Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Upgrade
"Xiao Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Li Zi apologized while running.
"It's okay, run slower," Tang Li quickly supported the other person, "I just got here too."
"That's good." Li Zi breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to keep Tang Li waiting. It was all her teammates' fault for dawdling. She could have come alone to get the steamed buns, but they were curious about the maker of the delicious steamed buns and wanted to follow her to see.
"How many sets of steamed buns do you want? Can I give them to you now?"
"Is five groups okay? My teammates like it too." Li Zi glared at the players not far from them.
"Five sets?" Tang Li didn't notice Li Zi's little action, but was a little surprised by the quantity Li Zi wanted. She originally thought that there would be some left over, but now Li Zi wanted five sets by himself, it seemed that there was no hope of leaving any.
However, despite being surprised, Tang Li still traded the steamed buns to Li Zi according to the quantity she wanted.
"Thank you, Xiaoli!" Li Zi looked at the fifty steamed buns and happily hugged Tang Li.
"You're welcome." Tang Li was a little uncomfortable with Li Zi's enthusiasm and couldn't help but take a step back.
Of course, she stepped back only because she was not used to close contact with people, not because she disliked Li Zi. In order to prevent Li Zi from misunderstanding, Tang Li stepped back while trying to raise a smile to show her friendliness.
"Wow, Xiaoli, you are so gentle!" Li Zi didn't think too much and was completely immersed in Tang Li's smile.
The smile of a cold and lonely person is the most charming, just like the breeze that ripples the lake water with a slight moisture and the fragrance of grass and trees. It is mysterious and gentle, and can easily stir up a pool of spring water.
Not only was Li Zi dazzled, but several other players who came over were also amazed.
"Wow, Li Zi's friend is so good-looking." The tall bull warrior in armor couldn't help but sigh.
"Indeed, that's why they say my Li Zi has high standards." The druid [For example], who obviously shared a couple's online username with Li Zi, couldn't help but smile and nudged the human mage next to him, "Brother Ci, what do you think?"
[Words fail to express the meaning] No answer.
In fact, he noticed Tang Li earlier than his teammates. The girl with compassion in her eyes squatted down and tapped the slime's head. The scene was so beautiful that it surpassed all the famous paintings he had seen.
"Oh, I wonder if Li Zi introduced us?" He Bi Duo Yan and Ju Ge Li Zi were already used to the silence that failed to express their ideas. The two of them started a heated discussion. "Why don't we ask the young lady if she wants to fight monsters with us? We just happen to be short of an attacker, and even if the young lady's operation skills are not good, her cooking skills are worth absorbing."
Li Zi was also inviting Tang Li at this time: "Would you like to fight monsters with us? We currently have four people in our team, and our attacks are relatively weak. If you join us, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."
It is true that their team is short of people, but it is also true that it is better to have something in abundance than to have nothing in it. However, Li Zi just feels that Tang Li should be a good fit for their team.
"Forget about it. I prefer to be a casual player. Besides, I don't know your teammates, so I'm sorry to bother you." Tang Li liked Li Zi very much, but she was still reluctant to join a completely unfamiliar team. She felt that she would be more comfortable fighting alone.
"Okay," Li Zi gave up after seeing that Tang Li really didn't want to team up with them. "Then I'll leave first and come see you tomorrow."
"Okay." Tang Li nodded, said goodbye to Li Zi, and left on her flying broom.
She didn't go to the monster-killing spot yesterday but went straight back to the camp. On the one hand, she felt a little awkward going in the same direction as Li Zi and the others after just rejecting them, and on the other hand, she felt there was no need to go to the monster-killing spot with fifty steamed buns left.
In fact, players can trade directly with each other through emails, but it requires a handling fee.
For players who don’t have much money in the early stages, face-to-face transactions would be more cost-effective.
However, if the player who ordered the steamed buns from her can eat these fifty steamed buns, she can pay the postage, and the time saved in going back and forth can offset it by going back twice to collect wheat. Overall, it is not a loss.
"Why did the young lady leave?" He Biduoyan looked at Li Zi's receding figure and asked Li Zi who was walking towards him dejectedly.
"She feels that she isn't familiar with the group and it would be awkward to team up with them. She's a slow-moving person." Li Zi shook her head.
"Oh, all right."
"Let's go." He glanced at the direction Tang Li left and told his friends to leave.
"Here we come." The three of them hurriedly followed.
On the other side, Tang Li, who returned to the camp, received a reply from the player who ordered the steamed buns.
