Hong Gui was the first to realize that if the snowfall and temperature continued, the lake would likely freeze over, and if it did, people could go ice skating.
However, they didn't have ice skates and couldn't make them, so he rushed to make them. But one person couldn't keep up, so he brought Chen Yang and Guo Zifeng, two experienced skaters, to help him make them.
Li Sen was also secretly making leather shoes. He and Hong Gui would secretly make them after nightfall.
Hong Gui didn't tell everyone because Li Sen had instructed him to, and besides, the lake might not be frozen solid enough for skating, so he didn't want everyone to be disappointed.
However, all their hard work paid off; the lake froze over, and it was quite thick, so there was no need to worry about falling in.
That's when their painstakingly crafted ice skates came in handy.
There are only a dozen or so pairs of skates in total, so everyone has to take turns trying them out. But excluding the elderly, everyone actually has quite a bit of time to skate.
This makes the cold winter much more endearing; at least, the experience of skating on a lake is something most people haven't had before.
Because Chen Yang lives in HZ, most of the residents are from the south. Even Tang Jiaqi, who works in the capital, is from the south. Only Xu Meng is from the north, but she has no experience skating on the lake.
The locals, who already knew how to roller skate, quickly got the hang of it and started teaching the beginners.
Chen Yang wasn't very good at it at first, but he had great balance, so he could learn it almost instantly and was able to do freestyle performances in an hour.
Furthermore, the ice skates have low resistance, allowing him to maximize the effect of his lightness and speed, shooting out like a bullet as he glides across the ice.
"Alien Yang, take me flying!" Li Su'er hurriedly caught up.
On land, she couldn't keep up with Chen Yang; if Chen Yang carried her, they wouldn't be able to go fast. But on the ice, it was no problem.
Chen Yang hesitated for a moment because he was moving too fast, and if something unexpected happened, he wasn't sure if he could guarantee Li Su'er's safety. He was running at about 120 miles per hour on the ice, which was only up to his physical limits.
"Why think so much? You've already climbed the snow-capped mountain, do you think I'd be afraid of ice skating?" Li Su'er said.
Chen Yang thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed true. What was the point of doing anything if you were always hesitant and indecisive? So, he pulled Li Su'er along and started skating.
Because of Li Su'er's presence, the start was much slower, but the resistance from the ice skates was really low, and gradually, the speed increased. Furthermore, due to inertia, the speed continued to rise.
Chen Yang's lightness of body couldn't affect Li Su'er, but he could help her break through the wind. Once the speed increased, the wind became the biggest obstacle. After Chen Yang blocked most of the wind for Li Su'er, she faced a lot of resistance.
Even so, Li Su'er could still feel the howling wind. When the fierce wind blew past her ears, it was as if an avalanche and a tsunami were coming at the same time. She could not hear any other sound except for the wind.
Their speed has already exceeded 60 miles per hour.
In a car, 60 mph doesn't feel like much. On a bicycle, 60 mph is quite fast, and it can be exciting and unsafe. But if you're just wearing ice skates, the experience is completely different; your heart rate will increase significantly.
Although it was fast, Li Su'er really didn't feel safe at all. At that speed, she could be sent flying by the slightest accident.
Chen Yang glanced at Li Su'er and sped up again, gradually approaching 80 miles per hour.
Li Su'er was truly terrified, extremely terrified. The speed was too fast; even driving a car felt fast, let alone a person.
Fortunately, Chen Yang did not accelerate further, and the ice surface was flat.
Gradually, Li Su'er began to feel a bit excited, but she dared not move and could only let Chen Yang pull her along as they slid down the school track. This was actually Chen Yang's limit speed.
Li Su'er was just being carried along, so of course she felt it was dangerous. But for Chen Yang, 80 yards was within the safe range. He could definitely guarantee his own safety, but he couldn't guarantee Li Su'er's safety.
After gliding for a while, he gradually slowed down. Even after Li Su'er stopped, her heart was still pounding. It was so exciting!
"Dad, I want one too!" Chen Liu skated over in an inward-facing pose. He wasn't very good at skating yet and was still learning.
Since he had already taken Li Su'er skiing before, Chen Yang felt that taking Chen Liu along would be fine too. He was more confident in protecting Chen Liu's physique.
"Okay," he said.
He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, as four pairs of murderous eyes immediately swept over him.
His ex-girlfriend, current girlfriend, mother, and grandmother were all glaring at him, all with expressions that said, "You dare to try ice skating in Chenliu?"
Chen Yang immediately stopped, saying to Chen Liu, "I'll take you skating slowly; children shouldn't skate so fast."
Seeing Chen Liu's disappointed expression, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief after sensing that the four women had withdrawn their gazes.
"I'm sorry, son, but these four women are not people your father can afford to offend. One of them could kill me instantly, and all four of them together could annihilate me into dust," Chen Yang thought to himself.
He taught Chen Liu to ice skate, and Chen Liu quickly got the hang of it. Then he went on to teach other friends. He was very happy in the class, where he not only learned a lot of knowledge, but also met adults who were just as smart as himself.
Those talented children who entered the micro-realm now understood why Chen Liu was so outstanding. With double the study time, how could he not excel?
The Micro World Library is now almost entirely occupied by these kids, who are constantly reading, researching, and discussing. Seeing that Chen Liu is happy, Chen Yang and the others stop worrying about his studies; as long as Chen Liu has a happy childhood, that's all that matters.
Previously, I was worried that Chen Liu was too far behind his peers and wouldn't have the joy of childhood, but now I don't have that worry anymore.
Jing Wu has now completely given up competing with them, and he has also brought his father in. He studies obediently every day, and the time he spends with his girlfriend is controlled.
Jing Wu's father was a friend of Yun Hu and was also a soldier, though he was the rather arrogant type.
Unfortunately, his arrogance was shattered by Chen Yang. When he saw Chen Yang playing with Hei, wrestling with Hei and actually winning, he completely shut up.
Although it's cold in the micro-world during winter, everyone has plenty of fun.
The only regret was that many fish in the pond froze to death, and they really had no way to deal with it. Fortunately, many fish were cold-resistant and could survive by hiding in deeper water. Chen Yang and the others would help break the ice in the pond every day to ensure that the ice would not get too thick.
Yu Xuan made an ice sculpture at the main entrance of the Micro Realm, depicting the image of the Cang Er Snow Mountain. Placing it at the entrance is simply amazing.
Xue Kui was also brought over from the snowy region by Master Chanshan. It quickly became familiar with Ouhuang and Heihun and began to bully other carnivores.
However, Xue Kui inevitably became one of Sanpang's mounts. Sanpang seemed to have a talent for this, with his riding skills at max level. He could ride any creature, and even three leopards that had not yet grown up were mercilessly "crushed" by him.
