Apocalypse Lord - 53. Bitter Winter 2

In the evening, when I returned to the territory, the system sounded a reminder, [The greening rate of Lingyun Town has reached 30%, and the temperature in the territory has risen significantly. 】

[The greening rate of the territory has reached the upper limit, and it is not possible to continue to transplant trees. 】

There was an upper limit on the number of plants originally planted.

Yunling thought secretly, it seems that planting trees can only moderately adjust the temperature, and cannot solve the problem fundamentally.

After thinking about it, I saw a corner of the territory, a few residents built a fire, surrounded by fire.

An old man said in a deep voice, “Let me say, it is too much wood to cook at home! Only one or two people benefit, why bother? Why not come out and cook the firewood together. In this way, everyone is relaxed.”

As soon as this statement came out, there were many seconders.

A tall man complained, “Before winter, I specifically asked my kid to pick up branches, stalks, and straws, and store them as firewood at home. At that time, there were too many to pick up, and the back of the house was full.”

“I wonder if I can’t afford so much at home, and let him sell some. Who knows that when winter comes, you will either have to cook or wear winter clothes, or you will definitely get sick.”

“I knew that winter was so difficult, so firewood would not be sold at the time!”

Nowadays, I just worry about too little firewood and not enough firewood. Where can there be too much?

The tall man was very upset at the mention of this, and his brow was full of regret.

“It is said that there are a lot of players and tailors in Lingyun Town. I haven’t seen the winter clothes that can be made.” Another chubby uncle lamented again and again.

“I went to a tailor who knew me well, and they all said that there were too many orders and there was too much time to make them.”

“Now it’s no more than before, it’s all handmade, and the speed is very slow. With the addition of clothes, pants, shoes, hats, scarves, gloves, the rich have a complete set, a complete set of underground orders, and the tailor has no time to make it!”

“I wondered, Lingyun Town has too many people. When it’s our turn, maybe winter will soon pass.”

A thin young man said hesitantly, “Actually, I haven’t figured it out.”

“Anyway, cats spend the winter in the territory, and they get sick when they get sick, and it doesn’t matter.”

“Players with no skills like us, nesting in Lingyun Town, are they idle chatting, or gathering crowds to play cards, or lying down at home and sleeping sick, isn’t it all the same?”

The fat uncle said quietly, “If you have a severe cold and fever, you may die. Do you dare to try?”

Before the youth could answer, he added, “I don’t dare anyway.”

Thin young man, “…”

“Forget it, for poor people like us, let’s warm up.” After being reminded, he immediately gave up the idea of death without saying anything.

Yunling passed by, listened, and silently added firewood to the ranks of “important strategic materials”.

**

The next day, Yunling led the team out as usual.

She was fishing alone by the river, but asked NPC and Pang Yu to collect firewood.

“Recently, there are fires everywhere for heating, and the price of firewood is higher than that of food. The boss is really smart to follow the trend and change the collection target. No wonder the team is getting bigger and bigger!” Pang Yu was full of emotions and his eyes were extremely admired.

Sitting by the river, Yunling rarely took out materials for needlework.

She stared at the bushes in a daze, vaguely aware of something strange. But what was wrong, she couldn’t tell.

When she was absent-minded, two iron cows appeared in her sight.

I saw two iron cows lowered their heads, as if they were looking for food. When it was found that there were clover in the grass, and some wild vegetables growing next to it, the iron cow ate it fiercely, and then drove away.

Looking at the cluttered grass, Yunling’s inspiration flashed, and finally understood what was wrong-now it is the 106th day, the field resource points are no longer refreshed! Plants no longer grow!

The Doomsday Scourge game has been online for more than 100 days, and the basic and new game rules have been figured out.

For example, in spring and summer, the system will spawn new resource points every once in a while. Although the number is scarce, there will be new additions anyway.

But now, she has been fishing by the river for several days, and she hasn’t seen a new resource point along the way.

Another example is a bush that grows berries. After picking the fruits, if the bush is not eaten by monsters, new fruits will grow every once in a while, and they will mature on the tenth day.

But now, there is no trace of fruit from the bushes!

All signs indicate that her guess is correct. In winter, crops stop growing and resource points stop refreshing.

“In other words, dig a little less for the resources near the territory. If you dig out all of it, you have to endure the cold and go farther to gather.

Whenever she feels that life is already so difficult, can it be even more difficult in the future? The game will prove with actual actions, yes.

“It’s no wonder that autumn will give 30 days to stock up on food.” Yunling reacted, “If this is not done in advance, all players on the server will die if the winter is not over.”

