Chapter 65: The "Surprise" of the Last Day of the Ninth Day of the Wuwei Season
The magic skill scroll is the same trick that the polar bear uses to control the weather - Snowflake Bomb, which can generate a blizzard in a small area around it, and there is a 5% chance of generating a snowflake bomb.
This is a very good range skill, Yu Luowei learned it directly. Then he opened the skill card. The skill card is also very familiar, that is
There were two special building cards: one in the Defense Zone: the Training Hall, and one in the Commercial Zone: the Skill Card Shop. Both seemed quite useful. After level 3, the Commercial Zone had 10 additional slots, so Yu Luowei placed them all next to the Equipment Shop.
There's also the forest farm. After reaching level three, the system prompts you to merge it into the city, counting it as a production area alongside farmland and pastures. After the merger, Yu Luowei discovered that the Wood Shop had also gained a discount feature. Yu Luowei offered citizens a 30% discount to facilitate their purchases.
There were plenty of applicants for the farmland and ranch positions, but no professionals, as both jobs were practically extinct on Blue Star. Yu Luowei had Lin Zhixia inquire about the number of planter boxes or farmland at their base and confirm the personnel tomorrow. The day after tomorrow was settlement day, so they had to plant some crops in the farmland tomorrow, otherwise it would be a waste.
And the delicious food I promised Lu Zhi, which I'd finally finished after two nights of hustling. I sent it to him in two batches yesterday and today, along with a few extra-large ice cubes to prevent it from spoiling. Finally, I can rest.
As expected, we'll still be out fighting monsters tomorrow, but the other bosses aren't very high level either, so Yu Luowei plans to bring Ma Tuan with him. Ma Tuan has been at the base these past few days, and although Bang Bang has joined us later, he's grown tired of staying there.
Thinking about tomorrow's plan in her mind, Yu Luowei lay on the bed and slowly closed her eyes. She had originally planned to see what everyone was talking about in the manual, but now she could only read it in her dreams.
On the ninth day of the worm season, Yu Luowei woke up early. On the way to breakfast, Yu Luowei ran into the young lady who had borrowed his umbrella yesterday and learned that her name was Chen Shu.
They walked to the restaurant together and went to buy food separately. Yu Luowei sat in the restaurant to have breakfast. While eating, she heard people around her discussing what happened on the district channel last night. After all, it is human nature to listen to gossip, so Yu Luowei pricked up her ears to listen.
This season hasn't ended yet, and the insect plague is still raging. The group, in particular, has been attacked several times in the past few nights. This has also exacerbated the spread of infectious diseases. The number of people in the district has dropped precipitously in the past few days, now down to nearly 40,000.
Some organization leaders have been selling drugs these days. Although they're expensive, they insist they're affordable. Those discussing this are a bit puzzled. Although Bobby's city was upgraded to Level 3 yesterday afternoon, judging by their situation, it can only accommodate 500 people. The channel has been buzzing with activity these days, yet they're constantly recruiting. It's unclear what the criteria are.
Yu Luowei listened closely to the insect infestation. Perhaps because she had previously treated the pond, or perhaps because they had been disinfecting it for the past few days, they hadn't encountered any insect attacks at night. They'd only come across a few when exploring the forest, but they weren't a major threat.
It seems that the decision made in the past few days is relatively correct. After finishing his meal, Yu Luowei rushed to the processing center and brought lunch to Lin Zhixia and Fang Min.
The heads of the farmland and ranch have been chosen: Shen Yu and Xu Qiang. Xu Qiang is in his sixties, but thanks to the potion, he looks only forty. He's only level two, so his combat effectiveness is very low. He has a dozen planting boxes in his base, and relies on growing vegetables and crops for a living.
Chen Shu said he had adopted a pet, which gave him the ability to communicate with ordinary animals. These two people were a perfect match, so Yu Luowei immediately let them take up their posts.
The animals were a dozen sheep and cattle purchased from citizens in the past few days. As for the plant seeds, after Yu Luowei asked Xu Qiang, he first gave him wheat seeds and told him to plant them today.
After seeing them off, Yu Luowei changed the information about recruiting shop owners for the skill card store and the information about the training center - citizens can go there to practice their combat skills, and using skill cards there does not consume the number of times.
Now that most people have left, the three of them have a rare moment of free time, so they discuss the citizen rules. The initial version has been finalized. Although no one has broken the rules in the past few days, seeing that more and more citizens are coming, Yu Luowei issued a formal announcement today:
Welcome everyone to join Beicheng! The following are the rules of Beicheng, we hope everyone will abide by them:
1. Fighting is prohibited in the city. The use of skill cards is prohibited except in the training hall or under special circumstances. Violators will be permanently expelled from the city.
2. Stealing and robbery are prohibited in the city. Violators will be permanently expelled from the city after compensating for the losses;
3. Littering and damaging greenery is prohibited within the city. The first violation will result in a warning. The second violation will result in seven days of city sanitation. The third violation will result in permanent expulsion from the city. Please protect the environment, including the surrounding area.
