Chapter 863 The End of Minor Cold (1)
As long as they live frugally like this, they can ensure that there will be enough food to sustain them in the later stages.
[Serious Fat Baby] District 3: "I'm so envious. We are still struggling to eat steamed buns, but they can have hotpot every night."
Of course, this kind of envy will seem distorted in the eyes of a small number of people.
"Mimi, you see they must have made a lot of money with this stuff, and they are living such a comfortable life now. You shouldn't have let me give them the blueprint of the top-grade medicinal soup!"
"How many herbs have you used to research the Quhan Pills? I haven't seen anything come out of your research so far. Did other forums on the public screen say what research and development progress you've made since you started studying?"
Tang Xiaoyan was muttering to himself, looking very disappointed with his friend.
Tang Min ignored him, but he was just a talkative person and continued to chatter in this low pressure environment.
"There is no evidence on the public screen. Instead, it only proves that the blueprints given to you, a bunch of suckers, are definitely not in place!"
"It's okay for other game areas, they're free anyway, but you gave me the best medicinal soup!"
Tang Min had a sullen face as he fiddled with the prescription for the Quhan Pills.
And her uncle, as usual, was standing beside her in her house and walking around her, and all she could hear was Tang Xiaoyan's chattering.
"But what I made is Quhan Pills. I can't say there is something wrong with the prescription. I think the prescription must be correct, otherwise it would be impossible to make pills every time..."
Tang Min rubbed his eyebrows, feeling helpless towards his uncle who was completely ignorant.
"The fact that I was able to make the pill shows that the recipe she gave me was correct. I just don't know which step went wrong, causing the pill to fail to become a legendary pill. Is it because I didn't heat the pill well enough?"
"And uncle, take a good look at their own strength. It's their own ability that makes them so much money."
After saying that, Tang Min couldn't help but remind her uncle and said with a little sarcasm: "Why don't you raise some giant pandas like them?"
"Or if you can use their skills to make food and have the same values, then you still can't make money? We don't have the technology!"
After finishing his words, Tang Min didn't even bother to look at his uncle's changing expression.
The man was furious. He was very angry about his "increasingly rebellious" niece.
"Look at you! What a mess! Your mother told me to discipline you. Did I raise you just to let you talk about me like this?"
He angrily accused Tang Min, even his steps became heavier, and he glared at Tang Min who ignored him.
"Then I'm doing this for your own good! Now all the money has been earned by them, so what will we do if we have a place to use the gold coins?"
"What can I do? If I can't survive, I'll just wait to die!"
Tang Min couldn't help but complain again. With her personality, if she hadn't seen that her uncle had worked hard to raise her and protected her from being harmed by her rubbish biological father, she would have been in trouble.
Otherwise, he would have been punched out twice.
Tang Xiaoyan's only problem is that he likes to gossip and point fingers. He often says things against her in the name of good things, which is very annoying. It was okay when she was young, but it is a little difficult for Tang Min to accept it when she grew up.
Of course, it is undeniable that he tends to think about things more comprehensively and in the long term, and many times his worries are not completely groundless.
He treats his family members in the same way and likes to worry about them.
It was precisely because of this aspect of his character that he was willing to take Tang Min in and raise her personally after her mother passed away early.
To outsiders, this point of Tang Xiaoyan is a great benefit in terms of protecting Tang Min. Tang Min feels that she cannot enjoy Tang Xiaoyan's kindness while saying how bad he is.
"No, Mimi, let me tell you, this mentality of yours is unacceptable!"
When Tang Xiaoyan saw Tang Min's look as if he was ready to lie down and give up, he started to get anxious again.
"I've already told you not to worry, why are you in such a hurry? Are you some kind of anxious king?"
"It's the last solar term anyway. If we can survive, then survive. If we can't, then forget it. What's there to be anxious about?"
"Besides, maybe the big guys in the neighboring 001 territory will be able to clear the level by then and come back to life collectively, so we can just die! It will be enough if we are still alive then."
I have to say that, in a way, Tang Min has come into contact with the truth of the future.
However, after living together for so many years, Tang Min still knows how to make her uncle calm down so that he won't continue to chatter around.
It is nothing more than carefully analyzing the pros and cons, and showing that you have cognitive judgment and a positive attitude.
Maybe it was because after Tang Xiaoyan divorced his wife, he devoted himself to her and raised her, placing too many high hopes on her.
But Tang Min is not a player who likes to struggle. Her wish to lie down and be a parasite has existed since she came to Blue Star.
But it has never been realized.
