Back to Ye Miaomiao, after she settled Fang Yan, she was about to buy land when she received several applications from formal residents in a row.
Zhang Jiajia, Hu Sanhan, Li Mu and several members of the old expedition team and the new security team, a total of eight people.
Several people asked if they could accommodate more than one person in a room, and Ye Miaomiao, of course, agreed. According to the rules of the game, each official resident would be assigned a room, and they were free to choose how to live there or how many people to bring with them.
There are currently no double rooms or suites for families. Ye Miaomiao plans to build them when there are more formal residents and there is demand.
Eight hundred points arrived, and eight more houses were occupied. Ye Miaomiao happily counted her nearly three thousand points, opened the attribute panel of the territory, and took a fancy to "Shenmu Forest: Gathering/Logging (Harvest × 200%)".
While the Yellowstone Mine had a steady supply of stone and ore, wood had been running low these days. This was especially true for casting ore and heating the impending disaster.
She touched the points balance with a distressed look and tapped the [Confirm Purchase] button.
Feeling the ground tremble slightly, Ye Miaomiao glimpsed a distant, lush green, distinct from the grassland, emerging to the southwest. A vast forest towered into the clouds, dominating half the sky. Deep and quiet, a faint, cool, sweet fragrance wafted into the air.
What a huge forest!
When Ye Miaomiao was about to go over to take a look, she received a message from Security Team No. 1 - a guest was coming.
The visitor turned out to be Uncle Ying. He was stopped by the security team and politely landed on the ground, clutching a large sack in his claws. The bulging sack felt light and airy, with a few tufts of soft fur peeking out from the simple seal.
Ye Miaomiao: “!” Business is coming!
She walked over happily and greeted Uncle Ying loudly.
Uncle Ying had been worried about the two of them "fighting" yesterday, causing some unpleasantness, and he had been standing at the gate of the territory, feeling uneasy. But now, seeing Ye Miaomiao acting like a good friend, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"If we had known you needed the fluff, we wouldn't have thrown it away! We just processed a lot yesterday, and there's still this left. I don't know if it's enough! As soon as Heidanzi mentioned it, Tiger King asked me to bring it here!"
Ye Miaomiao happily opened the bag, and the tightly wrapped fluff rushed out. She quickly closed it again.
Congratulations on finding the item "Dirty Premium Fluff 100g" x 100. Please note that the material is currently damaged and has lost all its function.
Ye Miaomiao: “!” Down jacket, down pants, and down bedding set, she is here!
Uncle Eagle was still talking in my ear: "These are all useless things. Tiger King said that we don't charge any money. We are friends for free..." The words "gift" and "free" appeared back and forth in the sentence.
Ye Miaomiao immediately raised her head from the sea of fluff and said firmly: "No! You must pay!"
Ten kilograms of down is not enough! After washing, only eight kilograms remain. To make a down jacket with a down content of 100 grams, you can only make 80! Not even a fraction of that!
She looked at Uncle Eagle kindly: "Uncle Eagle is also a bird, does he also bring down feathers back to his territory?"
This question made Uncle Ying choke.
"How...how could this be! I'm an adult bird and can control myself." He moved his head away awkwardly.
Xiao Hei quickly lowered his head and pretended to play with his tail, but he could vaguely see the tip of his tail trembling slightly.
Ye Miaomiao didn't care and ruthlessly betrayed Huaji, who had just been so close to her: "This is a good thing! They don't understand you at all! Huaji even said this is a bad habit? It's unbelievable."
She then blew off a string of flattery as if it were free, "Fluff is the most useful thing in the world. Without fluff to keep warm, wouldn't those Hokuriku geese have frozen to death..." She listed some of the benefits of fluff in succession, and then stroked the fluff through the bag as if it were a treasure.
I actually thought... like this!
She was so sincere that Uncle Ying was moved: "That's right, when we birds build nests, we must use down to keep warm. This is engraved in our body's instinct. Dogs and cats don't understand..." He paused halfway and coughed lightly.
Dogs, cats... could it be the Wolf King or the Tiger King? Xiao Hei shuddered, shrinking lower and lower, almost digging his tail into the dirt.
Ye Miaomiao pretended not to hear anything and agreed loudly: "That's right!"
She immediately withdrew a thousand points from the system and placed them in front of Uncle Ying. "What you've done is useful. The entire Hungry Hungry Territory will be grateful to you! This is the reward for your hard work. A 100g ball of fluff is 10 points. If there's more, I'll buy more!"
Uncle Ying was immediately flattered. He looked at the points on the ground in disbelief and pecked at them gently.
He was criticized daily in Storm Territory, but here... his hard work has become... useful? I never thought that there would be someone who truly understood him and a group of lonely birds here...
Thinking of this, Uncle Ying's eyes when he looked at Ye Miaomiao became several times more friendly.
