381: Chapter 407 King Kong: New Inspiration! The God of War Returns!

An Ke's uniqueness—specifically, the cheats he used—had troubled Number 1379 for a long time.

This made it incredibly eager to reveal exactly "what kind of cheat" An Ke was using.

As for whether they could actually uncover An Ke's "cheat."

Number 1379 had great confidence in the abilities of the several Nobles; they were capable of seeing half of the universe's essence.

And that was something only a God-level Civilization could achieve.

Inside the live broadcast.

After An Ke finished saying that he would let Old Crocodile try to retrieve the [black technology core] tomorrow, Sister-in-law Crocodile became a bit worried.

"Little friend, I don't think Old Crocodile needs to try. He's no good, he's useless at everything!"

Old Crocodile's eyes widened, his face turning a bit red with heat, but his heart was filled with helplessness.

He could only look up at the sky; although it was blocked by the giant trees, it didn't stop him from lamenting: A crocodile in his middle age truly feels a sense of powerlessness!

Thinking back to his glory days, he had stood out among a crowd of male crocodiles to win over Sister-in-law Crocodile, but now he only felt desolation.

Even King Kong could use him for weightlifting.

Earlier, my little friend seemed to say he would help me improve my strength... Old Crocodile suddenly thought of this.

He wondered when that would be.

Even though Sister-in-law Crocodile belittled Old Crocodile with her words, An Ke could see the worry in her eyes.

Truly a sharp tongue but a soft heart!

An Ke sighed with emotion.

"Don't worry, Sister-in-law."

An Ke said with a smile, "We've been together for so long, don't you know me by now?"

"I wouldn't do something that would send Old Crocodile to his death..."

Pausing, An Ke added, "I won't let any creature in the Tribe go to their death either."

"Because we are companions!"

An Ke's words warmed the hearts of all the animals present, including Xiao Mei.

They felt that following An Ke was the most correct choice they had ever made in their lives.

Little Scar hopped and skipped: "Exactly! The Great King would never let any partner go to their death!"

"The Great King is too cool!"

"Miss Jin! Don't you agree!"

The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey curled her lips: "Brother is of course the coolest! Even cooler than you when you transform into the White-Haired Giant Ape."

Hua Hua's round body sat on the ground, and she let out a "cluck-cluck" laugh: "Brother is not only cool, but he's also the best brother in the world."

A-Giao immediately said: "Then what about me?"

Hearing this, Hua Hua looked disgusted: "You are not my brother right now. When you get rid of your perverted hobbies, only then will you be my brother again."

Ghost Face nodded slightly in agreement.

Of all the hobbies to have, why did he have to enjoy being mistreated?

A-Giao remained silent upon hearing this. If he wasn't her brother, then so be it; it was impossible to change something like a preference.

"Master, when are we going back?"

At this moment, King Kong urged impatiently.

An Ke looked at the now-energetic King Kong and asked curiously, "Did you find inspiration?"

King Kong was smug: "That's right! This Muscle Man already has inspiration!!"

"Muscle Bro, can you tell me about it?" A-Giao was very curious.

"The content This Muscle Man plans to talk about this time is: The Muscle God of War returns, only to find his wife and daughter living in a pigsty!!"

"In a fit of rage, This Muscle Man calls upon a hundred thousand elites to flatten the enemy's base!!"

Outside, in the live broadcast room, the bullet comments were shouting "666," though some expressed confusion.

"If he's a God of War, why would his wife and daughter be bullied and live in a pigsty?"

"Wouldn't the officials help protect them?"

"Makes sense! Normally, the officials would protect the family of a God of War; this isn't logical."

"Haha! Who cares about logic? As long as it's satisfying, that's all that matters!"

"I'm a simple man, I love watching this!"

"..."

Inside the [National Fortune Game], An Ke's group returned the way they came.

Waiting for tomorrow to come back and retrieve the [black technology core].

An Ke did not arrange for any animals to guard this place for a very simple reason.

No one could step into the Nightmare Flower's territory to take the [black technology core].

He also didn't take action against Trump or the players from the Lighthouse and the Kangaroo.

It was the same old saying: as long as others didn't actively provoke him, under normal circumstances, An Ke was too lazy to bother with them.

However, the main reason was that An Ke had a faint feeling that the real enemy was not the National Destiny Bearers of other countries.

The real game hadn't officially begun yet...

Trump watched the harmonious figures of An Ke's group as they left, talking and laughing, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The atmosphere among An Ke's group was truly good—united, loving, and mutually supportive.

In contrast to themselves.

Even though they were all compatriots, infighting had occurred from the very beginning, leading to a split into two teams.

Weakening their own strength was truly ridiculous.

"How is that crocodile going to get the [black technology core] from the Nightmare Flowers?"

