It turns out to be a fat job
The air was so stagnant that it suffocated Chen Yan.
He suppressed his excitement about sharing the good news and approached his mother, puzzled. She was sobbing, her eyes red, her hands covering her face. As for what had happened... Chen Yan was at a loss, and immediately looked to the aunts and uncles nearby, hoping for an answer.
Sure enough, these talkative aunts immediately started talking one after another.
"Xiao Chen, I heard you joined that expedition? You're so foolish! You're my only son. What if something happens to you? When your mom heard about it, she almost fainted from tears..."
"As soon as I heard the points were so high, I knew it wasn't a good thing. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Xiao Chen, keep your eyes open and don't get fooled..."
"You are the only child of the Chen family. Don't be fooled by Aunt Li's prosperous business. She is still thinking about her daughter. If you really die, your mother..."
“…”
After listening for a long time, I finally understood the whole story——
These people felt that he had been deceived and was being used as cannon fodder to die!
Chen Yan looked at the condemning eyes of several distant relatives and the pessimistic looks of his neighbors, and suddenly a trace of anger and injustice on behalf of his territory rose from the bottom of his heart.
The lord was just a young girl, about his own age, busy and dedicated every day. Judging by the speed at which the territory was developing, it was clear she was doing her best! Did she still have to endure such unwarranted suspicion?
"The lord will go with me on the mission. Is she going to die herself?"
Chen Yan suppressed his anger, pushed aside a neighbor who was watching the fun, and put all the things he received after joining the company on the small table.
"This is a life potion, given to us free by the territory." Chen Yan held up a drop of red potion that looked like water and a pill. The potion was surrounded by a holy white light, and the liquid molecules inside were flowing actively. "This will increase your health by 10 points at once."
Chen Yan pointed to another darker drop and said, "This one will increase your health by 20 points!"
Someone touched it out of curiosity, and sure enough, the system's reminder was exactly the same as what Chen Yan said.
"There's actually this kind of medicine in the territory!"
"10 o'clock... 20 o'clock..."
Someone exclaimed, "A special dish that adds 3 health points costs a full 5 points. There are 30 health points in total... shouldn't it be at least... 50 points?!"
"Points aren't important," Chen Yan looked at his mother seriously. "As long as my health points don't reach zero, I won't die. The lord gave me so many potions, which means he doesn't want us to die."
"Are you kidding me?" someone exclaimed. "We only have 20 health points in total. No matter what happens, we can just take a sip of medicine and it's full again!
"It's not just that I don't want to die, I can't even die if I want to!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
This expedition team is not what the rumors say, where they are in danger of losing their lives in exchange for points.
This is clearly a lucrative job that makes people jealous!
"Oh wow, such a great benefit, 50 points, why didn't you tell me earlier?" An elderly woman exclaimed, "I'll ask my son to go too. Ah Chen is already a full-time employee, so it shouldn't be difficult to recommend him."
The others also began to mutter, their words filled with bitterness and amazement. Some even hurried back, busy spreading this firsthand news. It was clear that this news would soon spread throughout the territory.
"Mom," Chen Yan ignored them and opened the midnight snack wrapped in leaves.
There was a fistful of hot rice at the bottom, surrounded by a few bunches of juicy berries, and layer upon layer of bacon, stir-fried cabbage, pork belly, and dry pot vegetables on the rice, which looked very appetizing.
"Your son is not stupid, don't you know?" He handed the meal to his mother and said, "You've been so anxious for so long, but you didn't send me a message? He must not have eaten yet, so hurry up and eat."
The aroma of hot food spread instantly. Mother Chen wiped her tears and shook her head helplessly.
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, the two of them supported each other and walked into the tent.
"Gurgle——" I'm hungry.
"Me too..."
Li Ru and Zhang Shuo's tents were not far away, so they naturally heard everything.
Li Rugang was gloating. Fortunately, she was just talking and didn't really follow Chen Yan. Otherwise, she would become a widow inexplicably, and she might not get a penny and would have given everything to his mother.
But the next second, Li Ru couldn't laugh anymore.
It turns out that she missed such a good man?
She turned to look at the man with a sullen face and said, "Were you the one who went to gossip? You said you were not feeling well this morning and couldn't go out, but you went to Aunt Chen's again. I was surprised."
"Why didn't you tell me this first?" she demanded. "What's the point of disturbing someone's money-making? They're just capable, and they're better than you. Unlike you, you're so petty and mean, trying to sow discord!"
"You are capable." Zhang Shuo gritted his teeth and squeezed out these four words word by word.
His face was as pale as if it had been painted, and his eyes were wide open, scaring Li Ru so much that she took a step back.
"What?" she murmured.
After a moment, Zhang Shuo looked at Chen Yan's tent and suddenly showed a strange smile again.
"Wait for me, A'ru." As he said this, he took out the 15 points he had secretly saved in the past two days from the system. Zhang Shuo handed him a thin piece of paper and pen.
"You take it first, this is all my points."
Li Ru took it impatiently and sneered, "Any benefit they get is 50 points, how about you?"
"Wait for me for two days. I will set out to make money early tomorrow morning. When I come back... I will definitely become richer than him..." Zhang Shuo ignored Li Ru's sarcasm and just looked outside strangely.
