Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2281 - 856: Snow Cloud Peak’s Injury

  • Next Chapter

’Snow Cloud Peak’ Salai nimbly leaped down.

Even while still working hard, ’Magic Sword’ couldn’t help but lean forward a bit, the hand holding the metal wire stretched out futilely: "Did he even consider the problem of gravity acceleration?"

"He could have used the Featherfall Technique!" ’Perfect Bald’ said irritably, "Unless he just..."

’Boom!’

’Perfect Bald’ awkwardly took back his remaining words, mumbling in disbelief: "When he was ambushed, he died so decisively. I thought... he deliberately did it accidentally.

The Featherfall Technique, isn’t it just holding a feather and muttering ’Flying Feather’ to float up?

And it almost doesn’t consume any mana.

Why does he always forget to use it?"

"Why don’t you ask him directly!" ’Magic Sword’ glanced at the slowly emerging figure of ’Snow Cloud Peak’, "Old Dog always refreshes my low expectations for hand-eye coordination."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ appeared wobbly, looking innocent as he said: "What are you talking about?

This is my first time, I’m definitely testing the waters!

Moreover, as I fell, I managed to smash a Swordsman who was sticking to the pillar!

Turns out they had quite a few people standing there. We need to be careful when acting."

"Do you think I believe that?" ’Perfect Bald’ stared at him, "Old Dog, you...

Forget it, it’s really just minor stuff.

As long as you’re okay, it’s fine."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ paused, then shook his head slightly: "It’s nothing, really.

I just react a bit slowly; but I’m basically not any different from a normal person now.

Just need more practice.

Haven’t you noticed that my reaction speed has been a bit odd these past two years?

It’s because of recovery training."

’Perfect Bald’ tilted his head slightly... then looked up as if sensing something.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ always emphasizes spending his life in this game because it relates to the game’s terminal?

The precision in the Space-Time game is decent, but it can only be said that it doesn’t differ much from the top games on the market.

But their consciousness projection device is surprisingly not tiring at all.

Playing games also consumes energy... When virtual games first emerged, everyone hoped one day they could sleep while playing.

It’s not impossible.

But, they are mostly shallow sleep; essentially still consuming one’s spiritual power.

To enter deep sleep within a game, you must actually sleep in the game.

Some people manage to stay online all day simply because their spiritual power is very high... long periods of shallow sleep coupled with sporadic deep sleep allow quick energy recovery.

But research from the Academy found that deep sleep in games is of discounted quality.

Military personnel generally don’t invest time in virtual gaming for this reason... their tactical training already consumes substantial spiritual power.

Entering virtual games doesn’t benefit them much.

Speaking of which, the deep slumbers I had within this game were indeed quite comfortable.

The relaxing scents in their rooms, the cozy furniture, gave a sense of genuinely clearing ’mental dust’ just like NPC merchants advertised.

Could it be that it’s not just a feeling?

Nonetheless, ’Perfect Bald’ believes that Space-Time Company must have cooperation with the Alliance.

They’re too assertive.

Everyone is inclined differently toward their second world; the Alliance’s strongest game must be classical style, not Space-Time’s western fantasy type.

Still a game that requires high skill and has certain limitations on character.

In terms of market share, Space-Time Company is certainly not the strongest.

But, although not as some companies claim, with billions of players... this company’s player retention rate is the lowest.

Most people find it hard to leave once they get the hang of it.

’Perfect Bald’ glanced at the somewhat despondent ’Snow Cloud Peak’... Space-Time game likely has made progress in spiritual comfort.

As virtual worlds evolve today, every bit of progress implies unparalleled benefits.

Space-Time Company undoubtedly passed their better technology to the military to protect themselves from shares division by other families.

After all, respecting the independence of various companies sounds nice and perfect, but reality can’t be evaded... games indeed illuminate and warm the spiritual world, yet game companies must still build servers on real land.

Without backing, at most one can maintain control rights... like Space-Time Company, avoiding public listing and stocks allocation may lead only to ’everybody’s downfall.’

Although none openly admit, they understand that Space-Time Company must rely on powerful backing.

It seems, this big tree is the military.

As for ’Snow Cloud Peak’... this guy belongs to the retired due to errors group, although the military still recognizes his identity, he himself is not too willing to accept the army’s help.

So, is this guy planning to take it slow in this game?

But, Snow Old Dog’s injury is clearly better.

’Perfect Bald’ has always had a wide circle of friends and actually knows how many issues can arise during the recovery of someone with mental damage.

