Chapter 39 The order in which food is distributed is important
[System notification: This transaction has been completed, the timber merchant is about to leave, and the "Summoning Merchant" function has been opened for players, and the details can be viewed on the system mall page. 】
[System Notification: Congratulations to players for completing the "Challenge Mission (9): Timber Merchant" and receiving the task reward "90 Challenge Coins, 900 XP Points, Limited Time Discount Shop, 5% Off Purchase Permission.] 】
[System Tips: Special merchants will often appear in the farm, please always prepare the materials that the merchants need, if you have special items, you can also try to summon the merchant page in the system mall through the dialog box, and the special merchants have a certain probability of bringing the items they need for the player in the next transaction. 】
[System Prompt: The player's level is upgraded to level 17.] 】
The timber merchant was just like when he suddenly appeared, Lu Xi just glanced at the system notification that popped up, and when he looked up again, the figure of the timber merchant had completely disappeared.
Even Xiao Yuan and Miao, who were staring at the timber merchant closely, didn't know when and how he left, obviously they had been watching each other.
Lu Xi didn't care about this, there were more unreasonable places in the game system, and this elusive ability was just a small problem, so don't care.
Click on the system mall panel, and Lu Xi will view the newly appeared summoning merchant page.
As expected, there is not only one Timber Merchant, but also seven Special Merchant avatars, which appear side by side on the page.
The number one name is shown as [Timber Merchant], and the rest are [?? Merchant].
[Timber Merchant (Summoning Cooldown): Likes to collect valuable wood, and if you have more than 500 gold worth of wood, you can summon a Timber Merchant to trade. 】
[System tip: The higher the transaction amount, the lower the discount you can get for the limited-time discount store that is unlocked.] 】
【?? Merchant: After making a trade with a player, the merchant's information is unlocked. 】×6
[System Prompt: When the goods stored in the player's system warehouse or system backpack reach a certain amount, there is a chance to meet the corresponding special merchant, and after unlocking the corresponding special merchant, you can make a designated summon. 】
In the list of seven special merchants, there is also a chat dialog box like a small group, and the members are displayed as 8 people, Lu Xi looked for it, but he didn't see the private chat function, and it is estimated that he can only use group chat to chat.
The subpage shows the limited-time discount store that Lu Xi just saw, and there are purchase records, but Lu Xi can't buy it now, so he can only look through the products on it and record what items he can buy next time.
Some of the goods are limited, if Lu Xi wants to buy more, he can use the dialog box function to ask the special merchants to prepare a little more of this product next time.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that it's a limited-time discount shop opened by seven special merchants, which is open, but each time the goods will be different in quantity and type.
Special merchants may agree to Lu Xi's request, or they may refuse, such as due to insufficient inventory of goods.
Lu Xi found this reason very interesting, from the six commentators of the farm dress up mini-game, to the seven special merchants...... Tsk tsk.
The so-called farm game system is not just a game.
[Challenge Mission (10) - Goodnight Farm: The harmonious atmosphere of the farm is an important experience of the game, players should not ignore the opportunity to build a good relationship with the farm residents, please say goodnight greetings with the three farm residents before 12 o'clock in the evening. 】
[Reward: 100 challenge coins, 1000 experience points.] 】
Lu Xi was silent for a moment, although this task was not particularly difficult, it was not very troublesome to do, and there was plenty of time.
But she just felt that there was a disease, a problem, a big problem.
Fortunately, Cross came back with those from their village at this time, diverting Lu Xi's attention and allowing her not to worry about this task for the time being.
When Cross had just returned to his companion's resting place, he was almost attacked by the reckless Iron Fang because of the clothes on his body.
Kross, who was thrillingly dodging a wooden fork, didn't have time to be angry, and Iron Fang's voice sounded first, "Ah, it's Brother Cross, are you okay, I thought some monster was approaching." ”
"I'm fine...... understands that Iron Fang is responsible for the villagers, and Cross's anger can't be raised.
Iron Fang scratched his head and asked again, "Brother Cross, what's the matter with your clothes?" ”
"A little surprise." Cross didn't explain to Iron Fang alone, but returned to the rest of the crowd first.
The villagers who were sitting on the ground to rest had already heard Iron Fang's loud voice, but no one got up to see what was going on, they were all trying to rest for a while and reduce their movements, but their eyes full of desire to survive were all looking in one direction brightly.
