Chapter 857 The Beginning of Minor Cold (3)
It’s different in Area 5, they only have one large territory and no players need rescue, so naturally there’s no need for rescue.
The first day was quite busy, and Xingluoluo Caihong and the others somehow managed to survive for another day.
According to normal calculations, if Shu Ling and his companions did not help him clear the hail mountain, the courtyard could only last until noon on the first day of Xiaohan, and that was already the limit.
As it turned out, on the second day of Minor Cold, the weather forecast was exactly as [Suspicion] said. The temperature only dropped by two degrees, and there was no extreme change.
At most, the drizzle continued to fall, making the huge hailstones that had not been cleared yet even more solid and difficult to melt. It took a while to break them even with an ice breaker.
In some game areas, rescue operations were delayed and many players froze to death in the first two days.
Only the No. 9 game area of Shulingyi was doing relatively well, with the number of people dropping by only over 200. The other over 9,000 people were still alive and well, and didn't even have any serious illnesses.
In other game areas, not only did nearly one or two thousand people suffer casualties, but most of the players were more or less infected with a mild flu buff.
A mild flu will cause a runny nose and may slightly trigger rhinitis.
As long as you keep exercising and take some medicine, it seems to be able to dissipate. Shuying also noted: "Remember not to catch a cold in the next few days, there are no other restrictions."
But in Shu Lingyi's words: "It's good to be alive. As long as you are alive, there is still a chance to make amends."
For example, as long as they can pay the gold coins, the pharmacy in [001 Territory] will have all kinds of medicines, and any disease can be treated remotely (of course, only simple ones can be treated, and complex ones that require human intervention are not possible).
[Yi Ling] District 9: "No way, we can't cross the zone, otherwise Ms. Shuying will refresh her title of the holy hand who saves the whole server!"
Of course, every game area has a small group of players who are very damnable, just like those people like [Xingluoluo Caihong] on Shu Lingyi's side. They always think that they can just hold on until the new solar term, even though they have suffered a great loss last night.
But Shu Lingyi didn't manage or restrict them at that time, so no one knew how these people got a batch of materials and managed to survive.
Meng Wan also had a group of annoying guys on her side, and now there were more than a hundred players working together to commit crimes.
But no matter what they thought, with the cold wind and drizzle, the hail mountain outside their courtyard would only become more solid.
The courtyard was firmly trapped inside. If he couldn't find a way to help like he did yesterday, he might still die today.
It turned out that during the last two days of the winter solstice, these players treated Shu Lingyi, Meng Wan and others with great hostility. Shu Lingyi still remembered the words he saw when he just regained his sight.
[Mongolian monster who likes tiger-striped dogs] District 9: "I want to see how long you can hold out!"
These people were trapped to death in the courtyard. The one they got yesterday was also a lucky find. Now Meng Wan started to target them, and Shu Lingyi even agreed and exposed all their previous actions.
Suddenly, these players didn’t even have time to regret or cry, and no one was willing to lend them a helping hand.
[Dora Mi Dodo] District 6: "It turns out these people were just trying to trick me last night? I was so kind that I bought a batch of materials for them!"
A woman was lying on the bed. Her face did not look very good, with a sickly pale complexion.
The burly man beside her held her hand nervously, "Duoduo, don't get yourself hurt by being angry. It's good that we know about this now. Block them! We won't let them take advantage of us!"
"Hehe, I'm fine. Don't be too nervous. The good thing has already been taken away by others. There's nothing we can do about it."
Even [Xingluo Luo Caihong], [Guanqing Shifu] and others wanted to ask players from other game areas to help them, as long as they were willing to sell materials.
It's a pity that the good thing Shu Lingyi did yesterday to make money received a new round of feedback today.
In the entire game area, and even in the entire server, so many players have received favors from Shu Lingyi. How could they turn around and stab their benefactor?
These selfish and cowardly people were at the critical moment of life and death and could not get help from others. It would have been said that [Xingluolu Rainbow] could have fooled them with his own methods before.
But now it completely fell apart, and they began to fight among themselves and attack each other.
However, no one has taken to the public screen to make a fuss, and most people are sending private messages to curse.
[Bear Cub]: "If it weren't for you! You still fooled us into thinking that it would be okay to do this, and that we would definitely survive. At that time, I told you to give in to Yi Ling and the others!"
The wear and tear level of his courtyard house had reached 97, with cracks everywhere, and ice fragments falling from the cracks as it was crumbling.
The coldness rushed in, and they could only clearly realize that they were heading towards death.
