Chapter 24: Winter is coming
As it turns out, no one can afford to give up this game yet.
When a player accepts the task of tanning animal skins, they give them something and find the butterfly lady with the blue-purple floret they picked from outside.
"It's flax."
Lady Butterfly recognized what it was at a glance
When he heard the name of the plant, his eyes lit up, "Is it the kind of flax that the seeds can eat?" ”
Lady Butterfly nodded: "Its seeds are not only edible, but the stalks can also be used to make cloth." The cloth made of linen was very strong and durable, and it was the shroud of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. ”
Lu Qiqi was slightly stunned when he heard the pharaoh's special shroud, but quickly accepted-
Since you can wrap Pharaoh,
Of course, it can also be used to wear people.
The two do not conflict.
"Thank you."
She thanked Ms. Butterfly and turned to the mission hall to post a new quest - to find linen basics.
Flax, a hardy and hardy, very resilient economic vegetation.
Two crops can be sown in a year.
One acre of land can harvest about 300 catties of flaxseed, and at the same time, after the flax straw is recycled, the short fiber can be kneaded into hemp rope, and the long fiber can be used to make clothes, and the use value is extremely high.
After confirming the information, she immediately sent someone to harvest flaxseeds.
Perhaps the previous time was too depressing and tense, and good fortune seemed to favor this month's land period. The players sent out have new gains along the way-
"Chestnut, we found a chestnut tree!"
When the player returns with the brown spikes of the fruit, breaking open the thorns and hard shells to reveal the white flesh inside, the land period is not yet noticeable.
Until the player says that this wild chestnut forest may have almost two acres of land.
What wild chestnut forest?
It's now in the compilation!
From today on, this chestnut forest surnamed Lu is the territory of their Nuwa tribe!
These chestnuts, along with the flax crops that had just been discovered, gave their territory a lot more food. Now it's just a matter of taking the player and the clan and sending these resources back to the territory in a steady stream.
As we enter October, the weather starts to get cooler.
As the temperature gets colder and colder, the work of going out to collect is slowly coming to an end.
The warehouse of the territory was already full, and the land period was holding the wooden planks of the dog's leftover crooked record:
about 300 pounds of flaxseed;
about 2,400 pounds of chestnuts;
1,679 dried salted fish, about 3,300 catties;
cassava root is about 3,000 pounds;
about 1,200 pounds of bacon;
about 600 kilograms of fruits, wild vegetables and eggs;
A total of 10,800 catties of food were distributed evenly to each person's head about 72 catties. If each person plans to eat 1 pound of grain per day, they can also last for more than 2 months if they do not go out to hunt in winter.
Life still has to be tight, but it's absolutely fine to survive the winter.
The rain in late autumn is falling one after another.
Every time it rains, the temperature drops by several degrees. Leaves have begun to fall, grass is turning yellow, and many animals are migrating or hiding for the winter.
And in the same land, other tribes are also preparing food for the winter.
Black Soil Tribe
The sturdy youths returned from hunting and brought back three adult antelopes.
Their harvest today was good, but at this moment of joy, the oldest elder of the tribe had a sad face: "This year's winter seems to be coming faster than before. ”
Young people may not feel it, but experienced people can clearly feel the change in time. At this time of year in previous years, there were more prey than now, and the weather was more suitable than now.
And the current change makes the old man feel uneasy.
"Patriarch, this year may be colder than ever. Take advantage of the good weather now and stock up on more food. ”
"Okay."
The patriarch nodded.
They didn't even rest after bringing back their prey, took a little dry food and went into the forest again to continue hunting......
In mid-November, the first heavy snow came.
The temperature dropped to minus a few degrees Celsius, and thin ice began to form on the surface of the river.
But the last firewood for the winter was already being collected in the tribes of the land period, and the leather garments made of animal skins were being delivered. Twenty leather coats and 22 blankets, a hill of firewood near each house, and a warehouse full of food are all the foundation for this year's winter.
At this time, Lu Qi was wearing animal skin clothes and wrapped himself tightly around his territory.
All of their houses have been renovated for nearly four months. The slavery status of the Grass Tribe had long since been replaced by formal citizenship, and all of them lived in warmer and sturdier houses.
Recently, Fuji and others still go out every day to break open the ice to fish.
The fishing situation is pretty good right now, and they bring back some fresh fish every day. Fishing continued until mid-December, when the temperature dropped again and the frozen layer of the river became extremely thick, so thick that it could not be chiseled with stones.
Everyone honestly returned to the territory, lit a fire, and burned the kang.
And at this time the Black Earth tribe.
Because of the early arrival of winter, they simply did not store enough food. Even as the weather gets worse, they have to brave the biting cold wind and go outside in search of food they might find. If they can't find a little more prey in the last few days, many people in the tribe will starve to death this winter......
