Chapter 654: Offline for Seven Days, Still Alive?
After giving a solid hit to both Qianshou and Super Pachitt Vegeta with a wooden club, He Yiming finally found Mu Xueying.
"The Cambrian Ice Calamity will appear in one day and last for three days!" Mu Xueying naturally understood He Yiming's intention and directly spoke.
"One day..." He Yiming's expression turned gloomy.
One day was truly too short; there was no way he could recover in that time.
So He Yiming began to speak.
"Disciples!"
"The Cambrian Ice Calamity will arrive in one day!"
"We have very little time left! Human disciples, hold on a bit longer and make all necessary preparations! The responsibility for what comes next will be handed over to the demon disciples!" He Yiming said loudly.
"What? Only one day?"
"Damn it, hurry up!"
"Quick, Qianshou, let's go and cover the rooftops!"
...
Even though the players had been gaming for days without sleep, when they heard that only one day remained, their spirits were lifted!
No sleep, let's continue the hype!
So, all the players dispersed and continued to build and upgrade shelters.
Qianshou and mC Mythology, the old pillar, soared into the air and began constructing wooden roofs large enough to cover a hundred miles around the massive pit.
After all, the Cambrian Ice Calamity was extremely cold, and without a closed shelter that could isolate the external environment, it would be impossible to withstand.
Meanwhile, in the upper-level council chamber:
"This is bad. We've basically stayed online for seven days. We were already exhausted, and now our cultivation and realm have dropped as well!"
"Yes, except for Qianshou and Super Pachitt Vegeta, most human players are practically crippled!"
"I see Luffy has already logged off. He probably stayed online for seven days and is going to get scolded by his parents! Sigh, being a student is tough! Thankfully, I graduated many years ago!"
...
Star, Lei Yin, and the others discussed with exhaustion, feeling depleted both mentally and physically.
While they were unwilling, it was true that most human players had reached their limits.
Their cultivation and realms had plummeted in the game.
Outside the game, not logging off for seven consecutive days had taken a significant toll.
In contrast, most demon players had a relatively easy time during these seven days. The majority of them played during the day and logged off to sleep at night, and they were still full of energy!
After all, the Famine and Drought of Starvation had little effect on demon players.
Demon players couldn't rely on the Qing Emperor Eternal Body to help with farming. The beasts raised by the ancient beings would also reach their limits soon.
Aside from the hamster demon responsible for providing power to rotate the expensive highways that transported vegetables underground, most demon players were indeed idle.
"But for the upcoming Cambrian Ice Calamity, we'll have to rely on the demon players..." Star slowly said.
It was time for human players to take a break, as many of them had work, families, and children.
Not logging off for seven days had already pushed them to their limits.
"But the issue is that while their combat strength is alright, the demon players' power is truly not bad! However, the following three major calamities will definitely be harder one after another! Can they handle it? Also, within the demon players, is there someone capable of coordinating and commanding the overall situation?" Theoretical Master couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, no problem!" Just then, a voice sounded.
Everyone turned their gazes.
It was none other than Demon Itachi and the members of Akatsuki.
"I've already talked to Brother Ming. He's given me the only live streaming permission!"
"During that time, I will use the live stream to consult with everyone online! Moreover, we have forum friends and Master Demon Itachi to help! Rest assured and take a break! I'll take on the three calamities that follow!" Demon Itachi suddenly spoke up, radiating confidence.
"..." Star and the others exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.
Next, human players continued with their preparations. After finishing their tasks, many of them couldn't hold on any longer and logged off.
However, in the eyes of the ancient beings...
"Has the benefactor collapsed? Quickly, take the benefactor back home and take good care of them!"
"Our deities, I promise I will take care of you!"
"Someone help, let's carry them back together! Let the benefactors rest on a comfortable bed!!!"
...
Many of the ancient beings carried the human players who had logged off back to their homes and took good care of them.
Because these ancient beings firmly believed that these benefactors who had worked hard for them and had suddenly collapsed, unable to wake up no matter what, must be extremely tired.
It was definitely exhaustion!
All this effort was for them!
Meanwhile...
"Damn it, I've been offline for seven days, and I'm still alive?!" Beef Noodle Soup slowly opened his eyes.
