(MTL) Apocalypse Lord

Chapter 46 The Well

Early in the morning, You Qingwen and Zheng Mingyue called to their teammates and went out to dig trees.

With the tacit cooperation of everyone, more than a dozen cypress trees soon grew near the house.

You Qingwen returned to the wooden house and found that it was a lot cooler.

"Before it was sultry and hot, and people who were almost pressured could not breathe. Now the temperature drops, and occasionally there is wind, and I feel much better." She

sighed , "Breaking the game really makes people toss people to death." Zheng Mingyue dismissed the team members and let them. Go back to rest. When I walked in to hear my girlfriend's broken thoughts, I couldn't help but laugh, "The doomsday natural disaster game is just urinary, just get used to it."

You Qingwen said quietly, "I may never get used to it." The

spicy chicken game has no bottom line, and there are many traps. Far beyond her imagination.

Zheng Mingyue sat down to rest, and asked in passing, "How about the newly made bacon?" When the

matter was raised, You Qingwen looked solemn, "It's okay for now. Put on salt and marinate according to the previous method, but the meat has not deteriorated. "

Zheng Mingyue feels a little relieved, "It seems that it is indeed a salt problem. Non-game materials have a short shelf life."

You Qingwen showed a touch of worry, "The salt sold in the restaurant is easy to use, but the portion is too small! I have to grab someone, and I can only buy one pack a day. Even if I buy it every day, I can't save much."

Zheng Mingyue looked down and thought. After a while, he raised his eyes and asked, "I can't make bacon, what about bacon and bacon?"

"Bacon and bacon?" You Qingwen looked blank, obviously touching the blind spot of knowledge.

Zheng Mingyue explained, "so-called bacon is meat hanging in a cool room air-dry."

"The so-called bacon is smoked with firewood, grilled taste with the type of wood used about."

"To get rid of the water, the meat can be stored for long For a long time. I heard that if you make smoked meat for 7-10 days, you can eat the meat for five years."

You Qingwen, "..."

Five years? Is he joking or serious? You can't store it in the refrigerator or freezer for so long!

"The so-called shelf life of some foods is based on the premise that it does not affect the taste. In fact, you can eat it with your eyes closed when you are hungry." Zheng Mingyue said.

You Qingwen was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while.

Speaking of this, Zheng Mingyue sighed slightly, showing regret, "I also blame us for being too impatient, afraid that the weather will be too hot, the meat will spoil, and hurriedly took out the supermarket refined salt to marinate."

"I asked other members, yes With a big heart, I just put the chicken wings in the cupboard without marinating, smoking, or making bacon. After a few days, the ingredients are good and there is no deterioration at all."

"This is a game after all. As long as there is a system setting, even if there is a system setting. When encountering the high temperature in summer, the game ingredients will not rot and deteriorate."

You Qingwen took a long time to recall, "That is to say, the cured meat will be spoiled if the supermarket salt is used before. If you don't use salt, nothing will be done. , The meat will be fine."

Zheng Mingyue nodded, "Yes."

You Qingwen, "..."

She renounced herself, "Then what do we do with bacon, bacon, and bacon!"

"If I'm not mistaken, use After the correct method is processed, the shelf life of the finished product will be longer than that of the ingredients." Zheng Mingyue said seriously, "For long-term considerations, it is better to handle it or to deal with it."

You Qingwen lost her temper, "I don't understand this, I listen to you. . " "

Well. "Zheng Mingyue whispered should be a sound, warm words of comfort," hit the pit is not afraid of the future is to be careful, do not be too concerned about. "

Mrs Qing Wen think finally she saved the meat, it still felt heart hurts. This has to be changed to another game, she probably abandoned the game a long time ago.

** A

bowl of mung bean soup worth 50 copper coins is exchanged for a boss. This transaction is quite a bargain.

This time, even the assassin, it's hard to say that buying mung bean soup is a waste of money. After all, after killing the boss, the team got six pieces of equipment, 1 orange, 1 purple, 3 blue, and 1 white. There were a number of skill cards. It was a great harvest no matter what!

On this day, I heard that transplanting trees can adjust the temperature and make the living environment more comfortable. Rarely, Zhang Fan did not go out hunting, but led a team to plant trees next to the big guy's residence.

After transplanting the cedar, it was found that the surrounding temperature had indeed dropped. Everyone swarmed out of the territory and dug an osmanthus tree to help Granny Qian plant it.

"You work so hard every day, so you don't need to help us plant trees." Mother-in-law Qian declined.

