Apocalypse Lord

As time goes by, more and more life players learn to make hats/furnitures, and the price of rain gear gradually declines.

The life players who were the first to sell rain gear made a lot of money and bought houses and moved one after another. Even if the business is no longer as hot as before, there are enough funds to buy drawings and learn to make other items.

On the other hand, the output of rain gear has increased significantly, and going out on rainy days is no longer a problem. Residents either use umbrellas, put on fur coats, or wear hats to resume their usual routines.

At the same time, the collection team formed by Yunling has 20 people, all of them are hardworking, obedient and well-behaved.

Thanks to these people, the stock of game materials in the warehouse is increasing day by day.

The 31st day.

The text in the upper right corner finally changed, "The 31st, Spring, Peace Day, 7:30:00."

Safe day.

Yun Ling pondered the new term, guessing that the drizzle life was about to end.

Not long after, twenty members of the collection team arrived.

Yun Ling said solemnly, "The game settings have been changed. If someone wants to leave the team and act alone, I will never stop them."

The air became quiet for a while.

After waiting for a long time, none of the members said to leave. Everyone stayed quietly in place, waiting for Yunling to lead the team to set off.

Yun Ling was slightly surprised. She thought that someone must be ambitious and leave the team.

But in fact, what players think is that it’s easy to walk now, but it’s hard to come back later.

It is true that you can move freely on Christmas Day, but if it becomes a "summer, disaster day" in a few days, what should we do?

After all, alone, the ability to withstand disasters is extremely poor.

It's different with the team. When the mobs are protected by guards, the amount of materials collected is not considerable, and the group leader still pays the same amount and provides food.

Under the big tree, it’s good to enjoy the shade, and it’s hard to find a stable job. How can players easily abandon it?

Taking a step back, if the team changes and there is no money to continue hiring, it will not be too late to act alone by then.

"Since no one wants to leave," Yunling smiled, "Let's go."

**

What is Christmas Day?

You can't understand it literally.

But not long after leaving the territory, Yun Ling noticed the difference.

Previously, the edible plants near Lingyun Village were dug out, and there was no food left. Now potatoes, sweet potatoes, and wild vegetables are scattered around, which is equivalent to refreshing a part of the resource points.

When I met mobs in the past, they often chased after them and they couldn't get rid of them. Today, the monsters were too lazy to chase after a short distance.

On a disaster day, the rain will drop when you say it, and it will stop when you say it. There is no pattern. On Christmas Day, the weather was fine and there was no sign of rain at all.

...

No matter how you look at it, the difficulty of survival on Peace Day is much lower than that on disaster days.

Yunling leads people to pick honey, pick berries, and dig potatoes, busy around.

But once I counted the material reserves, I was happy, and I felt that it didn't hurt to be a little busy.

**

evening.

After finishing the day's work and paying the salary, Yunling waved his hand, "It's all gone."

The players disperse, only one person quickly catches up, "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Yunling asked.

It was a twenty-seven-year-old young man with a gentle appearance. He was quite hesitating at the moment, as if it was difficult to speak.

Yunling is not in a hurry, but waits patiently.

After a long time, the young man made up his mind, but said, "Can you lend me some money?"

"What do you want to do?" Yun Ling was curious.

The young man explained, "I am majoring in chemistry, and I am proficient in this knowledge and not good at manual labor. If possible, I would like to buy some experimental equipment and become my own business."

"For example?" Yun Ling asked.

"Sugar, salt, and ice cubes." The young man whispered.

Ice making? Yun Ling's heart moved.

In fact, she suspects that the game will cause problems for players in the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter. It's a pity that this is just speculation and there is no evidence.

"What materials do you need? How much do you want to borrow?" Yunling asked in more detail.

The young man thought for a while, and he was not sure, "200 copper coins should be enough?"

Yunling didn't say a word.

The young man immediately changed his words, "100 copper coins are fine. You can't make a fat man with one bite, and everything must be done gradually and slowly!"

Yun Ling raised his eyes, his eyes sharp, "I will prepare a wooden house for you as a studio, and I will give you 500 copper coins for you to buy materials and tools."

