Now another mail from the captain of the team came. The whole mail was hoping that she, the city lord, could solve the food problem.

Although Li Aoting was a pioneer player and had gold coins, thinking that there were still many places where money will be used in the future, she was not willing to buy a large number of supplies.

Even most of the supplies needed by the shops were collected by their team.

She didn’t know how to collect things like grain. They were all around the city-state, and there was a lot of grain collected from a few plants. She thought it was useless to buy it.

It was only now that she understand that the city lord has no storage capacity, and there was a big crisis if something happens.

Not only her city-state, but Yao Bingan, and others were also in a similar situation. Now they were trying their best to appease the panic of the residents, as well as the inner unhappiness of professional players.

Because of this, the members of her team were not very willing to go out to clear the field but went to collect food outside the city with the life-skill players.

Fear can spread. Everyone always felt that the world will be more dangerous after the game was updated. It was better to have food to ensure that one cannot be hungry.

Because of this, even though they knew that the Black Scorpion had spawned on Pingjing Mountain, they were reluctant to fight together for the time being.

At Wu City.

The professional teams saw that there were only a few stalls selling things, but they were not food, but some people with blacksmith skills and tailor skills were selling their items.

Although they were members of the city owner’s team, they have already told Yao Bing’an that they must go outside to collect staple food these days, and the field clearing will be slow.

Cheng Yunshi went out of the city to collect food with her brother and Team Leader Xiang. It was still early in the morning, but many people have already left the city, most of them were life-skill players.

She was a little worried about the current situation: “Brother, let’s go out and clear the fields after collecting enough food.”

Cheng Yunhong patted his sister’s head: “Well, but you also know that the more we collect the better. Let’s go out to clear the field after collecting these two days, and get more meat for the winter.”

After speaking, the team fell into silence, and Team Leader Xiang didn’t know what to say to encourage their teammates.

There were not many grain fields around Wuyu City, but thousands of people gather at the same time, so the supply was not enough. Even if it was autumn, the grain will be refreshed every day.

They went to a location a little further away. There was still a field where there were not many people, and a group of people dispersed to collect silently.

Cheng Yunshi was in the same area as her elder brother, suddenly, there was a faint sound of disputes in her ears. These kinds of disputes were prevalent these two days. There were few supplies, but there were many people.

City Lord Yao Bingan, like Li Aoting, had never thought of purchasing grain as a reserve before. She has no persuasive power at all to stabilize the residents’ emotions.

After collecting for a while, Cheng Yunshi found that the quarrel was getting louder and there were more people, so she couldn’t help but look up to see where the quarrel was.

The source of the quarrel was a grain field away from them. The quarrel was a group of life-skill players, not young, while the opposite was a professional player.

Cheng Yunshi recognizes those people, they were all in the same city-state, so even if they were not members of the same team, they were familiar.

“Brother, they are arguing over there, is it okay?” Cheng Yunshi was usually very good at going out to clear the field, but she was a little uneasy about the disputes in the crowd.

Cheng Yunhong straightened up, seeing that the quarrel over there seemed to be getting more and more intense: “Forget it, it was from another team, and we are just members of the city lord’s team.”

Taking care of this matter may cause suspicion. Now everyone’s emotions were very irritable, and they can explode at the slightest trigger.

Cheng Yunshi has no choice but to continue collecting with his brother, but still pay attention to the situation over there.

After a while, she saw a middle-aged woman in the crowd of life-skill players who was very excited and went straight to fight a certain professional player.

She was startled. How could this be done? The two types of players were not the same starting point at all, even a professional player without skills can easily defeat a life-skill player.

The professional player that the middle-aged woman was about to attack raised her hand and put a sword in the opponent’s throat.

After a pause for a few seconds, the scene became even more intense. The middle-aged woman pointed at the professional player and yelled, “What can people like you do with supernatural powers? You bully ordinary people like us!”

Pointing at her with a sword, the professional player frowned slightly. It was obvious that this aunt wanted to strike first. There was nothing wrong with him restraining the other party. “If you don’t attack me, I won’t attack you.”

The Aunt was at a loss for this, and then she burst into tears, “It’s because you are robbing us of food. We, ordinary people, can’t go out to fight monsters like you, we just live on these foods. You can get a lot of meat from fighting monsters, but you are snatching our food. You are not giving us a way to live!”

The Aunt cried louder as she talked as if she had been wronged by the sky, and she was afraid that the opponent’s sword would cut her throat, so she didn’t dare to sit on the ground.

The man frowned even deeper: “We also need food like rice, we can’t just eat meat. We used to trade meat with you, the price is fair, and no deceit, why can’t we collect food now? You collect these foods, but you are not willing to sell them to us? We had no choice but to do it ourselves.”

He tried to eat only meat before and then found that there was a warning of nutritional imbalance in the person interface, as if even though their bodies were transformed, some conditions were still the same as before, and balanced nutrition was needed to maintain the body’s operation.

What the man who pointed at the middle-aged woman with the sword said made sense, but the two sides still quarreled, and no one give in to the other. The professional player took back his sword later.

In the end, an old man stood up and said: “Okay, this world is just a little bit better. It’s not easy for everyone. Let’s give in to each other. It’s impossible for us to only eat rice all winter. There must be meat, young man, when I go back, this old man will exchange meat with you for any food you want.”

The man just nodded, “Thank you, sir.” As long as the other party speaks well, he will not be unreasonable and do something bad.

However, the Aunt was still not happy: “You can exchange if you want. Although we are not as good as these people at fighting monsters, we can kill a few of those ordinary monsters with a few people, and there will be no shortage of meat!”

After hearing this, several people on the professional player side looked ugly. It was true that killing ordinary wild monsters have them a chance to get meat, but the probability was not as high as that of brown iron-level wild monsters, and the quantity was just a few kilograms. It can’t be compared with hundreds of kilograms at every turn.

The old man’s expression was not good: “Don’t take things so badly, can you compare the meat you get from hunting ordinary monsters with them? The food you got these days is at least tens of thousands of catties. The shelf life is so long. You can’t eat them all even 2 or 3 winters.”

The old man was telling the truth. Life-skill players can harvest many staple foods, far more than they need.

The Aunt shouted at the top of her throat: “Don’t say we can’t finish eating if you can’t finish it. There are so many people in our family and we all have to eat. Why can’t we get more food!”
