other people:"… …"
—A certain loli suddenly wants to bite someone.
… … … … … … … …
Under the premise that the environment outside the wooden house remains unchanged, even time seems to have lost its meaning here. The only thing that can be used as a reference is the burning fire in the fireplace of the wooden house.
However, although there is a reserve of firewood, it will eventually be burned out as time goes by.
Originally, when the firewood reserves were in short supply, Bai Zhi and the others didn't care much. After all, regardless of whether they, the players, needed bright lighting, they had plenty of props that could be used for lighting.
But soon, the consequences of the lack of firewood were reflected on each of them.
An imperceptible cold began to fall on them.
When someone among them finally noticed something was wrong, the floor of the wooden house was already covered with a thick layer of vertical ice, which vaguely reflected a blue luster under the light of the torch.
The ice is biting, it is a kind of cold air that seems to freeze the soul. It cannot be dispelled at all, but it becomes colder and colder.
"Why are you looking at me? Anyway, I'm not the one who's freezing."
At some point, a thick quilt appeared on his body to wrap himself up. Facing Bai Zhi's focused gaze, PI looked confident.
The entire wooden house, together with all the furniture in the wooden house, was created by her. Under her limited authority, it was quite good to be able to realize such a small wooden house. .
Naturally, the function of the cabin that she spent so much effort to create cannot be that simple.
"…three lollipops."
After staring speechlessly at Loli who was wrapped in a rice dumpling on the sofa with a rather innocent expression for a while, Bai Zhi reluctantly stretched out three fingers in front of him.
The lollipops he got here are not the wholesale goods in the boxes and boxes in his backpack, but the [Special Lollipops] he got in the [Tomb of the World] that increase the special attack of Lolita by one. It has no effect. Gotta say.
[Item name: Special lollipop]
[Type: props]
[Quality: Rare]
[Special Effect ①: Sharing. The lollipop can be divided into multiple lollipops at one time, and they can continue to divide as long as they are not eaten all at once. Lollipops last forever, and one stick is passed down from generation to generation.]
[Special Effect ②: Baiwei. The lollipop has a total of one hundred flavors, which can meet the requirements of most lolita.]
[Special Effect ③: Delicious. Add one to Lolita's special attack.]
[Conditions of use: None.]
[Note: How can we expect someone who doesn’t even love Lolita to love the world?]
In the past, the lollipop he gave to the other party was a derivative of this lollipop. It can be said that he spent a lot of money on it.
Although this prop has the related characteristics that it can never be eaten, there is a certain limit on the number of lollipops that can be divided. The maximum number of lollipops that can be divided is ten per day.
He doesn't have much stock in hand now, just seven sticks. Now after getting rid of the three sticks, he only has three sticks left in his hand. It's not even enough for the lolita at home to even share. This is all What he prepared for Qingyi and them.
"Um... five."
His eyes rolled slightly, and after some consideration, π seriously stretched out five fingers in front of him.
In fact, it's not that she likes eating lollipops, it's mainly because the lollipops the other party brought out were quite delicious, but it's really not that she likes eating them...probably.
"Four, if it doesn't work, forget it."
Feeling the ice that had begun to climb up his body, Bai Zhi waved his hand decisively.
"I don't have many lollipops left, so I can't give them all to you."
"Okay, deal."
Pi nodded without hesitation.
The spectators on the side said: "..."
… not much? When I was there, I clearly saw you taking out several large boxes without blinking an eye...
After secretly glancing at Bai Zhi, Su Hui Zhimian was speechless and complained in her heart.
… Really? Should I be said to be a lolicon recognized by the [Machine World]? Seriously, who would carry so many lollipops in their backpack...
However, complaints are complaints. Now that the lollipops are so useful, she now feels sincere regret for not hiding a few more lollipops in the safe area of the Monopoly game area. …
… … … … … … … …
Under the gaze of everyone on the side with complicated expressions with various meanings, Bai Zhi and π completed the transaction.
"It's very simple. This is the special defense mechanism of the isolation zone. Otherwise, why do you think I spent so much effort building such a cabin in the first place?"
He retracted back into the quilt with only a small face exposed, and π spoke in a brisk tone.
"Because some of the proper nouns are too complicated and you can't understand them, so I'll simply explain the solution. As long as you light up the fire in the fireplace again, there will be no problem."
"… return the goods."
After staring at the other party's innocent expression for a while, Bai Zhi stretched out his hand towards the other party expressionlessly.
… Is that what he wants to ask
There were two wise men in the team. They had already deduced the reason for this strange change in the wooden house. Naturally, they also tried to relight the fire in the fireplace.
Although other people did not carry firewood in their backpacks, his Na Ring had everything in it, so there was no shortage of wood.
But the problem is, even if new wood is added to the fireplace and the fire is lit again, the situation in the wooden house still does not improve. After a while, the ice cubes on the shoes have begun to crawl. On the trouser legs.
Even though their players generally have strong physiques, they are still freezing in the face of this kind of cold that can cause serious injuries.
"Uh... the fireplace must be made to burn something special. Ordinary wood won't work."
Grasping the lollipop in his hand, π shrank into the quilt very vigilantly, and then he spoke.
