“It’s too expensive.”

The tall girl was speechless. She only had two gold coins on her, she did not expect a weapon she liked to be so expensive.

“This price is already quite good, madam.”

The middle-aged native smiled.

“Such a high-quality sword is only produced a few times a year in our Silver Frost Smithy. The holy light enchantment on it is even more precious. It can allow you to deal with evil creatures without fail.”

“Let me look around.”

No matter how much this person bragged, the tall girl knew that she could not afford it. She checked the other weapons.

“How much is this spear?”

Zhou Chen also found a mid bronze spear and asked for its price.

“Twenty gold coins.”

The middle-aged native immediately replied.

“Twenty… This is much cheaper than the sword earlier. Is it because it doesn’t have an enchantment?”

Zhou Chen asked curiously.

“Yes, enchantment requires precious materials and specialized mages. The price of enchantment is usually higher than the weapon itself.”

The middle-aged native explained.

“Then do you provide enchantments? I want to enchant a spear.”

Zhou Chen asked.

“Sure, but you have to pay the deposit, and the enchantment will be finished within a month.”

“A month… is too slow.”

Zhou Chen shook his head. They did not have so much time.

The three of them looked around the smithy for a while and found several high-quality weapons that could be brought back to Planet Blue. However, most of them were expensive, so they left without buying anything.

“Ten days… I wonder if it’s enough for me to earn fifteen gold coins…”

As he walked on the stone path of Snowy Peak City, the refined young man mumbled.

“Are you still thinking about that dagger?”

Zhou Chen couldn’t help but smile.

The refined young man had taken a fancy to a high-quality dagger worth 15 gold coins in the smithy. Zhou Chen had suggested lending him money, but he had refused. He said that he had to earn the money himself.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely be able to buy it before the Survival mission ends.”

The refined young man adjusted his glasses and replied confidently.

However, before Zhou Chen could reply, an abnormality suddenly appeared.

The ground under their feet suddenly shook violently. The stone houses on both sides of the street began to shake, as if they would collapse in the next second.

“F*ck! There’s an earthquake!”

Zhou Chen immediately reacted.

“Run to the square!”

He charged towards a flat square with no buildings to prevent himself from being smashed by the buildings.

However, they were still a distance away from the square. The earthquake was too sudden and violent. When they were still a distance away from the square, the stone houses on both sides of the street began to collapse.

The three of them immediately encountered huge resistance. Not only did they have to dodge the panicked natives on the street, but they also had to dodge the stone blocks from the falling houses. The path they took was quickly blocked by the collapsed houses, making it difficult to pass.

Zhou Chen directly activated his Windrun skill. He endured the few falling stones and jumped onto a pile of debris and stones. This was because the buildings in this area had already collapsed, and although the pile of stones might continue to collapse, there would definitely not be any more stones falling from the sky.

From this point of view, he could no longer see the refined young man and the tall girl, but he knew that they should be behind a stone pile.

This originally bustling city had turned into ruins in these few seconds. Apart from the castle in the middle that did not seem to be affected much, the other places had been completely destroyed. Even Zhou Chen, who was just a guest here, felt a little heartache.

‘System, you are really something. You can’t watch us live in peace, can you?’

Seeing that the earthquake seemed to have ended and that almost all the buildings had collapsed, Zhou Chen jumped off the stone pile to look for his two companions while pondering.

Soon, he found the tall girl behind a pile of stones. She looked to be in good condition. Apart from some scratches on her shoulder, she was fine.

“He was buried here. He might be dead.”

The tall girl saw Zhou Chen and immediately pointed at a stone pile.

Zhou Chen went forward to take a look and realized that the stone parts were not small. The smallest was a few tons heavy. It should have been the building materials from a large theater beside this street.

“He’s really dead. My perception tells me that there is no living thing here.”

Zhou Chen’s perception was very strong, and he had the passive skill, Bloodthirst, to sense living things, so he immediately determined that the refined young man was dead.

Boom!

The two did not have the time to be sentimental. Immediately after, they heard a vast and deep rumbling from afar. They could not help but turn their heads to look over.

The tall and striking snowy peak seemed to have become much shorter in that direction. A large number of stones and a mountain-like pile of snow were rolling over.

“…”

Zhou Chen immediately felt the system’s malice. He activated his Windrun skill and ran into the distance.

‘What a pity. I originally wanted to go to the Silver Frost Smithy to take a look.’

Zhou Chen thought as he fled. Originally, this earthquake was not a bad thing, giving him a chance to take advantage of the situation. However, the avalanche in the distance dispelled his thoughts. He did not feel like he could survive such a disaster.

Behind Zhou Chen, the tall girl was also running with all her might. Her speed was very fast, but it could not compare to Zhou Chen, who had activated the Windrun skill. Soon, she was further and further away from him.

Zhou Chen ran for about five kilometers before stopping and resting.

Looking back, he saw that the already ruined Snowy Peak City was once again covered by the avalanche and crushed stones of the nearby mountain. Even the castle in the central area was not spared.

“What is wrong with this city lord, is he going to watch his city be destroyed?”

Zhou Chen thought to himself as he looked at the disaster.

He had originally thought that in this extraordinary world, a figure like the city lord might have a way to prevent or mitigate this disaster. Now, it seemed like he was thinking too much.

Zhou Chen rested for a while in the snow-covered wilderness. The tall girl ran to his side, panting.

“Go… go to Cedar Town?”

The tall girl asked him while panting.

“Yeah.”

“I hope that it is not affected by the earthquake.”

Zhou Chen replied, looking at the snow that had various patterns on the ground due to the earthquake.

“But even if the situation is good, we shouldn’t stay long. I feel that we are no different from a jinx.”

He said helplessly.
