Chapter 464: The Beginning of Minor Heat (2)
[Cai Cai Cai Pear]: "And my pears! A new solar term has arrived, but why does the expiration date seem to have not changed?"
[Xin Jing]: "That thing may last, but it doesn't say that the shelf life is limited to the summer solstice. What if it lasts during the Lesser Heat and Greater Heat?"
[Xin Jing]: "This is reasonable. As the summer gets hotter, the food will rot and spoil faster. If you are unlucky, this problem may continue until the autumn heat is gone."
[Qing Ben Zhi Ruo]: "Wow, doesn't that mean the effect of the preservative can last for more than a month or two?"
The materials used for preservatives cannot be said to be complicated, but they cannot be said to be simple either. Two of the materials need to be synthesized separately by Jing Zhao and Yan Huan.
The process is definitely more complicated than other materials.
There are also benzoin flowers. Last solar term, Shu Lingyi stocked up quite a lot of them with the help of Luo Fengke.
But if the demand remains so great in the future, she must stock up more preservatives in advance.
Because benzoin flowers prefer a humid environment, the number of benzoin flowers will inevitably drop sharply in the upcoming dry season, which is expected to cause severe drought.
This benzoin flower is a special material, and it is one of the few that will not drop seeds no matter how the player collects it. Neither treasure chests nor wooden boxes have ever produced related seeds.
In other words, it all depends on the players to collect them from the wild.
[Silo]: "Benzoin flowers are worth buying in large quantities, especially those near water sources. Please take a look."
Shu Lingyi must collect enough preservatives before the disaster in the next solar term is completely triggered.
[Yun Bai]: "I did pick a lot of them last solar term and stored them, but there was no such thing as rain preservatives in our game area at the time. Although we were not killed by lightning, there were also many players who starved to death because the food was out of the shelf life."
Yun Bai is a player who came here due to the merger of territories. Similar to previous players, he spent most of last night witnessing the prosperity of the territories in this game area.
I can only express that I was greatly shocked.
[Silo]: "That's great. Please send me a private message to discuss the purchase price..."
Luo Fengke was completely immersed in this job, and Shu Lingyi also experienced what it meant to be a super caring secretary.
Any materials she mentioned could be stuffed into her warehouse within two days, and the quantity would always be just the right amount.
Preservatives cannot be produced too far in advance and must be used within a week of production.
Therefore, Shu Lingyi chose to make a batch a week, with a large quantity in each batch, and try to use up all of them within a week.
Temporary production always makes people irritated, and they may forget about it because of being busy or tired.
Once a week is just right.
Yan Huan continued to work on the project of producing propionic acid, and Cai Li's mountain pears were also replanted.
Only after it matures can Jingzhao have new materials to produce sorbic acid.
With the new players joining the server, in Luo Fengke's words, these players have some supplies stockpiled, and what she has to do is to buy everything that Shu Lingyi and others need from these players.
As for price war, she has her own set of tactics to ensure that her own interests are maximized on the basis of the interests of both parties.
The slim breakfast was what Shu Ling had been looking forward to for a long time. At that time, she contributed a lot and her hands were almost numb from grinding the flour.
She has now upgraded the millstones and made them automatic, so she no longer needs Tianzhu and the others to turn them.
These combat-capable pets were selectively released by Shu Lingyi. Wild boars, sika deer, and cattle with better personalities could be rented out by some players to run errands.
The world on the other side of the teleportation stone cannot be teleported to, and pets cannot be brought there.
However, there are also many players who have stone mines nearby, but they don’t have any trusted partners to teleport to.
In the end, he decided to rent a monster to help him move bricks, which made the job much easier.
People like Shu Ling can also make a lot of money from it.
I cleaned up and started eating noodles. If the weather gets very hot, it does affect my appetite.
But the noodles in front of me are so delicious!
As soon as Shu Ling smelled the fragrance, his appetite immediately opened his bloody mouth and started to eat with slurp, without caring about his face at all.
"This noodle is really delicious. After eating it, I felt very full and even a little bloated."
The noodles made her feel fuller than she expected, so she felt bloated after eating them.
You know, after she woke up in the morning, she did some warm-up exercises, and also did some boxing exercises, which reduced her feeling of fullness by 6 points. But after eating this noodles, she still felt full?
A bit strange,
Normally, Yunbao doesn’t eat too much noodles for breakfast, which is just enough to fill his stomach for about 25-30 minutes.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to check your satiety. Normally, your satiety level would drop to around 25 in one night, right?"
"I don't know what's going on. Is yours different from mine?"
