Chapter 468 Bamboo Rat 2
"You have to start working after you have rested, otherwise it will be a bit hot." She bought some ice cubes today, but they had almost melted after a day.
After listening to Lin Jiaer, she realized that as long as the treadmill fan was turned on, it would be too cold to use ice cubes, so she did not buy any additional ice cubes.
On this side, Zhong Qingwei arrived at the door of Shu Ling's house. He had to admit that the weather was really hot.
There is a protective shield in the territory, so the damage caused by sunlight is less, and because of the synthesis of ice, the temperature is also slightly lower.
Despite this, it was still so hot that I was sweating all the way.
"How is your health now?" Shu Lingyi first asked about the situation.
"No problem. Jing Zhao said that everything about my body is normal, just like you were at that time."
Zhong Qingwei simply moved his arms to prove to Shu Lingyi that he was fine.
"So what do you remember? Like how did you fall into a coma?"
Shu Lingyi himself had forgotten what happened at that time. Now Zhong Qingwei also had such a problem, which was really worrying.
"I can't remember either. I had a headache after I woke up. I can't remember anything. It feels like there's nothing special."
The two of them stared at each other with innocent looks, and after a while they both sighed in unison.
"Forget it. I'll go to the front with you later. I've arranged a new nest for the bamboo rat."
Bamboo rats are different from other pets, and the way they are raised is also slightly different from poultry.
Male and female bamboo rats are inseparable and cannot be thrown together in any litter.
The sack is a legendary quality item, so even if Zhong Qingwei stuffed dozens of bamboo rats, regardless of gender or adult or cubs, together, these guys would not fight with each other.
Under normal circumstances, the mother mouse will protect her cubs very fiercely, but if there is no male mouse in a nest, the new male mouse will bite the baby mice in the nest to death and then have new cubs with the mother mouse.
Because bamboo rats like to kill each other, and due to environmental problems, bamboo rats are becoming increasingly rare and have become a protected animal on the blue planet.
Today, when Jiang Wang received the news that Shu Ling was going to build nests for countless pairs of bamboo rats, he chose to let Shu Ling dig one more cellar while he was digging the cellar in the afternoon.
Bamboo rats prefer to live in dark places where they cannot be directly exposed to sunlight, and cellars are an excellent place.
And it can't be an ordinary burrow. Shu Lingyi estimated the size of two adult bamboo rats for Jiang Wang today, and then Jiang Wang asked someone to customize a special cage.
That's right, he went to Shen Shaoqing to buy high-quality dragon-scale bamboo, and then Helian Zheyue weaved the dragon-scale bamboo into cages of suitable sizes.
The dragon scale bamboo is so strong that it cannot be bitten by the second and third level bamboo rats. These cages are then embedded in the walls of the cellar.
Then they hollowed out the soil according to the size of the cages and arranged them one by one, so that the three walls of the entire cellar were full of holes.
Zhong Qingwei followed Jiang Wang and Shu Lingyi into the cellar. The cellar was very large, with three walls and more than a hundred holes.
"Come to think of it, can the cellar withstand holes like this?" Zhong Qingwei couldn't help frowning when he saw the walls full of holes.
Shu Ling waved his hand and said, "Why panic? As long as we give them enough earth crystals and Qi Xuanze's professional buff, this cellar will never collapse."
Zhong Qingwei finally felt relieved, then he opened the sack and released the bamboo rats one by one.
Jiang Wang’s career buff was enhanced after he advanced to a senior breeder. This profession gained an additional ability when it reached the advanced level.
That is, when the female poultry and other pets he raises are giving birth, it can reduce the risk of birth and increase the chance of survival of the cubs.
This was upgraded after the lamb was delivered not long ago.
Because of the special nature of this ability, Jiang Wang didn't want to tell anyone for a while.
Even his own daughter was not very willing, but the truth could not be hidden.
After Shu Lingyi found out, she actually laughed for a long time, laughing so hard that she was bent over with joy, and in the end she even covered her stomach - she laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
In Shu Lingyi's opinion, his father's skill is really fun.
