Chapter 692: End of the Autumnal Equinox (11)
[Dolo, dololo, the cold wind is freezing me to death ololo——]
I have just finished planting a new batch of Selaginella odorifera. These Selaginella odorifera need to be dried and planted repeatedly.
The clusters of Selaginella in her hands had curled up branches and leaves due to dryness, and their bodies looked dull, shriveled and gray.
After being planted at the edge of the swamp, its branches and leaves soon began to stretch out, revealing its true appearance.
With the help of Shu Ling Yi, the roots quickly take root deep and then absorb water to nourish themselves.
She was admiring the resurrection of the Selaginella odorifera, the fragrance emanating from it was even clearer and richer than the last time it was resurrected.
At this time, Shu Lingyi was in a very good mood. After all, looking at the rows of green little things blooming in the cold wind, he always sighed at the tenacity of life.
As a result, Xiao Ai's red handwriting appeared above these Selaginella plants.
It appeared out of nowhere and kept singing the same tune.
There was a sense of déjà vu that as long as Shu Lingyi didn't listen, it would play over and over again. It was a strange tune. Shu Lingyi didn't even know what Xiao Ai had loaded into the so-called text library after following her.
"The wind isn't that cold, and I'm wearing warm clothes, so it won't freeze me to death."
Shu Lingyi felt that Xiao Ai's move was a bit exaggerated. Luo Zhiqing had also become a master tailor. The cold-resistant clothes in her hands were of very high quality, and the warmth-retaining effect was really reliable with the superposition of various materials.
You won’t feel cold at all when going out in this weather, and you may even feel a little hot after exercising.
Looking at the Selaginella serrata that have been planted on the ground for the sixth time, their branches and leaves have all spread out and are emerald green, but the jade-like texture has not yet appeared.
But it is also very beautiful, and the fragrance it exudes is also pleasant.
[You look down on the cold wind now, but you will treat the cold wind in two days as a formidable enemy. By then it will be too late.]
[In such a cold wind, what time will you go home tonight? 】
Shu Lingyi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Where did this weird little girl quote come from? Can't the text library be updated with something better?
But Xiao Ai obviously didn't want to stop because of her emotions, and she was even trying to remind her.
[Lao Deng, I wonder if this cold wind of mine makes you feel comfortable? It won’t help if you feel uncomfortable, because you will get sick soon.]
After being reminded several times, Shu Ling had to become serious and began to take this issue seriously.
After all, she has been with Xiao Ai for such a long time. Xiao Ai would not do this without reason. There must be a reason for her frequent reminders.
She felt the cold wind blowing on her body, thinking that the cold wind must be serious - but a simple cold couldn't be that serious, right?
Whether it was medicine or crocodile soup, she prepared them all neatly.
There were no patients with difficult-to-cure colds in the gaming area, especially in the clinic. Even if a few people had colds, didn’t they get better after taking medicine?
[Why don't you go home and farm, plant more Selaginella serrata, you can use it to make elixirs to save your brain in the future.]
"Thank you!" Shu Ling gritted his teeth.
No matter what, it is better to be safe than sorry. Shu Lingyi still chose to go home first and then discuss with Jing Zhao the possible illnesses caused by the cold wind.
At first, the two of them didn't come to any conclusion. Jing Zhao had checked many players in recent days, and there was nothing wrong with any of them.
As the two were discussing, Jing Zhao was reminded by Jun Xiaogu to check the news on the public screen, and then Shu Lingyi popped up.
Seeing the appearance of two "big guys" in the medical field, the players rushed to describe their conditions in the past two or three days.
Combining the descriptions of Xiaoxiao and Yamagami Tetsuya, Shu Lingyi and Jing Zhao suddenly understood.
The symptoms caused by the cold flashed through my mind. Insomnia was one of them. However, on Blue Planet, everyone would spontaneously feel sleepy and fall asleep after taking medicine.
But now the Autumnal Equinox has obviously magnified this problem. No wonder one of the medicinal uses of Golden Crocodile Soup is to help players sleep better.
I'm afraid it's just to prevent this, but the effect of the Lulong Decoction is obviously not enough. There should be a special drug formula to treat this disease.
[Xiao Xiao]: "Well, then, Boss, do you have this medicine?"
[Yamagami Tetsuya]: "Yeah, if you have any, can you sell it to us? It's really too painful, I don't want to live anymore!"
The disease tortured them, not only with headaches, but also with fever and pain in all their muscles and bones that could not be described in words, and their emotions were extremely difficult to control.
I really want to vent the rage in my heart by smashing things, throwing things, or even hurting myself.
As soon as Shu Ling mentioned this on the public screen, these people started to hound her with questions like a dog-skin plaster.
