320: Chapter 322 Hidden Achievement Reward!

Above the Moon, inside the Control Room.

The Mysterious figure in the long robe watched the animals playing Fight the Landlord on the live stream, feeling a bit dazed.

A group of animals of completely different species gathered together to play cards?

He immediately turned his head, the endless darkness beneath his hood looking toward Monitor No. 1379.

He opened his mouth and asked:

"Monitor No. 1379, did you alter the genetic values of the animals in the National Fortune Game?"

Monitor No. 1379 stammered, pointing at its "speaker" in a fluster.

The mysterious figure lightly raised his long sleeve.

Only then was Monitor No. 1379 able to speak: "Wow! I can finally talk, I was almost smothered to death."

The Mysterious figure in the long robe spoke indifferently:

"No. 1379, you only need to answer my question.

If you talk any more nonsense, I will silence you for days."

Monitor No. 1379 gave a "human-like" shudder.

It immediately answered in a businesslike manner:

"I did indeed revise the genetic values of some animals in the National Fortune Game.

However, it was all within the prescribed limits; size and intelligence were increased the most..."

The Mysterious figure in the long robe interrupted directly, "What about the animals' habits?"

Monitor No. 1379 hurriedly replied: "No changes were made."

"As animal intelligence increases, their habits will undergo some changes.

But the changes won't be too significant."

"The reason different species are coexisting harmoniously and forming a large family is entirely because of the Human Player, An Ke."

"If we compare An Ke and his group to a building, An Ke is the foundation supporting it.

Once the foundation is gone, the building collapses."

"My Lord, didn't I tell you before? An Ke can make creatures instinctively want to be close to him."

The Mysterious figure in the long robe nodded slightly but did not voice his opinion.

The darkness under the hood seemed to be staring deeply at An Ke.

After a long while, his long sleeve moved again.

[Scanning human An Ke...]

[Scan complete, no abnormalities found.]

And just then, in the live broadcast.

An Ke's voice suddenly rang out:

"Hey! You've already watched me twice today."

"I didn't say anything the first time, but why a second time?

What, is card playing forbidden in the National Fortune Game?"

The Mysterious figure in the long robe clearly hadn't expected An Ke to suddenly speak to him across space.

This caused his figure to freeze slightly.

"My Lord, this human An Ke seems to have sensed the existence of the Control Room.

He has tried to talk to me across space like this several times already," Monitor No. 1379 said from the side.

"Interesting!"

The Mysterious figure in the long robe seemed to be smiling under the darkness of his hood.

"This race from a lower civilization is quite bold."

"Most races, when they realize the existence of a high-dimensional civilization, are scared out of their wits, their sanity values plummeting.

Or they become fanatical believers, worshiping us wildly."

"This human, on the other hand, actually dares to joke with me."

"My Lord, what should we do next?

Should we respond to him and let him be promoted to..."

"No! Let the National Fortune Game proceed normally," the Mysterious figure in the long robe interrupted directly.

"Though this human is special, he's still far from it."

"He needs to grow, and the civilization behind him needs to grow as well.

Of course! If he dies before he can grow, then it means he was only worth that much."

"I will keep an eye on him personally from now on; perhaps I can find some highlights that would interest those nobles."

"Yes! My Lord!" Monitor No. 1379 replied.

At the same time, it was extremely surprised.

His Lordship really thought highly of this human, An Ke.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to monitor him personally.

This was fine; at least in the future, someone would share the shock An Ke brought with me.

...

Inside the live broadcast.

Having received no response for a long time, An Ke began to feel a bit bored.

At this time, Savage Yi and several other savages returned, reporting to An Ke the news that most of the Pelican Spiders had been burned to death.

"Very good!"

An Ke was in a great mood; this way, he would obtain rich achievement rewards.

Just then, the National Fortune Game announcement sounded:

[Dragon Country Player Number One An Ke has completed an s-rank instance hidden achievement.]

[Number of Pelican Spiders killed: 179.]

Outside, in the live broadcast room.

"Only 179 Pelican Spiders killed?"

"Shouldn't all the Pelican Spiders have been burned to death?"

"With so many of them, it's normal for some lucky ones to escape the sea of fire."

"Sigh! It's still a pity; how great would a total annihilation have been?"

"..."

The Foreigners in the live broadcast room grit their teeth until they made a "clatter" sound.

Only 179 killed?

You Dragon Country people, do you even hear yourselves?

There were only a bit over 200 Pelican Spiders in total, and almost nine-tenths have been killed. What more do you want?

Most importantly, An Ke killed these Pelican Spiders while playing cards.

That's what's most infuriating.

It's a hidden achievement after all; can't you give "hidden" some respect and not complete it so easily?

But anger aside, jealousy aside, the Foreigners had to admire An Ke.

After all, only An Ke could pull off a move like lighting a fire in a cave.

If it were their own country's players, or players from other countries, they would be burned to death in minutes.

Even if they weren't burned to death, they would be suffocated by the thick smoke.

The National Fortune Game announcement continued to sound:

[All citizens of Dragon Country: Constitution +15, Lifespan +15 years.]

[Manifesting a river that flows through all regions of the country; the water storage at the river's source is 474.99 billion cubic meters.]

As the National Fortune Game announcement voice faded, a miraculous scene occurred in Dragon Country.

A clear river appeared out of thin air, flowing through every province and district.

At the same time, this manifested river did not cause any damage to human settlements.

"Holy crap, holy crap!"

In the Dragon Country High Command conference room, the Minister of the Resource Management Department was so excited he blurted out a curse.

"Elder Li, after today, the people of Dragon Country have completely solved the water shortage problem.

No matter which region, everyone can drink clean water."

Around him, the other high-ranking officials could also hardly hide their excitement.

474.99 billion cubic meters.

Back in the old era, the regions with the most water resource storage were only around this number.

Although a thousand streams had been manifested before,

those streams flowed through limited areas and didn't have much water storage, barely solving the daily water issues of nearby residents.

Most citizens still couldn't drink clean water.

But now, this river flows through every region of the country, solving the water problem for every area.

It's no longer limited to the vicinity of the river.

And the appearance of the river doesn't just solve water usage problems.

It can also improve the ecological environment, allowing the land of Dragon Country to glow with vitality once again.

All over Dragon Country.

Residents near the river ran out of their homes one after another, flocking to the side of the manifested river.

Looking at this clean river glistening in the sunlight, people were excited to the extreme.

It was like a child living in the mountains seeing the sea for the first time...
