Chapter 109
"100,000, you can rent it. I live in District 2. If you live closer to me, I can increase the rent. I need two."
"I need three, I can rent them, the price is negotiable. I don't accept the owner catching them, and all the insects inside are mine after the rental. The price is up to you."
"Hey, you rich guys, you really know how to have fun."
If you can't bear to demolish your own land, then rent land from others.
I have an idea.
Some people reserve their places in advance with their neighbors, but if there are many wealthy people nearby, there's nothing that can be done. Living close by makes it convenient to move around; you can find your neighbor after searching in one area, reducing commuting time.
"I'll grow my own incense, family, look at me! (Picture)"
This player is very resourceful. He gathered a lot of young bamboo shoots and piled them up in his yard, especially the bamboo shoots infested with insects, which he dug up by the roots and planted in the yard. He didn't catch any of the first batch of insects, leaving them all to reproduce freely.
After the second wave, capture some and leave others to continue reproducing and attract other insects.
In the picture, the player's territory has no bamboo house, and the tools are all left in a small corner next to the dwelling. There are tall bamboo pillars all around, and the area is surrounded by a fence covered with netting.
It's impressive that they could use a mosquito net from the princess's room to enclose such a large area.
The tent was covered with adult bamboo worms. The adult bamboo worms were very beautiful, with bright red shells and stripes, somewhat like gemstones.
This move impressed other players, who exclaimed that he was very skilled.
"Wouldn't it be a loophole if we count it as something we raised ourselves?"
"Right, didn't Qingfengyi say that the purpose of catching bamboo worms is to maintain the health of the bamboo forest? The ones you raise yourself don't count, right?"
Lin Shuying hadn't really thought about this issue; she had simply put it in as a one-time task item. The intelligent system matched it with reasonable logic, seemingly incorporating the logic from raising sheep.
If a player raises a pair of sheep, a male and a female, together, there is a 30% chance that the sheep will become pregnant and give birth to lambs.
After Zhang Zhongxia discovered the loophole, he asked Lin Shuying if she wanted to make adjustments. Lin Shuying thought for a moment and said, "Linwei, lower the score for players raising their own insects by a few points and raise the score for capturing them in the wild by a few points."
Wei Linwei: "Won't this cause a data imbalance?"
The items you exchange for won't appreciate in value, but earning points will become easier, and you'll have points left over.
Lin Shuying laughed and said, "Spending money is much easier than making money. We can just put some items available for redemption with points when the event ends."
Everyone eagerly asked, "Boss, what props should we stock?"
Lin Shuying said with a mischievous smile, "It's a secret~ Hurry up and get to work."
The employees dispersed, and Lin Shuying began to think about the points redemption issue.
In dress-up games, creating outfits is, of course, the most important thing.
Why not make two sets of clothes as first-class exchange items, with each set worth 100,000 points? Are you worried that players won't be able to use up all their points?
We will also make some special bamboo furniture as a limited edition.
There are many bamboo furniture and artworks in the game, but there are even more bamboo furniture pieces that can be crafted.
Make some more jewelry...
While everyone was busy catching bugs, one player spotted a panda!
These adorable creatures are truly adorable; a single glance can last a thousand years, leaving an unforgettable and irresistible impression.
There's a general rule that pandas are most likely to appear in areas with less than 20 acres per person, less likely in areas with about 10 acres per person, and extremely unlikely in areas with many people.
The materials collection area is now very quiet with very few people around.
The player came in to collect materials and heard light footsteps. Following them, he saw a giant panda squatting there eating bamboo shoots.
Pandas are obtained through luck, with a very low drop rate. Coupled with the limited number of players in a given area, they are even harder to encounter.
You can get 50,000 Bamboo Fairy favor points by catching bugs in two or three days, but pandas are really hard to come by. Once you do encounter one, the strategy isn't too difficult. The player's panel shows that this panda likes white jade bamboo shoots, emerald bamboo shoots, purple bamboo shoots, and green bamboo shoots.
A white bamboo shoot increases favorability by 10 points, a jade bamboo shoot by 5 points, and a purple or green bamboo shoot by 1 point.
You also need to buy pet invitations to give to the pandas, otherwise a different panda will appear next time. With so many pandas dropping, without a location tracking system, even if the Lucky Princess comes along, you probably won't be able to win them over.
Once you receive the invitation, you've essentially reserved this panda. You'll easily encounter it if you consistently visit the usual spot. This panda won't accept other players' attempts to challenge it during the invitation's validity period; the player must attempt to challenge it within three days.
This isn't a problem for players; it's just a routine task.
Each panda requires a different level of affection; once the affection level is reached, it will show little hearts, indicating its desire to go home with the player.
