Apocalypse Lord - Chapter 61

“Here, summer clothes, ice drink.” Yunling knocked on the neighbor’s door to send warmth.

“Come in and talk?” Lu Chuan turned sideways.

“No.” Yunling shook his head, “I still have things to do.”

The lord is very busy.

Not only have to deal with the medium and small matters of the territory, but also give special gifts to players with high affection during the holidays.

All right. Lu Chuan simply stood at the door and said, “The temperature is too high. At this temperature, ordinary players can’t go out at all.”

“Even if you stay in the territory honestly, there is a possibility of heatstroke. The residents have already fainted several people.”

“According to my guess, if you want to get through the summer, ice cubes are indispensable.”

Assistant A is really capable. How much does it cost to hire? Such thoughts drifted through Yun Ling’s mind unconsciously.

The next second, thinking that Assistant A possesses 4 S-level combat skills and the “Advanced Barbecue” life skill, she tightened her face and subconsciously covered her purse-it must be super expensive, or forget it.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Chuan asked in surprise when seeing the person in front of him suddenly become nervous.

“I suddenly realized that the current situation is quite dangerous!” Yun Ling replied solemnly.

A smile flickered in Lu Chuan’s eyes, “Don’t worry too much. There is a mine not far from Lingyun Town, which is rich in saltpetre resources. If a part of iced drinks are produced and sold at a low price, the residents will have the ability to move freely. After that, dig more. , Natural energy supply and demand balance.”

Yunling, “…”

In fact, the ice store has a lot of ice.

The warehouse stocks a lot of saltpeter.

If you use all of it, you will probably be able to let the residents of the whole territory spend the summer peacefully.

The hoarding madman is so terrible, but she doesn’t say it.

“Thank you for your suggestion.” Yun Ling said calmly.

Lu Chuan looked at Yunling with a gentle smile, “For the territory.”

Yunling sighed in her heart, how good is it to lead the people? If everyone is like Lu Chuan, she won’t have to worry.

**

studio.

Zhang Heng was dumbfounded, “So many saltpeters?!”

“Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while.” Yunling said sternly, “Make ice well. In the future, you will be promoted and raise your salary, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life is no longer a dream.”

What if it doesn’t meet the boss’s requirements? Have they been laid off and unemployed since then and become people waiting for relief?

Zhang Heng did not dare to ask, only said, “I will work hard.”

“Not enough effort.” Yunling corrected, “We must do our best to do it.”

Zhang Heng, “…”

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and changed his mouth, “I will do my best!”

**

Yunling did not pin his hopes on Zhang Heng alone. After giving the order, she left the studio and turned to find You Qingwen.

“This is a summer gift package, a gift from the lord.”

“This is saltpeter, the material for making ice.”

“Does the scientific researcher you know know how to make ice?”

You Qingwen: “Yes, let us collect saltpeter not long ago.”

There are always some people who can turn around under the command of others, even if they do not possess super-high force.

Such as advanced life players.

Such as scientific research bosses.

The most important thing is that the driven players are willing to run errands.

“He produced the technology, we worked hard to provide the materials, and the finished products were divided equally. There is no reason not to agree.” You Qingwen continued.

“Let’s work together, I will produce the materials, the scientific research leaders will produce the technology, you will help align the lines, and sell the finished products, and the profit will be distributed 1:1:1. How about?” Yunling proposed.

You Qingwen was slightly surprised, “Don’t let the system store sell it?”

“No.” Yunling shook his head, “Ice may be a key item to spend the summer safely. The price is high and residents cannot afford it. I plan to sell it at an ultra-low price so that everyone can go out under the scorching sun.”

It is convenient and convenient to put it in a restaurant, but this does not conform to the usual style of the dogbi system, and it is easy to be suspicious.

You Qingwen reacted, “In this way, the normal life of the residents will not be affected by the weather conditions.”

Yun Ling nodded, “Rather than being trapped in the territory with everyone else, it is better to let them out and find more game materials.”

“Understood.” You Qingwen promised, “I’ll leave the errands to me! I will do it properly for you!”

**

In the territory, residents hide under the trees to enjoy the cool.

Someone slapped the banana fan and talked about the sky, suddenly fainted.

“Why are you dizzy again!!” The residents hurriedly helped to level the people.

Leng Bai brought Nan Yun and planned to let her make ice cubes and set up a stall on the spot.

“What’s the price?” Nan Yun asked.

