Chapter 52 When Xue San woke up from his coma, he saw Xue Er and Ying Yuanxing talking happily.
When Xue San woke up from his coma, he saw Xue Er and Ying Yuanxing having a very pleasant conversation. The man and the ghost had even temporarily arranged a small deal to exchange strawberry cake for copper ore or iron ore.
Although Ying Yuanxing also wanted to go to the mine to mine, he thought that he needed a lot of ore now. The labor cost would be too high if he relied on himself to mine, so it would be better to barter.
Moreover, after chatting with Huo Yi for a while, Ying Yuanxing knew that the expressway leading to the mine belonged to the Xue family, so he could make a deal with the Xue family in the early stage.
As for whether to take control of the channel or the mine in our own hands in the later stage, or to continue cooperation, these can be considered later.
After agreeing with Xue Er and Huo Yi on the time to go to the mine, Ying Yuanxing came out of Xue's house and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was still unsure whether the transaction could proceed stably, fortunately he had found a channel to obtain the ore. Even if the transaction failed later, he could go directly to the mine.
Now, the development of the farm will not be hindered by the scarcity of some basic resources.
Ying Yuanxing glanced at the manufacturing page and mentally planned what he would make when the ore arrived.
Even after returning to the farm, Ying Yuanxing was still thinking about this matter. In the past, he could still refer to other people's game strategies, but now, Ying Yuanxing can only think of the strategy by himself.
When Ying Yuanxing came to his senses, he found that the wooden house was submerged in gray fog.
"Xuanying? What's wrong?" Ying Yuanxing wondered. It seemed that he didn't have anything to say to Xuanying that couldn't be heard by the audience.
The mist fluctuated a few times, and Xuanying's voice came out: "Otherwise, let me go and devour other weirdness."
"Why do you have this idea again?" Ying Yuanxing frowned, "Isn't the weird energy provided by the carrots enough?"
Xuanying responded after a while: "You have worked so hard for humanity."
"I know you want to help humans fight against the monsters, but there are too many monsters and too many humans. You have to pay a lot to help humans. I can devour all the other monsters and prevent them from going to the human world. In this way, there will be no monster crisis on the human side."
Xuanying’s idea was very simple. The reason why Ying Yuanxing had been so busy recently was all because some weird creatures had gone to the human world. If he swallowed all the weird creatures that could go to the human world, then no weird creatures would be able to go to the human world.
As for waiting for the crack in the world barrier to widen, stronger monsters can also go there, and then he will devour them again.
Ying Yuanxing had to admit that he was moved for a moment, he loved farming, and he didn't feel tired even though he was working hard now. After all, Xuanying's shadow laborers gave him a lot of work to do. He mainly worked hard during sowing and harvesting, and Lanying did the watering.
But he wants to help Xia Kingdom on his own. Now it is just the starting point. Will he not be tired later?
If Xuanying were to devour those monsters, according to An Ning, the monsters that could pass through the cracks now were not very strong, and Xuanying could easily devour them, but the quantity was a little large. But since Xuanying said so, then he could do it.
Although he had previously agreed with Xuanying not to devour weird things, this method was of great help to humans, so it seemed possible to make an exception.
May I?
In fact, it is possible, as long as Xuanying really does this, with his ability to control the clone and manipulate the shadow, it won’t take long to achieve the goal. Just thinking about it, Ying Yuanxing’s brain feels a little hot. This is a normal reaction to finding shortcuts when facing huge difficulties.
"no."
When Ying Yuanxing heard this, he was confused for a moment. Who spoke? When he heard Xuanying asked why in confusion, he realized that these were the words he said.
Why not agree?
Ying Yuanxing also wanted to ask himself, he was clearly moved, but...
"Don't hide in the fog, come here and let me hug you." Ying Yuanxing spoke, and Xuanying moved over from the corner, shrunk his body, and then tried to squeeze into Ying Yuanxing's arms.
It's just that he had been eating carrots these days, and his strange energy was replenished too well, so even if he shrunk, he couldn't compress it to his original size. Ying Yuanxing could only relax a little to make it easier for Xuanying to squeeze in.
"Why not?" Xuan Ying couldn't help but ask. He clearly felt that Ying Yuanxing was moved.
