is just a temporary price; it might go up in the future."

It is equivalent to 5 copper coins for one point of city-state resources. Compared with the cost of staying in the hotel for a day, it is really not cheap.

"Ordinary residents in our city-state still have some money, so they should be able to accept this price." He also said that the price will continue to rise, and if someone is selling this resource, we really have to act quickly.

However, Lu Jiu was curious whether Zhuang Yun would sell this resource. "Do you plan to sell this resource?"

When they kill wild monsters now, what they care about most is not the city-state resources, but the materials.

Zhuang Yun shook his head. "I definitely won't sell this. I'm sure there will be other benefits when your contribution points increase in the future. You can see that from the last major update."

He is not short of that little money. As long as he encounters many wild monsters in a day, it is easy for him to earn dozens of silver coins.

Shen Jufeng: "I think there must be someone willing to sell this. Now, apart from other things, the price of potions all starts at silver coins. If you want to go out and clear the wilderness, you must prepare more. As for weapons, it goes without saying that the prices vary greatly depending on the grade."

In the future, the price of bronze-level weapons compared to silver-level weapons will definitely differ by several times, or even dozens of times.

Shen Jufeng mentioned one point: "Take the rewards for killing wild monsters for example. We have a small number of people and are very efficient. We kill more wild monsters and get more resources allocated. However, those teams with more people may not get more points than us even if they kill ten or so wild monsters."

Lu Jiu and Zhuang Yun heard this and realized that this made sense.

Lu Jiu: "You are the living European Emperor. The monsters you kill will earn you more rewards."

Shen Jufeng was not proud of this. "That's another matter. Luck is luck, but strength is the most important thing. If I don't have strong strength, even if I'm lucky, I can only kill low-level monsters and get a few more pieces of meat."

In the gaming world, luck is fake, and only real strength is the most reliable.

Lu Jiu and Zhuang Yun agreed with this statement. Otherwise, their luck was not as good as Chen Jufeng's, and they would still have to deal with wild monsters of increasingly higher levels as usual.

"Speaking of which, it seems that there aren't many teams in our city-state that are truly all-powerful."

She often saw groups of about ten people setting out together, and was actually very curious about how many wild monsters such a group would usually encounter.

Even if they have three people, they will often encounter seven or eight wild monsters. With so many people in those teams, can they really cooperate to kill so many wild monsters?

There is indeed strength in numbers, but if you want to kill wild monsters efficiently, you also need cooperation.

Otherwise, killing a group of wild monsters will take up a lot of time, which will in turn reduce the number of wild monsters that can be spawned in a day.