"The only condition is that the finished product will score two to eight points. I will give you two points."

"If you don't want the finished product, I can pay you 40-100 copper coins every day, depending on the quality and quantity of the items."

The sudden surprise directly smashed the young man. He was happy about how to place his hands and feet, "My name is Zhang Heng...Of course you are willing to invest! I originally wanted to quietly do research, sell products, and find offline. It's too much trouble..."

"Then it's settled." Yunling said decisively, "I will meet at 7 tomorrow morning, and I will take you to the studio."

"Good!" After consensus, Zhang Heng left happily.

Yunling opened the territory property panel and chose a wooden house for Zhang Heng's studio.

【Name: Wooden House】

Use effect: After the purchase, the player can have 20 square meters of private space, and other people are not allowed to trespass without permission.

Price: 500 copper coins.

Note: For special props, each official resident is limited to purchase one.

This regulation is only for ordinary players.

For Yunling, the entire territory belongs to her, not to mention how many wooden houses? As long as she is not sold to players, she is the owner of the cabin.

"Leave a few days between the seasons as Christmas Day, it seems to imply that players should make the best use of the rest time and prepare in advance to meet the next round of challenges." Yunling sighed, faintly ill-informed. Premonition.

**

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Heng cleaned himself up early, anxiously waiting for Yunling to summon him.

Before 7 o'clock, he received the message, "Come to the residential area."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Heng lifted his spirits and hurried to the residential area.

The so-called residential area is actually a wooden house area. A large block of wooden houses are arranged neatly and orderly, just like old residential houses, so players are used to calling this "residential area".

As for the area where the tents are staggered... Players generally jokingly call it "slums". Because the tent covers a small area, players can come and go at will, there is no need to talk about it.

Three minutes later, Zhang Heng appeared in the outer circle of the residential area.

Seeing people, Yunling said, "Come with me."

Then go ahead and lead the way.

Zhang Heng was half delighted, half excited, his heart pounding, and he couldn't calm down.

Yunling stopped in front of a wooden hut, "This is the residence of the team members. It is usually unoccupied and used for stacking food. I heard that you can make ice, so I will ask someone to clean up the room and give it to you. ."

Yun Ling's expression was faint, and the lie opened his mouth.

But to Zhang Heng, there is no flaw in this statement. He rubbed his hands in excitement, "How ashamed of this..."

"If you can really make ice cubes, it doesn't matter if this house is given to you in the future." Yun Ling said indifferently.

After the player buys the wooden house, it can be given to others for free, or it can be listed for sale.

It's just that most people want to have their own house and are too lazy to toss, so they will not transfer or give it away.

Hearing this, Zhang Heng blushed and breathed for a few minutes, "Give me the house? Really?"

"The premise is that you perform well and make people satisfied." With that, Yunling pushed in.

Zhang Heng followed up and found that there were wooden tables, wooden chairs, and cabinets in the room. The furniture is neatly arranged and the environment is clean and tidy, like a small studio.

Such a house is very common before the end of the game, but it is not common after the start of the end of the game.

"This, this..." Zhang Heng was stunned, suffocating for a long time, "It cost a lot of money, right?"

"It's just a small amount of money, it's nothing." Yunling took out 500 copper coins, "These are used to purchase equipment. How to use it, you can figure it out."

Zhang Heng stared at Yunling blankly, and subconsciously pinched his arm.

"Wow--"

He cried out in pain, and when Yunling looked over, he smirked, "So it's not a dream..."

You know, so far, he hasn't been so happy in the game. The total number of copper coins obtained may be less than 500.

This is a huge sum of money!

Can make people lose their minds!

"Work hard, the future is boundless." After a pause, Yunling's voice is cold, "But if you want to cheat money, you won't make sugar or ice. I promise you will regret it."

Zhang Heng's heart tightened, and he said seriously, "I didn't lie, I really ate this bowl of rice. Asking you to borrow money is also planning to develop your expertise and avoid areas that you are not good at."

