Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Attitude
After entrusting the stall to the system, everyone formed a team and went to the dungeon according to yesterday's route.
"Today's goal is for everyone to reach level 10!"
Except for Tang Li, who (was forced) to solo several bosses and gained a huge amount of experience, so naturally reached level ten after completing the dungeon, the levels of others were still a little short.
They planned to wait until all members reached level 10 before challenging the difficult mode of the Goblin Nest.
Of course, it would be even better if you could collect all the Greedy Sets for each profession before that.
But it's obvious that this shouldn't be that easy, so no one mentioned it.
The entrance to the copy.
Compared to the huge crowds when they left yesterday, there are much fewer players gathered around the dungeon now. This may be because the vast majority of players are currently around level five or six. They just joined in the fun when the dungeon opened yesterday, but when they found that they couldn't beat it, many of them went back to level up.
Those who are still holding on are basically a group of elite players of higher levels in the Silver Camp and nearby camps.
These people were not only well-prepared, their levels were almost the same as theirs, and their team configuration was much more reasonable than theirs. If they hadn't discovered the dungeon first, it would be hard to say who would have cleared it first.
However, it was already three or four in the afternoon when the dungeon information was announced yesterday, and today has just begun, so as of now, there is no other team that has cleared the Goblin Nest dungeon.
However, not long after they cleared the dungeon yesterday, news of several novice villages in other territories on the mainland passing the dungeon was announced to the world. It was not known whether they were inspired by their success in clearing the dungeon yesterday, or whether they were on the verge of success but just had bad luck and were ahead of them.
"Shall we record a walkthrough and sell it to players looking to farm the Goblin Nest?" After entering the dungeon, it was easy to conclude that someone else would clear it today. Thinking of seizing the opportunity and making a quick buck, Ju Lizi exchanged a glance with Ci Bu De Yi. After receiving his affirmative nod, he suggested to the others, "We should be able to make some money."
"Can."
"no problem."
Tang Li and Li Zi remained silent.
It was He Biduoyan who revealed a rare moment of idol-like burden. He straightened his body instantly, his expression solemn as if he was swearing an oath: "Then I have to perform well."
"It's okay, he's just suffering from social anxiety," Li Zi explained to the confused Tang Li, then rolled her eyes at He Bi Duoyan. "Don't be so nervous. You know how good the privacy protection is on Magic Continent."
It makes me sad to think of this Li Zi. As a person who loves looks, her original purpose of approaching Tang Li was because Tang Li's appearance was very much in line with her aesthetic.
Unfortunately, the privacy protection of "Magic Continent" is too abnormal. It is obvious that as long as real information is not leaked, it will be fine. However, this game even has a setting that forces face blindness when out of sight. As a result, every time she wants to reminisce about Tang Li's beautiful face after logging off, she has no idea where to start.
"That's right, it doesn't matter if the movements are vulgar, as long as the fighting skills are correct." For example, he unconditionally defended his girlfriend.
"Damn it! That makes me even more nervous. And how could my actions be obscene?" Hebi Duoyan was so angry that his face turned red. He quickly came to Cibudeyi's rescue, "Boss, please say something for me. There's no such thing as obscene, right?"
"Heh." The answer was an ambiguous chuckle.
"Wow, wow, wow!" He Biduoyan suffered a major blow. His only hope now was the kind-hearted Tang Li.
Being looked at with such a tall and big man's pitiful and hopeful eyes like a puppy, and then teasing him like his friends, always felt... good. Tang Li lowered her head in embarrassment, as if thinking about how to not hurt him without lying: "Ah... well, it's getting late, we should go to the dungeon early."
"You changed the subject so abruptly, so you think so too?" He Biduoyan's voice was miserable and full of collapse.
"Hahahahahaha!" Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Are you kidding me?" He Biduoyan immediately reacted, "That's too much!"
"Okay, okay, sorry, let's hurry up and finish the dungeon. The rewards for the difficult mode can't be taken away by others."
Jokes aside, it's still very reliable when everyone takes it seriously.
After so many times yesterday, everyone was already familiar with the distribution and skills of the monsters in the Goblin Nest. This time, everyone was much more relaxed than yesterday.
Even with the task of recording the strategy guide, they completed the dungeon much faster than yesterday.
After exiting the dungeon, the Goblin's Nest academy leaderboard, which originally only had their team name, had four more team names added, which meant that four teams had cleared the Goblin's Nest academy during this period.
But it’s not a big problem, as their team is currently ranked first.
01:31:14, this is the time they took to complete the dungeon. The time taken by other teams to complete the dungeon should at least start with 02.
