398: Chapter 436 Anke Wants to Revive the Giant Bear?

Three Hairs was still staring at the spot where the Prehistoric Giant Bear had lain in its final moments, looking despondent.

Finally, its tiny body let out a long sigh, and it turned its head to say to An Ke:

"Master, Little Mouse intends to return to the Camp first... Little Mouse, you see, misses its companions."

Three Hairs was homesick.

It missed Tiger Mom, Leopard Mom, the Little Leopard, Gas Can, Dairy Cow Mom, Little Milk Sister, as well as the Old Crocodile Couple, Aman, and the others.

No matter what, it didn't want to leave its companions and go adventuring as a lone Little Mouse anymore.

It only wanted to stay by An Ke's side, stay with its companions, and be a useless Little Mouse.

That way, it wouldn't feel tired.

Nor would it feel a deep sense of helplessness.

The death of the Prehistoric Giant Bear had made Three Hairs lose confidence in its own strength.

After all, this was the first companion it had made on its own, yet this first companion had met such a tragic end.

It was truly too miserable.

To be honest, Three Hairs missed the life they had back at the First Camp.

Back then, although it was weak and could be stepped on by Tiger Mom or Leopard Mom if it wasn't careful...

...life was full of joy, and there was no need for constant fighting and killing amidst ever-present danger like now.

Now it was powerful, even more remarkable than its grandfather, but life had become less pure, and the joy had diminished...

"Three Hairs, wait a moment."

An Ke's voice drifted over.

Three Hairs lowered its little head and nodded listlessly.

"Three Hairs, I want to ask you something," An Ke continued.

"When you mentioned me to your bear friend, were its eyes filled with admiration?"

After a pause, An Ke added, "The kind of admiration as if it were looking at a god?"

An Ke remembered Three Hairs saying that when it mentioned him to the Prehistoric Giant Bear, it said that as long as it followed him, the Prehistoric Giant Bear would have an endless supply of food.

In that case, wouldn't the other party start to fantasize and treat An Ke like a god?

After all, the meaning of life for a creature is eating and mating.

As long as one of those needs is satisfied, the other party will inevitably revere you as a deity.

Three Hairs didn't understand why An Ke was asking this, but it still gave it some serious thought.

Then it nodded, "Yes, Master."

Having said that, Three Hairs was still somewhat listless. "Master, Little Mouse wants to leave this place of sorrow~"

An Ke couldn't help but grin, giving a mysterious smile. "Three Hairs, don't you plan to take your bear friend back with you?"

These words stunned Three Hairs, and its eyes immediately widened. "Eh?"

"Master, are you... are you serious?"

Nearby, Jingang, who was about to head back, also couldn't help but stop in its tracks, tilting its head in disbelief. "Master, are you messing with makka pakka?"

An Ke's words didn't just baffle Three Hairs and Jingang; outside, the live broadcast room was equally shocked.

"Huh? What does Boss An mean by that?"

"Wasn't the Prehistoric Giant Bear fused by India's Shalu?"

"Does he plan to find another Prehistoric Giant Bear?"

"To the person above, maybe you've hit on the truth."

"Since one Prehistoric Giant Bear appeared on the outskirts, there's bound to be a second one.

It's not impossible to find another one to replace the previous one."

"But even if he finds an identical Prehistoric Giant Bear, so what?

The personality won't be the same at all."

"Exactly. Bears are all very fierce.

A bear like the Blazing Fire Bear is an exception."

"Which other bear would be as easy to talk to as the Blazing Fire Bear?"

"..."

From everyone's perspective, An Ke's words meant he intended to find another bear to replace the Blazing Fire Bear.

Otherwise, how else could An Ke take a bear back?

The Blazing Fire Bear was already dead, and its body had been completely destroyed.

Above the Moon, in the Control Room.

No. 1379 looked at An Ke's expression on the broadcast and couldn't help but say:

"Could An Ke actually have a way to resurrect that Blazing Fire Bear?"

Behind him, several nobles turned to look at No. 1379 in unison upon hearing this.

Noble Tik, who was at the head, asked curiously:

"No. 1379, why do you think that?"

No. 1379 quickly faced Tike and said respectfully, "To answer the Noble Lord, it's because this robot has seen An Ke show this kind of meaningful, smiling expression too many times..."

Exactly! Too many times.

"That's not so strange, is it?" Noble Cieno spoke indifferently, unconcerned.

"As a monitor, your task is to oversee the [National Fortune Game] and ensure it runs without error.

And since you don't need rest, seeing a person with the same expression many times over a long period of monitoring isn't surprising, is it?"

