Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

(Note: The partner teams mentioned below are only temporary and will be canceled after the event ends. Please read with confidence.)

[Mist Announcement]

The next seven days will be characterized by the midnight sun.

During the polar day mode, there will be an extremely low temperature period lasting eight hours, after which the temperature will begin to rise.

Seven days later, a second shelter rating will be conducted, and rewards will be distributed according to the rankings.

This rating uses a two-shelter rating model, meaning two shelters are grouped together, and the final ranking will be based on the overall strength of both shelters.

To ensure the smooth progress of this dual-person shelter rating activity, a partnership agreement is hereby issued.

[Partner Agreement: This agreement can only be formed between two shelters. Once formed, the shelter owners are allies and cannot harm each other (this effect will only last until the shelter rating ends)].

[After the rating event concludes, a three-day period of extreme night will begin.]

Under the polar night, wild beasts become exceptionally ferocious.

Please protect your shelter and your friends.

[P.S.: The rewards for this two-person shelter rating event will be exceptionally generous.]

The sound stopped abruptly, a white light flashed, and a scroll appeared in Mo Ming's hand.

This is... a partnership agreement!

Unrolling the scroll, Mo Ming read it carefully. The content was simple, the central idea being that the two parties signing the agreement should not harm each other.

Furthermore, each agreement can only be signed by one person.

Moreover, the effect only lasts for seven days, after which it will return to normal.

Looking at the agreement in his hand, Mo Ming was still a little caught off guard.

What are you doing?

We just received a temporary notice and haven't even fully adjusted yet, and now we have this mysterious announcement. What's wrong with us? Do you really not treat us like human beings?

Mo Ming was somewhat surprised, as the two changes were made in such a short period of time, which was quite different from the past.

Could it be that the mastermind behind this is fighting amongst themselves?

Or is some major event about to occur?

Forget it, who cares! I just need to focus on living my own life.

Mo Ming extracted several key points from the fog of war announcement:

Seven days of polar daylight, super low temperatures

Two people traveling together, partnership agreement

Three days of polar night, wild beasts rage.

In other words, in chronological order, the next thing to consider is finding a reliable teammate to sign a partnership agreement.

Then, within seven days, try to increase the strength of your own and your partner's shelter as much as possible.

After receiving the generous rewards, participate in another monster siege event in a berserk state.

Mo Ming's first choice was Liu Heng, a good person with strong abilities.

However, considering that he would probably be with his wife, Mo Ming did not contact him.

That leaves only one decent candidate.

Mo Ming was pondering his next steps when the video call notification suddenly went off.

Without even thinking, Mo Ming knew who it was.

"Mo Ming, Mo Ming, did you hear the Fog Announcement? Did you hear it?"

"I'm not deaf."

"So? What are your thoughts?"

"The most urgent task is to find a reliable teammate."

"Great minds think alike, no, it's beautiful women, no, anyway, we're on the same page."

"..."

"Has anyone asked you to sign anything?" Song Yufei seemed a little nervous, but still acted as if she didn't care.

"Yes, I have!"

"Huh? Someone actually asked you to sign something? Who's so blind?" Song Yufei said sourly, seemingly unconcerned, but actually feeling even more nervous inside.

It's not that no one has asked her to sign; she added some friends when trading goods before, but she didn't have a good impression of those people after communicating with them.

They were either unreliable or lustful.

Overall, Mo Ming felt more reliable to her, and she felt very comfortable and at ease when she was with him.

Now that people are also asking Mo Ming to sign his contract, she's getting a little nervous. She's afraid that the only person she feels she can rely on will be "snatched away" by someone else.

"Isn't she being sarcastic right here?"

"Huh?" Song Yufei didn't react for a moment, but she quickly understood what Mo Ming meant.

All the tension and unease in my heart vanished in an instant.

"Who wants to see you? You're just being presumptuous."

"Oh, okay then, I'll go ask someone else!" Mo Ming couldn't help but chuckle at her insincere expression.

"No."

"Oh?"

"What I mean is, if no one is asking you, it means they don't want to sign with you. Wouldn't it be awkward if you went to ask them again?"

"What should we do then?" Mo Ming knew how proud and arrogant this girl was, so he simply let her go along with it.

"Since you've asked so sincerely, then I'll be merciful and help you out. Let's sign."

"Oh!"

"oh!?"

"Hahahaha, I can't hold it in anymore, I really can't take it anymore, hahahaha..."

Seeing Mo Ming's expression, Song Yufei immediately realized that this scoundrel was playing her for a fool.

"Ugh, you stinky Mo Ming, you tricked me! I'll fight you to the death!"

"Hahaha, who told you to be so arrogant? You clearly wanted my autograph, but you pretended. Hahaha, how does it feel to feel so sour?"

"Humph!"

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to dinner later."

"That's pretty much it."

After their bickering, the two took out a partnership agreement and signed it using their wristbands.

"Little girl, how many resources do you need to upgrade your shelter to level four?"

"As for my side, the timber is a bit lacking, probably around 25,000 units, but the stone is basically enough."

"What?! You've collected 40000 units of stone?"

"Hehe, didn't expect that, did you? This girl has a secret weapon that makes collecting stones very convenient!"

"Another secret weapon? How do you have so many secrets?"

"Hmph! Now you know how outstanding I am!"

"Um, what about the others?"

"As for the other levels... I estimate they can be upgraded to Emerald Green before the rating is finalized."

This is basically the same as what Mo Ming thought.

"I only have four emerald-level pets; I doubt I can get any deep blue-level ones."

"That's about it."

Seeing that Song Yufei didn't mention the shelter upgrade scroll, Mo Ming felt a surge of self-satisfaction. It seemed that he wasn't the only one who overlooked the shelter upgrade scroll!

"Yes, I understand. I'm short about 10,000 units of timber and stone as well."

Its own level is similar to yours, and it's estimated that it can be upgraded to Emerald level before the rating.

You know about the pet; it's a Deep Blue-level one.

As for the shelter upgrade scrolls, keep an eye on the Mist Shop and see if you can snag a couple.

Resource boxes and hunting drop rates are unpredictable; you can't put all your hopes on them.

Song Yufei tilted her head slightly, "Two?"

"...?"

"One is enough. I remember I had one of those."

"Nani?"
