Apocalypse Lord

Chapter 38: Spring Rain 4

On the 15th day, the weather was fine.

The bamboo umbrella was not sold.

On the 16th day, overcast turned to cloudy.

The transaction volume is 1.

On the 17th day, the weather was fine.

No one cares about bamboo umbrellas again.

Seeing more than 20 bamboo umbrellas left to eat ashes, Liang Hui was a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't calm down at work.

Shi Jianshan said, "What are you afraid of? Isn't it still ‘Spring, Day of Disaster’?"

Taking a step back, even if the rainy season is really over, bamboo umbrellas are sold as equipment, with a price tag of 20 copper coins. Someone will always ask for it.

Liang Hui didn't say a word, working absent-mindedly.

Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a heavy rain outside the village. The sound is clear and beautiful, especially sweet.

Liang Hui, "!!!"

"It's raining!" He stood up abruptly and shouted excitedly.

"Yeah, it's raining." Shi Jianshan exhaled and thought to himself, he had to wait!

**

At the same time, outside Lingyun Village.

"No, it's raining!"

Different from Liang Hui's excitement, a member of the four-person hunting team was flustered and hurriedly sought shelter from the rain.

Who knows--

A companion took out a hat and put it on, while muttering, "I guessed that this broken game would not be so kind, and there will definitely be rainy days!"

"Who said no?" Another person put on the poncho. "So I specially found someone to make the poncho. I heard that putting it on is the same as wearing a poncho. It has a very good rainproof effect."

Another companion took the umbrella silently, "It's different for me, I bought a bamboo umbrella."

I want to find a cave to hide from the rain, the only teammate without rain gear, "..."

If it's a brother, let's get in the rain together!

Secretly brought rain gear, it is plastic comradeship at first sight!

**

When it rained, Yunling was taking the npc to collect purple sweet potatoes.

Seeing the rain in the air, she immediately took off the purple and orange outfits, and put on the white outfits. Then he wore a hat and a fur coat, and he was fully armed.

"Do you still dig the purple sweet potato?" Guard B asked.

"Dig!" Yunling made a decisive decision, "There is still a little left. Go back to the village as soon as you finish digging."

"Yes." NPC took orders.

In the distance, the npc team is hunting/leveling.

Using their skills to quickly end the battle, they retreated to Yunling's side, took the hat and the robes and put them on.

【Successfully collect, get purple sweet potato*1. 】

The system prompt sounded several times, and finally the purple sweet potato was dug out.

"Return to the village." Yunling gave an order, and the NPCs lined up and returned in an orderly manner.

**Lingyun Village.

It was dusk, and the territory was very lively.

"I want to buy bamboo umbrellas! Five!" One person rushed to Shi Jianshan, speaking quickly, "The 150 copper coins are all here. Give me the umbrella."

Shi Jianshan patiently explained, "On a sunny day, an umbrella of 30 copper coins. On a rainy day, an umbrella of 50 copper coins. If you want to buy 5, you should give me 250 copper coins."

The man was shocked and stunned, "Why did you bring a seat to start the price? I saw that everyone needs an umbrella, right?"

"The price list has always been like this. It's not about taking advantage of the fire and sitting on the ground to raise the price." Shi Jianshan looked indifferent, "If it's too expensive, why don't you buy an umbrella in advance if it is sunny a few days ago?"

The man was speechless.

Buy it or not?

There was a fierce struggle in the man's heart.

Before he could make up his mind, another person rushed over, "Boss! Buy umbrellas! Two!"

"A handful of 50 copper coins on rainy days." Shi Jianshan reminded.

"Okay." The visitor responded happily, "Give you the money and give me the umbrella."

Seeing the mountain calmly collect money.

"A handful of 50 copper coins, the durability is only 10, how can you give the money so happy?" The customer who came first was puzzled.

"You don't know this, right?" The person who arrived later smiled, "Don't look at the durability limit of the bamboo umbrella, which is very slow. I guess that buying a bamboo umbrella can last the entire rainy season."

"Walking with an umbrella in the rain, other equipment will not get wet, and the durability drop speed has become the same as before. This way, you can move freely outside on rainy days."

"Isn't collecting fragrant? Isn't it important to level up? What is an umbrella for spending 50 copper coins!"

The customer who came first suspected that he had met the trust. But it is undeniable that he was moved.