As soon as Cross appeared, he saw dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him closely, and their pupils showed a strong desire to survive.
Cross looked at these tired and hungry villagers, his voice was a little hoarse, they were not completely without food, but in the face of a journey that did not know the end of the journey, they could only try to eat a little less every day, walk a few more steps, so that they could hold on longer.
So even if they were hungry, no one touched the food for the next few days.
"We didn't go the wrong way! Ahead was indeed the Spiritual Farm, where I met the owner of the farm, a noble and kind young lady, who said she would take us in! ”
Cross spoke excitedly, but it was not the same reaction he had expected, and the villagers looked at him blankly, as if they could not understand the meaning of the words...... Or, I can't believe it.
After all, what is the value of this group of people, and what noble lord doesn't want stronger slaves to do more work.
"It's true, look at the clothes on my body, that noble lady has taken pity on me, so she has rewarded me with this warm and comfortable dress." Cross struggled to explain, untying the bathrobe and letting the villagers touch it.
The soft touch finally gave these people some real feeling, and great enthusiasm suddenly erupted in their pupils.
"Really? You didn't lie to us?! ”
Cross carefully put the bathrobe back on his body, so that it would not be torn, so that the noble lady could see it, and think that he did not value the reward.
"Of course, what did I lie to you, now that noble lady is waiting for us to come over, everyone hurry up, don't let that kind noble lady wait for a long time."
Hearing Cross's words, the remaining villagers of Wamuda Village finally had a real feeling, and hurriedly helped each other to get up, and even burst out with extraordinary strength, and they hurried a lot faster.
Because of this, he appeared in front of Lu Xi's eyes many minutes earlier.
Looking at the aristocratic lady in front of them, the villagers of Wamuda Village did not think that there was anything wrong with Lu Xi, but unanimously agreed that Lu Xi's performance was very gorgeous and noble, which was very in line with the style of the aristocratic lady.
As for the black robe and the weird hat Lu Xi was wearing...... What can a noble lady do with her dress?
Lu Xi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her appearance, between good-looking and practical, or the latter was more important, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to come out wearing a hard hat.
The villagers of Wamuda Village did not dare to look directly at Lu Xi, and they were all uneasy, like a group of frightened chickens being driven together, and they didn't even dare to whisper in private with their heads down.
Lu Xi didn't mind watching them from beginning to end, judging what work they could take on and how much work they could do.
It's not that I really want this group of people to play any role, Lu Xi has the golden finger of the game system, and there are two "plug-ins" of Mao Hao and Xiao Yuan, so I can't use this group of people for anything.
Because of her kindness and high sense of morality, she couldn't do anything that would not be saved in the face of death, so she decided to save these people.
But Lu Xi understands one thing better, that is, he can't use his kindness to feed a group of "idlers", and what will be fed in that way will only be a group of white-eyed wolves that are not well raised.
Just like the story relayed by Cross, Lu Xi's "grandmother" once rescued the old village chief of Darcy Village, made the old village chief of Darcy Village work for a whole month, and then gave him two bags of grain "wages".
Is Lu Xi's "grandmother" really such a laborer?
Definitely not, but this kind of behavior can effectively prevent others from coming to the farm to cheat food, and can also help those who really need help and have a good heart.
Lu Xi's idea is similar, she can give food and shelter and safety guarantees, but this group of people can't be idle, they must do what they can.
Even if this work is to move the bricks from the east yard to the west yard and from the west yard to the east yard, they have to do it.
"Okay, you don't have to get together, the place is so big, you should rest, just have a person in charge and talk to me." After passing the number of people to the side, Lu Xi only opened his mouth when he counted them.
Her voice is not too loud, but in the silence where no one dares to speak, it can be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
Without waiting for the villagers' eyes to move over, Cross walked out consciously first and walked to Lu Xi's side very respectfully.
Because of the low hanging head, Cross's eyes could only see the area below Lu Xi's elbow, and the ugly white gloves he had just seen had been taken off and replaced by two delicate-looking bracelets and rings.
These ornaments, of course, are the elemental magic weapons that Lu Xi just bought, and Lu Xi immediately equipped them all to protect his safety.
