Chapter 210: Chapter 202: Ice and Snow Armor! Open the Box! Smash the Barrel!

"That’s it?"

Han Qiwu twirled the ice stick in his hand, feeling a bit unsatisfied.

This big stick is seriously powerful.

If it turns into the form of a legendary sword, wouldn’t it be even stronger?

However, judging by the blade’s transformation earlier, it seems like it will take many battles to cultivate it to full potential.

Take it slow.

Walking over to where the Snowman Captain had turned into white light, Han Qiwu bent down and picked up the loot.

[Snowman Heart]

[Usage: Fuses the four Snow Armor components]

[How to Use: Place it]

[Remark: The heart is the strongest muscle]

[Snowman Key]

[Usage: Unlocks all locks on the 54th level of the mine]

[Remark: Lots of surprises inside]

[Jade]×20

"Well, well, twenty pieces of jade. Guess he’s been looting his underlings quite a bit." Han Qiwu cheerfully pocketed the jade worth 6,000 gold, then grabbed the other four Snow Armor components from his storage and laid them out carefully in the snow. In the center of the arranged components, there was an unmistakable heart-shaped groove.

The Snowman Heart looked like a heart-shaped snowball, cold to the touch, and it matched perfectly with the groove on the Snow Armor.

Han Qiwu gently picked up the Snowman Heart and placed it into the groove.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

The Snowman Heart began to crack and then condensed into over a dozen mini ice whirlwinds. These whirlwinds slid through each crack, quickly sealing them up completely.

[Remark: A fully-charged Snowman Heart can further enhance Snow Armor’s attributes]

The repaired Ice-Snow Armor remained a half-body armor, entirely silver-white with intricate snowflake patterns. Its touch was smooth and warm, with hollowed-out edges adorned with snowflake effects.

So cool!

Han Qiwu couldn’t wait to put it on, using the nearby ice surface as a mirror to admire his hard-earned prize.

All these days of grinding—it’s finally paid off!

Its attributes were absolutely worth the effort Han Qiwu had poured into it.

All the necessary elements for battle were there, fully loaded.

"Good thing I insta-killed the Snowman Captain earlier; otherwise, this Ice-Snow Armor wouldn’t be this strong." Han Qiwu glanced at the remark, quickly understanding why the armor’s attributes were much better than what he’d seen before.

After equipping the Ice-Snow Armor, Han Qiwu tentatively took a few steps to the side.

"Zoom!"

The extra movement speed bonus in snowy environments gave Han Qiwu a significant edge, allowing him to move swiftly.

The rest of its attributes would have to be experienced in battle.

Time to open some chests!

Han Qiwu grabbed the [Snowman Key] and headed over to the locked treasures that the Snowman Captain had been guarding.

There were four chests, five barrels, and one staircase in total.

He walked to the first chest, inserted the key, and gently turned it.

"Click."

As the mechanism clicked, the chest lid popped open swiftly, revealing the treasures inside.

[You obtained 2000 gold]

"Don’t give me just gold, give me something good!" Han Qiwu grumbled slightly and moved to the next chest.

[You obtained a Snowman Miner Doll]

[Snowman Miner Doll]

[Usage: Mining/Finding ores]

[Remaining Energy: 100/100]

[Remark: The Snowman Miner Doll can help you obtain more ores]

The Snowman Miner Doll looked adorable. It had a red hat, red scarf, and red nose, standing at a height of forty centimeters, holding a tiny, cute mining pickaxe.

"This thing is quite interesting." Han Qiwu happily put it away. "But its pickaxe is so tiny. Can it actually mine? I’ll test it out at other mine levels later."

Keep opening.

[You obtained the Snowman’s Curse]

[Snowman’s Curse: Movement speed -30 in ice-snow environments, effect lasts for 5 hours]

Han Qiwu: "......."

Fine.

If you walk along the riverbank often enough, you’re bound to get your feet wet.

Just slower speed, right? I’ll take my time!

Han Qiwu trudged slowly over to the last chest and opened it decisively.

It can’t possibly be another curse, right!

