Chapter 33: Torrential Rain Like a Waterfall!
“Woah, what’s happening?!”
“Why is the rain so heavy?”
“Is the sky falling?”
“Is this really rain?!”
“Oh my god, this is too terrifying!”
……
It’s no wonder the Blue Star netizens exclaimed in surprise; the scene in the Live Stream Room was too absurd.
The fierce Torrential Rain poured down from the sky, like waterfalls cascading to the ground, creating a booming sound, splashing countless waves, mud, and even sand and stones.
In the misty water vapor, streams flowed along the descending Terrain towards the distance, quickly converging into ponds, then connecting with each other to form lakes, sweeping across all directions, and submerging everything around.
Looking at the apocalyptic scene outside, Qi Xuan stood in the Lean-to, accompanied by the crackling sounds on the Roof, and had to raise his voice to say to the Live Stream Room audience:
“You all have seen the situation. The rain today is particularly heavy, several times stronger than yesterday. In this situation, I estimate that it’s impossible to go out and explore. It looks like I have to stay in the Lean-to today, and I don’t know when the rain will stop.”
The netizens couldn’t hold back when they heard this:
“What time is it? You’re still thinking about your exploration!”
“Hurry up and move to a safe place? When the water comes up, you won’t be able to run away!”
“Exploration can be discussed later, ensure your own safety first! I’ve never seen rain this heavy, even during the 1998 flood, it’s like rivers pouring down from the sky!”
“Streamer, leave quickly! Once the Lean-to is washed away by the rain, it’s really over if you’re trapped underneath!”
“What a bad idea? Can you go out in that rain? If you’re not careful, you’ll be swept into the flood!”
“Please, quickly find a cave!”
“The caves are probably flooded.”
……
As if able to guess the audience’s thoughts, Qi Xuan said with a smile:
“Everyone, don’t worry too much. Although the rain is heavy here, I’m not a pushover. Before the rain, I reinforced the Lean-to multiple times, and I also dug the drainage ditches around it larger and deeper, and added other various protections such as water drainage.
You see, although it’s raining heavily outside, not a drop of water has entered here, which shows that my preparations are very thorough.”
Qi Xuan demonstrated on the spot, and the inside of the Lean-to was very dry, and the ground was not wet, which made the Live Stream Room audience feel a lot more at ease.
“As for the water level below, it’s almost impossible to rise to my current position, unless it floods the entire forest first, and I can still bet on this.”
Speaking of this, Qi Xuan was a little helpless:
“It’s just that being trapped by the Torrential Rain and unable to go out makes people feel very annoying. I was planning to explore the South today.
Three of the four directions are temporarily blocked, and I can’t have the last direction blocked as well.
Unfortunately, the heavens are not beautiful, the rain is so heavy, and the exploration of the South also has to be postponed for now.”
Seeing Qi Xuan’s expression of regret, the Live Stream Room also started discussing:
“Three directions are blocked, what’s the probability of the last direction being blocked?”
“Do I even need to say it? One-fourth! This probability is quite low.”
“Math is the death of me, such a simple conditional probability problem, the answer is undoubtedly one-fifth!”
“Wait, how can it be one-fifth? Shouldn’t it be one-half?”
……
The netizens were arguing and almost started fighting in the Live Stream Room.
But there were also other netizens who were still discussing the situation of the Floating Continent:
“With such a heavy Torrential Rain, even if it stops in an hour, there should be a lot of standing water on the ground, or even rivers, but before Qi God took us to explore everywhere, we didn’t see many water sources. Therefore, after the heavy rain, there must be a great drought!”
“I understand why I haven’t seen small animals like pheasants and rabbits for so long. In this devilish environment, how strong of a life force is needed to survive?”
“Wild animals are still a small matter. Under such extreme weather with Torrential Rain like waterfalls, I doubt if there are any Natives.”
“Damn it, could it be that there’s only Qi God on the entire Floating Continent? That would be so lonely, just thinking about it makes people shudder.”
“Sigh, let’s find a way to get out first. If the South is also blocked, then it’s really over, completely trapped in a desperate situation.”
“Don’t be like this, I will Pray for Blessings for Qi God! I will not use my social media for three days, just to ask for Qi God’s safety!”
“I will not look at the pictures for a week.”
……
Qi Xuan walked into the Lean-to and sat down, casually brushing aside a few leaves, and underneath were countless foods, including Secret Pomegranate, amaranth, fragrant snow mushrooms, and many things he couldn’t name.
“Besides reinforcing the Lean-to yesterday, I also went to pick a lot of food for storage. With the amount accumulated here, even if this rain lasts for ten days or half a month, I will definitely not starve to death.”
What Qi Xuan didn’t say was that if he added his Devour ability, even if all the food here was eaten, just gnawing on the surrounding trees, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to live for two or three more months.
In the following Live Stream, Qi Xuan introduced the various foods at hand while eating on the spot, and an hour quickly passed.
In the afternoon, the content of the Live Stream was also somewhat unremarkable, but Qi Xuan couldn’t do anything about it. The heavens were raining like a waterfall, and it didn’t stop in between. He couldn’t go outside and perform live swimming for the sake of the Live Stream effect, could he?
Don’t get the Live Stream Room shut down on the spot.
Fortunately, perhaps because he had accumulated some audience from the past few days of Live Streams, the Popularity Points he received at the end of the day didn’t drop too much, a full 11B. Qi Xuan didn’t hesitate to do two Lottery.
One Bronze, one Black Iron.
Perhaps because the Fire God Zhurong he Pray for Blessings for today was not very effective and couldn’t resist the Torrential Rain pouring down from the outside, the results of these two Lotteries were not very good.
The Bronze didn’t draw any Spiritual Materials, but instead drew a Belt, which made Qi Xuan feel extremely heartbroken.
This is too much of a loss.
Something that could be drawn for 1B, but cost ten times the price.
But there was no way, if he wanted to increase the probability of drawing various treasures, he had to use a higher grade Lottery.
If it’s a cold draw, then it’s a cold draw, it won’t be a cold draw every time.
On the contrary, the subsequent Black Iron Grade Lottery gave him a little comfort.
Because he drew a basket of buns, a basket of Sichuan-flavored Beef Buns, steaming hot and fresh out of the oven, still emitting hot air.
In this cold and drizzling Torrential Rain day, a basket of hot Sichuan-flavored Beef Buns was enough to eliminate all worries.
And just as Qi Xuan was carefully tasting the delicious buns, a group of uninvited guests suddenly visited his Hometown, the Happiness Community.