"Huh? I didn't die?" Beef Noodle Soup was dumbfounded as he opened his eyes.
Wait a minute, I've been offline for seven days and I'm still alive?
Did this game cheat for me?
"Master, ahhhh!" As soon as Beef Noodle Soup opened his eyes, he saw the weeping Inferno.
"Master!!!" Inferno looked at the pitiful figure of his master, tears streaming down his face.
Seven days.
Inferno had finally found the missing Beef Noodle Soup after a lot of effort.
However, when he found his master, Inferno was shocked to discover something!
All the food in the storage bracelet his master had left for him had been completely consumed by himself!
In other words...
His master had already known that there wouldn't be enough food to endure this terrible calamity, so he pretended to seal his consciousness and actually left him, deliberately leaving all the food for him.
Because there was only enough food for one person!
If they shared it...
In all likelihood, after four days, both of them would starve to death together!
However...
"Master!!!" Inferno looked down.
At this moment, Beef Noodle Soup, with half of his body still in the crystalline state of dark purple, had lost a significant amount of weight. His once towering figure probably weighed less than thirty kilograms, and his whole body felt as light as a feather.
Half of his body was still in the black-purple crystalline state.
But the other half of his body...
Was emitting a strange radiance, much like a golden sun!
"Hmm? Why can't I even lift my arm? Damn it, have my arms and legs shrunk due to weakness?!" Beef Noodle Soup was still cursing.
Suddenly, he heard a notification sound.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to player Beef Noodle Soup for comprehending the new Insight Power, Famine and Drought of Starvation!"
Seeing this notification, Beef Noodle Soup was utterly dumbfounded.
Although his current condition was indeed quite miserable...
However, his left half was emitting a golden sun-like radiance, and on top of that, he comprehended a new Insight Power?
Is this a show-off?
"Ah, I get it! I must have triggered some kind of BUG! H
ahaha! This is such a blood-earning opportunity, I've struck gold!" Beef Noodle Soup couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
As for why he hadn't died after seven days, it must have been because Inferno had taken good care of him!
"My disciple! You've suffered for seven days! You've done well!" Beef Noodle Soup lowered his head and said kindly.
"Master!!!" Inferno had countless words to say in his heart, but when they reached his lips, he couldn't utter a word.
How great a sacrifice had his master made for him, who had struggled so hard before? To intentionally say that he was sealing his consciousness, but in reality, he had deliberately left to give everything to him, even all the food.
Because that food was only enough for one person!
If they shared...
They probably would have starved to death together within four days.
However...
"Boom!"
"Boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Inferno slowly stood up. Tears in his eyes stopped flowing, and his entire aura erupted!
The countless ingredients he had consumed before, the meat of countless ancient beasts, and the accumulated power of various spiritual materials within his body, at this moment...
As Inferno's willpower exploded, they were all completely assimilated!
"Boom!" The next moment, Inferno's aura erupted once more, his strength ascending yet another level!
"Discipleship's teachings and care, I, Inferno, will never forget!" Inferno lowered his head and said slowly.
"???" Beef Noodle Soup was dumbfounded.
Damn it, this kid has grasped something again? I casually said he had suffered, and he leveled up again?
Can you not be so crafty?
Please, can you level up a bit slower? This really hurt the self-esteem of the me, who is nicknamed the Super Little Genius!
But right now, the urgent matter isn't this! It's...
"Quick, get some food for my master! I'm starving!" Beef Noodle Soup urgently said.
Grass, this game's experience is just too realistic!
As a result, following the game's rhythm, I unconsciously ate hotpot in real life, and ended up with food poisoning and had to go to the hospital!
But...
"I only ate 7,000 crayfish, 80 plates of meat, and over a thousand crab sticks... It's really not much..." Beef Noodle Soup calculated by tapping his fingers.
"Boom!" Just then, a ground-shaking roar resounded.
Beef Noodle Soup raised his head, only to see a colossal creature nearly 10,000 meters tall crashing down before him.
"Master, I caught one. What do you think? Is it enough to eat?" Inferno landed gracefully in the air, asking cautiously.
"???" Beef Noodle Soup was at a loss for words.
