Old Man Zeng’s lo-mei was the best, and he was also good at making Sichuan dishes.

Lu Jiu nodded her head: “Speaking of Uncle Zeng, the rabbit legs I bought last time are all gone. I will go to him to replenish them after I finish eating.”

When they go out to clear the fields, they will take out some meat and sell it to Old Man Zeng. For this reason, Old Man Zeng decided that they will get a 10% discount on all food at the stall.

After 9 p.m., the streets in Xuantian City were very lively. After a hard day, they went out to have a drink with their family and friends. Although there was no beer, there were several kinds of drinks.

[System prompt: The novice protection period ends, the update time will be from 22:00 on the 14th to 9:00 on the 15th, so stay tuned.]

A system notification made the city fall into a brief silence, and then there was an uproar. What was going on? Was this the game update mentioned earlier?

Players all over the world have seen this news. The main point was the novice protection period was over. Could it be that the next environment will be very bad?

Suddenly people lost their appetite to eat the food in their mouths. Who knows if they will still have leisure time after the game update tomorrow?

Lu Jiu only felt that it was finally here, and she could only make plans after the update.

But Zhuang Antong didn’t know what was going on: “Dad, what is the update?”

Zhuang Yun forced himself to smile: “It’s nothing, eat and sleep well, and go to the amusement park with Tang Yi tomorrow.”

Zhuang Antong nodded ignorantly, but she knew that the update was not a good thing.

At the dining table, only Zhuang Yun’s mood was affected, Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng still ate satisfactorily.

After waiting for Zhuang Yun to put his daughter to sleep, he came to the living room and sat down: “I don’t know what will happen after this update.” At this time, he covered his face with his hands, full of exhaustion and confusion.

Right now, he was a man in his thirties who were at a loss.

Lu Jiu patted him on the shoulder: “Why panic, you are a professional player. No matter what happened, surviving is not a problem, besides, we are teammates.”

Hearing such consolation, Zhuang Yun rubbed his face and raised his head, with some red marks on his face: “Actually, you are much stronger than me. I am lucky to be able to form a team with you.”

Shen Jufeng sat on the sofa next to him, crossed his long legs, and said lightly: “I feel that the update is not necessarily a bad thing.”

“I think so too. I always feel that there is something unreasonable in the current game world. Now that I think about it, it is a protection period, otherwise, more humans will die.”

For example, after the gamification of the world, as far as they know, some people who were originally suffering from diseases have been cured. Like those people with myopia and cervical spondylosis, they have been cured without medicine.

This was a good kind of benefit, after all, most of the diseases in the world they lived in before were incurable.

Also, from summer to autumn, they didn’t notice the change of seasons, and there was never a shortage of food. Perhaps the game didn’t want too many people to die, and it needed to ensure that most people could survive.

Even the wild monsters that appeared at the beginning were only of ordinary level, and the human win rate was high in real fights.

Not to mention the city-states that emerged later on. They directly served as human’s safe zone where they can live stably.

Thinking about it, Zhuang Yun thought it was indeed the case.

“Anyway, we will know what the update will be tomorrow. Today we all have a good rest. No matter how much we think about it, we can’t stop the update. It’s better to accept it.”

Lu Jiu was fearless, and Shen Jufeng himself was powerful, and he was not afraid of these things.

In Jinghe District, Li Aoting and other people who had already sensed that something was wrong heard the news and felt that the test had finally come.

10. The new power will come again after each global beast siege.

Finally, please try your best to survive, I wish all humans on Earth good luck!]

Seeing the last sentence, all human beings couldn’t help but show their middle fingers.

Now after reading the updated content, everyone realizes how beautiful their living environment was. Especially since they were from Huaguo. Seeing that the food has a shelf life, they almost want to cook everything.

Fortunately, the shelf life of food in the game world was much longer than that of the Earth Era. For example, the shelf life of harvested rice and wheat was at most six years in the game world.

For the newly fresh-cooked food, the shortest shelf life was one week. Fresh food such as meat and vegetables have a 6-month shelf life, and the storage period at low temperatures was longer. Everyone was relieved to see this.

Generally speaking, the residents in Xuantian City were fine, they were not so panicked. Everyone’s lifespan has been extended. Except for the old people who have entered old age, the lifespan of players of all ages was at least a hundred years old.

Suddenly having a lifespan of two or three hundred years, human beings don’t know what mood they should be in.

The next thing to pay attention to was the beast tide, and also the new power upcoming after the global beast tide. Last time, the new powers were light spots. How many people envy professional players? This shows that many people still have the opportunity to become professional players.

Lu Jiu received a mail sent by the system to the city owner, which said that only the city owner could see the new products in the city-state shop. She has the authority of the city owned and can directly open the shop to check.

Indeed, new products have been launched.

[Basic city-state protective shield: Protect the city-state against the beast tide, can defend against 100,000 wild monster attacks, regardless of level, disposable item, priced at 10 gold coins.]

Seeing this price, Lu Jiu wanted to point out her middle finger to the system. One-time activation cost 10 gold coins. Opening a new shop was more cost-effective than this.

The only good point was, no matter what level of wild monsters attack the city-state, it was the same. 100,000 times seems a lot, but who knows how many wild monsters will besiege the city by then.
