The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Meanwhile, in the cable car on the other side...

A young girl with long, flowing hair was staring at three bed sheets that had suddenly appeared in front of her. Before her smile could even bloom, she was nearly fainted by an overwhelming stench.

That taste...

The smells of blood, urine, sweat, and some indescribable putridity mingled together, and after several hours of sealed fermentation, they erupted completely at this moment.

"vomit--"

Lin Yuwei covered her mouth, forcing herself to suppress her nausea as she kicked the three bed sheets into a corner.

She opened a crack in the cable car window to let the cold wind in, which finally allowed her to catch her breath.

"That bastard..."

She gritted her teeth and opened the private chat, only to find that the other party was no longer replying.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Yuwei gradually calmed down.

She looked at the three sheets again.

Although it smelled bad, it was definitely a real quilt. And judging from the material, it was the kind of old-fashioned cotton quilt commonly used in rural areas, thick and warm.

The key is--

She glanced at the night sky beginning to fall outside the window, feeling the increasingly distinct chill in the air.

It will be very cold tonight.

It's very cold.

"never mind……"

Lin Yuwei pinched her nose and used two fingers to lift the bed sheet, trying her best not to let it touch her.

"I'll let it slide since I can sell it for a higher price later."

She carefully folded the sheets and placed them in a corner of the cable car.

That guy named Su Mu thinks he got the better deal? That actually makes me feel less guilty.

Just wait, when the temperature drops below zero tonight, you'll be crying.

Hmph, let's see what you'll use to beg me then.

……

Su Mu was naturally unaware of these things.

After closing the private chat, he continued browsing the channels.

As darkness fell, the atmosphere in the channel grew increasingly tense.

Messages asking for food and water flooded the screen.

Some people tried to trade for materials like iron ingots and glass essence, but very few were willing to do so—these things couldn't be eaten or kept warm, and were just a pile of scrap iron in their hands.

Su Mu glanced at his supplies and then at the "Iron Ingots for Food" requests in the channel. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't make a move.

Aside from blueprints and special items, he will not trade anything for the time being.

As for those who don't even dare to try the first landing...

Su Mu shook his head.

He is not a saint, nor is he obligated to save these people.

After flipping through the pages for a while, Su Mu noticed a phenomenon:

Those who are truly skilled and capable of defeating monsters almost never speak in the chat. Occasionally, someone will share their experience, but it's just empty talk like "Goblins are strong, I recommend teaming up," without mentioning specific drops, chest locations, or monster weaknesses.

This is the normal mindset of a survivor.

Make a fortune quietly and never utter a word.

Su Mu withdrew his gaze and was about to turn off the channel when he suddenly felt a chill.

He subconsciously looked up at the window.

It was completely dark.

But it wasn't a normal night.

Outside the window was a pure, thick darkness, devoid even of moonlight. The layer of gray fog grew even thicker at night, enveloping the entire world, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

The chill was seeping in through the cracks in the glass.

Su Mu glanced at the temperature displayed on the system interface:

Current outside temperature of the cable car: 8℃

8 degrees?

He remembered that during the day, it was at least in the twenties (Celsius). And now, just as night fell, it had already dropped by more than ten degrees?

Moreover, the chill continues to intensify.

Su Mu tightened his clothes and closed the window gaps as much as possible.

But it didn't work.

That cold wasn't just a simple drop in temperature; it was a chilling cold that seeped into your very bones. It felt as if something was lurking in the thick fog, making your very soul tremble.

The channel has exploded:

"Holy crap, it's so cold! What time is it? It's at least below zero!"

"Does anyone know what's wrong with this weather? It's in the twenties during the day, but drops to below zero at night?"

"Help! I don't have any warm clothes! I'm freezing to death!"

Just then, a message popped up.

[Lin Yuwei: Selling warm supplies! Three quilts! Excellent warmth! 10 food supplies or one blueprint, nothing else, no bargaining!]

Su Mu raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing the message.

10 portions?

He just traded three sets of warm clothing for nine sets of food, plus a bottle of water and two loaves of bread, in exchange for the talisman.

Now, Lin Yuwei is selling three quilts for the price of 10 servings of food per quilt—or a set of blueprints.

This single transaction resulted in a profit of more than double.

Su Mu looked at the message, then glanced at the increasingly cold sky outside the window.

She must have known it would be cold tonight.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have specifically asked about warm clothing during the transaction, nor would they have sold it at such a high price at this particular time.

But how did she know that?

Su Mu fell into deep thought.

The first thing that comes to mind is talent—the other person may have awakened the ability to sense the weather.

But upon closer reflection, it seems unlikely.

If her talent is simply sensing the weather, then how did she obtain that [Level 1 Strength Breakthrough Talisman]?

Keep in mind, he killed dozens of goblin cubs and didn't get a single talisman. The drop rate for these items is incredibly low; you either need to open a good treasure chest or kill a stronger monster.

Does someone who can only sense the weather have this ability?

Unless she has other teammates, or she's incredibly lucky and opened a good treasure chest.

Forget it.

Su Mu shook his head, ceasing his speculation.

You can't guess it, and no one can tell you, just like you can't tell others about your own talent.

However, he was very clear about one thing: Lin Yuwei was not a simple person.

They have brains, information, and the courage to take action.

I'll have to be careful if I encounter this again.

As for holding a grudge?

Su Mu did not.

A transaction is a matter of mutual consent. He got what he needed, while the other party used information asymmetry to gain resources; it was simply a matter of each person relying on their own abilities.

In truth, he should thank her—if she hadn't desperately needed warm clothing, she wouldn't have traded talismans for these few things.

As for getting warm clothing supplies now...

Su Mu glanced at the upgrade progress bar.

[Cable car upgrade progress: 87%]

almost.

Just hang in there a little longer.
