Chapter 37: Spring Season, Day 9 and Settlement Day Event Ends Loot...
The progress of this area is still at the time when Ma Tuan was injured. The monster was also attacked by Ma Tuan at that time. Therefore, when Yu Luowei entered this area, he was attacked by the monster. Yu Luowei was already holding back a ball of fire in his heart, and now he was even more furious. He directly used the Ice Prison, and then attacked with Ice Arrows and Rockets in turn, directly performing a double ice and fire attack on the monster.
When attacking, Yu Luowei controlled the monster a little, leaving it with some blood, and then released Ma Tuan, letting Ma Tuan deal the final blow to the monster and avenge himself.
There was only one monster left in this area. After Ma Tuan killed it, two new paths appeared. Ma Tuan wanted to split his troops into two groups like yesterday, but Yu Luowei was a little scared and did not dare to let Ma Tuan go out again. Although children had to be sent out to gain experience eventually, Ma Tuan was only four months old now, so it was normal for Yu Luowei to be so worried.
I entered three areas in a row, all normal. But in the fourth area, the poison fog concentration suddenly reached 90%. I took three detoxification pills to barely stop the drop in my health.
Today's poisonous fog had a more unpleasant odor. Yu Luowei pulled out a gas mask from her bracelet and put it on before starting to fight the monsters. Furthermore, the plants and monsters had also become more tolerant to high temperatures. Yu Luowei raised the temperature to 70 degrees before the monsters revealed their true colors.
However, the monster's level did not increase for the time being, and because it had been baptized by high temperature before attacking Luo Wei, it was already in a seriously injured state. Yu Luo Wei still quickly solved the problem.
The sixth area was even more terrible. The concentration of the poisonous fog reached 100%. Yu Luowei did not take off his gas mask, but the stubborn poisonous fog still wanted to float into Yu Luowei's nose through the gaps.
Even after taking five detoxification pills at once, they only lasted ten minutes. There weren't even any vines in this area, only monsters already absorbed by the poisonous mist. Their attacks were also toxic, and Yu Luowei's health was dropping faster than the previous few days combined. But she was in the habit of replenishing her health before entering an area, so her health was still relatively healthy.
After dodging the monster's final attack, Yu Luowei used his flaming sword to kill it, then took an antidote pill to eliminate the negative state of poisoning left by the attack, and then Yu Luowei entered the next area.
The remaining areas returned to normal. After clearing one more area, seeing the clock approaching four o'clock, Yu Luowei pulled out her handbook and looked at the leaderboard. Not only was her score still at the top of the overall rankings, it had even improved a bit. She decided to clear one last area and then head home.
This time, there was only one path that emerged, and there was no chance to choose. After resting for a while, Yu Luowei stepped into the last fog of her day.
It was as if the game also knew her decision and had dealt her a big blow. As soon as Yu Luowei entered the last layer of fog, she realized something was different. Although the fog still obscured Yu Luowei's vision, she could keenly sense that something was staring at her.
The monsters here were surprisingly not hiding. Yu Luowei attacked the vines while slowly moving towards the direction she felt her sight was coming from. After she had eliminated all the vines, a gigantic banyan tree slowly appeared in her sight.
Beneath the banyan tree's branches and leaves were countless densely packed aerial roots, and Yu Luowei only saw the outermost ring. They had long sensed Yu Luowei's arrival and slowly released a toxic mist from their pores to welcome him.
This should be the only monster in this area, so Yu Luowei hurriedly hid in a place where there were no aerial roots, then quickly stuffed some detoxification pills into his mouth. Seeing that the next poisonous fog was still on the way, he put on a gas mask, and then took the flaming sword, cutting off the aerial roots on the road while approaching the banyan tree.
Seeing that many of its aerial roots had been chopped off, the banyan tree monster immediately increased the frequency of its poisonous mist release. Fortunately, Luo Wei was fully equipped with a gas mask and purple scale armor, and had taken a detoxification pill beforehand, so she was not seriously injured for the time being. She increased her speed and continued to go deeper.
Seeing the poison mist was ineffective, the banyan tree monster changed its strategy, pulling out its aerial roots and charging at Yu Luowei like spikes. There were too many of them for Yu Luowei to dodge, so he could only temporarily form an ice shield in front of him.
The moment the spikes pierced the shield, Yu Luowei hurriedly urged the ice mist to spread upward along the spikes. After freezing them, he urged the ice mist again to shatter the aerial roots directly into pieces. But after these roots shattered, more aerial roots rushed towards Yu Luowei.
Fortunately, the real body of the banyan tree was now visible. Yu Luowei sped up a bit, then condensed several shields behind him to block the attacks from the aerial roots, while he tried to find a way to attack the real body of the banyan tree.
