Chapter 077: Put on a down jacket!
Points?
In-game store?
Xia Yuan didn't have time to think because it was too cold!
I felt as if I was standing on a snowy field. The snow beneath my feet was so deep that I couldn't see the bottom. After taking only two steps, a series of deep pits were left behind.
The footprints collapsed behind me, the snow was so thick!
Xia Yuan raised his eyes and saw the mountains in the distance, which were also covered with ice and snow.
Behind me is the distant horizon, and there seems to be a sea at the end, but it is not clear.
It's too cold.
And Xia Yu'an was still wearing summer clothes.
hiss--
Xia Yu'an hugged his little quilt tightly...his little arms.
"Host, you can try to buy something from the system store to try it out!"
Oh, by the way, Xiaogua just said there is a store.
What? You can buy things in the world!
That’s great!!
It's so cold here, this feature is like a pillow for you when you feel sleepy!
Xia Yuan quickly opened the store and found that the currency in the store was not points, but coins.
The first reaction was to search for "warming" and "down jacket".
The down jackets are arranged in order of price, and the first one is a yellow product called "Duck Down Jacket".
Just like the skin in the game.
The price displayed above is: "20000" coins.
You are stealing money!
"Host, I'm not trying to steal your money. This is the price set by the Price Bureau of Quick Wear, and you won't give me any money." Xiaogua quickly distanced himself from the matter.
Xia Yu'an: "...You are good at passing on the blame."
"That's not the case!" Xiaogua was speechless: "Host, please take a look at the redemption ratio!"
Xia Yu'an then took a closer look and found that the redemption ratio was 1:1000, so 20 points could be exchanged for 20,000 store coins!
Big profit!
Being accustomed to the prices in the fast-paced game, Xia Yuan didn't even feel that it was a rip-off at such a high price.
Instead, I feel I’ve made a profit.
I really was PUA...
But I really need this down jacket...
Alas! When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!
The situation forces us to do so! The situation forces us to do so!
He who knows current affairs is a handsome little cat!
He still had 40 points, half of which was enough for him to buy the down jacket. Xia Yuan waved his hand and bought the down jacket.
Another thing... is energy.
In this place where no one even shits, Xia Yuan felt that he urgently needed energy to make a fire.
Otherwise you will be frozen to death.
I would rather starve to death than freeze to death!
No, no, no, I think it's better to be frozen to death.
Xia Yu'an was so cold that he started to think of ten thousand ways of dying.
Eat a full meal before you die and be a full ghost.
Xia Yu'an found that he needed to make a fire whether for heating or cooking.
Then buy a lighter and that’s it!
Xia Yuan clicked on a product called "Ordinary Lighter". This product is on sale. The original price is 20 points, which is 20,000. The current price is still 20,000... but it comes with a free "Magical Wheel of Fortune".
It's a lottery.
Xia Yu'an knew that this kind of lottery was a scam. The probability of winning the super prize was 0.0001%, infinitely approaching 0, just like the card-drawing game played by humans on Earth.
So I don't expect much from this lucky draw.
I bought a lighter.
With a "click" sound, money went into the pocket, and a lighter appeared in Xia Yu'an's hand.
Xia Yuan just bought a lighter and was stabbed in the leg by something. Huh?
"Stop, don't move!"
"You have been arrested by our Hedgehog Family!" the other party said seriously.
I saw a few shivering little hedgehogs standing in the snow in front of me, holding spears made of their own thorns in their hands.
But because it is too small, it looks more like a fork than a spear.
puff.
It's so cute to see these little guys, whose height is only as high as their calves, saying these things!
"Where are you from?" The little hedgehogs poked with their "spears" and asked in a mysterious manner.
"I……"
Before Xia Yu'an could explain, they surrounded her and looked at her curiously: "What are you wearing?"
Pulling the white elastic band of Xia Yu'an's clothes: "How magical!"
“It looks warm!”
"Where did you come from?"
I'm so curious!
One of the little hedgehogs in the center reached out to pull the zipper of Xia Yuan's clothes.
Unfortunately it is too short and can only reach the end of the zipper.
Xia Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief. If the door was opened, a cold wind would blow back in. He had worked so hard to keep warm!
"You, have been arrested, come with us." said the little hedgehog, with his hands on his hips.
Xia Yuan:?
The little hedgehog puffed up his cheeks and said, "…Morning…What are you looking at? I've never seen a hedgehog in winter before!"
"It's snowy and windy here all year round, so we won't hibernate!"
