Ning Zheng found it very interesting.
He continued to observe these blacksmith forums and found all sorts of chaotic speculations.
[The Legendary Eye Squad has been on strike for several days, why aren't they online yet?]
[This game is so realistic.]
[When can the third batch of blacksmiths enter?]
After watching for a while without finding anything of interest, he closed the forum directly.
It's normal for Dizzy's group of four to be inactive; it's only been a few days.
Anyway, Ning Zheng didn't care, it had nothing to do with him.
Early in the morning, Jiucai Rong posted an update announcement at the entrance of the villa, indicating that a new main version was on its way.
[Official Announcement: This Sword Casting Competition will welcome a major update without going offline, version 0.3 update log is as follows.]
[The main storyline expansion pack Red Moon and Red Sun will be opened soon.]
[After the New Year ancestor worship, the Saint will issue a general pardon, With Ember removed, after thirty days of the Red Moon, the decisive battle of the Red Sun will begin. Blacksmiths, please get ready.]
[This major update also optimizes the following items.]
[1. Slight adjustment to the villa layout, adding heating pipes, thickening walls, window renovation, and there are daily corresponding building tasks available.]

[8. Shelves will soon be stocked with new winter items, such as River Demon sleeping bags, Crow Feather Robes, plush gloves, and boots.]
[9. New baby building, Paper House, and other Nether Artifacts' stability are being tested.]
Everyone gathered around the announcement to discuss.
Actually, this announcement didn't have any big surprises.
Because someone had already secretly "leaked" the official update announcement yesterday.
However, the discussion still revolved around the announcement.
Programmer: "Brothers, the baby is coming."
Mudworker: "Whoa, a 50 Magic Coin Continuing Ash Talisman, this is the closest I've gotten to a baby! Picking up a farmer would satisfy me."
Shrimp Catcher: "Let's go, go, go!"
Shao Chaikun: "Oh mom, I haven't paid off the loan, can't borrow 50 Magic Coins yet, will borrow after paying off."
What are these monsters? What ghosts and goblins?
The blacksmiths are like pumped-up chickens.
They act like a high-speed operating machine, multitasking.
Newbie blacksmiths forging painting cards, accumulating experience.
Old blacksmiths studying Muddy Qi, trying to welcome the elders of Heaven and Earth.
Newbie scholars reading books.
Brick-moving workers for heating pipes, Hairpin Lady sewing clothes, doctors modifying River Demon sleeping bags.
A circle has been formed.
Ning Zheng's daily life was extremely repetitive and plain.
First day, barbecue fishing.
Second day, tea drinking fishing.
Third day, fishing in the rain.
Not for other reasons; mainly because Ning Jiaojiao and Su Yuniang insisted on exploring the dungeon, wanting him to accompany them.
Fishing has too greatly deceived me, hindering my cultivation speed.
But on reflection, I have always relied on Qi Fortune to charge through.
Not on hard work, the little daily meridian training is useless.
Meanwhile, Ning Zheng discovered.
The Well Entrance Dungeon is utterly lacking in difficulty, no sense of anticipation at all.
Where's the promised River Demon boss?
Originally, Ning Zheng felt a bit inflated.
Thinking of fishing out a Five-Body Realm Great Perfection River Demon, and going head-to-head with it.
After all, the crow leader in the sky isn't easy to deal with, but the one swimming in water climbing ashore, can't be kited with arrows? Kiting it with a rooftop shot seemed effective.
But there was no chance.
He also read the blacksmiths' analysis: the patriarch was fishing at the well entrance, got rid of the River Demon, and made a Meat Field to play with.
All I can say is that our villa's patriarch has quite the taste!
This has truly become the Newbie Village Dungeon in the true sense.
It might still be very challenging for other blacksmiths, but a woman like Su Yuniang, skilled in combat and assassinations, and able to dive, has completely cleared it.
The map drawing, however, is troublesome, a long-term job, until the map is finished, coordinates can be used to dig a well.
But if a well entrance appears, one must be prepared to prevent them from jumping out of the villa.
Ning Zheng also started to think about whether to upgrade the villa's Isolation Array.
Recently, over seventy River Demons have been caught, the sister duo's joint seduction, flaunting charm, attracting River Demons from all over.
After fishing, Su Yuniang started today's work.
The villagers, with Su Yuniang, the social butterfly wielding a book rolled up as a megaphone, rallied from a height:
"Villagers, elders, the Red Moon is nearly here!"
"Most of us haven't lived past 150 years, haven't encountered an Ash Disaster, don't worry, it's mostly weak wandering ghosts."
"I have a way, leading up the mountain."
"Everyone take my sign, place it along the road, pointing up the mountain."
"Also, memorize the scripts well, if an outsider passes by, communicate, murmuring aloud."
Su Yuniang started handing out signs and various scripts.
[The Most Beautiful Girl of Xinyi Continent, Su Yuniang]
The content suggests that when male passers-by come, casually mentioning there's a once-in-a-thousand-year beauty on the mountain to pique curiosity.
[There was a golden glimmer on the mountain last night, suspected ancient inheritance emerging]
This line targets deceased cultivators, leading them to seek opportunities on the mountain.
[There's a gourmet tavern on the mountain]
[The village on the mountain has a custom of hosting guests with their wives]
In short, everyone let their imagination run wild, designing their own scripts and traps, creating a strong sense of participation and gameplay, fishing in various ways around the villa.
I, Qin Shi Huang, pay money.
Endless tales of this sort keep emerging.
In short, they revel in these peculiar places, eager to use their 20% of effort.
This is real fishing!
Various scripts were distributed.
The literacy rate in this world is very high, most villagers can read, not requiring full memorization, just a general understanding.
The New Year Market had passed, and the bookstore's entrance was rather deserted, as most people were farming or resting under trees.
Su Yuniang, with Ning Jiaojiao, swaggered into the house, carrying some booklets over.
"What's up?" Li Youzhu frowned.
He had seen Su Yuniang rallying villagers near the village but wasn't clear on the specifics.
"Take these books, place them at the door."
Su Yuniang took out some booklets, slapping them on the table, "If someone passes by, promote a book to them, if they want to read the next part, hint that the author is on the mountain..."
Li Youzhu paused for a moment.
He casually flipped through a few, and was immediately taken aback.
The few opening chapters of these unfinished stories were intriguing, some poems very high quality.
But the nastiest part was, the poems stopping abruptly after a few lines, leaving readers hanging!
"Uncle Youzhu, we're counting on you." Su Yuniang said seriously, leaving with Ning Jiaojiao.
Li Youzhu watched them leave, remaining silent for a long while.
