The Eve of the Blood Moon (Part 2)
Ye Miaomiao sighed. The blood moon came too quickly and she had no time to prepare.
Now it seems that we can only take the risk of using the human foundry hut. Building a hut costs 200 ore, and a total of six people can be employed. It takes two days to produce 600 ore. After deducting the expenses...
Ye Miaomiao counted silently on her fingers and took the drawing from the researcher's hand.
To be honest, Ye Miaomiao, who was completely disappointed with winemaking, had no idea about this "shabby-looking" blueprint. She even thought it was dirty and dusty...
However, the moment he took the "dusty" blueprint, a notification popped up -
[Congratulations to Lord Ye Miaomiao for spending 25,000 research points to successfully unlock an SSR-level item——]
"SSR?!"
Ye Miaomiao was shocked! Was she the one who was blind to the truth and looked down upon the blueprint?
She immediately focused her gaze on the screen and read out the words word by word:
Strange...contract? (Broken)
Content: ...Pathetic test subject... You are allowed to borrow my power, but you and your kind must... The cycle of cause and effect continues. If you attempt... You will lose the opportunity to re-enter... Destruction!]
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
"What is this?" Not to mention Ye Miaomiao looking at the materialized text, the people next to her were listening to the incoherent words and were even more confused, waiting for Ye Miaomiao to continue reading.
But she stopped reading aloud, her eyes fixed on the bottom of the screen, her expression suddenly becoming unusually brilliant—
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Ye Miaomiao: “?”
Who can tell her, is this game serious?
The pay-to-win advertisement may not be serious, but this broken contract is indeed a legitimate SSR-level item.
The red first deposit button below flashed a festive light, almost bringing tears of poverty to Ye Miaomiao. She silently glanced at her three-digit balance and realized that if she wanted to become a RMB player, the road to making money would be long and arduous.
First...spend 200 points.
Ye Miaomiao pressed the button of "Enjoy the first charge discount" with a heartache. In the astonished eyes of the onlookers, a bright yellow light full of the smell of vulgar money lit up from the dim props, then circled around the divine light, and "puff" merged into it.
Then, a hollowed-out golden cup appeared out of thin air, and the wine in the barrel flowed into the cup like a rainbow. Several illusory neon fireworks bloomed around the cup.
The festive banner "Congratulations to VIP player Ye Miaomiao for receiving the 200-point gift for the first recharge!" slowly opened, shining with golden light!
——The gorgeous ritual sense of vanity is instantly maximized.
Everyone was stunned.
Ye Miaomiao, who was just feeling sorry for her points, suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction: "..." I like it... so much, is this... normal?
"Bell, drink it." She patted Bell, who was staring at her with big eyes.
"Really...really?"
Bell's short little fingers trembled. He swallowed and carefully lifted the golden cup. He sniffed it carefully, as if it were nectar, and then...
Let out an intoxicated sigh.
Ye Miaomiao: Money does smell good.
She rarely urges him, patiently watching Bell make all the extravagant preparations, then sip the entire glass of wine.
I don't know how those soybean-sized eyes could emit such bright light, but Bell exclaimed loudly: "Good! Delicious!"
"What's the effect?"
"Just like it says on the brewing accelerator, quadruple it! Lasts for twenty-four hours!"
Ye Miaomiao immediately felt relieved——
Fruit wine used to take three days to brew, but with the accelerator, it only took seven and a half hours. After Bell drank the "first charge reward" glass of wine, he could continue to make the rest.
There is enough mineral material!
Bell smacked his lips, and touched the accelerator lovingly, almost lifting his beard to kiss it—
"Grandpa is so amazing! It's a pity that I didn't learn from him, otherwise I, Bell, could also design such an amazing prop, and then... I could drink something like this every day..."
Ye Miaomiao: “…” No, it’s all the power of points.
She urged Bell to go forge iron quickly. Knowing the importance of the blood moon, Bell stopped drinking and said goodbye to Zuo Haohan before returning to the foundry.
Ye Miaomiao looked at the accelerator with satisfaction. As painful as she felt when charging the money, she felt satisfied now.
Tasks one and two have been completed, and only task three remains.
Ye Miaomiao first sent a private message to Fang Yan, but he didn't reply for a long time. He didn't know where he went for training. Ye Miaomiao waited for news and went down to the mine to visit the six hard-working miners.
The mine tunnel is not dark, there is a special light every few meters.
The miners dug up the ore one by one and stacked them neatly in a cane frame on the side. When the frame was full and carried to the mining hut, the ore would automatically enter the warehouse.
Casting ore into props all depends on the front-line miners!