"Such a trivial matter is nothing." Zhang Fan didn't care.

While talking, the tree has been planted.

Granny Qian had to give in, "I'm tired? I'm going to make herbal tea for you."

"No, I'll get out of the door later." Zhang Fan declined Granny Qian's retention and set off again with the team.

After a busy day going back and forth like this, a small forest was finally planted.

"Hurry up and rest." Mother Qian urged her to make tea for everyone.

Some people drank the tea like "gumming and gumming", and the eyes lit up at the end, "Delicious! To quench your thirst and go to the heat, what kind of tea is this?"

"It's buckwheat tea." Granny Qian replied, "It's sweet and cool in nature, clearing away heat and detoxifying. It's the right drink in summer." The

others were ignorant and seemed to have heard of it for the first time.

At this moment, coincidentally went home. See Zhang Fan, who, immediately overjoyed, "AWC brother? I'm looking for you!"

See How - how is, sails smiled and asked, "how? What happened to you?"

"Did not we say to help you Salt? Here, it's done." Qiaoqiao handed out a knotted square linen cloth.

When I opened it, there was a pile of white crystals, which were obviously salt.

Qiaoqiao said, "If there is no suitable container, wrap it in cloth first. Don't worry, the cloth is clean."

Zhang Fan was speechless after seeing him.

My companion explored the probe and asked curiously, "Where did the raw materials come from? Whether it's sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid, it's not easy to get it!"

Qiaoqiao Weidan "Generally, salt is made from sea water, otherwise lake salt, well salt, and mineral salt are also acceptable. "

The person who asked the question, "..." The

learned knowledge was returned to the teacher long ago.

Accidentally revealed the old bottom, embarrassing.

Zhang Fan hesitated a little, "Is this game material?" You

should know that non-game materials have a very short shelf life and are not easy to use at all.

"It should be counted." Ingenious analysis, "I use lake water to make salt. Isn't the lake water obtained from the game?"

"If you don't worry, you can take a part of it and try it out. After confirming that there is no problem, then continue to pickle."

Zhang Fan said in his heart . "Thank you."

"Brother Xiaofan, you are too polite!" Qiaoqiao smiled brightly and didn't take credit.

Zhang Fan reminded, "If it is easy to use, you can make salt and sell it for money in the future. Recently this thing is on fire! If you set up a stall, many people must be rushing to ask for it."

Qiaoqiao moved in her heart and thought.

**

Three days passed in a flash.

Hu Dacheng made the first well.

[Name: Well created by the player "Yunling"]

Quality: Normal

use effect: The temperature can be adjusted to obtain drinking water.

Note: The water well belongs to the personal property of the player "Yunling". Only with her consent, other players can take water.

Seeing the well, the first thought that came to Yun Ling's mind was to put the watermelon on the ice and bring it up later, it should be delicious.

"It's done, look at it." Hu Dacheng motioned to Yunling for acceptance.

Yun Ling looked at it pretentiously, nodded solemnly, "Good job, this is wages."

She was not afraid that the other party would collect the money, pat butt and leave. Other territories are not as friendly as Lingyun Town. As long as the person stays in the territory, if there is a problem with the well in the future, there is always a way to settle the account with him.

Three days! 500 copper coins! How come this money is so easy to earn!

Hu Dacheng carefully held the copper coin, his whole person was surprised and happy, and was so happy.

"If you are tired, take a day off and drill the second well tomorrow." Yunling promoted humanitarian care.

Hu Dacheng straightened his waist and said, "I'm not tired! I can do it! I will be able to dig all the five wells in a few days!"

If he was slow and was robbed of work, he would have to cry to death.

"Speed ​​is important, quality is also important, pay attention to quality and quantity." Yunling reminded.

"I understand." Hu Dacheng solemnly responded.

**In the

evening, the smoke is curled up.

A woman was carrying a wooden barrel and was about to fetch water from a stream outside the territory. Passing in the middle of the town, she was surprised, "When are there more draft wells here?" I

thought it was a system building, but when I looked carefully, the panel showed-

[Name: Well built by the player "Yunling"]

Quality: General

instructions ：Personal property of the player, used by others, each time a copper coin needs to be paid.

"There is a charge for fetching water? I'm really crazy about money!" The woman was annoyed.

There are also people who have been tired for a day and really don't want to walk too much, so they pay directly, put a bucket, and fetch water.

When the barrel came up, he bashed his face with the well water and poured a few sips into his stomach. The whole person suddenly became much cooler. "Hoo-really comfortable."

