Chapter 275 Conjecture
When Madam Dou heard her son was going to Long Province, she felt both worried and reluctant. "Then you have to improve your strength. Even if you have good equipment, you won't be able to deal with those wild monsters if you go out now. You can keep in touch through email for the time being."
Dou Fanrong nodded, "I know, Mom."
He had never expected to be in such a mess when he returned here. He was beaten by wild monsters and only had a few hundred HP left. He was lucky to have encountered a patrolling army.
Yanjing has always been considered the safest place in the minds of the Chinese people, so many people have traveled long distances to settle here.
The city-state of Yanjing itself could no longer accommodate such a large population, so the surrounding city-states became branch cities and were managed by Yanjing.
Because there were too many people coming and the wild monsters here were of a very high level and many people couldn't deal with them at all, the authorities sent troops to patrol specifically in order to help people reach the Yanjing area smoothly.
Therefore, Dou Fanrong specifically told Yong Lin about the situation in the email, mainly to tell Shen Jufeng.
The man was from Yanjing, and he couldn't be sure whether the man would also want to come to Yanjing, so he took the initiative to give him a shot.
Lu Jiu and the others also gave up the idea of going north.
Thinking about it again, she couldn't help but admire their good luck in going to Anshao Province. If the level of wild monsters there was generally high, she and Shen Jufeng would probably be in trouble.
Yong Lin quickly replied to the email, in which, in addition to wishing him a safe arrival, he also asked why the official was looking for Jiu Ci.
·
Lu Jiu was in no mood to deal with wild monsters today. Shen Jufeng noticed that she was absent-minded, so he lied that he had heard that the Shen family was fine and wanted to go back to have some quiet time.
Zhuang Yun and Yong Lin later learned that Shen Jufeng did not have a strong sense of belonging to the family, not to mention that his parents treated him as an enemy.
Back at the residence, Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng were alone, and the two teammates did not disturb them.
Lu Jiu still couldn't figure out why the official wanted to contact her. "What do you think the official wanted to contact me about? Could it be that they knew I had the most krypton gold and the best equipment, and they wanted to requisition that equipment?"
If that was the case, she wouldn't be panicked at all. After all, she had never relied on those equipments.
Shen Jufeng stroked her hair and said, "That shouldn't be the case. If that were the case, why not just issue a notice to confiscate the equipment of all the first-mover players? Why single you out?"
Lu Jiu is not the only one who spends money in the game.
Lu Jiu: "That's nothing, I can only think of my equipment."
The official may be looking for her just for these extremely rare equipment.
Shen Jufeng couldn't figure it out either. "There must be a special reason. It might be what you think, but at the moment, it's hard to say. Let's see what Dou Fanrong can say."
Lu Jiu also wants the world to return to its original state, but can her rare equipment really work?
"Alas, I still don't understand why the world has become like this. If I can really be of use, I will definitely respond to the authorities without hesitation."
"Let's see the situation first. We can't handle the wild monsters over there, and we don't know the situation in Yanjing. It's better to go there in person later and make a decision."
Lu Jiu snuggled in Shen Jufeng's arms lovingly. "Actually, sometimes I wonder if all this is just a dream. I used to think that even if it was a dream, it was a dream full of wonders, but now I don't think so. I'm afraid that when I wake up, you won't exist, and all people and things will be just my imagination."
Shen Jufeng's tall body embraced Lu Jiu and said, "Don't be afraid. Whether it was a dream or not, I will remember everything."
·
I don’t know if it’s because of the official search that Lu Jiu feels like he has a sense of responsibility on his shoulders.
It took several days to recover.
Life must go on. Dou Fanrong also responded to the official's call for Jiu Ci, and the answer was that he didn't know either.
When the situation becomes unknown, they just do what they have to do.
The summer is getting hotter and hotter, and resources have only been refreshed once in two months. It is clear that a disaster is imminent.
In mid-May, the temperature reached 55℃. Fortunately, the protective cover can adjust the temperature, so everyone’s life is not too difficult, but the consumption of ice is very high.
Lu Jiu wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even with a cooler, he still felt hot after a little exercise in the wild.
"This awful weather has caused the water levels of the lakes and rivers near our city to drop significantly."
Fortunately, they don't need to farm, they just need to use the water there for drinking. Also, because of the division of resources, there are several lakes and rivers, so there is no shortage of water resources.
Zhuang Yun placed the cooler on his cheek, hoping to cool down quickly. "Since the beginning of summer, the food has only been refreshed once. Sometimes I'm thankful it only refreshed once, otherwise An An would definitely run out to collect food."
Yong Lin: "Don't panic. Sister Lu's pharmacy has a lot of potions that can cure the negative status of 'heatstroke'. I also bought a few bottles as a backup."
This potion is selling like hotcakes recently. Everyone is buying a few bottles. When the resources are refreshed, everyone will definitely go out. If you get heatstroke, you can take the medicine and get cured immediately.
Lu Jiu thought that tomorrow would be another week. "I don't know if the resources will be refreshed tomorrow. It seems that the residents are staying in the city and doing nothing, so they are starting to have wild thoughts."
Either they are worried that all the lakes and rivers will dry up, or they are worried that the food reserves are not enough.
She really missed the time when everyone had something to do and didn't have to worry about these things.
Shen Jufeng rubbed the back of her neck, "Don't think too much, all the basic supplies are fully stocked, let's set up the tent, it's getting hotter now."
The hottest time is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day, when they usually set up tents.
This tent is specially made with a built-in cooling function. Combined with the cooling props they carry with them, staying in it is like staying in an air-conditioned room.
·
Lu Jiu was drinking the sour plum soup specially made by Zhuang Yun in the tent, which was all chilled.
"Ding Jiayi sent me an email saying that a beast tide is coming over there at this time."
Zhuang Yun raised an eyebrow. "It's so hot here, how hot must it be there? And a beast tide is coming at this time."
He had heard from Lu Jiu and the others before that the temperature there was higher than this, and it was like summer in spring.
Ding Jiayi sent another email. Lu Jiu laughed after reading it. "She complained the same way. They can't stand the heat right now, but they have to stand out. The temperature of the protective shield has been set to the lowest. No one is too lazy to go out."
The wild monsters in Anshao Province are similar to those here. The professional residents here can take Tempering Pills to improve their strength. It's similar there. There is a kind of marine NPC creature that produces special eggs that can be used to make pills with similar effects to Tempering Pills.
Lu Jiu emailed back to Ding Jiayi, telling her to actively fight against wild monsters. If she could rank among the best in the city, she would be able to obtain more supply maps.
Sure enough, there was no more complaining over there.
Lu Jiu: "Anshao Province has also received a beast tide. I wonder what high-level monsters will appear then."
Silver-level monsters also began to appear over there.
Shen Jufeng felt refreshed after drinking a glass of sour plum juice. "Maybe he's a silver boss like us."
It's really uncomfortable at this time, and I'm probably going to get sunburned.
