504: Chapter 552 A Generous Reward!

It wasn't that the Foreigners hadn't received rewards before.

But the rewards they received were limited.

How could they possibly compare to Dragon Country?

Currently, the average lifespan across Dragon Country has exceeded 200 years.

In second place is the Dog Tycoon.

Their contestant, Kata, has been clinging to An Ke's coattails, and his lifespan has also reached over 140 years.

This time, the limited-time event increased human lifespan by 20 years in one go.

How could the Foreigners not be grateful to An Ke?

They had never experienced receiving such generous rewards before, and none of them were stingy with their praise for An Ke.

As for whether the high-level officials of their own countries would be angry, why would the common people care about that?

They would follow whoever could bring them benefits and a happy life.

Obviously, clinging to An Ke's coattails was the most correct choice.

Kata is a living example.

The Dog Tycoon country is living quite comfortably now.

Although they can't fully restore the peak level of the old era like Dragon Country, they aren't far behind.

Plus, with the connection through Kata, they obtained the right to priority exports of Dragon Country's resources.

Next, Dog Tycoon will become the second nation after Dragon Country to restore the peak level of the old era.

After that would be White Goose.

However, White Goose has suffered quite a few punishments during this period, so their recovery speed will be slower.

After rewarding the humans of the Blue Star Civilization, it was time to reward An Ke.

[Dragon Country Contestant An Ke has obtained 1 SSS-rank "Random transcendent gene core".

20 "all-purpose upgrade cards".

50 "blue energy particles".

Level 1 "Base Editor".

Fully unlock the Giant Forest exploration progress!]

"An SSS-rank [core]!!"

The Thousand Changes Race audience in the live broadcast room was incredibly envious.

"Our contestants went through ten stages and never obtained an SSS-rank [core]."

"Your Blue Star Civilization is only in the second stage, and you've already obtained an SSS-rank [core]."

"Comparing oneself to others really is infuriating."

"By the time you finish the ten stages, won't your strength already allow you to enter the [Civilization Game]!"

"..."

The humans in the live broadcast did not agree with the envy of the Thousand Changes Race.

They say they got an SSS-rank [transcendent gene core] in the second stage.

But the difficulty of their Blue Star [National Fortune Game] is just too ridiculous, okay?

Other civilizations only get thrown into struggles with other civilizations after completing ten stages of the [National Fortune Game].

What about Human Civilization?

They must compete with other civilizations as early as the second stage.

If An Ke were anyone else, they wouldn't even know how they died.

It would be impossible to win.

In the live broadcast.

An Ke's eyes lit up after hearing the rewards given to him.

Hey! No need to synthesize an SSS-rank transcendent gene core anymore.

The reward gave him one directly.

Beside him, Little Roman's younger sisters made exaggerated expressions.

"An SSS-rank transcendent gene core!!"

"Isn't this first-place reward a bit too much?"

"Sister! Sister! You must make An Ke give us a generous labor fee!"

"That's right! If it weren't for us, how could An Ke have taken first place!!"

"How could he have received such generous rewards."

"Sister! Sister! You must help us fight for it!"

"..."

Their constant chattering made Little Roman feel quite helpless.

An Ke couldn't help but glance at the sisters, then with a wave of his hand, he tossed two random A-rank [cores] to each of them.

Besides the first-place reward.

An Ke had also received quite a few rewards when he captured the Peregrine Falcon.

Currently, the cores he had on hand were:

1 SS-rank, 6 S-rank, 15 A-rank, 22 B-rank, and 39 C-rank.

There were so many [cores] that An Ke even started to feel a bit of a headache.

Is this the helplessness of the strong?

The sisters, each receiving two A-rank [cores], were immediately beaming with joy.

Those who were previously talkative now acted as if their mouths were coated in honey, constantly praising An Ke.

"Big brother is so handsome!"

"The way you threw the cores really captured our hearts."

"Big brother, if you used cores to crush us to death, we would be more than happy."

"Big brother, how about we become your maids too?

You just need to give us a monthly salary, just like you do for sister."

"..."

Don't be fooled by how S-rank and even SS-rank cores seem to be everywhere now, making A-rank seem outdated.

In reality, A-rank cores are still very precious.

Especially for contestants who aren't very strong, it's very difficult for them to obtain A-rank cores.

So, An Ke tossing two A-rank cores to each of the sisters was enough to make them thrilled.

"Master, it's best if you stockpile some cores; don't waste them just because you have a lot right now."

Little Roman reminded him.

"Oh? How so?" An Ke became interested.

Little Roman had already gone through ten stages, so her understanding of the [Game] was definitely deeper than his.

This was something that [Top-tier Wilderness Survival Knowledge] and [Top-tier Encyclopedia] couldn't make up for.

"It's said that after a [core] is upgraded to level 30, which is the Medium Sequence, subsequent upgrades require auxiliary cores in addition to [all-purpose upgrade cards]."

"There's such a thing?!"

An Ke was very surprised.

He didn't expect that upgrades would also require cores.

In that case, he did indeed need to stockpile some cores to avoid being unable to upgrade later and just staring helplessly.

An Ke didn't use the SSS-rank core immediately.

He planned to finish looking at the rewards first before processing them all at once.

The 20 [all-purpose upgrade cards] and 50 [blue energy particles] allowed An Ke to replenish his resources.

The former now totaled 23 cards, and the latter had reached over 500.

Just the same, he would process them all at once later.

"By the way, what is a territory editor?"

An Ke was a bit surprised by this reward.

The [territory editor] looked similar to a tablet computer.

After some research, An Ke finally understood what the "territory editor" was.

This thing could select a football-field-sized area in any explored region to be one's own territory.

Then, just like playing a game, one could edit that area and build a territory of their own.

And the construction mode was also very simple; as long as the required building materials were met.

For example, for a thatched hut, as long as enough wood and hay were provided, the hut could be edited into existence directly.

An Ke looked over the [territory editor] and was quite satisfied with this reward.

This could greatly save the time required for construction.

After upgrading, it could further expand the editable territory while also unlocking more advanced constructions, equipment, and even defensive structures.

"Soon, the Bamboo Village will have a completely new look." An Ke put away the [territory editor], planning to give it to Kata once he returned to the Bamboo Village.

Let him be in charge of the editing.

The final reward was helping An Ke reveal the full map of the Giant Forest.

Now, the entire Giant Forest, whether the periphery, the middle, or the depths, no longer had any fog.

At the same time, this also meant one thing.

The [Game] was about to enter the third stage!
