Volcano Season: 96 Days

Wei Yue: "According to the analysis of the NPC, there was a group of players before, but no player reached level 10 before the end of the Volcano Season. We are a new group."

Yun Mianmian thought of the level 9 abandoned ship Medusa that she had seen on the seabed.

Maybe it was the ship of the previous group of players.

Or maybe it was the ship of an even earlier group of players.

This made Yun Mianmian even more curious.

What will happen after level 10?

Yun Mianmian: "The system says that the Volcanic Season is the last season. If we don't upgrade after the Volcanic Season ends, we will enter a new cycle and the rainy season will come again."

Wei Yue was silent for a moment: "After falling into a new cycle, maybe we will stay in the game forever?"

Yun Mianmian: "Maybe, but if so, what about the previous players? Aren't they also left in the game?"

Wei Yue fell into deep thought, "Or maybe they went somewhere else, such as another level of game space."

Things became confusing.

Yun Mianmian: "It's useless to guess now. We can only know after reaching level 10."

Wei Yue: "What is your island's score?"

Yun Mianmian told the truth: "More than 500."

Wei Yue: "My score is about the same. If nothing unexpected happens, our upgrade time should be about the same."

Yun Mianmian was a little surprised. She thought she was far ahead.

Wei Yue was so confident. He didn't go to her island to see.

As if seeing what Yun Mianmian was thinking, Wei Yue said frankly: "There are people from my district working on your island."

Yun Mianmian clicked her tongue twice, "So you have spies around me!"

Wei Yue explained: "The gang collects information about the strong people in each district, and you happen to be among them."

She was not angry, this kind of thing was normal. When Yun Mianmian hired players to work on the island, she knew that she couldn't keep the situation on her island secret. At most, she could keep it secret from some ordinary players. But for someone like Wei Yue, as long as he wanted to find a way, he would definitely find someone to ask. No matter if he used coercion or inducement, there would always be someone willing to tell.

Moreover, Yun Mianmian and he had always been competitors, so it was normal for him to want to know Yun Mianmian's development progress.

Yun Mianmian: "You know too much."

Wei Yue smiled and said, "I invited you here today because I wanted you to see my island. That way we're even."

Yun Mianmian shrugged, "Okay, let's talk while we walk."

She finished the tea in her cup, got up and walked out.

Wei Yue: "If you don't mind, I'll drive you?"

Yun Mianmian: "Oh? What car? A motorcycle?"

Wei Yue shook her head, "No."

Yun Mianmian quickly saw the car.

It was a three-wheeled vehicle.

Yun Mianmian had seen this kind of vehicle on the streets when she was a child.

It was the kind of three-wheeled vehicle that would make a sound when reversing.

"Please be careful when reversing, please be careful when reversing..."

The appearance and structure of this vehicle are similar to traditional three-wheeled vehicles, but it is an electric vehicle, but it is very slow.

It is suitable for driving on the island, a very old means of transportation.

It is really inconsistent with Wei Yue's temperament to drive such a car.

Especially driving such a car in an English manor is too discordant.

But having a car is better than walking, Yun Mianmian still chose to get in the car.

Wei Yue turned around and asked, "Are you sitting steadily?"

Yun Mianmian: "Yeah, let's go."

Wei Yue took Yun Mianmian around the island. Although the mountain roads were bumpy, the car drove very steadily. Yun Mianmian did not feel particularly bumpy, but felt very novel.

The area of ​​this island is not particularly large, but the environment is very good.

There are green mountains, rivers and hot springs.

The whole manor is surrounded by mountains and water in the middle of the island, not far from the sea.

The manor is like a resort.

When he arrived at the vegetable field, Yun Mianmian found that Wei Yue had hired two NPCs to work for him. There were more than a dozen people working in the vegetable field.

There were also more than a dozen people planting fruit trees on the mountain.

Yun Mianmian asked, "Where did you find so many people to work?"

"There are 20 to 30 people working in the first district, and I asked Hu Yuan for 10 people, so there are so many."

The cohesion of the first district is still strong. With a single order from Wei Yue, dozens of people are willing to come to work.

But Wei Yue must have given a lot of benefits, otherwise, in a survival game, who would be willing to give up their own development and come here.

Yun Mianmian decided to go back and hire more people.

If she could reach level 10 sooner, she would have time to help others level up faster.

Many questions could be answered.

There was only one week left in the Volcano Season, so she had to hurry up.

-After

chatting with Yun Mianmian, Wei Yue posted a message in the area chat of Area 1, asking all players who could not level up in the short term to gather together and help the level 9 players who had bound the island.

