Yang Rui, who had tasted the sweetness of success, naturally searched the market again with great interest. However, he found very little. He only found two items that were listed for sale at a suitable price, and each of them only had two to three hundred items.
Currently, whether it was selling or buying, most of the things in the market were done by system NPCs. Under normal circumstances, there would not be large quantities of goods coming in and out. Furthermore, the territory that players could build was very limited. The number of villages that had been built in the entire China region did not exceed ten. How could there be many goods coming in and out?!
Yang Rui did not complain that it was too little. He bought the two batches of food that he found and then sold them at a high price. He had already anticipated this kind of market situation and was not disappointed by it.
However, for a long time after this, Yang Rui had developed the habit of looking at the market list. As long as he had some free time in the village, he would go to the market to take a look.
…
As for the gibbon and white wolf packs, Yang Rui led his troops to thoroughly visit them the next morning. Although the two packs were active in groups, in the end, Yang Rui encountered more than twenty monsters in their lairs. Moreover, each pack had a Second Grade monster. However, in front of more militia, they could only suffer grievances!
The two packs each offered a black date stick with an attack of 20 and a Grade 9 white wolf pelt! It was a decent harvest. It was not that the monster packs would not drop weapons. For example, this thick and heavy black date stick was taken by the Second Grade gibbon. It was normal for it to drop.
"Black Date Stick: Attack 20, Level Requirement: 2, Martial Strength 60!"
What was the concept of 60 martial strength? The basic martial strength required to advance to a beginner general was only that much! Although the weapon was dropped and its attack was not low, it did not look like it could be used by ordinary people! Yang Rui casually threw it into his backpack. This guy was just going to keep it as a collection.
"Grade 9 White Wolf Pelt: The remains of the white wolf pack's leader. It can be used to make equipment or decorations."
This was a good item! Yang Rui carefully kept it in his backpack. All the high-grade items were pretty good. For example, this White Wolf Pelt was found in the White Wolf Pack's den. Who knew when it would come in handy!
After killing these two tribes, only the Velvet Stone Tortoise was a potential threat in the vicinity of the mountain village. The rest of the tribes were no longer a threat. Coincidentally, another villager with the Commander talent had spawned in the refugee camp at this time — Zhong Qun, grade B. Yang Rui arranged for him to lead 20 villagers to start building small fishing boats. At the same time, they were also looking for clues about the Velvet Stone Turtles.
The construction cost of each small fishing boat was 50 units of wood, and it could carry 3 villagers. With the abundance of aquatic products, each fishing boat could harvest close to 100 units of food per day. It was even more efficient than farming. It was normal for Zhong Qun's 7 small boats to harvest 500 to 600 units of food per day.
On the first day, Zhong Qun and the others caught 3 Grade 9 Mount Tai Dragon Fish. It was an unexpected surprise and could be considered a good start!
However, four to five days had passed, and there was still no news of the Stone Tortoise tribe. Yang Rui had no choice but to strengthen his own strength. In one breath, he chose another 30 villagers to supplement Chen Li and Chen Ping. In less than half a day, 30 villagers had successfully advanced to militia. The number of militia in the mountain village had reached 60.
After strengthening their strength, the monsters within 100 kilometers were no longer enough to kill. Chen Li and Chen Ping's range of activity gradually expanded beyond 100 kilometers. They accidentally found a herd of tameable bison. The bison were level 20, and there were more than 1,000 of them!
Fortunately, the bison herd was not within 100 kilometers of the mountain village. There was no danger of them attacking the village. Otherwise, there would be big trouble! However, although the bison could be tamed, the mountain village did not have the relevant talents and buildings at the moment. They could only wait for the right opportunity in the future to make use of them.
After that, the mountain village entered a temporary stage of stable development. The population continued to increase, and the production of various resources was carried out in an orderly manner. Even if Yang Rui did not appear for a short period of time, the mountain village could still operate normally. If it were not for the lack of money, Yang Rui would have gone to the county long ago.
After another four to five days, the mountain village accumulated 50000 copper coins from selling food. Yang Rui finally could not wait any longer. He took all the savings of the entire village, the 2 Grade 9 pearls, 5 units of Grade 9 honey, 3 Grade 9 Mount Tai Dragon Fish, and a Grade 9 White Wolf Skin. He also brought along 100 units of sweet potatoes and embarked on the road to Juping County.
Before the first system update, the food that was stored in the warehouse was not differentiated by grade. Regardless of whether it was sweet potatoes, Mount Tai Dragon Fish, or honey, as long as they were stored in the system warehouse, they would immediately be converted into units of food. Therefore, these things had always been in Yang Rui's backpack!
Yang Rui naturally wanted to put these more precious things to good use. It was just a matter of whether they would be useful when the time came. As for the 100 units of sweet potatoes, Yang Rui brought them along on a whim. Weren't sweet potatoes a foreign species? They could be considered a local specialty!
As for the matters in the mountain village after Yang Rui left, he pushed them all to Qian Qiang, Chen Li, Chen Ping, Wang Hai, and the other core members.
Qian Qiang was in charge of the internal affairs, sweet potato planting, and personnel allocation; Wang Hai assisted in the housing construction and the registration of the new villagers; Chen Li and Chen Ping were in charge of security and killing monsters, commanding the 60-odd militia; Bao Lei was in charge of the logging field; Li Jun was in charge of the quarry; and Zhong Qun was in charge of the fishing industry.
Without any worries, Yang Rui arrived at Juping County in no time as he was familiar with the roads.
Although it had only been 20 days, Juping County had undergone a lot of changes. It was still bustling with activity, but it was very different from when Yang Rui first arrived at Juping County. Especially the atmosphere in the city. Due to the influx of players, the city was now filled with busy figures running around. There was less of a relaxing rhythm and more of an abrupt mess!
That was the difference between players and NPCs. As a player, Yang Rui was no exception. After entering the city, he went to all the relevant places without stopping to buy 11 Basic Building Upgrade Blueprints. This was Yang Rui's main mission for this trip.
The highest level of Blueprints sold in the county was the Intermediate Level. However, the price of Basic Blueprints was so high that Yang Rui could not afford it. Each Basic Blueprint cost 2,000 copper coins, and 11 Blueprints cost a total of 22000 copper coins. It was almost half of Yang Rui's wealth!
As for the Intermediate Blueprints, the price was as high as 10000 copper coins. Yang Rui used all his savings to buy a Intermediate Level Market Blueprint. As for the rest of the Intermediate Blueprints, Yang Rui did not even think about it. Currently, the Beginner Level of the other buildings were enough for him.