It was almost lunch time, so Ye Miaomiao asked Zhang Jiajia to bring down some delicious food, and they all had dinner together in the tavern.
Coincidentally, Fang Yan also sent a message at this time, saying that he had returned from the training. Ye Miaomiao hurriedly finished her meal and hurried to the outside of the city wall.
.
The sun was blazing brightly, yet there was no trace of warmth in the territory. Some people believed that winter was approaching.
What is even more heartbreaking is the message I just saw on the task board.
"Hungry Hungry" Territory Notice: On the evening of the seventh day of the game, the territory will undergo a special guard mission, which will last for one night. Residents are requested to plan their time in advance, prepare their points, and try to stay in the territory before 9 PM on the seventh day...
"Actually, there's no need for us to go out at night, unless we really can't get enough points. Who would go out at night? It's so dangerous during the day..."
A group of people just looked at the task board and entered the territory.
The weather was so cold that they had planned to go to the kitchen to prepare a hot meal, but they didn't expect to see such a chilling notice.
"I think our territory is not weak. The expedition team has put on new equipment. I don't think there is anything to worry about. We can just do what we need to do."
"It's just..." another person muttered, "It's just that hearing those two words 'blood moon' is so scary. And it lasts all night!"
"What kind of world is this? Not only are there daily guard missions, but there are also special guard missions."
The group of people walked away, muttering to themselves.
Blood...moon?
What they said unintentionally happened to reach the ears of those sitting by the campfire.
The man was staring blankly at the bonfire, motionless as if he had lost his soul. But the moment he heard about the blood moon, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had been charged with energy, and his mind instantly became clear.
"I remember!" he shouted, scaring several people around the campfire!
"I remember!" The man suddenly stood up and chased after the people who had just mentioned the blood moon. "Lord! Don't go. I remember! He has a tool! He can lure all the monsters to the Hungry Hungry territory!"
The man who had just muttered about the blood moon was caught red-handed and was startled: "What are you doing!"
Many people around looked over, and some thought the man looked more and more familiar.
"Isn't this what Chef Zhang brought back?" The man was actually Fang Zhiyong!
Seeing that he was sitting there in a daze and didn't move no matter how they called him, Zhang Jiajia temporarily left him and went to the underground city to eat. Unexpectedly, something went wrong!
Fang Zhiyong stood in the center of the crowd and couldn't recognize who "Ye Miaomiao" was for a moment, so he had to shout to someone at random.
"You're in Hungry Hungry Territory! You've ruined Yu Chao's plans! He has props, and he wants to lure all the monsters here. He said, he said he would... he said... he said he would completely destroy Hungry Hungry Territory!"
Flatten...hungry hungry hungry territory?
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and immediately everyone's eyes turned to look over.
Those who were eating put down their chopsticks, and the food they were chewing suddenly lost its taste in their mouths; those who were chatting and laughing stopped talking, and looked at each other in shock; the person who had just said to relax because of the special mission was even slapping his lips, what a bad mouth!
"Is...is this true?" Someone in the crowd, who had suddenly fallen silent, murmured.
Someone familiar questioned, "That was him outside the territory this morning! He's crazy, can you trust him?"
Fang Zhiyong said, half lucid and half confused, "Lord, you stopped him from killing He Feixiang. He gets a bonus for annexing a territory, but if you don't kill He Feixiang, the bonus will be halved... You, you shouldn't have ruined his good fortune and earned his grudge."
"He..." Fang Zhiyong murmured, "He is very narrow-minded..."
Before he could finish, someone exclaimed, "He Feixiang! Isn't he the one who repeatedly came to our territory and was thrown away? If this person is crazy, how would he know... He Feixiang?"
"The ones chasing He Feixiang weren't those..." Someone else swallowed in horror: "Aren't they those monsters?"
"Monster...monster..." Fang Zhiyong murmured.
Suddenly everyone's eyes were focused on him, hoping that the terrifying speculation just now was just an illusion.
"Yu Chao, he is a monster. He wants to eat me. He...he ate Master Liu and Luo Mei..." When he said this, Fang Zhiyong trembled and walked backwards involuntarily. With a "bang", he was tripped by a piece of gravel and fell to the ground, but he was unaware of it and was still muttering terrifying words.
That indescribable expression was deeply engraved in everyone's heart.
Could it be...that what he said was true?
The air seemed to have volume, solidifying and cooling, blocking everyone's breathing holes, making the territory that was obviously filled with the breath of life suddenly become silent.
Various questions swirled in their minds——
Is Yu Chao also human? Why did he become a monster? And...most importantly, if he attracts monsters, can the territory still easily survive the special defense mission?
