When the city lord discovered this point, he chose all high-level talent NPCs after the upgrade. Only then did he discover that the level of intelligence exhibited by NPCs depends on their talent levels.

But the city lord was not most concerned about this now: “When we attacked the wild monsters in the canopy just now, the wild monsters in the other trees didn’t come out even if they were too close. Does it mean we only had to fight them in each tree? It would be best if there were still fruits inside after killing them. But even without the fruits, the rewards from killing the wild monsters are not much worse.”

Even if they can’t get the tempered fruit, the tempered wild goose meat and feathers were also very good.

Ruan Fanyao felt it was feasible: “Sure, but not every wild monster with wings has these rewards. Before, when we killed that brown iron mutation level cold moon pigeon, there were only two pairs of wings as a reward.”

The cold moon pigeon was a wild monster they encountered in autumn. Its wings can be made into wing accessories, but the number was extremely rare. So far, only two pairs of wings have been successfully made.

Because the two of them were the pioneer players, in order not to arouse the anger of other professional players, the two pairs of wings were sold to other professional players.

The city lord looked at the tree trunks, thinking about how else to reach the canopy: “If there is no way to climb up, we can tie ropes to the branches of each tree, and climb up by ourselves.”

“I think that’s the only way, then let’s go back and inform them?”

“Let’s go.”

When the two came out, they were still worried, worried that these wild geese would bring instability to their city-state security. But now, they can rush forward and fight, which was no different from encountering wild monsters in batches before.

Lu Jiu swept the tempered fruits of nearly a hundred trees in Xuantian City. When she was about to go to the next canopy, she saw Shen Jufeng who was still picking.

Feeling embarrassed.

“I went to the field to find trees, I didn’t expect to bump into you.”

Shen Jufeng harvested the fruit: “If we continue to pick, we will have to go farther, and you will have to go much farther.”

Lu Jiu was not in a hurry to go to the next tree, and sat directly on a branch in the canopy: “I have picked nearly ten thousand tempered fruits, don’t you want to leave some for others?”

She has always felt that she has too many items equipped.

“Did you forget the wild monsters in Qiuyu City? Whether it’s the wild monsters spawned there or migrated from the north, it means that these fruits must be harvested as soon as possible. Otherwise, I guess most of them will go into their stomachs.”

That means they have to keep picking. Even if they don’t fight those wild monsters, they can get more rations.

He continued: “Besides, Qiuyu City is next to Yangshan City, and we are just south of them. We will be the next one to be attacked by those wild monsters, so hurry up and pick more, and send an email in the name of the city lord. Advising all capable professional players to come out.”

How much they can get by picking fruits by themselves? Don’t look at the thousand fruits they each gathered now, the number of giant trees in the entire Yangshan City was immeasurable.

Lu Jiu nodded, “That makes sense, then I’ll go further and send an email on the way.”

Rather than those cheap wild monsters, it was better to encourage professional residents in the city-state to come out and pick together, just pay attention to safety.

As soon as Lu Jiu went out, she changed into another image. At this moment, she was the city lord of Xuantian City Ying Bairong’.

Professional players who were still in the city were still struggling with whether to go out or not and how to climb such a tall tree. These were all problems.

Qiuyu City was next to Yangshan City, maybe those wild monsters will appear on their side soon.

According to the descriptions of other players in the same province channel, the number of those wild monsters was extremely large, almost overwhelming the sky.

Brother Wen and A’Liu were also considering whether to go out into the city after reading the information in the group mail.

[City Lord of Xuantian City: To all professional residents in the city, who have the qualified strength and weapons to climb trees pick the tempered fruits as soon as possible. The next batch of wild geese monsters and other wild monsters will target Xuantian City. Be careful, you must act in groups to avoid wild monsters from suddenly attacking.]

Seeing the city lord’s email, the two made up their minds to form a team to go out to pick tempered fruits. At worst, they would go to the nearby trees in the city-state so that they could run back immediately.

Lu Jiu herself set off to a place farther away from Xuantian City. She also informed Zhuang Yun. She told him to notify her via email the coordinates if something happened.

Compared to Lu Jiu and others who have wings, Lin Zuo’s team was more strenuous in picking. They finally climbed up a tree and picked up quickly within two minutes. At this time, they have to change to another tree to continue picking.

The distance between the trees was close and they could jump directly. If the surrounding trees were far away, and they were not sure of success, they still chose to go down the tree first and climb another one.

After a few trips, everyone was sweating profusely and felt too hot. Even in autumn clothes, they wished they wore summer clothes.

Some people did this. After picking the fruit in the canopy, when they saw no one was around, they simply took off their clothes and changed.

After picking the fruit from a tree, Dou Fanrong stepped out of the canopy, glanced at the ground at a height of 100 meters, and without hesitation, jumped onto the giant tree next to him with all his strength.

The expression on his face was calm, but the blood flow all over his body accelerated, and he could hear the pulsation of blood vessels.

His fingertips were about to touch the branch of the tree, but they slid directly over, and he fell, his expression remained unchanged, and he stopped directly after falling to a certain level.

Lin Zuo came out just not far away. The fog had dissipated a little at this moment, and the visibility was much farther. When he came out, he saw his friend’s seemingly crazy act of dying.

“Tsk.”

He glanced at the bracelet on his wrist. Dou Fanrong was able to keep it from falling because of the function of the wings. Although he could not fly to such a high place as the canopy, it would play a role when he descended to the prescribed height.

Dou Fanrong shook off the sweat on his forehead, took out his dagger, and continued to climb.

“Dou Fanrong, how many did you get?!” He yelled louder because he was afraid that the other party would not hear him.

However, his friend was not as considerate as he was. He lazily replied with a volume that he could only hear: “Less than three thousand.”

Lin Zuo stood there blankly after not hearing anything for a long time. He felt his hands were a little itchy. Sometimes, his friend, Dou Fanrong, really deserved a beating more than his idiot brother.

The two finally gave up verbal communication and greeted each other directly by email.

Many professional players in the city-state decided to go out and find a way to pick fruit. Even if they didn’t know how to make medicine, it was still useful to use it when cooking.

On the channel of the same province, some people will share how they climbed trees without wings. After all, not every pioneer player has wings. Some players quit after playing for a while and boasted about how many resources they had.

For a while, the entire Long Province seemed to be caught in a gold rush, and some people were chattering on the channel that they had picked the tempered fruit, but it was very laborious.

In the game world, people set off after seeing what others did. Everyone paid close attention to every bit of resources around them.

There were also young ordinary residents with good physical fitness who were also jealous. In the end, because the wild geese hadn’t come yet, they decided to go out together and try to get fruits from the nearby trees at the city gate.

Old Man Zeng closed his stall and took his grandson and Zhuang Antong to watch the fun at the gate of the city.

Tang Yi only knew that there were good things outside. He raised his head and asked his grandfather with innocent doubts, “Grandpa, if only I could be like Uncle Zhuang in the future, I would bring you good things.”
