Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Dungeon Exploration

Although she was busy for a long time the night before, Tang Li still got up very early the next morning.

In one night, Xirang and his younger brother harvested a lot of wheat. Seeing that it was still early for the agreed gathering time, Tang Li simply picked up the wheat and made all of it into steamed buns.

As a result, the total amount of steamed buns in my backpack has reached thousands, which is a great progress.

After finishing cooking, Tang Li had consumed a lot of energy. She took out a steamed bun and started eating it with a "woosh".

Woohoo... It's such a blessing to be able to eat such delicious food early in the morning!

"Chi!" Seeing Tang Li's body covered with pink bubbles from eating, Xirang and his younger brother jumped over curiously, tilting their little heads to watch.

"Do you want to try it too?" Looking at the little ones' big watery jelly eyes, Tang Li stood up and took out two steamed buns.

Then with a "bang", he fell to the ground.

But it wasn't a big problem. She raised her hands high when she fell, so the steamed bun didn't get dirty. Tang Li was very relieved.

"Ji!" Xirang and his younger brother were startled, and they jumped around Tang Li with concern, looking very worried.

"I'm fine. It's just a small price to pay for enjoying a delicious meal." Tang Li bravely climbed to her feet, brushed off the dust (which wasn't there) on her body, and handed the steamed buns to the little ones. "Don't you want to eat? Here."

"Ji!" After seeing that Tang Li was indeed not injured, Xirang and his younger brother felt relieved. They observed Huajuan eagerly for a while before carefully wrapping it in the jelly body.

Immediately afterwards, the little ones, like Tang Li, were filled with pink bubbles of happiness.

"Jiji! Jiji!" It's delicious, so delicious!

The two little guys were jumping around wildly in the yard.

He fell down with a "bang".

After getting up, continue jumping.

Hop around the square of land.

Buried in the soil.

Get up and continue jumping.

"Ah, do you like eating steamed buns so much?" Tang Li felt a little guilty when she saw the two little guys were happy. She had neglected it before. When it came to sharing delicious food, how could she forget the little cuties closest to her?

Tang Li, who knew her mistake and corrected it, immediately started to dig into her backpack: "There are still steamed buns. Do you want to try them?"

"Ji!" Xirang and his younger brother nodded frantically.

After eating the steamed buns, the two little guys jumped around happily again.

"I'll leave a few flower rolls and steamed buns for you to eat when you're tired from farming at home during the day."

For example, the money from selling the items was mailed to me last night, but Tang Li was obsessed with refining medicine at that time and didn't pay attention. The income of more than ten gold coins made Tang Li rich again. She planned to buy some potions before the gathering, and by the way, see if there are any suitable skill books. If she wants to play the dungeon, her current means of attack are still too simple.

After instructing the two little guys to take good care of the house, Tang Li waved her hand and walked out.

As soon as I walked out of the hospital, I saw Li Zi and the others slowly coming from a distance.

"Why are you here? Didn't we say to gather at the gate?" Tang Li ran forward in two or three steps, with a puzzled look on her face.

Li Zi left her boyfriend and hugged Tang Li with a bright smile: "That's what I was planning to do, but I was supposed to give you some wheat, so I came over."

The other three also nodded and traded the wheat to Tang Li without saying a word.

"Actually, it's the same if you give it to us after we finish the dungeon, or it's okay to hoard it for a day or two." The amount of wheat today was more than yesterday, and Tang Li felt that it was too much trouble for them.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal anyway." This is an example to show that there's no need to be so formal.

"Thank you anyway."

"I told you not to be polite. It's obvious that we are the ones who have the advantage. By the way, I opened the bronze treasure chest yesterday and got this. Do you want to give it to you? Or should I just plant it directly?" Li Zi took out the high-quality wheat seeds he had opened yesterday.

"Ah, I didn't expect that you could actually produce seeds." Tang Li was stunned, but then she thought that plant seeds could be collected in the wild, and that they producing seeds was also a game setting, so there was no need to be surprised. On the contrary, it was strange that she had not thought of this possibility.

But no matter what, if she can get more high-quality wheat seeds, her second-generation steamed bun plan can be implemented faster.

Tang Li reached out and took the seeds. "This is the second generation of seeds. It needs to be further optimized before planting. If it can produce seeds in the future, could you please keep them for me?"

"No problem." Of course there was no reason for the four of them to refuse.

"Is there still room for improvement in the wheat seeds used to make such delicious steamed buns?" Looking at Tang Li collecting seeds with a look of treasure on her face, He Biduoyan touched his chin in thought.

The delicious steamed buns were already the most delicious food he had ever eaten. He couldn't imagine how such perfect steamed buns could be improved.

