Chapter 273 Resources Not Refreshed
The dark green lizard-like monster was hit by a beam of white light as soon as it opened its mouth, and was frozen on the spot, unable to move.
Then the long sword, broad sword and whip attacked the wild monster together.
The wild monster that was originally planning to show off its skills suddenly died.
Lu Jiu took back the item in her hand. It was a toy gun that looked like something a child would like. It was dark blue in color. She had obtained this item when she killed other monsters before, and this item was unlocked in her own item bar.
[Ice Cube Gun: Use this item to fire ice cubes to freeze hostile targets for 2 seconds. It is ineffective against Gold Mutation and above hostile targets. This is a one-time item.]
It's not that the gun is disposable, but the ammunition inside.
"This prop is quite interesting. If I make more and sell them myself, I'm sure someone will buy it."
After the monsters were all dealt with, Shen Jufeng saw Lu Jiu playing with the toy gun very fondly. "This item is not much, you might as well keep it for yourself."
Even if he was lucky and got a lot of rewards, he had only gotten 3 of these items so far.
Lu Jiu still used her own.
Lu Jiu: "Come to think of it, it's better to use your own skills. I'll use this when I deal with the BOSS later."
Otherwise it feels like a waste.
The sun was very bright, but no one felt very hot. However, it was already 40℃, and it was almost the end of April.
Zhuang Yun looked up and found the sunlight too glaring. "What month is it already so hot? What's it like in a real hot summer?"
Yong Lin felt refreshed. "Thankfully, I have the cooler, but there have been fewer wild monsters lately, both in terms of spawn frequency and the number of monsters in a batch."
In the spring, it was normal for them to encounter dozens of waves of wild monsters a day, but this number began to drop sharply in the past few days.
Lujiu also discovered this problem, "Maybe the refresh amount varies with the season."
Shen Jufeng shook his head. "Not only that, in winter, although there were fewer monsters, the rewards were significantly increased. Now, the number of monsters we encounter is less, and the rewards are not much either. They are even less than before."
This also led to them recently letting Shen Jufeng deliver the final blow.
Lu Jiu crossed his arms, "It can't be a natural disaster..."
When the game was first updated, it was announced that the novice protection period was over, and not only was the four seasons cycle online, but natural disasters were also available.
Zhuang Yun: "It's possible. An An said that the amount of grain collected is slowly decreasing. In the past, two or three plants could yield 10 to 20 kilograms, but now it's down to less than 10 kilograms, and it's still decreasing."
Lu Jiu: "I guess because more resources were allocated to us, the production volume has been reduced. Fortunately, we have enough grain stored."
At this time, food storage becomes so important. She also understands why the country attached so much importance to food storage in the past. Food is truly the most important thing for the people.
"Forget it, it's getting late, let's go back first."
The four of them felt that they probably wouldn't encounter many wild monsters if they continued walking, so they decided to go back and rest.
·
It was past six in the evening and the sky was still bright, and the sun had not yet completely set.
When they came out of the forest, they saw the towering city walls and the fields around them.
There was a crowd of people gathered there, but the field was empty.
They parked their mounts and went down to see what was going on.
Among them, many professional residents are also observing the situation.
Yao Bing'an, who loves to join in the fun and read gossip, came into Lu Jiu's sight, and he could even ask questions when he met acquaintances.
Lu Jiu grabbed Yao Bing'an's arm and asked, "What's going on?"
"Huh?" Yao Bing'an was still confused. He turned around and saw that it was Lu Jiu. "Oh, don't summer resources refresh once a week? This is the seventh day after the last resource refresh, but there hasn't been any refresh yet."
The exact time of refreshing resources is uncertain. It may be in the early morning or at noon, but most of the time you can see it when you go out in the morning.
Zhuang Yun: "I didn't see the resources this morning, and I thought they would refresh later."
The sun rises early in the summer, so they set out early as well, and didn't pay much attention at the time.
Yao Bingan: "Yeah, everyone thought so. But when we came back, it hadn't been refreshed yet. Now everyone in the city is in a panic."
The population of Xuantian City has skyrocketed to one million, which seems like a lot, but the city-state is too large to accommodate a population of five million, but now it only has a million.
But feeding so many people is a problem.
Lu Jiu wasn't too worried. Her food reserves were large enough to feed a million people for more than a year.
The city gate was still noisy, and Lu Jiu went back with a few teammates.
·
After returning to the residential area, they went to Shen Jufeng's house.
Lu Jiuxian sat down on the sofa and stretched out his arms. "If there's not enough food, it won't be a problem this year. After all, I started buying food last year, and now I have a very considerable amount of storage."
Shen Jufeng: "So it's just like last year. Residents are worried about not having enough food, so we sent a group email to calm them down. Besides, it's only summer now, and we're not sure what the situation will be like in autumn."
Lu Jiu: "I think so too. The old residents are definitely better off, but the new residents are a little panicked."
Zhuang Yun and Yong Lin had already gone to the kitchen. They had all had dinner together at the homes of several teammates and were familiar with the locations of the kitchen utensils.
They didn't interfere in the governance of the city-state.
Lu Jiu began to write an email, the content of which was roughly the same as last year's, assuring all residents of the city's food reserves and not to panic too much. Moreover, the system mall also sold several kinds of instant food, so they would definitely not starve.
However, she didn't send it immediately, but waited until seven o'clock.
Ordinary residents outside the city gate who received the email calmed down a lot after seeing the content.
The elderly residents tried to comfort the frightened newcomers, saying, "Don't be afraid. The city lord has been storing food. This rice still has a shelf life of three years."
"That's right. We also said the price won't go up. It's still the same price as before."
The old lady took the hand of the older new resident and said, "What are you afraid of? You're not going to starve to death. The city lord said that even if we run out of food, we'll give you money to buy food."
This completely convinced the new residents: "That's good. We just don't know when this situation will end."
·
In short, the ordinary residents have settled down, and the professional residents have no worries about this at all.
However, fireworks props have become hot sellers in the city recently. This has the effect of attracting monsters. Although it is a matter of probability, it is better to have it than not.
This problem of resource non-refreshing occurs not only in Yangshan City, but also in other cities. The channels in the same province are extremely busy.
Everyone was speculating whether this was a so-called natural disaster or a poor harvest.
[Ruan Fanyao] (Channel from the same province): It must be a natural disaster, otherwise why wouldn’t it refresh? Moreover, the temperature is unusually high now. I really don’t know what it will be like next month.
[Jiang Xiao] (from the same province): Our city is still in chaos. No one in the city is selling food anymore. Fortunately, my parents are ordinary residents and have been collecting food.
[Ruan Fanyao] (Channel from the same province): We are fine. We all know that there is food storage, so we are not too panicked.
