[Side mission·Flower seeds: The little girl Ling once saw an extremely beautiful flower in the east of the dark night forest. She really wanted to get the seeds of this flower, but her mother Milly didn't want her to go to those strange places. , please help her collect flower seeds. 】
[Task reward: 500 experience points, "flower potted plant" production function, specific flower species x 5 bags. 】
Lu Xi looked at the "Good Luck" Buff that had not expired. He was not sure whether triggering a side mission so easily was the effect of good luck, or was it a fixed procedure?
But her choice to give the bouquet to Ling was just a matter of course. If she gave the bouquet to someone else, would this side quest still be triggered? Or maybe this mission will only be triggered when she gives Ling a bouquet?
Lu Xi smiled at the little girl Lingyou, "Okay, leave this matter to me."
Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zuo still cling to Lu Xi tightly. When she is at home, they will separate one of them to grow vegetables so that it does not affect their work. After all, she can see Lu Xi whenever she looks up.
But when Lu Xi left home and was about to visit the remaining resident NPCs, neither Xiao Yuan nor Zhuo Zhuo wanted to stay at home and insisted on following Lu Xi.
Lu Xi did not force one of them to leave one of them to work for him, and just walked around the farm with the two cubs.
A magical thing happened. After Lu Xi walked around the farm, he found that he could not find the remaining resident NPCs.
Obviously, I followed the system map to the homes of these resident NPCs, but I didn't see any of them. However, the map clearly showed that these resident NPCs were at home.
In view of the intelligence displayed by these resident NPCs, Lu Xi gave up breaking into private houses, which is the most proficient thing for players.
She didn't want to be suddenly asked "Miss Lucy, what did you want to do when you entered my home" when interacting with these resident NPCs? This was too embarrassing.
But after walking around several places and failing to meet any of the resident NPCs, Lu Xi suddenly came to her senses. This might be because she hadn't triggered the key plot yet.
Some resident NPCs will only appear after certain plots. Lu Xi has never been able to find those resident NPCs shown on the map, probably for this reason.
However, Lu Xi had no clue about the so-called "key plot", let alone what he should do.
Looking at his long list of side tasks, Lu Xi really hates this game system. Some side tasks can be completed in one go, while others require completing other side tasks.
There are also side tasks. As you go through them, a bunch of new side tasks will pop up, and you still have to complete them.
"Side mission: Visiting the Farm Residents" cannot be completed in a short time. Lu Xi has been busy doing this mission for several days in a row. Suddenly he stops doing this mission. He feels out of breath and suffocated. feel.
Lu Xi checked the side task list and found that one side task had been completed, but she didn't notice it. The way she was yesterday, she couldn't pay attention to whether the side task was completed or not.
The completed task is "Side Mission: Raising Monsters", because all three monsters need to be harvested to be considered complete, and the longest production time takes 1 day, so it was not until yesterday afternoon that all three monsters were fully harvested. All output.
Well, it was Xiao Yuan who went to harvest the monsters, not Lu Xi, so the side task was not directly displayed as completed, and Lu Xi needed to click to confirm it again.
As for why it was Xiao Yuan... because it went to collect eggs and ate them. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes that I made last night were the eggs Xiao Yuan collected.
By the way, all the output in the monster breeding shed was collected. The actions of the demon pet were naturally blamed on Lu Xi.
[System notification: Congratulations to the player for completing the "Side Mission: Raising Monsters" and receiving the mission reward of "1000 experience points, advanced hunting tools x 1, and advanced traps x 3". 】
[System prompt: The player level has been upgraded to level 8. 】
Lu Xi looked at the system upgrade prompts and suddenly realized that experience points seemed to be given only by completing tasks, such as planting and cooking. No matter how many times you did things like planting and cooking, you would not be upgraded.
This also forces players to spend more energy to complete various tasks and perform multiple useless repetitive tasks.
But considering the nature of the game, it's normal. How can it be called a "leisure farm" if you don't care about it? ! Tactical fallback.
Level rewards usually give items related to the current level, so Lu Xi received them immediately.
Level 8 "costume design drawings × 3, special clothing material package × 3".
