377: Chapter 400 Heading to the Giant Forest!

Trump would absolutely not “exchange money for goods” with An Ke.

Because An Ke could control their fate.

Trump would be afraid that An Ke would kill him once he revealed the location of the black technology core.

That's why An Ke raised his hand to stop Kata from continuing.

Trump slightly lowered his posture, “It’s easier to deal with intelligent people like Mr. An Ke.”

“Unlike some people who only take things for granted!”

Kata glared fiercely at Trump.

This guy actually dared to say he had no brains?

But then he thought, he had inherited over 100 billion 'dollars' from his father.

After several business failures, his assets had shrunk to over 50 billion.

It seemed he really wasn't suited for tasks requiring brainpower, only for manual labor.

Thinking this, Kata was no longer angry. Anyway, he had money and was clinging to the powerful leg of His Excellency An Ke. Why would he need brains?

“Mr. An Ke, when can we start with our conditions?”

Trump inquired.

Then he saw An Ke grin and say, “It’s already started. It’s almost been a minute…”

“No! It's already been a minute. You have 9 minutes left.”

Trump's pupils widened slightly. This kid...

He was stunned. Good heavens! Not only was it compressed to 10 minutes, but another minute was cut off?

Too...

Trump really wanted to curse, but he didn't dare, and there was no time.

He immediately shouted at the players from his country and the Kangaroo Country players led by Trump:

“Quick! Hurry and complete the Thousand Times Materialization conditions.”

“Don't worry about Condition Two and Condition Three, just complete Condition One, as much as you can!!”

The Lighthouse Country players and Lie Weifu and other Kangaroo Country players were first stunned, then all acted frantically.

To recruit employees, An Ke had attracted all the nearby animals.

Trump and Lie Weifu also saw that these animals would trigger the Thousand Times Materialization conditions.

What Trump wanted to trade was for An Ke to control these animals so they wouldn't move, making it easier for them to complete the Thousand Times Materialization conditions.

The time limit was 10 minutes.

However, An Ke disgusted Trump and the others again by forcibly shortening the time to 9 minutes.

Trump and the others could only swallow their grievances.

This is the advantage of having strength!

When your fist is hard enough, even enemies can only swallow their teeth.

Kata felt incredibly emotional.

He thought he was at least ten years older than An Ke, but An Ke was far more astute than him.

Above the Moon, in the Control Room.

Monitor No. 1379 had already climbed up from the ground. It was responsible for operating the control panel to provide live broadcasts for the Noble Lords.

Watching An Ke's actions, Monitor No. 1379 muttered to itself, but did not express its opinion.

With the Noble Lords present, it had no right to speak; it was just a ruthless robot

“Heh~”

Behind him, the effeminate-voiced Noble gave a light laugh, “I like this human’s methods~”

“What's the big deal? Isn't he just bullying people because he has a bigger fist?” The irritable Noble Brother scoffed.

“And he's even targeting his own kind.”

“That's not right!”

The Chief Noble spoke calmly. He had integrated all civilizations from ancient times to the present on Blue Star and found that the Dragon Country civilization was exceptionally brilliant.

The accumulated culture was a treasure, and now He liked to use Dragon Country culture.

“From the micro-world to the macro-universe, the essence is mutual plunder.”

“The seemingly stable universe is actually undergoing a bloody plunder every moment.”

“Fama, don't you understand this point?”

Fama, the irritable Noble Brother, merely snorted and did not reply.

“This human named An Ke not only has strength but also cunning, which makes him truly terrifying.”

“I'm increasingly looking forward to his next performance.”

“Chief Steward, you have indeed found a promising candidate.”

Upon hearing this, the Chief Steward quickly bowed slightly: “Thank you for the Noble Lord’s recognition.”

“However, his current strength is still insufficient. I hope his future growth will not disappoint us.”

“…”

In the live broadcast.

The Lighthouse Country players, and the Kangaroo Country players led by Lie Weifu, raced against time to complete the Thousand Times Materialization conditions.

With the advantage of numbers, completing the Thousand Times Materialization conditions was simpler than imagined.

Five minutes later, their two countries combined had already completed four Thousand Times Materializations.

Such progress made them beam with joy.

However, Trump did not join the team completing the Thousand Times Materialization; he chose an achievement and was desperately trying to complete it.

Trump understood very clearly.