Ye Miaomiao stepped aside to let him pass. "These points can be used to buy things. Hua Ji and Uncle Rong are also shopping. Do you want to go find them?"
He could also enter the territory? Uncle Ying thought that after what happened last night, he had been regarded as a hateful thief.
Unexpectedly... Although Ye Miaomiao is a junior and the Hungry Hungry Territory is a newly established territory, it cannot compare with Baofeng for the time being, but it has a strong stomach and will catch up with Baofeng sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Uncle Ying agreed with emotion, thinking that if there were any difficulties, he could also provide guidance and help.
And... he remembered the eggs that Xiao Hei had brought back, which had the younger members of the territory scrambling for them. They didn't know what was so delicious about them, but they had completely ignored their manners! The same thing happened with the pheasants. As an elder, taking the eggs of the younger ones, one by one, you must not spoil them!
He secretly decided in his heart and followed Ye Miaomiao into the territory.
Ye Miaomiao asked the security team to deliver the fluff to the weaving hut. After registering Uncle Ying and Xiao Hei as visitors, she followed the two beasts in the direction of the flower chicken and other beasts.
At this moment, Hua Ji and others were standing in front of the primary factory, looking at the third-level tools in front of them in shock.
He had just finished a big meal and thought that was enough of a surprise. Unexpectedly, he'd even seen all sorts of things in the human market that weren't even in Stormwind Territory: combs, basins, nail clippers, dishes, and chopsticks...
These creative and bizarre things are fine, but what shocked the chicken the most was...
I saw the shabby window in front of me. On the open window panel, there were three rows on the left and three rows on the right. On the rusty iron plate extending in front of the window, there were three rows, which were neatly filled with various third-level tools.
Iron axes, pickaxes, and knives; iron hammers and nails; the most diverse of all are the iron farm tools, sickles, hoes, and even some tools that cannot be named.
"These are all..." The chicken widened its eyes.
As an elder in the territory, he knew the characteristics of third-level tools better than Xiaobai. These tools emitted a faint silver glow, and their unique material reflected the brooding chicken's fiery crest. What else could this be?
What he didn't expect was that the person in the window saw him stop and observe and said coldly, "25 points per hand."
The chicken was shocked: "!" Is this really a level 3 tool? He needed to calm down.
"Can..." he asked cautiously, "Can you check it?"
The tool man nodded expressionlessly, but his men continued to work non-stop. Managing both the assembly line and the small shop simultaneously, he was truly a hardworking NPC.
The brindle chicken clucked its beak and pecked lightly at the iron surface of the tool. There was a crisp "ding" sound, and the cool and hard feeling came over it. The brindle chicken was simply unbelievable -
One hundred percent iron tools!
He thought of the iron axe in his territory, which was enshrined high up for fear of wear and tear. It was like reminiscing about the good old days of resource gathering, and people would come to admire it from time to time.
But here it only costs... 25 points?!
"I want them all, a handful!" Hua Ji said hurriedly, "One of this, one of this, too. That's right! I won't pay!"
He must quickly bring the sample back to show the lord!
As he was talking, Ye Miaomiao and Uncle Ying came over with smiles on their faces. Huaji looked at them doubtfully, or more precisely, at Uncle Ying. How could this old-fashioned man get along so well with his Miaomiao?
But soon he no longer had the mind to think about these things.
"Hurry! Eagle! These are level three tools! Buy them quickly!" he shouted.
Uncle Ying chuckled, not wanting to pay any attention. "Fleck is really making a fuss out of nothing, not acting like an elder at all." "Isn't it just a level three bow?" "I saw it on the battlefield the other day. I just asked Ye Miaomiao about it. It turned out to be captured."
The beasts in their Storm Territory rely on their own minions when going to the battlefield. They have never used bows and arrows or swords. What's the point of buying these?
Uncle Ying walked over nonchalantly and suddenly stopped: "!"
A whole row of various level 3 tools almost blinded his eagle eyes!
"These... these are used for cutting trees, digging stones, and farming..." He could hardly speak clearly, and his yellow eyes were wide open.
The reason why the Storm Territory is so simple that it is almost primitive is because the beasts are only good at fighting, not good at collecting resources or making tools. Even the leader's residence is a tent made of a few pieces of wood.
There are only a few stone tools in the territory, so chopping trees and digging stones are the hardest and most tiring work. Just imagine, pulling out trees and digging stones with your hands, isn’t that hard and tiring?
No one is willing to do these jobs, resulting in a low standard of living in Stormwind Territory.
"This...this!" He quickly turned around to seek Ye Miaomiao's confirmation.
Ye Miaomiao spread his hands and said, "When we seized the bows and arrows, we also brought back the craftsmen. Besides the weapons, these are all homemade level 3 tools for sale."
Uncle Eagle was shocked. He opened his beak and wanted to say something, but no words came out.
