Chapter 147

After the "Doomsday Carnival" event begins, in order to facilitate timely support, lords from all over the country will exchange intelligence online by modifying notes every day.

According to statistics, after the first day of the event, the degree of damage to the city walls of the nine directly affected towns was about 30%.

The event started too hastily, and the players fell into panic. The monsters immediately destroyed a large amount of health in the city walls. It was only later that they gradually organized an effective resistance. During this stage, in just two or three hours, the city wall lost about 20% of its health.

After reinforcements arrived and killed a large number of monsters, the health loss rate of the city walls slowed down, and the lords paid for repairs day and night. Finally, after a whole day, the health of most town walls was fixed at around 70%.

This is still a worrying number.

On the second day of the event, this number was barely maintained above 60%.

As for the Boulder Town, which was "taken care of" by the system, because someone sent out his summoned beast without honor, the health bar remained at 67.233%, and the loss was only a fraction of the first day.

system:"?"

On the third day of the event, players continued to teleport, and more elites who were well-known on the world leaderboards finally grabbed the opportunity to teleport with their quick hands and rushed to join the battle.

Before coming, they were worried, their minds were full of the suffering of the people in the disaster-stricken areas, and they were all ready to join the battle as soon as they arrived.

After arriving, they looked at the people in the disaster area who had gained weight on the city wall and fell silent.

"Eat something?"

Seeing the players coming to support, they skillfully handed out bowls and chopsticks.

Three minutes later.

The elites held their bowls and said, "It smells so good!"

Food from Nuannuan Hot Springs continues to circulate.

With top combat power and powerful buff protection, the damage to the city wall is further reduced.

On the fourth day of the event, the system angrily escalated its offensive again, and the number of territories that received special attention increased to three. After paid repairs, the health bar recovery rate of the remaining territories was almost the same as the damage rate.

The slogan "Eat a full stomach before fighting" has been brought to all parts of the world by players of Nuannuan Hot Springs, and the newly arrived players seamlessly integrate into the harmonious dining atmosphere.

They heard the name "Nuannuan Hot Spring" during their chat.

On the fifth day of the event, the disaster-stricken territory was overcrowded. Some people retreated to rest when their blue bars reached the bottom, and were immediately replaced by others. Because the opportunity to teleport is so rare, some players regretfully gave up their plans to rush back to the hot spring for dinner.

The three territories that were severely affected received help from the dragon. Although the health of the city walls decreased, they were still under control.

In addition, the health bars of the remaining territory walls increased instead of decreased.

On the sixth day of the event, after calculation, the six territories believed that their existing combat power was sufficient to support the end of the event, so they spontaneously allocated some personnel to the areas that were more severely affected.

The three territories received support and their fighting spirit was even higher.

On the seventh day of the event, discordant voices began to be heard on the city walls in various places, such as "Make way, make way", "You're stepping on my foot!", "Can you draw the bow less violently? Your elbow hit my nose" and so on.

The health of the city wall and the blood pressure of the system rose steadily.

On the eighth day of the event, the system could no longer tolerate it and doubled the number of territories that received special attention.

But this time, before the dragon came to help, the players who were crowded on the city wall staring at each other because there were not enough monsters to kill cheered up: "Good job!"

The city walls were filled with heads, the density was as high as that of some popular attractions during the Golden Week. They rushed to attack, fearing that if they were a second late, it would be snatched away by the neighbors.

In the past, only the players trembled in fear amid the monster tides, but this time, the system also experienced the power of the human wave tactics.

Players cheered as they defeated magic with magic.

Someone calculated, "According to the remaining health of the nine territories' walls, even if the system changes the ratio of A-level monsters in all monster nests, it will be impossible to break through any city before the end of the event."

"It won't send out S-class monsters, will it?"

"Impossible." Someone immediately jumped out to refute, "Currently changing the ratio can be said to increase the difficulty within the scope allowed by the activity rules, but since the rules clearly state that only A-level monsters will appear, the system cannot violate this."

"In other words, there is no possibility of increasing the difficulty again."

The man suddenly laughed.

It turns out that the system is helpless.

The balance of victory undoubtedly tilted towards humanity.

…

On the ninth day of the event, the system hasn't caused any trouble yet, but the players are already getting restless.

"I've run out of the food I brought from the hot springs," one person announced in despair.

"Me too."

"I also……"

Everyone looked at each other.

Having no food to eat is a big deal!