The banyan tree itself was incredibly thick, only a quarter of it visible in the mist. However, it had no other means of attack, only the fallen leaves and aerial roots. Yu Luowei congealed another ice cap and put it on his head, then drew his flaming sword and began to attack.
The banyan tree itself had a very high defense. Yu Luowei chopped it several times, but only left a few marks on the bark, not even being able to burn it. These attacks also angered the banyan tree monster. It controlled its aerial roots and fallen leaves, and attacked Yu Luowei with a much faster speed and frequency. Some of the shields Yu Luowei had placed were already half broken.
You can't keep wasting time like this. Think of a way to end the battle quickly. If that doesn't work, you can use the kill card.
However, the Kill Card had a limited number of uses, so it was a last resort. This was her final zone for the day anyway. A few days ago, she'd seen chats show that when your health dropped to zero, you were simply forced to stop participating in the event, but your ranking and loot remained. Yu Luowei decided to use her skills. As long as she could kill the banyan tree, even if it hit other plants, she could let it drop to zero. This would save her having to click to exit the event later.
The decision was made. Yu Luowei first used the Ice Prison on the roots of the banyan tree. The banyan tree was too big, and the size of the prison this time had reached the maximum size that Yu Luowei could use. After controlling the banyan tree, Yu Luowei did not stop and immediately used Soul Devouring Flame Slash. Then he took out the skill card and used Lightning Judgment. With these three methods, the banyan tree quickly tried to summon more aerial roots to block the attack for itself, but most of them were intercepted by Yu Luowei, and could only disappear unwillingly into the air in the lightning and flames.
As the banyan tree disappeared, Yu Luowei's health gradually dropped to zero. Accompanied by a prompt sound of "Your health has returned to zero and you will be forcibly cleared out of the activity", Yu Luowei returned to the shelter the next second.
She first took a look at the rankings. Needless to say, the district rankings were great, and in the overall rankings, the gap between her and the second place was nearly 20,000 points. Unless the second place cleared five more areas with a lot of vines in the next hour or so, there would be no possibility of being overtaken.
Relaxing in the massage chair, she counted her spoils. The Life Fruit was no longer useful to her, so she combined the twelve Life Fruits she'd acquired today with the five remaining yesterday, using them as snacks. She also made the Fountain Fruit into detoxification pills as usual; perhaps they would be useful later.
There are now 75 Supply Chests (White), including the previous ones. There are also 20 Supply Chests (Green), and a little less (6) Supply Chests (Blue). Finally, killing the big banyan tree gives you an Orange Supply Chest.
Yu Luowei opened the orange and blue treasure chests first. Inside the castle chest was a furniture blueprint—a wallpaper blueprint. Of course, the orange treasure chest's furniture blueprint was also unusual. This wallpaper had the ability to adjust the temperature within the shelter. While that might be useful for others, it was a bit useless for someone like Luowei who could adjust the temperature herself. However, for comfort's sake, Yu Luowei still put up the wallpaper.
In addition, the orange treasure chest contained five lion bloods, which looked exactly like the one Yu Luowei had gotten from the lion last time, as well as some other high-level monster materials. The blue treasure chest contained a Lingyun Pomelo seed, four primary planting boxes, some moon onion seeds, three bracelet grid expansion cards, and some material cards.
The Lingyun Pomelo Fruit bore a striking resemblance to the Yunyou Fruit Yu Luowei had obtained last season. Curious, Yu Luowei used the bracelet expansion card and took it out. He checked the instructions and saw that, like the Yunyou Fruit, it increased the attack limit by two points. However, each player could only eat five, with a five-day interval between each. Furthermore, this seed couldn't be planted with other regular seeds; each would occupy a primary farmland. No wonder there were four planting boxes in the blue treasure chest.
By the way, he used an upgrade card to turn the planting box into farmland and placed it together with the original primary farmland in the base, and then planted Lingyun pomelo fruits. The time for this to mature was quite fast, only three days, and Yu Luowei did not use any fertilizer.
As for the remaining white treasure chests and green treasure chests, there were too many of them. There happened to be many people in the channel who were trapped in the shelter on the first day of the activity because their health was reduced to zero and they were unable to go out to find daily necessities. Yu Luowei took out 25 white treasure chests and 5 green treasure chests and sold them in the chat channel (treasure chests cannot be traded in the trading market). Blueprints or materials can be used, but the number of low-level materials required will also increase accordingly.
The event wasn't over yet, and most people in the chat channel couldn't access it at this time. Therefore, as soon as Yu Luowei sent out the message, she received many private messages wanting to buy. After carefully selecting and selling all the treasure chests before six o'clock, Yu Luowei finally opened the remaining treasure chests.
