The cold snowflakes hit his body as the cold wind pierced his bones. Snow and ice piled up on his body, going higher and higher before melting again.

This cycle repeated over and over again day and night.

After an unknown amount of time.

A warm ray of sunlight rose from the east. The morning sun shone on his face, and a cool warmth rose in his heart.

The unconscious Chen Fann slowly opened his eyes.

I’m not dead yet?

This was the first thought that flashed through Chen Fann’s mind.

“Congratulations to the host for withstanding the poison corrosion of the Mountain Gnome and obtaining a new ability, Decay Poison.”

I really didn’t die? Furthermore, I obtained a new ability?

Chen Fann was a little surprised. He quickly looked at the thigh that was cut by the poisonous metal.

Before he fainted, he felt that his thigh was rotting. Now, there was just a hole left in his pants, and his skin was intact. Under the warm sun and snow, it looked especially white and tender, as if a blow would break it.

What was going on?

Chen Fann, who was well aware of the system’s endowment and attribute protection rules, knew very well that the Rotten Poison’s patience was not given to him out of anywhere. It was because he withstood the corrosion of the Rotten Poison that he obtained this ability.

However, he fainted not long after he was wounded by the poisonous metal shot out by the Mountain Gnome. He did not even know how many days he had been unconscious. He did not know what had happened at all.

He opened the attribute panel and opened the Rotten Poison’s patience description.

Poison Resistance: Extraordinary Poison Resistance. The body has adapted to the corrosive poison. The body has an extremely high level of resistance against all corrosive poisons; even the venom of the extraordinary creature, Giant Demon, can’t destroy the body tissue.

“System, how long have I been unconscious?”

“[Ten days]”

“[How did I survive?]”

Although he didn’t know what had happened, the System definitely knew.

After the System’s explanation, Chen Fann finally understood the reason.

He had to admit that his luck this time was really too good!

He looked at the Ice Crystal Black Lotus beside him. The reason why he was not corroded was because of the Ice Crystal Black Lotus.

The lotus seeds that were formed by the Ice Crystal Black Lotus happened to land on the wound on his thigh. These lotus seeds condensed into ice crystals and created a demon mine that clashed with the corrosive poison of the Mountain Gnome.

The process taken by the lotus seed to form the ice-crystal demon mine canceled the corrosive power of the highly toxic metal. Thus, he wasn’t corroded, turning into a pool of blood in the end.

This could be said to be another way of fighting poison with poison.

It was just because he had withstood the toxic attack that he had gained the rotten poison patience. With the rotten poison’s patience ability, the wound that had been cut by the poison recovered to its original state.

“I didn’t expect that I would be saved by you in the end.”

Looking at the Ice Crystal Black Lotus beside him, Chen Fann sighed with emotion. He was the one who stepped on these Ice Crystal Black Lotuses to death, but in the end, it was the Ice Crystal Black Lotus that saved him.

In the end, it also allowed him to obtain the patience of the Corrosive Poison. With this ability, he would undoubtedly be safer when facing the Mountain Troll.

As the saying goes, misfortune relies on fortune, fortune hides behind misfortune. The ancient people were not to be trifled with.

Not only did he not die this time, but he also obtained an ability that could suppress the Mountain Troll.

Of course, there was also another reason, which was because he had the ability of hunger and patience, as well as ice and snow patience. These two abilities were indispensable.

If he did not have these two abilities, even if the Ice Crystal Black Lotus’s lotus seeds offset the corrosive poison, he would still starve to death after being in a coma for ten days without being able to eat. Otherwise, he would be frozen to death after sleeping in the snow for ten days.

So this time, even he couldn’t help but sigh. He was really lucky this time. If he didn’t have the patience to starve a month ago, he might have really died this time.

But no matter what, the Ice Crystal Black Lotus’s effect was definitely the greatest.

“Thank you.”

Chen Fann thanked the Ice Crystal Black Lotus in front of him. Although plants could not speak, he was a person who knew how to repay kindness with gratitude and grace.

So after saying his thanks, he stepped down.

The ice-crystal black lotus had not been dealt with yet. He must not let any ice-crystal black lotus go.

Although he had been unconscious for ten days, and no Mountain Gnome had come over, it meant that the Mountain Gnome might have really been killed by him, or it might not have fully awakened yet.

But no matter what the reason was, the Ice Crystal Black Lotus had to be dealt with cleanly!

He could not allow any mistakes to occur.

This time, it was because of his carelessness that he almost died in the hands of the weak Mountain Gnome.

Although he was lucky enough to survive and obtain the ability, it was indeed his negligence this time. It was also true that he had lost.

In this game of competing with the extraordinary creature, losing was death.

Next time, he might not have such good luck.

The Goddess of Fate would not always bless him.



After spending two days dealing with the Ice Crystal Black Lotus, Chen Fann returned to his usual routine – reading books all day.

At the same time, the blizzard that lasted for more than half a year finally stopped.

The sun rose into the sky once again. Warm rays of light sprinkled on the land, covering the world covered in silver with a layer of golden sand.

It was unknown if the heavens had heard his prayers.

This time, the weather was surprisingly normal.

It did not suddenly turn from winter to summer. There was no sun like a furnace that hung in the sky and roasted the earth. There was only the warm sunlight that slowly melted the ice and snow.

The ice and snow slowly melted. Winter passed and spring came. The branches that were crushed by the ice and snow regained their vitality. The tender green sprouts drilled out of the soil, and the earth was filled with fresh green.

Chen Fann seized the opportunity and started his potato planting business again. He wanted to store resources in advance for bad weather in the future.

Like this, the cycle repeated.

Time passed. Spring went and autumn came. Time alternated, day after day, year after year. Chen Fann repeated his dull and monotonous life every day.

From the initial conflict, despair, gradually adapting to it, to numbness, and finally, he almost lost the concept of time.

He only had one goal left in his heart.

That was to read books, read books and read books. He wanted to read a hundred thousand books!

It has to be said that human beings were a magical species. In an extremely desperate environment, as long as there was a goal, everything would be less hopeless.

Thus, there was once a Philosopher who said that humans with goals were happy.

In a way, Chen Fann could be considered to be happy.

Because at least in the process of chasing a goal, he could forget the passing of time.

If not for the System’s reminder, he wouldn’t have known that another ten years had passed.



Ten years later!