They still have the advantage at the moment.
"Let's continue?" Looking at the refreshed ranking where the clearance time was far ahead, there was no need to say more and I was full of energy.
"Walk!"
In the last round, Cibudeyi and Jugerlizi each got a piece of Greedy Suit. After equipping them, their combat power increased a lot. After this round, they set a new record in the dungeon clearance time ranking.
By the third round, the nanny simply let them go and edited the video while she was doing it. When they finished the third round of the dungeon, she had already sent the edited guide to several familiar wealthy bosses in the camp.
"One hundred gold coins per copy. I sold about ten copies. I'll distribute the money to you now." After completing three rounds of dungeons, it was already noon. While everyone was taking a break, I distributed the money from selling the strategy guide to everyone.
The Goblin Nest learning simple mode is not difficult for too many people, but their strategy is also a collection of the wisdom of five people, and it is a very valuable reference strategy. For example, they simply set a price that is not too high but does not disappoint their hard work.
The purpose of doing this is mainly to sell strategies for subsequent modes and build good relationships in advance.
Amidst the pleasant sound of gold coins colliding, Tang Li happily won a huge sum of money.
"Great!" The gold coins healed Tang Li's heart, which had been broken by not getting the Greedy Set. How many seeds could I buy with so many gold coins? Suddenly, Tang Li felt like she could clear the dungeon ten more times!
"This is the first time I've seen so much money in this stingy game!" Li Zi was also very happy. Saving money hard certainly gives a sense of accomplishment, but who wouldn't like the feeling of getting rich overnight? She had already started to think about how to spend the money.
"I can do a lot of things with so much money." He Biduoyan planned to use the money to upgrade his house. It was not that he had any sense of belonging to the home in the game, but growing wheat and opening treasure chests were too tempting. He had to level up during the day and could not find time to go online at night, so he could only work hard in other areas.
For example, seeing how excited they were, I reminded them, "Don't spend all your money. The Goblin Auction House shouldn't take long to build. They say there's a lot of good stuff there, right? If you come across something you like but don't have the money to buy it, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Damn it, the money is still not enough!" The three people who really hadn't thought about this matter at all lowered their heads guiltily.
"If you want to make money, here's a good way," the three of them looked over with bright eyes, citing an example and smiling, "Clear the hard mode and sell the dungeon guide!"
"What are you waiting for? Let's go now!" He Biduyan stood up first.
After completing the third round of dungeons, everyone's level reached level ten. Tang Li, who had the highest level, was already level eleven.
"No, let's do two more rounds of normal mode." The financial support swept away everyone's fatigue, but now was obviously not the time to do difficult mode. He shook his head and refused without being able to express himself clearly.
Indeed, now is not the time to open up difficult dungeons.
Firstly, they didn't go out early today, so they didn't have enough time. Secondly, for example, they heard from other players that several teams that explored the Goblin Nest in difficult mode didn't last long in there.
"Why?" Tang Li and Li Zi's heated minds calmed down after being rejected. They waited quietly for an explanation that was inexpressible, but He Biduoyan was obviously still a little confused, so they asked directly.
"Use your brain occasionally..." He Biduoyan's physical fitness is really good, but maybe because he and Brother Ci have been by his side since he was a child, so after so many years, this kid is still only growing in height but not in mind. For example, he has long been accustomed to it, so he explained the situation to him without being surprised.
"We need to collect as many Greedy Suit parts as possible, otherwise we won't have enough combat power. How about this? It's noon now, so let's try Hard Mode around 3:00 PM. We don't have to clear it, but if we can't, we can retreat. Just consider it preparation for tomorrow."
"Okay." There was no need to say more. Li Zi and Tang Li both looked a little disappointed.
I don’t know if they are disappointed that they can’t make money right away, or that they can’t open dungeons, but I always feel that they are the latter.
There is no doubt that He Biduoyan is a reckless man, and Li Zi is also a naive person. It is not surprising that the two of them would behave like this. However, Tang Li looks smart, but in fact she is so reckless, which really surprised them.
"He doesn't look that impulsive..."
"?" Tang Li looked over innocently, feeling as if the two of them were saying bad things about her.
Impulsive or something, if you say that this is the most impulsive thing she has ever done in her life, then it is too impulsive... Tang Li fell into deep thought and felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.
"... Let's do the dungeon run." Tang Li's expression was so righteous and matter-of-fact. Most people wouldn't react like that after hearing what they just said. So, they really didn't hear it, right? The two of them looked away, silently changing the subject.
