It was dark clouds.

A sinking feeling hit Yan Qingwen as he recalled the heavy rain when they first entered the game.

“When we were woken up, it was around 7 a.m., each season lasted 8 hours, so summer… is two hours away.”

Two hours. They didn’t have much time.

What initially seemed like a long 8 hours was now ominously short because according to the game’s difficulty level, the visitor in the summer would indeed be scarier than the bear in the spring.

Yan Qingwen asked Shen Mo, “How tough do you think that bear was?”

Shen Mo glanced at him, “… Outdoors, I’d give it a rating of 5. Indoors, 7.”

Bai Youwei asked, “Out of 100?”

Shen Mo chuckled, ruffling her hair, “Out of 10.”

Bai Youwei wasn’t willing to accept this answer.

She thought Shen Mo should be able to instantly overcome any obstacle. But on second thought, she understood why:

First, their movement was constrained by the space. If a beast entered, they would be trapped and unable to effectively fight back.

Second, their weapons were regulated. Even if their bodies were enhanced by the maze, they would be at a disadvantage barehanded against a fierce beast.

“The bear was indeed tough to handle,” Yan Qingwen pondered, “The visitor blocking the door doesn’t allow us to leave. As hosts, we can’t leave the dolls’ house, which is the game field. Besides, the doll game doesn’t allow players to carry any weapons… With the time left, in addition to looking for the ‘treasure’, we need to prepare some self-defense tools.”

“If we can’t fight back effectively, can we make some traps using the existing conditions?” Bai Youwei suggested, “I don’t have any experience, but it’s just a thought. For example, we could pile up furniture like beds and wardrobes near the staircase. If the visitor rampages, we can hide on the second floor. Having these things blocking their path could buy us at least a few extra seconds, right?”

As long as they held on for 1 minute, they could survive.

“I can do this.” said Yan Qingwen, “But I need some help. Some mechanisms cannot be installed by one person.”

“I’ll help,” Lun Ang stepped up, “We’re used to working together. I know what materials he needs.”

Bai Youwei turned to Lun Ang, “The dry grass you found on the roof just now, right?”

Lun Ang was stunned, “Yes, would you like me to bring it over? I left it in the living room.”

Bai Youwei slightly shook her head: “Xiaoxin found some dried grass on the edge of the staircase too. It looks like water grass. I suggest you make your traps waterproof.”

Yan Qingwen and Lun Ang exchanged glances.

If they had to waterproof the traps, any mechanisms involving fire had to be scrapped.

That was a pity. Fire was the simplest and most effective means of attack.

Especially when Bai Youwei had an electric rabbit, the combination of the two would surely be effective.

Yan Qingwen looked out of the window again. The dark clouds were spreading wider. He furrowed his brows and said solemnly, “Let’s hurry up.”

Everyone started to get busy.

Two hours. It’s not long, yet not short.

As time approached, the sky gradually darkened. Black clouds enveloped the entire sky, devoid of any light, rendering the room pitch black.

Shen Mo turned on the light.

The mountain top cabin emitted spots of light in the impending storm.

The music box on the windowsill flickered. The long silent snowflakes started to flutter again—

The sphere said, “It’s so dark in the summer rain, can’t see where the treasure is…”

Whoosh!

The downpour came suddenly!

All the views outside the window were blocked by the curtain of rain, just like when they first arrived at this house.
