I rely on copies to build infrastructure

The next day, Qin Lu was woken up by someone pushing him.

He opened his eyes and found that the person standing in front of the bed turned out to be Dirty.

It was just dawn, and the mess had been cleaned up, and he was staring at himself.

"Time to work."

He rarely spoke up.

"I've already brought the water for you."

Qin Lu was taken aback.

Hey, it's so rare!

Dirty yesterday ran to hide when he had time, but today he took the initiative to go to work.

He turned his head and saw Xiao Ren on the other bed just sitting up.

Unexpectedly, early in the morning, Dirty is the most diligent.

"Aha-"

Qin Lu stretched himself.

"What's the recipe for today?"

"The layers of the cake are peeled off, and the butter sandwiches the red meat. The key message is cake, butter and red meat."

Xi Ren said.

"Oh," Qin Lu nodded, "That's easy."

He counted on his fingers.

"Chiffon cakes only need eggs and flour. We still have leftover flour from grinding yesterday, and bird eggs are not a problem, so the materials for making cake bases are ready-made."

"As for butter and red meat..."

He suddenly glanced at Dirty, Dirty had no time to hide his expression, he caught the anticipation in his eyes.

The little boy was very nervous and stammered.

"Soon... it's almost dawn, I... I'll go to the backyard to collect firewood..."

After speaking, he left the room with one hand and one foot.

Dirty, they really care about their cooking.

Qin Xiaolu rubbed his chin, exchanged a look with Xiaoren, and then suddenly said loudly.

"I think we are stable today! Making cakes is not a problem, but now the only thing missing is butter and red meat. In fact, it doesn't matter if you can find it or not."

"Anyway, we are eliminated at the bottom. As long as we don't have the lowest score, we don't need to work so hard today. Why don't we just take a day off and squat on the roof to hide from the snake tide."

After speaking, he heard a noise outside the courtyard.

First there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and then there was another cry of pain. It should be that Di Zun tripped over something and fell hard.

Qin Lu smiled.

Sure enough, as he thought, Di Zang is a classmate with a story, and he has some kind of unknown connection with this steam festival.

He knows the recipe and hopes that they will complete it according to the recipe. He is very concerned about the progress of the players.

Qin Lu discovered early on that although Dirty sleeps in the NO.17 store, he would secretly go to observe other players every day.

When they came back yesterday, the bunny girl and the blond girl came to talk to Dirty, but Dirty didn't tell them anything.

Dirty can't participate in the work of other players except for the NO.17 shop, so he gets up early in the morning to urge the two of them to work as workers.

"Do you really want to stop for a day?"

Xi Ren asked him.

"of course not."

Qin Lu shook his head.

But what he said before wasn't all lying to Dirty.

He had a discussion with Xiao Ren last night, and he felt that he should not be too prominent in the early stage.It's not time to fight head-to-head, and the limelight is too strong from the beginning, which can easily arouse the fear of other players.

And Xi Ren's reminder directly sounded a wake-up call for Qin Lu.

In this dungeon world, the wastelanders need what they make, they need it, everyone needs it.

They may inadvertently create certain benefits, and as players bound by the dungeon rules, neither he nor Xi Ren can resist the plundering of the original inhabitants.

It is almost predictable that once the wastelanders confirm the result, they will be controlled immediately, and the wastelanders will try their best to prevent them from clearing the copy normally, leaving them forever as slaves.

This is too bad.

The dungeon's bug hasn't been found yet, and he has to fight wits and courage with the NPCs in Wasteland City. He's just asking for trouble for himself!

So Qin Lu's strategy is to stay in the middle.

Materials still need to be found. After all, only the cake base is not enough to ensure that he escapes from the danger zone. He has to adjust his degree of completion according to the progress of other players.

However, the final product has to be lowered to make people in the wasteland think that yesterday was a bad luck, so it is necessary to dilute the interest in the No.17 store.

As for the players, yesterday he only scored 6 points. The winner was Boss Zhang, and it wasn't Store No. 17 that caught the eye.

After the end of last night, some players also came to inquire about the underground city.Qin Lu didn't want to hide it, and answered all of them one by one. Presumably, many people will go out to look for ingredients today, and the competition at night will be more intense.

"How did you guess that the top hat and the bamboo man are not in the same camp?"

While eating breakfast, Qin Lu asked in a low voice.

"Obviously you haven't spoken a word to them."

"Because no one told the consul that we actually did something weird."

Xi Ren picked up a wonton and ate it slowly before continuing.

"Don't say it, because it's too important, and I'm afraid that my opponent will find out first, which will damage my own interests."

"If we don't restrain ourselves, someone will attack us tomorrow at the latest. Power struggles are always like this, nothing special."

"Oh."

Qin Xiaolu nodded.

