Chapter 59: 49 Any other experts?

"The so-called open-but-closed world is a restricted area within the open world. Although the whole world is intact, players’ actions are confined to a certain fixed area. The blockage may be due to natural disasters, human errors, or compulsory mission rules.

However, you won’t find the ’air wall’ setting of Boxed World here.

That means if a player is powerful enough to break through the map’s blockade, they can ignore the current mission requirements and head directly to the vast open world for adventure. Generally, though, no player chooses to do this. Not only does abandoning the current mission lead to a deduction in points, heading to unknown regions could also lead to encounters with greater dangers, and most likely won’t trigger hidden side quests, making it mostly not worth the risk.

At this time, due to severe weather, both sides of the railway tracks are deserted icy and snowy expanses, and behind is an endless ice and snow jungle. It’s practically impossible for players to walk out of this frozen area on their own; they can only follow the train conductor to Hinamizawa village.

Although the air is filled with swirling snow, some sparse figures and footprints left on the snow can still be seen ahead, obviously, this group of players was the last to disembark.

The train conductor has considerable experience with snowy terrains; as he leads the way, he warns the players of the dangers in the snow.

’Most dangers in the snow are visible to the naked eye; we just need to observe carefully to avoid them. What we really need to watch out for are the invisible dangers. At that time, we need to be fully alert. Once we encounter danger, we absolutely must not lose our calm.’

The conductor is quite diligent, imparting lots of knowledge about snowy terrains to the players.

However, for the players, the biggest problem at the moment isn’t danger, but the cold.

Suddenly coming from a warm season in reality to such icy and snowy conditions, even though they are dressed in thick insulating clothes, they can’t withstand the bone-chilling wind... Of course, not all players are affected by the cold, Yaya and Alien Eye are hardly bothered.

The two, one from Siberia and the other from the Tibetan Region, have both faced various harsh cold conditions, so coming here felt just like coming home.

Look, Yaya didn’t even wear thermal pants, just relying on those two black stockings to fight off all the chill. Her black leather boots stepped in the snow leisurely, following behind the group with a normal expression.

Plat—Plat—

Suddenly, a brisk set of footsteps approached Yaya, and Le Cheng flashed her a bright smile.

’Hello, beautiful lady.’

Yaya glanced at him, acknowledging with a cool nod, ’Hello.’

’You’re Russian, right? I’ve been there before too, say, your Russian is so fluent, can you teach me?’

’Sometime perhaps,’ Yaya responded noncommittally.

’You’re so pretty and have such a good figure, you must be very popular, I feel like we’ll have a lot in common... by the way, beautiful, do you have a boyfriend?’

Is this... flirting?

Yaya realized what was happening and was momentarily speechless. She was not interested in dating someone in the game, so she nodded expressionlessly, ’I have a boyfriend, and he’s as strong as a bear.’

She hoped Le Cheng would get the hint and stop bothering her.

Unexpectedly, Le Cheng’s eyes lit up even more excitedly, ’That’s really great, I love chasing after other people’s girlfriends. Beautiful, shall we be friends?’

At this remark, not just Yaya, but Edward and others nearby were also unable to remain calm.

Even though in terms of appearance, this Russian long-legged beauty is very appealing, this is a hell-level difficulty copy, unknown and full of terrible dangers. Yet here he was, not hurrying along but instead flirting.

Not only flirting but even thinking about taking someone’s girlfriend, is he a reincarnation of a cuckold?

Everyone unanimously felt that Le Cheng was probably out of his mind, but then they realized it made sense. Only someone out of their mind would spend 500 points to exchange for a Voice Changing Belt that had no practical value.

Normal people wouldn’t do such bizarre things!

Yaya shook her head and did not agree to Le Cheng’s friend request. Le Cheng wasn’t upset; he lowered his head to look at Yaya’s black stockings and those thick high-top leather boots, suddenly struck by a thought, ’By the way, beautiful, your shoes wrap your feet so tightly. Once we reach Hinamizawa, I guess your feet will be all sweaty. These stockings won’t be wearable anymore, can you give them to me?’

Yaya immediately became alert and instinctively shrank back, "What do you want my stockings for?"

Le Cheng showed a hearty smile, "Nothing much, just doing some academic research. I’ve always heard that they are very strong, and I want to know if that’s really true."

Is this a pervert?!

Yaya’s pupils dilated, and she quickly quickened her pace, distancing herself from this pervert.

"Hey, don’t go..."

Le Cheng tried to catch up, just then, Jingxiang shouted at him from not far away: "Gai Baonan, if you really want stockings, I can give you mine later."

Edward and others suddenly widened their eyes, showing deep respect.

Are there experts here?

"Scram!"

Le Cheng bluntly showed his disdain, not bothering to look at herself in the mirror, comparing your looks to Yaya’s, can your stockings be of the same value as Yaya’s? Absolutely no comparison!

"Where am I worse than her..." Jingxiang muttered unwillingly, feeling that although she might not match Yaya’s figure, in terms of facial base value, they are at most fifty-fifty.

Edward and Nikun, who were originally quite close to her, now subconsciously kept a half-meter distance, thinking: With your pancake face, trying to compare yourself to Yaya, dream on!

The team continued advancing through the snow, suddenly, a sharp cry echoed above everyone’s heads, the players instinctively looked up, only to see a black hawk circling back and forth in the snowy wind.

"It’s a Snow Vulture!"

The train attendant’s face changed, cautiously warning, "Everyone, be careful, this is one of the most dangerous creatures on the tundra, it mainly feeds on carcasses, but if it gets too hungry, it won’t mind fresh ingredients. Also, it dives very fast, make sure not to fall down, and if you accidentally do, get up quickly...ah!"

The attendant, watching the Snow Vulture above, failed to notice a snow pit underfoot and accidentally fell into the snow.

In his cry of alarm, the Snow Vulture was already diving straight down, in the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge creature with wings spanning over four meters.

So fast!

So huge!

Everyone was stunned, initially not realizing how large the Snow Vulture was until now, it was truly a massive creature! And its speed was as fast as lightning. Before the players could react, the Snow Vulture’s claws were already reaching for the attendant’s neck.

If it caught him, it could directly create four bloody holes in his neck.

The Snow Vulture was fast, but there was something faster; suddenly, a Snow Leopard turned into a blue phantom, rushing up like a streak of lightning, just as the attendant was about to be caught, it bit the Snow Vulture’s neck and pinned it to the ground.

"Good job, Snow Leopard."

Alien Eye whistled, showing off a pure and clear smile, the warm breath from his mouth slowly rising up in a ring of smoke.

The Snow Vulture was incredibly fast, almost beyond the dynamic capture of the players, the Snow Leopard was even faster, truly an avatar of a ghost.

But, they weren’t the fastest.

The moment the Snow Vulture dived downwards, Nabron had already raised his hands and disappeared right before everyone’s eyes.

The fastest on the scene, unmatched!