"It's true that the taste could be a little richer, but in addition to optimizing and improving the flavor, increasing yield and strengthening certain buffs are also good optimization directions."

Needless to say, increasing production is the stumbling block for her to share delicious food.

Strengthening buffs is also easy to understand. In the real world, many fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, which can strengthen the body, make people smarter, protect eyesight, etc. When used in games, doesn’t it just increase physical strength, intelligence, dark resistance and other attributes?

These are the directions that Tang Li will work towards in the future.

"That's amazing," someone exclaimed, "It sounds like doing science in a gaming world."

"Yes, yes." Li Zi looked at Tang Li with admiration and began to applaud spontaneously.

"Hahahaha, you look so awesome." He Biduoyan scratched the back of his head and applauded as well.

"Don't suddenly clap in public." Tang Li frowned and took out a steamed bun to change the subject. "This is a new product, steamed bun. Do you want to try it?"

How could foodies resist such temptation? Their attention was immediately drawn to it.

Li Zi held out his hand, swallowed his saliva, and asked expectantly, "Is it as delicious as steamed buns?"

"Because it's salty, it should be more palatable than steamed buns. But wait," Tang Li retracted her hand and said to Li Zi, who was looking at her in surprise, "Before you eat it, I'll warn you that the debuff of the flower roll is that you'll be forced to fall within three seconds after eating it. If you can handle that, then eat it."

"Better than steamed buns?" This is what Li Zi is concerned about.

"Forced fall within 3 seconds?" This was the focus of the remaining three people.

"For the sake of delicious food, a little side effect is nothing. Don't underestimate the bond between me and food!" Li Zi didn't hesitate at all and reached out to take the steamed bun.

"We want to try it too!" He Bi Duoyan looked even more excited than Li Zi. Facing Tang Li's puzzled gaze, he smiled shyly and explained, "The four of us are studying at a military university offline. Especially the eldest brother and I are students in the mecha combat department. We have strong control over our bodies. To be honest, I find it hard to imagine us not being able to control our balance wrestling. So please let us try it, please!"

For example, even if the words don't express my meaning clearly, I still look at it with interest.

Are they still students? This was the first time Tang Li heard them talk about real life.

However, she had no interest in the real world. She nodded in understanding and put the matter behind her. She traded steamed buns with them one by one. "I originally planned to make these to improve the taste for everyone, but the debuff was a bit unexpected and I was worried you wouldn't be able to accept it. Since you said so, eat it if you want. I have more here if you're not satisfied."

“Then we won’t be polite!”×4.

Like steamed buns, flower rolls are small in size and suitable for eating. The four of them took a bite of the flower roll out of curiosity.

"Wow, it's so delicious!" Chestnut shed kelp tears.

"There really is something more delicious than steamed buns!" He Biduoyan's eyes widened instantly. "Delicious, delicious, delicious. I can't bear to finish it."

The other two were more reserved, but it was not difficult to tell their mood at the moment from their eyes that lit up instantly.

Leaving aside the debuff, everyone's taste buds had been completely conquered by the flower rolls. After the flower rolls were finished, the four of them started falling down one after another with a "thump".

"oops!"

"Puchi!" It would have been fine if Li Zi and He Bi had said too much, but the gentle and calm Ju Li Zi and the cool guy couldn't express themselves clearly and wrestled with each other in confusion, which was too funny. Tang Li couldn't help laughing out loud.

"How is that possible?" Ju Chestnut was stunned. "We didn't even move."

How could they possibly be found to have fallen on flat ground? If the teachers and classmates at school knew about it, they would definitely use it as a negative example and let it circulate in the school forever, right?

"I understand," He Biduoyan slammed his fist on the ground while half-kneeling on the ground. "First, use this level of delicious food to make us lose our will, and then attack us when we are mentally weak. That's why we fell!"

"That's right, it's because the steamed buns are so delicious that we are dizzy!" Li Zi nodded vigorously, seeming to support He Biduoyan's conclusion.

Tang Li: "..." That doesn't seem to be the case. Aren't debuffs like forced blindness normal in games? Why make it so complicated?

"It's very interesting. I can't control myself and fall down at all." Ci Budiyi stood up, his eyes brighter than ever. "How much are these steamed buns? Can you sell me a few more sets? I want to see if I can break free from this control."

"...No problem, because we added onions and seasonings, and the flower rolls are one silver coin a set." This was the first time Tang Li saw someone say so much at once without being able to express what he meant, and she couldn't help but take a curious look at him.

"Is this the boss's practice? I want to join in too!" He raised his hand excitedly.

"In that case, give me a group too." Ju Ge Li Zi blinked and smiled.

"I want one too!" Li Zi hugged Tang Li's arm. Regardless of whether she practiced or not, she just loved eating flower rolls. "I declare that flower rolls and steamed buns are my favorite foods from now on, no exceptions!"

