31 Ruined City-Day 1
Humidity: 60%
After 12 o'clock in the morning, the game map suddenly changed and the temperature rose rapidly.
The players were huddled in their beds, shivering with cold one second, and then breaking out in a sweat the next.
Finally escaping the extreme cold of -60 degrees Celsius, they cried with joy and immediately congratulated each other in the group chat.
It was still extremely cold before Yan Lan went to bed. She placed two kangs in the room, with the charcoal fire burning very brightly. She stuffed three hand warmers into the quilt and covered it with a large cotton quilt.
When the temperature suddenly rose at night, she had no warning at all. Even though the kang and hand warmer were turned off in the second half of the night, the big cotton quilt was still so hot that she was sweating profusely.
The same goes for Snowball next to it. It likes cold places, and because of the rising heat, its fluffy hair is curled into wisps.
But in such an environment, he still slept very soundly, as if he was dreaming about something delicious, and his little mouth kept smacking.
Yan Lan felt like playing, so she pinched the little dog's open mouth with two fingers, and the little dog's two paws fluttered around helplessly in its sleep.
After rubbing it for a while, she sat up and lifted the thick quilt off her body.
He got out of bed, dug out a thin blanket from the bedroom closet, put it on Snowball, and then picked up a set of light home clothes and went to the bathroom to change.
While taking a shower, she opened the game panel.
[Map: Ruined City, Number of Game Days: 1, Weather: Overcast, Temperature: 25°C (Spring), Humidity: 60%, Time: 6:00 AM.]
A dilapidated city?
It sounded a bit more worldly than the alpine snowfields, but she soon realized she was overthinking it.
Looking out through the bathroom window, you can see the new map in full view.
The road is still the same road, only the background has changed, as if you pressed Ctrl C and Ctrl V to copy and paste another background negative here.
Outside the highway was a mess, like the ruins of a city after a war.
Buildings with exposed steel bars, blackened walls, doors and windows beaten into sieves, and cars abandoned on the roadside, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, look desolate and dilapidated.
Perhaps because it has been exposed to the air for a long time, you can occasionally see green moss in corners, cracks or abandoned cars.
The sky was dark, the sun was invisible, and it felt like it had just rained. The air was damp, and a gentle breeze carried with it a faint, almost decaying odor.
Yan Lan wrinkled her nose and clicked on the regional channel. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood.
"It's been a long time since I last saw 25 degrees, so refreshing!"
"This is the temperature that normal people live in. I hope it can stay that way forever!"
"This map is called Ruined City. Can you guess what the disaster is related to?"
"A ruined city, apocalyptic ruins, could it be zombies?"
"Oh my god, don't scare me!"
"Zombies are disgusting, I don't want them!"
"Did you notice? There's a new humidity value on the main game panel: 60%."
"I didn't notice it until you told me. It seems like this didn't exist before, right?"
"Yes, we only introduced the weather and temperature before, so I thought it might be a clue to the game."
Seeing this, Yan Lan's eyes lit up and she felt relieved. It seemed that someone had discovered this anomaly.
"I think what you said makes sense. So will the humidity get higher or lower in the future?"
"Whether it's low or high, this map is easier than the Iceberg Snowfield. Look how many people froze to death yesterday!"
"That's right. It's just a little wet or dry. It can be overcome if you resist."
Yan Lan looked away, wiped the water droplets on her body with a towel, and changed into clean home clothes.
But she still frowned. Would this map really be simpler than the previous one?
She doesn't think so.
After coming out of the bathroom, she started today's sign-in task and received a small bag of fruit candies in various colorful flavors, about 20 pieces in total.
She doesn't like sweets, but Snowball does, and these candies are enough to keep the little foodie busy for a long time.
Then she went to the balcony to pick vegetables. Her magnification skills were not wasted these days.
The current balcony area is 3*2 meters. If the flower pot is further expanded, there will not be enough space, so two 1.5*2 meter empty flower pots were specially made with rubber.
I dug some soil from the original fast-growing pot and enlarged it. It is the soil, not the pot, that has the growth-promoting effect, so the soil transferred to the empty pot still has its special properties.
One new flowerpot was given to Shi Yuanyuan and the other was given to Luo Wen.