Otherwise, the food would be frozen to death before it could be found.
As the little hedgehog spoke, he changed into the appearance of a dwarf with a red face.
Xia Yu'an was shocked. He couldn't describe what he saw. The little hedgehog looked like the dwarfs in Snow White, but with thorns on its head. It was like a cartoon that had come into reality.
This is...
"Orc?"
"Yes, we are beastmen." The little hedgehog looked at Xia Yu'an strangely: "You are a beastman, right? You are so beautiful, and you have such a perfect human form. What is your true form?"
Xia Yuan got excited when he heard this. He put his hands on his hips and said, "I'm a kitten!"
"Cat? Cat? What is that?"
"It's a big tiger! Awooo~~"
"Haha, you're lying!"
"It's true, I have a brother who is a snow leopard!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"How could you possibly know this top predator!"
The hedgehogs laughed.
"Snow leopards are the most beautiful creatures in the entire snowfield!" The little hedgehog said with admiration, and he kept talking: "Their heroic posture when hunting..."
Alas, they are not comparable to herbivores like little hedgehogs!
"Now that you are captured, you are ours!"
"It's true!" The kitten thought of his father and brothers, and he was not convinced, and he kept talking: "I also have a white tiger father, a black panther father... and a tiger lion brother!"
"Wow, hahaha." Everyone laughed until tears came out.
"You made it up very well. Don't make it up next time."
The little hedgehog poked Xia Yu'an's leg with a fork: "Come on!"
The other little hedgehogs nodded: "Yeah, follow us!"
"Where are you going?"
"Go to our lair!"
[Good fellows, old nest, if you don't know, you might think you are bandits! ]
"What did you say?" The little hedgehog thought he was hallucinating.
"Ah? No?" Xia Yu'an blinked.
What did I say!
Little Hedgehog: ...
He didn't really open his mouth.
It turns out that the weather is too cold and I am hallucinating!
It has not had a good meal for a long time! No, it has not had a full meal!
Besides, it’s so cold at home that I’m shivering!
Humph, let’s store this “little kitten” as their food today!
Bah, they are letting this little kitten be a little slave to find food for them!
"Okay."
Just go back with them, after all, they don't seem to have enough killing power.
Xia Yu'an needs an anchor to understand this world.
That's it.
Xia Yu'an followed the little hedgehog, walking in the wind and snow.
The little hedgehog took out a small fork and a broken chain from somewhere and tied it around Xia Yu'an's wrist. Three of them in front and three in the back surrounded Xia Yu'an and walked back.
Xia Yu'an looked at the ice and snow on both sides and couldn't help but wonder, is my brother here too?
Although I just said it with full confidence, but...
I miss my brother.
Did my brother really travel through time as well?
Xia Yu'an began to have wild thoughts.
Do people have souls after they die?
Did my brother go to another world, or...?
There are some things that you cannot think about too much, otherwise your heart will feel a tingling pain.
After all, my brother has traveled through time. If he is really still alive, should he have any memories?
The environment here seems harsh, so cold, and the area is huge and endless. If my father and brother traveled through time like last time, where would they be? How are they doing? Did they come earlier or later than me?
Will they meet again?
Xia Yu'an followed the little hedgehog to their residence, which turned out to be a small cave.
Don’t be fooled by the cute and fierce appearance of the little hedgehogs, they are actually very simple-minded!
The location of the cave is not good, there are air leaks everywhere, and the seal is not tight.
Xia Yu'an couldn't help but teach them how to block the wind.
"The wind is blowing from that direction, so the hay should be piled in that direction."
Xia Yuan continued, "Do you have any wood? Dry grass is still too leaky! Or ice cubes will work too!"
[There should be ice everywhere here, right? It's not difficult to go to the river and knock off a few. ]
The little hedgehog was shocked: "You are still smart!"
Humph.
Xia Yuan held up his chin: [If only we were still in the interstellar era, we could add ice cubes and beer to see if there is any! ]
【It's so relaxing to drink cold beer and watch TV in the middle of the night! 】
[Oh, I miss my brother! ]
The little hedgehog prince ignored Xia Yu'an's confused thoughts and ordered his men to block the entrance of the cave.
As he was thinking, Xia Yu'an realized that the little hedgehog had disappeared at some point.
There is nothing at the entrance of the cave. Where did it go?
Through observation, Xia Yu'an discovered that the leading little hedgehog seemed to be relatively young, but he was a child of a chief type. He had a certain prestige among the many little hedgehogs and was highly respected by everyone.