Originally, my dad was a person who understood postpartum care of sows. Since he came to the territory, his job scope has expanded and is no longer limited to postpartum care of sows.
Cows, sheep, deer and so on are all included in him.
Now that I have this skill, my delivery ability has been taken to a new level, and my postpartum care skill has been maxed out.
"These two are a pair, and these two are a pair, this cub belongs to it..."
Zhong Qingwei released the mice one by one, and then Jiang Wang assigned them places to live one by one, putting the mother mice in first, and then the cubs.
A mother mouse will recognize her own cubs. If she smells the scent and accepts it, it is her own. If it shows its teeth, it is not her cub.
After the pups have been distributed, we will go to each cage to test which male rat belongs to which family, because male rats will bite to death pups that are not theirs. If a male rat shows aggression in the cage, it means it does not belong to this family.
After trying it out, the distribution was basically completed.
There were only 13 pairs of adult bamboo rats in total, and the litter of level three bamboo rats happened to be a family, with four cubs, one male and one female.
The other twelve pairs were all level two bamboo rats, but Zhong Qingwei sold 12 of the cubs in total, and kept one for himself, one each for Shu Lingyi and Lin Jiaer.
There were 15 missing bamboo rat cubs in all the cages. One pair of bamboo rats was the unlucky ones. They only had three cubs, and all of them were sold as the lucky ones.
"This is what I earned from selling bamboo rat cubs today. I'm giving it all to you. I promised it would be a gift for you."
Zhong Qing did not put away the sack, but transferred all the gold coins he got from selling the cubs today to Shu Lingyi.
Shu Ling looked at the generous transfer and smiled: "Comrade Zhong is so kind. I accept this gift."
"When these bamboo rats start giving birth, 60% of the money from selling them when they grow up will belong to you!"
One reason was because Zhong Qingwei was responsible for capturing these bamboo rats, and the other was because of the gift Zhong Qingwei gave her.
Shu Lingyi is very knowledgeable about reciprocity.
Originally, the two of them were working together, her father was responsible for breeding, and Zhong Qingwei was responsible for catching them. From then on, he caught and sold the cubs himself, and Shu Lingyi had no intention of taking any more.
She only needs adult bamboo rats, both male and female, to raise and give birth to pups.
Although Shen Shaoqing's bamboo forest is large, there are definitely only so many bamboo rats. With such a temperature, it will take Zhong Qingwei several days to catch all the bamboo rats. I'm afraid all of them will die in this temperature, right?
In the long run, Shu Lingyi must work with Jiang Wang to breed new bamboo rats.
The bamboo rat's maturity period is also shorter than that of other monsters, and the time from pregnancy to birth is not long either.
Shu Lingyi, you can only make long-term plans first, because Xiao Ai accidentally exposed something this afternoon.
That is just like Qingming and Guyu, the Greater and Lesser Heat are connected - the high temperature will last for a full 30 days.
The increasing temperature made Shu Ling recall the heavy rain that changed the color of the sky and the earth. Oh no, it was the Milky Way that was flowing backwards.
Even though that scene happened two months ago, Shu Ling still feels a little scared whenever he thinks about it.
However, Shu Lingyi did not plan to tell all the players too early, but would just let everyone make as many small preparations as possible.
After arranging all this, Jiang Wang fed the bamboo rats with bamboo, and the three of them left together.
We all went back to our rooms to sleep, and when we woke up the next day the temperature had reached 36°.
It's 33° in the territory, so everyone can still bear it, but outside the territory, it's really getting dire.
The ice silk clothes in the tailor shop were sold out in no time, and the ice cubes were snapped up by many people. Some people even group-ordered to buy a piece of ice, and then distributed the crushed ice.
After all, buying a single piece of ice requires a lot of supplies, and some players are not that wealthy.
Shu Lingyi also had to worry about whether there was enough saltpeter. There was only one saltpeter mine, and after digging it out he had to wait for time to refresh. Shu Lingyi's No. 2 ice cellar was being built, with Yan Huan and Xin Jing each in charge of one.
