222: Chapter 218 Deduction

A few minutes after the Acid Rain Season was released.

Inside the Symphony Realm, the discussion among the Yanhuang Survivors quickly shifted from panic to calm analysis.

Major organizations held livestreams and released official posts to reassure everyone, while Survivors who specialized in analyzing matters on the Fate Platform also offered calm insights to alleviate the general anxiety.

However, things were not looking good for the Survivors from other civilizations.

Posts from different civilization factions poured in like a tidal wave. Some were in despair, some were furious, and some had already begun calculating how many days they had left to live.

Victoria's long post, pleading with the Fate Master to grant more permissions, was pinned like a nail right at the center of the information feed, with the number of likes already exceeding eight hundred million.

Then came Igor. Solomon. Fritz. Jack. Emily.

One after another.

The powerhouses of the other civilizations, those names that went back and forth with Yanhuang experts on the Individual Sequence Contest rankings, had all set aside their pride.

Yang Hang looked at these posts, his expression very calm.

Not indifferent. Just calm.

Yang Hang actually quite appreciated Victoria.

First, she was very strong; second, her personality was quite good; third, she had an impressive temperament.

Ahem, there was also a fourth reason: she was indeed very beautiful, like an exquisite doll—slender yet curvaceous, with a tall, graceful figure.

Especially after the Gold Tier sword of the sea continuously strengthened and optimized her, she seemed to radiate a dazzling glow at all times, possessing an ethereal temperament.

He, the dignified Fate Master, also enjoyed looking at her.

Victoria was right.

This Acid Rain Season was a massacre for the Survivors of other civilizations.

Over eighty percent of the other civilizations' Houseboats were Rotten Wood Class. Over eighty percent of their equipment was Rotten Wood Class. With a month of acid rain, what could they possibly use to withstand it?

Then came the sensation caused by the Revival Society's announcement of the "Yanhuang Civilization Acid Rain Season Joint Response Conference" ten minutes later.

After reading this, Yang Hang scrolled through the feedback from the Survivors on the Fate Platform for a while before withdrawing his consciousness from the Symphony Realm.

Then, he did one thing.

He mobilized the Power of Causality.

His eyes glowed with a white light, and his pupils turned into slowly rotating white vortices. He was deducing.

He was not deducing the fate of a single person, but rather the impact of an impending climate change covering the entire Magic Sea on all Survivors.

The Power of Causality operated at high speed within the vortex of white light, simulating hundreds of possible development paths. Yang Hang looked through them one by one.

First, in the case of non-interference. The situation for the Yanhuang Civilization Survivors was better than he had anticipated.

With the help of the Causality Enhancement Realm and the Karmic Trading Realm, the Houseboats of the vast majority of Yanhuang Survivors had already been upgraded to Bronze Grade. In the Early Stages of this Acid Rain Season, the Houseboats of the few Survivors with rotten wood class houseboats would begin to corrode.

But due to the Yanhuang Civilization's powerful organizational capability, with the Revival Society taking the lead and thousands of organizations working in tandem, during the twelve days before the Acid Rain Season formally entered its downpour phase, by reasonably utilizing the bank's karma points, the remaining 0.001% of Survivors with rotten wood class houseboats would be uniformly upgraded to Bronze Grade.

For the first twelve days, the Yanhuang Civilization would suffer almost no casualties.

From the twelfth to the seventeenth day, the acid rain would turn from a drizzle into a downpour. Survivors with Bronze Grade Houseboats would have to hunker down inside their cabins, constantly using the magic sea compass to avoid the irritable sea beasts appearing in the upper layers of the sea.

Survivors with Silver Grade strength or higher and large organizations would take this opportunity to hunt the sea beasts lured to the shallows by the acid rain on a massive scale.

They discovered that the flesh and blood of the sea beasts soaked in acid rain had powerful nourishing properties, and could even strengthen one's talent and Physical Body upon consumption. This was a hunting feast exclusive to the strong.

