When Old Man Zeng heard his grandson’s words, he felt extremely at ease: “Grandpa will be relieved if you live a good life.”

His main goal now was to save enough money while he was alive so that his grandson would not have to worry about money when he was gone.

Groups of professional residents passed by them, including young ordinary residents.

Tang Yi remembered that Uncle Zhuang was a professional resident and was not in the city at this time.

“An-An, will your father go to climb the tree to pick fruits?” Tang Yi asked Zhuang Antong, who was standing next to him.

“Probably, I’m afraid those monsters will come suddenly.” She just hoped that her father would come back soon.

Tang Yi was very sensible. Seeing her in a bad mood, he patted her head like a brother. He had seen Uncle Zhuang pat Zhuang Antong’s head like this before, and Zhuang Antong would laugh every time.

Sure enough, Zhuang Antong smiled at him as soon as he comforted her like this.

Seeing so many people outside, some ordinary residents who were worried about the wild geese and wild monsters were relieved. They decided to go out to collect food. Even if the wild monsters did come, those professional residents would not ignore them.

Just like that, the fields outside the city also became lively, and everyone went out to collect. Although many wild monsters were about to arrive, there was no tense atmosphere in the city, and it was as lively as a festival.

When Tang Yi saw others going out to collect, he also wanted to go out and do something. He shook Old Man Zeng’s hand: “Grandpa, I also want to go out to collect vegetables.”

They have already stored enough grain, and most of the excess was sold cheaply to professional residents they know who only pick vegetables.

Old Man Zeng looked at the two children and knew that they wanted to do something for the family, but he still refused: “No, there are enough vegetables at home. Just stay in the city these few days and don’t let Grandpa and your Uncle Zhuang worry. ”

The two children looked at each other and then nodded.

Autumn has come to an end. At this time, various residents of Xuantian City have stored a large amount of food. Going out to collect more now was just for peace of mind.

This lively fruit-picking activity did not end until the evening, and only a few people returned to the city.

Lin Zuo and Dou Fanrong each picked more than 10,000 tempered fruits this afternoon, which was enough for them to use for a long time.

It was almost dark, and the members of their team gathered together, while other teammates talked about their harvest.

A fat teammate was leaning on his teammate’s shoulder, his face full of exhaustion: “Damn, I only picked more than a thousand fruits this afternoon.”

This can’t be blamed on him. It was really difficult to climb a tree. If it weren’t for the game settings, his hands would probably be dripping with blood by now.

The teammate who supported him rolled his eyes: “Who made you so fat? Your arms are like a bear’s arms that shouldn’t be borne at this age.”

“Hahaha!”

Other teammates laughed, but their gains were not as much as this little fat man’s. They were all about the same.

“Our captain and Brother Dou are still fierce. Climbing trees is like walking. They can climb up a tree for a short while.”

One teammate recalled seeing Dou Fanrong’s crazy behavior that afternoon and continuously slapped the arms of the person next to him: “Hey! I also saw Brother Dou’s ferocious operation this afternoon. He jumped directly from one tree to another. What a man!” Then he gave a thumbs up.

That heroic appearance would make any man fascinated by him.

The two protagonists they were discussing also came over. Now everyone was sweating profusely and looked quite embarrassed.

Lin Zuo sat by the campfire and asked: “How was your harvest today?”

Everyone started to report how much they had harvested. Just give an approximate amount. His team was not interested in handing over resources for reallocation. Whoever had the ability would get more for the more work.

Dou Fanrong was playing with a dagger on the sidelines and was not interested in their conversation at all.

However, the teammates also had a tacit understanding and did not ask about the situation of the captain and Dou Fanrong. Anyway, they would gain more than them, so asking about it would only hurt them.

Lin Zuo can become the captain because of his strength. He and Dou Fanrong take the lead every time they fight against wild monsters, and the final blow against wild monsters also relies on their abilities.

“Do you want to go back today or continue picking here?”

As he spoke, Lin Zuo looked into the distance and saw the light of a fire burning, indicating that someone was also in the wild and had not returned.

“Captain, we have decided to stay here. Who knows when those birds will come, so we might as well pick more as soon as possible while there is no impact.”

Lin Zuo just nodded: “Okay, just be careful in the wild, and don’t separate too much. At least, you can support each other when something happens. Remember to contact me via email as soon as possible.”

“I got it, captain.”

“Yes, yes, of course, I’ll contact you first.”

Lin Zuo and the others had a simple dinner here and then continued to pick fruits.

Lu Jiu raised her head and glanced at the sky. The moon was high, and the stars were shining. It was foggy during the day, but it was so bright at night.

Due to the illumination of the moon, they could see their surroundings clearly from the top of the tree canopy.

[Shen Jufeng: Come and gather at this coordinate. Zhuang Yun is already making dinner.]

After receiving the news, she immediately headed to the coordinate location. Wearing her wings which was much faster than walking.

After arriving at the coordinate location, she saw two tents already stationed.

Walking into the tent, the two teammates were silently looking at each other and doing their own thing. Zhuang Yun concentrated on cooking, while Shen Jufeng stared at the tempered fruit in his hand.

Seeing her coming, they greeted her one after another.

“You’re back.”

“I’ll help you set up your tent.” Shen Jufeng said as he put away the fruits and stood up.

They each carried their tents, which were very convenient to open, but her teammates were such gentlemen.

Shen Jufeng helped her set up the tent, while she went inside. And when she came out she could smell the delicious food.

Lu Jiu’s stomach made a clear growl. She hadn’t heard this sound for a long time. At this moment, she felt that she was still as alive as before.

Shen Jufeng chuckled: “Are you hungry?”

He was also surprised by this sound. Even after the previous major update of the game, various functions of the human body were restored, he never heard this kind of hungry gurgling sound.

Lu Jiu’s face was a little hot: “This is a normal reaction. I’ve been so busy today that I didn’t even take the time to drink a sip of water.”

She exercised quite a lot today.

“Are you okay today?” Shen Jufeng asked her in a gentle tone.

Lu Jiu hesitated and didn’t hear an answer for a while.

Feeling strange, he looked up at her.

“Is something wrong?”

Lu Jiu nodded, then shook her head again.

Shen Jufeng was not in a hurry and looked at how awkward she could be.

“How should I put it? I ran too far today and almost reached the city-state next door. Fortunately, I came down to walk at that time and met people from other city-states. However, we had a tacit understanding and avoided each other. To keep a low profile, I walked to a tree, and sneak into the canopy.”

Because of this, she ran away frequently this afternoon. To avoid the embarrassing situation of seeing other people when she entered the canopy, she ran further away.

Shen Jufeng raised an eyebrow and said: “It’s okay. Zhuang Yun and I also encountered other people, but as long as they don’t attack, it’s fine. We won’t go back today. We will work more secretly overnight.”

Tonight, they could see the surrounding environment clearly from the canopy, but it was different under the trees.
