This warning is a bit late, isn't it?
Lan Qingyou tilted her head slightly, looking at Steel Wool in her hand, which was still throwing a fit at the Magic Broom below.
She wasn't the only one complaining; almost everyone who heard the announcement couldn't help but grumble.
If they had been given a heads-up a few days earlier, wouldn't they have been much better prepared?
Now, after people had already died and others had barely scraped through, the announcement finally came. If that wasn't "too little, too late," what was?
However...
In this dangerous otherworldly 30-day cycle, ten of those days were spent at home for mandatory rest.
Good grief, that was practically a "three-on, two-off" lifestyle!
And it even included a "Golden Week" every month.
This was a "blessing" that even the most overworked employees back home wouldn't dare dream of.
It's so moving, I'm literally crying.
After realizing this, many people actually did burst into tears.
Though it seemed like an exaggeration, it was the honest truth.
Yes, this was another world, the Kalim continent, where mana overflowed and death could come at any moment—but at least the schedule was stable.
Losing your life happened in an instant, but the 669 grind directly eroded your body and soul.
Looking back, didn't that seem like a magical curse?
No!
It was arguably crueler than any curse!
For some reason, after hearing the world consciousness's words, many of the previously timid cowards suddenly found their courage!
What's done is done.
Since they were already here, and since they had already survived two rounds of natural disasters...
Then all that was left was to live a good life in this new world, wasn't it?
Just as the world consciousness had said when it first brought them here: they were to populate this world.
Besides, they now had magic and talents.
Even if not everyone had an S-rank high-level talent, everyone at least had one awakened talent. Wasn't that their foundation for standing tall in this world?
Look at that Witch of the High Tower—her talent was only E-rank.
Were they missing arms or legs? Could they really be any worse than her?
Once they reached this realization, many people decided to take advantage of the darkness to head out and look for treasure chests. They hoped to find some books to read and better adapt to this world.
They wanted to make something of themselves here.
However, just as they were about to act, as if sensing their intentions, the world consciousness dealt them a crushing blow.
【Due to the expiration of the one-month treasure chest agreement negotiated between the Kalim world consciousness and the Blue Star world consciousness, the deployment of all resource chests will cease effective immediately. Please resolve your own needs for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.】
"..."
Wait.
We just got our motivation up—why are you shutting us down like this?
What was the world consciousness thinking?
Was this okay?
It definitely wasn't!
Those who had been about to step out of their homes suddenly froze and pulled back.
Meanwhile, Lan Qingyou's expression changed drastically upon hearing those words.
Because she remembered something.
It was those items identified by her small screen as 【Shackle Chests】.
If she remembered correctly, hadn't the identification description also mentioned something about "one month"?
So, was that what "one month" meant?