No. 1379 nodded respectfully. "You are right, Noble Lord."

"But one thing that concerns this robot is..."

"...every time An Ke shows this expression, he follows it up by doing something that shocks this robot..."

Scene after scene of An Ke shocking him emerged from the database; every single time, he broke the rules.

This gave No. 1379 more conviction in his tone. "This robot believes that this time, An Ke will surely make another unexpected move."

"So, by making a bold association with An Ke's words, the possibility I arrived at is that An Ke intends to resurrect the Blazing Fire Bear!!"

No. 1379's words caused the nobles present to glance at each other.

Then Fama couldn't help but let out a "Heh" and laughed loudly:

"No. 1379, how dare you make such a bold assumption?"

"No matter how many secrets An Ke may have, he cannot possibly perform something like resurrection...

After all, even for god-level existences like us, such a thing is impossible."

"Only the one who created the [Game] can achieve true resurrection... which is the revival coin in the [Game]."

"Mhm! I agree with Fama this time."

Both Noble Tik and Dainike were quite optimistic about An Ke.

But even they didn't believe An Ke could resurrect the Blazing Fire Bear.

No matter how special the secrets on An Ke were, it was impossible!

"Haha!"

Fama chuckled upon hearing the two nobles agree with him.

Then, adjusting his ornate mask, he said:

"As for the revival coin, this [national destiny item] can only be used on a National Destiny Bearer.

It absolutely cannot be used on any other creature."

Fama spoke with absolute certainty.

In the past, if a noble had spoken like this, he certainly wouldn't have dared to say anything more.

But for some reason, he had a strange feeling in his heart this time—that An Ke really could resurrect it...

This firm feeling was inexplicable, as he also knew that a [revival coin] could absolutely not be used on any creature other than a National Destiny Bearer.

This was an ironclad rule of the [National Fortune Game].

Yet, for some unknown reason, No. 1379 just had a very mysterious feeling.

"N-Noble Lord, this robot feels that An Ke really can resurrect it."

Noble Fama let out a sneer upon hearing this.

"No. 1379, has your programming malfunctioned?"

"To actually say something so unrealis—"

But just then, the Chief Steward cried out, "Noble Lords, look, look quickly..."

...

Inside the live broadcast.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Three Hairs' face immediately lit up with joy.

"Master!!! Little Mouse, you see, wants to go home with the Blazing Fire Bear!!!"

Three Hairs hopped up and down in excitement.

It didn't care how An Ke would achieve such heaven-defying power.

It only knew that since An Ke had said it, he would definitely be able to do it.

This was An Ke; this was its master.

From beginning to end, An Ke had never told it a single lie; he always kept his word.

And this time, Master would surely be able to do it too.

"Heh!"

An Ke was amused by the sight of Three Hairs hopping around.

"Three Hairs, Jingang, move aside. Next is the moment to witness a miracle."

At the same time, Oufu, who had been unconscious, slowly woke up.

As the bleeding had stopped, he regained consciousness.

In his daze, he heard the words An Ke spoke: "Next is the moment to witness a miracle."

Oufu was a bit confused. What miracle?

Just then, the scene before him forcefully broke through his confusion, making him instantly alert.

"A... a miracle really happened?"

He saw a piece of flesh appear out of thin air at the spot where the Prehistoric Giant Bear had originally been lying.

Then, the flesh grew rapidly, turning into bone, organs, viscera, muscle, and finally skin and fur.

In just over ten seconds, a Prehistoric Giant Bear standing over thirty meters tall appeared before their eyes.

Its abdomen rose and fell as it breathed steadily.

It seemed to have been dreaming, as its whole body suddenly jolted before it opened its eyes and woke up.

Its thick limbs pushed up its massive body, and as it stood, it was like a giant tree rising from the ground.

"Haha! Hahaha!"

Three Hairs laughed happily, incredibly excited.

"The Blazing Fire Bear really came back to life!!!"

"Master, you are Little Mouse's bear... no! You are Little Mouse's god!"

"Hahaha! Blazing Fire Bear! Look here, look here!"

Standing nearby, Jingang's head was tilted almost ninety degrees, utterly shocked.

"Holy crap! It wasn't about messing with makka pakka, it was about shocking makka pakka."

After the Blazing Fire Bear stood up, it still seemed a bit dazed.

It opened its mouth, and the next second it spoke in human tongue: "Holy crap! How am I alive again?"

As soon as it spoke, it had the same vibe as the animals around An Ke.

Then the Blazing Fire Bear heard Three Hairs' shouting and couldn't help but look down.

