Apocalypse Lord - Chapter 51
“Mage! Attack!” the captain shouted.
The team members worked together and desperately dumped their skills.
However, physical attacks are invalid, and only fire spell attacks can cause damage to shadow monsters.
In a blink of an eye, a player died.
Without waiting for other people’s reaction, the shadow monster hid in the shadow of another player.
“Ah! It’s eyeing me!” Seeing the continued drop in blood volume, the man was panicked beyond words.
“Calm down!” The captain whispered, “Take out all the bandages from the backpack and tie yourself.”
Then he turned his head and motioned to the priest, “Don’t be stupid! Give him blood and hang his life.”
Finally greeted the team members, “Everyone, let’s set the fire to kill the boss!”
Suddenly, everyone was confused. As the instructions were issued, the team members gradually recovered their composure and launched attacks in an orderly manner.
You come and I go between the two sides to start a tug-of-war. In the end, whoever wins and loses depends on whether the player’s HP is exhausted first, or whether the monster boss is killed first.
When the priest threw the last recovery skill, the shadow monster happened to be shattered and turned into a plume of smoke.
The attacked player’s legs and feet softened and collapsed to the ground.
“Survived…” He was still undecided, as if he had been frightened.
Purple outfit*3, purple skill card*1, blue equipment, white equipment, and a few materials, which are very rewarding.
Only when they saw the members who died unfortunately, they did not feel the joy of the harvest at all, but fell silent.

Lingyun Town.
Old man Zhang is holding the straw and weaving it in a hurry. As time passed, a half-person tall grass basket gradually took shape.
The system prompts, [Congratulations on making the furniture “grass basket”. 】
【Experience +5. 】
[Sufficient proficiency, life skills “Elementary Grass Art” will be upgraded to “Intermediate Grass Art”. 】
Satisfied, Old Man Zhang called his grandson Zhang Hongbo, “The new straw basket is ready, let’s sell it for money.”
Nowadays, players in Lingyun Town have a better life. Many people move into wooden houses and buy furniture.
The straw basket has a large volume, which can not only stack clothes, but also hold food such as bacon, mustard, and wowotou. It is very popular.
Although bamboo baskets made by bamboo craftsmen have similar effects, few people know how to make them. Every time the finished product is ready, it will be sold out as soon as it is taken out.
Zhang Hongbo took the straw basket and tried to discuss, “Grandpa, someone in the wooden house next door changed hands, should we buy it?”
Each player can only purchase one house. If someone wants to move into a stone house and has bought a wooden house before, he must first transfer his old house and then buy a new house.
Those who can afford stone houses are not bad for money. Sometimes in order to transfer as soon as possible, the price will be slightly lower than the normal price.
Now that there is a chance, Zhang Hongbo wants to take over.
“How can it work?” Old man blowing his beard and staring, “I said I would save money to buy a big house for you! I will marry a wife in the future and live in a wooden house of 20 square meters. More people will live in the future?”
“I’ll talk about the future in the future.” Zhang Hongbo said seriously, “I have spare money in my hand. I would rather buy more winter clothes and stock up on food.”
Old man Zhang did not say a word.
“It’s not worth spending all the money on the house.” Zhang Hongbo patiently persuaded, “Grandpa, I know you love me, but I also hope you can live better. Reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, day and night Ground weaving, it’s not necessary.”
Old man Zhang struggled for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, “Okay, I will listen to you.”

Every once in a while, Yunling would receive news that his territory was breached. After entering the fall, the number of appearances was a bit less.
Checking the small map at this time, you will find that the dots representing the territory have been greatly reduced, and the vicinity of Lingyun Town has obviously become empty.
“Why don’t you take the collection team to a place farther and see?” Yun Ling thought.
At this moment, the system prompt appeared automatically, [The player “Hu Haoyu” tried to dig a fish pond at **** and **** coordinates in Lingyun Town, do you agree? 】
[The player “Zheng Jiayi” tried to dig a well in **** and **** coordinates in Lingyun Town, do you agree? 】
There are already five wells and there is no need to rebuild them. Yunling did not hesitate to choose “No”.
As for the fish pond…
Yunling glanced at the small map and found that the location of the fish pond was actually in the center of the territory, adjacent to the residential area.
What fish pond is dug next to the residential area? It will be expanded in the future.
Thinking of this, Yunling flatly rejected the player’s request.

Yunwu Village.
Recently, the gods are enjoying food and eating, and the big guys have a good life, all of them are full of energy and spirits.
At noon, only caravans came to the village.
The leader set up a stall on the spot, “Sell straw shoes! A pair of 30 copper coins!”
