Mu Lin spent the whole day at home organizing materials and making various props.
To be honest, the fact that things would develop like this was completely beyond Mu Lin's expectations.
She imagined surviving the next day.
Hard work of logging, mining, collecting wild fruits, and then staying by the campfire on dangerous nights and not going anywhere.
Actually survive the second day.
There are already several boxes filled with basic materials at home.
The gold was even stored separately in the dragon scale treasure chest.
There were all kinds of golden axes, golden pickaxes, golden hoes, golden shovels and other tools. Each one was made in triplicate and placed on the ground. There were more than a dozen golden tools shining brightly.
The meat was stewing in the pot, and because there was so much meat she had to make several more cooking pots.
The extra ones are stored in the refrigerator.
If there is any left, dry it on the drying rack into jerky.
Even so, there are still more than ten large pieces of meat that cannot be dealt with, and they can only watch them rot and stink in the natural environment outside.
She glanced at the built-in channel and found that as the night of the second day of survival was approaching, many players began to show off their gains that day.
Many players were delighted just because they got a big piece of meat.
There were many more players who couldn't even get the big meat, and they all showed envious looks.
Comparing it with the meat that he couldn't even finish at home...Mu Lin was in a trance for a moment.
Shouldn't this dungeon be called Famine?
How come we seem invincible after only surviving the second day...
Things had developed to this point, and no matter how tolerant Mu Lin was, he finally realized that something was wrong.
She recalled that at the beginning of their survival, Xu Mu had always been dismissive of the strategy she had which was 30% complete.
At first Mu Lin thought Xu Mu was just a young boy who was not afraid of tigers and had no idea about the value of the 30% strategy. He just acted recklessly.
But now it seems.
The person who didn’t understand the value of the strategy was actually me!
His strategy is definitely better than mine!
60%?
No, maybe it will be an excellent strategy with 70% or even 80% completion !
Mu Lin finally understood now.
Why would City Lord Liu, who is the manager of a city after all, beg me to take care of a newcomer like Xu Mu in such a humble way?
Even her best friend kept emphasizing that she should take good care of him and not let anything go wrong.
At first, Mu Lin learned from Liu Hailang that Xu Mu had completed three copies in a row with SSS ratings.
But those were all lower-level copies. Whether they were S rating or SSS rating, the difference was not that big in her eyes, and she did not take it seriously.
No matter how well you play a D-level copy, the profit you get from simply passing an A-level copy is not as high as it is.
It's like seeing the little kid next door who got 100 points in the first grade, and his parents think that this kid is very talented, and want to ask you to tutor him when you are in high school.
Although I only scored 80 points when I was in the first grade, now that I am in high school, I will not be moved by the 100 points in the elementary school test.
But the current situation is that this person who scored 100 points all the way in elementary school rushed to middle school at a high speed, continued to score 100 points, and even stood on the same starting line with me in the blink of an eye.
He can still get high scores easily.
This can only mean one thing.
100 points in the primary school test is not his upper limit!
The highest score for the test paper can only be 100 points, although both are full marks.
However, there are gaps between full marks!
And Xu Mu is the latter!
"This guy's talent is too terrifying... His understanding and adaptability to dungeons far exceed that of ordinary people!"
The so-called player talent is the understanding and adaptation to each different copy.
Because no matter which copy it is, it is brand new when it first arrives.
Until today, five years later, various strategies are still circulating on the market.
These are also the experiences of senior players.
But different players will come to different insights and conclusions after playing the same copy.
Some players are able to adapt to the rules of the dungeon better and can even come up with some new tricks.
This is what is called "talent" in the new era. (To put it more intuitively, it is game understanding, but it cannot be called that in this world view)
After sorting out his thoughts, Mu Lin was secretly shocked.
With such potential, he might become one of the top figures in Sea City in the future!
"It seems that I have to pay more attention."
"Try not to let out what he knows."
"And try not to ask too many unnecessary questions."
"It's already pretty good to be able to live with a big boss!"
Mu Lin finally figured out her position.
I am the little follower in this family...
They are the ones who follow behind the big boss and live a comfortable life just by picking up the bread crumbs that the big boss crushes.
The reason why such a big boss is willing to cooperate with me is not because I am beautiful or because I am an A+ player.
It's not like I can't get citizenship of the City of the Sea so I have to live under someone else's roof.
I'm afraid it's just because of Liu Hailang's face that he finds it difficult to refuse some things.
Otherwise, even if I had the chance to pick up bread crumbs, I wouldn't be able to get it...
He is not the stinky younger brother, I am the stinky younger sister...
"I guess City Lord Liu and Xiao Xiji may not have figured out one thing."
"They seem to have some misunderstanding about Xu Mu's true strength, and they even want me to guide him."
