Chapter 5 [Congratulations on unlocking a new variety of fruit tea: Succulent...
Seeing the countdown for a new round of side quests begin, Zhu Yu wailed, why is it coming again!
After completing two rounds of side quests in a row, she finally realized that she shouldn't be so complacent.
The system has given you 48 hours, why don't you take your time and do it slowly?
Now, maybe the game noticed her "extremely outstanding performance", but this time the mission deadline was directly compressed to 24 hours.
Zhu Yu sighed, chewed coconut, read the three new tasks carefully from beginning to end, and replanned the action plan in his mind.
The first two tasks seemed relatively simple. As long as there were players coming, she didn't believe that no one could resist the temptation to spend money here.
Even birds passing by would have to pluck two feathers from her as toll (bushi).
However, the third task - "Unlock the indoor swimming pool of the apartment" seems a bit confusing.
She didn't see any swimming pool when she went to the second floor?
Zhu Yu clicked on the task details with doubt, but unexpectedly a system prompt popped up immediately:
[Are you willing to spend 10,000 gold coins to unlock the apartment's indoor swimming pool? ]
"……yes."
The ten thousand gold coins that she had just received and hadn't even had time to warm up flew away from her account.
Zhu Yu felt very heartbroken and drank the remaining half cup of Watermelon Bobo in one breath.
[Unlock the apartment's indoor swimming pool (Progress: 1/1) (Completed)]
[Indoor swimming pool unlocked. Are you willing to spend 2000 gold coins to unlock "Vending Machine (Swimming Pool Supplies)"? 】
Looking at the system reminders that popped up one after another, Zhu Yu took a deep breath.
She looked down at her balance and blankly deleted the second notification.
The progress was accidentally pushed too fast and now there is not enough money. What can she do?
Zhu Yu suddenly began to reflect on why he didn't win any gold coins in the previous lottery?
Next time during the lottery, she will never dare to say that winning gold coins is the most useless prize!
But thinking that she had already exceeded her task target today, Zhu Yu quickly adjusted her mood and state.
She glanced at the time and found that it was almost closing time, so she simply locked the door of the fruit tea shop, went back to the lounge, washed up, and went to bed.
Although the new mattress was not as comfortable as the one in the previous instance, it was enough for Zhu Yu to relax after working hard all day. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep.
This night, she slept much more soundly than the previous night.
Last night she had a vague feeling of being watched in her dream. Although the feeling disappeared quickly, the discomfort in her heart still lingered.
Tonight is completely different, even the dreams become relaxed and peaceful.
Early in the morning, Zhu Yu stretched and sat up from the bed, feeling much better than yesterday.
She pinched her nose, drank a bottle of nutrient solution in one gulp, then went to the orchard and harvested a batch of fruits that were ripe.
[Experience +64]
[Congratulations on unlocking a new variety of fruit tea: Succulent Mango]
The experience points gained this time are enough for Zhu Yu to exchange for two new pieces of land at once, so that she now has a total of 15 pieces of land for growing fruit!
Since there were no new seeds at the moment, she decided to distribute resources evenly and plant the three existing types of fruits on five plots of land to ensure that the yield of each fruit could keep up with demand.
After finishing the matter in the orchard, Zhu Yu returned to the counter and ordered a cup of the newly unlocked succulent mango, intending to take advantage of the time when the customers arrived to study the player panel carefully.
Next time she can't keep playing dumb and trying to get away with it.
This research took several hours.
This copy is different from the previous one. Since there are more players, there is no unified chat group. Instead, there is a feature-rich player forum.
The forum is divided into various sections, including announcements, mission guides, trading, and even gossip and entertainment. The content is so rich that Zhu Yu is dazzled.
She browsed through many posts and gradually understood many things that she had not understood before.
For example, the "union" organization is particularly important in this copy.
In the forty or fifty days before she entered the dungeon, players had already developed many guilds of varying sizes.
These unions are divided into two categories: ordinary unions and elite unions.
The threshold for joining an elite guild is extremely high. One must have at least one S-level player and three A-level or above players to obtain this title.
Currently, three of the four recognized elite guilds in the game have been occupied, namely the Eternal Night Lighthouse, Red Leaf Umbrella and Liuhuo Guild.
As for the ownership of the last elite union, it has become the most hotly discussed topic in the forum.
Many posts are arguing about which union will ultimately take the title.
Zhu Yu read it very carefully and even wrote down the names of some of the most competitive unions, fearing that they would be useful in the future.
Just as she clicked on a popular gossip post, a system notification tone suddenly rang in her ears.
[Sell any 10 items from the vending machine (Progress: 10/10) (Completed)]
Zhu Yu was stunned and quickly exited the player forum, looking up towards the store entrance.
What? A new player has appeared?
******
"Captain... am I hallucinating?"
Qi Lecheng looked around at the spacious and cool underground city. The road under his feet was so clean that it seemed to reflect his shadow. There were neatly arranged flowers and trees on both sides, which formed a huge contrast with the hot and dry world outside.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, but found that the scene remained unchanged.
So, for some unknown reason, he reached out and pinched his companion standing next to him.
"Ah——Qi Lecheng, why are you pinching me!"
The player who was pinched jumped up instantly, rubbing his arm in pain, "Really, why didn't you pinch your bird?"