"Okay." Tang Li blinked, not in the mood to ask questions.
After two more rounds of dungeons, the other four people had more or less obtained one or two parts of the Greedy Suit, but Tang Li was the only one who hadn't even seen the shadow of a suit.
She felt discriminated against.
In fact, Li Zi and his friends had never encountered such a low drop rate when they had played dungeons in other games before, but now they felt that they had begun to get used to it and did not take the drops seriously at all.
Tang Li herself, on the other hand, cared a lot about it.
This kind of concern is different from the previous worry about dragging others down. It is completely out of strong dissatisfaction with one's own bad luck. Even the worst loser has the right to freely express his or her own opinions.
——————The above thoughts come from a lady who has no choice but to act unreasonably because she cannot change her fate.
"It must be in the difficult copy." Seeing that black air began to emerge from Tang Li's body, everyone carefully comforted her.
"What if the difficult copy still can't be cleared?" Tang Li squatted on the ground and sniffed.
"That's impossible. The guaranteed drops should all be there..." Thinking of Tang Li's luck, Li Zi's voice became lower and lower, and his tone became weaker and weaker. "...If that doesn't work, there's still Hell Mode?"
"What if Hell Mode can't be reached?"
"Then buy it. Someone's bound to be selling it when the time comes." For example, if they really beat Hell Mode, many players would probably be able to play normal dungeons. With luck, someone would find a duplicate and sell it, and then they could buy it. "If we can complete both Hard and Hell Modes first, whether it's a system reward or the money from selling guides, it's no problem to get a set of the Witch's Greedy Set!"
This plan is indeed reliable, but it makes Tang Li more difficult.
"Boo, boo, boo!" He buried his head in his hands with a mask of pain on his face. Just thinking about such a future made him feel so dark and hopeless.
"Hahaha, don't be sad. People must learn to let go of themselves and face themselves..." Seeing Tang Li's hopeless look on her face, several people spoke in a light tone and comforted her in a very half-hearted manner.
Compared to the estranged Xiaoli who was worried about bringing trouble to them at the beginning, the Xiaoli who was complaining and spitting black mud is indeed more adorable.
The group chatted and laughed, and after a brief rest, they prepared to enter the difficult mode.
The Goblin Nest in Hard Mode is indeed much more difficult than the Easy Mode. Not only are the number of patrolling goblins at the beginning twice as many as in Easy Mode, but their strength has also changed from small monsters to elite monsters.
After a brief understanding of the situation, everyone felt that although it was indeed difficult, it did not exceed expectations by much.
After having a clear idea in mind, everyone retreated and agreed to come back tomorrow to open up the wasteland when they had more time.
At their current level, it is no longer cost-effective to spawn monsters in the current mainstream monster spawning areas. They also have no idea how to go to the wild to open up new areas, so everyone decided to go back to the camp together.
After arriving at the camp, Tang Li and Li Zi went to close the stall together.
Steamed buns and flower rolls are still popular. Looking at the empty stalls, Tang Li felt that the self-confidence that was shattered during the monster-fighting process had returned.
Although her luck is not very good, players still like her!
Look at how good the players' vision is. They can choose her firmly without fear of bad luck. The game's drop system should reflect on itself. Why can't it break through the system restrictions and drop equipment for her?
Tang Li, who was daydreaming, silently read today's player messages, and happily followed her daily routine to go to the grocery store to buy seeds, and then went to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials for making red and blue potions. In one go, she used up all the money that Ju Lizi had given her yesterday.
For example, Tang Li had been reminded to save money for the opening of the Goblin Auction House, and she had not forgotten. However, since she had made so much money today, it seemed like it would be a good idea to use some of it to buy materials for upgrading the house.
After all, upgrading the house can not only increase the maturity time of crops, but also upgrade it into a shop, so it's no wonder that she is so active.
"Wait," someone who had witnessed Tang Li's shopping stopped her for an example. Medicinal herbs were fine, but some players, for reputation or to avoid hassle, would sell crops in shipping boxes at a lower price. Therefore, medicinal herbs in the system store were generally cheaper than those sold by players. But the question was, "Why buy so many wheat seeds? Have you run out of your own?"
Even if you use it up, there is no need to stockpile so much at once. There are only a few plots of land. Can you plant all of it?
"I haven't used them all, I'm just hoarding them." Several bronze treasure chests at home that are used to store seeds are full.
"Hoarding? The price of wheat seeds is so stable, why would you want to hoard them?" Even Li Zi was puzzled. "I know what you mean," Tang Li said, looking at Li Zi, who was about to say something, with a helpless look on her face. "Do you believe me if I say I'm just used to hoarding?"
