Chapter 156: Pyrethrum Level Up
Go to the dock for some french fries: [I’m really fed up, using prop cards to send anonymous messages to trick people, are you psychologically twisted?]
More than one or two people got hit, they didn’t dare say before, the other party sent false messages anonymously, they didn’t have anonymous cards.
Some thought why use their own unlucky to let others step on the mine, so they never revealed the message.
Now seeing someone speak out, suddenly many people who were tricked appeared, all cursing anonymous player on the public screen.
Liuliu Dashun: [You dare believe what anonymous player says, you’re also stupid, better reflect on yourselves first.]
Player 2877: [Reflection monster get lost, can you guarantee you never make mistakes? You’re so awesome, why isn’t your name on the leaderboard? If you got tricked you’d jump up early, talking from the sidelines is easy.]
Jie: [I got this damned debuff because of this, didn’t run from the monster, now stacked another bleeding, health points almost gone, is there a healer who can save me? Saving a life is like doing good deeds.]
Aladdin Nerve: [Whoever knows anonymous player’s info, as long as it’s real, can give reward, on the road happened to encounter the plant in the picture, light screen couldn’t scan it, afraid to miss it, ended up]
This one is seventh on the combat power leaderboard, yet couldn’t resist curiosity to try it.
Messages sent with anonymous card, except for the other party’s own people, others have no way to know who it is.
Taking advantage to muddle through, reporting enemies’ nicknames, there are some, more than one.
Can’t find the person, this loss can only be eaten by oneself.
Everyone seeking healers, those quoting prices to come out charge not low, healers are too fragile early on, attack low too, not many can survive.
Taking orders for healing, then getting ambushed on the way happened a few times, everyone got more cautious.
Detox pill price rose three or four tenths now, still hard to buy.
Yu Jiang walked out from kitchen sink countertop, took out the remaining three fertilizer cards, this can level up plants.
Used two, pyrethrum flowered.
[‘Pyrethrum’ has leveled up, triggered surprise effect: Snakes and insects won’t invade within vehicle, harvest after mature, carry on body, insect repelling effectiveness period: 24 hours.]
One fertilizer card left, not enough to level up golden skin tree, Yu Jiang plans to keep it first, see what medicinal herbs are needed later.
Status appeared on pyrethrum: [Good (protected), harvestable]
Termites and various moths flying to the light outside the window instantly all fled, some still outside front windshield.
Can only protect inside vehicle, front windshield outside too far, but no big problem, as long as they can’t get in,
In a bit pull the obscuring curtain behind driver’s seat, light from back won’t leak out, they’ll fly away themselves.
These winged insects, most troublesome is the quantity, some carry toxin on body, don’t need to bite to make people get hit.
Pyrethrum harvest once only randomly gives one or two flowers, 72 hours later can harvest again, and only if its status is good.
Output efficiency lower than furious blueberry, blueberry in insulated cover, every two days gives over a dozen edible fruits, reduce fatigue value once.
Yu Jiang looked at the two pyrethrum flowers just obtained in space grid, thought for a bit, sent one to Shi Xu.
Insect bite paste scroll is very valuable on rainforest map.
Shi Xu prioritizes giving her scrolls and dropped supplies from toxic monsters, of course she’ll first give useful things to Shi Xu.
X: “Thanks, but where’d the pyrethrum come from.”
“Picked up on the road.”
X: “.6”
She really can pick up anything.
Yu Jiang took out an antibacterial summer quilt, replaced the previous quilt, started washing machine, washed the clothes changed these two days.
She only wearing a pure cotton thin long sleeve, sat back at dining table, when not moving not so muggy,
But rainforest environment not comfortable either, plants too dense, not ventilated, sticky feeling all over can’t be shaken off.
Yu Jiang as usual opened trading platform, listed processing for insect bite ointment, pain relief powder.
Then checked game area trading market.
Quick-drying clothing, hiking short boots more expensive than during heavy snow, insect-proof supplies only basic window screen materials, mosquito coil, insecticide spray all none.
Wholesale King Wang Defa told her, supplies bought from raccoon supermarket last time, her own team not enough, the one or two portions squeezed out given to combat power teams with good relations, no extras to list.
Ointments she processed for them too, once listed someone grabs to buy, no matter how strong the player, entering rainforest still gets bitten by insects first.
“That alchemist called Sicily contacted me, proposed cooperating with our merchant caravan, to raise prices on survival essential supplies, new clean clothing, vehicle built-in refrigerator, these things only considered after survival, press their prices down.
This way, regular players for survival have to sell good things in hand cheaply.” Wholesale King Wang Defa sent another message.
Yu Jiang: “He’s pretty ruthless.”
Wholesale King Wang Defa: “I didn’t agree, we’re merchant caravan, combat power not strong to begin with, do this and everyone will shout to beat us to death, the scissors you want to borrow sent over.”
Yu Jiang: “Received.”
Got scissors, Yu Jiang measured hair length, snip right away.
After health value upper limit improved, her hair volume not as worrying as when just arrived, top of head grew quite a bit of loose hair.
Short hair actually hotter, unless buzz cut, many players without conditions to wash up do that.
Yu Jiang has bathroom has domestic water, no need, still left length that can be tied up.
After using the scissors and wiping them clean, she immediately returned them.
The teammates in the team channel, just like the players on the public screen, were forced by the phototactic insects to grope in the dark and hide inside the vehicle. The unluckiest was still Sad Pig Intestine,
who had just put down the sky curtain, turned on the light, and said to make something tasty, when a swarm of insects came pouring in. Yu Jiang lent him the electric mosquito swatter, and a smell of scorched paste mixed with stench wafted out.
Looking again at the swarms of insects flying chaotically under the light, multiplying the more they were hit, with crackling sounds, the rhythmic swinging of the electric mosquito swatter—it was a complete rainforest disco.
The more they hit, the more there were; he really couldn’t handle it, so he hugged the pot and ran back inside the vehicle, his expression bewildered and helpless, with several insect wings still stuck to his body.
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy: “I couldn’t help but use my skill. Guess what? It actually worked—they were stunned by the suona sound. I even got an achievement ‘Insect Band Conductor’.”
Purple Butt Can Do It: “When out and about, you still need to have a craft! If only I’d properly learned the violin back then. Big Intestine, are you okay?”
Sad Pig Intestine sent a completely black picture, along with a voice message,
“I can’t see anything. Can’t cook tonight. We’ll cook during the day from now on. Once there are fewer insects outside, I’ll light a mosquito coil and go out to collect things.
It’s too terrifying. Swing the electric mosquito swatter once, and scorched insect corpses mercilessly drop on my face. Used Sister Jiang’s insect bite cream—no allergic reaction.”
In this scene, even with enough firepower, they’d have to hold their heads and flee.
Their team had medicine and mosquito coils; they just didn’t react at first and quickly stabilized. They pulled up the blackout curtain inside the vehicle and dimmed the lights to the lowest, which was still okay.
Outside on the public screen, it was total chaos, everyone shouting to turn off the lights and asking for medicine.