This was a bonanza of supplies. Two cartons of toilet paper, which had been nearly depleted, arrived, along with a variety of drinks, meats, vegetables (and seeds). Luo Wei even spotted a box of instant Xinjiang fried rice noodles and a bag of naan. All of this stuff filled the storage room to the brim. Even if she didn't go out exploring, this little bit of food would be enough for two months of food.
Yu Luowei hadn't had fried rice noodles in a while, so she decided to make Xinjiang fried rice noodles tonight. But before that, thinking that the plants in the fields would mature tomorrow, the settlement date, Yu Luowei planted all the seeds she could.
After returning, Yu Luowei first boiled water in a pot to cook the noodles, then took out a piece of chicken, cut it into strips, blanched it in the pot, and marinated it. Although authentic Xinjiang fried rice noodles usually use celery, it is the vegetable she dislikes most. Now that there is an abundance of supplies, she just sold the celery she had harvested at the market, so she used bok choy instead.
Yu Luowei added not only a piece of naan but also some wide noodles to this Xinjiang fried rice noodle dish, and paired it with iced cola, forcing the spicy taste to become medium spicy. Even so, Yu Luowei was still sweating profusely while eating, she hadn't even sweated so much when killing monsters.
While eating here, Yu Luowei didn't forget about the glutinous rice balls. She could eat as much as she wanted, especially after growing up. If the jade bamboo wasn't ripe tomorrow, the current stock wouldn't last long.
After accepting the ten blank skill cards and other materials received from the trading market, and taking out five to enter the Ice Prison skills, Yu Luowei and Ma Tuan welcomed the second settlement day.
[Hello everyone! First of all, congratulations to all the survivors who made it to the end of Season 2!
All plants planted during the season, regardless of how far from maturity they are, can be harvested on the settlement date.
This season's ranking list will be announced soon, and the corresponding rewards will be distributed via email in 10 minutes. Please check it out, survivors.
In addition, since the fog has changed the terrain, the environment around each survivor will be refreshed in the third season to add some freshness to the survivors. Therefore, the fog outside the base on the settlement day will still exist, and it is not safe outside.
I wish you all a happy Settlement Day! We look forward to seeing you all on the next Settlement Day!
Since Yu Luowei, a survivor in this zone, has achieved the first place in the six rankings, a special tip for the next season is: it's best to upgrade your shelter and base on the settlement day, but don't raise the level too high.
This settlement date reminder was actually because she was number one on the six lists. Needless to say, there must be another uproar in the communication channel. Yu Luowei did not open the manual, but thought about other things.
Unexpectedly, the surrounding environment would refresh. Yu Luowei felt both regretful and relieved. He regretted not catching more fish in the stream and not discovering the copper mine earlier and digging it all out. He was relieved that he had dug enough copper ore the day before the vines became more numerous. And maybe, the mountain would be refreshed.
Of course, none of this mattered now. What mattered was that she was number one on the six rankings. Finally, she could receive a new Easter egg reward and open the golden treasure chest she had found last time.
This time there were three Easter egg rewards. Yu Luowei smashed the eggs and got two golden keys and a golden treasure chest.
Yu Luowei excitedly opened two golden treasure chests and obtained a city-building order and a directional selection card.
Yu Luowei took a look at it. This city-building order was used to gather people together in the future. Only by using the city-building order could a city be created and then other people could be summoned to live there. The specific function was similar to the lord order in the novels she often read.
As for the directional selection card, it can be used now. Its function is to select another zone or zones to merge. Selecting a zone consumes one chance, and there are three chances in total, just enough for Yu Luowei to merge the zones of Lin Zhixia and the other three.
Without bothering to open the six red treasure chests, Yu Luowei first went to the message board to ask about the area codes and population of the four of them. The two districts where Lin Zhixia, Su Tang, and Jiang Nian'an were located plus her district had a population of almost 90,000 people. As for Lu Zhi, she would have to wait until next time. Yu Luowei told them the news, and the other three were very excited. Lu Zhi expressed his understanding and said that he was looking forward to meeting them in the chat channel.
After filling in two area codes on the directional selection card, Yu Luowei opened the red treasure chest. This time, the chest contained some items that were clearly compatible with the city-building order, such as the special building card for a school and a special building card for a park. There was also a special building card for an observation tower, which couldn't be used in Yu Luowei's base. She suspected that building the city would require dealing with a large number of monsters.
The red treasure chest contained not only 50 Black Gold Stones and Golden Silk Wood, but also the Level 6 Building Blueprints, the Manor Core, and the Level 5 Fence Blueprints. Thinking of the hint he'd gotten after working so hard to get the first place on the list, Yu Luowei decided to upgrade the fence first.
The fence was an earth fence, earth-based, but she'd unboxed a few days ago and had a batch of various crystals, so she made one straight away. The base upgrade gave her eight more arrow towers, so Yu Luowei built two of each, each for thunder, wind, gold, and ice, and placed them inside the base. But she couldn't go out today, so she had to put the trap thing aside for a while.
