Chapter 992: Chapter 992 Ice Queen 3

Regardless of whether the other party was sincere or pretentious, Chang Weicai had temporarily reached a cooperation with them. Now, the top priority for the four people was to find a way to make fire to ensure they wouldn’t freeze to death.

Each unpacked their backpack to see if there were any useful supplies.

Because they had prepared before entering the game, the items they brought weren’t much different, mainly compressed biscuits, drinking water, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, water bottles, flashlights, binoculars, etc. They also had lighters and matches for making fire.

But if they wanted to grow flowers, at least two problems had to be tackled: one was fresh water, and the other was soil.

These two items were exactly what they were most lacking.

Professor Chang expressed his dilemma: "If it’s the seedling stage, using wet tissue paper would do, but once the flower saplings grow larger..."

"Couldn’t we just use hydroponics?" the bearded man asked.

"That would be troublesome with containers..." Chang Weicai gestured with his hands, "The roots of plants are very strong. Once the saplings grow, just using our drinking cups, which are too narrow and small and not breathable, wouldn’t be sufficient."

The man with a crew cut said, "Didn’t she just say she had a Rose Garden? There should be soil there, right? Otherwise, it’s too challenging for us—we can’t possibly grow flowers in ice chunks."

"Let’s look around," the bearded man suggested, "to see if there are other exits, or stairs or something."

They put down their luggage and scattered to search for the garden.

Since the game required them to plant flowers, it’s likely that there wouldn’t be any other dangers in this castle, aside from the unbearable low temperatures. Thus, everyone was relatively relaxed.

Soon, they discovered stairs leading to the upper levels on both the east and west sides. The stairs weren’t especially hidden, but the ice walls all around were like mirrors, creating visual blind spots, which was why they didn’t find them initially.

Reaching the second floor, they were met with a crystal-clear corridor and more stairs.

The castle was like a huge cake, layered and ascendant, getting colder as one went higher, with the biting wind blowing through windows, tightening their faces and freezing their bones.

They didn’t find the so-called garden, but they made another discovery.

"Is that a building over there? ...Hey, who has binoculars, come take a look!"

"It seems real... indeed there are buildings, and even streets. How can there be such things above the sea? Is it an island?"

"It’s not an island; I even see overpasses! There are no overpasses built directly over the sea!"

"...How did a city end up on the sea?"

They discussed among themselves.

Chang Weicai stood in front of the window, straining through the binoculars, barely discerning the shadow of a city through the blizzard.

The bearded man beside him said, "Take a closer look. It’s not that the city is in the wrong place, but rather this castle, along with this sea area, that’s in the wrong place. It’s as if a sea suddenly appeared in the middle of a city."

The man with the crew cut said, "Hey, why care about that so much. Now that there are buildings and streets, it means we can find supplies! Let’s hurry, she’ll be back in 6 hours!"

"With such a heavy blizzard, if we go out looking for supplies... won’t we freeze to death?" the short man asked hesitantly.

The bearded man glanced at him, "Then let’s leave one person to watch the luggage. Eric, you stay behind; Ed will come with me to find supplies."

The short man heaved a sigh of relief and quickly nodded, as he was dressed fairly lightly and couldn’t withstand the cold and snow outside.

Chang Weicai rummaged through his baggage and pulled out a knitted hat, putting it on thoughtfully, then emptied his backpack to only carry the essentials like water and a flashlight, getting ready to leave.

The crew-cut man eyed Chang Weicai for moments, then sidled up to the bearded man and whispered, "Once we get outside, should we take the chance to..."

The bearded man glanced at Chang Weicai not far away and replied in a low voice, "No rush. We barely know anything about flower cultivation. Let’s keep the old man until the flowers are grown, then we’ll find an opportunity to deal with him."

The man with the crew cut’s eyes brightened, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Good."