Fortunately, Su Ranran, a natural ore absorber, existed. On that day, Su Ranran had already led some miner players to dig out the saltpeter mine.
Residents in another area far away called Haotian also dug out the saltpeter mines there.
Shu Lingyi went there through the teleportation stone and planned to build an ice cellar there as well.
So a few people were selected to learn how to make ice from Xin Jing and Yan Huan. Making ice is actually not difficult. The key is to grasp the timing well so as to maximize the value of the saltpeter.
Making more ice with the least amount of saltpeter is all for preparation later.
It would take more than a day to build an ice cellar with a large enough capacity. Fortunately, Zhang Weitian’s brother Zhang Weihao was an architect like Qi Xuanze.
With his help, she didn't have to worry much about the preliminary excavation work of the ice cellar in Haotian area.
"There are only two saltpeter mines in total, which is a little less!"
Shu Lingyi felt tired. There were only two ice cellars now, and one had just been put into use, so the saltpeter seemed to be definitely enough for now.
But after three days, it would be hard to say whether there was enough saltpeter.
The saltpeter mine will not be refreshed until five days later, so there will definitely be two days in between when not only is no ice produced, but it is also being consumed crazily.
Just thinking about Shu Lingyi makes me scared.
However, Shu Ling couldn't just get a mine whenever he wanted, so he could only rely on senior miners like Su Ranran. Their professional buff would produce high-quality rich ore when mining.
One saltpeter mine like this is worth ten, especially the rich ore dug out by Su Ranran!
She used to dig out blue rare quality ore, but now she can dig out purple epic quality ore.
One piece of epic quality ore is more than enough to replace ten.
In Su Ranran's words: "Epic quality rich ore: that year I put my hands in my pockets and didn't have a single ore that could be used."
Although it seemed like she was just joking, what Su Ranran said made sense.
It's another new morning. After breakfast, a new round of busyness naturally begins in the territory.
There were many crystals in Shu Lingyi's warehouse, so much so that when Lin Jiaer was making the treadmill fan, there was no wind crystal left for the mobile phone head.
He chose two options. One was that a player himself provided three wind crystals for him to get the opportunity to make an advance reservation.
Of course, the price of the treadmill fan will also be reduced by the part that belongs to the crystal.
The second option is to buy some more from Shu Lingyi and then produce and sell them normally.
[Have you finished the continuous tasks?]: "Today's reservations are full, with more than 300 people. I guess it will take me several days to complete the production."
[Yue Shengliang who loves sweet-scented osmanthus fish: "Ah - that's it, I really have to buy ice cubes to live again. When can I use a fan?"
【One Two Three Four Seven Seven Seven】: "It's okay. I've reserved two. When they're done, one will be yours. Just remember to pay for it."
[Yue Shengliang who loves sweet-scented osmanthus fish]: "Oh! Oh my god, Sanqi you are so nice to me!"
Yue Shengliang was really happy, but it was a pity that Sanqi had already left the territory and returned to her birthplace.
That has been her goal from the beginning to the end, and the gold coins she has accumulated have already allowed her to buy a protective shield of sufficient size.
It is better to act early while the temperature is not abnormally high, especially now that the ocean has not completely dried up and can still be used for crossing the sea.
This way she would only need two days more to reach her birthplace.
[Whisper]: "My house is originally on the coast. I left a mark on the shore yesterday. Today's water level is lower than yesterday."
[Yi Ling]: "Then if you can, you should fetch as much water as possible and store it."
Shu Lingyi planned to leave the territory's protective shield with Sanqi today.
This idea was proposed by Xiao Ai. Shu Ling was eagerly looking forward to the new saltpeter mine, and finally asked Xiao Ai where he could get a new saltpeter mine.
[Go southeast out of the territory, go forward all the way, and then go left near the sea, and you will encounter the saltpeter mine. ]
As soon as Shu Ling got this hint, he naturally went out to look for it. As soon as he heard the distance, he knew it was not close to the territory.
At that time, the worst that could happen is that she would go buy a teleportation stone herself, open up the place directly, and allow Lao Ran to come here to mine.
