Small shop opening
By the time I had finished arranging the farm work, it was already dark.
Ye Miaomiao said goodbye to Hu Sanhan and the other seven people and went back to their room to rest.
Many people had pitched their homemade tents around the bonfire, their frames supported by long wooden poles and covered with palm leaves to keep out the wind at night. The bonfire cast flickering shadows on the tents.
Some people were already asleep, while others were whispering around the campfire.
No one noticed that a recruitment information appeared at some point and was at the top of the task board.
[Recruitment: Expedition team, strength at least greater than 15, no limit on the number of people.
Salary: Three free meals a day, 25 points per day during the mission.
......
On the third day of the disaster, the sky cleared up.
"Chen Yan, get up!"
"It's getting colder and colder," someone complained as soon as they woke up. "This weather is unbearable! The system clearly says it's spring, but is this still a spring chill?"
Chen Yan, feeling cold too, threw his only coat over his mother. He stood up at Zhang Shuo's call, only to see him leaning against the small table, his face filled with impatience.
"Keep your voice down, my mom is still sleeping. Don't break the table I built."
"Come on, buy breakfast."
Chen Yan frowned: "You don't have enough points again? I saw you buy it yesterday..."
"How is that possible!"
Zhang Shuo took the initiative to show the points panel, and sure enough, there were only 2 points.
"You're so strong, you don't know how weak we are. You can chop 300 pieces of wood in three hours, but I can only chop a little over 100, and I have a girlfriend to support..."
"Please use a little more strength!" Chen Yan said helplessly.
He emerged from the tent, shivering from the cold. "I'm trying to save up enough money to buy a spot as a full-fledged resident."
Zhang Shuo laughed and the two of them went out together after Chen Yan paid for breakfast.
As soon as I reached the gate of the territory, I saw a group of people gathered around the task bar. They were chattering about something, seemingly...
recruitment?
Zhang Shuo was shocked and immediately squeezed into the crowd. Chen Yan followed him in and only then saw the recruitment notice at the top of the list.
"The strength requirement is too high. Normal people only have 5 points. Isn't this three times the normal requirement?"
"It's over, it's over, it's completely over, let's go, it's too painful to watch any more."
"How can someone have 15 points of strength?"
Zhang Shuo immediately stretched out his hand a little, then let it down regretfully - there was no response.
"Don't dream. Unless you have 15 points of strength, it's impossible."
Zhang Shuo sighed and turned to look at the dazed Chen Yan: "15 points is too high. You probably don't have any either. Let's go."
Unexpectedly, Chen Yan suddenly stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the task board. A ray of light suddenly fell on his hand and disappeared.
The crowd watching: “?”
Someone asked impatiently, "Your strength is 15 points? Really?"
"It seems..." Chen Yan scratched his head: "I have always been strong since I was a child. I only found out that I have 30 points of strength after entering the game."
Onlookers: “…” Sorry to bother you.
Jealousy suddenly appeared in Zhang Shuo's eyes.
"I'm counting on you from now on, brother," Zhang Shuoqiang forced a smile. "Are you still going to chop trees?"
"I probably shouldn't go..." Chen Yan was suddenly startled by the message on the screen: "The Lord said... everyone has just gathered, and there will be morning exercise this morning, so he asked me to go over."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the recruitment notice disappeared with a flash of white light.
As if missing out on a hundred million people, the onlookers said: "Damn it, another one of us missed out on a job. When! When can I finally have a chance to eat at the territory's food!"
"Woo woo woo"
"Then I'll leave?" Chen Yan asked, "Are you still going to chop down trees? Is that okay? Everyone, please be careful."
"I'm fine." Zhang Shuo forced a smile.
He looked at Chen Yan's receding back, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
Jealousy took root instantly.
Never mind before, the difference wasn't that big. But now Chen Yan gets 25 points a day, almost double his!
Why? Just because this guy has some useless muscles, I can't beat him in anything?
Lian Aju also felt that she was not as good as Chen Yan.
He gave everything to A-Ju, and then what? A-Ju kept saying that she still loved Chen Yan more because... Chen Yan was more capable and could help her become a formal resident faster.
He worked so hard to save up money, to prove himself. Now... it's all gone!
If Aju really leaves him... Impossible!
Zhang Shuo looked at Chen Yan's figure and suddenly showed a twisted smile.
He did not go up the mountain to chop firewood, but quietly hid in the crowd and followed Chen Yan back to the territory.
......
Ye Miaomiao is in the temple at this moment.
Besides directly bestowing blessings and increasing health points, the priest can also create life potions, which can instantly restore health points, making it a must-have for robberies.
The NPC in the gathering hut would gather all kinds of berries and wild vegetables, as well as some medicinal herbs, so Ye Miaomiao had accumulated a lot of herbs in her warehouse, and now she had delivered them all to the priest.
"Add 10 points of health and make 10 bottles. Add 20 points of health and make 10 bottles. From now on, make this amount every day. Any extra will be stored in the warehouse."
The priest nodded slightly, holding the medicine spoon with his snow-white fingers and stirring slowly, a faint holy light emanating from his hands.
Even though she had seen it several times, Ye Miaomiao was still amazed: It really is magic.
When she walked out of the temple, the members of the expedition team were already waiting for her. Ye Miaomiao selected six people according to their strength values. The strength values of these six people were all above 20 points.
