Chapter 862 The Beginning of Minor Cold (8)
You have to take a pill and go through the daily torture process to keep your subsequent actions normal.
After each torture, I would sweat profusely. Although the process was painful, it was really hot.
If the first half was so painful that I broke out in cold sweats, as the second half began, it slowly became like a steamer and I began to sweat hotly. By the end of the last show, it felt like I had experienced an extremely painful spa.
But now, it is suitable to take a bath after showering, and add some mild medicinal herbs to strengthen the medicinal properties of the Quhan Pills.
The medicine carefully prepared by Shuying can appropriately relieve the body aches after the side effects are over.
After taking a bath, your body is completely relaxed and you can experience a rare relaxing moment.
[Yi Ling]: "After the torture, I was full of energy for another 8 hours!"
Everyone joked with each other on the public screen, which was a way to have fun in the midst of suffering and not feel too uncomfortable.
Shu Ling Yiyi himself did not expect that the weather would turn out like this in the past few days. When he looked at the weather forecast, it was already 73°.
There is now a huge coal furnace in the territory to maintain the temperature. It is 73° outside and only 70° inside the territory.
Despite this, the temperature is really not to be underestimated.
The lower the temperature, the more likely the player will be hit a second time.
[Moire] Area 9: "Okay, just as I expected, the weather forecast has already been broadcasted. After today, there will be no crops that can grow. Fortunately, I harvested everything I could last night."
[Cai Cai Cai Pear] District 9: "Yeah, all my pear trees can only be chopped down and burned as firewood now."
[Little Yangmei] District 9: "Don't waste your wood. You can just chop down this legendary crop and use it as firewood. The charcoal you burn will be top quality!"
Because fruit trees are slightly more cold-resistant than other crops and have a longer maturity period, many fruit trees of legendary quality can still be planted.
But by this time of year, all the fruit trees have withered and died, leaving only bare branches.
[Serious Fat Baby] District 3: "It's already a force 4 gale now, much stronger than yesterday."
At this point, many people woke up from their beds one after another. After taking the Quhan Pills, the punishment was over and everyone was chatting on the public screen.
Shu Lingyi had gotten himself ready to go to the restaurant to cook something.
After taking a bath, she felt much better all over. She packed a set of clothes and equipment before daring to go out.
Shu Ling carefully tied up her ponytail, then put on her helmet and went out. The helmet and the neckband were two parts of a mysterious armor series. When worn on the head, they could cover the entire head and neck.
In fact, the effect is similar to adding a helmet to the iron-headed Lei Feng hat, but it feels more like an enhanced version of the combination of the two.
"It's really hard to go out in this weather."
It is indeed very difficult. It is so cold outside. If you go out without a complete set of equipment, you will be frozen into a Muggle in minutes.
If you are a little careless, you will immediately trigger the cold erosion, and then a bright red severe flu buff will hang on your head, and the player will turn into broken ice when he coughs.
【梓域语】9th District: "Last solar term we were on guard against extremely large hail and turned it into broken ice, but we didn't expect that this solar term we would turn into hail and become broken ice instead."
[Cloud Pattern]: "Crops can no longer grow. Sigh, I can only use up my stored food to eat."
[The Miserable Demon] District 9: "I don't care. As long as I have gold coins, I will have food in any restaurant in the territory."
[Nine-meter Eight General Attack] District 7: "I really envy you. Although we also have a restaurant in our territory, the cooking skills are still very good, but compared to yours, there is really a gap."
When we arrived at the restaurant in the freezing cold, we all drank some hot water and had a bowl of anti-flu and cold-relieving soup.
He sat down next to the fire and started to warm himself. When he felt the coldness all over his body was gone, he started to take off his equipment and get busy with Rainbow Dash and other players in the restaurant.
Of course, I have only unlocked my equipment, and the clothes inside are still incredibly thick. It’s just that after I get used to wearing them in the game, I realize that I have to wear things like big cotton-padded jackets and super cotton pants, and I can’t miss any of them.
If you also add long johns, sweaters, autumn clothes and other warm clothes, the player should become as fat as a ball and walk as stupidly as a penguin.
But it's obviously not in the game, it just makes people look a little bloated, and it doesn't affect the action much.
Perhaps it’s because the fabrics in the game are special, so the thick and warm clothes are completely different from those on Blue Planet.
[Time Passes] District 9: "We only wear one or two of these super cotton pants. After a stroll outside, their durability is almost gone. The weather is too absurd. I don't know what we should wear later."
