Chapter 26: Spring Season Day 1 (3) Selling weapons, upgrading magic...
As soon as Yu Luowei sent the message, the communication channel exploded:
Lu Zhirong: What's going on? Why are the two bosses giving different intelligence? Who should we listen to?
Ma Ming: Of course it's Boss Jin's. Boss Jin shared the correct hint last time. As for the other person, huh.
Chen Mo: But we can't jump to conclusions just yet. Perhaps the two experts' hints actually mean the same thing? For example, the monsters are actually condensed rainwater, which also coincides with the system's hint.
[Wen Yirou: Well, I can only say that this is difficult to comment on, but it is not ruled out. By the way, are there any other experts who have received tips and would like to express their opinions?]
Qiao Nian'an: I actually have a tip, but I think mine both fits and doesn't fit both of yours. My tip is: Fire works wonders this season.
Zheng Wei: I'm completely confused. So this season has both rain and new monsters, and the new monsters' weaknesses are fire, right?
Chen Mo: Probably, it seems, that's probably the case. I never thought that one day we would be troubled by too many prompts.
Yu Luowei wasn't sure whether rain would be one of the disasters of this season, but in her understanding, this wasn't the type of game where one could clear it by themselves after everyone else died. Even if Jin Yu had a bad character, there was no need for him to lie deliberately, so she included preparing some tools for the rainy season in her plan list.
Seeing that everyone in the channel was already thinking divergently and imagining what the monsters would look like, Yu Luowei decided to take this opportunity to sell some weapons.
The orange weapon definitely couldn't be sold. The others were the Novice Longsword, the Flame Sword, and the Moon Scythe. Yu Luowei first gave Fang Min and Zhao Linlang a copy of the latter two and asked them to choose one.
Fang Min: Weiwei, how could you be so kind! You're giving me both intelligence and weapons! I have nothing left to offer you in return. No, I can't take these weapons.
Yu Luowei: What are you talking about? Think of it this way: With weapons, you'll be able to kill more monsters this season and get better rewards. It won't be too late to share them with me then.
Fang Min: Woohoo, I originally thought I was dragged here because I did something bad in a past life, but now I think I must have saved the world again to meet you. So I'll choose the Moon Scythe. I've always loved sickle-shaped weapons when I played games, and this time I finally get to try it out.
Yu Luowei: This isn't a virtual game on Blue Planet. Be careful. Don't choose an inappropriate weapon just out of curiosity.
Fang Min: Hehe, don't worry about that. My ranking reward includes a weapon adaptation card that helps me instantly master the use of a certain weapon. It can be used three times. My previous weapon was just a green whip, which I couldn't bear to use, so this Moon Scythe is perfect for me.
[Fang Min: By the way, speaking of ranking rewards, I also got a lot of seeds. I can't help you with anything else, but I can still share some of this with you.]
Fang Min: Also, what do you think about Jin Yu's information? I still trust your suggestion.
Yu Luowei: My hints don't mention this, and I don't have any rain gear in my other rewards. I still think the monsters are plant-based. But regardless, it's always a good idea to prepare in advance. Rain gear is definitely getting more expensive on the market, so it's worth stocking up.
Fang Min: Okay! But I found the blueprints for a raincoat a while ago, and I didn't think I'd need them in the desert, but now I have. I'll send you two later!
After searching everywhere, Fang Min unexpectedly found the rain gear in her hand. After thanking Fang Min, Yu Luowei accepted the gift from Fang Min.
The seeds included wheat, bok choy, and sugarcane. A large area of newly upgraded farmland was still empty, so Yu Luowei gladly accepted it and planned to plant it tomorrow. The raincoat was a standard plastic one, but thicker than a disposable one. Yu Luowei hung it by the bed.
Zhao Linlang chose the Flame Sword and, as a token of gratitude, gifted Yu Luowei 10 iron blocks. Her thoughts on disasters coincided with Yu Luowei's, and she had just gone to the market to buy a few umbrellas. After Yu Luowei sought Fang Min's approval, she told Zhao Linlang that Fang Min had the blueprints for a raincoat, suggesting she contact Fang Min to order one later. Zhao Linlang readily accepted the offer and gifted Yu Luowei an umbrella.
After understanding the two's wishes, Yu Luowei began crafting weapons. He first made ten novice longswords and also sold the novice bow he had received at the beginning. Since everyone still alive had better weapons than this one, Yu Luowei didn't make many, and the price was just a compressed biscuit, which could be said to be a special offer for those who were now penniless due to accidents.
As for the Moon Scythe and Flame Sword, 61 of each were made. Of course, the ones given to friends underwent Yu Luowei's special processing—the Moon Scythe was embedded with a layer of ice blades, making it even sharper. The ice wouldn't melt unless it encountered a high-level fire monster. The Flame Sword was infused with Yu Luowei's fire magic, greatly increasing its attack power.
The weapons that needed to be sent out were sent out, and those that needed to be put on the shelves were put on the shelves. There were few people selling copper bars in the market, so Yu Luowei put 20 copper bars on the shelves and traded them for plastic and iron bars.
After putting the trees on the shelves, Yu Luowei went to the forest farm again to collect wood and plant new saplings. Fortunately, she had obtained a lot of fertilizer from decomposing the corpses in the cave. Otherwise, relying solely on her garbage decomposition would definitely not be enough.
After returning, Yu Luowei prepared to make the sauce. She had wanted to make this mushroom sauce for a long time, but she changed her mind and made dumplings instead, so she kept putting it off until now.
The frog legs and snake meat that were hung up earlier had already been exchanged for sweet bean paste and fermented black bean paste, which could now be used.
