Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 72: The Greatness of Ordinary People

Wei Huo did not want to dwell on this anymore. He had already gained what he needed. It was time to descend from the mountain. Wei Sha and the rhinoceros were still waiting for him at the foot of the mountain.

However, Wei Huo realized that the Wild Giant was following him and observing Wei Huo with its curious eyes.

Wei Huo scrunched his brows. How long are you going to follow me for? Aren’t you supposed to be guarding this snowy mountain?

Wei Huo moved down the mountain step by step, and the Wild Giant followed him closely. It did not care what the Ice Elementals were until they surrounded Wei Huo. As long as they dared to enter his range, he would attack them. That was a system setting.

Wei Huo clenched his fists and got ready to attack as he watched the approaching Ice Elementals. However, the Wild Giant shouted, “Stop!”

As soon as it finished speaking, a few Ice Elementals evaporated and a Chinese paper floated in the air.

The Wild Giant grabbed the paper in its hand and said, “That was close. Let me take a look at that ancient scroll. Yes, I’ll write an essay on ‘What’s Great’. Isn’t that my favorite kind of essay? Let me see who this author is. He wrote ‘The Greatness of Ordinary People’.”

Wei Huo could not help but stop in his tracks. Why does this essay sound so familiar?

The Wild Giant took the paper and started reading it. “The Greatness of Ordinary People by author Wei Huo. A drop of water may be ordinary, but it nourishes an inch of land. A ray of light may be common, but it illuminates the darkness. A grain may be ordinary, but it feeds a strand of life…”

The Wild Giant continued reading, but Wei Huo could not take it anymore. He held his own forehead and trembled. It’s f*cking awkward to have someone read my high school essay in such an exposing manner!

Please don’t read it! Can you read it silently? Can you read it silently?

“We only remember the Great-Marquis Zhuge from Space City, Ma Xin, but who knows how to face an army of veterans with a straight face? How can an ordinary person’s silent sacrifice make these people appear noble?”

Wei Huo was stunned. He suddenly heard a trembling sound come from the giant. He turned around and saw the giant crying as it was reading. Wei Huo had never seen the snowman crying, but he saw it today.

“Normal people pay silently without getting fame or wealth. Their life’s efforts will only be repaid at that moment. The meaning of their life is to be sacrificed for the main character, allowing the main character to gain both fame and wealth. Without ordinary people’s silent sacrifice, how could the main character achieve greatness? We only see those glorious characters in history, but we don’t know that even more unknown people have been buried. So what if Xiang Yu doesn’t have a strong army of 100,000 soldiers? So what if Zhou Yu doesn’t have a strong army of 50,000 soldiers? So what if he burns the wall?”

The Wild Giant was reading his essay excitedly while Wei Huo was dumbfounded. I wrote this. How could I write such a thing?’

The Wild Giant was crying while reading. Wei Huo could not understand. Why are you crying?

As the Wild Giant was talking loudly, a weird sound came from under the snowy mountain. At first, Wei Huo thought that Ice Elementals and Snow Worms were surging toward him. However, moments later, Wei Huo saw a pair of Wingless Crawling Dragons.

‘Wingless Crawling Dragon, Normal Rank.’

Numerous Crawling Dragons climbed down the snowy mountain and attacked Wei Huo the moment they saw him. Wei Huo frowned and said, “Scram!”

Information immediately appeared in the helmet of the power armor. Even at night, the helmet could mark the location of the Crawling Dragons.

Is there anything special about this power armor?

Wei Huo waved his hand and a mini submachine gun immediately extended from the armor on his arm. “Da Da Da!” The mini submachine gun immediately launched an attack. Countless bullets were shot from it, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Wei Huo’s raised arms were a little stiff. He was not used to such attacks, as he had never come into contact with guns before.

What is the weapon on my left hand?

Wei Huo lifted his left hand. At that thought, a sharp blade popped up on his left hand.

He had a sharp blade in his left hand and a rifle in his right hand? Why was this so weird?

Wei Huo was not used to not using his right hand. He put his knife away and cut a Crawling Dragon in half.

Wei Huo suddenly realized that the power armor was melee armor!

He charged down the mountain. He had realized that the Crawling Dragons were not targeting him at all. If he had not blocked their way, the Crawling Dragons would not have attacked him. They were not targeting the Wild Snow Giant either. They were heading straight for the top of the mountain and attacking all the creatures that tried to stop them. If there had been none, they would have headed straight for the top.

Their target was the cave at the top of the mountain!

However, the Wild Giant’s mission was to guard that cave. It was furious when it saw the Crawling Dragons, so it immediately picked up two huge snowballs with its hands and threw them at them. The snowballs rolled on the ground and eventually became a super snowball. Countless Crawling Dragons were dragged into the snowball and rolled down the mountain.

Right at that moment, a huge shadow descended from the sky. The shadow opened its mouth and spat out a raging flame that engulfed the Wild Giant.

It was the Black Dragon!

Although he could not see anything at night, Wei Huo had the helmet of the power armor. The helmet included night vision. That was why he saw a gigantic creature descend from the sky and fight with the Wild Giant.

At that moment, Wei Huo was presented with a Decision Quest.

‘Decision Quest: Black Dragon vs Wild Giant.’

“If you choose to help the Black Dragon and kill the Wild Giant, the Black Dragon’s favorability will increase by 10 points. You will be rewarded with a random item.”

“Selecting to help the Wild Giant and kill the Black Dragon will increase the Snowman’s favorability by 10 points. You will be rewarded with a random item.”

Who should I help? Is that useful to me? The Wild Giant was born with a good impression of humans!

However, Wei Huo did not act rashly. He rushed down the snowy mountain and found Wei Sha’s new camp. The Crawling Dragon army did not attack the camp, as the camp was built near a pond and was in a different direction from the Crawling Dragons.

Wei Huo shouted at Wei Sha, “Bring your weapons and the rhinoceros quickly! I have triggered the quest. Follow me and let’s kill monsters!”

Wei Sha was confused. Quest? Kill monsters? What is he talking about?

Wei Huo was speechless.

He suddenly realized that he was the only one who knew that this world was really a game.

The Wild Giant, the Black Dragon, Wei Sha, and the Rhinoceros did not know that this world was just a game. Their personalities, species, mission goals, cultural background, hobbies, and fate had been determined!
