Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Slime
The risks and benefits of leaving the camp are not proportional, so after dark, Tang Li adjusted the planting and tree-cutting tasks to planting and cooking.
With two more plots of land to plant together, plus the savings during the day, Tang Li was busy with almost no time. By late at night, she had finally consumed most of the wheat stock and obtained 100 delicious steamed buns, 90 life essences, 9 high-quality wheat seeds, and 2 steamed bun critical hits.
In addition to the more than two pieces of wood and wheat seeds and other miscellaneous things, if it weren't for the backpack grid that Li Zi gave her at noon, Tang Li would have a headache about not having enough space.
Even though the space was barely enough now, too many things piled up would make it look too messy. Tang Li sold most of the wood to the shipping box and received a sum of copper coins.
Just like the planting skills, after cooking so many steamed buns, Tang Li's cooking skills were also upgraded to level 1. Not only did she unlock new cabbage seeds and the [Stir-fried Cabbage] recipe, but her cooking speed was also improved to a certain extent.
[Stir-fried Chinese Cabbage: After eating, your physical strength will be restored by +70.]
This value is the same as the optimized delicious steamed bun, and there is no attribute blessing. It goes without saying which one to choose when putting the two together.
Tangli's current planting and cooking levels are too low to take care of too many things at once.
After optimization, cabbage can only be used to make dishes related to cabbage, but wheat can make not only steamed buns, but also dumplings, flower rolls, noodles, pancakes, etc. Among them, dumplings alone can be derived into dozens of different flavors such as vegetable dumplings, meat dumplings, and three-fresh dumplings.
It is no exaggeration to say that wheat-related dishes can be different 365 days a year. This shows how great the potential of wheat is. The only drawback is probably the low level of wheat, but after its evolution, this only drawback can be compensated. Therefore, Tang Li currently plans to focus on delicious steamed buns.
Next, just work hard.
Looking at the full backpack, Tang Li felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. It was a very fruitful day after a busy day.
"It's already so late."
Feeling the tranquility of the camp at this time, which was different from the noisy daytime, Tang Li took a deep breath of the cool night breeze, and slowly exhaled the fatigue of the day with her breath.
At this time, most of the players had already logged off. There were still enough cooking materials, but Tang Li didn't plan to continue being busy. She simply packed her backpack and turned back to the simple tent to rest.
Tomorrow, I must upgrade the tent tomorrow!
Lying in the cramped tent, feeling the small space around him, Tang Li always felt like he was back to the years when he buried himself in the earth. Before falling into a deep sleep, he secretly vowed to improve the resting environment as soon as possible.
Unlike the daytime [Meditation] skill which was always interrupted, Tang Li, who was used to using her supernatural powers in her sleep, instinctively activated the [Meditation] skill.
The next morning, Tang Li, with all her statuses at full value, felt refreshed.
The first thing Tang Li did after leaving the tent was to harvest and plant wheat. It almost became a conditioned reflex.
After doing all this, Tang Li saw that it was still early, so she took out her flying broom and planned to go out and chop some trees first. After most of the players came online, she would go and trade the delicious steamed buns to Li Zi and the others.
The game had just been launched, and the players were quite active. It was only daybreak, but the woods were already bustling in the morning. Riding on a flying broom, Tang Li found a place with few people and started chopping wood with full energy.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
With the sound of falling trees, more and more trees turned into wood in Tang Li's backpack.
This kind of mechanical movement that allows you to relax your mind is really addictive. If Tang Li hadn't set up a system reminder based on the wheat's maturity time, she might have continued to cut wheat like this.
Tang Li hurried home to harvest and plant wheat. Thanks to the flying broom, she spent much less time on the road than yesterday. The most important thing was that she was not tired. Tang Li couldn't help but sigh again that the flying broom was worth buying.
Tang Li was not the only one in the camp who felt that traveling back and forth was a waste of time. On the way back to the woods to chop trees, Tang Li saw several witch players flying around on brooms.
Other professional players are almost crying with envy, but fortunately there is the universal skill book [Flying].
[Flying] Although players have to fly by themselves, which is not as convenient and labor-saving as a flying broom, many players like the feeling of flying by themselves, so this is not an obstacle at all. If there is a disadvantage, it is that it is expensive.
The camp does not sell the [Flying] skill book. If players want to learn it, they can only rely on monster drops or treasure chests. The highest price of [Flying] on the market is currently one gold coin.
Among a group of players where the average wealth per person is less than five silver coins, one gold coin is a huge sum of money. No wonder everyone is so envious of witch players.
However, each profession has its own advantages. Many professions with high agility attributes may not run much slower than flying brooms, not to mention that flying brooms can only be used in non-combat states. So although players are envious, not many people sincerely protest.