I hope to complete the survival game with everyone! 】
The main reason is that there are no courts or prisons at present, so the only punishment currently available is expulsion. This will be revised later.
The city's operations are now barely on track. Although many people come to the processing center, most of them are self-service. Therefore, Lin Zhixia and Fang Min will each work one day starting from today, so that they can also go out and take a look.
As the number of people increased, Grandma Lin didn't want to be idle, so she went to the restaurant to help Su Tang since yesterday. With Lin Zhixia's help, Grandma Lin is now a level three and in great health, no worse than a young person. She can also chat with people who come to buy food. You know, Grandma Lin is a big chatterbox, and she was really bored a while ago.
After the announcement was made, Yu Luowei left the city and entered the forest with Ma Tuan. She left the low-level bosses to other citizens. She still remembered the location of the level 5 bosses and headed towards one of them.
This boss was a monkey, but it felt even less powerful than the two level 5 monsters she'd dealt with in Spring Season, so it took very little effort. Of course, Ma Tuan also put in a lot of effort.
Seeing that it was still early, Yu Luowei got the spoils and rushed to the location of the next level 5 boss without stopping. Then he followed the same method and solved another boss.
All I can say is that after killing the level 6 boss, everything else is too easy. Yu Luowei tidied himself up a bit, then, with Ma Tuan, he bravely teleported to the Black Abyss Entrance Lake.
The lake water was almost gone after making potions these past few days, so Yu Luowei came to fetch a few more buckets. Ma Tuan was originally playing outside, but then, perhaps thirsty, he ran to the lake to drink a few sips of water.
Yu Luowei wanted to stop them, but Ma Tuan said that the lake water was not harmful to them and could even improve their properties. Yu Luowei felt relieved and even got a few more buckets.
After teleporting directly back to the base, Yu Luowei went to the farm and ranch to inspect the situation. There was nothing unusual, except that she ran into Shen Yu's pet - a very cute chubby orange cat.
Yu Luowei's eyes suddenly lit up, and after asking for Shen Yu's consent, he stretched out his evil hand to the cute little piglet and sucked it hard.
According to Chen Yu, this cat wasn't just any cat; its ability was to devour. Yu Luowei understood: a primordial beast. However, the cat knew its situation, knowing it couldn't defeat Yu Luowei, and its owner didn't seem inclined to stop it, so it only struggled a few times before lying flat on its back.
Satisfied, he returned to his base. Under Ma Tuan's resentful gaze, Yu Luowei guiltily opened the four orange boxes he had received today.
The orange box also revealed two special building cards—a general store and a city magic tower. Yu Luowei immediately installed them in the city. However, because of this, the other items were few and ordinary.
The magic tower functions the same way as the base's magic tower, using the same "bullets." Yu Luowei added this casually. The grocery store is self-service and can be upgraded. Besides Yu Luowei, the city lord, being able to stock the shelves, other citizens can also stock their own extra items or purchase what they want. The higher the level, the more shelves are available.
One of the great things about cities is that once a new building is completed, it's automatically officially announced on the city's public channels, though the introductions are often a bit rudimentary. Yu Luowei then added details about the grocery store, sparking a lively response from everyone.
Everyone said that a grocery store logo appeared on the city page in their manual (which will appear when joining a city), and they can add new goods to the base, but they cannot see all the goods, and they have to go to the grocery store to buy them.
Yu Luowei could see all the items on the shelves and purchase them directly from the base—this was the privilege of the city lord. Everyone was so enthusiastic that the shelves of the first-level grocery store were almost full. Yu Luowei quickly bought a few skill cards and put them in the specialty store, freeing up a few shelves.
Since everyone was so enthusiastic, Yu Luowei didn't put anything up for sale. However, as the chat went on, a few discordant voices emerged:
Shiji: Oh my god, the bugs are going crazy, a black mass of them flying towards us. Did the system launch some new activity while we were out?
[Tang Xiaoxiao: Oh my god, the bugs are chasing us! They're everywhere outside the city walls!]
This game is really something, doing this on the last day. Yu Luowei rushed out of the base and saw a large swarm of bugs gathering over the city. Although it was not yet six o'clock, the sunlight was almost completely blocked, and the sky was much darker.
There were also many people standing on the roadside. When they first came out, they were extremely panicked. After watching for a while, they found that these bugs could not get in, so they became a little bolder. When they asked Yu Luowei in the channel whether they could climb up the city wall, they called their friends to go up the city wall to fight monsters - they only needed to attack and did not need to distract themselves with defense. Isn't this a great opportunity to earn points!
I had originally wanted to activate the magic tower, but I didn't expect my fellow citizens to be so resourceful. Yu Luowei also joined in the points-scoring. Although there were many insect monsters, their levels were generally low, and they would gather in places where people were.
There is strength in numbers, and since most people had bought new equipment and potions, they fought from dawn to dusk, eliminating the overwhelming swarm of bugs until only a thin line remained.
