In fact, the reason why we could see before was because this place is high enough.

If we were at the foot of the mountain, it would be impossible to see.

After all, it's snowing at the foot of the mountain.

Here, above the clouds, there's a mysterious force enveloping it, and there's no snow accumulation.

"Should we prepare something in advance?"

Jiayan was somewhat worried upon learning that a powerful alien civilization might enter this world.

"Of course we should prepare, but just strengthening our abilities is enough, let's work hard to enhance our strength."

Yang Yuan thought for a while and said, "And the way we enhance our strength is by getting a tool that's capable of seeing far enough—maybe we can get a telescope to upgrade."

But would using a telescope to target something with the Marvel arm crossbow still provide an Aim Assistance Effect?

If it does, that would be great.

The range and power of the Marvel arm crossbow would be further enhanced.

Later in the night, the two didn't speak again, just continued to seriously brush up on experience points for the crossbow while waiting for daybreak.

After daybreak, Jiang Yiyi woke up and joined in.

By noon, when Yan Chenggong hadn't woken up, Jiayan suddenly said, "Come to think of it, today is New Year's Day, let me make something delicious."

"With this sandstorm, here?" Yang Yuan was astonished.

"Aren't you able to collect all the sand blown over? It's up to you; if sand falls into the pot, it's your responsibility," said Jiayan.

"...So, being a capable person means handling more responsibilities better?"

Yang Yuan was helpless, but he also missed New Year, so he took on the challenging task.

Next, he brought out all the furniture, along with various kitchen utensils and food.

He maintained the task of collecting all sand entering the area while continuing to brush up experience for the Golden Arm Crossbow.

Meanwhile, Jiayan was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

Due to meticulous preparation, the meal was finished by around eight o'clock in the evening.

Because there were so many dishes to prepare, Jiayan also had Yang Yuan take out a printer to assemble a large round table.

The three sat by the Safe House, bracing against the strong wind, drinking beverages.

Speaking of which, those beverages were originally purchased from Yao Jun, the logistics manager of the thirteenth team at the time.

Back then, Yao Jun considered these items high-end luxuries and sold quite a few to Yang Yuan.

After coming to the thirty-eighth team, Jiayan wanted to buy some more but found they didn't sell such luxuries here at all.

"Come on, Yang Yuan, Yiyi, let's toast to having today every year, this day every year,"

Jiayan raised a bowl full of beverage, smiling, "The first bowl should be drunk in one gulp, as a ceremony, and also a celebration of having the chance to celebrate New Year after coming to this world."

"Alright." Yang Yuan smiled and joined in the fun, also raising his bowl.

Jiang Yiyi excitedly raised her bowl and clinked it with the two, enjoying the festive atmosphere which seemed familiar in her memories.

"Ding!" "Ding!" "Ding!"

The three bowls collided, and the clear beverages inside rippled and splashed tiny waves.

This scene deeply imprinted in her memory.

The three of them gulped down the beverages.

Jiayan again poured the bottles into three bowls until full, then laughed, "The New Year's Eve dinner officially begins. Yiyi, get what you want, there are a lot of dishes tonight, we have to finish them all."

"Yes, yes." Jiang Yiyi happily rushed around... She was too short, the table too big, to get to dishes on the other side, she had to walk over.

Because they were drinking and chatting, the meal lasted more than two hours, ending only close to midnight.

Although the food had cooled down towards the end, the three were strong enough not to worry about upsetting stomachs.

After dinner, Jiayan took out a large bowl of 'happy nuts', looking at a mechanical watch, peeling the nuts as if preparing for New Year's Eve vigil.

Of course, they weren't Earth World's happy nuts, but the wild fruit kernels from this world, gathered who knows when.

The three ate 'happy nuts', idly watching the Mountain God Temple's direction.

"Poof!"

Suddenly—

Just at the stroke of midnight, Jiayan seemed to notice something extraordinary, and in a burst of excitement crushed the 'happy nut' she was holding.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yuan urgently followed Jiayan's gaze and saw the Mountain God Temple's plaque, where the number that should have been '97' suddenly changed.
