Free Web NovelChapter 177: Chapter 74 Big Brother Cup
After a day of rest, the Big Brother Cup was approaching.
This time, only Show Director and Ree Shil participated, and they agreed to meet at the entrance of Card Club.
What surprised Ree Shil was that the Mossy Mushroom, Straw Man, and Slame had come along, saying they wanted to be audience members.
When they arrived at the Card Club, Show Director had already arranged a hovering van to wait for them.
The van was very spacious, and the two humans, mushroom, and slime creature all got in without being crowded.
It still had no steering wheel and was still autonomous driving.
The 300-kilometer journey was 3 times longer than the 200-mile journey Ree Shil took in Instance when he drove a carriage to the farmstead.
But in terms of time, it was more than ten times faster.
Just over an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
"Is this the Holy Spirit Relic?"
Ree Shil looked surprised as he got off the van.
In his imagination, the Holy Spirit Relic should be some broken stone architecture, with various plants growing on the stones and so on.
Now, however...
"Sugar-Coated Haws~ Come and taste the delicious Sugar-Coated Haws~"
"Postcards! Send a postcard to friends and family!"
"Group photos! Anybody want a group photo?"
One by one, the vendors shouted as they saw people approaching.
Some people were selling various exquisite and expensive snacks that didn’t taste good.
Others were selling all kinds of expensive and useless souvenirs.
Some people were leading strange beasts or wearing bizarre costumes themselves, offering group photo services.

This place looked like a sightseeing base already.
"These are all derived service industries. The real Holy Spirit Relic is actually over there."
Show Director pointed to a distant area and everyone saw a majestic mountain.
They were now at the foot of the mountain, and the real Holy Spirit Relic was on the snowy mountain peak.
"Let’s check into the hotel first, and then I’ll take you guys up the mountain to have a look."
Under her guidance, they first checked into a hotel.
After a brief rest and tidying up, they took the cable car to the mountain peak.
Due to the large temperature difference between the top and bottom of the mountain, they all wore thick clothing to keep warm.
As humans, Show Director and Ree Shil naturally wore full gear.
Mossy Mushroom, on the other hand, simply put on a down jacket, without the need for pants.
Because it was short, a top was enough to cover it from head to toe.
"What about you two? Don’t you need clothes?"
Ree Shil looked at Straw Man and Slame.
It was hard for him to understand why they needed to wear swimsuits at the beach but were not wearing anything on the snow mountain.
"Slime creatures like us do not fear the cold. After all, we are made of jelly, blub blub blub~"
Slame was right; their tribe had a low sensitivity to and demand for temperature.
Therefore, even in some primordial worlds with particularly harsh living conditions, slimes often existed.
Compared to temperature and water, they were more afraid of predators.
"A real man doesn’t fear the cold, grass."
The Straw Man patted its chest, indicating that it was okay.
"Maybe it’s because the grass brain doesn’t have the corresponding temperature sensing system."
Mossy Mushroom’s words were unclear whether he was stating a fact or simply insulting.
"But...your nose is running already."
Ree Shil couldn’t ignore the ice hanging from Straw Man’s face.
"It’s milk tea, grass!"
Straw Man wiped it away with its hand, putting on a brave face.
However, a new icicle quickly formed.
"Achoo, grass!"
A sneeze, ice splattering everywhere.
Show Director dodged with disgust and went on to introduce the place to everyone.
"The Holy Spirit Relic has an active period every year, and only during this time, there is a chance to obtain the Holy Spirit’s approval." freewebnøvel.coɱ
"However, the active period is a bit difficult to figure out, and a special instrument is needed to detect it."
"Tomorrow night is the beginning of the Holy Spirit Active Period, so the competition will start tomorrow night."
"During this time, the Club will rent the relic, so you don’t have to worry about anyone interrupting."
As the cable car went higher, Ree Shil felt the temperature dropping faster.
At this point, Straw Man was shivering, hugging its arms.
"Are you okay?"
Ree Shil couldn’t help but worry.
"Who’s not okay, grass!"
The stubborn Straw Man opened its body and took out a bottle of milk tea to warm itself up.
However, when it opened the cap, it found a thick layer of ice floating on top.
Not wanting to lose face, it tilted its head back and gulped it down.
"Woah, your face is frosted."
Mossy Mushroom noticed that its face was immediately covered with a pale white layer.
Soon after, when the cable car finally reached the summit, Straw Man had already frozen into a stick of grass.
With no other choice, Mossy Mushroom and Slame set foot on the summit and took the return cable car to send Straw Man back to defrost.
Meanwhile, Ree Shil followed Show Director’s footsteps, visiting the real Holy Spirit Relic.
The area at the mountain peak was vast and open to view.
The ground seemed to be covered in white, with about 5cm of snow, making walking slightly inconvenient.
They could see a group of robots busily setting up temporary facilities.
A large tent was taking shape.
"Curator, what are those things?"
However, Ree Shil’s attention was drawn to something else.
There were numerous stone statues of various shapes scattered across the peak, a total of eight.
Perhaps they were all originally delicately carved, but after many years, they were now worn and blurred, leaving only a rough outline behind.