"Ordinary wood won't work. You can try throwing other things in it...such as equipment and props. These can be used as fuel."
"Equipment props..."
After thinking for a moment, everyone's eyes turned to August Huang with a tacit understanding.
August Desolation: "..."
"I remember you can summon props, right?"
First, the cat in the book raised his own question.
"It's definitely possible. It's not like you didn't see the previous battle. How many props did he take out before and after?"
He crossed his chest with his hands and rubbed his shoulders fiercely. Xiao Shanji, who was freezing enough, answered for August Huang.
"Anyway, his props are non-consumable. You can just summon them one by one and throw them into the fireplace... I almost froze to death!!"
Under this biting cold, even her pet Tang Yuan hid in the pet space for the first time.
You know, in the past, even if she bribed the other party with baskets of pine cones, the other party would not go in even to death... She seriously suspected that Tang Yuan was imitating the Pi God.
"What you are talking about is very light. Do you really think that props can be used casually to destroy them?"
Facing everyone's expectant or encouraging gazes, the corners of August Huang's mouth twitched.
"If the props I manifest in a short period of time are damaged, it will cause great harm to me. What's more, as a magical prop master, I will not allow this to happen."
"Um... um, do you still have the quilt?"
After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at π. Su Huizhimian pointed at the quilt covering the other party.
"I also have a strawberry-flavored lollipop here. Can I exchange it with you?"
"… there is none left."
There was obviously a hint of emotion on his face, but π still shook his head.
"Woo..."
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
Seeing the disappointed expression on the other party's face, π followed up and explained confidently.
"It's already very labor-intensive to build such a wooden house and the furniture inside. There really is no extra quilt supply, otherwise I wouldn't be able to cover it by myself. Please be patient a little longer. According to my estimation, It should be there soon, it’s just a little colder, that’s okay.”
"...Take the quilt off your body before we talk."
Bai Zhi looked at Loli, who was wrapping herself more tightly on the sofa, slightly speechless, and then asked.
"When you said it's coming soon, how long does it take?"
"Hmm...about three or four hours? Very quickly."
After thinking for a while, π carefully gave an answer.
"Don't worry, you are all very strong. This bit of cold air will not have any impact on you. If there is ice on your body, just break it in time. Just treat it as a mental training..."
"Lift her up and we'll heat the sofa."
Before the loli could finish speaking, Bai Zhi decisively turned his head and looked at Phalaenopsis and Xiao Shanji.
"Since the wood prepared in advance is useful, the sofa should also be useful."
"wait wait wait!!"
He didn't expect that someone would come up with such a damaging move. Looking at the two people walking silently towards him, π hurriedly called to stop.
"If it weren't for special firewood, the sofa would be of limited use. It could only hold up for half an hour at most, and maybe it wouldn't be able to hold it up. You still have a few more hours to spend!!"
"… so?"
"If there is no sofa, wouldn't I have to sit on the floor? The quilt on my body will also be of little use. I am such a lovely girl, can you bear to let me freeze?"
In order to defend his own rights and interests, π spoke loudly.
others:"… …"
Bai Zhi: "..."
He suddenly realized that the loli in front of him was... quite disdainful.
A few minutes later, looking at the sofa that had been torn into pieces and thrown into the fireplace to glow and heat, π sat shivering on the floor wrapped in a quilt with tears in his face.
At first glance, this loli sitting on the floor looks like a kitten that has been heartlessly abandoned...
Just as this loli said, the effect of being ruthlessly dismembered and stuffed into the fireplace only lasted for more than an hour.
About an hour and a half later, the familiar extreme cold came again, but this time, there was no sofa.
So, after some pondering, Bai Zhi turned his head with a strange look on his face and looked at π shivering in the corner wrapped in a quilt...
"Wait, wait, what are you doing!?"
Being looked at by someone made her feel inexplicably flustered. Pi hurriedly reached out and grabbed the quilt wrapped around him.
"You are such an old man, you shouldn't compete for a quilt with a cute little girl like me, right? In that case, I will definitely despise you!!"
"No, you are thinking too much. I am just thinking about other problems."
Still not looking away from the quilt wrapped around Pi, he reached out and touched his chin. Bai Zhi's expression looked strange.
"Let me ask you a question, if someone else squeezes in the quilt you are wearing, will the quilt's cold-proofing effect be weakened?"
π: "..."
"...Are you a pervert?"
Looking at the other person as if looking at a pervert, π subconsciously wrapped the quilt around him a little tighter.
"Tch, it's really hard to talk to you... You just need to answer yes or no."
Bai Zhi curled his lips and looked magnanimous.
"Hurry, or it will get cold again soon."
"It won't weaken. After all, this is me... So what do you want to do?"
Wrapped in a quilt, a certain loli looked wary.
"Let me tell you, this quilt was specially prepared by me for myself. It's not your share. It's enough for the hamster to squeeze in. The rest of you can't even think about it."
"So, it's hard to talk to you people."
Not only the gaze of the loli in front of him, but also Bai Zhi, who obviously noticed the strange gazes complained by others, rolled his eyes speechlessly.