Shu Lingyi actually doesn’t quite understand how the feeling of fullness is deducted at night, sometimes it’s more, sometimes it’s less.
"Maybe my stomach was lazy last night and chose to do a bad job, haha."
Shu Ling made a joke about himself and made Yun Bao laugh. Yun Bao herself felt about 30 points full when she woke up in the morning.
After preparing breakfast for so many people, my satiety level dropped by 12 points.
So when she finished her work and started eating her noodles, she didn't have to worry about the trouble of feeling full.
This noodle does not require any side dishes. Just simply cook it, scoop it out, and then add the soup to complete the dish.
This noodle itself has a very rich flavor, with the addition of medicinal herbs and processed crispy chicken, every bite you eat is more than just noodles.
There are countless nutrients, including meat, and finally the noodles themselves.
This is also a small bowl of breakfast noodles, but it can replenish 39 points of fullness, which is comparable to a complete staple meal, and the portion is not small.
"It's not a big deal. I'll just rest for a while. Anyway, the amount that overflowed wasn't that much. I'll just eat this noodle when I'm hungrier next time."
Shu Lingyi walked to his recliner and chose to lie down quietly and rest for a while.
By the way, let’s think about the cooling operation in this territory.
For example, [Zheyue Zhujiu] started selling bamboo fans again, as well as mats, bamboo beds, etc.
Some people are selling palm-leaf fans, but no one has made a fan or something like that, which is a pity.
But it's been four months, and I haven't encountered any electrical appliances yet.
Although some things are designed to look like electrical appliances, and even have more powerful functions than electrical appliances, in the final analysis, they are just evolved with the help of unscientific power in the game.
In general, the things that appeared were not serious electrical appliances.
Of course, you can forget about getting an electric fan. But since I have a wind crystal, it should be no problem to have a fan, right?
Her mind was full of ideas, but unfortunately they could only be temporary.
Just when she was about to take a nap, she suddenly received a private message from someone.
She opened the private message and saw that it was a message from Zhong Qingwei. The first message was: "Take a look at this."
The second one is a sharing link, which contains the detailed content of a drawing.
[Treadmill fan: A fan with three blades, but it requires a small pet to run in it to make it rotate. Due to the size of the treadmill fan, it must be a small pet. ]
[No restrictions on breed, but pets cannot weigh more than 4 kg. ]
【Only for craftsmen to learn and make. 】
"Oh my god, there is actually such a thing?" After seeing this, Shu Lingyi sat up straight from the recliner.
I read the detailed introduction carefully again and confirmed that it was what I had thought of in my mind, and I was immediately happy.
[Yi Ling]: "You want to sell this blueprint to me? But it would be better if you sell it directly to Brother Xiao Lin."
[Yi Ling]: "When he makes it, we can take advantage of your success and get a few fans for free, hahaha."
Zhong Qingwei looked at the message sent by Shu Lingyi. Her happiness was revealed between the lines. The girl's bright and charming smile had already appeared in his mind.
The area behind his ears suddenly turned red, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised as he read the smiling words in his eyes.
[So Redundant]: "Okay, but I may need to trouble you with the small pet. It seems better for the pet to come to you."
Indeed, Shu Lingyi and Jiang Wang controlled 90% of the pets in the territory, but the weight limit was 4 kilograms or less...
[Yi Ling]: "This is also a problem. According to the current size of pets, I'm afraid only rat cubs can maintain this weight."
Shu Lingyi couldn't help but turn his eyes to Amiao. The litter of chinchillas she raised had given birth to another litter. Xue'er also raised two, and the cubs were also very beautiful.
After they grow up, the size of the cubs will gradually exceed four kilograms. For example, the four adult chicks in Amiao's hands, two of which have just grown up, are stuck at around four kilograms.
When she came to the territory last solar term, Shu Lingyi held her for a while out of curiosity.
The two adults seemed to weigh almost 8 kilograms, which was absolutely huge among squirrels. Only monsters could be this big.
"But if we rely on Amiao's chinchilla, there are only five cubs, which is too few."
Shu Lingyi had no choice but to check the news on the public screen. As Yan Huan and Xin Jing synthesized ice cubes on the protective shield, the temperature did drop a lot after the synthesis.
[Yun Bai]: "Have you noticed that the sea water seems to be gone?"
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
On the first day of the new solar term, everyone wanted to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the thunder all over the sky and the whole purple world were scary enough.
The constant rumbling thunder every night has become a lullaby or nightmare for countless people.
With the arrival of Lesser Heat, no matter what will happen next, at least we can relax on the first day.
