One of the villagers saw Ye Mi coming back from the field and said this.
Ye Mi heard his first word was "yes", so it was not difficult for him to think that they probably had the same thing happen to them.
"Well, uncle, do you know what's going on?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers started chatting with each other.
"I don't know... I found a lot of rice seedlings withered yesterday..."
"Me too. Dozens of cassava seeds on my field have withered. I am so sad."
"No way? If something as drought-resistant as cassava is short of water, then other crops will be doomed..."
**
What the villager said at last was also what Ye Mi was thinking.
Not only cassava, but also the tomatoes and date trees on her land, which are all drought-resistant crops.
But the tomato and date trees still withered.
Moreover, they are all withered due to lack of water.
Where is there a water shortage that is only in such a small area?
The surrounding crops are not affected!
The more Ye Mi thought about it, the more he felt that this must be a problem with the game.
It has nothing to do with the method of planting.
After saying goodbye to several villagers, Ye Mi watched them go to their fields to check on the withering crops.
She also returned to the village, ready to ask other people's families.
It would be fine if you didn’t ask, but you’ll be shocked when you do.
As long as she smelled it, there was no villager whose fields had not withered crops.
Afterwards, she quickly went to find the village chief to ask about the situation.
"village head."
The village chief has been annoyed these days because of the innocent withering of crops.
At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and the tone of voice inevitably sounded a little unpleasant.
"Who is it?" He turned around and saw that it was Ye Mi, and his attitude changed a little.
"Sorry, I've been feeling a bit down these past few days."
Ye Mi shook his head and said no.
When I came over, I saw that the village chief's desk was piled with notes from villagers complaining about the withering crops.
Seeing Ye Mi reading the notes, he not only didn't say anything, but also pushed the notes towards her.
These notes were not only from our own village, but also from the neighboring village, the next next next village, and the next next next... village.
That is, the crops are withering, and it is not just in this place.
This is most likely true across the entire game.
Ye Mi found someone privately and asked them to quickly check the gang’s farmland to see if there was anything wrong.
Then he seemed to have thought of something, chatted with them privately and went to the medicinal field to check the situation.
After she finished doing all this, she couldn't help but see the private chat between herself and Xiao Jinku.
Is this a new activity?
But what kind of activity is this!
"Village chief, if these crops wither and die like this, will it have a big impact on the villagers?"
The village chief sighed, "If it's just this degree of withering, then it won't have a big impact. At most, every household will have a smaller harvest this year..."
"I'm afraid... the degree of withering will gradually increase. Xiao Mi, you don't often look at the fields, so you may not know that the withering of crops has already started a week ago."
A week ago?!
She thought about it and realized that period of time should have been when she was participating in the competition in Medical Valley.
“Were so many crops withered a week ago?”
"No, there are only a few withered plants in every household's field."
A week ago, there were a few withered plants. Now, a week later, there are dozens of withered plants in a field.
This development speed is indeed quite fast.
It would be fine if we just maintained the status quo.
If what the village chief said is true, and the rate of withering continues to increase, one day nothing can be grown in the fields.
For some reason, a sense of crisis arose in Ye Mi's heart.
Most of her crops only take a few hours to mature, so if they wither, they wither, and she doesn't feel too bad about it.
Anyway, I only planted the seeds, and all the weeding, pest control, watering and fertilizing were done by robots.
But these villagers are different.
The crops they planted all grew at the same rate as in real life.
The fastest one will mature in twenty days, the slowest one will take several months.
Moreover, these crops were grown by themselves with great care.
It would be so sad if it withered.
Moreover, most villagers depend on these crops for their livelihood.
Without crops, they had no food and no harvest.
This is undoubtedly a disaster for the villagers.
"Has the village chief figured out how to deal with this?"
"I have some ideas, and I may need your help, Xiao Mi."
"I?"
Ye Mi was stunned.
**
After leaving the village chief's house, Ye Mi went to Grandma Li's house.
After the city battle ended, Grandma Li's son asked to be demoted.
After that I found a more leisurely job.
This way you can gain something and have more time to rest.
He can spend more time with the elderly at home.
With him by her side, Grandma Li's mood was obviously much better than before.
Ye Mi came here this time to deliver some things and to talk to Granny Li about the withering crops.
After listening to this, Granny Li murmured to herself unconsciously, "Perhaps this is God's arrangement..."
Ye Mi knew that she had also guessed that it was the arrangement of the game system.
I just don’t know what the point of making this arrangement is.
The player she found before has also replied to her——
Many crops in the gang’s farmland have withered.
The medicine field was safe and sound, with no other changes.
It seems that at least so far, the only things affected are the crops and fruits in the farmland.
As for Huihui and Cha, there is no impact for the time being.
And this effect has been confirmed to be present in the entire game.
Whether it is the player’s private farmland or the NPC’s farmland.
Even the farmland within the gang will be affected by the withering of plants.
Although so far, crop withering has not had a particularly big impact on players.
But they still held a meeting for this, mainly to discuss why the game was arranged in this way.
Not only Tianlin discovered this, other gangs also discovered this problem to a greater or lesser extent.
However, before they could come up with anything, Game Brain issued an official announcement.
[Event-Sudden Natural Disaster]
1. This activity will last for one month.
2. During the event, 10% of the crops and fruits planted will wither randomly each time. This value will increase by 20% every two days, with a maximum of 70%.
3. NPCs are facing a food crisis. All players can find NPC [Shishi] in Floating Light City. You can talk to Shishi to hand in food and get corresponding contribution points.
4. Newly added [Food-stealing monsters]. Please explore for specific information yourself.
5. Reward redemption will appear after the end of this event.
…
Ye Mi also didn't expect that the withering of crops was really related to this event.
She quickly went to the farmland given to her by the village chief.