Trump was very curious; he had witnessed the terror of the Nightmare Flowers.

They were not something a normal creature could provoke.

Even King Kong or a giant-sized Little Scar would find it difficult to go deep into where the [black technology core] was located.

What method would Old Crocodile use?

Trump's doubt was shared by almost the entire Blue Star right now, including the several God-level Civilization beings in the Control Room.

After returning to the island, An Ke took the Dung Beetles he had gathered earlier.

This was also one of his main purposes for coming out this time; another task was to check out the terrifying roar Old Crocodile had heard from the Far East earlier.

Unfortunately, because the second stage of the new map had begun, that thing was likely gone.

Regarding An Ke bringing back a large group of Dung Beetles, Xiao Mei and the others were very curious about what use these ugly little guys had.

An Ke only said with a smile that they would know when spring arrived.

In fact, after the island map was fully opened, the entire island technically belonged to An Ke's territory.

He could go directly to get whatever he wanted.

But the island was too big; without any transportation infrastructure, acquiring some resources would take several days.

The [teleportation device] also required consuming [blue energy particles], and the difficulty of obtaining those was a bit high, so An Ke didn't plan to waste them recklessly.

Therefore, planting things himself and being self-sufficient was the way to go.

When An Ke returned to the Camp, everyone in the Control Room stared intently at his every move, fearing they might miss a single detail.

They wanted to uncover the secret on An Ke's body and see how he unlocked the genetic locks of the animals around him.

However, it wasn't until An Ke finished his chores, washed up, and lay down on his bed.

The Nobles, the Chief Steward, and Number 1379 hadn't seen any unusual behavior from An Ke.

This left them somewhat bewildered.

"Hmm? He's just going to sleep like this?" Fama didn't understand.

"Shouldn't he go to that crocodile, unlock its genetic lock, and help it become a transcendent creature?"

The Nobles all remained noncommittal.

The feminine Noble, Dainike, guessed: "Could it be that An Ke plans to do it tomorrow?"

"That's a possibility." The Noble on the far left, "Noble," nodded.

"In any case, we don't need to sleep; as long as An Ke makes a special move, we can see it immediately."

"..."

In the live broadcast, An Ke, lying on his bed, thought about the upcoming Camp construction while waiting for the 200 points of [Linguistic Attack] attribute he had bestowed upon Old Crocodile to arrive.

At the same time, he checked to see which animal would be the next to be bestowed an attribute.

...

Inside the Control Room Above the Moon, several God-level Civilization beings waited for An Ke to unlock Old Crocodile's genetic lock.

While An Ke was waiting for [Natural Affinity] to bestow the attribute upon Old Crocodile.

He didn't need to do anything at all; he just needed to wait quietly.

At this moment, An Ke was thinking about the issues with the upcoming Camp construction.

Kata's floor heating system would be completed in roughly the next day or two; at that time, as long as animals were arranged to take turns burning firewood, it could provide warmth for the entire Camp and resist the severe cold.

According to the animals, when the severe cold arrived, white snow would cover the ground, so a floor heating system was very necessary.

Animals that needed to hibernate, like Aman, Three Hairs, and the Old Crocodile Couple, wouldn't have to hibernate in the cold weather anymore.

"But then again..."

Three Hairs had 500 points in the hardness attribute; would he still need to hibernate?

An Ke wasn't sure right now and could only wait and see when the time came.

After the floor heating system was completed, the next thing An Ke wanted to do was hydroelectric power generation.

Right now, lighting relied entirely on fire.

Fire lighting had many drawbacks, the foremost being safety issues.

If a fire accidentally started, the entire Camp could be affected and burned to the ground.

Furniture and houses were all wooden products and were easily ignited.

"I feel it would be best to upgrade the buildings..."

Replacing the buildings with stone houses, or even taking the time to make cement, could greatly improve safety.

The second stage would very likely have a Beast Attack, and the beasts this time would certainly be even more ferocious.

"Hydroelectric power, electric lights, cement..."

An Ke muttered to himself; he felt like there were so many things that needed to be done.

Right now, he could only take it step by step, and An Ke planned to get the hydroelectric power generation done first.

Once there was electricity, the civilization level of the Camp would increase several times over.

"If it could be obtained directly from the [core], that would be perfect," An Ke fantasized.

Outside, in the live broadcast room.

"Does Boss An still not know that the [core] can directly provide a [Construction Core]?"

"Isn't that obvious? Before tonight, nobody knew, okay!"

"The Sun Never Sets nation's luck is truly good; they obtained a [Level 2 Camp Core], which is an A-rank level."

"Their luck is indeed good! Their survival standard has been raised by several levels."

