dying
No matter how serious the disaster is, what can it do? It's just a drop in temperature in winter.
Luo Zhiwen recalled the psychological process when he sold his cotton-padded sweaters to save money and didn't buy a down jacket. He comforted himself again and gave himself a dose of reassurance.
Yes, he is not wrong.
Thinking this, I tightened my leather jacket around myself and, with determination, pushed open the door. A biting cold wind, mixed with snow, rushed towards me.
The supposedly windproof leather jacket felt like a thin sheet of paper, unable to block the wind at all. The chill seeped into his clothes from all directions, sticking to his warm skin, and Luo Zhiwen shivered violently.
[You have been attacked by the cold! Please quickly maintain your temperature to the standard level. Warning! You are about to become: Dying (all attributes -10).]
[Warm Tip: When you are dying, please be sure to maintain your body temperature, ensure calorie intake, and lie down to rest.]
What the hell! The message received by everyone else in the group is different!
Luo Zhiwen felt that he had lost a lot of strength in an instant, his head was dizzy, and his whole body was weak.
It’s a psychological effect, it must be a psychological effect!
It's just a reduction in status, what's the big deal?
Luo Zhiwen went to the restaurant to buy some hot meals, but he didn't have enough money left to spend. He ignored the gentle reminder to "lie down and rest" and hurried to the forest to chop trees, tools in hand.
Due to the reduction in attributes, the harvest from his tree felling was much less!
Fortunately, I had the third-level tool, and soon I had earned enough money for lunch and dinner.
Luo Zhiwen breathed a sigh of relief, immediately put down the axe and decided not to continue working.
It happened to be almost eleven o'clock, and Luo Zhiwen was walking towards the hotel. On the way, he saw many people suffering from frostbite.
Spoiled!
Luo Zhiwen folded his arms. Wasn't it just a little cold? Wasn't it just a "dying" sign on his status bar? Besides...no one else in the group was in the same condition as him, and everyone else in the group was sick.
Look at him, it's been all this time and he still hasn't shown any symptoms!
It is obvious that any disaster is alarmist and scary!
Luo Zhiwen was wearing thin clothes and was often looked at with surprised eyes when he walked on the street.
When I was almost at the restaurant, I saw an acquaintance. Wasn’t it Jiawen’s uncle?
"Zhiwen!" Jiawen's uncle exclaimed, "Why are you still dressed like this? You can't wear this. Go back and put on more clothes, or go to the knitting hut and buy some clothes!"
Many people have already been infected. Jiawen's uncle was accompanying a friend who had been infected. He had frostbite on his ear, and he couldn't help scratching it, so pus and blood oozed from half his cheek!
So scary!
He was lucky enough that there were "Jiao'er" dumplings in the territory that were specially made to treat cold ears. If he went to a restaurant and had a bowl of them, his symptoms would be better.
For those who were unlucky enough to get hurt on other parts of the body, especially on their hands, they couldn't find a solution immediately, so they had to stop working, stay in a warm room, and soak their hands in hot water to speed up blood circulation.
You also need to eat food that increases your health and mood points at all times to prevent them from dropping too much at once, which would make the situation worse.
"I'm fine! I'm a grown man, I'm in good health! It's just a little cold, I'll be fine after a while!"
Seeing Jiawen's uncle, Luo Zhiwen was even more complacent. He bit the word "big man" in his mouth, feeling quite proud.
These people didn't believe him before, and now he didn't want to talk to them anymore.
"Oh, you!" Jiawen's uncle didn't know what to say. He could only remind her: "The hotel sells cold-weather sets. You should at least eat some, otherwise..."
"Yes, yes, I understand!" Luo Zhiwen waved his hand.
He had come out intending to have a meal, and he would not compromise on eating, so Jiawen's uncle didn't need to remind him.
A thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground. Luo Zhiwen, arms folded, braved the wind and snow, walking towards the hotel step by step. His back, wrapped tightly in a leather jacket, looked particularly frail.
Jiawen's uncle looked at Luo Zhiwen's back worriedly. He tried to persuade him but to no avail.
After all, he is Jiawen's father and a support for Jiawen.
Her uncle didn't know whether he should tell his sister and ask her to persuade him. After all, he and Luo Zhiwen only get together during the holidays and they are not really close.
Just as I was thinking about it, my friend next to me was still saying, "This person really doesn't take disasters seriously! Look at my ears, he must be the next me..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw Luo Zhiwen's body shaking in front of him, and he fell to the ground in the snow with a "thump"!
Points, wood, clothes and other items fell to the ground with a rustling sound, emitting a faint white light.