After all, this is a prop of legendary quality. It is quite effective in keeping warm when worn. The second thing is to take a stroll outside - who would go out wearing only this clothing now?
Everyone wears three pieces of warm clothes inside and outside, but if they really go out, they have to put on a set of armor like Shu Lingyi, which is simply amazing!
It's so thick that it's a bit difficult for the player to move - the armor is still a bit heavy, although it will become extra strong according to the player's "body shape" at any time, which does not affect the wearing of the armor.
But armor is still heavier than clothes, even though a lot of it uses legendary materials to reduce some of the weight.
The whole set of clothing is still not light, and many players still need to adapt to it in advance.
Wearing this armor may not be enough, you may even need to put on a super raincoat!
[Yi Ling]: "This way of dressing is really like nesting dolls, layer upon layer. When the cold air sees us, we will curse and say we are so annoyed."
【Zi Bu Yu】: "Hahahaha, big guy is so good at talking. After I put on this whole set, the weight didn't change much, but I'm really not used to it. I can turn into a ball and roll around at any time."
[Tian Mozi]: "I plan to follow what Boss Yi said. After putting on the clothes, I will not go out. I will just practice boxing at home to stretch my muscles and bones. This will ensure that if I fight later, I will not be affected by the combined effects of clothes + armor + raincoat."
Shu Lingyi proposed this a while ago, and there are many players who agree with her idea. After all, combat players have long been aware of this.
In fact, the clothes they are wearing now look like nesting dolls. Generally, some people stack buffs, but they are stacking clothes.
If there are too many of them stacked together, it will make it inconvenient for people to move. If we encounter a tide of beasts, won’t we all be doomed?
So, led by Shu Lingyi, the daily warm-up boxing gymnastics began.
Other game areas also followed suit.
At noon, Shu Lingyi and Zhong Qingwei went back to their own house and had lunch together. Then it was the familiar time for punishment. Shu Lingyi took out the Quhan Pill and took it.
He lay down on the bed skillfully and started the torture mode until he passed the torture.
To avoid embarrassment, Zhong Qingwei went to another room, and the two took medicine together, and the punishment ended at basically the same time.
After the scene was over, the two of them slowly got up and simply wiped themselves clean with wet towels.
Then the two of them sat together on two rocking chairs in the living room to talk and relax.
You definitely can’t take a bath together. Not everyone is as bold and playful as Su Ranran.
Qi Xuanze has been under double punishment these days. His face has turned pale and his dark circles have become heavier.
"When did you start to like me?"
Shu Lingyi was lying on the small rocking chair and asking questions very comfortably. Zhong Qingwei raised his eyebrows, and the first image that emerged in his mind was the scene of their first meeting.
"If I say it was the moment you threw the axe at me, would you believe me?"
Zhong Qingwei couldn't help but grinning when he said this, his heart pounding: "You know, it was really like that at the time, ah - the little deer kept bumping into things and was almost killed!"
"Are you almost unable to breathe and your scalp is standing on end from nervousness?"
Shu Lingyi held his hand and imagined the scene, and he also found it very funny...
"Luckily, I missed the target. I thought someone was trying to steal my wood."
Looking back now, Shu Lingyi feels that he was a bit too aggressive at that time.
How can you attack someone without asking any questions, without even clarifying their intentions?
It is indeed an extremely bad behavior.
"I was also puzzled at the time, so I went over to take a look at whose wood it belonged, and suddenly someone came up and gave me an axe—"
"When I came to the forest the next day, most of the trees were gone. Did you cut them all down?"
This question has actually been on Zhong Qingwei's mind for a while. Thinking back to the time when the game started, he always felt that he was unlucky...
Shu Ling laughed loudly, and after laughing he did not forget to raise his eyebrows and nod at Zhong Qingwei: "Of course!"
She recalled the past, looking back with a carefree gaze: "I also killed a wild boar in the back. It seemed that its leg was broken and it hid in the stone forest. It was also missing a tusk!"
It's been a long time since then, and Shu Lingyi himself can't remember it clearly. He can only remember the general idea.
"Oh, I know that. It turns out that wild boar was found by you. I encountered one when I first went out for a walk, but it ran away. Later I went to the woods over there and saw the wood."
But the wild boar was not found and was almost eaten by an axe. The next day, half of the forest was gone.
The two of them talked about their first meeting, and they became more and more excited. They didn't expect that they had such a connection when they were not very familiar with each other.
"From this perspective, it seems like I've picked up a lot of things that you've missed." Shu Lingyi propped up his chin and began to think about what he had encountered in the beginning...