"Now it seems that it's almost the same for him to take me with him..." Mu Lin curled his lips in a helpless manner.
Then, he took a deep breath, patted his face, and stopped thinking about it.
Since you have a big boss leading you, then just be a good follower, do your own job well, and don't cause trouble for him!
"From the inventory just now, other resources are not in short supply. It's just meat..." Mu Lin came back to his senses and thought for a while.
It's a lot of meat, that's a fact.
But it is also true that meat is not easy to store.
Even if you put it in the refrigerator, it can only delay its expiration.
The meat that just burst out from the monster is dark green in color due to its freshness.
Then as time goes by, it will drop to light green in about half a day.
After one day it will turn yellow, which means it has reached the critical value of freshness.
At this time, the hunger value and health points recovered by the big meat will be reduced a lot.
If you don't eat it at this time, wait until it turns down to red.
Eating it again will only restore a small amount of hunger value, and may even reduce sanity value.
“Even if all the meat that’s ripened in early autumn is dried into jerky, it won’t last until winter.”
“It feels like there will still be a lack of food in the winter.”
"What should I do?"
Mulin muttered to herself.
Right now.
There was a sound of cows mooing behind me.
Mu Lin turned around and found Xu Mu coming back in the moonlight, driving seven or eight yaks.
"You will plant a piece of weeds later, then fence in the cows and shear them regularly. The herd will give birth to a calf every day, and the maximum limit is 10. You can kill a cow every day for meat." Xu Mu said calmly.
Mu Lin: “…”
This this this this...
I was just worried that even though I had a lot of meat, it wouldn't last through the winter.
Xu Mu directly brought the live cattle back and raised them in captivity!
A calf can be born every day, and each cow can drop 4 pieces of meat after being killed!
This is simply a perpetual motion machine for food! From now on, there will be no shortage of meat in the dungeon!
This is simply...
never mind!
Don’t try to figure out the boss’s affairs too well!
In the next few days of survival, Xu Mu continued to bring various materials home.
The bees and beehives you bring back can be used to make beehives to produce honey.
Honey can be considered a high-end food ingredient in Don't Starve. Not only can it be added to food to increase its flavor and taste, but it can also make the food more effective in restoring hunger points.
In addition, it can be made into a special blood-restoring potion with grass sandpaper, and made into toffee with tree branches to replenish sanity.
The sheep horns brought back can be made into lightning-type attack weapons, which are very effective against monsters in the water.
The fluorescent fruits brought back can be placed in ancient lanterns, emitting light that is several times stronger than that of torches!
Moreover, its durability is much higher than that of a torch.
Whether used to decorate the home or to explore at night, it is more convenient than a torch.
Mu Lin also gradually changed from the initial shock to calmness, until she was completely calm.
No matter what rare props Xu Mu had looted in the past few days, she was no longer surprised.
As a boss, if you are not awesome, how can you still be a boss?
Xu Mu also noticed the gradual change in Mu Lin's attitude towards him.
In the past, the first thing I would say was, Hey, little brat.
Now all he says is 'boss' and 'you'.
She might have realized something, but Xu Mu didn't say much, and she was very conscious and didn't ask more questions.
The two people maintained a good understanding.
Mu Lin, who has been helping Xu Mu with various chores, has been like a little secretary during this period, running around.
However, Mu Lin, who had adjusted his mindset, did not find it boring, but enjoyed it instead.
After all, the opportunity to be led by a big boss like this doesn't always come along.
Time passed quickly, and occasionally players were eliminated.
However, compared to the horrific elimination rate on the first day, the surviving players all have some understanding of survival of their own.
In the following period of time, the number of people eliminated every day began to slowly drop.
From dozens of people, to a dozen, and then to a few people eliminated every day in the middle of the season.
Among them are some players who have already achieved the seven-day survival goal but do not have the ability to continue challenging themselves.
Until the last day of autumn, there were still two hundred players in the entire survival copy.
Finally, a prompt sound hovered above the heads of the surviving players.
Everyone raised their heads and looked up into the air.
[The first stage of survival in "Don't Starve" is about to end! Today is the last day of autumn! The cold winter is coming, and simple warming measures may not help you survive the winter! Please make as many warming props as possible! ]
As soon as the prompt sounded, the built-in channel exploded.
[What? ? I can’t survive the winter just by warming myself by the fire? How can I survive then? ]
[Shit! I forgot about wintering... I've been collecting food, materials, and armor all season long, what am I going to do...]
[It's bad! The temperature has already started to drop! Does anyone know what materials to prepare for the winter? Urgent! 】
[I thought this was the end of the survival dungeon after surviving the fall? Turns out I was too young...]