Without waiting to think about it, a large group of players came over and said, "I heard there are bamboo umbrellas for sale here? Give me one!"

The crowd was vying to compete, and the scene was chaotic.

Liang Hui stood by and stared blankly, recalling what Shi Jianshan had said to him, "Do as I said, don’t ask why. After a while, I will help you purchase the official residence qualification of Lingyun Village, and then give it away. You have a suite."

At the beginning, he thought that Shi Jianshan was talking big, and he was slanderous for a while. With their friendship, he would help without a carrot.

Unexpectedly, the promise might come true soon.

Liang Hui was dizzy, feeling stunned by the pie falling from the sky.

**

"Where can I sell my clothes?" Several players walked in a hurry and asked when they caught someone.

It didn't take long before they found a suspicious booth surrounded by crowds.

"Line up! Don't crowd!" Zhang Hongbo shouted hoarsely in order to maintain order.

However, the customer did not cooperate.

"We all arrived at about the same time, so how do we put it in order?"

"Little brother, if I tell you, don't queue up. Whoever pays the higher price will go to whomever the clothes go."

"I said, don't talk nonsense, someone is coming again! If you buy a dressing suit, you can pay for it and leave?"

"That won't work! One for me, one for my family, and one more for a rainy day, I have to buy three!"

"How many pieces of clothing are there in total? You account for three of them alone. Are you in a loss?"

Seeing that the customers were about to quarrel, Zhang Hongbo quickly changed the subject, "You come first, you pay the money first."

"Okay." The man was overjoyed and paid decisively to get the clothes.

Take a closer look--

【Name: Fungus (Rain Gear)】

Quality: Normal

Durability: 15/15

Wearing effect: stamina +1.

The properties are average, but it's good to keep out the rain.

The man took his clothes and left happily.

"Obviously I came first..." the person next to him muttered dissatisfied.

"You are the second one." Zhang Hongbo said.

The first and second do not really matter, the most important thing is to be able to buy equipment.

Hearing that, the customers immediately became happy, and happily paid, got the goods, and left.

Zhang Hongbo wiped his sweat, "The next one--"

In an instant, all five pieces of clothing were sold out.

The players who didn't buy it were very dissatisfied, "Why are there so few?"

Zhang Hongbo smiled bitterly, "It takes a lot of effort to make up this stuff. I can make up to 2-3 pieces a day."

On the other hand, it didn't rain a few days ago, and no one bought the clothes if they were too much. Grandpa kept a few stocks, and re-made straw sandals.

Unexpectedly, the weather suddenly changed, and the rainy season came again, and the clothes were sold crazy all of a sudden!

What can players do if the goods are sold out? Of course, I can only leave anxiously and wander around the village to see if there is any inventory left of bamboo umbrellas and hats.

After carefully counting his income, Zhang Hongbo showed a trace of ecstasy in his eyes-enough money! Not only can he and his grandfather become official residents of Lingyun Village, they can also buy a wooden house!

**

"Here, the hat you want." Yang Yong said as he handed out the brand new hat.

The customers were pleasantly surprised and full of praise, "Lao Yang, you really have nothing to say about your craftsmanship! The people are kind!"

How many people out there are now asking for rain gear like hats/lichens/bamboo umbrellas?

Although the deposit has been paid, if the other party just refuses to deliver the goods and takes the product to auction outside, there is nothing he can do.

Fortunately, the worry did not happen. Lao Yang delivered the hat as scheduled, and the workmanship was as meticulous as before.

Yang Yong smiled graciously, "I've said that I will help you make a hat, so I won't miss the appointment."

Craftsmen, trustworthiness is the most important thing.

The customer was ready to move, "Lao Yang, are you busy lately? Will you make a bamboo umbrella? Or if I pay a deposit, you can make a bamboo umbrella for me?"

"Sorry, I can't do it." Unexpectedly, Yang Yong refused.

"Why?" The customer wondered, "Couldn't you do it?"

"It will be," Yang Yong smiled helplessly, "but there is no material."

The customer was speechless, and it took a long time to say, "So, bamboo umbrellas are still a monopoly business? Do you want to buy them at the stalls outside?"

"Only he has the materials, and he can only make bamboo umbrellas. There is no way." Yang Yong shrugged.

**

Tailor shop.