What if she picked up more than just the wild boar?
"There was another wolf behind me. I don't know if you missed it, but I injured it and let it run away."
"I don't really remember that." Shu Ling shook his head: "But this is not important. What's important is that you have liked me for so long, and you didn't confess earlier."
Zhong Qingwei looked at Shu Lingyi lying in the rocking chair and recalled the embarrassment of his first confession. He couldn't help but hold his forehead and smile bitterly.
He turned sideways and stretched out his hand to twist Shu Lingyi's body, so that they were facing each other, and then he held her face again so that she could look at him: "Who said I didn't confess to you at that time, it's just that someone didn't hear it."
His tone was serious yet a little teasing, and the "someone" in his words was directly pointing at Shu Lingyi.
Shu's little head was full of question marks. He blinked, tilted his head slightly, and broke free from Zhong Qingwei's hand.
She rubbed Zhong Qingwei's face, rubbing it left and right. She was still confused at this time: "Really? I don't remember ever hearing you confess to me!"
Faced with Zhong Qingwei's affirmative look, Shu Lingyi even had a little self-doubt, but after thinking it over and over again, sorting out his memory from beginning to end, he really did not have this impression.
"I forgot what happened that time..."
Zhong Qingwei also thought about it and recalled: "I seem to be injured, with a large area of blisters or something... You treated the wound for me, and I was very moved at the time, and then I wanted to confess to you."
Zhong Qingwei probably will never forget the latter part of the story. Even when he mentioned it, his tone couldn't help but become a little nervous.
"Then I tried very hard to speak it out. It was really my first time confessing my feelings to someone! I was very nervous."
"I didn't dare to look up at you at the time, I just sat aside. As a result, you didn't respond for a long time after I finished speaking. When I looked back, I saw that you had fallen asleep."
"!" Shu Lingyi's pupils trembled!
She remembered it as soon as Zhong Qingwei said it, but she was really tired and sleepy at the time, and she had no memory of anything after falling asleep.
It turns out that I missed so much at that time!
"It doesn't matter. Although I'm a little late for this confession, at least I'm not absent." After saying that, Shu Lingyi smiled and leaned over to kiss the corners of Zhong Qingwei's lips twice.
This is the first time for both of them to fall in love. In Su Ranran's words, their progress bar is just slightly better than that of elementary school students.
But it’s not that Shu Lingyi doesn’t have any ideas at all, but... his parents are in this game area. If Jiang Wang knew about this, he would slap Zhong Qingwei twice in the face in the wind and snow all night.
After the intimacy, the two lay back on the recliners and started thinking about what to do next.
"I don't know how long this situation will last. I feel like there will be a very difficult beast tide. I think Qingqing will be able to make the most troublesome breastplate in a few days."
"I'll process all the iron ore here and try to turn it all into weapons."
Now everyone has to prepare for the possible subsequent war. The two of them are now helping to store food, medicine and weapons. Nothing can be left behind.
Even Lu Yizhen and others are now dragged by Zhong Qingwei to do blacksmithing every day.
Since the farmland no longer needs to be planted, the life players suddenly have some free time, so they can practice boxing and improve their archery or other skills. If that doesn't work, they can learn some cooking and handicrafts.
I'm staying at home anyway, so I might as well find something to do so I won't be idle anymore.
As the weather became increasingly severe and extreme, all crops could no longer be grown.
There is not even a single plant in the entire game area now. Only some completely withered and dead old trees are still standing, but they can only be cut down and will not regenerate.
In comparison, the livestock farm that Jiang Wang is cultivating here is still quite lively at this time. There are still various pets in it. Some of them are kept as combat power, and can also be everyone's last ration when necessary.
However, the environment is harsh, so these pets will no longer give birth to offspring even though they are in pairs. They even show a hint of anxiety and often need trainers to comfort them.
Many of them will give birth to furry animals, such as Tianzhu, Shu Lingyi's favorite, and those sheep.
As their levels increase, the attribute values of their wool are upgraded and strengthened to a certain extent, and it is also very effective to use it to make clothing and armor.
Nowadays, all you can see in the territory is desolate scenery. Even when it snowed before, it was still full of white and beautiful.
Especially the solar snow at that time, which was like a gift from God, and I still remember it vividly.
But now it is completely different. The desolate sight gives people a feeling of desolation and sadness. The feeling is really different!
There is now a layer of hard but not thick frost on the ground, and it is easy to slip and fall on the ground. If you fall and come into close contact with the frost, your flu buff will quickly upgrade.