Before Qi Lecheng could refute, the budgie hanging on his shoulder suddenly flapped its wings, tilted its head and stared at the player who was being pinched, and fought back in a sharp voice:
"Pinch me? Pinch me?! If you dare to pinch me, I dare to bite you!"
"Er Feng! Try to yell that again? Believe it or not, I will pluck out your feathers and turn you into a bald bird!"
Peng Yi was so angry that he waved his hand and pretended to grab the parrot on Qi Lecheng's shoulder.
Erfeng immediately flapped her wings and uttered a series of sharp cries:
"Bad guy, bad guy! There are bad guys trying to kill the bird! Help, help! Come and protect me!"
Qi Lecheng protected the parrot and said with a smile:
"Peng Yi, calm down. My Erfeng is just a bad-mouthed person. Don't bother with him!"
"You're such a jerk?" Peng Yi put his hands on his hips and glared at Er Feng. "It's almost going crazy!"
"Enough!" A low shout interrupted Erfeng's shouting and Peng Yi's anger.
Zhao Shu stood aside, his face unhappy, his voice steady and majestic:
"Erfeng, shut up! Qi Lecheng, take care of your bird! Peng Yi, stop making trouble!"
Er Feng was quiet for a second, then she muttered in a low voice: "So vicious... so uncultured... so uncivilized."
Zhao Shu's eyebrows jumped, and just as she was about to scold him again, Ji Ying, who was walking in front, suddenly turned back and excitedly grabbed her hand: "Captain, look, there is a stream here!"
Zhao Shu was pulled to the stream, where he saw a clear stream meandering and the sunlight reflecting through the water, creating sparkling waves.
Ji Ying had already squatted down and put her hand into the water.
"So comfortable!" Ji Ying was full of surprise and turned to wave to her teammates, "Everyone come over here, the water is actually cold!"
When the others heard this, they immediately gathered around and rushed to put their hands into the stream.
The cool water flowed across the fingertips, taking away the heat and fatigue of the past few days, and everyone couldn't help but smile.
“This place is a real gem.”
Qi Lecheng sighed, his eyes swept across a cluster of blooming pink flowers by the stream, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch them out of curiosity.
Before I could touch it, a holographic prompt suddenly popped up in front of me:
[Picking flowers is prohibited here, please be a decent person! ]
Qi Lecheng was so frightened that he suddenly retracted his hand: "My goodness, this place actually has such a thing?"
Erfeng immediately responded in a serious tone:
"That's how it should be! Be well-mannered and follow the rules!"
Zhao Shu held his forehead with his hand, looked helplessly at Qi Lecheng and his parrot, then turned to the team and said:
"Don't waste time here, keep going and see if there are any other discoveries ahead."
The few of them continued walking forward, and before long, they saw a dimly glowing vending machine standing on the side of the road.
A wide variety of goods are neatly displayed in the transparent window.
"Is this... a vending machine?"
Ji Ying took a few steps closer and looked at the variety of goods displayed on the screen in disbelief. "Small electric fans, sun hats, sunscreen...Oh my God, this place even has these kinds of things!"
Peng Yi slapped his thigh and said, "No, I have to try it first. It's worth it to have an electric fan on such a hot day!"
He impatiently clicked on the screen, picked out a mini electric fan and a bottle of sunscreen, and also added a sun hat and a parasol.
As the payment was completed, the item quickly slid out of the vending machine. The packaging was so exquisite that he was amazed.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Qi Lecheng followed closely and bought all the items he liked.
Er Feng couldn't wait to fly to the sales counter, and used her claws to pick at the packaging box, shouting, "Good stuff! All good stuff! Let me see!"
Zhao Shu looked at the frantic grabbing of the players, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Is it really that serious? It's as if our Liuhuo Guild abuses the players all the time."
Having said that, she couldn't resist her curiosity and clicked on the screen to browse through all the types of items for sale one by one.
After reading it, Zhao Shu fell silent.
Then she silently placed an order for all of them.
It's really not her fault. After all, these things are very cost-effective. Especially in the outside environment, any one of them will definitely be snapped up at a high price.
Soon, the people were surrounded by a pile of various large and small goods.
Er Feng stood on Qi Lecheng's shoulder, staring at the list of goods in the window, and flapped her wings anxiously: "I haven't bought enough yet! Buy more, buy more! Buy a sun hat for the bird!"
"Your head is so small, how can you wear a hat?" Peng Yi complained unhappily.
Er Feng was so angry that her hair exploded. She slapped Qi Lecheng's ears with her wings and retorted:
"No matter how small my head is, it needs protection! Otherwise, what if it gets bald from the sun? Do you think it's not shameful for a bird to be bald?"
"Alright, alright, stop talking."
Qi Lecheng was afraid that they would start quarreling again, so he quickly grabbed Erfeng and pinched its mouth manually.
After successfully calming down this "ancestor", he finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked up, he found that Zhao Shu and Ji Ying were standing in front of a road sign, looking at it carefully.
He quickly put the goods on the ground into his backpack and called Peng Yi to come over.
There was a sign clearly marked with the words "Cool Rest (Fruit Tea Shop)" and next to it was a simple route map with the specific direction of the store marked.
"Let's go and take a look there."
Zhao Shu retracted his gaze, reminded the team members to stay vigilant, and took the lead to walk towards the fruit tea shop in the direction marked on the road sign.
