Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Preparation
The players in Silver Town were in a frenzy of excitement. Meanwhile, the players in the forum were also going crazy with envy.
For players who want to play for strength, the various new activities and buffs are simply irresistible. For players who just want to play the game, the various interesting activities are too attractive.
[Horn][Blue Sea and Clear Sky] Blue Sea Without Hate: This activity should be available for every novice camp to upgrade. Come on, our Sea Breeze Camp!
"It's Bi Hai Wu Hen again. She's so high-profile!" Tang Li heard a nearby player sigh.
Ever since the tip-off post mentioned that using loudspeakers could potentially increase invisible reputation, the world channel started to get lively. However, with the example of Bi Hai Wu Hen, the publicity from others seemed relatively less eye-catching.
Because of this initial impression, everyone paid more attention to Bi Hai Wu Hen. As soon as she blew the horn, everyone instinctively paid attention to her.
"It's not a bad thing to be high-profile. Judging from their enthusiasm, I have a feeling that their camp upgrade is not far away." Another player retorted.
"Indeed, they are bold and daring. With such a leader, both Blue Sea and Clear Sky and Sea Breeze Camp should be good." Li Zi listened from the side and shared the same view with his friends.
Tang Li and the others were about to agree when a system announcement appeared in their field of vision.
System: [Congratulations to the adventurers Xizhou Qu, Jun Chou, and Feng Chui Wushu... for clearing the Canyon Cave Xue hard mode dungeon...]
[Trumpet][Blowing Dreams to Xizhou] Xizhou Song: Come on, brothers from our Riverside Camp!
"They've also cleared Hard Mode," Ju Lizi was stunned. "They're just a little behind us."
Although the dungeons in each Novice Village are different, they are all Novice dungeons and the difficulty is basically similar, so the top three in each mode will be announced together.
However, only the top three teams can obtain the reputation of their respective countries and the reputation of the Novice Village.
"If I remember correctly, they were also the second ones to complete the normal mode." He Biduoyan was not sure, so he asked everyone for confirmation.
Every time Tang Li finished a dungeon, she was busy going home to cook and make medicine. She never paid attention to these things. Hearing this, she felt guilty like a student being called by the teacher, and lowered her head silently.
"I think the second place in normal mode was Bi Hai Qing Kong, and Chui Meng Dao Xi Zhou was third." Li Zi answered first.
They both looked at each other and couldn't express their feelings.
"It's the blue sea and clear sky." The words failed to express the meaning, confirming Li Zi's answer.
"Then Xizhou won this time," Hebi Duoyan smiled, "isn't this a slap in the face of Bi Hai Qing Kong?"
[Horn][Dusk Stealth] Man in Gray: Facts have proven that nice words are useless. What matters most at critical moments is what you do.
Following this loudspeaker, there was an announcement about completing the difficult mode of the Newborn dungeon in Dusk Stealth.
Well, not only did Bi Hai Qing Kong lose the second place, but he also lost the third place. Combined with Bi Hai Wu Hen’s initial cheering, this wave of ridicule was simply the maximum.
[Loudspeaker] The melon-eating man: Fight, fight!
"This melon eater is so rich, he actually eats melons with a loudspeaker." The players in Baiyin Town were like wild rats in a melon field. Perhaps because it didn't concern them, they were even happier eating melons. "He's truly a role model for us melon eaters!"
Of course, the most awesome one has to be the person who was eating melons right next to the player. He has been severely scolded by the players of Blue Sea and Clear Sky in the forum.
But it's not a big problem, because the players who dreamed of Xizhou and Higurashi are his solid backing.
"Life has gotten better for us in the Magic Continent. We have these delicious melons every day. This is the life we should have as people who enjoy entertainment!"
Tang Li nodded after hearing what the player next to her said. This kind of dramatic scene was often seen in the games she played before. Because it was so common, she always felt that this was a complete gaming life.
In a sense, this can be considered a kind of perfection.
Shaking off the inexplicable thoughts in her head, Tang Li thought about the many things she still had to do when she got home, so she asked her friends, "The celebration starts tomorrow, and I plan to go back and make some preparations. What about you guys?"
"There seem to be quite a lot of activities and tasks at the celebration. We plan to take a look around and see if there's anything that interests us."
"In that case, I'll go back first." Tang Li waved goodbye to them.
"Well, you go back and get busy first." Li Zi and the others nodded.
The upgraded town was completely different from the original one. Tang Li walked around the map for a long time before finding her home.
As the saying goes, the town upgrade does not affect the players' houses, so Tang Li's cottage still looks like the original two-story stone cottage from a distance.
In the original Novice Village, such a house would have been luxurious enough, but because the town has been upgraded and many public buildings have been seen, the current house seems a little underwhelming.