**

【Because of the cold, you are ill. Strength -5, Agility -5, Physical Strength -5, Intelligence -5, Spirit -5. 】

The prompt suddenly appeared, and Wei Qin was taken aback.

Before she fell ill, she thought, of the thousands of people in the territory, only fifty to sixty were unwell, and the proportion of sicknesses was not high. My physical fitness has always been good, even if I don’t have winter clothes, I should be fine.

With this idea, she worked hard. After the winter clothes are ready, they are sold at a high price, hoping to make more money.

I am happy to make money. I never expected that I also caught a cold and caught the cold.

I don’t know if it was a psychological factor. After seeing the prompt, Wei Qin was inexplicably dizzy and didn’t have much energy all over.

The most worrying thing is that it takes three days of rest (without cold for three consecutive days, working time <one hour) to restore health.

Wei Qin's heart was bleeding.

There is a lot of work to do, all of which is money!

If she quit her job because of illness, the customer will definitely find another tailor.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and her heart froze, "Isn't it just a cold? It's not a serious illness. Wear winter clothes to avoid aggravation of the cold, and work should be done or done."

The so-called asking for money but not life is talking about players like Wei Qin.

Smithy.

Zhang Hongbo wanted to buy some coal and burn it at home to keep warm. Unexpectedly, I scanned the shelves and found many new products.

Zhang Hongbo was surprised and delighted, "The hand stove is a good thing! Hold it in your hand for a while, and immediately your whole body is hot!"

"A brazier is good. If you stay in a wooden house, you need to make a brazier to heat it up. Otherwise, I'm afraid the whole house will burn."

"Lady Tang is even more useful. Pour hot water in before going to bed at night, seal the mouth, and put the Lady Tang in the quilt. The bed will be warm all night!"

Grandpa Old Man Zhang is a knitting expert, and he has made a fortune these days.

Before the winter, I bought a wooden house, stocked up rations, and kept firewood. I still have a lot of copper coins left in my hand. At this moment, seeing the system store selling coal, charcoal, hand stoves, braziers, and soup pots, why should I hesitate? Of course, buy and buy as much as you want!

**

It didn't take long for some residents to notice the good things to keep warm in the blacksmith's shop.

A fire needs fuel. Who can burn wood day and night? It's not a big family, and it doesn't stock much.

Tang Po is different.

Boil a pot of water by the way and pour it into the soup woman. Then wrap the outer layer with cotton cloth, hide in the bed, and keep it warm for a few hours.

For players wearing winter clothes, Tang Po is one of the means to protect against the cold, and it is nothing great.

But for players who can't afford/can't buy winter clothes, Tang Po is simply an artifact!

Players swarmed into the blacksmith shop to buy them, desperate to buy a soup woman to take home.

Unexpectedly, squeezed to the side of the shelf with great pains, but found that the goods had been looted long ago.

Someone talked to the blacksmith A, B, C, "When will the new soup lady be ready?"

The blacksmith armor smelt, and did not reply.

Blacksmith B concentrated on forging without raising his head.

Blacksmith C took the time to answer, "Not necessarily, just wait."

"Can you roughly estimate the time?" the player insisted.

Blacksmith C: "I'm not sure, just follow the fate."

Player, "…"

Line horn.

Various winter specialties are taking turns.

There are players who are not bad money, can't buy winter clothes, and accidentally caught a cold, out of helplessness, they can only buy food to drive the cold and cure the disease.

When I bought it, I was still mumbling, "You can regain your health by resting for three days (three consecutive days without cold, working time <one hour). How much food should you buy to eat? When you get better, will you not go bankrupt?"

Unexpectedly, bibimbap with chili sauce in the morning, spicy rabbit meat at noon, and Mapo tofu in the evening, the system sounds a reminder after eating.

[You are sweating, and the cold inside is gone. 】

【You have recovered to health. 】

Looking at the property panel again, the negative state has disappeared without a trace.

The player is stunned immediately, is this okay?

**

Within the territory.

Farmers A, B, C, D, Wuji and others are attending to the farmland.

Yunling looked at the growth of the field and found that everything was as usual and it was expected to mature in 10 days.

"Fortunately, the territory crops are not affected by the season."

She breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the stone house to check the bushes.

Hundreds of shrubs and dozens of pines and cypresses have been transplanted behind the house. Looking at it, the trees are lush and lush and lush.

Regrettably, the bushes showed no signs of fruit.

"Is it because these are transplanted from the wild, so there is no output in winter?"

Yun Ling was full of doubts, but no one answered her.

After pondering for a moment, she went to the tailor's shop.