Ying Yuanxing touched the top of Xuanying's head. Although he had not stayed in the strange world for a long time, Ying Yuanxing really could not regard the strangeness as an irreconcilable enemy.
Whether it was the weirdness of the Yu family before, or the other weirdness that came to him after he opened the store, or the more contact with Chen Yuan, although the other party's respect for him might be due to some misunderstandings, the emotions expressed by these weirdnesses were not much different from those of humans.
Especially after knowing why the weird ones eat people, Ying Yuanxing felt more and more that both the human world and the weird world are actually equally difficult.
Although as a human being, he would be more inclined to humans, but it does not mean that for the sake of human life, he wants Xuanying to carry out a massacre of weird things if there is a way.
What's more, if Xuanying really did as he was told and swallowed so much weirdness, would Xuanying really not be affected?
Although according to what Xuanying said, when he devours the weirdness he will not absorb impurities along with it, the question is, with so many mental memories, will Xuanying still be the same as he is now?
Ying Yuanxing didn't know whether he knew Xuanying's ability and didn't want Xuanying to lose control, or he simply didn't want to hurt Xuanying, but no matter which one it was, he resisted Xuanying's suggestion.
Xuan Ying felt a little restless as he didn't get a reply from Ying Yuanxing. The mist fluctuated with his emotions.
"I haven't figured out the main reason yet, so I can't tell you." Ying Yuanxing was annoyed and had to speak, but he himself didn't understand the main reason, so naturally he couldn't tell it.
"But there is one thing I can say, I don't want you to leave me." Ying Yuanxing hugged the black ball tightly and whispered.
Xuanying's restlessness was instantly calmed by these words. This was the first time he felt Ying Yuanxing's care for him. Feeling Ying Yuanxing's hand tightening, Xuanying tentatively stretched out two tentacles and then hugged him back.
…
Even Xuanying could feel the pressure he was under, and Ying Yuanxing also adjusted his condition in the next few days.
Perhaps it's because he feels that he is a time traveler with great abilities, and the world is in crisis, so he has a savior mentality. However, the world is not so fragile, and other people are also working hard together, so he doesn't need to push himself too hard.
After figuring this out, Ying Yuanxing felt a little more relaxed all over. Although it was hard to say whether this was just a temporary effect of self-comfort, it was good to be able to relax for a while.
So when Xue Er saw Ying Yuanxing who went to the mine together, he found that the other party's condition seemed a little different from before.
Ying Yuanxing took a strange look at the Xue family members who were with Xue Er. The youngest one looked like a newborn baby, with a belly button and an umbilical cord, which seemed to be connected to something and floating in the air.
"This is my ninth brother. He is too weak and has become half-fused with mother." Xue Er introduced him and explained, "But since he can use mother's power, he is definitely no worse than Xiao Qi in mining."
Xue Jiu smiled at Ying Yuanxing. He was so thin and small, and if the umbilical cord was removed, he would really look like a baby.
Ying Yuanxing nodded, stretched out his hand, took out nine small bottles of strawberry juice from Xuanying, and gave them to the Xue family as gifts.
Xue Er didn't expect Ying Yuanxing to bring him a gift. When he was hesitating whether to accept it or not, Xue Jiu had already smelled the sweet scent he liked. He pounced on it, then bit open the bottle cap and began to drink it.
Xue Jiu took them all, and Xue Er no longer hesitated. He took the gifts and said thank you.
Looking at the favorability list, the Xue family's favorable impressions all increased a little at the same time, and Ying Yuanxing's mouth curled up slightly.
The reason for giving the gift was because Ying Yuanxing found that his previous ideas were a bit simple and crude. Among the three options he had thought of before, the first two options actually had some hidden dangers, and the third option was better.
Although it may be a bit difficult for others, after all, the third option requires people to have a good relationship with the weirdness in order to maintain it, which is not something ordinary people can do.
But he is capable. As long as he gives gifts and engages in conversation, he can more or less increase some goodwill and maintain the friendship. So why not do it?
The passage leading to the mine from the Xue family was a strange stone sculpture. Xue Er muttered something in front of the stone sculpture, and then Ying Yuanxing felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the moist air was replaced by hot wind. Ying Yuanxing knew that he had probably arrived.
Before my eyes was a vast Gobi desert, all I could see was a desolate yellow, without a single bit of green.
