Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 106, Lin Chenguang Seeks a Deal

Before long, the scorching heat seemed to have dried up every last drop of moisture from her body. Lin Yue felt difficulty breathing; each breath felt like a sharp knife scraping her throat, causing her excruciating pain.

Not only that, under the scorching heat, Lin Yue's sweat poured out like a fountain, quickly soaking her clothes. The intense surrounding temperature, like a natural oven, dried the sweat in the blink of an eye.

And so it went, getting wet and drying, drying and getting wet again, several times in a row, until a thin, hard crust formed on her clothes. It was hard and uncomfortable against her skin, and it had a burnt smell from being baked at high temperatures.

The fire-resistant stone and ice peas that could barely protect Lin Yue on the ground became almost ineffective under the heat of the volcanic lava.

Lin Yue only stayed still for a few seconds before she felt her whole body gradually losing sensation, starting with her hands and feet, and then slowly spreading to other parts of her body.

A sense of fear gripped her, but she gritted her teeth and flapped her wings with all her might, trying to rise and escape this terrifying place as quickly as possible. But to her despair, no matter how hard she tried, even when her wings reached the top of the rock wall above, she couldn't find the crack from which she had fallen. It was as if she hadn't fallen from a mountain into its belly, but had been transported directly to another dimension.

Lin Yue didn't care about anything else at this moment and quickly took out all the fire-resistant stones she had on her body and slapped them all onto the Cloud Feather Armor. Unfortunately, she could only feel a brief coolness for a moment during the fusion, and it quickly lost its effect.

That's true. It's said that the temperature of magma can reach over a thousand degrees Celsius. The effect of the Flame-Avoiding Stone in reducing the temperature by ten degrees is negligible compared to the high temperature here.

Lin Yue felt a sense of despair, but sitting idly by and waiting to die was not her style. Therefore, she desperately flew towards the place furthest from the lava while stuffing handfuls of ice peas into her mouth.

These ice peas melted into water almost instantly upon entering the mouth, turning into hot water by the time they were swallowed—the taste was incredibly strange. Even so, Lin Yue dared not stop drinking water; in this environment, dehydration was deadly.

Besides the ice peas, the mineral water bottles would melt instantly from the surrounding high temperature the moment they were taken out, rendering them completely useless.

None of these are the most important things. What's worse is that the Sky Wings have a time limit. Once she falls, all her efforts will be in vain!

As time ticked by, Lin Yue felt like a roast duck being roasted over a fire, her life slowly counting down to its end!

Just as Lin Yue was mechanically stuffing iced peas into her mouth, her mind becoming hazy from the intense heat, her bracelet screen suddenly unfolded automatically.

Just moments ago, Lin Yue's bracelet had been ringing for a long time, but she was too preoccupied with her current predicament to pay attention. After a long period of no response, the bracelet seemed to have had enough and turned on by itself.

At this moment, Lin Yue's entire body was scorched by the volcanic lava, leaving her almost completely devoid of strength and consciousness. Only the bracelet and screen remained unaffected by the terrifying heat around her.

Lin Yue squinted and stared at the screen for a long time before realizing that it was a message sent to her by Lin Chenguang.

Lin Chenguang: "Lin Yue, do you have the 13th fragment of the treasure map?"

Lin Chenguang seemed very anxious. After waiting for a while, probably seeing that Lin Yue hadn't replied, he added, "If you have it, sell it to me, and I'll exchange it for a high price!"

Lin Yue naturally couldn't reply at the time. Lin Chenguang waited for a long time, probably because he couldn't find it anywhere else, so he came back and continued to send messages to Lin Yue.

Lin Chenguang: "[Teleportation Talisman.jpg] Lin Yue, I'll trade this to you. It can randomly teleport you to a range of 100 kilometers. How about that? Is that enough sincerity?"

When Lin Yue saw the teleportation talisman, her eyes lit up immediately, and a surge of hope welled up in her heart. With this thing, could she escape this lava hell?

However, Lin Chenguang had already posted quite a few, so Lin Yue quickly sped up her reading.

Perhaps seeing that she still hadn't replied, Lin Chenguang's patience seemed to be wearing thin, and he quickly sent another message:

Lin Chenguang: "Lin Yue, don't push your luck!"

Lin Chenguang: "Do you think you're the only one who has it?"

Lin Chenguang: "..."

Lin Chenguang: "Okay, okay, I'll add another [top-grade fertilizer.jpg], is that enough? The land that's been sprayed with it can evolve into top-grade land, increasing plant growth speed tenfold."

The appearance of that top-grade fertilizer startled Lin Yue. In a high-altitude survival game where food is scarce, this stuff sounds incredibly precious. Under normal circumstances, it would drive countless players crazy.

After a moment, Lin Chenguang said, "[xxxx.jpg] Is this alright now?"

Lin Chenguang: "[xxx.jpg]?"

Looking at all these diverse and rare items, none of which she had ever heard of, Lin Yue was overwhelmed with questions. Where did Lin Chenguang get so many rare resources? And was that treasure map fragment really that important? So important that he was willing to exchange so many valuable things for it?

Stimulated by these supplies, Lin Yue's mind began to race. As she scrolled down, she constantly weighed how this unexpected transaction would help her current predicament.

Finally, Lin Chenguang seemed to have reached the breaking point. Unable to bear it any longer, he finally unleashed his ultimate move.

Lin Chenguang: "Lin Yue! Okay, okay! You're very good! I'll trade you a fragment, alright? You can't possibly not like this one, right?! Which piece do you want?"

His words were full of exasperation, as if Lin Yue were incredibly greedy.

However, since her brief silence had prompted the other party to keep raising the price, Lin Yue simply stopped rushing to reply.

Lin Chenguang: "Lin Yue, you'd better know when to stop."

Lin Chenguang: "I'm not like you. If you really care about the good of this world, you should give me the fragment!"

Lin Chenguang: "..."

For the sake of this world? To be different from oneself?

These seemingly righteous words somehow reminded Lin Yue of Zhao Yuxuan, causing her to frown in annoyance.