No amount of Thousand Times Materialization could save Lighthouse Country; only completing achievements, increasing attributes, or extending lifespan was the way to go.

Because of Lighthouse Country's special national conditions, even a lot of Thousand Times Materialization would ultimately only fall into the hands of a few people.

Many ordinary people would not enjoy the benefits brought by Thousand Times Materialization...

The achievement Trump chose this time was relatively easy to complete and was related to rabbits.

The more male rabbits caught within ten minutes, the richer the rewards would be.

There were quite a few rabbits attracted by An Ke's Natural Affinity.

And the method to distinguish between male and female rabbits was simple.

Trump had heard an ancient Dragon Country saying before:

“Male rabbits' feet twitch, female rabbits' eyes are hazy.”

Trump kept grabbing the rabbits' ears, and whenever he saw a rabbit's feet twitch, he would capture it.

Using this method, he caught over a dozen male rabbits in just a few minutes.

Trump was almost laughing out loud.

Dragon Country culture is indeed profound!

A country like Lighthouse Country, with only 200 years of history, has no culture worth mentioning...

Forget it! There isn't any at all.

Soon, An Ke's voice rang out: “10 minutes are up!”

As his voice fell, the animals that had been obediently staying in place suddenly moved collectively, quickly moving away from the Lighthouse Country and Kangaroo Country players.

This caused the plans of those players who wanted to gain an advantage to completely fall through.

Many people showed regret on their faces.

However, An Ke didn't care about that; he looked directly at Trump.

Around him lay many rabbit corpses, estimated to be about thirty.

An Ke chuckled, “Trump, you've had a good harvest.”

“Since your conditions have been met, shouldn't you take me to the location of the black technology core now?”

Trump nodded: “Of course, Mr. An Ke.”

Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare not take An Ke there.

If he refused, Trump believed An Ke would not hesitate to slaughter everyone present.

The Japanese players were a typical example.

“But before that, Mr. An Ke, could you give me one minute?”

“You may!”

An Ke didn't mind this minute, and he was also curious what Trump intended to do.

He saw Trump raise his fist and shout to the sky:

“Everyone!! I have gained 1 point of physique and 10 years of lifespan for you all!!”

“I hope you will vote for me then!!”

...

An Ke never expected that this guy Trump, even after entering the National Fortune Game, hadn't forgotten to solicit votes.

It must be said, truly... dedicated.

An Ke didn't mind; let Trump solicit votes.

If he really became the leader again, it would be beneficial for both An Ke and Dragon Country.

Because this was equivalent to holding the fate of Lighthouse Country's leader in his hands.

In this way, would Lighthouse Country dare to act recklessly outside?

After Trump finished soliciting, he looked back at An Ke:

“Mr. An Ke, I’m ready. I’ll take you to the location of the black technology core.”

Pausing, Trump added, “The black technology core is in the Giant Forest. You don't mind, do you?”

An Ke chuckled, “What is there to mind?”

“There’s no place in the National Fortune Game that I wouldn’t dare to go.”

An Ke's words made all the players present feel ashamed.

Especially the Kangaroo Country players.

They still dared not venture deep into the Giant Forest; players died every day, it was simply too terrifying.

Yet An Ke went wherever he pleased, completely unafraid.

Is this the difference between people?

...

About half an hour later, led by Trump, the group entered the Giant Forest.

Only Trump was leading the way; this was his own arrangement.

This was to prevent An Ke from burning his bridges.

What if everyone led the way together, and after reaching the black technology core, An Ke immediately turned hostile and wiped them all out?

Once An Ke slaughtered everyone present, Kangaroo Country and Lighthouse Country would surely be annihilated.

With Trump alone, even if An Ke did burn his bridges, only he would die, and Lighthouse Country's losses wouldn't be too severe.

What they didn't know was that if An Ke really wanted to burn his bridges,

Even if players like Lie Weifu hadn't come to lead the way, they wouldn't have been able to escape.

He had too many ways to know where other players would go.

However, An Ke had absolutely no interest in annihilating all the players from Lighthouse Country and Kangaroo Country.

Of course! Unless they were courting death.

An Ke and his group maintained their initial formation.

Kata and the Golden Silk Spider group took the Velociraptors back to the Camp, handing them over to Savage Yi, who was responsible for raising them.

About a dozen of them died in battle, and their corpses were thrown into An Ke's Portable Space.

