Ice Island...



“It’s so hot.”

Gu Mian quickly repaired the raft damaged by the second-tier fish-headed monster, then rushed back to the villa without stopping for a second, standing under the air conditioner and enjoying the cool air.

Chat channel.

"This weather is unbearably hot! I'm sweating like I just came out of the water."

"Just bear with it, bro. Once we finish the weekly activities, we can go inside and hide."

"My face hurts, is it a sun allergy?"

Wang Xiaoming: "It's finally over! I feel like the weekly activities are no challenge at all now, they were solved with ease."

[We have received player feedback and the difficulty of the next weekly event will be adjusted.]

"Damn! Did I just hear that? The system didn't say anything, did it?"

"Comrade Wang Xiaoming, you think you're so talkative? Your mom's going to explode, you know that?"

"Wang Xiaoming, you're something else! You actually dared to increase the difficulty of my game. I'll remember you. You can pray you don't run into me offline in the future!"

Wang Xiaoming: "Uh... this can't be blamed on me, right? I just said something casually, and who knew the system would suddenly give feedback? I'm totally confused."

"Heh, it's no use saying anything more, I've already remembered you."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Wang Xiaoming also got a little angry and sneered:

"So what if you remember? Do you really think I'm afraid of you? If you're so capable, let's meet up offline right now, and don't talk about the future."

"Calm down, everyone. Is it because of the hot weather? Why are you all so irritable?"

"Yes, yes, we're all compatriots, don't let a single sentence lead to a life-or-death duel!"

...

When Gu Mian came out after taking a shower, the argument in the chat channel had already subsided, and the topic had somehow shifted to what to eat for lunch.

Gu Mian: ...

Great, that's very much in line with the characteristics of people from the Blue Planet; they can't stop talking about food.

Wrapping her wet hair in a towel, Gu Mian took out a large watermelon from her backpack, peeled it, and cut the flesh.

Then put it into the beverage machine to make watermelon iced soda.

One large watermelon made eight cups of iced soda. Gu Mian sent two cups to the three-person group chat, and put the rest in her backpack to drink slowly.

"Burp~"

After finishing a glass of iced soda, Gu Mian couldn't help but burp.

Xu Kun: "Delicious! Another cup, please!"

Gu Mian lazily typed a reply: "Okay, bring something in exchange."

Xu Kun: "Sure, sure, what do you need, little sister?"

What's missing?

Gu Mian thought about it for a long time, and then realized that she didn't lack anything.

She had food, drink, weapons, and even more than a thousand bronze chests that she hadn't opened.

There probably isn't anyone in this game who has more stockpiled items than her, right?

Gu Mian: "...It seems like I don't lack anything. I'll treat you to a free watermelon iced soda."

Xu Kun: "..."

Xu Kun: "Little sister, you know you'll get beaten up if you talk like that when you go out?"

This is a survival game! And you say you lack nothing! That's just too enviable!

Gu Mian blinked innocently: "Um... how about I take back what I said?"

Xu Kun: "..."

Provoked, Xu Kun started acting crazy again, shouting, "Sister! How about you take care of me? I don't want to try anymore!"

Gu Mian: "..."

Jiang Bai: "I think you're having another episode. You're so old, and you don't know how to be charming or coax people. Why should I take care of you?"

Xu Kun was stunned: "...Old Bai, how come your mouth has become so sharp?"

It had indeed become more toxic, but Gu Mian felt that what he said resonated with her deeply.

So I opened Jiang Bai's private message and sent him the remaining four cups of watermelon iced soda as a sign of support.

...

At noon, I used the food processor to make two claypot rice dishes. I sent one to Xu Kun and then made a few iced drinks and put them in my backpack.

He took out a limited-time island access card from his backpack.

[Should I use the island access card (5 hours)?]

"yes."

The island access cards issued all limited the number of visitors to one person, so Gu Mian did not invite Xu Kun and the others to join her.

With a flash of white light, Gu Mian was teleported to a small island covered in ice and snow.

"Fuck!"

Gu Mian, who was still wearing a tank top, shorts and sandals, was instantly chilled and gasped. She hurriedly opened her backpack and pulled out a long down jacket and snow boots to put on.

"Damn it... I almost froze to death! When will this damn system ever act like a human being?!"

Gu Mian grumbled as she put on her snow boots. These were a gift from Jiang Bai, which she had kept in her backpack because she thought the green color was too ugly. Now they were finally coming in handy.

However, she was still wearing shorts on her lower body. Although her down jacket covered her calves, cold air still kept seeping in through the gaps in her clothes.

Players cannot return to the raft before the island's designated landing time ends.

Gu Mian could only shiver from the cold as she strode onto the island to explore.

Staying in one place will cause you to lose heat and your body to get colder and colder. You might as well go to the island and take a look.

Besides, since we've already come all this way, we can't just leave empty-handed.

At first glance, the entire island is completely covered in ice and snow, and all you can see is blinding white. If you look at it for too long, your eyes will even feel a stinging sensation.

Gu Mian blinked and reached out to wipe away the tears that involuntarily streamed down her face after being stimulated.

He looked down, exhaled a breath of cold air, and continued walking forward.

After walking for a while, she wasn't so cold anymore, so it seemed the temperature on the island wasn't that low.

When she was first teleported over, her clothes were too thin, and she couldn't withstand the huge temperature difference for a while.

The snow and ice covering the ground had long since frozen into ice, making it very slippery to walk on, so Gu Mian walked with extra caution.

White protrusions can be seen from time to time along the roadside, which look like resource points, but it's unclear what resources are inside.

Gu Mian didn't stop mining. She planned to wander around first and then go back to mining when the time to board the island was almost over.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if you sweat after mining, as the sudden change from hot to cold can easily make you sick.

After crossing two glaciers, Gu Mian found no resources, not even a single box...

That's ridiculous. Is there only resource points along the roadside on this island?

After walking for almost two hours, we found nothing.

Gu Mian stopped in her tracks, feeling dejected, and decided to rest for a while.

After looking around for a while without finding anywhere to sit down and rest, I had no choice but to take out a bronze box from my backpack, lay it down, and sit on it.

"call."

The cold wind howled in her ears, and before her eyes stretched a vast, barren ice field. Gu Mian glanced at it a few times and then lowered her head.

It's too bright; my eyes can't stand looking at it for long.

After sitting for a while, I felt a bit thirsty, so I opened my backpack to find some hot water to drink.

All they found were a bunch of ice cubes and iced drinks; there wasn't even a cup of hot milk tea, let alone hot water...

Left with no other option, I opened the three-person group chat: "Who among you is on the raft?"

Jiang Bai: "I'm here, what's wrong?"

Gu Mian: "Please boil some water for me."

Jiang Bai didn't ask any questions and simply agreed: "Okay, I'll go burn it now."