“A pair of 30 copper coins? So cheap?” The residents couldn’t believe it.
Unexpectedly, the other party continued to sell, “Sell the clothes, one piece of 30 copper coins.”
“Sell wooden shields, one for 40 copper coins.”
“Sell cloth armor, one piece of 40 copper coins.”
…
The caravan brought a huge variety of goods, and the prices were so low that they were beyond imagination. Immediately someone rushed up with red eyes, “Where is the wooden shield? I want to buy it!”
Why is the price so cheap?
Isn’t it at a loss?
Where is so much equipment?
There are many doubts, but Yunwu Village players can’t care about it. At this moment, they have only one idea in their minds-buy it and earn it!
So in the next second, residents gathered around and said, “I want to buy!”
“Bring me two pairs of straw sandals.”
“I want a wooden shield and cloth armor.”
…
The members of the caravan were so busy that they sometimes didn’t even have time to collect the money.
The captain Ren Shile took a break and tried to estimate the profit. After calculating the result, the heartbeat speeds up abruptly, and the breathing stagnates.
**
Sunset Village.
Dong Haotian took a sweet pole and lay in the tent to rest.
The sweet sticks are crispy and delicious, and taste sweeter than sugar. It is very rare and extremely difficult to come across.
Dong Haotian happened to meet him, so he folded it as a snack.
“Winter is coming soon, can the next season be over?” He was very unsure, “Would you like to live in another territory?”
As soon as the thought arises, it can no longer be dispelled.
In the past, Dong Haotian believed that the system territory was similar, and it was the same everywhere. But recently, he gradually changed his mind.
Not all the residents of the territory have become more and more indifferent and live indifferently.
Not all players are struggling to survive and are always on the verge of death.
He was just out of luck, and he didn’t meet anyone who was powerful and reliable.
Inadvertently, Dong Haotian recalled the woman who had saved his life again.
Young, beautiful, leading the team, with many purple outfits, and affordable s-level skills. The most important thing is to be willing to lend a helping hand in the face of the weak.
What kind of environment can cultivate such a strong person?
If it were her territory, maybe the law and order would be much better than other places?
Anyway, where you live is the same, why don’t you go to Lingyun Town to have a look?
Dong Haotian thought about moving countless times, but couldn’t make up his mind.
“There are only a few days left in autumn, and I don’t know what bears look like in winter.”
“If you have anything you want to do, hurry up and do it these few days. Hoarding food for hoarding, hoarding equipment for hoarding equipment, hoarding money for earning money, making cotton-padded clothes for cotton-padded clothes. Waiting for a few days to become a disaster. No matter what you want to do today, it’s not convenient now.”
The conversation sounded abruptly outside the tent. Soon, the voice turned low, and it was obvious that the other party had already gone far.
Dong Haotian climbed up with a solemn expression, “Yes, when the disaster day comes, I can’t leave if I want to. You must make a decision as soon as possible.”
After thinking about it, he finally settled down hard-tomorrow morning he will pack his luggage and move to Lingyun Town to live.
…
The road of autumn is not difficult to follow. When you meet mobs, you only need to avoid them far to get rid of them.
No words all the way.
It took Dong Haotian nearly two hours to reach Lingyun Town smoothly.
Before entering the territory, he had done psychological construction for himself countless times. As long as Lingyun Town is similar to Wanxia Village, or slightly better in some respect, the decision to move is correct.
In fact, it is not easy for Wanxia Village to be worse than it… the territories that are extremely poor have long been breached.
Thinking of this, Dong Haotian felt relieved inexplicably and strode inside.
“Sell oven-baked bread! Delicious oven-baked bread!”
“Maltose! Delicious maltose!”
“Selling straw sandals! There are also straw baskets and straw mats, whatever you choose!”
Dong Haotian rubbed his eyes, almost thinking he was wrong.
Every family raises chickens and ducks, and some people open up a vegetable garden behind the house, and the children reluctantly leave around the maltose stall, which is clearly the same as before.
Is this really a system territory, not a peaceful country town?
Dong Haotian stayed in place.
The backpack was slit, revealing the sweet stem inside. Some residents saw it, their eyes lit up, and asked, “Can you sell sweet bars?”
Dong Haotian, “?”
He hesitated, “Someone buys this too?”
“Look at what you said, sweet sticks are rare! Why no one buys them?” The man said enthusiastically, “How about two copper coins?”
This is a snack he bought casually, and it’s good to be able to sell it for money.
Dong Haotian collected the money and handed out the sweet stick.
“Someone sells sweet sticks here?!”