If the price is too low, you will feel that it is not worthwhile.

The price is too high, the residents cannot afford it, and setting up stalls is a waste of time.

Leng Bai fell into deep thought and did not speak for a while.

At this moment, a loud voice sounded, “Sell ice water! A glass of 5 copper coins! Pour it in one bite, and it will immediately become cooler!”

“Red bean smoothie! Only 20 copper coins per bowl! Come buy what you want!”

“Ice cube is on sale! One 2 copper coin, the purchase limit is 10 yuan per person!”

In the last second, everyone was wilted and listless.

In the next second, they heard the cries, and everyone rushed to the stall, “Here is a red bean smoothie, don’t grab it with me!!!”

“Come and save a glass of ice water!”

“I want ice cubes, 10 pieces.”

Cold white,”……”

Nan Yun, “…”

“I thought the summer was too hot, most players would not be able to survive. I didn’t expect that there are so many capable people in Lingyun Town, so we don’t need to worry about it.” Leng Bai laughed mockingly, “Let’s go.”

Nan Yun didn’t turn the corner for a while, “I don’t make ice for sale?”

“No,” said coldly, “I don’t think my team is enough, there is no need to transfer it at a low price.”

**

Put on linen, linen trousers, hats, drunk refreshing drinks, Yunling led the team and set off.

Because of the increasing number of combat NPCs, there are almost hundreds of people, Yun Ling divided them into three small teams, and then each explored in different directions.

The weather was extremely hot, the ground was scorching hot, and even the air was warm.

Yunling took the team and planned to go shopping in the sea.

Although the recruitment notice has been hung up for a long time, no one has applied for the job. Although there is still some distance from the upgrade of the territory, this does not prevent her from checking in frequently and trying to make use of the sea resources.

Among other things, there are seaweed and kelp in the sea, which are good ingredients when they are collected.

On the way, a group of people were on their way, and suddenly there was the roar of arrows behind them.

Yunling avoided subconsciously.

Turning his head to see, more than 30 centaurs were looking at them with enthusiasm.

A centaur is a monster that is a half-man and a half-horse. The upper body is a human body, and the lower body is a horse body. It moves very fast and is good at riding and shooting.

Seeing the player turn his head, the half-man horse drawn bow shooting arrows, coincidentally aiming at the target.

“Enemy attack!” Yunling shouted a warning.

As soon as the voice fell, the soldier walked to the forefront automatically to block the arrow rain attack.

The mages raised their staffs and released their skills.

The most conspicuous of these is Master Xin.

Read the phrase “flame storm”, and immediately there are countless flames raging in a square area. All the twelve centaurs standing in the field were hit hard.

Saying “Soul Burning” again, a centaur with minor injuries was second.

Upon seeing this, his companions made up for it, and one third of the enemy army was wiped out.

Yunling carried the fish scale shield and rushed into the monster group. The cape of fire feathers shone, screaming violently from the surrounding enemy forces.

“Flame Storm!” After the skill was cooled down, Mage Xin performed another group attack skill.

There were more injured centaur this time, fifteen or six.

Other NPCs make up the knife and are responsible for the tail-sweeping work.

At the end of the battle, Yun Ling looked at Master Xin with his eyes full of approval, “Good job.”

Mage Xin leaned back, his expression was calm, and his face showed no signs of expression.

“Let’s go, keep going.” With that, Yunling took the lead.

**

The ice cubes are selling hot, and the residents are exhausted and become alive again.

Because the price of ore has been high since the spring, Tian Zhehan called on the members and went to the mine to dig together.

After walking for a few minutes, the priest murmured, “Strange, why does it suddenly feel so hot?”

“Me too…” The companion just wanted to say that he was too, and when he turned his head, he was shocked, “Run! The woods are on fire!!”

Everyone, “???”

Behind him, the trees ignited spontaneously, and the fire spread quickly to the surroundings.

“Return to the territory!!” Tian Zhehan made a decisive decision.

The group of people could not help but rushed.

Fortunately, they were not far from Lingyun Town, and they successfully entered the territory after three minutes of running.

Seeing that the fire was blocked by the protective cover outside the town, Tian Zhehan felt lingering, “The game has about a hundred ways to punish people, it’s really hard to guard against…”

Take a break, before I have time to think about what to do next, the protective cover warns, [Warning! warn! The health of the protective cover has fallen below 25%! Please take action to put out the fire as soon as possible. 】

Tian Zhehan and others, “???”