Overnight
The next morning, Shu Lingyi was about to take his medicine with such skillful movements that it was heartbreaking. Unfortunately, before he could take the medicine, he received a reminder from the system.
[Shield HP reduced by 5%]
This is a power that some lords can set themselves. Fortunately, Shu Lingyi sometimes doesn't pay attention to this for other lords, so she simply adjusted the settings.
As long as the shield health drops by 5%, an automatic reminder will be issued.
You have to know that when there is heavy hail, the protective shield will only be reduced this much in one night!
But it seems that it has been more than one night since the beginning of Xiaohan, and the shield seems to have not been repaired for the past four or five days...
Shu Lingyi opened the interface of the protective shield and checked the information in it. The health of the protective shield was not much, because it was controlled at just over 5%, so it was still acceptable.
Shu Lingyi didn't think too much about it, he just repaired the protective shield casually, and now looked at the durability of his other furniture and other items.
The first one is of course the Siheyuan.
It’s okay if you don’t watch it, but once you do, it’s incredible!
The courtyard house actually lost three points of wear and tear overnight!
Many furniture and various props directly lost 50+ points of durability.
You have to know that these are basically things of legendary quality, and their durability has never dropped as much as it has when it was wet!
What’s even more exaggerated is that the rocking chair actually dropped by 100 points. As soon as I reached out and touched it, it shattered into pieces!
"What the hell? This is of legendary quality, okay?!"
Shu Ling saw that the broken ice fragments on the ground had exploded all over the ground, turned into stars and gradually disappeared from his sight.
Her favorite rocking chair!
This means that you clearly remember that your rocking chair still has 300 durability. How come it suddenly dropped by 100? It should still have 200. How come it suddenly disappeared? !
Anyway, Shu Lingyi couldn’t quite figure it out, but it didn’t matter, because she still had a lot of furniture anyway.
She checked the others, but there was nothing wrong with them, but the durability of most of them was still very high.
Many pieces of furniture were replaced with legendary quality items when the frost damage problem was discovered last time. They are still new. Even if they lose one or two hundred points of durability a day, they still have six or seven hundred points of durability.
The rocking chair was the only thing that had a very high durability at the time, so I didn't replace it, thinking that nothing would go wrong with its legendary quality.
Unexpectedly, it broke down so quickly!
When she went to the game area, she found that many players had encountered similar situations as her.
[I Wish You a Thousand Lights] District 9: "Are you bullying me because I haven't had time to replace my items with legendary ones? You already look down on this epic quality, don't you?"
[Time Passes] District 9: "I'm afraid you won't believe me, but this chair is of epic quality, just replaced yesterday, but its durability has dropped by 1/3 today! This is brand new! It can only last for three days!"
【The Miserable Demon】District 9: “This game is trying to kill us, right?”
[Dean Zhu who loves to eat soy milk fish] District 9: "These furniture are just microcosms of many buildings. The durability of those buildings is much higher than that of furniture. If the furniture lasts shorter and shorter, it means that both the protective shield and many buildings will soon have problems."
Even Luo Zhiqing couldn't help but speak on the public screen
【卿本芷若】District 9: "When I woke up, not only the furniture was broken, but also my textile machine, dryer and other small mobile tool tables were all scrapped and needed to be remade."
[Novel: Advanced Cancer Patient] District 1: "Oh my god! If the boss hadn't told us, we wouldn't have noticed."
After hearing what Luo Zhiqing said, many players working in production hurried to check their own workbenches.
Even Shu Lingyi was no exception. Many of her workbenches had lost their durability and were broken into pieces.
[Rainbow Dash] Area 9: "It's okay, it's okay. Nothing happened to my stove."
Yunbao's comment on the public screen was a rare lucky one, but if you look closely at the other restaurant owners in the game area, they also said that there were no problems with their stoves and other workbenches.
Zhong Qingwei also spoke on the public screen: "Mine is fine, but this is a forging table, which has very high temperature requirements, so it may be due to the high temperature..."
[So redundant] Area 9: "But the other iron smelting platform doesn't need high temperature, so its durability is not good enough to hold up."
[Yi Ling] District 9: "Yes! The only thing these two have in common is that they are kept at high temperatures most of the time, just like our fireplace has never had any problems, so the others are all frozen and damaged."
[Suspicion] District 9: "Maybe this is one of the disasters of Xiaohan. Frost damage is everywhere. Even we players will be the ones who are frozen to death because of the flu."
[Flowing Years] Area 9: "That can't be helped. Although the temperature of the fireplace can make the room warmer, we players can enjoy it, but these tool tables and furniture can't seem to enjoy much of the temperature of the fireplace. They can only keep themselves warm."
