The European Emperor’s character remains standing

Chapter 216 How to Clean Up the Mess
As everyone knows, huskies are notorious for wreaking havoc and causing chaos in the house.

"To think that his lifelong reputation has been ruined in an instant, I wish I didn't have this younger brother. Despite all the precautions, he was still dragged down by his brother who betrayed him. What a tragedy!"

He lay on the sofa in the lounge and sighed. Qi Ye had offended countless people by acting recklessly, and the forums were already in an uproar. Needless to say, there were private bounties and black market warrants, but these were all private matters and easy to resolve.

The problem is that players who were badly scammed in the game are pooling their money to issue wanted posters with huge bounties, and many players are eager to make a fortune by doing so.

Once this official arrest warrant is issued, there's no way he can enter the safe zone.

They've all been crowdfunded with bounties and wanted posters have been issued. Going to any map town is like being a rat crossing the street. There's no safe zone. If you want to get in, you have to use a concealment item, otherwise you'll be caught by the city management and thrown in jail within minutes.

As long as players are online, they must "tear their tears behind bars," but it would be a big mistake to think that they are just going to stay inside. Being paraded through the streets and forced to work in lieu of punishment are just the most basic things.

[The lounge is about to close. Players, please prepare to be teleported to the nearest town.]

"Can we extend it a little longer?" Hua Hua asked Hu Sui Sui with a worried look on her face.

Fox replied: "It can't be extended. In your current state, if you are wanted by the authorities again, you will never be able to enter the safe zone. Even if you do get in, you will be arrested and imprisoned."

"After serving his sentence, as long as the warrant for his arrest is not lifted, he will be stuck in the wild and in unsafe areas as a savage."

"Sigh! I guess I've offended everyone in the gang." Fox Three Flowers didn't want to face reality. "I'll just use teleportation. Luckily, I have a little hideout outside the city that no one has discovered."

[Player Fox Three Flowers has activated targeted teleportation and will be teleported to my house.]

Are you sure?

【Sure!】

For a while, Fox Three-Flower and Deer Cub were obsessed with farming, so they built a secret base outside the city.

Rather than being outside the city, it's more like being in a mountain valley, where only these players chose to build their homes. This is because in other maps, all the available fields have already been taken by players who love farming and infrastructure development.

Later, the group merged their home maps, purchased land deeds for the area spanning hundreds of miles, and became increasingly busy. They took turns logging on whenever they had free time to take care of the land, and even spent a huge sum of money to buy a fully automated robot to manage the farmland.

To this end, the group emptied their savings, and their efforts in clearing dungeons and defeating world bosses were all to save money. The robot was so expensive that it required installment payments. Later, with the first-place reward he obtained from Qi Ye, they were able to pay off the remaining balance in one go.

There are advantages, though. For example, even though I'm wanted by the police now, I still have a place to hide.

After acquiring a land deed, players can merge the deeds or gift them to others. If a property is established on the map, the player can choose its location and will not encounter obstacles or illegal buildings on the open public map.

It is equivalent to an independent home map, and only those who have land deeds (system privileges) have the key to enter the map.

Private property is prohibited from entering without permission, so there is no one for miles around, and there is no need to worry about being hunted down. The only thing that needs to be done is to go into the city to purchase supplies.

You mean the system store?

Yes, but it's not as cheap as setting up a stall in a town.

Selling items in the system store is discounted, but buying items is ridiculously expensive. Only items sold by players in the auction house are cheaper, due to intense competition. System items that aren't subject to this competition are simply expensive!

Currently, only the landowner and invited individuals can enter the map of Huahua's homestead, so it can be considered safe for now.

After the land deeds in this area were merged, the homestead area expanded to a radius of hundreds of miles. The coverage area can be unlocked later by spending money.

The land deed is jointly owned by the eight individuals, who have equal access rights. Uninvited individuals cannot find the location of their homestead on the map.

The forums and towns are in an uproar, with many players who were scammed wandering around various maps looking for Fox Three Flowers and Fox Seven Leaves.

A few minutes after Hua Hua teleported to the cabin, Qi Ye and Lu Zai also came in.

Sister You asked, "What are you two planning to do? This has caused such a big fuss."

"I need some time to think of a solution. Actually, it's not entirely my fault. It's just that Qi Ye caused too much trouble and went completely off the rails, eventually dragging me down with her." Hua Hua picked up the tea set, poured herself a cup of cold tea, and drank it all in one gulp before replying.

"Is there anything we can do for you? An'an and Lu Zai will help." Lu Zai and Fold Ear said in unison.

Although Zhe Er and Hua Hua didn't get along well at first, they couldn't just stand by and do nothing, or even kick someone when they're down.

"You guys better not get involved. This is a mess that Qi Ye made, so of course he should clean it up. Qi Ye and I can handle the pressure. Fortunately, their attention is on Qi Ye and me, not on you guys. But just in case, it's better if you guys keep a low profile."

Hua Hua refused, "Right now, all the players are furious about being scammed. If you guys step in again, we'll really become the 'Demon King Squad.' If we get caught red-handed, our talent system will be weakened, and the drop rate of dungeon items will be reduced. Then we're really finished."

"Even if there are lucky items to boost the drop rate, it will still be difficult to handle if the drop rate is lowered."

Qingxuan said, moved, "Good brother, you're so loyal. What do you suggest? I'll do whatever you suggest. If all else fails, we can brainstorm together. The eight of us, plus the eight flower fairies, can definitely do it."

Sanhua: "I'm afraid you'll make things worse and accidentally expose the forum address, which would be terrible. Even though you can't come in without an invitation, it's still quite annoying." "By the way, if nothing's going on lately, it's best not to talk on the forum, just stay silent. I have an idea about how to resolve this matter, and I'd like to try it out. If anything big happens recently, let's not get involved, just be bystanders."

