Apocalypse Lord - Chapter 72

In this world, there are always some people who are quick-thinking and take the lead everywhere. There are always people who are slow to react and fall behind.

After the spring, Shao Hua focused on saving money to replace the practical blue outfit, but did not think too much.

However, one day, he suddenly discovered that the price of food has generally risen by 50%-70%, and some dishes that he wants to eat are out of stock.

“What’s the matter?” Shao Hua was secretly surprised, “Is the game world going to be a food shortage?”

Without high-level equipment, low-level improvised can also be used. But if there is not enough food, the player has no other possibility besides starving to death.

Thinking of this, Shao Hua’s heartbeat speeded up suddenly, and he rushed to the restaurant without saying a word.

The products in the system store are notoriously easy to use but expensive. Under normal circumstances, there is always surplus left. But today, the system shelves are empty and extremely clean.

Upon seeing this, Shao Hua’s heart sank to the bottom.

How to do?

In an instant, my mind was blank, and I couldn’t remember anything.

At this time, Chef A walked out of the back kitchen and placed three multi-grain steamed buns and two bowls of porridge on the shelf.

Shao Hua was surprised and happy, and quickly bought it.

So in the blink of an eye, the shelves were empty again.

“A bowl of 50 copper coins for multigrain steamed buns and a bowl of 50 copper coins for white porridge. It doesn’t matter if you buy it once every day. How many days can you keep your savings?” Shao Hua was only happy for a while, and his expression became serious.” What can I do in the future?”

After thinking about it, another resident approached quickly.

Seeing that the shelves were empty, they were disappointed, “How come the food in the restaurant is gone? Will food be rarer and more precious than equipment in the future?”

Shao Hua, “…”

He suddenly realized that he was thinking too much. Even if he has enough copper coins and is willing to buy food in restaurants at high prices, he may not be able to buy them.

**

On the 258th day, the situation got worse.

There are no players who will set up a stall to sell, and the cooked food is privately circulated among acquaintances.

Before going out and after hunting, residents seized the opportunity to run to the restaurant, and then sat in the lobby and waited. The NPC’s front feet just put the food on the shelf, and the players’ back feet swarmed, looting like crazy.

At this time, it is really fast and slow. Whether you can buy it depends on the speed of movement and the speed of reaction.

Because of this, later, waiting in restaurants are often assassins, archers, and other professions with significantly higher agility.

Others, such as warriors and mages, have given up fighting and are thinking of other ways.

In the warehouse, Yunling is taking inventory.

This is a newly added habit after the Spring Festival, just to keep track of the specific amount of strategic materials.

On the premise of ensuring that the inventory grows slowly, she occasionally increases the food supply of the restaurant as appropriate. If you have bad luck on the day and don’t get much, then don’t increase it.

The situation is temporarily stabilized after one come and two.

At the end of the inventory, Yunling showed satisfaction, “I have stocked a lot of materials and finished products, which are enough to support a long period of time.”

While talking, the news jumped out.

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Brother, I want to tell you two things. 】

Yunling replied casually, “You said.”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: The first thing is that there is a lunatic in the territory who wants to move to Lingyun City. It is said that the First Territory is the safest, but other safe areas cannot be trusted. 】

Yunling, “…”

Yun Ling: “If you remember correctly, there are two cities between City F and City S?”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: That’s why he is said to be a lunatic. 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: The game will become harder and harder, is it easy and safe to go to Lingyun City on foot? 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: But that’s not what I have to say. He packed up his luggage and set off. Only after reaching the border of City F did he discover that the system would not allow players to leave the city. 】

Yunling feels like he is listening to the story, everything is very mysterious, “Why would you know?”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: I went back to Xintong Town if I couldn’t go to Lingyun City, and cried when I saw people, saying that he was pitted by the system. 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: It is also the first time I heard that players can only stay in this city and cannot visit. 】

“Maybe the system was set up like this on purpose?” Yunling guessed.

Then she asked, “What about the second thing?”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Does Lingyun City lack food? How much Xintong Town can sell to you. 】

Yun Ling laughed, “I don’t know what will happen in the future. There are extra rations, so I don’t put them in the warehouse?”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Xintong Town is different from Lingyun City. There are few residents, the food consumed every day is limited, and the pressure is not that great. 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: In fact, Xintong Town is Xintong Town because the population is not up to standard…]

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: The most important thing is that people know the big guy to hold the thigh, I am different! The reason for my confession with the gangster is to raise the gangster one day! 】

Yun Ling’s eyes were full of smiles, “The ambition is commendable.”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Just say it! Give me a chance! 】

She is not polite because of her hospitality.

Yun Ling said straightforwardly, “You dare to give, I dare to ask.”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: There are sea areas near Xintong Town, and a lot of seafood can be salvaged every day. It’s a rare meal, and it’s good to improve the meal. The residents can hardly bear it every day. 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Wait a minute, I will make a list, and I will give you all the extra seafood. 】

You can choose only when you have enough food and clothing. When there is no food to eat, everything tastes good.

Yunling deeply understands this truth, so how much Zhao Xintong gives and how much she receives, “How to check out? Copper coin transactions are settled by bandages and equipment?”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Copper coins. 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: I need money to upgrade the territory building. 】

Yunling simply responded, “Okay.”

The transaction was concluded, Lingyun City’s food shortage dilemma was eased, Xintong Town speeded up construction, and both parties benefited.

【Name: Sweet Potato Seeds】

Quality: Normal

Use effect: A piece of sweet potato will be harvested after sowing. The specific harvest depends on the land conditions and growth conditions.

