Day 8 (Repair)
After handing Hua Ji and Uncle Rong over to four security guards and making sure they wouldn't do anything dangerous, Ye Miaomiao hurriedly took E Rong and Song Xiaoqing to the weaving hut.
The weaving hut is located next to the residential building. The secondary hut is only the size of a bedroom and is divided into several work areas.
At the innermost part are two clothing team NPCs who are fluffing cotton. The side by the window is well-lit and has manual machines for spinning and sewing. On the other side is a huge loom. Although small, it has everything.
It was just nine o'clock, the working time, and the employees of the weaving hut came in to eat breakfast. With Song Xiaoqing's careful instructions, they specially brought an extra breakfast.
Ye Miaomiao held the hot steamed bun and looked at the NPC excitedly. She introduced the properties of "Tuantuan Ball" with a blank expression.
"Dirty, top-quality down: from the Far North Seidel Island, shed naturally by the Northland Goose. Mixed with bird saliva, stones, and chicken feathers..."
[Have you accepted the primary education from NPC Clothing Team No. 1: Identifying the finest fluff?]
Ye Miaomiao: “!” She immediately chose to accept it, and then a gray plush icon lit up on the screen.
The best fluff!
【Effect: Temperature +10℃/100g; Comfort +10/100g;】
What powerful properties! Ye Miaomiao carefully read the details below. Just as she was about to fly to heaven in a daze, she saw this line of words: [(Currently damaged, all functions have been lost)]
Ye Miaomiao: "..." The gate of heaven slammed shut on her face.
She put down the fluff in disappointment and asked the NPC, "Can the damaged material be repaired? After all, it's only..." She looked at the words on the information page.
"Feathers from chaffinch, saliva from black eggs..." and a long list of strange things.
The NPC looked at her expressionlessly. She was just an ordinary programmer, with only textile-related knowledge stored in her head, and the rest...she knew nothing.
"Maybe you can try washing it?" A person next to her took out a large bowl for washing fruits from the workstation and took the ball from Ye Miaomiao's hand. She poured some cold water from the cup and soaked the ball in it.
Suddenly, some tiny fluffs flew away, and the hard stones and sand that were stuck to the fluffs also scattered.
After stirring and kneading them clean, it took a while to pick out the better quality fluff and place them neatly on the table.
The name of the fluff immediately changed from [Dirty Premium Fluff] to [Wet Premium Fluff].
Everyone: “!” It works!
While it still says [Currently damaged, all functions lost], it at least indicates that it can be modified. Once the fluff dries up and the "wet" is removed, isn't it just the finest fluff left?!
While patiently waiting for the fluff to dry, Ye Miaomiao chatted with a few people.
They all agreed that if the next disaster was a "frozen snowfield," cotton-padded clothes and quilts would be essential. The weaving hut was now fully staffed, and once the cotton harvest was good, they could start producing cotton-padded clothes and quilts on a large scale.
Of course, it would be better if you have a down jacket and a down quilt, after all, these two items have stronger thermal insulation effects.
However, although down is good, it is difficult to pick out the down from a pile of miscellaneous hair and small stones - it takes too much effort.
Someone lamented that there was no blower. Just like the air ducts used in factories to separate wool, goose down is so light, wouldn't it be possible to collect it by blowing it up?
Ye Miaomiao: “!” Her heart moved.
She suddenly remembered Lord Yu from last night.
After Lord Yu died, his body didn't disappear. Instead, it remained there, looking incredibly disgusting. It took a lot of effort to drag his body out of the territory and bury it somewhere random.
The tool he used turned out to be the [Broken Contract]!
However, before Ye Miaomiao could read the detailed introduction, the two pieces of [Broken Contract] automatically stuck together, forming a new prop - [Contract (Content): Transaction]
The original effect of krypton gold to eliminate the backlash of divine light did not disappear, and even became worse.
It's time to join VIP! Enjoy a wide range of luxurious benefits for a small fee (points/divine light) to transform your territory into a paradise on earth!