The warriors of the tribe wrapped up their skins and left together.
Inside the cave, the elderly, children, and some women huddled together and sat around a small fire to keep warm. The cold wind outside blew through the crack in the cave entrance, and the child curled up in the arms of the adult, shivering with cold.
And in the Nuwa tribe.
White smoke came out of the chimneys of almost every house.
The house where the stove was lit gradually warmed up, and the indigenous people who had just discovered the wonder of the house were stunned, they did not expect such a magical thing. Immediately afterwards, they began to spread hay on the kang, and the warmth of the kang made people love it.
The few children in the tribe climbed up and down next to the kang. When I was tired of climbing, I lay on it and fell asleep.
Of course, they can't be so happy all the time.
Lu Qi attaches great importance to the future development of the territory, and she has converted the slave house that was once used to house the original grass tribe into two activity rooms.
One was used as a classroom for teaching.
Children must be punctual in class, and there are no restrictions on adult clansmen and players.
The main contents of the lecture are: Medical Skills - Butterfly Lady; Ceramic production - the god of infrastructure; Basic Literacy + Basic Arithmetic - Great Lord.
Other players who are interested in taking classes can also apply here during the land period.
As long as the skill is suitable for teaching and has strong practicality, it can be approved directly. Players who take the initiative to teach can also get a certain amount of contribution points + flaxseed oil.
If there is a luxury in the territory now, it must be flaxseed oil.
The food is found by everyone together, and everyone is divided equally.
There was only flaxseed oil, which they only squeezed out a little bit, and they couldn't distribute it evenly and were left behind by the lord. Since antiquity, rare things are expensive, and in the case of only roasting and boiling, the appearance of oil can make food have the possibility of frying and stir-frying.
Everybody wants flaxseed oil.
And there are already local tyrant players who use virtual currency to buy flaxseed oil.
A lot of players don't understand.
Converting the virtual currency used to buy flaxseed oil into RMB is enough to have a big meal in the real world, "Isn't it more fragrant than this in the real world Mikiki feast, made with top olive oil for you?" ”
The Kryptonite boss's answer was: "In the Molka Continent, eating is an experience and atmosphere. ”
It's really annoying.
Another activity room has been converted into a textile room to process the flax straw harvested before the heavy snowfall.
In this room, most of the work is done by the Aborigines.
There are also special players to check information and guidance.
They have been able to successfully separate short and long fibers and weave linen from long fibers.
On the official website forum, someone posted a screenshot of his game - [The first piece of linen that was successfully made, after half a month, finally succeeded. I really admire the wisdom of the ancients, and I also admire the super awesome self (picture) (picture)]
As soon as this news was released, people who wanted to play games but didn't have an account heard about it.
[Yo yo yo, I admire myself (). 】
[The linen is amazing. 】
[Do you think that sending a few pictures can make us jealous, thinking about the beauty, who is rare and convex ^-^ convex]
This sour smell can be smelled through the words.
Contemporary netizens uphold the belief that if you can't get it, you will destroy it. Then I ran to the official website to make trouble, and asked the official father when he would be able to increase the number of new game places, and if he didn't increase the number of game places, they would abandon the game mentally.
Land is also eager to summon more players, after all, population is productivity.
But how can you increase the number of summoned players?
She went to ask Xiongbatian.
"There is a complex set of guidelines for the number of players to summon."
To be honest, Xiongbatian had never encountered such a host before.
Disguise the Molka continent as a game and link the two worlds. The desire to outsource this mission alone has almost exhausted the energy it had previously accumulated, "You have to provide me with more energy so that I can continue to help you summon more players." ”
"Don't you still have energy?"
There was a deep suspicion in Lu Zhizhi's tone.
It's not that she's suspicious, it's that it says it has no energy, but in fact, it's investing and gambling with energy, "You don't want to enslave me, do you?" ”
Because of enslavement of others,
So the fear of being enslaved by others.
The Male Overlord was furious: "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you? ”
Please, you're not human, you're just a ruler.
In response to its rhetorical question, Lu Qiqi chose to change the topic: "Let's talk about how to provide you with new energy." ”
Tyrant Tianjiao snorted coldly, "As a system that assists the host to dominate the world, my energy naturally comes from the nourishment of your territory, people, armed strength, and your prestige.
As long as you can achieve a certain number of lord achievements, I have the ability to help you continue to summon players. ”
How much is a certain achievement?
That's a very vague thing to say.
It's no different from tying a carrot to the top of a donkey's head and tricking it into grinding.
The land period is not set, "give a hard indicator, specific data." Otherwise, this task cannot be done. ”