[Xingluoluo Caihong]: "You were fooled by a moron like me, so who are you? The most moron among morons, right? You yourself are not a good person. If you were a really good person, would you bother asking me for help? Players would have come to save you long ago."
[Yifanxuan]: "Fuck you, if you hadn't emphasized many times that everything would be fine once the new solar term came, and we could ask you for help then, you would have painted a big picture for us. You should be quite good at painting such a picture in this industry. Now you can't paint any more pictures, and you still can't let me scold you."
[Master Guanqing]: "Stop arguing, it's so embarrassing, just try outside anyway."
[Winter Wind]: "Yeah, your best mission is the one I wanted to take for retail."
It was even thought that after some players living under the same roof died, they would just start hacking each other with knives.
【十三夷】: "This dog-eat-dog drama is really something I never get tired of watching."
【Xin Jing】: "Who isn't?"
But there is also a slightly different plot, where someone begins to apologize to Meng Wan in endless regret.
[Gemini 11, me 22]: "I was possessed by the devil at that time. I should have saved you. So please give us a chance to live and stop making things difficult for us!"
[Gemini 11, me 22]: "I will never say anything bad about you again, it's all my fault, please spare us this time, save us, as long as we get out alive we will join your territory immediately!"
[Agree or not]: "Please save me! I only need a little bit of materials. My courtyard house has a wear and tear level of 99! Even a brick or a dragon-carved pillar will do! I really regret that I persuaded him to save your someone, and I really didn't have anything to help you at that time..."
[Winter Wind]: "I really don't want to die... I know you are all kind, we didn't understand before, we have been punished, save me..."
[Yi Ling]: "Get lost."
[Mongolian beast who likes tiger-striped dogs]: "Oh, I don't care anymore."
The only response they got was Shu Lingyi's "Get lost". Meng Wan followed Shu Lingyi's example and decisively refused and blocked and deleted the information.
These people immediately became angry and humiliated. In their opinion, they had already been so humble and begged for mercy, but these people actually refused to take the opportunity.
[Winter Wind]: "You guys, you just want us to die, right? How vicious..."
Before this, he had been causing trouble only in his own game area. After finding that begging was ineffective, he finally put his evil ideas on the public screen of the game area of all servers.
They chose to go to the public screen and start shouting loudly and spreading rumors at will, even though they had already been exposed once before by Shu Lingyi.
But there are always some "wise guys" who like conspiracy theories and always feel that there is something hidden.
Now the counter-accusation by [Xingluoluo Caihong] and others made them reach a climax!
[Winter Wind] District 9: "Don't buy anything from District 9 anymore, these people are profiting from the blood of others!"
[Xingluoluo Caihong]: "These things we sell are all made with the help of advanced technology. They taste delicious now and you will want to eat more after eating them. By then, you will be addicted to their things! I can only obediently send them messages, props, and materials!"
The false accusations were made up without any preparation.
Besides, the quarrel was just in the game area behind the scenes. Although they couldn't produce any so-called evidence, [001 Territory] and Meng Wan and others couldn't produce any chat records to prove right or wrong!
If there is an information gap between the two parties, there will be opportunities to exploit loopholes!
[Master of Observation] District 9: "We just can't stand it anymore, so we decided to kindly remind you not to be fooled. They want to silence us, and we will definitely die soon - because these people will not let me go!"
[Gemini 11, I am 22] District 9: "I hesitated for a long time. They were threatening us with our lives, so I couldn't send a message to tell you. But after thinking about it, I decided that instead of living in frustration, I might as well help you!"
[Xingluoluo Rainbow]: "Although we are not good people, we still want to do good things before we die."
These people just chose the right time, because the courtyard house itself was on the verge of collapse at any time.
If I can't live, I'll drag you down with me to suffer after I die!
【星罗罗彩虹】Not long after the messages sent out by the group, some were deleted by the system within a minute, while the others were deleted within three to five minutes!
After many bystanders saw this incident, Dunshi was shocked: the information was wiped out by the system and could not be seen. Wasn’t this just like what they said, everyone died soon! ?
So - is it really because he exposed certain people's secrets that he died?
【Lying Bug】District 12: "Is what these people said true? I was so scared that my hands were shaking, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in my hand didn't smell good anymore."
[Nine-meter Eight General Attacks] District 7: "This is fake, it has been certified by the system, how can it be said that there are some messy ingredients in it that can kill people."
【Dora Mi Dodo】Zone 6: "He died just a few minutes after he spoke. It's obvious that he was not going to survive and he deliberately framed me."