Xia Yu'an looked deep into the cave. It was very dark inside, with only a faint light. He could vaguely see a dying hedgehog grandma.
Also, there is no food supply in this hedgehog cave, and it is cold. I don’t know how they survive the cold.
All the little hedgehogs were very thin and looked malnourished.
At this time, the disappeared little hedgehog prince came back again.
He turned back into his original form, with a red fruit stuck on his back.
"This is a local specialty of our area!" He said proudly, "You are jealous!"
He turned his back specifically to show Xia Yu'an.
Xia Yu'an was indeed surprised. How could there be small red fruits in this place where birds don't poop?
And the little hedgehog looks so funny with the fruit stuck on its back!
Kind of cute!
The little hedgehog gave him one with a painful look on his face: "Hmph, little slave, eat it. If you eat this, you will be my slave!"
Xia Yu'an took the fruit but didn't eat it. However, it looked very sour and made her mouth drool.
"I won't eat it! Even if I eat it, I'm not your slave!"
"Then what are you?"
"The nest, the nest belongs to my brother..." Baby!
"ha??"
A person came into the den, and everyone was very interested in Xia Yu'an. A group of little hedgehogs came over, looked at the down jacket left and right, and touched it with their hands.
They began to study the zipper, pulling it curiously.
Xia Yuan: “…”
Fortunately, he pulled the zipper high enough, otherwise the clothes would have been ruined by them!
Curiosity killed the hedgehog!
"Have you had enough fun?" Xia Yu'an looked at the little hedgehog prince.
The young master pouted, a little embarrassed: "I, I'm not really curious either."
"When you've had enough fun, go find some firewood and stones," said Xia Yu'an.
“Ahem…”
The old lady in the room was coughing weakly and looking pale.
She looked like she was freezing to death.
Skinny as a stick.
"Go find some sticks quickly." Xia Yu'an urged.
"What, what are you doing?" The little hedgehog was wary and hesitant.
"And stones."
"Do you want to make a weapon?" The little hedgehog clenched his fists.
Could it be that this person wanted to tie the stone to a stick and escape during the chaos...
"I want to start a fire!"
Looking at the little hedgehog's expression, Xia Yu'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Fire? That magical flame?"
"Wow——" In an instant, all the little hedgehogs cheered, with light in their eyes, and they looked at Xia Yu'an differently.
"That's something only dragons have!!"
Dragons? Are there still dragons in this world?
It’s the same species as fourth brother!
Never mind, he had seen a lot of dragons in his previous life. His brothers even went to the snowfield and kicked ice dragons like balls, so it wasn't that rare.
"Anyway, hurry up, I want to make a fire!"
"Oh, okay."
A group of little hedgehogs gathered around a simple fire made of stones and watched Xia Yuan take out a lighter.
"What is this?"
The little hedgehogs cried out in surprise, "Is it transparent crystal?"
"There is fire, there is fire, a crystal that emits fire!!"
God said, “Let there be light…”
And there was light.
The little hedgehogs looked at Xia Yu'an as if he were a god.
Great, with these fires, grandma is saved!
Feeling the air gradually warming up, they no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold!
Wow--
Little Hedgehog Master Wei Ci also looked at Xia Yu'an with admiration. How could this man be so amazing? He solved their urgent problem in one go. Moreover, this was fire, fire! !
Rare fire that only dragons have!!
Most beastmen use their own fur to keep warm, and also the hay they collect!
But, but, Xia Yu'an was his captured little slave. Although he admired him, he could not show his weakness.
Unexpectedly, Wei Ci took great care to wrap the iron chain around his wrist twice.
"Let me go!"
With such a magical slave, it is impossible to let him go!
"No! You have to be a member of our great hedgehog family!"
"Haha, you dare to detain me! Aren't you afraid of my ferocious beast brothers!"
"I'm not afraid!"
"Since you are so pitiful, our Hedgehog Family will take you in out of mercy. Don't be ungrateful!"
"You must stay!" A'la started to act like a scoundrel and shamelessly.
"I'm not afraid of tigers, lions, or snow leopards!"
“…”
“…”
Why is it so quiet?
Why don’t you guys help out?
Are you guys crying because of the roasted fruits?
With the fire, the little hedgehogs started roasting the fruits, eager to do so.
Others put their hands over the flames, feeling the heat, and were nearly burned.
But, but——Wei Ci felt something was wrong.
Why is everyone so quiet suddenly?
Look back.
A sturdy and mighty snow leopard appeared in front of the door.
Sit down on the ground.
