Chapter 147 Temperature Drop, Little Bird
Luo Xing was a young man in his early twenties, short in stature, with big eyes and two dimples, who looked very clever.
He jogged over to Ji Wenqiao, who was beaming and gesturing wildly as she talked for a long time.
Zhou Xinyao, who was far away, secretly glanced at him twice, then strolled over to Zhu Xiong's side and said, "Tsk, the guild leader is very happy. This is the first time I've seen her smile so brightly since we entered the game so many days ago."
Zhu Xiong was also jealous: "What's so great about that kid Luo Xing? How come he can make the gang leader so happy?"
Zhou Xinyao shook her head: "I don't think it has anything to do with him. The gang leader probably has some good news."
Zhu Xiong hesitated, about to walk that way, but then stopped, his face darkening: "You should have told us first."
Zhou Xinyao immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, we are the closest people to the gang leader."
The two whispered among themselves for a long time, still unable to figure out what had happened to make Ji Wenqiao, such a cold and aloof person, smile so broadly.
You should know that Ji Wenqiao has had a dark expression on her face for two days.
Zhou Xinyao chatted with Zhu Xiong for a long time but found that she hadn't gained anything, so she returned to the RV in disappointment.
Now, twenty or thirty elites from the Ji family gang have formed a convoy, a long line of cars, which is quite a sight.
Zhou Xinyao was weak in combat. She was in the middle of the convoy. She returned to her RV and immediately opened the chat panel.
Ji Xinghan sent her a message.
Ji Xinghan stood up: "Is Luo Xing one of the people you're helping?"
Zhou Xinyao: "Yes!"
Ji Xinghan asked curiously, "Why is Ji Wenqiao collecting these unknown pearls?"
Zhou Xinyao sighed: "I don't know. Apart from Ji Wenqiao, no one else knows about this. Even Luo Xing is a new member of the gang. We don't know anything about him. He's very tight-lipped and doesn't talk to anyone except Ji Wenqiao."
Ji Xinghan pondered for a moment, then looked at the unidentified bead in his hand.
Since Ji Wenqiao also wanted it, she couldn't let go even more.
Keep it!
Zhou Xinyao thought for a moment and said, "Ji Wenqiao suddenly became very happy, extremely happy!"
"She's happy?" Ji Xinghan asked in surprise.
That shouldn't be happening!
The server merge has just ended, and Ji Wenqiao has lost the top spot in points. Server 55 also lost in the server merge battle. Many people have opinions about her and even curse at her in the chat channel. Isn't she very angry?
What's there to be happy about?
Ji Xinghan felt that something was very wrong.
Suddenly, a chill swept over me.
"Achoo!" Ji Xinghan sneezed loudly.
I don't know when, but the heat subsided, and because the temperature dropped, the air conditioners in the RV automatically turned off and switched to ventilation mode.
Something's not right. Ji Xinghan frowned. It was so hot just now, how come it's suddenly so cold?
I should say, this has never been this cold since I started playing this game.
Ji Xinghan looked out of the car and saw that the dense weeds rose and fell like waves of wheat, and the sparse trees leaned to one side.
Is the wind picking up?
She opened the car window, and immediately a gust of wind rushed in, bringing a slight chill.
She decisively closed the car window, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Sure enough, the wind was strong.
Moreover, it's very cold.
Because of the hot weather, she wore short sleeves and shorts after washing up, and when the wind blew, she immediately got goosebumps all over her body.
She sneezed, quickly returned to her car, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.
The temperature dropped way too fast!
In the chat channel, players were grumbling and cursing; everyone was a bit annoyed.
Ji Xinghan's heart sank. Oh no, if the temperature keeps dropping like this, she won't be able to get out of the car, and how will she go on an adventure?
No, I need to go for a walk first!
She immediately started the car and sped for 100 kilometers before stopping.
The scenery outside the car hadn't changed much. She put on two sets of long-sleeved shirts and trousers, quickly got out of the car, locked it, and rushed towards the grass.