【Name: Potato Seed】

Quality: Normal

Use effect: A piece of potato will be harvested after sowing. The specific harvest depends on the land conditions and growth conditions.

【Name: Rice Seed】

Quality: Normal

Use effect: A piece of rice will be harvested after sowing. The specific harvest depends on the land conditions and growth conditions.

In addition, there are seven or eight other crop seeds such as linen, cotton, and sorghum.

Feng Hui chose two and put them away carefully. Then he put on his gear and went out with a half-old linen backpack on his back.

Walking in the wild, from time to time players pass by her. Most of them are teams, a few are solo players, and only occasionally meet one.

Feng Hui walked in a hurry, pointed clearly, and almost had an afterimage when running.

“Fortunately, 2 agility, 1 physical strength.” She secretly rejoiced, “The combat ability is not strong, but I can run away, I can definitely be among the first-class level!”

This run is thirty minutes. Feng Hui finally stopped when she caught sight of the familiar scenery.

It was a field of wheat, with golden wheat ears drooping, waiting for the player to harvest.

Feng Hui checked closely and found that, except for a few nearby plants that had been eaten by wild animals, the other crops were fine.

She was full of joy, “It looks like luck today.”

He took out the machete, bowed his head and reaped.

In the perception of ordinary players, the wild resources are system refreshes, but this is not the case.

By chance, Feng Hui accidentally dropped the seeds in the mud pit.

She wanted to pick it up, but she was cleverly flashed, but after a few thoughts flashed in her mind, she didn’t act. Instead, cover the soil, water it moderately, and watch the changes.

Days passed day by day.

The seed germinates, grows quickly, and produces a piece of potato, which is no different from other crops in the wild. Only then did Feng Hui understand the correct usage of the seed.

From then on, she sowed the seeds in remote corners, let the crops grow freely, and waited until time to harvest.

Because there is no one to take care of them, the growth of the crops can only be considered average. When there is more, it produces 28 and 29, and when it is less, it produces 21 and 22.

However, Feng Hui is very satisfied. These gains are enough for her to eat and wear warmth and live a comfortable life.

During the planting process, accidents often happen.

Sometimes the crops will be ruined by wild beasts, uprooted and nothing is left; sometimes the crops will be harvested in advance by passing players.

On several occasions, she was even unlucky enough to be targeted. Other players seemed to realize that the chances of “refreshing” crops in certain areas were particularly high, so they ran around and guarded.

For this reason, Feng Hui had to change the planting place frequently and ran farther and farther.

Cut off the last ear of wheat and put it in the backpack. She looked at the direction and ran to the next planting site after a short rest.

It’s a pity that this time I wasn’t very lucky. I was supposed to get a large slice of sweet potatoes, but now I haven’t seen anything. The surroundings are messy, as if they have been ravaged by beasts.

“Next time there is no harvest, you have to consider changing the place for sowing.” Feng Hui muttered, taking out the sweet potato seeds and digging up the soil to plant them.

The so-called sweet potato seeds are actually sweet potato seedlings. Dig a pit, pour some water, and it will take care of the rest-planting in the game is as simple as that.

Feng Hui opened the panel and saw that she had been contaminated with a negative state because of her “excessive fatigue”. She couldn’t help but smile. “It seems that I can only return to the territory first. After I have a good rest, I will go to another location to harvest.”

“In any case, sowing is better than wandering aimlessly and searching for resources. What kind of seed is buried in, what material will be harvested in the future. The matter is simple and straightforward.”

“In addition, the income is relatively stable. Although there are unexpected situations from time to time, as the planting locations increase, 40-50 units of resources can be harvested every day, which is enough for living expenses.”

“On the way back and on the way to the planting site, I occasionally find useful crops, but they can also be collected easily, and they will be used as additional income.”

After the calculations were clear, she was determined, and ran back to her territory.

**

The 259th.

The panic is even worse. Some players set up stalls to sell top-quality props, but they don’t even need copper coins, equipment, and only exchange for food.

for example–

“Skill upgrade card! C-level becomes B-level, B-level becomes A-level, and A-level becomes S-level after use!”

“Are you still worrying about learning low-level skills in the early stages of the game? Are you still worrying about how to improve your combat effectiveness? With skill upgrade cards, you will start the road to the super power!”

“Super rare card, only BOSS drops, now it can be exchanged with food, all passing by will come and take a look!”

Someone leaned forward, “What if it was originally S-level? After using the card, will it become SS-level?”

The stall owner replied, “S-level is at full level, and skill upgrade cards cannot be used.”

Someone asked, “Upgrade one skill, or all skills?”

Vendor: “Of course it is one.”

One person curled his lips, “It takes three cards to upgrade from C-level to S-level, which is too extravagant!”

Vendor: “Starting from C-level can only prove that your foundation is too bad. You can’t blame the cards for not working well.”

There are a lot of players inquiring, very few quotes, and even fewer reliable ones.

The stall owner was depressed and broke. He believes that the price is not high, who knows that he can’t wait for someone who is predestined.

He couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that the situation is so bad? No one cares about S-level items (skill upgrade cards). Can’t exchange rations?

The stall owner was suspicious of his life, and Yun Ling stopped in front of the stall and said, “Tell me a suitable price, and I want the card.”

No matter how good the card is, it cannot be eaten as a meal.

The stall owner lowered his psychological expectations and quoted a conscience price.

Yunling thought it was acceptable, so he agreed.

The deal is concluded.

The stall owner breathed a sigh of relief-for the next seven days, there is no need to worry that the whole family will starve to death.