And because Yue Shengliang was reluctant to let Sanqi go, he wailed in grief, and Shu Lingyi naturally learned that Sanqi was going to return to his birthplace.
What a coincidence, this route is highly consistent with the route Shu Lingyi wants to take.
So Shu Lingyi just went straight to the point and invited Sanqi to set off together, and also brought Yue Shengliang, who was a little directionally challenged, along.
When the time comes, she will send Sanqi to the beach, and then she will take Yue Shengliang to the vicinity of the saltpeter mine.
However, due to this solar term issue, the surrounding monsters have become more and more violent, and most of these monsters can produce fire crystals.
Regarding this scarce commodity, Shu Lingyi encouraged combat players to go out and hunt monsters.
With the current temperature, as long as you bring a series of sun protection equipment, it won't be too bad and you can carry out normal activities without any problem.
In fact, the best way is to use the teleportation stone to go to some places. These places are far away from the territory, and most of them have mines and other resource points.
When combat players go there, they can clear out the surrounding monsters, which can also be considered a kind of protection for miner players.
It can also shorten the round trip time and eliminate the monsters that are far away from the territory.
There are many benefits, and everyone is very enthusiastic. Fire crystals are very important for players who have furnaces and kilns.
Even the work of the lantern requires the consumption of fire crystals, which no one would mind having too much.
If you don’t need it, just sell it. You can use the gold coins to buy more good equipment, buy life-saving ice cubes every day, and find ways to buy treadmill fans.
However, since so many players have to work outside in the high temperature, Yunbao chooses to sell foods such as mung bean soup and mung bean porridge, which are the most refreshing and heat-reducing.
Cai Li also sells fruits that can cool down the body, such as snow pears. In addition to the effects brought by these foods, the abilities of various items such as sun hats, ice silk sun-proof clothing are superimposed.
There has been no casualties in the Shuling 1 gaming area so far.
Zhong Qing went to catch bamboo rats happily, and because of bamboo rats, many people came to Shen Shaoqing to buy bamboo.
Everyone made money and was in a very good mood.
Shu Lingyi knew that the journey would not be that fast, but he did not expect it to be so far!
Yue Shengliang was already familiar with this road. She had walked this road with Sanqi no less than five or six times, so she was naturally familiar with it.
We set off at ten in the morning and walked for about an hour before reaching the coastal area.
Yue Shengliang saw Sanqi off with tears in his eyes. But before leaving, Sanqi did not forget to pull Yue Shengliang aside and whisper something to him.
After saying that, Shu Lingyi saw Yue Shengliang seemed to be eager to follow Sanqi on the boat, but was stopped by Sanqi.
Sanqi looked at Yue Shengliang, hugged Yue Shengliang and said in a light tone: "Be good and listen to me. There is no need to rush for a while."
"Well... I'm anxious to make good money in the territory."
Yue Shengliang pouted and sent Sanqi away with a wronged look on his face. Sanqi also stood on the wooden boat and looked at Yue Shengliang.
The smiles on their faces were so faint that they were almost invisible. The sunlight was so glaring that everyone had to wear sun hats.
Therefore, his eyes were covered by shadows, and only a bit of determination could be seen: I will also make good money and buy a teleportation stone as soon as possible.
In this way, you can come to my place to plant osmanthus.
At this time, Yue Shengliang didn't realize anything. Just because of her idea of making money, many unlucky monsters would be slaughtered by Sanqi.
"Okay, okay, come with me quickly. I'll take you to kill monsters and make money."
Shu Lingyi comforted Yue Shengliang with a few words, and Yue Shengliang put away her sad look, clenched her fists, and said seriously: "Okay, follow the boss, you eat meat and I drink soup."
"Hahaha, I'm not that stingy."
Going around to the left, the weather was hot and many monsters were in bad temper.
[There is a level 6 tiger in the woods at the intersection ahead. It is a bit irritable, and irritability reduces the intelligence of tigers.]
At first, Shu Lingyi didn’t fully understand what Xiao Ai said, but soon she understood the meaning.