Shi Yuanyuan was the teammate she had known the longest in the game world. The two had worked together many times, and it was understandable that she was interested in planting.
He provides all the materials himself, and 70% of the output will be returned to her.
Luo Wen grows Chinese herbal medicines. She studied traditional Chinese medicine, so it is most suitable for her to open a medicinal field.
The herbal medicines grown in the flowerpots were few in number; they were the few she had in stock in her first dungeon. Fortunately, the flowerpots had a rapid growth property, so she could harvest a large amount of herbs every day.
Luo Wen will then process these herbs into medicines that can be taken externally or internally, and will give 70% of the proceeds to Yan Lan.
This was the decision made by Shi Yuanyuan and Luo Wen after discussion. After all, this treasure was provided by Yan Lan, and accepting it in full would make them feel uneasy.
Yan Lan's current flowerpot is 2*2 meters and occupies two-thirds of the entire balcony.
The space is not big, and only 3 kinds of fruits and 7 kinds of vegetables are grown in it.
The fruits include tangerines, apples, and durian. The durian is also one meter tall. It has a flower now and will probably bear fruit tomorrow.
The vegetables originally included mushrooms and lettuce, and later peppers, onions, garlic, pea sprouts, and cherry tomatoes were added. Each type was planted in only a small area, densely packed under the fruit trees.
The grape, watermelon, and kiwi seeds collected at the supply station were given to Shi Yuanyuan to plant, and a batch of vegetable seeds were also left for him to plant freely.
She received a large basket of fruits and various vegetables. Recently, there were too many fruits in her backpack, so she simply put a batch of them on the shelves at the trading center.
The durian harvest will be coming soon. She has put 20 of the remaining 45 durians on the shelves, 50 apples, and 50 tangerines. The grapes, watermelons, and kiwis planted by Shi Yuanyuan have just been harvested, and since the quantity is small, she keeps them for herself.
As soon as it was put on the shelves, the news exploded in the group.
"Did Yan Lan get some treasure? There are so many fruits on the shelves!"
"That's probably the case. Even professional players can only get one food item per day. The appearance of such a large quantity is definitely a rare opportunity."
"I haven't eaten fruit in a long time. I have to go buy some!"
"I'm going too. Don't compete with me. I haven't eaten fruit for half a month and my period has been delayed. Damn it!"
"Ahaha, that's just bad luck for you. I didn't get any fruit from my treasure chest, but I still got into the supply station. There was a serving of fruit for every meal there. I really miss it when I think about it now, slurp~"
At the same time, Chen Shengsheng’s private messages were almost exploding, all from Jiang Tiantian.
"Shengsheng, are you there? Help me grab some durians. I want one! No, two durians!"
"Are you there? Why aren't you replying to the message? Are you not awake yet?"
"Hurry up, the durian will be sold out if you're late!"
Chen Shengsheng has been working hard to produce supplies these days. Unlike Yan Lan's manufacturing station, he uses his own skills, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Working overtime every day as an assembly line worker, I was extremely tired. I thought I could have a good rest in the early stage of the new map, but someone came to harass me just after 6 o'clock.
The game notification sound kept ringing "beep beep beep", which annoyed him a lot. He opened it and saw that it was Tiantian. He suddenly felt sober as if he was poured with ice water.
He remembered that Tiantian loved durian the most, and she praised herself for a long time when he snatched a piece of durian flesh for her last time.
He still remembered that Tiantian was blacklisted by Yan Lan, and she had to rely on herself to buy it for her.
Chen Shengsheng was so flustered that he rushed to Yan Lan's trading center without even having time to reply.
The moment he clicked on it, he watched helplessly as the last durian stock dropped to 0, and his mood immediately sank to the bottom.
Tiantian's favorite durian was lost because he overslept.
Chen Shengsheng was extremely anxious. He was not good at communicating with people, and even worse at asking people to do things for him, but this time, he wanted to fight for Tiantian.
After hesitating for a long time on the transaction interface, he finally mustered up the courage to contact the shop owner privately: "Excuse me... do you still have durian for sale?"
Yan Lan was stunned when she saw the name. Shi Yuanyuan often mentioned him in the small group, and the most common thing she heard was that he suffered from social phobia.