Territory residents, “???”

“What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and put out the fire!!”

Residents carried buckets, or drew water from a nearby well, or ran to the stream to fetch water from the stream.

After tossing for a while, everyone worked together and finally put out the fire.

“What kind of broken game? It’s too difficult!” Many players slumped on the ground, feeling sad and wanting to cry.

**

In the evening, the players returned with a full load, and Lingyun Town became lively again.

“I collected the white fungus! I can make the white fungus soup by myself without having to buy it in a restaurant!”

“I got tea, killed the bison, and found milk. Milk tea, I’m coming!!”

“I dug a big watermelon. In the evening, a mouthful of watermelon and a mouthful of ice water, happy like a fairy!”

The air is full of joy, and every resident has a sincere smile on his face.

Mo Qi had mixed feelings in his heart, “If you change to another territory, the lack of ice alone can stump most players in the safe zone. Struggling to survive will be the main theme of the entire summer.”

How to risk going out without heatstroke?

How can I get more saltpeter?

How to make more ice cubes?

How to get more food so that relatives and friends will not starve to death?

For ordinary players, each one is a difficult problem.

But the residents of Lingyun Town solved all the problems on the first day of summer. This efficiency… seems to be a cheat device.

“Whenever I think I have deeply realized the uniqueness of Lingyun Town, life will bring me new surprises.” Mo Qi couldn’t express emotion.

“It’s getting used to it after a long time.” Leng Bai looked indifferent. However, when speaking, my heart is not at peace.

The more I have undergone games, the more I understand how precious the peace in front of me is.

Mo Qi stretched his eyebrows and smiled sincerely, “This is the first time, I feel from the bottom of my heart that you may be able to overcome difficulties and live for a long time.”

**

“These are the drop materials for Daguai.”

Shattered, the materials piled up into a hill.

“This is a blueprint, only for life players.”

A touch of his pocket, 70 or 80 drawings were handed out.

“There are also white outfits and blue outfits, all of which are dropped by Daguai. I can’t use it, and I don’t bother to set up a stall to sell it, so I just give it to you.”

Yunling looked at the piles scattered on the table, then turned his gaze to Lu Chuan, speechless for a long while.

After a while, she asked, “Why send me?”

Lu Chuan: “You said you like it.”

Yunling was silent.

You Qingwen will also give her pastries as gifts. However, that is to gain favorability of the lord to obtain special equipment/props/items.

Lu Chuan is different.

There are barbecues to send barbecues, equipment to send equipment, and game materials to send game materials. It is simply a bankruptcy and a good impression!

Yun Ling couldn’t help asking him, “What do you want?”

The big deal is that she accepts the offerings, realizes the wishes of the people, and pretends that she is the summoned dragon.

“I don’t want anything.” Lu Chuan said casually, “Anyway, it’s not a valuable thing, just take it for you.”

“How could someone not ask for anything in return?” Yunling couldn’t understand.

Lu Chuan: “Aren’t you having a good time collecting materials? Maybe the fun of other people’s games is to brush the lord’s favorability to full value.”

Yunling, “…”

you win.

“You said it was given for free.” Yun Ling muttered and started to organize.

“Well, I said.” Seeing Yunling put away the items with joy, Lu Chuan’s smile was especially bright, and Lu Chuan’s eyes were filled with a smile, and his mood was quite happy.

**

Lu Chuan’s guess is correct.

There is a continuous supply of ice cubes. Residents can drink a glass of ice water every morning and evening, and they can move freely on the same day, and the territory can operate smoothly.

It’s just a matter of time to save enough coins and upgrade buildings.

The 167th day.

[The ice store is upgraded to level 3. 】

[Ice Storage (Level 3): With an area of ​​2000 square meters, it can produce 1 cubic meter of ice cubes per day, which can refrigerate food and extend the shelf life. 】

In this way, the daily output of ice cubes has become 125,000, which is enough for residents.

The 178th day.

system hint–

[1. Unlock 8 different buildings. (completed)】

[2, 4 buildings are upgraded to level 3. (completed)】

[3. The number of residents exceeds 3000 for 30 consecutive days. (completed)】

[4. For 30 consecutive days, the daily income of the territory exceeded 10,000 copper coins. (completed)】

[5. The territory has 100 combat system guards and 20 life system NPCs. (completed)】

[Meet all the conditions, do you pay 500,000 copper coins to upgrade your territory to a city? 】

Yunling glanced at the small treasury, and said regretfully, “If you don’t have enough money, you have to save more.”

