Chapter 85: A Heavy Snow
“Hello, I’m here to check the water meter.”
Zhen Weida, who was preparing to cook instant noodles at home: “……”
He went to the door to peek.
Good, it was an acquaintance from last time.
He opened the door, and Liu Wenyu stood there with a smile: “Sorry, Mr. Zhen, to disturb you so late.”
“No disturbance, I’m not working anyway.” Zhen Weida glanced at the time and sighed faintly: “Are you still working overtime this late in the system?”
Liu Wenyu: “……”
His usually calm face seemed to have a slight crack.
Liu Wenyu smiled as if nothing had happened: “I’m sorry, Mr. Zhen, we broke our promise from last time, and we’ve come to find you again.”
“It’s fine, come in and chat.”
Behind Liu Wenyu, three silent military men were still following.
Zhen Weida didn’t dare to have any thoughts; it wasn’t about being afraid, but facing upright people always made him feel inferior.
“You don’t need to be nervous. This visit is actually good news for you.” Liu Wenyu got straight to the point: “As far as I know, Mr. Zhen, you are currently unemployed, right?”
Zhen Weida said proudly: “I occasionally do some part-time work online, have some assets, and haven’t planned to look for a job yet.”
After this game came out, he wanted it even less.
He was still working hard now; as long as he earned points, he could sell them later. With enough effort, income shouldn’t be a problem.
“It’s like this, if we want to seek cooperation with you, Mr. Zhen, would you be willing? Of course, we will offer very generous returns.”
Zhen Weida was stunned for a moment: “What do you want to cooperate with me on? About this game?”
Liu Wenyu nodded: “The information provided by the player named Han Tian is still not enough. We hope to establish cooperation with you. We can provide you with help. For example, we found that you once investigated how to industrialize in ancient times. Do you want the Longevity Sect to take an industrialization route?”
Zhen Weida still thought so, but he said: “Last time, something almost happened. I plan to wait until the Qi Condensation late stage before continuing, to be on the safe side.”
“We only need you to provide your information within the game. You can play your game according to the normal process. If you need any help, we will do our best to assist you. We can sign an external contract and give you a fixed monthly remuneration. What do you think?”
Zhen Weida was genuinely tempted.
Play the game normally, provide a little information, and get a stable salary.
Where could he find such a good deal?
Zhen Weida agreed without hesitation!

Inside the game, Wang’an County suddenly started snowing.
It was a blizzard.
The weather on the Yunzhou Continent was quite different from Blue Star.
There were no distinct seasons.
Because of the abundant Spiritual Energy, it was warm like spring all year round.
But this was under normal circumstances.
Extreme weather could still occur.
And when it did, it was often because a Great Expert somewhere had an issue, either due to fighting or a Magic Treasure malfunctioning and altering the ecological environment.
After all, Cultivation was that unreasonable.
This snow brought extremely cold weather.
In the game, a large-scale temperature drop occurred from dawn, and this temperature carried a certain degree of magical attack.
It froze players who were not yet powerful into grandsons.
One could imagine the plight of Mortals.
“The county town is closed today; it’s abnormally cold.”
A Wu bought some things and returned, rubbing his frozen red cheeks.
He worriedly went to find Fan Guozhou, who was still watching the land in the Sect: “In such cold weather, if it lasts for a few days, our Spirit Herbs will be affected.”
Fan Guozhou’s internal alarm bells rang: “Will it affect the Spirit Herb yield?”
A Wu nodded: “If it’s severe, they might even freeze to death.”
This kind of weather already carried energy attacks; even Spirit Herbs would be affected.
Ordinary crops among Mortals would die in droves.
Fan Guozhou also panicked a little. He had just leased ten acres of land, and now this weather appeared. Could something go wrong?
Seeing Fan Guozhou’s flustered expression, A Wu comforted him: “It’s okay, Junior Brother. Maybe it will end soon.”
A Wu also said: “By the way, Little Flower Beasts are also very afraid of the cold. Don’t let them out, okay?”
Fan Guozhou was raising all the dozen or so Little Flower Beasts he had bought.
Mainly because other Players were too poor to afford them.
Chen Miaomiao, however, had bought one.
Little Flower Beasts could eat any food that grew from the soil, so they were quite easy to keep.
Of course, feeding them Spirit Herbs was even better.
But at this stage, Fan Guozhou wasn’t that extravagant yet.
Fan Guozhou nodded, “I gave them bedding this morning, and they’re all huddled under their nests.”
There were many places selling blankets in Wang’an County.
Fan Guozhou asked: “How many times a year does this kind of situation occur?”
A Wu said: “Not many times. Maybe once every two or three years, or sometimes a few times a year. It’s not just snow; strong winds or extremely hot abnormal conditions also happen.”
Fan Guozhou was a bit confused: “Why does this happen?”
Weather changes were usually related to certain factors, but on the Yunzhou Continent, they couldn’t go out and apply modern knowledge to explain it.
“Who knows?” A Wu also didn’t know: “The Old Sect Master used to say that it might be related to changes in certain Secret Realms.”
“Secret Realms?”
Fan Guozhou thought he had heard important information, but A Wu said: “Yes, but I don’t know if it’s true. I haven’t been out either.”
Fan Guozhou didn’t ask further and changed the topic to something he was interested in: “Old Sect Master? Senior Disciple Brother, do you know when our Sect Master arrived? How did she become the Sect Master of the Longevity Sect instead of joining the Flying Sparrow Sect?”
The game needed a main quest, and their main quest was to strengthen the Longevity Sect.
But why?
Faced with a better environment, shouldn’t Song Jiulai have gone to the Flying Sparrow Sect?
She could have also chosen to strengthen the Flying Sparrow Sect.
Many thoughts flashed through A Wu’s mind, and then he said: “I don’t know. The Old Sect Master just passed the position to her.”
Regarding Song Jiulai being the Daughter of Destiny, A Wu knew he couldn’t say it.
He was smart!
“Oh…”
Seeing that he couldn’t get any more information, Fan Guozhou didn’t press further.
Just then, Su Daqiang logged in.
As a Cultivator, he was wrapped up like a ball and shivered: “Damn it, this cursed weather.”
In reality, the sun was shining brightly, but as soon as he entered the game, it felt like being in the Arctic.
Fortunately, everyone’s bodies were different; otherwise, such drastic temperature changes would definitely cause a cold.
Su Daqiang said to Fan Guozhou: “Wu Dahu and the others are planning to return. This heavy snow is too strange; I’m afraid something might happen.”
Fan Guozhou: “What about Mu Qiu? She’s alone outside. I don’t know how she’ll avoid Demonic Beasts after logging off below the First Mountain.”
Su Daqiang: “I don’t know about that. She might be returning.”
Fan Guozhou’s tone held a hint of envy: “I also want to see what her Magic Treasure looks like. She’s so lucky.”
“Yes, she’s really lucky.”
Speaking of Mu Qiu, everyone was grinding their teeth in anger now.
