Zhou He looked at the dishes on the wooden table in front of her and was in a state of panic.
She wanted to have a portion of each of the purple-quality Kung Pao Chicken, Twice-Cooked Pork, and Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin, and the blue-quality stir-fried rapeseed, lettuce with oyster sauce, and spicy and sour potato shreds.
But like other people who just moved from Fearless Village, Zhou He's wallet is not rich. Even if these things are sold at less than half the price outside, she dare not spend so much money.
She was very confused for a while. He Kai looked at her and said, "New here, right?"
Zhou He was surprised: "How do you know?"
"Hey." He Kailai shook his head. "Old members don't worry about it that much. They usually just eat one or two things at a meal and rotate them. Occasionally, if they feel like trying more, they buy a few things. They don't really care."
Zhou He: “…”
He Kailai curled his lips and said, "I'm about to close my stall, so I'll sell you the meat dishes at half price. Buy one meat dish and get one vegetable dish free. Today only!"
"Really? Thank you!" Zhou He was ecstatic, and then said, "Well, well, well... Then I'll have one of each!"
I'll order one of each, which is exactly three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes!
He Kailai smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll give you three more staple foods. How about one portion of rice, one portion of noodles, and one portion of steamed bun?"
"Two servings of rice and one steamed bun, thank you!" Zhou He thanked politely while paying. He Kailai replied "Okay" and quickly packed up the food and handed it to her.
Zhou He thanked him again and left the small market with a full load, his steps involuntarily becoming lighter.
Back at the thatched cottage, she opened each lunch box and placed it on the table. The aroma of the delicious food made her dizzy. "Oh my god! So many delicious foods! All in front of me at once!"
Does she deserve it?
In the end, Zhou He only ate a serving of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, a serving of stir-fried rapeseed, and a serving of rice.
The food in the game has additional properties. If you can't finish it, you can add more in proportion. In theory, you can't lose money either way, but it's different at night. Everyone goes to sleep after dinner, and the time it takes to add the food will be wasted while sleeping. Zhou He really can't bear it.
Thinking of this, she felt that the quality of life in the village that became rich overnight was really high. It was so high that players were not afraid of wasting purple-quality food, as long as it tasted good!
How does this feel like the end of the world?!
Early that morning, the "soil and water erosion" mode had been going on for the seventh day. Sun Chen led his team to the edge of the field and finally saw that the crops in the farmland had matured.
During the insect swarm, their fields were in turmoil, and the original 15-day planting period was shortened to just 10. This wave of crops started on the fifth day before the insect swarm, and today is the 12th day, so they are finally mature.
"It seems soil erosion will affect the time it takes for crops to mature, but we plow several times a day, so the impact isn't too significant," Sun Chen muttered to himself. He then inspected several plots of farmland and was thankful that, despite the two-day delay, the yield hadn't decreased.
"Hurry up and harvest, and then start a new round of sowing!" Sun Chen ordered.
The team members immediately set to work, harvesting all the crops in about half an hour and handing them over to Sun Chen. Sun Chen divided the harvest in half, giving half to Ye Miao and half for himself. He planned to give 20% of his own half to Su Xinran and Lu Weiwei. Although the girls had only asked for 10%, he felt that 10% was too little after knowing them for so long, especially since they had already given him chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep!
Meanwhile, Ye Miao, who had taken a long vacation, was strolling around City T. The giant mutant Earthworm King was still standing in the center of the city, looking quite scary.
Fortunately, while the Mutated Worm King is formidable, its attack range is limited, and the streets outside its range are safe. Players can simply maintain their distance and move around normally, without being affected in any way.
In the streets and alleys a few hundred meters away, Ye Miao was looking for traveling merchants while looking at the mutant earthworm king. Every time she looked at it, she felt that this thing looked familiar, but she really couldn't remember at which stage of the game she had seen it.
Damn, if she had known that she would travel to this gaming world one day, she would have played the game seriously and taken notes at every stage!
