Buying a single seed costs four thousand Doomsday Coins, and Song Jian only has just over a thousand in his pocket now. He still needs to figure out how to get more money;

“Do you buy plant seeds?” Song Jian suddenly asked: “I have recently harvested some wheat and soybeans…”

“Of course, wheat and soybeans are grains and they’re valuable in these times. However, we offer 8 Doomsday Coins for every hundred grains of wheat and 10 for every hundred grains of soybean. We buy as many as you have!”

“Sheesh, these prices… You’re even more ruthless than the system store!” Song Jian exclaimed, thinking to himself;

“Heh, just kidding. Just send them over quickly.” After saying this, Song Jian directly closed the radio;

“I might as well use these grains to enhance my cooking skills. I might even discover some new recipes!” Song Jian thought to himself;

Just then, from the window, Song Jian saw three green light columns emerge from the ground almost simultaneously;

“Someone is completing the main task of creating a safehouse!” Song Jian had a thought and instantly disappeared from the room, appearing on top of the Manor Castle Towers;

Looking towards the light columns, their locations were quite close and not too far away from the residential area where Song Jian was;

“It seems that’s where the New Garden Residential Area is!” Song Jian scratched his chin and muttered to himself, “1 should go and see.”

Once the safehouse is established, the whole area within a one-kilometer radius essentially becomes Song Jian’s territory, and other players would need his permission to establish their own safehouses here;

However, before any safehouse is built, anyone can build one, which is why the three players had agreed upon building their safehouses together. But in the future, whoever wants to build a safehouse here will need the approval of all three of them;

Song Jian quickly arrived near the New Garden Residential Area. By now, quite a few players had already gathered around, buzzing with discussion.

“These three guys are smart, banding together to create safehouses and fend off monsters. This way they all share the burden. Not bad, not bad at all!”

“Isn’t this just a game bug? The number of monsters within a one-kilometer radius is fixed. Three people defending against them instead of just one would obviously be much easier!”

“Why don’t you give it a try? Four people would surely be easier than three!”

“I think I’ll wait to see what happens. Such an obvious bug, 1 don’t believe the game would just let it slide. A boss monster might appear and completely wipe them out.”

After hearing this, some players who had been keen on the idea of combining their forces immediately dismissed it. They decided to wait and see. If the three players succeed and the number of attacking monsters doesn’t increase, it wouldn’t be too late to establish their own safehouses together then;

The three players stood amid the green light columns, constantly moving their hands in front of their chests as they set up defenses around their safehouses. With more than a month in the game time passed by, most players had gathered just about enough wooden and stone materials. As long as the game allowed, they could build any defense structure;

Soon, the three green light columns shattered simultaneously, causing hundreds of monsters to swarm towards the three safehouses;

“Huh, it really works! The monsters are spread out and their numbers don’t seem to have increased much!” Someone exclaimed in surprise;

“No, there’s been some increase, but it seems to be only by two to three layers!”

“Almost, can we really build safehouses together?”

At this moment, almost all the onlooking players were excited;

“Let’s wait. There may still be a strong boss yet to appear. We’ll see if they succeed.”

“Qiang bro, it really works, haha, the monsters have been split off. We just need to hold this together!” a player on the rooftop of a safehouse said, laughing and shouting towards another safehouse not ten meters away from him;

“It’s all thanks to Qiang bro’s smart thinking, the boss really is the boss!” another player promptly complimented;

The three safehouses were arranged in a product line layout, each separated from each other by just eight to nine meters. The defensive structures they built were even connected, allowing them to concentrate their fire on a single monster, thus reducing the pressure on the safehouses. Moreover, it allowed them to easily fend off the attacking monsters. In just a short while, all three of them leveled up;

“Don’t worry, as long as you’re with me, I guarantee you’ll all be able to complete the main tasks!” Qiang bro had a look of pride on his face;

“Qiang, Qiang bro, a BOSS, a BOSS is coming!” a player suddenly pointed at a Level-5 elite boss in the distance and shouted out loud;

“Don’t panic, it’s just a Level-5 elite boss. If it dares to come at us, we’ll concentrate fire and bring it down instantaneously!” Qiang bro squinted his eyes, looked at the boss for a long while, and spoke;

All three had upgraded their safehouses to Level-3, and had built Arrow Towers. Twelve Arrow Towers combined to form a rain of arrows, making it extremely difficult for the monsters to even get close;

“Boss, the boss is coming!” Zhao Liang had his eyes fixed on the boss. In his view, the regular Level-3 and Level-4 monsters would hardly cause any damage to the safehouses. The main threat was the boss. Once it entered the boss’s attack range, the damage to the safehouses would be severe;

“Got it. Take control of the Arrow Towers and aim at that boss. As soon as it enters the attack range, start firing!” Qiang bro took out a white-quality AK, aimed at the boss, and started to fire;

The sound of three consecutive firings echoed each time, each hitting the boss’s head and causing a lot of damage;

The other two players also took out their long-range weapons and started firing at the boss;

The boss, beaten to a roar, was blocked by the lower level monsters in front. Every meter it advanced, it had to bear a lot of damage;

“Hey, this boss isn’t that tough! Seems it can’t even get close to the safehouses.”

“We’re just lucky. It’s a melee-attack boss. We’ll just aim to not let it get close to the safehouses and just knock it out. No sweat.” Qiang bro was relieved, and shouted aloud;

Not long after, the boss fell down three meters away from the safehouse that was closest to him. It burst out a piece of green-quality equipment and several white-quality materials;

The three players’ eyes lit up immediately. Glancing at the surrounding monsters, they held their excitement back. But their eyes kept darting towards that piece of green equipment;

The surrounding players, seeing the boss fall, gave out a cry of surprise;

“It’s actually possible! Now with this, the safety of the main tasks has greatly increased!”

“Yeah, they aren’t even scared of the boss showing up. It’s actually like a huge gift pack giving away experience and equipment. What do you say, Old Li, why don’t we find a place and build a safehouse together later?”

“Sure, count me in, haha! Let’s find more people. We can all complete the main tasks together!”

Song Jian looked around. With the death of the Level-5 boss, the atmosphere around had suddenly become lively;
