On the farmland of the territory, Sun Chen, who had been busy for half a month, was pleasantly surprised to find that the crops that were still showing as "growing" yesterday had all become "harvestable" today.
Two weeks ago, Ye Miao encountered a traveling merchant and bought five plots of primary farmland and two plots of intermediate farmland. According to the system settings, primary farmland can only grow wheat and rice, and the harvest is fixed, making it ideal for beginners to practice. Intermediate farmland can grow wheat, rice, beans, potatoes, and melons, but the harvest is not fixed. If the crops are well cultivated, the harvest will certainly be higher than that of primary farmland, but there is also the possibility of failure.
There were some ready-made seeds in the warehouse, dropped by monsters. After careful consideration, Sun Chen planted wheat on two of the primary farms and rice on three, and pumpkin and sweet potato on one of the intermediate farms.
It doesn't take much time to work on a few fields. Every morning, he, Lu Weiwei and Su Xinran come together to water, fertilize and kill insects, and then go out to pick the fruits as before, which is considered an extra job.
Seeing the crops ripen, Sun Chen immediately called Lu Weiwei and Su Xinran to help with the harvest. As the three of them gathered and walked into the fields, they discovered that harvesting the ripe crops wasn't as difficult as picking them outdoors.
When picking crops outside, each time you pick something, it's like triggering a set of fixed actions. A progress bar will be displayed above the crops being picked. The level of your picking skill affects both the speed of the progress bar and the amount you pick each time.
But now, as the three of them just walked into the farmland, they saw the display on the farmland: The crops are ripe, do you want to harvest them?
Lu Weiwei subconsciously pressed "Yes". The next second, the 1 square meter of farmland in front of her was instantly cleared, and Lu Weiwei had an extra set of things in her hand, which read: Wheat*50.
"How convenient!" The three of them showed joy on their faces, and then harvested the remaining plots of land one by one, and obtained a total of 100 wheat*, 150 rice*, 30 pumpkins, and 40 sweet potatoes.
"It seems that the standard yield of wheat and rice grown in primary farmland is 50 per square meter." Sun Chen said to himself.
It's difficult to directly determine the yield range of intermediate farmland. Their pumpkin and sweet potato harvest seems smaller than their wheat and rice, but that's probably due to the higher levels of these two crops. To truly understand the yield difference between primary and intermediate farmland, you'd have to try sowing wheat and rice on intermediate farmland.
——Sun Chen inadvertently came up with some rigorous ideas about doing scientific research, and then went to knock on Ye Miao's door and gave her the harvested crops according to the previously agreed 50-50 split.
In the stone house, Ye Miao was packing up to move to the brick house, while thinking about the big enemy, the Fearless Settlement. It was a pleasant surprise to see Sun Chen coming to deliver something.
"What a good harvest!" she exclaimed.
Sister Jin has the Grinding skill, which allows her to grind wheat into flour. Rice is even more convenient, as the rice in the game can be directly made into rice. As for pumpkin and sweet potato, they are also good ingredients.
Sun Chen said tactfully, "If I had more farmland, I could grow more things."
"I'll look for traveling merchants again if I have the chance." Ye Miao said.
She also wanted more farmland. What Chinese person didn't like the expanse of fields? Unfortunately, the last time she encountered a traveling merchant was when she had just upgraded her camp. She was so broke that she wanted to spend every last bit of gold in her pocket.
Things were different now. Although upgrading the settlement had cost a fortune, her income had increased significantly thanks to the previous development. She could make a small profit from selling equipment and medicine at the grocery store every day. The recent surge in newcomers and the sale of houses had also helped her quickly recoup some of her funds.
In addition to the newly opened taxation function and the income from rubbing the Pixiu, Ye Miao had originally planned that if he encountered traveling merchants again, he would buy a batch of farmland and expand it in his territory.
Now that Sun Chen had brought it up, Ye Miao thought about it and decided to go to T City again today to see if she could find any traveling merchants. T City was a long way away, and while she would encounter monsters along the way, it also provided plenty of time to relax and think, perfect for her own thoughts. She needed to think carefully about the issues surrounding the Fearless Settlement.
Ye Miao then left the settlement with his backpack on his back. Fang Yuming followed silently. After walking for a while, his professional acumen allowed him to notice something, and he finally called out, "Ye Miao."