【Clouds and Fireworks Are People】District 6: "Well, it was so hard to replace all the furniture to 90% epic quality... It's not that easy to replace all of it to legendary quality!"
There are too many players who think the same as Yun Jianyan. They don't have any new income, but they have to keep spending...
The point is that right now - for several consecutive solar terms there has been no wood available for players to cut.
Those that are left will be used to repair various previously consumed buildings, and some of them will be used in furnaces, fireplaces, brick kilns, tile kilns and even coal stoves.
Otherwise, charcoal would not appear out of thin air, not to mention that high-quality charcoal can only be obtained by burning high-quality wood.
It makes me sad and cry just thinking about it.
[President Zhu who loves to eat soy milk fish] District 9: "Other furniture is fine, but it really won't work without a bed!"
【云间烟火是家人】District 6: "Poor guy really doesn't know what to do except cry. I guess the other furniture will be gone if it's gone. Just focus on the bed."
[Nine-meter-high General Attack] District 7: "Don't cry, I haven't even managed to unify all my furniture into an epic! When I woke up in the morning, everything in my house broke into pieces when I touched it!"
【梓卟语】District 9: “Well, well, well, it’s really miserable upstairs. In a flash, the house is empty.”
Waking up early this morning can be described as chaos, but with so many gaming areas many players have to replace everything in their homes with new ones.
[Yi Ling] District 9: "But I would like to give you a gentle reminder. Have you all taken your medicine? It's almost been 8 hours."
But the most shocking thing was Shu Lingyi's sudden reminder!
As soon as Shu Ling finished speaking, he quickly climbed back onto his bamboo bed, took a pill to dispel the cold, and began the torture.
[Serious Fat Baby] Zone 3: "Oh my gosh! I'm almost too late - no wonder I was wondering why it's getting colder and colder. I was already so shocked by the freezing accident that I can't tell which way is which. How could I forget such an important thing!"
[Nine-meter Eight General Attack] District 7: "I looked at the empty courtyard with bare walls, and I was the only one left who took the medicine and prepared to roll around on the bed."
[Luolanyi] District 16: "I can't even imagine how much I will look like a maggot crawling around in a courtyard, crawling in a dark and twisted manner!"
[Ye Xiaomeng] District 9: "After taking this medicine, everyone will be a dark and shady French fry."
Of course, what people say about rolling on the ground is definitely not true. Usually, people roll on the bed. If they were touching the ground, their bodies would quickly be corroded by the cold air that seeps in.
Soon the public screen became quiet because all the players started taking drugs.
About an hour later, all the players finally finished their torture time, and after taking a medicinal bath to relax their spirits, they returned to normal.
[Lying Bug] District 12: "This solar term lasts 30 days, and it seems like we've only made it through less than half of it, maybe a third? When I think about the fact that there are still two or three weeks left, I feel like I might as well not live like this."
It was really too cold these days and there was nothing meaningful to do outside. After all, there were no trees to cut down and no mines to dig. The most we could do was to deal with the frozen land in the territory.
Break the thin layer of ice on top, otherwise it will be too thick and it will be inconvenient for everyone to move.
The rest of the time when I have nothing to do, the most I do is visit my close friends and relatives.
Otherwise, in most cases, players have nowhere to go and might as well stay at home and chat with other players on the public screen.
Or as Shu Lingyi said before, practice boxing and martial arts at home to improve your physical fitness and adapt to wearing three layers inside and three layers outside in advance.
It is indeed obvious that as most of the furniture in the player's house was frozen, the demand for furniture and other props suddenly increased.
For example, experts in furniture making like [Zheyue Zhujiu] never thought that they would receive an order at the last minute.
【Zhe Yue Zhu Jiu】District 9: "Everyone wants something of legendary quality, but do you really think that legendary quality is free? Do you think it takes no time to make? No matter how hard you push me, I can't make so many——"
She can only guarantee that all products are of epic quality, but it is definitely impossible to ensure that all of them are of legendary quality.
Unless the material quality reaches a certain level, the probability will increase significantly.
[Lin Lanlan] District 9: "I was busy carving dragon pillars and painting phoenix beams just now, and now I have a new job. When the game is over, I will become a sculptor!"
Currently, players in [001 Territory] are the least anxious about the freezing crisis.
This is also due to the fact that most of the warehouses in the territory have super abundant inventory and can withstand the consumption of the players.
The previously stored materials were pieced together season by season and filled up countless independent warehouses.