Yun Mianmian thought about it and shared her and Wei Yue's findings with everyone in the friend group.

Let friends sprint in the next few days and speed up the upgrade.

According to Wei Yue's investigation, the number of level 9 players who had bound the island was about one hundred.

Among these people, Yun Mianmian has the best development. She and Wei Yue are high-level players in the highest echelon. There are also some players who have only been bound for a few days and have not yet developed well, such as Nie Yangguang, who are considered the second echelon.

The remaining Luo Ze, Luo Luo, and Yun Xiao and Xiao Ruowei who just bound to the island today are the third echelon.

These people all have the opportunity to rush to level ten before the volcanic season.

There are so many people in the whole server, and only more than a hundred people have reached level nine.

In fact, under normal circumstances, few people can reach level ten.

The jump from level nine to level ten is huge.

The development of an island is not as simple as the development of a ship. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It is not something that can be completed by working at the workbench for a few more days as before.

It will take at least a year or two for one person to upgrade.

It is normal that none of the previous batch of players reached level 10 before the volcanic season.

So what exactly is the system testing?

The volcanic season is almost over, and there is no movement in the system, and there is not even a prompt.

Unlike before, it would issue tasks and inform players that those who did not upgrade within the specified time would be eliminated.

Now there is only one week left, and the system only organized a competition to escape from the deserted island, and said nothing else.

Yun Mianmian guessed that this competition was probably for these seed players to earn starfish coins.

The top ten players all received 20,000 Starfish Coins, which can help them buy enough resources to develop the island.

Wen Yushi asked, "But didn't the system say before that players who can safely survive the volcanic season will have the opportunity to return to reality?"

She just found an unowned island today, but the resources on this island are not good, and she is not sure whether to bind it. When she saw Yun Mianmian's words, she immediately clicked to bind it.

Rong Yu analyzed: "I have a guess. Maybe we can only bring everyone back to reality after someone reaches level 10. If no one reaches level 10 before the end of the volcanic season, it means that no one has passed the test and everything will start again in the rainy season."

Nie Yangguang: "The system said before that the volcanic season is divided into three stages, so we are in the third stage now. Why nothing happened?"

Luo Ze: "The frequency of volcanic eruptions recently is the same as before. There is no change. , but the temperature has risen, it's even hotter."

Wen Yushi: "I feel it too. If we were on the boat, we couldn't stay outside at all, but it's okay on the island. The temperature on the island is different from the temperature on the boat. When I was on the boat, the temperature was 45 degrees Celsius. When I just arrived on the island, it was not that hot, only more than 30 degrees Celsius."

Luo Ze: "Recently, many players have said they have heat stroke, all of them are level 8 players."

No wonder Yun Mianmian didn't notice it, because she has been staying on the island.

Yun Mianmian: "But players can stay in the boat and not come out. There is a constant temperature system on the boat."

Rong Yu: "So there is no chaos now. Players who can't stand it are hiding in the boat, but they have to go out, otherwise how can they tie the island."

Wen Yushi: "Yes, I almost fainted when I came out today. If the temperature continues to rise, I can't go out at all. Level 8 players can't even think about upgrading."

Yun Mianmian suddenly realized that it was no wonder that so much time had passed, but there were fewer and fewer players who upgraded recently.

One reason is that unowned islands are hard to find, and the other reason is that the temperature is so high that players don't dare to come out.

Yun Mianmian got the formula for electrolyte water before, and decided to give it to Hu Yuan, asking him to find someone to make a batch and put it in the trading center.

Maybe it can help some people.

This is very effective for heatstroke, at least it can give everyone some relief.

-In

the next few days, Yun Mianmian did not leave the island, but developed the island.

After she increased the manpower, the fish pond has begun to take shape, and today is the time to release the fry.

Opening the island information, you can see that the tasks of orchards, pastures and arable land reaching five acres have all been completed.

Only the fish pond has not been completed.

The island score is currently 600 points.

There are still 200 points left. Yun Mianmian has no idea how to increase it, so she has to discuss it with everyone in the group. Brainstorming will definitely help.

After everyone discussed it, they came up with several ideas.

The first method: build a few more workshops, and each workshop will add 20 to 25 points.

Building five will be 100 points.

However, workshop construction blueprints are very hard to come by. Yunmianmian can only get one per day.

This is when she is lucky.

This morning, she opened three treasure chests, and found a toy production workshop construction blueprint.

