Chapter 37 Everyone's so sour
After finishing her iced drink, Yu Yanyan, who was the subject of discussion in various districts, picked up her Ice Soul Sword and headed to the front line to fight alongside Shen Xingzhi and others.
As the Ice Soul Sword was swung out, it brought with it gusts of cold wind, making the players around Yu Yanyan feel very comfortable.
"This sword is great, it has a built-in cooling effect, the breeze is like an air conditioner."
"Yes, I love it."
"It's hot today, which is already annoying enough, and most of you swordsmen use flaming swords, which is just ridiculous!"
The man slashed the charging monster to death with one blow, then turned and complained, "If I hadn't drunk a cooling drink beforehand, I would have really cursed him out."
The others fought intently, remaining silent, but their expressions spoke volumes.
Who can argue with that!
Yu Yanyan felt ashamed; when she was wholesaling the Flaming Swords, she had completely forgotten about summer.
Most of the swordsmen in the guild use this sword, indeed...
Yu Yanyan looked at the scene in front of her, where even the air seemed to be distorted, and felt fortunate that she had prepared so many cooling desserts and drinks beforehand.
Otherwise, exploring this secret realm would be too time-consuming.
It was still morning, and the sun had only been up for a short time, but the temperature had already soared.
By noon, with the added bonus from the Flaming Sword's special effects, without drinks, one would easily suffer from heatstroke.
Yu Yanyan looked up at the distant grassland, scanned the area, and then spoke into the team channel.
"There are quite a few monsters on the grassland, so let's try to kill them as quickly as possible. The midday sun is scorching, so we need to get into the mountains as soon as possible."
Everyone understood, and their actions became more ruthless. They stopped talking and focused on fighting.
There were still some players near the grassland, but they didn't dare to come over, fearing that Yu Yanyan and her group might kill them if they were dissatisfied.
The players in Zone 6 weren't afraid, but they didn't try to get close to them either. Instead, they followed the surrounding area, forming teams to pick off some scattered wild monsters.
Players in Zone 6 frequently encounter Chaoyang in the Floor World and have long since figured out their temperament.
Chaoyang is not a bandit group and will not occupy any monster spawn points. You can spawn nearby without any problem; they will never kick you out.
Even when they encounter danger or meet casual players, they will lend a hand and let a few easy monsters escape.
Chaoyang is nice to everyone, and you are not completely ungrateful; you won't take advantage of me.
Players in Zone 6 who encounter people from Chaoyang will only farm monsters near them, seeking a sense of security.
Of course, when encountering robbers or notorious villains, Chaoyang will ignore, drive them away, or even act on behalf of Heaven.
If you don't cause trouble, the people in Chaoyang are easy to talk to, but if you do, you'll be in big trouble.
This is something that every player in Zone 6 knows perfectly well.
Players from other areas watched as Chaoyang ignored the surrounding teams and kept pushing forward, frantically killing large groups of monsters. After observing for a while, they couldn't help but come over.
The players in Zone 6 didn't bother with them, focusing instead on fighting monsters and keeping up with the Chaoyang main force.
As they fell further away, they even abandoned the scattered groups of wild monsters and continued to chase after them.
Players in other areas are farming the small groups of monsters they've left behind.
The three parties then proceed by taking turns, one after the other, to advance.
As time went by, the sunlight became increasingly dazzling and intense, and players from other areas were unable to catch up with the main group ahead.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Huff... Don't those people need to rest?" Someone, their face flushed from the sun, stopped to rest, panting heavily.
"Yes, it's been several hours, without a single rest, and it seems like they don't feel the heat at all."
"Who knows?" The others were also unbearably hot and were frantically drinking water.
Some people were confused and didn't know why, but others were observant and clever.
"I observed that they almost all eat cookies, desserts, candy, and other similar foods. They instantly feel energetic after eating them, so they must be energy-restoring foods," the bald, burly man said to his brothers, wiping the sweat from his face.
“We have some too, but it seems like everyone else has some, like they can’t finish it all.” The others looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Aren't these things usually very expensive? Why are they so rich?"
"I don't know, and I saw them all drinking beverages, and they were even emitting cold air."
As he spoke, the man swallowed hard. "Wouldn't it be incredibly refreshing to drink an iced beverage in this weather?"
"Glug—" The team members all turned their attention to the main group, just as a team at the back of the line took out a glass of iced cola.
The iced cola contained ice cubes and lemon slices. After taking a big gulp, the person let out a long sigh, looking extremely refreshed.
The group of people who had been secretly observing swallowed hard, exchanged glances, and then simultaneously took out the ice water they had prepared.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of ice water, the heat subsided somewhat, but they were still scorched by the sun and were covered in sweat.
On the other hand, the people in front of me were completely dry, without a drop of sweat.
If it's just one or two people like that, that's fine; it's normal to have money to buy nice things.
But if everyone is like this, then that's not normal.
This is outrageous! What's wrong with the people in District 6? Are they all rich? They can afford all sorts of cool and refreshing stuff!
People from other districts were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, completely baffled.
Lost in thought, Baldy saw the main group ahead about to enter the mountains and quickly called his brothers to follow.
"Hurry, hurry, let's run! Let's go into the mountains too. There are lots of trees in the mountains and it won't be so sunny. Even if we don't go in the same direction as them, we have to get in."
"Yes, brother!"
The others quickly followed.
The people following behind basically all went into the mountains. With the sun shining brightly, they were really going to get heatstroke if they didn't find a shady spot soon.