The current Lu Xi, standing still, can resist the attack of the water for at least an hour, and the defense is like an iron bucket.
Not everyone can carry a dozen defensive elemental magic weapons on their bodies.
Lu Xi turned the ring on her finger, she was not used to bringing so many jewelry, extravagant, it was too extravagant.
"I see you've been hungry for a long time, I have some food, you find two people who are still physically good, come over and help divide them."
Lu Xi glanced at the pots on the ground, and cooked wild rice porridge for more than an hour, that is, the kitchen produced by the system has a constant temperature function, otherwise it would have been cooked a long time ago.
"This ......" Cross's mind instantly mudded, when he came over before, he saw these pots of boiling food, of course, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that this noble lady was having a picnic.
Now it seems that the food in these pots is clearly prepared for them in advance, otherwise why would they cook so much?!
If Lu Xi knew Cross's thoughts, she might have explained, in fact, she usually prepared meals for Mao, and she also came according to this amount......
But Cross was right, Lu Xi was indeed prepared for them.
Cross's lips trembled, this noble lady had obviously discovered their group a long time ago, and had also discovered their state, and took pity on them, so she specially prepared food for them.
Yes, how could a noble lady not notice what was going on around her?
What a kind young lady she is!
Cross glanced at Lu Xi with a strong emotional gaze that was almost surging, and then lowered his head reverently, "Yes, master." ”
"Uh...... Call me Miss Lucy. Lu Xi would not be stupid enough to say anything equal to this group of homeless people.
But the title "master" also sounds too shameful, so forget it.
"Yes, Miss Lucy." Cross changed his tune from the good.
After Lu Xi finished arranging, he sat down on the side, the noble lady wanted to have the noble lady's Yazi, if she personally went down to distribute the porridge, they didn't know if they were moved, but they felt that few people dared to drink it.
Cross beckoned Iron Fang over, and unfamiliarly manipulated the pots on the ground.
A stack of large, neat wooden bowls was placed next to the pot, and when Cross lifted the lid, a delicious smell of food was instantly transmitted.
Cross swallowed subconsciously, almost wanting to pounce on the pot and pour it into his mouth, but reason controlled him.
Iron Fang walked over, smelled the fragrance, and his eyes straightened, "Brother Cross, what is this......"
"Miss Lucy gave us food!" Cross said solemnly, "I'll bring you the bowl later, you take it and give it to them, so that they don't rob it, Miss Lucy is watching them, the food is enough, everyone has it." ”
Iron Fang nodded, one of his strengths was that he was obedient enough to do whatever Cross said.
"You send it to those who have children first, and then to the elderly, let Tiemu and them line up to pick it up, don't grab it, do you hear!" Cross commanded again.
The matter of distributing food, if it is not done by a convincing person, can easily cause problems, but fortunately, Cross has this convincing power in front of these fellow villagers.
Tieya nodded, and when he returned to the village with two large bowls of steaming, sticky, and plump wild rice porridge, even though he saw his sister's hungry pitiful eyes, he still gave the two bowls of porridge to the mother of the youngest two children first, as Cross said.
Iron Tooth rubbed his sister's, thinking that he whispered comfort, "Don't worry, there is a lot of food in the pot, everyone can eat it, Brother Cross won't let us grab it, we have to make a good impression on that Miss Lucy, my brother will send the food in order, and it will be you later." ”
After hearing this, some of the villagers on the side who were about to move also quieted down, those who had the heart or courage to dare to be the first bird had long since stayed in the tide of monsters, and the rest of them were thin and weak, and their courage was almost as thin.
The food was distributed smoothly, the whole process was very quiet, and there was no trouble, Lu Xi was very pleased, well-behaved and sensible.
I think some people are worried that Shengmien will fight Mi Hate.
The protagonist's farm is not only a farm system, but the protagonist slowly develops around the farm system, in addition to the resident NPCs in the farm, all kinds of natives are indispensable.
Otherwise, how can the protagonist do the content in the introduction, and get acquainted with people everywhere.
In addition, one reader's comment is very correct, the farm game system is an alien object, and if the protagonist appears on the farm to activate it at the beginning, it is a simple game system.
But in the two months that the protagonist has not arrived at the farm, the farm has actually been integrated with the other world irreparably, so part of the content of the farm is real people and things from the other world.
