Life in the new settlement was peaceful. Haifengqiu arranged for the team to explore and hunt in the periphery according to the original rules. Yue Dongting brought some daily necessities to visit Village Chief Wu and Director Hu, and proposed to trade meat for grain and seeds. The two leaders happily agreed.
The new team hunts in dangerous places that their superpowers dare not go or have never been to before. Although several student union cadres in charge of managing the team of superpowers were very dissatisfied with these new boys, even Liu Ke, the captain of the superpower team whose superpowers were close to level five, had to admit that he was not the one who would be in trouble if he fought alone. A handsome, long-legged opponent who comes to their settlement whenever he has nothing to do.
Cadres of the student union have talked about this group of people more than once, believing that they will violently appropriate the fruits of labor of villagers and students. This group of people actually proposed a transaction and planned to hunt and farm at the same time. The jaws of the student union officials dropped in shock. According to reports from Liu Ke’s roommate, Liu Ke has been talking in his sleep these days and shouting: Those birdmen are so powerful that they don’t come to grab food and women. It’s unscientific.
The bird people are very restrained, rarely open the cave door, and basically do not communicate with the indigenous people. The team sent out to hunt even avoided the villagers' hunting grounds. Occasionally, when the two sides met in the wild, the birdmen, who were extremely powerful, took the initiative to avoid them and did not deal with the war scum at all.
Except for Yue Dongting who went to the villagers' settlement to trade every other day, and occasionally Haifengqiu chatted with the two leaders, most people did not communicate with the villagers. The cadres of the student union were very depressed, and they looked at Torito Yue with particularly sad eyes. Yue Dongting was so frightened by what they saw that he and Bai Zhi had a serious discussion in private about refusing to pick up soap and avoiding throwing it away.
Bai Zhi laughed so hard that she asked him: "What is their male to female ratio?"
"It's close to 1 to 1. These little guys are so lucky. As long as they don't seek death, everyone can have a wife." Yue Dongting said, feeling goosebumps from being stared at just now, "They looked at me as if I didn't throw soap." It seems like a heinous crime."
"Probably not. I always thought that gays in the game were all about being cute and picking up girls. I guess they want to collude with you, but there is no chance." Bai Zhi smiled, "Are you really sure you don't want to deal with them?"
"Sooner or later we are going to run away. Our relationship is so good. When people from Kunlun Ruins come and ask about the situation one by one, will they tell you?" Yue Dongting shook his head again and again, "Why bother leaving loopholes for others?"
It was a rare day that all four of us were free and did not go out. Zhang Tianzhao called everyone to Bai Zhi's residence for a small meeting.
There may be meteorites here and it is not appropriate to discuss them openly in the team. This thing is too tempting. Except for a few of them who have gold-fingered backpacks to safely store the meteorites, there is no way for others to safely possess it.
Meteorites will attract monsters when taken out. People of the same kind know that there are such good things but cannot own them. However, a few of them can carry them with them, which is not conducive to their equal relationship with their kind. In the future, after everyone goes their separate ways, their positions and interests will be different, and meteorites' golden fingers will also prevent them from forming friendly alliances with their peers.
They can take out the extract and share it, but they must not let the sixth person know about the meteorite.
"I can sense something down here." Haifengqiu looked at Bai Zhi, who was sitting alone in the groove beside the bedroom door, "Daizhi should be the most sensitive, do you feel it?"
"I didn't do it this time." Bai Zhi shook her head, "I saw the mutations in these plants and guessed there were meteorites here."
"My feeling is very strong. The things below are good for me, very good." Haifengqiu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"It makes people want it desperately, doesn't it?" Zhang Tianzhao echoed him, "My first experience was similar to yours now."
"There is movement outside." Yue Dongting bounced towards the entrance of the cave. Water splashed in all directions, and the sound of rushing water came one after another. "Two big fish, whose strength is close to that of the small boss, are swimming and fighting. Oops, they can actually attack with supernatural powers. , that one died, and its white belly turned out. It ate it." He showed off his crossbow, "It ran so fast, I'll go fishing and have extra food tonight." He jumped out to chase the little BOSS.
With Yue Dongting's ability, he can take on a group of small bosses alone without any problem, and no one will worry about him. Bai Zhi is already considering whether to cook pickled fish or boiled fish.
Lin Yunlai continued the interrupted conversation. He said: "I also felt it last time in the valley. Just like Bai Zhi said, the stuff was fragrant and very appetizing. I didn't feel anything this time."
"I'm also very greedy this time." Zhang Tianzhao smiled bitterly, "Bai Zhi obviously blocked me a few days ago, but I still think about getting the following thing every day these days. Bai Zhi clearly wanted to get that thing last time, but she was able to restrain it. She can take care of herself. But I can’t do it this time. Is there something wrong?”