**

Summer is passing, autumn is coming and winter is approaching, and in a blink of an eye it is another year.

Autumn is no different from the past. It is still 20 harvest days and 10 safe days.

In view of the painful lessons learned last winter, the residents did not dare to relax, but seized the rare good opportunity to hoard desperately.

On the 212th day, before the arrival of winter, 50w copper coins were collected.

The long journey of saving money is finally over, Yunling can’t wait to click “Yes”.

Subsequently, many system prompts popped out.

【update successed. 】

[Territory area expanded. 】

[Congratulations to “Lingyun Territory” for the first upgrade to a city, rewarding the lord with 10,000 experience points and rewarding 100,000 copper coins. 】

[Congratulations to the players for upgrading to 2 consecutive levels. 】

[You get 6 free attributes, which can be allocated at will. 】

[Congratulations to the first upgrade of “Lingyun Territory” to a city, which can unlock buildings +1. 】

[Congratulations to the “Lingyun Territory” being the first to be upgraded to a city, and the status of the leader gains +1. 】

[Please select 2 of the following 4 options as rewards. (All formal residents can enjoy the gain status.)]

1. The upgrade speed becomes 1.1 times.

2. The upgrade speed of life skills becomes 1.1 times.

3. Agility +5.

4. Spirit +5.

Looking at the four options, Yun Ling was lost in thought.

There are many life players in Lingyun Town, but anyone who unlocks life skills early is now at least up to the intermediate level. Some of them worked hard, and even advanced to a high level.

Is there a higher level above the advanced level? Yunling didn’t know.

Anyway, when the game went live, she was “Advanced Cooking” and “Advanced Sewing”. During this period of time, many items were made, and there were several purple outfits, and his proficiency soared, but it was still “high-level cooking” and “high-level sewing.”

“If the life skills are top-level, you can lose a lot if you choose 2.” She secretly thought.

As for 1, the higher the level, the more experience points are required. There is a gain status bonus, but it is convenient for the people to upgrade.

And 3, 4, which is equivalent to an increase of 1.5 levels out of thin air, all attributes add agility and spirit.

“The agility increases, the movement speed increases, whether it is to hurry or flee, it will help.” Thinking of this, Yunling chooses 1 and 3, and the free attributes still increase his physical strength.

Open the real estate property panel, I see the display above

【Territory Name: Lingyun】

[Level: City. (Full level)】

【Tax: 5%. (0-100%, the lord has the right to adjust independently)]

【Inhabitable population: 30000】

Blacksmith’s shop (level 2): ​​Omitted. 】

After the territory is upgraded, you will receive 100,000 copper coins as a reward. Yunling thought for a while and spent the money directly.

[Farmland is upgraded to level 3. 】

[Farmland (Level 3): You can hire people to cultivate, harvest crops steadily, and open a field requires 100 copper coins. (Currently, you can own up to 100 fields)]

Seeing that the territory has been upgraded to full level, and many buildings have been upgraded to level 3, Yunling feels unspeakable satisfaction in his heart, and feels that his life has been fulfilled.

**

The town was upgraded to a city, and the movement was huge, and the players who remained in the territory were all disturbed.

“Fuck, has it upgraded again?” Someone noticed it for the first time.

The protective cover continues to expand, covering more areas. When it stopped, the area of ​​the territory increased more than five times.

Looking at the protective shield that was out of sight, a player sighed, “How long does it take to walk from the end of the territory to the end of the territory? Shouldn’t it take an hour or two?”

Some people also exclaimed, “Ahhhhhhh! There is the Pianhai! Later, Lingyun Town will be connected to the sea?!”

Others opened the panel to view the leaderboard.

I saw it clearly read-

[Global Territory Ranking (The same rank is sorted by upgrade time)]

1. Lingyun City, S City

2. Xintong Town, City F

3. Qingzhu Town, City A

[Ranking of existing buildings in global territories]

1. Lingyun City, 10

2. Xintong Town, 8

3. Qingzhu Town, 8

“Sure enough, our territory is the first to be the first to upgrade.” The player who spoke was full of pride in his words, as if he was proud of being a resident of Lingyun Town.

“I don’t know what new buildings will appear in the future…” The other person looked forward to it, full of expectation.

**At the same time, the official residents who were hunting in the wild suddenly realized that their skills had become more agile.

