13: Chapter 13: Ten Thousand Poisonous Snakes Descend on Japan! A Delicious Breakfast!

Japan's Number One Contestant, Santaro.

Because he didn't build a camp last night, he had to endure the whole night awake.

This left him cold, hungry, and in a daze by morning.

Later, while searching for food and water, he had a rare stroke of luck and found a water source in no time.

There were even many schools of fish in the water.

Santaro was instantly overjoyed, feeling that today was his lucky day.

The Japanese masses were also beyond happy, feeling that they had a chance to take first place today.

Previously, An Ke had only eaten some raw fish and coconuts, and the Dragon Country people were already gloating.

Now, their country's contestant, Santaro, had not only found a water source...

But it also had fish, shrimp, and Stone Snails; this was a truly sumptuous feast.

The Japanese were just about to head to the Dragon Country Live Stream Room to gloat when, unexpectedly, their own contestant was attacked by a venomous snake coiled by the river.

Already in a poor state, he couldn't react at all, and his foot was bitten hard.

The snake's toxin took effect immediately, and in a short while, the Japanese contestant was declared dead.

At this moment in Japan, looking at their own Santaro lying motionless on the ground...

Everyone was stunned.

"Wait! What's the situation?"

"How did he just die?"

"We just found a turning point, and then this happens?"

"How are we supposed to go to the Dragon Country Live Stream Room and gloat now?"

"..."

There was no need for the Japanese to go to the Dragon Country Live Stream Room to gloat.

A large number of the Dragon Country Masses heard the news and rushed over to watch the show, and the live broadcast room was instantly flooded with Dragon Country bullet comments.

"There's a saying in Dragon Country: extreme joy begets sorrow!"

"I admit, the breakfast your Japan found is indeed more sumptuous than our Dragon Country's An Ke's, but it's a pity your contestant can't eat it."

"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter. You still wanted to come to our live broadcast room and gloat? Well, we're here, why don't you gloat now?"

"Respect for the dead. As a land of etiquette, how can we mock them? Pfft! Hahaha, sorry! I can't hold it in!"

"..."

The Japanese masses were half-dead with rage, yet the nightmare had only just begun.

[The Japanese contestant has died and will be punished.]

[In one minute, the lifespan of all Japanese citizens will be reduced by five years, resources will be halved, and ten thousand snakes will descend upon Japan.]

The announcement from the national fortune system left the Japanese citizens both furious and terrified.

"Baka! What a useless piece of trash!"

"That snake was so obvious, did he just not see it?"

"Bakayaro! Why was such a blind man chosen to represent our Japan?"

"And he called himself some kind of expert; it's a total joke."

"It's one thing for such a person to die of stupidity, but he had to drag us down with him."

"Santaro's entire family should commit Seppuku!!"

"..."

No matter how much the Japanese cursed or how angry they were, they could not change the fact that the punishment was descending.

Seeing that the countdown had only thirty seconds left, the Japanese people fell into a great panic.

"No! I don't want to lose five years of my life for no reason."

"That's five years of time!"

"I'm most afraid of snakes, please don't let venomous snakes descend!"

"Resources were already insufficient, and now they're being halved. How are we supposed to live?"

"..."

In the Japanese high-level meeting room, the faces of all the officials were grim.

Their Japan was an island nation, and its resources were already scarce.

Now that they were to be reduced by half, Japan was afraid it would fall into an abyss of eternal damnation.

However, the Japanese high-level officials were unable to change the impending disaster.

As they watched the countdown approach zero, the Japanese high-level officials showed terror.

Many Japanese people began to pray, burning incense and bowing to Buddha, hoping that the gods would protect them and intervene to stop this disaster.

However, all of this was in vain.

As the countdown hit zero, the next second, the entire Japanese population was enveloped by streaks of black light.

The black light reduced the lifespan of the Japanese people by five years.

People who were originally in their prime immediately felt their physical constitution decline.

Children whose minds were not yet fully mature grew up rapidly, yet they became low-IQ children.

There were also some elderly people who could have lived for a few more years who collapsed silently and left the world.

The punishment was not over yet.

Ten thousand venomous snakes suddenly appeared on the Japanese mainland.

Originally, the high-level officials thought this was the punishment that would bring the smallest disaster.

After all, with ten thousand venomous snakes spread evenly across the entire country of Japan, the probability of people encountering them would be very small.

However, what no one expected was that the places where these venomous snakes appeared were all crowded areas.

Some were in swimming pools, some in shopping malls, and even in the Japanese high-level meeting room.

As long as these venomous snakes appeared, they were guaranteed to take at least one person's life.

There was even one snake that killed more than ten people in a row.

For a time, cases of venomous snake bites appeared all over the country.

This caused ambulances everywhere to be dispatched urgently.

However, because the species of venomous snakes were all different, and some were even extinct venomous snakes, the hospitals simply did not have the corresponding antivenom serum.

The bullet Japan fired years ago had finally hit them right between the eyes.

This venomous snake punishment, with only ten thousand snakes, actually caused several tens of thousands of deaths.

The most terrifying thing was that most of the venomous snakes could not be caught and had hidden in the shadows.

This meant that similar incidents would continue to happen in Japan in the future.

After the venomous snakes came the halving of Japan's resources.

Whether it was food or water resources... everything was reduced by half.

This caused land subsidence in some places and serious soil erosion.

Even large areas of land turned into wilderness.

Today was Japan's nightmare!

And their plight did not receive the sympathy of other countries.

Japan had offended more than just Dragon Country.

Ever since they did that insane thing, many countries had harbored deep hatred for them.

The Japanese disaster was quite a source of amusement for the people of these countries.

They felt very satisfied.

This was karma.

At the same time, Japan's punishment also showed all countries the horror of the penalties.

The [National Fortune Game] was not joking.

Its methods were extremely terrifying, and it did exactly as it said.

It could make a country rise to prosperity, and it could easily destroy a country.

The death penalty was too terrifying!

The people of all nations began to fear that something would happen to the contestants representing their own countries.

Just as chaos was breaking out in the outside world...

Back with An Ke, he had caught a new fish and a bunch of shrimp.

To be precise, 'caught' wasn't the right word; rather, these fish and shrimp had delivered themselves to him.

This left many of the Foreigners who had just entered the live broadcast room stunned.

"What kind of magic did the Dragon Country Contestant use?"

"Don't these fish and shrimp run away?"

"..."

Some foreign netizens who had been in the Dragon Country live broadcast room since yesterday calmly remarked:

"Stay calm, stay calm!"

"This is just the Dragon Country Contestant's basic operation, don't be so surprised!"

The newly arrived Foreigners were collectively dumbfounded. Such an absurd thing was actually a basic operation?

In the broadcast, An Ke grilled the fish and shrimp he had caught.

He continued to replenish his physical strength.

Only by eating and drinking his fill could he work well.

Although it wasn't much, as a breakfast, it was enough to jumpstart his body.

Eating the small fish one by one, then drinking coconut water and eating coconut flesh.

The viewers in the bullet comments were drooling, but they were also incredibly satisfied.

When people from other countries compared him to their own representatives, they were numb with jealousy.

Some countries still hadn't found a stable water source.

Yet over here, the Dragon Country Contestant An Ke was already starting to enjoy himself.