Otherwise, even if you want to make it, you have no choice but to give up the materials. This is the case for players in several game areas.
The Nanhua Liushuang mulberry tree, which can be planted at the beginning of the Big and Small Snow solar terms, is one of the very important materials.
This plant is naturally suitable for growing in heavy snow, and its growing period is short, so you can plant a lot of it.
This is also one of the reasons why the avalanche in [001 Territory] is not particularly serious in comparison.
The snow-proof forest constructed by the Nanhua Frost Mulberry trees effectively alleviates the fear of snow avalanches.
However, the inventory of [001 Territory] is not enough for its own use. Even if Shu Lingyi provides assistance, he will give priority to players in the same game area.
Because when the beast tide comes, players in the same area will be able to become real fighting forces.
Therefore, it depends on how good the material is to be sold to other gaming areas - which is not much.
At this time, the players in Zone 5, who had usually been silent, suddenly showed up.
【Mi Zhishan】District 5: "I have a lot of wood here. Welcome to buy."
[Matrix] Area 5: "The Lord was wise enough to let us stockpile more wood."
[Luolanyi] District 16: "I remember you bought a lot of wood at the trading center before. You didn't plan to do this from the beginning, did you?"
When everyone flocks to the trading center, they can see the trading links posted by players from Zone 5 such as [Mi Zhishan].
[Tasaday] District 5: "You can buy it or not. If you don't want to buy, don't look at it. Anyway, you know whether you need this wood or not."
It turned out that there were many trees and jungles in Area 5, so there were a lot of rare woods in the territory warehouse, which happened to be the epic quality materials that were extremely useful for making furniture.
If used to make furniture, epic quality is guaranteed, and there is also a high probability of producing legendary quality.
No matter how much you don't want to get a full set of furniture, you still need at least the basic three-piece set of bed, table and chairs.
Especially in this winter, although the cloud-patterned black iron bricks on the courtyard's floor can block the invasion of cold air to a certain extent.
But if you really sleep on the floor with only a cushion, I guarantee you will be as cold as a Muggle the next day, and when you wake up in the morning you will probably be sick with the flu and waiting to die.
Because the legendary quality beds produced now can provide an additional protection against the cold, players can isolate themselves from the cold again in bed.
The courtyard is the first layer of protection, the bed is the second layer, the bedding and underwear are the third layer, and the Melo Pearl Cream is the fourth layer.
Only by stacking four layers of protection can you ensure that you will not be corroded by the cold.
In short, you may indeed be penniless, but no matter what - you can't be without a bed!
The players in Area 5 probably took notice of this point. They have a large amount of wood in their hands, and now they are selling it at a high price, directly raising the price.
Other territories don't have enough materials, and players have to buy these woods, so it depends on what they can offer for trading.
[Luolanyi] District 16: "Eat shit! You only have 10 pieces of this wood, and you want us to buy you an epic quality bed?!"
[Serious Fat Baby] District 3: "This is really typical. What's the difference between this and giving sperm and expecting the other person to give birth to a son for you?"
【梓卟语】District 9: "He could have robbed it, but he called it a trade. It made me laugh to death!"
[Matrix] Area 5: "What do you want? Anyway, we'll sell it at this price. If you want to trade, then trade. If not, forget it."
【Zhe Yue Zhu Jiu】District 9: “You guys think the things I make are too expensive, and you refuse to pay for them, and you keep asking me if I have a discount.”
Zheyue Zhujiu and other players suddenly checked their IDs and discovered this matter. After thinking about it for a while, they understood it.
These people think that the prices they sell to the outside world are too high, so they try to pass on the pressure of high prices.
They take advantage of the unique resources in their hands to make players from other game areas work for them for free.
[Tasaday] District 5: "No, if you have the guts, you can even not sell them. Anyway, we have this, so at worst we can make it ourselves. The worst that can happen is that the quality won't be as good as theirs."
This is a blatant conspiracy. The key is that other players have no way to resist it because they really need something like this!
【Mi Zhishan】District 5: "Of course, you can trade the Quhan Pills in another way. Go buy them and trade with us."
The tone of the people over there seemed to be condescending and alms-giving, which made other players unhappy, but the price of the cold-relieving pills was indeed slightly cheaper than the furniture...
[Dean Zhu who loves to eat soy milk fish] District 9: "Are you crazy? A bottle of 10 Quhan Pills can only buy 50 pieces of wood?!"
[Flowing Years] Area 9: "Now I have 5 pieces of wood and I want to trade for a legendary pill, which is a necessity."
