Chapter 802 The Beginning of Light Snow (9)
On the third day of light snow, the thickness of the snow increased again and the temperature dropped to minus eight degrees Celsius.
Many players who go out to work have started to apply giant clam pearl cream, otherwise their faces, hands, and necks will become painfully frozen when the wind blows.
[Ye Xiaomeng]: "Cutting lacquer is already painful to the skin, and now it happens in such a cold weather, it's even worse."
【Er Mengmeng】: "Fortunately, there is this giant clam pearl cream. Although it is really thick when applied, as Zi Yu said before, it is like a layer of lard."
However, this thick pearl cream can not only keep the skin warm, but also better protect the skin from frostbite.
[Han Wu]: "Amazing! We haven't even researched these pearl creams yet. Tahitian pearl creams are only made on the fifth or sixth day of the beginning of winter."
[Dean Zhu who loves to eat soy milk fish]: "Every time at this time, I feel that I look ordinary. The luck value of 23 is simply amazing. I can encounter such a territory so early!"
[Cloud Pattern]: "The golden nanmu tree will mature in the last six days."
[Have you completed the consecutive tasks?]: "It doesn't matter. I'm already very skilled now. If I practice more, I can carve with my hands and eyes closed!"
[Lin Lanlan]: "Brother Xiaolin asked us to practice this, and we practiced for five days, and we just barely got to the threshold."
【Zi Bu Yu】: "I watched for half an hour yesterday. A novice could not carve it even if he spent 15 or 16 hours studying it all day. Fortunately, I didn't learn this, otherwise I would have gone crazy on the spot."
[Suspicion]: "You have ADHD! You should just study and calm down."
This morning was pretty normal.
It was not until noon that the players who went out to chop trees and mine returned one by one, bringing not-so-good news.
【溫酒信南柯】: "I knew the weather forecast in this crappy game had bad intentions!"
【Zi Bu Yu】: "What happened?"
【Tian Mozi】: "Isn't the weather forecast information quite realistic? What trap did you fall into?"
Most players have never been fooled by weather forecasts, and are quite curious about what exactly happened.
[Foodie Pipi]: "Didn't the weather forecast on the day before Xiaoxue show that monsters and plants went into hibernation during the winter?"
[Foodie Pipi]: "I originally thought that this sentence was nothing special, until today when we cut down and mined all the trees and mineral veins and entered the countdown to the refresh period."
[Wen Jiu Xin Nan Ke]: "In the past, the time was refreshed every 5 days. Can you believe how long it will take to refresh this time?!"
Shu Ling was prepared early in the morning, after all, she had been reminded by her classmate Xiao Ai.
【The Sorrowful Heavenly Demon】: "How long will it take? Once a week?"
[Shisanyi]: "This broken mine is now refreshed every 10 days! This means you can only mine once per solar term! Even if there is a light snow and a heavy snow, at this rate, you can only mine twice!"
【Zi Bu Yu】: "Oh, we could have dug five or six times before, how much production will be reduced!"
[Xia Ri Bin Bin]: "Is it the same with the woods?"
[Er Mengmeng]: "Yes, all the lacquer trees have been harvested today. We can't harvest them again until ten days later. It takes a lot of time to harvest them once. It will take until the next solar term before we can harvest them again."
Shu Ling raised her eyebrows and immediately understood. Just because she was mentally prepared didn't mean other players were.
Most of the players have already started chattering about this on the public screen, and they are all filled with indignation.
The first is that the same is true for coal veins, which means that the number of coal mines available to players will be reduced in the future. It will take ten days to refresh after digging once. How much can you store? !
Next, when coal mines are not needed, there is charcoal. This requires burning trees in a fireplace, preferably oak, pine, etc. to produce high-quality charcoal.
But the refresh time of plants has also become longer!
Isn't this just messing with people's mentality? !
[Xia Ri Bin Bin]: "Based on the previous ore output, I thought Xiao Xue could complete most of the brick and tile production. Now it seems that it is in jeopardy!"
[Yang Liu Yiyi]: "Hey, whether it's the wear and tear of the house this morning or the hibernation of the mineral vein vegetation now, it means that my quadrangle courtyard must be upgraded in advance!"
