Chapter 372 The Distance of the Volcanic Eruption
[The beast tide will continue tomorrow. It won't dissipate so easily. You have to wait until the disaster comes. Then the disaster will eliminate all the monsters for you.]
"This sounds a bit scary. It's scary to hear this late at night."
Shu Ling turned over and began to feel sleepy. Although he had a question in his mind, he couldn't muster the energy to ask it.
She has to go to bed early and get up early to stay in good condition so that she can continue fighting.
Let’s think about it tomorrow morning.
On the third night of Grain in Ear, the air was a little hotter than the dark night of yesterday.
The groundwater became increasingly turbulent, and some even began to make gurgling sounds.
It’s a pity that the players couldn’t hear it.
The strange movements in the mountains are still continuing, and from the places farthest from the two territories, monsters are still coming continuously, forming subsequent beast tides.
These only happen at night, and when you wake up the next day, only a few clues will be left, waiting for the player to discover.
"Hmm...it's only, 6:10 now? It's a bit early."
As soon as Shu Ling woke up, she looked at her stats. After eating like that yesterday, her stats had gone up a lot.
July 13, 3102, 06:10, Grain in Ear. Although it is still peaceful at the moment, the underground movement has already caused changes in the mountains and water sources. Players, please protect yourselves.
[ID: Yi Ling (Shu Ling Yi)]
[HP: 1615/1615]
[Attack Power: 1665]
[Speed: 600]
[Defense: 315]
[Luck value: 20]
[Satisfaction: 46/50]
The value increased dramatically, and Shu Lingyi was very satisfied. It was Su Ranran who got up early today for the first time.
This surprised Shu Lingyi a little. After washing up, she did some boxing at the door as a form of physical exercise.
However, Su Ranran seemed to be in a bad mood, and her face showed some bad mood.
"Yi Yi, something happened yesterday and I didn't have time to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Just look to the north... look at that mountain, do you see it?"
Following the direction Su Ranran pointed, Shu Ling looked up and saw that it was the north of her territory, a place she had never been close to.
Looking from a distance, you can only see a black mountain, and at the top of the mountain there are wisps of white mist coming out!
Because they were far away and couldn't see clearly, she turned her head and looked at Su Ranran. When their eyes met, Shu Lingyi was sure that what she thought was correct.
Suddenly, the things that I hadn't fully figured out last night, at this moment I had a real guess!
Her face was solemn, and she stared at the large amount of white mist that was emerging bit by bit...
"I think I know why these monsters are so crazy. I was right to think it was an earthquake."
"But the earthquake level is very low now. Even if the monsters sense it, they won't react so strongly."
Su Ranran saw that Shu Ling had easily guessed what she said, so she continued, "It wasn't that obvious yesterday, and it's basically invisible in the territory now."
“It was only when I went there to mine that I saw it from a closer distance.”
Su Ranran took a deep breath and said, "We can see white fog in the territory today. I guess in a few days... the volcano will erupt."
Yes, a volcano erupted.
Shu Lingyi had completely forgotten that when she went to the north to dig silica ore and limestone, she noticed that there seemed to be a volcano further north.
Of course, Xiao Ai didn’t say anything at that time, and she didn’t go near the volcano.
After a long time, she forgot about it.
It turns out he was waiting for her here!
"Isn't this the reason why we need to upgrade the shield so quickly? If it's a volcanic eruption, then the molten lava won't come into the territory, right?!"
[After upgrading, the shield will not be easily destroyed by the high temperature of the molten lava, otherwise the high temperature will cause the shield to lose health quickly. ]
[It can also destroy a single point to a certain extent, then break through your defense shield from that point and flow in. ]
[If we are not careful, we will all be scalded by the lava and turned into charcoal! No, if we are flooded, we will all become living fossils! ]
I don’t know why, but Xiao Ai seems very happy?
[There's nothing much to say, I just want to see a living fossil. It depends on whether you give me the chance.]
"You wish!" Shu Ling answered with gritted teeth, then quickly upgraded the protective shield, and 30,000 gold coins flowed away like water.
Her heart is bleeding!