"You're so useless." Li Ru was too lazy to pay attention to him. She simply lay on the ground, turned over and faced away from him, silently calculating that with her level, she really deserved better.
......
At this moment, Ye Miaomiao had just built the "weaving hut" and gave the female workers the title of "Clothing Team No. 1".
There are quite a lot of raw materials that female workers can use. Fur, linen, cotton, etc. can all be sewn into various things.
Ye Miaomiao thought about the increasingly cold weather and recalled Zhang Jiajia's words that day. Before the apocalypse, it was still summer, and many people in the territory were still wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and they would be chilled by the cold wind every morning and evening.
Ye Miaomiao asked the female workers to sew long-sleeved shirts and trousers first. Five sets of ready-made clothes a day was just the limit for the female workers, and it just used up the two kilograms of cotton that Li Mu could produce in a day.
Ye Miaomiao: Good news for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It was getting dark, and Ye Miaomiao took a leisurely walk, digested her food, and went to the wooden house to prepare for bed.
But as soon as she reached the cabin, she stopped in surprise.
What about her plain, ramshackle, dilapidated cabin that was about to fall apart and leak?
Why is it gone?
What came into view was a sturdy stone house. On the clean porch, a small row of square flower pots held a vibrant array of wildflowers. Next to the door stood a small wooden hut, half a person's height. Inside, a pristine little yellow dog watched her from behind.
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
She had almost forgotten that upgrading the village would give her a rhubarb. Rhubarb had no other uses, except for eating, drinking, and causing trouble.
but...
Ye Miaomiao vaguely remembered reading a guide that suggested feeding Da Huang various spoils of disaster would produce some additional changes...
Ye Miaomiao threw a "divine light" to it, and sure enough, Dahuang ate it happily, but... nothing happened.
It whimpered a few times and then retreated back into its cabin to sleep.
Ye Miaomiao opened her eyes wide waiting for changes: "..." I gave you too much expectations.
She pushed open the wooden door and found that the room, which used to have only a shabby wooden bed, now had a lot of new things.
A fire was burning brightly in the fireplace at one side of the room, and the bright flames made the whole room warm. In front of the fireplace was a shaggy rug, and on the rug was a single-seater rocking chair.
On the other side of the room was a large bed. The simple bed frame, which was originally supported by two shaky boards, had become sturdy and spacious, with wooden frames with decorative patterns at the head and foot of the bed.
There was a small table by the window, on which stood a wooden vase with a few scented roses elegantly placed.
Ye Miaomiao: “!”
But her excitement wasn't about the cabin becoming more humane. She immediately turned on the system and quickly checked the comfort level—20!
In other words, if she sleeps here, she can recover 10 points of various values in one night!
Ye Miaomiao: Huge profit!
She immediately lay down on the bed and felt a sense of comfort all over her body.
Before going to bed, Ye Miaomiao received a system prompt——
[Hello, Lord from District 543464. Currently, one territory in your area has been completely destroyed, leaving only seven remaining. Human players worldwide, please unite and help us all. We are with you.]
[Warning! According to big data, a territory in your area is about to leave the Civilization Alliance. Please protect the safety of your own territory!]
Ye Miaomiao: "?" She understood the first part about a territory being destroyed, but what did the second part about leaving the alliance mean? Why did she have to protect herself?
However, sleepiness came over her, and Ye Miaomiao lost consciousness while thinking. When she woke up again, it was already daybreak.
......
On the fourth day of the disaster, it was sunny and a good time to go on a mission.
After Ye Miaomiao woke up, her mind was still thinking about the system notification last night. It was not until she finished her daily guard duty unknowingly and Fang Yan frowned and called her that she came to her senses.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ye Miaomiao took a screenshot of the notification and showed it to him.
Fang Yan is also a veteran player. He thought for a moment and shook his head, "Civilization has never had this kind of notification before."
"Right!" This is what bothered Ye Miaomiao the most: "So they have no idea... what it means to leave the Civilization Alliance? They want us to protect ourselves? Are they going to be our enemies? Are they going to be wary of our own kind?"
"I don't know," Fang Yan said, "but there will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. The most important thing is to improve my own strength."
That's true, but...
Ye Miaomiao felt a little more apprehensive.
This means that in addition to God's people, there will be a group of intelligent beings of the same kind attacking her at any time.
She was going out on a mission with the main force. If her house was robbed by the enemy while she was away, it would be a real loss.
My territory now has 707 points, including the 154 points left over from yesterday, the 450 points from today's guard mission, and the 103 points I earned from breakfast at the shop this morning. Buying the first security guard costs 100 points, the second 200 points, and each subsequent point doubles, until the third one is 400 points.
Ye Miaomiao used almost all of his points to buy three second-level security guard territories.
Level 2 security guards not only automatically equip level 2 weapons, but also have 10 attack points! Four security guards focusing their fire on a monster can kill a level 1 monster in just one second.
The powerful security team has far exceeded the village's needs. Even if the third-level "People of God" invade, they can hold their ground and not be at a disadvantage.
Ye Miaomiao: It is really a necessity for home life!
"Security Team One, Two, Three, and Four, while I'm gone, you will protect the territory and patrol it."
"Yes, Lord."
