505: Chapter 553 A New Trouble Has Arrived!

Previously, the second phase of the [Game] started after An Ke's island map was fully revealed.

Now that the map of the Giant Forest is fully revealed, it means the [Game] is about to enter its third phase.

As expected, after the [Game] finished announcing the rewards, the next [Announcement] declared the start of the third phase.

Phase Three—Undersea World!

Introduction: There are many mysterious entrances within the Giant Forest that lead to the magical regions of the seabed.

In this magical Undersea World, many bubbles exist underwater. These bubbles contain a large amount of air. As long as land-dwelling creatures make good use of these bubbles, they can dive freely under the sea. P.S.: The Undersea World is covered in "gold"!

Outside, in the live broadcast room.

"The third phase is actually an Undersea World!"

"If it were someone like me with deep-sea phobia, wouldn't I be scared to death on the spot?"

"It feels a bit dangerous..."

"Didn't the Phase Three introduction say that there are many bubbles in the Undersea World?"

"As long as you make good use of those bubbles, you won't lack oxygen."

"In theory, yes, but reality often brings accidents."

"What if you accidentally swim into an area where bubbles are scarce?"

"Imagine, when you're about to run out of breath and there are no bubbles around to provide a refill."

"How much despair would there be in the dark, deep sea?"

"Stop it, I'm already starting to feel suffocated."

"..."

The depths of the ocean are a forbidden zone for humanity.

Even the Dragon Country Masses, who can now rival Captain America, would surely die if they were in the deep sea without supplies.

Furthermore, dying in suffocation, oppression, and darkness, their bodies would eventually sink to the pitch-black, lonely seabed, forever unknown to anyone.

Even ignoring drowning, what if they encounter a Beast Attack on the seabed?

Sharks, killer whales... considering Dinosaurs have appeared, there's a high probability of ancient creatures on the seabed.

Mosasaurus, Plesiosaur, Dunkleosteus... and other even more brutal marine life.

Moreover, the seabed is not their home turf; it's very difficult for the contestants to exert 100% of their strength there.

Take the punch An Ke used to explode the Savage Ghostly just now; in the Undersea World, that punch would likely have its power reduced by half, or even more.

The density of the ocean is much higher than that of air.

...

While the outside audience was discussing fervently, An Ke in the broadcast didn't care.

Don't forget, he has the Ocean Affinity Constitution.

"Good thing I didn't use Fusion on this ability," An Ke thought luckily.

Back when he first got the core fusion device, An Ke had planned to fuse away some of his useless abilities.

After all, an individual can only equip a maximum of 10 cores.

To equip more, one must use national destiny items to increase the limit.

As for what those national destiny items were, An Ke didn't know; he hadn't encountered any so far.

With the Ocean Affinity Constitution plus Breath-holding Proficiency and Lung Capacity Proficiency, An Ke could hold his breath for over 35 minutes underwater.

Even if there were no bubble refills for a while, he wasn't too worried.

The only thing to consider was the other members.

Given the personalities of members like King Kong, they would definitely go exploring with him.

An Ke felt it would be best to Share the Ocean Affinity Constitution with them...

He'd see when they were ready to explore...

An Ke didn't plan to overthink it.

The end of the limited-time event made An Ke want to rest and reorganize for a while.

Tired! So tired!

If this sentence were heard by contestants from other civilizations, An Ke would definitely become a target of public criticism.

For the first six days of the event, An Ke's group had been idling around.

They only experienced one battle because they encountered the Twin Kings of Tar.

And then they started hunting Peregrine Falcons on the last day.

This is called being tired?

Then what about the other civilization contestants who were busy running around and constantly hunting Peregrine Falcons?

The key was that even though the other civilization contestants worked so hard, the first place still fell to the Blue Star Civilization.

It was simply ridiculous!

Was it because they weren't working hard enough?

An Ke planned to go back and hold a victory banquet, when his peripheral vision accidentally caught little Roman and her sisters.

The sharp-tongued sisters were now looking at An Ke with glowing eyes.

Their attitude was incredibly humble and polite.

An Ke couldn't help but curl his lip; how pragmatic!

When they weren't getting benefits from him, they would occasionally show him disdain; now that they had gained benefits, their smiles were sickeningly flattering.

"Little Roman, the limited-time event is over. Are you all going or staying next?"

Little Roman didn't hesitate at all, bowing slightly as she said, "Of course we are staying by Master's side~"

"Even if the connection channel to our [Game] territory closes, I will still stay by your side."

Hearing about little Roman's [Game] territory, An Ke's eyes lit up.

"By the way, little Roman, can you let us go to your [Game] territory for a visit?"

An Ke was very curious about the [Game] territories of alien civilizations.

Based on current observations, the territories in the [Game] were generally related to the planetary environment where the civilization lived.

"Hehe!" Little Roman nodded. "Since it's Master's request, of course there's no problem."

"However, please don't have too high expectations, Master. Sightseeing is just leaving a place you're tired of to go to a place someone else is tired of."

Despite her words, An Ke still had strong curiosity.

Not just him, but many viewers in the outside live broadcast room were also curious.

They had previously seen the Savage Civilization's [Game] territory, which was an area of endless yellow sand. They didn't know what the Thousand Changes Race's territory was like.

An Ke made arrangements for the next itinerary.

He planned to spend one day tomorrow to digest the gains from this time; he had to have a clear understanding of his own side's current strength.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Then he would hold the victory banquet.

On the second day, he would use the teleportation device to check out the Thousand Changes Race's territory and play there for a few days.

After playing, they would enter the third phase of exploration.

The plan was made, but An Ke always felt that the [Game] would pull some kind of stunt.

Now that the limited-time event was over, would the [Game] connect to new civilizations next?

After connecting new civilizations, what kind of elimination mechanism would the [Game] open?

The answer came shortly after An Ke woke up the next day.

The [Game Announcement] echoed through the field:

[In 48 hours, all civilizations that have completed the 'National Fortune Game' will be connected to the Blue Star Game territory.

Countdown: 47:59:59.

47:59:58...

...]

Above the Moon, inside the Control Room.

Screen No. 1379 displayed a "shocked" emoji.

It suddenly turned back to look at the Chief Steward and several Noble Lords: "Lords, doesn't this mean our domain's final Elimination Round has started early?"

"Will the representative contestants for the [Civilization Game] be directly filtered out after this ends?"

The Noble Tik nodded. "Exactly!"

"And the most critical thing is that all civilizations are connecting to the Blue Star Game territory..."

"This means the Blue Star territory will become the main battlefield..."

...
