Chapter 866 The Beginning of the Great Cold (1)
[Yan Xingchen]: "After all, I'm still thinking about how to replace some of my furniture next."
[Ye Xiaomeng]: "Alas, who isn't? Otherwise, I would freeze to death all the time. I think I am numb. I have to change the furniture every morning when I wake up."
[Xue'er]: "I'm staying at home right now, sewing and mending clothes every day. It's so tiring."
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "That's right. The more you use the tool bench, the faster it breaks down. It's driving me crazy every minute!"
[Shisanyi]: "How can those bowls and chopsticks suddenly disappear when I'm eating? Now I have to be very careful with these items. If the durability is a little low, I dare not use them anymore. I just let them break down on their own."
Everyone already felt that there was no hope in these cold days, but what made people even more desperate was the new message sent by Rainbow Dash.
[Rainbow Dash]: "And by now, most of the fresh meat has been eaten."
[Yunbao]: "Only a very small number of high-level monsters drop meat, and some of it is still preserved. The rest is just smoked bacon and stewed meat."
Although it’s not that these things are inedible, and they taste delicious when cooked, people are just more interested in fresh things.
However, there has been no impact on me for these days and I have been just eating and eating. The fact that I have been able to hold out for so long means that I have quite sufficient inventory.
[Yi Ling]: "You've worked so hard. If there's nothing left, then forget it. Anyway, there's only a dozen days left. Save some high-quality meat, it might come in handy."
Shu Lingyi was calm. If pushed to the limit, the worst that could happen was that she would just kill those low-level pets in the farm, which were all raised by her father. What else could she do?
Originally everyone was chatting in their own game area until a message broke the atmosphere.
【Qing Ben Zhi Ruo】District 9: "Then there is another good news today, that is, a set of armor has finally been produced in its entirety!"
【Qing Ben Zhi Ruo】District 9: "After so many days of hard work adjusting the production methods and processes of these materials, we will be able to start mass production in the next 5 days."
[Xin Jing]: "I said before that I would make a strengthened Thunderbolt Cannon, but now I have nothing to show for it. However, after adding the Gengjin Stone, the effect of the Thunderbolt Cannon is still a little worse."
[Zi Bu Yu]: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, please come and let me see what the breastplate looks like!"
Rather than the Thunderbolt Cannon, everyone is more curious about what the armor set that can fully arm a person looks like.
The entire set of armor is divided into four positions, among which the head, neck and feet are considered to be one. Although this algorithm is a bit strange, it is probably to prevent the person from being top-heavy.
The trinity of helmet, collar and iron boots can provide players with all-round enhancements.
In addition to the breastplate, the upper body also has shoulder guards, shoulder guards, and waist guards, which respectively give the upper body stronger defense and immunity, and the waist position will be strengthened.
The skirt armor protects the lower part of the body and when combined with the armored boots can increase the combat effectiveness, strength and agility of the legs.
As for the arms, everyone knows that a set of them meets an additional requirement, that is, the blood volume is doubled, and the defense value will naturally double as well.
"When I put this on, I'm like a deadly weapon!"
Shu Ling put on all the equipment and tried it out. It turned out that even without any weapons, he could easily blast the entire ground into a crack with just this set of equipment.
She stood at the door and kicked the icy ground twice. Looking at the condition of the ground, she could roughly guess the bonus brought by the whole set of armor.
This armor is really useful. The buff added by combining it with the suit is really powerful. It can protect the face when paired with a visor, and then put a heart guard on the chest.
The function of this heart-protecting mirror is to provide a shield that can be used to resist fatal attacks.
After putting on this suit, players almost feel like they are a transformed mecha, so majestic!
"Mecha - the ultimate romance for men!"
Everyone is very excited, but this requires countless materials to produce.
However, because of the preliminary preparations and everyone's proficiency, a considerable number of products were produced in just one afternoon and evening.
[Lin Lanlan] District 9: "I thought I had to snatch the breastplate when it was on sale, but you tell me I can't afford it?!"
Looking at the expensive price, many players shed tears.
This is still considered cheap in Game Zone 9, but it is even more expensive in the server-wide trading center.
【Qing Ben Zhi Ruo】District 9: "Originally, only the last ingredients and steps were missing. The other ingredients were gathered early, so the production speed was very fast and the quantity was large."
【Jun Nian and An】9th District: "Rest assured, quality and quantity guaranteed, absolutely worth the money!"
[Ye Xiaomeng] District 9: "But this 100,000 gold coins is really too expensive. The other armor parts are very cheap."
