Chapter 140: Good Harvest
Yes, the snow has not stopped since the beginning of winter. If the city-state's inland wineries had not hired residents to shovel snow, it is estimated that the snow on the streets would have accumulated so much.
Seeing that the three of them had left, Lin Zuo said to Dou Fanrong beside him: "If they're going out, then we can go too."
They also plan to go out today, but other teammates are hesitant, so the delay until now, is just in time. If someone goes out of town to test the waters first, they will take a look first.
Dou Fanrong put away the dagger he had been playing with in his hand, and said: "Then let's go too, I'm tired of playing simulated battles all day long."
He prefers actual battles.
Lin Zuo rolled his eyes at him and began to inform his teammates who were willing to go out of the city to gather at the gate of the city.
Outside the city, the snow was falling too heavily; Lu Jiu and the others had to wear goggles, lest they couldn't keep their eyes open in the snowstorm, and would die unjustly if they were attacked by wild monsters.
The few people were packed tightly from beginning to end, and there was too much wind in the field, so they could only communicate via email.
At that moment, it appeared as though there was no life outside the city except for the three of them.
[Lu Jiu: It's the first time I came out to fight wearing such thick clothes, and I'm a little worried that it might affect my movements.]
[ Zhuang Yun: I'm also worried. ]
[Shen Jufeng: It's okay, it's just clothes, we have all started our careers, and strength alone is not comparable to before.]
What can the two of them do? Of course, they believe in Shen Jufeng.
Lu Jiu stretched her neck and then looked around as she walked.
They didn't panic when they came out this time. Even if they were really in a desperate situation, she could still use the teleportation crystal to build a channel to teleport people back to the city. It would be a waste of such an out-of-print item.
The three walked for a while without encountering anything.
【Lu Jiu: We've been out and about for so long, could it be that we're just going around in circles? I feel like this piece of white is almost the same as before. 】
[Shen Jufeng: Pay attention to the map, wild monsters cannot be encountered by walking far, the key is to refresh, and except for fixed-point wild monsters like BOSS, the rest are spawned near players.]
[Zhuang Yun: ...]
They don't need to specifically look for wild monsters, they just want to see if the system will spawn them.
Wandering around aimlessly until almost 11 o'clock, the physical strength required for traveling in winter is higher than that in summer or autumn.
This will consume nearly a quarter of their physical strength.
[Zhuang Yun: If we don't meet again later, we'll set up tents and settle down for lunch. ]
[Lu Jiu: Well, Bai walked for several hours. 】
Shen Jufeng remained silent as his teammates decided that he would follow.
After walking for another ten minutes, they finally gave up and continued searching, braving the wind and snow to set up their tents.
The tent is new and its temperature can be adjusted.
The three of them just took a short break for lunch and then pitched a tent.
Firewood had already been put on the heater, and the temperature in the entire tent rose rapidly. Lu Jiu took off her hat, scarf, and everything else, and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Oh, it's still boring to wear."
After taking them all off, people felt a lot more relaxed.
"Let's eat mutton at noon."
It's so cold in winter, of course, you have to eat warm mutton.
"Okay, I want some spicy food. I want to stimulate my taste buds. My mouth feels a little stiff."
After Shen Jufeng untied the scarf, he shook his head and said, "Me too, I also want some spicy food."
But they didn't just sit there doing nothing; Zhuang Yun cut the mutton, while the two of them squatted beside each other to pick vegetables.
Zhuang Yun cooked the spicy mutton hotpot, which was a pot of rice.
The three of them gathered around the small heating table, enjoying their meals. It was a joy to be able to eat spicy meat on such a cold day.
In the bright red pot, put a pair of chopsticks and cook the mutton for a few seconds. The tender red meat is dipped in red oil, and eaten with rice. The spicy taste hits the brain, spicy and refreshing.
After finishing their lunch in this manner, the three of them decided to sit and take a rest while listening to the wind blowing outside the tent.

On the other hand, Lin Zuo and the others were a bit lucky. About an hour after leaving the city, they encountered a group of wild monsters, all of which were brown iron-level rabbit-type wild monsters.
Although they were large, the group managed to solve it quickly, and the rewards they dropped were more generous than those in the fall.
There were a lot of wild monsters appearing in winter. The group they encountered had nearly forty of them. Fortunately, there were twelve of them, so they wouldn't be in a hurry to deal with them.
Lin Zuo solved the three rabbit monsters, and the rewards he got were: 7 pieces of complete rabbit fur, 150 kg of rabbit meat, 12 red buttons, 8 blue buttons, and 5 silver coins.
Not only did the supplies increase significantly, but also, There are red buttons and blue buttons for the first time.
"What is this button?" Some teammates have already held the red button in their hands, which looks like a button on clothing, but here it is a prop.
[Red Button: This is a magical prop, a necessity for making Silver-Level Equipment.]
[Blue button: This is a magical item, necessary for making silver and gold level equipment. 】
"Damn it, silver and gold ranks, you can make a lot of money."
Upon seeing the introduction of the blue button, someone couldn't help but scream.
Lin Zuo was in a good mood, and it turned out to be the right thing to do. Although those wild monsters just now were more difficult to deal with than the brown iron-level monsters encountered in autumn, the harvest was better than then.
"Well, it's not a bad idea to call you out today," Lin Zuo smiled smugly.
"Captain, you have the foresight. Even if we only encounter this wave of wild monsters, we will make a lot of money."
"Okay, let's set up our tent when we arrive and take a break during lunchtime."
Although their physical strength had not been exhausted, their mental state was not as good as when they first came out.
Sure enough, they didn't encounter any wild monsters later, but they didn't plan to go back immediately, so they decided to take a break and continue in the afternoon.
Good props who don't want to collect more points.
After resting, Lu Jiu and the others packed up their tent and continued on their journey.
After wandering in the wild for a while, they finally encountered a group of wild monsters; however, there were too many of them.
It was Lu Jiu who was first found biting his calf. They were a group of mole wild monsters. Their fur was the same as the surrounding environment. Fortunately, their dark noses were very obvious.
There are fifteen in this pile, all of the brown iron grade.
Lu Jiu stepped on the wild monster that was biting her, causing it to chirp in pain.
"There are many wild monsters here! We must move quickly," she said in an excited tone.
"I see, how much each person can deal with depends on the situation."
The three took out their weapons and spent most of the day before finally meeting a group.
Lu Jiu didn't use a bow or arrows either and instead used a dagger to fight in close quarters. She had practiced this during recent training.
These mole monsters are agile and primarily attack the lower body.
Lu Jiu stabbed and kicked a few wild monsters away, but eventually couldn't hold back, and directly took out a bow and arrow to shoot them at close range. Anyway, she hit every shot with every shot.
The wild monsters gathering at her feet are obvious targets, but even though their clothes are thick, they will tear if they bite like this.
She had no choice but to put on wings and fly, but the wind was so strong that she was blown to the side.
Lu Jiu, however, did not give up and instead used her wings as a jumping tool, jumping away after being bitten a few times.
This way, it took time to solve the four wild monsters, and the remaining ones were divided between the two teammates.
Such close combat is not good for her, even after trying, she is still not suitable for close combat.