She was lucky this time, as the player happened to be still in the camp, and the two agreed to trade directly at the camp entrance.
Tang Li waited at the camp gate for a while before the player hurried over.
"We'll trade the rest here at the same time tomorrow."
"good."
After the two separated, Tang Li rode her flying broom back to harvest the wheat. It had been a while since the wheat was ripe.
When passing by the stall area of the camp, Tang Li, who was in a hurry to go back, suddenly stopped. She saw someone selling stone and iron ore.
These two items plus wood can upgrade the tent.
Tang Li had always thought about learning mining skills after she had money, but now she feels that her idea is narrow-minded.
It would take so much effort to do everything by herself. She has saved some money from cutting down trees now, so why not just buy materials to upgrade the tent?
She asked why some players upgraded their tents yesterday, and was surprised that on the first day of the game, some people were busy upgrading their tents instead of upgrading themselves. It seemed that they were using their money to buy the game.
Tang Li suddenly felt enlightened, as if all her meridians had been opened. After carefully comparing the prices at various stalls, she found a stall with lower prices and directly purchased enough stone and iron ore.
She actually wanted to bargain, but unfortunately most of the stalls were system-hosted. Not to mention her poor bargaining skills, even if she really wanted to, she wouldn't find anyone to bargain with.
In addition to stone and iron ore, as well as skill books and equipment dropped by monsters, some stalls also sell ripe wheat. Many life players shop at these stalls and buy a lot at a time.
Some people are responsible for planting, some are responsible for cooking, and each link is responsible for separately. Perhaps this is the correct way to start a career in life. If Tang Li did not grow wheat seeds that she improved herself, she might also buy finished wheat from these stalls.
It would save us so much trouble not having to grow our own wheat.
Unfortunately, she hadn't found a way to free her hands yet, so Tang Li had no choice but to go home with a backpack full of materials and an empty wallet.
It doesn’t matter if there is no ready-made wheat, at least she can still comfort herself by upgrading her tent.
After putting all the materials into the system, a burst of light spread out from the ground. Under Tang Li's expectant gaze, the sound of tinkling continued to come from the light. When the smoke and dust dissipated, a... larger dome tent appeared in front of her.
"It's not a house... But if it only upgrades to one level, it's not surprising that it's still a tent. At least it has a bedroom and a living room now." After being disappointed, Tang Li quickly got over it.
To upgrade to the next level, she needs 500 pieces of wood, 500 pieces of stone, and 50 pieces of iron ore. With so many materials, she can't upgrade in a short time.
Looking at the pile of materials, she thought the current tent was pretty good and spacious.
After carefully touring the tent, Tang Li finally remembered the wheat that she had not had time to harvest.
"Huh?" After planting a new batch of seeds, Tang Li was a little surprised. "The harvest time has become shorter?"
It originally took ten minutes to harvest a batch of wheat, but after the tent upgrade, it was reduced to a full two minutes!
Don't underestimate these two minutes. If each level of the house takes two minutes less, and she upgrades a few more levels, won't the wheat mature in seconds? As long as she has enough money, won't she have an endless supply of mature wheat?
"I suddenly feel that it is necessary to make another effort to upgrade the tent."
Tang Li's fighting spirit only lasted for a minute and was soon interrupted by reality.
She could still try harder to get the wood, but she couldn't afford the stone and iron ore even if she sold them now.
"Life is not easy." After sighing, Tang Li, who was defeated by life, rode on her flying broom and hurried to chop trees outside the camp.
The time it takes for wheat to mature has shortened, so the time she needs to cut down trees has been compressed even more. If she doesn't move faster, the two minutes she has saved with great difficulty will be wasted.
Tang Li, who was in dire need of wheat, did not want to see this situation.
“So, you still have to work hard.”
Not long after Tang Li left, a little green guy jumped out from the grass near the camp, stopped at the barrier of Tang Li's yard, and carefully attached himself to it.
When Tang Li came back, it jumped back into the grass again.
Tang Li didn't notice anything unusual and left in a hurry after harvesting the wheat.
Seeing this, the little green guy ran out again and stuck to the barrier again.
After a few back and forth movements, it completely melted into the barrier and became a part of it.
The little guy struggled hard in the barrier, and after a lot of effort, he finally crawled into the yard with a plop.
"Chi!" The little guy jumped excitedly, and after a while he slowly came back to his senses. He came to Tang Li's wheat field, carefully avoided the wheat, curled up into a ball and squatted in a piece of wheat field.
