["What?"], Player C sent three shocked emojis in a row, ["The sun won't come out for three days? Then even if I don't starve to death, I'll probably freeze to death!"]
["What do we do? What do we do?"]
Player D sent three crying emojis, ["But I haven't prepared anything! My firewood probably won't even last until tomorrow. Am I really going to freeze to death here? I don't want to, I just got engaged, sob~ sob~"]
["Rather than dying like this for no reason, I might as well just go become a resident under the Lord of Region 7,"] Player E lamented, ["At least the residents in Region 7 live way better than I do! They not only have thick warm clothes, they even have meat to eat. Living like this, I might as well be dead."]
["Hey, think it through."]
Player F quickly tried to persuade him, ["You have to know that although life right now isn't great, at least you're still a conscious, normal person. If you really become a resident, you'll probably turn into an unconscious tool person. Basically a puppet on strings, doing whatever the Lord tells you to do."]
["You think I haven't looked into it?"], Player E said, ["I have a friend studying medicine who told me he's observed those residents. They don't seem like their memories were wiped at all. It's more like certain memories were suppressed. In other words, if there's a chance, they might be able to become themselves again."]
["But look at things now, I might not even survive until tomorrow."]
["Brother! Opportunities are for those who stay alive."]
["You really going to follow the Lord of Region 7?"] Player F @E, ["Count me in!"]
["I want to go too!",] Player A chimed in below, ["Rather than freezing to death here, it's better to just become a resident. When there's no other option, this might be the best choice!"]
["Count me in too!"]
["Me too! Our Lord doesn't even care about us anymore. I might as well pick a capable one."]
["Exactly, I agree with you. If we're going, let's form a group and go together."]
However, just as the players in the world channel were making plans, Shakun from Region 1 suddenly jumped out and said, ["I am General Shakun of Region 1. If you feel like you can't survive anymore, you can choose to come to Region 1 and follow me."]
["I am the Lord of Region 10, Chomu,"] Right after General Shakun spoke, Chomu immediately chimed in below, ["I have already formed an alliance with General Shakun, and I guarantee it with my character."]
["As long as you join our big family in Region 1 or Region 10, I will train you into the strongest warriors in the Mist World."]
["In this hellish place, becoming anyone's resident cannot guarantee safety. You might even end up as cannon fodder sent to the front lines by the Lord."]
["In that case, why not consider upgrading yourselves and becoming powerful warriors instead?"]
["Only when you yourself are strong enough do you truly have the qualification to survive."]
["Well said!"]
Shakun sent a string of clapping emojis, ["As long as you join the big family of Region 1, I, Shakun, guarantee that we'll eat together and fight together! As long as I have food, I won't let you go hungry. So everyone, feel free to choose!"]
["Hello everyone, I am the Lord of Region 3, Blake,"] Perhaps knowing that most players might not survive the polar night, these lords all seized the moment to jump out and recruit players like crazy, ["You might not know this, but I have already formed an alliance with the Lord of Region 4, Orin, and the Lord of Region 9, Duma."]
["Also! There's one more very important thing I forgot to mention."]
["The Lord of Region 9, Duma, has actually already become a mage. He plans to take in some talented residents as his disciples. So if you're considering which district to join, you should really consider us."]
["And I, Blake, guarantee that I will never be like certain district lords who are hypocritical."]
["From the very beginning, ordering soldiers to die and clear the way, yet not trusting their own soldiers at all. Even insisting on opening every treasure chest themselves, afraid their own soldiers might steal something."]
["So when you make your choice, you really need to think it through carefully."]
["Blake, what do you mean by that?"], Shakun, having been targeted, immediately became furious and retorted, ["Are you insulting me? When did I ever send my soldiers to their deaths? Stop talking nonsense!"]
["Did I name you?"], Blake shot back, ["If you want to take it personally, there's nothing I can do about that."]
["You!"]
Shakun was enraged.
But the Lord of Region 10, Chomu, spoke up to stop Shakun, ["General Shakun, when we're strong, naturally others will be jealous! Why bother lowering yourself to argue with someone who only knows how to bark nonsense?"]
["No matter how capable people in those districts are at protecting themselves, in the end, no one can train residents into real warriors as easily as I can."]
["Even the Lord of Region 9, Duma, is nothing more than a magic apprentice."]
["With that little bit of magic, maybe you can barely survive fighting monsters. But if you really want to teach others, you're still far from qualified."]
After saying that, Lord Chomu of Region 10 even posted a short video.
In the video, twenty heavily muscled residents wielding large blades were wildly dancing across the snow.
As their blades moved, the snow was whipped up into swirling snow tornadoes.
And those snow gallbladders buried deep in the snow were all swept up by the snow tornadoes, then caught by several other residents holding large nets nearby.
Before long, those residents had actually gathered quite a number of ice gallbladders.
["Wow!"]
Player D exclaimed, ["Is this the combat power after becoming a warrior? That's insane, so cool!"]
["Just now I was thinking of going to Region 7 to be a freeloader, but now I need to reconsider,"] Player E said, ["Maybe Lord Chomu of Region 10 is right. In this world, the only way to preserve yourself is to become stronger. Joining Lord Chomu's camp might not be a bad choice."]
["Count me in, I'm going too!"]
["Me too!"]
After watching the video, the players immediately began changing their minds again.
And Blake of Region 3 naturally wasn't willing to fall behind. He quickly posted a video as well.
[Video: A young man with completely red hair. As he mutters incantations, a ball of flame appears in his hand. Then he shoots it at a wooden table in the snow, and the table instantly explodes into pieces.]
["I won't waste words,"] Blake of Region 3 said, ["Both Lord Duma and I specialize in magic. As for whether magic or warriors are stronger in combat, I won't say it. You can judge for yourselves."]
["And for those players considering which district to join, you might not know that the Lord of Region 4, Orin, who's allied with us, is the young sect leader of Azure City Sect, right?"]
["If you just want to learn basic sword techniques, Young Sect Leader Orin can definitely teach you more than enough."]
["And they're real combat techniques, unlike certain people who only know a few little tricks for catching ice gallbladders, yet still have the nerve to call themselves warriors. It's honestly laughable."]
"..."
[World Channel]+999
Ethan had just sat down and opened his magic book when he saw the world channel had suddenly refreshed to 999 messages in the blink of an eye. He was completely stunned.
'What the hell are they even talking about?'
Only after opening the world channel did Ethan finally understand. With the polar night crisis approaching, all sorts of monsters and demons had come out to fight over people.
'But… with these trash tactics, do you really think you can compete with me, the greatest humble-bragger, ethan?'