Yu Yanyan didn't care about the people following her. There were people watching her, and they would deal with anyone who wanted to cause trouble immediately. There wouldn't be any problems.
It's lunchtime now. Everyone has been working non-stop all morning, so it's time for a short break.
Yu Yanyan checked the time and said in the team channel: "It's 12:03 now. Everyone, rest where you are and have lunch. We'll continue our journey at 30:30."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began preparing lunch.
The nearby players saw some of them take out large dining tables, some take out chairs, and some sit directly on the ground, and then they all took out various kinds of food.
Rice bowls are the most common type of dish, but the abundance of vegetables and meats piled on top indicates that the meal is quite substantial.
Others were eating noodles, all mixed noodles, and the way they slurped them up was so tempting it almost made your mouth water.
Of course, their mixed noodles also come with a wide variety of ingredients, including all kinds of meat and vegetables.
They eat a balanced diet; it's not just pure meat.
You should know that there's plenty of meat in the game, but fresh vegetables are the real treasure.
Vegetables are not very common on the floors; sometimes when you come across a field, the vegetables are not yet ripe.
Digging for wild vegetables is something most people don't want to waste time on, unless they're casual players.
After all, most people don't own much land and can only grow things in flowerpots. Fresh vegetables have always been expensive items, and no district is an exception.
The same applies to District 6.
However, Yu Yanyan has magical fields and an acre of land at her residence, so Chaoyang can eat vegetables from time to time, which is better than others.
It's not unreasonable that other players would look at Chaoyang with envy and jealousy.
I thought they were already extravagant enough, but Yu Yanyan's side was even more outrageous. She and Shen Xingzhi were sitting at a small table, eating a large seafood sushi platter.
A large platter, 1.2 meters in diameter, was filled with all sorts of sushi, including eel, octopus, tuna, Arctic surf clam, seaweed, snail meat, and other meats I didn't recognize.
Some sharp-eyed viewers even spotted sushi piled high with caviar, crab roe, and crab fat.
It's not even pure sushi; the side dishes include peeled crab legs, lobster meat, and salmon sashimi.
Just looking at them made people's mouths water uncontrollably, and they couldn't help but swallow.
Seafood is as rare as vegetables on this floor, or even rarer.
Because the sea is more dangerous than the shore, and the mutated monsters in the sea are more ferocious and harder to defend against, players without some skill dare not go down.
Look at what others are eating, and then look at yourself...
What a terrible thing!
What should I do if this roasted meat sandwich doesn't smell good at all?!
But that wasn't all. After quickly finishing their meal, some drank cold drinks, while others ate those very beautiful and exquisite desserts and pastries.
Many people even brought out various kinds of fruit!
Over at Yu Yanyan's place, the man next to her took out a large watermelon with water droplets on its skin, cut it open in a few strokes, and handed her a big slice.
This is clearly chilled!
Everyone's mouths watered instantly, including those from District 6 and Chaoyang Group.
Fruit is also a scarce commodity, something that can only be found by chance, and even people in Chaoyang don't get to eat it often.
Yu Yanyan would occasionally open a bunch of materials from her pack, and sometimes the magic field would also produce a lot.
Yu Yanyan ate the sweetest part in the center and glanced at Shen Xingzhi.
Shen Xingzhi nodded slightly and took out a bunch of watermelons from his bag.
"Each group leader brings their people to collect the melons. This was specially prepared by the team leader to reward everyone."
As soon as Shen Xingzhi said this, the people of Chaoyang cheered.
"Sister Yu is so generous!"
"The commander is amazing! Thank you for the watermelon, commander!"
"Thank you, Sister Yu!"
Each group leader led their team to collect the melons quickly and efficiently. The scene was lively but not crowded. The melons were collected in an exceptionally orderly and fast manner, and then cut open in no time, with each person receiving a slice.
"Cool!"
"Wuhu, refreshingly cool but not icy, absolutely amazing!"
"Sister Yu, you're my god! This time the perk is watermelon, it's so awesome!"
The happier the smiles on the faces of those in the morning, the more ferocious the expressions on the faces of others.
Which direction should one pray from to join this kind of group?
Players in Zone 6 gritted their teeth and skillfully took photos to share in the chat channel.
[New perk from Chaoyang District: Iced watermelon for everyone on this sweltering day! A big slice for everyone! Get ready to be sour!]
Why did I have to open the chat channel at this crucial moment?!
[This is inhuman! Why do they always have to release these videos to make everyone jealous!]
Players in Zone 6 at the scene were thrilled: "On such a hot day, everyone should have some lemon cha-cha to cool down!"
Get out of here!
The player from Zone 6 looked around at the players from other zones, whose faces were even more ferocious, and swallowed hard, finally feeling a little better.
They must have all posted in their own region's chat channel, right?
It would be wonderful if more people could join them in breaking down their defenses.
Sour! Make it extra sour!
Facing the rising sun, facing Yu Yanyan, no one can escape this torment!
Envious, jealous, and resentful, aren't you? That's exactly the effect we wanted; we have to let everyone taste the bitterness of lemons.
The players in Zone 6 smiled peacefully.
As the players in Zone 6 had hoped, the defenses in the other zones were indeed successfully breached.
Tears of envy streamed down their faces, but no matter how much they cried and screamed, they couldn't get into Yu Yanyan's group.
They can't even get into Zone 6, can't latch onto any powerful figures, and can't get any benefit from the big shots.
In the sweltering summer heat, already irritable players became even more irritable.