In addition to being able to eliminate the backlash of divine light, it also has many other "charge and enjoy" functions.
[Recharge your hot water card: Recharge 200 points (2 Shenguang) and receive free installation of the water dispensing tool in seconds. Install the fast-dispensing device wherever you want! Hot water arrives instantly. One ton of hot water costs only 100 points (1 Shenguang), and there are discounts for bulk purchases!]
【Recharge Ice Card: ......】
【......】
However... the transactions here were a mess, mostly involving resources within the territory's technological level. The gray, un-unlocked "electricity" and "gas" were unusable, and Ye Miaomiao guessed it was because the territory's technology hadn't yet reached that level.
But... if you can reach a certain level and generate your own electricity and gas, who needs to spend real money to buy them? And divine light is a rare resource, so who would use it for this?
Ye Miaomiao originally thought that this thing was useless, but unexpectedly she suddenly got an inspiration.
She flipped to the details page and finally saw one of them—
[Recharge Hot Air Card: Worried about your hair not drying? Your clothes getting wet? First recharge 200 points (2 Shenguang) and get your choice of a hair dryer for free! Plus, a three-month warranty for peace of mind!]
Ye Miaomiao: “!” She was so wrong!
Ye Miaomiao browsed through a jumble of hair dryers like she was browsing Taobao, and surprisingly, she found one that could separate the down and feathers. While she waited, the down dried thoroughly, returning to its original state!
She happily added to the collection. Everything was ready, she was just waiting for the feathers of the pheasant!
.
At this moment, the pheasant was looking around and kept exclaiming: "What a wonderful place!"
Towering walls framed the neatly arranged buildings within. The ground was paved with smooth pebbles, and the paths were lined with a variety of wildflowers and weeds. Compared to the mud-slicked Storm Territory, it was truly...
He wanted to walk around the territory, but the crowds watching were obviously afraid of him, and they dispersed wherever he went.
Brambling Chicken: Didn’t we say that chicken is man’s best friend?
As he was sighing, Xiaobai secretly peeked out from the side.
He turned to look at Noh Ji-woo who was chatting by the campfire and shouted, "Then I'm going to the bathroom!"
Lu Zhiwu turned around and gave him a hesitant look. Ever since he discovered that Brother Bai was a bit stupid and had no relatives or friends in the territory, Lu Zhiwu had been paying special attention to him.
"Brother Bai, the guard mission is about to begin, don't run around! We'll go collect resources as soon as the mission is over, it's a deal!"
Xiaobai quickly agreed, but his eyes remained fixed on the chicken.
There was already a storm in my mind.
The chaffinch was definitely not here to "make friends," Xiaobai was absolutely certain of that. He didn't believe even a single punctuation mark of the phrases about being "destined" or "man's best friend."
After going through a lot these days, he deeply realized the essence of "looking with the heart, not with the eyes".
The "Hungry Hungry" territory was a good one, and Xiaobai knew it. The Stormwind Territory was where he was born and raised, and Xiaobai couldn't betray it. Lord Yu was dead, and there was no evidence. There must be some misunderstanding!
The best way now is to open each other's eyes and let everyone see the good in each other!
It is his duty to revive the glory of friendship!
Just as Xiaobai was thinking this, the lonely pheasant suddenly clucked and pecked at the ground twice: "What... smells so good?"
Uncle Rong and Xiao Hei, who were standing nearby, also smelled it, and the other animals looked at each other in bewilderment. This fragrance was clearly that of food. What kind of food could possibly smell so...sweet?
Xiao Hei, who has a keen sense of smell, hissed and looked in one direction - the kitchen!
When the animals followed the smell to the kitchen, Zhang Jia's family was cooking duck eggs.
This is the five-spice sesame egg pickled a few days ago. It has just matured. When Zhang Jiajia was placing the freshly pickled bacon in the storage cabinet connected to the warehouse, he suddenly found its label.