I don’t know who screamed, the people around heard it, and the residents all looked at Dong Haotian.
At the same time, someone hurriedly approached, “Are you selling sweet bars? Give me two.”
“I also want.”
“Oh, this sweet stick is so fragrant, I think of the days when I ate sweet sticks.”
In the blink of an eye, all the sweet bars were sold out.
Dong Haotian held more than 30 copper coins in a daze.
Why are copper coins so easy to earn?
Why can I make money without going out hunting?
Sweet bars can only be used as snacks, not as meals, so many people are willing to pay for it…
Dong Haotian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly patted his head in annoyance, “Why come here to settle in such a good place now!”
**
Autumn is the harvest season.
Anyone who sees more firewood, more food, and more copper coins at home will make you feel happy.
Unconsciously, the text in the upper right corner changed to, “The 101st day, winter, disaster day.”
This morning, Yunling had just woke up, and suddenly noticed a chill in the room. It seemed that winter had come overnight.
“His-why is it so cold?”
Yunling quickly got up and put on the down jacket he had purchased.
This is collected by players from the mall before the end of the day. It is said that they have been hoarding for a long time. I wanted to stock up and found out that the non-gaming items could not cope with the bad weather, so they were only half-sold and half-free, and they were dealt with cheaply.
Yunling bought one purely to verify his conjecture.
Unsurprisingly, the upper body of the down jacket has no warmth at all. The air leaked everywhere, and the cold air burrowed straight into the body.
“It really didn’t work.” Yunling gave up, took off the down jacket, and then put on the cotton-padded jacket, cotton trousers, cotton shoes, down cap, gloves, and scarf prepared in advance.
Every time you wear it, it feels better.
When she was fully armed and wrapped herself tightly, she finally realized what warmth is.
“It’s a cold day, will you freeze to death without winter clothes?” Yun Ling felt grief.
Out of the stone house, she knocked on the door of the neighbor to send warmth.
Lu Chuan was not polite and accepted it calmly.
However, You Qingwen was a little entangled, “Is this to be considered as an npc (lord) favorability level in order to obtain ultra-rare equipment?”
Although the cold-proof items are white and blue in quality and have low additional attributes, they are super practical! It won’t be cold immediately after putting it on!
Hearing this, Yun Ling said with a serious face, “That’s what you deserve. The average person’s favorability is not so high.”
You Qingwen, “…”
What you said makes sense, but I was speechless.
She was no longer polite and put away her clothes, shoes and hats.
**
Although the temperature has dropped sharply, the worst has not yet been reached because it has not snowed yet.
In order to prevent the inconvenience of traveling in the future, the hunting team will go out as usual, hoping to gain something.
Yunling motioned to the armor to distribute cotton-padded jackets, and then said in a deep voice, “The cold-proof items are limited. Currently, we can only provide you with a cotton-padded jacket. If anyone can’t bear it now, please tell me in time and don’t insist on it.”
The members of the collection squad nodded, but no one left.
Upon seeing this, Yunling waved his hand, “Go.”
As always, the guards led a team, and Yunling led a team, and everyone explored in different directions.
The moment Yunling stepped out of the territory, Yunling’s movements paused slightly, “It’s so cold.”
Staying in the stone house, she said that it was cold, more because the temperature changed too much and she couldn’t adapt to it for a while.
Say it’s cold now, it’s really cold. The cold wind pierced the bones, the fingers froze quickly, and his movements became slow.
Why is there such a big temperature difference inside and outside the territory?
Yunling suddenly thought of the green plants. Regulating the temperature in the territory, shouldn’t it mean adjusting down in summer and adjusting up in winter?
Before she could understand, a little girl’s teeth trembled, “It’s too, too cold.”
“There is only one cotton coat, I’m afraid it won’t last long.” Pang Yu was worried.
Yun Ling’s heart sank suddenly. It seems to be more difficult than expected to get through the winter.
Winter clothes are in short supply, and it is difficult for ordinary players to get one. However, under the current situation, without wearing cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers, cotton shoes, and fleece caps, there is no way to be active in the wild for too long…
After thinking about it, she said, “On the first day of winter, you don’t have to go too far, just stroll around nearby.”
In the event of an accident, you can return to the territory to rest in time.
It is said that the gathering team only needs to move around the territory, and the spirit of the gathering team is refreshed, and the atmosphere is much eased.
“Go over there and take a look.” Yunling walked ahead and led the way.
Passing a berry forest on the way, she did not stop the gathering team, but continued to move forward.
Walking and walking, when he met a piece of Chili Pepper, Yunling ordered the players to work.