Although there is nothing he can't do to survive, but he really doesn't adapt to hard work and tiring work. When I have the opportunity, I naturally want to change careers and jobs.

Yunling: "Then I will wait and see."

**

Two days later.

Zhang Heng called Yunling to the studio.

He first took out the white and delicate refined salt, and proudly said, "This is extracted from the lake water. It tastes good and is edible."

Then he picked up a plastic bag containing white sugar, "This is extracted from sugarcane and sugar beet. First squeeze the juice, then boil and concentrate, and then separate and form crystals. The brown sugar is first obtained, which has been further refined. , You can get white granulated sugar for daily consumption."

When it comes to professional fields, Zhang Heng is extremely excited, opening and closing his mouth and talking non-stop.

Yunling, "..."

As human beings, why can’t I understand what you’re talking about?

"Anyway," Yunling interrupted Zhang Heng's professional explanation, "just make things happen."

Glancing at the tabletop, she asked, "Where is the ice cube?"

Zhang Heng held out iced sugarcane juice like a treasure, "Yes."

Yunling took a bite and found that the taste was sweet and cold. The drink entered, the heat faded, and the whole body was indescribable.

Zhang Heng explained, “Ice cubes can be made, but it’s not easy to store, so I didn’t make too much. Make them when needed to prevent the ice cubes from melting.”

"Yes." Yunling nodded in agreement, "Usually we mainly make sugar and salt. Players all need these basic life seasonings."

"In the production process, I actually encountered a little trouble." Zhang Heng hesitated to say something.

"Say."

Zhang Heng was quite distressed, "It's okay that the salt is poured, and the lake can't be used up temporarily, so there is no need to worry about raw materials."

"Sugar cane and sugar beets are resources that need to be collected from the wild, and there are not many in circulation on the market."

"Ice making is even more troublesome. I use the saltpeter ice method, and the production process requires a lot of saltpeter."

Yun Ling frowned, "Didn't you make ice cubes? Where did the saltpeter come from?"

"The player bought it." Zhang Heng replied honestly. "He said that he unlocked the'primary mining' and dug some saltpeter from the mine."

Speaking of the mine, Yunling thought of the blacksmith's shop that had not been unlocked for a long time. She pondered for a moment before saying, "Since the materials are not enough, we usually make salt."

"I will give you some beets and sugar cane regularly. After receiving the materials, I will start to make white sugar."

"As for the saltpeter--" her eyes darkened, "I will find someone to explore, and I will send it to you when I dug up the saltpeter."

"That's fine." Zhang Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when the raw material problem was solved.

Yunling applauded, "Good job, I will be paid 50 copper coins a day for lunch and dinner."

"Ah!" Zhang Heng was surprised and delighted.

What is the concept of a daily salary of 50 copper coins?

In just two days, he can become an official resident of Lingyun Village.

As long as ten days, he has the money to buy a house.

With money, buy low-level self-made equipment at will. Make up enough six pieces to be armed to the teeth!

Zhang Heng became more excited as he thought about it, his fingers quivered, and he couldn't restrain his excitement.

"As long as you work hard, I will never treat talents badly." Yunling solemnly said.

**

The weather is clear and cloudless. Those who should go out to gather and those who should go out to hunt, have a better life for the players, and the free money on their hands has gradually increased.

【Inhabitable population: 1000】

[Existing residents: 814 (278 regular residents, 536 temporary residents)]

The territory’s population has skyrocketed, and the overnight fee is softened every day.

Yunling checked the information about the life and occupation npc in the territory and found that the talents are as follows-

restaurant.

Tailor shop.

【Name: Tailor A】

Level: 2

Attributes: Strength 8, Dexterity 9, Physical Strength 6, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5.

Combat skills: None

Items that can be made: bandages, quiveres, cloth shoes, cloth armor, belts.

Items that can be crafted: bandages, quiveres, belts, wrist guards, assassin's face towels, linen backpacks, cotton backpacks, straw sandals, straw hats, cushions, and princesses.

Level 1 can accommodate 2 NPC employees, Level 2 can accommodate 5, and Level 3 can accommodate 10 employees.

