Inside the mine.
"That's it, you just hold this pickaxe and give it a tap."
Anxi held an ordinary-looking pickaxe in her hand and struck the giant stone mine in front of her.
"boom--!"
The huge stone mine collapsed in front of me,
[Obtain stone*15]
"Here." An Qian handed the pickaxe in her hand to Chu Qingyan, "Last time I was reported because I changed the equipment to make it too conspicuous. This time I'm keeping a low profile."
"…low profile?"
Chu Qingyan looked at the giant stone mine that was broken into pieces by a small pickaxe. What kind of low-key is this?
An Qian didn't understand the meaning in Chu Qingyan's eyes, so she comforted him and said, "It's hard for you to knock on it."
"..."
Chu Qingyan raised his hand and tapped another boulder with a pickaxe, but he hadn't used any force yet.
[Obtain stone*18]
"Then I'll leave it to you. I don't trust it if it's in the hands of others." An Qian saw that Qingyan was using it smoothly and gave him the task of digging stone.
Chu Qingyan nodded helplessly and began to knock on the stone mine in front of him.
"By the way, about the Spring Beast Tide..." Anxi wanted to continue talking about some thoughts about the game.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
A scream interrupted her.
An Qian and Chu Qingyan looked back and saw that Zheng Jia was running towards them. His face was bruised and purple, and he anxiously asked An Qian for help: "Help me! Help me!! He is crazy!!"
Zheng Jia pointed behind him, and Wu Zheng chased after him with a sharp sword, full of anger.
He stared at Zheng Jia closely, as if he would not be able to relieve the hatred in his heart unless he killed Zheng Jia.
"Hurry up and save me!" Zheng Jia quickly ran behind An Qian.
Zheng Jia's scream made Wu notice An Qian's existence.
"Ah...baby, you are here."
Wu's originally angry expression immediately softened. He threw the sharp sword to the side and pretended to be scared and said: "I just encountered a strange beast. It was so scary. Fortunately, I picked up a sword and escaped. Come out."
Anxi didn't believe this lame excuse.
Except during the beast tide, it is rare for strange beasts to break into the territory.
Unless the two of them ran outside the territory, the territory had expanded to a large area, occupying one third of the quarry area.
But An Qian didn't bother to expose it. She guessed that Zheng Jia said something that made Wu angry and chased him all the way.
Wu's temper can't be said to be good. He has always been pampered and everyone around him follows him, but Zheng Jia has the kind of character that speaks without thinking. There will definitely be friction when they meet.
"We didn't encounter any strange beasts!" Zheng Jia retorted, "It was him... uh... it was us who met the strange beasts..."
Wu glared at Zheng Jia, who turned around and acknowledged that they had just encountered a strange beast.
"Okay, okay." Anxi stood between them and stopped the farce, "There is still business... Ah Jiu! Ah Jiu!"
Halfway through her words, Anxi suddenly sneezed twice.
She rubbed her nose and smelled a faint floral fragrance, and then yellow powder floated in the air.
"It's pollen." Anxi reacted immediately.
Based on Anxi's experience of playing games in the past two weeks, she can quickly conclude that this is a seasonal anomaly unique to each season.
The game cannot simply allow players to build their own territory. It must set up some difficulties to increase playability and difficulty.
There are more and more yellow pollen, and the floral fragrance in the air is getting stronger and stronger. Clusters of small flowers emerge from the gaps between the stones. The petals are all fluorescent yellow and fluorescent red, and they are so bright that they are dazzling.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Pollen followed the airflow and entered Zheng Jia's nasal cavity. He sneezed several times in succession, covering his head and wondering: "Why do I feel a little dizzy?"
"You can't inhale too much of this pollen."
An Qian took some water*1 from her backpack and wet her cloak, then tore it off with a knife and distributed it to Zheng Jia, Chu Qingyan and Wu.
"Go back to the people first and take a look."
After Anxi finished speaking, she ran towards the living area where the neighbors gathered first. The other three followed her and ran towards the living area.
In the living area.
"Ah! My head hurts so much..."
"Ah! Someone fainted! What happened!"
"So much pollen...cough cough cough! Ah! I feel so uncomfortable..."
The residents in the living area were already in chaos.
Anxi checked the personal information of the subjects, and there was an additional message on their dashboards [In a state of mild poisoning: health continues to decrease]
This pollen is indeed not simple.
Anxi quickly ran to the manufacturing workshop, unlocked the [Dust Mask] and made more than a hundred of them in succession, and distributed them to every citizen.
After residents wear masks, the symptoms caused by pollen are greatly reduced.
However, masks have an expiration date and must be replaced after four days and nights.
It has been 13 hours since Anxi entered the game. One hour in the game is about four days and nights, which means that 52 days have passed since the game started.
If there are 90 days in a quarter, there are 38 days left in spring.
If the pollen persists until the end of spring, she'll need 10 more masks, rounding up.
Making masks requires a large amount of weeds. Four weeds are combined into one piece of cloth to make a mask.
There are now a total of 105 residents in the territory. Making a mask for one neighbor consumes more than 400 weeds at a time.
"Ten times is 4,000 weeds. Although it can be tolerated, it consumes too much."
Anxi regretted that she had expanded her territory too quickly and had too many neighbors. Especially in the stone mining area, there were very few wild grass resources. She didn't know how long it would take to find a small piece of grass.
However, there are advantages to having too many people.
Anxi redistributed the tasks of the neighbors, no longer letting them go out to hunt exotic beasts, but instead all going to collect resources.
"Twenty-five people went to pick weeds, 20 people went to cut down trees, 15 people went on to plant wheat to ensure food, and 45 people went to mine."
After the allocation is completed.
Neighbors began to spontaneously look for places to work.
However, this game is as realistic as it gets. Each neighbor has a different personality. Some are hardworking and serious, while others are naturally trying to be lazy.
"Chu Qingyan is in charge of the mining area, Zheng Jia, you are in charge of cutting down the trees, and I am in charge of the rest."
Anxi also assigned supervision tasks.
"Yeah." Chu Qingyan agreed and turned back to the mining area without saying a word.
"Why are you asking me to chop down trees again? I'm going to vomit!"
Zheng Jia had some objections, but An Qian violently suppressed them.
Anxi plans to save enough resources to build a defense tower before the beast tide comes at the end of spring.
She wanted to achieve a state where she could defeat the beasts while lying at home without having to worry about anything.
"Baby, what should I do?"
Wu tugged on Anxi's half-remaining cloak and looked at Anxi expectantly.
He found that Anxi had sent away Ice Cube Face and the silly goose, leaving him alone.
Could it be that his recent seduction was successful? Does Anxi want to create a world for two of them?
"Oh yes, I almost forgot about you."
An Qian heard Wu's voice and looked back at him.
After pondering for a moment, he said under Wu Liang's shining gaze: "Why don't you go farm? You are strong, one can hold up to two."
"……good."
