Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

The original places like "Speed ​​City" and "Gray Mist Ridge," which seemed like safe havens, were inhabited by monsters.

If the garbage city below and the lost paradise beneath our feet were both safe, it would actually be a bit illogical.

It's only logical that there should be some degree of danger involved.

Now that so many days have passed, the body has vanished without a trace. Although it's strange, the four of them weren't too surprised.

"50%?"

"Are those monsters really that strong?"

Wang Qingqing looked surprised. Judging from the previous two locations, the monsters were not very strong. In fact, Lin Fan was able to cover everyone's retreat at the same time.

Now that all four have awakened this power, there is still a 50% chance of danger.

"Yes, so we must be prepared to retreat at any time. We must know the route back to Garbage City by heart; it is our only way out."

"If anything unexpected happens and the team is forced to disband, everyone head towards Garbage City."

"Although it stinks down there, at least it's safe, and now that you've all awakened this power, your physical abilities have also improved."

"Even without my [Great Sky Rhythm], I won't freeze to death on the way."

Squeak~ Squeak~ Squeak~

The treasure-hunting mouse gives the feeling of being unfamiliar with the roads when it first goes to a big city. It sniffs the ground every now and then, just like you who checks the navigation every few steps.

Three hours passed like this.

"Lin Fan, why do I feel like the treasure-hunting rat is moving slower?"

Tyson Bolt suddenly spoke up.

"Now that you mention it, it's true. I also felt that the treasure-hunting rat wasn't as fast as it used to be. I thought it was because it was too tired."

Wang Qingqing echoed.

Assam shook his head upon hearing this: "There's no such thing as being too tired. This treasure-hunting rat isn't a living being; it's a product of manifested abilities. It won't be affected unless I'm affected."

Another hour passed for the four of them.

The treasure-hunting mouse has really slowed down this time. At first, everyone felt that it had slowed down, but now it is visibly slower.

"It seems you have indeed been affected, Assam."

Lin Fan suddenly spoke, his expression grave, as if he had thought of something:

"You must be feeling cold now, right?"

Assam didn't deny it, nodding: "It is a bit cold, but not to the point of being cold."

"So you felt it too. I thought it was because I'm a girl and my body is weaker. It seems we're all the same."

Wang Qingqing said calmly.

"Yeah?"

"I'm a girl too! How come I don't feel cold? At most, I just feel a little cold wind."

Tyson Bolt touched his rugged face, then, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, punched his left arm with his right fist.

"I see!"

"It seems that everyone's physical condition is different, and this difference has nothing to do with how strong you are, but rather with your status."

"Aside from Lin Fan, if we only consider the individual members, it would definitely be me > Assam > Wang Qingqing."

"But in reality, it's me > Wang Qingqing > Assam."

"From this perspective, the more a person's identity leans towards physical strength, the stronger their physical abilities; conversely, those like 'treasure hunters,' who are similar to summoners, have the weakest physical abilities."

Assam and Wang Qingqing nodded in unison, as if they made some sense.

suddenly.

Suddenly, the people who were running were enveloped in a layer of red light.

"This is... [Great Sky Rhythm]?"

"Lin Fan, why? This level of cold, we can..."

Don't underestimate this cold!

"It may not seem like much now, but it will only get colder over time."

Lin Fan sternly interrupted Wang Qingqing's doubts.

"You may not have noticed yet, but this cold is quite unusual."

"First, it cannot be dispelled by exercise. No matter how much you run, the coldness will only increase, but the increase will be very slight."

"Secondly, it's not just our bodies that are cold, but also the psychic energy within us!"

Telekinesis refers to the supernatural power within the body.

It was proposed by Tyson Bolt and was a name that was agreed upon after discussion.

"What?!"

After Lin Fan said that, the three of them belatedly realized what was going on.

"No wonder the Treasure-Hunting Rat has slowed down," Assam muttered to himself. "It turns out my body and psychic powers have been affected by the freezing."

"But why? Why is it cold here?" Wang Qingqing asked, puzzled. "Isn't the cold only present in the transparent passage connecting Garbage City and Paradise Lost?"

"The cold disappeared after we got up here."

"We stayed in Paradise Lost for a while, so why were we fine before, but this happened as soon as we got back?"

Lin Fan didn't slip his hand; he seemed to be thinking about the answer to this question as well.

The four men sat in silence for a moment, then Tyson Bolt suddenly spoke:

"Could it be because we didn't have enough 'cumulative time' before, and now we just happen to have enough?"

"Think about it carefully. Those ordinary people who hadn't awakened yet didn't all die suddenly. They committed suicide one by one over time."

"This illustrates that differences exist between individuals, just like we are now."

"Perhaps mental tactics like suicide don't work on us, so this godforsaken place uses physical methods, namely cooling down."

"Furthermore, there isn't a single living creature here besides us, so I seriously doubt that this place was ever intended for any living being to stay for long."

"Over time, it will continuously increase the living conditions, which means it will keep cooling down. If we try to withstand it, we'll likely only face death!"

Tyson Bolt's words dealt a significant blow to everyone's hearts.

Although it was just her personal speculation.

"You're amazing! Although I don't have any evidence, your analysis seems very logical. I really can't believe you're an athlete. Your academic performance in school must have been pretty good too, right?"

Wang Qingqing praised him, then patted Lin Fan on the shoulder:

"Let's go back, back to the area beneath the garbage city."

"Even if there are only four people, your [Great Void Rhythm] will be completely depleted if this continues for a long time."

Lin Fan fell silent.

Wang Qingqing was right; Tyson Bolt's guess coincided with his own thoughts.

If we want to go back, we also need to consider the return journey time and whether the remaining mental energy can sustain us until the descent point.

If you leave now, you'll miss the opportunity presented by this auspicious day!

Lin Fan hesitated because, in addition to the opportunity, there was also a 50% mortality rate!

To advance or to retreat?

A few seconds of deep thought felt like centuries of reincarnation.

If we want both safety and opportunity, then we'll have to split up and act separately...

But he had a vague feeling that something was off about Tyson Bolt, and he didn't feel comfortable letting Wang Qingqing leave with him.

Sigh... I'm still a kind-hearted fat guy...

Just as Lin Fan was about to retreat.

suddenly.

squeak! ! !

After letting out a long squeak, the treasure-hunting rat suddenly began to accelerate.

"Target found!"

The sudden joy dispelled the slight gloom on Assam's face.

Seeing this, Lin Fan's face also showed a long-lost joy, revealing his childish and immature nature:

"All troops, attack!"