Obviously, whether it is a restaurant, a carpenter's workshop or a tailor's shop, they have reached the upper limit.

Upgrade the building to level 2, and the new npc hired can enter the shop to work.

Check the list of visitors.

A 4th-level priest, a 3rd-level archer, and an intermediate chef.

Yunling clicked Hire and named him "Chef C."

【Name: Chef C】

Level: 3

Attributes: Strength 8, Dexterity 8, Physical Strength 9, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5.

Combat skills: None

Life skills: intermediate cooking

Items that can be made: multigrain steamed buns, mushroom stewed eggs, vegetable salad, sandwiches, clear soup noodles, spring rolls, zongzi.

Then upgrade the "restaurant".

【The restaurant was upgraded to level 2. 】

[The area of ​​the hall is enlarged, and more customers can be received at the same time. 】

【There are more types of tableware, which is convenient for chefs to cook. 】

Different from the past, a new reminder followed, [The upgrade conditions have been initially met. Do you want to check the detailed rules? 】

Yunling clicks "Yes".

New information popped out.

[The village must be upgraded to a small town, and the following conditions must be met. 】

[1. Unlock 6 different buildings. (completed)】

[2, 4 buildings are upgraded to level 2. (completed)】

[3. The number of residents exceeds 700 for 7 consecutive days. (3/7, not completed)]

[4. For 7 consecutive days, the daily income of the territory exceeds 7000 copper coins. (2/7, not completed)

(Note: Daily income = store income + tax + other)]

[Meet the above conditions, pay 50,000 copper coins, the territory can be upgraded. 】

Yunling thought, 7 buildings have been unlocked in the territory, so condition 1 was completed.

Warehouse (level 2), mission hall (level 2), protective cover (level 2), restaurant (level 2), so condition 2 is completed.

At the current rate of population influx in the territory, condition 3 will be automatically completed in another four days.

Condition 4 is a bit difficult.

It is not easy to stabilize a daily income of more than 7000. Because it is 7 consecutive days, as long as one day is not up to the standard, you have to start the calculation from the beginning.

In addition, the second level of the restaurant spent most of the savings, and it was a hassle to collect 50,000 copper coins.

"You have to think of a way," Yun Ling said in his heart.

She is a typical life player, and she has no big ambitions.

If it weren't for the fear of losing the level, sometimes I didn't even bother to level up.

The reason why I want to upgrade as soon as possible is not because I suddenly changed my temper and intends to start the hegemony mode, but because I am greedy for building positions...

According to past experience, the first one to upgrade to a small town should have additional rewards.

For example, buildings can be unlocked by +1.

For example, the gain status of the leader is +1.

These extra rewards are hard to buy, urging her to make progress.

"Check the list of rankings, Lingyun Village still dominates all the rankings first. In the next four days, the daily income of the territory must exceed 7000 copper coins, and it will be the first to be promoted to a small town!"

how should I do it?

Yun Ling Tuo Chi fell into contemplation.

**

storehouse.

Yunling carefully counted the materials, only to discover that there were various materials in the warehouse, everything. She even found a few pieces of saltpeter in it, and she didn't remember where she got it.

Yunling, "..."

The hoarding madman is like this.

I keep buying, buying and buying, and sometimes I don’t know which products I stock after buying.

Anyway, she firmly believes that they are all strategic materials and will come in handy sooner or later.

Distracting thoughts aside, Yun Ling rummaged through the pile of materials. After a while, her eyes lit up, "Found it!"

**

afternoon.

3 blue 2 white, and all the arrows in the five quiver shots out. Wei Zhe ended the hunt and returned to Lingyun Village ahead of time.

Along the way, I kept hearing the residents whispering, "The days are too sad, when is the head?"

"As soon as the rainy season is over, the family's food storage is seven or eighty-eight, and they have to start hoarding goods again."

"Finally, I saved some money, and after buying the official resident status, there is nothing left! Yes, save it from scratch."

"Hey, you said, if we move to live in other territories, will life be better?"

