Chapter 1458 - 537: The Male Lead Gets Slapped in the Face (Part 1)
The turmoil in the outside world is a fluctuation of energy.
Ordinary people can’t detect it at all.
Only a very few individuals with high superpower levels or keen intuition can notice the anomaly.
Like Shen Aotian, the Heavenly Destiny Boy of this Small World.
"Huh? What’s happening? Why is there this weird feeling, as if something has been bound, yet as if something has broken free from its shackles!"
After parting with his cousin "Shen Hetian," Shen Aotian returned to his own home.
On the way, he suddenly felt the "turmoil" in the surrounding environment, but that feeling flashed and vanished.
Before he could study it carefully, it disappeared.
Shen Aotian could only have an indistinct feeling, unspeakable and unclear.
However, his intuition told him that it should be a good thing!
"A good thing? Hah, it’s the apocalypse now, coupled with the arrival of extremely cold weather, how could there be any ’good thing’?"
"As long as it’s not scorching hot weather tomorrow, that would already be a blessing!"
Shen Aotian thought to himself silently.
It’s not that he’s pessimistic, but there were similar plots written in some apocalypse novels—
During the apocalypse, not only are there zombies, but there are also extremely harsh weather changes.
For instance, four seasons become two, with six months of winter where temperatures easily drop to minus fifty or sixty degrees, and six months of summer with temperatures soaring to fifty or sixty degrees above zero!
Whether extremely cold or scorching hot, it’s basically leaving no way out for survivors.
And after such intense "survival of the fittest," the humans who survive open a new century through various trials and hardships.
Now, the extreme cold has arrived, is scorching heat far behind?
Shen Aotian pondered secretly, while his mind involuntarily started planning on whom he should trade with in the different dimensions to purchase some resources!
He Tiantian doesn’t know the situation on the male lead’s side, nor does she care.
Her principle has always been not to get too involved with the male and female leads. This time chasing the male lead and trying to speculate his whereabouts was merely to locate the virus.
Now, the virus has been found and even swallowed by her.
The male lead stuff, for her, is not very important anymore.
"But, the taste of this Dark Energy is truly awful!"
After swallowing the virus, He Tiantian quickly operated the Wuji Technique.
Relying on Junior Master Uncle’s set of amazing Cultivation Techniques, He Tiantian successfully transformed the Dark Energy into the Spiritual Power she needed.
"Burp! Although the taste is bad, the quantity is large and satisfying!"
The key is, she successfully eradicated the virus, and her task is completed!
Sure enough, just after He Tiantian completely digested the virus, Student Xiao D’s broadcast sounded deep in the sea of consciousness—
"Ding, antivirus task completed, reward points: 12 points!"
Hmm?
That’s it?
This time, not to mention gratitude from the characters in the book world, there’s not even achievement points or rewards.
After a brief shock, He Tiantian quickly guessed the reason—
Though she timely eradicated the virus and saved the novel world,
it ultimately led to extreme cold weather because of her.
Due to a blizzard, with sudden temperatures dropping to minus fifty-two degrees, countless innocent survivors froze to death.
They might just be paper characters in the book, not even Sacrificial Lambs.
But in this novel world, they are living beings with blood, flesh, and soul.
Although He Tiantian wasn’t acting out of personal interest (she used Spiritual Spring Water more to trap and kill zombies), the innocent died because of her.
Readers, when seeing such plot, paired with the "Spiritual Spring Space" truth, feel somewhat dissatisfied with He Tiantian, the writer.
Although not to the extent of loathing, they won’t overly praise either.
Readers’ dissatisfaction means no achievement points nor rewards.
"Tiantian, actually it’s okay, not every time can you receive a reward."
Student Xiao D sensed He Tiantian’s low mood, quickly jumped out to comfort, "Our task is completed, that’s the most important thing."
A rescue task, if completed smoothly, is already very good.
What more do you want?
He Tiantian:...
She’s not one to pursue perfection, nor deliberately calculate achievement points and rewards.
But... alas, readers’ dissatisfaction is quite normal, He Tiantian can’t get over it herself either.
"Tiantian, task completed, let’s leave this Small World!"
Student Xiao D was unaware of He Tiantian’s decision, and asked eagerly.
If it were other backgrounds of a Small World, He Tiantian staying to continue the original life’s journey wouldn’t really matter.