After leaving the territory for about twenty-five minutes, one person warned, “I am infected with a negative state.”
Yunling walked to the player steadily, “Let me see.”
That person took the initiative to set it to “public” mode.
The panel shows, [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. 】
[Note: Physical strength determines the value of life and the ability to run/fight/action for a long time. The higher the physical attribute, the less negatively affected by the environment. 】
…In less than half an hour, someone could not hold it.
You know, after experiencing spring, summer, and autumn, the level of the members of the collection team can be higher than before!
In addition, most of them are agile and physically stronger. For each level, add 2 agility and 1 stamina, or 1 agility and 2 stamina. Logically speaking, resistance is significantly enhanced.
Is the winter too difficult, or the difficulty of the game is gradually increasing? A faint premonition faintly appeared in Yun Ling’s heart.
Settling her mind, she said, “Forbearance. After two hours of shopping, everyone will go back to rest together.”
“Okay.” The man nodded without objection.
The autumn has just ended, and there are many edible crops.
Yunling sent people to pick Chaotian peppers, millet peppers, cotton cloth, and sweet potatoes. They were about to harvest sisal. The player who was the first to be affected by the negative state hurriedly reported, “The situation has become serious.”
The panel shows, [You feel that your body is very cold, and your limbs are frozen. The player is contaminated with a negative state, strength-2, agility-2, and stamina-4. 】
Generally speaking, the negative state is divided into three stages.
The first stage is in a harsh environment and is slightly affected.
In the second stage, the degree is aggravated and it is not suitable for continued action.
In the third stage, you are sick, weak and unable to move normally for several days.
Yunling, as an all-powered player, has extremely high resistance. Although it feels a bit cold, it is not contaminated with a negative state. At this moment, seeing his subordinates entering the second stage, he couldn’t help being speechless-his bones were too weak…
“Stop shopping, go back first,” she said.
Walking on the road, Yun Ling suddenly remembered a question: If the other team did not lead the team, would it be the same as usual, going out for a whole day? !
Thinking of this, she intuitively felt that something was going to happen.
Unexpectedly, returning to the territory, the armor has led the team to return in advance. Yun Ling was surprised, “Why are you back?”
Do you know that you can’t wander outside in the winter? So smart!
The armor lowered his head, “Not long after we left Lingyun Town, we were attacked by the ice element. The other party had more than 30 hostile units with a lot of control skills, so it failed to bring everyone back safely…”
Yun Ling’s pupils suddenly shrank, “How many people have something wrong?”
Guard Armor reported, “Gathering Squad Member-2, Guard-2.”
Yunling was silent for a long time before asking, “Where are the equipment and skills?”
The armor replied, “After clearing the ice element, all the items dropped were brought back together.”
Yun Ling said nothing, and it took a long time to speak slowly, “Return the skills and equipment dropped by the members of the collection team to the family. In addition to this, another 300 copper coins pension will be given.”
“The guard’s equipment and cards are distributed to other people (npc), so that they can learn the skills to the full.”
“Yes.” The guard armor responded in a deep voice.
Seeing Yu, a member of the collection team, was undecided, with a panic expression on his face, Yun Ling disbanded the team, “All go back to rest, and no more going out today.”
**
In the mine.
A group of young adults brandished shovels and worked hard to mine.
Suddenly, one person received a system prompt, [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. 】
The man almost exploded, “I was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, why would I still be in a negative state?”
The companion next to you said quietly, “Because you only wear cotton clothes, no cotton trousers, and no leather gloves.”
That person, “…”
He also knows that wearing cotton trousers and leather gloves can keep you warm. Isn’t this tight on hand and want to save some money?
The person was unwilling and complained in a low voice, “Forget Agility-1, why deduct strength and physical strength?”
Strength determines the ability to damage and carry weight.
Agility determines the speed of reaction and movement.
Physical strength determines the value of life and the ability to run/fight/action for a long time.
Mining is physical activity.
The power is low, the efficiency is low, and the work is particularly slow.
The agility is slow, the reaction speed is slow, and there is almost no effect.
The physical strength is low, and it will not take long to be exhausted. If you don’t rest, your negative state will intensify and your attributes will weaken even more.
Therefore, he does not care about the decline of agility attributes, but very much care about the weakening of strength and physical attributes.
“All the deductions are deducted, can you still reason with the system?” his companion advised him, “Let’s take a break, the current state is not suitable for continuing to work.”
The man had no choice but to stop mining, walked to the side and sat down alone.
**
field.
A team of five is wandering around.
The archer shrank his neck and whispered, “What the **** is this weather? It’s too cold!”