After passing an intersection and turning a corner, Ye Miao finally encountered [City Merchant·Zhang Lei]. He had probably just spawned there, and there weren't many players in front of him, so the line was short. Seeing this, Ye Miao hurried forward to join the queue. As soon as he stopped, he heard the player in front of the merchant yelling, "Fuck, the purple wand is selling for 4000, why don't you just go grab it!"
A teammate beside him said puzzledly, "Purple equipment has always been this price here at the Merchant! It's really hard to find something that's just right for you. Buy it now!"
"Buy a piece of shit!!!" the mage said indignantly, "I saw a merchant come to our settlement the other day selling purple equipment, and he was only selling it for 2,000 each! It's a pity I was out hunting monsters and came back too late to grab it, otherwise I would have changed into it by now!"
"2000 each?" His teammates gave him a complicated look. "Is the head of the trade group you're talking about Wang Yong or Ren Guoqing?"
The mage frowned: "No, what's wrong?"
"If it's these two, they're from the 'Pure Land,' so they're cheap. Anyone else would be selling it for 3,000+, but the traveling merchant is a system NPC, so 4,000 isn't outrageous."
"Hiss..." The mage gasped, "Isn't this outrageous? Four thousand..."
"I advise you to buy it quickly," his teammate interrupted him without hesitation. "Purple equipment is rare. If you don't spend money now, you don't know when you'll come across it next time. Besides, even if the caravans from the Pure Land come to our settlement frequently, the equipment they bring each time is limited, so you may not be able to grab it."
After some persuasion, the wizard finally made up his mind and spent a huge amount of money to buy this purple magic wand.
When he left the team, he was holding the enviable purple outfit, but he was wailing: "4000 gold!!! I've lost everything!!! Do you know how much gold I have left now? 52!!!"
"Stop yelling, stop yelling, it's embarrassing!" His teammates hurriedly dragged him away. "I'll treat you to dinner tonight, okay? I promise you won't go hungry!"
The master was still howling: "What kind of suffering is this in the world!!! Damn it, I can't live anymore!!! I want to go to the Pure Land!!!"
"Go, go, go, go!" The teammates coaxed him like a child, "Let's apply again in a couple of days. If we're approved, we'll go!"
At the back of the group, Ye Miao, the village chief of Pure Land Overnight Rich Village, felt inexplicably guilty, her gaze wandering. She waited until the two of them were far away before glancing back at their backs, her emotions mixed.
Judging from their previous conversation, they must have tried to apply, but she rejected them. There are many reasons for rejection, it could be that the level is not suitable, or it could be that the profession is not suitable.
Her territory has never deliberately pursued combat power, but she is not indiscriminate when it comes to renovating member applications, and has always worked hard to ensure a balance among various professions.
To put it simply: combat players need it, priests and pharmacists need it, cooks and craftsmen need it, and farmers and merchants also need it.
So if a certain type becomes noticeably more common, she will temporarily stop recruiting that type. The two players just now were likely blocked by this rule.
I'm so sorry...
Ye Miao thought to himself.
Dark night settlement.
After counting on his fingers, he realized that a week had passed since the harvest was poor. The Buddhist lord finally couldn't bear it anymore and paid money as welfare to recruit several farming players.
There have actually always been primary farmlands in the Dark Night Settlement, but no special people have been assigned to cultivate them. Any member who has time will go and tell Li Rang to plant some crops, and then share the harvest with Li Rang.
After the soil erosion, three waves of players failed to cultivate the farmland. The farmland then remained abandoned for four days and is still empty now.
The newly recruited farming player followed Li Rang to the farmland and frowned when he saw the farmland: "Is that all?"
The farmland in the Dark Night Settlement is only 20 square meters.
Li Rang himself regretted it: "If I had known there would be a sudden shortage of food, I should have bought more."
The farmer shook his head. "It's too late to talk about this now. I could plant these first, but the problem is, they take 15 days to mature. Do you have enough food stored to last?"
"..." Li Rang fell silent, fully realizing what distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
That night, a terrible incident occurred outside the Dark Night Settlement's territory. Seeing their food supply dwindling, several high-powered players, driven by their urge to survive, resorted to robbing players from their own settlement on their way back to the settlement.