She didn't change her mind because of the other party's identity, and refused coldly: "Sorry, the last stock has just been sold out."
It kept saying "input is being sent," and it was obvious she had something else to say. I waited for a while before I saw a message: "I know you have some in stock. Can you spare one for me? I really need it."
"Oh? Why should I give it to you?"
Chen Shengsheng: "This is a beautiful memory for Tiantian and her mother. She will be sad if she can't eat durian."
Yan Lan's mouth twitched. Jiang Tiantian was really good at making up stories. She was obviously greedy, but she came up with such a weird excuse. However, it could only fool a fool like Chen Shengsheng.
Chen Shengsheng: "Are you there? I really need this durian. I can exchange it for anything you need."
Speaking of supplies, Yan Lan became excited. Wouldn't it have been better if they had told her earlier that they could increase the amount?
The other party has national treasure-level skills, so he must have a lot of supplies. She simply asked loudly: "Do you have any prop cards or something?"
Chen Shengsheng was anxious, and without thinking too much, he put out all his inventory: "RV repair card, cleaning card, teleportation card."
"I want a teleport card!"
Chen Shengsheng choked for a moment, and suddenly felt a little regretful. This card was earned by him after working for several days to make supplies. It could save his life at a critical moment, so he just gave it to her like that?
It was like a slide show in my mind, with Tiantian's sad face shedding tears and the teleportation card appearing alternately.
After struggling for a while, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Okay, but I want two durians."
"No problem, I'll give you three!"
This time Yan Lan was very direct and sent the transaction link for the three durians in less than a second.
Chen Shengsheng was stunned for a moment. He was clearly given an extra durian, but he became even angrier!
They were so generous to give him a bigger bet! Doesn't that just mean there's a lot of inventory? The more I think about it, the more I lose.
But it is difficult to withdraw the promise since he has already agreed. Not only is he not good at socializing, he is even worse at rejecting others.
He gritted his teeth and sent the prop card to confirm the transaction, then went to find Tiantian with the three newly acquired durians.
[Teleport Card: You can instantly move to any place you want. Use times: 1.]
Although it is disposable, it is as precious as a life.
Although Chen Shengsheng is a coward, he is still very nice to girls. He is willing to spend a lot of money to make girls happy. I hope Jiang Tiantian can cherish him.
Yan Lan looked at the card again and put it away as a treasure.
The fruit was quickly sold out, so she started cooking and simply made some noodles for breakfast.
A handful of lettuce was added to the noodles, and two poached eggs were placed on top. A handful of green onions were sprinkled before serving, and the noodles instantly became fragrant.
As soon as the food was cooked, Snowball flew out of the bedroom on time. Yan Lan was not surprised and just watched it wash up before eating.
On the first day after changing the map, there was no danger and no disaster. The day went extremely smoothly.
After finishing the day's journey, she opened the treasure chest and began to take inventory of the supplies.
The backpack grid has been expanded to a total of 20 grids.
The first and second compartments of the backpack are still two super large wooden boxes, which contain a number of miscellaneous items, including food, water, tools, etc.
There is a lot of storage space in the RV, so she puts things like pots and pans, toiletries, clothes, shoes, etc. outside.
The third slot is gasoline, which currently has 200 units.
The 4th, 5th and 6th grids have a total of 3000 metals, the 7th, 8th and 9th grids have a total of 2500 glass, the 10th, 11th and 12th grids have a total of 2500 rubber, and the 13th grid has 800 electronic components.
The upper limit of each grid in the backpack is 1,000 items, and each upgrade material takes up several grids.
The materials needed to upgrade to the next level are: glass × 5000, metal × 5000, rubber × 5000, electronic components × 2000. Currently, she has not even reached half of the materials, so she will need to stock up more later.
The 14th slot is specifically for prop cards. She currently has 5 car repair cards, 2 cleaning cards, and 1 teleportation card.
She got the cleaning cards by playing games in the game city at the supply station. Each card gave her three cleaning chances, and she had two unused cleaning chances left from the first one, so she placed them in the secret compartment under the dining table.
Her manufacturing station is still the only production tool in the H-38 area, and the materials she earns are probably the highest in the area, but she has no intention of stopping.
