10: Chapter 10: A Super Seafood Feast! This can't be an ordinary college student!

This time, An Ke's movements on the way back to the camp were significantly bolder than at the start.

After all, he had obtained the [Poison Immunity Constitution], so he didn't need to worry about poisonous insect bites.

This scene made the Foreigners in the Dragon Country Live Stream Room incredibly envious.

The contestants from their own countries had to move forward with extreme caution, fearing they might be bitten and lose their lives.

This led to a lot of time and energy being wasted.

Yet, this kid from Dragon Country was able to stroll leisurely through the tropical jungle filled with poisonous insects and snakes.

It was as if it were his own little garden.

Of course, the Foreigners wouldn't type such thoughts into the bullet comment.

After all, it would be too embarrassing.

Because of the [Poison Immunity Constitution], An Ke's walking speed was several times faster than before.

A journey that previously took over an hour was now more than halved.

When An Ke returned to the camp he had built, the bullet comment section generally felt he would likely stop to rest.

"Student An Ke has done well enough!"

"It's time to rest!"

"Exactly! If he doesn't rest, I'll actually feel bad for him!"

"..."

Because of An Ke's previous performance and contributions.

His status in the hearts of the citizens was quite high, and their tolerance for him had greatly increased.

Everyone hoped An Ke could take a break.

However, An Ke didn't stop for a single moment.

Because he wasn't sure if the mission had a time limit.

If the Foreigners beat him to it and finished the mission to get the reward...

...it would be too late for regrets.

An Ke first placed the items he had gathered onto a flat stone slab.

This flat stone slab had already been cleaned by An Ke.

In the program, Sa Beining couldn't help but praise, "I admire this young man, An Ke, more and more."

"He acts with foresight and great wisdom!"

Beside him, Kang Hui also couldn't help but nod in approval.

"I was wondering earlier why An Ke was cleaning the stone slab."

"Now I finally have the answer."

The national goddess Liu Yifei chimed in, "It seems An Ke was confident from the start that he could get seafood."

"He truly is a remarkable man."

"His boyfriend material level is off the charts."

"..."

"It's over, it's over! Look at the goddess's eyes; the admiration is practically overflowing."

"Stop it! I bet fifty cents that it's just pure admiration!"

"Exactly! It's definitely admiration, not romantic affection."

"..."

An Ke, inside the [National Fortune Wilderness Game], naturally didn't know any of this.

Using the materials he had just collected, he began to drill wood to make fire.

At this point, Expert Cui began to explain, trying to prove his professionalism.

"Drilling wood for fire seems simple, but it's actually extremely difficult."

"It requires rich experience and skill; even top wilderness survival masters find it hard to succeed on the first try."

"Coach Zhao, wouldn't you agree?"

Coach Zhao didn't answer immediately but took a serious look at the live stream.

Only after confirming that An Ke hadn't started the fire yet did he dare to speak up.

"Correct! Even someone like me, with hundreds or thousands of experiences starting fires, finds it difficult to succeed on the first attempt."

"Although An Ke's posture is very correct, he lacks experience."

"I'm afraid it will be very hard to get this fire going."

However, what everyone didn't know was that An Ke's [Fire-making Proficiency] was constantly increasing.

In less than a minute, blue smoke began to curl up.

Seeing this, Coach Zhao's eyes widened.

Again? Is this guy using a cheat code?

On-site, Professor Wu said in surprise, "Everyone, Student An Ke is close to succeeding!"

"The blue smoke indicates the temperature has reached the point where it can ignite."

"Once a spark appears, the fire will start."

"This is also the most critical step; if handled improperly, all previous efforts will be in vain."

Professor Wu's words made everyone's hearts leap into their throats.

Everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hoping for a spark to appear.

Soon, a tiny red dot appeared on the screen, and in the next second, it instantly ignited the nearby dry grass.

It turned into a flame.

An Ke had obtained fire!

He didn't dally, immediately feeding in the prepared withered grass and dry wood.