According to system settings, players in the same territory cannot attack each other within the territory. Outside the territory, the default setting is also to disable damage from attacks on players in the same territory. However, players can change this setting outside of the territory, and these players took advantage of this and began looting.
Hearing that such a big bully had appeared in his territory, the usually Buddhist Li Rang finally couldn't hold back and did some serious work. He drove these players out in time and warned them that if they dared to hurt the members of his territory again, he would hunt them down to the end!
Li Rang was originally a personal trainer. Although he wasn't very good at managing his territory, he was quite capable in combat. So this threat was quite effective. The players who were kicked out quickly packed up and fled, not daring to stay in the vicinity any longer.
Even so, many players were still terrified. While Liu Yin was eating by the campfire that night, she heard the players next to her whispering, "This kind of thing happens once, and it will happen again. Ultimately, it's because there's a lack of resource accumulation, which makes everyone feel insecure! If this problem isn't resolved, I think the boss's threat will only last."
"Yeah, yeah," another player echoed. "Besides, even though those guys got kicked out, they still made some money from the robbery, so they didn't really suffer any loss. If others feel like they can't survive, can't they do the same? As long as they're strong enough, they won't have to worry about finding a new place to stay, and the money they stole will be just enough for travel expenses."
"Yes, this time they just robbed me, but what if next time they not only steal money but also kill me..."
These words drifted into Liu Yin's ears on the wind, making her shiver.
In fact, the robbery targets of those people today were gathering players. She was lucky to have returned late, and the people had already been kicked out by Li Rang, so she escaped.
Now, after hearing what these two people said, she felt that it made sense no matter how she thought about it. What was even more terrifying was that as a gathering player, although she had some combat skills, they were very poor. If she really encountered a villain who wanted to kill her for money, she would not be able to defeat him at all!
Perhaps it was because of the strong wind, but Liu Yin shivered. Trembling, she opened her phone and sent another message to her former roommate: "Siyu, where are you guys? Can I go join you?"
T City street corner.
This time, Ye Miao did not buy primary farmland from the traveling merchants. Instead, he spent 80,000 gold coins to buy 100 pieces of intermediate farmland, and spent 30,000 gold coins to buy 10 pieces of advanced farmland.
The system's description of advanced farmland is that "any plant can be grown", and she plans to let Sun Chen try it out to see what can be grown.
After buying two more blind boxes, Ye Miao turned off the panel and left contentedly.
When she returned to the village, the farming team had just gone home for dinner. After she finished paving the farmland, she went to find Sun Chen. Sun Chen came out and was caught off guard to see that the farmland had almost doubled in size. He almost fell over: "Oh my..."
"Don't panic." Ye Miao quickly supported him and stood in front of the farmland with his hands on his hips. "Well, you'll be a big farmer in the future! You can hire some more people. Considering your hard work as a manager, I'll take 10% less of the harvest. We'll split it 40% and 60%!"
"...Boss is so nice." Sun Chen was a little absent-minded.
For a farming enthusiast, the fields that suddenly expanded before his eyes looked so cool that he could not get enough of looking at them. He was so excited that he was a little dazed and could not care about anything else.
Ye Miao continued, "Now that you're familiar with the primary and intermediate farmlands, I'll leave it to you. I won't be in charge. You can diversify the crop varieties as appropriate. But as for the advanced farmlands..." She paused, "Do you think it would be convenient for me to lead a team out tomorrow to transplant some berry bushes, fruit trees, and the like? Come in and try planting some?"
"Now?" Sun Chen hesitated a little. After all, the soil and water are eroding, and he was afraid that the crops would not survive if he moved them back. If that was the case, it would be better to plant some common crops that were reliable.
"Let's give it a try." Ye Miao thought without hesitation. "Anyway, there's no shortage of food in the territory, and there are only 10 high-grade farmlands. Whether or not the planting is successful, it won't have much of an impact."
"Okay." Sun Chen agreed.
"Then I'll go back." Ye Miao said and was about to leave. Sun Chen admired the vast farmland in front of him for another three seconds, then suddenly came to his senses: "Hey, boss!!!"
