Chapter 859 The Beginning of Minor Cold (5)
Every time there is something that can be handed over, [Langchong] is always the first to step forward.
The lords of other districts were naturally very aware of the current situation. They sold these ores to Luo Zhiqing, and then used the price of these gold thread ores to offset part of the price of the armor.
In addition to these equipment and armor, Shu Lingyi also needs to start counting and sorting out reserves such as coal, medicine, and food.
But with Luo Feng around, she was in charge of the huge warehouse by herself, and everything was in order, which made Shu Lingyi feel a lot more relaxed.
The numbers on each list are clear and it is easy to match them up.
Another very important and simple thing is food. It has been a long time since there has been any real monster meat available here.
Previously, some meatballs would appear when hailstorms occurred, and the rest were saved from killing monsters during the Beginning of Winter Beast Tide.
Moreover, because the temperature is terribly cold, the shelf life of these meats has been extended to a certain extent.
This one is pretty good. It can be kept fresh by freezing it.
But it’s not a good idea to just leave it there without any processing.
Meat will become stale and unpalatable if left for too long, so people try to air-dry and smoke some of the meat and keep it as bacon.
Then the other part is stored in the prepared ice cellar, or made into meatballs and frozen.
The rest can be used to make soup or stir-fry. We also selected the freshest ones at the time and some chicken pets that have been killed recently, and discussed with Yunbao to make another batch of plain noodles.
The remaining food can be eaten in advance. In the future, foods like plain noodles will be the mainstream. They can be kept for a long time, are very filling, and taste like meat when cooked.
[Yunbao] District 9: "In fact, in addition to this, I also pickled a lot of green vegetables or radishes to make pickled cabbage, and also pickled a lot of various sour wild vegetables."
[Yunbao] District 9: "These pickled vegetables have a long shelf life after being pickled. Then the extra flour and starch can be made into cakes or white steamed buns."
【Doraemon Dodo】District 6: "I didn't expect the guy upstairs is from my hometown? I haven't eaten sour wild food for a long time. I'm a little craving for it."
【Pudding】District 6: “Then buy it!”
[Nine-meter Eight General Attack] District 7: "Making steamed buns is indeed a good idea! It will definitely taste good with some pickled vegetables."
[Matrix] Area 5: "Tsk, how much flour and starch is needed to make steamed buns? I might as well just eat rice and corn!"
[Lying Bug] District 12: "Can your corn be harvested for such a long time?"
[Yan Xingchen] District 9: "Haha, I'll just chew on frozen rotten corn! Great!"
[Matrix] Zone 5: "Corn has a short shelf life, but wheat and rice have a long shelf life! As long as they are handled and stored properly, they will not be infested with insects."
【Lying Bug】District 12: "Okay, okay, we won't waste time talking to idiots. Just do it if you like."
【Zi Bu Yu】District 9: "You are so good at making me laugh even though I am not good at math. You are the funny district 5."
【Xiaoxiao Yangmei】District 9: "Professional rebel!"
Shu Lingyi understood Yunbao's plan and didn't mind everyone knowing about it. He just took it as a reminder to everyone.
In this way, even if we are completely unable to plant crops by then, our capital has been almost used up, and when food is really scarce, everyone will have to eat sparingly.
But the feeling of fullness is related to everyone's condition, so if the food is delicious and filling, players can hold on by themselves.
When I think about the fact that this solar term is the last hurdle, I just have to get through it!
The dawn of victory is just around the corner.
As for the idiotic remarks from Game Zone No. 5, just ignore them. How long can a steamed bun keep you full? And how long can rice keep you full?
Isn't it a bit presumptuous to survive in this game if you just talk about things without looking at the numbers?
Everyone spent the first five days of the Minor Cold in peace. Apart from some minor conflicts with District 5, basically nothing happened.
[February 16, 3103, 10:28, Minor Cold, today's lowest temperature is -63°, level 3 gale, light rain, cold wave is coming, extreme climate, water turns into ice, very easy to get cold, prevent influenza, a few crops can grow, some buildings are easily damaged, please pay attention to repair. ]
A new day has arrived, and the sun is already high in the sky at half past ten. It's a pity that the sun in this winter has actually no temperature and only serves the purpose of providing illumination.
The temperature inside the territory is slightly better, only about minus 60°, about 3° higher than outside.
At today's temperature, there are still a few legendary quality crops that can still be grown.