Just then, a group of people approached from a distance. Two of them looked familiar to Ye Miaomiao; they were the last two to enter the territory last night: the dull-witted young man and the man who had dragged him into the territory.
Several people were watching from where they were.
Suddenly, the dull-witted young man angrily shouted at the chicken and other animals, "Don't even think about stealing our territory! Give us money!"
Ye Miaomiao: "!" She looked at this man deeply. She didn't expect that although this man was silly, he had a sincere heart.
Just like what the young man said, she really wanted to earn back those 1,000 points. She heard that Hua Ji was wandering around the territory and wanted to buy a lot of things, so she brought Uncle Ying in specially.
There were a lot of good things in Hungry Hungry Territory, so Storm Territory wouldn't be at a disadvantage if they bought them. Even better... it would be best if they wanted to buy more things. Money can make birds gather down. Ye Miaomiao was even looking forward to working for Storm Territory!
Thinking of this, Ye Miaomiao smiled and said, "25 points per sword. Uncle Ying, you have 1,000 points now, so you can buy 40 swords."
40! A full 40! ...Only 40?
Uncle Ying was momentarily stunned by the sheer number of iron tools, but after a moment of surprise, he suddenly felt a deep sense of responsibility. Storm Territory was home to five hundred beasts, so how could a mere forty tools be enough?
"Then..." Huaji asked quietly, "Miaomiao, can I still get one myself?"
Before Ye Miaomiao could answer, Xiaobai got angry again and answered for Ye Miaomiao: "No!"
"Oh! Brother Bai, please say less!" Lu Zhiwu was very anxious. Why didn't Brother Bai have an attack earlier or later, but at this time!
He didn't even look at what kind of beasts were on the other side! They were all level three monsters! If they got angry, they would smash him to pieces with a slap.
Several friends nearby tried to pull Xiaobai together, but they couldn't move him at all. Someone tried to cover his mouth, but couldn't either.
"Give me money! Give me money! You are not allowed to take things for free! If you come to our territory, you must abide by our rules! If you want money, you must work! I go out early and come back late every day to work! I..."
Ye Miaomiao: "..." She looked at him deeply again. Brother Bai, she remembered him. These days, there are many people who only care about territory.
"Money?" Uncle Ying was stunned.
He immediately took out a huge bag from somewhere under his wings.
When the bag was taken out, Ye Miaomiao didn't take it seriously.
Until the eagle's beak pecked open the bag, revealing the divine light inside that almost blinded people's eyes!
There was no telling how many tiny points of light there were, gathering together to form a massive ball of light. As the light poured out like flowing water, Ye Miaomiao felt as if her heart was about to stop and she couldn't breathe.
This is... Ye Miaomiao stared at the divine light blankly, unable to believe her eyes for a moment!
"This is the currency of our Storm Territory. We get it by killing the invading people of God. Whoever has a higher force value will have more divine light. We can exchange it for unimportant things..."
Uncle Ying was originally proud of his wealth, but when he said this, he suddenly felt guilty: he would only exchange divine light for unimportant things, and a level three weapon... should be very important, how could he exchange it for a mere divine light.
He quickly added, "This thing isn't worth much, but it glows beautifully. Spread some on the ground or on the city walls, and your territory will be bright and beautiful. Or you can scatter them on the grass when you're bored, and they'll be as beautiful as fireflies! If you like them, I'll sell them to you at a discount. I can't... I can't exchange them, either. It's up to you!"
Spread it on the city wall? Spread it on the lawn? Ye Miaomiao almost felt dizzy when she heard him say such wasteful and treasonous words.
She took two deep breaths and grabbed Uncle Ying's feathers: "Don't!"
"That's right!" Xiaobai shouted. "You know what I mean by hard work? Look, I leave early and come back late every day, my shoes are almost worn out, and my hands are almost calloused, just to earn a few dozen points. And you think you can rely on these crooked ways to spread evil in the territory?"
"Brother Bai!" Ye Miaomiao shouted, interrupting him. She looked at Uncle Ying affectionately, or to be more precise, at the divine light scattered all over the ground.
If only one divine light was worth 10 points, she wouldn't be so excited. After all, she had just received a more valuable interstellar airdrop not long ago... But!
She had a [Contract (Content): Transaction], and in the transaction, a top-up originally costing 200 points only required 2 Divine Lights! This was equivalent to paying with Divine Lights, meaning she only had to pay one-tenth of the original price, 20 points!
With this calculation, the divine light is not worth 10 points to her, it is a strategic resource worth 100 points!
"No!" Ye Miaomiao was so excited that she wanted to cry. With so much divine light, hot showers, hair dryers, winter outside and summer in the room, and even ice cream, how far away could the day be?
Not far!
She carefully helped Uncle Ying pick up the divine light and put it back into the bag, looking extremely kind.