Especially with temporarily losing some related memories... it’s possible, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ just doesn’t remember the Featherfall Technique spells, or just doesn’t remember how to touch feathers.

Even though his cloak is full of feathers.

’Perfect Bald’ has no intention of mocking Snow Old Dog at this time... although these scars are his medals.

However, being able to turn these medals into stardust is the most beautiful scenery in life.

’Perfect Bald’ suddenly felt cheerful and had the leisure to think about something else...

No wonder, the always extreme ’Snow Cloud Peak’ suddenly sees the true heart of ’Susu’.

Indeed... right time, right place, right people, not one is missing.

Speaking of, ’Perfect Bald’, actually always thought that ’Snow Cloud Peak’s strong spiritual power, which endures better in virtual games than anyone else’s willpower, was due to the past virtual tactics training.

But now, it seems possible it’s because of his somewhat explosive spiritual power.

He knows... a guy like ’Snow Cloud Peak’, even if he doesn’t want to retreat to the second line, shouldn’t be so left alone.

It seems, his mental damage is seriously severe.

’Perfect Bald’ fluttered his long eyelashes slightly... if he wants to know part of the reason, it’s actually not difficult.

After all, in the Proud Sky Alliance, there’s obviously someone who knows a bit... that ’Susu’ who sees Snow Old Dog as his salvation.

But he definitely won’t do that.

Living in this world, there are things one should do and should not do, he won’t let himself lose the moral baseline.

’Perfect Bald’ hesitated for a few seconds, still asked: "Hey Old Dog, can’t you do a temporary enchantment on your cloak?

I remember your Mana Patterns, although not really good, still, this kind of Low Rank enchantment, you shouldn’t have any problem, right?"

’Snow Cloud Peak’ blinked, his foot silently changed direction at the edge of the stone pillar.

Then, leaning against ’Magic Sword’ sat down, also took out a bunch of tools from the bag.

’Perfect Bald’ took a deep breath... remember, you just decided not to mock him in this aspect, must hold it in!

But he feels really stifled!

Then he finally found an outlet for himself: "Sure enough, only someone bad at this has a big appetite, poor students have lots of stationery."

’Snow Cloud Peak’s Mana Patterns tools, absolutely top-notch he’s ever seen... even those High-level Mana Patterns merchants probably don’t have this many good things.

But, this is a guy who has to use a tablet projection to engrave a cloak enchantment of Featherfall Technique... ’Perfect Bald’ remembers, majoring in potions, Mana Patterns enchantment is just a hobby ’Chattering’, it’s something done in a flash.

’Magic Sword’s metal bridge had already been braided into the third strand, letting bees penetrate the edge of the tiny holes, when ’Snow Cloud Peak’ finally finished fiddling with that Mana Pattern.

’Perfect Bald’ stared as he used High-level materials, to play with a Elementary Stage Mana Pattern... the effect didn’t even improve.

Though the Undead Tribe genuinely doesn’t care about consumption when practicing basic skills... using something worth 500 gold to produce something valued at 1 gold is overboard.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ didn’t mind ’Perfect Bald’s jaw-dropping expression but held up his own cloak, looking satisfied.

Then triumphantly put on that white cloak dyed with green light again, indomitably charged down the stone pillar once more.

"I remember that Ghost Bone Whistle, doesn’t seem to be something bound to the user, right?" ’Magic Sword’ who hadn’t said anything, asked quietly, "Isn’t it a better solution for you to jump down with it?

Knight, isn’t it capable of a mid-air double jump?"

’Perfect Bald’ looked surprised at him: "Why do you always have brains when you shouldn’t be smart?

Do you think Old Dog wouldn’t know this?

He’s just bad at skills, not with brains turned into bean curd."

"Ah..." ’Magic Sword’ awkwardly laughed twice, "So, why?"

"Later, I’ll have to die!" ’Perfect Bald’ said calmly, "We’re deliberately messing with their estimates of our resurrection time.

But I have to help you dig together, right?

So, later he has to go down a few more times, and I’ll occasionally go down once.

Otherwise, even if they can’t get up, they have to float up and take a look!

Only when we keep moving, which indicates a struggle, can we make them ignore your existence.

Heh~ you don’t know how much spiritual power it takes to turn a red package into a black package?"

"I don’t think so." ’Magic Sword’ said straightforwardly, "Here, I’m definitely not the one most drawing attention.

When I play decoy, it’s always group combat, everyone dressed similarly, it’s easy to miss when hitting."