Her analysis made sense, but at the moment it would take another week to finish painting the phoenix beams and carving the dragon pillars, so there was no point in being impatient.
[Xia Ri Binbin]: "Ajian, Yang Yue and I have worked together to produce 9,600 cloud-patterned black iron bricks, 60,000 glazed gold bricks, and 60,000 vermilion glazed tiles..."
[Yang Liu Yiyi]: "The others are basic materials. Except for the Tianshan cedar wood, the other basic materials are in sufficient stock, but the ones above are basically enough for a few dozen people—"
This is because all the ore that has been dug out in recent days, as well as all the brick kilns and tile kilns in both territories, have been used to produce so much so quickly.
In order to improve speed and efficiency, if there is no biogas, we have to use honeycomb coal + top-quality silver carbon as fuel.
These are also rare items, especially after today, [Xia Ri Binbin] will be a little hesitant.
[Qi Dancing Qingying]: "You can't rush it, so you should save some honeycomb coal and silver carbon. Anyway, the amount of ore that has been dug out is only so much, and the refresh date is getting longer. You don't have to be too anxious, otherwise the kiln will just be empty in the end."
[Xia Ri Bin Bin]: "That makes sense. Let's do it this way for now. After the carved dragon pillar comes out, we can adjust the strategy based on the situation."
Despite this, players still curse the game on the public screen.
[Ci Shengyi]: "It feels like a lot of basic work is gone when this happens."
[Ding Ceng who likes Maojian tea]: "That's right. Cutting down trees and mining used to provide jobs for thousands of people at a time, but now it's not possible!"
With Su Ranran around, there are abundant mineral veins in the territory and thousands of players are assigned to mine. Generally, all the first-sequence mineral veins in various places can be mined on the third day.
Then comes the second sequence, and finally the third sequence. Once these veins are mined, they can be seamlessly connected to the veins of the first sequence.
[Mountain Pattern]: "It's okay. The next task for the territory is probably snow removal and snow sweeping, covering the entire territory."
[President Zhu, who loves to eat soy milk fish]: "The snow is not deep now, and the snowfall is not too bad. If it continues, there will be 5 or 6 millimeters of snow in 12 hours, and we will have to clear it every half a day."
[Xin Jing]: "We have a stockpile of snow removal salt and sand, but a portion of it must be kept for use at the end of the solar term. It is also being placed in various key locations to prevent more difficult disasters from occurring."
[Han Wu]: "Following the big guys, I feel a lot more relaxed. Our territory has also been operated according to the big guys. I hope that more players can survive."
【十三夷】: "So you went to pick up Miss Zhu?"
[Han Wu]: "I'll go pick him up. I think we'll meet him tomorrow morning."
Both sides set out together, so the meeting time must be shorter than normal.
In fact, if they were in a hurry, they could meet that night. However, Jing Shishui couldn't wait for a few hours, so he walked all night and met Zhu Wu Nanqi.
However, after making sure that Nanqi and Zhuwu were both resting and not going any further, Jing Shishui still took a rest at Han Wu's persuasion.
[Han Wu]: "You should gather your strength before you start. Otherwise, if you fight with a tired body, you will definitely be at a disadvantage!"
Only when she brought up her plan to ensure a foolproof revenge did Jing Shishui calm down and decide to rest where he was and settle the score with the two tomorrow.
He took out a sleeping bag that was shining with golden light. This was the animal skin sleeping bag from the 001 territory. It was very warm to sleep in it when camping outside in the winter.
As soon as it was twelve o'clock, Shu Ling opened the weather forecast and saw good news!
[December 29, 3102, 00:07, light snow, today's temperature is -8°, windy, few clouds, no rain, slight snowfall, remember to add clothes to keep warm, be careful to prevent colds and frostbite. It is still possible to travel if the snow depth is 4mm, but some areas are difficult to pass and need to shovel snow.]
[Yi Ling]: "There are few clouds and no rain. It looks like the sun is about to come out!"
Shu Lingyi immediately packed up his things and called Zhong Qingwei to set off overnight.