As for the shelter, she had upgraded the base the day before yesterday and had just made all these new things. Even though she had just sold some treasure chests to replenish it, Yu Luowei was still a little short of materials. However, thinking of the second half of the prompt, she didn't waste any more time collecting materials for the upgrade.
Since she couldn't go out today, Yu Luowei decided to use up some supplies and make some delicious food. She unpacked a lot of plastic and a vacuum sealer, which she made into several sealed bags. She would put the prepared food in them and seal them again. If she came home late, she could just heat it up and eat it.
Come to think of it, is this also considered a kind of pre-prepared meal? Thinking back to before the zombie apocalypse, she hated pre-prepared meals the most, but she didn't expect that now she would become a member of the pre-prepared meal production team.
Based on her inventory and tastes, Yu Luowei prepared a menu: five servings of big plate chicken, three servings of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, three servings of braised fish, four servings of braised spareribs, four servings of braised prawns, five servings of crayfish, five servings of beer duck, five servings of sweet and sour pork, three servings of twice-cooked pork, five servings of three delicacies, and six servings of cola chicken wings. Oh, and they'd also fry some crispy meat with the animal meat.
After everything was done, Yu Luowei asked Fang Min and Zhao Linlang in the group if they wanted to eat the meal she cooked for them. The two were also packing up. Their rankings had improved significantly this time, and when they saw Yu Luowei's message, they immediately freed up their hands to reply, and then flattered Yu Luowei in the group, of course, they also received a reward.
Yu Luowei worked until after five in the afternoon, finally finishing all the dishes and packing them up. Since she didn't have a refrigerator, and even if she did, she couldn't keep it running all the time with her current electricity card reserves, Yu Luowei used ice magic to create a small ice storage room, and then placed all the plastic-wrapped dishes in it one by one.
After giving Fang Min and Zhao Linlang their portions, Yu Luowei began to enjoy her own dinner. As for Ma Tuan, Yu Luowei remembered that pandas were omnivores, so she tentatively fed it some crispy meat. Unexpectedly, Ma Tuan also liked it very much. Yu Luowei decided to make a portion for Ma Tuan as well when she made it next time.
After spending so long cooking in the afternoon, Yu Luowei was practically soaked in the smell of cooking fumes. She quickly took a shower, changed into a pair of pajamas she had just unpacked, and then lay comfortably on the bed.
Yu Luowei opened the chat channel she had ignored all day and scrolled through it. As expected, it was filled with nothing but compliments. But because she hadn't responded, her admiration for her was gradually replaced by insults directed at Jin Yu.
Since he took first place in all six rankings this time, while Fang Min took second place in the Jinyu District, his misinformation at the start of the second season and his subsequent promotion of the uselessness of identification cards were resurfaced, completely destroying his previously improved reputation. Even Ma Ming, who had always spoken up for him, gradually faded away amidst the barrage of criticism.
Just when Yu Luowei was about to think that there was no more useful information in the chat channel, he suddenly saw this message:
[Meng Jing: Speaking of which, Jin Yu's support group isn't very reliable. Does Yu Luowei have any interest in starting one? She was able to reach the top of the six rankings without relying on a support group before, and our special reminder this time is also thanks to her. I believe in Yu Luowei's character, and I believe the support group she created will definitely be better than Jin Yu's.]
Some of the responses below were supportive, while others were like, "Once bitten, afraid of the ropes for ten years," worrying that Yu Luowei would end up like Jin Yu. If Yu Luowei had seen this message yesterday, she definitely wouldn't have taken it seriously. But having just received the city construction order today, she's somewhat tempted to set up a mutual aid group.
However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long term, at least until she can chat with Lin Zhixia tomorrow before making a decision. After all, if she really wants to set up a mutual aid group, she can't manage it alone.
The latest news is about the discussion of the prompt. This time, the prompt did not indicate the disaster of the next season, which caused everyone in the zone to panic and rush to buy materials to upgrade their bases. They all felt that their base level was not high enough, so they were desperate to improve it a little bit.
Fang Min and Zhao Linlang also sent a few messages in the group chat, but they were about the environmental refresh. Fang Min's surroundings were already poor, so she didn't mind, but Zhao Linlang was worried about what to do if the iron mines were refreshed. Yu Luowei comforted her a few words, and then they talked about the leaderboard rewards.
This time, Zhao Linlang got a lucky card that could tell her what materials were most needed for the next disaster. Zhao Linlang used it as soon as she got it and sent the information to the group: collect more wood, stones, cement, and red bricks.
Zhao Linlang's mood had recovered somewhat by this time, and she was still able to joke:
Zhao Linlang: Fortunately, there's no iron ore, otherwise I'd definitely rush into the fog to dig some more.