The tallest among them is a guy named Chen Yan.
"Boss, what morning exercise?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
Ye Miaomiao brought them to the tool room, where "Tool Man No. 1" worked overtime to make the second-level stone sticks and second-level bows last night. Ye Miaomiao distributed them to everyone one by one.
"Do you know about the ten o'clock morning guard duty?"
Of course, everyone goes through it.
This game is actually very special. No matter what skills you are good at or not, the more you practice, the faster your skill level will increase. This is a real reward for every effort.
In order to ensure that these six people receive sufficient practical training, Ye Miaomiao plans to let them participate in this guard mission.
Several people looked at each other, all a little frightened.
"Let him lead you." As a white-collar worker, Ye Miaomiao was not good at leading troops in battle, so he introduced Fang Yan, who had been waiting at the wall, to everyone.
She slowly took out a handful of...melon seeds from her pocket.
"Hello." Fang Yan glanced at everyone coldly.
"Look at you all, hunched over right now. Do you think you can defeat the invading enemy? Do you have the confidence to not retreat in the face of danger?"
Several people looked at each other.
Fang Yan, who had been lazily leaning against the wall, instantly straightened up: "Since I promised the Lord to train you, I must train you to the best of my ability!"
"Come here and do some warm-up exercises. Run five laps around the territory to get your spirits up!"
"yes!"
Outside the wall, there was a bustling bustle, but inside the wall, there was sighing.
The young and middle-aged had all gone out to gather resources, leaving only women, children, the elderly, the weak and the sick behind. Most of the young and old were ill, and they sighed one after another.
"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four!"
From a distance, I watched the new expedition team that was currently training outside the wall.
Aunt Li, who lived next door to Zhang Li, wiped away her tears and said, "Oh God, please open your eyes! I've just recruited a group of young men to explore new adventures. I hope nothing happens to them! My poor son is also this age. I hope he doesn't end up like him, with only..."
Having said this, she began to sob and cry again, unable to utter a word.
When the people around heard it, they tried to persuade her.
"That's not all." Aunt Li continued.
"Now I only have one daughter. I'm an old man with diabetes. I have to stay in the territory every day and eat 5-point meals to regain my health. Every day, I have to pay her food and taxes, 10 points at a time. I'm worried that she won't be able to buy a place. Anyway, she's already halfway in. I might as well die!"
"That's right, I've become a burden!"
Some of the people around me even shed tears. Who wouldn't be like that?
"It will be fine, Grandma Li." Zhang Li also sighed. She and Aunt Li were neighbors, and she knew Aunt Li's situation very well. It was not just Aunt Li who was in trouble.
She knew that pregnant women shouldn't worry too much, but she was already more than seven months pregnant and could do nothing. She could only watch other couples collecting resources together and earning double the wages. How could she not worry!
Now the end of the world has come, and she can only rely on her husband for support. What if...she really doesn't earn enough points? Where can her husband and her, a pregnant woman, go?
Just then, an elderly man with gray hair interrupted and said, "Want to buy some tools?"
His eyes were cloudy, but his hands were covered with calluses. He handed over a stone knife, which had some cracks on the edges but was basically smooth and translucent.
Zhang Li took the stone knife and looked around.
"This stone knife..." The old man pondered for a long time, speaking in pauses.
Before he could finish, a middle-aged woman appeared behind him the next second.
"Sorry, sorry, he has Alzheimer's disease. I was asked to watch him, but in the blink of an eye... Sorry, sorry, I disturbed you."
Zhang Li waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay, actually..."
But before Zhang Li could finish her words, the old man was dragged away. Zhang Li handed the stone knife back to the old man.
The two of them came and left in a hurry. The group of people who were talking just now didn't hear clearly and hurriedly asked Zhang Li.
"What's wrong?"
"Could it really be a tool?" Zhang Li seemed stunned, looking at her hands hesitantly. After a while, she said vaguely, "I didn't have time to see clearly. The stone knife made by the grandfather just now seemed to be... a tool?"
"What?"
"When I got it, the system popped up a tool display. Something like... a low-quality stone knife with low durability and low damage... can be used for gathering and picking."
"So what?" someone sighed, "It's just good luck."
"Those are props for the game. Can we make them?"
Zhang Li suddenly remembered the three vines her husband had placed in the tent. She had planned to accumulate ten vines to exchange for 1 point.
When Zhang Li was little, her grandfather was a craftsman in town, and to help support the family, she often helped weave rattan baskets and boxes. After going to college in another city, Zhang Li abandoned the craft, and I wonder if she's lost her skills over the years...
if...
......
I sat aside and cracked melon seeds for a while.
For the first time, Ye Miaomiao finished her guard duty feeling refreshed and in high spirits, without breaking a sweat. Meanwhile, the other members of the expedition team collapsed on the grass, exhausted and panting.
Today, there were five level one "people of God" and they were almost unable to cope with them. Fortunately, there was Ye Miaomiao's sharp perception and Fang Yan's quick command.
The six of them dealt with five monsters one after another. Not only did they become familiar with each other's coordination, but they also practiced a crescent-shaped formation.
Three people are in the front and three are in the back.
However, hard work is rewarded, and the system generously gives very generous rewards.