The second method is to build a pier. Since it is an island, it needs a pier. Moreover, Yunmianmian's island is too closed. There is no way to go between the island and her residence. To go to the beach, she has to wait for Xiaoyi to fly over. If Yunmianmian hadn't invited players to go directly to her residence, it would be difficult for others to get in.

Of course, this is very defensive, but now in order to increase the island score, building a pier will definitely add a lot.

The third method is to spend Starfish Coins to upgrade all the infrastructure, such as warehouses, breeding houses, greenhouses...

Upgrading them all to the full level will definitely increase the score by several points.

Today is the 96th day.

Time is running out. In order to help Yun Mianmian reach level 10 first, Luo Ze gave her a kimchi workshop construction blueprint.

Luo Luo gave her an oil press workshop construction blueprint.

Nie Yangguang sent over a sauce manufacturing workshop construction blueprint.

These three blueprints can help Yun Mianmian add 70 points. Together with the blueprint that Yun Mianmian just got today, her island score can be increased by 95 points by this time tomorrow.

But to build all four blueprints, more than 10,000 Starfish Coins are needed.

Yun Mianmian's starfish coins are almost used up. She has been using too much recently and bought a lot of flower and fish fry. She only has 6,000 starfish coins left. She

still needs 10,000 starfish coins. Where can she earn them?

Yun Mianmian decided to sell some more things.

Probably to give players some opportunities, starfish coins can always be found in treasure chests recently. A silver treasure chest can get five to ten starfish coins, and a gold treasure chest can get up to twenty.

So players have some starfish coins in their hands.

Yun Mianmian wants to use all the recent output on the island for trading.

It would be best if enough starfish coins can be exchanged this afternoon, and then all four drawings can be started for construction.

Because the construction time will still take a day and a night.

Yun Mianmian came to the warehouse. Without the double, she would need more supplies to earn 10,000 Starfish Coins.

Fortunately, she had harvested a lot of vegetables and fruits in the past few days.

Yun Mianmian put two thousand kilograms of fruits and vegetables, as well as thousands of meat, poultry and eggs on the shelves in one go.

This is almost all of her inventory, leaving only a portion for herself and her family.

This time, the products did not sell as fast as last time, because recently players have also known the importance of Starfish Coins. Not everyone is willing to trade for food with Starfish Coins, and everyone's demand for food has also decreased.

Food can be found in treasure chests and can also be bought in the mall.

Although the fruits and vegetables sold by Yun Mianmian taste better, more and more level nine players have put food on the shelves in the trading center recently, and everyone has bought enough.

Yun Mianmian's things have not been sold out even after several hours of being put on the shelves.

In this case, she will not be able to get enough Starfish Coins today.

After exchanging more than 5,000 Starfish Coins, and adding the rest of her own, Yun Mianmian first rushed to build a toy workshop and an oil press workshop.

There were more than 3,000 Starfish Coins left, and Yun Mianmian planned to use them to upgrade the breeding room and buy flower seedlings.

Yun Mianmian couldn't do the other two blueprints herself, so she returned them to Nie Yangguang and Luo Ze.

Hu Yuan helped her think of a way.

Let her rent the workshop on the island to the players of the guild and collect Starfish Coins as rent.

Including the one just built, Yun Mianmian currently has a total of six workshops, including the mill, sausage baking room, bakery, elementary jam workshop, and the unfinished toy workshop and oil press workshop.

Yun Mianmian has no time to take care of it anyway, so it is better to rent it to the players in the guild, collect Starfish Coins every day, and let the players deal with the harvest themselves.

The rent of a workshop is 100 Starfish Coins a day, and six workshops can get 600 Starfish Coins.

The land can also be rented out, and the vegetable fields can be planted and harvested.

The pasture can be used to graze cattle and sheep.

All of these can be rented out to others to do. As long as Yun Mianmian collects rent, he can earn a lot of Starfish Coins and provide benefits to the guild members.

Many level 8 players in the guild are willing to do so. They also have some Starfish Coins saved in their hands. They don’t have a thousand, but they can take out a few hundred.

As long as ten people are willing to take out a few hundred, they can get thousands together.

Yun Mianmian can use these Starfish Coins to upgrade the warehouse and breeding house.

This is a good idea.

Yun Mianmian listened to Hu Yuan's suggestion, selected several players from the union, and after signing the contract, handed over the rights to exercise several workshops on the island to the players.

As for the ranch, vegetable field and fish pond, Yun Mianmian did not rent them to others, but let Gu Fang take care of them.

Although Gu Fang could not take out many starfish coins, Gu Fang had been producing on them with the production team, and the output was very high, so Yun Mianmian still felt more at ease to hand it over to him.
