"What's going on?" the guys outside asked hurriedly.
The owner of the frantic footsteps spoke in an equally panicked voice: "Captain Wang of the patrol team is in trouble! He was on patrol outside the village when he was suddenly attacked by a pack of Demon Eye Wolves!"
"What! The Demon Eye Wolves? Aren't they only active at night?"
"How is Captain Wang now?"
"He is the highest-ranking and most powerful person in our village. Without him, we will surely be dead in two days."
Yan Yu certainly remembered the Captain Wang they were talking about. She used a C-level dagger to exchange for a storage ring and a camouflage skill book from him, both of which helped her a lot.
Yan Yu's ears twitched and she listened carefully. When she heard the news that Captain Wang was seriously injured, she pushed open the door.
When the guys gathered in the yard saw her come out, they all respectfully called out "Master Yan" to greet her.
Yan Yu nodded and walked over to the handyman who was panting. "You just said that Captain Wang was injured and unconscious, and there was no medication?"
"Yes, Master Yan, you don't know. This morning, seven or eight refugees and bandits suddenly broke into our village, looted the store, and ran away. All the weapons, armor, and red potions in the store are gone!"
These villager NPCs don’t know anything about the infinite survival game and the players, and have always thought that the players are refugees who have come here.
These players, only four or five days into the game, dare to rob NPCs. Their moral standards are truly low. The village is at a critical juncture, and stealing their equipment and medicine is undoubtedly pushing them to their doom.
Doesn’t the NPC’s life mean life?
In Yan Yu's view, these are all living lives.
Don't let her run into these robbers, otherwise, she will never let them go easily.
Since entering the village, Yan Yu had been treated very kindly by the villagers, save for a few idiots. Furthermore, Yan Yu had also obtained a good deal of forging materials from the blacksmith's owner. Technically, these materials were all village resources, so she had been taking advantage of them.
In addition, the three equipment drawings given to her by Boss Qian and Village Chief Wang really helped her a lot.
Yan Yu has always been a person who respects others as much as she respects them. She is determined to help when the village encounters a crisis.
"I have 10 bottles of red medicine here. Please take them to Captain Wang for me." Yan Yu took out 10 small bottles from the storage ring and handed them to the person in front of him, signaling him to hurry to Captain Wang.
She had bought a total of sixty or seventy bottles of small red potions from the store before, and used her talent to improve their quality, increasing the health points from 20 per bottle to 50.
Later, when attacking the wood-eating ant nest, she used more than 20 bottles intermittently. It was not a big deal to use 10 bottles to save Captain Wang's life. After all, she also left herself 30 bottles for emergency.
Although Yan Yu was determined to help the village, her own life still came first.
After sending the errand boy away, Yan Yu ignored the complicated expressions of the crowd, went back to the forging room, and started working without stopping.
She has a tight schedule and needs to give her all more than others.
Yan Yu had hardly any rest for the entire afternoon. After acquiring grade D and E iron ores, he kept forging weapons and putting them into the selling grid.
He also took time out to use up more than half of the 400 pieces of D-grade armor materials in the house. After all, he had promised Boss Qian to hand over 200 pieces of D-grade armor and 2 pieces of C-grade armor in one day, and he couldn't break his promise.
Time flew by as Yan Yu was busy, and before she knew it, it was 8 o'clock in the evening.
During this period, Yan Yu forged a total of 3,550 pieces of equipment, including 300 pieces of armor, 3,000 pieces of daggers, and 250 pieces of eyebrow-tipped knives.
As usual, she put away the B-level armor and B-level eyebrow knife. The remaining daggers and eyebrow knives, as well as some C-level armor, were all put into the sales grid for sale.
Because she sells them as she makes them, the shipment speed is very fast. Often, as soon as she forges a new batch, the previous ones are sold out.
Even so, there are still many players in the chat channel crying and complaining that they can't get it.
That’s right, after all, with billions of players competing in hand speed at the same time, the majority will always be the ones who cannot win.
Taking advantage of the break, Yan Yu exchanged the acquisition slots for equipment blueprints, skill books, A-grade fine iron ore cores, A-grade green soul wood cores and space stones.
The blood-sucking grass required for the A-level Radiant Bracelet blueprint has been purchased, so Yan Yu changed the empty grid into a space stone. If she can buy it, it will be just right to expand the capacity of her storage ring.
5 cubic meters is still too small and not enough.
Perhaps because he forged too many finished products at once today, Yan Yu felt a little dizzy when he walked out of the forge, and his face looked a little pale.
At this time, the entire blacksmith shop was still brightly lit, and everyone was working overtime, all sweating. Especially blacksmith Li, who didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead, swinging his huge hammer so hard that sparks almost flew out.
With Yan Yu's eyesight, she could clearly see that all the muscles in Li the blacksmith's body were trembling slightly, and the blue veins on his forehead were throbbing, which showed that he was almost reaching his limit.
But Blacksmith Li refused to rest. He picked up a bottle of juice to replenish his energy from the side, drank half of it, and continued to rotate the hammer to forge armor.
The countdown to the monster tide is always hanging over our heads, and no one dares to relax.