Tailor B respectfully reported, "My lord, apart from the personal use, there are five items left in the warehouse."

Yun Ling pondered for a moment, "All are on the shelf for sale, not one piece left."

"Yes." Tailor B respectfully said.

"My lord, I..." Tailor A hesitated.

Yunling understands that not everyone has the money to buy six pieces of equipment. Players have limited spending power, so it is understandable to choose more cost-effective self-made equipment. After all, in the eyes of some people, cheap is the last word.

In the end, the store business was still affected.

She understood very well, and calmly said, "Don't make cloth shoes, cloth armor, and belts for the time being. There is enough stock now, and new ones will be prepared when they are sold out."

"Then what shall I do in the future?" Tailor A asked.

"Hunting quivers, simple bandages, high-quality bandages, all do." Yunling said with a smile, "I didn't let you learn the drawings of'Linen Backpack' and'Cotton Backpack' before? You can make a few when you have time to sell."

"Yes." Tailor A solemnly responded.

"That's right," Yun Ling turned his gaze to Tailor B, "It's useful to make some assassin's face masks in time."

"Good." Tailor B said.

Yun Ling said in his heart, waiting for the face towel to be ready, let the npc all put on it.

In this way, no one will be surprised by the NPC mask.

Because this is equipment and must be worn, masking is purely a last resort.

**

Wood workshop.

Bamboo spears, wooden spears, and bamboo shields are cheap and easy to use, and the business of the wood workshop is also affected.

Yunling ordered, "The production of basic equipment such as sticks, wooden shields, and sticks will be stopped, and blue quality equipment such as willow sticks, willow shields, willow sticks, and willow bows will be sold in the future."

"Yes." Carpenter B looked calm.

Carpenter Armor was sweating profusely, "My lord...I can only make basic equipment and torches..."

"Just learn it." As he said, Yunling took out four drawings. What is recorded on the paper is exactly how to make willow sticks, willow shields, willow sticks, and willow bows.

First Carpenter was surprised and delighted, his voice trembling, "Thank you Sir!"

**

Although hats, fur clothes, and bamboo umbrellas can keep out the rain, there are more than 400 people in Lingyun Village, and at least 300 people go out every day.

Compared with the strong demand of players, the output of life players is really not enough.

On the 18th, the drizzle continued.

Some people were going out happily wearing hats, fur clothes, or holding bamboo umbrellas.

Someone can only sit on the ground, look at the dense rain, and sigh repeatedly, "When will this rain be full?"

Nobody knows.

The only thing they can do is to wait quietly.

**

When the road was slippery on rainy days, Yun Ling was too lazy to get out of the door, and simply ordered the armor to lead the team out. Anyway, the leveling of leveling, the collection of collection, just act as usual.

"Yes." The armor took orders and left.

"It's raining, it's best to eat roasted sweet potatoes." Yunling opened the cupboard and prepared to make something to eat.

The system suddenly sounded a prompt, "The player'You Qingwen' requests to enter the house, is it allowed?"

Why is she here?

Yunling simply clicked "Yes".

As soon as she entered the door, You Qingwen happily said, "There is a good opportunity to make money, and I specially invite you to make a fortune together."

Yun Ling was slightly surprised, "What do you mean?"

"Here." You Qingwen handed out two drawings.

For a moment, Yunling found that one was a drawing of a "battle hat" and the other was a drawing of a "feather clothes". He immediately became speechless.

You Qingwen continued, "In the village now, the best products sold are hats, fur clothes and bamboo umbrellas."

"Bamboo umbrellas are limited in terms of conditions, and can't be done, but the hat and the fungus can share a piece of the pie."

"Let your teammates unlock the'Elementary Bamboo Art' and'Elementary Grass Art', and then learn the drawings. After that... just sit and count the money!"

Yunling did not answer, but asked, "I gave me the drawing, what do you do?"

You Qingwen didn't care much, "There are three drawings for the ‘Bowl Li’ and two drawings for the ‘Yiyi’. Here are two. We have some extras."

Yunling only accepted, "It seems that you have already made a lot of money?"

"Where!" You Qingwen felt depressed when she mentioned this matter.

"Different equipment requires different materials. After drawing the drawings, the team members agreed that too many materials are needed for the clothes, and the knitting process must be troublesome, so no one wants to learn."

"It's the same with the hat. I sit there all day long and make up, even if you don't get sick, you will be sick."