[Moire] Zone 9: "I estimate that these are the few days left. If the temperature goes above 70°, these seeds will not be able to grow. Five days at most."
So far, the upper limit of the seeds we know is 70 degrees. If it is lower, it will be too cold and the seeds will not survive even if you have them.
Other areas have also planted some of the seeds themselves these days, and Wang Wenwen bought some seeds from the remaining game area and planted them herself.
But the farming gene in Daxia's DNA, especially when a major disaster is approaching, the more worried they are about not having food to eat, the more they think about farming, the more they grow the better.
Let's turn our attention back to the weather forecast.
【Zi Bu Yu】District 9: "As expected, this solar term lasts for 5 days, but today's..."
[Zi Bu Yu] District 9: "Some buildings are easily damaged due to the severe cold? No way, you're using this trick again! I'm really tired of waking up every day and staring at the wear and tear!"
As soon as she woke up, she saw this damn weather forecast, and then she received a notification that the wear and tear of her courtyard had increased by 2 points.
2 o'clock?
That’s not bad!
[Zi Buyu] looked confused, and there were many players who were as bewildered as her.
[Xiao Xiao Yang Mei] District 9: "The durability of the courtyard hasn't dropped much, only 2 points. Is it because it's just the beginning? It will double later."
[The Land of Misery and Devil] District 9: "That's for sure, but how much repair materials are left for this courtyard?"
[Foodie Pipi] Zone 9: "It's getting windier outside, the wind is really getting stronger, I'm scared!"
After checking the weather forecast, I saw that the level 2 gale turned into a level 3 gale.
We went out for a walk. The wind was not only stronger, but even more frightening than yesterday was the damp and cold air that the strong wind brought with it, which really penetrated every pore.
It is much more tricky than before. Everyone found that this super raincoat is not enough even when stacked with a bamboo umbrella.
[Pudding] Zone 6: "Although I can still resist it, after more than three or four hours, I can clearly feel the cold coming in through the gaps in my sleeves. It's freezing—"
[Dancing Shadows] Area 9: "I checked this and it seems that the duration of players being infected with the flu buff has been shortened again. Now it's easier to get into trouble when going out."
[京昭] District 9: "To put it in a serious way, it may be impossible to defend against it. It's just that the difference in resistance between different players will result in different severity of influenza infection."
【云间烟火是家人】District 6: "No wonder I was out all morning and already got the flu buff!"
At this time, Yun Jianyan rubbed his red nose and looked at the follow-up. Before he could do anything, his mild flu buff was upgraded to a moderate flu buff!
When she posted it on the public screen, she found that there were quite a lot of players who had suffered the same fate as her.
Without exception, they are all those who like to go out for a stroll, while those players who stay at home are slightly better.
【The Miserable Demon】Zone 9: "Don't mention it, I'm also suffering from the moderate flu buff. My throat hurts when I want to cough, but I can't cough up any phlegm!"
[Azusa's Words] District 9: "Seeing that everyone is as miserable as me, my body feels warm."
[Silver who loves to read novels] District 9: "It seems that although it is calm at the moment, the flu buff is more likely to be infected and upgraded these days, and it is becoming more and more similar to the cold buff."
【Flowing Years】Zone 9: "I just don't know what the symptoms will be after maxing out. It will definitely be a miserable death."
Currently, these players are still quite cautious about their lives and are trying their best to find ways to remedy and contain this flu buff.
Only some players in Game Area 5 had died. They watched the discussion on the public screen, recalled the scenes of their companions' deaths, and broke out in cold sweats!
[Dancing in the Clear Shadows] District 9: "I have created a new type of flu-prevention and cold-removing soup. Drinking 200ml of this soup once can last for 2 hours. Drinking it three times a day for a few days should help eliminate or downgrade the flu buff."
【Zi Bu Yu】District 9: "I bought it and drank it. It works, but it's so bitter!"
【The Miserable Demon Son】District 9: "Good medicine tastes bitter, that's how it is."
Although Ye Hong said it lightly, after drinking a bowl of soup, the mask of pain appeared on her face.
[Dean Zhu who loves to eat soy milk fish] District 9: "I feel uncomfortable today, but it's not the kind of discomfort caused by the flu buff."
[Ginger is still wise with age] District 9: "I haven't left the house these past few days. I've been hanging around in the livestock farm. I feel sick all over. I suddenly got the flu buff this morning."
[京昭] District 9: "It may be your age problem. You need to take some cold and rheumatism-removing soup every day in addition to the flu-prevention cold-removing soup."