Boots like armored boots are specially designed with anti-slip bases, which are much better than snow boots and less likely to have problems.
It’s just that there are no battles normally, so no one wants to participate. Also, these iron armor boots are too expensive, so no one wants to waste them.
It is better to choose a substitute such as snow boots for daily travel.
[Serious Fat Baby] District 3: "I always admire the innovative manufacturing capabilities of those big guys in Territory 001. They are really amazing!"
【dxf】District 12: "There's nothing we can do. They don't have to work as hard as we do and save on food and clothing."
[Fireworks in the Clouds Are Their Own] District 6: "They actually have so much stored grain, and they haven't finished planting until today! I suddenly thought about how full their granaries must be, and I wish I could turn into a mouse and sneak in to steal some of the stock!"
Although cross-region transactions have been introduced, it is clear that the fees are more expensive and ordinary players currently have almost no source of income.
Being able to pay taxes normally is considered to be sufficient funds. On a regular basis, you may still have to buy food in the territory, which is not cheap.
If you want to buy food in the restaurant in Shulingyi’s territory, you have to spend a lot of gold coins.
Except for some foodies and wealthy territories, who would be willing (without money) to spend such a high price to purchase across regions?
Even if you are an individual player and only have one meal a day, it's okay. But if you want to rely on the food from [001 Territory] for three meals a day, then it will really be a waste of money.
【Dora Mi Dodo】Zone 6: "Not only that, they also have a very large livestock farm with all kinds of species. I don't know how shocked I was when I found out about it."
[Cloud Fireworks is Other People] District 6: "What kind of species are there? Holy shit! How did they do that? Where did they collect so many species? There must be some very high-level animal trainers!"
[Ye Xiaomeng] District 9: "That doesn't mean they have everything. It's just that most of them do have pandas, wolves, deer, tigers, birds, chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, etc...."
The more Ye Xiaomeng talked about it, the more she felt like she was being crazy and Versailles. If she stood in front of these players, she would probably get beaten up by them.
【Lying Bug】District 12: "If you say that, what's the difference between your livestock farm and other places?"
As expected, Ye Xiaomeng's words were too hateful.
[Luolanyi] District 6: "Panda! They actually feed the national treasure! Where can they get the baby pandas to raise?! Is it so exaggerated?"
[Novel: Advanced Cancer Patient] Zone 1: "I can already hear the groundhog screaming upstairs."
At this moment, the public screen was suddenly bombarded with a lot of messages, and countless players wanted to follow these words to crawl to their No. 9 game area.
From these words, we can see the players' desire for this. They are all going crazy and will die if they don't touch the panda.
【Zi Bu Yu】District 9: “Don’t talk about you guys, we like touching too!”
【少卿不负卿】: "It's a national treasure. It's just that there are more bamboos here, so a group of pandas have been attracted to live here."
[Yue Shengliang who loves sweet-scented osmanthus fish]: "I went back to Blue Star and changed my career to become a breeder, hahaha!"
[Fireworks in the Clouds Are Their Own] District 6: “Ahh! I want to touch it too!”
[Mongoose who likes tiger-striped dogs]: "Then don't those of us in the same game zone have a chance?"
That’s a giant panda!
Who wouldn’t be moved!
Many players are eager to make a move, and [Nuannuan Territory] and [Gongguang Territory] are no exception. They all want to fight for a teleportation stone quota.
【少卿不负卿】District 9: "It's too cold now, they rarely leave the courtyard."
Yes, pandas now also live in courtyards. The courtyard where Shen Shaoqing lives alone and the other three have all been modified by Qi Xuanze into a cave style, allowing these guys to move around in the courtyards.
If you want to eat something, just let Shen Shaoqing go outside and chop it back. It's too cold outside, and the pandas are too lazy to move, so they just stay there to store fat.
When it comes to dinner time, other players can only eat ordinary white rice or even white flour buns, and it is already very good with some sauerkraut.
The animal husbandry and planting in most of their territories are far inferior to Shu Lingyi's. They can hold out for a while but not for such a long time.
So they can only start saving food in advance, just in case.
Therefore, some territories with abundant funds would directly purchase large quantities of white flour buns and a few other items such as dried bacon and sausage from [001 Territory].
These white flour buns have a long shelf life and are exceptionally soft and sweet when eaten within five days. After that they will become hard, but they are still delicious after being toasted.
It is also delicious if soaked in brown sugar, donkey-hide gelatin and fish soup until softened, and can be eaten even after ten days.