The most important thing is that everyone in the original camp just found a place to camp randomly without any planning at all. The camp leader basically didn't care about them except for the market, so Tang Li was able to choose such a secluded place.
After the town was upgraded, the residential area was replanned. Tang Li's house was placed together with other houses of similar levels, forming a neat and beautiful street.
To be fair, such a street full of Western fantasy elf style is still very beautiful, and in addition to players, there are many NPC residents on the entire street.
Because the NPC residents all have their own lives, living together with these indigenous people always makes you feel more integrated into the game. It is a very novel experience. Many details of "Magic Continent" are really always surprising, and it is no wonder that it is becoming more and more popular.
"Forget it. I was planning to open a store anyway, so it would be nice if it's a little lively." Tang Li thought about it. She chose a secluded place at first because she hadn't been with people for a long time, but now she has fixed teammates and has a sense of belonging to both the players and the game itself. So it doesn't seem to be a big problem whether the place of residence is secluded or lively.
I gently pushed open the gate and went home, and my younger brother, who had been waiting for a long time, came jumping to greet me.
Tang Li closed the door and released the Xirang, then took out the pork that she had specially purchased from the player before returning and handed a piece to her younger brother.
"Ji!" Xirang jumped up, knocked his younger brother away, and ate the piece of meat himself.
"Hey, Xirang, what are you doing? I have plenty of meat slices here, so you can't take them away from me." Tang Li took out another piece and handed it to the younger brother.
Since she had promised to release a new product tomorrow, Tang Li would certainly not forget to prepare it in advance. She bought this pork to make meat buns.
Because the reserves are so large, there is no need to fight for the Xirang.
"I gave it to my younger brother first because he works hard at home. Don't do this again next time, okay?"
"Chi~" Xirang lowered his head dejectedly.
Tang Li deliberately ignored it and once again pushed the piece of meat in her hand towards the little brother who looked a little scared: "Be good, little brother, eat it."
"Ji." The younger brother called out weakly. Seeing that Xirang didn't react, he mustered up the courage to eat the piece of meat in Tang Li's hand.
I always feel that after one day of not seeing him, the boss's aura becomes stronger, and the slime hates him more.
After eating the meat slices, the little brother couldn't bear it and fled into the planting space.
Considering that his younger brother, a slime and a yellow-named monster, might not be able to plant much, Tang Li also entered the planting space, intending to plant some more while there was still time.
Xirang had the same idea. Before Tang Li took a step, it followed its younger brother into the planting space.
When Tang Li entered, it had already occupied a piece of land by itself and started working diligently.
Looking at such Xirang, Tang Li could no longer be angry at it for stealing her little brother's piece of meat.
In fact, it was impossible for her to be really angry with these little guys. She was just worried that if she let them go too much, it would have a bad influence on them. Because of the curse that came with the upgrade, the relationship between Xirang and her younger brother was already very bad, but this bad relationship was mainly due to the curse, and she didn't want to exacerbate the conflict.
"Good boy." Patting Xirang soothingly and looking at its eyes that had brightened up again, Tang Li couldn't help but sigh, "Your level has reached its limit today and I haven't upgraded you yet. I want to ask you again, do you want to continue upgrading?"
"Ji!" Xirang was as firm as at the beginning.
"Okay, as you wish." Tang Li reached out and hugged Xirang. When she let go of her hands, Xirang had become a level 2 slime.
Apart from the fact that the enemy skill miss range of the skill [Curse] has been upgraded from 1 meter to 1.5 meters, there is no other difference between the level 2 Xirang and the level 1 one.
This curse skill is a good skill, but the monsters that Tang Li and the others are facing are all of high level, and she doesn't dare to let Xirang go up to die. Maybe one day when she has time, she can take Xirang to fight monsters, or wait until its attack range is wider?
After seeing off the energetic Xirang, Tang Li went to the warehouse first. Before taking the seeds, she took a look at the inventory of mature wheat.
"It's actually a lot more than I thought." Tang Li was a little surprised. It seemed that the younger brother hadn't had much rest throughout the day.
Looking at Xirang who helps with the work as soon as he gets home, and then thinking about his younger brother who works hard at home, how could she not feel soft-hearted towards these little guys...
After loading all the mature wheat into the stall that could store it indefinitely and freeing up the warehouse inventory, Tang Li did not waste any more time and soon started farming with the two little guys.
Considering that the celebration in the next three days will focus on cooking, Tang Li only plans to plant the amount of potion materials needed by their team in these few days, and use the rest of the land to grow cooking materials.
The first thing is definitely wheat. Most of the food on Tang Li’s stall and the food that may appear in the future will require flour.