[Yi Ling]: "I'm sorry, I don't have the formula for this medicine."
[Lin Lanlan]: "I am dying of laughter. You are almost dying and you start licking the boss, right?"
[Dreamlike Lily Garden]: "It's too late to lick them now. They are a bunch of crazy people. I risked my life to lure away those crocodile monsters, but now I'm speechless to be picked off by others."
[Yue Shengliang who loves sweet-scented osmanthus fish]: "Who says it's not true? At that time, I really wanted to spiral out of control, just like Wu Zetian who was widowed - losing my mind."
[Xiao Liang who loves eating radish]: "Anyway, I hope the boss won't sell them the medicine even if he has it."
[Lin Lanlan]: "It's useless. All of these people have been blacklisted, but there are always people who arrange supplies for them in private."
[Tian Mozi, who is in mourning]: "If it were you, I would limit the purchase. Limit the purchase strictly. That way, no one would be willing to sell the life-saving medicine second-hand, right?"
[Xiao Xiao]: "You guys are so selfish and cold-hearted. We just stole some supplies, not everything. Why do you keep asking for my life?"
【The Miserable Demon】: "When you were taking advantage of us, you used your own tricks. Now when you're begging us for help, you're using moral blackmail, right?"
[Lin Lanlan]: "Schrödinger's morality, so we have no morality now."
Shu Lingyi ignored what Xiao Xiao and the others said. She was thinking about who had the formula when Cui Yuyuan contacted her.
[Yu Yuan is not Taro]: "I saw your discussion on the public screen. This medicine should be the Qingxin Pills I got before, but I don't have enough raw materials now."
[Yu Yuan is not Taro Balls]: "The main ingredient is Selaginella odorifera powder, followed by dried crocodile powder, and many other medicinal herbs. Some can be bought directly from Wuhen, but he said he would buy the first two from you."
[Yi Ling]: "The earliest batch of Selaginella scabra is stored in my warehouse. This needs to be ground into powder and probably needs to be processed before it can be used as a medicinal material."
[Yi Ling]: "You should have some experience with crocodiles, that is, the two pieces of fresh meat from the crocodile's tail. However, the processing process is troublesome. I have some processed ones in my hands now, and the only thing left is to grind them into powder."
Cui Yuyuan also listed a lot of medicinal herbs, but there were many players farming in the territory, especially [Xiaoyao Butterfly] who was constantly planting various herbs. After planting, he would process them into medicinal herbs himself.
Some of the herbs he doesn't grow are purchased, processed and then sold, or he charges processing fees to help some players process the herbs they need.
Therefore, most of the medicinal materials, as long as they are not too rare, can basically be bought from [Xiaoyao Butterfly].
Of course, Shu Lingyi was not the only one who had alligator dried plants and Selaginella odorifera, but she was the first one to plant them.
In addition, repeating this nine times is really a test of the player's patience. Each time, the interval of twenty-four hours must be very precise. Ten minutes more is fine, but one minute less and the Selaginella will really die.
In other words, if the planting process is not strictly completed, the medicinal properties of Selaginella ovata cannot be exerted.
Plant them for a day, then pull them out, dry them, and plant them again.
At that time, Shu Lingyi's every day was really about dealing with these Selaginella odorifera. Drying them is actually easy. During the period from the beginning of the autumnal equinox, the sun at noon is very strong.
It only takes about three hours for the Selaginella serrata to dry up and shrink, which basically meets the standards for replanting and can be planted back in batches.
At that time, sometimes I would forget the time and pick the Selaginella too early and ruin it.
If you pick them too late, say half an hour later, the Selaginella will curl up by itself, with its roots pulled out of the ground, allowing the cold wind to blow its body to a new swamp to take root again.
Shu Lingyi had a planned planting plan for each swampland, for fear that she would get confused, and she would also count the number of plants.
When she first discovered that a lot of her Selaginella were inexplicably missing, she was completely confused.
Standing in front of the empty swamp, the cold wind made people feel very disheveled.
In particular, classmate Xiao Ai even had time to mock her mercilessly.
【Late planting is cheaper than grass. 】
[The Selaginella scabra doesn't even wait for you, it just runs away with its roots without even looking back! ]
"Stop talking like I'm some huge scumbag."
Shu Lingyi suffered heavy losses that day, but fortunately, after the chaos, she managed to recover a lot of Selaginella.
After that, she became more cautious and careful every day, and engraved the words "conscientious" on her face.
The earliest batch of Selaginella serrata in Shu Lingyi's hands were those that were salvaged.
As of the 10th, Shu Lingyi only had 30 Selaginella plants in his hands.