The player hurriedly memorized the area information and surrounding environment, and even tied a red ribbon to the spot. Only after looking around and confirming that no one was nearby did he feel relieved.
After buying the invitation from the store, I searched my backpack but couldn't find any bamboo shoots!
There wasn't enough time to search now, so he anxiously posted purchase requests in the chat channel, and many were also listed on the task board. The prices were quite high: three thousand gold ingots for a white jade bamboo shoot, one thousand gold ingots for a jadeite bamboo shoot, and five hundred for a green bamboo shoot.
Some players who were just working were a little confused, but the price for this task was a bit high, so it was considered a good task.
In the game "Qingfengyi," many players make a living by selling items; they really enjoy these "high-roller" quests. One such quest is worth several others.
Next, go find bamboo shoots. If you find the right spot, you can dig up more than fifty shoots in an hour.
Hamster players love this kind of material quest, and immediately traded the bamboo shoots from their backpacks over.
Players who spotted the panda were anxiously waiting beside it, fearing that other players might intercept it halfway.
After receiving the bamboo shoot, he carefully handed it to the panda. The panda stared at him for several seconds before taking the bamboo shoot and starting to eat it. This bamboo shoot was much tastier than the bamboo shoot in his hand; he couldn't resist it.
The player was staring at it intently; it was so cute.
The panda here is different from the panda that delivered the mail before. That panda was cartoonish and much cuter. This one is very sturdy, looks fierce, with big black eye circles, a round head, and short black arms.
It looks like something you'd want to take home!
The panda was eating bamboo shoots, and the player's notification panel kept showing that the panda's affection level was increasing. He gave all the bamboo shoots to the panda, but after giving it too many, the panda only wanted the white jade bamboo shoots and started to become picky about food.
The rest, no matter how you stuff them, are not needed.
When the panda got annoyed, it stared at him with its big eyes, and the interface displayed: "The panda is full, the panda is full..."
Come again next time, come again next time...
The system notifies you when the panda is full, and a small notification pops up above its head when it says it'll come back next time. It's surrounded by rings of bamboo shoot and leaf effects—it's adorable and sparkly.
The player almost burst out laughing and cautiously reached out to touch the panda's furry head.
"Ahhh, so soft~"
It looks like a very tough and fierce pet, but it feels soft and fluffy to the touch.
The panda looked at him with its small eyes, puzzled. After a few seconds, it moved its bottom, got up, and walked away.
After walking a few meters, the special effect of turning into a clump of bamboo leaves disappeared. The bamboo leaves were bright green, illuminating the surrounding dim bamboo forest.
The player was stunned for a moment, then went back to collect bamboo shoots.
He wants to conquer many pandas!
After the panda left, the player turned around and was surprised to see a baby panda!
"Ahhh, Qingfengyi really knows it!"
The designs are all so cute, beautiful, and adorable!
Pandas are a formidable weapon, and so are red pandas!
They have similar dark circles under their eyes, but they are much smaller, you could probably hug them.
He was already imagining what it would be like to ride a panda and hold a baby panda; he would be so happy.
The little panda was hiding behind a giant bamboo grove, tilting its head to look at him. The player was completely charmed.
The red panda likes purple bamboo shoots, ivory bamboo shoots, and black bamboo shoots, but he doesn't have any of them in his backpack, nor does he have an invitation!
He slapped his forehead. "We should have bought several hundred invitations."
So they went back to buy invitations and bought three hundred at once.
Although the invitations are not expensive, each one costs fifty gold ingots.
He's a casual player who enjoys exploring the game, browsing gossip, and picking up clothes and items whenever he feels like it. So he hasn't spent much money on in-game purchases, except for player home decorations and incense offerings for the God of Wealth.
Offering incense to the God of Wealth can get you a black tiger, all furry, hehe.
This time, he also had something he desperately wanted: a panda!
He wants to raise a whole bunch of pandas!
He'll keep his black tiger company, and when the time comes, he'll clear out his brightly decorated garden and use it for the furry creatures to roll around in, while he sits on the roof watching them play.
I want to die happy!
If it were during Lin Shuying's era, he would have discovered that Lin Shuying was an extreme plush toy fanatic, hahaha.
Composing himself, he quickly posted a task to buy bamboo shoots, only to find hundreds of tasks on the task board seeking to buy bamboo shoots. He paused for a moment, then realized something was wrong.
We quickly returned to the spot, and sure enough, the red panda had been reserved.
The player was still there, dressed in a flowing purple fairy dress. She was a female player, and she was teasing the little panda with an ivory bamboo shoot in her hand.
The little panda already had a reservation tag on its head, but the female player didn't notice someone coming from behind. It was only when the little panda became alert that she turned around and saw the player punching a bamboo stalk.
The bamboo swayed twice, startling me.
