Chapter 130
Chapter 130 Surviving the Cold
But how were the students in the seawater supposed to stay warm?
All the students started losing their HP at the same time.
Pastors tried to restore everyone’s HP, but that only fixed the symptom, not the cause. Not only that, as the extreme cold increased, their casting speed slowed down, and their hands and feet became frozen stiff.
On a piece of floating ice, Ivan grabbed a recovery potion and drank it as fast as he could.
But before he could even swallow, system text appeared in front of him.
“You are affected by severe cold. HP -1 p>
Damn it!
Ivan’s Undying Netherform was insanely powerful, but it had limits. After one hour, the undying state ended, leaving him with just 1 HP. To activate Undying Netherform again, he needed a three-hour cooldown.
The cold in this area was penetrating. His whole body was soaked in seawater, he had no insulation, and no shaman nearby to protect him. In the end, he was frozen to death by the icy wind.
Of course, he had a Substitute Scarecrow on him, but he naturally chose not to use it.
His luck had already been absurdly good. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely make it into the top ten.
Ivan withdrew from the assessment.
Others were suffering in their own ways as well.
“Buying warming supplies! Does anyone have hot water bottles or heat packs? Please, I’ll pay a high price p>
“Does anyone have extra coats? I’m freezing to death p>
“It’s so cold! Why doesn’t the Vitality points help against the cold p>
“Idiot. Vitality just improves physical fitness. Cold resistance needs fire spells or frost resistance p>
Joanna started selling items again.

“Water heating: 1,000 starcoins per bottle. You provide the water and the bottle. I’ll process it into hot water. Guaranteed to drive away the cold p>
Screw her! What a heartless merchant!
Others were selling hot water directly, but she was charging 1,000 just to heat the water?
“Boycott her! Everyone boycott her! Absolutely don’t buy from her p>
“Boycott her! Don’t buy her hot water p>
“I’m definitely not buying it p>
These people calling for a boycott had already been blocked by Joanna.
The first group of people who were quick to buy soon received the hot water. Then, they let out surprised shouts.
“Mineral Water Containing Flame Aura (Common): Contains a trace of Flame Aura. Emits light and heat continuously for one hour.
This heated water was special because Joanna had also obtained Alwyn’s talent, Eternal Sun.
It could continuously release heat or even burn enemies, but talents could be developed, so they didn’t have to be used only for attacking.
Just like how the Roseflare team’s wood mage could use vines to bind trees together to make a
wooden boat.
Naturally, Joanna could process hot water too.
With that, mineral water sales exploded.
“Joanna really didn’t lie. This is actually worth it p>
“It’s only 1,000. That’s very cheap. If we hold on for another hour, we get another 10 points p>
“If everyone gets 10 points, doesn’t that mean nobody actually gains an advantage p>
“Not necessarily. Some people can’t buy Joanna’s mineral water p>
Those who had cursed Joanna quickly discovered that they had been blocked and could no longer buy the water from her page.
“Ah, I was wrong! Joanna, please sell me a bottle of mineral water! Otherwise, I’m going to freeze to death. This cross-stellar trial is very important to me. I’m begging you p>

“I’ll add another 1,000 starcoins. Can someone help me buy a bottle of water p>
“There’s a purchase limit. Even if you add 10,000, I won’t sell p>
“It really wasn’t worth offending Joanna for your sake p>
Very soon, the group of students who had offended Joanna were the first to be knocked out.
Nighthowl took out an extra-large dining table, covered with rows and rows of mineral water. Joanna activated Eternal Sun and processed batches of mineral water, producing thousands of bottles at a time.
She was making money like crazy.
Even so, some students simply couldn’t hold on and were eliminated by the cold.
By the 12th hour, the temperature had dropped to -76°F.
That was comparable to polar levels of cold.
By the 13th hour, the temperature dropped to -130°F. Those with vitality points lower than 200 simply couldn’t survive this level of cold. They were frozen solid.
This time, a large number of mage-type players suffered.
Only 200,000 students were left.
d most of these 200,000 people were actually on the large fishing boats and cargo ships that nna had sold.
When a lot of people gathered together, they all had their own ways of coping. At the very least, if a ship could find a few fire mages, they could survive.
On one of the ships, a bonfire was already burning. A girl wearing a tribal skirt and a feathered headdress was dancing beside it.
“Shaman class: Salem Holloway p>
After she was separated from her teammates, she happened to see a ship. She paid 50,000 starcoins to get on board. Now, she was actually very useful. She started charging others fees and was making a fortune.
Because a shaman’s blessings could be activated through sacrificial materials, performing dances that granted different blessing effects.