The person who was originally fine disappeared in an instant!
"Luo Zhiwen!" In a trance, Luo Zhiwen heard someone shouting. It was Jiawen's uncle's voice: "Where is he?! Quickly cover him with my clothes on the ground. How can I get warm if he's gone?"
What with what...
Luo Zhiwen only saw a message pop up in front of him -
[As you were dying, you were once again attacked by the cold and overworked. You were unable to recover and passed away.]
"What?" Luo Zhiwen opened his mouth in shock. Before he could say anything, he felt a sharp pain and then lost consciousness.
The confused people nearby: "!"
"Something's happened!" a friend shouted, "Hurry up! Someone looks dead!"
It immediately caused a sensation and commotion!
It turns out that this disaster has two basic states.
If you don't eat enough, you'll be in the "Weak and Sick" state, making you more susceptible to cold and illness. If you don't dress warmly enough, you'll be in the "Dying" state, which isn't just about being sick; if you catch a cold or get tired, it could be fatal!
Now everyone was in danger, and they all wrapped themselves up tightly, like a bear, for fear of being infected with the [dying] state.
As an official resident, Ye Miaomiao was the first to receive the notification when Luo Zhiwen died.
Looking at the word "dying" on the notice, she really couldn't believe that she had sold all her cotton-padded clothes, sweaters and down jackets. Everyone in the territory should have one, but there were still people who froze to death?
However, seeing the name Luo Zhiwen...
Ye Miaomiao recalled for a moment and finally remembered, isn’t this the man who sells clothes?
After all, she was a formal resident. Ye Miaomiao sighed. She posted a message in the group chat, asking everyone to wear warm clothes. Also, anyone who had the [Dying] effect should not be underestimated and should wear warm clothes.
If you really don't have any clothes, you can ask her. After explaining the situation, Ye Miaomiao can ask the weaving hut to make a ready-made one.
Productivity is insufficient now, and materials are needed in all aspects.
Just as Jiawen's uncle said before, only a few lucky people have their ears infected, and most people have their hands infected and can't even work -
There are also quite a few staff members among them, which has reduced the productivity of the territory.
However, the low temperatures created a huge demand for scarves, gloves, and hats, and the territory was unable to produce them all. To maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, the amount of charcoal used had to double...
The territory needs people to keep working! Otherwise, how will we get the winter supplies?
[Weak constitution and multiple diseases] are all caused by insufficient calorie intake. The solution is actually very simple, just eat more.
If you eat too much and are not weak or sickly, you will naturally not catch a disease without paying attention.
The food currently served in restaurants is at the level of "home-cooked dishes". A set meal is not enough in calories, and buying more is either too expensive or you can't eat more.
Ye Miaomiao simply changed the food provided by the restaurant to the level of "delicacies". Now, with the same price, the food she could buy would be richer.
For example, the original pickled pepper porridge set meal will be changed to "delicious dishes", and one more snack will be added. Meat can be added to the porridge, and the amount of pickled peppers will also be larger.
Although the cost of food is high, Ye Miaomiao doesn't feel like she is losing money.
Just earning less means everyone will be less susceptible to the negative state of "physical weakness and illness".
It is only when the territory can continue to operate that it is truly worthwhile.
This change immediately received a lot of praise, including some people who had breakfast in the morning but continued to receive the message "Your calorie intake is insufficient, and you have gained a negative status: weak and sickly."
After eating the "delicious food" level set meal, I didn't receive any similar notifications in the afternoon.
"It really works!" someone shouted in the group.
"Thank you, Lord. You are my God!"
"I was so scared. I heard Luo Zhiwen is dead. I'm not dying, but seeing how weak and sickly I am, I don't even dare to leave the house!"
"Thank you, Lord. Now I finally feel confident."
"Good reviews, good reviews quickly!"
“Highly praised!”
At this time, Apu's grandmother was sitting in front of the fireplace knitting a sweater.
Their family only bought one official resident quota, but the whole family, young and old, moved in. After all, in the face of a cold disaster, staying warm is the most important thing, so it doesn't matter if they squeeze in.
Their family was one of the lucky ones, as they had installed glass windows early on.
In the morning, Grandma Apu habitually opened a window to ventilate, but accidentally became weak and sickly.
The elderly person was not in good health to begin with. Although he did not go out, he was able to recover from his "dying" state after knitting for a while.
The old man was not used to checking social circles, so he didn't know the seriousness of the situation and didn't take it seriously. He just casually asked Apu.
This frightened Apu so much that he quickly put down his work, and even Rita asked for leave.
