Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

As long as you die and regenerate, all the weird debuffs will be cleared.

It is equivalent to only 50 alliance coins to clean up all the toxins.

It feels like a good deal.

Chapter 160 The Exiles' Conspiracy

The fact that three backpackers came to the gathering place did not attract the attention of many players.

After all, they didn't issue any tasks, nor did they bring any important news.

Yu Shui and others who had not returned home all night finally updated the post they posted on the forum at this time.

This post was written by Oxygen.

"At four in the morning, the ten-man group suspected to be rebels packed up their belongings and began to leave north."

"We immediately followed them and briefly checked the remains of the camp these people left behind, but we didn't find anything special, just some leftover animal bones and some excrement."

"Brave Morning Dew shut off his sense of smell and stirred the feces with a branch. He then and there came to the conclusion that these rebels probably didn't eat much vegetables, so they were likely suffering from hemorrhoids."

"So, if the gathering place can develop a hemorrhoid medicine, it will probably make a lot of money!"

"As for the vegetable production here, we can see from our environment that the further north we go, the fewer normal plants there are."

"The entire ground was a strange gray, and the plants either turned a dark, eerie purple or simply the same gray-black color as the ground."

"I experimentally picked a few edible-looking plant branches and leaves and simply boiled them in water. Regardless of the taste, I lost dozens of drops of blood anyway, so I guess most of the plants are not suitable for human consumption."

"So I came to another advanced conclusion: I can make a lot of money selling vegetables here!"

"Then we followed the ten-man team out of Area 1 marked on the map."

"One thing to mention here is that Area 1 is mostly covered with weeds and shrubs, with a few poplar-like trees scattered among them. The density of demons is quite high, but there aren't many low-level demons, so it's quite suitable for hunting."

"But remember to bring more water, the water here is quite hard to drink."

"Then we followed those ten people to Area 2. There were fewer plants here, and without these natural cover, we had to increase the distance we could follow them from."

"Luckily, the terrain here is relatively open, and Brother Shui got two telescopes from somewhere before he set out, so we won't lose anyone."

"It was around 5:30 in the morning, and the sky was beginning to get light. We had walked more than ten miles in Area 2 when the rebels encountered another group."

"Unfortunately, there was no conflict between the two sides. Judging from the decorations, they should be from the same camp. After a brief conversation, the two sides separated again. I also carefully counted them. The other group also had ten people. They left in the east, and their destination is unknown."

"However, it can be basically determined that these rebels operated in groups of ten. As for the ten people who died earlier, the cause of death remains unclear."

Oxygen's posts stopped here, probably they are still tracking the rebel group.

All the spectators rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible, including the only stupid planner of this game - Tang Yi.

He was still in the room thinking about the version update, but Xiaoxing reminded him that the five players who had gone to the demon-occupied area before had posted a new post, so he immediately opened the forum and clicked on the hot post that was firmly at the top.

Kegel Assistant: Have you lifted your Kegel today?

Phantom Tank: Daily Anal Lifts for a Healthy Chrysanthemum!

Gugu: By the way, can we team up and go to the demon-occupied area to kill monsters? My sword has been thirsty for a long time!

Yu Wenbobo: Well, I suggest not to come here in large numbers now, otherwise it will alert these rebels and it will be difficult for us to escape.

Maimen Yongcun: It's okay, you think too highly of us. Most players don't need to go there to spawn monsters yet.

I'm Not a Traitor: So you only encountered these two rebel groups? After walking dozens of miles, you only saw this small number of people?

Phosphorus Pentoxide: What do you think? Otherwise, why is this place called the Demon Occupied Area?

Tang Yi nodded slightly.

What Oxygen said is correct. Even if there are exiles in the demon-occupied area, the population density is very low.

However, we encountered three groups of refugees a few dozen miles away from Yunshan, which was a bit unusual.

You have to know that there are Yunhe troops nearby, so there will naturally be no refugees. Moreover, because the mountain roads are rugged, no goods can be transported from Yunshan to the demon-occupied area.

So why are these exiles coming here?

It can't be that they are going to attack the patrol troops of the Yunhe Army.

While rubbing Xiaoxing's head, Tang Yi repeatedly read the speeches made by Yu Shui yesterday and Oxygen today.

"Xiaoxing, give phosphorus pentoxide, Yu Wenbobo, and Fat Tiger..."

Soon, just a few minutes later, a new task suddenly popped up on the task panels of several players far away in the demon-occupied area.

[Story Mission: The Exile's Conspiracy]

[Mission Description: Exiles who betrayed humanity wouldn't easily appear near the border of Yunhe Town, so there must be some hidden conspiracy.]

[Quest Conditions: Find out why these exiles came to Yunshan]

[Mission Reward: 150 Alliance Coins, 200 Military Rank Points]

【Whether to accept the task】

……

Wang Yi and the other two didn't know that because they killed a group of rebels, so many things happened as a result.

They were eating the red-head carp that Wang Yi bought from the morning market.

However, because Fang Xin was not very interested in fish, while Gu Yu and Wang Yi were eating the fish head, she turned around and studied the medicine in the wooden box.

