Yan Yu shook her head, shaking off the anxiety in her head.
She took advantage of the break to organize her storage ring and put the materials that she didn't need at the moment in a corner.
Excluding the items already equipped, there are now 11 pieces of B-level armor, 5 B-level eyebrow-tipped knives, 3 bronze treasure chests, 60 bottles of small red medicine, an A-level blood-sucking grass, and a space stone.
These belong to her.
There is also a corner in the space where dozens of C-level and B-level armors, eyebrow-tipped knives and boots forged in the past two days are piled up. These are prepared to be given to the villagers for emergency use.
She has already obtained a lot of materials from the village and made a lot of money from them. Some things are better taken from the people and used for the people.
But the timing and method of sending it are also very important, and you must never expose yourself in advance.
Otherwise, a little kindness will be met with resentment, and Yan Yu doesn't want to gamble his own safety on human nature in times of crisis.
Yan Yu walked out of the forging room, handed over some of the planned D-level equipment, then found something to eat and drank a glass of juice to replenish his energy.
She had been busy making weapons and had forgotten about dinner. Later, when she felt so hungry and her stomach ached, she remembered the time.
After replenishing food and energy, the system's cold mechanical voice finally sounded:
[Ding, the second wave of monsters is being released... Release successful]
Yan Yu waited for more than ten minutes, but there was still no movement outside No. 1111 of the Novice Village. The villagers were still busy. Only the players who heard the system sound like Yan Yu were curious and asked for news.
Seeing that there was no so-called monster wave outside the village, they breathed a sigh of relief and then went back into the thatched hut.
In the past few days, more than a dozen players have come to the village intermittently.
Most of them seldom go out, as if they are frightened by the monsters outside. Except for picking wild fruits nearby to fill their stomachs, they spend the rest of the time hiding in the relatively safe village and don't even take the initiative to contact NPCs.
Only Li Yuan and the mother and daughter, whom Yan Yu had saved last time, took the initiative to sign up when the village chief came to recruit workers, and followed the NPCs to dig traps.
Xiaoying, who was only twelve years old, was too weak to dig the trench, so she volunteered to run to the bottom of the pit to insert tree thorns without complaining.
Yan Yu nodded with satisfaction, thinking that it was worth it for her to save them.
If they were like the other players who were just waiting to die and still had a glimmer of hope for the game, then she would really be too kind-hearted.
This game is called "Survival", but it is actually a player strangler. Its essence is a "Battle Royale" with no end.
Anyone who has a lucky mentality often dies the fastest.
Yan Yu collected his thoughts and prepared to find a deserted place to turn on invisibility, and then go to the iron mine to kill monsters.
According to Qian Chunsheng, there are two level 20 BOSSes, one male and one female, stationed at the iron mine. Each BOSS can drop a bronze treasure chest, so she can get two tonight.
Together with the three already collected in the storage ring, there are exactly five, and I can activate my talent to fuse and upgrade.
I don’t know what level of treasure chests there will be above bronze, but I guess there will be a lot of valuable things.
Bronze treasure chests usually drop D-grade materials. If you upgrade them, they'll probably drop at least a few C-grade materials, right? Maybe even a skill book or something.
She really needs skill books. So far, she only has three basic skill books, which are not enough.
Among the three skill books, only the elementary teleportation skill can be enhanced by talent. The other elementary detection skills and elementary camouflage skills always prompt [The current skill has reached the level limit and cannot be enhanced].
It really left her speechless.
It would be great if the upgraded treasure chest could drop an intermediate or advanced skill book. She doesn't have to worry about attack power and defense power now. The only thing she lacks is healing skills. Please give her a healing skill book!
Just as Yan Yu was daydreaming, there was suddenly a commotion outside the village. It didn't sound like a monster attack, but more like... someone was deliberately looking for trouble.
Yan Yu's expression became serious, and he quickly came to the source of the commotion. He saw a group of about twenty unfamiliar officers and soldiers forcing Li the blacksmith into a place that looked like a prison van.
The village chief and villagers looked anxious but had to plead in a low voice with bitter faces.
Village Chief Wang: "Officials, please, please don't take Blacksmith Li away."
"Yes, sir, without Blacksmith Li, our village would be finished!"