Ye Miao turned around, and he took a few steps forward, looked at her and said, "You seem to be worried about something?"
"...Hmm." Ye Miao thought for a moment and said without hiding anything, "I'm thinking about the Fearless Settlement."
Fang Yuming was startled: "What are your plans?"
Ye Miao tutted her lips. "Survival in troubled times is not easy. Knowing they hate me, of course I'd better kill them. Otherwise, when they grow stronger, they'll definitely come to cause trouble again. But..." She shook her head. "You saw what happened that night. The fighting power of the Fearless Settlement is much stronger than our members. It's a bit difficult for me to fight dozens of them alone."
Fang Yuming was silent for a moment: "I can help you find someone."
Ye Miao was stunned.
"My classmates and seniors in the police academy are also very good fighters, but most of them have lost contact after the apocalypse. I can try searching their names and adding them as friends." Fang Yuming said.
The simplest way to put it is: we gather people! When both sides have about the same number of people, we go and attack them!
“…” Ye Miao fell silent, not knowing whether to agree or not.
On the one hand, Fang Yuming's method was simple and crude, but he seemed unsure whether he could find enough people. On the other hand, from his words, she could tell that he probably didn't know those people very well. Most of them were just schoolmates, not "life-long friendships."
With such a relationship and no contact for a long time, you suddenly contact them and ask them to come over to help you slaughter other people's territory?
It’s not appropriate!
Fang Yuming seemed to see Ye Miao's hesitation and said with a smile, "I'll find someone to try first. You can also think of other ways."
"Okay..." Ye Miao nodded. Fang Yuming didn't say anything else, nor did he continue to follow her. He turned around and went back to the settlement.
He hoped that he could really help, so since he said he would call for help, he would concentrate on calling for help and try to get as many as possible. He didn't plan to go monster hunting today.
Ye Miao continued walking towards T City in silence. A few dozen meters behind him, the agile Yi Hang was forced to slow down his pace and asked impatiently, "No, Chu Cheng... are you going to ask her to join you in killing monsters?"
"I'm planning on it." Chu Cheng looked at the figure not far away and said indifferently, "Didn't you enjoy killing monsters yesterday?"
"That's awesome, so let's hurry up and catch up!" Yi Hang gritted his teeth. "This place is open right now, and you can still see people from a distance. Once we get into T City, where there are only buildings, it'll be easy to lose them! What are you hesitating about?"
Chu Cheng curled his lips: "Can't you tell she's thinking about something?"
Yi Hang: "What does that have to do with you?!"
Chu Cheng: "You know someone is worried and you still bother them. Do you have any sense of public morality?"
“…” Yi Hang was furious.
Shen Ruhuan curled his lips: "Wrong idea."
Chu Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Shen Ruhuan looked back confidently: "If you really care, go ask her what's on her mind. There are only these ways to play in the game, and we are all advanced players. What if we can help?"
"No, what do you mean by 'off'..." Chu Cheng wanted to deny it, but Yi Hang pushed him: "Go quickly! Go and find out clearly. If you can help, we can go together. If we drop any equipment, we can share it, okay?"
In the woods not far from the settlement, Su Xinran and Lu Weiwei didn't bother to pick the fruits, but instead focused on using their skills on the sika deer cubs in front of them.
They weren't very good at fighting, but they had been picking with Sun Chen for a long time, and their picking skills were rising steadily. Later, Sun Chen took them to farm together, and both of them unlocked their planting skills. Their lives had been very fulfilling recently.
But they are veterinary students after all, and when it comes down to it, they have the highest level of animal training!
They hadn't been able to tame animals before because they had never encountered a species they could catch. But a herd of deer had recently arrived in the woods. The adults were considered wild monsters and aggressive, while the young ones appeared to be catchable. Su Xinran and Lu Weiwei were envious.
They didn't kill the fawns yesterday because they were all with the herd and easily surrounded. But today, they saw three fawns running out on their own and immediately seized the opportunity to run over!
After more than a dozen attempts, all three fawns were successfully captured, turned into pets, and became extremely docile.