It saw the Hamster, which looked like a grasshopper in comparison.

The Blazing Fire Bear suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Master! Haha!"

"I knew it! Master, it was you who saved your disciple, right?!"

Three Hairs, who had been hopping around in excitement over the Blazing Fire Bear's resurrection, suddenly froze.

A "?" appeared over its little head.

Beside it, An Ke was also a bit confused.

He couldn't help but look down at Three Hairs. "Three Hairs, didn't you say you two were friends?"

"Why is it calling you Master?"

"Little Mouse, you see, doesn't know either!!" The Little Mouse was very surprised.

Seeing this, the Blazing Fire Bear hurriedly said, "Master, have you forgotten?"

"It was you who taught your disciple how to use flames."

"If it hadn't been for that fire you used when we first met, your disciple would never have been able to use these cool flames."

An Ke thought, "Well, I'll be."

So it turns out this was all because of a misunderstanding!

In other words, this Prehistoric Giant Bear didn't know how to use flames at first.

After Three Hairs burned it, it realized in hindsight that it had gained control over the power of fire.

Then it mistakenly thought that the ability it possessed was taught by Three Hairs...

Well, why does that actually sound quite logical?

And that was indeed the case.

In the eyes of the Blazing Fire Bear, its master Three Hairs was a true talent.

No! A mouse-talent.

Not only could it set fires, but it could also pull out food hundreds or thousands of times its own size out of thin air.

Most importantly, its toughness was incredible; even a slap from the bear couldn't injure its old master.

Three Hairs was still in a daze. "Little Mouse, you see, treated you as a friend, but you actually want to be my disciple?"

It held its head, looking like it was questioning its mouse-life.

An Ke was about to offer some comfort when he saw Three Hairs suddenly look relieved.

"Forget it! Master it is, then. As long as the Blazing Fire Bear is alive, that's all that matters."

Wait! You accepted the role of "Master" that quickly?

Having accepted the role, Three Hairs stopped hopping around.

It would affect its image; since it was a Master, it had to have some class.

It immediately assumed a deep, reserved appearance and said in a low voice:

"Disciple, it wasn't your master who resurrected you.

Your master's skills aren't quite there yet. Rather..."

Three Hairs originally wanted to call An Ke "Master" as usual, but being in character, it thought for a moment.

It continued its act, "Rather, it was the Grand-master who saved you."

"Hurry and pay your respects to the Grand-master!!"

The Blazing Fire Bear was startled and quickly looked at An Ke.

The next second, as if meeting a long-revered elder, it said excitedly, "Grand-disciple pays respects to Grand-master!"

"Thank you, Grand-master, for saving my life."

An Ke fell into silence, not really wanting to go along with this.

*Cough!*

"Rise, Grand-disciple!"

In the end, An Ke compromised. Fine, fine! He'd just treat it as having gained another title.

An Ke now had so many identities it was almost frightening even to him.

Master, Benefactor, Little Friend, Boss, Brother, Leader, Boss, Your Excellency... and so on.

What did it matter if he had one more, "Grand-master"?

Behind them, Jingang's head was twisted almost beyond ninety degrees.

It felt a bit envious. "Should This Muscle Man also take a disciple to play with?"

Even further back, Oufu, lying on the ground, seriously doubted if he was already dead.

This was probably just a final hallucination before death.

A bear becoming a person's Grand-disciple—does that make any sense?

Meanwhile, in the outside world.

The Foreigners were all dumbfounded.

"He really did resurrect the Blazing Fire Bear..."

"Aren't revival coins only for humans?"

"Mainly, they're soul-bound and used passively, right?"

"What's going on? With the Dragon Country kid, it becomes an active item? And it can even be used to resurrect animals?"

"..."

The Foreigners had so much they wanted to say and curse about.

Giving Dragon Country special treatment again, are we?

It was just that they didn't have much energy left to curse anymore.

To sum it up, they were a bit numb.

If the officials didn't act, what did it matter how much they cursed?

However, what these Foreigners didn't know was that the "officials" were also very shocked.

Under Fama's ornate mask, his pupils were wide.

"How did this guy manage to use a revival coin on an animal in the game?!"

"It completely violates the ironclad rules of the game!!"

None of the surrounding nobles answered, as they were also very shocked.

Only No. 1379 remained calm.

See! See! This robot knew it.

After all, this guy is a cheater!

A major cheater!

Inside the live broadcast.

An Ke coughed, forcing down his sense of embarrassment.

He got down to business, "Grand-disciple, try and see if you can still use fire..."