The others were silent, as if being questioned.

Wei Zhe shook his head as he listened, "I don't know the blessing in the blessing!"

He is not an aboriginal resident of Lingyun Village.

When the game started, the first thing I encountered was the "Kapok Camp". Later, I saw that I was living well, so I settled there.

Wei Zhe thought that he would live like this by getting up early for hunting, returning to work and preparing food late. Unexpectedly, one day, the monster suddenly attacked the camp like crazy

It was night, and the residents had fallen asleep. As a result, half asleep and half awake, he heard the screaming of the woman, the crying of the child, and the scolding of the old man.

Wei Zhe walked out of the tent with sleepy eyes and wanted to ask these people what they were arguing if they didn't sleep at night.

Unexpectedly, when I went out to take a look, the player fell to the ground, and many had no breath.

Not far away, monsters raged. Some are fighting with players, and some are walking towards the tent, looking for new prey.

Wei Zhe seemed to be splashed with cold water, and his mind immediately became sober.

He quickly returned to the house, planning to pack his luggage and escape.

Because of the urgent situation and limited time, most of the belongings are too late to take away, so they can only simply clean up some details. Then, Wei Zhe grabbed the backpack and rushed away from the camp.

Discovered by the monster while escaping, the three mobs chased him desperately.

Wei Zhe used the terrain to kill one and throw away two, and finally escaped.

However, he did not escape from the sea of ​​bitterness, but began a life of displacement.

Some territories are controlled by large teams and squeeze solo players. Some are exclusive and do not welcome outsiders. Some territories have few buildings and simple defenses. In two days, the territory was breached...

With twists and turns along the way, Wei Zhe gradually became numb. Just when he was discouraged and felt that it is better to be alive than to die, he came to Lingyun Village.

Becoming an official resident can enjoy two benefits, which greatly improves the survivability of residents in the wild.

There are not only guards in the territory, but also defensive structures such as protective shields.

Sleep securely and at ease at night, without straining your energy, and always worry about monsters making sneak attacks.

There are many functional buildings and a wide variety of goods, which can almost meet all the needs of players.

There is no team squeeze, solo players and living players can be seen everywhere, free to play.

Hats, fur clothes, bamboo umbrellas, and rain gear are all available at reasonable prices. It is not monopolized by the team, and no one makes the price up to the sky.

Even in the most difficult moments, I have never heard of a scandal involving players hunting players and exploding equipment sales in exchange for money to survive.

Wei Zhe really felt that there would be no territory in S City that was more friendly than Lingyun Village. It is suitable for living here, and there is hope in struggle.

Entering the tailor shop with copper coins, Wei Zhe plans to buy another "hunting quiver." Unexpectedly, I took a closer look and found new products on the shelves.

【Name: Red Flame Quiver】

Quality: Rare

Wearing effect: One arrow is automatically refilled every minute, up to 35 can be installed.

Special effect: After the arrow is generated, there is a 20% chance of attaching the special effect of "burning". Once successfully attached, the arrow's attack power is +12, causing additional fire spell damage.

Price: 1200 copper coins.

【Name: Fire Feather Cloak】

Quality: Rare

Wearing effect: physical strength +10

Special effect: Inflict 3 fire spell damage to surrounding enemies every second.

Price: 3000 copper coins.

Seeing the equipment attributes, Wei Zhe immediately took a breath - what kind of fairyland is this? Why can I even sell purple outfits!

He once heard people mention that high-end equipment is quite scarce at the beginning of the game. Except for the purple cards and orange cards picked up by good luck on the first day of the rain, the hunting boss is the only source of purple and orange equipment.

Although the authenticity has not yet been verified, there are more than one or two that are said.

In addition to the territories that have been visited, the system store never sells purple or orange clothing. After a long time, Wei Zhe naturally believed it.

result! The system shop in Lingyun Village sells purple outfits! And it's not one piece, it's two pieces!

Wei Zhe was shocked and stunned.

For a long time, he touched his pocket and sighed with regret, "It is a pity that there is not enough money to afford it."
