C2916 The World of Ice and Snow(part Ii)
But this time, Wang Jiu suffered a loss. He raised 1.58 million chickens. All of them had frozen to death. If it had only been less than a month, they would have been able to recover some of their costs. It was the same as the fine monsters in the West, but unfortunately, Old Wang Jiu's chickens had only been raised for less than half a month. In the end, they all died in one breath.
Old Nine Wang was already late by a few inns. When he asked if the other party wanted his little Chicky, all the answers he received were rejected. That was why Old Nine Wang had such an expression on his face. In a single night, hundreds of thousands of chickens were gone.
Initially, the West Journey Monster was very upset. However, when he heard about Old Nine Wang, he suddenly felt that he wasn't that sad anymore. He knew that his way of thinking was wrong. However, after comforting Old Nine Wang for a while, his footsteps became much more relaxed.
The West Journey Monster didn't know. This was because there were too many unlucky people in the snow. In animal husbandry, at least there was a shed, so it could at least keep some things. Agriculture was the worst. It was all covered by thick snow. His own farmland could not be found anywhere, let alone crops.
Under the ice and snow, they were all dead. Crops didn't have long fur, so they couldn't resist the cold. Wang Jiu was not the most miserable, but the most miserable was a flower master. He got dozens of acres of potted plants, and many of them were expensive orchids. When the weather cooled down, it was too late to transplant them to a suitable place. In fact, he couldn't get such a large room in a short period of time. As a result, the potted plants all over the mountain were frozen into ice sculptures.
The shrub type might be able to resist the cold a little. When the ice and snow melted, they might still be able to be saved. The leaves and flowers would basically cool down.
It was said that the loss was at least 3000 gold coins.
The tailor shop's business suddenly became better. The players who came to buy clothes lined up in a long line. They rubbed their hands and stamped their feet. As soon as they opened their mouths, white steam came out.
"Old Li, you came to buy clothes too!"
"I can't not buy clothes. Damn it, even the birds are frozen."
When the surrounding people heard this, they burst into laughter. The female players softly spat and turned their heads away.
"This damn weather, damn it, I've been in the game for so many years. This is the first time I've seen snow. I didn't expect it to be... It's already so big, it's not going to let me live. I'll go online in the morning. I found that the fruits at home have all been frozen. " Old Li said.
"Old Li, are you showing off your wealth? Other people can't live. I don't know. You definitely won't die. At least you have a house. I am very regretful now. If I had learned from you back then... How good would it be to buy a house? " Zhou Dapao's face was full of regret. When he said this, at least twenty people around him showed the same expression.
The house had always been a controversial prop in the game, because this thing... It was not usually needed, only useful when logging off. In a situation where all the cities were relatively safe, logging off was no longer needed. It was even possible to log off on the streets.
For many players, spending a lot of money to buy a property was too wasteful. For most players, they would only use it once or twice a month. With such a low usage rate, the inn was more worthwhile.
All this while, the price of a residential house was relatively low, and the shops were calculated separately. Even if the newly opened Black Tortoise City was favored by many people, the price of the houses was only slightly higher.
However, this situation changed after the heavy snow sealed off the road, and it was a huge change. The price of the houses doubled all of a sudden. Many people who wanted to buy houses looked at the price of the houses and sighed.
They had already made preparations. Even if the price of the house increased by 20% or even 30%, they still wanted to grit their teeth and buy it. However, if the price increased by 100%, then it exceeded their expectations and they could not afford it.
However, they could not afford it, but others could. While many people were still hesitating, the number of houses decreased at an alarming rate.
The game did not have the obligation to solve everyone's housing problem. The number of houses was far smaller than the number of players. If they didn't do it faster, they wouldn't have to do it. Because the houses were likely to be gone, they would crazily fight for them, causing the price of the houses to rise even further. In this world of ice and snow, people who didn't have a house... It was very painful.
The inns were already full, and the restaurants were also full. There were many people who couldn't buy houses or didn't have money to buy houses. They could only reserve the private rooms of the restaurant, although they could not sleep. Compared to sleeping in the streets, it was a better place to stay. It was much better.
The price of clothing rose. The prices of fur, textile, silk, duck plush and other industries rose. Some people made money, and even more people had their pockets flattened.
It was already the third day of heavy snow, and the snow was still falling. It did not seem to be reducing in the slightest. Outside the city, the snow had already reached the shoulders of adults. Yesterday, it was still at his waist, and yesterday, there were players who came out of the city in snow. Today, there was not a single player who came out of the city. The world was deathly pale, and no other colors could be seen.
In the Black Tortoise City, the guards turned into sanitation workers, clearing up the snow in the city. Carts of snow were sent to the winery and used snow water to make wine. It had a different taste.
In the past, this natural snow would cost a lot of money to buy. But now, no one wanted it anymore. Of course, the cleanest and the best quality snow would be sent to the winery for wine. The first time was... The first grade would be sent to the various restaurants and inns. As water for daily life, the restaurants and inns could not be consumed. The living area would require a large amount of water to send it to the living area.
It would be best if it was close to the layer of snow on the ground, because it was dirtier. I can only take care of it. This was also the most troublesome way to deal with it, because he didn't know where to throw the snow. Outside the city, due to the snow, the terrain was higher than the city. The rivers near the Black Tortoise City had all frozen, and there was no way for them to flow out.
The city wall was tens of meters high, so it was still possible to choose to throw the snow outside from the city wall. But this plan was immediately rejected. The snow had fallen for too long. If the snow covered the wall, then it would be troublesome. He would probably have to clean up the snow outside the city, which would be the same as doing something for himself. Finally, all the snow would be installed with spatial tools through the teleportation formation. He brought it to the Ferocious Tiger Mountain and threw it there.
There was a very deep canyon on one side of the Ferocious Tiger Mountain. It was very convenient to deal with things that were not needed. No one thought that one day, they would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with the snow.
The guards had nothing else to do every day except to deal with the snow. They had to do it every day. Otherwise, the snow would be too deep and pedestrians would not be able to pass. Starting from the fifth day, black Tortoise City changed its strategy. Wind Magician was assigned a job. They flew above Black Tortoise City and released Wind Magic. They blew the snowflakes outside.
With that, the Black Tortoise City would no longer be troubled by the snow.