[Cang Sheng Ta Ge] District 9: "It doesn't matter. If you can't afford it, you can go and do some handicrafts with Brother Lin or others to make money. Anyway, furniture and other things are very popular now, and it's very profitable."
[Have you completed the continuous tasks?] District 9: "Stop talking. I'm tired of carving dragons and painting phoenixes. I don't want to do them anymore."
Lin Jiaer was really about to vomit, because the Siheyuan would constantly lose its degree of wear and tear. Compared with other material synthesis, carved dragon pillars and painted phoenix beams were the most obvious ways to reduce the wear and tear of the Siheyuan.
In the previous solar terms, enough golden nanmu trees were planted and the stock was definitely sufficient, so it was this group of people who would suffer.
The pillars carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes were made together. Every day when I wake up, I face this pillar. I was amazed at the beginning, but now I am tired of it.
[Yi Ling] District 9: "Alright, alright, go take a shower and go to bed. Tomorrow won't be a good day."
Everyone had gotten used to this kind of life until they woke up the next morning.
[February 26, 3103, 7:32, severe cold, today's lowest temperature is -83°, force 5 gale, strong cold wave is coming, hail and snow are falling endlessly, clouds are floating and covering the sky. The cold air is corroding, the flu is aggravating the risk of disease, and the risk of frost damage is numerous.]
After finishing his daily torture, Shu Ling collapsed on the bed, gradually coming to his senses, and then looking back at the weather forecast.
It was already 7:30, and the sky outside was still gray and covered with thick clouds, with almost no sunlight.
"Is it going to snow again?"
Shu Lingyi was a little confused. The weather forecast actually had the cultural sense to add two lines of poetry. They looked familiar... and he seemed to have some impression of them.
It seems to be a poem by Qu Yuan.
The players in the public screen happened to check the weather forecast at this point, and this started a new round of discussion.
[Fireworks in the Clouds Are Home] District 6: "Does anyone know what that poem means? It scared me so much so early in the morning that I am embarrassed to go out."
Everyone was a little confused. This poem is indeed not very famous, but it is not unknown either. It’s just that it was not learned in the nine years of compulsory education.
Well, for most players, they have not learned it or have only mentioned it briefly in their later studies, so they will have forgotten it over time.
Shu Lingyi racked his brains for a long time before he finally retrieved the poem from his memory.
"This is Qu Yuan's "She Jiang". The meaning of this poem is probably to describe the heavy snow falling and the dark clouds covering the sky."
"Oh! So that's what you mean. That's quite consistent with the current situation! It's just a little strange that it's raining..."
Now that this meaning is understood, some people think that this should not be dangerous, and the poem is most likely purely describing the current situation.
[Matrix] Zone 5: "You can definitely go out and shovel snow. I wonder if there will be any snow water harvested."
No one paid attention to him, but there were many players who shared the same idea as him, including a brave man like [Zi Bu Yu].
She was full of action and went out to try it without thinking.
【Ziboyu】Zone 9: “Fuck, this snow is going to explode, sisters!”
[The Miserable Demon] Area 9: "What the hell? You said the snow would explode. Are you serious?"
Many players were so scared that they looked outside, but they saw that Xiao Xiaoxue didn't show any signs of exploding.
【Clouds and Fireworks Are Others】District 6: "It shouldn't be serious, right? Nothing will explode upstairs, right?"
【Zi Bu Yu】Zone 9: "Nothing happened to me because of the explosion. I quickly retreated back to the house. I didn't lose any health, but the affected parts of my body were a little numb."
After hearing what she said, other players also became curious about the exploding snow: How exaggerated! I want to see it for myself!
As a result, many players, including Shu Lingyi, became curious. They put on their equipment and bravely stepped out of their homes.
Sure enough, within a few steps out of the door, the players were blown away by the falling snow beans.
Every time these snow peas come into contact with the player, they explode like a small white spark, a fleeting beauty.
As for the pain, it was just as described by [Zi Bu Yu], it would only make the body feel slightly tingling.
It doesn't deduct health from the health bar, and it's not uncomfortable. Even the armor doesn't lose much durability. It's really fun.
However, some players felt something was not right and instead of continuing to go out, they quickly retreated back and stayed inside the house.
Shu Lingyi was one of these cautious players, but as soon as she retreated back to the courtyard, she was ridiculed by her classmate Xiao Ai.
[Why don't you continue? Go on, you're not feeling well, right?]
When seeing Xiao Ai's words of watching the fun without minding any trouble, it seemed that she was fully expecting Shu Ling to become a dead person.
Shu Lingyi felt that it was indeed a wise move for her to retreat!