[You obtained the artifact: Centennial Snowball]

[Centennial Snowball: A once-in-a-century treasure]

"Centennial Snowball? I’ll let Zack study this thing." Han Qiwu stashed it away, then swung the ice stick to break open the nearby barrels.

[You obtained Multi-Flavored Ice Shaves ×1]

[Multi-Flavored Ice Shaves]

[Stamina +50]

[HP +30]

[Remark: It’s Multi-Flavored Ice Shaves, not Budweiser Ice Shaves]

The Multi-Flavored Ice Shaves were served in an ice bowl, with a substantial portion weighing nearly half a pound. Inside the bowl was also a small ice spoon, making it look intriguing.

Just as Han Qiwu was feeling thirsty, he picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of the ice shaves to taste.

It turned out to be orange-flavored.

The texture was sandy and very refreshing to eat.

The orange flavor was natural, not like the artificial flavor of ice shaves sold outside.

In no time, Han Qiwu had finished the bowl of ice shaves and gleefully swung his ice stick, smashing open the remaining barrels.

[You obtained Multi-Flavored Ice Shaves ×4]

Not bad, I can save these for Mr. Tang to try.

Finally, Han Qiwu used the Snowman Key to unlock the staircase and exited the 54th level of the mine.

[You arrived at the 55th level of the mine]

As soon as his vision adjusted, Han Qiwu heard the sound of rushing water nearby.

Following the noise, he struggled to walk over fifty meters and came across a flowing underground ice river. Large chunks of floating ice drifted along the underground river, creating a magnificent scene.

Just like the previous mine layers, the riverbank also had four to five diggable sections.

Unfortunately, his pickaxe was still being upgraded, so he could only take a look before reluctantly turning his gaze away.

Next time, then.

Still, while I can’t dig, I can fish!

Han Qiwu removed his Ice-Snow Armor and traditional straw hat, replacing them with a fisherman’s hat and raincoat.

Then, utilizing the raincoat’s special effect—"Snow on a Cold River," he casually grabbed some snow nearby and molded it into fish bait.

"This should work," Han Qiwu muttered as he tentatively attached the snow bait to his fishing rod, "Red Sun."

[Snow on a Cold River triggered, fake bait successfully equipped]

It actually worked.

So this means the raincoat’s "Lonely Boat" effect must also be triggered by now.

Maybe I’ll catch some high-quality fish later!

Han Qiwu smiled slightly and cast his fishing hook forcefully into the icy river.

"Swoosh."

The hook smacked against the ice surface of a floating chunk of ice instead of entering the water.

Han Qiwu: "?????"

This is possible?

He silently retracted the hook and cast it again.

"Bang."

It hit the floating ice again.

After four or five attempts, the hook finally fell into the gap between two floating ice blocks and reached the water successfully.

"Beep beep."

Within just five seconds of the hook entering the water, Han Qiwu triggered the fishing mini-game.

Seeing the fish’s icon, Han Qiwu smirked.

Today is the day for payback!

It was the very same white fish that Han Qiwu repeatedly failed to catch on the 40th level of the mine.

Upon recognizing its icon, Han Qiwu quickly controlled the float to pursue the white fish.

The fisherman’s hat provided him a "float length +2" bonus, making this pursuit much easier than before.

As the white fish was about to be caught, it flicked its tail and released a beam of blue light, freezing the float.

[Your float was struck by the white fish’s freezing attack, unable to move for three seconds]

"Duke of Thunder, aid me!"

Unfazed, Han Qiwu cast a beginner-level lightning spell toward the white fish.

You think you’re the only one with skills?

"Blinded yet?"

Following the lightning spell, he launched a sunlight spell for good measure.

Two-pronged attack!

[Congratulations! You successfully caught an Ice River White Fish (Gold Star quality) in the underground ice river]

[Ice River White Fish (Gold Star Quality ⭐⭐)]

[Stamina +100]

[HP +100]

[Special Effect - Warming: Consuming it alleviates internal coldness]

[Special Effect - Pain Relief: Significantly reduces physical pain]

[Remark: A beacon for women!]
