Chapter 87 Extreme Cold Weather, Muddy Waters



"Sang Sang, what's wrong with you?" Shen Zhiyi asked with concern.

Sangsang sniffed, "Ugh, it's still too cold. I'm freezing. It wasn't this cold back in the north."

"But thankfully, Ah Feng and the little one are warm."

Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I estimate the temperature will drop further, so make sure you're prepared."

Sangsang nodded, and when Chen Peng didn't answer the video call, she asked, "Why hasn't Brother Peng arrived yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Peng entered the video call.

"Sorry I'm late."

"We were just talking about why you hadn't arrived yet." Shen Zhiyi yawned; the black wolf's body was warm, making her sleepy again.

Chen Peng touched his hair, seemingly unaffected by the extreme cold: "The supplies that just fell from that meteorite."

"A few meteorites just fell outside my house, so I went to take a look."

"Brother Peng, aren't you cold? Why are you going out?" Sangsang felt cold for Chen Peng just looking at him.

Chen Peng thought for two seconds and replied, "Actually, it's not so bad, it's just that I can't stay outside for long."

"By the way, Zhiyi, I just sent you a blueprint via private message."

"What blueprints?" Shen Zhiyi asked, already opening Chen Peng's private message interface.

[Fireplace: Provides a touch of warmth in extremely cold weather. Materials needed: 50 stones, 30 adhesive, 20 iron blocks. Crafting time: 30 minutes.]

(Never mind me, the information is just made up, just take a look, everyone.)

Shen Zhiyi looked around and realized that if a fireplace were installed, she could sleep against that wall, and it would definitely be very warm at night.

"Thanks. Bring over a copy of your materials later, and I'll do yours too."

Shen Zhiyi clicked to study the blueprints and planned to make the fireplace later.

"Huh? What is that?" Sangsang was still confused.

Chen Peng said helplessly, "The fireplace, I just gave Zhiyi a blueprint for a fireplace, and I'll give you some chocolates later."

"Oh, okay!"

"Wait! Is it snowing outside?" Sangsang caught a glimpse of white outside the window out of the corner of her eye.

She rubbed her eyes, thinking she must have seen wrong.

Shen Zhiyi had covered the window on her side with a piece of cotton cloth to increase the warmth of the room.

She nudged the little dried fish nestled at her feet. "Little dried fish, go and lift the curtain on the window a little so I can take a look."

Little Dried Fish let out a cry, jumped off the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), then jumped onto the table, and used its paws to lift the cotton cloth a little.

Shen Zhiyi looked at the small gap created by the dried fish, and saw that it was indeed snowing outside.

"It really did snow, but not heavily."

Chen Peng also looked out the window, "You two remember to go out and shovel the snow, it's going to snow harder and harder."

Shen Zhiyi nodded.

"Hiss, is there going to be a huge blizzard?" Sangsang gasped.

Chen Peng was still observing the situation outside the window. "It's hard to say, given the current situation, it's not impossible."

"Then I'll go tinker with it some more, while it's not too cold yet." Sangsang hung up the video call and went off to get busy.

Shen Zhiyi chatted with Chen Peng for a few minutes before hanging up the video call.

She opened today's lucky wheel, wanting to see if there was anything related to it.

[Lucky Spin: Blizzard*1, Sleet*1, One More Time*1, Thank You for Your Patronage*2, Blanket*1, Thermos*1, System-Special Cotton Shoes*1, System-Special Gloves*1, Sleet and Hail*1]

Okay, so these three will appear in the extreme cold in the future, which is really a headache.

It seems we still need to find some time to bring in the banana trees and orange trees. Blizzards and sleet are fine, but if we encounter snow mixed with hail, those plants outside will be finished.

Shen Zhiyi didn't go back to sleep. She got up and tidied herself up.

I put out some food for the three of them, and I also ate two of the chive pancakes that Sangsang brought over.

I opened the chat area again to see what other players were doing.

But as soon as I entered, I saw the number of players dropping rapidly.

【Seventh Galaxy Communication Zone (/)】

In just one night, the number of people dropped by 10,000.

These people all lost their lives in their sleep due to the rapidly dropping temperature.

Some players who were already sick also quietly disappeared last night.

Players who have lost their lives huddle on the exposed nebula, slowly being covered by falling snow.

Finally, as time passed, the nebula began to break apart, dissipate, or drift away into the distance.

The player who died fell into interstellar space after the nebula disappeared, and slowly, he was gone.

In the communication area.

"Help! Please give me a blanket, I really can't hold on any longer."

"I finally found my sister, but now I can't find her again."

Everyone understands what this means: that person's sister died last night.

"Is Boss Xing here? Can you continue selling iron furnaces? I'll take as many supplies as you need!"

"Tch, you'd be better off buying iron furnaces from our Wan Jing Chamber of Commerce than from that so-called big shot of yours. Do you even want to talk to her now?"

The person speaking was a player who had already joined the Wan Jing Chamber of Commerce. He had always disliked that big shot Xing, and after joining the Wan Jing Chamber of Commerce, he looked down on others even more.

"Although our Wanjing products are much more expensive, we have a consistent supply. Look at that big shot Xing, he still has to fight for them."

At this moment, a player jumped out and started yelling: "Is your Wan Jing Chamber of Commerce alright? We're all Earthlings, why can't we unite a little?"

"All you do all day is sow discord. Is that fun?"

"Your stuff, if someone buys it, they buy it; if no one buys it, you keep talking about it all the time. When will this ever end?"

"That's right, everything in Wanjing is so expensive, who can afford it? Boss Xing's stuff is a bit pricey too, but it's still better than Wanjing Chamber of Commerce, right?"

These words infuriated the man. "It's hilarious! You say Boss Xing is always bringing out things to trade with you, but have you ever thought about the Butterfly Coins from before?"

“Because no one knew the purpose of the Butterfly Coin, you took the Butterfly Coin to trade with her, and she accepted it all without hesitation.”

"Then the bard merchants appeared. Does Boss Xing really not know anything about the inside story behind this?"

"With the Butterfly Coins he got from you, Boss Xing must be living a very comfortable life now."

These words silenced some players. Indeed, they had all traded with Star Boss using Butterfly Coins, and Star Boss had accepted them in return.

When they saw the butterfly coins in the bard's hand, they remembered.

However, due to the approaching extreme cold, they didn't have time to think about that much.

But now it's been brought up again.