Naturally, because of this, she kindly reminded everyone on the public screen not to be so bold and to be cautious.
[Suspicion] District 9: "I risked being bombed and went out to take a look at the snow. It's not real snow. It's probably sleet, as the poem says."
"Hailue is a type of solid precipitation, not snow. It usually only appears before a blizzard, when the temperature is above -40°C. Therefore, there are several strange things about this sleet—"
"Because on the Blue Planet, sleet will definitely not explode. It is a kind of solid precipitation that has not completely solidified, but is somewhat solidified. Therefore, in some places, it is called snow peas or rice snow. Each small grain is very soft."
【Zi Bu Yu】Zone 9: "So this sleet is not that sleet?"
[Suspicion] District 9: "I roughly studied it, and this hail is actually very similar to the normal appearance on Blue Star. When I reached out my hand just now, it was still in an incompletely solidified state. It's just that after I squeezed it, the hail exploded, and the damage was greater than when I first touched it."
[Suspicion] She crawled back to the house in a somewhat awkward manner and analyzed the situation with the players on the public screen. Because she pinched two grains of hail, she lost 200 points of blood after the explosion, and her fingers were vaguely painful.
Compared to the small explosion at the beginning, the damage was at least three or four times greater!
[Flowing Years] Area 9: "If you crush it, the explosion will cause more damage? It shouldn't be fatal..."
【梓堟语】9th District: "I tried to come back because I was too lazy. It was indeed uncomfortable. I only lost 1/20 of my health."
[Zi Bu Yu] is not ordinary. She pinched the enemy as soon as she went out and drained 2,000 points of blood in one breath.
【Fireworks in the Clouds Are Others】District 6: “So this hail and snow must have some hidden dangers.”
Shu Lingyi also thought so, and then she began to urge Xiao Ai frantically in her heart.
[Shotgun, do you know what a shotgun is? Now it's just a change from shotgun shells to shotgun snow. ]
"Shotgun? Good boy, a direct mutation and combination, huh?"
"The damage of a shotgun is not low. So the damage of the shotgun seems small now only because some of its hidden trigger modes have not yet fully erupted..."
The more he thought about it, the more Shu Ling could predict the horror of this hail.
As a result, before Shu Lingyi had to remind the players how to avoid it, some players who were looking for death were messing around outside and successfully got themselves seriously injured.
The players from Zone 5 are the best examples.
[Matrix] Area 5: "I never thought he could do so much damage. I don't even know why the guy outside did two robot dances and nothing happened."
[Matrix] Area 5: "I just pinched a little bit when I raised my hand, how could it blow me up like this?! I almost became paralyzed. Luckily I wasn't too far from home, otherwise I would have been blown to death if I stayed a little longer!"
[Tasaday] Area 5: "Is this snow so dangerous? It sounded okay just now."
[Time Passes] District 9 "I knew this game had bad intentions..."
【Doraemon Dodo】Zone 6: "Then it's better for everyone not to go out unless necessary. After all, if you crush it, there will be a greater risk of explosion. So does stepping on the hail count? Will there be an explosion? Will there be additional damage? These are all possible."
[Duzhou] District 16: "What the above person said makes sense. I suspect that the guy who did the robot dance used the three-in-one combination of contact, crushing, and stomping. The hailstorm started with small explosions and piled up a lot, so it exploded directly!"
[Yiling] District 9: "Hail, this isn't shotgun snow, is it?!"
With this unlucky player, Shu Lingyi finally found an excuse to tease him, and under the guise of teasing, he revealed some of the secrets.
[Dean Zhu who loves to eat soy milk fish] District 9: "Oh my god! This is too dangerous. It's better for everyone not to do this. Anyway, there is nothing that requires us to go out right now."
As soon as President Zhu finished speaking, he was refuted by [Suspicion].
[Suspicion] District 9: "Although - I still have to tell you, although sleet is not snow, it is a form of solid precipitation, but if you let it accumulate, the snow piles formed by sleet are most likely to cause avalanches."
[Suspicion] Area 9: "Because it is relatively loose, especially in places like slopes, avalanches are inevitable."
[Duzhou] District 16: "What the above person means is that we have to shovel the hail even if we don't want to, and we have to be blown up by the hail even if we don't want to, right?"
【The Sorrowful Demon】Zone 9: "Teacher Xu means that it's either an avalanche or an explosion. You have to choose one."
【Xin Jing】9th District: "But if the player wears a full set of armor and a raincoat, with a shield in hand, I think it might be better."
After all, this hail explosion has no negative buff. If it doesn't work, you can just bring some top-quality medicine soup and replenish your blood in time.