Before cooking, she took out half of the flour she had ground last time and made steamed buns. Then she took out two portions of mushrooms and two portions of animal meat, cut them into small pieces, and prepared all the other ingredients.
First marinate the meat for 15 minutes, then stir-fry the diced meat in a pan, then take it out and add the ingredients and sauce to the pan. After the red oil turns out, add the diced mushrooms. After stir-frying, add the meat pieces, stir-fry while seasoning briefly, simmer on low heat for a few minutes, turn off the heat, let it cool, and place it in the prepared wide-mouth plastic bottle.
The aroma had spread throughout the shelter while it was being fried. Yu Luowei was so greedy that she waited until the steamed buns were ready, not caring whether they were hot or not, and directly took one out to eat with it.
This steamed bun is the super plus version, as big as two of Yu Luowei's palms. Even so, Yu Luowei had to eat two more peaches before he was full.
After entering the game, Yu Luowei's appetite grew. However, because she had been eating animal meat for the past few days, her physical limit increased by 2. Although her physical fitness was already high, the increase was not very obvious, but it was a good thing after all.
Cooking and eating took quite a while. Normally, she should be asleep by now, but she had just finished eating and couldn't fall asleep. Now that her physical condition had improved, Yu Luowei naturally wanted to improve her magic level as well.
She hadn't seen any results from practicing magic these past few days, and her intuition told her that the upgrade in magic was probably related to the magic stone she had obtained yesterday, so she took out the magic stone now.
Before, he simply held the magic stone, but it was useless. This time, Yu Luowei tried to attack the magic stone with magic to see if there would be any different effect.
When I attacked with ice magic, the magic stone still had no reaction, but when I switched to fire magic, the magic stone lit up:
[It is detected that your fire magic level has reached the critical value. Do you want to convert 5 magic stones into 5 fire magic stones to upgrade your fire magic?
Note: The magic stone cannot be undone after conversion. 】
Finally, I found a solution for her. It seems that her ice magic hasn't reached the critical point yet, so she still needs to practice. Yu Luowei directly converted five magic stones and, following the system's instructions, pressed the magic stones one by one into her palm to absorb them.
After absorbing all five magic stones, the fire magic was also upgraded to level 4. Although the personal level did not increase, some attributes were added. Now Yu Luowei's personal information is as follows:
【Character Information
Name: Yu Luowei
Gender: Female
Age: 24 (49)
Level: 4
Constitution: 42/42
Attack: 45/45
Defense: 38/40
Speed: 38/43
Mental strength: 85 (843/850)
Luck: 7 (average 5)
Talents: Level 4 Mutated Fire Magic, Level 3 Ice Magic (unique)
Skills: Dao Sheng Yi, Lion Soul Flame Slash
Equipment: None
Because it was already late, Yu Luowei was not wearing any equipment. If he wore that set of orange equipment, Yu Luowei was confident that he could fight the two level five monsters one-on-one. Although he might not win, he should be able to seriously injure them and escape safely.
The fire magic has been upgraded, and Yu Luowei is now very energetic. He took out the lion blood ice and started to melt it directly.
After melting, Yu Luowei obtained about two liters of red liquid. She sniffed it and found no unusual odor. However, it was monster blood after all, and she wasn't a vampire, so she still had a slight resistance. However, in order to improve her strength, Yu Luowei poured about a quarter of it into the bamboo cup.
In order to make this "drink" taste better, Yu Luowei put a few slices of watermelon and orange and a few ice cubes into it, and dressed it up carefully, turning it into a high-end drink.
It was a shame there were no straws or fine glass goblets, otherwise the ceremony would have been more ceremonial. With everything ready, Yu Luowei picked up the bamboo cup filled with blood and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking it, Yu Luowei felt a slight increase in heat in her body. Knowing that this was improving her control over the fire element, Yu Luowei didn't feel anything else, so she didn't worry too much and took the opportunity to take a shower, as she didn't need hot water.
After coming out of the shower, Yu Luowei felt it carefully and found that the feeling had disappeared, which should have been completely absorbed.
He tested his fire magic again, and except for the flames being a bit bigger, there was no other difference. Perhaps he had drunk too little. But it was too late today, and Yu Luowei couldn't drink the rest all at once. He sealed the remaining lion blood and went to rest.
As usual, I checked the current market. A hundred wood shops were already occupied, and other wood items had been forcibly removed from the shelves. Everyone was moving quite quickly. However, because Yu Luowei was the first to get the forest farm and had the buff that cut tree growth time in half, she had the most wood on the shelves. Plus, her shop was right in front, so she still had the best business.
However, not all the other wood shops were anonymous; many had real names. Yu Luowei speculated that this might be to make it easier for people in the area to buy wood. After some thought, since she had already become famous thanks to this ranking, she decided to go with her real name as well, which would also make it easier for her real-life friends to leave messages for her in the shop.
Suddenly, thunder roared outside, illuminating the dark world for a moment, and then a light rain began to fall. The sound of rain penetrated the walls of the shelter and reached Yu Luowei's ears.
In the real world, falling asleep to the sound of rain would be quite romantic. But in the survival world, Yu Luowei was more worried. She didn't know what the forest would look like tomorrow because of the rain, and when the monsters would appear.
Yu Luowei put on her clothes and went to the window. The thunder had stopped and it was getting darker outside. The rain was falling heavily, forming a stream on the window, gurgling down.
I didn't expect the rain to fall directly into the base. The last blizzard was just outside the base. Yu Luowei hurriedly took out the manual and confirmed that the base's defenses had not decreased before going back to sleep.