As the server is open for longer and longer, the prices in the game are depreciating faster and faster. In other words, money is becoming less and less valuable.
The price of wheat seeds hardly changes. Instead of hoarding them, you might as well exchange your money for other things that are more valuable, such as rare skill books.
But as a life player who loves farming and management, her interests are all focused on farming and cooking. Even though she is not completely ignorant of some situations in the game and theoretically knows how to maximize profits, she still does what she wants to do according to her own wishes and does not think too much about gains and losses.
This is related to her long life in the past, and is also closely related to her equally long life in the future if nothing unexpected happens.
Can you maintain the same passion after completing a game? Farming and opening a shop are Tang Li's few remaining hobbies, so subconsciously she hopes that this hobby can last longer, otherwise she really doesn't know how to endure the long and boring life.
In fact, this is also related to the fact that the cost of survival in the game is too low. Theoretically, even if Tang Li continues to act badly, her business will not go bankrupt, and she herself will not starve to death in the game.
If the stall went bankrupt, she would be unable to afford food, so she promised that she would be more frugal than anyone else at this moment.
To put it bluntly, it just hasn't come to that point.
The Tang Li they knew had always been gentle. Whether she was interacting with them, facing other players, or even the NPCs in the game, her eyes were always filled with curiosity and closeness. Even the breeze blowing in her face could receive her sincere admiration. After getting to know her, her occasional little temper made people laugh. This was the first time that everyone discovered her nonchalant side beneath her gentle appearance.
But this feeling was very slight. Apart from someone who frowned slightly as if he had noticed something, no one else took it seriously. After all, no one can be sunny and cheerful forever. They all have their own dark corners in their hearts. This is human nature. Even if someone didn't express themselves clearly, they would think they were making a fuss out of nothing.
"It's okay now that you're used to hoarding. I didn't expect you, Xiaoli, to be so lazy," Li Zi looked at her with a knowing look. "Isn't it possible that you haven't even read the detailed sales distribution list I sent you?"
"I saw it." Tang Li felt that she was being slandered. She was not so lazy.
"What Chestnut asked is, have you read the content?" The person speaking is giving an example.
"Hmm." At that time, she was just sighing that giving an example was careful and reliable.
Since the other party was so careful and reliable, why should she go to the trouble of checking carefully? Tang Li blinked her eyes foolishly.
"I guess you didn't read the content." For example, it's not surprising.
For example, when the money was transferred in advance and the other party had no questions, they felt that Tang Li trusted them too much.
The four of them were teammates before, and she was a new member. Didn't she suspect at all that the four of them would team up to deceive her and make her suffer?
No matter if I trust them too much, or if I have some thoughts in my mind but hold them back for the time being, after spending these few days together, both I and they feel that the other is a very good teammate. I have always been accustomed to looking three steps ahead. Opaque accounts can easily cause some unnecessary conflicts. Even if the conflict may not happen, as long as there is this possibility, I want to eliminate it in advance. This is not estrangement, but cherishment for recognized friends.
So yesterday he sent Tang Li a summary of all the previous details to ensure that every piece of equipment and every sum of money could be traced.
In addition, for example, a sum of money for purchasing medicinal materials was added to Tang Li's dividends. Although they didn't know how long it would take for Tang Li to fulfill her promise of providing all the red and blue medicines, since Tang Li said so, they believed that she would put it into action, so they would at least provide the medicinal materials for practice.
When adding this money, for example, he also rehearsed in advance how he would persuade the other party to accept it after Tang Li refused.
For example, "Life players need the support of a team, and it is not feasible to fight alone", "Li Zi provides everyone with the same treatment for sewing products", "We only gave the money to buy medicinal materials and did not pay for the labor", etc.
From Tang Li's reply yesterday, it was clear that she had not read the details carefully, but for example, they did not intend to remind her. Anyway, he would continue to send the details, and Tang Li would be able to see it when she wanted to. As for the fact that she did not notice the extra funds, they did not intend to tell her.
Originally, they were planning to support them silently for a while, but they didn't expect that Tang Li would give them the potion early the next morning.
In other words, they got a return on their investment.
Counting the events since they'd met, every time they'd clearly intended to help each other, they'd end up getting multiplied in return, their gains far outweighing their efforts. Sometimes, they'd feel a psychological burden, right? By comparison, the reduced drop rate after teaming up wasn't a problem at all.
How can you not want to treat a teammate like this better?
"Xiaoli, and Li Zi... and us, be friends for life."
