Lin Xuan opened the message and saw that the sender was none other than Shen Yufei, whom he had met at the service area earlier.
"Lin Xuan, Zhao Lei's brother Zhao Gang already knows that you killed his brother. He is currently gathering men to seek revenge on you."
Lin Xuan glanced at it and casually typed a few words back: "Understood."
The other party replied almost instantly: "Is that all the reaction you have?"
"What else? What kind of reaction do I need from a player ranked 962nd?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, and then another message was sent.
"You don't need to worry too much about Zhao Gang, but you'd better be careful about the forces behind him."
"What power?"
"The Temple of Godslaying"
Upon seeing those three words, Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly.
"What era are we living in? People still come up with such childish guild names. This guild is very strong. They started recruiting on the first day of the game, and now several members of their guild are among the top 100 on the leaderboard."
"Moreover, this guild is notorious for being vengeful. Although Zhao Gang's ranking isn't high, he joined the Temple of Gods Killing a long time ago and can be considered a veteran member. Killing his brother is tantamount to slapping the Temple of Gods Killing in the face. Given their style of doing things, they won't let this go easily."
Why are you telling me all this?
Lin Xuan was silent for a moment before replying. Although Black Rose had tried to win him over before, her attitude towards him was a bit too good. Even though he had clearly refused several times, she was still so enthusiastic. It just felt a bit strange!
"Because our student council president wants to see you!"
After a few seconds of silence, the other party replied again, "The guild leader? It's this guild leader again?"
Lin Xuan frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. Uesugi Rin, the manager of Black Rose, had previously said that their president wanted to see him, and now they were using the same excuse again. "I understand. If there's a chance in the future, I can go and meet your president!"
After replying to the message, Lin Xuan immediately closed the private chat channel. "Brother, could it be that the president of Black Rose likes you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao peeked her head over and blinked.
His words were laced with a sour jealousy!
"Never even seen one before, what's there to like! Sit properly!"
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at him, then stepped on the gas, started the engine, and the van drove back onto the highway, speeding towards the direction marked on the treasure map.
More than two thousand kilometers. Before that, no matter what kind of temple of slaying gods, Zhao Gang, or the president of the Black Rose, they should all obediently wait in line.
Time passed slowly. Lin Xuan sat in the driver's seat, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. Since using two bottles of intermediate-level body enhancement potion, he had discovered that in addition to being stronger than ordinary people, his fatigue level had also decreased significantly. Such tireless concentration would have been unbearable for most people, but he was completely unaffected. The intermediate-level body enhancement potion alone was so terrifying. He really couldn't imagine what he would become a physical god if he took the only bottle of advanced-level body enhancement potion.
"Brother, how much longer?"
Just then, a light, airy voice came from the passenger seat. Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were still somewhat languid, and casually said, "About 1000 kilometers left, huh? What? Are you still carsick?"
Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "When have I ever gotten carsick? But, brother, haven't you noticed something's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's clearly nine in the morning, but it's still dark!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan paused, glancing down at the time display inside the car: 09:07.
Based on the pattern of the past few days, it should be dawn by now!
But everything outside the window still looked like it was the middle of the night. He had been driving all day and felt full of energy, and had no concept of time. If Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't reminded him, he would have thought it was still the middle of the night!
Lin Xuan frowned and immediately opened the world channel. The moment the screen lit up, a flood of messages poured out like a hornet's nest that had been poked.
"Has anyone noticed that it's still dark? Shouldn't it be daytime by now?"
"I thought it was just me, but it turns out it's the same for you guys? That gave me quite a shock!"
"Could it be a bug in the game?"
"What kind of bug could cause this kind of commotion? A game with five billion people, and it just suddenly becomes a bug?"
Looking at the messages streaming down the screen, Lin Xuan's expression wasn't as tense as before. If everyone in the world encountered such strange things, it wouldn't be a big deal. But if it was only their side that was experiencing darkness, then he had to consider whether they had stumbled into the legendary "..."
"Nibelungen"!
Just then, a cold system notification sound suddenly came from the car's central control unit, "Ding."
"System Announcement: Extreme weather is approaching. Extreme cold weather will cover the entire game world in thirty minutes, with an unknown duration. Temperatures will plummet to below minus forty degrees Celsius. Please prepare for the cold."
"To reiterate: Extreme cold weather will cover the entire area in thirty minutes. Please prepare accordingly!"
"Extreme weather?"
Lin Xuan frowned, glancing at the amenities in his car. He had air conditioning, a large bed, and this—a hot pot. "Wait, where did this hot pot come from?"
Seeing the hot pot placed in the middle, Lin Xuan was stunned. This thing was not here before, so how did it suddenly appear here?
"Um—this is something I got from a treasure chest. I had nowhere to use it until I was just organizing my storage space and remembered I had this!"
Su Ran stuck out her tongue, two delicate blushes rising on her fair face. "Okay!"
Lin Xuan nodded, almost giving Su Nian a big thumbs up!
Now, they not only have air conditioning, but also blankets and even hot pot. This extreme weather probably won't affect them at all, no matter how cold it gets!
This reminded him of a saying: You're riding in a van with your wife, eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly—this extreme weather comes!
He snapped out of his daze and opened the world chat channel. By then, the messages on the screen had gone completely insane.
"Minus forty degrees Celsius? Are you kidding me? How are we supposed to survive that?"
"Thank goodness, I'm at a service area now. At least I won't freeze to death here!"
"Hehe, buddy upstairs, don't forget, you can only stay in the service area for three days. What will you do if this cold weather lasts longer than three days?"
"What extreme weather? This is clearly the system wiping us out! It's going to freeze all of us players to death!"