Holding Shu Lingyi's strange lantern, the two walked side by side.
The mountain road is not easy to walk on. It is flat and wide at the beginning, but becomes steeper and narrower as you go up.
It was already past three in the morning when they reached the halfway point of the mountain. The lanterns were lit, illuminating the area around them.
The current space is only enough for one person to move slowly. Both of them have a sharp dagger in their hands, ready to stab into the wall at any time.
"The snow isn't too thick now, otherwise this road would be really difficult to walk on!"
Nowadays, the accumulated snow can be seen through with just one shovel, and it turns into pure snow water. Although it is freezing to drink, it can keep the mind absolutely clear!
"This snow water is also a good thing. I always feel it has magical uses."
Just like the frost flowers in the previous Frost Descent, it is a good thing available only during this solar term.
"Be careful... There's still some distance to the top of the mountain, and there's almost no road left."
Zhong Qingwei walked in front, and the two of them had already put the lanterns on their shoulders. Shu Ling repeatedly provided a lamp to ensure sufficient light.
In this way, Zhong Qingwei groped his way up first, and Shu Ling continued to climb. The two of them moved forward little by little, and at five o'clock in the morning, they finally reached the top of the mountain.
A gust of wind blew by, and the cold made people's teeth tremble.
At this point, it doesn't matter who explores the way first. Not only is it steep, but it's also covered with layers of snow, and it's hard to find any protrusions even if you reach out and feel around.
He swept the snow away with one hand, then took out his dagger and prepared to dig a small hole to climb up.
Both of them only had 16 points of fullness left, so they couldn't stay where they were for too long.
During this climb, I felt full twice. As the climbing difficulty increased, it became inconvenient to eat and drinking water was enough.
The best way is to climb up early, sit on the peak, eat and wait for the sunrise.
But after four and a half hours, it was impossible for the two of them to say that they were not physically and mentally exhausted.
Even horses can stumble, and even people can make mistakes.
When Shu Ling stretched out his dagger and chiseled towards the upper right, he unexpectedly found that the place was not hard at all. As soon as he chiseled it, it immediately broke into a pile of small gravel and dust and fell off.
Some of them hit her feet, and the pit was spreading cracks in all directions. Shu Lingyi could see that the place where her right hand was originally holding was already broken.
In this situation, she couldn't move because the crack was still spreading little by little, and the next target was her left hand and right foot.
Shu Ling was extremely nervous, fearing that if he moved a little more, the cracks would spread even faster.
Once these last few footholds were lost, she would fall, and from her current position she couldn't find a new place suitable for the dagger to use as a foothold.
If another one is carved out in the same shape, it would be too dangerous!
"Comrade Yi Yi, hold on for now! I'll go up and then let the rope down to pull you up."
Zhong Qingwei also heard the sound of stones breaking, and noticed Shu Lingyi's situation when he took another look. He comforted him gently, with uncontrollable anxiety and worry in his eyes.
"Okay, you stay calm too, and don't let anything happen again." Otherwise, both of them would die here.
The more anxious he was, the calmer and more sober Zhong Qingwei became. After all, this concerned his and Shu Lingyi's lives, so he had no choice but to be cautious.
Fortunately, I had been trained for this kind of thing before, so I adjusted my mindset and took every step carefully. At the same time, I learned from Shu Lingyi's lesson and every time I chiseled the mountain wall, I would test it gently and chisel it bit by bit.
It took him nearly twenty minutes to grope his way up the short distance.
Then, standing on a high place, he immediately took out a thickened and extremely durable hemp rope, tied the other end to the stone behind him, and then wrapped it around his waist twice.
Then he confidently let the other end of the rope down vertically and handed it to Shu Lingyi.
Shu Ling gathered the things on his body, quickly wrapped the hemp rope around his right arm three or four times, and gently pulled it to remind Zhong Qingwei.
Zhong Qingwei above started to pull the rope up with force, and Shu Ling repeatedly used the force of the rope to climb up little by little.
At about a dozen minutes after five, the two reached the top of the mountain one after another. They were exhausted and sat down to rest.
Drink snow water and eat food to replenish your energy.
