The Hideout's First Duck and the Weather Data

[Congratulations! You have learned the skill "Longsword—Parry" (Rare Grade).]

"My god, I finally learned it!"

Yu Yuan tossed the book onto the table and stretched with satisfaction.

That had not been easy.

Not easy at all.

Yu Yuan had realized just how hard it was for him to learn skills from these books.

It had been the same when he learned Sniping.

Learning a Longsword skill was just as difficult. Even with the Eager-to-Learn Reading Pen, he had struggled this much. He could hardly imagine how long it would have taken without it.

That reminded him of dear Commander Lawrence.

"Old Lawrence's notes were so easy to understand! I could learn a skill just by flipping through them. If I'd known, I wouldn't have killed him. I could've had him write study notes for me."

There was no point dwelling on it. Yu Yuan checked the time, got up, and left the Rest Area.

A new Celestial Phenomenon Card was about to form at the Starry Sky Observatory.

Yu Yuan used the Escape Key to enter the Starry Sky Observatory.

As soon as he appeared, he saw violent winds raging outside. The sky looked like a giant Washing Machine, churning so fiercely it seemed ready to turn the whole world upside down.

Yu Yuan sighed.

The second stage of the Endless Cold Wave—the Superstorm Cluster—had arrived!

It had come early the previous morning.

Yu Yuan had not felt the force of the storms firsthand, but through the Surveillance Cameras, he had seen the streets, already littered by the Wasteland and war, swept completely clean.

Rubble and garbage had all been carried away by the Superstorm Cluster, vanishing without a trace.
