Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1615: Chapter 193: Brother, I Understand Your Pain Now

Aesces gave up on competing with Hill; he realized that as they got more acquainted, this personified Earth Bear didn’t leave him any face.

He quietly slinked away, leaving behind the aurora slowly turning green.

And, Hill with a twitching mouth, his face shifting unpredictably under the green light... aurora sure looks nice, but standing in the brightest green light is definitely not as comfortable as outsiders think.

Especially since before he reincarnated, the next line of ’Love is a beam of light’ already had new words.

Hill walked silently back to the Magic Tower, instructing Purwell to set up the thickest, most light-blocking curtains, deciding not to go to the terrace to view the scenery for a while.

Originally, the ever-changing clouds were quite beautiful, but now they’re all just a patch of green.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ was quite pleased.

He finally discovered that with the full cooperation of the World Master, he could practically scheme against the entire world!

No matter what he asked Aesces, he could quickly tell ’Snow Cloud Peak’ the results... terrain and landforms, cultural environment, even the continental slope underwater.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ chuckled as he held the tablet, his expression overly mysterious, causing ’Hard Wind’ climbing into the tower’s main hall to turn around: ”Let’s come back later! Old Dog is in heat.”

”Get out!” He was abruptly pushed aside, two figures agilely jumped up the stairs, one tall, one short.

”Tsk, that’s clearly scheming,” ’Old Age Striking King’ grumbled, ”Even though both the in-heat and intense expressions are ugly, they’re not the same!

How can you not know how to use adjectives! What kind of advertising company do you run, how come it still...”

”Hey~ I say, Elder, that’s enough talking,” ’Cunlü’ pat her little shoulder, ”Consider my feelings~ he still has to feed his family!”

’Old Age Striking King’ silently patted her lips, fingers waving to gesture flying away.

”What are you guys here for?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ grumpily put down the tablet, eyeing the troublemakers sitting by the open window.

”Ellie.” ’Hard Wind’ said straightforwardly, ”We’re about to become fish bait; we haven’t even gotten into the sea, and the Sea Monsters are popping up like dumplings.

Those things might give experience points, but they’re too tiring to fight, and when you do, it’s for a whole day.

You see, the Old Age aside, I’m never online for 24 hours straight!”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ patted his forehead, ”Requesting a training ground isn’t a problem; when the third batch arrives, they’ll need an elementary stage training area.

But...”

He squinted and smiled, ”You guys can’t just stay in the training area! Cunlü can go out randomly, but she must go.”

”Okay!” ’Cunlü’ nodded cheerfully, ”Actually, the Sea Monsters’ experience is pretty good; if it weren’t for my family time, I’d be willing to go over.

Honestly, every Sea Monster targets me... even if I don’t kill them, I get a share of the experience points.

I’m half a level higher than Hard Wind!”

”Let her mess around outside the valley like that?” ’Old Age Striking King’ asked puzzled, ”Though we’re glad there are plenty of experience packs, the military exploits are low!

The world’s level cap is so low, what do we do when we reach the top?

We planned to go to the Deserts, but... I suppose you’re not planning to move, right?”

”These are local creatures turned evil, naturally no military exploits.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ laughed, ”So, you need to cooperate with Cunlü and presence.

Soon it’ll be fine.”

He projected a winding map on the tablet, ”Once I figure out this map, then it’s ready... hey~ hailstones won’t be less than the Moon Clan.”

”Now it’s a drought, there were no hailstones to begin with.” ’Hard Wind’ said gloomily.

”You don’t understand metaphors?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ retorted sarcastically, ”No wonder Elder says you’re not proficient in business.”

”What’s this thing?” ’Old Age Striking King’ tilted her head and looked for a long time, ”Continental slope? Is it the adjacent continental slopes? Hmm... judging by the trend, underwater?”

”You got that right, Elder; it’s a relief you haven’t forgotten what you learned all these years.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ couldn’t help but praise with a thumbs up, ”So tell me, in this crevice, which place is most likely to hide a gigantic decomposed body... and not be uncovered by the ocean currents?

Right, it should be hidden so perfectly that even the Ocean Master can’t notice it unless they’re right in front of it.”

”Why don’t you choose a small eddy!” ’Old Age Striking King’ said, head back, ”It’s just those that only flow clockwise or counterclockwise in a small area.

This type of ocean shape generally introduces many small whirlpools nearby.

Not huge, but treacherous; a big ship is unaffected, but a small ship gets swallowed right up.”

”Hmm...” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ took back the tablet, eyebrows furrowed... could Aesces distinguish such surprises?

Though that World Master claimed water is water, the sea floor is the sea floor, and continental slopes are surely within his control, past experiences still made him skeptical.

Aesces seemed to sense his ally’s skepticism.

Almost instantly, he projected 30-odd so-called small eddy zones onto ’Snow Cloud Peak’s tablet.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ pondered over the map for a while, suddenly calling over a group of people: ’Mobi Chenxin’, ’Lu Huayu’, and although recently inactive, actually being present all along with a name change, ’Fenmo Wuxin’.

She may have given up on chasing Ink Brush, but not her game account and long-term friends.

Also, ’Susu’, ’Qiuqiu’, and a few other trustworthy female managers from the families.

When everyone was assembled, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ seriously told them: ”See those numbers on my projections?

Look carefully, you each have half an hour for thinking, then draw out three places you think are the safest.

Then, Ink Brush and Chalk, you two, try to select one more with a Paintbrush’s thought process.

Road Eunuch, if it were Ambori, where do you think she’d choose?

No need for precision, just choose three based on your instinct!”

Half an hour later, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ circled everyone’s choices using different color frames on his map.

”Hmm?”

”Why there?”

”Do you understand what hidden means? Isn’t that the dead center?”

”My goodness... just a few people, and they chose over 20 places!”

’Snow Cloud Peak’ inspected the map seriously... the places everyone abandoned were mostly near human habitation.

This was understandable; the world had always been dry, not to the current severe disaster level, so any acceptable coastal area was inhabited by humans.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ finally focused on a few circles, including Black and White Path’s two people, and Road Eunuch’s choices, in another thought-representing color.

Along with those choices was ’Old Age Striking King’s’ pink mark.

He pondered for a while and finally picked three places... two had the most circles and one chosen by Chalk and Road Eunuch, ’Old Age Striking King’, and ’Cunlü’.

”Four underwater volcanoes... a bit bigger, that’s fine, right?” He hesitated to ask the World Master... only to receive the assurance that even thirty volcanic eruptions together weren’t a problem.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ couldn’t resist rolling his eyes, ”We’re trying to manipulate Triton into joining us as we wish, not provoke him to partner with the opponents against us!

His side can designate Sea Monsters as military exploit targets! Can you just...”

Then he ate back the accusation on his lips, ”Please, Aesces, kindly ensure those four volcanoes erupt simultaneously, absolutely no sequence.”

After Aesces agreed and left the tablet, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ slowly slid off the sofa, speaking with the most exhausted tone: ”Ah~ my dear Sister Jasmine, thank you for your refreshing aroma.

Otherwise, I’d really have lost my temper.”

Getting along these days has made him utterly comprehend why even the good-tempered Hill would curse when mentioning this Aesces.

Damn it, stubborn.

Without speaking clearly, no, without speaking thoroughly, Aesces can’t understand... although he’s cooperative, he’s also thorough!

He glanced at ’Hard Wind’ dazedly: ”Brother, I truly feel your pain.”
