88: Chapter 88: More footprints nearby?

One hundred thousand large yellow croakers brought inestimable wealth.

Just as Professor Wu said, large yellow croakers are currently in high demand but short supply.

It's possible for a single one to sell for over a hundred million.

They could even be used as gifts for establishing friendly diplomatic relations between countries.

Just like the Dairy Cows before.

Leaders of various countries began emergency meetings to discuss how to profit from this materialization.

After all, with over 100,000 fish, even if they don't get the meat, how could they not at least get some soup?

The Lighthouse Country military even proposed directly dispatching an aircraft carrier.

Using intimidation to force Dragon Country to hand over resources and species, such as fresh water, Dairy Cows, and so on.

However, this proposal was quickly rejected.

After all, their aircraft carriers had been driven away by Dragon Country's large destroyers before.

The current Dragon Country is not something that can be easily intimidated.

The high commands of Lighthouse Country, South Korea, Maple Leaf... and other countries were all having massive headaches right now.

They didn't know how to obtain any benefits.

However, what the high command didn't know was that the ensuing riots and protests would give them an even bigger headache...

Inside the live broadcast.

An Ke sighed slightly, "I was too careless!"

He hadn't originally planned on catching a lot of seafood to take back.

His main purpose for coming to the seaside this time was to test the [Ocean Affinity Constitution] and experience what it felt like to be a "whale."

And to see if he could find any mysterious treasures along the way.

Then, when finally returning to the Camp, he would just bring a bit of seafood back.

However, he hadn't expected to encounter such a large school of delicious large yellow croakers.

Not only were they numerous, but each one was also incredibly large.

At the very least, they were as long as An Ke's entire arm and weighed forty to fifty pounds.

Even though An Ke's strength was about twice that of an average person, it was still difficult to carry too many fish.

"It would be great if they could be farmed," An Ke's thoughts drifted.

If they could be farmed, he could have large yellow croakers to eat every day in the future.

Wouldn't such a life be wonderful?

Actually, An Ke had mastered farming techniques, but the project of building a farming base was enormous.

And it would require daily effort to maintain.

An Ke didn't have that much time right now.

His most important tasks at the moment were finding mysterious treasures and exploring the island to gain more Thousand Times Materialization opportunities.

He dismissed the idea of farming.

An Ke could only eat the large yellow croakers with tears in his eyes and release those he couldn't take back into the wild.

Although he released most of the large yellow croakers.

But taking back over twenty large yellow croakers was not an easy task either.

Estimating at least forty pounds per fish, twenty-some fish would be nearly a thousand pounds.

This wasn't something An Ke and Little Scar, one man and one monkey, could pull.

After thinking it over, An Ke decided to take some back first.

The rest would be left in the fishing traps for now.

With that in mind, An Ke began to retrieve his fishing traps.

But when he looked, he was in for a shock.

He had made at least seven or eight fishing traps in total, but most of them were broken.

And it wasn't natural wear and tear.

Judging by the extent of the damage, it looked very much like human handiwork.

An Ke's face darkened slightly, and he frowned, muttering, "Did someone deliberately sabotage my fishing traps?"

The only ones he could think of were the National Destiny Bearers from other countries who had entered with him...

In the live broadcast room, the audience also saw signs that An Ke's fishing traps had been sabotaged by humans.

This caused the public to look angry.

"Which country's contestant is so immoral?"

"Investigate!! Investigate it now!"

"This kind of behavior isn't just as simple as damaging personal property; it's a diplomatic issue between two countries!"

"Damn it, once we find out which country's contestant it is, we shouldn't establish diplomatic relations with that country in the future."

"It's very likely to be Lighthouse Country, South Korea... those countries."

"I think so too. Those bastards do nothing good and are always plotting something bad."

"..."

The impact of this incident was quite severe, no less than the incident of the Netherlands National Destiny Bearer invading the Camp.

Viewers from various countries also began checking their own National Destiny Bearers.

To see if it was their own country's contestant who did it.

In fact, a large number of countries were hoping it wasn't their own National Destiny Bearer, as it could very likely anger Dragon Country.

At this critical juncture, offending Dragon Country meant they wouldn't even get a sip of the soup.

Of course! There were also some darker thoughts.

If it was their own National Destiny Bearer, they had to warn them not to easily set foot in An Ke's Camp.

There are two fierce beasts there.

In the Dragon Country supreme conference room, Elder Li looked at the Minister of Supervision.

This was a newly established department responsible for watching the live broadcasts of other countries' National Destiny Bearers.

So as to keep track of the situation of foreign National Destiny Bearers at any time.

"Do we know which country's National Destiny Bearer did it?"

Elder Li appeared calm, but his aura was actually overwhelming, making people feel a chill.

Because of An Ke's contribution, the lifespan of Dragon Country citizens had been extended by more than ten years.

The current Elder Li was more energetic than before.

"No!" the Minister of Supervision stated firmly.

"So far, we haven't found any National Destiny Bearers near An Ke's area of activity."

"Our comrades are watching 24 hours a day..."

The Minister's words made everyone in the meeting frown in surprise.

If it wasn't done by a National Destiny Bearer, then what could it be?

Inside the broadcast.

An Ke licked his lips; he felt it was likely not done by other National Destiny Bearers.

After all, if it really were other National Destiny Bearers, the Dragon Country High Command would definitely have sent a bullet comment to inform him.

Since they hadn't informed him, it meant they didn't know either.

His brow relaxed, and An Ke decided not to take it to heart.

After all, he didn't have time to catch that person right now.

Whoever it is, they will surface one day.

And he had [Spider Sense], so he wasn't afraid of danger suddenly arriving.

An Ke stopped thinking about it, dragged the broken fishing traps to the shore, and put them together.

He planned to repair them later.

Next was taking the large yellow croakers back!!

"Little Scar, see how many fish you guys can carry."

An Ke actually didn't have high hopes; carrying one would already be good.

However, to An Ke's surprise, Little Scar and the other monkey could actually carry two fish each.

That was at least seventy or eighty pounds.

"Impressive, you guys!" An Ke didn't hold back his praise.

Hearing this, the two monkeys, including Little Scar, were overjoyed and full of energy.

As for An Ke himself, he carried ten fish by himself.

This scene stunned the two monkeys, and also horrified the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Holy crap, Hercules?"

"Forgive my lack of education, but one 'holy shit' is all I need to express myself."

"Showy! Is that you, Showy!"

"This is conservatively estimated to be five hundred pounds, right?"

"Are there any weightlifters who can come out and tell us what level Boss An is at?"

Talagez: "I am Talagez. Little friend An Ke's level is already beyond the scope of cognition."

"??? Did it summon Hercules!?"

"What? Who is Talagez?"

"The world's number one weightlifter, who can easily lift a 210kg barbell."

"Easily lift? Are you serious?"

"I saw the video; this guy really did lift it easily."
