Chapter 86: Chapter 2 Pre-Departure Arrangements (Please subscribe for the first time!)

With Ju around, the journey didn’t take much time.

900 Resource Self-selections were spent, and a total of 3 Iron Ore Altars, including 4 other altars, were constructed.

The atmosphere turned akin to a graveyard with these altars, coupled with the skeleton workers and the sinister ambiance emanating from the caves.

"If we bring in more Fungus Umbrellas to add some more mist here, it would look even more like one. Plus, it would serve as good protection.

Hm? What’s this?"

A chill swept over them, and tiny snowflakes began descending from the sky, landing on their bodies.

Both humans and the cat instinctively looked up.

But Bai Yi had forgotten that there was a cat on top of her head.

The orange cat’s reflexes were much quicker than Bai Yi’s, though. Bai Yi only felt her right shoulder getting heavier as the orange cat had already switched positions with her using Flash.

Bai Yi turned around, somewhat embarrassed trying to apologize, but the orange cat, quick on the paws and eyes, shoved her face away with a Cat Fist.

Bai Yi, belatedly realizing, apologized in a low voice.

If she had managed to turn her face successfully, the accident of pushing Ju down might’ve repeated before she even had the chance to apologize.

The orange cat wasn’t angry; its attention was captivated by the little white specks falling from the sky.

Is this...

The legendary snowflake?

Though endowed with Space superpower, it had never left this city before.

As a cat from the south, this was its first encounter with the legendary snow...

Not just the orange cat, even Bai Yi had only seen snow on the internet, so this was also her first real touch of snowflakes.

After a moment of surprise, Bai Yi realized that this was probably the onset of the cold disaster.

"Has it been less than two hours, and it’s already started snowing?"

She pulled up her panel, and there was a new line added because of the Cycle Challenge, already showing changes.

[Current Temperature: -1 degree, Current Number of Units in Territory: 451, Current Survival Points: 130]

The points listed above were the feedback from constructing buildings, which were pointless against the cold disaster, with each building contributing only 10 points.

"The temperature has dropped below freezing so quickly, yet I feel nothing?

Could it be because of my Constitution attribute?

But if the temperature is dropping this quickly, what about the other people..."

Bai Yi hastily opened the channel, which was in stark contrast to the cold weather, bustling with activity.

Lingxing: "Is it just me, or did it suddenly get a lot colder?"

Mr. LPS: "It’s not your imagination. Look at the panel, it’s already below zero."

Rat:"That’s right, coordinates at the city’s ruins, it’s snowing here already."

Herring Burn: "For real? Is it snowing? This quickly?"

Cat Jerry: "Damn, I wanted to strengthen my territory before it got too cold— is the cold disaster starting already?"

Youming: "The temperature’s dropped more than ten degrees in less than an hour; with a week to go, how cold will it get?"

Rat: "Here’s a friendly tip, rather than lament here, better rush to gather more fuel and secure your territory; time waits for no one."

Mr. LPS: "Thanks for the reminder"

Cat Jerry: "Thanks for the reminder"

Herring Burn: "Thanks for the reminder"

"..."

"This Rat guy seems pretty decent...

He sounds like he’s been prepared for this for some time."

She clicked on the survival points ranking, and sure enough, his name was already among the top ten, with 320 points.

Tsk, I need to prepare quickly too.

Thinking this, Bai Yi was about to turn around but remembered the recent awkwardness and reluctantly turned her head back.

"Ju, take us back, please. We have something to discuss with you once we’re home."

"Meow?"

The orange cat looked puzzled but didn’t dwell on it and teleported the two back to their territory.

Back in the tree cave, Bai Yi took Ju off her head and placed it in front of her, then said to the orange cat:

"Ju, I believe you’re already aware of the existence of the Cycle Challenge. Us Lords improve ourselves rapidly just through the rewards gained from these challenges."

But this Cold Disaster event is not friendly to me, and I believe Ju understands this as well.

Without maintaining my advantage in the challenge, the rewards I could get will definitely be much less than others. To keep up with my current pace of advancement, I must look for other methods."

"Do you need the cat’s help?"

The orange cat immediately understood the reason why Bai Yi was approaching it for a discussion and waited for what Bai Yi would say next.

"Yes, I have something called a dungeon ticket..."

After Bai Yi detailed to the orange cat what an instance was, the orange cat pondered and said:

"So, you’re planning to use your dungeon ticket to get through this challenge, relying on the rewards from the instance to maintain the pace of your advancement.

But because you’re uncertain about the dangers inside the instance, you’re thinking of taking the cat with you?"

Bai Yi quickly nodded and said obediently:

"How about it? Ju, are you interested?"

It’s definitely a lie to say I’m not interested; as a cat filled with curiosity, how could I be uninterested.

Moreover, the dungeon ticket sounds like a task that teleports you to a certain place, and with anything related to Space Transmission involved, its interest grows even stronger.

And it certainly wouldn’t be reassured allowing Bai Yi to wander off alone—wherever Bai Yi goes, it must go too!

Feeling inclined, yet the orange cat tilted its head:

"Bringing the cat along wouldn’t be impossible, after all, you’re doing this to advance quickly, and since the cat has promised to protect you, it definitely won’t neglect you.

However, we still aren’t sure if it’s possible to bring the cat in, right?

And, I want the soup you make!"

The orange cat agreeing to come along was within Bai Yi’s expectations, after all, a 92% favorability wasn’t for nothing.

And how could the orange cat know about her soup?

Since someone likes her soup, Bai Yi certainly wouldn’t refuse and quickly said:

"Deal!

Then I’ll prepare first, to avoid having to enter the instance immediately after using it.

By the way, Ju, how much can your space superpower store?"

"Let me... let me confirm it once more!

Four types of seeds, large and small tree fruits, a thousand units of rice..."

Looking at the pile of things filling up the tree hollow, the orange cat asked Nong Si, standing next to him in a low voice:

"Has your master always been like this? Preparing so much for going out?"

After telling Bai Yi that the space created by its superpower was large enough to fit half of a territory, Bai Yi fell into some kind of unexplainable excitement.

Then, under its gaze, more and more "luggage" was accumulated here.

From various kinds of food to construction materials like stones and wood, these resources were enough to build a small territory immediately!

"Our master has never traveled far before, maybe... maybe the master is too excited..."

"Hey, hey! What are you murmuring about?

I’ve finished checking here; Ju, you can stow it away now!"

The orange cat’s gaze shifted, and the pile of luggage higher than Bai Yi herself disappeared.

Looking towards the ready Ju and Zhan Er Nong Si, Bai Yi nodded her head and took out an instance ticket.

It wasn’t one of the two she exchanged at the Points Mall, but an earlier acquired Advanced Random Dungeon Voucher.

This was the result of her careful deliberation; since it was her first time entering an instance, it would be better to practice first and get familiar with the procedures.

Then, those better instance tickets could be used later on to extract even more benefits.

The other affairs within the territory had been arranged, and to ensure the operation of the territory, she had given more permissions to the remaining Zhan Yi quartet.

Originally, Bai Yi was planning to infuse all the plants at home with Adaptability, especially the potatoes.

But when planting them in the snow-covered ground outside, she discovered that while the potatoes indeed gained some cold resistance, they could only survive at subzero temperatures. Growth was out of the question.

It could only be said that they were indeed stronger than ordinary plants.

Lastly, she reflected once more, making sure there were no oversights.

Bai Yi walked over to the two, placing Ju on her head to become complete, and the instance ticket in her hand turned into points of light under Bai Yi’s will.

A panel notification appeared in front of Bai Yi’s eyes.