[Nan Shuqingli]: "It seems so. I remember that in my map, the blue color of the sea areas I visited was originally very deep blue, but now it has turned into a very light blue."
This blue expression mainly symbolizes the area and depth of the water.
The color of streams, rivers and rivers is generally light blue.
Shu Lingyi immediately opened her map and observed that she and Zhong Qingwei and others had explored many sea areas during the last solar term.
But now, except for a part around the river, the rest of the sea area has turned light blue!
[All the trees are in autumn colors]: "Wow, doesn't that mean there is less water? The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so the water resources won't be getting less and less, right?"
[Jin Qing's Little Sweet Wife]: "That makes sense. I should store more water then."
[Jungle]: "If you are hoarding water resources, it is recommended to buy vitamin B to prevent the breeding of insect eggs. This can effectively prevent it."
Shu Lingyi also realized that there was a big problem. Without water, it was impossible to make ice!
How will we live without ice?
Shu Lingyi was a little panicked. It seemed that he had to build a few more ice cellars and make more ice cubes while there was still water.
[Yi Ling]: "Now everyone should stock up as much water as possible. If possible, you can also sell water to the player named Si Luo. She will record it, and you can use the water to exchange for ice cubes."
[Silo]: "Yes, benzoin flowers, and water. It's okay if it's sea water, but because it needs to be processed, the amount of ice you can exchange will be less."
[Yun Bai]: "Then this is not a big problem."
【All Trees Are Autumn Colors】: "But if the water source disappears later, will this ground fissure also return to its original state after the system repairs it?"
【少卿不负卿】: "It should be. Maybe the sea area is a special version of the previous solar term."
[Have you completed the continuous tasks?]: "I understand. The game version is updated, and there are special versions for activities. In fact, each solar term is a special version. It's just that the previous solar term is more interesting."
If you put it into the game and watch it, it is indeed very reasonable.
【Xin Jing】: "Each generation has its own god, and each generation has its own unique god!"
Many veteran players agreed with Xin Jing's words. Shu Lingyi's contribution to the territory and to the entire game area was unmatched.
【十三夷】: "I am in the top three in this ranking, right?"
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "I'm definitely in second place. I think Uncle Jiang should be in the top three. No, no, there's also Boss Zhong."
Zhong Qingwei just peeked at the screen and said nothing.
【Thirteen Barbarians】: "No, tie up that guy Qi Xuanze, and all his will be mine. It should be no problem to squeeze into the top three with a 2 to 1 ratio, hehe."
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "Good fellow, I knew that Qi Xuanze had kidnapped you. No wonder I saw you two going in and out together recently. You must be having an affair!"
[His Highness Nan]: "...You can't blame me for this, right?"
Luo Zhiqing naturally saw that Su Ranran and Qi Xuanze had made substantial progress. Look at Su Ranran's charming appearance at that time, tsk tsk——
This relationship is similar to the feeling of rocketing from primitive society into the cyber age.
Great progress!
Looking at Shu Lingyi again, Luo Zhiqing covered her mouth and laughed secretly behind the public screen: Yi Yi and Lao Zhong are still in the primitive society.
[Zhe Yue Zhu Jiu]: "Sun hat for sale! Rare quality, durable, can effectively resist ultraviolet radiation and sunlight! You deserve it when summer comes."
[Yun Bai]: "I'll buy one, then go out and get some water, stock up some for myself, and then sell some."
【溫酒信南柯】: "I'll buy two too, and a fan, too. Otherwise, the weather is still too hot."
[Qing Ben Zhi Ruo]: "Welcome to purchase ice silk clothes. Wearing clothes made of this material in summer is breathable and sweat-absorbent. It is light and opaque, feels silky and drapes well, and doesn't wrinkle easily."
[Simple but not simple]: "Don't you all need to store water? Ordinary stone jars and wooden barrels can be discarded. Replace them with my porcelain jars, which are both beautiful and have a large capacity."
Suddenly, advertisements appeared everywhere, but everyone adapted very well, and some players even raised their own questions.
[Yue Shengliang who loves sweet-scented osmanthus fish]: "What should I do with my sweet-scented osmanthus tree? It's really hard to take care of it. With such hot weather like this, the crops will die, right?"
Everyone has their own concerns and is worried about the difficulty of life in the future.
They discussed this in the morning and two hours passed. Shu Lingyi finally came across some heart-warming news.
[Shao Qing Bu Fu Qing]: "Does anyone have any cats? And rat poison! There are too many bamboo rats here!"
At the end of the summer solstice, Shen Shaoqing rarely saw bamboo rats coming out to eat his bamboo because of the thunder everywhere.