"With the defensive power of their current Level 2 Camp Core, as long as the Sun Never Sets Players don't leave the Camp, they basically won't die."

"This is the first time I've envied a foreign player!"

"What's there to envy? We have Three Hairs; finding a [Construction Core] is only a matter of time."

"Exactly!"

"..."

At this time, where the Sun Never Sets Players were located.

A concrete building resembling a castle stood in the Giant Forest.

Outside the castle, four heavy machine guns emitted a cold glint, making anyone who saw them feel fear.

Inside the castle, the Sun Never Sets Players were celebrating obtaining this concrete castle.

Although the food was not abundant, mainly consisting of fruit fly larvae about the size of a kitten.

But for them, who were used to eating nutritional reagents, this already counted as a rich protein feast.

"Thank God for letting us get this castle!"

"Hahaha! With four heavy machine guns in hand, what giant beasts or giant insects are we afraid of?"

"The Goddess of Luck has finally started to favor the Sun Never Sets!"

"Yes! We will let the Sun Never Sets return to its glorious era!!!"

"..."

It would be a lie to say they weren't happy; only this morning, they had been chased around by a group of American cockroaches.

But now they were able to celebrate inside an incredibly safe castle; it all felt like a dream.

Time passed slowly, and An Ke, who was waiting for [Natural Affinity] to bestow attribute points upon Old Crocodile, fell into a deep sleep on his bed.

There was no other way! The time for Old Crocodile's attribute bestowal was also in the late night, and An Ke ultimately couldn't resist the sleep bug.

The main reason was that after An Ke finished thinking about the Camp construction, he continued to train his [Telekinesis] to improve his [Mental Strength Proficiency].

About four hours later.

An Ke, having replenished his energy, opened his eyes.

Seeing that it was still pitch black outside, he shook his head helplessly.

"The required sleep time is getting shorter and shorter. I'm afraid in the future I really can go two days without sleeping, or even not need to sleep at all."

"I wonder if I'll miss sleeping when that time comes."

Humans are very strange creatures.

When you have to do something, you feel it's dull and tedious, and you're very reluctant to do it.

But when you haven't done that thing for a long time, you'll desire to do it immensely.

It's like getting tired after standing for a long time, but also getting tired after lying down for a long time...

Reining in his wandering thoughts, An Ke looked at his own unique golden finger panel:

[Old Crocodile (Crocodile): 200 points of 'Linguistic Attack'.]

Old Crocodile's attribute had arrived!!

An Ke was overjoyed. He sat up, wanting to go find Old Crocodile to see exactly what kind of ability [Linguistic Attack] was.

But seeing the dim night outside, he stopped his movements.

He decided it was better to wait until tomorrow to check.

After all, the animals weren't like him; his attributes in all areas could grow through [Proficiency] and [National Fortune Game] rewards.

So they still needed sufficient sleep to rest.

An Ke looked back at the panel; Old Crocodile's [Linguistic Attack] had arrived.

So which animal would receive an attribute seven days later?

[Next animal to be bestowed an attribute: Tiger Mom (Siberian Tiger).]

[Bestowed attribute: divine attribute +20 points.]

[Countdown time: 4.8 days.]

An Ke's pupils dilated in shock. divine attribute?!

What is this?

Does it mean obtaining the power of a god?!

Are you kidding me?

A storm surged in An Ke's heart.

Compared to the [Linguistic Attack] Old Crocodile received, he was now even more curious about what Tiger Mom would become after obtaining the divine attribute.

Although it was uncertain what Tiger Mom would turn into, just the word "God" alone meant it absolutely wouldn't be weak.

Not necessarily...

An Ke, whose emotions had calmed down slightly, noticed one point: the bestowed divine attribute was only 20 points.

Wasn't that too little?

It wasn't like Three Hairs getting 500 points of hardness; at the very least, it should be 200 points, right?

An Ke was worried that 20 attribute points were too low and would be useless with no effect.

One could only say that [Natural Affinity] was being a bit stingy this time...

But stinginess aside, what was worth praising was that the time for bestowing attributes to animals had decreased.

It was originally once every 7 days, but now it had been shortened to 5 days.

What caused this?

[Natural Affinity] hadn't upgraded either.

An Ke was somewhat confused and instinctively looked at the golden finger attribute panel.

['Natural Affinity' is approximately 0.8 days away from upgrading.]

['Share' function is approximately 7.2 days away from upgrading.]

[Next attribute bestowal: Tiger Mom 'Siberian Tiger' +20 points of Divinity.]

[Time until bestowal: 4.8 days.]

An Ke couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

My goodness... what on earth happened?

I woke up from a nap, and the upgrade time for all my abilities has been shortened by a large margin?

Could it be that I did something while I was sleeping?

...