This direction is a bit obvious, but the corresponding side missions and plots have not yet popped up, and Lu Xi does not dare to use it casually. If it is used in the wrong place, it will be difficult to collect the materials again.
Although there is no way to visit the remaining resident NPCs, Lu Xi still has a lot to do and cannot be idle.
For example, go home and plant vegetables, go to the dark night forest and underground mines to collect materials, repair your own items, or complete side tasks for the little girl Ling.
Lu Xi decided to merge the latter two together and complete the side mission while going to the Dark Night Forest to collect materials.
As she said, Lu Xi went back home. She decided to spend the whole day in the dark forest, collecting more materials. When she came back in the evening, she naturally had to arrange everything at home first.
Harvest the farmland that needs to be harvested, plant the vegetables that need to be planted, and put all the meals that have been cooked in the kitchen that can increase physical strength into the system backpack to prepare for emergencies.
These dishes produced by the system all have the effect of increasing physical strength, but they also have a strong sense of satiety and are difficult to eat continuously. After all, Lu Xi's upper limit of physical strength is 100 points, which can be filled up by eating at most two dishes. .
However, when Lu Xi's physical strength dropped to a certain value, her appetite was "unlocked" and she could continue to eat food, so that Lu Xi did not have to worry about running out of physical strength and being unable to eat.
However, although physical strength can be replenished, energy is not so convenient. There is only one item in Lu Xi's backpack that can restore and increase energy, and she doesn't want to use it at this time.
The main reason is that there is not much need. Lu Xi doesn't want to use it hastily until he finds other items that can replenish energy, just in case it becomes useful.
In addition, Lu Xi also wanted to try Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo's authority in the dark night forest.
On their own farm, Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo could use Lu Xi's tools to plant and harvest, but could they use an "axe" to chop down trees in the dark night forest? Can I use a "mining pick" to mine in underground mines?
The dark thoughts of a black-hearted capitalist flashed through Lu Xi's mind.
Of course she couldn't bear to exploit Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo so much... But if they just helped with the work appropriately, Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo wouldn't refuse, right?
At the same time, Lu Xi also fully armed himself and wore the title of "Novice Farmer" which can increase crop harvest by 1% - mining and tree felling are also included in this harvest bonus.
Although mosquito meat is small, it is still meat. Who said that a 1% bonus is not a bonus?
Then put on cotton gloves that can reduce a certain amount of physical exertion, and eat a dish of cabbage and meat rolls to increase your physical strength and increase your own strength for one hour.
Armed with a "field stove" tool that could be used to cook in the dark night forest, Lu Xi entered the dark night forest aggressively.
"Come on, chop me down!" Lu Xi waved his hand quite domineeringly, like a big sister leading someone to destroy the place.
Behind them, Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo each held an ax in their teeth, making whining sounds from their mouths, and ran towards various trees with word marks in coordination, like two huskies loosened from their ropes.
Fortunately, tools such as axes are not limited to holding one, so Lu Xi can give them to Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo to help with work.
As for Lu Xi herself, she opened those low-level tool kits and chose a low-level ax to use. Compared with ordinary axes, low-level axes... no, it should be said that all low-level tools have durability and can only be used for a period of time. Time is a disposable item.
But compared to ordinary tools that cannot be damaged, low-level tools consume less physical energy, which is a great advantage.
The consumption of energy value is linked to the consumption of physical value. When a job does not consume much physical value, it will also consume very little energy value.
For a long time, the existence of energy value seems not to be very high, but its importance is not low.
For example, if Lu Xi is chopping down trees now, due to the bonus of low-level tools, she will only consume 1 energy point and 2 stamina points when chopping two trees.
But after her energy value drops to 0, if she cuts down a tree, each tree will consume five or six points of her energy value.
Here, Lu Xi noticed something different from the game on Earth.
In the original casual farm game, every time the player takes an action with the character, the stamina will be consumed once, and things that require multiple actions will naturally consume stamina multiple times.
For example, when cutting down a tree, you definitely cannot cut it off in one go. You have to hit it with an ax several times in a row before the tree is "cut down."
