184: Chapter 184 Universal Upgrade Card

The first-kill reward for slaying the savage shocked the entire world.

How could they not be shocked?

In this era where resources and food are scarce,

what did ten thousand mu of Infinite Fertile Land mean?

Moreover, it was unaffected by the four seasons and could be harvested once a month!

Either point alone was enough to blow the world's mind and drive everyone crazy.

"Holy crap!!! Holy crap!!!"

"Infinite growth! Do we have a chance to eat rice now?"

"In the short term, distribution definitely won't be even; after all, our Great Dragon Country has a massive population."

"But now that the fertile land is right there, it means that one day, every single one of us will be able to eat it!"

"I don't want to eat Nutritional Supplements anymore; that stuff tastes like death!"

"It can be harvested every month, so that's 12 harvests a year?"

"A hundred mu of fertile land can sustain several hundred people."

"Ten thousand mu can sustain three hundred thousand people."

"With the cycle greatly shortened, this manifestation can significantly support millions of people!!"

"Mighty! Boss An is mighty!!!"

"Wait until next year; perhaps every one of us will be able to have a mouthful of rice!"

"I see the gates to returning to the golden age have opened!!!"

"No need for fertilizer, no need for sowing, only water is required. This is so awesome!"

"..."

The entire Dragon Country was in a frenzy of celebration; the whole nation rejoiced.

If it was just to give everyone a taste, a single mouthful of rice to recall the flavor of the golden age,

it wouldn't take many years before every person in the Dragon Country could taste it.

This undoubtedly boosted the national spirit immensely.

The fire of hope was spreading.

Countries friendly with the Dragon Country offered their congratulations one after another.

More and more nations began to switch sides.

They began to seek friendly relations with the Dragon Country.

The logic of every country was simple.

They had to cling to the Dragon Country's thigh.

When the Dragon Country became rich in resources in the future, they could also get a share of the spoils.

The Commander personally led the army to the area where the fertile land had manifested.

They placed it under protection.

The more valuable the reward, the more likely it was to attract the enemy's malicious hands.

They not only stationed troops but also began constructing anti-aircraft facilities.

One must know that in such an era, building any facility required consuming the national treasury's reserves.

It could be said that once used, it was gone.

But it was all worth it!

It wasn't over yet!

The National Fortune Game announcements continued.

[Reward: All citizens of Dragon Country receive +1 Constitution, +5 Longevity, and +200 Appearance Aesthetics.]

[Reward: Dragon Country Player Number One receives an "all-purpose upgrade card," which can upgrade any previously obtained ability.]

live broadcast room:

"Wait, what? How did I suddenly become handsome?"

"Holy crap! I... I've fallen in love with myself in the mirror."

"This young lady is now the world's number one beauty!!"

"Hahaha! I always used to hate my nose, but now it's perfectly straight!"

"Family! Who understands! I actually liked being ugly!"

"Is everyone becoming a Supermodel now?"

"Oh! I actually think this appearance reward is kind of useless."

"Better to have kept strengthening our constitution!"

"Mm-hmm! I think so too. I'm off! Going to look in the mirror first!"

"..."

At this moment!

The Dragon Country Masses' looks were number one in the world!

Don't look at this reward as if it had no use in the present, not being as impactful as a direct constitution boost.

But this attribute increase gave countless people confidence.

It injected strength into those who previously only dared to keep their heads down, those who were insecure and introverted.

Many people would no longer consume themselves with internal conflict over various issues.

Incidents of being mocked or ostracized due to appearance would no longer exist.

Regardless of who they were, they could feel the kindness of the world.

And many years later, when historians looked back at the past,

they would all say this reward was of extraordinary significance.

It made everyone love this world.

It allowed a nation's self-confidence and cohesion to reach an unprecedented peak.

The era of universal self-confidence for the Dragon Country had begun!

At the same time, the average lifespan of Dragon Country people reached a hundred years.

Because of the constitution boost, if there were ever another Olympic Games,

the Dragon Country people would dominate every event—except for football...

Inside the broadcast.

An Ke's eyes lit up.

They actually rewarded an [all-purpose upgrade card] this time?

It could be used to upgrade previously rewarded abilities.

Previously, the rewards An Ke had obtained included [Top-tier Bow and Arrow Crafting Skill] and [Top-tier Ceramic Crafting Skill].

[Spider Sense], [Poison Immunity Constitution], [Ocean Affinity], [Portable Space], and [Double Jump].

An Ke immediately ruled out the first two rewards.

Top-tier was already sufficient.

There was no need to keep upgrading them.

The best choice was naturally to use it on upgrading super abilities.

An Ke also planned to rule out [Immunity to All Poisons] and [Ocean Affinity].

The former was already good enough.

The latter wasn't very useful in his current environment.

Therefore, if he wanted to upgrade something,

An Ke would choose between [Spider Sense], [Portable Space], and [Double Jump].

"Speaking of which..." An Ke suddenly had a thought.

Could the [all-purpose upgrade card] be used to upgrade abilities from the system?

For example, [Natural Affinity].

Currently, [Natural Affinity] was estimated to upgrade in 7 days.

It might be early, or it might be delayed.

If possible, could he immediately upgrade to Level 6 after reaching Level 5?

An Ke was a bit eager to try.

His strongest reliance was [Natural Affinity].

Every level of [Natural Affinity] provided extra functions.

The current Level 4 allowed him to bestow attributes to animals.

What functions would Level 5 have?

And what about Level 6?

An Ke was incredibly expectant.

Just then,

a commotion interrupted An Ke's train of thought.

The savage An Ke had knocked unconscious woke up.

At this moment, his body was covered in injuries.

The places where the Bees had stung him were beginning to swell.

He groaned in pain, looking at An Ke's group.

"What are you looking at? Never seen a Hulking One before?"

King Kong immediately barked.

However, the savage couldn't understand him.

An Ke was speechless at the Flirty Bird's words.

He set aside his thoughts on upgrading, deciding to wait until he was free.

Now, he intended to interrogate the savage before him.

An Ke stepped up to the savage.

The moment the savage saw An Ke, his body trembled slightly.

But very quickly, he gritted his teeth and stared at An Ke with hatred.

An Ke grinned, not caring in the least.

"Do you want to live?"

The savage continued to stare at An Ke without speaking.

"I can spare your life, as long as you obediently answer my questions."

The savage finally spoke.

"A warrior of the Tribe will not yield. Kill me or flay me as you wish."

An Ke frowned slightly, sensing a difficult situation.

He hadn't expected this guy to have such backbone.

If it were the fellow who had Hand-Slayed his partner to escape, he would surely be willing to cooperate.

But An Ke didn't want to give up; he intended to dig useful intelligence out of the savage's mouth.

In that case, he could only resort to a forced confession.

But physical torture would surely be useless.

It would be best to use a punishment that could break someone's spirit.

Soon, an idea formed in An Ke's mind.