"It was a pity last time." Hai Fengqiu sighed, "Actually, there is something wrong with this place. Since it attracts us here, it makes no sense that there are only a few small fish in the pool below. How many mutant animals did we avoid when we came here? Here is With nearly a thousand people surviving, there should be a lot of mutant animals that come here by smell. There are not even slightly powerful mutant animals in the dozens of square kilometers near their cave. It’s so strange.”
"There's something wrong with the things down here. Are the high-level mutated animals afraid to come?" After Bai Zhi said this, she felt something was wrong.
Hai Fengqiu and Zhang Tianzhao raised their eyebrows at the same time. When they walked to the small pool, they felt that they would be attracted. Did Bai Zhi mean that they were relatively inferior?
Lin Yunlai smiled happily and said, "Disciple, you have revealed the truth."
"Didn't a little BOSS appear below just now? What do you think when Yue Dongting comes back?" Zhang Tianzhao decided to ignore Lin Yunlai. He closed his eyes to feel the attraction of the things below.
Hai Fengqiu didn't say anything. He was also deeply experiencing the attraction coming from underground.
Lin Yunlai slid down bored and changed from sitting to reclining. He sighed comfortably, pointed to the empty tea cup in his hand, and motioned to his disciple to pour him tea.
The teapot was clearly on the table, but Bai Zhi pretended it was invisible and took out "Bamboo Forest Management and Disease Prevention" to read.
Ever since a meteorite was buried in the bamboo forest, the bamboos have grown terribly and are too dense. Bai Zhi read a lot of information and knew how useful bamboo was. She doesn't mind if they grow too much, because she knows the importance of bamboo to District 1, but she is afraid that she won't be able to raise it. Her energy these days is focused on these bamboos.
Zhang Tianzhao, who had been squinting for a long time, finally opened his eyes. He took a deep breath and exhaled it, as if he wanted to spit out all the influence of the thing below. He moved to look at the book in Bai Zhi's hand and asked softly: " Is there something wrong with the bamboo forest?”
"It's grown so well. It takes up almost one-tenth of the area." Bai Zhi answered him softly: "I cut off some of them every day, but they grow faster."
"Did you bury the meteorite? It grew too fast and you dug out the meteorite." Hai Fengqiu opened his eyes and frowned slightly. It is true that the meteorite extract is good for people, but the whole meteorite may be harmful to her.
"I dug it out, but the mutated variety itself is very capable of growing." Bai Zhi bit her lip in displeasure, "The peach tree grew taller, but the peaches it produced became smaller. It's completely irregular and unscientific."
"There is no science anymore." Zhang Tianzhao chuckled. Bai Zhi is still very cautious in doing things. She looks quite good now and looks very good. The meteorite should have a positive impact on her. "Give me some bamboo. I will test the quality and Performance. Different qualities have different uses. Try controlling the evolution of bamboo and see if you can artificially cultivate different varieties."
"I'm doing it. I've also spread the word to others and found a place to preserve the original species." Bai Zhiyang said, "Xiao Qi often talks about breeding and selection at home. I probably know a little bit about it. I'll go get bamboo for you." She said Teleport in place into gang territory.
"Are you still planning to dig?" Lin Yunlai asked seriously. Since Zhang Tianzhao wants it, it deserves to be treated with caution.
"No more digging. What do you think?" Zhang Tianzhao asked Hai Fengqiu.
"I also think Bai Zhi's guess is correct. After digging out a thousand people, they will be finished immediately. I have observed them hunting, and the ones up to level five are ridiculously weak." Hai Fengqiu said decisively: "Give up! As long as we live here for a day and it doesn’t change, we won’t touch it.”
Bai Zhi came out to trade and gave Zhang Tianzhao a set of bamboos of various qualities. Hearing that they had decided not to move the things underneath, he was very happy and said, "This place is very comfortable to live in. It would be a pity if it was destroyed."
"People from Kunlun Ruins will always find this place. If they find something wrong, they will definitely dig it." Haifengqiu sighed, "Before they arrive, I will seize the time to visit this place and see if I can find any mutations. The herbs are used to make blue medicine. Angelica dahurica, we collect the plants and pack them in wristbands for you to plant, is that okay?"
"Okay, I won't go out this time. I just want to tidy up the inside and mark out several planting areas." Bai Zhi agreed simply.
"Yue Dongting chased him into a large underground lake. He said that all the fish and shrimps swimming in the lake were bosses. He asked us if we wanted to join him and eat boiled fish in the evening." Lin Yunlai stood up excitedly as he spoke. , "I'm tired of eating meat every day. Let's go quickly."
