Chapter 11 A Strange Encounter with the Polar Bear's Holiday Lodge

It's called a battle-damaged version, but it only suffered minor external damage and doesn't affect its use at all.

Fang Zhiyi placed the ship's cannons on the raft.

The cannon barrel is thick, long, and hollow, with a smooth and shiny outer shell, making it look imposing.

If I encounter a hammerhead shark again, I won't need to run away with my head in my hands anymore; one shot will take care of it.

However, even with the weapons, they lacked the recipes for the ammunition.

At most, one shot can be fired, and then the ship's cannons are useless.

Fang Zhiyi opened the [channel], hoping to see where he could get some ammunition.

Upon entering, the first thing that pops up is the private chat messages.

[Chu Zhao: Congratulations]

Two words that make no sense.

Fang Zhiyi was stunned for a moment before realizing that the news of the light screen upgrading the raft to level 3 had been widely publicized.

Player fzy ranked 00001st in this server and obtained a Level 3 Raft.

[Area] [Raft Survival] [21577/36500]

[You've already reached level 3 on only the second day! Wow, I need your help!]

[Does the boss need any followers? My requirements are low, just give me some materials.]

[I'm young, beautiful, and have abs, looking for a sugar daddy/sugar baby]

Fang's meaning: ...

What a load of nonsense. Being publicly announced as a big shot feels both exhilarating and incredibly awkward.

The channel was mostly filled with meaningless information, either pleading for favors or asking to be taken care of. He couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly left to chat with Chu Zhao privately.

In his view, Chu Zhao was knowledgeable and helpful, so it was better to ask him than to waste time asking others.

[fzy: Thank you]

[fzy: Do you know where I can find ship gun ammunition?]

[Chu Zhao: On the Sunken Ship]

[Chu Zhao: What materials are needed to upgrade from level 3 to level 4?]

This wasn't classified information, so Fang Zhiyi just mentioned it casually. Thinking it best to give and take, he even asked, "Do you know what the ship's core is?"

The chat window flickered.

The other person seemed to be carefully considering what to type.

A message popped up after a while.

[Chu Zhao: It should be material from the sunken ship]

Fang scratched his head.

Another shipwreck. It seems like there are many good things on a shipwreck, but so far, he has seen every single shipwreck.

Just as I was about to ask where I could find the shipwreck, a piercing "sizzle" sound suddenly rang in my ears.

It felt like I bumped into something.

Fang Zhiyi left the channel and headed towards the source of the sound. After taking only a few steps, he suddenly realized that his stamina was plummeting.

【cold】

An iceberg appeared on the distant sea, and the falling ice fragments drifted with the waves, striking the raft. Fortunately, the Class 3 raft was sturdy and impact-resistant; after bumping into the ice floe, it took a step back, changed direction, and continued forward.

Fang Zhiyi exhaled a cloud of cold mist and retreated back into the area around the campfire.

The sea breeze made the firelight dim and weak, so a piece of wood was added, and it reignited.

In just a short time, a layer of frost formed on his eyelashes and hair, and in the blink of an eye, snow-white ice particles began to fall down.

It's too cold.

If this continues, you'll definitely get frostbite.

Fang Zhiyi wanted to turn around and leave the ice floe area, but when he looked back, he found that a large and small ice floe had appeared behind him.

The ice floes were very dense and the distance between them was very short. If the raft were to try to break through them, it would definitely suffer considerable damage.

It might sink before it even leaves the ice floe area.

Comparing the two options and weighing the pros and cons, Fang Zhiyi had no choice but to continue moving forward.

The further we went, the lower the temperature became, and the rain turned into hail, pelting the raft with a loud patter.

A layer of ice had formed on the surface of the raft, and icicles hung down from the second-floor platform.

Fang Zhiyi's negative effect was no longer "cold," but "frostbite." Even the campfire was useless; the firelight flickered, and they could only keep adding wood to maintain a weak warmth.

If it were someone else, they might freeze to death on the icy sea once they ran out of wood to start a fire.

Fortunately, Fangzhiyi has a supermarket.

I took a pack of hand warmers from the supermarket and applied them to my lower back and chest through my clothes. The hand warmers worked quickly, a warm current circulating throughout my body, warming my frozen hands and feet.

That's not enough.

Fang Zhiyi scanned the supermarket shelves.

There is a fresh food supermarket that specifically serves the community, selling mostly daily necessities, fresh produce, and snacks; they don't sell warm clothes there.

If Fang Zhiyi were given a chance now, he would definitely stock up on things regardless of whether they were useful or not, just in case he needed them someday.

Fortunately, he remembered there was a military overcoat in the staff break room. He wore it when he went to the cold storage to pick up and move goods; it was thick and large, covering his entire body from neck to ankle.

[A Fresh Food Supermarket Lv.2]

[Today's pickup count: 0/5]

The previous lavish meal, plus the hand warmers and military coat, has already used up today's allowance.

Fang Zhiyi, with hand warmers on and wearing a military overcoat, finally felt the negative effect of the "cold" on her body disappear.

He exhaled a breath of cold air and steered the raft through the undulating ice.

From a distance, the iceberg doesn't look very big, but when you get closer, you realize that what you saw earlier was just the tip of the iceberg.

The ice peaks are majestic, the ice cracks are crystal clear, and the snow on the mountaintops reflects the crystalline light.

Every now and then, a "thump" could be heard, as ice floes fell into the sea.

Fang Zhiyi looked up, not feeling awe or admiration at the beauty of nature.

He quickly finished his reflections and decided to go around the iceberg and leave this dangerous area.

He withdrew his gaze and carefully steered the raft.

As the raft turned, the iceberg gradually revealed its true form. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw an igloo standing on it.

Fang Zhiyi was taken aback.

Is anyone still living here?

[A serendipitous discovery - an unexpectedly appearing cabin]

[Should we explore this area?]

Is this a side story?

Fang Zhiyi moored the raft on a flat area beside the iceberg. He wanted to explore and encounter something extraordinary, but he was unsure if leaving the raft would be considered elimination.

After hesitating for a moment, he came to the raft and tentatively stepped onto the iceberg.

Squeak.

My feet firmly touched the ice, and I silently counted to five, ready to jump back onto the raft at the first sign of trouble.

Five seconds passed.

Nothing happened.

Looking back, I noticed a line of small characters above the raft.

[fzy's Level 3 Raft]

[Unmanned parking, safety mode activated]

[No one may enter without permission]

Only after confirming that it was safe to leave the raft did Fang Zhiyi dare to venture far. He adjusted his sleeves and followed the direction he remembered, and soon the hut came into view.

The cabin was made of ice blocks, and a wooden sign stood at the entrance. Upon closer inspection, the sign was decorated with European holly and had a line of cursive lettering engraved on it—"White Bear Holiday Cabin."

Fang's meaning: ...

Who would come to this godforsaken place for vacation? Haha, a polar bear?

He wanted to knock on the door to see if anyone was inside, but just as he raised his hand, a muffled sound came from behind him.

"Hey man, what do you want with the bear?"
