I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 541: Wild Honey

“Wild Honey, ingredient, edible, Effect 1: Direct consumption can restore 300 Vitality Points and 150 Spirit Points within 30 seconds. If you take more than 15 seconds to consume it, you will gain a full meal effect, increasing your Spirit attribute by 1 for an hour; Effect 2: Can be used to make honey wine.”

The wild honey dropped by the Wilderness Poison Bees is not only one of the ingredients for brewing honey wine, but it can also be directly consumed, restoring both Vitality Points and Spirit Points. Most importantly, there is no restriction on using it in non-combat situations, meaning that it is a replenishing item that can be used directly during combat.

This characteristic makes wild honey much more valuable. If it weren’t for its small one-time recovery of Vitality Points and Spirit Points, selling it might make more money than honey wine.

Having found a highly efficient way to hunt Wilderness Poison Bees and being enticed by the benefits of wild honey, Song Jian dives into a frenzy of monster killing.

For an entire day, Song Jian fought monsters on the edge of the stone forest until the sky gradually darkened. Reluctantly, he stopped and headed towards Army Camp Town.

In a single day, Song Jian had hunted nearly a thousand wild bees with minimal consumption of resources. Aside from the initial probing of the Wilderness Poison Bee’s weaknesses, he spent the rest of the day completely recovering through brief rest.

In one day’s time, Song Jian had collected over 300 pieces of wild honey, enough for him to make more than 300 bottles of honey wine.

At the same time, his combat experience also increased by 21%, bringing him a small step closer to Level 27.

Returning to Army Camp Town, Song Jian went straight to the Old Army Camp Inn. Initially, he planned to stay only for a day and head to the Dark Castle in Shadowfang Mountain Range after confirming the direction. It seemed like he would have to spend a few more days in this small town.

As the lava in the huge crack on the street outside the inn lost its magic energy support, it gradually dispersed, leaving only a seven or eight-meter-long and more than one-meter-wide gap. Still, one day was enough for the townspeople to repair the crack, and when Song Jian returned to the inn, the crack was no longer visible.

Seeing Song Jian walking into the inn, the one-eyed innkeeper Old Boke raised his eyebrows, sniffed, and his face broke into a broad smile. He opened his arms and shouted loudly: “Welcome back to Old Boke’s inn, brave divine protector! I bet you’ve been hunting wild bees in the Wild Bee Forest all day, otherwise, your body wouldn’t have such a strong Wild Bee honey scent. Haha, let’s toast to the warrior!”

Clang, clang, clang~

Old Boke shook a small copper bell on the counter, making a pleasant ringing sound. Everyone raised their glasses and shouted loudly towards Song Jian: “To our warrior!”

Song Jian was taken aback, then he picked up a glass of beer and shouted loudly: “To the Old Army Camp Inn!”

Everyone drank and laughed heartily. Some played the violin, some sang valiant military songs, and even more people punched the tables along with the beat. The atmosphere in the inn instantly reached a climax.

“Old Boke, you got a hound’s nose…” Song Jian took a few strong sniffs of himself but didn’t smell anything.

“Haha, how many Wilderness Poison Bees did you kill today? Fifty or a hundred? Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a strong sweet scent!” Old Boke patted Song Jian on the shoulder vigorously and said, “There are too many wild bees in the Wild Bee Forest. I’m afraid one day they’ll swarm the town, and if that really happens, I believe the Army Camp Town won’t stand a chance.”

“You can post hunting quests. I believe if the rewards are reasonable, divine protectors would be willing to accept the quests,” Song Jian shrugged and said.

Although there aren’t many players in Army Camp Town, those who can survive in this harsh environment are all elites. The wild bees are thorny, but they are no match for these players.

The players’ lack of interest in the Wild Bee Forest is just because it’s not attractive enough.

“I can’t afford to offer quest rewards, even for the wild honey needed for brewing honey wine every month, it already emptied my pockets,” Old Boke shook his head and said.

Honey wine is the specialty of the Old Army Camp Inn. To maintain this reputation, Old Boke had to spend at least half of his profits each month to hire divine protectors to hunt Wilderness Poison Bees and acquire honey.

Song Jian shrugged, thinking that honey wine could be considered Army Camp Town’s specialty. If it could be traded with other places, it would not only eliminate the monster threats around the town but also bring prosperity to the town’s commercial activities.

However, this had nothing to do with Song Jian, as he couldn’t stay here forever.

“By the way, did the group who fought yesterday come back?” Song Jian asked.

“They dare to come back? Hmph, the damage they caused to the town yesterday exceeded a hundred thousand Doomsday Coins. They have been marked as the least welcome people in town and won’t receive any service or help in the future!” Old Boke said angrily.

Those who have been living in Army Camp Town for a long time have already considered it their home and do not allow anyone to destroy it. The two Death God warriors and the three Dark Council Alliance members from yesterday will most likely never be able to set foot in the town again.

“I think I’ll be staying here for a few more days. Prepare a dinner for me, just like yesterday’s,” Song Jian had a couple of drinks, chatted casually with Boke, and then returned to his room to rest.

“No problem! I hope you can kill all those creatures in the Wild Bee Forest!” As Old Boke watched Song Jian’s back, he lifted his glass of wine and shouted loudly.

For several days, Song Jian tirelessly hunted Wilderness Poison Bees, obtaining more than 2,000 wild honeys. His inventory was nearly full.

There were no more Wilderness Poison Bees at the edge of the Wild Bee Forest. One had to go nearly a hundred meters deep into the stone forest to find traces of wild bees.

As Song Jian looked at the dense rows of wild honey in his inventory, he nodded in satisfaction: “The time is almost up. I should go meet Qi Yun at the Shadowfang Mountain Range. This past few days of grinding wild bees has made me sick.”

Just as Song Jian was about to turn around and leave, a wild bee the size of a basketball appeared before his eyes.

“Wilderness Poison Queen Bee?” Song Jian’s eyes lit up; he had hunted so many wild bees but hadn’t encountered a single Poison Queen Bee. The Queen Bee’s respawn time was once a month. Song Jian thought he wouldn’t encounter one, but it respawned today.

“Queen Bee Honey, this is a good item for making Queen Bee Wine. I’m lucky today.” Song Jian gripped his long sword, a smile appearing on his face. He controlled the fire elemental elf and threw a ball of flame at the Poison Queen Bee.