The location of this underground lake is quite remote. The entrance is in the middle of an underground river. I don't know how Yue Dongting found it. Fortunately, Zhang Tianzhao was able to smell his footprints and walk away. They had the bonuses of Great Qing Gong and full running speed enchantment, and soon met Yue Dongting.
Based on the coordinates she left at her residence, Bai Zhi concluded that the location of the underground lake was nearly a kilometer below the cave where she lived, and the straight-line distance was about ten kilometers. It feels amazing that this world is three-dimensional. Bai Zhi was distracted while returning the blue to her teammates: This place has everything except the sunshine, rain and dew that she longs for most, and God is very kind to these villagers and students, and has also opened anti-mutated animal plug-ins. If they had never been to the surface, would they think that the underground world was so vast and peaceful?
Killing fish is relatively easier than killing other animals. No matter how powerful the mini-bosses are, their fighting power will be weakened if they jump to the shore. In addition, Zhang Tianzhao relied on the unlimited supply of blue angelica to bring one to the shore, and then fixed it with ice. It didn't take much effort to kill more than ten of them.
Bai Zhi happily found two pieces of fish skin, one fish bone, and one fish bone on each fish. The next step was to dissect the body and extract the flesh. She unpacked her backpack and looked through the skill panel. She was pleasantly surprised to find that the system had graciously given her a new formula after she had been separated from them for so long. Soft armor can be made from fish skin and cowhide. Bai Zhi told the four of them the good news, and took out the fish bone to show everyone, saying, "I can't use this material."
The two-foot-long fish bone is half an inch wide, white and almost transparent, with an extremely sharp tip and a faint fishy smell. Zhang Tianzhao took one and played with it. After a while, he said: "This is my material. I also have a new recipe. Add black iron to make a black iron dagger. I have a lot of iron ore. I will make one myself tomorrow." Let’s try the forging tool bench.”
It had been a year since the end of the world, and we were finally able to use weapons. Everyone happily handed the fish bones in their hands to Zhang Tianzhao. Bai Zhi took out all the fish bones and gave them to him, including the fish bones.
Haifengqiu smiled when he got the one-meter-long fish bone and said, "This is mine. With the ingredients available in the store, I can make pills to speed up running."
The caves in this area are illuminated by luminous moss, and there are mutant plants growing in excellent condition everywhere. They are shaded by green trees. A tree is often bearing fruit at the bottom and blooming at the top. It is colorful and extremely beautiful. Almost every few steps, Angelica dahurica will be attracted by the flowers and fruits, and stop to pick the seeds. The four of them were not in a hurry, taking a leisurely walk and enjoying a rare rest.
Bai Zhi found a five-meter-tall tree with cotton-like fruits in the corner of a cave. She went to collect the seeds as if she had found a treasure. She picked a few and stopped. There is a large piece of flat land more than ten meters away, with green sprouts neatly arranged, and a few wisps of fluff tangled in weeds in one corner. This mutated cotton tree, as tall as a tree, was obviously used for planting.
"Grown by the villagers?" Lin Yunlai touched his chin and thought about this ten-acre cotton field. Bai Zhi was so interested that he could exchange the Armani at the bottom of the box for a few saplings.
"It looks like it was planted by students." Zhang Tianzhao squinted his eyes to observe the details. "This place is a bit far from the cave where they live. The villagers work as a family unit. Those who dare not go so far cannot plant a single plant."
Zhang Tianzhao's judgment was very accurate. Before they left, they encountered dozens of male and female students carrying working tools. This group of male and female students looked a bit miserable. They all wore coarsely woven homespun clothes and trousers, dyed in various colors of blue, blue, yellow and yellow. They had their trousers rolled up and wore straw sandals.
Bai Zhi was surprised when she saw the students for the first time and asked Yue Dongting: "The villagers are well dressed, why are the students so miserable?"
"The villagers must have moved down with their families. When the students came for internship, it happened to be late autumn. People in the northwest should wear cotton-padded clothes. I guess some boys don't even bring a change of socks. They still have clothes to wear now, which is good. ." Haifengqiu knows this kind of people best, "Half of their hunting team wears animal skins."
Yue Dongting smiled bitterly and nodded, "Except for starving to death, they lack everything."
"They can already weave, they will get better and better." Bai Zhi is very confident in them. The five-person group bypassed the group of students as usual and left the cave through another entrance.
Zhang Tianzhao dug another cave next to Bai Zhi to serve as a studio. Firstly, he guarded the pool to observe the changes in the things below; secondly, there was not enough fuel, so he could only use fire attributes to refine metals, and there was a huge demand for blue. , Bai Zhi needs to give him a full blue reply every hour.