Tailor A reported, "My lord, including what everyone (NPC) wears, there are currently 85 cotton-padded clothes, 60 cotton trousers, 65 pairs of cotton shoes, 40 woolen hats, 25 pairs of gloves, and 17 scarves."

Yunling had the final say, the territory NPC wore cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers, cotton shoes, and NPCs who went out wore cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers, cotton shoes, and woolen hats, gloves, or a scarf, which was almost enough.

Thinking of this, she ordered, “In the future, the five of you will specialize in making cotton clothes, cotton pants, and cotton shoes, and put them on the store shelves. Make sure to ensure the output and do more so that everyone can buy them.”

"Yes." The tailor A, B, C, D, and W responded in unison.

After the tailor was arranged, Yun Ling went to chat with Pastor A again.

"My lord." Pastor A's voice was extremely low, and he greeted softly.

"How are you doing? Is the territory safe? Are there many monsters attacking?" Yunling asked one after another.

"Not much." Pastor A shook his head, "Occasionally a few ran over and were shot immediately. Everyone rushed to attack, all wanting to do their best to protect the territory."

……Why do you want to talk about Robbery so beautifully? Yunling was speechless for a while.

On the one hand, fewer monsters and a safer territory is a good thing. On the other hand, the drop is reduced, which makes people feel very disappointed.

"I see. Go ahead." After speaking, Yun Ling turned and left, as natural as a normal player.

**

For several days, Yunling led a team out to dig, gather, pick up branches, and fish.

Although the daily harvest is no better than before, there are some gains, instead of sitting and eating.

As time goes by, more and more winter clothes are circulating on the market.

In addition, the blacksmith's shop sells braziers, hand stoves, and soups, and the restaurant sells spicy rabbit meat, pickled duck blood, mapo tofu, chili sauce, spicy boiled fish, and spicy grilled fish. Residents finally get out of the endless cold.

What's more, inspired by the restaurant's winter delicacy menu, it specializes in selling cold foods.

"Hu spicy soup! Delicious Hu spicy soup! Spicy and delicious, invigorating the blood to drive away the cold! Only 20 copper coins per bowl!"

"Secret ginger soup, exclusive formula! It can drive away the cold and prevent colds. Only 10 copper coins per bowl!"

"Stir-fried lamb with green peppers is delicious and cheap. If you have the opportunity, you must try it!"

With teamwork, cold players recovered quickly, and fewer and fewer people were sick.

The situation is finally under control.

**

In the wooden house, Wei Qin was sitting on the bed, leaning on the pillow, sewing gloves.

After making it, she bit off the silk thread and handed out the gloves, "These are the gloves, velvet hats, and cotton shoes that I promised to make for you."

Stick to work while sick? What kind of spirit is this?

The customers couldn't bear to look at them, and couldn't help but persuade her, "I have enough winter clothes to wear, so I'm not in a hurry to ask for it, so you should take more rest."

Wei Qin said, "I've done it for you, and there will be other guests in the future."

customer,"……"

"Are you not going to get sick?" she asked bluntly.

Wei Qin chuckled, "It's not a serious illness. Besides, am I not lying on the bed? There is a quilt under my body, and I am not afraid of catching a cold."

"However, you have to rest for three days to recover after being ill!" The customer reminded, "During this period, in addition to not catching cold, the working time cannot exceed one hour."

Wei Qin didn't take it seriously, "It's just a small cold, and it will be cured in a few days. Thank you for worrying about me, but I don't think it's a big deal."

Customers think about it and are still worried, "The stalls outside sell cold foods. What kind of spicy soup, secret ginger soup, green pepper fried lamb, a portion is not expensive, only 10-20 copper coins."

"Eat three servings a day, and the cold will heal immediately."

"Or you should buy a few servings and take care of the illness."

"Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it." Wei Qin smiled.

While talking, I was thinking, what kind of cold food? She will not waste money.

"Hey—" the customer stopped talking after seeing the persuasion, and just said, "Then you can figure it out. Anyway, there is a cotton-padded jacket and two pairs of cotton-padded trousers. I will pay you the balance after finishing it."

"Okay. Come by this time the day after tomorrow, I should be able to make a good deal…"

Before the words are finished, a reminder appears, [If you are not healed for a long time, you are overworked, and you die. 】

Wei Qin's eyes widened, before he could utter a word, he slowly fell down.

In the next second, white equipment appeared, and white skill cards appeared.

customer,"???"

customer,"!!!"

Customer, "Come on! Something happened!"

She screamed and ran out for help.

**

After the wind and cold, there are always people who don't take it seriously and treat it casually.

They think that if they are contaminated with a negative state, at best, their ability to move is affected, and nothing big can happen.

At the time when they were hanging out, bad news came-because of a long illness, some players died in the territory.

