Gu Mian: "..."
Was this younger brother always this irritable?
Feeling dazed and confused.
How come she remembers him being quite well-behaved when they met before?
...
[Received 1 Diamond Chest.]
[Talent used, obtain 2 Diamond Chests.]
The mechanical system notification sounded, briefly waking Gu Mian for a second before she fell back into a deep sleep.
“Hiss… It’s so cold!”
The next morning, Gu Mian was woken up by the cold.
The first thing that caught my eye when I opened my eyes was the two boxes on the floor. Then I quickly jumped out of bed, grabbed the air conditioner remote from the table, and turned on the heating mode.
I don't know how many degrees it suddenly dropped; it's gotten this cold.
After the air conditioner ran for a few minutes, the indoor temperature gradually rose, and she finally didn't have to stay wrapped in a blanket and hide in bed anymore.
Pulling back the curtains, all I could see was a vast expanse of white.
It's snowing!
Gu Mian put on a thick cotton-padded coat and pushed open the door to see that the raft was covered with a thick layer of snow and the sea was covered with a thin layer of ice.
It looks like it's been snowing for a while now.
A cold wind howled past, and Gu Mian shivered twice before quickly running back to her room.
It's fucking cold.
As soon as she entered the room, she broke out in a thin layer of sweat from the heat, so Gu Mian quickly took off her cotton-padded coat, leaving her only in a short-sleeved nightgown.
The diamond chest was still on the floor, and instead of putting it in her backpack to save, she just opened it casually.
[Advanced Nutrient Solution *1]
[Relic Fragment*1]
[Talent used, gain 2x Advanced Nutrient Solution and 2x Relic Fragment.]
After putting the supplies into her backpack, Gu Mian got up and went to the bathroom in her room to wash up.
...
Other players also started discussing the sudden heavy snow in the chat channel.
"Achoo! Who's the kind person who didn't warn me before the temperature dropped? I'm so cold my nose is running!"
"Brother, you're not alone. I'm still shivering from the cold!"
"I need a cold medicine, or some food that can cure a cold!"
"Why did it suddenly get so hot? Is the system about to do something big again?"
"Am I the only one concerned about how long this sharp drop in temperature will last? At this rate of cooling, the sea should freeze over by tonight."
The sea being frozen means we can't salvage the supply crates anymore. Are we going to starve?
"Um... use the Island Exploration Card?"
How many sheets do you have? Will they last until the cooling effect ends?
"Fifteen days. This snowfall will last for fifteen days. Everyone just needs to get through these fifteen days!"
How did you know the time?
"[Image] I found a note in the box before, but I didn't know what it meant at the time. Now I know it refers to the time of this snowfall."
"Great! I was really afraid the rain would keep going and I wouldn't be able to get the chest. Without food and water, I would be doomed!"
...
When it comes to supplies, Gu Mian is probably the least afraid.
It's no exaggeration to say that even if she never gets the box back, the supplies she has are enough to feed her for the rest of her life.
After a quick breakfast, I invited the players I had selected to Moon Island, and then teleported back to my villa to relax.
By noon, the seawater had completely frozen over with a thick layer of ice.
"Family, I saw a box frozen in the sea. Is there any way to get it out?"
The players who were diving offered their advice and strategies.
"Just use a pickaxe to chisel a hole in the surrounding ice."
"What a terrible idea! If we don't do it right, we'll fall into the sea ourselves."
"So what good ideas do you have? Tell me about them."
"I don't."
"Damn it! You didn't, and you still say my idea was terrible?"
"You can borrow the icebreaker, but you have to pay me 1,000 points first."
"Okay, I've already messaged you privately."
...
I had just opened the instant noodle cup and was about to pour in boiling water when Xu Kun's video call came in.
"My dear sister, what have you been busy with these past few days?"
Gu Mian shook the instant noodle container: "Let's get ready to eat instant noodles."
Xu Kun: "Hey, we really are on the same wavelength! I was just about to eat instant noodles too!"
Gu Mian: "Well said. Don't say it again next time."
He poured about half a bucket of boiling water into the noodle bucket, then used the included fork to hold the lid and rim together, placed it on a table, and then looked at Xu Kun again:
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xu Kun pouted: "What are you saying? Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"
Gu Mian said matter-of-factly, "That's right! If you're bored and want to chat with someone, you should go find Jiang Bai!"
Xu Kun: "..."
My affections were misplaced!
He rubbed his face vigorously and sighed helplessly, "Okay, I was just asking if you want to run a dungeon together."
Gu Mian: "You should have said so earlier! Is it an advanced version?"
Xu Kun: "Yeah, are we going or not?"
Gu Mian: "Of course I'll go! Why not earn points? But I'll have to wait a bit while I finish my instant noodles."
Xu Kun: "Okay, okay, then give me a shout after you finish eating."
...
Stepping on the withered yellow leaves, a crisp "rustling" sound immediately followed.
The damp air was filled with the scent of air and earth, and the dense canopy of trees blocked most of the sunlight, making the forest very dark.
Wu Di: "Is this instance in the forest?"
Gu Xiaobei: "Congratulations, you said something pointless."
Wu Di: "..."
Zhou Ye: "I wonder what kind of strange thing it is this time."