[President Zhu who loves to eat soy milk fish] District 9: "This morning, when I woke up, I felt that my legs were so tired! My arms and waist were also very uncomfortable, with waves of pain."
Dean Zhu suddenly popped up on the public screen. He had just woken up from a nap and was massaging his legs and waist on the bed.
Cover yourself with a blanket, otherwise you will always feel cold and sore all over.
After Dean Zhu finished speaking, Jiang Wang followed suit, and Wang Xiangguo also said that he had the same symptoms.
At first glance, almost all of these players are over 45 years old.
They are not actually considered elderly people, at most they are middle-aged or elderly.
But in this game, people over 45 are really considered elderly. After Dean Zhu and others spoke out, many players in other game areas also spoke out.
Some players are even worse off, they are only 40+ and have already developed the same symptoms.
The level above 45 is the outbreak zone, almost everyone has this disease.
[Yi Ling] District 9: "I'm afraid this isn't old age rheumatism. Wouldn't it be terrible if this was combined with the flu buff? Have you gone to the pharmacy for a checkup?"
Many players felt unwell, and after hearing what Shu Lingyi said, they immediately chose to go to the pharmacy for a check-up.
Just as Shu Lingyi speculated, what everyone suffered from was indeed a type of rheumatism, but it was more serious.
As for why he suddenly developed this disease despite having a fairly good physical fitness, it is not difficult to guess that it was because of the game. Secondly, the natural environment in which everyone lived before was extremely cold for a long time.
The reason why there was no explosion at that time was to accumulate strength for now.
On the fifth day of Minor Cold, everyone started to get sick, and the young players weren't much better either, with most of them getting the flu buff.
[Nine-meter Eight General Attack] District 7: "This is not a big deal. It would be great if there was some medicine that could last longer and not be affected by the cold and trigger the flu buff."
[Mushroom] District 9: "Don't panic, Sister Zhaozhao and Aunt Shuying are already researching it, and the results will be out soon."
[Jing Zhao] District 9: "Still researching, preparing to start refining the elixir, use the whole pill."
[The Miserable Demon] District 9: "I don't have any requests, I just hope it won't be so hard."
[Dancing Shadows] District 9: "I specially mixed some sweetness into it, so it should taste sweet."
【梓卟语】District 9: “That’s good. That soup is so bitter that it makes my mother feel bad for me.”
Many players thought the same as [Zi Bu Yu] and collectively breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Shu Ying's words.
The next morning, everyone woke up with a mild flu buff, but they couldn't care less about that.
【Clouds and Fireworks Are Others】District 6: "I think I know what he meant by building damage. I had a table to eat at, and I guarantee that the durability of this table was still several dozen points yesterday."
Yun Jianyan was stunned, looking at the mess in front of her. The breakfast she bought suddenly turned into ice chips on the table and naturally fell to the ground.
[Foodie Pipi] District 9: "I'm the same as you. I saw my table still had about a hundred points of durability two days ago, so I thought I'd use it for a while. When it's almost gone, I'll get a new one. But this morning I found that it had turned into a pile of ice chips!"
[Silver who loves to read novels] District 9: "I see. It's because the temperature is too low that the furniture and other items are completely frozen! Once the durability of these furniture and other items is low, they may be frozen and then shattered like ice cubes when touched."
Ah Yin had a deep understanding, because she broke not only the table, but also two chairs and a small cabinet!
Even her vase was broken!
In a fit of rage, she checked all the furniture and other items in her house. All the items that were still intact had a durability of more than 100 points.
[Zi Bu Yu]: "Experiments have proven that anything with a durability below 100 will be shattered into ice chips, even the bed!"
【The Miserable Demon】: "Ah? Your bed is gone too?"
【Zi Bu Yu】: "Not only that, I just slept on the floor for a while and my mild flu buff turned into moderate flu!"
She was so annoyed that she cursed and counted her remaining items with nearly 100 points of durability, ready to replace them at any time.
It can almost be said that all the furniture of all players in the entire territory was gone this morning!
Originally, the durability of these furniture is not very low, and they are only used in daily life, so the durability is consumed very slowly, so few players will pay special attention to this issue.
At this time, [Mi Zhishan] was peeking at the screen seriously. He was quietly watching [Zi Buyu]'s speech. He and [Zi Buyu] were both players whose beds were broken.
But he always slept very deeply, so he did not wake up.