Lingyun Town is a safe area, and it is impossible to be attacked and assassinated, so it can only die due to illness.

As soon as the news came out, everyone panicked and never dared to take it seriously.

Immediately afterwards, cold-fighting foods were sold hot, and even the sales of cold-proof items were much better.

Residents were shocked, "If I get sick for a long time, people will die? Spicy chicken games don't make sense!"

"Thank God, fortunately I have high physical attributes and have not caught a cold, or I am really afraid of accidents."

Some people also said, “The most shocking thing is that the person who didn’t buy cold food and froze to death at home? I heard that he was not a poor person, and he made a lot of money for making winter clothes, so why couldn’t even buy three bowls of ginger soup? ?"

"Who knows…"

This incident is a wake-up call for all residents.

Regardless of the original attitude, everyone was vigilant after hearing the news and acted with extreme caution.

Mine.

Several young adults sweated like rain and worked hard to mine.

I don’t know how long it took, the panel displayed, [The cold wind is bitter, your hands and feet are cold. The player is contaminated with a negative state, strength-1, agility-1, and stamina-2. 】

If it was in the past, the person concerned would definitely not take it seriously and take a short break to continue digging.

This is usually done anyway, and nothing happened.

But today, the news that the player died of illness continued to echo in his mind.

He pursed his lips and pressed his heart cruelly, "I will return to the territory to rest first, and then come back when my condition returns to normal."

The companions understood very well, "Yes, go quickly."

"Money can't be earned, and small lives matter."

"Other cats have nothing to do in the territory. We have winter clothes, can mine, can earn money, and can level up. We don't know how much better than them! Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I'm leaving." The young man greeted him, then picked up the shovel and walked towards Lingyun Town without looking back.

**

Put on a cotton-padded jacket, put on cotton trousers, hold a soup woman in your arms, and get close to the fire, basically you won't feel the cold.

The warmth protection measures are in place, and the territory is filled with a cheerful and lively atmosphere again.

Early in the morning, Qiaoqiao was fully armed, wrapped in a scarf, and planned to go to the wild to pick wild vegetables and grains such as rice and wheat.

It's not that there is a lack of food at home, but that there are chickens, ducks and geese at home, and there is a lack of feed at this time.

In autumn, she always takes time every day to take the chicks, ducks and geese for walks in the wild, so that they can find food for themselves. Now the weather is cold and it is not convenient to take them out, so by coincidence, I went out to collect materials by myself and came back to feed them as feed.

Xu Ye was fed well, chickens, ducks and geese grew fast, and some of them are now able to lay eggs.

Sometimes when I get up early and touch it, I can pick up five eggs, three duck eggs, and two goose eggs.

It's best to drop by the lake to fill up some lake water and make more salt. When the time comes, salted duck eggs and salted goose eggs are marinated and served with white porridge. That taste!

Thinking of the excitement, Qiaoqiao couldn't help but speed up a bit.

As soon as he stepped out of his territory, a cold wind blew his face and poured straight into his neck.

Fortunately, she wore a scarf, Qiaoqiao secretly rejoiced.

Although she had cold-proof equipment, she couldn't stay in the wild for too long after all. She looked around, looked for a direction, and strode forward.

The surrounding area was extremely empty, and I hadn't seen anyone after walking for a long time, Qiaoqiao didn't care.

After walking for six or seven minutes, she saw a piece of wild vegetables, her eyes lit up, she took out the machete from the linen backpack and started to work.

【Successfully collect mustard greens*1. 】

【Experience +1. 】

[Congratulations to players for upgrading. 】

[You get 3 free attributes, which can be allocated at will. 】

[Sufficient proficiency, life skills "primary collection" will be upgraded to "intermediate collection". 】

"It's no wonder that even in winter, some people run out all day long." Qiao Qiao said, "Take advantage of other players who can't level up, and slowly gain experience to upgrade. When the winter is over, the level and attributes will not be opened for a while. Distance? At that time, there will be more or less advantages."

After thinking about it, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a team of thirty or forty people passing by, and then walked away mightily.

Qiao Qiao looked utterly speechless, "More than 30 people, all wearing cotton clothes, cotton trousers, cotton shoes, wool hats, gloves, how many tailors do you have? Not seven or eight people rushed to make it overnight. ?"

On the one hand, he marveled at the strong team and strong financial resources, on the other hand, he was inexplicably relieved.

As an official resident of Lingyun Town, she earnestly hopes that the more powerful the players in the territory, the better. Lingyun Town is tenacious and tenacious, and will never be breached.

With good expectations, Qiaoqiao lowered his head and continued to cut wild vegetables.