The panel displays:
【Name：Sika Deer】
【Quality: Blue】
Level: 12
[Health: 1000, Mana: 1200]
[Attack: 500, Agility: 2000, Defense: 800]
【Category: Combat】
[Description: Upon reaching adulthood (level 20 and above), you can automatically master the skill "Antlers Charge" and participate in combat, dealing physical damage to enemies. You can also ride one, but this will consume a significant amount of health for both parties involved.]
“!!!” Lu Weiwei and Su Xinran were overjoyed.
It wasn't just for combat, it could also be used as a mount! Looking at its impressive agility at only level 12, they both realized almost simultaneously that this mount was perfect for escaping!
For these two weak fighters, escaping is extremely important.
In joy, the two looked at each other and then at Sun Chen at the same time.
"Sun Chen." Su Xinran called him, "This sika deer has good attributes. How about we each get one?"
"Huh?" Sun Chen was stunned for a moment, scratching the back of his head awkwardly, "How can I be so embarrassed..."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Lu Weiwei took over the conversation with a sincere look on her face. "We two are weak fighters, and we couldn't find any monsters to tame before, so we're useless in the territory. Thanks to you for taking us to harvest and farm, otherwise we wouldn't be able to survive."
"That's because our boss is a good person. I just want to find two helpers for myself..." Sun Chen continued to be polite, but Lu Weiwei had already walked up to him with a little deer in her arms and pressed the "Give" button without saying anything.
"...Okay." Sun Chen had no choice but to accept it. He stroked the fawn's furry head while pondering, "It can be ridden and runs fast. Let's quickly raise it to adulthood. That will save a lot of time on the way to pick it, right?"
Su Xinran was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That makes sense."
While picking fruit outdoors wasn't as dangerous as fighting players, it was always arduous. The harvest outside wasn't as neatly arranged as in the settlement's farmlands; most of it was scattered haphazardly. For example, there were seven or eight berry bushes here, and another seven or eight a few hundred meters away. They toiled through small patches like this every day. Regardless of whether it was tiring or not, the time they wasted wasted wasted immensely.
If the sika deer grows more agile, the journey time could be cut in half by riding them!
In T City, Chu Cheng, encouraged by his teammates, caught up with Ye Miao and asked her about her worries. But after asking, he didn't rush to say anything. Just then, they arrived at the monster spawning area, and the group rushed in to spawn with great pleasure.
Now, they knew of three monster spawning spots in City T. One of them was the Blood Corpse spot that Ye Miao was familiar with. It spawned once a day, with hundreds of monsters each time.
The other two were ones that Chu Cheng's team had fought before. One was a spider monster in an office building in the south of the city. They also came in groups, and the little spider could kill thousands of them without paying attention. However, the average drop rate of each one was lower, and it was also easy to cause claustrophobia.
The last one is in the hospital. There are no monsters, only two big bosses.
One focuses on physical attack, called "The King of Medical Trouble", has a defensive skill [Shameless] that can resist all attacks, and a brutal attack skill [Unreasonable]. When releasing the skill, he rushes around and swings his steel knife wildly, causing a critical hit every time.
The other is a spell attack called "Internet Addiction Expert". The main skill is [Blessing of Lightning]. When the skill is cast, the room is filled with thunder and lightning, leaving nowhere to hide. It can not only cause huge damage, but also has a paralyzing effect.
The last time Chu Cheng's team entered the hospital, they didn't know Ye Miao yet. They defeated the king of medical trouble, but were defeated by the Internet addiction expert.
They were paralyzed when the Internet Addict expert unleashed the first wave of [Blessing of Lightning]. They had no choice but to withstand the skill, but as archers, they were ill-suited to such a task. Fortunately, their base health at max-level combat skills was significantly higher than that of ordinary players, allowing them to escape unscathed. Otherwise, the grass on their graves would be three feet tall by now.
After killing monsters with Ye Miao yesterday, they became eager again and felt that they could challenge this boss again.
Because—Ye Miao is really tough! She's fearless thanks to her high HP and defense, often too lazy to dodge skills, leaving a group of squishy archers feeling jealous.
So after defeating the Blood Corpse, Chu Cheng told Ye Miao about the hospital dungeon and said, "We'll fight the Medical Trouble King, and you fight the Internet Addiction Expert. The reward will be 46 points, and you take 6. How about that?"
Ye Miao thought about it seriously and said solemnly, "Let's fight together. I know how to block the damage. Just listen to me. The reward will be 50-50."
