Chapter 56: Day 4 of the Borer Season, Day 1 of the Insect Trial
The materials that can be fused into weapons were adjusted according to their properties, and fused into the Flame Sword and Ice Bow respectively. In the end, the attack power of the two increased by 50 and 60 respectively, which is equivalent to an ordinary level 3 weapon.
No matter what kind of weapon you condense, as long as it uses magic, you can enjoy this attack power bonus, including the flame-type insect-killing swatter. Yu Luowei was very satisfied with this.
The purple treasure chest also yielded a set of level 4 pet-specific equipment. Although there were no blueprints, Yu Luowei tried it on Ma Tuan first. The stats were good, and Ma Tuan liked it. Yu Luowei then simply fused some of the materials, doubling the defense and significantly increasing the speed. She then put it away, intending to give it to Ma Tuan again when they went out.
After today's trip to the base to exterminate flies, Yu Luowei only had one bottle of insecticide left. He opened the points mall to see if he could buy some more. Even someone like Yu Luowei, who needed the least insecticide, had already used up five bottles of intermediate-grade insecticide in two days, let alone everyone else. It was obvious that even if there was any on the market, it would be astronomically expensive.
Because the forest farm required constant purchases of saplings, Yu Luowei's VIP level had already risen to level seven, just one and a half levels away from the maximum level nine. The points mall had a lot more items, such as various special recipes, potion formulas, and equipment blueprints, but there was no pesticide.
Well, maybe it's because the game is consciously controlling the amount of pesticide? Yu Luowei ran out of the base and took out all the blue treasure chests from the space. There were ten in total. After opening them, he found eight bottles of intermediate pesticide, two air conditioners, and a refrigerator.
Finally, there was a refrigerator. Yu Luowei was sure she was the last one in the gaming world in this regard. The refrigerator was installed in the basement. The air conditioner was a regular wall-mounted air conditioner. Yu Luowei installed one in the bedroom and one in the studio.
After putting away the other things he had opened from the treasure chest and inspecting the interior of the shelter, Yu Luowei fell asleep peacefully after finding no flying insects.
On the fourth day of the Wuwei Era, Yu Luowei, woken by the alarm clock, learned the name of this season from the page in the handbook. After a simple breakfast, Yu Luowei went out early as usual.
However, as soon as he came downstairs, Yu Luowei was shocked - outside the window, there was a swarm of flies and mosquitoes. Yu Luowei was very suspicious that if he went out now, even if he was wearing advanced equipment, he would be sucked into a mummy in an instant, after all, his hands and face were still exposed.
This is too strange. I didn't see the base's defense power decline in the manual just now, and they just sprayed insecticide last night. Yu Luowei opened the communication channel to see what everyone else was doing.
On the communication channel, people who get up early also face the same dilemma as Yu Luowei, and they are even forced to get up early - there are not enough pesticides, no refrigerators, and the food suddenly accelerated the process of decay last night, and mosquitoes and flies occupied the shelter first.
He didn't dare open the doors and windows. With so many insects outside, countless insects would fly in as soon as he opened them. Yu Luowei could only sit on the sofa, scrolling through the channels while waiting for the system's prompt. In such an abnormal situation, the system must take some action.
Sure enough, at eight o'clock, the system prompt arrived:
[Today is the fourth day of the Wormwood Era, and the two-day insect trial has officially begun!
On the first day, before 6 pm, eliminating 80% of the insects in the base will be considered as completing the trial. The base's defenses will have no effect on insects, and outside insects can enter and exit the base freely.
The attack facilities within the base can launch attacks inside the base, but the attack power is reduced by half and other facilities in the base may be damaged.
Today's trials are ranked based on the time it takes to complete the trial.
Special tip: Be careful of areas in the base where insects may breed!
The next day, before 6 p.m., the base's defense against insects will be restored, and surviving the insect attack will be considered completing the trial.
Today's trial is ranked based on the degree of damage to surrounding resources.
After completing the trial, you will receive 5 supply treasure chests (purple) at 8 pm on the same day. The ranking rewards for the two days will be obtained on the settlement day.
In addition, if the area completion number is above 50%, special features will be enabled, so please give it your all!
Why did this season's event come so early and last so short? Without time to dwell on it, Yu Luowei activated the magic tower and the electric grid first. As for the arrow tower, since the mosquitoes were smaller and their attack power was reduced by half, Yu Luowei had no intention of using it.
While the magic tower was attacking, Yu Luowei quickly bought a set of protective clothing that could cover his entire body from the points mall. Because the last item mentioned the rewards for this area, Yu Luowei took advantage of this world to make some plastic sheets and hundreds of flame insect repellents. He used the plastic sheets himself and put the flame insect repellents on the trading market. He also used points to move this product to the first page.
After the concentration of insects outside decreased a little, Yu Luowei drank the vitality potion to replenish the mental strength he had just consumed, then put on protective clothing and rushed out, waving the flame insecticide in his right hand and the insecticide in his left hand, attacking everywhere in the base and replenishing ammunition for the magic tower by the way.