Tang Li, one of the envied players, hurriedly ran twice and chopped a lot of wood. Seeing that it was getting late, she planned to go directly to the place where she had set up her stall yesterday after chopping the wood. Li Zi and his friends would not need so many steamed buns in a day, so she planned to sell the rest to other players to expand her customer base.
It's a pity about the wheat at home, which can only be harvested later. She will try to come back earlier.
Less than two minutes after she put away her axe and flew away, she received a message from Li Zi.
[Chestnut] to [Lucky Star]: Xiaoli, where are you?
[Lucky Star] to [Chestnut]: I'm on my way to the place where I set up my stall yesterday. Are you waiting impatiently? I'll be there soon.
Tang Li thought she was in a hurry to use the steamed buns, and thought that if she had known, she would have set out earlier and not be greedy for the copper coins earned from chopping trees.
She is afraid of causing trouble to others.
[栗子] to [Lucky Star]: No, I'm at the camp. Send me your location and I'll be there right away.
[Lucky Star] to [Chestnut]: Okay.
After sending the location to Li Zi, Tang Li silently rode on the broom and waited in place.
Looking around boredly, she was surprised to find that this monster-killing area was not far from where the new players landed yesterday. While she was waiting, she saw many players with excited faces rushing to the camp in groups.
Of course, there are also many new players coming out of the camp, holding novice weapons and attacking the slimes on the ground. Yes, this is also a monster-killing spot for novices. After all, new players can only bully the poor slimes.
Skills with various light effects were flying all over the sky, and the slimes were also in a mess.
Slime is a magical creature that can be seen everywhere in the magical continent. This kind of magical creature is very easy to feed, and there is basically nothing in the world that they don’t eat. In addition, depending on their properties, their mucus has certain functions. For example, water-attributed slime can purify water, and fire-attributed slime can be used as fuel, etc.
There were people who kept these slimes in captivity, but they also had the characteristic of splitting. Whenever they accumulated enough energy to upgrade, they would split into two level 0 slimes again. One became two, two became four... and so on and on.
Because of this characteristic, slimes have become rampant in the magical continent, and these creatures exist almost everywhere.
Similarly, slimes, which are both weak and numerous, become the most suitable leveling objects for novice players.
Also, because the items dropped by slimes are things they have swallowed but have not had time to digest, and considering the slime's all-encompassing diet, the dropped items that players can get are similar to opening blind boxes, sometimes they are branches, sometimes they are grass seeds, and sometimes they are bark. If you are lucky, you can also get equipment and skill books, which adds a lot of fun to the players.
Tang Li found it interesting and got off the flying broom. She had nothing to do anyway, so she suddenly wanted to try the feeling of killing monsters.
Because he had not learned any attack skills yet, Tang Li found a nearby earth-colored translucent jelly-like slime, tightly grasped the one-handed magic wand that came with the novice, and with a quick look and hand, he was about to hit the slime on the head.
“Chi!”
Perhaps sensing the danger, the earth-colored slime jumped a few steps to the side, trying to stay away from danger.
The slimes nearby also ran away in panic.
Even though Tang Li's skills were not very good, she had fought zombies with her own hands in the early days of the apocalypse. How could she let this little guy get away? She immediately moved and blocked the slime's escape route, blocking its way.
“Chirp!”
The earth-colored slime was running around in a panic, but Tang Li's position was too good, and it seemed inconvenient no matter which direction it ran.
“Chi!!!”
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the earth-colored slime screamed and collapsed to the ground. Its round jelly eyes turned into cartoon-like fried egg tear-shaped eyes, looking sad and helpless.
These little Macron-colored guys are already very cute, and their crying appearance makes people feel even more soft-hearted.
At least Tang Li couldn't swing the staff in her hand no matter what.
If it were a player, he might have been soft-hearted while fighting monsters. After all, when cute things become so abundant, people will not cherish them as much. But Tang Li somehow remembered the first zombie she killed with her own hands.
That was her neighbor's little brother. In that society where naughty kids were everywhere, that child was so well-behaved and sensible that even Tang Li, who was not interested in children, liked him very much.
Thinking of the sad look in the child's eyes when he looked at her for the last time, Tang Li suddenly lost interest and had no desire to fight monsters anymore.
"Forget it, what's the point of bullying the yellow-named monsters? If you want to fight, fight the boss."
"Chi!" The earth-colored slime seemed a little slow to react.
"Hurry up and leave." Tang Li squatted down and poked the slime on the ground, raising his staff threateningly.
The earth-colored slime then believed that Tang Li really intended to let it go, and immediately got up and ran away.
"Little pear!"
Just at this time, Li Zi also came, and Tang Li looked over when she heard the sound.
