Lin Zuo recalled that the city lord had only appeared once so far. He was still unfamiliar and had never been seen in the city. It seemed that he had used props. It seemed that this city lord had more than one false information.

Lin Zuo said: “After that, we never saw the city lord named Ying Bairong appear in the city again. I don’t believe it’s not false information.”

“So what.” Dou Fanrong felt that it was good not to expose his identity, at least he didn’t have to be pestered by so many residents in the city.

Lin Zuo snorted. His bad friend kept trying to undermine him: “If we can find this city lord, it will be quite a sense of accomplishment.”

Having said that, his eyes searched for Lu Jiu and the others among the many people. In any case, these three people were too suspicious. They were the last people they saw returning to the city.

Moreover, those wild geese followed them closely. Either the three of them were the first to see the wild monster, or they were overtaken by them on the way.

If they were the first to see it, it would be easy to remember that when the city lord sent the email, they did not notice the arrival of the wild monster.

Seeing Lin Zuo’s excited expression of eagerness for knowledge, Dou Fanrong just turned around calmly and went back to the city by himself. His friend was like this, always taking pleasure in revealing other people’s secrets.

It was like this before the end. Lin Zuo was so hated in the circle that there was nothing he could do about it. After all, his family background was there.

Even after the end of the world, he still doesn’t change this bad habit. Is he not afraid of being slapped to death by the city lord? Although he thought that the city lord had a very gentle temper, the deputy city lord was not easy to mess with.

Zhuang Yun immediately returned to the city to find his daughter after killing the wild monster. At this time, Zhuang Antong’s face was covered with tears.

After finding his daughter, Zhuang Yun found that she did not continue crying and was hiccuping. Seeing him, she immediately hugged his neck tightly. He knew that his daughter was frightened today.

“Good girl, don’t cry. Dad won’t be going out these days. How about staying at home with you?”

When he was wandering around in the past, Zhuang Antong had never seen how they dealt with wild monsters, but those wild monsters had low health, and he would activate his profession and skills, so it was not very difficult to kill them.

The strength of those wild monsters today was different from a few ordinary-level wild monsters gathered together. They will die if they are not careful.

Zhuang Antong didn’t say anything, she just buried herself silently on her father’s shoulder. She cried for a long time and was very tired now.

Zhuang Yun touched his daughter’s head and thanked Old Man Zeng in a low voice: “Thank you so much for today. If you hadn’t held her back, and she had run out, I will…”

What will he do? He’ll be scared and panic, thinking that wild monsters might hurt his daughter.

Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng also came over and stopped next to Zhuang Yun. Neither of them spoke, they just patted his shoulder and said: “Have a good rest.”

These days, they decided to study the role of the tempered fruit in the city, and winter was approaching, so they had to go out to obtain resources in just a few days.

“Winter is coming soon. Lu Jiu and I have decided not to go out until winter. As for what happens after winter, it depends on the specific situation.”

Zhuang Yun nodded: “Okay, it just so happens that I have been thinking about opening a store recently. I have collected a lot of things and want to open a small store so that more people can buy An-An’s things.”

They have talked about opening a store before, and now they are all official residents and have the authority to open a store.

“I invite you to go to the hot spring club together when you have time.” Lu Jiu said and glanced at Zhuang Antong and found that she had fallen asleep. It seemed that she was too tired.

She raised an eyebrow and pointed at Zhuang Antong. Shen Jufeng also noticed that she was asleep: “She is asleep, take her back.”

They said goodbye. Before leaving, Zhuang Yun gave Old Man Zeng a 32-slot backpack as a thank-you gift. Old Man Zeng did not refuse. The child was all asleep now, and if he argued on the road, he might wake her up.

Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng came to the pharmacy and handed a tempered fruit to the store manager.

“Store Manager, can this fruit be used in any medicine?” Lu Jiu asked.

The store manager lowered her eyes and looked at the fruit, but the corners of her lips curved. This was the first time they had seen the store manager smile.

“It seems that you have gained a lot, but the flying geese will remember you as people in this area.”

The flying geese, were called like this, but they have different levels.

Shen Jufeng seemed to have thought of something: “Is it because there are a lot of fruits here that we picked, so the wild monsters will have specific hatred towards us?”

The store manager returned to her cold goddess look: “They are quite special. They are born in the north and migrate all the way south. They need to eat tempered fruits to supplement and improve their physical fitness on the way so that they can have the strength to reach the south.”

As for arriving in the south, Lu Jiu thought that they would be killed by the people there. This should be the setting of these wild monsters in the game world.

In any case, they were just trying to grab the tempering fruit from them.

“What about this fruit?” What Lu Jiu cared about most was this.

“It can increase the success rate of potion refining, and also improve the function of the potion. If it is ground into powder, it can also improve the quality when added to food. After eating it, the attribute value can be increased higher, the HP and stamina can be replenished, and many more.”

Anyway, this was good.

Shen Jufeng asked another question: “Can a fruit only improve the function of a potion?”

The store manager shook her head and turned the tempered fruit in his hand with her fingers: “With my talent, the utilization rate of a tempered fruit is about 99.9%. I can’t specify how many bottles of potion will there be, but I will try not to waste it. As for pharmacists with low talent, their utilization rate of tempered fruit will be very low.”

The two of them understood what she meant. Lu Jiu thought inside her mind that it was fortunate that she chose an NPC with high-level talents.

“Then I will give you three thousand tempering fruits first. When you use them up, you can tell me.”

The store manager stretched out her hand, Lu Jiu put her hand on it. The three thousand fruits were quickly transferred. She gave these NPC supplies either by taking them out directly and letting them collect them themselves, or by passing them hand-to-hand like this.

She collected more than a thousand tempered fruits by herself. Having wings was so convenient, and it only took her a few seconds to move to another tree.

The store manager: “So, do medicines made from tempered fruits need to be put on the shelves for sale?”

“No need for the meantime. As for other people giving their fruits and asking you to make them specially, just follow your mood and do whatever you want. By the way, if someone sells you this tempered fruit. How much do you think it’s worth?”

She wanted to open an acquisition window, she was already used to it, and she would accept any resources.

“20 gold coins.”

Hearing this price, Lu Jiu felt that Colorful Spider Silk Thread would probably cry. It could also add bonus attributes, but its maximum value was only 2 silver coins.

“Okay, then get busy first. We’re leaving.”

The store manager watched them leave and looked at the tempered fruits in her storage space. 20 gold coins were the price she set on the premise that she could make full use of these fruits. If there were pharmacists with low-level talents, the purchase price would probably be higher.

The flying geese left Jinjiang District, and their next stop was other districts, including Jinghe District. Fortunately, someone warned them, and the residents here were prepared.

Li Aoting received an email from He Ange in Xuantian City, asking her about the level and scale of flying geese. She gave a rough summary of it.

She also returned to the city-state today at the reminder of the city-lord and later joined the battle. Those flying geese felt like ants to her. Although most of them were very small individually, it was a bit troublesome to deal with them together.