His and Bai Zhi's living situation is this: Zhang Tianzhao sleeps in the camp every day, wakes up and has breakfast at Bai Zhi's side, Bai Zhi studies and sorts out debris outside, and goes next door to rinse his blue from time to time to ensure that he continues to work. Do your own thing within five hours. After five hours of lunch, Zhang Tianzhao will either stay outside to rest and read, record and observe the growth and changes of animals and plants in the cave, wait for Bai Zhi to return to the gang territory to work for five hours, then come out for dinner and leave, or go hunting with a hunting team. , observing the major environmental changes in this area.
If Zhang Tianzhao went hunting, one or two of the three of them would definitely come over to observe the surrounding environment, fill in the recording form, and have dinner before leaving.
For easy access, Zhang Tianzhao used bamboo to build a large bamboo balcony outside Bai Zhi's residence and studio to serve as a corridor. Bai Zhi planted two white rose trees at the same time on the gang territory and the balcony. The two trees on the balcony were separated from each other. Every day, according to the changes in the tree on the balcony closest to the thing below, the fixed tree in the gang's territory was poured with meteorite soaking liquid, leaving the other two trees to maintain their natural growth. In her own way, she observes and compares how influential the things below are.
The roses on the balcony grew so fast that they climbed up the wall to the top of the cave in less than two months, occupying a large space. The buds bloom overnight, the green leaves on the clear pool are like a blanket, and the white flowers are like embroidery, and the reflection in the pool is as beautiful as a dream. Angelica dahurica often sits in a daze under flowers. Although she doesn't mention it, everyone knows who she commemorates with roses.
Zhang Tianzhao worked hard for more than a month and finally made his first weapon, a sharp dagger, without a forging platform. This dagger must be equipped with a sheath. It is capable of cutting stone and meat. It can also be thrown as a small flying knife to hit the vital points of the small boss. Bai Zhi thinks it is easier to use to chop bamboo than the thunder blade.
After Zhang Tianzhao successfully created the dagger, he did not come up with a new formula. Based on several materials, he made changes suitable for transforming people's power, and figured out agricultural tools such as hoes, shovels, and sickles, and successfully won the title of Smith Zhang among his friends.
It's a pity that people are not interested in farming. They use fire to weed weeds. They prefer to use daggers to harvest corn. No one buys farm tools. Haifengqiu thought that having five sets of tools would be enough to show off. Zhang Tianzhao lost his job two days after receiving his achievements, and could only come to the studio to refine ore for two hours every day to stock up on supplies.
Bai Zhi also used the few cotton bolls she found in the cotton field to plant dozens of tall cotton trees. When harvesting cotton, the NPC shop generously prepared a set of formulas, including cotton cloth, shirts, trousers and pants. Trousers. The formula is so cheap that it costs almost no money, but a portion of the dye shamelessly costs several hundred gold.
The system adjusted the formula at a shameless speed, expanding the weaving materials to include fluffy grass, hemp, and several kinds of vines that were abundant in the territory. The fabrics have their own colors depending on the raw materials, although only black, white and linen are slightly monotonous. However, on the premise of killing monsters without losing money, Bai Zhi decisively ignored the existence of dyes as a commodity.
Twenty-four hours after the NPC couldn't sell the dye, it came up with a magical recipe to randomly make wool products using wool, and shamelessly added a reminder that using dye can improve the quality. The system immediately corrects the formula and prompts that blending can produce finished products in black, white and linen. I still had no sense to adjust the energy required for the new recipe to a meaningful 1 point, and the production time was adjusted to five minutes per piece.
Bai Zhi went through the NPC's shop again, and when she prepared another magical formula, the NPC actually shrank into a ball and rolled...
NPCs are becoming more and more intelligent, and the system is becoming more and more considerate. This change... only happened after settling here. It seems to be very good and useful so far. Bai Zhi decided not to mention a word to the foursome. As for the possible negative impacts, she felt that there was no need to consider them. Variations were everywhere in this area covering dozens of square kilometers. They have encountered many cases of mutated animals running away as soon as they were upgraded to the level of mini-boss. There is not much difference between living in a pool and living in other places.
The new product of Angelica dahurica has been warmly welcomed by all members of the team.
Haifengqiu also has the idea of reserving textiles and exchanging supplies with other forces. Bai Zhi cannot do it alone. He wants to make full use of the human resources in this settlement. What these villagers and students never forget is that the higher-ups will come to rescue them. Although they also saved some food, their production potential was not utilized.
Haifengqiu wanted to get more food during this period of recuperation, and try to reserve as much living resources as possible before finding this place in Kunlun Ruins.
To achieve this goal, the simplest and crudest way is to violently turn these people into slaves. But they can't do this. After several small meetings, they determined their strategy and decided to use a relatively mild approach.