As for how to process the Selaginella odorifera into powder, she didn't quite understand. It couldn't be done by drying it in the sun like crocodile jerky and then grinding it into powder, right?
Finally, it was handed over to [Xiaoyao De Die] for processing, and then given to Cui Yuyuan for production.
Shu Lingyi, Jing Zhao and others also provided all the help they could, and soon Cui Yuyuan delivered the first version of Qingxin Pills.
[Qingxin Pills: A special pill, a simplified version of the Huanhun Pill. The round, milky white pills emit a refreshing fragrance. They were made by a senior physician, and the furnace used to make the pills was just a boiler, which affected the medicinal properties.]
【Effects: Relieve restlessness, soothe the mind and help sleep. Taking one pill will make you feel clear-headed and have a good sleep within six hours.】
Read the details quickly and focus on the introduction at the beginning.
[Yu Yuan is not Taro]: "Making this is not ordinary. At first I thought I just needed to put the herbs into the synthesis column, but it turns out that I need to use a furnace?!"
[Yu Yuan is not Taro]: "How can I have an alchemy furnace? This is to embarrass me, so you just use the boiler for now."
This was the first time Shu Ling encountered such a strange pill. Judging from the description, if a better alchemy furnace was used, the medicinal properties would last longer, right?
[Yi Ling]: "Let's go buy an alchemy furnace? If not, ask Brother Xiao Lin to customize one. I think he should be able to make it."
When Shu Lingyi found [Have you completed the continuous tasks] to inquire about this custom-made alchemy furnace, the person on the spot replied: "Boss, I am an expert in handicrafts, but I am not the weapon refiner in fantasy novels, okay."
He couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "Who would study how to make an alchemy furnace if they have nothing else to do? I also need the blueprint to operate it."
It was impossible to rely on manual customization, but fortunately a player behind took out a very ancient alchemy furnace.
With this alchemy furnace, when Cui Yuyuan refines a new batch of Qingxin Pills, the efficacy will last for 10 hours.
When the Qingxin Pills were officially put on sale, Xiaoxiao and his friends were already on the brink of pain, hanging on by a thread in the hope of buying the medicine to save their lives.
But Cui Yuyuan happened to have a firm grasp on the lifeblood of these people. She restricted the purchase of effective medicines, and one had to go to Jing Zhao for a physical examination before they could buy them.
Song Xiao may be able to get away with it and buy his own medicine, but what about his other brothers?
He couldn't give up his life for his good brother, and when he was immediately conflicted, Cui Yuyuan took out those medicines with short-term effects.
It is marked as a defective product, but is sold at a high price. The sales channels are open to [Xiaoxiao] and [Yamagami Tetsuya].
At the beginning, a defective Qingxin Pill would cost 20,000 gold coins + some materials to buy.
The little money that was obtained from the bargain was soon given away during the long period of time when I bought Qingxin Pills.
And after that they could only obediently obtain the materials, so they couldn't help but hold their breath.
Fortunately, there are still sufficient materials for them to obtain in the entire game area. They are not in a hurry to upgrade their houses, and reselling them can also bring in a lot of income.
In the blink of an eye, it was the early morning of the 10th, and there were still 8,100 survivors in the entire game area.
Now the medicine is just enough. After all, at least three Qingxin Pills must be taken a day. Cui Yuyuan's pill-making efficiency is not very high, probably because the pharmacist is not skilled enough.
The medicines are basically just enough, with a small amount left over, but not much.
Therefore, the entire territory is working hard to ensure the supply and demand of materials.
More than 8,000 players want to upgrade to Siheyuan, and the materials required are astronomical, so many players still need to go out every day to obtain raw materials.
As long as you go out to work, the number of Qingxin Pills you need to take every day will increase, and it will also delay part of your working time during the day.
Therefore, some players have to go out to work even at night. Shu Lingyi has to go out these days to complete the planting of the last few batches of Selaginella odorifera.
During the last three days of the autumnal equinox, more time was needed to dry the Selaginella, causing the planting time to be gradually postponed. For example, on the 10th, she went to plant at 10 o'clock in the evening.
Selaginella should be planted near swamps, where there will be many cedar trees. However, the crocodile monster has disappeared in the past few days.
[Today in the pine forest, there are monsters you haven't seen for a long time. Please seize this short time and hunt them down.]
【Once you miss this opportunity, you will miss this store. 】
As soon as Shu Lingyi went out, he saw Xiao Ai's reminder, so he called Zhong Qingwei to be his thug without hesitation.
In fact, it’s not that she didn’t think about calling a few more people, but just when she was about to call for help, others encountered danger before her!
In a short period of time, the number of survivors in the game area began to drop sharply. In just a quarter of an hour, five hundred people were lost!
