Chapter 14: Hurrying
Tang Yi held the copper coins in his hands, his eyes shining, "Thank you, sister. I will definitely be filial to grandpa."
Old man Zeng smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. His good grandson was so sensible. "Thank you for your patronage."
Shen Jufeng tried the cumin flavor and had to say that the old man's cooking skills were very good. "Give me two cumin flavors and three spicy flavors."
Tang Yi swiftly handed the rabbit leg to Shen Jufeng and received 15 copper coins.
There were only 10 rabbit legs in total, and these two people bought 8 of them. Even if they couldn't sell the remaining two, they could keep them for tomorrow.
"Goodbye, brother and sister." She didn't forget to say sweet words before leaving.
Lu Jiu didn't care and started tearing the rabbit meat and eating it while walking on the road. "I'll cook white rice later. Do you want to eat with me?"
A good teammate cannot eat alone without saying a word, he must ask his companions if they want to join him.
"Yes." Otherwise, why would he buy so many delicious rabbit legs?

The next morning, after Lu Jiu issued the city-state mission, he and Shen Jufeng set out on a journey to find the black pig boss.
There were more than just the two of them coming out of Xuantian City, but most of them were going to the jungle to earn contribution points. Some of them wanted to go further, so Lu Jiu did not go with them.
This map serves as a navigational tool and will mark their location in real time, making it easy for them to find the fruit forest.
The Hundred Fruit Trees Forest is located in the north of Xuantian City. The most common thing you see along the way is giant forests. It seems that there are not many edible plants outside the scope of Xuantian City.
Because the shoes increase speed, they walk much faster.
Two hours later they were already some distance away from Xuantian City. The journey was very quiet, but they both remained alert.
"There's no reason why we haven't encountered any wild monsters so far away from the city-state." Lu Jiu felt a little strange.
Shen Jufeng wanted her to continue paying attention when he heard a wolf howling, and then looked at her with a slightly disgusted look.
Lu Jiu: “…”
"I saw 10 wolves, all of them were mutant monsters."
【Iron Wolf】(Common mutant monster)
Qi and blood: 350
Attack: 35-56
Defense: 15
This wolf is as tall as a human when standing, with a sturdy physique, and smooth muscle lines can be seen when it runs.
These looked even more ferocious than the wolves they had encountered before, with protruding canine teeth on their upper jaws and saliva dripping from the tips of their teeth.
Lu Jiu didn't hesitate and directly cast the skill Mist Flower. A light purple mist appeared where they and the 10 Iron Wolves were standing. Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng were in a team, so Shen Jufeng's vision was not affected.
A few wolves found that they could not see the surrounding environment clearly and there were two prey, so they began to lower their bodies slightly, showing a posture ready to attack at any time.
Lu Jiu clearly saw the actions of the wild monsters, and Shen Jufeng activated the chaotic effect of the Ring of Death. Suddenly, the 10 Iron Wolves began to attack each other, and Lu Jiu pulled the bowstring to prepare to finish them off.
30 seconds later, several Iron Wolves had reduced each other's health to 30%. Shen Jufeng picked out a few and chose to engage in close combat, while Lu Jiu directly shot arrows and took away four of them.
System prompt: Congratulations on obtaining 2 wolf skins, 3 wolf fangs, 35 glory crystals, and 6 glory dusts...
The rest are copper coins and attribute bonuses. What Lu Jiu cares about are the city-state resources. He didn't expect that these can actually be dropped by killing wild monsters.
There was still one wolf left on Shen Jufeng's side. The iron wolf used its hind legs to pounce on him and bite him, but he was not afraid and punched it directly.
The dull sound of flesh hitting flesh reached his ears, and the iron wolf fell to the ground. Shen Jufeng's punch just triggered a one-hit kill effect.
System prompt: Congratulations on obtaining Wolf Skins*5, Wolf Fangs*6, Walking Street Set, Glory Crystals*50, Glory Dust*10...
Shen Jufeng took a look at the suit, which was a light-colored casual suit. He put on the new suit directly, and his whole temperament became a little lazy.
When Lu Jiu saw his new clothes, her eyelids twitched. It was obvious that they were dropped from monsters. This guy was too lucky!
But it looks pretty good when worn...
After the battle, the fog automatically dissipated and the two continued on their journey.
Before I had walked far, I heard someone talking. Just as I was about to look to see where they were coming from, I saw three pink clouds floating over their heads.
Shen Jufeng took a look and realized that this was the common equipment that Lu Jiu had mentioned. He didn't quite believe it at first, but now he does.
There are three people sitting on each of the three clouds, two men and one woman, all dressed fashionably.
It was obvious that the other party also saw them and even flew over their heads.
One of the women looked at Lu Jiu in a daze, her eyes full of arrogance and contempt, but Shen Jufeng's appearance made her look at him a few more times.
Just by looking at the temperament of such a man, you can tell that he was either rich or noble in the past. She has seen many rich people and has some discerning eyes.
It’s a pity that I’m in a hurry to find the black pig, otherwise I would definitely have to take this man in.
The three of them continued on their way without stopping. As they left, someone muttered, "Look how shabby they are."
Lu Jiu's eyes widened. "Shabby? How can some of the early adopters look down on others?"
The term "first-mover players" was recently used in the conversation channel, referring to players who came into contact with the game before the end of the world. These people have taken the lead.
Shen Jufeng also felt that there was something wrong with the looks of those three people, especially the way one of the women looked at him. He had seen that look many times before.
"Hold steady, this is called keeping a low profile."
Lu Jiu exhaled heavily, "Humph, if I tell you my game name, I guarantee everyone will recognize me."
"Okay." Shen Jufeng comforted, "The area we are walking in is not far from Phantom City, which is a neighbor of Xuantian City. Those people should be residents of Phantom City."
"This is only the first wave of people we've encountered. It looks like people will be coming to all three city-states we pass through."
"That's right, and there are quite a few players who have taken the lead. We will pretend to be ordinary players and hide in the back to observe."
When it comes to serious matters, Lu Jiu doesn't think about those people. Not every first-mover player is low-key, and it is common to think that they are superior to others.
Later, they met several more groups of people. Some of them were walking like them, but soon they changed routes, while some were still sitting on the pink clouds.
The most impressive group was four people standing on a rose pink magic carpet with a large bow in front and a large sapphire inlaid in the center of the bow.
Lu Jiu saw it and muttered, "I have a magic flying carpet too."
Shen Jufeng also recognized the blanket, which was sold in the mall for 1,000 gold coins. Although he could afford it, there was no need for him to buy it.
Fortunately, the shoes provided enough speed bonus, and after defeating two more groups of wild monsters, they arrived at their destination - the Fruit Forest.
Only when I got here did I understand why it was called the Hundred Fruit Forest. All the fruits that people on Earth know grow on trees here.
Lu Jiu took a quick glance and saw more than a dozen kinds of fruits. The fragrance of fruits filled her nose. She decided to pick some fruits to take back after the black pig boss was defeated.
They stopped at the edge of the fruit forest and found a secluded place to hide.
There were already some people gathered in front, and some of the showy mounts were not collected. They just looked at the magic flying carpet that displayed XXX when the mount was unmanned.
This is invisible pretense, and it is the most deadly.
