Chapter 37: Inquiring for Information

The three of them stayed in the mine for more than three hours before coming out. They were really reluctant to leave.

When they reached the cave entrance, the three of them camouflaged it together, erected a not very thick earth wall, and sprinkled gravel on it, so that at least it would not be easily discovered.

In the end, the three of them were given more than 160 pieces of various low-level ores, more than 230 pieces of low-level gems, which were not easy to dig, and more than 80 pieces of low-level jadeite.

Zhuang Yun felt the taste of sudden wealth, while Lu Jiu was just playing with a beautiful purple gem.

"Let's find a good place today and cook something to eat." Lu Jiu missed the hot food, and since there was a good harvest today, he had to celebrate.

Shen Jufeng nodded, "Well, I'll be responsible for eating." He himself can't cook, and he hasn't learned the chef card skills.

Zhuang Yun volunteered, "My cooking skills are pretty good. I often cook for my daughter. If you don't mind, I'll be the head chef."

Lu Jiu nodded. Her cooking skills still needed improvement, so having someone with more experience would be helpful. "Then let's help. I have some pork and ribs. I want some sweet and sour spare ribs."

"Braised pork." Shen Jufeng ordered a dish without hesitation.

"No problem." Zhuang Yun grinned. After all, seasonings and kitchenware can be bought in the mall.

Zhuang Yun cooked smoothly, and it was obvious that he was experienced. In addition to the dishes ordered by Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng, he also steamed a sausage, the aroma of which made Lu Jiu unable to stop.

Even Shen Jufeng frequently looked at the cooking pot.

Cooking in the game world is very fast, and everything was done in twenty minutes. The three of them ate the meat with their bowls in their hands, feeling very satisfied.

They slept well that night, and the next morning the three of them got up and huddled together nearby.

No one came in the afternoon. "Why don't we go? At worst, we can come back and have a look before we leave," Lu Jiu suggested.

Zhuang Yun also nodded. "Anyway, we've been waiting for almost a whole day, and there aren't even any ordinary monsters here. We can go look somewhere else."

Shen Jufeng thought about it and realized that since there was no movement up to now, "Let's go to Hu Yilin."

After packing up, the three of them set off. Huyilin is some distance away from Pingjing Mountain, which is a common wooded area in the southern forest.

As the name suggests, Hu Yilin has a lake in this forest area, but there is no city-state by the lake. This is also because there was no map when the city-state was established, otherwise someone would probably choose to establish a city-state there.

As they got closer to Hu Yilin, they heard voices of people talking not far away. The three of them got off their bikes and put them away. Since there were people around, they decided to walk.

After walking for a while, they found that the sound was getting closer and closer. It turned out that someone was coming from behind them.

Lu Jiu hadn't seen anyone yet, but the person wasn't far away. "It looks like there are quite a few people coming from Hu Yilin. I guess there are a lot of supplies to collect."

According to the distribution of city-states and their own previous observations, places with lakes usually have large fields growing crops, which are good bases for establishing city-states.

Shen Jufeng had already seen the figures of the group of people behind him, "I'm afraid that's the case, but it's okay, just think of it as coming to collect supplies and adapt to the situation."

The three of them slowed down, and soon the people behind them appeared in their sight. The people on both sides looked at each other, and in the end, the people on the opposite side didn't say much, but just walked past them while chatting calmly.

Shen Jufeng watched the group of people walk away. "There wasn't much hostility in their eyes. They probably thought we were here to collect supplies."

The few of them continued walking and finally arrived at Hu Yilin. The first thing they saw was a lake with rippling water, which was a beautiful sight.

Not far from the lake are large fields, with all kinds of crops swaying in the wind. In the vast fields, there are hundreds of people bending down to collect crops, and occasionally talking to people not far away.

Zhuang Yun was fine. He completed city-state tasks every day and collected supplies with ease.

Lu Jiu was still admiring the scenery, but Shen Jufeng didn't want to move at all.

However, Lu Jiu didn't watch for long before she joined Zhuang Yun in collecting. Shen Jufeng looked around and said, "I'll go take a look around and come back later."

The two men nodded without even looking up to indicate they heard it, and said, "Go ahead." After all, he was quite eye-catching standing there doing nothing.

When the two of them were collecting, they discovered that there were foods here that were not available in Xuantian City, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.

These two items are the materials that Zhuang Yun focuses on collecting, and the rest are also available in Xuantian City.

Shen Jufeng was about to take a walk along the edge of the field. Occasionally, people looked at him along the way. After all, his appearance and temperament showed that he was a noble young man.

When he came back, Lu Jiu immediately stopped collecting and said, "How is it? The scenery is pretty good, isn't it?"

Shen Jufeng nodded, "There are no wild monsters around, and there are professional players here. They should have cleared out the wild monsters, and then the life-type players are here to collect."

The cooperative relationship between the two players is quite good.

When the two wanted to find Zhuang Yun, they found that he had already started chatting with a middle-aged man. They did not disturb him and waited for Zhuang Yun to come back by himself.

After waiting for a while, Zhuang Yun's expression did not change. When he came over, the three of them understood what he meant with just a glance.

No one else noticed their departure.

"How is it?" Shen Jufeng asked.

"I actually asked about the Black Scorpion. I just said I saw it from afar, and then the uncle told me that several nearby city-states knew there were scorpions there, and they should stay away. Someone tried to capture this boss before, but only a dozen of them escaped out of more than fifty people. It was because the Black Scorpion couldn't leave that area, otherwise they would all be wiped out."

Lu Jiu frowned and thought, this means that the mining area has not been discovered, but the black scorpion is dead now, and I don’t know if it will refresh. I am really worried.

"That means no one knows about the mine yet. After all, this is Jinghe District. I'll come back and take a look when I have the chance."

If the mine is really discovered, people will definitely be sent to guard it, and it will not be easy for them to get in then.

But Lu Jiu vaguely remembered that she had a prop called a teleportation array. She had too many props, so she only remembered them roughly. She would look up how to use the prop when she had nothing to do at night.

"Well, I heard from that uncle that people from several nearby city-states regularly check on the Black Scorpion area, thinking someone might have killed the mutant boss." Zhuang Yun thought of something and continued, "There's also a boss that spawns in the Jinghe area, but unlike ours, which is a wild boar, they have a pair of chickens."

Lu Jiu's attention was drawn to the chicken, "Chicken? Is it big? I really want to eat fried chicken legs." Before, she was thinking about encountering a BOSS-level chicken, and now her dream came true.

Zhuang Yun thought about what the uncle had told him before, and then said, "It's very big, it seems the boss is also quite big. We have killed those two chickens twice so far, and they are about the same size as ours, but they will not respawn until we kill both of them."

Shen Jufeng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Since the two bosses have been killed twice like us, it means that their strength should be shared. In other words, the two together are equal to the wild boar boss on our side. Otherwise, the players with the first move and the professional players here are too powerful."

Today I'm guessing how many 1 stars my book has received. Oh, what a sad day.