[Damn it, I ordered it. I eat garbage every day and don’t have any extra food reserves. Now winter is coming and I can’t go anywhere. What the hell is this? ]
The channel was in chaos.
Many players were already at the end of their strength after surviving the entire autumn, and originally thought of dying by the campfire, trying to hold on for a few more days.
But who knew that a simple campfire could no longer keep people warm, and more advanced heating props were needed.
All of a sudden, everyone was in a panic.
The anxiety caused by the unknown method of obtaining materials, the gradually decreasing temperature, insufficient food reserves and other multiple blows have left most players at a loss.
The entire channel was filled with wailing.
…
"Hello, President."
Apocalypse Guild, President's Lounge.
As a middle-aged man with a long face walked in, the guard standing at the door bowed slightly to the man and greeted him.
"Yeah." Tianqi responded lightly and walked straight into his lounge.
The assistant who had been waiting in the room for a long time quickly poured him a cup of tea to replenish his energy.
Whether it is the guard at the door or the secretary in the lounge, their strength has reached A+ level.
But in front of Apocalypse, he was still very reserved.
"How is Cangbai?" Apocalypse sat down on the president's chair and took off a pair of gloves made of special material and emitting a faint golden light.
He just came back from an S-level dungeon, but he's still the same.
S-level copies are too difficult. Even the elite monsters in them are extremely lethal to players, even if they have golden potential.
It only got an A rating, and the stairs only moved up a few levels.
The main reason is that this S-copy has been played many times. With repeated play, the rewards obtained will continue to decrease.
The new S-copy cards are too precious and difficult to get.
At this rate, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach S-level strength even if I die.
If one cannot climb to S-rank, he will always be constrained by the upper limit of the human body's potential and will gradually die like any ordinary person.
However, facing death, Apocalypse is very calm. With his current S-level strength, he can live to more than 150 years old.
As copies are continuously developed and technology gradually advances, there may be opportunities in the future.
"President, Vice President Pale is currently doing well, and the Famine dungeon is preparing to enter winter."
"Well, you go down first, I'll take a look myself." Apocalypse activated the blood moon emblem on the back of his hand.
As his thoughts flowed, a light screen was projected and unfolded in front of him.
Soon, the situation inside the copy appeared before our eyes.
Tianqi was not in a hurry to find his brother's projection screen.
Instead, he browsed the situation of players in other copies.
See if there are any players with good talents. You can consider recruiting them into your own guild and let them be the president of a secondary guild.
It was already the last night of autumn.
The temperature began to drop sharply, and there was even a faint snowfall in the air.
In the picture, some players were even wearing thin straw clothes, their faces were pale due to the cold, and their whole bodies were trembling.
Even though he tried hard to get closer to the fire, the cold wind blew away the warmth of the fire.
The blood volume was also decreasing in the biting cold.
Not long after, the player's eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.
Eliminated!
Some players have made relatively sophisticated weapons and stockpiled more than a dozen pieces of meat.
But he was unaware of the dangers of winter and was only focused on hunting without preparing any other warming measures. He sat around the campfire, relying on a dozen pieces of meat to survive.
Even if the hunger bar has been fully restored, I still want to survive and see tomorrow's sunrise.
He had no choice but to swallow the big pieces of meat one by one without wasting them.
The amount of blood that can be restored is quite limited.
After a minute or two passed in the outside world.
His last piece of meat that could restore his blood was also consumed.
With the invasion of biting cold wind, soon his body was slowly covered by snow and turned into a statue.
Such situations are common on winter nights!
Tianqi glanced coldly at the projection screens of the new presidents. Wherever his eyes reached, the screens began to go black and the connections were disconnected one after another.
Survival copies are cruel, and this is just a survival copy with a lower difficulty.
Player-to-player combat is not allowed, and there will be no real-life deaths.
They can't even handle this kind of difficulty, so it's hard for them to catch my eye.
Tianqi shook his head slightly. He really had no interest in watching it.
A bunch of noobs fighting each other.
Let’s look at our own brother.
Switch to the pale screen projection.
Apocalypse's expression suddenly softened.
In the picture, the home that Cangbai planned in the "Don't Starve" copy is well organized.
There are ten meat drying racks near my home!
The refrigerator is filled with a lot of meat stocks.
And he seemed to have organized a small team of about six or seven people working with him.
Everyone has a thick wool sweater.
They huddled together around the campfire. The low temperature did not affect them and their blood volume remained unchanged.
His younger brother stood in the middle of the crowd, constantly bragging about some of the glorious deeds he had done during his previous dungeon trip.
When you get to the exciting parts, you will receive cheers and praise.
The atmosphere was once very lively, which was a far cry from the miserable players who either starved to death or froze to death.
