Chloe had long developed the habit of waking up at 8 AM every day. But she had pushed herself beyond her linin resterday, working with the resource card for 24 hours straight.

Her Energy might have fully recovered, but her body remained exhausted It wasn’t until she finally got enough sleep he felt human again. ‘Guess even the system can’t cheat real exhaustion,’ she thought.

By the time she opened her eyes again, it was noon.

She opened the System Panel to find the Trading Post blowing up with messages.

SpringBreeze: What the heck? It’s even colder today. Plus, the snow’s coming down harder! Why are they making the game ven tougher?]

SpringBreeze: And what’s with the new Heightened Senses? Can someone explain what that’s even supposed to be?]

FortuneSpring: Who knows, man. Both my sense of taste and smell just snapped back to normal overnight. How is anyone upposed to eat the rotten mutton now? It’s so gross!]

TangyBerry: Forget all that! Why do my hands suddenly hurt so much?]

Chloe observed the chat for some time and finally gained a rough understanding of the system update.

It seemed that after today’s update, the system’s feedback system, whether it was the sense of taste, smell, touch, or pain, had ust taken immersion to a whole new level.

The line between the game and reality was becoming increasingly blurred with every passing minute.

On top of that, over a thousand players died overnight.

Most of them had failed to prepare in advance and, unable to cope with the sudden snowfall, ultimately froze to death.

ľ

[AAA_Weapon Depot: Damn! This game doesn’t want anyone to survive! It’s a new disaster every day!]

[AAA_Weapon Depot: You’ll literally freeze to death in this game!]

Due to the update, the Trading Post was unusually active today. They were realizing just how brutal the game could be

Even the weather itself could kill.

The game was getting harder and harder by the day.

But Chloe knew it was only just the beginning.

On the bright side, the freezing weather only made the Flame Fruit in her possession more valuable than ever

At that moment, Rich DragonWolf was shivering from the cold, huddled in thin, flimsy clothe by the Campfire

erritory, desperately trying to keep warm

The Chilled status had significantly reduced all his stats

His eyes nearly popped out of his head when he read Chloe’s message about the Flame Frait

Fruit?’ Just the word alone made his heart pound.

Fruits came with special buffs, and more importantly, were described as insanely delicious.

since the start of the game, he had been scouring the chat groups for anyone selling fruits or vegetables henever he had ime and resources to spare.

Jnfortunately, reality had been harsh.

There was plenty of meat going around.

But fruits and vegetables? Never. Not even once had they appeared on the market.

Yet he was seeing that very word right now. He stared at his screen in disbelief. ‘For real? Am I finally going to see a fruit in he game? After all this time?’

Though he was someone who loved meat enough to call himself a carnivore, his mouth watered when she mentioned the lame Fruit tasted like a crisp peach. He hadn’t seen anything this tempting since the game started.

He immediately sent a reply.

RichDragonWolf: Absolutely! I have tons of Arcane Materials. I’ll reserve everything for you!]

At the time, giving those Arcane Materials to her had been a spur-of-the-moment whim. He never expected what started as

casual gift would lead to such an unexpected payoff, connecting him with a top-tier player.

At this stage of the game, finding a trustworthy ally wasn’t easy.

He had been hoping to develop a solid long-term partnership during the Novice Protection Period, which was why he decided to test the waters by sending her a gift.

As it stood, giving her those Legendary-grade materials turned out to be the best decision he ever made

Chloe: Fire-Elemental Arcane Materials are my top priority. But I’m also looking for crystals with traits such as Magic Medium or Elemental Medium.]

He opened his storage. He had already realized that she was someone who valued fair trades. Working with such a person would offer stability and security, especially since he could trust her to keep things straight.

But… it was also something he could leverage.

His mind began to spin, already plotting his next move.