"So it wasn't until the hats and quilts became popular in the territory that we later realized that we had brushed the relevant drawings..."

As for the hats and the clothes, I forgot about it long ago.

Somehow, Yun Ling remembered Master B. Just because she has a basic bamboo skill, the burden of making hats fell on her shoulders.

Weaving day and night these days, it can almost be renamed "braided armor".

Yunling, "..."

Fortunately, Master B is an npc, not a player. If it was replaced by someone else, it might have erupted long ago.

Beside, You Qingwen eagerly instructed, "When choosing people, remember to choose a better one."

"Some people are born with no talent for knitting. Let him sit and weave a hat, and he couldn't hold on to it after only half an hour, saying that he was going crazy."

"There are still people who work seriously, and when the final product comes out, they can't see people at all, and the system also judges that the knitting has failed."

Yunling looked at You Qingwen and said to her heart, what has this girl gone through?

With a lot of rumors, You Qingwen taught her the (failed) experience and finally exhorted, "If you have a suitable candidate, you must act fast if you want to make this money."

"As far as I know, other teams are also cultivating talents in this area."

"After some time, the supply of rain gear may skyrocket. By that time, it will be hard to make money!"

Yunling smiled kindly, "Okay, I get it."

In fact, the newly hired Sagittarius D and Assassin B have the life skills of "Elementary Grass Art" and "Elementary Bamboo Art" respectively. It is not bad for them to develop in the direction of "Weaving B" and "Weaving C".

Sell ​​a bamboo umbrella and get 30 copper coins.

Sell ​​a bamboo umbrella and get 30 copper coins.

Gradually, Liang Hui became numb to money and could only make bamboo umbrellas emotionally.

However, after seeing the situation, I calculated the income and notified Liang Hui, "Go, let's buy a house."

Copper coin -100, obtains official resident status.

Copper coin -500, get a wooden house*1.

It was because Liang Hui had already prepared his mind in advance, but he was still stunned by the surprise.

It's only been a few days? How did he change from having no food to having a house?

Liang Hui couldn't understand.

"From now on we will work in the house." Shi Jianshan gathered the materials and tools together, "Help me move things into the house."

"Good." Liang Hui cheered up and helped with work.

Shi Jianshan held the lint paper painted with waterproof tung oil and secretly said, this is just the beginning.

There is a shortage of materials, and this business is destined to be done only by him.

The days of making money are yet to come!

**

On the 19th, moderate rain.

Players with rain gear can travel as usual. Without rain gear, they are reluctant to equip the durable ones, so they can only sit in the village and watch.

On the 20th day, light rain.

The rain line seemed to be broken, and if there were none, some players were blocked in the village.

On the 21st, light rain turned to moderate rain.

My clothes, hats, and bamboo umbrellas burst into flames! The transaction price hit a new high!

Players who did not rush to buy rain gear ventured out, but the rain became stronger in the middle, and there was nowhere to hide.

When I returned to Lingyun Village in the evening, when I calculated the exploration gains and the wear and tear of the equipment, I immediately regretted that my intestines were all green.

Night fell.

Pang Yu sat on the bench, smoking a cigarette in silence.

The flames were shining and the smoke filled, which could not alleviate his sorrow in the slightest. It rained endlessly. He couldn't afford rain gear and was trapped in the village for three days. There was no food left at home.

He was cruel and wanted to use all the valuable things in the family to exchange food, but the other party responded straightforwardly, "No! You are not a good thing, it's not worth it!"

"Nowadays, food is the most valuable. You don't have to ask for it if you don't want to give it away for free."

"Don't blame us for not being affectionate. I don't know when the rain is going to come, everyone tightens their belts and lives."

Pang Yu was anxious and couldn't help smoking a cigarette to relieve his boredom.

The cigarette was brought out of the house while fleeing, and it is now the last one. It is not an exaggeration to describe his situation at the moment as "the mountains and rivers are exhausted".

I don't know how long Kuan has been sitting, Pang Yu rubbed his face severely, and staggered towards home.

"I'm back?" In the tent, the wife was lying on the bed and asked weakly, "How is it? Have you got the food?"

