45: Chapter 45 The entire internet is in an uproar!!! The contestant is devastated!!!

The sudden announcement from the [National Fortune Game] sent the world into an uproar!

It was one thing for ferocious beasts to spawn, but they would actually take the initiative to attack the camps?

Wouldn't that make the nights extremely dangerous?

The bullet comments in the live broadcast rooms of various countries were flashing incessantly.

"Our country's contestant just finally got on the right track, and now you're telling me a beast raid is coming?"

"Without thermal weapons, how could a human possibly fight off a wild beast?"

Using cold weapons to deal with wild beasts was extremely difficult.

After all, in terms of both physique and strength, humans would be crushed by wild beasts.

For example: black bears, lions, tigers... One must remember that the beasts are spawned in, and no one knows exactly what kind of beast will appear.

As for smaller beasts, they usually cooperate through pack tactics.

Like Hyenas, wolves... and other pack-hunting predators.

"Besides these beasts, the most terrifying ones are actually centipedes, snakes, and scorpions, alright!"

"No one knows what will eventually show up."

"Too scary! Just thinking about it makes my hands shake!"

The [National Fortune Game] is indeed not that simple!"

"Who knows how many countries' contestants will die in this wave!"

At this moment, everyone in the world was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

After all, many contestants' situations had just started to improve, and now they had to face such a crisis.

It was very likely they would be knocked back to square one overnight.

The mental state of people all over the world was about to collapse.

But those who were breaking down the most were the contestants themselves.

They had suffered quite a bit over these past seven days.

Fortunately, things were slowly getting better, and they could even eat many animals and plants that were extinct or endangered on Blue Star.

The contestants had begun to look forward to the future and to making contributions to their countries.

Yet now, they were being told that the previous period was merely a newbie protection phase.

The real crisis was just beginning?

Many contestants felt like they were falling apart; they had no weapons, so how were they to resist a beast raid?

Also, what kind of beasts would they be?

Would they die a very painful death?

In the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast!

An Ke rubbed his chin, not particularly surprised.

Just as he thought, the [National Fortune Game] wouldn't let them off easy.

After all, as long as the materialization conditions were met, one could achieve Thousand Times Materialization in the real world.

As the saying goes: All the gifts of fate have already been marked with a price in secret.

Now, the price has appeared!

While other contestants were in a panicked frenzy or even terrified,

An Ke was actually somewhat excited.

Things were just too coincidental.

It just so happened that his [Natural Affinity] had just upgraded today.

Now it had a place to be put to use.

He just didn't know if it would be effective against large wild beasts.

However, An Ke was not in a hurry; he figured the [National Fortune Game] wouldn't throw everyone into a certain-death situation right from the start.

It would surely leave these contestants some room to breathe.

The difficulty would increase accordingly, becoming harder and harder, and more and more terrifying.

In that case, he might have an opportunity to exploit.

"Speaking of which, this mode is like raising Gu."

"I wonder why the [National Fortune Game] even appeared."

An Ke pondered, feeling that this answer was too difficult to find.

It might have been established by a higher civilization, or it could have come from an unknown existence.

In any case, as long as he could gain benefits, it was fine.

As for the rest, who cares!

Pulling his thoughts back, An Ke continued washing up.

He luckily discovered a fish, which made him sigh that today was his lucky day.

He saw food first thing in the morning.

After expertly catching the river fish he spotted, An Ke called over Jingang, intending to show off in front of him.

This fellow loved eating fish the most.

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room.

Everyone watched as An Ke remained composed, completely unaffected by the announcement just now.

They couldn't help but be surprised.

"Isn't Boss An afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? He has a guard of monkeys."

"I have to say, Boss An is truly Boss An."

"He has such foresight—training monkeys and arranging weapons in advance. So impressive!"

"If there were a combat power ranking, Boss An would surely be number one."

"Yeah! He also has scouts and Bee guards!"

"Seeing Boss An's relaxed manner, I feel less nervous than before!"

"His influence is too strong!"

"..."

However, Expert Cui in the program then scolded the live broadcast room audience:

"Don't be too optimistic!"

"So what if he has monkey guards?"

"In front of true wild beasts, monkeys are fragile."

"And most predators have thick hides and flesh; Bees won't have any effect at all."

"There's too little sense of urgency. An Ke will definitely be killed by his own laxity."

Beside him, Liu Yifei's willow-like brows furrowed slightly.

She found Expert Cui's words very distasteful.

A key purpose for the officials setting up this program was to reassure the public.

Expert Cui not only failed to provide comfort but also did the opposite, creating a sense of tension.

Is it really a case of 'the whole world is drunk while you alone are sober'?

Everyone knows the risks, alright; it's just that people are holding onto hope.

Inside the broadcast!

"Jingang, you really are a picky eater!" An Ke smiled helplessly.

Jingang didn't like eating river fish.

He liked eating sea fish.

An Ke had given him a bite of the river fish he just caught after roasting it.

After that one bite, he wouldn't eat any more.

An Ke simply ate it himself.

Just as he was happily enjoying this river fish alone, his ears twitched as he heard monkey cries.

At first, An Ke didn't pay much attention.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Because the monkey cries that used to reach his ears had now turned into the sound of speech.

The group of monkeys was shouting: "Great King! Great King!"

An Ke turned his head in disbelief, wondering if he was hallucinating.

And when he saw Little Scar in front of him saying he needed help,

He discovered with a look of shock that he could completely understand animals speaking.

"So this is the ability added after [Natural Affinity] upgraded!"

"Isn't this just too mind-blowing?"

An Ke was wild with joy.

Being able to communicate with animals was a perfect ability.

This meant he would be able to completely command Little Scar, Jingang, and the others.

In some situations, he could formulate the ultimate plans.

Heaven-defying!

However, seeing how anxious Little Scar and the others were, An Ke forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He decisively followed them.

Inside the live broadcast room, the audience didn't know what was happening.

They began to speculate wildly with a flurry of chatter:

"Hey hey! What happened?"

"Little Scar looks like he's in a real hurry."

"Could it be that the Monkey troop is in danger?"

Combining this with the announcement just made, everyone felt this possibility was very high.

The words "fierce beast" couldn't help but surface in everyone's minds.

For a moment, everyone became worried.

"Exactly what kind of fierce beast is it?"

"I hope it's not a large-bodied wild beast like a black bear or a tiger."

"Yeah! Otherwise, it'll be big trouble!"
