Chapter 477 Spending the Night at Wan Shen Mountain
This is a winding stream, with thick green moss on the rocks and many fallen leaves floating on the surface.
To find the large clam at the bottom of the water, you must first clear away the fallen leaves on the surface so that you can see what's underneath.
Fortunately, there are many large clams at the bottom of the water. You can find one every few steps forward. Once you open them, you'll find gears inside.
Meng Qingyin asked Chen Leying, "How many gears are needed to make a car air conditioner?"
Chen Leying: "Only two."
Meng Qingyin said, "We currently have 150,000 players in our region, which means we need 300,000 gears. If we rely solely on ourselves, the collection progress will be too slow."
Chen Leying: "You want the players to teleport over and help collect the gears?"
Meng Qingyin nodded: "That's right, that's exactly what I think. Also, I have a favor to ask, regarding the price of the car air conditioner..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Leying naturally chimed in, "Everyone contributed to finding the gears, so I only charged for the materials of the car air conditioner we made."
She's not the type to turn her back on someone after she's helped them; since everyone has helped, she's happy to reciprocate with some kindness.
However, in addition to gears, car air conditioners also require plastic and other materials, which she cannot possibly gather. She would have to purchase them in bulk, which would be an expense she could not afford.
She didn't have much money on hand, so she could only charge for materials.
Meng Qingyin then sent a message in the chat area: "[Location] We are currently in Wan Shen Mountain. We have found the gears. Everyone can teleport here to collect the gears. Chen Leying said that she will only charge for the materials of the vehicle air conditioner."
Zhu Zhi Dai Qing Gui: "Have you guys found the gears yet? I'll teleport over right away to help collect them!"
LNana: "Air conditioner only charges for materials? Chen Leying, I love you!"
Money from all directions 111: "Huh? Why can't I teleport? Has anyone successfully teleported?"
Sweet Girl and Big Beauty Xin Xin: "I haven't been there either. It says the area is inaccessible by teleportation and I have to drive there myself! What's going on?"
Unable to transfer?
Meng Qingyin was stunned.
Could it be due to the unique characteristics of Wan Shen Mountain?
Mengmeng: "Since we can't teleport, everyone who can should try to drive over. If you really can't make it, then forget it."
After sending the message, Meng Qingyin looked at everyone.
Everyone looked bitter.
They only brought six people this time. If you include each of them with five Night Demon "guards", and barely include Zai Zai, Zhao Cai, and Shan Xiao, there are less than forty people. Collecting 300,000 gears is an enormous workload.
Meng Qingyin had no choice but to say, "Everyone should try to collect as much as possible. Now that all the players have teams, we should at least make sure that each team has a vehicle with an air conditioner."
Most of the teams consist of 30 people, which means that there are 5,000 teams with 150,000 people. If each team is equipped with an air conditioner, they would need to collect 10,000 gears.
On average, each person needs to collect 250 gears.
When you add it all up, it's not that much.
Of course, the more gears you collect, the better.
After Meng Qingyin explained the calculations to everyone, they were immediately filled with renewed enthusiasm.
"I can collect all 250 gears in two hours!" Zhang Yan said, rolling up his trousers and full of enthusiasm.
Lu Cheng: "Collect 250 gears in two hours? That means you need to collect 125 gears per hour, let's say 120, that's two gears per minute. Are you sure you can do that?"
Finding the clam alone takes more than a minute, and with the addition of opening the shell and retrieving the gear, it takes at least five minutes to get a single gear.
Zhang Yan was speechless after hearing this, and tried to save face: "This is just a goal for me to motivate myself. Look how seriously you're taking it? Taking it too seriously is meaningless."
Lu Cheng: "..."
For a moment, everyone fell silent and bent down to look for clams, a search that lasted for more than two hours.
In two hours, they had only collected about a quarter of the gears.
With the sun about to set, Meng Qingyin said, "Let's find somewhere to eat something and rest first. We can continue our search once we're rested. We'll stay in the mountains tonight. What do you think?"
There's no danger at night now, so it's okay not to go into a vehicle.
Moreover, it's much cooler inside the Wanshen Mountains than outside. She'd much rather stay in the mountains than be drenched in sweat outside.
Zhang Yan was very excited: "Great, let's treat it as a camping trip. I happen to have quite a few tents here."
No one else objected, so they decided to spend the night in the mountains.
As the sun sets, the light in the mountains is dim due to the obstruction of the leaves, and mist gradually rises, making the mountain look mysterious and hazy.
The group found a relatively high and open spot by the stream to set up camp. They then split into two groups: one group was responsible for setting up tents, and the other group was responsible for starting a fire and cooking.
It was completely dark outside, but the area around the camp was as bright as day – Zhang Yan had once again contributed his super-powerful flashlight, illuminating the entire camp and the surrounding area so that nothing could escape his notice.
Tonight's dinner is a clam feast, with various preparations including steaming, braising, grilling, and stewing.
After dinner, everyone sat around the campfire chatting.
Zhang Yan lay down on the ground, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, and said casually, "Tonight's experience is like camping with friends, without having to think about those worries. It feels so good."
Lu Cheng, unusually, didn't tease him. He held Qin Jiu's hand tightly and looked up at the night sky: "Look, you can actually see stars here."
The nights here are mostly pitch black, but occasionally stars will appear faintly.
However, the starry sky in the mountains is exceptionally bright, with a vast and boundless expanse that is truly captivating.
Qin Jiu held his hand and said gently, "Xiao Xing misses you too. Look, the brightest star might just be her."
Lu Cheng stared intently at the brightest star in the night sky, "Little Star must like you too."
Qin Jiu leaned on his shoulder and said with a smile, "Of course! No one would dislike a girl as understanding as me."
Lu Cheng put his arm around her. "Yes, I'm very lucky."
The people being subjected to this public display of affection were speechless. These two have no sense of public morality; they're so blatantly abusing their love.
...
Under the same night sky, Ah Chen was also looking up at the night sky.
But the night sky she saw was an inky black, without a single star.
Ah Chen sighed and turned to go inside.
The room was very simple; a bed and a table were all the furniture in the room.
A calendar hung on the wall, its surface densely covered with markings.