Chu Cheng: "Still 46."
"No..." Ye Miao gave a stiff smile. "If you don't mind, I won't take more of the hospital's reward, but I won't fight Spider anymore, but you can still give me one-sixth of the reward. How about that?"
Chu Cheng was stunned: "Spider is not difficult?"
In Chu Cheng's opinion, beating spiders is much easier than taking damage from Internet addiction experts.
He still remembered Ye Miao's crazy killing in the spider swarm yesterday. When the Shadowless Sword skill was unleashed, there were countless spider corpses all around.
Ye Miao also recalled yesterday, but her scalp tingled: "It's not difficult, but disgusting!" She felt sick just thinking about that scene.
"..." The five people stared blankly at the brave and warlike girl in front of them.
After at least ten seconds, Yi Hang said in disbelief, "Hyperphobia?"
"Yes!!!" Ye Miao held his head.
"Pfft..." Yi Hang laughed unkindly. Chu Cheng slapped him on the head and said to Ye Miao, "No problem. Wait for us outside. The reward will be divided according to your agreement."
Ye Miao raised his hands and made a heart shape on his chest: "A grateful heart."
"Yeah." Chu Cheng nodded, and the five-member group strode towards the office building that was not far away.
Ye Miao watched them walk into the terrifying building, and then saw the four people except Chu Cheng holding their heads and laughing wildly.
Damn it!!!
What's so funny!!!
Those are spiders!!! They are swarms of spiders!!!
How could anyone not be afraid of swarms of spiders?!
Chu Cheng was very tense in front of Ye Miao, so tense that he walked into the office building door, turned his head and smiled twice, then subconsciously looked outside the door and glanced at the blurry shadows outside.
"She's such a good fighter, yet she's afraid of spiders!" Yi Hang teased.
"That's normal." Chu Cheng's smile was still on his lips. "I'm afraid of cockroaches in the south."
Four team members: "..."
Ye Miao was waiting outside angrily. He turned his head inadvertently and his gaze paused.
——She had never been very lucky in the game, but today she was lucky for once. She was thinking of looking for a traveling merchant before leaving home this morning, and there he was!
Moreover, this time the traveling merchant should have just refreshed here, and there were not many players surrounding him. Ye Miao immediately rushed over to queue up, and after four or five people, it was her turn.
Quickly flipping to the farmland purchase screen, Ye Miao spent a hefty 18,000 gold to purchase 50 primary farmlands and 10 intermediate farmlands. As for advanced farmland, she certainly wanted it, but at 3,000 gold per square meter, it was too expensive. She would have to wait until the settlement's financial operations improved further before she could afford it.
She bought the farmland and a blind box, and after waiting for a few minutes, the five-person team quickly finished the spider copy in the office building.
The characteristic of the rewards dropped from the Spider dungeon is that they are of various types but not refined. A lot of materials and gold coins can be dropped in a mess, but high-level equipment and cards are almost never seen.
One advantage of this kind of drops is that they are easy to divide when a group is killing monsters, especially for high-level players. Since there are no very good things, they can just divide them equally.
So Chu Cheng took out some materials and gold coins and gave them to her, and everyone walked towards the hospital together.
Chuxin settlement.
Wang Yong's business team sold out all the goods they had brought in from the "Get Rich Overnight" settlement in just half an hour, and then began to pick and choose new goods to sell at the next place.
Their business trip team has always operated in this way, but this time, shopping seems to have become extremely difficult.
Team member Zheng Sisi sighed, "Alas, after visiting a get-rich-quick settlement, everything seems expensive now!"
"Yeah." Li Han nodded. "I did some serious calculations yesterday. The only thing that's expensive about getting rich overnight is the accommodation. Everything else is ridiculously cheap. At Chuxin, accommodation is only 20 gold, which is like getting something for free. But the price of the goods... it's hard to say whether you can make a profit."
Captain Wang Yong had been pondering this for a long time. After hearing the members' summary, he asked, "How much did we earn in total from the things we bought during the overnight wealth event?"
Li Han said: "After deducting various costs, the net profit is nearly 20,000 gold."
"This is simply huge profits." Wang Yong said to himself.
really.