Someone moved restlessly, and the person next to him got his foot stepped on. He groaned, unable to bear it any longer, and said, "I say, how about sending some people back to buy things?"

"I agree. Today is Wednesday, right? The restaurant has crispy pork. I want to eat the freshly fried crispy pork."

The person who was speaking had even memorized the weekly menu of Nuannuan Restaurant. As soon as the word "crispy pork" came out, the people around him swallowed suspiciously.

Immediately, more voices echoed the sentiment.

The players were very enthusiastic: "Yes, yes, there is no need for so many people to guard here."

"Then I'll go first..."

“I am willing to sacrifice myself and give the opportunity to earn contribution points to those who are more in need.”

"Don't say that. Opportunities like this are hard to come by. I'd better go back..."

The players smiled and gave way to each other, but their bodies turned towards the teleportation array at the same time.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that some residents from the disaster-stricken territories had sneaked in.

Supporting players: “…”

No, what are you here for?

Are you willing to give up your own territory just to eat the crispy pork that’s just out of the pot?

They shouted angrily in unison: "You are not allowed to come and grab the quota!!"

Victims: “…QAQ”

*

After a dispute that was far more intense than defending the city, the players who successfully obtained the opportunity to return to Nuannuan Hot Spring to purchase items walked into the teleportation array with their heads held high under the envious gazes of everyone.

Many of them came from other territories in the world, far away from Guangming Town. It was only after they came to support that they heard about Nuannuan Hot Spring for the first time.

They boarded the Arctic Fox bus with great anticipation and exclaimed at the oncoming buildings.

The frequent hot spring visitors suddenly felt a sense of ownership and took the initiative to act as tour guides. "Do you see the tallest building in the park in the front? That is the main building of Nuannuan Hot Spring. When I first came here, it was just a small wooden house with only a dozen guest rooms. All the surrounding buildings were built slowly after that, little by little, one by one."

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and she had witnessed the changes that Wenquan had gone through, and she couldn't help but feel emotional.

"In the beginning, it only provided hot springs and accommodation, and the area around the wooden house was bare. Later, there were more restaurants, commercial streets, homestay areas, mixed bathing areas, water parks, etc. It is fun and interesting to visit. You can spend two or three days strolling in one commercial street. The scenery is getting better and better. Do you see the lake over there? When I first came, there was no lake at all. The boss made it himself."

She pointed and sure enough, many players craned their necks to look over there.

“Can you create your own lake?”

"Oh my god, who is the boss..."

"Isn't it? The boss is awesome." The female player was proud of it. When she heard them praising Shu Mo, she was immediately happy. "It's a pity that time is tight this time. It's not the weekend. When you come next time, you must go to the shopping mall and handicraft store to have a good look. I heard that someone spent 200 points to find something worth 5,000 points in the store. He didn't keep it and sold it directly to the system. He became rich overnight!"

"5000 points?" Everyone gasped.

What do you mean by running around the store? This is clearly a lottery/ticket shop, right?

"There is also a market on Sundays, which often has all kinds of fun things. Many players will bring their own food. Without a recipe, it is impossible to reproduce the taste, but you can buy it at the market."

"Some players even bring their own flowers to sell. They look beautiful in any vase. You can't buy decorations like this in the game."

When you chop down a tree in the game, it will automatically turn into firewood. When you pick a plum blossom, the petals will disappear in your hand.

Only in Nuannuan Hot Spring can they see such a lively scene and retain those traces of vitality.

The female player couldn't help but be lost in thought.

The bus stopped at this moment, the doors opened, and the players swarmed out, rushing impatiently to the stores they had already set their eyes on. The female player came to her senses and quickly stood up.

There is a lawn in front of the station.

The grass here is green and the temperature is suitable. The moment I got off the bus, it felt like I had stepped into the long-lost spring.

The water vapor from the outdoor hot spring pool carries the smell of sulfur and warms your skin, and it seems to turn into substance and flow into every part of your body.

She took a deep breath and suddenly realized.

That's the taste of happiness.

*

The tenth day of the event.

After pretending to be dead for a whole day, the system finally launched a counterattack.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the players who were guarding on the city wall watched the light of the monster's lair flicker, revealing the shapes of densely packed A-level monsters.

Batch after batch, it seems like there is no end.

"really……"

"I knew it wouldn't end so easily." A lord touched his chest, "Fortunately, we sent people back to the hot springs to replenish supplies yesterday."

She made a gesture, and the players around her raised their weapons in unison.

