12: Chapter 12 First Place: Japanese Contestant Dies?!

The night grew even darker!

As the temperature on the island began to drop at night, many contestants who hadn't had time to build a camp were suffering miserably.

An Ke, however, was lying by the campfire, blissfully enjoying the warmth it provided.

Because he had collected plenty of dry firewood during the day, An Ke wasn't worried at all about the campfire going out.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was full of admiration for An Ke's foresight.

At the same time, they didn't forget to mock the Foreigners who had attacked the people of Dragon Country that morning.

On the very first day of the game, An Ke's performance brought great glory to Dragon Country.

Enveloped in warmth, An Ke fell into a sweet sleep.

Day and night alternated, and the next day soon arrived.

The morning birds were chirping away.

The audience flooded into the live broadcast room early, waiting for An Ke to wake up.

However, even when the sun was almost hanging directly overhead in the sky, An Ke still showed no sign of waking up.

In the program, Expert Cui, who had been waiting for several hours, became a bit impatient.

With a stern face, he scolded irritably, "Sleeping in while surviving in the wilderness, what kind of behavior is this?"

"He has no sense of crisis at all!!"

"If he only represented himself, being lazy would be his own business, and he'd bear the cost himself."

"But now he represents the entire Dragon Country. Acting like this shows he has no sense of responsibility at all."

Expert Cui had been face-slapped by An Ke several times yesterday.

Last night, he swore he would regain his face and establish his authority.

An Ke was giving him the perfect opportunity now, so naturally, he had to criticize him thoroughly.

Beside him, Coach Zhao nodded in agreement: "An Ke is indeed being a bit lazy."

"In wilderness survival, every minute and every second is extremely precious."

"Wasting time is pushing oneself toward the edge of death."

However, Liu Yifei, sitting to the side, frowned and spoke up:

"This has nothing to do with being lazy, does it?"

"An Ke worked quite hard yesterday and made a significant contribution to our Dragon Country."

"Many contestants from other countries are still hungry right now, or going crazy because they can't find a water source."

"Our An Ke isn't lacking anything right now."

Expert Cui wanted the Dragon Country Masses to resonate with him, but the masses all resonated with Liu Yifei instead.

An Ke's current situation was countless times better than those from other countries.

What was wrong with sleeping in a little?

No one had forgotten the contributions he brought to Dragon Country yesterday.

Expert Cui once again found himself at the center of public criticism.

Some even suspected he was a 'walking 500,000' spy.

Expert Cui was lectured until his face turned red, and he didn't dare to talk back.

After another hour or so, An Ke finally woke up slowly.

Immediately, he checked the progress bar of his [Natural Affinity].

Judging by the growth rate, An Ke felt it would take about six or seven days to level up.

The current [Natural Affinity] allowed An Ke to communicate with small creatures.

After upgrading, would he be able to communicate with medium-sized creatures, or even large ones?

He might even be able to communicate with ferocious carnivorous creatures.

He could make them submit to him.

An Ke was full of anticipation for this.

When that time really came, would he even need to collect resources himself?

After checking his attributes, An Ke looked for a suitable branch.

He peeled the bark off the branch and then went to the stream to start brushing his teeth and washing his face.

In the live broadcast room, the audience couldn't help but be amused.

"Look at our Dragon Country Contestant, even in the wilderness he's so refined."

"That Japanese Contestant got up early this morning and still hasn't brushed his teeth."

"He froze outside all night; right now he's desperate to find a hole to crawl into, would he be in the mood to brush his teeth?"

"Hahaha! How miserable!"

"..."

Although the Japanese Contestant had obtained prey very early on,

The subsequent search for water wasted too much time, resulting in his camp not being built.

So, he had to endure the night outside.

Now, his whole spirit was in a daze.

This made the Dragon Country Masses feel joyful, and they all started calling out to Japan.

However, the Japanese people who were clamoring in the live broadcast room yesterday were nowhere to be seen now.

They had all returned to their own live broadcast room to curse at their own contestant.

It was all because of his wrong decisions yesterday that led to today's pathetic state.

He had made them the laughingstock of other countries.

An Ke naturally knew nothing of this, and even if he did, it would only put him in a better mood.

After finishing his washing, a refreshed An Ke began preparing breakfast.

There was some river fish left from yesterday; combined with coconut meat and coconut milk, An Ke planned to just make do with breakfast for now.

Little did he know that such a combination already surpassed the contestants of other countries.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile: "An Ke has no idea that many contestants from other countries don't have breakfast to eat at all."

"A breakfast like his has already surpassed most contestants from other countries."

Sa Beining also laughed heartily.

If it weren't for being on a national-level program where he had to maintain his image, he would have wanted to mock those chirping Foreigners along with the netizens.

Just as An Ke finished his breakfast, the [national fortune system] suddenly appeared again, issuing an announcement to all contestants and the whole world.

[In yesterday's National Fortune Game, Dragon Country's Number One Player An Ke's status was the best among all contestants.]

[Congratulations to all citizens of Dragon Country for receiving a reward: Constitution +0.5.]

[Dragon Country Contestant An Ke receives a reward: Constitution +1.]

After the announcement was finished, beams of golden light erupted from people all over the country.

Under the golden light, everyone's constitution was improved.

In an instant, the whole country celebrated!

"What a surprise! I didn't expect another constitution increase!"

"Now, let alone one kilometer, even if I run two kilometers, I won't be out of breath."

"My grandfather originally had mobility issues, but now he can move freely. It's too miraculous! Thank you, An Ke!"

"Yes! We should thank An Ke!!"

"An Ke brought us everything!"

"An Ke, I love you!"

"An Ke! I want to have your babies!"

Some were happy, while others were distressed.

An idol angrily complained: "Why? Why didn't I get the reward? I'm a person of Dragon Country too, okay!"

Just as the masses were surprised, someone dug up this idol's nationality.

"You have the nerve to say that? After becoming famous, you changed your nationality to the Sun Never Sets country, and you even spoke up for foreign museums while criticizing domestic ones. You're an ungrateful fellow."

"What! So he's a Foreigner!"

"He doesn't even have Dragon Country nationality anymore, how does he have the nerve to ask for a reward?"

"If you want a reward, go beg your own country's contestant to work harder."

"Exactly!"

At this time, several other celebrities shamelessly sent bullet comments, hoping they could change back to Dragon Country nationality.

However, none of the Dragon Country Masses were buying it.

Meanwhile, An Ke also felt his constitution improve, and he felt in even better shape.

"Not bad! This way I can do even more things!"

The improvement in his constitution gave An Ke even more motivation.

Just as An Ke was about to start today's resource collection, the [national fortune system] announced again:

[Japanese Number One Contestant Santaro has died. Cause of death: Attacked by a venomous snake!]

An Ke smiled: "Oh ho! This is getting interesting."