Although the stall owner said that these medicines were not defective products, when traveling abroad, one should always adopt the attitude of "question first, then question again" for anything imported.

She used a clean bamboo stick to gently dip a drop of 'mana recovery potion', put it in her mouth, and tasted it with her eyes closed.

There was no sour or astringent feeling when it entered the mouth, the liquid was smooth and not sticky, there was no burning sensation in the stomach, and the "qi" in the body also increased slightly.

Then she raised the glass bottle above her head and looked at the liquid inside in the sunlight.

Crystal clear, without impurities.

"It's really a normal medicine." Fang Xin muttered softly.

Although the efficacy of this bottle of 'Resilience Water' is slightly worse than that made by the Chamber of Commerce, and the craftsmanship is not as good.

But as long as it is really effective and has no side effects, it is enough to make many people who wander outside the town all year round take out the air stones in their pockets without hesitation.

"How is it? Is it true?" Gu Yu asked Fang Xin while drinking the fish soup in the bowl.

Although he did not go to the morning market with them, when he saw Fang Xin coming back with a big cloth bag, he naturally asked about the situation as soon as possible.

"real."

Fang Xin carefully put the medicine in his hand back into the wooden box.

Then he stood up and looked at the gathering place not far away, then turned back to look at Wang Yi who was holding the pot and drinking soup.

"Uncle Wang, when are we going to go find these people to replenish supplies?"

"I want to talk to their leader."

Chapter 161: Quite scientific?

"Are you sure this thing works?"

After [Favorite Black Beautiful Legs] handed the melted copper plate to [I'm Not a Traitor], he watched him drawing something on it with a knife. He had been drawing for more than ten minutes now.

I even made a mistake in the middle, and now I'm drawing it a second time on the reverse side.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry."

Erwuzai carefully drew the last two strokes first, then covered the copper plate with a piece of paper placed next to it. After making sure that the patterns on the two roughly overlapped, he nodded with satisfaction, then looked up at Ah Tui and said.

"This is something I specifically asked Engineer Song for. She said it's called a lighting array, and all the lighting equipment in Daxing City uses this thing."

After saying that, he put the drawing aside, took the copper plate in his hand, and began to inject strength into it.

"Now is the time to witness a miracle!"

In the end, he hadn't even put in much effort...

"Den!"

Just like when some older electric lights on Blue Star were turned on, the copper plate also made a crisp sound, and then the lines flashed twice, and then emitted a dazzling light on the spot.

"Wori!!"

Ah Tui narrowed his eyes with a very distorted expression, and he even covered his eyes with his hands.

NMD! This light is too bright! !

My eyes are going blind!

And the traitors are not much better.

He was immediately blinded by the light, but fortunately, he subconsciously reduced the movement of his hands to output strength, and the light immediately became much dimmer.

At least it is bright enough for the human eye to see directly.

"call--"

Ah Tui breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately took his right hand away and looked carefully at the copper coin in the traitor's hand.

This thing is really bright.

Then he looked up at the traitor's eyes and asked curiously, "How much strength are you using now? A lot?"

"not much."

Erwuzai looked at his personal panel and then felt the "qi" in his body.

"It's only been used for two points now."

As he spoke, he waved the copper coins around.

"I feel like this thing can also be used as a flashlight. It gives a lot of light and consumes very little energy."

Ah Tui also nodded slightly.

Generally speaking, things that need to run for a long time consume more energy when starting up, but it is not so difficult to maintain them later.

“That really works.”

He was overjoyed and immediately picked up the paper that Erwuzai had placed on the ground, and blew away the dust on it.

He looked as if he had found a treasure.

Just now, when he saw the lines light up, he felt a distinct sense of sluggishness, which must have consumed a lot of extra energy.

After all, this drawing was hand-drawn by Song Lian, and the patterns on the copper plate were hand-carved by a traitor based on the drawing, so the error must be very large.

If the production process is industrialized after multiple adjustments, it is estimated that the energy consumption can be further reduced.

Moreover, the cost of this thing is not high, just a copper coin, and the selling price in the warehouse is less than 30 Alliance coins.

I made a lot of money this time!

Because most of the houses in the settlement are made of wood, Xia Keyu considered that it was not safe to use torches for lighting all the time, so he issued a task to "develop lighting equipment" some time ago.

At that time, the first thought of many players, including A Tui, was to make an electric light.

But they soon encountered a problem.

no power.

Because there are more convenient energy sources in this world, there is no concept of "electricity". Without electricity, there will naturally be no such thing as a generator.

If I can’t get a generator, I can’t make one myself.

As a result, the mission quickly came to a standstill.

As a result, no one expected that the key to this mission actually lay with another NPC.

"Oh, by the way, did Mr. Song mention investing in technology?" Ah Tui looked at Erwuzai while holding the blueprint.

"No." Er Wuzai shook his head, "She didn't say anything."

"When I went to see her, she seemed to be researching new weapons. After hearing my question, she drew this picture for me."

“I didn’t say that…”

Ah Tui nodded slightly, it seemed that he would have to make another trip later.