He hurriedly sent a private message to Ye Miaomiao. When he learned that this was not a piece of loot that occasionally dropped, but a local specialty of the territory, he was immediately delighted!
We can add another dish to the menu in the future!
It was just past breakfast time, and there was no one waiting in line to buy food. Since he had nothing to do, Zhang Jiajia carefully took out a sesame egg and looked at it with satisfaction.
This should be a picked-up duck egg. Although the duck egg is not locally produced, the pickling in the territory has obviously raised it to a higher level.
Zhang Jiajia nodded with satisfaction. From his perspective, this was obviously a well-marinated sesame egg.
Thinking about it, he swallowed his saliva and put it in the pot to steam.
After a short while, a rich aroma of sesame paste and oil spread out. The pickled duck eggs were fragrant even from the shells. The eggs laid by the wild ducks running by the stream had a natural fragrance that mixed with the oil was really tempting.
Zhang Jiajia quickly picked up the duck egg, ignoring the fact that the pot was still hot. He bought it with one point and then knocked it against the edge of the pot with a "crack".
After removing the eggshell in two or three strokes, Zhang Jiajia couldn't wait to open the greasy duck egg like opening a gift. The sandy yolk in the middle overflowed with sticky butter, and the unique aroma of sesame paste hit his face.
Zhang Jiajia swallowed with a gulp.
At the same time, he heard several gurgling sounds beside his ears, as if he was swallowing his saliva, and the sound echoed in all directions.
Zhang Jiajia: “?” What’s going on!
He quickly turned his head and glared! He saw a chicken, a horse, and a snake standing neatly in front of his kitchen window. Three pairs of eyes, each with a different look, were all staring intently at the fragrant duck egg in his hand.
Zhang Jiajia: “!” What happened!
His heart skipped a beat, but fortunately he saw the security guard standing by with an expressionless face. Only then did he dare to speak with slightly trembling hands, as if he were being bullied: "I... Can't I eat duck eggs?"
"Cuckoo, cluck, cluck." The pheasant clucked twice, realizing for the first time that the chicken language it spoke was incomprehensible to humans! It was as if the aroma had opened up its Ren and Du meridians—if it wanted to eat delicious food, it had to communicate with humans!
He quickly switched languages: "I want to eat!"
Xiaobai hurriedly followed and heard these righteous words. His poor "parents who provided him with food and clothing" and "high mountains and flowing water" were being severely bullied by the people of Storm Territory.
Xiaobai: “!” Damn it! The misunderstanding has gotten so deep! Is even Chef Zhang going to be implicated? Without Chef Zhang, Xiaobai...will starve to death!
No, can't, impossible!
He rushed forward and grabbed the three beasts: "You can't eat it!"
He turned his head and looked at the three beasts seriously. The chicken immediately recognized that it was Xiaobai who had "done a great service". He was about to tell him not to block him from eating, but Xiaobai stopped him immediately.
"Hungry Hungry Territory is a civilized territory. Everything must be purchased with points. It's not like..." He suddenly lowered his voice, "not like Storm Territory." Then his voice rose again: "How can you steal other people's things!"
"I didn't grab it..." Huaji immediately said, "I want to buy it!"
Xiaobai reached out for Zhang Jiajia: "Points."
The remaining three beasts looked at each other.
The Storm Territory also has currency, but it is completely different from the Hungry Hungry Territory.
The pheasant carefully took out a lot of divine light from its feathers: "This... is okay?" Divine light is the currency of the Storm Territory. As a veritable "rich chicken", he possesses a large amount of divine light. The gathered divine light emits a bright light. Who knows how much this huge sum of money is.
But...
Xiaobai shook his head heavily: "No!"
There is no acquisition information of Shen Guang on the task board, and Shen Guang cannot be exchanged for points.
The flower chicken silently retracted the divine light and sighed deeply.
At this moment, the duck egg was held by a hand and stretched out from the kitchen window. Inside was a human face with a smile on its face after looking surprised.
"I'll give it to you to eat."