Pang Yu's lips moved, and he didn't know what to say. He took out a dark, half-slap-sized tortilla from his arms, and whispered, "Change to a tortilla, and you can eat it while it is hot. I will go out tomorrow whether it rains or not. "

Actually, tortillas are not swapped. It was because a friend I knew saw that his life was not as good as he wanted, so he saved food from his teeth and lent it to him.

The wife acted for a while, and tears filled her eyes in the next second, "I blame me for being bad. If I wasn't sick and couldn't work, your pressure wouldn't be so great..."

One person earns two rations, and of course there is not enough food.

"Don't talk nonsense." Pang Yu sighed, "The suffering is a little bitter, at least we are all well. There may not be anything going out tomorrow, I will come back when I find food."

"The food in the vicinity of the village was dug up, so how can there be food?" The wife choked and said, "Going far away, that is to die! Without rain gear, without team protection, how do you get out? How do you come back?"

"That's better than staying in the village and waiting to die." Pang Yu said helplessly.

Hearing this, his wife cried even more sadly.

Pang Yu consoled for a long time, and finally persuaded people.

**

Rainy days not only brought fire to the sale of rain gear, but even the restaurant’s business was much better than before.

In order to prevent players from hoarding goods, from the 18th, restaurants have stipulated -

【Name: Mixed Grain Mantou】

Quality: None

Effect of use: Fill the stomach.

Price: 2 copper coins.

Note: There is a limit of 1 per person per day.

【Name: White Porridge】

Quality: None

Effect of use: Fill the stomach.

Price: 1 copper coin.

Note: There is a limit of 1 bowl per person per day.

In this way, the warehouse inventory can last a long time.

However, even so, the situation of the bottom players is still not optimistic.

In the restaurant hall, two girls are standing by the shelves and ordering food.

A little older bought a steamed bun, then turned around and wanted to leave.

"Sister," my sister's eyes were full of doubt, "Why would you buy a steamed bun?"

"Hey, you can just eat, I'm not hungry." My sister smiled gently.

My sister thought for a while, "No, we are one and half."

"Only half of you can't eat enough." My sister reminded.

My younger sister is extremely stubborn, "Just one and half, or I won't eat."

"Good good, one half."

The voice gradually faded away, and Yunling knew that such residents were not alone.

"If you leave it alone, the rainy season will end, many people will die..." Thinking like this, she fell into deep thought.

**

The next morning, with a drizzle in the air, a strange mission was announced in the mission hall.

[Temporary hire of players with "junior gathering" skills, 10 copper coins/day, for lunch and dinner, hats for going out, and protection by combatants. All collected proceeds must be handed in, and no private possession is allowed. There are 10 places in total, and those interested can contact Yunling. 】

Pang Yu wanted to look at the mission hall to see if there were any good materials to dig for money, but unexpectedly saw an employment mission.

He was immediately overjoyed, accepting a team hire, which is much safer than going out alone!

On the other hand, you may not be able to find food when you go out. Go out with the team and hand in all the collected proceeds. The team not only takes care of the food, but also gives copper coins.

Pang Yu quickly contacted Yunling, fearing that it would be too late.

**

Before long, ten players gathered and waited nervously.

It is the first time to accept employment, and none of them knows whether the team will fulfill the contract.

It's a bit awkward. What if the other party tricks them into bait to lure the mobs in the name of gathering?

When they left the territory and stayed far away from the village, they told Tiantian not to, and the ground was not working well. Whether they could come back alive or not depends on luck.

Of course, knowing that they might be deceived, they still choose to sign up because they can't live happily...

"I won't talk too much nonsense." Yun Ling said solemnly.

"All actions are directed, and the collected items must not be hidden. After returning to the village, the hat is handed in, the expenses are settled, and the employment is over on the same day."

"If everyone works hard, it is not impossible to transfer temporary employment to long-term employment in the future."

It sounds pretty reliable.

Ten hired players are eager to try, and their vigilance a little.

Yun Ling winked and motioned for the armor to distribute hats to everyone.

In fact, she had long thought of hiring players to help her work, but she never had the opportunity to try. Nowadays, many residents are about to starve to death. She simply lives as a doctor, trying to organize a collection team.

The reason why she hired 10 people first was because the journey was difficult and dangerous. She didn't know how the players were obedient, so she hired a small amount.

If it goes well, it can be expanded in the future.

After thinking about it, ten players and twelve NPCs are ready.

Yunling waved his hand, "Go!"