"What crime did Blacksmith Li commit? How could you arrest him for no reason? We all know his character very well. It's impossible for him to have committed such a crime."
"Yeah, did you catch the wrong person?"
Blacksmith Li's eighty-year-old mother even hugged the lead officer's legs and said, "Sir, our Zhuzi has always been a well-behaved man and has never left the village in all these years. Is there something wrong?"
The chief officer was impatient and kicked the old lady away.
"That's right, he's the one we caught, take him away!"
When Village Chief Wang saw that this group of tall and strong soldiers were about to put Blacksmith Li in the prison van, he quickly handed over some "tribute" with a hint of respect.
He smiled apologetically, "Sir, thank you for taking the trouble to come here, but Blacksmith Li is the only blacksmith in our village right now. The monster wave is coming soon, and we really can't do without him. Please give me some clarity."
I can't rely on my stubborn nephew at all. Blacksmith Li and Yan Yu are the only two hopes of the village, and neither of them can be missing.
The chief officer weighed the silver coin in his hand and glanced at him with lowered eyelids.
"Alright, let me be frank. The county magistrate has issued an order urgently seeking D-rank or higher forgers. Each village must send at least one forge technician to the city to forge equipment for our guards, so we can defend against the remnants of the monster tide that may attack the county."
After hearing the chief officer's words, everyone present turned grim, their anger fading. Yan Yu, who was just watching the show, was even more furious, not knowing where to begin.
The monster tide mainly targeted these villages. Not only did the county not send anyone to help, but they even openly robbed the only blacksmith in the village. They really didn't care about the lives of the villagers at all and forced them into a desperate situation.
Yan Yu shook her head. Although she couldn't stand the behavior of these officers and soldiers, she was not prepared to step forward and cause trouble for herself.
There are less than two days left until the survival mission. Just go out and kill monsters and return to the village to forge equipment.
However, Yan Yu wanted to stay away from trouble, but trouble kept coming to her.
"Wait, who said that our village only has Li the Blacksmith, a D-level forger? Isn't there also Yan Yu there?"
A rough male voice sounded, drawing everyone's attention to Yan Yu who was about to leave.
Yan Yu: “?”
You are sitting at home and disaster strikes from the sky?
Let her see who is crazy and pull her out... emmm, it's okay.
It turns out to be that brainless scoundrel Wang the blacksmith, so it's not surprising.
The moment Blacksmith Wang opened his mouth, the two villagers closest to him quickly covered his mouth. Everyone around him glared at him, obviously very angry that Blacksmith Wang had deliberately dragged Yan Yu into this. Especially Village Chief Wang, he looked as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Didn't I lock you in the room? How did you get out?"
Village Chief Wang first loudly scolded Blacksmith Wang, then hurriedly explained to the chief official: "Sir, please don't listen to his nonsense. My nephew has had a mental problem since he was a child. What he says cannot be taken seriously."
After saying that, he immediately walked up to Wang the blacksmith, grabbed his collar, raised his right hand high, and slapped him on both sides of his face. His dark and rough cheeks instantly became red and swollen, like two big steamed buns, and blood was flowing out of his two nostrils, which showed how much strength the village chief had used.
"Why are you looking for me? I didn't lie. That Yan Yu is indeed, uh uh!"
Seeing that Wang the blacksmith was still not in a clear mind, Village Chief Wang quickly winked at the villagers next to him, and the two villagers covered his mouth again and dragged him away.
Many of the onlookers stood silently in front of Yan Yu, trying to prevent the officers and soldiers from noticing her.
Village Chief Wang forced a smile and said, "Sir, you see, my nephew is indeed mentally ill. Everyone in the village can testify to this."
The villagers nodded collectively, confirming Village Chief Wang's words to the soldiers. They put on their best acting skills, their eyes sincere, each one seeming to say, "Trust me, trust me!"
The chief officer: “…” Even more suspicious.
Originally, he did not take Wang the blacksmith's words seriously. After all, D-level blacksmiths were not cabbages that could be found everywhere. In a small village like the one before him, it would be a great honor for the entire village to have a D-level blacksmith. How could there be a second one?
But the behavior of this group of people was so suspicious that he began to sense something fishy.
"Who among you is Yan Yu?"
