Doomsday is Online - Chapter 17
March 20, 2023Ai Hrist
Lu Jiu harvested a lot of various fruits this trip, enough for her to eat for a long time.
The highlight was the black pig BOSS. After killing it, she got pig fangs*2, tough pig skin *1, 1000KG black pork, 999m pig casings, 200 glory crystals, 30 glory dust, 15 Glory fragments, and 550 copper coins… …
This was a bumper harvest, but killing a BOSS to get more than 400 contribution points was a huge profit.
But the BOSS was not so easy to kill.
But what she couldn’t take her eyes off the most was the 1000 kg black pork, which was simply a mountain of meat. She and Shen Jufeng couldn’t finish it.
“We can go back and ask someone to make sausages. Black pigs grow up eating fruits, and the meat is tender and fragrant. I will save some fresh meat to eat at ordinary times, and make as many sausages as I can make with the rest.”
Shen Jufeng looked at the 500KG, and felt that Lu Jiu’s suggestion was good: “Let’s go together when the time comes, the sausage is also good.”
Lu Jiu gave him the pigskin as well, and the other rewards were 50/50.

Today, the dialogue channel exploded. Some players started to say that the black pig boss was killed. Dozens of players besieged it, but they all said that they did not kill it by themselves.
Most people in the channel thought they wanted to steal the rewards, so they didn’t admit it, and some thought it was stolen by someone lurking nearby to peek.
However, according to the description of the people who were at the scene at the time, there were only dozens of blood left at that time, so it would be difficult to steal.
For a while, who killed the black pig boss became an unsolved case.
Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng returned to the city-state. The place was so lively, and there were several hundred more residents than before.
The two of them returned to Xuantian City in the evening. Seeing people shouting from the commercial street, Lu Jiu went to the stall selling rabbit legs again.
After eating the rabbit meat, she felt that the old man who set up the stall was good at cooking, so she asked: “Old man, can you make sausages? I went out to the wild to get some pork and pig casings, I want to you to make me some sausages to eat.”
Old Man Zeng nodded quickly, “Yes, yes, this old man is not good at anything else, but he is good at cooking.”
“Okay, I will add you as a friend, and I will send you a mail to discuss the reward first, and then come to me after you finish setting up the stall.”
“Okay.” Old Man Zeng nodded with a smile. Someone was willing to pay him to make sausages. It was really like a pie falling into the sky.
The price given by Lu Jiu was 2 copper coins for filling one meter of sausage, a total of 999 meters was 1998 copper coins.
The mall has a machine for minced meat, and she mainly needs Old Man Zeng’s sausage stuffing recipe.
When Old Man Zeng saw the reward of 1998 copper coins, his heartbeat instantly, and he wanted to start working immediately.
Lu Jiu returned to her residence and started to grill the meat. As the introduction, the black pork was fresh and tender, with a light fruity aroma that melts in the mouth.
After dipping it with her favorite dipping sauce, Lu Jiu felt that eating it was the greatest respect for black pork.
“This meat is so delicious, I wish I could meet it again in the future.” This was Lu Jiu’s heartfelt expectation.
Shen Jufeng agreed with this: “It should be possible, we met the red-eyed rabbit and the iron wolf more than once.”
He was opening his mouth to talk, but the speed of his hand holding the chopsticks didn’t slow down while maintaining an elegant eating posture.
Lu Jiu felt that this guy was worthy of being a CEO, and he was quick and accurate in his attacks.
But she agrees with him, the type of wild monster must appear more than once, mainly because of the different grades.
Old Man Zeng was also kind and prepared several kinds of sausages, including champagne sausages, black pepper sausages, air-dried sausages, garlic sausages, sweet sausages, red sausages, spicy sausages, and grilled sausages.
There were so many kinds of sausages. Old Man Zeng and his grandson have been busy for several days. Regarding the source of such a large amount of meat, Old Man Zeng never asked, and Tang Yi was not allowed to talk too much.
In the end, there was some fresh meat left. Lu Jiu shared 50 catties with the grandpa and grandson, plus 2050 copper coins as a reward, which was mostly hard work.
These 2,050 copper coins were enough for him to pay his one-year loan fee of 1,200 copper coins in the Loan Hall. And there were extra coins.

Since the black pig BOSS in Yangshan City was killed, ordinary-level BOSS appeared in other cities one after another, with different types, some werewolves, some were lizards… …
Lu Jiu felt that it was not as good as their black pig, but at least the meat was delicious, and she didn’t get tired of eating it for a week.
After the map appeared, the people of Xuantian City found that some people with strange attitudes came here, and they sneakily promoted the good things of other city-states to the residents and persuaded them to live and develop there.
Some were persuaded to follow the team to other city-states, while others were unmoved. Many of them directly paid a one-month or even two-three-month rent here. These cannot be refunded, so why leave?
As the lord of the city, Lu Jiu also noticed the changes in the population of the city-states, but she was not worried. The time when the city-states were established across the country was not too far behind.
It takes time to test the quality of a city-state.
Besides, her city-state resources were enough to raise the city to level 4, but she doesn’t want to attract attention, making people realize that she was the player named Jiu Ci.
“You better think about it. If you go to Phantom City, the team will pay the rent for your first month. Everyone should form a team to farm wild resources together than fight alone.”
Zhuang Yun, who started his career, also received such an invitation, and next to him was the person who tirelessly talked about the Phantom City for ten minutes.
“No, I’m living well here and I don’t want to bother moving.”
He can’t deny that this person’s words were nice, but he has a natural liking for Xuantian City, and it’s been very peaceful here. He still has some understanding of other city-states, and many city-states have intrigues between teams.
Besides, to put it nicely, the rent was covered for the first month, but what about the following days?
He has a daughter, so he just wanted to live in peace.
“There are not many people who start a career in a city. Since there is a God-given ability, why not do a big job? Our team has just been established. Will we still be short of resources after making contributions?”
Short, very short.
Zhuang Yun felt that the way this person was eloquent and resembled the people working in the pyramid scheme.
“It’s not necessary, you can ask other people, I will have to work.” Zhuang Yun got up and left, he didn’t want to listen to this guy’s endless chatter.
“Hey, think about it again…”
Zhuang Yun put his words to the back of his mind. This person didn’t think about clearing the fields to earn money and resources all day long, instead, he came here to persuade him to move.
These people didn’t understand the nature of the game world at all. Instead, they started forming gangs to fight against each other when the situation get a little better.
This kind of person doesn’t know how he will die when danger suddenly comes.
In the city, people from outside the city will only persuade them once, because they haven’t started a career.
Old Man Zeng watched those people from outside the city, who were clinging to those who went out to fight monsters. Tang Yi only understood one thing at a young age, and that was that he didn’t want to move away.
“Grandpa, why did they persuade us to move?” Xuantian City was so good, he and grandpa still earned a lot of copper coins here, and directly paid the rental fee for one year.
“These are shallow-sighted people. My dear grandson, you have to take it as a warning, such people will not have good results in the face of adversity.”
Tang Yi nodded obediently. Anyway, he felt that those uncles and aunts were not good, and they always looked down on others.