"Oh, what about the new product I will launch next time?" Tang Li traded the Huajuan to them, and felt a little funny when she saw Li Zi's confident look.

"Ah? There will be new products?" Li Zi was excited but also confused. "I can't imagine what a delicacy on the same level as steamed buns and flower rolls would be like. But if it's pears, then it's definitely fine. But the new products haven't come out yet, right? So for now, steamed buns and flower rolls are unmatched. I'll let my future self decide what happens next."

"The love for food has turned Chestnut into a philosopher."

She was originally worried that the flower rolls would not sell, but the performance of the four-person taste-testing group gave her great confidence.

It was getting late after all this trouble. Tang Li pointed to the yard behind her, "Aren't we going to do a dungeon today? After I send Wheat back, I plan to go to the market to buy some things. I'll also spend some money to set up automatic hosting for the stall selling steamed buns. What about you guys? Wanna make some preparations? Or something?"

"Speaking of buying things," For example, he pulled out a skill book from his backpack as if remembering something. "I wanted to give it to you last night, but you seemed busy at the time and didn't even reply to my message about sending you money. So I decided to give it to you when we meet. See if this skill book is what you need."

Tang Li originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing the skill book called [Eye of Doom], she decisively shut up.

[Eye of Doom] This skill book, which uses the eyes to inflict debuffs on the enemy, obviously belongs to the magic branch of witchcraft. It is completely in line with Tang Li's profession and has additional benefits when learned.

What attracted Tang Li the most was that she herself had the attribute of bad luck. Maybe after using this skill book, in addition to the skills themselves, she could also use supernatural powers to strengthen the skills, just like improving seeds.

Tang Li had a hunch that her idea was likely to come true.

"This book is really suitable for me, thank you, how much is it?"

"Don't thank me, Brother Ci gave it to me." Ju Lizi waved his hand, indicating that the words did not express his meaning clearly.

Tang Li turned her gaze towards the man who couldn't express his feelings: "Thank you, how much is it?"

"It's free. I found it in a treasure chest." He shook his head, emphasizing, "It's a treasure chest I got from farming."

Tang Li: ...Why can't she get such good things when she opens a treasure chest? Damn the European Emperor!

So jealous.

"Even if you get a skill from a treasure chest, you still have to pay for it. After all, not everyone can get a skill book." Although she was so upset that her teeth were about to break, Tang Li remained calm on the surface.

"You can't say that. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have these treasure chests to open."

Tang Li swore that she saw a smile in his eyes, even though his words were not clear.

What are you laughing at? What's so funny?

"Xiao Li, don't be so polite. We are all teammates. We won't charge you for the things that others can use. So don't refuse." Li Zi saw that Tang Li didn't say anything, so he pulled her arm and shook it, and said coquettishly.

"That's right." The others nodded in agreement.

"In that case, I won't charge you for food and medicine in the future. Just ask me directly if you need them." Tang Li thought about it and finally did not refuse.

"Then Xiaoli, take this! This backpack can be expanded by twenty slots. It's the largest backpack I can make so far. I've always wanted to give it to you, but I was afraid you'd have to pay me for it." Li Zi quickly took out a backpack. "Okay, Xiaoli, you take care of the food and potions, and I'll take care of the backpack!"

"Hurry up and take them! I've given them all away, except for you." Li Zi thought for a moment and took out a few more backpacks. "Besides the system backpack, you can stack up to five backpacks. The backpack I sold you before has too few slots. Take these and replace the original one."

"...Thank you." Tang Li felt that the backpack in her hand was particularly heavy. Although she had been very active in starting her life in the new world after waking up, Tang Li actually knew that she was incompatible with this world.

So is it really okay to get so deeply involved with netizens in the game?

"What are you thanking me for? We are teammates, aren't we?" Seeing Tang Li put away the backpack, Li Zi happily snuggled up to her.

"If there is something suitable, we will give it to you." The men who have no life skills and have nothing to give away said they will try their best.

After filling the five twenty-grid backpacks, Tang Li's backpack immediately had a lot more space, but she still went back to put the wheat in first.

"Give this backpack to Xirang," Tang Li said before leaving. She replaced one of the backpacks with the original one and handed the 20-compartment backpack to Xirang. "Put the ripe wheat in this backpack from now on. If there's not enough space, just pile it in the yard."

With the increase of land and the reduction of planting time, as well as the efforts of the little ones, the wheat yield is increasing day by day. If it continues to be piled up like this, there will be no room for space in the yard. Her current backpack space is very sufficient, and compared to that, the family needs it more.

"Ji!" Xirang nodded seriously, puffed out his chest and promised that he would complete the task.

"I'll take care of you at home."

