Chapter 52 High Defense Value
At 6 p.m. sharp, the residents of the base waited anxiously, some of them holding umbrellas and wearing straw hats, standing like stone pillars at the entrance.
Jiang Baiyue was in a good mood, the advanced protective shield was completed!

That's 20,000 defense points!
I feel completely safe. Even if I were to encounter a zombie attack of the scale of last night, I wouldn't have to defend myself all night. I can sleep soundly without worry.
Jiang Baiyue only saw the stone wall's defense value as 5000 when she touched it individually or clicked on it using a 3D projection.
The advanced protective shield has a defense value that is four times that of a stone wall!
Jiang Baiyue was still unaware of the effects of the protective shield being placed. Since her legs had gone numb from sitting cross-legged on the bed, she decided to go outside for some exercise.
As soon as I stepped outside, before even putting on my straw hat, my first thought was – it's not raining?
Jiang Baiyue looked up and saw that the sky above the base was enveloped by a light blue shield. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it wasn't that it wasn't raining, but rather that the rain was being blocked outside the shield.
Seeing the effect of the protective shield, Jiang Baiyue was happy. However, maintaining the shield could only be done with energy crystals, and her stock was not very high. She would have to go to the underground city to collect more tomorrow.
Fortunately, the drop rate of energy crystals in dungeons is higher than that on the surface... no, it should be that higher-level monsters have a higher probability of dropping energy crystals.
...
Zhang Li and her newly acquainted friend, Hu Yulan, nicknamed "Dead Tree Comes Back to Life," went to the farmland together.
"Lihua, I'm really worried. The rain keeps falling, and the fertilizer we spread will be washed away in no time. It's such a waste."
Both of them are middle-aged and don't usually go online. They also don't like to use nicknames when they talk to each other; they usually address each other by their first names.
Hu Yulan was one year older than Zhang Li, so she called Zhang Li "Little Zhang".
"So... the rain has stopped—?"
Hu Yulan looked up and saw the light dome in the sky. She pointed at the sky in surprise and said, "Xiao Zhang, look!"
"Oh my, what... what is this... a prop?"
Zhang Li had never played games before, but her daughter had been explaining them to her recently, and she figured this must be the item her daughter was talking about.
At this moment, the others in the base also suddenly noticed that the pattering rain had disappeared, and many people thought that the rain had stopped.
"Yo-ho, the rain has stopped, the rain has stopped, hahaha!"
"I'm going to get moldy, it's raining every day."
"Look, everyone look up! That's a protective shield!"
"Hiss! So the rain hadn't stopped at all; it was the protective shield that was working."
"Even if I don't manage to rent a cabin, once the ground dries out, I can still sleep in a tent and save 5 coins a day for rent."
Looking at the cheering crowd, Jiang Baiyue thought to herself, "340,000 yuan is a worthwhile investment for safety and security!"
After a busy afternoon, she deserved a good meal. Smacking her lips, she craved something flavorful and strong-tasting.
barbecue!
Turning our attention, we saw that the barbecue stall owner, Yi Shengping, had seized the opportunity and immediately set up his own stall.
Jiang Baiyue quickly ran over and rushed to be the first in line.
"Boss! I have some fish, grill them all! And some meat, eggplant..."
Upon opening the panel and seeing the crucian carp that had been sent, Yishengpingping suggested, "We have a ceramic pot now. Would you like to use one to make soup? We also have tofu, scallions, and ginger."
"Sure. Should I give you coins, or would you like to leave some ingredients?"
Thinking that the weather was cold and he wanted to drink something hot to warm himself up, he said, "Let's keep some crucian carp soup for ourselves. We won't eat your fish, just the soup."
"Send it to me once you've finished it."
After Jiang Baiyue finished speaking, she stepped aside. By now, a long line had formed behind her, all of them people who had been captivated by Yisheng Ping'an's culinary skills.
With swift and efficient movements, the eggplant was already placed on the grill, and the meat chunks were quickly transformed into almost uniformly thick slices under the sharp blade, while the children beside them helped prepare the skewers.
Some people skewer their own meat, sprinkle salt on it as soon as it hits the grill, and then flip it over to spread sauce. The grill is very hot, so you keep flipping the skewers until the aroma wafts out.
Other vendors in the vicinity also set up their stalls with tables and tools, and the previously somewhat empty space suddenly became lively.
Even though the ground wasn't dry, it didn't deter the businessmen's determination.
"Mushroom and pork congee! One bowl costs 20 coins, two bowls cost 36 coins in total."
"Roasted corn, roasted corn, sweet, sticky, and fragrant roasted corn, only 5 coins per ear!"
Wooden beds! Wooden chairs! Wooden chests! Prices negotiable!
"Weapons trade! Does anyone have longswords or pistols?"
Food nearing its expiration date, clearance sale!
Jiang Baiyue heard about the mushroom and pork congee, saw the white steam rising from the makeshift stove, and her stomach rumbled. She went over to join the queue.
The barbecue won't be ready for a while, so I'll buy some porridge to tide me over.
"Brother, we've really come to the right place! In just one day, we've moved back into the log cabins, sold a lot of materials, and this base even has a protective shield!"
"She even took a shower!"
"Ah~ I've become a fragrant boy again!"
“What kind of life did we have before? Luckily, my older brother made a decisive move, otherwise we would still be lying in the mud.”
The funeral parlor worker took a step forward, turned to look at the bubbling meat porridge in the iron pot in front of him, and mindlessly responded to his teammates with "uh-huhs".
Yes, yes.
His teammates didn't need to answer seriously; they just talked about their own experiences and insights, and finally couldn't help but curse the base manager of Peach Blossom Base.
They even complained about the peach blossom base to people behind them or passing by.
"Huh? So ruthless and heartless?"
"The check-in fee is 10 coins?? That's too expensive."
"What?! You're being asked to leave all your supplies behind before you can leave? That's so heartless."
The chubby guy, not thin, puffed out his chest and said, "Ha, if I hadn't been quick-witted enough to say we were out to fight a boss and only kept half the supplies, we would have suffered a huge loss..."
The initial feeling was one of relief at the White Moon Base. Fortunately, they were lucky to have arrived at the White Moon Base early in the morning.
"Oh dear, even half of the supplies are a loss. Why did they withhold so many of your supplies?"
"That's right, that's right. I just remembered something. It seems like there were people in the chat area who were criticizing Peach Blossom Base."
"I also saw that message. It said that once their base leader deliberately used them to attract monsters. If they hadn't been lucky enough to defeat the boss in the end and had someone help them, they would have been in big trouble."
"Their base commander has cars and vehicles. How come these bad guys are so lucky? It's unbelievable..."
Jiang Baiyue nodded and sighed along with the crowd. She also wanted a vehicle, otherwise, in such a large area as the underground city, she wouldn't be able to search very far in a day.
She opened her personal attribute panel to check, and found that her talent only needed 436 more looting attempts to level up. After leveling up, she should be able to loot even more resources.
Last night, she leveled up, and her health increased to 150. She needs to kill zombies or monsters of level 2 or higher to gain evolution points.
We need to go to a place further away in the underground city.