They'd teamed up to trade a few days after the apocalypse, but they'd only managed to earn a hard-earned living. Prices were similar everywhere, and they'd only make a 10-20 gold difference per item. Occasionally, a misjudgment might even result in a loss. So, a single trip around T City would only net them a few thousand gold, and if split evenly between them, they might not even make 1,000.
However, the prices of goods in the Get Rich Overnight Settlement are only one-third or even one-quarter of those in the outside world, and the prices of equipment are about one-half. However, equipment is the type that is least likely to be unsold.
Such a business trip is naturally profitable. They originally thought the accommodation was too expensive, but now it seems that even if it doubles or triples, they will still make a profit.
Wang Yong pondered, "I have an idea... What if we change our business strategy and stop circling around T City? We can buy goods from Overnight Rich and then sell them elsewhere. What do you think?"
Wang Yong felt that this way he could only make money and not lose money.
Zheng Sisi: "Then I have a better idea."
Wang Yong: “?”
Zheng Sisi said seriously, "Why don't we just join the overnight rich settlement? Logically, their prices are so low and everyone's happy. They don't even want to work overtime. Obviously, the standards for handing over supplies and taxes aren't very high. Then what's there to be nostalgic about in our previous settlement?"
“…” The other team members fell into deep thought.
Indeed, although they hadn't inquired about the tax rules for getting rich overnight, the atmosphere alone suggested that their settlement had lost out. In reality, their settlement taxes were so high that it was difficult to make ends meet. The reason they weren't kicked out was because the merchant teams could bring goods back from outside to supplement their settlement's needs. This was, in a sense, a necessary condition, and the territory owner was willing to give them a break.
They used to be very grateful for this kind of "leniency", but in the face of a better life, the "leniency" under exploitation becomes insignificant.
Wang Yong immediately made up his mind and said, "Let's go and get rich overnight. Apply to join!"
"Great!!!" The team cheered immediately, as if everyone had forgotten how they had been cursing and complaining about the expensive accommodation in someone else's settlement inn two days ago.
Reality is such a slap in the face.
In T City, Ye Miao received several notifications of successful house transactions on his way to the hospital.
Three of the five newly built brick houses have been sold, and if you count the one she occupies herself, there is only one left.
It seems that this time she underestimated the financial resources of the members. After all, as the game has been going on for a long time and the number of members has increased, there are more and more wealthy people.
Then go back and build a few more. Each one nets you 4,000 gold! It's a waste not to make money!
After closing the notification panel, the hospital was right in front of them. The team first went to the third floor and easily defeated the [Medical Trouble King], and then went to the fifth floor to fight the [Internet Addiction Expert].
In a large treatment room, the Internet addiction expert was wearing a pair of gentle glasses, a white coat, and a perverted smile. He looked like a beast in human skin. Anyone who saw him would think that he was the one who deserved the electric shock the most.
The six-man team rushed in, and quickly and tacitly deployed their formation. Ye Miao took the lead and held the boss back at close range, while the five-man team shot arrows from a distance, using the concrete pillars and beds in the room to block the occasional electric light emitted by the Internet addiction expert.
However, these wisps of lightning thrown out are just ordinary attacks of the Internet Addiction Expert. The ultimate skill [Blessing of Electricity] cannot be blocked by these things and will form an electric grid covering the entire house within three seconds.
Yi Hang still remembers the pain of being electrocuted and feeling numb all over. He was on edge the whole time, keeping a close eye on the boss, fearing that he would suddenly attack with his own skills.
“Ha——!!!” The boss suddenly shouted to the sky, raised his arms high, and lightning condensed between his hands.
This is the skill pre-swing of [Blessing of Lightning]!
The five-member team, who had suffered psychological trauma from the electric shock, held their breath instantly. The opponent's skills had not been released yet, but they seemed to be numb all over.
"Hit hard!" Ye Miao said softly.
In the instant when lightning exploded in all directions, the rapid increase of adrenaline allowed the five archers to clearly see every detail of the scene in front of them - they saw Ye Miao taking the opportunity of leaping up to lift both swords into his left hand, doing a somersault in the air and then landing on one knee, while smashing his right hand hard on the ground.
With a loud "bang", the ground in the treatment room collapsed in all directions with Ye Miao as the center. The Internet addiction expert who was about to use a skill lost his balance and fell backwards. The skill was interrupted, and the electric light that was about to expand was instantly retracted.
