The next morning.
Jiang An rubbed her sleepy eyes, slowly opened them, and drew back the curtains. When she saw the scene outside the window, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth—the outside world had undergone earth-shattering changes!
Looking around, one could see giant bears, all furry and pure white, standing silently like sculptures, their massive bodies exuding a chilling aura.
Just as Jiang An was still unsettled, that familiar mechanical voice suddenly rang out:
Good morning, everyone! It's 7:00 AM now. Our event will start promptly in half an hour, at 7:30 AM!
[Limited-time missions: 1. Survive successfully within 12 hours to receive a reward; 2. Top 100 players in the ice bear hunting rankings will receive a reward!]
Upon hearing this, Jiang An looked out the window at the numerous snow bears and was suddenly startled, inwardly groaning: "This is practically driving level 4 players into a corner! At least the powerful level 5 players have the steamship as an escape route, allowing them to flee quickly, or rely on the incredibly sturdy hull to withstand attacks. But what about the level 4 players? And what about the level 5 players' 300-kilometer mission?"
Time was of the essence, and there was no room for delay. Jiang Anxin was anxious as she hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed to the restaurant.
Upon entering the restaurant, she frantically retrieved various foods from her storage ring.
Turning quickly to the stunned little turtle beside him, he said, "Little turtle, we're about to have a new challenge! Time is running out, so let's eat quickly and fill our bellies, because we'll be fighting soon!"
The little turtle blinked its big, round, bewildered eyes, seemingly understanding something yet also not understanding anything, and nodded slightly in a daze.
However, in reality, at this moment it was like a monk who had reached a great height, completely unable to grasp the situation and utterly unaware of what had happened.
After taking out the little turtle's food, Jiang An quickly retrieved her own portion from her storage ring. While enjoying her meal, she casually activated the light screen.
Chewing on the fragrant food, she secretly rejoiced: thankfully, she hadn't been lazy last night and had prepared a large amount of food in advance, enough to satisfy her and her little turtle's appetite for several days.
During a break from eating, she glanced at the little turtle beside her. The little guy was lying obediently next to the basin, mouth open, wolfing down the food inside.
Meanwhile, sighs of despair could be heard over the regional channel.
Someone shouted angrily, "What on earth is going on? Where did all these snow bears suddenly come from?! Is this stupid game trying to kill us?"
Someone else cursed, "Damn it! At this rate, I'm afraid I won't survive. When those snow bears swarm up, we'll have nowhere to escape from this little raft!"
"Forget it, I'll still be a hero eighteen years from now!"
"Waaaaah... I don't want to die like this! Is there any kind person who can save me?!"
"Damn it, I just went outside to kill snow bears, but who would have thought I couldn't kill them at all now? There's a light barrier blocking my way!"
"Don't take any chances. Since it starts at 7:30, then the battle between us can only begin at 7:30!"
Let's get off the raft and escape!
... ...
An atmosphere of despair and fear permeated the entire regional channel.
Jiang An stared intently at the screen, but his hands never stopped moving. He stuffed large mouthfuls of food into his mouth, swallowing it whole without time to chew.
Just a few minutes later, the man and the turtle finished their breakfast and filled their stomachs.
She then took the little turtle outside the steamship.
Although we can't hunt ice bears now, we can discover their weaknesses in advance.
She came to the snow bear closest to the steamship, and upon closer inspection, she couldn't help but gasp: the snow bear in front of her was unusually large, like a small hill;
Its entire body is covered with an incredibly thick layer of white fur, like an indestructible suit of armor; its sharp claws gleam with a cold light, sending chills down one's spine.
Such a powerful being is clearly beyond the reach of ordinary weapons.
Its only weakness is its eyes.
Jiang An carefully examined the snow bear cub before hurriedly returning to the steamship.
"Ash, the safety of the steamship is in your hands. If the shield drops below 60%, immediately use an energy stone to replenish the energy!"
Ash responded quickly after hearing the command:
[Master, Ash has received your message! Ash will be monitoring the steamship closely from now on!]
After receiving Xiao Zhi's affirmative answer, Jiang An felt a little relieved, but she did not stop walking. Instead, she quickened her pace and rushed into the cabin, heading straight for her private workspace.
Because she knew that today's battle would be exceptionally arduous and protracted, and that if she wanted to successfully enter the top 100, brute force alone would not be enough; she would also need to employ methods to defeat her enemies.
Jiang An plans to make a batch of bows and arrows, which will be used in the first round of attacks to kill the ice bears. By taking advantage of long-range shooting, he aims to kill some of the ice bears and weaken the enemy's strength.
Then they engaged the ice bear in a direct battle on the sea.
In today's battle, firearms are undoubtedly the most lethal weapon.
Unfortunately, despite the bustling activity on the trading channel, no such items were ever seen.
It seems that no player has ever obtained the blueprints for firearms. Even the few lucky ones who do own firearms only obtained them through a chance-based method like opening crates.
Jiang An couldn't help but sigh, if he wanted to find more and better firearms, he probably had no choice but to place his hopes on that mysterious auction house.
Unfortunately, the auction house has only held one auction to date.
At this moment, Jiang An had very few bullets left, less than a hundred.
Under such circumstances, at this stage they can only rely on the various weapons and equipment they already possess.
Among the many options, the bow and arrow is undoubtedly the best choice at present.
Time flows slowly like fine sand in an hourglass, and the sound of each grain of sand falling seems to be clearly audible.
Jiang An stood anxiously in front of the workbench, concentrating intently on making bows and arrows.
At this moment, without even turning on the light screen, she knew that the weapons capable of long-range attacks in the trading channel had become highly sought-after items.
Unfortunately, at this thrilling and crucial moment, few players were willing to spend their precious time trading, as everyone was fully engaged in the intense and fierce preparations for battle.