Ye Miao paused, and Sun Chen quickly rummaged through his backpack. "We harvested another crop this morning, and I'm giving you a share! We'll split it 50-50 this time, and we'll talk about 40-60 later!"
"Okay, thank you." Ye Miao accepted it without hesitation, put it in his backpack, and walked towards the warehouse.
Entering the warehouse, Ye Miao clicked on the panel to check the inventory.
She had already accumulated some rice and wheat, and she harvested a lot more from the attack on the Fearless Village the day before yesterday, so her stock was particularly abundant now.
Previously, the "staple food supply" in the territory was very stable. On the one hand, Sun Chen, the "farmer", could not cook, so he would sell the remaining part of the harvest. On the other hand, other gathering players would also go to the wild farmland outside to collect. The rice and wheat they collected were no different from those grown by humans in the territory, and would also be directly sold on the market.
But in recent days, although Sun Chen has been able to farm as usual, the harvest from the wild farmland has basically been reduced to zero. When Ye Miao went to the market to buy food this morning, she overheard a stall owner say, "We're out of rice. We didn't buy any last night. We'll have to keep an eye out today." She instantly realized that the territory was actually experiencing a slight food shortage, but it wasn't obvious yet.
The supplies she accumulated as a lord were to be used to deal with this kind of crisis!
Ye Miao then took out 1000 of rice and 1000 of wheat and consigned them to Da Zhuang's grocery store at the normal market price in the territory to make up for the shortage of supplies.
After putting the ads up, she observed the sales and found that after an hour, only 80 packages of rice and 50 packages of wheat were sold.
One portion of rice and wheat is almost one kilogram, so 80 portions or 50 portions are equivalent to 80 kilograms or 50 kilograms respectively. This may be enough for an ordinary family to eat for a long time, but for stall owners, it is just daily consumption.
This sales volume shows that the shortage of supplies in the territory is not serious, and Ye Miao is relieved.
The next morning, Sun Chen, following Ye Miao's instructions, led his team out of the territory and selected crops for transplanting. Planting in the game wasn't as demanding as in real life. For example, planting fruit trees didn't require any specific distance; as long as the farmland indicated it was suitable for planting, it could be planted.
So Sun Chen carefully selected and moved a raspberry plant, a strawberry plant, a blueberry plant, two peach trees, two apricot trees, and two apple trees. In this way, there should be a piece of high-quality farmland left. He planned to plant the cabbage seeds that he had accidentally obtained when he was collecting before, to see if he could grow cabbage.
After returning to the territory, Sun Chen dug out the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and watermelon seeds that had been hidden in the bottom of the box.
Judging from the game's introduction panel, primary farmland is a "beginner's learning tool" and can only grow rice and wheat, while intermediate farmland can grow potatoes, beans, and melons in addition to rice and wheat. Sun Chen had previously prioritized rice and wheat as a safety measure, but now that there are more farmlands, it's time to try something else!
Sun Chen's farming team was busy all morning. Potatoes needed to be cut into pieces before planting, while sweet potatoes were easier to plant whole. Watermelon seeds should be germinated before planting, but the game simplified this step; all they had to do was spread the seeds carefully in the ground.
At noon, the team went to the small market to buy food. After returning, they sat on the ridge of the field to eat. An Yan happened to be standing next to a watermelon field. He looked at the field and licked his lips. "There were no watermelons in the territory before. I wonder if there are any culinary experts who can make watermelon juice. If there is, it tastes best with some ice cubes!"
Sun Chen laughed. "Even if you don't juice it, ice watermelon is delicious! I didn't plant many this time. If they grow well, I'll give one to everyone!"
"Really?" An Yan was full of surprise.
Sun Chen chewed some peanuts from his Kung Pao Chicken and said with a smile, "We've been busy for so long, so I'll give everyone some benefits!"
As they chatted, the small market gradually entered its busiest hour. Players who had gone out to hunt monsters returned to eat, and stall owners seized this opportunity to sell their wares. The merchant teams from the post station also took advantage of this golden hour, all coming out in groups to wander around, making the market bustling with activity.