"So do you also have power struggles in the temple blessing world? Struggles for incense and the like sound complicated."

Xi Xiaoren immediately shut up, not wanting to speak.

He was too lazy to correct Qin Xiaolu's various misunderstandings about him. Anyway, the other party didn't care about what he said, and thought he was bragging.

But his judgment was infallible.

Power is something that makes people obsessed. Even if you are in a high position, you will still not be satisfied with wealth. Power lures people to keep climbing, and even take risks and betray their masters.

It's a pity that what I stole is not my own after all, not to mention the backlash, and I will return it back one day.

No wonder he didn't dare to show up.

After breakfast, the two embarked on the journey again.

Today's food street is much quieter than yesterday. Many players left the shop and went to the city to find suitable ingredients.

Qin Lu chose to explore the East City.

According to the map, Wasteland City is divided into two parts: aboveground and underground. Among them, he walked around the western part of the ground yesterday, but couldn't find anything that matched "red meat" and "butter".

"Hey, the exploration points we have accumulated are now enough to replace a circuit of about three meters!"

Qin Xiaolu said happily.

"Work harder and try to turn on electricity in the kitchen when I go back this time. In the future, I will use the induction cooker, oven, and range hood to improve the food, and I won't have to worry about eating seafood!"

"Also, as of this morning, the unlocking progress of the NO.17 store has reached 14%."

"However, 5% of the progress was made this morning. Dirty told us to get up, and I said "I won't go to work today". The progress bar fluctuated."

"However, I haven't decided whether to bring the NO.17 store back. After all, the store has no special features. At most, it will be a seafood stall. If possible, I prefer the sci-fi or fantasy style store."

"But Gou 8 said that all modules will be adjusted according to the actual situation. Thinking about it this way, the style doesn't really matter. It's just a building shape, and the inside is almost the same... Ah, maybe the sci-fi style can have its own circuit? Then After all, it can save the exchange money..."

Xi Ren walked silently aside, listening to Qin Xiaolu's chatter without saying a word.

He was quite used to the noise of the little servants now.

Qin Lu is very enthusiastic about Chestnut Island, and he likes to share various construction plans with him, because he sincerely regards that deserted island as his home.

However, the little servant's way of thinking is too jumpy, he will change or add new details from time to time, and then he will chatter again, which annoys Xi Xiaoren who is used to being quiet.

Fortunately, the little servant just spoke by himself, and never forced the audience to follow along with the interaction, and it was over after a while.

He didn't realize how amazing this idea of ​​"forbearance" was to him.

The noble Lord of Mysteries, the greatest all-knowing master of all realms, who even mentions his name will trigger the existence of spells. He has always only accepted the loyalty offered silently, but now he can "tolerate" the chattering of a servant. Haven't thrown him into the empty space rift for garbage collection...

Well, some poor working teenagers will never know what kind of history they have created.

All the way to the east along the Great Melting Pot Square, a gray-white mist gradually floated in the city.

In the wasteland city shrouded in mist, the visibility rapidly diminished, everything in the field of vision became blurred, and then was quickly engulfed in gray and white, and it became an impossible task to determine the direction.

"do not move."

Xi Ren suddenly grabbed Qin Lu.

He stared at a certain direction for a while, frowned slightly, and suddenly there was a horizontal knife in his hand.

Qin Xiaolu:? ! !

Qin Lu: "Where did you get this knife? Aren't weapons not allowed to be brought into dungeons?"

Now he wonders if Gou 8 opened the back door for Xi Xiaoren again, but since they entered the dungeon and now they are together, why didn't he find that Xiaoren also brought private goods with him?

"This is arcane."

Xi Ren said calmly.

"Same as the previous light chain, it is the embodiment of power, which is just right for dealing with things in the dense fog."

He stretched out his hand to look at Hengdao, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"It's a pity that the strength has not been restored, and it can only do so much. It will be much better when I get back the fragments on the bald head."

debris?

Qin Lu was taken aback.

"You mean Boss Zhang?"

Xi Ren nodded and gave him a "you're good" look.

"Not only Boss Zhang, but also his two companions."

Having said that, he paused, rarely showing a smile.

"I thought there was only one, but I didn't expect it to be doubled as a bonus. It was a surprise."

When he said this, Qin Lu immediately thought of one thing.

"Dog 8 system allows you to choose a copy?"

"No need to choose. Now that I am awake, the power that belongs to me will return to the body, and the people who occupy them will also be brought along."

"Just like what you said about gravity, wherever I go, they will appear there. If they can't control the power, they will be backlashed by the power sooner or later. This is the price they have to pay."

"It's just that I don't have enough strength right now, so I can only attract small fragments like Boss Zhang..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Qin Lu aside, and cut off a joint protruding from the thick fog with his backhand.

"Stay away, don't get in the way, things in the thick fog are coming out!"