"Of course divine light is valuable. One divine light is worth 10 points. You probably have several thousand divine lights here, which is equivalent to... tens of thousands of points, right? Uncle Ying, you are already the richest man in Hungry Hungry Territory, even richer than me."
When she said this, Uncle Ying's face lit up with joy, and even the chicken was stunned and clucked foolishly, as if a pie in the sky had fallen and he had won the lottery.
Are they...rich chickens/hawks?
Only Xiaobai was dumbfounded...The divine light is very valuable?
He suddenly didn't know how to take out the hundreds of divine lights in his backpack, because he didn't know how to face the fact that he was a big victim.
After all... every day, going out early and coming back late, shoes almost worn out, hands almost calloused, working so hard for such a long time, in the end...
He, Xiaobai, had already reached the pinnacle of life and became a wealthy man? A second-generation rich man?
What a big villain he is!
Xiaobai: "..." No, it's impossible, this must be fake, he must be very poor.
What territorial friendship, what important mission? He suddenly turned around and quickly left this horrible place.
"But..." Ye Miaomiao didn't pay attention to Xiaobai. Her mind was completely attracted by the divine light. "However, the territory currently does not have so many resources to exchange for your divine light."
"I can list all the specialties in the territory. You can place an order based on the variety and price listed, and then we'll take delivery of the goods."
The chicken seemed to understand but couldn't quite grasp the idea. He just kept shouting, "I want a hundred sesame eggs!"
Uncle Ying glared at him, thought for a moment, and said calmly, "If this deal can be done, I'll go back and report to Tiger King. Don't worry about the flower chicken! There's plenty of food in the Storm Territory, and your territory needs a lot of food too. Don't let him eat it all!"
Ye Miaomiao immediately looked at Uncle Ying with emotion. The eggs were not enough for the whole territory to eat, and she really couldn't sell so many to the chickens.
Uncle Eagle thought that the peacock's saying "chicken is man's best friend" really fooled the people in Storm Territory. Look? He, an eagle, is much more reliable than the peacock!
"Me! I know a lot of chicken coops! I'll go get all the chickens here!"
The pheasant said hurriedly, flapping his wings and rushing out of the territory quickly regardless of Ye Miaomiao waving her hands and saying no, it seemed that he didn't know how many chicks he was going to drive over.
Ye Miaomiao: “…”
Uncle Ying continued, "I'll invest first and buy 50 iron axes, 50 iron pickaxes, and all the tools on behalf of the territory. This..." He hesitated and said, "Is that okay?"
Ye Miaomiao smiled and said, "Of course! There are 16 types of tools in total, 50 of each, which means 800 tools. A total of 20,000 points, which is 2,000 divine lights?"
Uncle Ying nodded quickly.
"The territory can't produce so many tools at once. Can we pay in installments?"
"certainly."
Ye Miaomiao suggested at the right time: "It would be even better if you could help us collect down. Do the birds in your territory need divine light? We are willing to exchange a divine light for a ball of down..."
"Really!" Uncle Ying was surprised: "I really need it!"
There are indeed many birds in the territory living in extremely poor conditions. Compared with land creatures, their combat effectiveness is too low, and they can only serve as observers on the front lines of the battlefield - an extremely dangerous profession.
Many birds were injured on the front lines of the battlefield, and they only had shelter and food thanks to Uncle Eagle's help.
Unexpectedly... Ye Miaomiao actually thought of using a divine light to exchange for these useless "junk". Uncle Ying was so moved that he wanted to fly back immediately to tell them the good news.
"Thank you." Uncle Ying said seriously.
He even discussed the transaction seriously with Ye Miaomiao.
Hard work pays off. After twists and turns and coincidences, the cause and effect that should happen will happen. Friends who are supposed to be friends and deals that are supposed to be done will always have results.
.
At this moment, in the darkness of nothingness, countless codes flashed by, appearing everywhere in the sky, on the ground, and in the air.
The code whirred past, and a voice sighed lonely.
"I won."
"You set up a trap targeting the Human Alliance. To target the territories with the highest affinity, you even rewrote the code, cheating to allow those people to obtain broken contracts. So what? All of this is meaningless. Give up."
There were two crackling sounds of electricity, and no answer.
"They made a deal, and you saw it. You feared the power of humans and led them to misuse the divine light. You also know how terrifying their power would be once they could use the divine light correctly, so..."
"It's all over. The divine light now belongs to mankind."
"Ah..." Just as the voice was about to call out the name, a sharp and piercing friction sound came from the darkness.
"impossible!"
"Really? Do you really think you understand humans better than I do? You overestimate them..." The voice laughed strangely, giving people goosebumps. "This is just the prologue. The real show is just beginning."
The voice was terrified: "What are you going to do? Stop it! There's still time!"
"It's too late, it's already... started. I really can't wait to see this wonderful show, you... you will like it too, right..."
