280: Chapter 280 Young friend! Sharing isn't out of the question!

Old Crocodile always felt his wife's words were a bit strange.

For some reason, a hint of jealousy rose in his heart.

He loved his wife the most, after all.

But when Old Crocodile looked at An Ke, his favorable impression of him instantly shot up.

"I, Old Crocodile, also really want to get close to our little friend, the intimate kind of close."

At this moment, Old Crocodile suddenly had a feeling.

It seemed An Ke's status in his heart was constantly rising, even surpassing his love for his wife.

Since he himself felt such a strong liking for An Ke, wasn't it normal for his wife to feel the same?

Besides...

He liked An Ke so much, so what if his wife liked An Ke too?

Old Crocodile didn't mind at all sharing a wife with An Ke.

"Hehe~" Thinking of this, Old Crocodile chuckled.

"Little friend! I, Old Crocodile, want to dual cultivate with you... Ah! No, I mean I want to get close to you."

"For some reason, I suddenly feel a strong sense of closeness to you."

As expected, after Natural Affinity reached Level 5, it could generate a sense of closeness even in animals of Old Crocodile's level.

What An Ke couldn't understand was why it hadn't worked on those Giant Centipedes.

After all, the Giant Centipedes were smaller than Old Crocodile, only about four or five meters long.

Could it be because of their ancient origins?

And thus their high level?

At this moment, before An Ke could speak, Aman spoke up first:

"Isn't it normal to feel close to the Boss?"

"Not only should you feel close, but you should also have a sense of awe toward the Boss."

As he spoke, Aman's eyes were full of disdain, his tone somewhat questioning:

"Old Crocodile, could it be that you didn't feel close to the Boss before?"

The "Simp" Python was very displeased.

"I naturally liked the little friend before, but the feeling now is far stronger than before..."

"Humph! In my opinion, you just don't care enough about the Boss!!"

An Ke didn't interrupt, but he picked up another layer of meaning from Aman's words.

In other words, Level 5 Natural Affinity still had no effect on Aman?

An Ke asked directly:

"Aman, don't you feel anything different toward me?"

Hearing this, Aman immediately flashed a fawning smile:

"Boss! How could I not feel anything for you?"

"I feel it so much!"

"You are my god. I would pluck the moon from the highest heavens or catch a turtle from the deepest seas for you."

An Ke was amused by the Simp Python's flattery.

However, he quickly regained his composure and said:

"That's not what I meant..."

After a pause, he reorganized his words to clearly explain the specific thing he wanted to understand.

"A sudden burst of closeness?" Aman tried hard to understand the meaning of the phrase.

Then he said with a chuckle, "Boss, my love for you is continuously progressive."

"A little more than yesterday, a little less than tomorrow."

An Ke: "..."

This smooth-talker, how does he have all these lines?

However, An Ke also learned what he wanted to know from this.

That is, Level 5 Natural Affinity indeed couldn't affect the Giant Python.

In other words, when An Ke actively released Natural Affinity, he could exert a brief influence on creatures whose system-defined level was up to two levels higher than his own.

Previously, An Ke had always thought it was only one level higher; only now did he gain a better understanding of his Natural Affinity ability.

Thinking of this, An Ke felt lucky:

"Good thing it worked on the Hippopotamus, otherwise things would have gone south!"

If Old Crocodile and the Hippopotamus were defined as Level 6 by Natural Affinity, he would have failed this time.

If reaching Level 5 couldn't stop the Hippopotamus, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It had to be said, luck is also a form of strength.

Nevertheless, An Ke secretly warned himself that he must act cautiously in the future.

Now he knew that the biological level of Old Crocodile and the Hippopotamus was Level 5 (within the National Fortune Game).

Aman was likely Level 6; once Natural Affinity upgraded again, he would be able to influence Aman.

Speaking of which, Aman was already such a simp; would he become even more of one after the upgrade?

At the thought of Aman's potential fanaticism, An Ke suddenly didn't want to upgrade Natural Affinity anymore.

Just as he was lost in these random thoughts, a National Fortune Game announcement rang out:

[Dragon Countrys Number One Player An Ke has met the conditions for the Thousand Times Materialization of the Hippopotamus:]

[Reward: Thousand Times Materialization of identical obedient Hippopotamuses, with a production rate of once per month.]

This time, however, there was none of the usual joy in the Dragon Country Live Stream Room regarding the Thousand Times Materialization.

Instead, everyone was quite repulsed.

"Tsk tsk tsk! I don't even know what the point of a creature like the Hippopotamus is."

"They eat a lot and poop a lot!"

"According to Professor Wu, this group of Hippopotamuses will definitely occupy a body of water."

"The vegetation near the water has just started to recover; what if these Hippopotamuses ruin it all?"

"Exactly! I strongly demand that the Hippopotamuses must undergo family planning!"

"Seconded!!"

"Otherwise, just catch some of them and perform sterilization surgeries."

"Otherwise, with too many Hippopotamuses, the plants won't be able to grow."

"..."

Although Dragon Country had materialized a large oasis before,

But for a country with such a vast land area as Dragon Country, it was far from enough.

To restore the former vibrant scenery, it was estimated to take several decades.

The appearance of this group of Hippopotamuses was indeed ill-timed.

Meanwhile, the Foreigners in the live broadcast room couldn't help but grit their teeth as they watched the Dragon Country Masses' comments...

Listen to that! Just listen!

Is that even human language the Dragon Country Masses are speaking?

They would give anything for a Thousand Times Materialization of any animal, even if there was no food to feed them.

Having something is better than nothing; at least there would be meat to eat.

Yet the Dragon Country Masses actually started to act repulsed.

Comparing the two, the Foreigners felt extremely unbalanced.

But they were helpless.

The Foreigners who had flooded into the Dragon Country Live Stream Room earlier began to leave one after another.

They arrived in silence and left without a sound.

Only some muttered curses to themselves: "F**k! They actually didn't manage to jinx An Ke to death!"

The Hippopotamus herd was already kneeling to An Ke; what else could they hope for?

However, the Foreigners had been constantly infuriated lately.

They had "cultivated" a set of self-consolation techniques.

To them, not speaking up and not letting the Dragon Country people slap their faces was something worth being happy about.

Simply put, by not giving the Dragon Country Masses the satisfaction of mocking them, they felt satisfied themselves.

Want to slap our faces? Heh! we just won't let you, we won't give you the chance.

If the Dragon Country Masses knew what the Foreigners were thinking, they would probably be speechless and even find them pitiful.

Have they really reached such a level of self-deception?

The Foreigners' behavior was like Xiao Ming riding a bicycle while his classmate drove a Mercedes-Benz.

Xiao Ming deliberately took a detour to avoid meeting the classmate in the Mercedes.

This way, because Xiao Ming didn't see it, it was as if his classmate didn't have a Mercedes.

As long as the classmate didn't get to show off in front of Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming felt very satisfied.

If this isn't pathetic, what is?

After all, the classmate really was driving a Mercedes-Benz, which meant his quality of life was indeed better...