[Matrix] Area 5: "These people are really dead! That's dozens of lives! They just finished speaking and their speech was erased!"
【Mi Zhishan】Zone 5: "This is normal. They spoke out and hindered certain people, so it is normal for them to die. Combined with what he said, death is irrefutable evidence!"
The public screen was in a mess, with many players holding different opinions and naturally starting to argue.
Originally, the players of [001 Territory] had no intention of explaining anything. After all, this was obviously a pure scam, and some players had already seen through the secret.
But who could have thought that such an idiot could actually appear in more than a dozen districts, and it was the only territory in game area No. 5, where everyone from the lord to the players below were "smart people".
It really opened Shu Lingyi and the others' eyes.
【Mi Zhishan】District 5: "I know that few of the players who survive to the end are good people. Those who do such good deeds right from the start probably have ulterior motives."
【Mi Zhishan】District 5: "It's a pity that all the players in the three small game areas in Game Zone 9 have been fooled."
[Tasaday] District 5: "What a bunch of liars. Oh, I heard that those territories seem to be ruled by women? Women have long hair but little knowledge, that's it."
【十三夷】District 9: "Is the player from District 5 above crazy? His brain isn't working well, why don't you just send it back to the furnace and rebuild it? Oh - the recycling furnace shouldn't want this kind of hazardous waste."
As soon as Su Ranran opened her mouth, she knew what was going on and started to greet the person involved directly.
【Mi Zhishan】District 5: "Speaking evil words! I doubt the character of people like this. I think all of them in this district are of bad character. They are lucky to be alive now. We in the gaming district will not buy their stuff."
【十三夷】District 9: "It's up to you to buy or not, who cares about you? Don't cry and beg us to sell the things to you later."
There are many people on the public screen talking to players in [Territory 001] and Game Area 9. The things they sell are all certified by the system. You are more observant than the system, right?
The values of other people’s products look good, and they are good for your health. Isn’t it normal to add some technology to make them more effective?
Who on the Blue Planet hasn't enjoyed some technological advancement? Why can't we get any now? !
After a series of questions, the people in Game Zone 5 could only make harsh remarks, saying that they would never buy anything from Game Zone 9, and would never sell their own things to players in Game Zone 9.
[Xingluoluo Rainbow] After the termites died, the number of survivors in the Shulingyi game area dropped to 9563.
[Thirteen Barbarians]: "It's really unlucky that these idiots took up the quota."
[Cloud Pattern]: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Although the weather is extremely cold now, there are no major destructive problems. Without the hail, these small rains will not freeze, so I think we can go back to our old business of planting."
[Luo Yi who loves potato sauce soup]: "This is great! We can plant two or three more rounds with those seeds!"
【Flowing Years】: "I remember that the seeds that were harvested said they could be planted below -70 degrees Celsius. Now it's -55 degrees Celsius. If we don't plant them now, there will be no chance."
[What a big cabbage]: "Yes, that is a seed of legendary quality. If you plant it for a day or two, you can harvest a batch of staple food. Don't waste it."
So Wang Wenwen led everyone to start reclaiming farmland again. White yaks like Tianzhu have their own way of surviving extreme weather, which is much better than players.
"Tianzhu's fur is so long that he's almost turned into a fur ball. The same goes for Tianming."
Shu Ling smiled and said, Wang Wenwen will select the pets that are more cold-resistant to plow the fields, and then Qi Xuanze will naturally take Zhang Tianlin to clean the drainage ditch.
"A little rain is good, it will help us clean up, and it won't freeze easily, and we'll have a source of water."
"I plan to plant all the seeds I have as soon as possible, mainly staple food, and then store them as dry food so that we can eat until the end of the next solar term."
[Xiaoyao Butterfly] thought about planting them together. He also had some legendary medicinal herb seeds in his hands. Although there were similar medicinal herbs in the warehouse, it was always a good thing to stock up more.
The public screen is now nearly ten times more lively than before. In the past, there were only about 10,000 people on the public screen at most, and most of the time it was not even enough.
But when Xiaohan came, the situation was completely different. Now, in the sixteen game areas on the public screen, even though many people had died, it was estimated that there were still nearly 130,000 to 140,000 people.
After the first day of rescue operations, everyone searched through the huge hailstones and collected the blueprints for two more pieces of the mysterious armor.
However, among these two items, one is the blueprint of iron armor boots and the other is the blueprint of falcon tail.
Although the neighboring territory can also produce iron boots, it is better to have it in your own territory. As for the falcon tail blueprint, it is a set of armor skirt parts.
