...

The white light in front of him disappeared, and Kieran was already in a narrow room.

The constant shaking from under his feet was enough to make Kieran more sure of where he was: on the boat.

"On the way to the island of trials by boat?"

After Kieran scanned the background of the main quest again, he began to look around.

His backpack is at his feet, half leaning on the wooden hammock that should belong to him, and at the other corner of the hammock is a pillar of the cabin with a calendar hanging on it.

Er1000.4.16.

This is the date above.

A day that has come to the end of spring and is about to enter summer.

It has been more than four months since he left this dungeon world.

However, what he saw through the round window was still deep winter.

No!

It is more chilling than deep winter.

White!

The boundless whiteness filled the whole world.

Even with Kieran's eyesight, he couldn't see what the end was.

All he could see was white snow, translucent ice.

And the boat he was on was sailing slowly on a 'route'.

As the ship slowly moved forward,

The relatively shallow ice layer floating on the sea surface was knocked away, and began to rush towards the two sides, some of which were broken into smaller ice slags, but more of them overlapped with the unmoved solid ice.

Looking at the solid ice, Qin Ran was really terrified.

He has no doubt that if the helm of the ship is a little careless and shifts the rudder, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

"It must be an experienced captain who has been here all year round!"

Qin Ran deduced with certainty.

No one can navigate these ices except by accumulated experience.

Even the most talented people can't do it.

unless……

Use some special mysterious means.

However, that is not available to ordinary people.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible for someone with such means to come here to sail.

However, there are no absolutes in the world.

Qin Ran would never forget what he was doing by boat now.

The Trial of the Temple!

No one can guarantee the identity of the person who will drive the boat.

Chances are it's just an ordinary captain.

But it could also be...

The examiner responsible for the assessment task.

Similar to this kind of 'inconspicuous' trick, Qin Ran, as a bystander in the place where he used to work, has witnessed more than one such application scene.

He saw an unexpected surprise.

Even more unexpected embarrassment.

But no matter what it was, what Kieran remembered most was always the smile of someone who had the right to make decisions.

Smile in surprise.

Face embarrassed smile.

Smiles are always the same, as they are always reaped.

The former is available talent, the latter is available fame.

Qin Ran clearly remembered that when a certain high-level executive with decision-making power reprimanded a defiant candidate, and then fired two employees who were interviewers, the entire company underwent tremendous changes.

It seems that two 'skilled workers' are lost at the moment, but the benefits brought are ten times or a hundred times that of two 'skilled workers'.

Therefore, Qin Ran did not object to such an approach.

However, he didn't want to be a part of it.

Watching is the best option.

Therefore, even through his perception, Kieran found several auras in the cabin that were far stronger than normal, but he had no intention of investigating.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Qin Ran lay on the wooden hammock.

Thin mattresses and quilts are enough to make people complain in this cold temperature. But for Kieran who possessed [Secondary Elemental Damage Resistance], such coldness could only be considered cool at best.

Kieran's breathing became long and orderly.

His body represented the power of [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique], and it began to swim through the whole body, changing his body at a slow speed that even he himself could not judge accurately.

But there is one thing that Kieran can be sure of.

When [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] reaches its peak, his body will inevitably undergo an earth-shaking change.

That would be a qualitative change!

Before that, although there was a system of assistance, water grinding was still indispensable.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

When it was completely dark, a piece of food that could only be called simple was put on a plate, carried by a sailor, and appeared in front of Kieran.

Three slices of dry bread and a meager slice of vegetables and a slice of ham.

The vegetables were shriveled and lacked the slightest taste.

The same is true for the ham slices, which are placed in the mouth, as if they are biting a piece of hard cowhide.

The drink he was drinking was called hot cocoa, but its temperature was definitely not hot, it was at room temperature at most, and it didn't have the slightest bit of sweetness.

Simply put, there was nothing to rave about about this dinner.

However, listening to the constant sound of ice shoveling outside, Kieran would not feel any dissatisfaction.

In order not to freeze the ship, it was possible to continue sailing.

The sailors would go to remove the ice on and off the ship every once in a while.

Compared with these sailors who worked in harsh environments, Kieran considered himself lucky.

What's more, these foods are much better than those fast foods.

Qin Ran wolfed down the dry bread, a slice of vegetables, and a slice of ham, then took a drink called hot cocoa and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, he let out a sigh of satisfaction.

The more portion, the better.

Qin Ran thought so.

It's just that not everyone is as easily satisfied as Qin Ran.

"What is this?"

"Will you give me pig food again?"

"wrong!"

"Pigs eat better than this—don't forget, I paid enough fare to get on board, and that's enough for me to buy your wretch... ugh!"

There was no exit for the word 'boat' at the back, and the shouting stopped abruptly.

About ten seconds later, there was a sound of falling into the water.

What's overboard?

The answer is obvious.

"It's more 'severe' than imagined!"

Qin Ran, who had guessed for a long time, expressed his evaluation without any emotion.

Then, he was ready to continue practicing [Dawn Knight Body Training].

However, a burst of footsteps coming towards his cabin interrupted him.
