123: Chapter 123 Flintlock Pistol Parts!

At this moment, the mysterious reward caused the emotions of the Dragon Country Masses to soar even higher.

Almost the entire nation was celebrating, and the bullet comments were even more frantic.

Averaging tens of millions of messages every second.

It was hard to imagine how the live broadcast managed to stay lag-free with such a massive online viewership.

"Awesome!!! This feels so good!"

"A previous 0.5 increase in constitution let me break various world records one after another; now it's increased by 1..."

"From now on, I'm afraid all the major world record lists will be occupied by us Dragon Country people."

"Waaaah! I'm tearing up. My grandmother, who loves me the most, she... she stood up from her hospital bed!"

"My grandfather too!! My grandfather has also become full of life and energy!"

"Thank you, Boss An. You are the hero of our Dragon Country, our deity. My son can speak to me again."

"..."

The National Fortune Game increased lifespans by 10 years.

This caused many people who were on their deathbeds or suffering from severe illnesses to recover one after another.

This power was miraculous, forcibly granting them 10 years of life.

Moreover, during this period, they would not suffer from the torment of their original diseases.

Even cancer patients could live like normal people.

This led to scenes of reunions between friends and family all across Dragon Country.

Parents recovered, able to provide companionship once more.

Critically ill children recovered, allowing parents to watch them grow up again.

Grandparents, best friends... miracles were happening everywhere in Dragon Country!

Although they would still fall critically ill and pass away in ten years if no further rewards were obtained during that time.

But what did that matter?

At least for now, they had their company...

"An Ke!"

"Boss An!"

"Deity of Dragon Country!!"

"A true god in the real world!!!"

"..."

In every corner of Dragon Country, everyone celebrated for An Ke!!

In some regions, people even began crafting statues of An Ke to be placed in the most prominent locations.

This was their way of paying tribute to the contributions An Ke had made.

Of course! While some rejoiced, others grieved.

Those celebrities or wealthy individuals within Dragon Country who had changed their nationality early on were now filled with regret.

Everything was going fine, so why on earth did they change their nationality?

Now look at them—every single benefit that Dragon Country citizens could receive, they missed out on entirely.

Remorse flooded their hearts.

These people wanted to rejoin Dragon Country's nationality.

However, while it was easy to leave, it was difficult to enter.

Especially given the current special circumstances.

In the live broadcast.

An Ke returned the bow and arrow and the spear to Little Scar and the others.

Weapons like these had to be kept on one's person to deal with attacks that could happen at any time.

Looking at the animals who were still in a daze, An Ke clapped his hands to get their attention.

"Next, we'll take a short break to recover our strength."

After saying that, An Ke took out various foods from his Portable Space.

This made the animals ecstatic.

They were indeed exhausted after traveling all this way.

So, for the next while, An Ke and the group of animals began a "picnic" on the edge of the sea cliff.

They replenished their energy while enjoying the scenery and the sea breeze.

Just as An Ke was halfway through eating, Three Hairs came to his side.

Its tiny hand cautiously touched An Ke's arm, and then it said, "Master, Little Mouse found a great treasure."

"Guess what it is?"

"Not guessing!" An Ke said decisively.

Three Hairs was stunned, then looked at An Ke with pleading eyes and said, "Actually, Little Mouse doesn't know what it is either."

An Ke was speechless; it was a good thing he hadn't tried to guess.

If even Three Hairs, the one involved, didn't know, how could he?

"But Little Mouse thought it looked useful, so I brought it back."

After speaking, Three Hairs wiggled its butt and picked up the item it had found.

Initially, An Ke was bored and didn't care much.

However, when he saw the item the Hamster had brought back, his pupils suddenly constricted.

"Bullets!?"

To be precise, they were several Flintlock bullets.

An Ke's tone became urgent. "Three Hairs, where did you find these?"

The Hamster pointed to a spot not far away.

It was under a bush, similar to the hiding spot of the suspected "Key Card" from before.

Was it man-made?

After all, if it was hidden in a bush, it couldn't have just fallen there naturally, right?

And it certainly couldn't have grown out of thin air.

An Ke quickly stood up and went to the bushes to continue digging.

He wanted to see if he could find other things.

Like a Flintlock gun!!

While he was digging, Three Hairs wiggled its butt and walked over.

It said to An Ke, "Master, no need to look anymore."

"There's nothing else here."

Just as Three Hairs said, An Ke indeed didn't dig up anything else.

He couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Bullets without a gun were useless.

Furthermore, a firearm could reveal a lot of things, such as where it came from and what model it was.

From that, he could infer a lot of useful information.

An Ke looked at the bullets; there was no information on them.

The trail had gone cold.

At that moment, Three Hairs asked curiously, "Master, are you very interested in this thing?"

Because An Ke was deep in thought, he nodded casually.

But the Hamster's next sentence pulled An Ke back to reality:

"Little Mouse has something made of similar material in my nest."

"If you're interested, Little Mouse will give it to you when we get back."

"You have more??" An Ke suddenly looked at the Hamster again.

"What does that thing look like? Is it another bullet like this one?"

The Hamster shook its head and described the structure of the object in its nest to An Ke.

An Ke listened very intently, and eventually, he judged it to be the frame of a Flintlock.

That is, the gun body.

In other words, An Ke now had two parts of a Flintlock gun!

As long as he could find the other parts—or even just a few more essential components—

An Ke could assemble a Flintlock gun.

In the wilderness, the most difficult part of making a firearm was the craftsmanship.

Metal needed to be shaped and forged.

And in the wilderness, there was simply no way to accomplish that.

But if he could gather the hard-to-make parts and substitute the simpler ones with something else,

Then assembling a firearm would be simple.

An Ke couldn't help but lick his lips, getting a bit excited.

Since he could find two, it meant there were definitely other parts.

Finding these parts on the entire island was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, An Ke had the Hamster!

This little thing was a top-tier expert at finding things!!

As long as he kept taking this little thing around, he would eventually be able to gather all the parts to assemble the Flintlock.

"Three Hairs, great job!"

"I'll give you an extra chicken leg later!"

"Little Mouse doesn't like eating chicken legs~"

Outside, there was also an uproar in the live broadcast room.

The appearance of Flintlock parts undoubtedly shocked the world.

"Holy shit! Why are there Flintlock parts on the island?"

"An Ke already has bodyguards and is hard enough to kill. If he gets a gun... won't that be the end of it?"

"We absolutely cannot let him have a firearm, otherwise the rest of our countries won't even be able to play."

"Exactly! An Ke will definitely threaten our National Destiny Bearers."

"Can the higher-ups think of a way?"

"..."

An Ke having the parts to assemble a Flintlock undoubtedly made the Foreigners feel nervous.