When he woke up, the flu buff above his head had been upgraded to severe!
Although it has not been marked in red yet, the word "severe" alone is enough to make people nervous.
This player is very active and has a good relationship with those doctors. He might be able to develop reliable medicine based on her condition.
He will find a way to buy it when the time comes.
[Yu Bai] District 9: "But I saw most of the broken props. The lower the quality of furniture, the faster they break. For example, if the durability of ordinary quality items is less than 200 points, they will break."
【A trace of resentment, Wu Ruocheng】District 9: "My table is also of rare white quality, but I forgot who made it. I thought it looked pretty so I bought it, but it broke into pieces with a click."
[Simple but not simple] District 9: "What I care about most is my ceramic"
The worst hit in this situation are of course players who make ceramic props [simple but not simple].
All the early low-quality ceramic props she had collected turned into ice chips one by one when she touched them this morning!
These ceramic props were all made by her herself. They look very nice, but their values and quality are not very high. Therefore, she chose to collect them and appreciate them every day.
"Now it's all gone." Her heart was broken along with the ice chips.
[Yan Guilai who loves fried potato chips] District 9: "At first I thought that the slag was limited to furniture and some props, but later I found that it was much more terrible than I thought."
There are all kinds of things in this frost-damaged area!
Including beds, even lanterns, umbrellas and other things, these are just props. Buildings are the biggest victims. It’s just that things with high enough quality are more sturdy and can withstand the frost damage for a longer time.
[Yan Xingchen] District 9: "Life is really unbearable! I found out this morning that all the furniture was broken, so I went to find Zhe Yue to order another batch of furniture."
[Yan Xingchen] District 9: “I went out for a walk and found that except for some crops on the farmland in the territory, the outside is really bare and there is nothing.
There are also some old trees that have completely withered and died, some of their branches have turned into ice chips, and nothing else is left.”
[十三夷] District 9: “Fortunately, I dug up all the ores that were finally refreshed in the past two days and stored them all!
Otherwise, we wouldn’t even have a mine now, and it would probably take 20 days for it to refresh again. Whatever mines we saved before would be our last.”
[Yiling] District 9: "Now the game is trying to force players to make legendary items. Epic items are no longer enough. It will be difficult to survive without legendary items."
The situation in Game Area No. 9 is relatively good, especially in Territory 001, where there are many professional talents at the master level.
Secondly, they will be willing to guide each other and provide high-level training to junior students, thus forming a virtuous circle and allowing them to possess many props of legendary quality.
There are also many players who can make these high-quality props.
Before, these players could only make a few things of common or rare quality, and most of them were epic at the minimum, with legendary as the upper limit.
But this may not be the case for other game areas.
Even today, in many gaming areas, many players have become penniless in just one day.
But for important items like beds, people would still replace them with new ones in case of emergency. If there is no legendary item, you can use an epic one first.
[Dancing Shadows] Area 9: "You must have a bed to sleep on! If you don't have a bed, sleeping on the floor will cause the cold to penetrate your body, and the flu buff will be easily upgraded."
[Ziboyu] District 9: "I have already developed moderate flu. Will there be severe cases later? Will severe cases mean death?"
Mi Zhishan's eyebrows jumped when he heard this. They knew that severe influenza would not kill them, but they were not far from death.
As early as when it was raining before, there were players who didn't believe it, and their condition soared from mild to severe, and then - it turned into an extremely severe flu buff!
At this extremely severe level, the buff font color will turn bright red.
In Game Area 5, many players are currently stuck at the middle level. After seeing players die due to the flu buff, they have become more obedient.
He didn’t dare to shout on the public screen, but secretly asked people to purchase the props sold by [001 Territory].
[Mi Zhishan]: "Although the medicine yesterday was very bitter, it seems to be effective for the flu."
[Matrix]: "I drank it too, it's useful, but we can't buy it directly because it's too expensive..."
[Bo Ling]: "You have to drink it even if you don't want to. It gives you two hours of immunity and can also prevent the flu from getting worse. Why are all these people in Area 9?"
[Tasaday]: "If this happened in our district, we would have made a fortune. Selling it at such a low price from other districts, tsk, they are a bit chaste."
[Mi Zhishan]: "People with a conscience don't make much money, that's normal."
These people chat in the public screen of their own game area without worrying about the content being leaked.
[Autumn Wind and Bright Moon]: "Do you still remember Yang Guofu who died two days ago?"