From the seventeenth to the twenty-fifth day, the acid rain would pour down like a waterfall, like the sky collapsing, making it impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face. Silver Grade Survivors would begin to feel the erosion of the acid rain and stop going out on a large scale.

Large organizations and Silver Grade experts would all shift to defense, with only some Gold Tier Survivors able to continue hunting high-level sea beasts in the acid rain. By this time, medium and low-level sea beasts on the sea surface would be almost extinct.

From the twenty-fifth to the thirtieth day, the acid rain would show no signs of abating, only increasing.

Under long-term erosion, the material properties of Bronze Grade Houseboats would begin to suffer structural damage.

At this stage, if attacked by sea beasts, heavily eroded Houseboats could collapse at any moment. The Yanhuang Civilization would begin to see a small number of deaths due to Houseboat destruction.

On the last day of the Acid Rain Season, large batches of berserk high-level sea beasts and over a dozen berserk, super-high-level overlord-class sea beasts would appear simultaneously, ravaging the entire Magic Sea. The Revival Society would lead the registered Gold Tier experts from various major organizations to provide targeted support and interception.

The final result: one dead and over a dozen injured in the Yanhuang Civilization.

One death, over a dozen serious injuries. Compared to the miserable state of other civilizations under the "non-interference" state, this number was so small it could almost be ignored.

Yang Hang's gaze shifted to the other civilizations. Still non-interference.

Starting from the tenth day, Survivors with rotten wood class houseboats from other civilizations would begin to die out on a massive scale. Over eighty percent of the rotten wood class houseboats would be completely destroyed under the continuous erosion of the acid rain.

Without boats, without the Causality Enhancement Realm, without the Karmic Trading Realm, and without organized rescue, they could only drift on the sea, barely piecing together a palm-sized foothold using the remaining Rotten Wood Class fragments and anything that could float salvaged from the sunken sea. Then, in the acid rain, they would fall one by one.

On the eighteenth day, all Survivors with rotten wood class houseboats would be wiped out. Survivors with Bronze Grade Houseboats would begin to die in large numbers—without the Enhancement Realm, their Bronze Grade equipment would have its durability exhausted under long-term acid rain erosion and would be shattered at the slightest touch by berserk sea beasts.

The death rate would exceed fifty percent.

On the twenty-fifth day, the acid rain would reach its peak. Over one-third of Silver Grade Survivors would die. Silver Grade experts would be caught in a pincer attack by both acid rain and sea beasts while going out to fight high-level sea beasts, with several dying in battle.

When the Acid Rain Season ended, the population of other civilizations would have plummeted by over seventy percent. Yang Hang silently noted this number.

Then, he deduced a second scenario. Opening the magic sea compass to other civilizations.

The extinction time for Survivors with rotten wood class houseboats would be delayed from the tenth day to the twelfth day—the extra two days were the result of the magic sea compass helping them more accurately avoid sea beast attacks and extreme weather. But in the end, they would still be wiped out; it just meant fewer people would have died in those two days.

The death rate for Bronze Grade Survivors would drop from over fifty percent to one-third. The death rate for Silver Grade Survivors would drop from one-third to one-tenth. Two Gold Tier Survivors would die.

Yang Hang then deduced a third scenario. Opening the magic sea compass, the Causality Enhancement Realm, and the Karmic Trading Realm to other civilizations.

Fifty percent of Survivors with rotten wood class houseboats would survive—the lucky ones among them would upgrade their Houseboats from Rotten Wood Class to Bronze Grade through the Causality Enhancement Realm and survive. The other fifty percent would still die. The death rate for Bronze Grade would be ten percent. The death rate for Silver Grade would be five percent. Two Gold Tier Survivors would still die. No change.

The fourth scenario. Opening the magic sea compass, the Causality Enhancement Realm, the Karmic Trading Realm, and the Combat Assist System completely, without setting any additional threshold restrictions.

Seventy percent of Survivors with rotten wood class houseboats would survive. The death rate for Bronze Grade would be seven percent. The death rate for Silver Grade would be three percent. Two Gold Tier Survivors would still die, no change.
