Kingdom of Corrosion

At five o’clock in the afternoon, the system broadcasted, "The first cold wave will hit tonight, lasting for an estimated 7 days, with the highest temperature at negative thirty degrees Celsius and the lowest at negative fifty degrees Celsius."

For Lin Wu and Maya, with their Cold Resistance Value at 90 points, this temperature was not much of a problem; the lowest temperature was slightly beyond their limit, but as long as they didn’t go out at night, it would be fine. However, for the rest of the players, who only had an average warmth value of 50, warmth could only be felt in the bonfire room.

The broadcast continued, "To assist players in resisting the severe cold, an active auction will kick off tomorrow. The system will increase the supply of ’summer cooling artifacts,’ including items such as electric fans, ice machines, and air conditioners. All players are welcome to participate in the auction."

Lin Meng speculated, "Could there be a ’Hot River era’ in summer?"

To which Lin Wu looked at her and Lin Meng explained, "If there’s an ’Ice River era’ in winter, then it must be a ’Hot River era’ in summer."

Lin Wu wasn’t one to dwell on trivial matters. If it were someone else, they would have laughed it off, but Lin Wu would ponder over such issues, especially ones related to the ominous intentions of Dawn. After some time, Lin Wu said, "I have a feeling that Dawn’s clearance sale is because there is no summer? But the game timeline spans two years without issues, starting in autumn should be fine. The absence of summer doesn’t seem logical."

It was dinnertime, complete with a lively hotpot. A casual chat between the Double Forest could only be considered a private conversation.

After dinner, it was already eight at night and, with too much time on their hands, they could only waste it on eating and drinking more. The two chefs took the dishes to be cleaned to the kitchen. As soon as Stone stepped out, he cursed at the cold wind that hit him. Maya glanced at the temperature displayed at the headquarters, which had already dropped to negative 45 degrees Celsius.

Everyone went outside to experience the cold. Little Knife looked up at the sky in the small square and wondered, "Why doesn’t it snow at negative 45 degrees?"

Shana replied from the side, "When the temperature falls below negative 40 degrees Celsius, it almost never snows. The lower the temperature, the smaller the chance." It wasn’t that snow was more likely at lower temperatures.
