I had something to take care of during the day and went to the hospital, so today's update isn't ready yet. I'll edit and refresh it once it's done, just holding a spot to maintain the daily updates.
You can check it out tomorrow, refreshing this chapter will suffice.

Arctic Survival, Day Seven.
When Bi Fang pushed aside the snow and stepped out of the dim cave, almost everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.
The blizzard that had raged for nearly four days had finally come to an end. As far as the eye could see, the whole world was once again covered in snow.
The rocks that were initially exposed, symbolizing the arrival at the frozen tundra, had completely disappeared as if the ice plains had returned once more.
This blizzard was not ordinary; it was more like a signal of the perpetual night's approach.
Bi Fang took a breath, looking at the sun hanging low on the horizon. In any low-latitude region, the sun's position could have been considered dusk, but on Greenland, it was already midday.
"In all my adventures, I have never felt so weak."
Walking onto the land and taking deep breaths, Bi Fang found himself slightly short of breath, with a lack of oxygen supply due to his rather excited state, but after only a few breaths, he quickly recovered.
Oxygen uptake had always been one of Bi Fang's strengths.
In seven days, having eaten only some lichens and moss, aside from satiety, the energy gained was pitifully little; in fact, it was mostly trace elements. However, these things were not the most important for survival.
Bi Fang needed fat, fat rich in copious amounts of oil that could provide a full quota of heat with every bite.
Fish, foxes, reindeer, mice, anything would do.
But it was difficult to find mammals at that moment; humans feared the cold, and so did animals.
"Animals, in order to adapt to the environment, develop thick fur and several centimeters of fat layers, but it doesn't mean that they're not afraid of the cold. On the contrary, once they sense a change in the weather, these polar animals know better than humans how to preserve their own body fat. Therefore, after a blizzard, it's very hard to find any trace of prey."
"On one hand, the blizzard has wiped everything out, all traces have vanished, making the
After the body warms the water a little, moving creates a water flow, and the cold water that has not been warmed will wrap around the body again. However, if you are wearing clothes, it will to some extent prevent such a circulation of water.
Furthermore, even if clothing becomes heavier, it doesn't feel significant in water. It's only when you climb out that the weight becomes unbearable. In the water, buoyancy supports you, and the weight is not so heavy that you can't keep up.
So, from any perspective, it's better not to take them off.
The Shuiyou had an epiphany.
[Damn, I've been wrong all this time!?]
[Learned something new, another survival tip.]
[Master Fang is awesome!!]
[I have a reason to suspect that what comes next is a practical demonstration.]
"There's no demonstration, I'm about to freeze to death."
Bi Fang sneezed again. If it was right after he arrived, a dip in the water wouldn't have been a problem, but now with a cold and weakened, it would truly be risky to try. Better to be cautious.
While explaining the essentials of Arctic survival to his audience, Bi Fang finally found some material that could be of use.
"Hey, look what I've found."
Bi Fang pulled his foot out of the thick layer of snow, hopped and skipped in a new direction toward a black dot on the ground.
The presence of a black dot in a field of snow definitely meant something different was there.
When Bi Fang reached the black dot and brushed away the snow to look...
Ha!
A long tree branch!
Ssst!
The viewers drew in a breath of cold air, and the global greenhouse effect suddenly intensified a notch, accelerating the melting of the Arctic ice. The ice breakaway thundered into the icy surface, causing waves that surprised a cruise ship passing by.
The Shuiyou did not expect to see such a familiar old friend in the desolate Arctic!
Bi Fang's face was matted with snowflakes; after wiping them off, he pulled out the whole branch.
A fairly thick branch with many forks - perfect material for a tree stick!
[Artifact acquired, the chances of success for this survival increased by a hundred percent, the chances of finding food increased by a hundred percent, the chances of finding a river increased by a hundred percent!]
[Finding a tree stick means victory!]
[Server announcement: Congratulations to the player Bi Fang for obtaining the only designated artifact of this server, a dry tree branch.]
