"…So that's how it is."

Seeing the bodies of the players under the makeshift shelter, Shinomiya Kaguya instantly understood.

A standard snow mountain incident.

When a person falls asleep in an extremely cold environment, they first feel extreme cold. If they don't wake up, blood will concentrate on supplying the brain, making the person feel a false warmth, or even heat, and finally die with a smile in a dream.

The beginning of the game was a collective dream.

There was only one main quest, and that was to make oneself 'wake up.'

"Eh, why do those people look exactly like us?"

Even now, some people were still confused.

For example, Takanashi Rikka.

This chuunibyou girl's expression was blank, her ahoge shivering in the cold wind, completely unaware of the situation before her, and she vaguely heard the game clear prompt.

The best leg-hugging player in the entire game.

"Thank you, Natsuki-kun."

Several other passerby players gradually came to their senses and walked up to Amamiya Natsuki one after another, expressing their gratitude.

If Amamiya Natsuki hadn't called them to leave together, they would still be in the ancient castle now, and the final outcome would have been obvious.

"You're welcome, everyone should help each other and overcome difficulties together," Fujiwara Chika's voice was clear, and she didn't forget to recommend the mutual aid organization she had formed, "Everyone, after you go back, you can join the mutual aid group… See you in reality."

The cold wind howled.

Snow fell heavily.

The snow mountain was truly not a place for chatting. After a few simple words, everyone quickly walked under the cliff shelter and reached out to touch their own bodies.

[Game Cleared]

[Leaving the game in ten seconds, players please prepare]

"No wonder everyone's countdown was different…" Fujiwara Chika murmured to herself, "It's actually related to everyone's physical fitness, right?"

Amamiya Natsuki and Shinomiya Kaguya exchanged glances, both understanding the look in each other's eyes.

"No, it's fat."

"…"

Ten seconds passed in a flash.

Amamiya Natsuki only felt a slight dizziness in his head, and the next moment, Miko's soft call sounded in his ears.

"Natsuki?"

Amamiya Natsuki opened his eyes and found himself lying on the sofa. Miko was supporting herself on her knees, bending over, looking at him with worried eyes.

"Long time no see," Amamiya Natsuki sat up, covering his forehead, his voice low.

"Eh?"

"I just spent several hours in the game; seeing you now feels like yesterday…"

Miko gave him an exasperated look, "Look at what time it is."

"Huh?"

Amamiya Natsuki was startled, picked up his phone, and saw that it was already past two in the afternoon.

"You suddenly disappeared earlier," Miko explained, pursing her pink lips. "Just vanished into thin air, completely out of sight, and only just reappeared. Chika came back from walking the dog earlier and asked why you weren't home. I had no choice but to say you went out for something… It's completely different from what you said before."

"It should be a situation after the game update," Amamiya Natsuki frowned slightly.

Before, only his consciousness entered the game; now his body can enter too… Has the game evolved?

As they spoke, a semi-transparent Mrs. Shimizu appeared out of thin air.

"Natsuki is so mean," Mrs. Shimizu's tone was resentful, as if Amamiya Natsuki was a heartless scoundrel who had abandoned her. "He didn't even call me for help from beginning to end."

"I did call," Amamiya Natsuki spread his hands. "But you couldn't come out."

The snowy mountain and ancient castle in the game are the collective subconscious of all players. Mrs. Shimizu, as a 'pet,' naturally cannot enter.

This was also why Amamiya Natsuki received no response when he summoned Mrs. Shimizu earlier.

"Are Kaguya-chan and Chika-chan okay?" Mrs. Shimizu asked.

Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "They're fine. We cleared the game together."

"That's good." Mrs. Shimizu patted her unremarkable chest and let out a light sigh. Although she was a ghost and didn't need to breathe at all, her face was full of anticipation as she said, "What was the content of your game this time? I'm very curious."

Learn from your family's ice-sculpture daughter; even if she's super curious, she wouldn't ask directly!

Yotsuya Miko asked curiously, "I want to know too."

"It was a wilderness survival disguised as a Blizzard Mountain Villa…"

Amamiya Natsuki briefly described the game content.

"So dangerous!" Mrs. Shimizu covered her pink lips. "Are games always this dangerous?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded: "Always."

"It's good that you cleared it," Miko breathed a soft sigh of relief. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go prepare lunch."

"I am a bit hungry," Amamiya Natsuki stood up, feeling a lingering chill on his body. "I'll go take a bath first."

After staying in the ice and snow for so long, what did he want to do most upon returning to reality?

Of course, it was to take a bath!

"Shall I scrub Natsuki's back?" Mrs. Shimizu raised her right hand. "I couldn't help in the game, so now I want to help in any way I can."

Miko paused, then turned to look.

"No need," Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly. "Go play with your phone."

Helping to scrub his back, huh? You shouldn't say that in front of Miko, or in front of your daughter!

He walked into the bathroom.

Amamiya Natsuki filled the bathtub, quickly rinsed his body, then sat in the tub and began to bathe.

"Hoo…"

Letting out a soft breath, Amamiya Natsuki opened the game settlement interface.

[Congratulations, you have been awarded MVP for this game.]

[All your earnings will receive an additional boost.]

[MVP has an extra reward bonus; it hasn't appeared before, so it seems to be content from the update.]

Amamiya Natsuki mused, continuing to read.

[In recognition of your excellent performance, you may choose one item from the following five as your additional reward.]

[Note: All rewards come from the 'Wilderness Challenge' dungeon you just cleared.]

[Do you want to choose now?]

"Yes."

Amamiya Natsuki certainly wouldn't hesitate. Choosing one out of five, surely they wouldn't all be vengeful spirits.

The next moment.

Five neatly arranged cards appeared before Amamiya Natsuki's eyes, floating in the air, emitting a faint white light. This time, the rewards were different from blind boxes; the content of the five cards was clearly stated, but unfortunately, the reward content was hard to describe.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the first card.

[Item: Headless Knight's Anecdotes]

[This is the diary of a Headless Knight who diligently practiced invisibility, resulting in only his head becoming invisible. It contains many insights and travel observations. You might gain additional benefits after reading it.[

Hey, hey, the reason that Headless Knight has no head is actually invisibility? A man diligently practicing invisibility is clearly a pervert!

[Item: Maid Summoning Card]

[You can summon a Vengeful Spirit Maid to serve you for a maximum of twenty-four hours. Please note, during the maid's work, do not engage in any harassing behavior. Violators will be responsible for the consequences.]

Maid Miss has already grown into that appearance; no normal person would harass her!

Amamiya Natsuki had no perverted maid fetishes, so he skipped it directly.

[Item: Miss Werewolf's Elastic Workout Pants]

[Description: These workout pants were honorably produced by the Transformation Enthusiasts Association, aiming to protect the dignity of all transformation enthusiasts.]

Hulk's elastic pants are one thing, but Miss Werewolf's elastic pants? What use are those?

Amamiya Natsuki looked at the fourth card.

[Item: Pet Collar]

[Note: Ultra-long standby, solar charging, six modes, perfectly ergonomic collar design, bringing you a different kind of fun.]

After looking at all the rewards, Amamiya Natsuki suddenly understood the meaning of MVP after the game update.

The strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker.