Let's find some boxes first!
Ji Xinghan didn't dare go too far. He circled the grass twice, found two boxes, and brought them back.
She had only been outside for a little over half an hour when the temperature dropped rapidly, and the clothes she was wearing were no longer enough to keep her warm.
Fearing she would catch a cold, she had no choice but to carry her suitcase and run back.
After getting on the bus, she quickly drank two cups of hot water and ate some food. Half an hour later, her body warmed up considerably.
It was cold outside, and the temperature inside the car wasn't high either. She then realized that the poor air conditioner was good at cooling, but its heating effect was barely noticeable.
There's no difference between turning it on and not turning it off, and it consumes a lot of power.
Many players couldn't stand the chat channel anymore:
"It's cold! Achoo! I'm only wearing shorts, damn it, I'm freezing!"
"I have a bad feeling. Could it be... we're about to face extreme cold?"
"No way? Don't scare me! I can't stand the cold!"
"Achoo! Luckily I have a thick down jacket, hahaha, it's so warm!"
Unfortunately, most players are cold; their RVs are worse than Ji Xinghan's, with poor cold-weather protection. Many don't even have RVs, still living in small vans, and they've long since given up.
It was so hot before, but suddenly the temperature dropped, and many people are showing signs of catching a cold.
The wind howled, and the chill deepened.
Everyone was astonished.
What kind of weather is this?
Game announcement at 2 PM:
[Congratulations on successfully passing the first test! From today onwards, we enter the next stage—extreme cold!]
Temperatures will gradually decrease over the next few days, so please prepare accordingly.
To combat the severe cold, everyone should: 1. Prepare warm clothing; 2. Upgrade their RV.
Starting today, everyone must cover at least 200km daily. Failure to do so will increase the risks of treasure hunting and exploration. Please abide by the rules!
Have fun playing the game!
The announcement caused widespread anxiety and unease.
"Where did my jinx go? Alright, the extreme cold is coming, we're doomed!"
"Is this considered a gradual temperature drop? How low is it now? Even a refrigerator doesn't cool down this quickly!"
"My God, I have to drive 200km every day, and I can't even move at night? My little van is so bad, I need to drive for 4 or 5 hours every day, how can I possibly go on an adventure?"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and find some clothes, I'm freezing."
"Hey hey, doesn't anyone have any animal hides? Let's get some together!"
This reminded all the players that they had obtained a lot of animal hides from killing monsters, which could be used to make clothes, right?
Although it looks ugly, it should be fine for keeping warm.
Ji Xinghan also took out an animal hide.
She took out the rabbit skin; she had killed quite a few rabbits before, and now it was finally going to come in handy.
Unfortunately, the untreated animal hides had a very strong, pungent odor.
As soon as he wrapped it around himself, Ji Xinghan almost vomited.
She deftly put the animal hide away, glanced at the biting cold wind outside, drove another 100km quickly, then opened the car door and got out.
She decided to go out one more time.
Although it's cold now, the temperature keeps dropping. If you want to go on an adventure, you have to hurry, or it will get even colder soon.
Since the game reminded them to prepare warm clothing and upgrade their RV, there must be some arrangements. Going out now might allow them to find something.
Ji Xinghan put on another set of clothes and put two pieces of cloth in her storage backpack, in case she had to come back wrapped in the cloth.
Ji Xinghan jumped out of the RV and started running.
Running warmed me up considerably.
After walking for more than half an hour, she saw a grove of trees. The trees in the grove were not tall, and she could hear the chirping of birds.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it suddenly became dark.
Ji Xinghan's heart pounded. Was it going to rain again?
With such low temperatures, if a heavy rain comes, people will definitely get sick.
Even with a raincoat, it was useless.
Besides, who knows what will happen next? This game is really weird.
For your safety, it's best to go back as soon as possible.
Just as Ji Xinghan was beginning to consider retreating, a trembling voice suddenly came from the woods: "Chirp chirp... Help..."
Huh?