Ma Tuan couldn't handle this kind of thing, so Yu Luowei didn't let it out. After restocking the magic tower with ammunition, Yu Luowei went to the farmland, fountain, and animal enclosure.
The farmland had been cleared yesterday, so there weren't any new flies today. But the frenzied swarm of flies and mosquitoes had destroyed a lot of crops, leaving Yu Luowei distressed. She pulled out a large plastic sheet she'd made beforehand and covered it with it, preventing the insects from further devastating the farmland.
The same thing happened with the fountain and the animal enclosure. Fortunately, the fountain seemed to have automatic defense measures, and there were no fallen insect corpses in it, but Yu Luowei still took out a huge plastic box and put it on it.
The chickens and ducks that were caught earlier became excited. The animal enclosure was not completely sealed, and insects flew in from time to time, which provided the chickens and ducks with a meal and satisfied their appetite.
Seeing that the colorful chickens and ducks had eaten so much and didn't seem to be poisoned, and were even eager to break out of the fence to eat a full meal, Yu Luowei finally felt relieved. They also directly protected the rabbits and lambs from having their livers sucked out.
However, the number of chickens and ducks was too small, so Yu Luowei finally blocked the gap with plastic sheeting, leaving only a tiny gap, so that if any insects really got in, the chickens and ducks could deal with them.
A lot of bugs had gathered at the base recently, especially around the power grid, which was about to catch fire. After inspecting the base, Yu Luowei realized there were no bugs spawning anywhere in the base; they were all from outside. He refilled the magic tower's ammunition and prepared to go out and eradicate the source.
The first possible location that entered Yu Luowei's mind was the small pond he had encountered during his previous exploration. He had previously set up a teleportation point at the boss's entrance, so Yu Luowei teleported directly there.
Not long after walking forward, Yu Luowei saw the familiar small pond. In fact, it was not so familiar to him now, because in just two days, many large and small ponds appeared around it.
These ponds were indeed the birthplace of insects. Countless black insects flew up from the ponds and headed towards Yu Luowei's base. Many of the insects spotted Yu Luowei and immediately turned around and headed towards him.
After using a flame insecticide to kill them, Yu Luowei attached a thin layer of flame around himself. This protective suit has a certain fire-proof effect, but he doesn't know how it will perform when facing the fourth-level fire magic. Therefore, Yu Luowei planned to make a quick decision and quickly rushed towards the ponds.
The number of insects produced in the ponds where the poisonous fruit was thrown before was obviously much less than that of the others. Knowing that the poisonous fruit was useful, Yu Luowei directly used the enhanced version this time - the poisonous potion. Half a bottle of it in a pond was enough to kill most of the insects. Combined with the insecticide, the efficiency increased sharply. Not long after, Yu Luowei had dealt with all the ponds here.
After observing the surroundings for a while, Yu Luowei left when there were no more insects in the pond. As for why she didn't freeze it, she tried it last time and couldn't freeze it. This was also an important reason why she suspected that mosquitoes and flies would be born here.
Following the direction the bugs were moving, Yu Luowei eliminated the bugs one by one and returned to the base. Although there were still many bugs in the base, knowing that he had solved the source, he had more confidence and strength to attack.
Because the base was so large, it took a lot of effort to completely clean it up. We sprayed pesticide all over the base to prevent any insects from slipping through the net. Finally, the base was cleaned up before three o'clock in the afternoon.
Well, maybe it wasn't that clean, Yu Luowei thought about it, went back to the points mall and bought a few bottles of disinfectant alcohol, spraying the base, focusing on the power grid and plastic sheeting. Yu Luowei wanted to take the plastic sheeting and give it a bath in alcohol.
The protective suit had been surrounded by Yu Luowei's fire magic for a long time and was already tattered. After dealing with all the bugs, Yu Luowei burned it. At this time, she also disinfected her body before entering the shelter with confidence.
While most people were still battling the bugs in the base, the flame-type insect killers in the market had already sold out. Seeing this, Yu Luowei made some more items to sell and bought some protective clothing for survivors who didn't have a high enough VIP level. She also shared information about the pond and the poisonous fruit to give others some ideas.
Today was really a big battle. Only when Yu Luowei relaxed did he feel tired and a little nauseous. After all, the psychological damage caused by so many flies and mosquitoes was too great.
Even though he was wearing protective clothing, Yu Luowei still took off his equipment and washed it twice in the washing machine. He also applied shower gel twice before finally getting rid of the faint stench that came from being among the bugs for so long.
After asking about her friends' situations, Yu Luowei had sent each of them a flame-shaped insect repellent swatter as soon as she made one that morning. Unfortunately, no one had replied yet. Thinking of her friends' fighting power, Yu Luowei reluctantly put aside her worries and went to the kitchen to prepare her late lunch.
