A single-player post-apocalyptic game, but with an all-female teammate mod.

Talent effect: 1. A monster born to control ice and snow, with a constitution that is cold. Attacks can put the target to sleep, freeze or even shatter them (Yuki-onna bloodline).

Second, it is extremely adapted to cold environments and immune to all the negative effects of low temperatures. The lower the temperature of the environment, the higher its own attributes are (Extreme Cold Body).

Skills: Cursed Blizzard, Ghostly Entanglement (not yet unlocked)

Equipment: None

Combat strength: 64

Trust Value: 65% (Bonus: None)

------

After reviewing the panel, Aono was completely relieved.

The subsequent exploration will be much easier.

He also casually checked Bingli's skills, which were the moves she herself knew.

It releases cold air for attack or defense.

The unlocked Ghost Entanglement is a combo attack skill, and like Ika, it requires leveling up to unlock.

"Yes, this is the money for buying equipment."

Aono took out the gold coins and handed them to Bingli, instructing her, "There are many empty rooms in the dormitory. You can choose one yourself. I'll take you there now to discuss buying and upgrading equipment."

Bingli's trust value is not low, starting at 65%, and she is a combat class, so equipment is definitely a must.

In addition, Aono plans to help her level up today.

Once her level and Shiba Miyuki's level are up, the subsequent map exploration will be left to them.

Once their level increases, there will be no need to worry about them being in danger on this icy plain.

While not invincible, escaping is definitely not a problem.

Meanwhile, Aono plans to launch a major recruitment and training operation.

Although his level did not increase, his combat power continued to rise due to various bonuses.

They need time to hone their skills and adapt.

Then, we need to refine our combat skills and continue developing the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Yes, that's it. It wasn't because I was lazy or disliked the cold weather that I made this decision.

"Um, Captain Aono, could you please turn around for a moment?"

Oikawa Rei finally spoke, and her voice was different from the cold and aloof one that Aono had imagined; instead, it was full of youthful energy.

Ok……

It's been so long, I can't remember many of the details.

Aono paused for a moment, then shrugged in relief and turned around.

A rustling sound arose.

After dressing in her white kimono, Oikawa Hyouri said again, "Alright, Captain Aono."

As for whether there's nothing underneath the kimono...

Don't you know that traditional kimonos are worn without underwear (laughs)?

"Hmm, don't call me captain, it feels really weird."

Aono emphasized it again.

There's nothing else to it, I just don't like this title. It always feels like I'm playing a second game, which is weird.

"If you don't want to call me by my name, you can also call me Master."

Oikawa Hyouri hesitated for a moment, but finally obediently said, "Hi, Dogshujin-sama."

Seeing this, Aono didn't ask her when she had traveled through time, as it didn't make much sense.

"Okay, let's go then."

Before breakfast, Aono took Oikawa Hyori to buy her exclusive equipment and then upgraded it.

Finally, we briefly familiarized ourselves with the environment and facilities of the Ark.

Then we ate breakfast together and got to know each other.

During breakfast, Matsuzaka Ume, Miyauchi Kazuho, ​​and Koharu were still not recovered and thus missed the meal.

However, all the women understood what was going on and tacitly refrained from asking.

Only Aiba Asagi, who shared a dorm room with Haruharu, seemed somewhat distracted.

The stylish and beautiful woman's fingers, holding the spoon, were somewhat stiff, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the smooth edge of the silver spoon.

He didn't even notice that the hot milk in front of him had overflowed and soaked a corner of his napkin.

She only snapped back to reality when Aono's voice rang in her ears.

"Asagi, what's wrong? You seem distracted."

She quickly grabbed a tissue and pressed it against the table, replying casually without looking up, "It's nothing, I'm just a little sleepy."

Aono looked at her for two seconds, seemingly trying to find something in her flickering eyes, but in the end he just shrugged.

"Oh, then eat well."

After saying that, he turned back to continue discussing the monster-hunting plan with Oikawa Hirei, Ikaros, and Kage.

Aiba Asagi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the spoon again to stir the now-cold milk.

My gaze drifted uncontrollably to the empty seat beside me, my mind a jumble of thoughts.

Early spring has arrived...

The fact that she hadn't returned home all night in early spring made the girl subconsciously think of the memories of being recruited by Aono.

Now, of those who were recruited at the same time, only I am left.

Asagi thought to herself.

She knew perfectly well that what she saw back then wasn't the real her, but at most just a dream.

But she just couldn't forget it completely.

