In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

White-haired wind? What is that?

The wind and snow raged, and the cold wind was biting.

Hongtang instinctively covered her face, but then Ha Ge fell to the ground with a thud, meowing pitifully as if protesting Hongtang's actions.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Ha." Hongtang quickly put Brother Ha into her spatial storage.

Seeing that the eight people were no longer around, she quickly entered her spatial dimension.

"Brother Ha, Daddy didn't mean to fall on you, don't be angry." Brother Ha was hurt badly from the fall and ignored Hongtang. Hongtang had to coax him for a while.

"Little sister, what is a white-haired wind?"

[Host, "whiteout" is a local weather term referring to strong winds, temperature drops, and snowfall. It is also known as 'blowing snow,' 'snowstorm,' or 'snow cannon.']

Oh, so it's a "big smoke cannon".

Hongtang had been to the north and seen snow, and had experienced this kind of weather once before. She was quite surprised at the time, and the locals called this kind of weather "big smoke cannons," which she found very vivid and interesting. She never expected it to be so dangerous today.

It's unclear whether those eight people were blown away by the "big smoke cannon" or not; they simply vanished without a trace, which is truly bizarre.

This sudden drop in temperature came so suddenly, without any warning, it could easily freeze someone to death. I wonder if Xue Li and Chen Qi will also encounter the heavy rain, and whether they can survive it.

Fortunately, he had left a heater for Xue Li, so she wouldn't freeze.

The snowstorm outside is too heavy to go out, so I'll just stay in this space for now. Anyway, the oil tanker is right here.

[Host, actually your spatial teleportation can take you directly to the seabed.] Knowing that Hongtang was looking for some kind of oil tanker this time, her younger sister kindly reminded her.

"Ahem, I also want to go straight down to the bottom of the sea, but I can't do it," Hongtang said dejectedly. She hadn't unlocked this skill yet.

Hongtang fiddled with her various equipment: diving suit, escape pod, kayak, and the seven infrastructure brothers—which one should she use?

Considering that she also possesses mutated ice energy, perhaps she wouldn't need any equipment at all; she could simply envelop herself in a large water sphere and descend directly to the seabed.

Her mind was racing, but her hands didn't stop moving. Her fingers slid across the trading system panel, her eyes quickly scanning the various messages.

Unfortunately, trading volume has been low lately, resulting in poor returns. She still has a large installment payment to make; we need to find out the reason.

Fortunately, it wasn't a quality issue with the fruits and vegetables. Most customers complained about the high prices, the lack of promotions, the inability to snag discounted items, and the slow response time for their messages.

Hongtang touched her nose; these problems weren't problems at all.

She wasn't willing to compromise on the high prices of her fruits and vegetables; good things should be sold at a higher price. She had already categorized her fruits and vegetables by quality, but it seemed that wasn't enough. So she decided to add more grades and widen the price difference.

As for promotions, we'll get them going, with small waves every three days and big waves every five days. That's her biggest concession yet.

Set a spending threshold, and offer different recipes or a complete guide to cooking methods as a gift when you reach a certain spending amount.

Finally, she left a message with feedback, but haha, she really didn't have time to deal with that. After all, her primary survival goal right now is to collect crystal cores.

However, taking advantage of her free time, she still managed to reply to some of the comments and accept some friend requests.

Oh, the beauty from the orc realm is among them too. She'd forgotten to add her as a friend, but the other person contacted her first. She quickly accepted.

Then there are all sorts of other planes, like the Martial Soul Plane, the Elemental Plane, the Magic Plane, and the War Plane. Hong Tang didn't have time to look at them in detail and quickly accepted the friend request. Anyway, none of them were familiar to her; she could learn more about them later when she had time.

After working busily for nearly two hours, Hongtang finally finished dealing with the matters on the trading system. Just in time for lunch, she enjoyed a delicious hot pot meal before deciding to venture out of her spatial dimension.

Entering the control room of the bridging robot, Hongtang manipulated the mecha, achieving perfect harmony between man and machine, and exited the space.

Oh my god, it's only been a short time since I've been outside, how did it become so dangerous outside!

Just as she flashed out of the space, Qiao Qiao's two big feet landed on ice spikes that were more than half a person tall. Fortunately, Qiao Qiao's mecha body was incredibly tough, and she crushed the dangerous ice spikes into powder in an instant.

Hongtang didn't expect this either.

She clearly sensed no danger outside the space, but unexpectedly, many icicles and ice cones of different sizes and sharpness appeared on the ground.

I felt as if I were standing in a world of ice cones, lonely and weak, as if I would be frozen at any moment and become one of these thousands of ice bodies.

But she was able to enter and exit the space from the same spot; these things weren't on the ground before.

Could it be the work of that strange white-haired wind that suddenly appeared before?

Luckily, I came out wearing a mecha suit, otherwise, if I hadn't dodged in time, it would have pierced my body.

Hongtang shuddered at her own thoughts.

Oh dear, it's really too dangerous outside.

"I'm sorry, Qiaoqiao, I scared you. I don't know what happened either. These icicles just appeared suddenly," Hongtang explained dryly, even though she knew Qiaoqiao didn't need it at all.

"Hehe, it's okay, I was just saying it offhand, Tangtang, don't mind it. These sparkly icicles are actually quite pretty, especially the feeling of stepping on them—they're so crunchy and make such a wonderful sound. If I could have a patch of ice like this, I could walk on it and play with it whenever I wanted; I'd be laughing in my sleep!" Qiao Qiao laughed heartily and said.

Hongtang's lips twitched. Playing with ice blocks, what kind of quirk is that?

However, although it was Qiao Qiao's mecha foot that stepped on the giant ice cone just now, Hong Tang felt the same way because she was one with it. It was indeed very stress-relieving and refreshing.

"Then I'll store some in my space." Hongtang placed her palm on the ice pillar and quickly collected a piece.

"I have fulfilled your wish. Now, let's get to work. The goal is right under our feet."

【Yes, sir!】

At a command, Qiaoqiao began working. Hongtang sat inside the mecha, watching its fancy performance.

Qiaoqiao's arms rapidly extended and retracted, eventually forming a spinning throwing knife shape in her palms. Then, both hands simultaneously plunged into the ice and began to spin rapidly.

Soon, a large hole with a diameter of nearly two meters appeared on the ice.

Then, gradually, the giant mech, which was more than three people tall, disappeared beneath the ice.

Like riding an elevator, Hongtang looked vertically through the mecha's external viewing window at the wondrous scenery beneath the ice.

Swimming sea fish, broken seashells, chasing schools of fish, patches of seaweed, and of course, plastic waste discarded by humans and the carcasses of dead marine plants and animals.

Hongtang was still captivated by the beauty of the large mutated jellyfish she had just seen when she suddenly met the ugly face of a zombie skeleton with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.

Oops!

I'm super!

That scared the hell out of me! o(╥﹏╥)o!

Thankfully, the zombie was frozen in the ice, and she was inside the mech, not directly facing it, otherwise it would have been a tragedy.

【Oh my god, what is this thing? It scared me to death, sob sob~】

"Puff!"

Suddenly, I heard Qiaoqiao's affected scream and the sound of her falling into the water.

It turns out that it broke through the ice layer and entered the sea.

Like a vertical drop, the heavy mech fell rapidly in the seawater, reaching a depth of more than 130 meters in just a few seconds.

Hongtang spotted the massive oil tanker that had capsized in the icy sea at a single glance.