“No way.” The mage looked helpless, “There are just a few tailors in the territory, and the number of cold-proof equipment they make every day is limited. It doesn’t matter, you can’t buy it at all.”
In the past, he always felt that he could earn more coins and buy everything he wanted.
Later I found out that I was doing well, but there were more people who were better than him! He intends to spend money on equipment, and some people are willing to spend more money.
So he came and went, even if he had money, he didn’t buy cotton clothes, cotton trousers, cotton shoes, woolen hats, or gloves.
“Forbearance these days.” The mage didn’t know if he was comforting his companions or comforting himself, “Wait until the top teams put on winter clothes, then it’s our turn.”
“Who made us not specialize in cultivating life skills players? Others raise their own tailors, make their own cold-proof equipment, and give priority to their own team when they have finished products.”
The archer hummed, “Don’t look at it. How much does it cost to cultivate a living player? Even if you take pains to raise it, the gain and the return are not necessarily proportional.”
“Rather than cultivating it yourself, it’s better to just buy the ready-made one.”
“Winter clothing is in short supply now, but after a while, when the tailors vacate their hands, there will definitely be extra equipment to sell.”
The pastor was rather resentful, “So why should we venture out and walk around on the first day of winter? Can’t we come out after buying winter clothes?”
The mage didn’t have a good air, “I can’t do anything while staying in the territory, so wasting time? It’s better to go out and go shopping, which is more or less rewarding.”
The pastor was indescribably irritable, “Surely all the mobs ran to hibernation in this winter? It’s been a while since they came out, why didn’t a monster see it?”
As soon as the voice fell, the system prompts, [You feel that your body is very cold, and your limbs are frozen. The player is contaminated with a negative state, strength-2, agility-2, and stamina-4. 】
“My day!” The pastor couldn’t help but swear. “If you go on shopping, the attributes will be deducted. What are you going to do?”
This is actually an exaggeration. After all, each team member has 2-3 purple outfits, and the attributes are quite powerful.
It’s just that no matter how high his attributes are, he can’t resist the cold, and he can’t wait to faint on the spot in the cold day.
The mage wanted his teammates to endure, but before he could say his words, he also received the same system prompt.
Suddenly, her lips were pressed into a straight line, and she couldn’t say a word.
In the entire team, only two fighters have high physical attributes, and they are still in the negative state of the first stage at this time. But even so, they were not cold.
“Why don’t we forget it, shall we go back?” a soldier suggested.
“You come out to vote, and when you go back, you also vote. The minority obeys the majority.” The priest shivered and finished speaking firmly, “I agree to go back. How about you?”
“I can’t pull the bow because my hands are cold. What else?” The archer was determined, “I want to go back to town.”
3 votes in favor, the proposal passed.
Upon seeing this, the mage gave up struggling. He took the lead and said, “Walk and go, I can’t stand it anymore.”
“Then you still clamoring to come out?” The priest was irritable. He quickened his pace and hurried back, wishing to return to his territory in the next second.
**
The weather greatly affected the normal activities of players.
Except for a few teams that prepared cold-proof items in advance and can hunt normally, others either stayed in the territory for the winter, or tried to go out and then were frozen back.
“You should do nothing in winter and stay in your territory honestly.”
“Anyway, there are a lot of food reserves in autumn, enough to eat for 20 days, and it’s okay if you don’t go out.”
“The temperature in the territory is cold, let alone the wild, don’t go out if you don’t want to die.”
Before long, the news of “cannot go out in winter” spread to every corner of Lingyun Town.
“Anyway, there is nothing to do in the territory, why don’t we make something delicious?”
The residents never greeted each other, but they all acted together.
Someone took out the purple sweet potato and crushed it into a mashed purple sweet potato. Then grind the rice into rice noodles to make rice cakes. The upper and lower layers of rice cakes, the middle layer of purple sweet potatoes, and the purple sweet potato steamed rice cakes are ready.
Some people cut the potatoes into strips, then fry them, add hot sauce, salt and other seasonings, and the simple fried potatoes are ready.
Someone who is skilled in cooking takes flour, salt, and cooking oil to make dough. When the dough is ready, cut into strips, pour in chili oil and vinegar, the taste is wonderful.
Before the end of the world, there are people who have specially learned craftsmanship, gathered materials, and performed live performances to make Indian flying cakes. The blended flour is flying in the air, and the scene is extremely spectacular. The made flying pie is delicious, rich and crispy, and tastes crunchy.
…
Unconsciously, Lingyun Town became a “Gourmet Town”, with the aroma of food floating in the air.