On the contrary, Aono seemed completely unconcerned.

Her gaze instinctively drifted towards Aono again, but this time she received no response.

Aono was aware that Asagi Aiba was looking at her, but she assumed that Asagi was just concerned about Haru.

He can't read minds, and he won't tell you even if you ask, so let nature take its course.

After breakfast, Aono led Kage, Icarus, and Oikawa Hirei through the energy shield.

Unlike Aono and his two companions, who shivered and pulled out down jackets as soon as they came out, Oikawa Hyouri took a deep breath.

She wore an expression of enjoyment, even her deep blue eyes narrowed.

"Today's task is not to explore as far as possible, but mainly to raise Bingli's level."

Aono said, "So we'll try a new direction; there will be more monsters there."

These issues had already been discussed at breakfast, and none of the three women had any objections.

After walking for a short while, the snake-worm, sensing its prey, came to its door.

Feeling the vibrations beneath their feet, Aono and the other two quickly and skillfully took their positions.

The snake worm had just emerged from the snow when it was met with Qingye's powerful alloy battle axe.

Then came the naginata shrouded in purple lightning and Icarus's laser beam.

In less than a minute, the enormous worm was defeated.

This was only because Aono and the other two were holding back; otherwise, it would have been even faster.

"Bingli, come here."

Aono put away his weapon and called Oikawa Hyouri, who was looking on with curiosity, to his side.

Today's task is to guide the newcomers. The final blow is what grants experience, so we'll save that for Oikawa Hirei.

"Ok!"

Following Aono's instructions, Oikawa Hirei aimed at the snake worm's vital point.

The icicles, formed from condensed cold air, easily pierced the snake's body, drawing out a spray of blue blood.

[Experience +210]

……

Bingli is only level 11.

Five snake worms are enough to level up.

If we're lucky, maybe four will do.

As the snake-worm's corpse gradually stiffened, the beautiful snow woman in a white kimono turned to look at Aono.

The sleeves of her kimono swayed gently in the cold wind, and though her tone was soft, it conveyed a seriousness.

"Dog Xiujin-sama (Master), I want to see what level my strength is now."

Aono raised an eyebrow but did not object.

Bingli's fighting power is far inferior to Ika and Ying's, but she is not at her peak right now either.

It's perfectly understandable that she wants to see how strong she is now.

He raised his hand to signal Icarus and Shadow to step back, while he himself stood aside with his arms crossed.

"Okay, but don't push yourself too hard."

"Hi!"

As Bingli responded, a chill silently spread beneath her feet.

As they were talking, another worm-like snake crawled out from underground.

She pressed her hands down lightly, and the snowflakes drifting around her suddenly solidified, turning into several translucent, azure icicles that hovered in the air.

The next moment, she lightly tapped her fingertip, and ice spikes shot out, not in a straight line, but in an encircling pattern.

The snakes and worms that had just emerged from the ground were instantly covered by a barrage of icicles.

The worm roared, its thick tentacles smashing the ice spikes, but it was still pinned to the snow by even more ice spikes.

It twisted its body wildly, and the snow spray it kicked up automatically froze and fell when it touched Bingli within three feet of her.

"A natural home ground."

Aono nodded to himself, thinking to himself, "He truly deserves to be called a proper level combatant."

Bingli's battles are characterized by the elegance and composure unique to snow women. In the icy and snowy environment, her combat power, enhanced by her talent, far exceeds her actual level.

However, the difference in levels is quite significant.

The snake-worm went completely berserk in pain, its tentacles flailing wildly as it lashed out at Bingli with its tail.

Bingli reacted extremely quickly, lightly touching the ground with her toes and floating backward, instantly creating a deep crater where she had been standing.

"Too slow," Bingli said softly, her fingertips tracing the air.

Centered on her, the temperature plummeted, and a giant python made of pure ice materialized out of thin air, roaring as it collided with the worm.

The collision of ice and meat stirred up a cloud of snow and mist.

Bingli kept retreating, seemingly being suppressed, but she anticipated every attack from the snake worm.

They could either use ice walls to block or slide to deflect the force.

Her frigid body felt as if it had returned to its mother's embrace on the icy plains, and with each breath, the surrounding chill intensified.

"It seems we don't even need to level her up to level 20 or so. She'll be able to explore the snowfield on her own after another six or seven levels."

Observing Bingli's performance, Qingye secretly made a judgment.

If you pair it with Miyuki Shiba, you won't have to worry about safety at all.