After Qiye and Huahua entered the home map, the others received a message that a teammate had entered their home.

To prevent the exposure of personal information, Hua Hua specifically sent a message reminding everyone not to invite others to the community or reveal their current location, no matter who tries to get close to them.

Beware of scams by acquaintances, and refuse to disclose your personal information!
A gentle breeze was blowing. Fox Three Flowers looked out the window at the ripe crops and said, "Why don't we harvest the crops first? We can't go to town to sell them now, and the system shop's purchase price is very low, so we can only sell them anonymously. We'll just have to accept the discount."

"Lu Zai, Zhe Er, and You Jie were in charge of the construction, design, and decoration of the home, while Qi Ye, Qing Xuan, Shao Shao, and I were in charge of harvesting, processing, and making furniture. I remember that Shao Shao's carpentry skills were at the highest level."

"Hmm, draw a design sketch if there's anything you want to do, and I'll perfectly recreate it, but don't draw it by hand." Shao Shao added, "Last time, Qi Ye's drawing was almost unrecognizable to me. It's better to have Hu Sui Sui and the others generate a design sketch based on the description."

"Then let's refine the interior design a bit more. The downstairs living room will have a Chinese style, matching the architectural style of the exterior. Let's avoid anything too unconventional, or it will look out of place. As for the interior design of our own rooms, let's do what we want."

The group was in agreement.

"Although robots can manage crops, automatically irrigate, kill pests, fertilize and prevent diseases, they still need to be manually set up after maturity before they can be automatically harvested and stored in the system warehouse, otherwise they will rot in the ground."

“No problem, I’ll take care of these.” Zhe’er volunteered and took on the task.

"It's just farming. If you get tanned, you can use whitening medicine. You can also train and improve your harvesting skills. If you lack stamina, you can use stamina potions and various enhancement pills."

"A few days ago, I also found a box of cooling pills, specially made for farming enthusiasts. After taking them, you can work for several hours without getting tired. They also have a certain degree of enhancement effect when making various items and secondary processing. Some experts have even tested them by grinding, and the effect is quite good."

After saying that, Zhe'er took out the box of cooling pills and swallowed them to gain the buff effect.

[Current system notification: Player Scottish Fold Cat has consumed a mysterious pill - specially made for hardcore players, triggering the effect of solidifying stamina for three days. During this period, no matter how much stamina is consumed, it will always be at full value, and players will not experience any negative states such as hunger, thirst, drowsiness, or sleepiness.]

While working, the skill experience doubles for every hour worked. If you work continuously without stopping, your proficiency will increase significantly. If the skill reaches the maximum level during this period, you can choose the buffs related to the skill.

The selectable buffs after a skill reaches its maximum level are only triggered after consuming this product, and are considered a special encounter.

The effects of this product will disappear three days after use. Please be aware of the duration of use.

Congratulations on triggering the second adventure! What a coincidence, you're a hardcore gamer too!

Let's work together, become the ultimate hardcore gamers, build infrastructure together, farm together, and work tirelessly to become the best versions of ourselves!

Having confirmed the effectiveness of the robot, Zhe'er then manually programmed it, preset the target, and started the mechanical harvesting. She planned to harvest the other half manually to increase her farming experience, improve her planting skills, and strive to reach the maximum level.

Some life skills, once maxed out, will grant certain attribute bonuses. If you acquire the relevant cultivation techniques later, you may also have a chance to change to a special profession.

Once your cooking skill reaches the maximum level and you obtain the relevant professional rating, the food you make will have different attribute effects and bonuses.

Folded Ear picked up a straw hat that Shao Shao had woven and put it on his head before going out to harvest. He hadn't originally planned to take it, but after glancing at it out of the corner of his eye and looking closely at it, he changed his mind after seeing the attributes.

With the carpentry skill at max level, wearing a straw hat provides a buff, preventing heatstroke while wearing it. The attribute is "Full of Passion," which increases harvest by 10% when working with great enthusiasm.

Normally, you've never seen a player in a game dress up carefully before harvesting loot, unless the outfit provides a bonus.

Some players, upon discovering that planting was possible, immediately started planting while still wearing beginner gear.

Whether it's scorching sun or torrential rain, just get to work; it won't affect the actual results, at most it will weaken them to some extent.

Which player cares about the weather in the game?
Focus wholeheartedly on interacting with NPCs, completing tasks, advancing the storyline, and conquering dungeons.

Aside from scenery enthusiasts, who only care about whether the game's scenery and clothing are suitable for taking photos, and occasionally pay attention to the weather, it doesn't affect their appreciation of beauty.

Outside, after consuming the buff, the Folded Ear was full of energy, and its harvesting efficiency was comparable to that of a machine. It was simply a testament to the power of hard work.

Other players on the same map as Folded Ear also received system notifications.

[Current System Channel: Home (System notifications and real-time chat history, viewable only by players in the same home)]

Player Folded Ear Cat triggered Adventure 2 - The Legend of the Hardcore Player: Farming and Harvesting.

Task Description: What a coincidence, you're a hardcore grinder too. A player happened to buy a crafting boost from a hardcore grinder and triggered a message from a former hardcore grinder.

[The task description is too long and is currently folded. Please click to view.]

As mentioned earlier, each player is provided with their own customer service assistant to help them with tasks such as dungeon guides. The assistant's race is the Flower Fairy.

If there's a section that's not written, you can assume they're on vacation, on paid leave. The omission doesn't mean there's no interaction; it just means it's been omitted.
