Chapter 193: Whack-a-mole
"Hey, Master Leo, you want to stay in the city?" Jia Zhengjin was called over by Alvin, and suddenly heard what Leo said, and suddenly felt surprised, "No problem! Absolutely! There are so many empty spaces in the outer city that you can build houses." Are you willing to use the magic of the light system to help me fight?"
"I'm sorry!" Leo shook his head, "if that resident of the city is sick or injured, I can treat him." However, the matter of joining your forces and fighting for you is not negotiable for the time being!"
Jia Zhengjin was not disappointed by the rejection, but was very happy: "Right for the time being, right? It means that it won't be like this forever, right? Then there is still hope! I'll shoot some kobold craftsmen right away, Master Leo can find a favorite place in the outer city by himself, and let them help you build a house together!"
Master Leo is staying, and that's excellent news!
Jia Zhengjin coveted the ability of this priest, and if he was there, the number of casualties in the army would not be so great! Even if it was cannon fodder, kobolds and soldier bee Ruruto, it would have to be bought with gold coins! If this money could be saved, it would be used in other places to accelerate the development of the city!
Now he is only going to stay, and it is possible to heal the villagers. There will definitely be a chance to subdue him in the future and let him fight for himself! No matter how bad it is, you can also send some clever children to him, maybe he can be accepted as an apprentice, learn the magic of light, and use it for himself in the future!
"Keane!" was rejoicing when he saw his little wife Tina trotting all the way over in a panic.
"What are you doing?" Jia Zhengjin looked at her suspiciously.
"Hurry up..... go to the farm! Hurry up, ......" Tina breathless.
"The locusts are here again?!" Jia Zhengjin immediately became nervous.
"No...... It's not!" Tina shook her head hurriedly.
"What the hell is going on then?"
"You...... Bring people quickly...... Go ......," Tina said, gasping for help.
Seeing his wife's appearance, Jia Zhengjin hurriedly asked people to call Zhuoma, Moses, and 1,800 city guards who surrendered. Rushing to the farmland together.
When I arrived at the farmland, I found that the crops that had been green and full of vitality under the careful care of the villagers were now in a mess...... It's a miserable word that can be summed up!
The villagers were angrily hoeing and fighting the giant otherworldly creatures that looked like gophers in the countless huge potholes in the farmland, with only one head exposed.
The villagers have limited combat effectiveness, but the giant gophers don't seem to be very powerful. Although they have destroyed the farmland, they have not harmed a single villager. Because their movements are so slow, the villagers can easily avoid attacks.
The problem is that the villagers' hoes are also in vain for their hard skin. The two sides are just deadlocked, pointlessly attacking each other.
Seeing the destruction of farmland like this, although Jia Zhengjin had never planted any crops himself, he couldn't help but be angry, and immediately ordered loudly: "All pay attention, whack-a-mole!!"
After receiving Jia Zhengjin's order, Dolma and Moses immediately joined the battle with only the city guards.
The city guards are different from the villagers, and the difference in combat ability is too great!
The gophers that the villagers can't shake, but the heavily armed city guards can do a lot of damage. Among them, equipment and skills play a big role!
Jia Zhengjin was not idle, and immediately put on a tiger mask and took an iron spear to join the battle.
【NEWS】Dolma has eliminated the blind gopher, and you have gained 20 experience points!
Moses eliminated the Blind Gopher, and you gained 20 XP!
【NEWS】The City Guard Dutt has eliminated the Blind Gopher, and you have gained 20 XP!
【MESSAGE】You have eliminated the Blind Gopher and gained 20 XP......
During the battle, the system messages are constantly refreshed, and the speed is almost the same as flying.
1,800 city guards, led by Dolma, Moses and Jia Zhengjin, wiped out all the gophers near the farmland with great momentum!
There are five or six hundred blind gophers in total, which is not a lot. Although it caused a lot of trouble to the villagers, at least it was successfully eliminated!
【NEWS】You got the potato seeds!
【NEWS】You have obtained pumpkin seeds!
You've got the Iron Gauntlet!
【NEWS】You've got a candle crafting blueprint!
【NEWS】You have obtained the blueprint for the mace crafting!
【NEWS】You've got the egg fried rice cooking skills!
【News】You've got braised pork cooking skills!
Potato seeds and pumpkin seeds are both good things, equating to two more new crops to grow.
The Iron Glove stats are not very good, only defense +3, but it's better than nothing!
Candle making drawings, which is a useful thing. Because the villagers in the city are currently lighting with torches at night, although the light of the torches is relatively bright, it is also much more dangerous. Candles, on the other hand, are slightly lighter, easier to reach, and slightly less dangerous than torches.
The villagers were all shopping in the grocery store, and some were lucky enough to buy candles. With this drawing, basically every household can use it in the future!
Of course, the ultimate goal is electric light! Jia Zhengjin is very nostalgic for the electrical appliances of his previous life.
The mace manufacturing blueprint is also a good thing, and you can use iron ingots to make maces with decent attack power! However, maces are very heavy, and can only be used by people with a lot of strength. Even if Jia Zhengjin has the strength bonus of the insect suit, he will definitely not be handy in using it, and it is better to practice his iron spear honestly.
As for egg fried rice and braised pork cooking, he really wanted to complain. Because even without this drawing, he can do it. But the problem is that in this world, he has no rice, he can't cook rice! There are no seasonings, and he can't make braised pork! As long as the ingredients are complete, he can make very delicious food without drawings at all!
That's how the gopher exploded, and the explosion rate was not high, about nine out of every ten were empty, and nothing could be found.
"Oops~" After the search, looking at the chaotic farmland like ruins, Jia Zhengjin sighed, "It's locusts and gophers again, it's not easy to grow some crops in this world!"
"Lord Keane, what should I do now?" the villagers were very upset when they looked at the potholes on the ground. Father-in-law Brilliant came over and said, "Once the gopher destroys it, our farmland will no longer be usable!"
"Don't panic!" Jia Zhengjin didn't care, and walked directly to the farmland facilities he had built. A repair option immediately popped up, and when he saw the price of 10 gold coins on it, he twitched painfully, but he still pressed OK.