And for the entire post station, this is of course the quietest time.
Every room in the inn was empty at that moment. In the small hall on the first floor, Lu Gang carefully confirmed that no one else was in the inn before walking out the door, looking around, and heading towards the residential area.
In the "Get Rich Overnight Village," while the residential area was a single entity, it was invisibly divided into several smaller areas over time. Starting with the small red brick houses and courtyards, and including the few villas, it was considered the "luxury residential area." Every one of these luxury residential areas was occupied by a powerful figure from all walks of life.
Moving down, the "Stone House District" is a mid-range option. While stone houses may seem expensive at first glance, and even a bit of a loss considering the square footage alone, they offer additional stats, so poor players won't consider them. Those with decent financial resources will bite the bullet and buy them, while those with even more money will simply opt for red brick houses.
Below the stone houses are wooden houses and thatched houses. Players living in these two types of houses are considered "poor" in today's get-rich-quick villages. They are either new members with little accumulation, or the type who just go with the flow and mess around.
Lu Gang walked hurriedly to the area of wooden houses and thatched houses, always maintaining the same caution as in the post station, avoiding people as much as possible, and quietly looking for the lone target.
Soon, he reached the end of the thatched hut area. There was an open space at the end. A female player was sitting on a large rock, lost in thought. Lu Gang pulled out his dagger, walked over with a menacing look, and pressed the knife against the woman's lower back. "Robbery! Don't make a sound! Take off your backpack and give it to me!"
"?" The female player turned her head and looked at him like a fool.
You must know that the system explicitly stipulates that members cannot attack each other within the territory. Although the lord has full authority over the territory and can modify this rule, it is obviously unnecessary. Judging from the consistent peace in the village that became rich overnight, this setting has obviously not changed.
The threatened female player ignored Lu Gang completely, only thinking about how to save money to buy a stone house as soon as possible. However, the next second, Lu Gang became ruthless and stabbed the short knife in his hand, piercing the female player's lower back with a "Puchi" sound.
-1200
The female player jumped up and stared at Lu Gang with horror in her eyes: "How could you..."
"Hahaha." Lu Gang succeeded, laughing arrogantly, his shoulders shaking. "I'm telling you, don't resist. My combat skills are level 65, and ordinary players can't beat me! Give me your backpack, I'm only after money, not life. Hurry up!"
The female player had already taken out her equipment and the battle was about to begin, but when she heard that his combat skills were level 65, she instantly became timid.
She immediately changed her mind: she was very poor and didn't have much, so if she was robbed, she would just take it, there was no need to risk her life.
After a brief struggle of three seconds, the female player silently handed over the backpack. Lu Gang took the backpack and walked away without any further fight.
This was a loophole in the setting that he discovered accidentally - within the territory, members cannot attack each other, but players who come to do business are not "members".
When he first discovered this, he was not sure it was a loophole, so he found a territory that was very weak at the time to experiment, and found that it actually worked.
After a successful experiment, Lu Gang embarked on the path of robbery.
When it came to robbing, his philosophy was clear: "You can go to large territories, but don't rob big players." Specifically, he couldn't rob high-level players, wealthy players, or players with teams. He only robbed small, isolated players. He didn't mind the limited supplies of small players; after all, they were all looted, and with minimal cost, any amount was always a profit.
This strategy ensured that Lu Gang would never "crash" during his robbery. He would always rob one or two players and then run away. No territory would support a poor and incompetent player, and no high-level player would go out of their way to chase after such an insignificant character.
In the red brick house, Ye Miao, who was still on vacation, got up lazily in the morning and opened the two blind boxes he bought from the traveling merchant yesterday.
The two blind boxes show:
[Name: Ordinary female NPC (players can change the name)]
[Quality: White (Drop Rate 57%)]
[Health: 2000, Mana: 800]
[Description: An ordinary person, but very loyal. Also seems to be good at keeping the room clean and has good taste...]