It was dangerous to avoid the monster’s attack. Suddenly, it reacted faster and could easily dodge the attack.

What’s wrong? The player wondered.

After he killed the prey and checked the attribute status, he discovered that the gain status changed to –

【Health +100. 】

【Basic recovery speed + 2 HP/minute. 】

[The upgrade speed has been changed to 1.1 times. 】

【Agility +5. 】

“This gain state is a bit powerful.” The player couldn’t help but exclaimed.

**

S City, Baiyang Town.

Twelve players gathered together, discussing something in a low voice.

The archer looked gloomy, “The spring monster is besieging, and the player and the system guard are half dead.”

“It’s hot in summer, and it’s more than half of it to death.”

“It’s all like this, are you still reluctant to leave Baiyang Town?”

The teammate was silent, with a trace of struggle on his face.

The archer eased his sigh, and said, “Yes, Baiyang Town was once brilliant. At the beginning of the game, when the rankings first appeared, all the territory of S City ranked the second in prosperity, and Baiyang Town ranked second, second only to Lingyun Town.”

“But now, the situation is very different.”

“Look at how many residents are left in the territory! Look at what buildings are unlocked around! Can people still live in this place? Obviously declining.”

“Our team mage has ice skills, so we have the luck to survive the summer. But if we continue to stay in the town, whether the winter can survive the winter, it’s hard to say.”

“The weather in autumn is good, and monsters will not be chasing after players, so they are the most suitable for migration. Whether they want to leave or not, I don’t plan to wait any longer.”

When it comes to the end, the archer can’t help becoming irritable.

Just after the summer, he proposed to go to Lingyun Town.

The teammates first said that the stock of food was exhausted and it was not suitable for relocation, so food should be prepared first.

When the food is saved, and they say that the autumn harvest is rare, they’d better focus on hunting.

If you blindly hurry, you will lose energy and you will be easily contaminated with a negative state. If you don’t brush monsters, you can’t get excellent equipment. Without excellent equipment, you will be bullied even if you go to a new territory, right?

The migration has been delayed. Seeing that it will be winter before leaving, the archers can’t bear it. This gathers people and forces them to express their views.

If you want to go immediately, don’t make any excuses to delay time.

If you want to stay, please stay, but he won’t accompany him! Even if he leaves the team, he will leave Baiyang Town and go to Lingyun Town to discuss life!

“Things are not as simple as you think.” The soldier sighed, “How can I bring so many possessions?”

“The whole team has a total of 3 linen backpacks and 1 cotton backpack. After loading the food and equipment, there is no extra space for luggage.”

“Without a tent, where do we live? Without furniture, how will we live after migration? It is inconvenient to think about it.”

The archer laughed angrily, “Fate is almost gone, and you should be careful about the inconvenience of life in the future? If it is inconvenient to take away, then throw it away. As long as you can survive, what’s the bitterness and tiredness?”

After all, he sneered, “If you listen to me, move early, and arrive in the new territory so many days early, and prepare new furniture!”

“You can’t say that.” The pastor retorted, “The prosperity of Lingyun Town is bustling, but who knows how well the residents there will get along. In case of encountering a high-level team that exploits other players desperately and has super powerful force, there is really no place to cry. cry.”

“In the final analysis, the territories are too far apart to be inconvenient to contact. If you are close, you know exactly what Lingyun Town is like, but if you can make it a little bit, I don’t need to urge you, I will pack my luggage and move in immediately.”

“Isn’t this news jam, unfamiliar place, don’t you know anything?”

“Whether to live in a new territory or stay in Baiyang Town to work hard, we have to think about it.”

“It’s the 212th day. It’s been long enough.” The archer was expressionless, “Lingyun Town is indeed far away. If you don’t set off, you won’t be able to make it through before winter.”

“If you want to go, come with me. If you want to stay, everyone parted ways and went their separate ways.”

“It’s a matter of leaving or staying, one sentence, don’t go in circles with me.”

The teammates were silent.

I don’t know the way to go ahead, and there is no way to go behind me. It seems that no matter how I choose, it is a dead end.

After being quiet for a while, a female mage stood beside the archer and showed her attitude with practical actions.

After a while, the two assassins walked to the side of the archer and the female wizard. The others sat silently, without saying a word, and didn’t see any intention of getting up.

“Okay.” The archer nodded, “We are packing our bags and preparing to leave. Please do whatever you want.”

After all, hurry up and turn back to the tent.
