Chapter 846 Cold Rain Erosion (5)
Otherwise, these furnaces would not be able to work, and it would not be possible to quickly refine top-quality diamonds. Without enough diamonds, how could other buildings be synthesized?
In the end, it is a terrible vicious cycle.
Some players of the previous [Huaihe Territory] chose to relocate to another territory. Even without the protective shield, they could still rely on the two-in-one courtyard to protect themselves.
Among them, the few female players all rushed to the [Shennong Territory], which they were more familiar with after all.
Even if there have been frictions between the two territories, as long as there is no direct hatred between the players, Lord Jiang Chu will be very tolerant of female compatriots.
Some male players went to [Wu Han Territory] with the little strength they had, mainly to [001 Territory] or [Qingying Territory] because their stats and skills were too few.
You won't be treated well and may even be bullied.
According to the past concept of large territories, these players would rather choose a small territory with a few hundred people.
It doesn’t matter even if it’s a small territory. The only pity is that the lord of this territory is a woman.
But there is nothing we can do, since all the territories in the entire game area are ruled by female lords!
Due to the need to find territory to survive, everyone had no choice but to accept it.
However, there are still a group of players who think that as long as they hide in their own courtyards, the food they have stored is enough, and at worst there are still a lot of gold coins, [001 Territory] will be willing to earn their money and provide food.
Therefore, there is no need to look for those territories and spend money to join them in order to survive.
Who knows, they will meet a lord that satisfies them in the next solar term. Now it is different from the past. With the two-in-one courtyard, its powerful value is enough for them to survive without a protective shield.
Some players feel that this is not safe enough and are still willing to look for territories to seek more protection.
As a result, the entire territory, which originally had a small population, was divided into three parts and each went their own way.
Not all players can part ways so amicably. Some players originally worked together to obtain materials to upgrade to the two-in-one courtyard.
But nowadays, some people want to seek shelter in the territory and have the idea of moving the Siheyuan there, while some want to stay here, so naturally the Siheyuan must also be left.
The two parties argued endlessly. Everyone wanted to keep the Siheyuan to themselves. A Siheyuan could be joined into one by three, but it could not be divided into three or into two.
There is no way to part ways amicably when encountering such a situation. People will always quarrel fiercely for their own interests.
However, people cannot reach a conclusion by arguing privately, and some even resort to physical combat. The losing party may not give up, and in the end it is easy for the situation to develop into a fight to the death.
Some players were reluctant to risk their lives, so they had to give up the fight for the courtyard in disgrace, and just wanted some compensation, and then everyone disbanded.
But everyone has resentment in this situation, and many players vented their frustration on the public screen.
[Dudu]: "I'm speechless. How can there be a landlord who would just run away and break the contract and kick us out? Can't you have some sense of contract?"
At this time, all kinds of situations are seen on the public screen, and players from other territories just act as spectators.
Some landlords canceled their leases, and some players fled en masse to become tenants in new territories.
[Salted Fish]: "Let's rent a house together. Those who want to take the house away and those who can stay can exchange personnel."
[Dudu]: "That's fine. Let's go find Brother Luo. He just happened to chase away a few people who wanted to leave."
[Xingluoluo Caihong]: "Yes, I think Brother Xianyu's idea is good. Some of the landlords who have left and don't have a courtyard house to live in can come to me and we can redraft the contract."
[Yifanxuan]: "It just so happens that I have a courtyard house for rent."
The farce on this public screen was finally about to end, and everyone began to discuss methods with each other.
Finally, we came up with the current method. The simplest one is of course to compensate the other two or one player after the armed confrontation.
The players who received compensation naturally gave up the courtyard and packed up their belongings and took them away.
They either go to another territory to survive, or find a landlord who originally had a courtyard house in the territory and rent a new house.
[Big Ginger Head]: "Sisters, it's a good thing you found us. Don't worry, we guarantee you'll have a place to live!"
[Han Wu]: "I have some vacant rooms in my territory that can be rented out. Don't worry, the price will definitely not be inflated."
Anyway, there were so many players who died in the territory before, so there were always vacant houses. Although it was not easy to rent them, there were always empty rooms to live in.
If all else fails, there are still people who move with courtyard houses. These players can also accommodate those who move in together but don’t have a room.
Several waves of people began to reintegrate, and the public screen gradually calmed down.
However, this peace was short-lived, and soon some players began to mock or vent their dissatisfaction on the public screen.
[Xingluoluo Rainbow]: "I've seen people who are mean, but I've never seen people as mean as you. You rush to give gold coins to other people's territories, right? You obviously have a safe house, why do this?"
[Dudu]: "I am speechless. They don't know what good it is for them to be managed and exploited by others. If you are worried about safety, isn't the quadrangle safe enough?"