After several rounds of house upgrades, the wheat ripening time has been shortened to six minutes. Excluding part of the land used to plant medicinal materials, the remaining land has been divided into three parts and planted by Tang Li, Xirang, and his younger brother Huang Ming.
If you plant such a large piece of land from scratch, by the time you finish planting the last piece of land, the crops planted at the beginning will have matured. This speed of maturity is certainly gratifying, but it is also really tiring.
Tang Li desperately used her meditation skills to replenish her consumed physical strength. She also ate several times in the process to replenish her consumed physical strength. She was so tired that she almost collapsed before she finished planting two rounds of the one-third of the land allocated to her.
Although Xirang and his younger brother are not as fast as her, the energy consumption can be imagined.
"Thank you for your hard work. Take a rest first." Tang Li stopped the two little guys who wanted to continue working and forced them to sit on her left and right to rest.
As for the yellow-named monster, once it has no younger brothers to spur it on, it will jump around and be lazy, and even steal wheat. Tang Li didn't plan to take care of it.
After resting for a while, Tang Li planted two rounds of wheat in one go. Thinking that the quantity was enough for the time being, she took out some other seeds and began to improve them using her supernatural powers.
Taking into account that players need to fight monsters and complete tasks during the day, the food stalls for the celebration will be opened every night after dark, and the "King of Flower Rolls" activities will also be incorporated into the celebration activities during these three days.
Tang Li’s stall mainly sells four kinds of food, among which delicious flower rolls and delicious steamed buns will be supplied as much as possible, and the new delicious meat buns will also be prepared in larger quantities because of sufficient raw materials.
There are only cherry thick muffins because there is only one cherry tree, so in addition to a small amount of cherry flavor, there may be added peaches and other fruits that are available in the yard during these three days. But even so, the total number of thick muffins will definitely not be large.
This was Tang Li's original plan, but after hearing what the mayor said when he gave her the task, Tang Li felt that she could try harder.
Logically speaking, the most attractive stalls at a food event would definitely be barbecue stalls, but barbecue is mainly based on meat, so Tang Li would have no advantage. Of course, she would not learn martial arts at her own expense.
Therefore, Tang Li still plans to use flour as the main ingredient and make more new flavors of noodles that are easy to take based on the two different tastes of salty and sweet.
The salty ones are still mainly steamed buns and steamed buns, with octopus balls added. As for sweets, Tang Li plans to make some exquisitely shaped pastries.
The stall provided by the mission has 100 grids, so she can do whatever she wants.
She had bought all the necessary materials on the way back. After growing a batch of raw materials, Tang Li began her enthusiastic attempts.
In fact, whether to sleep or not no longer had any influence on Tang Li. She used to go to bed on time every day because she had nothing else to do except sleeping. This time, because the task was too heavy, she simply gave up sleeping and spent the whole night busy preparing for the celebration the next night.
Late at night, Tang Li received a message from Li Zi.
[Chestnut]: Still up so late? Send me your address and I'll come find you tomorrow!
[Lucky Star]: OK, aren’t you up so late too?
Tang Li sent the address and found that in addition to Li Zi's message, there were several unread messages, including Li Zi's bill details and transaction information, as well as several foodies' order requests for tomorrow. Tang Li replied to them one by one, and even sent some orders directly while she had stock.
It’s so convenient to have few friends. I replied to all the messages in a short while.
But it was already very late, and the foodies had all gone offline. For example, they replied to her.
[Li Zi]: It’s almost time to go to bed, you should also log off and have a rest early.
[Lucky Star]: Yeah, good night.
Of course Tang Li would not log off. She didn't even plan to rest tonight.
When she finished her work again, the avatars of Li Zi and Ju Ge Li Zi were gray, and the friend list was full... No, it's hard to explain why they were online tonight?
Are you always online or do you suddenly come online for something?
Forget it, why be so curious? Tang Li stared at the other person's profile picture for a long time, but in the end she didn't send the message.
The dead of night is a good time to work alone. Tang Li felt full of strength. Not only did she go to the warehouse to get the wheat planted behind Xirang, but after making a huge amount of pastries, she also took the time to make three days' worth of red and blue potions.
This was her first time making potions using herbs transformed by supernatural powers, and because she had changed to a new crucible, the process was a little bit bumpy.
Fortunately, she quickly found the familiar feel and finished making all the remaining materials without any trouble.
Because the medicinal materials had been modified using supernatural powers, the newly made red and blue potions also had debuffs as expected.
The debuff brought by the red potion is [Bloodthirst]. After using it, the attack power will increase but the agility will be reduced to the lowest. If you are not careful, you can easily be killed.
