Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Flying Broom
The player who had something in common with Li Zi was the one who had previously bought a set of delicious steamed buns.
Of course, he was very reluctant at first.
The more this player thought about buying the steamed buns, the more he regretted it. He questioned his life all the way back and couldn't understand why he had been so obsessed with spending such a huge amount of money to buy a set of steamed buns with negative effects.
What’s the difference between this and paying for trouble?
"How's it going? Did you buy the buns?" When he came to his senses, he was already back at the monster-hunting area. His teammates held out their hands and said, "Hurry up, I'm almost starving. This game is too realistic."
"I bought it." If he stuck his head out, he would be cut. If he withdrew his head, he would also be cut. Now that things had come to this, he could only face it bravely. He directly took out the two sets of steamed buns he bought and said, "Here!"
"Why did you only buy two sets? Are the life players on strike?" The teammates were a little surprised. From this place, there were still a lot of people looking from a distance. It shouldn't be that serious.
"No, take a look at the attributes first."
"Why is it so weird?" The teammates took the steamed buns in confusion. After taking a closer look, one teammate exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, a steamed bun with an entry!"
"Let me see." When everyone heard that they could actually buy culinary products with entries at this time, they changed their original disinterest and immediately gathered around.
However, when they saw the entry, the light in everyone's eyes quickly went out.
"Debuff? We're still in the early stages of development. Are you complaining that we're not fast enough?" the teammates accused. "Tell me, are you an undercover agent from another guild?"
"It's unfair, sir. I never had such intention!" The player felt bitter inside. Who knows what he was thinking at that time.
"So you bought the discounted buns?" The captain also thought the debuffed buns were a bit outrageous, but he still consoled her. "The gold drop rate isn't high in the early stages, but we're not that short on cash. There's no need to be too frugal."
"I didn't save any money." The player shook his head. Could he say that not only was there no discount, but he also paid more than the regular steamed buns? If that weren't the case, he wouldn't feel so guilty.
"This set of buns cost 50 coppers!" The player closed his eyes in despair, quickly stuffed the buns into the captain's mouth, and then shoved them into the mouths of his teammates. "Anyway, you guys try them first."
"Damn, you're really crazy!" The captain's eyes widened in shock when he heard the price of the steamed buns, but the steamed buns were already in his mouth, and it would affect his performance if he didn't swallow them, so he began to chew hard, as if he was not chewing the steamed buns, but his unlucky teammate.
As he chewed, the captain's expression became more and more serious.
"Captain?" The player thought the captain might be mad. Looking at the other teammates, everyone had strange expressions, and he felt even more uneasy. "Just give me a straight answer! If it doesn't work out, just deduct my money and consider it my personal investment to buy it for everyone to try."
All the work today was in vain. Who made him lose his mind?
The captain finished his bun in a few bites and patted the player's shoulder seriously. "But then again, it's not unreasonable to go crazy over a bun like this."
"Huh?" The player opened his eyes carefully. He almost thought the captain was going to beat him up, but he didn't expect to hear such a sentence.
The key point was that the other teammates not only did not refute, but nodded in agreement.
Could it be that this steamed bun not only reduces magic resistance, but also makes people crazy about gains and losses?
"Where did you buy these steamed buns? Hurry up and buy a few more sets, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to buy them soon." After asking for consent from other players, the captain took out all their gains of the day and handed them to him solemnly.
"Yeah, yeah, hurry up." The teammates also urged him. One teammate who usually didn't like to move even said, "Or you can tell me which stall it is and I'll go there."
"What?" It was really weird. The player felt that he could not keep up with the pace of his teammates.
"Try one yourself and you'll know." The teammates felt that there was no more authoritative explanation than this.
The player picked up the steamed bun with half belief and half doubt, and for a moment he even thought that everyone was playing a prank on him, but after tasting the steamed bun, he understood everything.
"I'll go back and buy it now!" Before this, he had no idea that the [Delicious] in the entry would actually taste like this. It was all because the debuff was too confusing. The player took the copper coin from the captain and ran back quickly.
If he can't eat delicious steamed buns in the future, his life will lose its meaning.
"Boss, give me four more sets of delicious steamed buns!" The player found Tang Li's stall with ease and handed over all the copper coins. This was their team's income for most of the day. But the meaning of the game is not only to kill monsters and level up, enjoying life is also a very important component, isn't it?
Unfortunately, he received bad news.
"What, sold out? Didn't they just say they couldn't sell one?" The player was horrified. He blurted out this sentence and saw Li Zi's face darken. He immediately realized that his words were inappropriate and seemed to be disgusted. So he hurriedly apologized to Tang Li, "No, boss, I mean... why are they sold out?"
"Of course it's because I bought them all." Li Zi put her hands on her hips proudly.
The player turned his gaze towards Li Zi and said pitifully, "Then could you give me three groups? No... two? If that doesn't work, one will do."
"No." Li Zi shook his head without even thinking.
"Please, my life will be meaningless if I can't eat delicious steamed buns!"