Are you alright?
The male player gave a stiff smile and said, "It's nothing."
He then went over to collect his red ribbon and prepared to leave.
First, find bamboo shoots, then look for the little pet.
Otherwise, if you find food and run back to find it, only to have it stolen by someone else, it's really upsetting.
The female player exclaimed, "Want to team up and find bamboo shoots?"
She didn't have many bamboo shoots either.
Since the pandas were first discovered, everyone kept quiet and made a fortune, not revealing a single word. If it weren't for the bamboo shoot purchase request being posted on the task leaderboard, very few people would have noticed.
Everyone was busy catching bugs, and only a few hamster enthusiasts and encyclopedia players had bamboo shoots, which they sold immediately.
The price is really shocking, it's extremely high.
Who knew it would surge tenfold!
Those who sold early regretted it terribly.
The bamboo shoot digging team kept growing; people were bored catching insects, so they all went to dig bamboo shoots.
As they dug, news of the pandas leaked out, causing a sensation.
It turns out that some curious people went to inquire about the situation, and initially, the players who were asked all said they wanted to find someone to cook for the God of Cookery. However, there were just too many requests; even if you ate a hundred or eighty meals a day, you wouldn't be asking for this many.
Look at the task list, the minimum purchase amount is 500.
What idiot would buy 500 kilograms of vegetables at once?
Under the intense pressure from a group of gossip experts, the affair between the panda and the red panda was exposed, and the price of bamboo shoots instantly increased tenfold! A large number of players flocked to various areas, wandering around everywhere, whether it was the material area or the residential area.
"Ahhhh, I have to give Qingfengyi a thumbs up this time, and the designer a thumbs up too!"
"I agree. Finally, the messenger character has become a romanceable character. I love it."
"Wait a minute, didn't the Flower Fairy deliver a letter before? Qingfengyi has made the letter-delivering character a romanceable character for the second time. How far are we from having more romanceable letter-delivering characters in the future?"
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
........
Over there, the first player to obtain the Bamboo Fairy has appeared!
That was Deng Yijun.
Sister Xunmei, Wang Nianzong, Deng Yijun, and several other wealthy young men and women they knew from the Weaver Girl Star all lived in this area. When the special effects appeared, everyone's eyes were glued to that beauty.
The Bamboo Fairy has two genders and three styles, all of which are quite different.
The three outfits have different affinity requirements. The first one requires 50,000 affinity points. Once you accumulate 50,000 affinity points, you'll be prompted whether to redeem it. If you choose to redeem, you'll be able to select the gender, and later you'll be prompted to accumulate more affinity points to redeem the other two outfits.
Deng Yijun decisively chose to exchange, as he was very curious about what he could get in return for the goodwill he had accumulated over five days.
I haven't even had time to work on the pandas lately, I'm focused entirely on the bamboo fairy.
He exchanged for a female bamboo fairy, and the moment he did, a gust of wind blew open the door of the bamboo house.
He stepped out and saw a commotion in the bamboo forest in the distance, followed by a long, arrow-like shockwave. A figure carrying a bamboo umbrella painted with peonies on its blue surface walked towards him, stepping on bamboo.
At first, it was hard to see clearly; the face was hidden under the umbrella, and the person was hidden in the bamboo grove.
Only upon closer inspection could one clearly see that he was wearing a light blue Taoist robe, the same color as the umbrella, consisting of an outer robe, a middle robe, and an inner robe. The outer robe was light blue, the middle robe was an even lighter blue, and the inner robe was white. The inner robe had a slightly higher collar, which revealed the wearer and made him look very energetic.
However, the flowing light-colored outer garment makes her appear elegant, carefree, and unrestrained, as if she were flying above the bamboo forest, like a fairy descending to earth, floating like a phoenix.
Her hairstyle was simple, loose hair, adorned with a jade-carved bamboo leaf headband. On either side were emerald-green auspicious cloud wings, encircling her long, dark hair, with a few jade tassels trailing behind her head, each adorned with a velvety bamboo leaf. Several scattered beaded curtains swayed around her, made of tiny sapphire beads and decorated with small gold leaf pendants.
As the bamboo fairy flies, a bamboo leaf flutters and a small pendant sways, appearing somewhat mischievous.
The moment she landed, bamboo leaves flew around her, creating a terrifying scene.
The bamboo umbrella deftly closed, transforming into a steel-blooded bamboo sword in his hand. The scabbard was carved from bamboo, revealing a slender sword inside, its cold luster and sharp edge gleaming through the openwork.
It's a bit dazzling to look at.
Upon arriving at the bamboo house, she didn't go in, but instead knocked on the door and said politely, "Qing'er has come as summoned to serve as a guest of the master. May I open the door?"