Then Kata relayed this to the Cooking Squad, instructing them to take them out for processing.

That is, to prepare a batch of roasted Velociraptor meat for An Ke and his group to eat when needed.

Because the Cooking Squad included the Female Monkey and Savages, they could also use the Portable Space.

“The trees here are like roads leading to the upper levels…”

Xiao Mei walked along, looking up at the scene of the Giant Forest, her beautiful eyes filled with novelty.

The branches of the giant trees were enormous, intertwining like elevated bridges built in mid-air.

Because of this, the entire Giant Forest seemed to be divided into dozens of layers, reaching up to the treetops.

The other animals also found it very magical; it was their first time seeing such enormous trees.

Walking through this Giant Forest felt as if they themselves had shrunk.

A single fallen leaf seemed like a blanket.

King Kong and Ah Giao, these two thick-headed animals, were having a blast.

The novelty made them feel this place was very fun.

However, An Ke had no interest in playing.

As he delved deeper into the Giant Forest, he discovered that the environment here was somewhat like a tropical rainforest.

The only difference was that under the big trees was the sea; other than that, there was no other difference...

It's important to know that tropical rainforests are human no-go zones.

There are approximately 2.5 million species of insects alone, over a thousand bird species, and at least several hundred types of deadly beasts.

The most famous are jaguars, commonly known as black panthers, and anacondas...

Besides fierce beasts and poisonous animals,

Rainforests also pose a terrifying danger: naturally occurring marsh gas and miasma.

Once entered, the survival rate in such a place is almost zero.

Therefore, An Ke was extremely vigilant, prepared to deal with any danger that might appear at any time.

Fortunately, the location of the black technology core was on the outskirts of the Giant Forest, not too deep, so the danger was not too great.

Along the way, they encountered animals like grasshoppers and centipedes, but An Ke easily “tamed” them.

Although they were large, they weren't excessively so, so Natural Affinity could influence them.

“Mr. An Ke, we’ve arrived.”

Ahead, Trump's voice suddenly rang out, attracting the attention of An Ke's group.

“The black technology core is in the middle of this pile of flowers.”

“However, these flowers are incredibly dangerous and should not be approached easily.”

An Ke looked forward.

He saw ahead a dense growth of brightly colored flowers.

They were about two stories high, with all their blossoms closed and hanging downwards.

“Dangerous?”

Old Crocodile Couple, Ghost Face, and Little Scar were a bit confused.

They didn't understand what was dangerous about these flowers; they were clearly so beautiful.

An Ke, however, stared at the flowers with a solemn expression.

Then he spoke in a deep voice: “These flowers are indeed very dangerous.”

“Clan Leader, do you recognize these flowers?” Xiao Mei asked curiously.

“Mm!” An Ke nodded.

An Ke, who possessed the top-tier

This includes flora and fauna that humans have not yet discovered.

These flowers in front of him were a type of plant not yet discovered by humans, named Nightmare Flower.

They were genuine man-eating flowers.

Don't be fooled by their drooping stamens; they would immediately attack at the slightest disturbance.

Most importantly, Nightmare Flowers also produced a special scent.

These scents had a nerve-paralyzing effect, causing animals to fall into a deep sleep.

Hence the name Nightmare Flower.

This was the first time An Ke had seen such a plant undiscovered by humans.

At this moment, Spider Foresight was triggered, with medium intensity.

This meant he had been targeted by an enemy.

Undoubtedly, what triggered Spider Foresight were the Nightmare Flowers before him.

They were like having invisible eyes, staring at everyone.

“Trump.”

An Ke had a question and asked directly:

“How did you know there was a black technology core in here?”

“Normally, you wouldn't be able to step inside, would you?”

An Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, becoming very dangerous.

He somewhat suspected that Trump intended to use the Nightmare Flowers to eliminate them.

Trump merely met An Ke's gaze and instantly felt terrified.

An Ke's eyes were too sharp, with clear killing intent.

Trump felt that if he said one wrong word, he would surely die.

His violently pounding heart made sweat break out on Trump's forehead, and he quickly said:

“We naturally couldn't step inside. Previously, a Netherlands player died tragically just by getting close.”

“The reason we knew the black technology core was among these flowers was because we coincidentally saw it on a tree trunk…”

“Mr. An Ke, you, you come with me, and I’ll show you…”

...