Together with the vertical edge (on the sides of the legs, waist and hips), the trousers (in front of the waist, abdomen and legs), and the falcon tail (on the hips and legs), it is connected and fixed to the waist guard of the breastplate (similar to a belt) to form a complete set of armor skirt.
"The falcon tail protects the buttocks, and the trousers protect the crotch. However, the structure of this is really good. It is loose enough but can provide full protection."
Shu Lingyi was the first to try on the first batch of three-piece armor and skirt sets. Wearing a pair of long johns or a pair of super cotton pants inside didn't affect him at all.
Luo Zhiqing looked at the armor series and asked curiously, "What about the stats? The increase is for the legs, right?"
"right."
[Armor: Increases strength by 20%, critical hit rate by 60%. ]
[Vertical Edge: Increases strength by 20%, speed by 30%. 】
[Falcon Tail: Increases defense by 50%, health by 30%. ]
[Armor Skirt (33): Leg speed increase: 25%, leg damage reduction: 30%. ]
"I feel super strong!" Shu Lingyi already had an almost complete set at this time. After all, there were other parts produced in other game areas.
"But the stronger the armor's amplification becomes, the more I feel that the cold snap of this solar term won't be that simple."
"It doesn't matter. If we work together, we will definitely survive to the end and pass the level."
Luo Zhiqing smiled, as if she was not too worried.
"Aren't you worried that if we fail, Blue Planet will explode?"
"With Yi Yi here, we can definitely survive. Yi Yi is so strong!" Luo Zhiqing's exaggerated description made Shu Ling laugh.
"Then I'll take advantage of the European Emperor's good words and get the blessing buff from the Chosen Lady. I think I can do it again!"
As the two were joking, Shu Lingyi received a new message from Qi Xuanze.
[His Majesty Nan]: "The heating coal stove should be put to use. Once it is turned on, the temperature inside the entire territory will be 2 to 3 degrees higher than the temperature outside the protective shield."
[His Majesty Nan]: "This way, the drizzle is less likely to freeze, and it also gives us one more day to plant crops."
[Yi Ling]: "This solar term will last for another 30 days. I don't know if this honeycomb coal can last that long."
Nowadays, there are almost no coal mines left to dig. Although they will be refreshed, Su Ranran said that the refresh time will be longer and the number of coal mines will also be greatly reduced.
[Yi Ling]: "Everyone, summarize the items you need to keep warm, and arrange the amount when the time comes. Try to be careful not to overuse them, otherwise you will run out of them when the hardest time comes."
[Yi Ling]: "Besides, it can be refreshed again after such a long time. Although the coal mine is not much, it is better than nothing."
After processing coal into honeycomb coal, its efficiency in all aspects can be maximized and there will be no waste at all.
Other territories do not have the blueprints for honeycomb coal, and do not understand how to make it, so they cannot utilize coal mines as efficiently as they should.
After seeing the utilization rate of Shu Lingyi and the others, he exclaimed that he was being too wasteful!
[Mongolian Beast who likes tiger-striped dogs]: "Hello, Boss Yi, can we choose to ask for help? For example, can we sell the coal ore to you and let you process it?"
[You You]: "Yes, Lord Meng Wan and I have the same idea. How about you take 20% of the honeycomb briquettes as your reward? If fire crystals are needed, we can also provide them all."
Because they didn't know anything about honeycomb briquettes, the two territories' stocks were all filled with coal ore. After confirming the synthesis ratio of honeycomb briquettes and coal ore, they each delivered 20,000 coal ore at once.
[Yang Liu Yi Yi] is responsible for production and synthesis. You can get 6000 honeycomb coal and 20% of the honeycomb coal as reward, which is 1200 honeycomb coal.
The remaining 4800 honeycomb coals were divided equally and then returned to their three territories. You know, 80% of the honeycomb coals she returned were more useful than all the coal mines she had given them before.
However, since she started this business, other gaming areas have also heard of it.
[Lying Bug] District 12: "I heard from Lord You You that one piece of honeycomb coal produced in your territory is equivalent to 30 pieces of coal ore. With such a high utilization rate, why don't we give some to you to help us process it!"
[Luolanyi] District 16: “This is a good idea!”
So Shu Lingyi did nothing himself, and got several more orders, which he gave all to Yang Liu Yiyi.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Yiyi." Shu Lingyi was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Yang Yi didn't expect that she would have to work overtime at this time, but it was always good to have work to do, and it was also what she was most familiar with.
Shu Lingyi also took the opportunity to ask about the other parts of the mysterious armor on the public screen.