As the flames burned, a campfire was formed.

As the red flames appeared on the screen, the Dragon Country Masses immediately burst into cheers.

It was as if this was the result of their collective efforts.

They felt a strong sense of participation; their prayers had come true!

Fire has always represented the light of hope.

While rejoicing, everyone was filled with emotion.

"What other skills does An Ke have?"

"I'm curious where someone so young got so many skills."

"If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to start a fire even if I rubbed the skin off my hands."

"Be more confident; you wouldn't even get blue smoke."

"Haters, speak up!"

"Haha! Lighthouse Country, do you want our Dragon Country to give you some fire?"

"Call us 'Daddy' and we'll give it to you!"

Although the Lighthouse Country's contestant had obtained prey, he hadn't succeeded in starting a fire for a long time.

With a campfire, Dragon Country undoubtedly had the capital to suppress the Lighthouse Country's arrogance.

On the screen, An Ke then built a simple barbecue rack.

Then, he used a cleaned branch to pierce the entire grouper from head to tail.

Finally, he placed it over the campfire to roast.

Once finished, An Ke set up another small campfire.

With some effort, he brought over a smaller, flatter stone slab.

Immediately after, he placed the Swimming Crabs and shellfish directly on top to roast.

As time passed, the food began to make a "sizzling" sound as the oil bubbled, making everyone's mouth water.

In the live broadcast room, everyone looked at the grilled fish, as well as the cooking Swimming Crabs and shellfish, and expressed that they couldn't take it anymore.

"Looking at this makes me hungry!"

"The person upstairs, watch your drool; it's dripping on me!"

"Damn! I want to eat a seafood feast too!"

"Sigh! In today's ecological environment, there's almost no life in the shallow seas..."

Every time this topic came up, Japan would become the target of public criticism.

They were scolded so much they didn't dare show their faces.

In the program, Professor Wu licked his lips and said with a chuckle, "Even this old man is getting cravings just watching."

Liu Yifei nodded, indicating she also really wanted to eat.

She even swallowed her saliva, making the bullet comment section erupt with amusement.

They teased that the goddess was truly a foodie.

Coach Zhao quickly chimed in with a serious expression, "Student An Ke is indeed remarkable; I underestimated him."

"For wilderness survival, An Ke's dinner has already surpassed the expert contestants from most countries."

Just then, the [national fortune system] began a real-time broadcast of the current contestants' situations.

[Japan's No. 1 contestant ate a coconut crab to barely stave off hunger and is currently worrying about the camp.]

[Lighthouse Country's No. 1 contestant solved the dinner problem and is now anxious to find fresh water.]

[...]

The real-time broadcast let the Dragon Country Masses know all about the current situations of Japan and Lighthouse Country.

Everyone felt a surge of satisfaction.

They began to strike back at the Foreigners in the live broadcast room, and some even went directly to the live broadcast rooms of Japan, Lighthouse Country, and others.

As the broadcast continued, there were even more miserable contestants.

They couldn't find food or water, and hadn't even chosen a place for a crude shelter.

In the end, a small number of contestants from some countries died accidentally.

Their entire nations received punishment, with their lifespans reduced by five years.

For a time, a large number of deaths occurred within those countries.

In comparison, An Ke was simply too comfortable!

At this moment, Expert Cui said coldly, "Don't over-glamorize An Ke."

"An Ke's success today is mostly due to good luck."

"Those fish and crabs didn't even run when they saw him..."

However, before he could finish, he was forcefully interrupted by Professor Wu.

"Expert Cui, I seriously doubt your professionalism."

"Didn't you see An Ke's climbing skills and his fire-making...?"

"These undoubtedly show that An Ke relies on strength."

Liu Yifei also had a look of disgust, but since it was on a show, she couldn't be too blunt.

She could only say tactfully, "Expert Cui, if it were you..."

"...could you have made so many contributions to Dragon Country in less than a day?"

Expert Cui's face turned the color of pig liver, and he remained silent.