【Yifanxuan】: "What multiple guarantees? When the time comes, they will just rush to be cannon fodder."
[Tracing the Origin]: "And those women, it's obvious that they're eager to go to Shennong's territory. It's okay that the women are spineless, but I didn't expect the men to be the same."
[Yifanxuan]: "You'll get used to it. I think we are self-sufficient, free from restrictions, and don't have to pay any taxes. How free we are."
【Zi Bu Yu】: "I wonder if you guys can play with that Huaihe Lord before? It turns out you are all just a bunch of newbies from the same post station."
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk]: "Other players have their own freedoms, and some players who left were given adequate compensation. Why don't you dare to tell others offline about all these complaints? Instead of speaking on the public screen, aren't you just taking advantage of the fact that the other party doesn't have time to deal with you?"
[Yi Ling]: "Forget it, there's nothing to argue about. They'll just have to regret it later."
Shu Lingyi just glanced at the news and ignored it. She was more concerned about the shield's reaction to the hail.
The protective shield of her territory has been upgraded to the maximum level and is not affected at all. The frequency of falling hail is actually much lower than outside the territory.
It is relatively easy for players to deal with hail in their territory.
It's stressful to go outside. On the way she and Su Ranran went mining, the frequency of hail falling was almost as high as that of rain.
Fortunately, we finished digging it out completely in the past two days, otherwise there would be no way to survive.
But Ms. Shuying told her that as the frequency of heavy hail increased, the protective shield began to struggle and the blood loss rate was significantly faster.
But it is still within an acceptable range and is only repaired once a day, so some lords do not seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.
The winter solstice is only halfway through, and there is still half a day waiting for everyone. It is hard to say how terrible the hail and rain will be by then.
She discussed the matter privately with Ms. Shuying.
[Yiling]: "According to the previous rhythm, the days of continuous heavy hail may last for three days. If it is longer, it may be five days. There are still many days to go...it may be even more serious."
This is not something Shu Ling said casually. After all, she has already asked Xiao Ai, and big, medium and small are already three levels.
She was not sure how many levels of hail disasters there were, so she asked Xiao Ai and got a reply that there would be even higher levels in the future.
She didn't dare to imagine what the hail would look like later, but the current large hail was enough to overwhelm the protective shield.
No wonder Xiao Ai said before that she couldn’t upgrade her shield. This time she can only depend on other people’s wishes.
[Dancing Shadows]: "Indeed, once the next level of hail arrives, we may not be able to maintain our peace."
How could the protective shield withstand such overwhelming hail? What if the frequency and size were doubled? The more Shu Lingyi thought about it, the more he knew that the protective shield would be breached under such circumstances.
She read the news on the public screen today and felt complicated. There was nothing wrong with these players wanting to find a protective shield for protection. It could even be said that their pursuit of multiple senses of security was correct.
Although the numerical value of the courtyard house is very strong, it does not mean that it can remain so strong in the face of future natural disasters.
Judging from what the system says, it is definitely not that simple. Moreover, the certification for the two-in-one courtyard house in the game is at the maximum level, and the upgraded protective shield must also be at the maximum level. Only when they are combined together can they have enough ability to resist natural disasters.
[Yi Ling]: "The Siheyuan looks powerful now, but it is probably only short-term. The shield needs to be upgraded to withstand the natural disaster."
Shuying understood what Shu Lingyi meant. Anyway, he had anticipated the current situation when he talked about the shield stone.
She was very frank and said directly to Shu Lingyi: "When the time is right, I will propose that the shield can no longer hold up and I will join the 001 territory."
Shu Ling smiled, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
Recalling the time when Qin Xi’s territory was on the verge of destruction and applied to become her 001 subsidiary area, she wanted to help people repair the protective shield!
Shu Lingyi has to consider not only his own affairs and those of Shuying Territory, but also the other four territories in the game area.
Although once the annexation is agreed upon, the shield value will be shared, but the health lost still needs to be replenished.
[Dancing Shadows]: "I guess as the hailstorm gets stronger, it will become harder and harder for the shield to hold up for long periods of time. When repairing the shield gradually puts their wallets into a tight spot, they will definitely think of upgrading the shield."
[Qi Dancing Qingying]: "At this time, the shield stone inside the shield will definitely be mentioned. I have seen them talk about it before, but because they didn't know what it was specifically, there was no follow-up."
[Yi Ling]: "That's true, but how should I talk about this in the public screen? If I talk about the origin of my shield stone, there will inevitably be some opinions."
Shu Lingyi was worried that Lord Han Wu would complain if he knew about this. After all, this also belonged to the entire game area...
As soon as this tangled idea popped up, she quickly rejected it. She was very confident in holding it, so what good opinion did she have to express?