After going out and gathering with everyone, they went to the market to replenish red and blue medicines. As players cannot do without potions when killing monsters and clearing dungeons, the more of this kind of thing the better. Even though Tang Li refined some blue medicine yesterday, it was definitely not enough for a whole day's consumption. Who knows when they can finish the dungeon.

After buying the potion, Tang Li spent money to go to the professional instructor to learn several skills that can be learned at the current level, namely the attack skill [Life Extraction], the control skill [Parasite] and the healing skill [Life Weaving].

Judging from the skills, the Forest Witch is a jack-of-all-trades profession. This type of profession seems versatile, but in fact it tests the player's ability.

Tang Li's original plan was to concentrate on developing her secondary profession, and her combat direction would mainly be to develop mindless turrets, because this was the most worry-free and laziest method. But now that she has teammates, she still slightly adjusted her positioning, while ensuring output, she also provided certain conveniences to her companions.

Since she has agreed to Li Zi's request to form a team, she will do her best.

"Let's go." After completing the shopping, Tang Li and Li Zi each rented a stall, put the items with set prices on it, and the group walked towards the dense forest they had visited yesterday.

Following the route indicated in the task, everyone wandered around and walked in the increasingly quiet forest for a long time, and finally found the cave mentioned by the goblin Karu.

"Is this the entrance to the dungeon?"

Cibudi took out the stone token given by Kalu and stuck it in a stone trough at the entrance of the cave.

As the stone rolled tightly into the groove, the ground beneath everyone's feet began to shake, and the large stone at the entrance of the cave slowly moved away with the sound of a mechanism being activated.

"Shall we go in?" He Biduoyan looked at Cibudaiyi. After Cibudaiyi nodded, He Biduoyan took the lead and walked in.

Generally speaking, professions such as thieves, hunters, and rangers are more suitable for exploration. In "Magic Continent", a reasonable team configuration is generally around ten people.

But their team is incomplete. Among the five people, there is the forest witch Tang Li, the human mage Ci Buzhi, the elf archer Li Zi, who are all ranged attackers, and the druid Li Zi is a nurse. The most suitable person to be the vanguard is the tank with thick blood, so there is no need to say more.

After everyone entered the copy, the copy door closed again.

"Ah!" Before everyone could stand still, the goblin who was patrolling with a bone stick discovered them and rushed up with a howl.

"Be careful!" He Biduoyan, who was at the front, raised his shield to warn his teammates.

[Goblin: Level 10, HP 6000/6000]

Goblins and goblins have many similarities in appearance, but both their looks and temperament are several levels lower. Compared with these goblins, the goblin Karu I met yesterday suddenly looked a lot more pleasing to the eye.

There were five goblins in total. He Biduoyan stopped the one in the front, and then the second goblin was dragged down by Tang Li's entanglement and parasitism. Cibuduyi and Li Zi began to focus on the third goblin, and the remaining two could only hide.

"Pay attention to He Yan's health."

The level 10 goblins were 2 levels higher than Tang Li, the highest level in the team. It was a bit difficult to fight with five goblins rushing over together. Fortunately, everyone's operation was very good. They kited and concentrated fire at the same time, and soon one of them was killed.

The dead goblins drop no extra equipment except some coins, which is normal. After all, there are bosses in the dungeon and their drops will not disappoint people. It is relatively okay for the monsters to be a little stingy.

And these goblins are not really useless. After all, their levels are there, and the experience players get from killing monsters is surprisingly rich.

"It seems that we will have to come to this dungeon more often in the future." Seeing that the progress bar had obviously climbed up a little, he smiled and said, "Example!"

"really."

Everyone was full of energy and still followed the original strategy. He Bi Duoyan and Tang Li each held back one goblin, and then chose one of the remaining goblins to focus their fire on.

After killing the second goblin in the same way, the rest is easy.

After no longer having to run in circles, Cibudaiyi and Li Zi dealt with the remaining goblin even faster than before.

When it came to the fourth goblin, Tang Li was also freed from the control skills and helped the two of them to deal with the goblin.

By the fifth one, the speed was even faster.

After successfully dealing with the first wave of monsters, the lowest-level chestnut was directly upgraded.

"Keep moving forward." After a brief rest to replenish their energy, everyone continued to explore inside the cave.

Soon, they encountered another group of goblins in the winding cave.

"See if you can lure them over one by one." This goblin team has ten monsters. If all of them are attracted over, they will probably be wiped out. Cibudu looked at Li Zi and asked her to use an arrow to see if she could pull a monster over.

"Yeah." Li Zi nodded, drew his bow and shot at the goblin closest to them.

"Swish!" The arrow landed on the goblin, and a damage number appeared. The enraged goblin looked around and soon discovered their group.
