Chapter 72 A Crazy Plan Formed Out Of Desperation
"Ababbaba, is this real life? AH, Fuckkk! COLD!!!!" A lot of things went through Aoni's mind within a few seconds, like, wow, 75 free points, and HOLY SHIT, 4.5%, but all of that was overridden by a sudden, bitter cold, not unlike he had felt the first day he arrived on Genovia.
He immediately collapsed on the rocky mountainside and curled into a ball, at first, because he was incapable of doing anything other than shivering and chattering his teeth.
Shifting from one extreme to another wasn't anything like changing the gears of a bicycle; no, this was like going from feeling so full you were gonna burst to being dropped into an icy lake naked, two extremes but equally dangerous.
It was this shock to the lad's system that left him unable to move while stuck in the fetal position for several minutes.
'Plan, my plan, think about the plan; this is just like climbing the mountain when I first got here; I need to put one foot forward and keep moving.' Unaware that he had been curled up on the ground for forty-five minutes, Aoni summoned forth his willpower and slowly stretched out his body.
"You're *clack clack* stronger than this... get up, do some *chatter chatter* fucking jumping jacks, and GET MOVING!" Surging to his feet, the lad stood perfectly still, arms dangling and back hunched over while muttering to himself like a crazy person.@@@@
Clenching his jaw so as to stop his teeth from chattering and clacking, Aoni shot upright, sucked in a sharp, chilly yet painful breath, and did a single jumping jack...then a second, then before he knew it, he'd made it through fifty.
From there, he moved on to a more difficult exercise, burpees, which combined jumping jacks and push-ups with a straight upward jump.
But when even that last one proved ineffective at dulling the chill permeating through his body, he knew there was no point in continuing with calisthenics, and it was time for step two of his plan. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire
'Fucking...god...damn...snowshoes!'
Now look, it wasn't that Aoni was stupid, okay, maybe a little bit, but given how his entire life was being thrown at him in the form of one fastball followed by a curveball and a literal fuck ton of decisions all at once, certain things may slip his mind from time to time.
The simple means of transportation happened to be one of them, considering his primary concern at the time of making the sled was actually the bitter cold outside and making speedy trips.
Had he been able to withstand the freezing temperatures for a prolonged period, then maybe Aoni would have concluded that he could just make some snow shoes; after all, he had the resources to do so, however given the fact that up until recently, even staying outside longer than 10 minutes proved dangerous, it wasn't exactly intelligent to WALK AROUND FOR HOURS!
'Fuck it, I will worry about that later; for now, swim...' Shaking his head and accidentally getting some snow in his nose, Aoni sneezed softly before wiggling his body like a worm and sliding his arms and legs around until...one inch...two....ONE FOOT, FIVE! His body rapidly accelerated like a penguin, and he took off down the mountain slope!
This was step two: get equidistant from the platform as the size of the platform itself, and as the lad spun around on his back, his eyes locked onto the fading mountain peak, where his home resided, until he believed himself to be far enough away, and pumped the breaks.
Or, in this case, he used what little strength he had to stab his arms and legs into the snow!
"Ahh...HURTS...COLD...DAMN...IT...ALLL!" Feeling as if his limbs were going to snap due to the rapid loss of momentum, Aoni had finally reached the third and final step of his idiotic plan and...
'INCREASE MY MOTHER FUCKING RANK POTENTIAL!' he screamed the upgrade command into his mind, instantly receiving the response he was hoping for.