"Whoever loves to spend wrong money, anyway, I don't care about it." The water in her house." The woman hummed softly.

The man who fetched the water said, "Although I have to collect money, the water is really good. In summer, the well water is cool and tastes slightly sweet, not the same as the stream water." The

woman looked at the man suspiciously, as if she was looking at a caretaker.

The man laughed and laughed, and simply stopped talking.

At this time, a young man found the well and quickly approached. When he saw the name of the well, he frowned, "Weird, the territory is called'Lingyun Town', and the player who drills the well is called'Yunling'? Why is the name so similar?"

Seeing his appearance, it seems that he has unearthed some incredible secrets. .

"There are too many people in town called Yunling and Lingyun! There are only four or five people I know. What's so strange?" the woman said angrily. "The strangest thing is that the well is located in the center of the territory. What is the charge for the use of public property?"

"Just because this well was built by others." The man couldn't listen, and said to be fair, "You also live in the territory, or donate all your belongings first. As public property?" The

woman, "..."

"I have to fetch water and cook, so I don't have time to talk to you."

But in the blink of an eye, she was already walking away with the wooden barrel.

"Worry about it." The man murmured, and poured the water in the wooden bucket into his own basin. Then he took the basin and went home happily.

Ask him to say that the water in this well is not much different from the ice. As long as 1 copper coin, you can fill a bucket of water, which is really cost-effective!

The man thought to himself, wait for two hours, and take a cold shower quickly. After getting into the bed to sleep, you won't be awakened by the heat at night!

The more he thought about it, the happier he was, and even his footsteps became brisk.

In a blink of an eye, the residents walked away, leaving only young people standing beside the well.

At this moment, he no longer dared to mention "Yunling and Lingyun have similar names, will there be any connection between them". I'm afraid that it would be too strange to be rejected by others...

**

After listening to Zhang Fan, Qiao Qiao originally planned to sell salt, but there are two problems.

As a result of insufficient equipment, salt can only be produced in small quantities.

Secondly, she lacks a container, so she can't sell salt and give customers sackcloth at the same time.

Finally, Qiaoqiao sighed, dismissing the thought, "Make the salt, save it for yourself."

"That's right." Mother Qian didn't say a word. Seeing my granddaughter figured it out, I immediately smiled with relief, "You listen to my grandmother's advice. In famine years, coins are useless! I hold a lot of grain in my hand, and I feel at ease in my heart."

"I listen to my grandmother." Qiao. Very cleverly clever, "When we have salt, let's cook bacon. There are so many stocks, and it's best to eat it for a year!"

Mother Qian was amused, "Grandma will make rice wine for you, and go to bed early after eating. , Have a good dream at night."

Qiaoqiao, "..."

She suspected her grandmother was laughing at her.

But there is no evidence.

**After

waiting for three days, no one contacted her except Hu Dacheng.

Professional talents are indeed scarce, and it is fortunate to have one.

As soon as the thought came up, Yunling received a reminder that [Lingyun Town's greening rate has reached 20%, and the temperature in the territory has dropped significantly. 】

【The player "Tian Zhehan" tried to dig fish ponds at xxx and xxx coordinates in Lingyun Town. Do you agree? 】

Yunling paused slightly. It turned out that it was not that there were no talents, but that people were unwilling to work and wanted to do it alone.

As long as there are "fish pond" buildings in the territory, it doesn't matter if she didn't build them. Speaking of it, after the fish pond is built, it will be a headache to send someone to take care of it.

Thinking of this, Yunling decisively clicked "Yes".

The prompt changes again, [After the fish pond is built, it will become the personal property of the player "Tian Zhehan". Will there be a fee? 】

【1. How many copper coins do players need to pay to purchase the ownership of the land in Lingyun Town? 】

【2. How much tax does the player need to pay for building a fish pond in the future? Tax payment can be paid in kind, in currency, or both? 】

【3. In order to promote the development of the territory and mobilize the enthusiasm of the residents, you can also choose not to charge. ]

Yunling exclaimed, "It's amazing."

Then she didn't hesitate to set it up to collect 1,000 copper coins, a tax rate of 10%, and payment in kind.

This means that if Tian Zhehan wants to sell the place, he must first pay 1,000 copper coins.

Secondly, if you raise fish in the future, regardless of the harvest year, 10% of the income will be handed in. And live fish must be given, and copper coins are not tax deductible.

