Lu Jiu was bored watching the chat channel when a piece of news suddenly caught her attention.
[Li Shen: Can you believe it? I went to Baiguo Grove to pick fruit by myself and met that black pig BOSS. I almost got myself killed. Fortunately, the shoes I bought were fast enough.]
Looking at this news, Lu Jiu couldn’t hold back her saliva. She had been thinking about the fragrant and delicious black pork, but she didn’t expect another one to appear in the Baiguo Grove.
She ran to the door of Shen Jufeng’s room and knocked on the door. It took a while for the door to open, and there was a puff of water vapor in front of her. It turned out that this guy had just finished taking a shower, and he opened the door with a towel around his waist, and his firm and tight upper body could be seen at a glance.
“What’s wrong?”
Lu Jiu only paused for a moment, and then regained her excitement: “Do you still remember that big black pig? There is another one in Baiguo Grove!”
Gosh, she can collect a lot of black pork again, the more delicious food, the better~~
Shen Jufeng frowned slightly: “I don’t think another one appears, it should be refreshed, just like in the game, the system can refresh the boss to appear again.”
The black pig boss should be inherent in Baiguo Grove, it was just he doesn’t know if the refresh time was fixed or random.
Lu Jiu suddenly realized that he was right, the big black pig had only been dead for a few days, so it was unlikely to be its offspring.
“Then let’s go again, this time if we hunt, we can sell the pork.”
Shen Jufeng was a little surprised that she was willing to sell pork. He didn’t quite understand her brain circuit.
“Are you not going to sneak attack?”
The other party was a little distressed when she heard the words: “That’s right, if I sell the ones obtained from the sneak attack, isn’t it considered telling everyone that I did it…”
Shen Jufeng was glad that the city lord’s thinking was still functioning normally.
“Let’s go straight this time and don’t hide. With the experience of last time, everyone will search the surroundings carefully, and there is little chance of black hands.”
How could that group of people make the same mistake?
“It’s a pity…Fortunately, a batch of new weapons has been launched, so let’s use them to fight monsters then.”
After the opening of the city-state store, Lu Jiu collected materials by herself and asked the blacksmith to forge a bronze-level bow and arrow.
Shen Jufeng went back to the bedroom to put on clothes, but he was still talking through the door: “We can’t use legendary weapons. The siege of the boss at that time is pure luck. It doesn’t matter if you can’t get it. You should just accumulate experience and not rely too much on artifacts.”
At least one must have experience in fighting monsters. Judging the blood volume of wild monsters according to the general situation, using skills proficiently, the more you know, the more you can grab the final blow.
If they rely purely on the instant kill of artifacts, they may have no problem killing low-level wild monsters, but what if they encounter wild monsters with higher and higher levels in the future? At that time, the vitality of wild monsters must not be comparable to that of ordinary wild monsters.
Lu Jiu said: “I understand what you mean, so I have been practicing hard with new weapons these days.”
“Well, but I will find a way to get the black pig.” He also likes black pork.
Shen Jufeng had already changed when he came out, which was a simple white T-shirt and knee shorts.
Lu Jiu recalled that there was a familiar name in today’s resident registration, “Also, people from Phantom City came here to check in again, but this time, they brought their family members with them. I suspect they are here to settle down.”
“I know. I saw it when I went out of the city in the morning. I heard that the city lord of the Phantom City is not kind. He asked to recruit people but didn’t even give a penny, so those men came here.”
Lu Jiu was amused when she heard it: “Hahaha, the city lord is so stubborn. Anyway, the team in our city has stayed for several days. This old man surnamed Wen has worked hard without credit.”
This was simply pushing the residents out, and the ones pushing were still professional players, what a talent.
Shen Jufeng recalled the ethos of the Phantom City that the person revealed and felt that it would be a matter of time before the residents moved out.
“The location where their city was established is not very good. The city lord uses his identity to rob resources of the residents and squeeze their living space. You just wait, many people will migrate to Xuantian City.”
Lu Jiu felt for the first time that the pioneer player was not invincible. Look at the city lord of the Phantom City, a typical land-rich man, who doesn’t consider the sustainable development of the city-state at all.
Does he think he was the only one who have a city on the map?
“It’s not urgent. Let’s stabilize the city first. There is no permanent resident yet. Fortunately, the task rewards of the second-level city-state have a basic bonus. Otherwise, I feel that the future is blurred.”
“What is there to hurry? Now you meet the most powerful bosses at the normal level. It’s uncertain how much boss reward you can get in the future.”
These words did not comfort Lu Jiu, she could imagine how difficult hunting the boss would be in the future. Or perhaps, life would get better after passing a hurdle.

The only one who was willing to come to Xuantian City with Brother Wen was the female teammate, A’Liu. He has already foreseen this kind of result. After all, it was difficult to decide in a short period, but Brother Wen believes that he will meet those former teammates in the future.
The nicknamed A’Liu was given by the female teammate by herself. She has a younger brother in the family. Her parents value sons over daughters. She was dispensable at home.
The most correct decision she made in life was to use the profession card and skill card by herself. For this reason, her parents regarded her as nothing, but A’Liu was used to it.
Her parents were unwilling to go to Xuantian City this time because her younger brother had just joined the relatives of the city lord. Her brother felt that if he worked harder, he would be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy food.
But they didn’t want A’Liu to leave either, so in desperation, A’Liu left all her savings to them, which was considered to be the end of the family relationship.
On the way out of the hostel and out of the city, her parents cursed loudly behind her, as if A’Liu was their deadly enemy.
Fortunately, copper coins were not hard to earn now. A’Liu and Brother Wen killed wild monsters on the way to earn their living expenses.
Mother Wen felt that the atmosphere was completely different from that of Phantom City when she entered Xuantian City.
Even if people only collect materials and go to the mission hall to exchange for copper coins, people can still survive by themselves.
Coming to Xuantian City was indeed right.
The Boss of Baiguo Grove has been refreshed and several nearby city-states know about it. This time, Zhuang Yun was going to see it, even if he is just watching from the side.
Thinking that he would go out for a long time tomorrow, Zhuang Yun went to the food stall to buy some food for his daughter.
Old Man Zeng’s rabbit legs were sold out of stock before, but now they were selling small snacks made of grain.
“Mr. Zeng, give me two taels of popcorn, some crispy rice, and five pieces of pumpkin pie.”
“Okay~”
Old Man Zeng quickly packs the snacks. Now, the grandfather and grandson don’t go out to clear the fields, they use the materials collected around the city to make snacks, and they sell well.
Popcorn and crispy rice were made by Old Man Zeng rice, while the pumpkin pie was made from the pumpkin growing nearby.
“A total of 10 copper coins, here.” Zhuang Yun handed the copper coins to Old Man Zeng.
Old Man Zeng took the money and asked: “Are you going to the Baiguo Grove too?”
Many people went there recently, and he thought that Zhuang Yun bought so many snacks today to coax his daughter to go far away.
“Yes, there are two teams in the city. It’s safer to go with more people. I also wanted to go out and see it. There are all kinds of fruits over there. It’s not a loss if I pick some back.”
Old Man Zeng understood. Usually, there were not many people who go to the Baiguo Forest. Those who only know life skills like him don’t dare to go by themselves. This time was a good opportunity.