Holding back the pain in her heart, she continued to ask, "If a volcano erupts, there shouldn't be just one here, right? Won't the whole area be flooded by magma?"
When she said this, even Su Ranran was horrified: "In that case, if we don't live in the territory, we will be dead!"
The maximum temperature of the molten magma can reach 1400 degrees. If it were everywhere, there would be no way to survive.
No wonder the monsters went berserk. Even the birds living in the trees on the mountains would be afraid of this!
[That's not the case. There should be between fifteen and twenty volcanoes in the territory, scattered throughout the territory.]
[Of course, there must be one near the territory. ]
Shu Ling looked at Xiao Ai's prompt, then looked at Su Ranran, who opened the public screen to speak.
[Yi Ling]: "We found the cause of the beast tide."
Zhang Weitian didn't expect to get such a big surprise just when he was about to check the news, and asked quickly: "What's the reason?"
【A Miao】: "Eh? Isn't it because of the upcoming earthquake? Could there be another reason?"
[Jie Ao]: "Why not? Earthquakes are disasters that can trigger other disasters."
[Jie Ao]: "For example, a volcanic eruption?"
【Amiang】: "Oh my god, no way!"
[Yi Ling]: "It's like this. Earthquakes usually occur before and after a volcanic eruption. It can only be said that an earthquake does not necessarily mean a volcanic eruption."
[Jie Ao]: "I saw a big volcano over here, it was smoking... maybe it will erupt tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
[Thirteen Yi]: "You have a volcano over there, too? Why don't you run away quickly?"
[Jie Ao]: "I'm in the territory. Is there any place safer than this? But there must be more than one volcano in the game area. Other players should be careful."
[Yi Ling]: "Yes, the eruption range is probably only about ten kilometers. If you are near a volcano with white smoke, please flee as soon as possible."
[Yi Ling]: "It's better to stay 20 kilometers away to be relatively safe. After all, the volcanic eruption range in the game may not be limited to a radius of ten kilometers."
[A Miao]: "I was so scared that I immediately went out to look around, but I didn't see any mountain with white smoke coming out of it..."
As more and more players woke up, as soon as they saw the news on the public screen, they all went to look around like Miao Yueyue to see if there was a volcano in the distance.
[Simple or not]: "I didn't know until I saw it. I was shocked. It seemed like there was a volcano two kilometers ahead of me!"
[Simple but not simple]: "No wonder I was wondering why it was so hot. There weren't so many people here yesterday... I have to speed up today, wuwuwu!"
[A Miao]: "That's exactly what happened. I bought a tent today. I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to go to the territory at this time of year. It's a bit far from me..."
Miao Yueyue bought a safe route...but the route showed that it would take her 6 days to reach the territory.
She didn't know that her territory was so far away. It was very likely that earthquakes had already started in the next six days, and they might be very severe.
In that case, she would be in an unfamiliar environment, which would make her even more unsafe.
It’s better to just stay here for now.
[A Miao]: "There are no volcanoes here. It's just a plain. I should be able to survive until the end of the solar term, right?"
[His Majesty Nan]: "If I can make the seismic isolation bearing, then there should be a chance."
[Yi Ling]: "You can also examine your surrounding environment first. If you have a wide flat area far from the territory and no volcanoes nearby, you can consider stationing there."
[Yi Ling]: "If we can make seismic isolation bearings and sell them to you, you should be able to hold on and maybe survive this solar term."
[Jue Ling Qing Zhu]: "But everyone should prepare supplies in advance. If the earthquake gets serious, it might be hard to find food and drink."
[Bai Moxi]: "There is also a volcanic eruption. We don't know how long it will last. The monsters will be very difficult to kill by then, or there may not be any monsters to kill at all."
With the experience of stockpiling during the last hurricane, everyone knows what to stock up on days like this.
Many people confirmed the situation, and those who were not going to the territory began to prepare things in advance.
At this time, Shu Lingyi observed the level of the territory's protective shield. After upgrading, it was level 3.
What she didn't expect was that the next upgrade would require not only gold coins, but also population.
This means that there must be enough permanent residents to upgrade, and the gold coin requirement rises to 35,000.