But after it became a reality, the operation performed by Lu Xi was not so rigorous in deducting physical strength. Instead, it was judged based on Lu Xi's actions. For example, after she completed cutting down a tree, the system would clearly deduct one physical value. , rather than counting her single action.
In addition, Lu Xi's physical and energy values will also be deducted from actions such as walking, but it will not be particularly obvious, showing a slow decline.
In the original game, of course, the character walking would not consume any physical strength.
Although he was bound to the game system and became a being who didn't know whether he should be called a "player", Lu Xi still had some human characteristics.
This also made Lu Xi feel more like a human being, rather than an NPC or player in the game.
Just as Lu Xi thought, Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo could also collect various materials in the dark forest as long as they carried tools.
And it also consumes physical strength and energy.
Although Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo did not display physical and energy data on the system panel, they could feel the changes in their bodies.
Although Zhuo Zhuo is several months younger than Xiao Yuan and is only a one-month-old baby dragon, his intelligence and mental strength are higher than Xiao Yuan's.
This is reflected in the fact that Xiao Yuan can only express certain words clearly with Lu Xi through the magic pet contract, while Zhuo Zhuo can already express complete sentences.
Dragons are creatures that can easily learn human language.
"Something is being sucked out of the body" - this is what Zhuo Zhuo told Lu Xi, using the magic pet contract. It is still young and many of its organs have not yet been fully developed, so it is not yet able to "speak human words" .
Xiao Yuan also expressed a similar meaning.
Although the behavior of planting and harvesting vegetables will not directly consume their physical strength and energy, it will draw on their physical strength and energy in another way.
Of course, Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo are not Lu Xi. Their physical and energy values are fixed at 100 points, and they will be completely consumed by doing anything.
As monsters, the energy and physical strength of both of them are extremely exaggerated. According to Zhuo Zhuo, it only consumed 1% of its physical strength by growing vegetables for a day yesterday.
Xiao Yuan consumed a little more, but it was less than half, maybe a third at most.
It may also be related to the small number of seeds Lu Xi has unlocked so far. Such few seeds are indeed not enough for Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo to use, and the number of farmlands is not enough. Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo have not fully utilized their strengths.
Lu Xi couldn't help but think of the more than 80% of the vacant land in his house that had not been taken care of. Those were good places that could be reclaimed and turned into farmland. He should clear those places when he returns tomorrow.
Seeing that the materials in the system backpack were gradually filling up, Lu Xi stretched her waist with satisfaction... Even though she seemed to be paddling the whole time, it was really hard on herself.
The materials in the dark night forest are not only several types of wood and bluestone, but also some wild fruits and wild grasses that can be collected.
There are two types of wild fruits: golden fruits and lantern cones. They can be eaten directly or used for cooking. However, the value of the dishes is not high, so Lu Xi did not collect too much.
Golden fruits are shaped like golden apples, but are only as big as grapes. 20 golden fruits can make a cup of "golden water". A plate is only worth 100 copper coins, and can add 30 stamina. It is not as good as fried French fries.
The lantern cones are similar. They are shaped like small lanterns the size of a baby's fist. They are bright red. 10 of them can make a plate of "Auspicious Snow Red Balls". They are also worth 100 copper coins and add 30 stamina. The name sounds good, but in fact Just sprinkled with sugar on top.
Wild grass is not edible and is one of the materials used to make clothing after being collected. There are three types of wild grass, moon grass and hemp grass. Lu Xi has not unlocked any clothing designs yet and cannot make any clothes, so he is not in a hurry. collection.
He cut down trees as he walked. Because of Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo, two plug-ins that automatically cut trees, Lu Xi quickly reached the place where the little girl Ling was talking about.
The east side of the night forest.
But after walking around, Lu Xi didn't see the flowers that matched what the little girl Ling said.
Rather, there is no such thing as flowers in the dark night forest!
But Lu Xi believed that there must be a way to complete the side tasks given by the system, so she was not discouraged and asked Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo to continue cutting down trees and collecting materials while she studied the surrounding environment carefully.
Soon, Lu Xi found an extremely long and narrow passage behind a bush that looked very hidden, and he didn't know where it led.
A new system notification also popped up.
I stayed up all night yesterday and had a headache.
I won’t dare to stay up late next time.