"Damn." Yi Hang couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Ruhuan: “Awesome!”
However, before the five people could react, Ye Miao quickly stood up, took advantage of the 3-second stun effect after the heavy blow, turned around and kicked, and in a flash he had two swords in his hands and stabbed the Internet addiction expert several times.
Soon, a [Furious] state popped up above the Internet addiction expert's head, and he raised his hands to use his ultimate move, but was interrupted by Ye Miao's heavy blow again.
The archers finally came back to their senses from their amazement, took advantage of the 3-second stun, and started a round of continuous shooting.
In the following rounds, whenever the Internet Addiction Expert was about to use a big move, Ye Miao would quickly interrupt him and give him a 3-second stun gift package.
However, each [Heavy Attack] consumes 12% of the maximum physical strength. Ye Miao's physical strength was not full when he came in. After using [Heavy Attack] 5 times, it was less than 12%. However, the Internet Addiction Expert's health was estimated to be several thousand, so it was difficult to kill him with one blow.
Seeing the Internet Addiction Expert raise his hands again, Ye Miao cast the [Shadowless Sword] skill but did not attack. Instead, he used the [Shadowless Sword]'s 5.25x speed to instantly rush in front of the five people and shouted: "Get behind me!"
The battle was fierce. The five-man team had no time to think and subconsciously followed orders, and they all moved behind Ye Miao.
The next second, lightning suddenly spread out, and Ye Miao crossed her arms to block it, a unique defensive posture in the game. Almost immediately, the lightning struck the intersection of her arms, and her health dropped sharply. However, the lightning did not continue to spread after passing through her, creating a small safe area behind her.
[Blessing of Lightning] cannot be blocked by objects, but players can block each other's light.
In those short two seconds, a popular online emoticon popped up in the minds of the archers at the same time. It was a little pigeon snuggling up to a big pigeon, with the caption: Boss, reliable.
After the [Blessing of Lightning] skill ended, Ye Miao looked up at the Internet Addiction Expert's health bar, stretched his neck, and curled up the corners of his lips into a harmless smile: "Shadowless Sword!"
The author has something to say:
Five Archers: Damn, the last time I saw someone block damage like this was Wonder Woman...
I'll give out red envelopes to 50 random comments on this chapter.
I've been addicted to the rules of strange talk recently, and even opened a salt selection membership on a certain platform just to watch the rules of strange talk, but I kept stepping on mines.
The final result is that I opened my own brain hole...
This article may be queued up, friends who are interested can go to the column to collect it~
(Don't push Jinjiang's rule-based weird stories on me. Actually, after I started writing my own stories, I rarely read them on Jinjiang anymore, especially for the genre I write in. I'm afraid my writing style will be affected, and I'm also afraid that I might inadvertently infringe copyright by being subtly influenced. The styles of Mohu and Jinjiang are quite different, so they're actually better.)
"Cheating Cards in a World of Weird Stories" by Li Xiao
【Copywriting】
Before the world entered the rule-based weird talk mode, Ye Xi was about to draw an online blind box to relax, when a universal rule suddenly popped up:
1. The real world will not be polluted, please rest assured;
2. You are human. No matter when and where you are, please remember that you are human;
3. If you are unfortunate enough to enter the realm of strange stories, please carefully read all the rules that appear before you;
4. Please be skeptical of everything, but don’t doubt yourself easily;
5. Remember to confirm the number of people entering the Kwaidan Realm with you from the beginning. If you remember it later, please ignore this point. The number of people is no longer important.
6. No matter what emergency situation you encounter, please do not forget your role;
7. Rules posted in public areas (such as the walls of the playground) are visible to everyone. Do not show the rules in your private area to others easily unless you completely trust the other party or think it is necessary to show them.
What the hell?
Ye Xi closed the pop-up window in confusion and wanted to continue drawing the blind box, but the original page showed:
[Lucky challenger, congratulations on obtaining a special ability! Please draw a blind box to help you clear the level in the Rules of Strange Stories!]
Ye Xi dully tried to click the mouse, and a blind box slowly opened, revealing a doll wearing a wizard robe. The message read:
[Prophet: The next time you enter the realm of strange stories, the first contaminated challenger will be marked for you.]
That afternoon, Ye Xi entered the realm of strange stories for the first time.