Xue Er pointed to a small hill not far away and said, "That's the mine. You can go in there to mine, but there are some unconscious monsters in there that will interfere with your mining."
Ying Yuanxing nodded and asked Xue Er and the others to go mining first, and he would go over later.
Seeing that Ying Yuanxing wanted to take a look around, Xue Er didn't ask any questions and went straight to the mine. After all, she came here to mine, and she would give Huo Gui a share of the profits according to the time she worked, so the time she wasted outside was also counted.
"Is my house very big?" Huo Yi floated over. Compared to how thin Xue Er was when he first met him, he now looked at least six or seven centimeters tall.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the seeds he brought and nodded. They were indeed very big, so big that he doubted that the tree species he brought would be able to fill the entire Gobi Desert.
"Will you be bored here?" Ying Yuanxing asked.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Huo Yi said, shaking his body.
Ying Yuanxing took out a furnace, a coal kiln, and a box and placed them on the ground.
Huoyi didn't care about the box, but when he saw the coal kiln and the furnace, his eyes became hot, especially when he saw Ying Yuanxing actually lit the coal kiln. When Ying Yuanxing motioned him to go in, Huoyi rushed in without any hesitation.
"Huoyi, I want to discuss something with you. Can I rent your house to plant trees?" After Huoyi enjoyed it for a while, Ying Yuanxing spoke.
"Plant trees? Why plant trees?" Huoyi poked his head out, a little confused.
"I need a large amount of coal, and burning coal requires wood. The farm is already full of wood. Your house is big enough to plant trees." Ying Yuanxing explained, "Plus you have ore here, so I brought a furnace and a coal kiln here. I can smelt the ore here, so I don't have to go to the farm to take up space."
If Ying Yuanxing was simply planting trees, Huo Yi might have hesitated for a few seconds. After all, even if the clan land was desolate, it could not be rented to others.
But Ying Yuanxing wants to plant trees and burn coal. Not to mention the firepower of the furnace, just the process of turning wood into coal means the coal kiln is constantly burning.
Huo Yi could not resist this temptation, but he was not sure about the decision. Knowing the number of seeds Ying Yuanxing brought, he allocated an area for Ying Yuanxing and asked him to plant there.
As for other places, he would have to ask the clan leader.
Arranging a shadow to deliver wood to the coal kiln, Ying Yuanxing began to plant trees vigorously. He had saved a lot of seeds during this period. The seeds were precious on the farm, and there was no way to leave him any place to plant trees. The places where some trees were originally planted were directly cut down when the trees grew up and turned back into farmland.
Considering that he might need to use a sap collector in the future, Ying Yuanxing planted the same tree species in an area.
We didn't use the sap collector before because there was a shortage of ore, so we were naturally reluctant to make it. Now that the ore restriction is gone, the sap collector is still more convenient than manual collection.
When Huo Yi poked his head out of the coal kiln again, he saw a large area of Gobi desert planted with densely packed seeds.
Huoyi reminded himself not to go over there later, otherwise if the tree seeds were burned, it would be unfair to Yuanxing for placing the coal kiln here.
After planting the trees, Ying Yuanxing emptied his backpack. Now there was only a pickaxe, a sword, and a pile of carrots to replenish his strength.
Looking at the cave in the distance, Ying Yuanxing took a deep breath and went towards the cave. He was not worried about mining because he had taken his pickaxe to the blacksmith shop to upgrade it.
Although there was no blacksmith there, he was the blacksmith and could upgrade the tools. It was because of the upgrade that the time was slightly delayed for a few days.
However, Ying Yuanxing felt somewhat uneasy about the unconscious monster Xue Er mentioned.
Facing these monsters, he couldn't help but fight. Although he could ask Xuanying to help him, did he really want to retreat like this?
Ying Yuanxing strode into the cave, followed closely by Xuanying.
Mining is a strenuous job, but fortunately, Ying Yuanxing only needs to consume his physical strength and does not need to spend much effort. There is no danger in front of the mine. After mining some copper ore, Ying Yuanxing continued to move forward.
As they walked, they encountered a skeleton monster. It didn't look like all of its bones were human, there were also some animal bones. Upon sensing humans coming, the skeleton monster walked towards Ying Yuanxing.
