When they saw the deputy captain and others, the flying geese were close behind them.

The deputy captain recalled their behavior of throwing fruits: “At that time, there were wild monsters that were about to catch up with us. Some people couldn’t stop their attack, so they tried throwing a few tempered fruits, but the wild monsters didn’t chase us.”

He Ange stood up suddenly and looked back at flying geese who were attacking the protective shield frantically. Others didn’t know it, but he clearly felt that the number of attacks the protective shield could defend was decreasing rapidly.

If this continues for a few minutes, he will have to replace the protective shield, which will cost him gold coins.

He had a small amount of assets before the end. On the day of the end, the system prompted him to exchange his assets, but he disagreed. The gold coins were only those he could get by playing games.

The deputy captain felt a little uneasy. Did they do something wrong by throwing the fruit to protect themselves?

“Don’t think about anything else now, deal with these wild monsters first, and pray that they leave on their own and continue southward.”

He Ange suspected that the reason why these flying geese stayed was because of the temper fruit. They found no food on the giant tree, but the people they chased easily threw the tempered fruit away.

It was not difficult to imagine that these birds think they still have the tempering fruit on them.

The deputy captain hurriedly stood up and said to the other teammates who were lying on the ground: “Everyone with strength left should go to the front to help.”

Everyone got up in scattered pieces, while someone secretly asked beside the deputy captain: “Deputy captain, shouldn’t we have thrown those fruits?”

After all, no one has ever said that many flying geese surrounded the city and refused to leave.

The deputy captain pursed his lips and said: “Hurry up and do the work. There is no time to discuss this now.”

With no choice, everyone gathered together and ran to the city gate to help. Fortunately, the city gate was big enough to accommodate many people standing in a row.

Most of the ordinary residents hiding in the dormitory opened the windows and looked outside. They could directly see the city gate.

Seeing the clouds of flying geese, everyone was afraid.

“What a sin, we hid in the room and did nothing else, and these people provoked so many wild monsters back.”

“There is a protective shield. Let’s hide in the room and don’t go out.”

At the city gate, everyone tried their best to control and kill wild monsters. After five minutes, the number of defense shields dropped to three digits. He Ange gritted his teeth and spent money to refresh the shields.

After about half an hour, the flying geese continued to attack but failed to obtain the tempering fruit. Most of them began to abandon this place and continued southward.

Seeing the flying geese leave, the professional players who fought were relieved. They were really afraid that these wild monsters would not leave anyway.

He Ange was heartbroken. During this half-hour, he refreshed the protective shield more than a dozen times. These flying geese were numerous and attacked frequently. One peck at the protective shield was considered as one defense against an attack.

When the battle was over, some people looked for their relatives.

Some people couldn’t find their relatives in the city lord’s team. They surrounded the city lord and wanted to ask where they were.

“My daughter is with you. Why I didn’t see her when the others came back?” The speaker tightly grabbed He Ange’s sleeves, fearing that he would run away.

“Yes, also my son.”

“My son hasn’t come back either!”

He Ange frowned as he listened to their cries: “I was not in the wild when the wild monsters came. I was still handling matters in the city. You can contact them by email first.”

His words reminded them, and the people surrounding He Ange began to be distracted by sending emails to their children.

As a result, a wail broke out from the crowd after a while.

The owner of this voice was sitting on the ground, her face full of disbelief, muttering: “Why did the transmission fail? Why is my son’s name darkened?”

“I sent it…my daughter replied, saying that she was hiding in the wild, and she was fine, wuwuwu——” The mother cried out, and the happy expression on her face was in sharp contrast to the previous one.

He Ange was also shocked. He believed that someone died in the wild, but he didn’t expect that someone could survive.

Hearing the middle-aged woman say that the names were darkened, he flipped through the list and found that the names of his team members had been darkened.

Everyone who plays games will understand that the lighted name indicates that the person is still online, and the darkened name indicates that the person is offline.

In the game world, does it mean that the person dies?

Thinking of this, he pushed through the crowd to return to the city lord’s palace but was stopped by residents who had lost their loved ones.

“You can’t leave! You are the city lord. My child followed your team. How come everyone can come back alive, but he is dead!”

This mother has lost her mind. Her son died outside like this, how could she not feel sad?

When the mother and daughter who were observing the situation in the dormitory saw this situation, they were not only glad that they were fine but also felt a sense of sadness in their hearts.

“There are professional residents who have separated from the city lord. We can leave with them next spring.” The mother and daughter spoke.

Her expression was relatively calm, while her daughter’s expression was more complicated.

Everywhere the flying geese passed was chaos, but this was none of Lu Jiu’s business.

After a few days, Xuantian City returned to calm. Everyone continued to go out normally. The remaining flying geese outside the city were quickly dealt with. After all, they were all resources.

Zhuang Antong became a little more energetic after being comforted by Zhuang Yun these days, but when she saw the child again, her eyes became much firmer, which was a good sign.

The tempered fruit given to the drugstore manager has been used to make medicine. The potion Lu Jiu produced was almost twice as effective as the potion sold before.

She walked lightly to the pharmacy shop.

The pharmacy shop now has a special counter. The products sold here were all potions refined by adding tempered fruit. The sales were very hot after they were put on the shelves the day before yesterday.

She came to the counter and picked out one to check the effect.

[Pailai Pill: After taking it, the player will immediately recover 25% of the total physical strength.

Price: 0.2 silver coins]

[Muqi Pill: After taking it, the player will immediately recover 30% of the total blood value.
Price: 1.5 silver coins]

[Red Blood Pill: After taking it, the player’s attack value will increase by 15% immediately, lasting for 1 minute.

Price: 0.4 silver coins]

Since the addition of tempered fruit, most of the medicines in this counter turned into elixirs, unlike the previous water-based medicines and the types were also more varied.

In the past, medicines simply increased energy, blood, and physical strength, with the special feature of removing negative status. Nowadays, these medicines, such as the Red Blood Pill, can increase attack power in a short time.

The sales price was no longer hundreds or thousands of copper coins, it was now basically priced in silver coins.

After all, many residents can now obtain silver coins, and silver coins have begun to circulate.

“Store Manager, how many tempered fruits did the elixirs put on the shelves these days cost?” Lu Jiu asked.

The number of pills sold in the past few days was in the hundreds if not thousands. Only then did she realize that the professional residents in her city-state were quite wealthy.

Some ordinary residents came to buy one or two to keep just in case.

“492 elixirs, consumed 15 tempering fruits.”

Although Lu Jiu didn’t know exactly how the pharmacist made the potion, when she heard this data, she still felt that the utilization value was quite terrifying.

Elixirs were more valuable than water-based potions, and they were sold at a base price of 1 silver coin. Except for the pharmaceutical raw materials that were purchased from the store manager at a high price, she picked the tempered fruits herself, which cost no money.