For some reason, Yan Yu felt a little touched when she saw this scene.
When Qian Chunsheng saw Yan Yu coming out of the forging room, he quickly went over and handed him some juice: "Master Yan, you've been tired all day today, take a break."
He naturally saw that Yan Yu's energy was almost on the verge of overdraft, and he was deeply moved.
I didn’t expect Yan Yu to be willing to fight so hard for their village.
This was a very beautiful misunderstanding, but Yan Yu did not intend to expose it.
Yan Yu took the juice and drank two sips. "By the way, how's the collection of materials for forging the eyebrow-tipped knife and boots going?"
"I've mobilized all the villagers to collect the necessary D-level materials, but we've only managed to get around 100 today."
D-level materials are very difficult to obtain. There is a chance of them dropping by killing monsters above level 10, but most villagers are below level 10, and only patrol members are above level 10.
D-grade iron ore and D-grade heart-eating wood can be collected from the iron mine and the heart-eating wood forest, but there are level 20 big bosses guarding them, and entering will mean death.
Qian Chunsheng explained the matter to Yan Yu in general. Now that he regarded Yan Yu as his own, he would of course talk to her about things happening in and outside the village.
Yan Yu's mind moved: "Where are the iron mine and the Heart-Eating Wood Forest?"
"They're all east of our village. About five miles out is the Heart-Eating Wood Forest, and three miles further east is the Iron Mine. There are quite a few monsters in there."
Qian Chunsheng paused mid-sentence and asked, "Master Yan, why are you asking this?"
"I'm just curious." Yan Yu took a sip of juice guiltily. "Do you think the monster wave that will attack the village the day after tomorrow will mainly be monsters from the Iron Mine and the Heart-Eating Wood Forest? After all, they're too close to here."
Speaking of the monster tide, Qian Chunsheng's face darkened. "I'm not too sure. There are too many monsters outside the village, such as wood-eating ants, demon-eyed wolves, sharp-toothed rats, etc. The key is that these monsters live in groups and are very difficult to deal with."
Seeing that the topic had been successfully diverted, Yan Yu finished his last sip of juice and said, "Give me the materials quickly. I've recovered a lot and will start forging now. I'll try to get all the patrol members equipped with new equipment tomorrow."
In addition to routine patrols every day, the patrol team will also go out of their way to clear out small monsters and look for suddenly appearing beast nests around to work together to clear them out, in order to reduce the pressure of the monster tide.
Due to the increased workload and increased danger, patrol members returned injured every day. Even today, Captain Wang was attacked by a demon-eyed wolf and was seriously injured and unconscious.
If the patrol team had the D-level eyebrow-tipped knife and D-level boots forged by Yan Yu, the safety of the patrol team would be better guaranteed.
The 100 pieces of materials were all placed in Qian Chunsheng's storage ring. Yan Yu asked him to come in and put them down, and handed him the 200 D-level armors and 2 C-level armors that he had sorted out earlier.
She moved the remaining D-level and C-level armor behind other materials, planning to hand them over to Qian Chunsheng another day.
Qian Chunsheng's eyes lit up as he held the C-level armor. He asked someone to move the armor away quickly and leave the space for Yan Yu.
Yan Yu took a quick look at the 100 pieces of materials. Most of them were D-grade iron ore and E-grade leather.
It took her twenty minutes to forge 26 D-grade eyebrow-tipped knives and 2 C-grade eyebrow-tipped knives, as well as 8 pairs of D-grade boots and 1 pair of C-grade boots.
In the end, my luck kicked in and I got a B-level boot!
The remaining materials were scattered and could not be used to forge equipment, so Yan Yu sorted them out separately and put them aside.
[Ordinary boots]
Quality: D-grade
Basic Attributes: Defense +10
Additional attribute: Agility +25
Special effects: None
[Wind Boots]
Quality: C grade
Basic Attributes: Defense +50
Additional attribute: Agility +60
Special effect: 8% chance to dodge enemy normal damage, 3% chance to dodge enemy critical damage
[Speed Boots]
Quality: Grade B
Basic Attributes: Defense +125
Additional attributes: Agility +140 Constitution +50
Special effect: 48% chance to dodge enemy normal damage, 20% chance to dodge enemy critical damage
Without saying a word, Yan Yu put on an invisible cloak, changed into Class B speed boots, climbed out of the window silently, and headed straight east.
With 82 points of agility and an additional 140 points of agility, Yan Yu felt like he was moving at an incredible speed.
Now she has 7 B-level armors and 6 B-level eyebrow-tipped knives, plus wind speed boots. She can attack, defend and dodge, so it is not difficult for her to deal with the level 20 BOSS.
Yan Yu had specifically inquired about it and found out that in the forest outside the Novice Village, the highest level BOSS was only level 20. She had killed a level 20 queen ant before and was not afraid of other BOSSes of the same level.
Besides, she had been stuck in the forge all day, so it was time to stretch her arms and legs.
Free monster information was delivered to her door, and she couldn't miss it.
Monsters from the Heartgnawing Forest and Iron Mine, here I come!