After waiting for a while, the system prompts, [The player "Tian Zhehan" agrees to pay. 】

【You got 1,000 copper coins. 】

【The transaction is concluded. 】

"There are fish to eat." Yunling's heart bubbled with beauty.

She opens the panel, remotely manipulates, and cancels the employment mission in the mission hall.

When she saw "employing players who can dig fountains", she couldn't help feeling, "If someone secretly builds a fountain, how good would it be?" She said that, she

knew that this was just a fantasy after all and it could not come true.

You can charge a fee for water from wells, and fish can be produced in fish ponds. What about fountains? That is a public welfare building, a pure landscape! Except for adjusting the temperature in the territory, it has no effect.

So fish ponds were rushed to build, wells were hit, and fountains were unattended.

Fortunately, there are green plants and wells in the territory, and it does not matter whether there is a fountain or not.

View npc information.

At present, there are 25 combat NPCs, and only one more can be refreshed, 20 people can protect the collection team, and 6 people will go to the nearby territory to explore with her.

In fact, Yunling had long wanted to go to other territories. But the last time I visited Sunset Village, I was really impressed. She is not at ease without NPCs.

It's sad to say that the territory refreshes 3 NPCs every day, either with low level, poor skills, or wrong professional (life skills).

If you don't choose, you can hire one by one. However, considering the food issue, she only plans to hire elites, so there is not much room for selection.

Fortunately, after waiting for a few days, an expedition team was finally formed.

**

Studio.

Yunling gave Zhang Heng today's high-temperature subsidy and asked, "Is there a way to increase the production of salt?"

Zhang Heng regretted, "Without equipment, it's very difficult."

Yunling suddenly thought. "If you can't find a professional instrument, can you make it yourself?"

Zhang Heng said, "You're kidding."

Since this is the employer, he euphemistically said, "Maybe someone will do it, but I won't."

Yunling had no choice but to dismiss the thought, "That's it."

Seeing the employer doing nothing, wandering in the studio, Zhang Heng said coldly, "Salt-packed. The paper ran out."

Yun Ling couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

Generally speaking, salt is packed in plastic bags. Now in the last days, without that condition, we can only retreat to second place.

Yunling thought about whether bamboo tubes or wooden pots could be used, but firstly, it took a lot of effort, and secondly, the container was too large and the output was not that much. In the end, it seems that it is the most convenient and most efficient to use square paper to hold it and tie it into a small bag.

She also thought about what to do when she ran out of paper. It's just that the sales of salt were mediocre at the time, and she thought it could be used temporarily.

Unexpectedly, the salt was sold suddenly and all of the packaging materials were used up.

"I'll find a way." Yun Ling's expression was solemn.

Continue to use paper packaging, how to produce new paper? Maybe there are related drawings falling in the game? But I haven't heard of it!

Change to another container and use a small round wooden jar with mouth grease in the future? Don't say that you can't hold much salt, you need a lot of wood, and the cost will increase accordingly.

Should we just make salt in the future and let customers bring their own containers?

In a moment, several emergency plans came to mind.

Unexpectedly-

"Oh no, the matter has been resolved, I just tell you." Zhang Heng said lightly.

Yunling, "???" Is it

resolved? How to solve it?

She was quite surprised.

Zhang Heng explained, "My grandfather like calligraphy, out to buy rice paper quality in general, he would have to do it yourself."

"Tinker tinker with for a long time finally understand, apart from anything else, I caught him along the way. Over time, I will do it too."

"I found out that the paper was gone . I immediately made a new batch and I have used it now."

Yunling, "..."

What else can she say?

Of course, "In the future, the daily salary will rise to 80 copper coins. Eat a good meal for three meals, and chicken legs are allowed."

"Thank you boss." Zhang Heng said cheerfully.

**

Day 49.

In the early morning, Yun Ling received a system prompt as soon as he opened his eyes, [Luo Ri Village was breached. ]

The moment I saw the prompt, my sleep was gone.

"Has the village been breached?" Yun Ling whispered, with a bit of disbelief in his voice.

However, looking at the small map, Sunset Village has indeed disappeared.

In fact, during this period, almost every morning can receive information, [xx camp was breached. ] It's

just that Yunling defaults to the system territory devil configuration, and the player cannot live. Unexpectedly, the sunset village fell today.

Open the panel and check the ranking list. I saw the above display-

【Ranking of Prosperity of All Territories in s City】

1. Lingyun Town, 6588

2. Linden Town, 4644

3. Huaishu Town, 4504

Territory which specific buildings and atmosphere have been unlocked The environment does not seem to have much impact. But in fact, all these minutiae will have a long-term impact on the development of the territory.