[Name: Female NPC with some special talents (players can change the name)]
[Quality: Blue (Drop Rate 26%)]
[Health: 1800, Mana: 1500]
[Combat: Level 30, Healing: Level 15, Harvesting: Level 10]
[Skills already possessed: Primary Healing (you can use skill cards to learn more skills)]
[Description: If you love killing monsters, she might be able to help you...]
In simple terms, one of these two is similar to Da Zhuang, who is mediocre and suitable for odd jobs. The other is a combat NPC who can also heal, so it is somewhat useful to bring him out.
Not wanting to bother coming up with a name, Ye Miao searched through the common names in a certain audio movie commentary again, and named the white-quality girl who did odd jobs "Cuihua". The blue-quality girl who could fight monsters had blonde hair, but the most common name "Jin Jie" was already taken, so this one had to be called "Golden Girl".
After naming them, Ye Miao left Cuihua at home to clean up the house—though he didn't know what the point of cleaning up a house in a game was. As for the blonde girl, he temporarily put her in his backpack, intending to use her later when fighting monsters.
After finishing all this, Ye Miao took another nap. When she woke up, it was already dinner time. Too lazy to carry her backpack, she casually grabbed some gold coins and went out, wandering aimlessly in the market.
It’s so nice to be on vacation. Your whole mentality will change and you will feel relaxed from the inside out!
Ye Miao was immersed in a kind of happiness and joy, admiring various delicacies while walking. Before he decided on what to eat for dinner, he had already decided to buy a small cake after dinner.
Chocolate lava cake! I've never seen it before! It's obvious that the members got new cards!
Ye Miao drooled inadvertently.
At the bun stall, Wei Yingying was humbly begging the owner, "Can I have credit? Give me two buns first, and I promise to pay you back tomorrow!"
As she spoke, she complained in her heart: I am so miserable!
But there was no way. When she was robbed by Lu Gang just now, all her medicines, equipment and gold coins were in her backpack. Now the backpack was taken away, and she had nothing left except the clothes she was wearing.
It is true that if she went out to fight monsters directly, she would soon drop some gold coins. Even if it was not much, at least she could afford to buy buns.
But the problem was that she had been killing monsters in the morning, and when she came back at noon and was resting her feet waiting for the territory grocery store to open, it was robbed. Now if she didn't eat something, she couldn't even recover her physical strength, and if she went to kill monsters again, she would definitely die.
But the bun stall owner had no idea what she had just been through. Seeing that she even had to sell buns on credit, he assumed she was a poor new member and said with some pity, "If you don't have money, you can go to the territory grocery store and buy low-priced meals. Those three meals are a guaranteed guarantee provided by the boss, and they are very cheap, much cheaper than the small market."
"I know..." Wei Yingying said bitterly, "But I... I can't even afford the grocery store in my territory. And the stalls there are run by NPCs, so there's no way to negotiate, so I can only come to the market..."
This time, the stall owner frowned. "How is that possible? A meal at the Territory Grocery Store can be had for just a few gold coins. Who wouldn't even have that much money?"
Wei Yingying grew increasingly exhausted, lowering her head and whispering, "I... I was just robbed..."
"Robbed?!" The stall owner was surprised. Ye Miao, who had just passed by the stall, was also stunned when he heard this. He immediately took three steps back and returned to the stall: "Who robbed him? Where?"
Wei Yingying had just joined the "Get Rich Overnight Village" and only knew the owner of this territory was Ye Miao, but she had never met him in person, so she didn't feel any pressure when facing her. She just said with a look of worry, "Just now, over at the thatched hut, a man suddenly came and robbed me. I thought that members of the territory shouldn't attack each other, so I didn't take it seriously. Who knew he could actually cause harm with his knife! I still don't know why!"
"That's impossible?!" Ye Miao was surprised and asked, "What's his name? What does he look like? Tell me everything you know."
"His name...what's it called? I don't know..." Wei Yingying said in distress. "He's big and strong, oh...with a beard! And...he claimed his combat skills were level 65, and the damage he dealt was indeed quite high. It didn't look fake, so I didn't dare fight him..."
