Chapter 24 Black Pig BOSS Refresh
Lu Jiu was bored as she was looking at the conversation channel when suddenly a message caught her attention.
Li Shen: Can you believe it? I went to the fruit forest alone to pick fruit and I ran into that black pig boss. I almost died. Luckily, I bought shoes quickly enough.
Lu Jiu couldn't help swallowing her saliva after reading this piece of news. She had been thinking about the fragrant and delicious black pork, but she didn't expect that another one would appear in the fruit forest.
She ran to the door of Shen Jufeng's room and knocked on it. After a while, the door opened and a puff of steam hit her in the face. It turned out that this guy had just finished taking a shower. He tied a towel around his waist and came to open the door, revealing his strong and tight upper body.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Jiu paused for a moment before regaining his excitement. "Remember that big black pig? There's another one in the Fruit Forest!"
Oh my god, she can collect a lot of black pork again. The more delicious food, the better.
Shen Jufeng frowned slightly, "It's not another one that appeared, it should be refreshed, just like when you kill a boss in a game, the system will refresh it."
That black pig BOSS should be unique to the Fruit Forest, but I don’t know whether its refresh time is fixed or random.
Lu Jiu suddenly realized, that's right, the big black pig had only been dead for a few days, it was unlikely to be its offspring.
"Then let's go again. This time if we catch anything, we can sell the pork."
Shen Jufeng was a little surprised that she was willing to sell pork, and he didn't quite understand her train of thought.
"Aren't you planning on a sneak attack?"
The other party was a little distressed when he heard this: "Yes, if I sell what I got from the sneak attack, won't it tell everyone that it was me who did it..."
He was very happy that the city lord's mind was still functioning normally.
"We can go directly this time without hiding. With the experience from last time, everyone will definitely search the surrounding area carefully, so the chances of any nefarious actions are slim."
How could that group of people make the same mistake?
"What a shame... Luckily I got some new weapons. I'll use them to fight monsters when the time comes."
After the city-state shop opened, Lu Jiu collected supplies and asked a blacksmith to make a bronze-level bow and arrow. As for the Xuanling Divine Bow, he would use it when he encountered wild monsters with high health in the future.
Shen Jufeng went back to the bedroom to get dressed, but he continued to say through the door: "We can't use legendary weapons. This siege of the BOSS is purely based on luck. It doesn't matter if you can't grab it. Just consider it as gaining experience. Don't rely too much on artifacts."
To fight monsters, you need at least experience. You need to judge the health of wild monsters based on the general situation and use skills skillfully. The more you understand, the better chance you will have of getting the final blow.
If you rely solely on the artifact's instant kill, you may be able to kill squishy monsters without any problem, but you will only encounter monsters of higher and higher levels in the future, and the health of the monsters at that time will definitely not be comparable to that of ordinary monsters.
Lu Jiu: "I understand what you mean, so I've been practicing hard with my new weapon these past few days."
"Well, but I will find a way to get the black pork." He also likes black pork.
When Shen Jufeng came out, he had already changed his clothes, just a simple white T-shirt and knee-length shorts.
Lu Jiu remembered that there was a familiar name on today's resident registration. "Also, someone who came from Phantom City before came here to register again, but it looks like they brought their family with them. I suspect they're here to settle down."
"I know. I saw it when I left the city this morning. I heard that the mayor of Phantom City was dishonest and came here to take the heads but didn't give a cent. So I came here."
Lu Jiu laughed when he heard this, "Hahaha, this city lord is so stingy. After all, our city's team has stayed here for several days. Even if Brother Wen doesn't have any credit, he has worked hard."
This is simply pushing the residents out, and the people pushing them out are professional players, what a talent.
Shen Jufeng thought of what that person had revealed about the atmosphere of Phantom City and felt that it was only a matter of time before the residents would move out.
"The location over there isn't very good. The city lord is using his status to snatch resources from the city residents and squeeze their living space. You can only expect a large number of people to migrate to Xuantian City."
For the first time, Lu Jiu felt that the first-mover player was not invincible. Look at the lord of Phantom City, he had a typical nouveau riche mentality and didn't consider the sustainable development of the city-state at all.
Do you really think that his Phantom City is the only city-state on the map?
"There's no rush for that. Let's first stabilize the city. Even now, we still don't have a single permanent resident. Fortunately, the quest rewards for a second-level city-state are increased, otherwise I really think this would be a long time coming."
"5000, why are you in such a hurry? The most powerful boss we encountered right now is only a normal-level one. Who knows how much the reward will be for clearing the jungle in the future."
These words did not comfort Lu Jiu, but she could only think that this would indeed be difficult, and perhaps things would get better after she got over this hurdle.
*
The only one willing to come to Xuantian City with Brother Wen was his female teammate A Liu. He had already foreseen this outcome. After all, it was difficult to make a decision in a short period of time, but Brother Wen believed that he would meet his former teammates again in the future.
The nickname A Liu was given by the female teammate herself. She has a younger brother at home, and her parents favor boys over girls, so she is dispensable at home.
The best decision she made was to use her career card and skill card herself. For this, her parents treated her like air, but Liu got used to it.
Her parents were reluctant to let her go to Xuantian City this time because her younger brother had just made friends with the city lord's family and thought that if he worked harder, he would be able to live a luxurious life.
But they didn't want A Liu to leave either, so A Liu had no choice but to leave all his savings to them as a way of severing family ties.
On the way out of the hotel and out of the city, her parents cursed loudly behind her, as if A Liu was their mortal enemy.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to earn copper coins now. A Liu and Brother Wen earned the money by killing wild monsters a few times on the way here.
When Wen's mother entered Xuantian City, she felt that the atmosphere here was completely different from that of Phantom City. After learning about the living prices, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Even if you collect supplies and exchange them for copper coins in the mission hall, you can survive on your own.
It turned out to be a good decision to come to Xuantian City.
The spawn of the BOSS in the Hundred Fruit Forest was known to several nearby city-states, and this time Zhuang Yun planned to go and see it for himself, even if it meant just watching from the side.
Thinking that he would be out for a long time tomorrow, Zhuang Yun went to the food stall to buy some food for his daughter.
Old Man Zeng’s rabbit legs were sold out before, and now they sell snacks made from grains.
"Mr. Zeng, give me two taels of popcorn, some rice crust and five pumpkin pie slices."
"Okay~"
Old man Zeng packed the snacks with great skill. Now that the grandfather and grandson don't go out to clear the fields, they use the supplies collected on the edge of the city to make snacks, which sell well.
Popcorn and rice crusts were made by Old Man Zeng using rice, and pumpkin pie was made because there was a pumpkin patch growing nearby.
"A total of 10 copper coins, here you go." Zhuang Yun handed the copper coins to Old Man Zeng.
Old Man Zeng took the money and asked, "Are you going to that fruit forest too?"
Many people have been going there recently. He thought that Zhuang Yun bought so many snacks today to coax his daughter to go on a long trip by herself.
"Yeah, there are two teams heading to the city. It's safer to go with more people. I also wanted to go out and see some of the fruits there. I can pick some and it won't be a loss."
Old man Zeng thought about it and realized that this was the case. Not many people go to the Fruit Forest on a regular basis, and those of them who only have survival skills don't dare to go there alone. This is also an opportunity.