With so many living places in the city, why do powerful players move? It's not uncomfortable to live!

Changed countless times, until you find the one that suits your heart best, you can settle down and settle down for a long time.

When Yunling turned to the end, his heart was tense-there were no more than 200 territories in S City, but now only 136 are left.

In other words, one-third of the territory has been breached.

Yun Ling sighed heavily, "It's really hard to live."

Only a moment of melancholy.

Before long, Yun Ling pack a good mood, "Sunset Village is compromised, all players collapsing, resource points around should no action is taken? Lingyun town life just many players, not enough resources, then you can expand the scope of activities."

"Brush strange time Not much, it is difficult to upgrade, and there are not many people who have the ability to go outside."

"It is possible to let the npc lead the collection team, there is a treasure house!"

Thoughts flowed, and immediately had a new way to fill the warehouse.

**

Just after 7:40, the system prompt appeared, ["Carpenter A" has enough proficiency, and the life skill "Elementary Woodcraft" has been upgraded to "Intermediate Woodcraft". ]

"Upgraded?" Yunling glanced, and clicked to close after reading.

It's hard to get the manpower together. Today is the day to lead the team out.

So early in the morning, Yunling had breakfast and began to prepare for the trip.

In ordinary territories, life players are scarce, and shading equipment such as hats and bamboo umbrellas are not common.

Last time I went out with ten hats. What I was fighting was the idea of ​​bartering for rare materials. Unexpectedly, the players in Sunset Village have no idea of ​​fair trade.

It depends on who is good, not about how to show sincerity and facilitating the transaction, but how to rob enough to be concealed enough to explode equipment...

This time I go to Wanxia Village, and I don't know what kind of people I will meet. In short, take the hat first, and I'll talk about whether you can do business at that time.

8 o'clock.

The guards led the team to collect, and Yunling took 6 NPCs to Luoxia Village.

Wandering forward, encountering monsters to kill easily, the team marches fast.

There is no cloud in the sky, and there is no wind on the road. Occasionally passing by the dense woods, the tree canopy can act as a shelter and cast a cool shadow.

But as the expedition progressed, the trees became scarcer. The huge sun hung high in the sky, almost scorching the green plants.

At this moment, Yunling could only be fortunate that he was the tank positioning, and the whole team had a little bit of strength, and it was not greatly affected by the environment.

If this were a mage, he would have been tired and lay down.

Wearing a hat is useless, and sun-shading equipment can delay the process of tiredness, but can't completely suppress it.

Seeing the NPCs gradually developing negative states, they didn't say a word and insisted on moving forward. Yun Ling sighed, "It just so happens that there is a river and a small forest here. Let's sit down and rest."

This is where the NPCs are looking for a cool place. Sit down, drink water and rest.

Yun Ling walked to the river to fill the water, but turned around and was startled, "Why is someone lying there?!" The

npc suddenly got up, surrounded and protected Yun Ling, his face was full of guard.

Yun Ling didn't care, "You stay here, I'll take a look." When he took a

closer look, he found that he was a middle-aged man. In his forties, his face was pale, and his forehead was sweating.

"This is heatstroke, right?" Yunling whispered directly.

She beckoned, motioned the npc to come and help, and then moved the person to the shade of the tree, fed water again, and used cold water to cool her face.

Xu is the first aid measures worked. The middle-aged man slowly woke up and asked weakly, "Where is this?"

"By the river, I saw you fainted, so I moved you over." Yun Ling explained briefly.

See the system prompt, [Because of excessive exercise in the scorching sun, you have heat stroke, strength-3, agility-3, stamina-3, intelligence-3, spirit-3. ]

[The basic recovery speed is changed to: 1 point of health/5 minutes, 1 point of mana/5 minutes. 】

【Restoration for 2 hours (avoid direct sunlight for 2 consecutive hours, not working) can restore health. 】

The middle-aged man felt scared for a while.

His condition is not too good!

If the ones passing by are not kind players, but game mobs...

he is chilled in his heart and dare not think about it.

"Thank you for saving me." Middle-aged man watched helplessly Yun Ling, unconsciously when speaking with a wire pray, "can not sit down with me for a while? The current situation, it can not act alone ......"

if you can , He didn't want to trouble others. He just didn't give up this face, he was afraid that his life would be lost.

So thinking about it, middle-aged people can only bite the bullet and ask for help.
