When the Polar Night faded, players sward out of the dormitory building to search for supplies.
They discovered that the probability of supplies appearing this ti was even smaller!
Many people began to speculate.
Perhaps the Polar Night wasn't within the refresh ti, so supplies wouldn't refresh, or maybe there really were looting Frost Ghosts that didn't leave, taking everything during the Polar Night environnt—this was the dormitory's blatant open sche!
In any case, opinions varied, and so were even shouting about forming teams to go out during tomorrow's Polar Night.
...
As one of the biggest beneficiaries of the "Item Disappearance Incident," Xu Lang naturally profited imnsely.
At this mont, he was in the study, ignoring the turbulent changes in the chat room, and focusing on practicing the Dragon Elephant Combat thod.
His fist techniques roared through the air with vigor. As he practiced to the later stages, one of his elbows sliced through the air creating a sonic whistle, then he withdrew his energy.

"Keeping up this kind of training is a bit exhausting too; I need to balance work and rest." Xu Lang murmured to himself. Feeling he still had a bit of stamina left, he inexplicably opened his chat history with Ye Fan.
Hmm... one against four, gotta say there's still so pressure. During the last few tis near the end, I felt my heart beating a bit fast.
"Should I give it a try?"
With this thought, Xu Lang began working out.
Click~
The more he did, the more energetic he beca. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a door opening nearby.
Cao Yaxuan's exquisitely beautiful face peeked in, her expression instantly turning peculiar.
What was Xu Lang doing? Interrogating an invisible female agent?
"Is there sothing you need?" Xu Lang stood up unhurriedly and said calmly.
Cao Yaxuan studied Xu Lang for a mont. Seeing his expression was normal, she spoke: "Huihui found Haagen-Dazs in the cafeteria and gave us so. Would you like so?"
"Eating ice cream in such cold weather?" Xu Lang wiped his sweat and said casually.
"It's delicious!" Cao Yaxuan pouted.
Xu Lang nodded and walked out of the study. His eyes fell upon several won sitting around a small table. Next to them was a small fire pit built from bricks, with wood burning fiercely inside.
"Lang Ge, try it quickly!" Tong Qi pattered over to Xu Lang and handed an ice cream cone covered in chocolate crumbs to his mouth.
Xu Lang bit off the chocolate ball on top in one bite, and his face imdiately contorted.
So damn cold!
"How is it? Isn't it delicious!" Tong Qi said happily: "We made this ourselves!"
Xu Lang kept puffing out cold air: "It's delicious, but just too cold."
"Who told you to eat so much at once!" Cao Yaxuan snorted.
"You made these yourselves?" Xu Lang's gaze swept over the small table, seeing cones, ice cream, mint leaves, and chocolate.
"Yes!" Tong Qi nodded.
Cao Yaxuan smiled: "Tong Qi's ghost pet helped too."
During their usual free ti, Tong Qi would summon her ghost pet to handle small tasks. This made controlling it later feel more natural and effortless, like using her own arm.
"This awful weather, who knows when it will return to normal." Sherry suddenly sighed.
Even while warming herself by the fire, she still felt threads of cold.
"Of course when the ga ends." Cao Yaxuan gave the answer everyone knew. She sat on the stool, her palms absorbing the fire's warmth, her eyes flickering between light and shadow. She inexplicably thought of many distant mories and suddenly sighed: "I wonder how father and the others are doing... I miss them so much."
These words left the other won sowhat silent.
Except for Sherry.
She always maintained extrely high enthusiasm for the Dorm Survival Ga.
"Don't be sad, Yaxuan. As long as we survive, we will definitely find a way to leave this ga." Sherly smiled faintly to comfort her.
"But I'm just sad. I don't know what aning there is in living like this..."
"People live just to live. There's no inherent aning, just like ocean waves and sunlight—they are part of nature!" Xu Lang said, wagging his finger: "Saying sothing like that is like claiming your previous life had aning."
Cao Yaxuan was imdiately left speechless, but she also felt there was so truth to what Xu Lang said.
People are going to die anyway.

[Total Nightmare Coins: 3168]
"Nightmare Coins have finally broken three thousand!"
A glint of light flashed in Xu Lang's eyes. He quietly got up to wash up.
By the ti he returned to the living room, he saw Sherry and the others were still asleep, so he started cooking.
There was still one hour until the ga started. After eating, he could elevate himself to peak condition.
Xu Lang felt this life rhythm was just right.
Not long after, Sherry and the others woke up one after another. Only Cao Yaxuan was still sleeping.
"Still minus thirty degrees. I wonder if there will be any announcent at six o'clock." The first thing Wang Yazhi did after getting out of bed was check the thermoter.
"If the temperature drops further, people will really freeze to death. The price of cold-proof supplies on the Trading Network has already quadrupled." Tong Qi was slightly worried.
"Food's ready! There's chicken soup today. Go wash up quickly." Xu Lang carried a small clay pot to the dining table and said to the won.
While Tong Qi and the others went to wash up, Xu Lang saw Cao Yaxuan was still sleeping, so he walked over and pinched her butt.
"Ouch!" Cao Yaxuan turned over and woke up: "I want to sleep today, I don't want to move."
In idol groups, there's a center position. She usually filled that role, so it was normal for her to be more tired.
"Suit yourself." Seeing this, Xu Lang didn't insist. He turned around to light the small fire pit, raising the room's temperature.
Even though dry wood was quite expensive now, Xu Lang's household could definitely afford it.
Put it this way: as long as Xu Lang didn't intentionally create a Blood Grudge to attract monsters, no player could outlast him.
During the al, footsteps and conversations ca from the corridor. Wu Huihui and the others were returning to their dorm rooms one after another.
"Hisss~ So cold, Sister Huihui!"
"I hope it doesn't get any colder; I really can't take it!"
"Let's get ho quickly. I have two sets of cotton quilts at my place!"
"Whoa, Xiao Yan, you've struck it rich!"
"Money doesn't matter; being able to survive is more important than anything."
"Hehe, that's true. But Xiao Yan, if I get too cold, can I hide at your place for an hour?"
"Sure."
"..."
Ten minutes before the ga started, Xu Lang entered a ditation state until the Dormitory Broadcast woke him up.