"That's weird." Ye Miao had never seen such a thing when playing games before, and he couldn't understand how someone could launch an attack within the territory.
She frowned and stuffed all the gold coins in her hand to Wei Yingying first: "Use these to eat first. If there are any left, buy some equipment first."
Wei Yingying looked down and saw [Gold Coins*329] in her hand.
"That's too much!" Wei Yingying quickly stuffed it back. "Just give me 29! I'll buy some food and then go out and kill monsters! I can fight with my bare hands, so I can buy equipment later!"
"No rush, just pay me back when you have money." Ye Miao said as he opened the panel and added her as a friend.
The next second, Wei Yingying received a prompt: Player [Ye Miao] applied to add you as a friend.
Wei Yingying subconsciously pressed "Agree," then suddenly remembered something and looked up sharply: "Ye Miao?!"
"Hmm?" Ye Miao looked at her, "What's wrong?"
"Boss, boss, boss, boss?!" Wei Yingying almost knelt down before her, but luckily she managed to hold onto the table next to her where the buns were placed. "Boss, please listen to my explanation. I'm not trying to scam you. I really... just... just now... over there..."
"I know." Ye Miao waved his hand. "I don't doubt you. Go buy what you need first. Let me think about the robbery."
She left after saying that, and walked towards the residential area while thinking about something, intending to get some more money to buy food.
Wei Yingying was still staring at her in a daze. When she came to her senses, she found a layer of cold sweat on her forehead.
She wiped the sweat off her face and stiffly asked the owner of the bun stall next to her: "Is the boss usually like this?"
The stall owner didn't understand: "What?"
"Just... so friendly?"
Stall owner: "What else? You're not committing fraud, so is she going to scold you?"
“…” Wei Yingying fell silent, silently complaining: It is worthy of being a pure land, even the logic is different from the outside world.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Miao bought three dishes, a soup, and a rice bowl, plus a chocolate lava cake. Returning to the red brick house, she ate while carefully checking the various settings for the territory. She clearly saw a large check mark next to the "Prohibit members from attacking each other within the territory" section.
That doesn't make sense! Is there a cheat? That's unscientific!
Ye Miao couldn't figure it out. After thinking for a while, he felt that since this person succeeded once, he would most likely do it again.
So she pulled her backpack over, took out Mei and Blondie from it, and asked them, "Can you patrol the territory?"
Xiaomei nodded: "Okay. Please set the patrol range and time."
Ye Miao said, "If you have nothing else to do, take a walk during the day. Prioritize residential areas and remote corners with few people. Don't bother going to markets, farmlands, or livestock pens. There are plenty of people in those places, so nothing should go wrong."
"Okay." Xiaomei agreed.
"If you find a player trying to do something bad, such as robbing, stealing, or attacking other players, hold them down, but don't kill them easily. Just contact me immediately."
"Okay." Xiaomei agreed again, "Don't worry, I'll remember everything."
Outside the territory, Lu Gang ran for more than ten miles along a small path, finally stopped to rest, and opened his backpack.
Today he robbed two people in total, and obtained a total of 5 blue equipment, 8 white equipment, 1274 gold coins, and some miscellaneous food, medicine, ingredients and other materials.
"Isn't this much easier than killing monsters by yourself?" Lu Gang stuffed these things into his bag, and also put the two stolen backpacks in it, with a refreshed look on his face.
He smacked his lips and muttered to himself, "Looks like I can come to this legendary 'Pure Land' often in the future."
He had always been cautious, knowing that the "Pure Land" had a good reputation and thought the rules here would be different.
So after the successful robbery, he didn't leave immediately, but instead found a secluded place outside the territory to wait and see. If a player chased him out, it would mean that this place would protect weak players, and he would have to avoid it in the future.
Now it seems that what is this "Pure Land"? It's all the same! Little players live without dignity wherever they go!
But there are still differences.
Although they were both small players, the items in their backpacks today were significantly larger than those of other small players in the territory. This was probably due to the low prices in the village that had become rich overnight, making it easy for even small players to accumulate some gold coins and resources.
If so, this would be an even better place to rob.