"Haha, this brat." Tianqi smiled happily.
"It seems that my 60% strategy has been put to good use by him. His talent is decent and he is quite adaptable to dungeons."
"As long as we survive the winter, things will be much easier to deal with later."
"The first place in the dungeon is already secured."
Ordinary players are just ordinary players after all. How can they be the same as those you cultivate yourself?
He fed the best strategy to his younger brother, so how could he not get first place?
Is there still justice in the world?
Tianqi symbolically drew a line across the light screen again.
On the screen that kept jumping, all you could see were pale projections everywhere.
In the deep night covered with heavy snow, only the cold flames were swaying.
There are also players whose bodies have gradually been frozen stiff.
"No need to watch, everyone except Pale will die in this round." Tianqi was about to turn off the light screen.
Suddenly, the fingertips swept across the light screen and slid towards the next live broadcast room.
Suddenly, a bright and dazzling red color came into view!
It was completely different from the bleak scenes we had seen before!
Apocalypse leaned in for a closer look.
The next moment, his smiling expression froze.
Because he discovered a problem.
Justice doesn't seem to be on his brother's side...
The first detail of the copy that caught the eye was an extremely luxuriously decorated home.
The wall made of pure gold extends at least several hundred meters away!
There is an ancient lantern hanging every few steps on the wall, and the fluorescent fruit inside it emits a quiet light that is not dazzling, but bright.
Apocalypse recalled.
If my memory serves me correctly, when I downloaded this copy back then, it seemed like I had to go through a lot of trouble to get just one of this thing.
And it also accompanied me through countless nights in the dungeon.
It is a very reliable light source when you are out hunting!
But now in this home.
It seems that this lantern is just used as a decoration...
There were hundreds of ancient lanterns densely laid on the surrounding walls! It was as if they could be picked up anywhere...
Countless lanterns emit soft light at the same time, making the light source in this area as bright as day!
Moreover, it is even more outrageous than this.
A soft fur rug lay on the cool ground.
Not only is it beautiful in appearance, but it is also very warm.
The family had long since abandoned the stone bonfire that even his brother Canbai was still using.
Instead, it was transformed into a fireplace with an imposing appearance!
The furnace body seemed to be made of hard scales, and the entire furnace was red!
From the iron-bar-like vent at the bottom, you can clearly see the blazing fire!
The firepower is more than ten times that of a campfire!
In addition, there was a small winged creature hovering in the air next to the fireplace.
There is fire all over the body!
The surrounding area was all red.
The culprit was found! The fiery red glow that was reflected on my face in the first place was this thing!
When Tianqi took a closer look, he was shocked.
this……
Isn’t this the fucking autumn BOSS Dragonfly!
Why don’t you just be the autumn boss? Why are you coming here to warm people’s beds?
How did he do this? Even in the 60% strategy he had summarized, he never dared to challenge the dragon fly. Tianqi really didn't know the reason.
Moreover, this is not the worst!
When Apocalypse's eyes moved around.
He discovered that this wealthy family had pigs and yaks kept in captivity on the left, so they had no shortage of meat.
On the right is a densely packed and crisscrossed beehive, the honey is overflowing but no one is collecting it.
Behind it is a farmland planted with many fruits and vegetables.
Thanks to the flame temperature emitted by the young dragon flies, even in winter, you can see lush young leaves growing all over the garden!
And when Apocalypse's sight finally reached the courtyard of this wealthy family.
His expression was extremely shocked!
Dozens of dishes were placed on a large square wooden table.
There are bacon fried eggs, Italian soup, ceviche, honey ham, lobster fried rice, four-happiness meatballs, stewed meat soup, etc.
Compared to his brother who was a complete failure, he was just sitting there with a refrigerator full of meat, gloating and bragging to a bunch of people...
The dishes on the table in front of me are so gorgeous that they look like a state banquet!
These steaming dishes looked so delicious at first glance that even Tianqi couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Not to mention that his brother is pale.
Even if he had been to the Famine Dungeon before, he had never obtained so many ingredients...
When your eyes are focused on both ends of the dining table.
He saw a pretty girl sitting opposite a man in a white windbreaker whose face he could not see clearly.
They had no warming measures at all and were still wearing their native clothes which were very convenient for movement, but they did not feel the cold at all.
And soon.
Tianqi heard a sentence that made him doubt his life coming out of the mouth of the man in white robe.
The man in white robe picked up a glass of watermelon juice and spoke slowly.
"Why do I feel a little hot?"
"Mulin, give me two cubes of ice."
Tianqi: “…”
He was so completely shocked that he was speechless.
Good job!
People are freezing to death over there, the cold winter is coming.
This is your summer resort, right?