At that time, many bamboos were damaged by the lightning, and he had no way to stop it.
As a result, when I woke up early this morning, I found that the lightning had stopped and the bamboo rats that had disappeared for many days came out again!
The number is not large, and most of them are mutated bamboo rats of relatively low levels.
【Yiling】: "What's wrong?"
[Jie Ao]: "How much rat poison do you want? Didn't you say that all the bamboo rats were gone?"
[Free and Easy Butterfly]: "The frequency of thunder and lightning during the last solar term would have killed a ghost, let alone a bamboo rat."
[A Miao]: "Indeed, when I crossed the sea, my mice were always scared every time there was a thunderbolt."
[Shao Qing Bu Fu Qing]: "Yes, so these mutant bamboo rats have appeared in this new solar term. Their levels are not high. The ones I saw were all level 2 and 3 mutant bamboo rats. They were small in size, but they ran very fast."
These low-level mutant bamboo rats are timid and will run around and hide when they see him. There are many of them, they run fast, and they are small in size. It is completely clear that "difficult to catch" is engraved in their genes.
It was these guys who ate up more than a dozen of his high-quality bamboos in a matter of minutes.
If this continues, no matter how big his bamboo forest is, it will not be able to withstand this kind of eating!
He was complaining bitterly on the public screen. Zhao Zichen felt that big business was coming again and was happily ready to make rat poison.
Shu Lingyi was naturally happy too. She immediately said to Shen Shaoqing: "Don't kill the mouse. It's my little treasure!"
【Jie Ao】: “???”
【Shao Qing will not let you down】: "??"
There were many players on the public screen with the same question marks on their faces as them. This was the time when the public screen information was exploding, and most of the players would not ignore the messages on the public screen.
It's hard not to be surprised to see such explosive news as Shu Lingyi.
At present, the only person who knows the situation behind this is probably Zhong Qingwei. Compared to everyone who is still waiting to see the news on the public screen, Zhong Qingwei has already started sending private messages [Shao Qing will not let you down].
[So redundant]: "Can you open a teleportation stone over there? I'll go over and catch bamboo rats for you."
【少卿不负卿】: "Oh my god, it's a big shot! But I don't know what's going on with these mutant bamboo rats. Their speed is far beyond that of level 2 and 3 monsters."
【少卿不负卿】: "Before, I was not afraid of level 2 and 3 monsters. I could easily deal with them even if there were many of them. But now they are too fast and I can't catch them."
He hoped that the rat poison provided by Jie Ao was poisonous enough to kill all the mutant bamboo rats.
[So Redundant]: "Don't panic, I'll help."
Shen Shaoqing had seen Zhong Qingwei's fighting ability, and since the big guy had spoken, he didn't doubt his fighting ability.
The main thing is that his current location in the bamboo forest is far away from the territory, so getting here is the biggest problem!
【少卿不负卿】: "But the teleportation stone is a little expensive. With this price, I can buy a lot of rat poison. I don't believe I can't buy all of it at once."
[So redundant]: "I can pay, but you can't do anything about the bamboo rats I catch. It has nothing to do with you. I won't touch anything other than the bamboo rats."
【Shao Qing Bu Fu Qing】: "There is actually such a good thing?"
Shen Shaoqing was a little surprised, and the next second he received a contract message from Zhong Qingwei.
After reading the terms of the contract, he had nothing much to say. Overall, he didn't pay anything and just got the big boss to catch mice for him.
Even though he knew very well that there was no free lunch in the world, Zhong Qingwei's huge investment must have other intentions.
"But that doesn't matter. It can't hurt me anyway, so that's it."
After the two signed the contract, Shen Shaoqing received a huge transfer from Zhong Qingwei, a full 20,000 gold coins!
He immediately opened the system store and bought a teleportation stone. Then, on his map, he placed the teleportation stone to the west of a house in Shuling, where there was a pine forest.
Near the pine forest is the only small bamboo forest in the entire territory.
The bamboo forest was countless times smaller than his own place, but he was still deeply impressed at the time.
After all, as a player who makes a living by selling bamboo, it is difficult for him to forget the specific location of a piece of bamboo.
So after placing the teleportation stone in the territory, the goal is of course to choose this place of your own.
It is also placed on the side of his house, within the protection range of the sub-shield.
So as soon as Shu Ling came out of the house, he saw a flash of blue and pink light across the cloudless sky, like a golden meteor, with a beautiful blue and pink tail.
"Wow, someone else bought a teleportation stone! I wonder who is so rich."