Just as Xuanying was about to move, he was stopped by Ying Yuanxing.
"Is this skeleton powerful?" Ying Yuanxing asked.
Xuanying shook his head. This skeleton had no consciousness of its own and would only act when it became aware of an invader. How could it be considered powerful?
"Then let me handle it." Ying Yuanxing took out his sword. He had practiced how to use a sword with combat skills on the farm. Now it was time to show his true colors.
[No, the anchor is just mining, why did he actually fight with monsters?]
[Isn't the host's ability to farm? Fighting monsters, what if he gets hurt?]
[The host doesn't want to be a weakling, right? After all, this is a strange world. Although Xuanying is always by his side, if he's not around, he has to be able to protect himself.]
[Can't we just hug the weirdness and stuff it into the space? Isn't that enough? ]
[What if something can't be plugged in? Anyway, Xuanying is right next to us, so the anchor won't be seriously injured.]
Stab, swing the sword, strike hard, stab again, swing the sword, strike hard.
As a person who only knows three tricks, Ying Yuanxing's use of the sword is limited to this, but although the moves are old, they are easy to use. As long as you move in the right position and avoid the attacks of the skeletons, killing skeletons is quite easy.
Soon, the first monster Ying Yuanxing faced died under his sword. Ying Yuanxing looked at his skills. The lowest of his other skills were level five, but his combat skill was still zero.
But by killing a monster, the experience points will increase, and it is obvious that a breakthrough from zero can be achieved today.
Looking at the bone fragments scattered on the ground, Ying Yuanxing hesitated for a moment, but decided to collect them. After all, they were things dropped by monsters. Even if they were garbage, he couldn't throw them away. He would find a box to put them in when he got back. Who knows, they might come in handy someday.
At worst, you can compost it...
compost? !
Ying Yuanxing remembered and quickly opened his manufacturing drawings. The bone crusher was listed. Only one oak resin and five bone fragments were needed to make five portions of advanced growth hormone, which could accelerate the production of agricultural products by a quarter, meaning that garlic might only take four days to mature.
"Xuanying, you and I will chop these skeletons together later and take all the bones back." Ying Yuanxing was still a little sentimental after killing the monster. After all, it was his first time to kill a monster. But now, Ying Yuanxing only had his fertilizer in his mind.
As he stabbed all the way, Ying Yuanxing's movements became more and more skillful. Facing Ying Yuanxing's three consecutive attacks, the skeleton monster had no power to fight back at all and soon turned into a pile of bone fragments.
Taking time into consideration, Ying Yuanxing even gave up on some of the ore and devoted a lot of energy to killing monsters. At the same time, he felt a little regretful that he did not discover the benefits of these monsters earlier. Otherwise, he could have told Xue Er and the others in advance and let them collect the remaining things from the monsters.
At the same time, Ying Yuanxing also encountered other monsters, which also dropped some loot. However, Ying Yuanxing couldn't remember what to do with these loot for a while. He didn't know if they were really useless or he had temporarily forgotten about them.
However, Ying Yuanxing also collected these things. There is no garbage in this world. It’s just that some items have not been used yet. If they are not collected now, it will be difficult to collect them later when they are needed.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the mining process of Ying Yuanxing as a swarm of locusts. Except for the stones that were not thoroughly cleared, Ying Yuanxing did not let go of the monsters, weeds in the mine, and even the candles, and took them all down.
Xuanying had no feeling about this, and even helped to get some things that Ying Yuanxing couldn't get.
[Is this considered scraping the ground three feet? ]
[Luckily, there is actually a piece of stone that has not been chiseled open, so the search is not too thorough.]
[But the candles on the ground were also taken away. This is outrageous.]
[But who put the candles in the mine? It's strange]
[It may be put there by the previous miners. It feels like the anchor is coming to the next mine, just like buying goods.]
[However, mining in this strange world is really different from our own mining. This mine is too easy to navigate.]
[I feel like there are a few more new pieces of knowledge in the weird textbooks. By the way, have any contestants ever gone mining before?]
[No, I haven’t heard of any minerals there. If it weren’t for the strange words of the Xue family, I would have thought that there were no such mines in the weird world.]