The debuff of the blue medicine is [Drain], which has the effect of absorbing the enemy's magic power to increase one's own blue bar. Depending on the amount of magic power absorbed, the user will lose corresponding blood volume.
Although there are still inevitable side effects, strictly speaking, these two debuffs are not too bad, and if used well, they can even be said to be good additional skills.
"Cool!" Tang Li put the potion into her backpack with satisfaction. She had originally planned to use ordinary herbs to make the potion if the side effects were too obvious.
After making the potion, it was almost dawn. There was still some time before meeting up with Li Zi and the others. Tang Li went to the planting space and forced Xirang and his younger brother to rest, while she continued planting.
When a large number of players came online and the game became lively again, Tang Li came out of the planting space with a steamed bun in her mouth and stretched lazily.
Tang Li and Li Zi had made an appointment last night to go to the flying competition together in the morning, and then do other tasks after getting all the skill books. Because there are many people who have signed up for the flying competition, they must go out early to avoid crowding. Tang Li hurriedly packed up and went out.
When opening the gate, Tang Li was still thinking that after the residential area was replanned, she didn't know whether Li Zi and the others could find her house. After all, she had been looking for it for a long time yesterday.
If you really can't find it, just go to the event site to gather.
She had a lot on her mind, but when she opened the gate, she saw Ci Buduyi walking out of the house next door with his long legs.
"Um?"
"Hahaha, you didn't expect that!" Li Zi's voice came from another direction. Tang Li turned her head and saw Li Zi waving at her from the other side of her yard.
Next to Chestnut's house, as expected, it's a chestnut.
As for why there was no need to say more, Tang Li felt that she didn't need to ask any more questions when she saw the Bull Warrior walking out of the house next to Cibuduoyi.
It's such a coincidence that there are such things in the world. Not only do they live on the same street, but they are also neighbors.
"You actually live next to me, then why didn't you tell me last night?" Tang Li's mouth twitched. Faced with such a coincidence, she really didn't know what to say.
"Hahaha, we were also surprised when we saw the address you sent last night." Too many surprises are inevitable. In reality, there is no such coincidence. It's true that they happened to live on the same street, but becoming neighbors was entirely the result of krypton gold. Of course, Li Zi didn't intend to say it out loud to add to Tang Li's psychological burden. Instead, she retorted with a smile, "And it's obvious that you don't care about us, Xiaoli. It's okay that you never asked where we live before, but if you had asked us where we live last night, you would have known we were next door."
She couldn't respond to this. During their interactions, these people were indeed more accommodating to her.
Tang Li quickly took out a lotus cake and asked Li Zi, "Do you want to eat it?"
"Eat!" Li Zi answered reflexively, and then took the lotus cake with a look of amazement, "It's so beautiful, just like the real thing, I can't bear to eat it."
"Eat it. This is a new product for the stall tonight. I made a lot. Help me try it to see if it tastes good." Tang Li took out a few cakes of different shapes and handed them to Juegerzi one by one. Why bother with so much talk and words that don't express what you mean.
"In addition to these cakes, there are other new products. Remember to come to my stall in the evening." Seeing that everyone was reluctant to eat the cakes in their hands, Tang Li smiled and said, "The cakes are not only beautiful but also delicious. Why don't you try them?"
"Taste it!" In the end, the foodie nature prevailed over everything.
"Hmm, such a delicate taste, and not too sweet or greasy!"
“It’s so delicious, and my mouth feels so fragrant after eating it!”
“It was just a black feeling.”
"That's a debuff," Tang Li said embarrassedly, "Anyway, if you like it, I have more here."
"By the way," after finishing his pastry and waiting for the debuff to wear off, Cibudiyi suddenly pulled out a half-meter-tall iron lump from his backpack. "This is for you."
"What is this?" Tang Li wondered. Are there robots in Western fantasy games? Could it be an alchemical product?
"I designed it myself, using materials from the game. I modified some parts based on the alchemy techniques in the game to make a farming robot."
"Huh?" Tang Li widened her eyes. She could actually operate a robot in the game by rubbing it with her hands like this?
"Don't worry, we have obtained official permission and it won't be taken back as a plug-in." Seeing that Tang Li didn't respond, he pushed the robot towards her again.
It is actually not difficult to make a robot. The difficulty lies in the fact that the technology side and the magic side are logically completely different. How to gain game recognition requires solving many problems in the integration process.
However, for those who are unable to express themselves clearly, this is also an interesting challenge.
"You can use this yourself. I have Xirang and my little brother." Even though Tang Li didn't know the specific process, she knew that it would take a lot of effort to make such a robot in the game.
Tang Li thought about last night. The person who never goes online at night was online so late last night. Maybe it was for this.
"We have some too," but we haven't done it yet. "Don't you feel bad about your slime? Take it."