"One hundred residents?! I don't even have thirty here! If you count the ones who haven't arrived yet, I'm afraid we won't even have half of them!"
Shu Ling had a headache and had to continue to pull people on the public screen. After this situation, she was sure that the protective shield would have to be upgraded later.
After upgrading, its own defense value is higher, and it will lose less blood when facing various disasters and high-level monsters.
For example, the level one protective shield had only 2,000 HP at that time, but now it has 8,000 HP.
Even if we are besieged by a level six monster, we will be able to hold out for three or two days without any problem!
It's impossible that it was like yesterday, where the second-level protective shield lost almost 100 HP in more than an hour. You know, they also went out to block the attack of the monster.
Moreover, most of the monsters were gathered in the north at that time. Otherwise, if it was night, the monsters would scatter outside the entire protective shield and attack, and everyone would fall asleep and be unprepared.
In one night, the protective shield will definitely be broken!
"Come to think of it, even though the beast tide was so severe yesterday, they didn't come to harass us at night."
Su Ranran was still a little bit unbelievable.
"It's probably because the system determined that the disaster was a volcanic eruption, not a beast tide. It can only be said that the beast tide was a chain reaction, so the system would not force the monsters to attack crazily at night."
"Like before, the monster attacks were all regular, so there were monsters attacking all day long. That was a disaster set by the system."
Su Ranran nodded, not quite understanding. She had already dealt with the silica ore and limestone, and it would take at least five days for them to refresh.
Including today, that means the only digging available is on the 8th, and she even stocked up a lot of natural soda water for Shu Lingyi.
Shu Ling told Su Ranran the upgrade requirements for the territory's protective shield, and Su Ranran took a breath: "Sure enough, based on my experience in playing games, future upgrades will definitely require more."
"In addition to population, gold and coins, the most common requirement is buildings (prosperity)!"
Shu Ling looked at the things at the furnace entrance and raised his eyebrows slightly: "But I don't think these buildings can be listed as requirements."
"I'm just guessing, I can't say for sure! But if there are additional requirements, the system should also have some new permissions."
Shu Lingyi also thought so. Looking at his lord interface, he finally found the details after the upgrade under the upgrade requirements.
This didn't seem to happen during the previous upgrade.
[Level 4 Protective Shield: Has 12,000 HP, 6,000 defense value, and unlocks new permissions for the lord.]
"Sure enough, there are new permissions!" The two looked back eagerly.
[New authority - Territory Resident Rules: The lord can set three resident rules, which will be published by the system to the territory interface of each permanent/temporary resident.]
[After the rules are released, the system will be responsible for supervision. If there is any violation, the system will punish the lord on his behalf (the punishment is set by the lord in advance). ]
[There are only three basic rules. For every 200 additional residents, the lord can add one rule, with a maximum of 100. ]
"Wow! This is a great thing! With this, I don't have to worry about being difficult to manage when there are too many people. I can still keep my vest on, hehe."
Su Ranran was also sincerely happy for Shu Lingyi, and agreed that she, Luo Zhiqing, and Jiang Wang, the three insiders, would discuss these three points with Shu Lingyi tonight.
When there are enough residents, we can release it directly.
Having solved another difficult problem, Shu Ling was in a very good mood and waited obediently for Yun Bao to prepare breakfast.
"I'm going to the cornucopia to mine today. What do you think I should mine?"
There were six kinds of ores laid out there, and Su Ranran was still a little confused about what to dig.
[Saltpeter, saltpeter, saltpeteryyyds! ]
[Want obsidian? A great opportunity is right in front of you. If you get saltpeter, you will have a chance to get obsidian! ]
Xiao Ai's remarks were always so unexpected, and a big question mark flashed across Shu Ling's mind.
"Of course...is there any relationship between saltpeter and obsidian?"
Su Ranran:? ?
She was also stumped by the question, with a puzzled look on her face. She stared at Shu Lingyi's puzzled eyes and thought for a while, then touched her chin and said, "It should... not matter..."
She spoke slowly and her tone was hesitant, but when you asked her to think about the relationship between the two, Su Ranran said she really couldn't think of it.