…
In the next few days, Ying Yuanxing's life was unusually regular. He took care of the farm, packed products and delivered them, spread newly made fertilizer on the farmland, and then went to the mine to mine, kill monsters, and bring back a candle by the way.
The farm is big, and if it were always pitch black, it would look a bit creepy.
Although there are not many people in his farm, generally speaking there are only him and Xuanying, and the others are Xuanying's clones, but the candlelight can still bring some warmth.
At least let him realize that this is his home, not just a place to be used.
If Ying Yuanxing were asked to make candles himself, he might not be willing to do so. Although the materials for making candles are simple, if he wanted to use candles as a lighting tool to illuminate the entire farm, the resource pressure would still be very great.
So Ying Yuanxing had been delaying until now. If he could pull the candles out of the mine, he would naturally not hesitate to do so.
As for whether these candles had anything to do with the Fire Ghost, Ying Yuanxing asked Huo Yi when he brought the candles back. The other party didn't care about these candles. Although he didn't know where they came from, he knew they had nothing to do with the Fire Ghost clan, so Ying Yuanxing took them back with confidence.
As time passed, Ying Yuanxing's farm gradually became brighter.
Because of the existence of fertilizers, more and more garlic matured early, and the people of Xia could buy more and more garlic. Chen Yan did not grab the garlic at first, but because Ying Yuanxing set a rule that people who grabbed the goods could not buy the same product again within a month, Chen Yan finally grabbed some garlic.
Finally, I sent it to the Dawn Bureau and exchanged it for ten garlic candies and two garlic diffuser stones.
The garlic-flavored diffuser stone is a new product made from the garlic juice produced by Ying Yuanxing. It is mainly used to deal with a large number of strange things.
After all, the garlic candy is to avoid being discovered by the monster, but what if the monster can't avoid it? Using the garlic diffuser stone can make the monster's eyes blurry, so that the monster will actively avoid humans.
After thinking for a long time, Shen Yan and her mother decided to exchange ten garlic candies for garlic diffuser stones.
After all, one of the ten garlic candies can be used for two hours. If you encounter ordinary weirdness, these ten garlic candies can last for a long time. Anyway, you don’t have to eat all the garlic candies. You can dissolve a little bit in your mouth and spit it out if you don’t need it. The time can be extended for a long time.
The application scope of garlic aroma diffuser stones is much wider. No one knows when an accident will happen. If an accident happens, you will need to use it.
This is what Shen Yan and Shen's mother thought, but neither of them expected that their words would come true.
Early in the morning, Zhao Changyan had just checked in to Ying Yuanxing's live broadcast room and was about to relax a little when he received a message from his subordinates.
A new strange domain is coming.
If the appearance of the weirdness randomly kills a few or even a dozen people, and no more than dozens or hundreds, then the appearance of the weird domain will result in a death toll of at least four digits.
After all, if you encounter a monster all alone, as long as you can hide and wait until the rescue team arrives, you can survive.
But in the strange domain, the result of sticking to the original place may be being eroded by the strange domain. After all, the humans on Blue Star are not like the players who entered the strange game. After being transformed by the salvation game, they can adapt to the strange world.
If this kind of erosion is mild, it will cause memory confusion, but if rescued in time, it can still return to normal. If it is serious, the person will become half human, half ghost and become a ghost's minion.
Faced with the strange domain, the rescue team doesn't know whether they can rush in to rescue people. Even if they go in and want to bring so many people out, they may not be able to stop the greedy weirdness. So many times, the people rescued in the strange domain basically escaped on their own, or at least escaped from the center to the edge before they could be rescued by the rescue team.
Zhao Changyan read the news and felt his heart tighten. This strange place actually descended in the center of a city.
If it is on the edge of the city, it might be easier to deal with. After all, there are not so many people, the building structure is not that complicated, and it is also convenient to go in and rescue people.
But there are too many people in the city center and the houses are too complicated, so the rescue team can't deploy many people.
The most terrifying thing is that with so many people, they will become food for the strange growth. Even if this urban area is not too prosperous, the population in the city center is at least 100,000.
Even if only one tenth of it was eaten by the weirdness, the result would be...
Zhao Changyan didn't dare to think about it and could only give orders to evacuate the people outside the strange area first, keep a safe distance, and then send more rescue teams in.
However, he was not sure how effective this rescue would be.
