124: Chapter 124: A Mouse's Paradise!!!

An Ke was already nearly invincible; what would happen now that he had firearms?

What if he just started hunting other countries' National Destiny Bearers with a gun on a whim?

In response to the Foreigners' worries, the Dragon Country Masses retorted:

"Do you think our Dragon Country is like your foreign countries?"

"'Free' America, a shooting every day."

"Our Dragon Country is a land of propriety and righteousness."

"For those who don't listen, we just go 'bang bang bang'."

"If you don't believe us, just ask the Ah San; they know all about it."

Ah San netizen: "Don't drag us into this."

"..."

Although the Foreigners strongly condemned Dragon Country and demanded that the Dragon Country High Command must send a bullet comment to An Ke,

ordering him to give up the Flintlock parts.

However, Elder Li and the other Dragon Country High Command simply ignored them.

What a joke!

You say give up, so we just give up?

Dragon Country's National Fortune is now number one in the world; who are we afraid of?

The last words Elder Li said during his call with the Lighthouse President "Sleepy Joe" were:

"President Joe, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."

This sentence left President Joe utterly humiliated, yet there was nothing he could do.

He could only hang up the phone and angrily curse that bastard Trump for giving him such a nickname.

Back in the live broadcast.

Realizing he might be able to assemble a gun, An Ke was beyond happy.

Although he currently had many animal companions,

and their combat power was off the charts, capable of handling many problems.

But it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Some dangers are beyond the animals' ability to handle, and with a gun, An Ke's combat effectiveness would greatly increase.

After all, guns are the "Great Equalizer."

It could solve terrifying beasts unaffected by his 【Natural Affinity】.

At critical moments, it could reduce or even prevent casualties.

Don't forget, the crocodile had said there existed a huge threat in the Far East.

Even the giant crocodile wouldn't dare approach it lightly...

Besides this latest piece of news,

there were still the previously vanished corpses, the destroyed traps by the sea, and the "Moon's Surveillance"... and other mysteries whose causes An Ke hadn't yet investigated.

Who knew what dangers truly existed on this Giant Island.

An Ke subconsciously licked his lips.

Although having a gun was a good thing,

thinking about it carefully was actually terrifying.

Why did gun parts exist on this island?

Was something placed here?

Or were these gun parts actually the hidden rewards mentioned by the 【National Fortune Game】?

An Ke hoped it was the latter because if it was,

then it meant the source of the firearm wasn't dangerous.

But if it was the former... then things could be very bad.

Since there was a Flintlock, could there be other firearms?

Revolvers? Pistols? Semi-automatic Rifles?

These would be far more terrifying than a Flintlock.

Because the firing procedure for a Flintlock was too troublesome.

"Little friend, what are you sneakily doing here?"

A voice came from behind. An Ke turned his head.

He saw Old Crocodile looking at him curiously, and at the Flintlock parts in his hand.

"What is this?" Old Crocodile tilted its head, asking curiously.

"The Great Equalizer," An Ke replied.

Old Crocodile: "???"

It couldn't understand An Ke's words.

Frowning, it said, "Little friend, how can all beings be equal?"

"Some animals are destined from birth to be food for others."

"And some predators, with a single misstep, can meet an irreversible doom."

"No matter the animal, from the moment of birth, it's all unfair."

An Ke nodded slightly.

He quite agreed with Old Crocodile's words.

When has the world ever been equal?

However, firearms truly are the Great Equalizer.

Whether it's 'that one' or this one, a few 'biubiubiu's, and they become corpses.

Old Crocodile's main purpose for coming over wasn't actually curiosity, but to find out An Ke's next plan.

It wanted to know, now that An Ke had reached the northernmost point, where did he plan to go next?

An Ke answered without hesitation: "Back!"

Old Crocodile clearly raised an eyebrow. At the same time, Sister-in-law Crocodile also moved closer.

"Little friend, aren't you going to explore the island anymore?" Old Crocodile asked somewhat anxiously.

Sister-in-law Crocodile, beside it, chimed in: "Yes! Little friend."

"Didn't you say you were going to explore the island?"

"There are still many places on this island left unexplored."

Although Sister-in-law Crocodile had hardly ever left the lake and didn't know the outside world,

that wasn't important. What was important was that An Ke *must* explore the island...

An Ke's heart stirred slightly, and the corner of his mouth lifted imperceptibly. He understood now.

So the crocodile couple was afraid they wouldn't get barbecue to eat in the future.

He couldn't help but laugh, patting the crocodile's snout as he said:

"Old Croc, of course I'm going to continue exploring."

"You and Sister-in-law can rest assured. From now on, you'll follow me and be my guides."

"I'll let you eat barbecue every day."

Hearing this, the Old Crocodile Couple was overjoyed.

With An Ke's promise, they were indeed reassured.

They wouldn't have to worry about missing out on delicious food in the future.

"Wahaha! The one who knows me best is you, little friend!" Old Crocodile laughed heartily.

Although its laughter was somewhat ferocious, being a crocodile and all.

Sister-in-law Crocodile was also ecstatic, trying to get closer:

"Little friend, from now on, This mother is your personal bodyguard."

"Ride me, do whatever you want, it's up to you."

"This mother is 180 years old, any position is available for development!"

"Anyway, whatever you find comfortable, go for it."

An Ke: "..."

What just happened? It felt like something just ran over his face.

Of course! He understood Sister-in-law Crocodile didn't mean it *that* way.

Putting aside the wild thoughts, An Ke smiled and said, "Welcome to our big family!"

"Wahahaha! What can relieve my worries? Only you, little friend!"

Old Crocodile was incredibly happy.

It immediately expressed its desire to go hunt for prey.

Now that An Ke had "magic" to store things,

prey was the kind of thing where the more, the better. No fear of not being able to carry it.

So they could take advantage of this rest period to catch more.

That way, they'd have it on hand for unexpected needs during the journey.

An Ke didn't stop them. He did plan to rest here a bit longer.

So he let the Old Crocodile Couple go off to hunt.

As for himself, he began studying the Flintlock.

He now had the bullets and the Gun Body from the Hamster nest back at Camp No. 1.

What he still lacked was the iron Barrel and the Trigger Mechanism.

And the most crucial component: Gunpowder.

Apart from the iron Barrel, An Ke could make all the other things himself.

Therefore, if he could get a Barrel next time, An Ke could assemble the Flintlock ahead of schedule.

He could then slowly search for the remaining parts and replace them later.

Thinking of this, An Ke immediately decided to reward the biggest contributor: Three Hairs!

He activated his 【Natural Affinity】, causing the nearby Mealworms to crawl over on their own.

Over a dozen minutes later, the grass was swarming with a vast, dark mass of wriggling Mealworms.

Some of these insects crawled on the ground, while others climbed onto blades of grass, standing half upright.

The Hamster stared at so much food, frozen in place.

"Is this... Little Mouse's paradise?"

However, outside, in the live broadcast room, chaos erupted.

Seeing so many insects, everyone's goosebumps stood on end.