Further ahead, the coiled black dragon slowly stood up, its golden eyes sharp.

…

In the warm hot spring, Shu Mo raised his head as if he sensed something, and a mass of white suddenly appeared in front of him.

The fluffy little thing jumped into my arms, chirping.

She quickly took it and almost laughed out loud because her neck was rubbed and it was so itchy.

In front of us was a group of white fluff that was more than twice as large as before.

Not long ago, that group of wild white fluff hired from outside finally succumbed to Shu Mo's power, succumbed to the temptation of melon seeds, and chose to be conquered by her.

Due to the special properties of the white fluff group, they can be merged after being captured by the same summoner, which will increase their spiritual power and make teleportation faster. Now, it takes much less time to send a letter from Guangming Town to the hot spring.

Bai Rongrong arrived at Guangming Town at noon today to be on standby. After receiving the news not long ago, she rushed back to her side almost without stopping.

A letter now lies in Shu Mo's hands.

It was clearly just a light piece of paper, but it seemed to be extremely heavy, pressing heavily on her palm.

Shu Mo rarely felt nervous.

Unfolding the letter paper, I saw Xu Hai's flamboyant handwriting on it.

"As the last wave of monsters receded, the remaining health of the Evergreen Town wall was 37.172%."

"The remaining health of the Stone Town wall is 34.320%"

"The remaining health of the Liehuo Town wall is 21.869%"

"The remaining health of the Mercury Town wall is 30.162%"

“…”

At the very end, there is a line of words that is concise and to the point.

"Boss, we held on."

We held on.

Shu Mo suddenly closed the letter and walked out of the building.

As the sun sets, two small black dots appear under the clear sky.

Many people in the square recognized the two shadows and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

The Wind Dragon arrived first with its passengers, braked suddenly, and lowered its head very naturally. The player on its back rolled smoothly into the soft snow in front of it like a garbage bag unloaded by a garbage truck. But they didn't care about much, they brushed the snow off their bodies and stood up, their eyes brighter than the light from the sky reflected on the snow.

"We won! All the territories were defended, we won!!"

The remaining players were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly exploded.

The gigantic black dragon landed in the midst of the ecstatic crowd almost right after the wind dragon.

As soon as he landed on the ground, exhausted and dusty, his pair of gilded eyes fell on Shu Mo.

The surroundings gradually fell into silence.

Someone seemed to have just realized it at this moment, and couldn't help but whisper, "By the way, how could there be a fire dragon in the game? I remember that among all the monsters found so far, none of them can use fire skills, right?"

"Who knows." The person next to him also lowered his voice, "Maybe the boss's summoned beast is as unusual as her."

There is no fire dragon in the game, but are there hot springs and delicious food in the game?

These ten days were enough for them to realize the arbitrariness and malice of the Doomsday Game. The difficulty level has been changed three times, and it is obvious that it will not give up until it achieves its goal, and it vows to wipe out a part of the players through this event.

If this is how they treat an event, would such a system really allow hot springs that are obviously "cheating" and intended to improve players' living conditions to appear in the game?

Regardless of whether they had doubts before, at least after this event, players have gradually come to their senses.

They didn't know why Shu Mo was so special, but she suddenly broke into this world of ice and snow, and everywhere they looked were the miracles she created.

They knew nothing, but they were grateful all the same.

The crowd made way for him and Black Dragon took two steps towards Shu Mo.

...Few people know that many years ago, when the doomsday game just came, an erroneous code was accidentally mixed in, giving birth to a creature that did not belong to this world.

[“They” live in volcanoes and draw power from them. 】

It writes.

[Therefore, according to the setting, fire dragons have the instinct to pursue warm things. 】

The black dragon folded its wings, bent its back, closed its eyes, and rested its huge head lightly on the girl's shoulder.

For many years after he was born, he searched in vain.

But now, he no longer needs to look for it.

Because he has found the warmest thing in the world.

A bright fire that is enough to illuminate this entire extremely cold apocalypse.

…

【“Doomsday Carnival” ended successfully.】 】

…

The dragon's body still retained the residual heat from the flames it had spewed, and it felt a little hot against his cheeks.

In my ears, the system is broadcasting tirelessly, one message after another, like an invisible urging.

Shu Mo saw the reflection of the snow on his dark scales and felt the gazes of many people around him.

They were all looking at her.

"Shu Mo, it's all over." Mo Bai said, "You can go home now."
