Chapter 16 A Rich Harvest
The moonlight was cold, but Xiao Jian's heart was hot in the iron cage.
He leaned against the big mouth flower, holding a stack of cards in his hand, and opened and checked them one by one as if counting money.
Among these 22 cards, there are a total of 8 ordinary resource cards with "crate" drawn on them.
Among the remaining 14 cards, 7 are purple mushrooms with a small nozzle:
╭───Servant card───╮
Small spray mushroom
Attack 1|Defense 0|HP 5
Placement: 0
Features:
[Plant] Cannot move
[Spray] Spray spores, causing damage to enemies within 3 squares in front.
╰─────────╯
In addition to [Small Spray Mushroom], there are 6 other cards with golden mushrooms:
╭───Servant Card───╮
Luminous Mushroom
Attack 0|Defense 0|HP 5
Placement: 25
Features:
[Plant] Cannot move
[Luminous] Can accumulate even at night
╰─────────╯
The style of the last card is a bit strange. The theme of the picture is a tree, but the bark of this tree is peeling off in circles:
╭───Servant Card───╮
Shedding Birch
Attack 0|Defense 0|HP 10
Placement: 175
Features:
[Plant] Cannot move
[Shedding] Sheds a [Complete Birch Bark] every day under sufficient sunlight.
╰─────────╯
Xiao Jian took this strange card and looked through it several times, but he didn't find any use for this [Complete Birch Bark].
It was not until he switched to the chess perspective that he saw a line of notes on the [Complete Birch Bark]:
Consume 100 and get a blank resource card.
Blank resource card! ?
So far, Xiao Jian has obtained two types of resource cards.
The first is the most common one with crates, which can be used to exchange for various resources.
The second is a mud block with grass, which can drive away the fog wall.
And the blank resource card...
It's just a resource card without a pattern? What's the use of it?
After thinking for a long time and still not figuring it out, Xiao Jian used the chess perspective to plant this [molting birch] directly next to the [sunflower].
The card disappeared, and after a short delay, a small tree less than half a person's height emerged from the plot.
Perhaps because there was no sunlight, this birch tree did not perform how to "shed its skin" on the spot, but like other plants, it gently swayed its body, as if it was in a good mood.
"..."
Forget it, I'll know tomorrow.
Xiao Jian planted the mushrooms as well, and then yawned.
He didn't sleep well last night because of the curly-haired Teddy, and he was tired all day today. He was nervous and excited before going to bed. The aftermath of the excitement has not completely subsided. Until now, his heart beats much faster than usual...
So, Xiao Jian stared at the bright moon with his eyes wide open, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
He had insomnia.
"Tsk..."
Xiao Jian rubbed his face, got out of the cage, found the flint and the shovel head, and made a ball of tinder to light the bonfire again.
Anyway, I can't sleep, so I'll drink some sweet rice soup.
Xiao Jian put the black "electric" kettle on the fire again, poured half a pot of water into it, and grabbed a handful of rice and threw it in.
After finishing these things, Xiao Jian fell on the sofa, looking at the crackling bonfire and thinking about things.
Just now, the excitement brought by the danger and the satisfaction brought by the harvest made Xiao Jian not think about the details of the attack just now.
Now that he was free, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the monsters that attacked just now...
It should be a pack of wolves that attacked him! But for some reason, it turned into a large number of zombies plus a werewolf.
Speaking of werewolves, Xiao Jian felt a little regretful.
Due to the emergency situation, he didn't even have time to check the attributes of the curly-haired werewolf, and he killed it in seconds with a pepper incendiary bomb.
Now thinking back...
"...It should be a BOSS, right?"
The more Xiao Jian thought about it, the more he felt that the werewolf was a BOSS.
Not only because of its high IQ and good drops, but also because it can actually command zombies to a certain extent!
Now thinking back, there were no zombie attacks all day yesterday. I'm afraid that the zombies that should have been "refreshed" were blocked by the curly-haired werewolf!
It wasn't until the evening that Xiao Jian was "impatient" with the noise that the curly-haired werewolf released the zombies to cover its sneak attack.
In this way, the IQ of the curly-haired werewolf must be quite high, otherwise he would not have come up with such a complicated attack plan.
Of course, it is also possible that the werewolf has no IQ at all, and everything is just a coincidence.
The bonfire is not heating up quickly, but the aroma of rice in the pot has gradually drifted out.
The firewood is not so dry, and occasionally it makes crackling sounds.
"By the way, which wave is this?"
Xiao Jian was absent-minded for a while, and then thought from another angle.
Because he suddenly thought that the frequency of the appearance of these zombies seemed to be regular.
For example, there were two waves of zombies on the first day, and two waves of zombies on the second day... except that the second wave of zombies turned into zombie dogs.
On the third day, there were no zombie attacks all day, but at night, more than 50 zombies came in one go, plus a werewolf suspected to be a BOSS.
From the number of more than 50 zombies, it is obvious that it is not just one group, but most likely two groups of zombies gathered together.
And the zombie dog, which was originally a curly-haired teddy bear, has evolved into a werewolf after two nights...
There are two inferences now:
One is that there is a fixed BOSS every 5 waves.
The other is that if a monster escapes, it will evolve over time.
"Huh..."
The rice soup is ready.
Xiao Jian poured himself a cup and continued to think about the problem just now.
If it is a fixed BOSS, it would be fine, but if it is the latter, it would be troublesome.
This small yard is so small that Xiao Jian can't even defend to the extreme, so how can he "not let anyone go"?
After thinking about it, the final solution still fell on fortifications.
Whether it is defensive fortifications or trap fortifications, they can't escape heavy physical labor.
"Ah..."
Xiao Jian finished drinking the rice soup and finally felt a little sleepy.
With unparalleled willpower, he climbed up from the soft sofa, got back into the cage, and lay down beside the plants.
The big-mouthed flower gently swayed its body, and Xiao Jian, who was leaning on it, also swayed gently.
The moonlight sprinkled on him, and Xiao Jian thought about when to build a stronger fortress, and then move the sofa and other things into it, so that he wouldn't have to lie on this cold and wet mud at night.
Thinking about it, Xiao Jian fell asleep unconsciously.
...
The next day, the sky was bright.
"Hiss..."
Xiao Jian covered his forehead and climbed up from the ground with a helpless look.
Yes, he accidentally touched the "unicorn" again.
Today, the mobile phone has run out of power, but fortunately he had found a makeup mirror in the office building before.
He took the small mirror to look at the bag on his head and found that it had begun to deflate.
Putting down the mirror and crawling out of the iron cage, looking at the small courtyard that had been dug up in a mess, Xiao Jian took a deep breath.
"Work, work!"
A good day starts with hard physical labor!