Originally, Shu Lingyi's idea was similar to that of this player: just stay at home, at least don't require most players to go out to shovel snow.
After all, it is too dangerous. I didn't expect there would be such a hidden danger. Fortunately, I have complete armor now, and I also have props such as raincoats and shields to assist.
I think it won't be difficult for players to deal with sleet. Even if something happens, they can definitely save their lives.
[Zi Bu Yu]: "There's nothing to panic about. In the game, even if you lose your arms and legs, you can heal them back!"
Shu Lingyi felt that he could set an example and start shoveling snow first.
For example, stand at the door of the house first to avoid stepping on the sleet, and use a tempered snow shovel to shovel the sleet under the eaves, leaving a small place to step on.
When Shu Lingyi started to act in this way, he found that the hail and snow that was shoveled up would actually explode inside the shovel!
Although the durability of the tempered snow shovel is extremely strong, the explosion will consume the durability of the tempered snow shovel. Fortunately, it has no effect on other aspects of it.
The exploding hail and snow were indeed not friendly to the durability of this tempered snow shovel, so Shu Ling shoveled the hail and snow around the door of his house.
Using this step-by-step method can help you avoid stepping on the hail and snow, which will not cause an explosion, will not hurt yourself and is safe.
It is a bit time-consuming, but for current players, they have nothing to do anyway, and the last thing they lack is time.
"It looks like they're going to have to mass-produce snow shovels. In the past, one shovel of this thing could shovel out so much blood, but now I suspect it will be scrapped after a day."
It turned out that not many hardened snow shovels were consumed during the entire snow season.
It’s different now. There’s frost damage in front and exploding hail and snow behind, which can easily take away the life of a shovel.
"But can we also drink the snow water that is transformed from the hail?"
Shu Ling went to look at the pot of snow water transformed from the quenched snow shovel with confidence.
Because the sleet is quite fluffy and it had been falling for so long, the snow water she shoveled out was not even enough to fill a pot.
[Snow Water: A type of snow water that cannot be used for drinking, but it has the effect of strengthening weapons, making them more destructive and with a larger damage range.]
After reading these details, Shu Ling kept exclaiming, "Wow!"
This thing goes perfectly with that Gengjin Stone!
Other players also learned about the details of this shotgun snow water and immediately became interested.
The weapon masters in the game area are of course the most interested. No matter what, they would take a part first to try out what effect the weapon can produce after the two are superimposed.
【Xin Jing】Zone 9: “I think it will work if I fuse it into my Thunderbolt Cannon!”
[So redundant] Area 9: "Ordinary weapons should be easier to add. Let me try."
[Time Passes] Area 9: "I'll try strengthening my other dagger, maybe I'll get something unexpected?"
Just when Shu Lingyi thought he would hear some good news, he actually received information that the weapon master's first experiment had failed.
[So redundant] District 9: "There must be some specific way to unlock its combination, otherwise it wouldn't fail for no reason."
Zhong Qingwei was a little puzzled by his first failure, but he was not discouraged.
Other players also wanted to practice collecting shotgun snow water in the same way as Shu Lingyi.
This thing looks like a solar term limited material, and it may be possible to collect it within these five days.
It would be great to use it to strengthen your weapons when the time comes!
Of course, not everyone is as fully armed as Shu Lingyi, and it also requires the player to have extremely strong inner strength.
After leaving the courtyard, the five-level gale outside blew the sleet and snow all over the place, which was also dazzling.
It's just that it doesn't block people's vision as much as during the light snow and heavy snow seasons, but it is still a little bit, and the shotgun snow situation is abnormal, so you will be blown up if you are not careful.
The players who were previously leisurely and relaxed suddenly felt uneasy.
The first two days were fine, the power of the explosion could have been avoided as long as we were careful.
You just need to bend down a little, then gently shovel the snow in front of you to form a foothold, and then move forward little by little.
Even though it is a bit tiring, it is still doable. In addition, shotgun blast and snow water have a good value bonus, so many players are tempted.
It’s just that some people are lazy and don’t want to do it.
【Mi Zhishan】Zone 5: "What avalanche? It's obvious that the snow won't be heavy, and even if it is heavy, it's easy to shovel. Why do you worry about it? Why do you have to shovel it?"
[Matrix] Area 5: "Yes, it's so dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll get seriously injured. Staying in the courtyard is protected by a shield. What can go wrong? Why do you have to go out and suffer?"
[Tasaday] District 5: "It's just alarmist talk! You want us to beg you to buy tools and that premium medicinal soup, or something like that, just to find an excuse to boost consumption!"