"If you bought it, would you be willing to share it with me?" Li Zi said bluntly.
“…”Okay, he doesn’t want to, and the player is speechless.
So why is there so little stock? The two turned their gaze to Tang Li.
The gaze was too intense for Tang Li to bear, so she could only reply, "I'll make another batch tonight."
"I want to reserve tomorrow's, I can pay first." As long as you have tasted the delicious steamed buns, there is no problem selling them. Players are worried that they won't be able to buy them tomorrow, so they plan to reserve them in advance.
"Okay." Tang Li wanted to save money to buy a flying broom. Having a means of transportation could save a lot of time, but with her current efficiency, it would be difficult for her to save enough money to buy a flying broom today. The player's suggestion solved her urgent problem, and it was difficult for her to refuse this deal.
Players can sign an agreement through the system to trade, stating the situation clearly, without having to worry about either party defaulting on their debts.
"I want to pre-order too!" Li Zi also felt that the stock of several sets was too small. Seeing Tang Li agreed to the others, he immediately picked up a space backpack from his stall and said, "I can exchange it with equipment. The market price of this backpack is 5 silver. Just give me delicious steamed buns of the same price. And you don't have to give it all in one day. You can give it gradually tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."
The market price of a five-grid backpack is 5 silver, which is equivalent to 500 copper coins. The key is that most space backpacks on the market can only be dropped by monsters, and few players can do this. Scarcity makes things valuable. Li Zi directly set up an auction, so the actual price is often greater than five silver.
Before seeing Tang Li, Li Zi looked at the backpack several times but didn't ask the price. She guessed that she might not have enough money. She wanted to give one to Tang Li directly, since she made it herself. But she knew that Tang Li would definitely not want it, and the pre-order gave her an excuse.
This way, Tang Li got the backpack, and she didn't have to worry about not being able to buy delicious steamed buns. A win-win situation, right? She was so smart.
Tang Li felt Li Zi's kindness and felt a little warm in her heart.
She wanted to cook steamed buns in batches, but the original backpack space was indeed a little insufficient. She had already agreed to other players' reservations, so there was no reason to refuse Li Zi. Keeping Li Zi's kindness in mind, Tang Li planned to make some other food for Li Zi one day.
System: [You have obtained backpack grid +5, do you want to equip it?]
After clicking confirm, Tang Li packed up her stall and returned to the camp at the earnest urging of the two.
This walk took another twenty minutes.
After a morning of construction, the Silver Camp was no longer as desolate as it had been in the morning. Not only was the camp surrounded by solid stone walls, but there were also several more houses in the camp than before, some for NPCs and some for players, not to mention the bustling comings and goings of players and the bustling stalls. It was completely different from what it was before she left.
Tang Li almost thought she had come to the wrong place.
After entering the camp, Tang Li found that the grocery store seemed to be making a lot of money. Originally, the grocery store was one of the only few buildings in the entire camp, but now it has been upgraded to an exquisite white two-story building.
Looking at this beautiful building, Tang Li finally had a feeling that their lord was an elf. It must be said that the aesthetic taste of elves or game artists is really amazing. This is the correct way to open the elves.
I don’t know when her little tent will be upgraded to this level. Her next goal is a beautiful little house with a yard like this.
Unfortunately, at present, she can only add bricks and tiles to other people's beautiful houses. Walking into the grocery store with a complicated feeling of hatred for the rich, Tang Li spent 2 silver coins to buy a flying broom with a painful heart, and exchanged all the remaining money for wheat seeds. She completely spent all the money she earned from selling steamed buns and players' advance payments, and returned to poverty.
Next she is going to plant a big special one!
[Flying Broom: Speed increased by 40%.]
System: [You have obtained a flying broom, the flying skill (level 0) is activated, and you are fully equipped with a flying broom?]
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Tang Li climbed onto the flying broom awkwardly, her feet off the ground, appearing in the air 20 centimeters above the ground. Except for being a little out of control at the beginning, after becoming proficient, Tang Li decisively rose into the air and breathed the air high above.
These two silver coins were really not wasted. Not only did they speed up by 40%, saving a lot of time on the road, but they also completely freed my feet and greatly improved the gaming experience.
Amid the envious gazes of passing players, Tang Li rode her broom, enjoying the scenery along the way, and happily returned home.
The wheat she had planted before leaving home had matured. Next, she planned to focus on planting and felling. After accumulating a lot of wheat, she would cook it all in the evening.
She just found out when she passed by the camp stall that monsters at night have increased combat power.
So after the harvest, a new batch of wheat seeds were planted. Tang Li rode her broom non-stop to cut trees outside the camp. On the way, she also took the time to use her supernatural powers to improve the wheat seeds she had just bought.
With the help of transportation, Tang Li's efficiency was greatly improved. Before dark, she not only saved enough wood to upgrade the house, but also sold the remaining wood and exchanged it for a lot of seeds.
During the high-intensity progress, Tang Li's planting experience met the upgrade conditions, and the land increased from 6 pieces to 8 pieces.
